When my youngest daughter was 6 or 7 she told me they had learned about Mummies in school and about how it was done. So, of course, I asked, "how is that?" To which she quickly responded, "well first, we need a dead body."
Since you named the title of the video such, I was expecting you to actually speak more than 45 seconds about little Rosalia . The truth is no mystery , her eyes are actually not entirely shut, but open just a slight. The rest of the effect is an optical illusion caused by the direction, and changing of the light in the room throughout different times of the day and month. Rosalia was removed from her original air tight glass enclosure several years ago , because it was found to have begun leaking air in , and mild mold had begun to grow on her. She was Re entombed in an entirely vacuum sealed , modern glass casket which is completely environmentally controlled. During this procedure, scientists had the opportunity to clean her up a bit , and discover the reason for the eye mystery.
I was OBSESSED with all things ancient Egypt as a child, and thus, mummies as well. I don't remember how it started, but I'm surprised my parents weren't completely freaked out and actually continued to buy me books about mummification. At age 19, I went on a study trip to Sicily with my school and naturally, we also visited the catacombs. Loved it. It certainly is kinda weird, if you think about it. But it's indeed remarkable how well preserved some of them are!
Imagine your corpse going through and surviving two World Wars, potential world nuclear annihilation, and other disasters and you are still in one piece.
@@ZelenskyPlane yeah and I must admit again that your unfoetunate lack of originality make your reply hella cringe 😬 the original commenter corrected his sentence at least, which is nice
The mummy has achieved further notoriety for a phenomenon in which her eyes appear to open and close several times a day, revealing her intact blue irises. In response to speculation about her moving eyelids, Piombino-Mascali stated that "It's an optical illusion produced by the light that filters through the side windows, which during the day is subject to change ... [her eyes] are not completely closed, and indeed they have never been". - Wikipedia
@@johnnymnemonic69 makes brilliant sense! In the 1980's on Ripley's believe it or not, Jack Palance even said her skin was still supple. which could account for her eyelids moving due to sunlight's daily heat reflecting from the glass eyes. But then our ideas will always sound stupid to others.
It's so sad seeing baby rosalia in person. She literally looks like she's just sleeping. Of course the catacombs are pretty creepy but I would say well worth a visit. It's a shame the vatican destroyed all information regarding how rosalia was embalmed because they considered it heresy. It would be amazing to know how she is so perfectly preserved. She was such a beautiful little girl and she looks like how you'd imagine a cherub would look with the rosy cheeks and curly blonde hair
I've been there, and I've visisted all the seven sections of the catacombs, including the colatoio, and Rosalia's coffin. The air was so dry and full of dust I couldn't enjoy the visit much but it surely had a huge impact on me! First off, as you enter the place, you're immediately welcomed by an infinite corridor of hanged skeletons and mummies, then, as you walk your way throughout the place, there are cages and small sections. If you ask me, the most terrific one is the children section. I had chills, that definitely scared me. The virgins buried in their section were all crowned with flowers and then you have Rosalia's small coffin right in the center of the last section and it's astonishing. She looks so alive it looks like she's about to open her eyes and talk!
As a proud Sicilian and native of Palermo, I admit that I had chills run down my spine when I heard that "Palmero" even though it's spelled out in a quite distinctive way. Happy to see that someone is still interested in Rosalia though :)
@Oke Ihenacho To be fair, the word "colatoio" is troublesome even for some native speakers so yes, I would agree with you in considering it way more forgivable.
"Honey past it's sell by date" honey never goes bad, you may need to drop the jar into boiling water and leave it there for a bit to kill any microbes in it but honey never goes bad it just cristalizes. There have been archaeologists that have eaten 3000 year old honey from Egyptian tombs and it was fine XD
Buddy I think honey is frequently removed from store shelves before it crystallizes. Crystallized honey is, uh. Past its sell-by date. Not its eat-by date. 😝

Rosalia wasn't quite 2 years old yet when she died, she would've turned 2 a week after her death (like literally 7 days, she died on december 6th and her birthday was december 13th). It's really sad. I wonder what her life would have been like if she'd lived. Poor little Rosalia. Also, while we're on the subject of mummies, can you do an episode on the children of llullaillaco? The child sacrifices and their bodies' preservation are both very sad and very fascinating.
@@angryatheist No, the children of llullaillaco were most definitely child sacrifices. They walked a thousand miles away from cuzco to mount llullaillaco, were drugged up with alcohol and coca leaves, and then they were killed once they got there. They did not die of natural causes. Those children walked up that mountain knowing that they were going to die.
I watched the entire video and then when he mentioned it, I remembered that I clicked the video to find out why the corpse blinks. I'm not sure I'm complimenting or simply annoyed, but this man has his way to keep the viewers interested!
Would that be Christmas music being played at a mall while getting your presents wrapped? Do they still do that? The last time I actually saw it was probably the early 90s.
I've been in the catacombs and saw her there; she really was a beautiful little girl and it's amazing how well they preserved her. When I was there they still didn't know how he did it and believed he kept the secret to his death. It was kind of sad seeing all the families and especially the kids, but it was an interesting experience.
How wonderful the RUclips algorithm is to always recommend me videos like this... specifically and only when it's late at night... and right before bed.
I wanted to be mumified and kept in my next of kin's living room. I asked to be decorated for the holidays, which means I'm already set for Halloween. But none of the coroners will get back to me on it.
Coroner’s don’t preserve bodies. They simply exam them, usually to find a cause of death. The joke would be better if you changed it to “the local mortuary” won’t get back to me.
Got the chance to live in Sicily for 3 years and actually visited that catacombs, its crazy to see something on RUclips that not a lot people get the opportunity to do and actually relate because you've actually witnessed it.
The Capuchin Catacombs is one of the spookiest places on earth. A chance to face death up close and think about life. Go to Palermo, it's a fascinating city. The puppets, the strange architecture, the street food, and this haunted place made it even better than Rome for me. And that's saying quite a bit.
@@Booklat1 In my personal opinion, the best way to experience culture is to go to where the locals eat and live their regular lives outside of tourist traps. The culture of a place is seldom relative to what you find in museums and art galleries. But, to each their own.

Interesting fact…. Honey, if sealed properly is one of the only foods on earth that can be stored indefinitely due to the high levels of natural preservatives. So if the Egyptians had sealed the canisters properly, it could still be eaten today🤷🏻♂️🤤🍯
I feel like a lot of the titles and thumbnails attached to these videos could be viewed in some respect as click bait, based on the fact that its a 15 min vid and he only addresses the topic in the title for a couple mins near the end. BUT with that said the rest of the run time is always entertaining and incredibly informative. I’m a huge fan, dramatic titles or not 😂
Despite not being a fan of morbid things, that's a place I feel like I'd like to visit, some day. And then immediately regret doing it on the same night and the subsequent nights due to the nightmares I'll likely have, but still... sounds like an interesting experience to be had at least once in life.

Fun fact mummy brown is an oil paint that has been banned from use for a long time because actual mummy bits were ground up and added to it for the color development
Mcdonald's food is mummified, too. In 1000, years, the only proof of our society will be McD's food that still looks the same as the day it was cooked.
I’ve been watching your videos since you started RUclips so glad to still be watching to this day, keep it up honest one of the best RUclipsrs out here
Original title "Why Does This 100-Year-Old Corpse Blink Twice Every Day?". Ngl, I thought he'd change the title of the video like 5 times when posting this.
Fun fact: the honey found in Egyptian tombs is still perfectly safe to eat because honey literally does not expire. Like ever. If it crystallizes you just heat it up a little bit and it's good as new.
I had an idea for a comedic action mummy/zombie-themed film/cartoon where we have an undead mummy that awakens, everyone at first thinks it's an evil monster terrorizing people... but plot twist it's one of the good guys trying to save the living from the creepy real villains and their ancient necromancer leader, basically, this mummy becomes a sort-of supernatural superhero and revealed to be a part of a legendary team of ancient preserved heroes now known as the 'Zombie-Warriors'...
Look up the web series/comic _Xombie_ (yes spelled with the X), it has a similar, although very different, premise. At the very least it may inspire your idea.
That sounds like the 2003 cartoon series Tutenstein, where a teenage pharaoh dies, is embalmed as a mummy and wakes up in 21st century as a museum attraction after a teenage girl and her cat accidentally bump into his sarcophacus.
@@UmbraBlades Wow, nearly forgot about that series. I'm not sure which country you're from but the title I remember it as is "Mummies Alive". Exact same cartoon though.
I've been to the catacombs of San Francisco under Lima. It is one of the creepiest places I've ever seen. When you're face to face with someone's skull, it really makes you think. Couldn't imagine it blinking at me!
Not true. My grandma makes fruitcakes that serve as a holiday doorstops for all the family. We have one thats about 8 years old now. Do you think anyone is about to try a slice? Try is the key word here. Trying to cut a piece out requires mallet and chisel.
Knowing youtubers do mistakes to warm up the comment section but also admiring the greatness of Thoughty2 I'm a bit confused with the spelling of Palermo
I honestly forgot the actual reason for this video. I strongly believed it was about mummies, until he starts talking about the actual title, and I'm like: "Oooohhh. I forgot about the blinking thing..."
85% of the video: mummification 15% of the video: 140-year-old dead body that blinks several times daily the video was still good and even a bit comedic though
@Some Normal Person On RUclips Because of a speech impediment. 'Th' pronounced as 'f'. If you listen to him carefully he does it all the time. I think that's the joke with the name.

O'hare air with the crappy hair
i thought you weren't allowed to advertise on this youtube channel
I feel like a lot of the titles and thumbnails attached to these videos could be viewed in some respect as click bait, based on the fact that its a 15 min vid and he only addresses the topic in the title for a couple mins near the end. BUT with that said the rest of the run time is always entertaining and incredibly informative. I’m a huge fan, dramatic titles or not 😂
Daughter: Oh, mummy! I want to be a mummy!
Mum: Not sure what to make of that...
Never laughed so hard at death ,just love this guy narration skills are dope
Walking in the catacombs be like:
Ohhhh boy this is creepy...
*Oh look its uncle bob!*
Uncle Bob: Hi! How are ye!
"Not that i got nothing against your mum"
Lol
Despite not being a fan of morbid things, that's a place I feel like I'd like to visit, some day. And then immediately regret doing it on the same night and the subsequent nights due to the nightmares I'll likely have, but still... sounds like an interesting experience to be had at least once in life.
Is it bad that I’d go in with whiskey to toast all of the mummies?
@@genghiskhan6809 lol
@@genghiskhan6809 you would need plenty of whiskey
“Get me Armani!” When discussing bringing new outfits to the dead. That made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. Thank you
Been there. Definitely worth seeing of you're in Palermo. Rosalia is remarkable; really appears to just be sleeping.
I have to say you've really become quite something. To me you used to be my go to 10th choice after I got bored with everything else. Now I have a hard time finding things that take priority over your #1 spot in my watch list. I'm not sure exactly what changed over the years despite the mustache but this channel is as entertaining to me now as VSauce was to me 2 years ago. Good on you for sticking to it, this stuff is gold to me right now.
interesting... I guess that means ill have to watch more
@@Smokerolla Yeah, I mean it could just be personal taste, but I appreciate things that teach and make me think instead of just waste time.
Modern trendy person: "Eating a mummy?! Gross!"
Same person: * Eats capsules containing other people's "healthy" poop. *
Do u fart?
Of course eating mummies was superstitious, while consuming gut bacteria has been proven to have benefits for some people
@J T there are stomach bacteria, they evolved to survive stomach acid, beyond that it works, if it workers something is surviving
Thanks, I did not need to know that.
@J T you can get good digestive bacteria from things other than fecal matter, I think, I might be wrong.
WAIT HANG ON JUST A SNOW DRINKING SECOND
YOUR NOT SLIPPING THAT SHIT @2:06 PASSED ME LOL
13:25 save you the time tediously waiting for it.
waiting 13 minutes for 2 sentences. clickbait much.
Bless you child
@@MrNuubstar to be fair I might do the same, but I’m always grateful when someone offers a shortcut.
Thanks
Thank
I'm dead inside and I blink well more than twice a day...
Same. I'm dead from the inside but blink alot. I'm offended I'm not in this video.
Stfu
@@Sunflowersarepretty Ha. It is pretty offensive when they leave us out like that. In my case, I guess I need a card from the Queen first to qualify... not 100 yet.
@@shady8261 Take your own advice buddy.
🥱
3:46 "Palmero", thats a quite fancy name for Palermo😂✌🏼
Great videos, thank you for your effort to make such well researched and well told stories!👏👏👏
Fun fact mummy brown is an oil paint that has been banned from use for a long time because actual mummy bits were ground up and added to it for the color development
Beautiful production quality, especially the animations. Very well done. Lots of good humor, too! Love it.
"Sir, this is a McDonalds drive through."
Drive thru but sure
Mcdonald's food is mummified, too. In 1000, years, the only proof of our society will be McD's food that still looks the same as the day it was cooked.
Ecce Hamburger :D
I’ve been watching your videos since you started RUclips so glad to still be watching to this day, keep it up honest one of the best RUclipsrs out here
Thanks for always bringing out such great quality bangers Arran! Love your channel mate, Keep up the great stuff thoughty2!
Q: Why couldn’t the mummy go to school with the witch?
A: He couldn’t spell.
Haha'nt
This comment is fire, people just don't get the joke yet lol.
i dont get it
LMAOO
@@Nisowyd it was worded pretty bad. Witches are known to cast spells while mummies don't cast spells
Original title "Why Does This 100-Year-Old Corpse Blink Twice Every Day?".
Ngl, I thought he'd change the title of the video like 5 times when posting this.
Thank you. I think
Yes.
Really? I think.
That is technically the original title
Havent changed it
Fun fact: the honey found in Egyptian tombs is still perfectly safe to eat because honey literally does not expire. Like ever. If it crystallizes you just heat it up a little bit and it's good as new.
Are you my Mummy? I'm sure fellow Doctor Who fans will get the reference.
I see you're a man of culture aswell
The good episodes too
That was one the Creepiest episodes to me! That one and Don't Blink!
empty child love doctor what
Now, I haven't heart that question in a while.
"impervious to even the strongest acid"
followed by "most underrated positives of dying"
I thought you were gonna say “they are all dead!” When you said what they all had in common in the beginning
I love how this man seconds about a minute answering the question in his videos' titles but most of his videos' unrelated content is as interesting
I had an idea for a comedic action mummy/zombie-themed film/cartoon where we have an undead mummy that awakens, everyone at first thinks it's an evil monster terrorizing people... but plot twist it's one of the good guys trying to save the living from the creepy real villains and their ancient necromancer leader, basically, this mummy becomes a sort-of supernatural superhero and revealed to be a part of a legendary team of ancient preserved heroes now known as the 'Zombie-Warriors'...
Sounds like a toy line/cartoon they would have come up with in the 80s.
Look up the web series/comic _Xombie_ (yes spelled with the X), it has a similar, although very different, premise. At the very least it may inspire your idea.
That sounds like the 2003 cartoon series Tutenstein, where a teenage pharaoh dies, is embalmed as a mummy and wakes up in 21st century as a museum attraction after a teenage girl and her cat accidentally bump into his sarcophacus.
@@UmbraBlades Wow, nearly forgot about that series. I'm not sure which country you're from but the title I remember it as is "Mummies Alive". Exact same cartoon though.
I liked it until the last part
I have always been so interested in Egyptology, but just realized I’d never heard where the term mummy came from!! Super interesting fact!!
Because you're a poser.
@@jonb3167 well, being as I'm not an egyptologist and I'm not saying I am, then no....
Same, I didn't know that Mumia is a translation of Bitumen
Knowledge begins with learning the names of things.
You have to be kidding?
Parents: "blink twice if you're alive"
Kid: **blinks twice**
Parents: it's dead and a zombie...
Kid: wth...
oof on god😂
@oof blink twice if you want me to delete.
I love his jokes, sarcasm and cheeky comments he sprinkles in throughout his videos. 😂
3:43 the way he said Palermo got me gasping for air.
Palmero xD
It was definitely a gasp worthy moment!
I visited Palermo's catacombs a few years ago and it smelled like dry dust, it wasn't that unpleasant tbh
Why would 800 ppl dislike this!? It's an amazing channel. Keep at it mate.
Because it's literally high quality click bait
Oh..poor little girl..
Beautiful in life..and perfect in her preserved state.
R.I.P..little one x
I've been to the catacombs of San Francisco under Lima. It is one of the creepiest places I've ever seen. When you're face to face with someone's skull, it really makes you think. Couldn't imagine it blinking at me!
Fun fact: honey is one of the only foods that can never expire.
What about sugar?
@@neoxgoat4097 lol, no sugar doesn’t technically spoil but it’s recommended you toss it at the end of two years.
Not true. My grandma makes fruitcakes that serve as a holiday doorstops for all the family.
We have one thats about 8 years old now. Do you think anyone is about to try a slice? Try is the key word here. Trying to cut a piece out requires mallet and chisel.
@@AngryHybridApe we’re talking about honey, not your grandmas fruitcake.
@@AngryHybridApe I love fruitcake, but this is about honey.
So Abba singing Mama mia is almost a song about bitumin in Persian.
Knowing youtubers do mistakes to warm up the comment section but also admiring the greatness of Thoughty2 I'm a bit confused with the spelling of Palermo
That poor little girl. I have a 2.5 year old little girl and that just made me feel horrible and almost cried.
I honestly forgot the actual reason for this video. I strongly believed it was about mummies, until he starts talking about the actual title, and I'm like: "Oooohhh. I forgot about the blinking thing..."
@LastName Almaember . No lie nigga😂😂
Lol right. But it is a smart way to get people interested in the history and other knowledge. I like that.
@@brandoncliff5653 . But I didn't click on the video for irrelevant stuff. That should be a separate vid
I love your channel Aaron. You're a very engaging and likeable chap. Hope you keep going for plenty more years to come. Thanks ✌️😎
2, You Crack Me UP, Mate !!
Much Success, Bro.
Long Life.
Your humor is so underrated 😂
His 70s pron stashe is even more underrated. I give it a 9.5 out of 10 for its depth and fullness.
This is so facts
I think your humor is a bit overrated you titzuckers
"not that I have anything against... Your mom" ... I love this man
That voice just makes me so happy
85% of the video: mummification
15% of the video: 140-year-old dead body that blinks several times daily
the video was still good and even a bit comedic though
Thoughty: hey, thoughty2 here
Captions: hey 42 here
Well, you dont look to far off 👀
HEY lmao
He's said hes actually saying 42
@Some Normal Person On RUclips Because of a speech impediment. 'Th' pronounced as 'f'. If you listen to him carefully he does it all the time. I think that's the joke with the name.
@@ezioauditore3128 he has a video where he says that he is saying 42 a reference to “the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” I believe it’s in the RIF 100 episode video.
Burn
This was so interesting that I totally forgot about the "blinking child", until that part came up😆
Ever since he pointed out that mummy sounds like mum, mum'y I couldn't stop hearing it every time he said mummy through the whole video which was alot
Loki yes same
@@ChiB2004 lol its irritating cuz it feel like he's just playing with my brain "Menacingly!"
Love how you throw humor into the mix! Keep up the great work!! (Love your look too!) ⭐❤⭐❤⭐❤⭐❤⭐❤
Fast forward to 11:40 and watch till 13:50, if you want the answer to the title of the video . If you want the entire history of mummification with plenty of side tracks just hit play.
I was looking for this, thank bro
*"Hey, Thoughty 2 here"*
Never gets old... :D
42 u mean right
