A Collection Of Horrible Fates

[@EgoKillerPodcast]

I always feel so awkward when a new compilation drops because I'm very excited to hear about terrible deaths 😅

[@flash_flood_area]

I know! I caught myself saying "Oh, yay, horrible fates!!" 😬

[@ScaryInteresting]

Actually, I feel a bit awkward about the name of the series these days, too, haha. Originally, I just wanted a way to group together some interesting stories and "Fate" was a way to do it. It just so happens that many interesting stories involve someone's tragic end, so it's become known for that. In hindsight, I wish I had named it something else

[@thegriffin88]

Eh, can't exactly undo it. I prefer to study them, so that I don't make the same mistakes. One of the reasons I look both ways on a one way road. I'm looking out for the asshole going the wrong way.

[@al145]

The craziest thing about Otze the Iceman is that the people that found him were modern skiers or snowshoers or something, and thought they found a missing hiker. I mean they kinda did, just not from this millennium

[@sglazekkg6875]

Something similar happened when Everest climbers in 1999 found the body of George Mallory, half of the pair that may or may not have been the first westerners to summit Everest (they disappeared on the mountain over 100 years ago). They thought it was a climber from maybe 5-10 years ago that had fallen off a ridge, but then noticed it was wearing distinctly vintage clothing. Really really well preserved.

[@AlexanderAdams-q1v]

​@@sglazekkg6875Makes me wonder about a climber known as (I think) Green Boots. A more modern-day climber but identity unknown. We'll likely never know 'who' he was but as his remains have been left up there, the question will never not be interesting.

Interesting how little things seem to have changed, eh.

[@nexaentertainment2764]

Lol that's a good point. Tho I wonder what they would've called it/believed it to be back then? Since diseases and ailments were thought to be due to humeral theory or miasma. Honestly kinda curious if any historian wants to elucidate lol!

[@Pugetwitch]

​​@@nexaentertainment2764 I'm not sure if this tribe Otzy 😂 (that's the homie!) belonged to even knew about the four humors or anything like that. They likely had a shamanic view on illness (As in the illness came from something in the environment they need to take note and then respect accordingly, not an imbalance within themselves) It's really cool how the tattooing is a part of the medicine that they used.

@@Pugetwitch There is not a single chance that Ötzi or his tribe believed in humorism. They were about 3-4 thousands of years too early for that.

You really don’t get a feel for just how MASSIVE the volcano erruption was was until you’ve been to Pompeii and walked the city yourself. It is unreal how huge it is.

[@SimpleSaemple]

My theory about the 1800's group that died: They were either a group of merchants or explorers looking for new trade routes or similar, while the person in group C is a local guide who volunteered to show them the way. Then while travelling, they were hit by strong winds or avalanche and were killed

[@alexandreayoung7920]

That's what I was thinking too!

[@lizek3515]

Definitely agree that skeleton C was likely a guide

[@mommy2libras]

That may be true though it was said Group C was Southern India and the Himalayas are the northernmost area of India. In fact, this lake is kind of deep into it - well beyond the first line of peaks that line the edge of India. Someone from the south of India wouldn't likely be a very good guide or even have much mountaineering experience unless they were born to parents from the south of India that had moved to the north.

[@several_goblins]

Could they have been spreading religion? Especially by interfering with the religious route people were on when passing through that area, I just don't know enough about these areas and the time to know if they would've been 'missionaries'

I had heard of Otzi as a remarkable archeological find, but had never heard his story! I was in suspense and in awe that we know so much about him. Incredible stuff

[@thegriffin88]

The eruption of Vesuvius in Pompeii is actually one of the earliest recorded pieces of PTSD. In the first letter Pliny the Younger tried to draft to his uncle he was described as becoming 'hysterical' and 'beset by emotion'. I have anxiety, I know a panic attack when I see one. He had barely escaped on one of the ships running full sail from the port. All that death and destruction, like the world was ending. You get the same stories from any other person who's been in a scenario where their life has been threatened. You know, the real mystery is why whoever killed Otzi didn't loot his copper axe. That's like leaving a Rolex on the guy you just murdered. Crazy expensive material and useful. Why leave it? We'll never know.

[@crazywileycoyote]

The weird part about Ötzi is why did the other people following him wanted him dead so badly? Like you not gonna run over the mountains after one random guy. There must have been some importance to it. Someone really wanted him dead and didn't stop until he died. If it was just a normal local or internal conflict, they probably would just let 1 random guy escape

Could be there was a battle earlier, Otzi scored a kill and that guy's brother went after him.

That last one sounds like an expedition by the greeks who needed a south asian guide, or by a south asian adventurer who needed a crew and somehow got involved with a greek crew. They may have been interested in uncovering the legend, ironically becoming part of it themselves.

[@rubenkerobyan6891]

To me it sounds like the descendants of of hellenic bactrians and sogdians trying to escape being pawns in the great game.

[@mommy2libras]

But why would you want a south Asian guide for a journey that would be nothing like South Asia? Not the terrain, not the weather, very likely a completely different dialect, etc. It doesn't seem like they'd be much use. You'd want someone from the mountainous area. I wouldn't hire a guide from Texas to show me Maine.

'A collection of horrible fates' is my favourite series! Keep it up, I love listening to these stories. Actually, since they are so various, it kinda gives me an idea of what different dangers can occur in everyday situations so I even learn from them what kind of mistakes I should never commit.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

The mountain lakes leaves one other possibility: Group B might be from the greco-bactrian kingdom (one of the successor states of Alexander's empire, spanning over Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan) who took a local guide to get over the mountains. they were hellenic, which explains why greeks were in the area. They didn't come from greece, but form central asia. For why multiple groups ended up there, the area is dangerous, so they might've gotten there through a rock slide or avalanche.

[@space-junkie]

There was no Greco-Bactrian kingdom in the 1800s, which is when the second group is from, and even not in the 800s when they had ceased to exist as a kingdom for at least 500 years.

[@lyedavide]

The last story is truly fascinating and intriguing. It's a pity that the site has been disturbed so much that an accurate excavation and study is probably impossible. It would be wonderful to discover exactly who the people really were and what really led to their deaths at the lake. The second story is incredibly detailed. It's amazing how scientists were able to reconstruct the sequence of events that led to the poor man's demise. Thanks for a great episode!

[@JeffStephen]

[@seanmorrison6062]

The frozen lake story immediately made me think of the 'cold hole' natural phenomenon, as described in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJvdqGWMa9efftk I'm certainly not an archeologist, but my guess about these deaths is that both the 800s and 1800s group found the low, flat site near the lake to be an attractive camping site, only to be frozen to death in the middle of the night by absurdly low temperatures. I have nothing to prove this theory, but it does seem like a plausible explanation for how a large number of people could die simultaneously without any evidence of violence.

I first learned about the details of Ötzi belongings around 2010, and at the time, no one knew what the fungus balls were used for.

They apparently had better grip than most modern boots!

The first story reminded me of a scene form a movie I watched in highschool about Pompeii. The scene showed a couple of soldiers or gladiators taking shelter with some citizens as the initial debris from the explosion began raining down. The soldiers scoffed at the pebble sized debris coming down and stepped out into it in a show of bravado before one of them has their head caved in by a large stone falling form the sky.

I'd to study Otzi "the ice man" in University. It was a very interesting case and shows how advanced that archaeology has become. Pollen in his teeth showed he was born in or around where modern Rome is, his last meal was still preserved in his stomach when his body was found, all the relevant issues he was suffering from were identified, including some form of lead poisoning from working with copper and more. It did cause a dispute between Italian and Austrian authorities as to who the body belongs too, the body was found in Austria, but it was taken by the Italian police.

[@FHBStudio]

I thought the last one would've been 800 nearly unrelated skeletons of mountain travelers who met a horrible fate higher up the mountain, and ended up in the lake through ice and weather (since water collects at local minima). And so moving ice or slush or even snow and water could've moved the bodies or skeletons from higher up the mountain into the lake.

[@t_albino]

Hey Scary Interesting, a huge fan of your channel and really enjoyed this video in particular, bringing these archaeological mysteries of the past to new audiences! So, I'm of Indian background myself and I have a few ideas/theories about the third story, which could possibly shed some new light on it. In a nutshell, I don't think that second party were of Cretan or Mediterranean background, I think there were actually Indian... So, first off, India is a land of huge ethnic diversity and variation - contrary to what people may think about it. You have a huge range of skin tones, body shapes and sizes and genetic variations running from the North to the South. You also have lots of communities who developed in rural, more isolated areas and so, the genetic pool became smaller and more concentrated in these areas. I'll take my own background as an example... I'm from the Konkan Valley from my Mum's side. Like a lot of people from the area, I also have a fair/ lighter skin tone, fair eyes, different hair texture and facial build. My mum has even told me some of my great grandparents and ancestors had reddish/ginger hair! Because of the isolation of the area we come from, the same genes end up getting passed around a lot. As happens elsewhere in the world too. Second point, India has had a lot of interaction with the Mediterranean. Lots of Alexander the Great's soldiers settled down in India and married local women. There was thriving trade between Greece, Egypt and India. There were a group of Indo-Greek/Indo-Macedonian Kings who ruled at one point. The Emperor Ashoka the Great, one of the most respected Indian kings, had Macedonian blood In him... there are lots more examples. So, I'm convinced there are plenty of Indian people, even today, who share a lot of genetic similarities with peoples from the Mediterranean. So, sorry to burst the bubble, but I don't believe they were Cretan travellers....but Hindu Indian travellers/pilgrims who died while on pilgrimage in the area. The presence of the skeletons is intriguing... As per Hindu tradition, you cremate the bodies after death and the ashes scattered into a body of water. My guess is these pilgrims sadly died somewhere or somehow while on pilgrimage. Their bodies were moved to the lake, and because of the lack of materials or inability to do cremation, they were either buried in the lake or into the snow...Centuries later, the same procedure was carried out for the second party of travellers too. But...I could also be hugely wrong about this I'm willing to admit! It's an interesting perspective I thought I'd share. But I do really doubt the idea of a group of Cretan travellers doing a pilgrimage in Northern India c. 1800, the time of early British India! I think the remains should be subject to more testing to see if any new evidence comes to light. (Sorry for how monstrously long this comment was 🤣 Keep up the amazing work you're doing on the channel !)

The Roopkund Lake story: if there was a group of Greek people who left and never came back, is there any ducumentation on Crete about their disappearance? About 1800 is not that long ago. In Greece there are still houses in use from that time. There were church registers, deeds, widows who wanted their husbands been declared dead before marrying again, masses for the dead to be paid for... It would be cool to research there, starting at the churches' documents. Maybe that South Indian guy was a guide with parents from the south but grown up in the mountains, or a translater, or maybe an impostor (Gimme ya gold, I show ya de treasure.) I think they died of hunger and cold, because there were no signs of aggression.

[@ChingaChonga2]

Official head-canon for me is that this guy is a time traveler and the reason he has such good storytelling is because he’s been there and seen it himself.

[@Brad-Bester]

Literally the best series on KZbin

[@Theman-rl4uy]

You embellished the first story so hard … no way that much specific detail has been kept for 5000 years ….

[@crichardson3903]

Awesome video! I really enjoyed the archeological theme. More please!

The group-C guy was probably a guide for the group-B people. Wouldn't be the first time Greeks came to India (Alexander the Great, Bactria)

Death by pyroclastic flow has got to be so rough (unless you’re close to where it originated because then you just get literally vaporized)

[@rinanona2348]

I'm sorry but how did we figure out this detailed walk through of Otzi's last days?! Incredibly impressed with how far technology and science has brought us... I mean down to the number of men and all?!.. 🤯

[@soph4381]

I'm from Austria. When I was a teen, we went to South Tyrol and visited the Ötzi museum. Through a tiny window, you could view a white room where Ötzi was laid out on a table. Whenever someone walked up to that window, an announcement reminded them to be respectful as this was a human's last resting place. I'll never forget the reverent quiet in that room.

[@kelleymaxwell3875]

I'm glad some have respect for the dead...too bad others couldn't do that at that lake mentioned. Imagine it, people actually taking human bones and/or stacking them up in piles. (I'm not freaked out by human remains...I've had the honor of working with a cadaver in my anatomy & physiology classes in college, but the dead deserve to be left alone or at least respected.This is just morbid in my opinion. There's people out there who has someone's ulna or rib bone or a flipping pelvis who lived thousands of years ago....but go figure. People don't respect the living, so why would I expect them to respect the deceased?)

[@weemac4645]

Why respect the dead? I respect very few of the living.

[@Spewb]

​@@weemac4645Because of the very real possibility that dead person was at one point in time a living person you would have respected. If someone is just a reprehensible piece of shit I don't care what happens to them or their remains beyond their anthropological value - but if you *don't* know what they were like then it's better to just assume they weren't like that.
