The Bizarre Tomb of Capt. Hook....and Der Struwwelpeter.

[@monsterglo]

I enjoy Ron using the drone, I pretend I am in the plane approaching and having a soft landing, now unbuckle, climb out walking with Ron 🤗

[@comet1227]

Der Struwwelpeter! I love that book. Anything they can scare the hell out of children and get them to not play with matches it's OK in my book.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

lol, love that

[@boblatzer]

Remember Max und Moritz?

[@RuthShelton-ou4id]

​@@FacesoftheForgotten The man that invented safety matches worked hard at doing so because his child was badly burned (may have died, I don't remember) while messing with matches.

@boblatzer I have the book Max und Moritz written by Wilhem Busch at home. A treasured part of my book collection.

[@hilde1945]

I had that book as a child , I was from Germany in Wiesbaden , came with my parents at 12 in 1957, boy that brought back memories , thanks

[@judyclark5736]

How interesting. That is a bizarre crypt. Looks like the ship left without him. Thanks for another great story.

[@Backteufelchen]

I‘m from germany and i know Struwwelpeter very well. As a Child i loved this book. Today, i Must say, sometimes a little bit creepy. Horror, the Story with the Schneider and the „Daumenlutscher“. This Book is a Memory of our childhood and a Reminder of Wilhelm Bush. The german Fairy Tales of that time, specially Brothers Grimm, was sometimes horrific in the Original Version. Thank you.

[@BeatBay771]

I had that book..one story per night was read by my father..it never scared me but it left me in awe..so many memories..thank you

Beautiful drone footage and intro music, intriguing tomb. My man this episode had it all ! Thank you Ron and Dustin for such a lovely outing. On the subject of german "children's" stories..... I had the unedited Grimms brothers as a child ( inherited from my grandfather). Lots of "dashed out his brains"etc. My favourite was ' The Boy Who Couldn't Shudder"😮

Thanks Dustin and Ron❤ Loved the music❤ Great story❤ Have to look up the book and video in the description ❤ weird video😂

[@Herr_Knobi]

10:17 I translate ☺️ The story of the wild hunter The wild huntsman put on his new grass-green coat, took his knapsack, powder horn and flint and ran quickly out into the field. He wore his glasses on his nose and wanted to shoot the rabbit dead. The bunny sits in the leaf house and laughs at the wild hunter. Now the sun was shining too brightly, and his gun was too heavy for him. He lay down in the green grass; the little hare saw all of this. And when the hunter was snoring and sleeping, the hare ran secretly to him and took the gun and the glasses and crept away quite quietly and silently.

I grew up with the book Struwwelpeter; my grandmother used to read it to me often by request as a child (I am almost 70 now). Properly pronounced: Stroo-vel -payhter in German. I managed to find the English version as well and passed on the stories to my grandchildren also. They enjoyed the funny stories so much that I had to read the book to them every time they visited by request. They used to laugh at the stories, especially when I read it to them in a dramatic voice! The book was written in the 1700s as a book of lessons of good behavior illustrating what happens to naughty children who don't listen to their parents or have indulgent parents that raise undisciplined children. That is why the characters are dressed in such odd period clothing. Back then, and up to almost recent years it was customary for parents and grandparents to tell scary stories to their children in order to elicit obedient behavior. Probably considered not appropriate now. Struwwelpeter means ungroomed, ratty-tatty haired boy. The illustrator wanted to show (shock) children what they would look like if they resisted having their hair washed, cut or combed and refusing to allow their nails to be trimmed. The other stories illustrated typical naughty behavior of children and the consequences of their behaviors if not corrected. This book has withstood the test of time and is still popular in Germany. Interestingly enough I bought the English version while I was living in Nigeria over 40 years ago and it is a treasured part of my book collection.

[@14tfisher]

Hi Ron, just got done watching your video here on Captain Hook. My heritage is Scottish/Irish/Czech. My father came from Ratiskovice, Czechia with his family as a small child. In the Slavic folklore there is a story about an old woman who was called "Baba Yaga" She was an evil witch whole stole children, if you were bad she would take you away and eat you for her supper..So as small children, my brothers and I use to stay overnights at my grandparents house if we were bad my grandmother would always say.."Bud hodny, nebo si pro tebe v noci prijede Baba Yaga odveze te pryc.". Which means: Be good or Baba Yaga will come for you at night and take you away! So being small children we were on our best behavior at my grandparents house 😁 There is also a book out with illustrations about Baba Yaga as well and some of those illustrations are creepy..Great video..As always safe travels wherever your travels may lead you 💛😊- Trish

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Baba Yaga? Oh boy, I have to check that out. Sounds like the German book I referenced.

The Struwwelpeter book also had bad girls. Like the one with the matches? Did it stop me playing with matches at 8 years old? Nooooooo. But boy, did I get a lecture from my parents that day. 😅

[@limlianhui9462]

I have seen gravestones in Malaysia’s oldest city, Malacca, from the Dutch period (1600s, 1700s). They exhumed the graves and took the bones with them when they exchanged the city for Batavia (now Jakarta, the Indonesian capital) with the British Empire but left the huge, heavily inscribed 5 foot tall gravestones all lined up against the inner walls of the ruins of an even older Portuguese chapel (built in the early1500s). There is one open grave in that chapel - and that was where St. Francis Xavier was buried (he had taught at this same chapel in life when he came here) for a year (1554) after he died in China while they waited for the Tradewinds to change so they could sail back with him West to his beloved mission at Goa, India. But when he was exhumed he was fully intact and incorrupt, instead of just bones, like they expected. They did take him back to Goa where he is venerated to this day.

[@limlianhui9462]

I heard about the book when I learnt German as a young engineer at a German company, Festo GMBH. Those characters do look like those older European storybook illustrations. It could very well be from one of them, I think the hat looks like an early beanie, there was a little Pom-Pom (bobbin) at the top so the wearer didn’t hit their head on the low doorways in the ships-they automatically ducked lower because they remembered the bobbin - those would be 16-18th centuries so could very well be.
