When you go into an examination with pre-conceived notions and infect your team with them, it biases the investigation. I get they were trying for the drama here, but the producers trying to sensationalize things results in skeptical results.

I once watch a video about a meal of nobility around the time sea-faring was popular (around the time Europeans came to our islands) and I can see almost 70% of the spices can be found easily in our tropical islands. the host says only the head of the servants and the lady of the house has a lock of the chest which contains the spices because of how expensive those spices are. hence the war and slaving native people here. so, of course historians are amazed that the mummy embalmed by three different substance which has ingredients from another part of the continent. especially when they say the mummy predate the "cloud man", which means older civilization with older way of life. it's not easy to get those things. God knows how they work around the price, but I'd imagine exporting goods across Pacific oceans or across the jungle would be a quite the feat. have you think of that? their mode of transportation couldn't be that good either to ensure a lot of goods can be available.

I would think that was a reason for a civilization to develop a method like trepan. I also wouldn’t think it’s likely for people to preserve an enemy, wouldn’t they just have left him to rot on his own.

Brian Forester has many of these elongated skulls ..the skulls have a larger brain casing which cradle board head binding cannot achieve. More mainstream scientists should study these skulls further.

The tribe still practicing head binding in Africa doesn't use a cradleboard, they wrap the skull with fabric strips.

Exactly how long does a body need to be in the ground so people can dig it up and not just be grave robbers?

I always wonder about migraines in these ancient times. Even today we barely understand them, but more so then back then. Someone that suffered from migraines regularly might have been treated with that type of surgery.

I live near Burnley museum, iv been many many times, this mummy has never been on display?

24:00 that whole logic is flawed with the mummy being about to her armpit and she has bigger body than the mummy. They needed a slender 5 foot man to do this, but due to her physical differences she was a horrible test. This is stupidly flawed and needed more consideration to due.

One of the better, more informative episodes.

29:42 is anyone else getting Lord of the Flies vibes?

How do you think the incas carried the body to those places? They must have been carried by one man like a pack on his back. That's whats the ropes for.

Those scanner images are just exquisite.

I like Joanna Fletcher, I hope that she continues her anthropology because she cares and has much to offer science.❤ A good person to be admired.

Hello Dr. Fletcher!! You’re my favorite historian!!! You rock!!

As a french Canadian Potowatomi, Scottish Canadian, part Trepanier, I found this and I was stunned. Because I knew that my family was connected to the Trepanier family. The Trepanning cult. I could know that my own family may have been that culture, to have trepanning people. Because my own family has had that actual name, Trepanier, which means trepanning.

When an individual comes across strong facts and evidence that destroys the narrative ever present being pushed upon us so-called plebs, one tends to not always have a 'negative' response (whatever that term means?rather disagreement I would say) however, gets somewhat weary after having to push back against the usual narrative of 'they are just elongated skulls'. Does anyone enjoy being lied to when they are in possession of the truth via very strong facts, you as many most likely don't i would pressume, please just research 'Brien Forester' he will clearly point out the vast difference between a human skull to other variants, the journey is yours, are you gonna take the red pill.

They rotted. Thats why this was not an embalming, it is just traces of nicotine from sitting in smokey huts with friends.

important to note that most ancient skulls found with treppanning wounds show signs of healing! this was a spiritual and medical practice that was successful and relatively safe! it's also still a medical practice today, it's used to make brain procedures as non-invasive as possible!

The slingshot experiment was just embarrassing to watch smh
