    As a heavily tattooed enthusiast I find this really interesting! Never really looked at the history of the tattoo. My knowledge only dates back to the traditional American tattoo. Sailor tattoos etc. Excuse the English - Norwegian here.

      Sam Asgari you should look up the alpine mountain mummy tattoo
      Wikipedia:
      Ötzi had a total of 61 tattoos, consisting of 19 groups of black lines ranging from 1 to 3 mm in thickness and 7 to 40 mm long.[28] These include groups of parallel lines running along the longitudinal axis of his body and to both sides of the lumbar spine, as well as a cruciform mark behind the right knee and on the right ankle, and parallel lines around the left wrist. The greatest concentration of markings is found on his legs, which together exhibit 12 groups of lines.[29] A microscopic examination of samples collected from these tattoos revealed that they were created from pigment manufactured out of fireplace ash or soot.[30]
      Radiological examination of Ötzi's bones showed "age-conditioned or strain-induced degeneration" corresponding to many tattooed areas, including osteochondrosis and slight spondylosis in the lumbar spine and wear-and-tear degeneration in the knee and especially in the ankle joints.[31] It has been speculated that these tattoos may have been related to pain relief treatments similar to acupressure or acupuncture.[29] If so, this is at least 2,000 years before their previously known earliest use in China (c. 1000 BCE).[32] Recent research into archaeological evidence for ancient tattooing has confirmed that Ötzi is the oldest tattooed human mummy yet discovered.[33][34]

    "Maw-kaw" would be a closer pronunciation. The O is a short vowel. Saying "Moe-Co" is painful to the ears!

    Great topic, but is true that is hard to hear due to the lack of fluidity of the speaker and the replacement of it wit UUUHM’s and the intensive emphasis on all the topics where she isn’t getting in to.

    Uhm, uhm, uhm .... while reading a script? Really tedious after a while. Toastmaster (public speaking) lessons wouldn't hurt most speakers I hear who lecture for a living. Even many "English as a second language" speakers seem to suffer from Uhm-itis. Interesting content, tho!
