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.

There are different species of coca plants around the world and one species exist in Yemen, and it’s very similar to the species that exist in Peru. So I wouldn’t be surprised if during the route of the Egyptians trading with Somali ports (Punt) for frankincense that they also traded with Yemen ports (neighboring Somalia) for coca leaves.

@Vladimir Putin, Dreadlock Rasta Lol pretending to be nonchalant won’t work, I know you’re eager to know. Nonetheless I’ll give you a freebie: it’s called Erythroxylum socotranum a species within the Erythroxylaceae family that’s native to Yemen. Enjoy your research 😊

[@azreal629]

@Vladimir Putin, Dreadlock Rasta What are you talking about? I gave you the exact species name. Are you incapable of googling it to make sure that it’s within the Erythroxylaceae family of species which you erroneously believed was only native to South America? Here I’ll even give you a link because copying and pasting words seems difficult to you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythroxylum_socotranum The Erythroxylum Socotranum of Yemen which as I stated before was where ancient Egyptians would be most likely to get it since Yemen is one of the Red Sea countries alongside Somalia that the ancient Egyptians regularly traded with. 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. Every great scientist of our time was only great because they disregarded the academic consensus of the time and proved a new theory that their peers didn’t realize was possible. Peace out✌🏾

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.

Fits perfectly as far as I’m concerned. Central and South Americans tell the stories of Viracocha and Quezocoatl, who came from the Sea and helped the people with agriculture and architecture, civil laws and unions. 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. Combine these stories with anomalous maps like Piri Reis - that depict The World in way so accurate that we couldn’t reproduce such cartography until The 1700s - and you’re left with the fact that we were far more advanced in antiquity than we are aware or taught.

[@SandraNelson063]

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.

Four explanations are quite feasible. Explanation A: The continents used to be much closer together, allowing for easy export. Explanation B: There were other plants in ancient Egypt that contained the same alkaloids/chemical components.

Those who speak of "scientific consensus" as being a method of determining truth clearly don't understand the nature of, and moral hazard endemic to, the Academy. Consider how Ph.D.'s are manufactured: they have to take the right classes, study the right things, and have to "expand the knowledge" of the Academy (in an Academy approved direction) but NEVER at the expense of those admitting them and their agendas. Would a doctoral advisor ever support a dissertation that disproved their life's work and dry up the revenues from their now out-of-date books? I am all for science, I love it...but those who fail to take the imperfect persons performing the studies into account are most certainly going to be willingly misled.

There's a section of the Grand Canyon that's literally labeled after an Egyptian deity to this very day even though the Smithsonian supposedly went in there and took everything out in the 1800s. 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.
