DNA is actually quite fragile and discovering ancient DNA is very dependent on specific conditions and even then incredibly difficult to find. I would think that the mummification process renders most of the tissue useless for dna. As someone else mentioned, the teeth are the best bet but highly unlikely considering when this was filmed. Only recently has fragmented dna been able to be tested (you need to use dna replication technique which is still quite new). Because testing destroys the sample, if the technology isn’t developed enough to confidently test, it’s best practice to save any limited and poor quality samples for a time when the technology is more likely to extract something meaningful.

How do you know he wasn’t a serial killer, despised by all, and ultimately caught and punished for his crimes? You seem to be assuming an awful lot, lol.

I'm always amazed at how much experts don't know once they're out of their area of expertise. Egyptologists seem to have agreed that those stone maces have to be ceremonial because of their small size. Anyone who has studied weapons could tell you with a glance that they are very serious and deadly weapons. Polynesian and Native American stone-headed war clubs typically have heads about the size of a baseball. If it's much bigger, it becomes unwieldy and you can't swing it as rapidly. Since force is equal to mass times the square of the velocity, there is a point of diminishing returns with regard to the size of an impact weapon. Even European medieval maces weren't as large as most people think despite the fact that they had to overcome armor.

His hair is not a wig; it’s natural.

The one thing they left out when looking at the wound was that tomb raiders often find tombs by jamming a rod into the ground to find the cavity, and more often then not they damage things in the tomb in the process. IE: the head looks like it was broken off after the mummy was found, not while the man was still living. i am no expert just interjecting my thoughts.

I am sorry, there is no sufficient evidence for any of their hypotheses. It could be that they are right, but a lot of other possibilities could be true as well. This is highly unscientific. I mean, scannning in an ancient macehead and comparing it to the wound? They did not even establish whether this really is a head wound, and that shape is likely to be the attacking weapon (if it was an attack at all) just as much as at least half a dozen other ones. So, speculation on speculation.

They were dead on about the quality of mummification. It varied on epoch and the status of the deceased. That was really Late Period. The Persians conquered Egypt in 525 BC. Few offenses in Ancient Egypt merited capital punishment but decapitation definitely took place.

Looking at the skin damage to the side of the head caused by the rope which is shown in a "pulled up fashion", I think this guy was on the end of a "short drop" certainly enough to break the vertebrae and move the head up & backwards from its normal position on top of the spinal/neck column.

WHY is this stuff so fascinating??

The head was given great care which indicates to me that he wasn't a criminal which precludes him being executed. The wounds to the face could have come from combat and slings throwing stones were a common weapon in that area. And there were chariots with racing horses that did have harnesses which would give strong leather ropes. My is that he took a stone to the face in a charge, he fell off to get entangled in the chariot's harness, and his body got snagged on a fixed object on the ground (a tree stump), then the head was ripped from the body. The body could have suffered massive wounds in the chariot charge to not have been distinguishable or may have not been recoverable due to the shifting tides of war. During the retreat back, they grabbed what they could and went.

Maybe the injury happened when the head was separated from the body, or not strangulation? Im probably wrong but just wondering?

I love the intensity of everyone’s concentration in this video ☺️

Chemicals and potions are pretty much the same thing

Maybe it was similar to someone beeing drawn and quartered. They instead put a rope around his neck and tied the other end to a horse. His body was tied town. The horse wpuld be forced to run and the force would pull his head and displace the vertebrae. Then the head would be pulled off which explains the roughness of the neck wound. It was torn off rather than cut off.

So is that his real hair or remnants from the wig he wore. If it's his real hair, then was he wearing a wig on top of his hair which left the bee's wax on it? In the act, you show that the person was bald as the wig was laid on his head.

I wonder if they gave any thought to suicide being the cause of death.

Joanne makes me cringe.

When were these documentaries about mummies aired?

The Egyptians very rarely performed capital punishments. But those rare occasions they did it was brutal as it was reserved for the greatest of crimes. The burning alive was reserved for blasphemy against Ra or attacks on his representative on Earth - the Pharaoh.
