The Mystery Of Lisbon's Buried Mummies
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2024
- At the request of the Catholic Church in Lisbon, members of the Royal Archeology and Historical Association (RAHA) of Portugal excavate 78 mummies in a crypt beneath the altar of the Sacramento Church in Lisbon. In the course of excavation the researchers find handwritten books indicating there is a large amount of treasure buried - somewhere - near the mummy crypt. They also discover the exotic history of many of the mummies, including one known as 'The King of the Congo.'

I'm Portuguese and I'd never heard about this. A secret, indeed. loll
Também nunca, fiquei espantada
Eu nem sou Português e fico curioso como portugueses não sabem disso...
@@CarlosAmorimCarvalho Pronto, se o faz sentir superior aos outros saber disto, que fique lá na sua.
@@lucciacristina6636 É caso para perguntar: quantas mais múmias há neste país?? lol
Incrível ...este segredo k nós Portugueses desconhecemos!!!🧐
Clearly the people who make these videos are tone deaf. We have been complaining about the terrible sound mixing for years but it still sucks.
It has to do with youtube. Ive watched plenty of videos on television that then made their way onto youtube and sounded awful
It really drives me mad. I'm partially deaf and I find it difficult to hear the narrative.
I'm 10minuts in, and will probably quit the video because ofvthe awfull noise!
Please remember it's not always the same people making the documentaries, it's just an unfortunate common mistake among post-production.
This is an old documentary just re-uploaded. No one uses this type of editing anymore.
I can’t help but feel that this documentary is more sensationalist rather than being educational
No substance, just sensationalism - that is too much and doesn't work. Bad for history channels.
The entire series is like that!
As someone who's portuguese, I agree. We should have done it ourselves, but the country can barely afford itself, much less excavate itself. We need to start funding our own excavations and recoveries like this, otherwise we hire anyone to do it, apparently.
@STUDIO 66 they need to start funding *educational* & modern documentaries about our rich history: kings, battles, discoveries, etc. I've watched all about British dynasties and Russian czars. Sadly, Portugal has yet very little to offer to it's people/ abroad so, strangers will have to do it (like this), it's a shame actually, to keep on investing in soap operas instead, thinking that's all people want.
@@neuropretense preach, if only we had people other than middle aged men running production companies, and hired some diversity and new ideas for our tv and film, but nah, they make tv following a blueprint that is not only outdated, but completely unrealistic on a larger commercial scale in the age of internet and online streaming. A waste of our talent, and a waste of our History.
Music sounds like a 90’s suspenseful international bank heist drama.
OMG!
You folks complaining about the music while they are tearing ancient clothing and squeazing mummified faces to keep the body still as they brush it!
Aaaaaaaaaaggghhhhhhh!
I literally screamed!
They should have remained undiscovered until real researchers appeared!!!!!
I no right like just leave them alone poor mummy's I feel so sorry for them can't they let them be at peace
I think they had to be quick and slightly rough to get the "quick lime" off, before it ate everything
It sucks but when you're pressed for time people get sloppy and its horrible.
History haters
Exactly. They are tearing at everything and the stupid noise in the background is part and parcel of the lack of respect.
The way that guy carelessly handled the hat really bothered me. I've watched enough professional archaeological digs to know that's NOT how you do it. Were any of these people professionals? Very scary.
Yes, I'm glad you said so. I agree. This was very strange. Seemed too focused on the filming and not enough on the preservation. I'd think actual scientists would have been much more methodical.
They're actors pretending not to be treasure hunters. Ooohhh secret treasure and mummies.
@@dr.barrycohn5461 you are an actor CCP, I'm on to YOU
No actually none of them where! They are just rich that's all. They have the money to do what they want. Smh
Antiquarians
The background music is to much, if you want to listen to this upload. Looked interesting too.
I agree
Me too
Agreed, especially if you are trying to watch it on your TV
The music is interfering with my ability to understand what the narrator is saying. It's nice music; I would listen to it with pleasure at another time.
And the mic breathing
All I can say is, Dan Brown has a lot to answer for.
lmao
HAHAHA true
This is atrocious both the excavation and the filming. Really brutal and irreverent handling of the bodies doing untold unnecessary damage. The filming constantly focuses on the faces of individuals who are doing the desecration instead of concentrating on the church, the coffins and the bodies or artefacts. They should have called in professional archaeologists and people sympathetic to the religious sensibilities. The people responsible for the manner of this clearance and the poor filming and editing should all be censured and banned from ever repeating such a thing.
I have no particular affinity with any religion, race, culture or nation, but it saddens me when people destroy ancient things of value. Especially the remains of humans.
@Duno Long Time will do what time does, there's not much we can do about that. But stupid violent monkeys just being destructive is an obnoxious shame.
Taking out the first corpse "at midnight" ??? Come on!! And having the painting there too, what is this, a episode of Ghostbusters!?!
Although it is sensationalist, and too much, Portuguese are superstitious people, I know because I am one. A portuguese citizen I mean, superstition is second to science for me when it comes to things like this...
The music is horrible! Get rid of it.
Alas this would have been the same when it was on the TV.
I hate the parts where it sounds like the narrator is blowing on their mic.
its a history video it isn't a fake drama movie
The entire subject is horrible, so the music is perfectly adjusted to it
I'm portuguese and i love watching this videos about my country! About my city Lisbon! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
sabem la estas antas o k e historia Debora eles precebem e de pubs kkkkkkkkkk
Really interesting.
Question: the MUSIC.... WHY!!!?? 🤦🏼♂️ 🤷♂️ Makes it sounds like a Media Studies student ruined your great documentary!!
It sounds more like an American editor made the soundtrack... they like unnecessary dramatic music that usually distracts from the (in American documentaries, at least) sparse information...
And the narrator talks too close to his microphone too
This would be an excellent video if only the background music were not so loud. The story is interesting enough not to need so much dramatic music.
Proud to know you personally, Carlos and Paul!
What an amazing film!
this dude just drops the "I am a part of an ancient brotherhood " card
Like it's some sort of thing we're all supposed to know. No context, no real explanation as to who the "ancient brotherhood" is. *Shakes head*
As my brother would say:
Drinking Game!🔔🍻
whats the ancient brotherhood ?
@@e.k874 not sure ..he doesn't say but the Portuguese helped hide the Templars so it could be them... lol I dunno but i fear I may have said too mu.....gaaahhh!
@@garygwong88 hahahaha idk man for some reason the title Ancient brotherhood just sounds racist to me lmaoo
i´m portuguese and i´m disgusted by the way such an interesting find should be treated so poorly. That´s surely not how archeology should be done. Also i know the narrator and his REALLY full of himself...
Quem é o gajo btw?
@@rafa2117s exacto! É claramente português! LOL
Yes. Pretty boy never hid his face behind a mask.
@@rafa2117s Pelo estilo, há-de ser uma boa abécula arrogante
The churches of Portugal are ornate, have a deep history which is often surprising. Viva Portugal.
My dad is born and raised Portuguese and I love traveling back there to visit family with him. He is so incredibly knowledgeable about Portuguese history etc.
me watching corpses at 2 am in my dark room alone!! ... gosh what brought me here 1!!
absolute 0 care of the remains ... just rip through ancient cloth and linens ...
Being portuguese myself, for many years I've heard the rumor that the ark of the covenant was hidden somewhere in Portugal by the knights templar. Very interesting and quite possible (but it's one probability among many), but these mummies I had never heard of before, and the way these people are handling supposedly centuries-old human remains is a bit shocking..... Nonetheless fascinating stuff and Portugal certainly abounds in historical facts and curiosities of this sort.
Pena termos mãos tão brutas e burras, a mexer na arqueologia tão rica que cá temos. Desde o jurássico ao seculo 20.
@@sun6moon9 Mãos brutas e cabeças burras, mas acham-se todos muito inteligentes e fora de série. Falar com muito deste pessoal é uma experiência sórdida. Basta dizer algo de que eles não gostem ou apontar-lhes qq coisa de errado que puxam logo dos galões académicos que fizeram da mesma maneira que trabalham (mal e porcamente).
This is so heartbreaking to see the bones of the souls that once held inside are in such bad shape.
Huge disappointment. Music was not congruent with the subject and no answers are given.
Really?! 😑
And the sound effect between sequences is also annoying.
Disappointment this video was uncomplete documentary. Seems as if they want to pay for subscription to a history channel to view part 2 & maybe part 3 of this one documentary? I can' t afford that. So I hope the information about the mummies, their DNA studies, etc., will be written up for one of the Historical Journals available for free on internet.
@White Knight I have seen a few other Timeliness videos that were much better. This one is just a bad egg.
Couldn’t agree more. The camera work, sound effects, and music are something we’ve come to expect from a modern documentary which is unfortunate. These production values feel over-baked and detract from an otherwise fascinating subject.
I'm amazed at how good the hands of some mummies were preserved. Like, most of the Egyptian mummies I have seen have really boney hands, but some of these mummies have hands that look like they were from a living person (if you don't take the discolourations into account of course).
An interesting topic. Unfortunately, the music is unfit for this kind of documentary and narration is flat.
Yeah, I was pretty distracted by his Brooklyn or Queens accent, even if it wasn't that heavy. Quite a shift from the normal narrative style of these videos.
@@ewestner At least he managed to pronunce the Portuguese names flawlessy
its a history video it isn't a fake drama movie
Sorry, but the "music" took away from the solemnity and consecrated ground upon which you were attempting to do research. It even took away from the dead their dignity. What were you thinking?
seriously...the days of veneration of the catholic church is coming to an end...to much unholy wicked acts in that church. Let the music play
I think the music is to distracting.
The music is bad. I mean really bad.
Being inthat crypt, handling human remains, breathing that air without a mask seems so careless and dangerous. "Curses"are often the result of such carelessness.
Nope, can't do it. Music is droning, "I am part of the ancient brotherhood", church destroyed by a "horror of nature", "but if several of the mummies were destroyed, then perhaps that meant that several were NOT", "it was like going back in time with a TIME MACHINE". This documentary manages to be both weirdly creepy and insipid all at once.
backround music too loud!!!!!!!!!!!!
The documentary kept my attention, but that nasal breathing against the mic was really distracting.
This was a pretty cool documentary! I learned something new and it held my interest. Awesome work!
Sort out the sound, use a mixer!
For the love of god please make sure your narrator quits breATHING INTO THE MIC.
LOLOL, yes!
Why? Short. Answer: Collectors. Mummies were the action figures of old.
😝😂
Mummy brown paint and mummy based holistic remedies were in demand for a short time long ago. Which is insane to think about. How can you know what a mummy is and not be repulsed and morally offended by use of human remains in this manner but
...a good sum were not.
calska140 True that.

Yeah the way they handled these remains even the skulls
Really? That was supposed to be an archaeological documentary, Time team would put them to shame.
Thanks for the warnings in the comments about how they handled the bodies so I could give it a miss.Sad to disrespect those who went before us.
This video absolutely upset me, there was no care for the dead at all. At the end you can see them just cutting through the sock ruining a perfectly preserved piece of clothing. they broke many of the bodies up as in one scene the body would have both arms and in the next the arm would be all the way at the foot of the coffin. I feel they should have sent another team to handle this case all together.
I'm Portuguese and I didn't know about, this but the level of English from the narrator is amazing. We Portuguese know a lot of English but is level is quite amazing
@Duno Long ok.
Terrible documentary. Interesting initial question but then all around horrible execution, in both the handling of the remains and the editing of the video. The audio was all off. It felt like sometimes it was volume 1 and the next second it was volume 7. And I kept thinking I was missing time cause the narrator would drop info like it was already part of the story. The Syphilitic kid? What freaking Brotherhood?? Was that guy a priest? So confused
The royal brotherhood of the most blessed sacrament. At 17:35
@@undertaker66687 I have a problem with any kind of brotherhood and this did not explain anything at all.
It explains in the beginning. 1 minute into the video
March 28?! That’s my birthday! Wow!! That guy in the painting died on my birthday almost 200 years ago! The only bothersome thing with this video was that the music really made it difficult to understand what they were saying. Whoever made this video doesn’t know how to properly add music so it doesn’t interfere with the audio
This is so simply done, but I love it. And, it's the same team of scientists from the Christopher Columbus doc. I love Timeline but it's usually do British centered and the same old themes.. Good change.
When I was younger, anyone could walk up to, around, and through, Stonehenge. An incredible place.
I learned very little from this. This was not a proper archaeological investigation. The bodies should have been carefully removed to a sterile location for proper examination. They couls have been brought back to the crypt later.
They needed the people from the old Time Team show.
Unfortunately, a few have passed away. But I'm sure there are still a few around that would be interested. I know I saw Tony helping out on another show. Can't remember the name though.

Many people in Cornwall lost their lives in the Tsunami following the Lisbon Earthquake, the wave hit Cornwall just after 2pm. The French writer Arnold Boscowitz claimed that "A great loss of life and property occurred upon the coasts of Cornwall" In Newlyn and Penzance the sea rose by ten feet, I know it doesn't sound a lot, but both places are fishing ports and us Cornish have always built our homes right up to the sea and all the work was around the harbour from the fishwives selling the fish to the fishermen mending their nets. When it rose ten feet suddenly it would have carried off so very many. Loe would have been effected very badly by this event too, though there are no historical records... it only takes a high spring tide or a storm to flood the town now by the sea.
I spoke with an archaeologist at Castelo dos Mouros once, and she explained how (at that time, maybe 2011?) there was a lot of frustration over digs, because 1) there aren't many in Portugal even with it's incredibe history, 2) with good reason, the government was very... slow to approve any permits, and 3) most students would rather go to exotic places to work so it was difficult to find people to work them. It is interesting to see this team get such access so (apparently) easily.
i-m late to this but it seems to be true that Portugal has allowed lots of desecration of important historical sites Where I live in the Algarve people have been allowed to build villas over the top of both Roman and neolithic sites Tourists have wandered around old Roman GARUM fish paste sites digging out pieces of mosiac quite shocking
Objectively look at what is happening in this video. People can be so creepy.
Ancient Brotherhood looking for Holy Relics? Sounds familiar
We work in the shadows to serve the light
Unholy pagan relics.
i found it interesting that there was an african king buried there. :)
The book lists: 72.
Found remains: 78.
"Now they are no longer nameless"
Seriously?! 😦😕
It is so annoying to have this guy talk at the beginning of every timeline video.
yes, but it's his baby.
Timeline was a serious, worth watching programme on the telly when he was a baby. His presence is purely because his dad was a presenter for the BBC and that seems to have opened doors for him. Can't see any other reason why.
Get to the point, this just drags on and says Nothing.

Its badly produced. The "autopsy " looks amateurish..its really bad.
Sure, go ahead and tell the yogurt shop worker that her shop used to be a mass crypt, she'll be fine.
FANTASTIC!!!
Will more work be done?
I can't finish this video because of the dramatic music, it cheapens any of the history you are talking about. Thank you for trying, tho.
try mute with captions
I have to agree with other comments the music spoils what is being narrated.Why the music?
This video was very interesting, I enjoyed it! The music was not that bad.

@paperchasin23 one glove only. Like he thinks he's Michael Jackson.
Thank you for the documentary... but the background music is far too loud. At some points it almost covers the narration.
Really enjoyed this documentary
lol nice tape measure for your "examination" and analysis...a very qualified team of researches and workers (47:50)...not. What a joke. This could have been interesting.
Yes, I noticed that & noticed same tape measure wasn't used on same mummy. Hhmm, suggestions other qualified researchers were involved but not included in this video.
They are ridiculous...!😀
Not half bad, but the bit at the end absolutely sucked. This presentation didn't know if it wanted to be a documentary or a horror movie a la The Mummy. Bad form, guys.
i enjoyed the history and would like to know what else has been uncovered

I've gone to see them both times I went to Ireland! It was heartbreaking to hear of the theft and desecration a year or so ago.
Amazing. May they Rest in Peace.
He looks like he is on his way to mummification himself. And I love the dramatic scary music when the woman is handing him a yoghurt!. Who knew yoghurt was so terrifying! Totally pointless, rambling waste of 50 minutes. How not to make an historical documentary.

@@sbenton62 Thank you
I love the great amount of local history you provide in this video 💕 very informative! Thank you 🙏🥰
What a car crash of a documentary and investigation. I couldn't finish it. The music is SO unfit for the content, and bleeds into the entire piece making it so difficult / near impossible to get invested. add to it the wonky edits and effects and it makes for a nasty watch. Felt like it was stuck in the early 90s. The narration had no depth to it, sounded like he was reading from a prompter. But the investigation... oh my word. To see mummies handled so poorly. Bones rummaged through, clothes and fabric torn, finery broken, aggressive brushing of the bodies. It was all so painful to watch.
Timeline your SO much better than this
Is it just my imagination, or does the guy in the painting, around 38 mins in, look very much like the guy who's narrating the documentary?
Someone already steal the gold , and why isnt in portuguese with english sub
Interesting that the MOST IMPORTANT BOOK lists the gold and silver treasures of the church. Even back then - warthly treasure was more important to the church than heavenly treasure. What a deception has been wrought by the catholic church.
Aaah, I think that was his own opinion on the book, not the church's. 😂😂😂 You are stretching it
@@t0n0k0 Ocanada is correct. Catholic is and will always be pagan Rome. Beliefs, riches, relics all from Rome from Babylon. Thank you God for giving me brains to get out of Babylon.
It's sad to see the human remains being discarded like piles of rubble. They deserve a dignified and proper burial.😢
Well you don't see that every day !!
O, yes....we saw it all the times,..."Tales From the Crypt"....horrific....)))::))
The chamber below the floor helped in the mummification process, lower and constant temperature over time, as it was sealed centuries ago, it created a small percentage of vacuum, generating less oxygen. Essentially there are two factors that help mummification, constant low temperatures over time and the environment surrounding the body must be rarefied, with little oxygen.
Some people wanted the mummies to grind them up and add them to food for "health" benefits!
WOW. VERY INTERESTING !! The narrator AND the writer are apparently are PROUD of being MASONS ??!!!
They should have just left those remains there to rest eternity
The background music is HORRIBLE. Whoever picked that should be fired!
Researchers: please wear protective gear. Our guy: Imma wear an old timey evil scientist outfit.
Researchers: please wear gloves to touch this ancient book. Our guy: I’ll wear ONE. And I’ll touch the book with my bare hand. Wheee!
Jesus what a train wreck of a video.
Gut wrenching to see these very old things being so badly handled - from the mummy's to the caskets and the amazing books. Who keeps such precious books in the open like that. That's just sinful and who is this Paul the narrator's talking about? Why couldn't Paul speak for himself ? So many disturbing things. I hope professionals are brought in. Who knows how much evidence these people have destroyed 😨🤔😠
They didn’t bury mummies. They buried people who, after time, became mummies.
Clearly the host of the show is one of the mummies. His task is to keep it untouched
Ah, a good documentary and a good cup of coffee. Perfect.
... and then the music started.

Why weren't the bodies given new, simple coffins out of respect?? And a ceremony? I'm shocked.
Lol, Starting out with Mr Timeline tight pants @ Stone Henge.
Are you sure that was Stonehenge? There are plenty of sites like that in Portugal, just not as imposing or big.
It’s ironic that the Lisbon disasters destroyed more churches than brothers. Apparently their “red light district” survived much better than the holier places in town. I’m assuming it’s because of the difference in building materials and how close they were to the ocean.
The only mystery here is how timeline agreed on sponsoring this video. Piece of advice for the people that made this video; If you don´t know what you are doing... If you don't have a story to tell for the lack of research... just don't do it.
