The Grim Delicacy of Eating Mummies | Historical Curiosities

[@helenbekind8486]

I saw this a while ago and wonder if this is what really started the Black Plague, Justinian Plague, and bubonic plague…the disease called KURU which comes from cannibalism is similar to those. Sores, sickness, shaking, etc.

Did you know that when he was on his deathbed, King Charles II paid Oliver Cromwell’s doctor, Jonathan Goddard, a handsome sum for the coveted formula of his drops which later came to be known as ‘King’s Drops’. The secret ingredient in this tincture? A powder consisting of five pounds of crushed human skulls. Goddard, also a chemist by profession, peddled this concoction as Goddard’s Drops, a supposed miracle cure for any and all ailments.

It makes sense. Complete sense.

[@mariasaurekksxx1788]

Wow 🤢🤮

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

EUROPEAN: I need to eat this mumia UNCLE ROGER: Haiya! No MSG!

[@kylemorice4870]

Good one

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

Funny how they didn't consider it demonic or pagan (or just nasty) to do that. Whatever the rich got up to, the church might just look the other way.

[@hanzohattori5908]

I really love your artwork ❤

[@more17]

I just clicked the notification and I'm currently eating (pizza, not mummies). I wonder if I should wait to watch this?

[@kimeraclan3135]

Keep in mind that mummified Romans was also a thing!

[@TheHornedKing]

Amazing what a simple mistranslation can lead to.

Cannibalism was very common in Europe up to around 1900 and still practiced by a few to this day. It's also very common around the world to this day. Very sad.

[@aftermath66699]

Yeah right

[@1andOnlyJDauntless]

Teach them of Esau-Edom.

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

Cats seem like they would eat more mummies let's be honest here, I mean they eat humans.

[@maccurtis730]

Cats: "We eat dead humans to protect dead humans from being eaten by live humans".

[@sw_1776]

I've heard about this it was even fashionable to have mummy unwrapping parties and they even ground up mummies and sold it in a powder. History is nasty😂

[@cazrealist1]

More got ground up for fertiliser there where that many at the time it was quite lucrative

[@wcwcwc12]

Mummy food...sounds worse than roadkill cooking!!!

[@GRIGGINS1]

Europeans just lost all right to criticize any food created in the US.

[@grapeshot]

Yes it shows you how these white Europeans truly felt about Egypt.

[@kimeraclan3135]

Or, just how poorly documented they were on the subject. I bet King Tutankhamun's body would have been the gift that kept on giving had he been served at a party, given his curse.

[@ebonytv3414]

And they are still poorly educated on the subject of ancient Egyptians,telling descendants they aren’t descendants…

[@ConservativePrincess]

This is why we can't find mummy's in the pyramids. 😂 they ate them all

[@shaifunnessa7816]

Stephen the great Moldova biography please make video

[@markperkins9445]

So cannibalism was common amoung the aristocracy? Hmmm.

[@louielouie9768]

Absolutely disgusting

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for the video they were very weird back then 🤮 cannibals is sick but eating the dead that's even worse

[@edeliteedelite1961]

But eating the living is a-okay

[@hothmandon]

The linen the mummy's were wrapped in was used as butcher paper for wrapping meat.

[@eyemunchained8968]

Mumia powder mixed with goat 🐐 milk = a week of essential nutrients

[@AurmazlZudeh]

Would they consider themselves cannibals??

[@maccurtis730]

They would create a workaround because of feelings.

[@alexarnold6253]

Im not sure why, but i scanned the title quickly and i thought it said, "historical calories"...😂😂😂

[@hothmandon]

I would try mummy flesh. From what I understand, it was basically jerky

[@Kingdream93]

WOW! Just when I thought I heard it all. Just when I thought nothing can surprise me i'm hearing about this. I heard of cannabilism, I even heard of people having sex with dead people I think is called necrophilia, but i've never heard of anyone eating dead people especially mummies 🤢😂 oh my God mankind is crazy.

[@L1tgawd]

Europeans were eating the corpse of mummies for 400+ years in the name of pseudoscience yet they claim to be descendants of ancient Egyptians 😂

[@silensviator]

I mean... you are what you eat? 😅

[@buukaczi]

In the nineties when I was a kid I can remember my grandma buying "mummy in powder" on a local market from russian people

[@buukaczi]

Mumja w proszku

[@louielouie9768]

Guaranteed many ppl died from Kuru or the Laughing death, all from eating human meat 🤢🤮

[@TheCosmicGuy0111]

Odd

[@rogerhinman5427]

God that's gross

[@sarahbogaert6017]

Sources ? I'm trying to do a comics about this phenomenon and I NEED tangible proof and Sources, the informations you are saying are important but however I can't seem to find any articles with that much details

[@texmex1210]

In Spanish mummy is momia

[@mathieuleader8601]

ooh pharaoh alamode yummy!

[@caz5288]

I guess it's a good way to recycle your body.

[@jhonsepulvedo6750]

Hadn't been to the channel in a while, but saw the title and subtly thought to myself "What the ****?"

[@Jhulinare]

Nothing is sacred to some.

[@joshuavincent3515]

Oh that's what going natural means.

[@ten-dimension9390]

The deceased would never have thought that Hundreds of years later someone will be enjoying their bodies in dinner

[@user-hq8wm8giyujcg]

typical western history, they also do poop out of their home window, they still dont clean with water but use paper and roam around with poop pants

[@a.m.s.twoheart]

"paragons of western civilization" 😆 it's funny bcuz so many brits still think this

[@angelas888]
