Me when a channel I follow posts a brand new video to the top of my feed: "oh neat! I don't have time this morning but I will watch this later!" Me when it's a Cinzia video: "I will click this immediately and I will MAKE the time I will watch the whole thing start to finish when it's a quarter hour old and THE RHYTHM SHALL ACKNOWLEDGE MY WILL"
@@CinziaDuBois no you! 🖤🖤 I'm disabled with no income or I'd be a patron. In lieu of that, this is the best I can offer... So I make damn sure I do it! This was a great video as per usual, thank you so much! 🖤
This is one of those things that I got briefly really obsessed with when I was reading the Vampire Chronicles. The creators of vampire kind (indirectly) practiced endocannibalistic funeral rights.
Maharet and Mekare in the Vampire Chronicles were exactly what I thought of when I saw this video’s thumbnail! Great job, Cinzia, yet again! I sensed that Anne Rice got that idea from something historical.
@marquisejefferson1648 Anne Rice said more than once that all of her mythology around Akasha and the creation of her vampires was borrowed from ancient Egyptian, Assyrian, and Mesopotamian sources.
I have said it before but your narration is the tops. Your voice and accent are so enjoyable to listen to. It took your voice to get me to listen to all of this. Yikes like the Road but Blood Meridian is way better imo but very dark.
This the first time ever hearing about sky burials it's absolutely fascinating. I didn't even know about this. Learning something new every day thank you.
I could listen to an hour-long video on this topic. I'm going to check out my library and see what books they have on the variety of topics you talked about in this video. I really need to get a current archeology or anthropology book. ❤
I went trekking in Tibet in the mid 80's and learned about various Tibetan Buddhist burial practices, that included sky burial. As I recall, a sky burial was an indicator of wealth and status. If you coudn't afford it, then water burial was next best thing, where the body parts were fed to the fish. And so forth down the line. Apparently back then, a tourist could pay to attend a sky burial but why you would want to beats me. I have no idea if the practice continues today. Excellent start to my Friday Cinzia!
It's so interesting to hear about these vastly different practices! Thank you for another video that completely opens my mind to new topics and details!
Seems like forever in-between your vids Cinzia, but always worth the wait! Another excellent production. I'm sooo glad to be a part of your coven my dear😊
love you cinzia, i've been binging your videos for the last month and one even helped me find some articles useful for my uni thesis!! thank u for your amazing work and for sharing your passion with us♡
I think people forget that most of our knowledge of our ancient past is guess work since even if things were written down paper rarely lasts and neither does clothing. So we are left with bones and bits and pieces of things made out of rock, metal or bone. It will be interesting what archeologists figure out about Iron age burial practices.
i like the idea of the "tower of silence" and placing bone remains in the center. really interesting ritual. but i only imagine all of kinds wildlife, dangerous to those bringing more meat bags to the table, drawn to the area.
Tell me about it, the controversy around is was insane. I thought I'd share what has been a bit more accepted, but the full extent of everything is WILD
Ms. Dubois, I do not mean in the least to be rude, with this comment, but we evidently learned different terms. The practice of leaving remains outside for scavengers (preferably vultures) to predate on are called exposure burials. When I learned about Zoroastrianism in a Persian language course, the understanding was birds would take the spirit into the sky. Ideally the bones would be cremated. Prions are mutated proteins. I appreciate your content, and most of the time your research is impeccable.
Awesome video! I hadn't heard anything about those Iron Age Britons, that was wild! There's a site in the US, in FLORIDA of all places, called the Windover Archaeological Site that's around 7,000 years old that's really interesting, too.
Thanks for another fascinating video. I always look foreward to them. I worked in research in the 1970s, studying Kuru, and other demylenating diseases. Kuru is the same prion disease as "Mad Cow Disease". This of course was spread by eating animals , which had consumed feed containing bovine nervous tissue ( brain, and spinal cord). Its is believed that the islander still practice cannibalism. Adds new meaning to be consumed with grief.
just remembered the time i had a lengthy conversation with a homeless fella and he was telling me about that disease people get after eating a human. he was hilarious, said something like “you gotta be a real tough sort of person to withstand cannibalism. most go insane. you’ll also need to take the deadliest shit, then RUN! if you smell it you will die!!!! you don’t want to go through all the trouble of eating a corpse just to shit and die.” i miss him
(tangentially related, RE: cannibalism) There was some argument back in the day which I rather agreed with about H.P. Lovecraft's writing being a bit racist, but then I realized that just around the time he was writing one of the Rockefellers had been lost on expedition to Africa and very likely cannibalized. It made me realize that while imperialism was bad, it was perhaps less bad than murder cannibals, even if there was cultural justification at the time. Not every aspect of every culture is good, as taboo as that topic is in modern ages. There's too many examples to argue otherwise in good faith.
Didn't the queen of Halicarnassus consume wine containing the ashes of her husband (and brother), Mausolus whose name is ironically immortalized in the tomb that became one of the seven wonders of the ancient world? lol
Many of the American practices are as interesting as they are varied. The bog bodies from what is now Florida even have preserved the oldest physical evidence of human weaved cloth.
It's very difficult for archeologists when the culture didn't intern their dead in some way. Cremation, sky burials, exposure etc doesn't leave a lot behind. Cannibalism is more difficult in terms of figuring out if it's ceremonial or actually driven by starvation as in Neanderthals for example. Most of what we find out about ancient cultures/ ancient humans comes from grave goods & human remains. If there isn't any, much tougher to know or understand what the cultural practices might have been, the general health & nutrition of the people, etc. Stone Tools & animal bones can only tell you so much unfortunately.
1:20 She said digging, she said digging. Get your mind out of the gutter you weirdo. You're not 8 years old any more, the word "dicking" isn't that funny anyway... Hehehe... But seriously now, another great video Cinzia, thanks!

I am a simple goblin. I see academic discussions of ancient death practices, I click.

Never clicked so fast! I learned a lot about diverse burial practices in Caitlin Doughty’s book From Here to Eternity.
I love that book!
I’m sat. I haven’t been on this channel in a while and IM HERE FOR AUTUMN

Yay! A new Lady of the Library right as im about to clean! Perfect timing! Lovely as always!
Thank you for this interesting episode!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I love what you do :) Every new video is as interesting as the one prior ! Thank you for your work !!
When Cinzia posts I watch💜
Since this is the lovely month of Halloween, I thought she was going to end with something macabre like, "the dead aren't alive, so keep eating." 😉
Seems like forever in-between your vids Cinzia, but always worth the wait! Another excellent production. I'm sooo glad to be a part of your coven my dear😊
Thanks for this fascinating video Cinzia!

Thank you so much for your support!
Love new Cinzia videos! Thank you!

I always find the idea of sky burial really sweet, like the deceased isn't left alone but in a big group resting place
Excellent video 😊
Thank you very much!

Spooky AND fascinating
Happiness and health to you too!
This is fascinating 😮
Thank you for this really interesting video and for sharing your sources as well Cinzia ^_^ and I wanted to say, those earrings are lovely ^_^
Love this!
The Star Cave findings are very, very controversial - the research is ongoing and it hadn’t been peer reviewed before publication
Tell me about it, the controversy around is was insane. I thought I'd share what has been a bit more accepted, but the full extent of everything is WILD
Awesome video❤❤❤
Good stuff as usual

"and remember ... don't eat your relatives' brains" 😅 great video, thank you

Bumping up the production value, i noticed. Well done. I never got your opinion on that email i sent. Keep up the great content.
I really enjoyed the video. Even so, I found the flashing lights when showing examples (e.g., 1:50, 2:10, 8:18, etc.) to be quite distracting.
hell yea
Didn't the queen of Halicarnassus consume wine containing the ashes of her husband (and brother), Mausolus whose name is ironically immortalized in the tomb that became one of the seven wonders of the ancient world? lol
why did i choose to watch this over dinner?
The joy of serving Humans, for Dinner.
Since the Christian Eucharist is ritualized cannibalism, does it also qualify as ritual endo-cannibalism?
This comment was purely made to boost engagement.
Many of the American practices are as interesting as they are varied.
The bog bodies from what is now Florida even have preserved the oldest physical evidence of human weaved cloth.
When Cincia posts, I click on the video, I click "like", and I leave a comment. That way, the algorithm knows that I like to see more of these videos.
😮
🤔 was there cooking and spices involved? So you cant cook then Kuru away? 😕 well that's a difficult meat to deal with.
It's very difficult for archeologists when the culture didn't intern their dead in some way. Cremation, sky burials, exposure etc doesn't leave a lot behind.

Very grimm indeed, 🤢🥺. The Road is not exactly a fun read.
