Very interesting archaeology. Misleading title though. A documentary about artifacts found in melting ice and one body found is not a documentary about "Ice Age Mummies" plural.
thanks for that i wont be watching that now, theres so many rubbish made documentaries about now
Thank you for the heads up. 😁
Title is misleading but it is a good documentary and worth the watch
The shame is, the documentary is well made with great information that people have worked hard to produce. Then it hits RUclips and someone has to/or thinks they have to, put a "click-worthy" title on it to get views. Maybe it would get just as many views with a more boring/accurate title, or maybe it wouldn't.
yes, on the thumbnail there is Ötzi but there is no mention of him in the documentary.
Love that the First Nations were consulted, they deserve to be given a much bigger voice and role in these conversations
How wonderful for these people to find an actual family member and rediscover their beautiful culture. 😊
One of the most interesting documentaries I've seen in a while. At first I thought it's about the body found near the Italy-Austria border. But this Yukon area is yielding many, many more things.
yeah I thought they were talking about Ootzi too.
I remember reading either in national geographic or readers digest about a small plane going down in Europe (maybe Switzerland) and no one could find it. Many years later a glacier gave it up. The first thing found was a tire. Over time the whole plane was found along with the remains of the people on board.
Wow this is interesting
Ew
👍
There is also a VERY interesting episode of the old documentary series “NOVA” on American PBS from around ~2000 about the plane crash of the “Stardust” in what I believe were the Andes mountain. No evidence of the plane was found for quite some time and the mysterious last SOS message of the craft made no sense.
@@bcreech17Thanks. I'll have to check it out
Great documentary ....BUT YOU GOT THE AGE OF Otzi "Ice Man" totally wrong by about 2000 years! The body is NOT "thirty-three hundred years old" as stated @ 38:34 in your video.. ** Actually Ötzi, the Iceman, is the natural mummy of a man who lived some time between 3350 and 3105 BC, discovered in September 1991 in the Ötztal Alps (hence the nickname "Ötzi") on the border between Austria and Italy.
FROM WIikipedia....."Ötzi is believed to have been murdered, due to the discovery of an arrowhead embedded in his left shoulder and various other wounds. The nature of his life and the circumstances of his death are the subject of much investigation and speculation.
He is Europe's oldest known natural human mummy, offering an unprecedented view of Chalcolithic (Copper Age) Europeans. His body and belongings are displayed in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy.
didn't he have "line and point" tattoo? I think it was acupuncture points
carbon dating is bullshit
And he he seemed to be from another area based on his DNA, I've not read where he might have originated.
@@WolfRoss he was running away from someone they believe
Interesting video- but clickbait. Mummies are barely mentioned, the video is 99% about discovering hunting artifacts and local native culture. A subject which is Interesting in itself, yet I’m disappointed about the lack of mummies mentioned in the title. I suggest changing the title and thumbnail to be more accurate.
This channel is notorious for clickbait and horribly misleading titles. Sad, because the video's are well done and informative - but typically people want to watch documentaries about the subject matter related to the title itself.
The actual mummy doesn't turn up til 37-
Cheers m8 4 the heads up
It’s still an interesting documentary.
@@bonnie7898 I just wanted to make a happy new day for you to
Eeeteererrrrrreeerrrrrrreerrerreerrrrrrrrr
Thank you oh my+
I remember knowing about the iceman cuz of my history teacher i became obsessed i decided to dig into more research
12:50 *”There were so many caribou, it was like the mountains moved…and all the shit in these snow patches proves that!”*
12/10 best interviewee-EVER!🤣💗👍
This is the one silver lining to climate change I guess. I was literally in tears when they found the last artifact, this is utterly moving and phenomenal. I'd give anything to be there doing this work.
Go...they can use you.
@@Maven0666 I wish I could! I don't have the resources or the ability at the moment. I also have no training whatsoever.
Given how much work it took to make those darts, I doubt hunters would have just leave behind the ones that missed the caribou
Prob couldn't find them under the snow.
I thought the same thing & I assume that the weapons being found were either lost or broken. But because even if your weapon is broken, parts can still be used, my guess is the weapons would get stuck from being forced through layers of snow & ice when thrown.
I'm trying to logic my way into figuring this out lol.
Great to find artifacts from the time before the little ice age when there obviously was as little ice as there is now.
This video is so fascinating. I have been wanting to know more about these ancient people and how they lived. I feel we are gaining some of our ancient ancestry that has been lost to the modern world.
lol "The shit in these mountains" I thought he was talking about the artefacts at first xD
I remember learning about this when I was in middle school and it's something that just stook with me ever since.
Finally, I have waited for so long for a good documentary on this topic
Time machines exist. Anytime you touch an artifact from the past, you touch history.
hey i saw this irl! It was in a museum in Südtirol! that was so interesting
Me I am proud of my Celtic roots through my Irish mother, I am pretty sure that goes back a long way into the past. These Native Americans must be prouder still to know that their ancestors were skilled survivors in a very unforgiving place. So much untold history of the first settlers makes the respect for them all the greater.
I do like mummies. Fascinating! It's a bit like time travel, which idea is also very interesting to me.
I have seen this. Is this a re upload??
Fascinating!!
First time I saw a real mummy, I was in 4th grade...and it freaked me out...
Same, I was 8 and my big brother had just recently passed. All I could see was my brothers face looking mummified and it made me physically ill. For years I would have panic attacks when we learned about mummies in school or saw anything related to them in museums.
Its always an enigma - they always find mummies - but they never find daddies ...
The oldest known mummy dates to around 9400 years. Most agree the last ice age ended around 11,500 years ago. Nothing in this show has anything to do with the ice age.
Sweet! I thought this was about Ötzi but no…I love this stuff.
They congregate on the ice to avoid botflies? It's crazy to me that there would even be botflies up in Canada, and especially thousands of years ago. Those creatures sound like something that belongs in Australia, with all the other horrible monsters.
Edit: For a moment, I was going to be upset by the fact that they only allowed the scientists to study the dead man lost for a year. That is, until they revealed that he was merely 200-300 years old, meaning it wasn't just some potentially distant ancestor from a few thousand years ago, but in fact someone with current ties. Someone's great great grandfather perhaps.
Have you been to Australia?
I guess im considered a horrible monster !!! 🇦🇺
38:30 utsi is unofficially cursed as those who found him died unexpectedly (utsi was murdered )
I learned about Ötzi in 5th grade he is like. The most famous mummy in germany switzerland and austria
Otzi is the only human ice age mummy found. He lived about 5,000 years ago, and his late paleolithic lifestyle was not markedly different from that of native Americans of that time. He was one of the last of the European hunter-gatherers. A few centuries later, he and his kind were replaced by immigrating people from the Middle East, near modern Anatolia in Turkey, who were farmers. Farming was the great innovation that enabled humans to begin living in one place and to develop new technologies, like the tools and weapons of copper and bronze that replaced stone ones. Otzi and his kin ate the first paleo diet -- the kind some nutritionists recommended a few years ago -- and, because of that diet or despite it, Otzi had atherosclerosis, just like modern humans. We might also note that Otzi was shot in the back by other humans; the flint arrowhead severed his descending aorta. Life 5,000 years ago was no picnic, either.
Amazing
That boy hittin that Millie rock🤣😂😂
The title is deceiving I'm at 31 minutes in not one mummy and don't even say all those sticks/ tree Branches are qualified as mummy's!
Sooo fascinating 🧐
amazing... you just dont get this level of preservation when stuff is buried in soil

Why were they focusing on the Atlatals like it was some new discovery? 18th english colonists literally saw Aboriginals in Australia still using them....
So if people were hunting there that long ago, does that mean it was warmer on earth at that time? Earth went into a ice age during the dark ages, I'm pretty sure of that. Now that the snow is melting, does that also mean the earth is going back to the same temperature it was when the hunters were hunting in those mountains? Are we causing the snow to melt or are there cycles to how earth regulates the global temperature?
We are in a period called the Holocene. It started about 11000 years ago and is a period of warming. Temps go up and down across the globe but not at the same rate and there is no proven relationship with co2. Indeed it appears that it lags behind the temps by about 800 years. Not the politically correct narrative but then reality never is. Don’t take my word for it do your own research and remember, always follow the money.
That’s how the earth regulates temperature it’s like the human body we are similar
No. It was colder. People dressed in many layers and furs to live there. Yes we are causing the glaciers to melt.
The earth's temperature has been warmer than today more than once within our existence as humans.
The last ice age ended about 10,000 years ago.. it's been getting progressively warmer ever since
Atlatl: A stick the length of a man's arm, with a grip at one end and a hook to engage the spear at the other, these spear throwers were called atlatl in the Nahuatl language of the Mexicas
for a generation that throws their parents in a nursing home when they get old and gives them a token visit once a week and to care so much about their ancestors 1000s of years ago is ironic.Interesting show though
Is the guy narrating also the host from Hot Ones?
The determination to survive didn't hinder the ancient hunters because of equipment failure... They would make a replacement...
Learning to survive.Every hunt would be a serious effort to get food... No matter what challenges he would endure,he kept learning and getting better at it....Or, died trying... Respect for the dead is paramount...🕊️ The First Nation's rights have been hard won.... It's a good thing...🌹
Sorry. Did they say they cremated one of the bodies after one year of research? Is that for real?
My question as well. Wouldn't surprise me. There was no reason to destroy the body. To their credit they gave science a year to explore the body. I hope they kept some samples.
@@thereissomecoolstuff This is awful and against any positive purpose. The body was everybody's. There are so many things that are wrong with this. I... Could never forgive those who chose to keep future generations from answers... For religious purposes. Plus, their religion was not the body's religion. Who had this idea? I am thinking legal repercussions. This is just not legal.
I love this but isn't this how the plot of 'The Thing' started??
The 1950’s movie...with James Arness (Matt Dillon in “Gunsmoke”) playing “The Thing”...or the later movie starring Kurt Russell?
@@corinnepmorrison1854 The later one. The one with the archeaological team in the arctic, I believe.
@@queenoffrance6397 The first was a black and white film... Watched it from the backseat of our parents’ car... I was terrified!! The second was in color and did not scare me at all...
The first one also took place in either the arctic or antarctic... They covered the block of ice containing the creature with a blanket...an electric blanket...🤪
I’m surprised these professionals don’t mind contaminating specimens. I would have thought they’d all have worn exam gloves.
I love how the mummy straight dabbed for us in the thumbnail. 👍
Graham R.....I have just sent an email to this organisation to say that the australian aboriginal was found, on european arrival, to be using the same tools with very slightly different arrangements of construction, the throwing stick called a woomera. (Our Woomera rocket range named after that throwing stick. ) Amazing Eh! Are they the same race of people having migrated in opposite directions around the globe...same tools.....
He called the poop shit. Unexpected, but fun. lol
I was near the now more or less dry Santa Ynez river in Lompoc by an abandoned diatemaceous processing plant. There was a hump of earth that stood out unnaturally looking furthermore it had bits of modern trash that littered it in an version run off type pattern. I pulled up a small package with the product still inside. I determined by the literature on the packaging it was from about a year and a half from when I picked it up. It was a utility razor knife probably dropped by a 'homeless" individual as I knew them to habitat this area. It was well into decomposition rendering useless except from what I found soon after-- it was a small chunk of what appeared to be just a rock shaped almost like a small state of California which was what caused it to catch my eye. I browsed the area a few more minutes hoping to unearth a coin or something else of consequence yet nothing else. So I put the trash in a bag to throw away properly then mused over the rock fragment. The " California coastline edge" I realized was extremely sharp as the rock was a chart or flint almost reminding me of a deep brown physician but it's unique shape was what I liked most about it.How strange nature seemed to break me a piece of such hard but brittle rock into such a shape as I love California. Mulling over it sort of using it to meditate and try and drag some feeling or emotion out of what this rock could have " saw or experienced or gone thru" in its existence". Something far out I do with inanimate objects. Suddenly as I turned it in my hand it all fell into place. It perfectly fit into the palm of my hand with the inner curvature of the shape nestled snuggly against the heel of my inner hand. The very sharp edge protruding out a uniform distance from my clenched hand with my four fingers underneath the bottom half my thumb running along the top of the upper half. I made a swishing pulling toward me kind of action and immediately recalled in my mind the rabbit and deer I would skin when I was younger knowledgeable of my true self or the fish I still deboned at that age of my known self. I marveled imagining how perfectly fit how efficiently a tool I held-a multiple as the sharper edge would skin any small game even deer, the inner curve less sharp but by no means blunt a perfect scraper to help straighten arrow shafts. Pocketing it after an impressed feeling of a native California populations ingenuity I picked up the small plastic grocery bag I'd filled with bottle caps and what not ie; bits of glass scraps of paper etc. When suddenly the etc. jumped out and almost made me cry. Here was this self touted amazing technology of ours- this razor knife from the Home Depot more than likely only about a 1/4 mile away useless trash having never or hardly being used-garbage litter polluting our environment our Children's environment their childrens children's. Modern civilized man had maybe accidentally dropped it one night looking for a place to stay warm in this area but dropped or thrown UT was easily recognized as trash. But in my pocket- a no doubt often used how many miles carried trusted relied on tool of perfection. How old 10,000 20,000 for some reason 80,000 years old popped into my head. Yet now tomorrow next week I could take this tool and use it to do what it was meant to-do easily I dare say more effectively than with any modern wonder of technology. Made by a savage man. Well a real man maybe us being cheap imitation copies and the real savages to mother nature. Which further struck me with marvel a modern man however drops his tool less than 2 years later it's quickly recognized as useless trash rendered useless for its original purpose. This wonderful object of engineering this ancient cutting/scraping.is recognized immediately for what it is a unique part of nature just another rock in our dear mother earth but on closer discernment a tool of her earliest inhabitants made with a lingering aura of reverence for her still imbued within it a gratitude for her love and a respect for her awesomeness. Al these feelings I could now detect as. I gazed on it again with a new found dumbfounded wonder while holding it coming from it but also from within me.i thought early native man was a stud one of mother earth's champions. As I walked away I thought what a beautiful testament this tool and it's user walked this earth together . His only monument he left not even erected in his passing was his return tmother ea
Chart should sat Chert physician should say Obsidian. I guess the language "experts" consider that word a myth along with that trickster Coyote
Version said EROSION KNOWLEDGEABLE SAID UNKNOWLEDGEABLE
Yes how amazing that everything they used was originally made by mother nature. And when they finished with it, it returned to mother nature again. No pollutants.
@@leahmurray666 yes and what further struck me knowing themselves to also be part if the grand scheme of things just quietly filtered away back to their "mother" while we over crowd Our selves today with tombstones and mausoleum of granite even erecting a giant statue of liberty while their only monuments were themselves. They stood for liberty the way they walked their walk not the talk they talked but... I'd say we're all just products of the environment we're born into so...times change.
Australian aboriginals had the same tools and they still use them today . Xox

Out indigenous Australians used a similar item called a Woomera I believe
Shawn Woods recreated Ötzis weapons and equipment,and he rraveled to visit the find location also, very good channel to have a look at.
You burned history bec of believes you dont even know he had. How did he look like . History deserves ro be learned.
Hope they don't bother the mummy too much or else face the wrath of the mummies curse.
Weird how they keep alluding to fast freezing weather without saying it.
Australian Aboriginal people still to this day use those spear darts 🙏🏽
No mate, they use guns and steel spears they bought at the sports store like everybody else does.
Lovely
Your with you
38:34 says Otsi is 3300 years old but i thought he was 5300 so 3300 bc
Mother earth and his return to her of the rock he borrowed from her to make his life a bit easier. No giant headstone no trash no Statue of liberty just an undying forever remaining love and gratitude for her. And it wasn't brittle I should have said of "low tensile strength instead cuz I dropped it while washing it off at home . it never broke even after striking on the hard bathroom floor
36:50 Is when they get to the mummy
That older lady’s breathy, baby voice is do grating.
Clearly, the makers of his documentary have never in their lives seen an animal that was taken by Harold or gun. These animals taken with a atlantal will not drop immediately. These hunters would’ve had to track them for minutes hours or even days after they were wondering.
Those 1st nation ppl are ridiculous.
Any sign of blood on the shafts yet
if there was metal involved it was not indian related they never made it past the stone age
Thanks for doing DNA!!!!
THAT MUMMY GO YAH YEET 😂🔥🗿
why do the natives automatically claim everything as their ancestors when they were hunter gatherers and always on the move? they don't know who left behind those artifacts, whoever it was it was sure as shit not their ancestors 4500yrs ago. there was prob 1000 different groups or tribes that hunted on that mountain over the past 2 millennium .. but everything on it belongs to that one modern group? highly doubt it.
Halfway thru and not a mummy in sight
Change the title. This is so much more interesting than the title suggests,
Truth of these still not really known
I learned that my mitochondrial DNA is Sami but my ancestors didn't complete the full migration North. It's amazing what science is teaching us about our history as humans but also as individuals with a connection to that history.
Anyone with eyes can see that climate change is real, the only debate should be about the cause. When I was a kid it was normal to get 2-3 feet of snow on the local hills during Winter, but now it's closer to 2-3 inches! Thunderstorms are almost extinct now! Again when I was a kid, I was lucky enough to see 'Ball lightning' inside my house, but now, a distant rumble of thunder is about the best I can hope for :( These snow patches are an absolute goldmine for archaeologists! Real shame that the cause of them melting is a potential problem for the planet!
Wait climate change is why I barely see storms:((((
A lot of things are misleading nowadays that's just a world we live in
Cremated him?! that is such a loss of insight into past. Why it is always a battle with indigenous people, no matter the area in the world? Weather Maori or people of Hawai or those here in Yucon. I've seen so much of similar documentaries and it's so sad for me that so many artefacts/bones/mummies are being buried forever just because some indigenous people have a tradition. Don't get me wrong, I love that there are still such groups, they're needed but why cremate such important piece of history/their history?
This is the same video from a couple of months ago, literally nothing to do with ice mummies, click bait.
Australian First Nation peoples used these for 40,000 years and still use them today to catch fast moving kangaroo
Lots more new finds will happen with Global Warming melting Ice...Greenland used to be in a completely different latitude as are many other areas that are presently in arctic/antarctic conditions...
Oh dear! They burned the mummy.
Who is the person narrating .
Don't these men wear gloves when handling these artifacts?
Are they archeologists?
Very unprofessional!
Australian Aborigines call that spear launching device a Woomera.
The ice is melting away? Ok good? So plants and animals can live there again where before it was a frozen wasteland.
It's only been 125 years ago since the caribou disappeared, therefore it's been 125 years since they were hunted. If it's only been that long, climate change has little to do with the discovery of artifacts. They're just digging more and there is better technology.
Something changing in the environment. But based on what? In 2023 The Thames froze for the first time in 60 years so how does that tie in with global warming? There were times when next to the river Thames were animals like are found in Africa. I read about the 14th, 16th, and 17th centuries there were sudden periods of cold long winters. Who knows what will happen. It might be warm or cool. In a short time, it could be another ice age. No one can predict.
Wasn't aware the ice age was so recent. Lol. Nice misleading title
Does that mean that there was no ice a few thousand years ago? If there still is some ice there now , they must have been burning even more fosil fuels back then for the place to remain ice free. So they suposedly have become climat friendly and it has froze until now? Is my understanding correct? We have to find the evidence of taxes which have changed the things back then. aspecialy the tax rate so we get it right quickly
So several thousands of years ago the axis of the world shifted a few degrees and it caused major changes in climate all over the world. Egypt changed from a lush landscape to a dessert and places where there formerly was no ice got covered by glaciers. Also in general global climate change isnt really anything new, we can see in ice layers a layer full of carbon from where our neolithic ancestors started burning away forests to make way for farming.

This is a great article I do reccomend giving it a read!
It was ice for the past 150,000 years probably
the fact is we don't know sh...t about anything.Botto line is:there was no ice once and there is an ice now. Clearly we are not a problem,seams to work in cycles and that makes sense ,not like the man made climate change BS
Kind of a misleading title. ...and not exactly shocking that a thousand years ago people were hunting in alaska
We ar att the very end of a ice age and ppl ar surpriced when the ice melts facepalm
These finds are too old for them to be artifacts of their ancestors, as the present day First Nations were not yet here at those dates. The present day First Nation people are fairly newcomers....not arriving here till well after 1200 AD.
Do you have some sources about this? I would love to read about the history of the first nations people as I dont know much about america!
Narcissistic attention-seeking behaviour should never get in the way of science. Any body over 100 years old belongs to science.
Mummy was dabbing on newbs when killed.
This dude died in an avalanche
It's so logic, because God destroyed the world with a flood, and saved Noah, his wife and his 3 children with their wives in the Arch, and all the dead bodies were drifting over the earth. Finally some of them drifted to the poles and were frozen in.
Very misleading title...no mummy at all.
So they come from a time when earth was warmer.
The lower parts of Florida are coral reef that only grows underwater.
Coral reefs need co2 to build its structure. Calcium carbide.
The great salt lake is sea water.
Ice core samples show there was a lot more co2 in the air way back, before fossil fuel.
We're being suckered ppl.
@@bharnden7759
CO2 is the 2nd most important gas for all life on earth.
No. It was colder.
@@kaiasdogmom
The stuff was under ice that had been there for 5000 yrs. only getting back too the temperature it was then. Not trees no game too hunt. It had too be warmer
Atlatl are still used by aborigines in Australia.
