    It's pretty sad. Dying just before you become one of the greatest inventors in history. Having your son killed because he tried to protect your legacy. It's depressing.

      I know right. For some reason i feel sadder about this story more then other stories covered on this show. Probably because this story wasn't all down, this man probably was feeling on top of the world when he was kidnapped and most certainly killed.

    People Edison stole from:
    -Tesla
    -Joseph Swan, the ACTUAL inventor of the lightbulb
    -Louis LePrince
    -Wilhelm Rontgen, inventor of the XRay machine
    -Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, inventor of the sound recorder
    EDIT: To everyone saying that Rontgen received credit, it is true, but as soon as Edison heard that such an idea was possible, he tried to build his own X-ray machine with the intent on taking credit from Rontgen. He stopped working on his X-ray machine when it killed his assistant Clarence Dally. Thankfully everyone still acknowledges who the real inventor was but it could’ve easily went the other way

    • @Pbg_Gonefishing
      @Pbg_Gonefishing 4 года назад +212

      Before Joseph swan was Warren De la Rue who made the light bulb in 1840 but it wasn't economically cost efficient. But I agree plenty of people made it before Edison got the credit which is bogus.

      I don't think it's incorrectly taught for the most part. Rather different parts in the world will tell it differently depending on what side they were on and their perspective. Great example for this the 80 year war between Spain and the Netherlands. I was taught that us the dutch were finally free and spain was oppressing the dutch and mistreating them. But someone from spain might tell it differently. Really you'll get what really happened if you take all the sides and pick out all the facts that BOTH or more parties all agree up on

  • @LoneStarCowboy1
    @LoneStarCowboy1 4 года назад +346

    My theory is simple he was robed sometime after his brother saw him last, note that in 1890 and still today Paris was notorious for petty crime like theft and it was not unusual to be robed in Paris especially if you you were not from there. During the robbery, one or more men tried to steal his brief cases which probably escalated into some type of fight between Louis Le Prince and the robbers, probably because Louis knew that important documents were in the brief case and he did not want anyone to steal his idea. The fight probably ended with Louis beaten and the robbers angered after the discover only drawings and nothing in their minds of important value. Now angered and pissed off that Louis did not have anything important in their minds in his briefcase, they then probably proceeded to toss his briefcase and papers along with his either concision or unconscious body into the river. Due either to his injuries or unconscious Louis probably drowned.
    Note: the French police pulled a unidentified man who look very similar to Louis Le Prince from the Seine River the same day he went missing.

Not that it matters, but Louis was a large man standing at 6'4...

    Side Note:- In 2003, the Paris Police, while going through old archives discovered a photograph of a man who strongly resembled Louis Le Prince drowned in a river near to the tracks where the train Le Prince boarded was supposed to be going through, its most likely Edison's men stole his suitcase in the train itself and threw him out of the train into the river, the date on the photograph was also written around late Sept 1890, around the time Le Prince disappeared.

    • @LunaDelTuna
      @LunaDelTuna 6 лет назад +232

      Exactly! Tesla's electricity was supposed to be free and energy efficient. Edison's direct current (combustible) electricity is actually harmful to the environment in comparisons to Tesla's alternating current which was in a sense using the electromagnetic fields of the earth in a way that was harmless. Also, the reason Edison's idea won over Tesla's is because people would have to be charged to use it, meaning more money for the people providing it. If you are interested you should look up the Ancient Egyptian pyramids, solely the middle one where scientists are starting to believe it was used as a type of electricity for the civilization, JUST like Tesla's tower.

      Because he wasn't going to charge people to use it, like I clearly stated earlier. People (by people I mean the one's controlling our technology) don't want to provide us free anything because then they would not be making any money. It's pretty simple.

THERE IS ALSO A BIG POSSIBILITY THAT THIS SPECIFIC KIND OF CRAFT HAS ALREADY BEEN EXISTING WITHIN SOME SECRET POWERFUL FAMILIES WITH KNOWLEDGE AND CAPABILITY INHERITED FROM THEIR GREAT GREAT GRANDPARENTS SINCE THE FAR ANCIENT PAST, PROBABLY EVEN BEFORE THE GREAT WORLDWIDE FLOOD. THE PRE-FLOOD HUMAN CIVILIZATION WAS VERY POWERFUL AND OVERWHELMINGLY SOPHISTICATED BECAUSE THEY HAD THE 200 ANGELS, AND CHILDREN OF THE 200 ANGELS, LIVING AMONGST THE WHOLE HUMANITY.

    As someone who has gotten their poems almost stolen, I can assure you it hurts a lot when someone else takes the credit for your creation.

    DO A VIDEO ON “TWO PRINCES IN THE TOWER”
    It’s been unsolved for over 500 years! Prince Edward and prince Richard, heirs to england. Edward was locked in the tower waiting to get crowned, Richard there for moral support, both vanished and no one really knows what happened

      Omg that's such a good idea!!! I'm british and I learned about the princes in the tower in primary school. It is, in my opinion, one of the best unsolved mysteries of all time. It's so confusing!!!
