The fact his body and now skeleton was and are used for the very practice he contributed to is poetic justice 😂

Another anatomy lecture theatre you can see is still being used by pre clinical medical students to this day in the University of Edinburgh's Anatomy building (the anatomy lecture theatre). Once you've been there you'll actually recognise it in quite a few films and TV shows as there aren't many of those places left in the world! As a bonus you can also meet Burk referred to in your video. After his excecution his body was given to the medical school and his skeleton is in the anatomy resource centre in the same building as the anatomy lecture theatre in a display cabinet to this day! His Skeleton is NOT in surgeons hal unless it has been moved very recently from the resource centre. But Burk's skin is in surgeons hall (which is probably why you thought the skeleton was there when researching the video) his skin was turned into leather and they have several anatomy textbooks bound in leather from Burk's skin and a wallet made with leather from his face if memory serves...

Terry Pratchett was undoubtedly aware of this: "Shortly before the Patrician came to power there was a terrible plague of rats. The city council countered it by offering twenty pence for every rat tail. This did, for a week or two, reduce the number of rats-and then people were suddenly queueing up with tails, the city treasury was being drained, and no one seemed to be doing much work. And there still seemed to be a lot of rats around. Lord Vetinari had listened carefully while the problem was explained, and had solved the thing with one memorable phrase which said a lot about him, about the folly of bounty offers, and about the natural instinct of Ankh-Morporkians in any situation involving money: “Tax the rat farms.”"

The 'Let the bodies hit the floor' has taken a whole new meaning.

Steampunk kid says: “I wish I lived in Victorian England” So we sent him back in time. After entering the tavern he’d dreamt of, he was knocked on the head and sold to the navy where he was forced into govt sanctioned slavery. Not sure what happened after that. Either he spent all his meagre “wages” from the navy by renting a room for a week and ended up in the poorhouse where he died of starvation because he had no family to bring him food, or perhaps got cholera from drinking poop tainted water, or might have been killed for his body to be sold. We do know that eventually a medical student cut up his corpse and took notes.

In my experience, Steampunks are very clear on the horrors and social injustice of that age which they do not want to replicate in their alternate past. :-) Apparently there IS a steampunk side-culture that insists "Steampunk must be set in Victorian London and dwell entirely on class-stuggle, and anything else isn't Steampunk". They tend to be left fuming in the wake of the majority who are just having a great time being splendid to each other, and would not entertain racist or collonial attiudes. Except to Martians.

I discovered a few channels over the last year that really helped with my depression and anxiety. Due to a health issue, I've basically been housebound since last March, and the pandemic has certainly done my mental health no favours. With very few options to pass the time, I've been watching a lot of YT, and it's been a literal lifesaver. Aside from older channels like this one, I've found some channels that their creators started simply for something to do during lockdown, and they've become incredibly popular. For instance, Tasting History With Max Miller...after only one year, he's been able to make his channel his full-time job, he's done some very interesting collaborations, and he's currently writing a cookbook. Not bad for something that started out as a hobby to pass the time. I think that there are a lot of people who don't give YT content creators enough credit. They think it's all music videos, prank channels, and teenaged vloggers. I've introduced quite a few people to YT, and they're surprised how many channels are making high quality, well researched, well presented videos on topics like history, general science, physics, math, astronomy, music history (Professor of Rock is a must watch channel for any classic rock music fan), and true crime.

My grandmother had a bible with a lot of blank pages where genealogical information and notes were written. It mentions one ancestor who was supposedly buried "in three fathoms of earth" to protect against body snatchers. I think that means sixteen feet deep? Enough, I suppose, to make sure that someone else would be easier to dig up. I don't know how much that burial cost.

If corpses was so valuable in previous centuries you can imagine how much more valuable are organs today and how many crimes are committed daily for such far more profitable trade

I shouldn’t judge, but I really don’t understand the fear of being dissected after death. Chop me up fam, use whatever you can and the rest pop it into a modest green burial. It’s just my meat that’s left behind.

@@mothmaru remember that people often couldn't read the bible themselves and even the versions they had told to them could be very different from the versions we have today. Maybe they were taught that you got back the body you'd left behind when you were buried. The belief that you needed a whole body for resurrection was a very old one.

Hey bud, I need a place to stay, the wife kicked me out...

About ten years ago, a friend who worked in a lab at a medical school sent me a photo of a sign she had put up in the lab. It said "Please tidy your cadaver before leaving". I printed that out and stuck it on the fridge, which confused the hell out of the kids.

It more true of organs but then again tou do have so many legitimate donations of bodies and organs live donations and postmortem. Hey it's a great argument for the use of stem cells because the things you can make would almost put organ donation to a bare minimum but we do still need to study corpses unfortunately. There are fully donated forensic corpse farms where they study dead bodies know various exposed elements to record the differential in decomp. Pretty cool huh?

Maria Grace that is pretty fascinating, the history or medicine is pretty fascinating in general but stuff like this? I’ve never given too much thought about cadavers and how we have donor systems set up until today

A coffin maker once told me that the shape of a coffin was developed because of body snatchers. Originally they used to dig only at the feet end of the grave, break away the end of the casket and pull the body out by the feet. So the coffin was designed to make this almost impossible because it fits the shape if the body more closely and the shoulders and crossed arms get stuck. In the end of course, it just meant that the grave robbers had to work a little harder.

Another very well done piece! Cheers!

They removed the headstones, but didn't move the bodies.

2:07 "Because the game is full of subtle references to sci-fi classics such as Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-" A little reference to the reference in this channel's name, referenception

As the usual technique was to break through only at the head end and drag the body out that way, metal collars attaching corpse to the coffin were used. Lessw showy than the cage but still effective as made it easier to go to another body

Loved your video as always , I recommend checking out the BBC`s coverage of the HS2 digs at St James` and in Birmingham . In St James` they found over 50 burials that had been vivisected including one missing its spinal column , hands and feet several trepannings and curiously , several where the skull had been trepanned and the brain subsequently replaced with some sort of an object , even a sherry glass . Sometimes the entirely missing head / leg or whatever was replaced with a brick or a rock which has to imply that the bodies were "got at" BEFORE they were buried . Apparently the robbers only exposed the top part of the coffin and removed the corpse by putting a rope under the shoulders and simply hauling it out . This led to one burial where the corpse had an iron collar bolted over the corpses neck , several with iron straps around the outside of the coffin , at least one like "your" iron coffin and many other types .

The best film treatment of the Burke and Hare story remains the 1960 horror film "The Flesh and The Fiends", directed by John Gilling and starring Peter Cushing as Doctor Knox, the doctor who paid Burke and Hare to steal bodies. In the film Knox was a doctor who was determined to advance his medical science but had a bit of a blind eye to the Burke and Hare antics. He eventually realises his mistake after a chance encounter with a young boy. The film even had extra footage shot for its European release prints, which had nude scenes with topless streetwalkers. The rumours of this "Continental Version" proved to entice British viewers to go to cinemas at the time but they didn't get to see THAT version as it wasn't available in the UK then. The American DVD from Image Entertainment, released all the way back in 2001 had both the UK and Continental prints, both in near-pristine condition. An interesting fact is that the film was shot in 2.55 ratio, the original widescreen ratio.
