I find the idea of these Egyptian mummy unwrapping dinner parties captivating, having a mummy as a centrepiece, unwrapped and eaten, their bones crushed up and smoked. The Victorian and Edwardian view on mortality is fascinating! Great topic Kevin with some very interesting stories! I really enjoy these unusual tales you find!
I'm in the state of Maine, in the USA.Years ago in a small town antique shop.was displayed the mummy of a woman .Supposedly she was a minor.noble woman .How this poor lady ended up in a New England shop.Ive no idea, The shop is gone now. .What became of the lady Ive no idea .I hope.she was taken somewhere safe and respectful.
what a curse. Instead of learning chemistry, science, math or skills I watch old fogey history programs about how grave robbers robbed graves. and its what I want to watch. makes me so sad sometimes.
Nothing better than seeing a History Squad video come out just as my lunch hour begins! Happily dug into a greggs and learned some history, it was a good lunch. Great work Mr.Hicks. I saw you at Warwick Castle as a young teen, now I'm watching you on RUclips as a lawyer. How time flies, and history is created.
Mr.Hicks, I Love history but, you offer me more than history. You offer me a glimpse into the past. A way to see the world through the eyes of the time. Not to judge but, to gain a bit of understanding. For one day someone will look back to see the time I live in and I pray someone like you, Mr.Hicks, is there to give them a glimpse into our mindset. God Bless!
"Now before I go, A little curio And if I open the lid Ah yes, a chocolate!" That rhymed well enough to go along with the poem! Not sure if it was intentional, but I couldn't help but smile 🍫💀I love your channel!
I’m a lover of history. The way you tell the stories you tell is why I enjoy your channel the most. As a former USArmy MP, and a retired American Police Officer/Crime Scene Investigator I can relate to some of your stories. Thank you for doing this channel.
I don't know if it's just where my parents took me, but I remember having a vivid memory of visiting England and Scotland in the 90s like every place we visited had somebody like you to tell how grizzly something or another was back in the day. I was kinda disappointed that I didn't see any of that when I visited again - maybe I just got lucky that time. I'm glad you're around to give me just a little top up of the macabre and historical.
Morals and ethics are for the heart and soul, and money is for everything else in this world. As long as people are living hard lives in lack and scarcity, cold cruelty becomes an easier decision, as one bad deed often leads to another, like a snowball
You reminded me of the time I was in Germany in the 1970s. Those curtains in red light bars. I had a girlfriend who worked in a red light bar. She told me she only talked to men when she went behind the curtains. She said " I'm known as the listener" It must have been six months before I realised that she had lied to me. I was so innocent in those days. Many thanks for the good memories.
I saw you on a time team documentary being a bad ass longbowmen. I thought, “hey, that’s the History squad!” So cool to see you there. Your channel is in my top 5, I can listen to your content for hours.
@@bostonrailfan2427 I wish I could tell you the episode but I’ve watched so many, I can’t recall the exact video. Kevin was demonstrating archery on a pig carcass. I’ll try to find it.
@@bostonrailfan2427 sure thing. If you search “Kevin Hicks archery” or “Kevin Hicks history” you’ll find quite a few great videos across multiple channels of Mr. Hicks sharing his knowledge. You might come across what you’re looking for.
You're like a modern "Jack Hargreaves" Of "out of town " 1970s TV ..... Always interesting little snippets of fascinating historical facts....thank you for making me feel like a kid again.
Reminds me of the story of American President Benjamin Harrison finding his father's (son of former US president W.H. Harrison, Granddad of B.H.) dead corpse in a hospital, after helping a friend look for his own father's stolen corpse. It cause big uproar in the US.
Man I had a world history teacher back in the seventies who could really tell a story. He’d seen a lot in ww2 and spent a lot of time talking about that. I feel like I’m back in Mr Dickerson’s class, feels good!
Yesss Kevin thank you for uploading today. You’ve made my day a little less doom and gloom. Thank you for all the things you and your son have taught me the last two years. I thank you for being in my life tho we may not know each other. You make me smile and chuckle when most don’t. Don’t stop what you’re doing please I would hate for everyone who feels the same way about you to one day no longer have the ability to learn from you and learn to have a great respect for history and all the little wacky things along the way. Thank you Kevin you’re my English hero.
I'm so glad you picked this up Kevin (creating outstanding youtube videos), you're showmanship is top notch. This poem and the reading of the Christmas Carol are some of my favorite episodes.
So pleased that you mentioned Burke & Hare, this alone adds equity to your research, & although technically they weren't resurrection men par se, they came across their first corpse by accident, they found it easier to murder than actually dig up the recently deceased. Another great video Kevin, looking forward to the next with baited breath.
I’ve always loved that poem… hearing it spoken with the original British accent made it so eloquent. Thank you. With my bland north American pronunciation of certain words it changes the cadence. For example the word patent (2 different a sounds used).
Kevin and his models! Highly informative and entertaining video like always, served with a sprinkle with dark humor. Looking forward for the Burke and Hare video!
Human history, in all its fascinations, holds many dark places...which is an inevitiblility, knowing human nature as we do. I, as a child, had no knowledge of the practice of body snatching until I read Robert Louis Stevenson's story on the subject, and, subsequently, saw the Robert Wise film based on the story. When I was older, and pursuing my studies in criminal investigation and forensic science, I was not actually surprised (but still appalled) to learn that the practice of body snatching for profit was a very real thing. It went on here in the U.S. as well. One must wonder...how could someone violate the dead in such a horrific practice? But...as I have learned, if there is profit to be made, humans are quite capable of anything, no matter how horŕifying that may be! Another superb video, Mr Hicks...as always. Interesting to hear you viewed autopsies as a police officer. Wondering if you were a homicide investigator...if so, no doubt you were a great one! Learning so much great history from you, sir. Your videos are a joy to me. All the best to you, with thanks!
Oh Kevin, I really look forward to your videos, this one made me chuckle ( do I need to get out more?), your humour made was great! Please, please keep up the good work!
Waste not want not; saying comes to mind. That's what I like about this history site,it's the down to earth details of life back in the day.Looking back I see how things have changed. Another words another grisly/cheery story from Kev.ha,ha.haw.
@@thehistorysquad In the proper prose, my comment becomes a poem. The first I've attempted in at least twenty years. Results are ... well, inconclusive. :)
They became very skilled at stealing a corpse, using wooden shovels to dampen the noise, digging just half the grave, using the weight of the earth to break open half of the lid, then pulling out by the feet. One other thing.....what IS that 'peeking' out from the case in the background?!😂 Great video as always!
I love your models Kevin, you always put so much work into them! I have a terminal condition and I've been considering my passing. I think that this video totally confirms that I want cremated rather than buried! Thank you as always for your hard work
kevin, i am having a blast going through your videos! please please do more on medieval england, all the dark stories of struggle and how things were at the time is really interesting. the stories of kings and queens lives are like im watching a multi award winning tv drama or something. so so interesting, please keep em coming and i'll keep binging :p please go into the candle wax tax and maybe cover some topics on america and its independance from the british, but i would love a biased opinion from a british perspective. thanks mate, your work is top tier
Greetings once again from nova Scotia, that was great, I love the unending supply of history, and wealth of tales You have to draw from. Let's not forget kevins models, always wewelcome. Thanks Kevin. Best regards, Arthur
Gosh this was excellent! The infant fat candles my god 😳 Really didn’t know the crazy politics behind this. A sociological wonderland lol There is an older RPG called “Torment” that grows its storyline off of aspects of the Resurrection Men premise and it’s a bit disturbing now that I realize some of the story parallels after watching this. U may get a kick out of a summary description. This vid reminded me of a story about skull lichens. I bounced around a bit in your vids and didn’t see this topic but may have missed it. This moss was used for some sort of panacea and apparently had healing properties. Apparently this was a huge problem with grave robbery and I heard rumors of Irish people killed to cultivate this I’m uncertain if it’s true. All the articles that look interesting are seemingly behind paywalls or only for university access. Have u discussed skull lichens in a previous video? Thanks 4 another great vid mate ✌🏼
So glad that you taught many kids and sparked their Interest. And continue to do so each and every video. I’ve heard many of person talk about that one teacher. I hope you know how many brains you’ve inspired. 😊
When you wake up at 3.30 a.m. and can't get back to sleep, what you need is Kev's video on resurrectionists. Sterling work that makes insomnia all that more worthwhile. Good work Sir! Thanks 😂
The ingenuity of those people! This was fascinating in a morbid sort of way... Thank you for making and posting this video for us to learn from! Just curious, what do you do with all of those models when you're done with them?
Just discovered the channel and am very impressed! In Dublin by the way, the grave robbers were called "The Sack-em-ups". They were robbing on such an industrial scale they were exporting corpses to London and Edinburgh 😮
Kevin, thank you for the effort you put into every video ❤️ I always thought I hated history, but I realized I only hated it in school because it was so boring! Creators like you make history fun and engaging! So, thank you~ Your work is very much appreciated! 🤗 -Me, a random girl from rural Ohio, US 😂
Very interesting topic, and great video this far. In line with my hopes from last video, I'm putting the second run of basting stitches into my hose muslin. With luck they'll look less like a parachute now! Perhaps working to History Squad videos is a good luck charm for finding time in the week to continue.
I'm so happy I found your channel as I truly think you helped inspire my interest in British history when I visited Chepstow Castle with my school, and later Caerleon and Caerwent. Sometime in 05/06 I think!
How wonderful you showed EXACTLY how they removed the body...you have evidently read similar things to myself...its a fascinating subject ive had a interest in since i was around 10yrs old..i have so many facts and stories concerning these subjects. Yours is the first channel ive seen do justice to this..well done..very professionally created..your channel never fails..you really are one of the very best on youtube...thankyou on behalf of everyone and esp myself. 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Kevin, I've enjoyed watching your videos, and seeing them get better and better over time. I've learned a lot from you, and love your models and descriptions. You're a great story teller. Keep up the great work!
You've done it again Kev!! Fabulous video and I loved the poem. In those bygone days, was nothing sacred???? But I suppose in those days the furtherment of medical science and the care of the living was also an important factor. Digging up bodies is not a job I'd like though!! Really enjoyed it though mate! Dave.
Cheers Dave, we did wonder if we should include the poem as it was 6-7 minutes long, but felt it was too good to leave out. A nice way to finish if anyone wanted to hang around 😉
@thehistorysquad Well yes, but it was a nice story in poem form. I think, like myself, all the people who follow and support your great channel have great respect for you and have the decency to watch all your videos to the end. I think we all have the utmost respect for Julie too , who is obviously an essential part of the "History Squad" experience. I realised quite early on that Julie was a Diamond with total support and invaluable help with everything you have achieved. Dave.
I’m a big fan of these videos! I was wondering if you might consider uploading them to podcast platforms? I like to listen to these as I potter about with my day. :) I used to have a small podcast that was video first, and I found anchor really helpful as it let me upload once and it would propagate it to the sites. There’s probably other software now like it. I’m not sponsored by them or anything, I just am aware I’m asking for something and wanted to offer that as a suggestion to make it easier if you should choose to go down that path. :) Anyway, wonderful work! Thanks for all that you do!!!
Hi Mia, I have considered it, but can’t wrap my head around monetizing on Spotify or whatever and wouldn’t want to do it otherwise. There are only so many hours in our day, we don’t have the time to put into building an audience on another platform. If you have any insights that might help, feel free to message me via my website, the link will be in the description. Thanks 👍

I find the idea of these Egyptian mummy unwrapping dinner parties captivating, having a mummy as a centrepiece, unwrapped and eaten, their bones crushed up and smoked. The Victorian and Edwardian view on mortality is fascinating! Great topic Kevin with some very interesting stories! I really enjoy these unusual tales you find!
I'm in the state of Maine, in the USA.Years ago in a small town antique shop.was displayed the mummy of a woman .Supposedly she was a minor.noble woman .How this poor lady ended up in a New England shop.Ive no idea, The shop is gone now. .What became of the lady Ive no idea .I hope.she was taken somewhere safe and respectful.
The view was basically "everyone and everything else is there to entertain me"...
It was the Netflix of its day
And to think that my Mummy just drank her tea and stared at me.
No one does history like Kevin - just brilliant.
I’ll definitely second that, everyone should have a history teacher that so loves the subject

There is an older RPG called “Torment” that grows its storyline off of aspects of the Resurrection Men premise and it’s a bit disturbing now that I realize some of the story parallels after watching this. U may get a kick out of a summary description.
This vid reminded me of a story about skull lichens. I bounced around a bit in your vids and didn’t see this topic but may have missed it.
This moss was used for some sort of panacea and apparently had healing properties. Apparently this was a huge problem with grave robbery and I heard rumors of Irish people killed to cultivate this I’m uncertain if it’s true.
All the articles that look interesting are seemingly behind paywalls or only for university access.
Have u discussed skull lichens in a previous video? Thanks 4 another great vid mate ✌🏼
I haven’t no, but it’s something I’ll have a read into 👍
Thank you again, kevin, for another great history lesson. ❤
My pleasure!
So glad that you taught many kids and sparked their Interest. And continue to do so each and every video. I’ve heard many of person talk about that one teacher. I hope you know how many brains you’ve inspired. 😊
😊
Master storytelling!Loved the poem and the props!
Thanks for listening 👍🏻
Once again loving what you do Kevin, many thanks to both of you, keep them coming, we can't get enough.
Thanks again from, Dave and kelly
Cheers guys!
Loved this video Kev!! Would love to see you do a video showing how you make your models they are awesome!
Got in early - have a great weekend after this, Kev and all.
That’s the plan 😃
Your Patreon community is thriving. Fantastic! More content for all us history fans.
Yes! Thank you! We're so happy to have you onboard 👍🏻
@@thehistorysquad Don’t scream at me, Mr. Hicks.
Thank you for another very interesting tale of history. The poem reading at the end was very good. Cheers from Texas.
Glad you enjoyed it. It’s long but worth it 👍
Tack!
Thanks for the SUPER, I’m glad you enjoyed the video 👍
This channel is top notch ❤️🔥💯 thank you!!!
When you wake up at 3.30 a.m. and can't get back to sleep, what you need is Kev's video on resurrectionists. Sterling work that makes insomnia all that more worthwhile. Good work Sir! Thanks 😂
😂 My pleasure
The ingenuity of those people! This was fascinating in a morbid sort of way... Thank you for making and posting this video for us to learn from!
Just curious, what do you do with all of those models when you're done with them?
I try to repurpose them wherever I can and store some. You never know when you might need a different kind of gallows 😉
I'm sure you have quite a diverse collection , just hanging around .
Really interesting,and a bit gruesome,as you said. But it was well told ,and i did enjoy it ,thankyou😊
Geweldig, ik heb weer genoten van je verhaal, dankjewel!
I am so glad to have found this amazing channel!! Love your history. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Just discovered the channel and am very impressed!
In Dublin by the way, the grave robbers were called "The Sack-em-ups". They were robbing on such an industrial scale they were exporting corpses to London and Edinburgh 😮
Thanks very much. It’s incredible to think isn’t it 👍
Always happy to see another episode!
Thanks Hick's crew. Another great video 😊
One of your best yet!
Cheers!
Kevin, thank you for the effort you put into every video ❤️ I always thought I hated history, but I realized I only hated it in school because it was so boring! Creators like you make history fun and engaging! So, thank you~ Your work is very much appreciated! 🤗
-Me, a random girl from rural Ohio, US 😂
Lovely to hear, thanks over there in Ohio 👍
Excellent presentation! I LOVE your channel 😍
Thank you! Cheers!
This should be a TV series, it’s done so well. Brilliant
Thanks 👍🏻
Excellent! Very important medical and social history. Thank you for this. Anyone else would have butchered it. I'll see myself out...
😂 nice one Ginny.
Once again you have outdone yourself , digging up arcane topics and dissecting the most grizzly aspects of things past .
😜
Love the channel can't get enough, the details and horrific stories, but well meaning, looking forward for stuff😊
What a crazy story! Another amazing video for the morning!
Very interesting topic, and great video this far.
In line with my hopes from last video, I'm putting the second run of basting stitches into my hose muslin. With luck they'll look less like a parachute now! Perhaps working to History Squad videos is a good luck charm for finding time in the week to continue.
Good stuff, hope they work out 👍
☺️a new one to help me relax! thanks Kevin, nice work!
I'm so happy I found your channel as I truly think you helped inspire my interest in British history when I visited Chepstow Castle with my school, and later Caerleon and Caerwent. Sometime in 05/06 I think!
I'm so glad! I used to have great fun doing those tours 😊
Another great video Kevin and researched and presented in your usual high quality way, Thank you
Cheers Peter 👍🏻
What a great video. So thoughtful and educational. Slipped on an ear. Hilarious. The poem is a very special add- on. The chocolate,,superb.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
How wonderful you showed EXACTLY how they removed the body...you have evidently read similar things to myself...its a fascinating subject ive had a interest in since i was around 10yrs old..i have so many facts and stories concerning these subjects. Yours is the first channel ive seen do justice to this..well done..very professionally created..your channel never fails..you really are one of the very best on youtube...thankyou on behalf of everyone and esp myself. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Sol, that's really kind of you. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻
Hi Kevin, I've enjoyed watching your videos, and seeing them get better and better over time. I've learned a lot from you, and love your models and descriptions. You're a great story teller. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do 👍
As always amazing. Loved your reading of the poem. Amazing
Thanks for listening
Hello Kevin brilliant video you are definitely the number 1 man for this absolutely enjoyed it. Thank you. Can't wait for the next 1. Xxx 🌹🌹🌹
Cheers Karen 😊
Very interesting video, Sir!
Got yourself a new subscriber. Looking forward to more content.
❤ from the UK
Excellent. Thanks and welcome!
You've done it again Kev!! Fabulous video and I loved the poem. In those bygone days, was nothing sacred???? But I suppose in those days the furtherment of medical science and the care of the living was also an important factor. Digging up bodies is not a job I'd like though!!
Really enjoyed it though mate!
Dave.
Cheers Dave, we did wonder if we should include the poem as it was 6-7 minutes long, but felt it was too good to leave out. A nice way to finish if anyone wanted to hang around 😉
@thehistorysquad Well yes, but it was a nice story in poem form. I think, like myself, all the people who follow and support your great channel have great respect for you and have the decency to watch all your videos to the end. I think we all have the utmost respect for Julie too , who is obviously an essential part of the "History Squad" experience. I realised quite early on that Julie was a Diamond with total support and invaluable help with everything you have achieved.
Dave.
She is indeed and she's smiling happily now. Cheers Dave. @@davesheppard8797
Ohhhh, interesting subject!! Thank you, Kevin, for all these great videos. I told my sister about them yesterday and told her to start watching them!
Thanks for that! Always appreciate a share 👍🏻
I’m a big fan of these videos! I was wondering if you might consider uploading them to podcast platforms? I like to listen to these as I potter about with my day. :)
I used to have a small podcast that was video first, and I found anchor really helpful as it let me upload once and it would propagate it to the sites. There’s probably other software now like it.
I’m not sponsored by them or anything, I just am aware I’m asking for something and wanted to offer that as a suggestion to make it easier if you should choose to go down that path. :)
Anyway, wonderful work! Thanks for all that you do!!!
Hi Mia, I have considered it, but can’t wrap my head around monetizing on Spotify or whatever and wouldn’t want to do it otherwise. There are only so many hours in our day, we don’t have the time to put into building an audience on another platform. If you have any insights that might help, feel free to message me via my website, the link will be in the description. Thanks 👍
Thank you, Kevin! Excellent as always!
Thanks again!
Love your videos! I always think about how life was for people back then.
Kevin and the crew, keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks! Will do!
