      Okay, so first off, congratulations on making it to trending. Like the channel. Second off, thank you for being the first youtuber who actually posted sources to where their getting this whole idea from. Thirdly... Uh... no... still no. It's just as likely that they were buried near their king, so they could serve their king in the afterlife. After all, the Pharaoh keeps all of his worldly possessions with him in his tomb, why not bring along one of his greatest resources, his slaves?
      Moreover, I never said that they were slaves... But, and I'm arguing semantics just to be a dick, however you twist this, they're still slaves in my mind... unless they were paid substantially, they were slaves! either they were slaves to their own poverty and had to do the grueling labor for money they desperately needed to live, or they were slaves to their king in the sense that they essentially had to... If the king asks if you want to do it... you say yes.
      Also, seems they were worked pretty badly according to one of your sources: "the pyramid builders led a life of hard labor, said Adel Okasha, supervisor of the excavation. Their skeletons have signs of arthritis, and their lower vertebrae point to a life passed in difficulty, he said." So, yeah... seems like slaves to me... But, it doesn't really matter and we'll never find out so who the fuck cares...

    Giles Corey didn't want to "confess" to witchcraft to alleviate his suffering, as tempting as that must've been, because the moment he did, his property would've been seized. Corey wanted his property to stay in the hands of his family, so he died for it.

      Under the rules of procedure at the time a defendant could not be tried until and unless he entered a plea. To prevent miscreants from avoiding justice by refusing to enter a plea, poena dure et forte (punishment hard and strong) was used to coerce a plea. The idea that he did so to avoid forfeit of his property is the most likely reason for him to have done as he did.

    He left out part of the witch trials story, he resigned to being crushed like a badass because if he made a guilty, or not guilty, plea his daughter wouldn't be allowed to inherit his property. By not giving a plea at all, and dying horribly for it, he ensured his daughter would not be homeless when he was executed.

    I read about Giles Corey in a book called The Big Book of Pain. I agree. He is a total badass. He also goes to show that no matter how ridiculous and cruel society is, there’s always gonna be someone that goes “that’s bs.” Torture is just a way to control a group of people who are a potential threat or an imaginary one like witches. From what I read in this book, you don’t need to do anything fancy to inflict a hell of a lot of pain on someone. An 81 year old man who’s fed up with the witch trails refusing to fold for 3 days while he was being crushed to death? Total badass

    Fun fact: The first Autobahn was in fact build under Konrad Adenauer, the German chancellor after WWII, who at the time was mayor of cologne. It’s located between Cologne and Bonn. Adenauer was kind of a badass anyway. During the Nazi Regime he did on one memorable occasion refuse to greet Hitler, when he came to visit Cologne and even forbade to put up the swastika on public bridges, unrelated to this incident he lost his position, hid for a while in a monastery and was questioned by the NS multiple times, one leading to his incarceration. He went on to become chancellor of Germany from 1949 till 1963, in a major time of economic growth and political change (the first predecessor of the European Union was founded back then).

      It's also possible he learned so much from self study that he just didn't participate in class because there was no reason to do "4x+3=5" when he was already doing complex integrals. It would make sense as a quote about "einstein failed math... because he had learned more useful things outside of school" which is similar to the actual real fact that Bill Gates dropped out of college to found Microsoft.
      Basically, its actually possible for you to learn and thrive outside of school.

Due to the fact that Switzerland and Germany have basically the opposite grading system (6 is the best, 1 the worst grad in Switzerland whereas 1 is the best, 6 the worst grade in Germany), some Germans failed to take this into account and proclaimed he failed maths.

    Also, some of the older British folk may have been taught of a British tribal lady called Boadicea. Basically, that was believed to be her name for a fair few hundred years until scientists found a journal also writing of her, instead calling her “Boudicca”. We then realised that, for hundreds of years, we mistook this relatively important lady’s name for something else because of some guy’s bad handwriting. His “C”s looked like “E”s, and his “U”s looked like “A”s, apparently.

      Well ancient people sees the lower class not deserving of meat, because they were super expensive. Most of the poor eat a vegetable soup, a type of wheat crackers and other assortment of wheat cookings, fruit and the occasional wild game or meat left overs after the rich was done with them.

      I honestly don't see how that correlates to them not being slaves. Slaves in those days weren't necessarily chattel slaves. Look at the Jews in Egypt. They had there own towns. They had meat. Basically lived normal lives but they were not free to leave and had to do what the pharaoh ordered. We look at ancient slavery too much like American slavery. American slavery was probably one of the worst forms of slavery in history. Apart from some of the European stuff in the Caribbean and south america (horrible torture)And ancient salt mine slaves. But those were basically criminals sentenced to death.

I think people think so, because they look at American slavery under todays standarts, but acknowledge with other slavery that it were other times. But if you look at how normal people lived and were treated by employers during industrialisation, slaves were barely worse off.

    Here you go: Most "post-mortem" Victorian photos that show babies with their eyes closed, people propped up with stands, or people with weird or sickly looks are just THAT: sleeping babies, people propped up with stands to help them hold still for the long exposure times, and people who WERE sick or who were scared by the camera flash. While there ARE post-mortem photos, the whole thing got WAY overblown on the internet with stories about photographers supposedly routinely propping up dead people along with living relatives. It was a way for people to sell otherwise unremarkable Victorian photos for higher prices. If you can't objectively prove that the person in an old photo is dead (in a coffin, surrounded by flowers, etc.) then don't pay a high price for that photo.

      It's called 'peine forte et dure' (old French) and would be used to punish somebody for refusing to plead guilty / not guilty. If you pleaded guilty, you'd be executed and your property 'escheated' to the crown, and if you pleaded not guilty you'd risk being found guilty and your property would still be taken. However, you can't escheat property from the estate of somebody who was never tried, nor can you try a person once they're dead. When they first abolished peine forte et dure, those refuisng to plead were just presumed to plead guilty. These days if you refuse to plead, you're treated as pleading not guilty. It meant people could choose to endure a slow, agonising death to leave property behind for their family, rather than face trial.
      This wouldn't be used under any circumstances to interrogate a witness however. Giles Corey was being charged for witchcraft, not his wife. A person, even back then, couldn't be compelled to testify against their spouse.
      Weirdly, peine forte et dure was the court's way of respecting the rule of law by not putting words into a person's mouth - I like that they thought it was more humane to crush somebody with rocks than to compel speech. We could use a bit of that spirit today (with a pinch of salt).
      I would love it if Mr. O'Nella would do a video on archaic trial methods / punishments.
