The noble aristocracy of Europe did indeed develop something of an appetite (at least, from a medicinal point of view) for the flesh of Egyptian mummies. And nibbling on the deceased body parts of some ancient Egyptian whose name they probably couldn’t even pronounce was indeed something all the cool kids were doing. Well, assuming you had a headache, or an infection, or a life threatening disease… or maybe you were just trying to fit it? In any case, a well-off European might not have worried, because it was nothing a little powdered skull couldn’t fix.
But what was it that would drive these ‘paragons of western society’ to indulge in what was effectively cannibalism?

I saw this a while ago and wonder if this is what really started the Black Plague, Justinian Plague, and bubonic plague…the disease called KURU which comes from cannibalism is similar to those. Sores, sickness, shaking, etc.
Did you know that when he was on his deathbed, King Charles II paid Oliver Cromwell’s doctor, Jonathan Goddard, a handsome sum for the coveted formula of his drops which later came to be known as ‘King’s Drops’. The secret ingredient in this tincture? A powder consisting of five pounds of crushed human skulls. Goddard, also a chemist by profession, peddled this concoction as Goddard’s Drops, a supposed miracle cure for any and all ailments.
It makes sense. Complete sense.
EUROPEAN: I need to eat this mumia
UNCLE ROGER: Haiya! No MSG!
Good one
I really love your artwork ❤
💀☠"MUMMY MIA"☠💀

Great channel! I love how you incorporate animation w historical facts to attract the youngin's
Amazing what a simple mistranslation can lead to.
Cannibalism was very common in Europe up to around 1900 and still practiced by a few to this day. It's also very common around the world to this day. Very sad.
I just clicked the notification and I'm currently eating (pizza, not mummies). I wonder if I should wait to watch this?
Keep in mind that mummified Romans was also a thing!
Teach them of Esau-Edom.
More got ground up for fertiliser there where that many at the time it was quite lucrative
Cats seem like they would eat more mummies let's be honest here, I mean they eat humans.
Cats: "We eat dead humans to protect dead humans from being eaten by live humans".
Stephen the great Moldova biography please make video
The linen the mummy's were wrapped in was used as butcher paper for wrapping meat.
Mummy food...sounds worse than roadkill cooking!!!
Europeans just lost all right to criticize any food created in the US.
So cannibalism was common amoung the aristocracy? Hmmm.
Sources ? I'm trying to do a comics about this phenomenon and I NEED tangible proof and Sources, the informations you are saying are important but however I can't seem to find any articles with that much details
I've heard about this it was even fashionable to have mummy unwrapping parties and they even ground up mummies and sold it in a powder. History is nasty😂
Would they consider themselves cannibals??
They would create a workaround because of feelings.
This is why we can't find mummy's in the pyramids. 😂 they ate them all
Mumia powder mixed with goat 🐐 milk = a week of essential nutrients
Oh that's what going natural means.
I would try mummy flesh. From what I understand, it was basically jerky
Im not sure why, but i scanned the title quickly and i thought it said, "historical calories"...😂😂😂
Thanks for the video they were very weird back then 🤮 cannibals is sick but eating the dead that's even worse
But eating the living is a-okay
Absolutely disgusting
In the nineties when I was a kid I can remember my grandma buying "mummy in powder" on a local market from russian people
Mumja w proszku
In Spanish mummy is momia
God that's gross
ooh pharaoh alamode yummy!
Funny how they didn't consider it demonic or pagan (or just nasty) to do that. Whatever the rich got up to, the church might just look the other way.
WOW! Just when I thought I heard it all. Just when I thought nothing can surprise me i'm hearing about this. I heard of cannabilism, I even heard of people having sex with dead people I think is called necrophilia, but i've never heard of anyone eating dead people especially mummies 🤢😂 oh my God mankind is crazy.
mmm... jerky
Odd
I guess it's a good way to recycle your body.
Yes it shows you how these white Europeans truly felt about Egypt.
Or, just how poorly documented they were on the subject. I bet King Tutankhamun's body would have been the gift that kept on giving had he been served at a party, given his curse.
And they are still poorly educated on the subject of ancient Egyptians,telling descendants they aren’t descendants…
Hadn't been to the channel in a while, but saw the title and subtly thought to myself "What the ****?"
Guaranteed many ppl died from Kuru or the Laughing death, all from eating human meat 🤢🤮
Nothing is sacred to some.

Europeans were eating the corpse of mummies for 400+ years in the name of pseudoscience yet they claim to be descendants of ancient Egyptians 😂
I mean... you are what you eat? 😅
I vote freaks on the street.
The thumbnail🤣🤣🤣
The deceased would never have thought that Hundreds of years later someone will be enjoying their bodies in dinner
