In China they found mummy that was perfectly preserved with skin and organs intact and even hair, ancient world was amazing and full of surprises
A prehistoric horse preserved with liquid blood even! 😮
@@TakeavakaytoOttestadHedmark Found what I saw. Not prehistoric but:
"42,000-Year-Old Foal Entombed in Ice Still Had Liquid Blood in Its Veins"
"Called the Lena horse (Equus caballus lenensis), this ice age foal was found in the Batagaika Crater in eastern Siberia and is thought to have been just 2 months old when it died, likely by drowning in mud."
Ok I guess "prehistoric" is valid:
"What are the prehistoric time periods?
The Prehistoric Period-
or when there was
human life before
records documented
human activity-roughly dates from 2.5 million years ago to 1,200 B.C. It is generally categorized in three archaeological periods: the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age."
That's pretty cool. We can get baseline environmental readings from those preserves as well as information on the exact specific types of fruits maybe get these heirloom varieties going again in popularity
Ooh maybe we can bring these old fruits and berries back from 200 years ago 👀
wtf
Wow!! 200 years old and perfectly preserved😮
I know, right? We could (should) learn a thing or two… 😊
MY WORD I hope they keep some jarred intact.
Wow! GW was brilliant! His cherries, so it seems have a linger shelf life than a Twinkie!
"Researchers removed the contents of each bottle to refrigerate them." Yeah, before eating them.
Shes not gonna hesitate, She is going to say YAAAAS..But she wont fuck with last years thin mints.
I'd definitely eat those thin mints & at least taste some drops of the cherry juice..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ikr😅
250y/o cherries with no preservatives; but not 1y/o cookies full of them???
I bet they would go well with mammoth steak.
Wow, this changes everything. Thanks, news.
Alriiiiiiiiight ! .. Cherry Wine ...
Thank's George ! 😀
...Hey ...wait a second ... Oh my goodness .. George was a Bootliquor Bootlegger 😯🇺🇲🎇🎆🇺🇲 ...he was runnin' cherry wine 😂 WoW !
...no wonder his Father was pissed off !
...He was hiding it too 😂
Happy 4th of July huh !!! 😂
It all indicate's his Father found out and chopped them cherry tree's right down himself !!! 😁 ...then sent poor ol' George off to military school and made him join the service right after 😂
Oh how story's get bent and twisted !!!
Maybe that's how George's teeth went so bad ... .. .. too much taste testing that sugary' cherry wine 😉 ...
The truth alway's come's to light doesn't it ! 😀
Might be (cherry bounce) moon shine 🤭
this is berry interesting
cant hear about the things they found, instead they want to do a lame comedy routine
No tihs! I call BS as we didnt get to see ANYTHING!
Even wine goes bad over too much time.
I can not tell a lie. I preserved the cherries for cherry wine 200 years later
Wouldn’t that be Honest Abe?
Why are they digging up his house?
for cherries 🍒
Knowing the time period I would say probably preserved in brandy 👍
Favorite drink of the Washington family is this one for Cherry Bounce, a brandy-based drink popular in the eighteenth century.
Remarkably one case was signed by Joe Biden.
Too funny, but didn't you know Biden came over on the Ark on a bicycle
Reports say Nancy was already 47 at the time
one case was signed by trump people are saying they’re the best cherries ever far better than george washington’s measly little cherries. in fact george washington wasn’t even the first president that’s fake news, Trump was and Trump brand cherries are yuuuge, you can buy an original cherry signed by Trump right now for only $189.99
You wouldn’t eat an expired cookie that’s not even a year old but preserves that may or may have not been properly sealed? Someone’s gots dumz brains
Not to mention the hygiene practices from back then too. 🤮
Seeds are planted, they do not expire.
If Washington were alive today, I’m sure he would be ashamed of this government.
😢
100% guarantee it. The founder's warned us about the criminals we have nowadays.
Why is him chopping down a Cherry tree considered a myth?
Y'all know a Cherry tree is small and can be chopped down easily even by a child?
It gon' git ya drunk
Imagine how amazing it would be to eat cherries that George and Martha Washington grew and preserved. Just to have that historical connection would be a real rush.
I WANT SOME!!
So you have chosen death. 😅
I'm so sure he did the canning😂😂😂😂😂
Washington stood at the stove himself canning
Haha, it was his slaves.
Let's get real. It was his slaves who canned NOT him. Don't be naive people
Nobody cares
Thats a testament to the knowledge of the people he held in bondage.
Awesome auction some bottles
I hope the scientists are allowed to taste a cherry "for science." Very important to know how they tasted! 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒
It's cherry vinegar after all this time.
Did anyone try them?
also 200 years or more from now archaeologist will also find unearth well preserved Lewinski blue dress at the Clinton's mansion
😆
😂😂😂
You can eat the canned stuff.
Got to have the liquor
Who's gonna try that
I think you should try it tbh
George didn't "like to can", he liked to have his Slaves can!!!
You're Welcome 😊
So he did cut down the cherry tree and here's the proof
That's fascinating to me, 🤗😊
good❤
Wait until they find all the bodies…
No he didn't cut down the cherry tree. Must have cut cutting.
Yeah dude, those are cookies with an expiration date. Why even ask that on your "social media" page?🤷
0:07 😊😊
What next will they dig up his body and parade it around town jeeze
I wouldnlove to try George Washington's fruits
Wait a minute ... im calling BIG BULLSHIT
Is the fruit gonna be canceled for being racist? Asking for a friend.
That "friend" should get a life
Why are you suspected white supremacists so corny?
We are going to believe that the plastic bag cover will be spotless clean while the bottle is complete stain and dirty? The plastic bag would decay after 50 years having dirt on top.
Not the smartest peanut in the turd, huh ?! History Lesson: the first plastic was invented in 1907
@@LittlePieceOfHeaven.65yeah and we are talking about George Washington who died in 1799. That plastic was added by us after it was found.
HaHaHaHa yeah that 230 yr old plastic bag caused Victor from Malawhateverthefuck to have a stroke and forget about the entire industrial revolution. Why don't we just eat the bag and tell everyone it was the first president?
I love it, plastic just after the Revolutionary War, ooookay sparky.
Ahhahahahahahaha The plastic was added by archeologists.
When you all going to stop lieing to the people GOD is going to judge
