Why Was So Much Cocaine Discovered Inside These Ancient Mummies? | Cocaine Mummies | Timeline

Equinox brings us this investigation of a mystery that is baffling Egyptologists. The case calls into question whole areas of accepted scientific fact from botany, through chemistry to archaeology. In 1992, routine tests on a mummy in a Munich museum revealed high body levels of cocaine and nicotine. But such substances were not available in ancient Egypt, coming as they do from the Americas - not, apparently, to be “discovered” for thousands of years after the passing of the Egyptian dynasties. Are the mummies fakes; were the substances from plants that have since disappeared or were there, in fact, trade routes between Egypt and South America that predate accepted chronology?

or, hear me out, the severed heads could have been added by people selling the sarcophagus to get extra money and Munich paid her to keep quiet about it when they realized the gravity of their mistake. would make sense since they wont even let anyone see it now. they probably ran tests of their own, realized they had been displaying a false body for decades and decided to cover up that at least the head was a modern mummy. the theory on nicotine i find believable. many other plants contain nicotine. even tomatoes. but cocaine literally ONLY comes from the coca plant and a trade route across the atlantic before colonization came about did not exist. unless some form of ship for long distances was conceivable 4000 years ago (spoiler, it wasnt) then coca being in Egypt is a literal impossibility.

Exactly, the Atlantic crossing route they would use is probably the one we still use today, come out of the Med at Gibraltar , then sail down to the canaries off Africa, then across to the south Caribbean sea. They may have traded with the islanders of the North coast of South America for these goods. The route on the way back could have been Bermuda, then the Azores, then down to Gibraltar, back into the Med and on your way to the Nile as an example. What blows my mind is maps showing trade routes going across the Atlantic that are over 2000 years old have been found and dismissed by most if not all historians as "great forgeries" for years now, some even show crude coastlines all around the Americas on the Eastern side.

Here’s another link for the Erythroxylum sechellarum which is native to the African country of Seychelles: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythroxylum_sechellarum There’s 2 links to start you off, I hope you don’t expect me to read the words to you as well. You were quite simply wrong, it’s alright to admit it. Hopefully in the future you’ll be more open to scientific reasoning by understanding that plant species aren’t limited to the continents humans believe them to be on just because we say so. Science is always changing because there’s always something new to be discovered, all it takes is another more explorative researcher who’s willing to disregard what their professor told them by simply going out into the field and then taking their samples back to the lab to prove that the previous theories were wrong. Unfortunately scientists are far less explorative these days. From the way you speak it’s possible you’re in a STEM field, if so I’ll give you a word of advice: don’t limit yourself so much, because if you do you’ll never discover anything new.

Fits perfectly as far as I’m concerned.

These tales coincide with The Egyptian legend of Osiris. Who was said to have gone abroad and introduced cultures to the same sorts of things. In Egypt, Osiris is said to have returned, but in South and Central America the civilizer(s) never did.

What irks me is the way that Egyptologists band together to reject anyone who is doing research that tries to stretch the boundaries of known information. Anyone who dares to question the chiseled in stone dogma has an up hill battle. There is no spirit of inquiry, no willingness to support the pursuit of a new hypothesis. That just crushes any new scholarship and perpetuates the old boys network.

[@thekalepatch]

Sandra Nelson totally agree. "Scientists" have no interest in actual science. They don't actually want to hypothesize, test, then conclude. They treat it more like a religion. Which is so funny because they are usually the ones who hate religion the most! Lol!

[@perspellman]

It still is very common within certain groups of science to be extremely conservative. If anyone dear to challenge the established knowledge, they are quickly ridiculed. It happened to Darwin and it's not long since they saw Benedicte and Helge Ingstad's knowledge of the viking societies establishing in North America as nonsense, though it long since was established that they settled on Iceland and Greenland, and had few problems crossing the Atlantic, several hundred years before Columbus. There now also is good evidence that the Chinese build grand fleets of large ships that sailed across vast areas of ocean, and most probably have been as far as to the Caribbeans, many decades before Columbus. But the Columbus myth is very strong and so is the all over belief that ancient civilizations couldn't have crossed the big oceans, together with other prejudice of how primitive they were. Well, the Egyptians built the pyramids and transported enormous stone blocks over great distance, and scientists still argue about how they could build the pyramids, and even what they were for and how old they really are. Slogan is - don't you dare step into my circles.

Your are right on with this one. Was talking to an anthropologist a few months ago and she was still insisting that the pyramids of Giza are larges tombs for the Pharos. She had no proof other than that she had seen mummies in museums. But as we all know that is a lie because all Pharos that has ever been uncovered has been in the valley of the kings. If she simply wasn't lying about her education it concerns me that such old teaching hasn't been upgraded yet. It seems that the pyramids are older than believed, not build by slaves, used for som other porous than we thought and that previous civilizations had a much greater understanding and communications around the world than we think. They say we have emerged from the dark ages. But the more we uncover it seems like we are barley out of the woods when it comes to recover our history and understanding about ancient civilizations. And its important that old scholar turns humble about how things we think we know are not actual facts and more or less qualified guesses.

Great documentary with some interesting food for thought! Not sure I understand why so many modern-day archeologist refute any possibility that things may have happened differently than what we now know. Beyond conspiracy theories and aliens, the systematic refusal that seems to always start with “I don’t believe” comes across as very anti-scientific. If all scientists had that mind-set, the earth would still be flat at the center of the solar system.

I couldn't agree more. For another great example of "Scientists" who don't want to learn or discover inconsistencies, look for a talk by Rupert Sheldrake, where he talks about the different results of the speed of light measured around the world. Can you imagine how they "solve" the problem? They make it a constant, instead of trying to figure out why this is happening. That's pretty much modern science at it's best in my opinion.

The place name is still the same unconcealed and in the early years of video people went back and filmed what was still there at the time. We know the Egyptians made it to America.

Except in America the winner's of battles write the history history. When Columbus found what he thought was India the indigenous people greeted him thinking he was there to trade. Little did they know he was the the herald of warmongers, thieves, rapist's, and enslavers

Transatlantic travel was possible. The Polynesians pretty much had the whole world mapped out hundreds of years before Columbus was around.

[@caroljomartin3051]

It's been proven. They even built boats and tested them to see if they could make it, and they did. We have very little knowledge of just more than 12,000 years ago, but we know nothing of human history as far as 200,000 and everything in between is a giant question mark.

“Whole world” “mapped out”

[@Itsamallard]

An 500 years before Columbus the Vikings sailed to America. The world imo will continue to build up an fall an 1000 years from now there will be a new world and someone will go an discover America again.

[@ebrelus7687]

Columbus used old maps to go there. He knew where he is going. He wasn't insane to go to the end of world...

@SmoothRide That, or he genuinely thought he was "discovering" it.

[@shanemike3070]

If Egypt had the technology to build the Pyramids Im sure they had the technology to sail across the Atlantic Ocean

[@dfiala9890]

@Youssef Houaoui You are correct. But Shane is correct in what he *meant* to say. The tech required to build the pyramids is not the same as that needed to fare the seas, therefore a society could indeed develop to the point of the former without ever developing the latter. However, all of the knowledge necessary to travel across the ocean could be inferred from knowledge that the Egyptians must have had in order to construct these incredible monuments. Therefore it should not be such a leap of incredulity to believe that they actually did it. I personally think that it is more likely that the Phonecians crossed the Atlantic than the Egyptians, but that is really splitting hairs. What is interesting is the idea that people from that time and part of the world had transatlantic contact, not the specifics of which polity was directly responsible.

[@dfiala9890]

@Youssef Houaoui Your argument here is why I think the Phonecians are the prime candidate for explaining any hypothetical transatlantic contact with Egypt. Though, as a side point, the notion that societies only build things they "need" is laughable. You can't possibly take such a proposition seriously.

[@dfiala9890]

@Youssef Houaoui also, hate to break it to you, but Chinese civilization is actually the longest lived.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Yeah but no one is saying that and no one thinks that. Even those who think the cocaine and nicotine came from America don't think the Egyptians sailed there. The ancient Egyptians wrote down EVERYTHING. So did the Romans and the Greeks, although this is a bit older than the Roman period. But someone would've mentioned it somewhere. If these things did actually come from America, that would most likely imply a vast trade network. The Chinese would've probably gotten it from the Polynesians or something, and they traded far and wide and indeed some Chinese products did end up in Egypt. Although I've got to say that that's not really very likely. There's not enough data to establish this idea and there are far to many criticisms. I'm not saying it didn't happen. I don't know what happened. It's a mystery. But it's not very likely. There are other explanations that are far more likely.

When you take into consideration that Brien Forester finally was able to sample the DNA of the elongated skulls in Peru and found Syrian DNA in those samples, the likelihood of trans-oceanic trade was entirely possible.

How does it make it impossible because of that? He said that the dna proved to be some sort of Hybrid human. The only thing that's impossible is knowing for sure what happened back then because we weren't there. That proves nothing.

There are scientists with no agenda, who report their findings and facts.. even if they go against mainstream accepted theory or history.. who are willing to risk damaging their credibility, reputation and career.

Quite right it should be resolved.
