Yeah I feel like it wasn't properly explained this this isn't just smart archaeologist knowledge, it was a massive news story that everyone knows and continues to make jokes about
My 6th grade history teacher had us mummify cornish game hens, build tombs for them, and then bury them in their tombs in the school field, so I am no stranger to elaborate animal tombs, lol.
That is fantastic and I am SO jealous. The coolest thing that ever happened in one of my history classes is that a kid carved an amphora out of cheddar cheese (not very well, as you might imagine)
There was a recent ep of Dear Hank and John where Hank explained that he wanted to have the whole Mentopolis cast on but only had time to record with Mike Trapp before his diagnosis. So he probably wants to collaborate with the others in other ways!
I'm so used to not knowing anyone else named Siobhan that it's supremely weird for me to hear someone say my name and not have them be addressing me. I keep getting jumpscared (That being said, Siobhan Thompson is very cool and smart and it feels nice to hear how cool and smart Siobhan is even if that Siobhan is not me)
It was lovely having Siobhan as a guest! Also it's really interesting how the biodiversity in burial sites may be due at least in part to humans just deciding to leave the area untouched, so nature can grow back as nature intended. It's things like this which give me hope that a lot of the environmental issues we're facing are solvable. We do need to stop messing up our planet, but it's reassuring to know that it can recover from human activities, with or without us surviving. After all, Earth has already been through at least 5 extinction events!
There's a danger in repeating this myth that the Chernobyl area is now pure and pristine, since any food grown in the soil is not safe to eat, and of more immediate concern, if Ukrainians cut wood there to burn for heat in the winter, which is a real risk what with the war and all, it's going to release radioactive isotopes in the wood smoke. Then there's the water. You have to be extremally selective and superficial to look around the exclusion zone and see nature "healing" or whatever.
The final point about foxglove is so true. As a child, it was my favorite flower because it was so pretty and grew everywhere. Some grew in my elementary school. Then a kid dared me to eat it. I'm allergic to tons of stuff so I refused, so the guy dared another girl, who was pressured into it. I don't know WHY the kid dared us, if he knew it was poison and sadistically thought it would be funny to watch a girl die. In any case, after she ate the foxglove and ended up hospitalized, the school ripped out all the flowers and meticulously went around figuring out precisely what was planted on the school grounds, getting rid of anything that was dangerous to consume. You'd think that should be a given at an elementary school, with 5-8 year olds who put anything into their mouths. Makes the scene in Jurassic Park when they realize the dinos are sick from poisonous berries so darkly realistic. (Not the first time we tried to kill each other. One classmate of mine actually died in 2nd grade while on the playground after she was dared to do a banned maneuver on the monkey bars, fell (no padding back then) and busted open her skull in front of all of us. Or, at least we assumed she died since she was whisked away in an ambulance and never returned. Maybe she was paralyzed and couldn't return to regular public school. I also ended up in the hospital after being beaten up by a mob of boys so severely that I almost needed surgery for internal organ damage. I swear, my school personified the line in the "Peter Pan" novel about children being "innocent and heartless." Life in East LA, man.)
I am neither British nor American yet know a lot about UK and US history just from osmosis. I couldn't win a quiz, but I at least can pronounce things and take a stab at a decade when certain events occurred and get a better-than-chance result..
Fun fact very very rarely extremely rarely paternal mitochondria actually make it into a baby. It is rare But it has happened. I have no idea if we know what happens in subsequent generations after that happens because the baby starts out with a mix of two types of mitochondria and I would imagine that one ends up dominating eventually but I'm going to go look that up after this to see if we know that yet.
Okay so we don't actually know that part yet. We do not know what happens when you have mitochondria from both parents and then have kids like how much of that gets passed on or anything like that yet.
Anyone who keeps reading and watching videos and learning about the thing that they don't do anymore and eventually ends up having so much knowledge about the thing that they might as well have been doing that thing the entire time. In some cases I think you might actually end up with more information because when it's your professional job you tend to only look at one narrow slice and when it's more of just an interest that you can't do professionally right now cuz you're doing something else you look at a way broader slice so you get way more information. This has happened to me with biology as a subject and my coworkers basically just assume that I know everything about all biology at this point even though I don't just because I have so many anecdotes and can answer somebody questions and pull out papers out of nowhere, lol. I'm not a biologist I'm software engineer what's a biology degree.
What year of halloween Tangents did Hank introduce himself as "Hank gangrene Green"? As a random internet person, I find that it is my duty to object to him using any other name. For Hank Gangrene Green is love, Hank Gangrene Green is life. p.s I should have bought the socks. (p.s(p.s I am sorry that I didn't buy the socks))
I'm in the US and my college had archeology as part of liberal art studies. And I believe it was also part of geology and history. But I took it as a biologist and I don't think it actually counted towards anything for me. I honestly think every university just makes up something and shoves archeology into that section especially if it's undergrad level.
Concerning gauntlet question #1... You said they did DNA tests and determined it was the dude... HOW?! Did they have other DNA samples they knew to be him in order to compare them? Because you don't just look at DNA and say, "It says here... 'Sorry, but your princess is in another castle.'" DNA identifies persons because they are like genetic fingerprints... If you have ONE fingerprint there's no way to tell who it belongs to unless you have a copy of that exact persons fingerprint to compare it to. So... Did they somehow have other DNA that they KNOW was the dude? And if so, where'd they get THAT DNA? I has questions!
The rocks the pyramids are made out of are far, far older than the pyramids themselves. The rocks already existed as bedrock for millions of years before the Egyptians carved them out of the ground. Dating the rocks the pyramids are made of tells us nothing about the pyramids themselves. It would be like using the age of the gravel in your driveway to date your house. The gravel already existed as rocks for millions of years before a company ground it up and sold it to whoever built your house. So it would show your house being millions of years old... which clearly isn't the case.
Back to Back sponsorships is too much for me. I pay for Premium to avoid ads, I feel like being patient through one sponsorship per episode should be enough.
@@blessedveteran That's the thing, I don't skip promotional segments, even if they're at the end of a video. I want the creators to have watch minutes on their promotions, and I'll tolerate one from somebody I'm subscribing to, especially somebody like Sci-Show. Two or more is obnoxious, though, and I'm going to have to draw the line. I'm not watching television here, I'm not listening to broadcast radio, and those advertisements are the biggest reason I'm not.
Siobhan is such a delight! I'm new to D20, but very much enjoy watching her banter. It's great to see her as a guest here on Tangents 😊
Please invite Siobhan to come back sometime! This is an excellent crossover.
Siobhan continues to dominate in nerdy fact based games! 😂
To be fair. you could have had almost any British person answer the question about Richard III, it was all over the news 🤣
Im from the states and I had heard it before 👍
Yeah I feel like it wasn't properly explained this this isn't just smart archaeologist knowledge, it was a massive news story that everyone knows and continues to make jokes about
@@AbiSaysThings Yeah it's maybe the most public exhumation since Tutankhamun, we all know about the car park.
Now we need Hank on Um, Actually
Hank makes radiation look good.
That poem was really good. I love Siobhan
I live Siobhan but I never realized she was an archaeologist...she's even cooler in my eyes now.
This episode was great, thanks guys!

Im so glad you kept "oh its just harald" in...that had me rolling 🤣... I havent laughed that hard in a while. Thank you for that 🤗
Never been a bigger fan, the four coolest people 😭💛

The internet can use more Siobhan, for sure, and what a showcase on her incredible fact retention!
I just love the idea about the burial mounds having more biodiversity
The Minions episode needs to be loaded on the Sci Show Piss channel you made for one April Fools Day
I wonder what impulse led them to get Siobhan on the show? ;) this is just such a great combo and I love it!!
There was a recent ep of Dear Hank and John where Hank explained that he wanted to have the whole Mentopolis cast on but only had time to record with Mike Trapp before his diagnosis. So he probably wants to collaborate with the others in other ways!
I'm not British and i knew about the car park. Thanks for making me feel smart.
Please have Siobhan on again!
YES!!! Now get Brennan lee Mulligan and cement your crossovers !!!

is Cranky Sam's a bar in Missoula, or are they just inviting themselves over to Sam's house and knowing it will make him cranky?
Y’all keep raising the bar for these science poems holy cow

you don't have to be british to know about richard iii, it was a big news item in the us too at least on social media
Yeah I have a vague memory of it being news at some point, and I'm not British either
Love Siobhan so much!! I was SO excited to see this! ❤ (Though I am always excited for Sci Show Tangents)
As a Dane I love the little bit about vikings and Danish history :D This is a great episode all around! :D
Mentopolis was so freaking good highly recommend
Siobhan is so awesome! I'm halfway through Mentopolis and it's awesome!
Aw man I had almost forgotten about these wonderful months we got to have Crank Green
Foxglove grows wild all over the place in western Washington. We don't fall over dead from it.
It's quite pretty too when spring rolls out

I can't quite tell if Sam actually knew Siobhan has a degree in archeology... 😅
Ah, it was answered later on in the episode: yes, he did!
everything I love eventually converges!
OH HECK IT"S SIOBHAN!
I am HERE for this guest
Ohhhh THATS what tumulous means..... i grew up on livejournal soooooo ive only heard it in, uh, other contexts 😂
I am neither British nor American yet know a lot about UK and US history just from osmosis. I couldn't win a quiz, but I at least can pronounce things and take a stab at a decade when certain events occurred and get a better-than-chance result..
This was SUCH a delight, thank you guys for putting together a great podcast ^_^
Thanks for answering! Super interesting and fun episode!
Siobhan seems to have missed a Hank chapter or two and seems genuinely confused why he looks different lol thats sweet
Great one - I am such a fan of the science poems!
im so spooked
So excited for spooky season SciShow Tangents!
Anything can be bet on. I challenge everyone reading this to play monopoly this holiday season with real cold hard cash. It will be epic
@SciShow Tangents, Hank, your craniofacial architecture is beautiful. Not kidding. I am blessed to know you are here, healthy, and still funny.
Want to just make people feel werid ? Why, how did you know? 😂
let's get spooky
Yes social media is garbage now. Love the content guys keep it. Best wishes to Hank and all the SciSho team
Love catching the lives!! ❤😊
Didn’t know Hank was almost a Florida man. Escaped just in time…

Thank you
as soon as they showed the Richard III image, i knew the answer was gonna be they found his bones in a car park.
I had a friend a long time ago who always said he wanted to be buried standing instead of lying down so he took up less space.
Yay!!!! Spooky Season!!!!!
Yay :) Siobhan!! :DDD
Instead of 18, you must count from 4 to 20 in the manner currently required by the rules pf the game

You guys ever think of making a cheap set and doing these in more of a game show format?
Old-school Hank and the gang on their cheap set. Sam looks 12 years old here, lmao. ruclips.net/video/sNbGpoZk1Fc/видео.html
They don’t all live in the same place anymore
20:25 Please tell me I'm imagining things, but did Hank just shush Stefan? That's incredibly rude.
October 🎉
So a shallow unmarked grave is not a tomb, but a serial killer's trophy room?
52:04 wouldn't that be FDV, not TMI?
I want to do agriculture here!
not the early demure from Siobhan
Engagement
Siobhan is on SciShow?????
the time when all my favorite youtubers were bald.
Anyone know if archeology is considered a part of the anthropology degree for UK? That’s how it works in the US usually
I believe it’s a stand alone Department in England.
Yes, anthropology and archaeology are separate subjects in British universities.
I'm in the US and my college had archeology as part of liberal art studies. And I believe it was also part of geology and history. But I took it as a biologist and I don't think it actually counted towards anything for me. I honestly think every university just makes up something and shoves archeology into that section especially if it's undergrad level.
The thing about archaeology as an academic discipline is that it covers do many areas; geology, sociology, human geography, and even nuclear physics.

WHAT
if they can use strontium to rubidium ration to age rocks , WHY HAVENT THEY DONE THIS TEST ON THE PYRAMIDS
The rocks the pyramids are made out of are far, far older than the pyramids themselves. The rocks already existed as bedrock for millions of years before the Egyptians carved them out of the ground.

what makes you think they haven't? we have a really good idea of how old all the pyramids are, not just the great pyramids in Giza.
