Is The Mummy Movie Correct? | MythBusters | Season 8 Episode 8 | Full Episode

[@Megoover]

Last "Jamie the Lightbulb" test gave me a thought. The whole room in the film was filled with sand. And could greatly help with spreading light

[@KandiKlover]

They also weren't using the light meter right. It's somewhat directional and they were holding it up high above most of the light. It's should've been set on the ground for more consistency.

[@mountbuckekreative4044]

Anyone remember the point and click Adventure "Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis". I think it was one of the first games that used eyes slowly adapting to darkness in the underground places. So you went from clicking randomly on a black screen to "oh my, i think there might be a silhoutte" . Good that there were no wineglass parcours setup in the game.

14:54 I like how can see the light going from mirror to mirror

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

In ancient Egypt, most structures was done through oil lamps on posts. Smaller scale lightning was done in small pottery dishes with oil or animal fat.

[@ClockworkChainsaw]

When painting the artwork inside the pyramids, though, they actually used bronze mirrors. But not static ones, they had, as they briefly mentioned, slaves holding them and adjusting them to give the artist the best light possible.

[@monofame]

[@A.R.O.T.A.]

4 things about the mirrors used in the movie scene that were not replicated in this vid were 1) the mirrors were convex mirrors 2) mottled as though shaped with a ball head hammer 3) bronze in colour 4) the primary mirror directed the light down at a near vertical angle toward the secondary. I wonder how much difference this would make to the light levels and would using the primary and secondary to track the sun be enough?

[@gabrielv.4358]

yr

[@danicorvin]

Bronze would be oxidated though

[@A.R.O.T.A.]

@@danicorvin You are correct but it's what was used at the time and all metals available at the tome would also oxidise quickly due to the corrosive nature of the desert sand and it's high salt content so they would have to polish them very often anyway.

[@thomasr2472]

26:09 "Have you met my sun?" 😅 Clearly the best pun in all of Mythbusters.

[@Rainyalley]

Dude Tori Harpoon idea is straight up Mad Max !!

[@Sethioz]

Mirrors lighting up the room would be possible with multiple primary mirrors or some kind of prism or crystal method. i don't think light-tubes existed back then, but nowdays you can use a light tube to feed a steady-non moving beam into the tomb / room and it would get the light from a prism that would be able to take sunlight from any angle and then feed it into that light-tube.

[@gabrielv.4358]

32:28 if the pedal is to the metal wouldnt the car be accelerating at maximum speeds??

[@cliffsmith23]

I've yet to hear an American who can pronounce the word "mirror". It just comes out as "mirrrrr".

[@BlankChaz]

"A mirror is a negative space with a frame."- Blue Oyster Cult

[@JoeZUGOOLA]

Jamie does

[@Games_and_Music]

@@JoeZUGOOLA He came very close, yeah. Compared to Kari in another episode, luckily i knew that she was talking about mirrors so i knew what the weird sounds meant. The Action Lab also says "mirrrrr" a lot, just like many people pronounce horror as 'horrrrr", like AVGN who is a massive horror fan. As a Dutchie, i find horror to be kinda difficult as well, because i am a bit too aware of what the word means that sounds exactly like "horrrr", plus the English/American R can be a bit tricky sometimes in words like these. I guess another easy way to sorta say mirror is "mirrah", and horror "horrah", at least it doesn't sound like you're stuck halfway the word, or accidentally saying something offensive.

6:01 Why does that camera have hair?

These guys are supposed to answer all our burning questions. But now they have left us with the most perplexing mystery in all history!!?!

[@Games_and_Music]

I first thought it was meant to be Jamie, but then the hair would've obviously been below the lens, so i figured it had to resemble a very thick eyebrow of sorts. I haven't seen The Mummy in ages, maybe it was a reference to the film, i'm just guessing.

What are the model of the vehicles?

[@xyreniaofcthrayn1195]

There was only one gripe I had with the mirror part of this episode there was clear sunlight going down above the mirrors and behind the characters where they came in from so the ambience would've have been somewhat skewed brighter in the movie. Edit: Specified I meant the movie.

[@zarghamsaif941]

Which episode is it where tori face plants on that bike jump? Its in the intro highlights.

12:21 That SFX was completely unecessary

[@HostLT]

Locking the wheels is always a mistake because it is less efficient than controlling the braking force.

[@mrdan2898]

A person can't read using only one candle, but needs 100 candles?

[@Games_and_Music]

I didn't quite get that either, but i think they were talking about overall ambient light coming from a candle to light a space. Of course you can read with just 1 candle, but yeah, you'll have to be right next to it, and it takes 100 candles to get a similar amount of light across the space.

[@gabrielv.4358]

[@Johny40Se7en]

30:47 Is it me or are the front wheels on that green IROC locked up? No anti lock brakes on those things is it? Definitely would have skewed the results, and why it's out of control. 41:33 That is just bonkers, it's like something from Mad Max 2. Typical Tory Balachi! 🤭😆😅 And I absolutely love how Jamie and Adam pretty much confirmed the mirrors myth. Bare in mind those ancient Egyptians were a super clever bunch, and had larger mirrors, accuracy, the right materials and last but not least, the first one outside is slightly convex to account for the sun shifting a bit(shown in the film). I'm sure they used molten silver to make their mirrors too. No idea how they rubbed it on there evenly though, cork paint pads maybe. Likely got silver molten, then let it cool slightly before applying it.

[@bofflethewaffle]

There is no way anyone ever "rubbed" molten silver onto anything, let alone glass. Silver melts at 961.8°C (over 1700°F). Modern mirrors are made with a chemical solution that has silver dissolved in it, which slowly and evenly coats a glass surface. Instead the ancient Egyptians used bronze mirrors, hammered into a thin sheet then polished. You'd be surprised how reflective bronze (or any metal) can be. Some native tribes from South America used obsidian to make mirrors, too.

[@Johny40Se7en]

@@bofflethewaffle Copper melts at a higher temperature than that, around 1100c doesn't it? And they got that to melt just fine when they were making some of their intricate jewelry. No idea how, but that is incredible stuff. As for the silver, must have been heated up then poured / dripped on and then spread with something that resists that much heat. Like I said, they were so bloody advanced and clever when it came to technology, and growing crops too. I don't doubt that they could have used bronze also. I didn't know about the obsidian. Learn something new every day =)

[@bofflethewaffle]

@@Johny40Se7en If you pour / rub molten silver onto glass the glass will shatter unless it's at nearly the same temperature. Silvered glass mirrors as we know them weren't invented until 1835. And it took until the industrial revolution for glass mirrors of any variety to be affordable for the common folk. Until then they buffed and polished metals.

[@Johny40Se7en]

@@bofflethewaffle I didn't say pour it onto glass. It's poured onto metal...

I don't have this issue on YT (yet), but i do have it on other sites often, especially the F1 news sites. It's so weird, i always go "not available in my country?! I'm in Holland, a neighbor to the UK, what do you mean not available!". I know it doesn't literally mean that it is impossible to connect to a neighbor country, it's always a subscription problem or something on the business side, but in practice for the customer it just sounds ridiculous, being on the internet and connected to everything. I don't use a VPN, i just stream somewhere else, and the clips that i cannot watch for business reasons, i can live with that.

[@jinstinky501]

Never lock your breaks.

[@thetruerift]

LATITUDE, DAMN IT, LATITUDE!! San Francisco is like 8 degrees further north than the pyramids at giza (and slightly more if the fictional temple is somewhere else in the egyptian deserts). That makes a measurable difference in the sun's angle. Same issue with the Archemedes death ray. I don't think it would make either myth confirmed, but it's a pretty big factor for them to not address.

[@seraphina985]

Also they having been intended to actually have a person operating each mirror doesn't seem that far fetched. These are supposed to be tombs that hundreds if not thousands of people to build producing half a dozen workers willing or otherwise would hardly be a problem for the people in charge of constructing and overseeing these things. Hell this is the ruling monarchy these people probably don't even travel with much less than a dozen soldiers/guards, servants, and slaves around them. Applying humans to the problem is absolutely an option for the monarchy of a powerful ancient civilisation.

[@Sethioz]

REASON why dark areas in movies are much brighter, is because cameras don't record well in dark, they pixelate a lot. average person doesn't have enough common sense to realize this, but human eye can see much better in dark than cameras. so instead of recording in dark areas, they use powerful soft light and record entire scene in bright area and they use even more powerful flashlights or other light sources so they would stand out, then they use special effects and dim the area to make it look like in dark. you can always make bright area look like dark by editing the video, but you can't do opposite as it would pixelate and general quality would suffer significantly. that's why in movies they always show much brighter areas and pretend it's very dark. that's also why in very low budget movies or in older movies, darker areas are pixelated as they tried recording in actual darkness.

[@DarkInos]
