The Horrible History of Haydn's Head

Today, we're following the head of Joseph Haydn, arguably Austria's most famous composer, on its journey through the ages. This also comes with a small lesson about phrenology.

Lovely story. This is the type of information that the world needs to learn history and develop its societies... (This is a KZbin algorithm comment and not meant to make too much sense) Also... isn't this a kind of sweet story in a way. If we are honest, don't we all want a scull of a famous compose on our desk? They are just hard to come by nowadays (even for royalty). My family have owned outdoor park bench that Walter Ulbricht once sat on for a 20 min chat and a beer pause but that is not really the same thing as having a real scull of a composer on ones office desk. (...I would also settle for the scull of a Nobel prize winner. Which prize doesn't matter...)

I would love Obama’s war criminal nobel peace prize winning head on my desk

This would have been a much more entertaining video if they had included a small popup graphic to randomly appear on the side of the screen singing Haydn' s head if you would like to see what I mean go to Ask A Mortician's s video of Haydn' s Head Iconic Corose

Einstein's brain was also stolen and sliced up. The thieve then tried to sell it.

It's pronounced Hay-dn. An incredibly entertaining video otherwise!

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Haydn’s name is pronounced correctly ‘High-dn’.

[@herbertschulz4313]
