i saw a gypsy grave in ireland some yrs ago similar age, his grave said 140 yrs old LOL, im sure back in those days some folks didnt even know when they where born, and often told lies of there ages as age was wisdom. But graveyards eh full of great things .

9:36 My uncle was a verger. He was tending to his mother's (my grandmother) grave and part of the headstone fell and landed on his leg, breaking it! He eventually recovered and was able to return to his duties. When my mother heard what happened to her brother she said "I'm not surprised. Wilfred was always doing something to annoy our mother. Mother was the type to hold a grudge." The view from the top is amazing!

Ha ha! Not buying the 120 year life for him. Possible, of course, but not likely. Fudging ages wasn't uncommon back then in the days when not everyone had a reliably-established birthdates (let alone birth certificates). But hey, maybe he really was just outrageously lucky. Love the dog zoomies. :-) The child skeleton carving was the first thing in a while that made me go agape. Damn. Creepy. Twisted. Dark. I love the Scots. lol.

If he was 120 years old and died in 1792, then he was born in 1672. Not only king of the gypsies, but a "horner" made things from horns as well as a 'door to door salesman". The hanged man's tomb slab is a political statement of his life. And since it is on his tomb, it is sacred and therefore can not be defaced or removed. So like a declaration of his innocence.

@janetpendlebury6808 10 ай бұрын

Just because something is written on a tombstone, does not mean it is always true. And stones can and are removed from old cemeteries if they need the space.

@6Haunted-Days Ай бұрын

Ummmm yea sure it can be defaced or removed huh? I get it being very wrong to do that to ANY grave but you're acting like cuz some symbol is on there that means it has some special ....paranormal protection? Or? Like he'll be struck dead if anyone tries to erase it off the tombstone? 😂🙄

He lived for 120 years during the 1700s. That's amazing. He must've eaten all natural stuff. Jack Lalane was right when he said that humans can live up to 120😅

There a man buried in Westminster Abbey that was a152 years old when he died, Thomas Parr 1482 to 1635...

@janetpendlebury6808 10 ай бұрын

A modern interpretation of the results of the autopsy suggests that Parr was probably less than 70 years of age. It is possible that Parr's birth records were confused with those of his grandfather. Parr did not claim to be able to remember specific events from the 15th century.

An hourglass on its side with wings, often seen on gravestones, is a powerful symbol in funerary art. The hourglass itself represents the passage of time and the inevitable end of life, with the sand slipping away as a reminder that time is finite. When the hourglass is shown on its side, it typically signifies that time has stopped, symbolising death or the end of earthly existence. The addition of wings to the hourglass introduces the idea of the fleeting nature of life, often associated with the phrase "time flies." It suggests the swift passage of time and the transience of life, reinforcing the message that life is brief and mortality is inescapable. Together, the image of a winged hourglass on its side conveys a poignant reminder that time has run out, and the soul has moved on, often implying a belief in the soul’s journey beyond the mortal realm.

Bit of an exaggeration on the kings grave, must have been a storyteller as well. I wish you would read the inscriptions of women, I find their stories fascinating.
