Mummies in Indiana: Legends of a Lost World

Ever since Howard Carter unearthed the mummy of King Tut, in 1922, people have been mesmerized by the mummies and customs of ancient Egypt. But what if I told you, that numerous mummies have been found in rural Indiana, from the earliest settlers, to as late as 2015?

People have speculated that ancient Egyptians explored North America, in antiquity, and have provided many sources of proof. While many North American mummies and puzzling artifacts still exist, others have “disappeared”, despite very good documentation, photographs and thousands of witnesses.

This documentary explores the evidence, legends, and well-respected researchers of Indiana’s early archaeology. It will certainly make you question what we’ve been taught to believe, about our North American past!

I believe that the history of the world is being suppressed. But that’s how I feel. If you ever find anything never send it to the Smithsonian Institution.

I grew up in Southern Illinois, also known as, "Little Egypt." There are caves with Egyptian hieroglyphics that are all over Giant City Park and Shawnee National Forest. There is also an underground cave system that several Egyptian tomb statues and other artifacts were found in (but it sits on private property. Growing up there, my best friend (now my husband) and I would hike in certain caves and out crops looking for anything we could find. However, the town names in Southern Illinois always seemed odd to me. We gave cities named Thebes, Cairo, Karnak, Palestine, Dongola, Metropolis, Lebanon, and Sparta just to name a few. However, the most curious name connection between Southern Illinois and Egypt is found at Southern Illinois University and the There are many statues of this ancient Egyptian racing dog in both Cairo Egypt and in the British Museum in London, England. The breed was almost extinct if it weren't for SIU and their breeding program that has worked for years to ensure this animal survives. Several former college friends of mine are part of that program and have had one. They are very beautiful animals and having been around them for the past 45 years, are very easy to spot. I've always wanted someone to do a documentary on Southern Illinois and it's odd connection to Egypt. I've seen and read little blurps here there but nothing that was in depth enough to answer all our questions. It just seemed too unreal to me to be coincidental.

It sickens my heart to know that so much has been "lost" by authorities over the years. Distrust of government is a sign of good mental health, in my opinion.
Really enjoyed this video. From other comments here, Ill be looking into your channel for more. Godspeed.

[robinwebb]

Of course there were an ancient people. Civilization did not just begin with writing. There is so much about our past we don't know and understand. What I don't understand is how a group of people can decide for us, that we don't need to know about these things. Great storytelling, Roger 😊 This was fascinating and something about Indiana I didn't know.

In 1988, I was a high school student in Indianapolis. I had a substitute teacher named Judge Black. He was an IU archaeologist, that I had heard months later speak on the Bob and Tom radio show. He spoke about finding Egyptian artifacts in southeast Illinois.

[rindapelton]

Our history is not even close to what we have been taught! If enough people like your self keep bring this to attention history will have to change to the truth!!!
Thank you Roger!

[KAHOOSIER]

I’m from Southern Indiana so I have some bias obviously. But these programs that he creates on this channel are as good as anything you could watch on YouTube. Well done brother!

[stardust]

I think the moral of this story is shown repeatedly: never "alert the authorities" never "call a university" and for the love of GOD, NEVER, under any circumstances, contact the Smithsonian regarding any significant find. Do the photographing and documentation yourself and perhaps Hire, privately, an "expert".

[littgaia]

I believe there was a man named Herdlic in charge of the Smithsonian who did his best to destroy anything that hinted at being giant.

[Rebecca-dmco]

When I lived in northern Arizona about 25 years ago they were digging a pool for a resort and they dug up a metal axe head that was 6 ft. long. The Smithsonian confiscated it and then denied it ever existed.

[ScotReeder]

Very interesting. I've lived in Indiana my whole life. With the exception of 2 years in Tennessee in my 30's. I've heard the stories of mummies being found. There was an example of an Native American infant mummy in the Tipton County Courthouse in the late 70's. It was later said that it was not in fact a human. I've often wondered if that was not a cover up. I saw that mummy with much intrigue, with my own eyes.

[Kocher]

My family owned land right next to Indiana's Stonehenge. The stories that have been passed down claim that it was very eerie up there, and the family had found things they didn't understand. Supposedly still there where they found them.

I live in Vincennes now, and yes, they are still finding ancient burials. Had a few on Main St when they were repairing the road. The burial was found in front of the oldest funeral home in Indiana, Gardners.

Thank you very much !!!! Extremely enjoyable. Also, sounds like other versions of not trusting our governments. Keep going Roger, you are a bright star for us that love historical issues.

[discernment]

Your stories and research are better than anything I would find on cable television and I appreciate it so much. I grew up in Bedford, close to Tunnelton and haven't ever moved went too far away. Thank you for letting us enjoy your stories

[esoteric_Derek]

More, more, MORE!!

I am so fascinated by our distant past here in Hoosier land. There was so much more going on than someone might think just looking at our vast flat farmlands. One lifetime isn't enough to even scratch the surface here.

I long for the story yet to be uncovered.

Thank you for this tantalizing piece of the larger picture.

Should you ever need a "yes" man in any capacity, afield or otherwise, look no further! I want to help.

[rkmatt]

What’s written in history books will never mention anything that goes beyond what the government doesn’t want you to believe. Many other people have been here centuries before even the natives that we refer to now. I wish the museums would have just cataloged the finds but never remove from their locations. Great video Subscribed to your channel now

[gabehilliard]

I knew a man that had a piece of parchment rolled up and had ancient hebrew writing on it. He said he had dream and in it a being he said was a angel told him where to dig it up. He was very shaken by the whole experience. Sadly this was before the internet and no one local could read the text. He ended up taking it to the public library here in town, never to be seen again... This was in Bluffton IN. There is a very old cemetery here, he was told there was circular stone feature behind the cemetery and to dig right in the center of it. Pretty sure its still there. Thanks for your research and all that you do Roger! God Bless!

Look up Henrietta Mertz the author of "The Mystic Symbol". She was an attorney who collected stone, clay tablets from the Michigan area. She collected from farmers and people who disturbed the soil. She dealt with the Smithsonian hiding these relics as well. Her book is an account of her findings and the unbelievable history hiding that took place in the early/mid 1900's. Very much like what is documented here. The Book of Mormon describes a people who came to America from Jerusalem 400 BC. They're language was reformed Egyptian.

[MynewTennesseeHome]

I was born and raised in the Oolitic limestone belt of Indiana and have seen stone configurations I wondered about. Piles of stones scattered across a heavily wooded ridge. This is a very interesting video, thanks for sharing.

[jadedequeljoe]

I never knew any of this, and I am obsessed with alternative ancient history. I wonder if Graham Hancock knows about any of this? What a fantastic collection of astounding discoveries! Makes me want to go exploring, but I’m to old.
