I love this narrator’s voice. Noone’s is as good as hers. Hope she never quits.

I think that we as a modern people forget that ancient people were very intelligent and resourceful. We think that were so much more advanced because of our technology and everything that we have and that these ancient civilizations couldn’t have possibly been asintelligent as us. But by us solving these ancient mysteries, we see that that’s not the truth. These ancient civilizations were just as intelligent, and sometimes even more resourceful than modern civilizations are…

I did a history paper on Oztiand it was stolen right off the bulletin board in the classroom.

I was so proud of that paper; 22 years later, still no idea who took it - but I wouldn't be suprised if it was the girl who bullied me in 5th grade and a portion of 6th grade.

Did that dude step right on Otzi’s chest?

I'm so glad you went with that thumbnail. I so love looking at Otzi's mummified face over and over whenever I check my subscriptions.

King Richard III got his royal burial. But the Princes in the Tower aka the King he forced to give the crown and his little brother hasn't.

Yeah, the Hunchback King really is a villain til the end.

So when is Roman concrete replacing regular concrete? The roads and sidewalks here could use the updowngrade.

And that kids is how people can consider sick or deformed humans as an entirely different creature

Still didn’t explain what the Nazca lines were for.

[CandiceVidito]

I wonder how many more mysteries will be solved.

The Moai walked...that's what legend said and when people tried it they could indeed get them to walk by pulling on ropes.
