Calling Dr. Pompeii

Hey everybody, welcome back for another video. Today we're going to be talking about Pompeii and looking at some of the artifacts found with regards to surgical tools because there's some really interesting things coming out of Pompeii that I'd like to re-examine. So should be We're told Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in I believe 79 AD but there's also questions that this destruction may have happened much later and there are a lot of interesting photos showing some of the streets of Pompeii after it was unearthed under all of that ash. So really interesting stuff but there was one particular location within Pompeii referred to as the House of the Surgeon and it was discovered in the 1770s. What they found at this location were a lot of medical equipment and according to the official history sophisticated 2,000 year old medical toolkit including scalpels, forceps, bone saws, hooks and vaginal speculums made from bronze and iron and the interesting thing to me is these instruments closely resemble modern surgical tools. So I guess something I was wondering is were some of these things potentially planted and once again just to highlight these tools were discovered in the 1770s and in some cases they rival their modern equivalents. So very interesting stuff and I wanted to focus in on this speculum that was discovered and the interesting thing about it and this was pointed out by a post on stolenhistory.net I believe and we'll take a look at that in a second but there is this screw mechanism and it is an arrangement that was still to be found in the specula of the 1700s in Europe. So this site that got buried in the first century AD some of the equipment that was being used we're told was still very much similar to the equipment that was used in the 1700s when just so happens Pompeii was rediscovered. So I guess something that I was just wondering is were some of these things planted maybe? It's just something I question and here's this post on stolenhistory.net and this gentleman or male or female brought up the point how a metal screw brings down the myth of Pompeii and that's the interesting thing is the Egyptians were told they had wooden screws but metal screws at least according to official history they don't show up in Europe until the 1400s in small numbers but then during the I Industrial Revolution that's when you start getting more metal screws. So this idea that there would be the metal screws showing up in Pompeii in the first century AD seems a bit far-fetched. So I think the implication of this post they were implying that this site was buried a lot more recently because you have the presence of these metal screws and these metal screws weren't produced during the Roman period they were produced more recently so that's an interesting premise you know and that very well may be the case but what I'm wondering is maybe these things were also planted because we have so few examples and when you look at other sites that are claimed to be Roman you can find other metal components like nails but you find them in larger numbers so there's many sites where they find Roman nails this is a site in the Roman necropolis and I believe another site they found a whole horde of nails this is a site in Scotland I believe almost 900,000 iron nails the point I'm trying to get at is you do find a lot of artifacts throughout the Roman Empire are like metal nails but metal screws you almost don't find any actually and I was reading this paper and they proposed that there's a strong possibility that the Roman screw threads have been misidentified and discarded on excavations due to their similarity to modern screws so they're claiming here that these metal screws they have been showing up on these older Roman sites but archaeologists have just been throwing them away because they thought they were just more recent additions to the site so that brings me to speculation that you don't find these metal screws at a lot of these Roman sites these archaeological sites so I'm wondering if this was planted there maybe even a lot of these tools which are very similar to tools that were from the 1700s so when Pompeii was discovered in the 1700s or rediscovered we're told you have these tools that are found just so happen to be tools very similar to tools you'll find in the 1700s so again just some speculation but very interesting when you have small numbers of artifacts found that are propping up a whole narrative that usually concerns me and something else they found in Pompeii they found these paintings and again there's almost no Roman paintings discovered that have remained to our present day but because these were buried we're told there were several paintings preserved from Pompeii and one of them is this painting of the three graces I believe it's by Raphael again we're told Pompeii was buried in 79 AD but this painting originates from 1503 and 1505 by Raphael one of these renaissance painters so how is it possible that you have a painting from the 1500s at a site that's buried in the first century AD so it's not possible right so people are speculating because of this that this site was buried much more recently again possible and we're told that there are actually no photos of this painting in its original location there's a sketch I'm going to show you that's supposed to represent where it was they say it was on this particular section of this wall but there's no actual photos that this was on the wall so again could this have been planted some of these paintings have been planted that's sort of my speculation and here's a sketch a sketch of the south wall featuring what they say is this painting of the three graces so not much to back this up so I'm just wondering if the metal screws the paintings if these things are potentially planted again that's sort of my speculation yeah I'm very dubious of the paintings but as far as the timeline goes so it turns out that there was apparently according to the history again in 1631 there was another eruption of Mount Vesuvius and it was recorded in some books and there's depictions of it and there are even two separate stone epitaphs inscriptions and stone basically not too far away from Vesuvius and both of these inscriptions talk about this destruction of some of the surrounding area and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1631 as well as Pompeii so something appears to have happened in 1631 so you know I have to take that into account so I want to talk about the apocalypse that I believe has happened and took out the Roman Empire and I believe our history is largely a recreation and you can kind of observe these two phases like Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris again I don't trust any of these dates but they say it was completed in the 14th century but buried underneath it is this destroyed Roman neighborhood so you can kind of see these two phases and even if you go back to Italy you have the Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican but we're told this was completed in the 1600s but buried underneath it you have this earlier Roman period mosaic so you can see these two phases again but the dates are much more recent so I think these two separate sites I think they were affected by this same apocalyptic event and I don't trust any of the dating they're giving us but then you get into this scenario where you look at places like Melbourne Australia where in 2017 they rediscovered in the central business district they rediscovered all these buried sites that date to the colonial period and you had things like this picket fence that were found and left relatively intact which is interesting so it was whatever this event was that happened it wasn't a tsunami that came rushing in and destroying everything because things like a wooden fence remained intact but you had these sites get buried and then you get more impressive architecture once again being built after whatever this event was but it seems like it's different than this event the apocalyptic event which is in my opinion linked to the Roman Empire or what we call Rome because when you look at the artifacts of these buried sites they seem significantly different to me the coins are different a lot of the artifacts tobacco clay pipes a lot of differences and then you start looking in let's say North America for instance Chattanooga Tennessee you get this phenomenon of these arches peeking out above the sidewalks and you have these buried levels right and you go from Tennessee all the way up to Calgary Alberta in Canada and once again the Hudson block you can find more arches peeking up and again you can go back into United States Oakland in California and this former site of this brewery the Linden Street Brewery and you can find more of these structures with these arches peeking out and you can see the tops of the brick arches of what were once the first floor windows on the exterior of the building so this event whatever did this seems to me to be a separate event than the one that affected the Roman Empire in my opinion so I just wanted to point that out so is this proposed eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1631 is that what's responsible for what I believe is the secondary event that is the question so I'm not sure but I just wanted to kind of use this as an opportunity to shed some light on these two separate phases and talk about some of these artifacts which I think may have been planted but they could have been buried during a more recent event so both things are possible but I just wanted to kind of share some of these thoughts with you guys but I think that's about all I got for you for today I do want to give a big shout out to my channel members thank you for all your help and support it's greatly appreciated as well as my patrons thank you as well for all your help and support it's also greatly appreciated so with all that being said until next time take care bye
