- Where did syphilis actually come from? An old theory suggests that indigenous people of South America may have given it to the first European colonists who followed Columbus, but is there another explanation?

There is a really high pitched whine (like when it comes from a tv) in many different parts of this video. I’m not sure if it’s my phone speakers that can’t handle whatever output it is, or if it’s actually there, but could you please have someone review the sound who can hear high pitches? Sorry to bother.
OK.. but... this is not on History Hit. Got the free trial last night and very disappointed that a lot of the content hasn't been brought over.

3000 BC. SYPHILIS ORIGINATED SOUTHWEST ASIA. .. THEN BROUGHT INTO EUROPE . THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE Columbus BROUGHT HIS. RASHEY. BURNER HOT DOG TO CARIBBEAN.

Exactlyyyyy what I was gna say!!
Yes, thank you for describing it so precisely
LMAOOOOOO
Nailed it.
I lived in Las Vegas in the early nineties. Had a neighbor who was an older guy with a younger wife and kids. Genius mechanic. Suddenly he began to act like he was losing his mind. He was doing strange stuff and would talk incoherently. No one knew what to think. His wife told me later that he had end stage syphilis traced back to when he was in Vietnam. By the time he'd gotten with her, he was no longer contagious so she and the kids didn't get it. Very scary to watch.
woah!!!!
Al Capone had this type of syphilis and it is surmised that part of his extreme violence before he was sent to prison was a result of the disease on his brain.
Yes ...many famous ppl in history were said to of been insane from syphilis..including the Royals
My Dad who was born in 1917 one of his uncles ran a brothel out of his home in Northern Michigan he told it once the story that his Uncle and another uncle " died from the syph"
Lots of disease are like that....
My mom was a nurse in the Royal Canadian Air Force in WWII. She told me the most distressing ward she worked on was the one with soldiers dying from syphilis when it infected their brains.
Not denying you, but I always though insanity, etc., only came on years later.

@@ddgamer1836 Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that has been around for centuries, but cases are increasing: In 2020, there were more than 130,000 new cases in the United States. After syphilis is contracted, it goes through four stages: primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. Tertiary syphilis is very serious and would occur 10-30 years after your infection began. In tertiary syphilis, the disease damages your internal organs and can result in death.
That's what they get, not having sex won't kill you!!

This is so eye opening & informative. A very shameful story I'd like to share; Last summer in 2022 I met a fella in his mid 40's, he was absolutely charming & such a gentleman at first, he told me he was 30 yrs old. He asked me to come stay with him after a few weeks of spending time together. I was liking him a lot. One night he bought drinks & literally forced himself on me. The next few days, I started noticing bump inflammations like a mosquito bite or bed bug bite. I brushed it off as some insect bite during the hot summer days... But I soon realized I got another inflaming bump... As I slept, I was scratching these bumps... After the 3rd bump on my arm, I started getting worried & nervous about what it was... I did question the scars on his buttocks but he informed me they were scars he described as "bed sores" cause he was always working on jewelry & sitting for so long. I believed him. I finally got him to take me to the hospital, cause now I have 3 inflamed bumps that were developing white pust. The Doctor informed me it was syphilis. I was devastated, ashamed & embarrassed 😔😞 they instantly gave me a shot of penicillin & antibiotic medication. I was so frustrated, upset & appalled how this guy wasn't being honest with me. I informed him the Doctors said I contracted syphilis! Again, he denied it was from him, so I ended that relationship. I'm still ashamed & embarrassed but I have nobody else to blame but myself. I'm greatly disappointed in the choices I made. A lesson learned the hard way. You cannot trust anyone.
I'm very suspicious of your story. You used the word "shameful". Then I read on. Why use the word shameful if he forced himself on you? That's not something a victim would say. I think what happened is you slept with the guy, didn't use protection, and thought everything was great, until you got the disease. And your so ashamed you laid up with some random guy, who also had the disease, you are pitching it as if he forced himself on you because, as you put it you feel "shame". That story makes more sense. And I bet you never pressed charges. If a man forces himself on my, I'm calling the law. Sorry I think your doing what so many me too woman do, lie.

Oh no! Please don't shame yourself that was definitely his fault and thinking that it was you will only leave you feeling less happy with yourself. I'm sorry that happened but nothing that happened was your fault
My sister worked in a home for the elderly in the 1960's. She told me that old ladies were dying from syphilis they got from their husbands and were too embarrassed to seek treatment.
My grandmother divorced her first husband because he came home to her wanting sex and she noticed that he had it. That was back around 1940 to 1945. I'm not sure what year. This was in the port of Los Angeles, California.
I've heard their STDs are bc they were being raped by the mail staff at the nursing homes.
Many lawsuits attest to that fact...
I wonder why?
That's really sad! If I were their doctor, I would have just treated them with antibiotics.

I know how you feel. I have fibromyalgia, and as I was sitting here, watching this, my lower back and hips are screaming with pain. I was thinking the same thing you were, that how awful their pain must have been. Especially when the narrator said, “ ....the laceration of the male organ” ughhhh, made me shutter 🤢
. It’s amazing and creepy as phuck how the syphilis bacteria can think “I’m not getting around these hosts, so I had better mutate into a sexual transmitted disorder in order to survive” 😖
I have ankylosing spondylitis and even dull bone aches are enough to change my entire day and mood. These people must have been in absolute agony.
I cannot imagine. I have RA from some issues with other things was going on . Blood is like engine oil to a car. Once that's dirty it can continue to affect anything. Without clean blood it seeps into the bones. But they aren't going to treat you because you know . They mostly men. Burned women at the stake.
This reminds me of the Tuskegee study that went on for 40 years that involved African American men. They didn’t get treatment even though penicillin was available to treat them. The study was to assess the long term effects of not treating the disease. This was horrible.
😥
😢😢😡😡😡😡
That's so awful. Those poor men :(
Iv heard about that! Human beings have done some pretty horrific things to each other 💔
And still no results
In school we are taught that syphillis was brought to America by early Europeans… not that the native gave it to the Europeans. It’s cited as one of the main reasons the native population declined so greatly and quickly… is it different in British textbooks?
I'm British and I was taught Europeans introduced many diseases to the new world, including syphilis.
That was actually smallpox your talking about.
No evidence Columbus brought it to the New World
Growing up in East Yorkshire and having spent the first half of my life in and around the city of Hull, this news comes as absolutely no surprise whatsoever.
For centuries, if not millennia, the term "leprosy" (or the equivalent) was used to refer to a number of diseases. Thus, its entirely possible that syphilis was lumped into this category.
This documentary is outdated and scientist have since long debunked it.
The lessions of those skeletons were revealed to not be syphillis related, and the smoking barrel is modern Phylogenetic studies that keep indicating that syphilis emerged in the Americas since Treponema spp. evolutionary rates are compatible with pre-Columbian times and no evidence for European strains prior to the syphilis pandemic there have been detected. There is just more evidence showing that it came from pre Columbia America when it boils down, and most scientists in the field have come to this conclusion. Yet this documentary still starts by saying "the true story of syphillis" lol..

I did a paper on syphilis for a college class back in 1979. As I recall, the sources I used couldn't pinpoint the place of origen for the disease. However, it did say that everybody blamed everyone else for it. I suspect that the practice of slavery also served to spread it. Conquered people were often sold at the block in many ports. There were places where a man was allowed multiple women as a norm in society. I don't recall Native Americans being named as the only source.
thank you for being informative here. I figured where it came from couldn't be pinpointed. Sometimes people want to know what they cannot know so they do assume...The whole understanding of the historical facts on here are seeming not facts though they sound confident.

@33:30 George embodies the saying "When you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail." He can't see outside his own perspective.
George's own work goes to Hell if it were true syphilis didn't start w the Native Americans. Of course he's gonna say no until he's 99.
He is not an academic in the true sense of the word, but more of an arrogant person.
One can only cringe at the pain for the syphilitic person from inflammation, infection, swelling, erosion of bone, nerve damage, etc. And though the organs have disappeared and all we have left is ravaged bone, all the organs, the nervous system and the circulatory system must have been riddled with painful lesions. It really was a horrible disease.
It still is in many places around the world unfortunately.
Not WAS but is STILL a horrible disease to get. There were over 100,000 cases of all stages reported only 2 years ago so goodness knows what it is now. Sure not much better. It’s just not in our faces that much because it’s curable and I’m sure is caught long before it’s gets to the point where its causing visible trauma. I’d hope they’d have figured out a viable treatment otherwise Tuskegee and whatever other involuntary experiments would be in vain.
Why suggest the friars were un-celibate and corrupt? The friars sold grave plots and cared for the sick. The skeletons with signs of syphilis don't prove they were friars.
@@juliemarkham4332 if you hear the story about the friars- they sold grace plots, yes. Certain areas cost more, because they supposedly brought a person closer to God… even though scripture (even from those days) spoke otherwise. Those friars were capitalists, folk who saw the money that could be made. Its not an out of this world hypothesis to say they weren’t celibate either. Corruption takes many- and often varied- forms.
@@juliemarkham4332 Did I suggest that?
She said she was looking at a skeleton of a male aged 25 to 35 and then at around the 27-minute mark says bone lesions don't show up for up to 50 years. If that is the case, the person whose skeleton she is examining would most likely have been born with it. This does not indicate Friar shagging.
That's what I was thinking. That or he was already sick with some other disease that allowed syphilis to progress very quickly. Also carbon dating the wood on the coffin wouldn't tell us the whole truth as it would only tell us the age of the tree that was used, not the coffin itself.
When I first started my nursing career, one of my patients was a man in his 60's with syphilis. So sad. He had gotten it years ago.
In the mid 70.s I was a Lab Tech at a large Clinic in Vegas. It was SOP to test all the new female pts, over 60 for Syphilis. The returning Vets sometimes brought home more than themselves. We did this quietly as you can imagine.
sad for the women :(
When I was on Active duty every time we arrived at a new duty station we were given a class by the community health nurse, who would show us a video on STDs, graphic pictures and explained to us that if we were to ever go to South Korea to be careful because there's something called Black Syphilis. If a service member contracted Black Syphilis they were not allowed to come back to the states??? Some soldiers who had been overseas confirmed it also, we used to hear stories from others that at the brothels black salt was put outside the steps of it signifying that I guess someone there had it???
My uncle got it in Korea. He came back to the States..

What a sad disease. Can you imagine the suffering. No one deserves this. What about the innocent wife that gets it from her husband then gives it to her children. Innocents suffering. Heartbreaking.
The 40 year Tuskegee study should give you an idea of how the untreated disease affected families through maternal-neonatal transmission.
Or a husband getting it from his unfaithful wife who already gave it to her kids.
Like the cruel experiment that was run for years on black men in Tuskegee that had syphilis and were never treated.

When I was about 19 in 1969 I had my first apartment in a subdivided out house. One of the other renters had gone insane had had not taken his garbage out for a very long time. He saved frozen orange juice can, and cereal boxes. One day he tried to burn it up in his sink. Found out that the guy had Syphilis and had never gotten it treated. Insanity is one of the affects of having the disease. Back in the 1960 when free love was becoming the next big thing, all those diseases had a resurgence. AIDS didn't start until 1980.

So George would have to admit all his work and expertise was wrong and he isn’t ready to except that! If you have a group of people with the symptoms and those people were buried 100 years prior well that’s all you need. A man who can’t admit he was wrong is not only common but irrelevant. And being proven wrong by a women may also play a part I his denial. I love it!
Guys like that George are the exact reason why it takes forever for mysteries like this to be solved-he’s unwilling to humor any evidence that doesn’t directly confirm his own preconceived ideas
In an atmosphere of political correctness one needs to be careful of political fads. A considerable body of new evidence needs to be built up before you successfully challenge old theories.
@@lelandsmith2320 he's been featured in other media as well, after archaeologists found syphilis-sign skeletal remains of the CLASSICAL (Greco-Roman and onward era) period, as just doggedly not believing the evidence. (If I recall correctly. First time seeing this, I was struck by how much of a stubborn, racist know-it-all he seemed and dug deeper.) Kneebone7007 has an excellent point. Historically valid. There are ALWAYS men like this who become obsessively convinced they are right and everyone else is wrong and *beep* all could ever convince them otherwise.
The way that he was reacting to the new evidence and even the woman presenting it was so wanky. Surely as a man of science he would be excited and intrigued and not feel the need to protect his pride because changing your views when you have new information is part of the scientific process! I understand that more evidence is required to back a new theory, but his near religious faith when it comes to the Columbus theory was very messy to watch. Definitely said a lot to me about the nature of UK vs US education and academia; as an Australian who has been in the US most of my adult life, I'm not at all surprised. At least he made himself look rigid and lacking in scientific curiosity and noone had to do it for him 🤷🏻♀️

As a former STD clinic nurse I was taught that the initial sore is painess with clearly demarcated borders- sort of the way a deep cigarette burn would look. If a partner, or even the friars who cared for the ill, touched the lesion they would become infected. "You touch it, you own it" . Oral sex can cause the primary lesion to apear on the face.
Also diseases change over time. The pubic lice developed from other lice because it survived better as humans became cleaner, and covered genitals were a lovely home for them.

I wonder if the syphilis wasn't transmitted through the repeated use of flails and whipping sticks. A contaminated object is capable of carrying it from one person to another.
Good point!
I think it was. But the whipping was and still is a taboo. It should have been researched for this episode of the programme. Anyone who has the time for it, can make that update.
That's a really good point and sounds totally plausible. I think you just solved the mystery.
I wondered that too. Maybe they weren't doing naughty things just didn't know how diseases spread. Also I thought about how they said the did charity work maybe there were ppl so bad off and they took them on to take care of.
Same thought!! And would children survive from parents with syphilis?
My dad had a book about the disease syphilis and it had a bunch of colorful pictures showing men with different stages of the disease 🦠. It was enough to tell me to keep my pants on and now at 71 years old I’ve had a disease free life. And know it won’t be something like this that will end my life.
Praise the Lord.
Damn, I've worked in the laboratory field and it was protocol to wear gloves at all times, plus face shields when dealing with specimens. Urine, blood, etc.
What they neither described or showed was "Gummitus". This is when advanced Syphilis begins dissolving the soft tissues of your body, I've seen cases of this where the sufferers literally had their nose eaten away, their lips gone, and fingers falling off. I've been told that by that time, a good deal of your nerves are gone so that you don't actually feel it anymore.
We had to learn all of this in the medical corps of the military as part of our overseas training, and even in these days you can still find advanced cases of Syphilis here in the U.S.
Sounds like it could easily have been confused with leprosy, and may well have been diagnosed as such.
@@TheFirstManticore I thought the same thing too!
Numbers are increasing in the US, again, too. Scarier still are the congenity syphilis rates. Thanks for sharing. I had never heard "gummitus"
@@dierdriu The rates of Syphilis infections are increasing along with Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Herpes Simplex II, Hepatitis C, and other STD's due to the rampant increase in casual, unprotected sex, AIDS cases are also on a glaringly perceptible climb, and the major fears of the CDC are the likelihood of viral mutation & antibiotic-resistant strains.
Teenagers & young adults here in America are playing a game of "Polish Roulette", (5 loaded chambers with 1 empty chamber), with both their bodies & lives, they seem to be under the delusional thinking that, "Oh, that can't possibly happen to me."
They all seem to wear the horrifying numbers of both the numbers of sexual encounters & the numbers of multiple partners as though it's something to be proud of, and they aren't protecting themselves in even any basic way, especially abandoning the use of condoms. They all ignore the plain simple fact that there are STD's out there that once you've contracted them, you can't get rid of them, and several different infections are not only fatal, but extremely & agonizingly painful.
This is just one of the reasons why I became voluntarily celibate 12 years ago when i was in my late 40's, the loss of my life in trade for a couple of hours of physical pleasure just wasn't worth it anymore. "F*cking someone to death" has taken on a whole new meaning, it's become a horribly assured outcome, and I still have lots of enjoyable things that I want to do.

Unfortunately, there a great number of historians and scientists who are like that. They are full of self importance and self righteousness. I’d have loved to have seen the look on his face when it was proven that Syphilis existed in Western Europe and Asia long before Columbus went to the new world.
Reeks of ethnocenrism.
The earliest case of syphilis was found in a pair of twin children buried in a warehouse in Herculaneum. Ancient Rome had this plague.
I was just about to comment this, but yeah, there are older cases of syphilis in Europe then the 1300's ad.
I suspected so. This filth is straight from Rome. Genoa,as well.

It is preposterous to think that syphilis developed first in a vast continent with a scarce population then transferred into filthy over populated medieval town centers which were already riddled with numerous other deceases.Of course it was the other way round!
Agreed!
North Americs did have large population centers. Cahokia in it's prime was larger than London.
It's equally preposterous to think that native populations were free of any sort of disease that could be transferred.
" Of course" you say. Based on what ? Nothing.
No. Even sparsely populated areas have diseases. Just less.
I'm from Peru 🇵🇪. The heart of the INKA EMPIRE!! Our history teaches us that the EUROPEAN CONQUERERS brought to the "NEW WORLD: all the deceases known and ravaged EUROPE. These deceases killed the aboriginers of North, Central America as well as in the South where the richest EMPIRE existed. The TAWNTINSUYO - INKA EMPIRE.
it wasn't the other way around :(
I'm with you. The Europeans were the ones who brought all the diseases to our countries and killed many indigenous people. What makes me more mad is telling people that the dirty indigenous women were the ones who gave Syphilis to the Europeans people. Ridiculous!

Fell asleep watching something else and woke up to this after having a Syphilis nightmare.
I believe that this contagious disease has been going on for centuries, people hid from others in the village, not really knowing what it was, are whom to talk it over with, until doctors finally diagnose it, and gave it a name based on its progression, and how it affected the human body, during those stages. What a horrifying thing to go through. I can't even imagine the suffering of people went through who had it.
I think it's possible that it already existed in Europe, but in a far less lethal form and that Columbus could have possibly carried it along with his men to the Americas, but then when it got there it underwent a massive mutation and then as a result Columbus brought back a far more lethal version of it than what was already in Europe at the time
Some one fucked a goat and got it the just spreded it
Believe it been around for centuries as well. It possable they hid it from others in villages.
Lesions from leprosy, syphilis, HIV. Hmmm, makes you think.
@@LotusStitchandSketch Opposite. Look towards the end of the video... The Native Americans are the ones who had some immunity against the Lighter version of it, the mere skin version. It sounds like Columbus is the one who brought a far more lethal version to the Native "Indians" instead, killing off a large population with all the diseases they brought, Syphillis included.
Interesting video. Regardless of where it came from, someone had it first and someone gave it to the population in the Americas or they gave it to the rest of the world. It causes me to wonder if it can be genetically identified. I think dispersion is closely related to water travel and that is the key to widespread dispersion. With its discovery in Holland, that tells me it might have come across Berengia with the original settlers or later native populations. I doubts that's the case because it would have wiped out the original population to begin with. I'm left with two conclusions, the Vikings could have brought it to North America and Britain or other seafaring travelers brought it by water. If it could be genetically identified you could tell who that was. I opt for Asian traders coming up the coast and into the Americas sometime after the population had grown sustainable. Those same trading routes still exist today as they did thousands of years ago. All it would have taken is one ship or one traveler.
But blaming anyone but white people is racist....
Play this soundtrack for your teenage kids and you can rest assured they'll protect themselves.....
I cannot imagine the pain they were in. Secondary Syphilis causes a temporary skin rash of the hands, feet and mouth that is quite contageous, so the friars may have been infected via sweaty palms of someone who sought help. People did not wash their hands in the 1300's. They did not have to engage in sexual contact-all it takes is for an individual to be in the secondary phase-where the infection has eaten its way to the skin. In latent stages, it colonizes bone where there are no immune cells and burrows through their victim's deep tissues.
Soap and washing of ones skin was very prevalent back in medieval times, despite what mainstream says.
Not to mention this documentary has long been debunked by scientists, yet somehow keeps getting passed around.
The lessions of those skeletons were revealed to not be syphillis related, and the smoking barrel is modern Phylogenetic studies that keep indicating that syphilis emerged in the Americas since Treponema spp. evolutionary rates are compatible with pre-Columbian times and no evidence for European strains prior to the syphilis pandemic there have been detected. There is just more evidence showing that it came from pre Columbia America when it boils down, and most scientists in the field have come to this conclusion. Yet this documentary still starts by saying "the true story of syphillis" lol..
I mean they literally just mapped the syphillis genome a few years ago showing that it's just impossible and should be a nail in the coffin.
And child skeletons with syphillis? Hmm, funny cuz it takes decades in an adult before this even occurs. You can look all this up for yourself, I tried to link info for you but it wouldn't let me cuz of youtube policies these days.

But you have to admit that it gives you a sense of what it must be like to suffer from full-blown syphilis. There's a guy who composed music/audio to give people a an understanding or sense of what it's like to suffer through the various stages of dementia as your mind slowly loses it's ability to process the world around you. I personally found it both insightful, frightening & heartbreaking. It's amazing how much information or emotions music can convey without a single word. If you're interested it's called: The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time - Stages 1-6. It's over 6 hours long but, you can skip through to the main parts to get the sense of what's being expressed. It gave me a new found understanding & empathy for dementia sufferers. See it here:

I think it's important to take the context of the Colobus theory into consideration. No European country wanted to admit that it originated there, so it was easy to blame the Native Americans since they were seen as savages and beneath their colonizers. I think the mutation theory makes the most sense and it existed in different strains on both continents.
The mutation theory is just that a theory.
The oldest treponemal disease is Yaws, which is endemic to hot wet tropical countries at present and is spread non-venereally. The skin lesions (frambesia) are disfiguring and the throat is also affected. Tertiary lesions in bone are rarer. It has been found in Homo erectus skeletons from Kenya dating back to 1.6 million years ago. European and Middle Eastern syphilis may have mutated from African Yaws.
Bejel and Pinta are other non-venereal diseases caused by versions of Treponema pallidum, the latter in Central & South America. Columbus's sailors could have picked that up and, as adults, lacked immunity.
Sibbens was a non-venereal form of syphilis found among Scottish children in the 18th century: it could have spread to them from an adult with venereal syphilis.
@@mrcooper7027 True, but that doesn't mean the theory is wrong. It's merely lacking the evidence as of YET to prove it. Scientific theories and the way we use the word "theory" in the everyday sense are slightly different (as an example, the "theory" of gravity. We know gravity exists, and it explains a lot of things in the universe, but there are also some things it can't explain or there are things that defy gravity). Besides, op only said they felt it made the most sense, not that they were definitively saying it was the correct answer.
@@mrcooper7027 so Is the Columbus theory. Works both ways. I’ll go with what makes more sense.
Exactly 💯
Chaucer wrote "The Canterbury Tales" between 1387 and 1400 having 2 characters with indication of a sexually transmitted disease, possibly syphilis. They were, the Summoner and the Pardoner. So, I would say, it was well known that the Native did not give the explorers this disease, but it was the other way around.
It is well known I only remember being told that The aristocracy of Europe was constantly looking for someone to blame for syphilis. When it was endemic to the area the whole time.

I’ve often wondered if the idea that Syphilis came from the New World wasn’t for some reason? My question, after observing some of the epidemiology of this disease, is if Europeans brought it to the New World? Introduced into a population with no resistance, a much more virulent form may have mutated in the New World and been brought back to Europe - by sailors who may not have been alarmed by a disease that they thought was less debilitating. This would explain a lot of the conflicting facts.

Lyme disease is a cousin of syphilis. I'm sure they are different in many ways. I was diagnosed 2 years after symptoms. I've been treated with 29 to 30 antibiotics. I'm better but have never gotten rid of the fatigue and brain fog. I'm now diagnosed with CFS/ME. Early treatment is probably key. I'm just a layman, so just my opinions.
I think it’s important to note that while evidence often points to new theories of many things, archaeologists and anthropologists often spend their whole lives and careers believing, writing about, and becoming experts in certain fields of studies and theories. When someone comes along that blows their whole life, basically, to bits, it’s hard for them to let go of what they have believed and touted for so many years.

Ego intervenes in EVERY profession. Humans are egotistical creatures. However, generalizing that ego prevents a professional historian in any form from properly delving into it all using context clues and second- and third-hand resources to the degree that their theories are essentially ego-driven isn't fair.
