➡ About nine months ago, the author shared antique cards from the 1920s that were found in cigarette packs, which were popular during that time. These cards, which are almost a hundred years old, contain interesting historical and archaeological information. The author has another pack of these cards and goes through them one by one, discussing the information on each card. The cards cover a range of topics, from mammoths roaming London to Roman treasures found at Verulamium, and even a bronze shield and helmet found in the Thames.
➡ This text discusses various historical treasures found across the world, from Roman and Egyptian artifacts to treasures buried in Westminster Abbey and Pompeii. It also mentions treasures found in shipwrecks and ancient cities like Crete. The treasures range from gold and silver items to ancient artifacts and royal regalia, some dating back over a thousand years. The text also includes the author’s personal commentary on the interest and significance of these finds.
➡ The text discusses various historical artifacts and treasures, including the tomb of Tutankhamen, the Rosetta Stone, and the Cullinan diamond. It also mentions the process of cleaning ancient Egyptian papyri and the discovery of old Greek texts in Egyptian tombs. The text further explores treasures from different eras and regions, such as the golden headdress of Queen Shubad, the treasures of ancient Taxilla, and the golden throne of Ranjit Singh. Lastly, it talks about the discovery of the long-lost Sungwear pottery in China.
➡ The text discusses various historical artifacts and treasures, including Sung dynasty tea bowls, the Eumorpholis collection, the throne of Emperor Qianlong, Inca gold, Aztec mosaics, pirate treasures, and Australian gold and pearls. The author also mentions the Phoenix phenomenon, which he believes causes volcanic resurfacing and brings new metals to the surface, and speculates about its connection to gold rushes in different parts of the world.

So about nine months ago, I shared some antique cards with you that I have from the 1920s on the kings and queens of antiquity. Pretty interesting, you know, show the state of our archaeological, historical knowledge in the 1920s. These are very unique because they come from cigarette packs. And cigarettes were very in vogue at this time in the 1920s. This is the Bonnie and Clyde era. In fact, Bonnie and Clyde had handled many of these cards. There were very popular trading cards in the 1920s and thirties. I want to share another one of those packs with you today.

All right, here, let me see what’s going on here. This video going. I have another antique pack I want to share with you guys. Pretty interesting cards. This is a different subject matter. May, I may use this box again? These are, these are, these are antique cards from. And you have to pardon my fingers, I’m covered in all kinds of stuff. I’ve been. I’ve been doing a lot of work on the property. So you see my hands. My hands are covered. And you know what? When I get inspired to do a video, I’m just gonna do that video.

Chemicals and sawdust and everything else on me doesn’t even matter. These cards are almost a hundred years old. And when people bought cigarettes back then, they would, uh, they would get one of these cards in each pack. They’re small. They’re very tiny cards, but they got not nice artwork in them. The back of each card is very descriptive. Here’s card number one. Here’s card number one. They’re very descriptive. They got all kinds of stuff on them. So let’s just go through these cards. Here they are right here. Like I said, like I told you, they’re very tiny.

Very small. Just shows you the state of our knowledge. In the 1920s and thirties, these were collectors cards. These are a mint condition. No, they’re not reprints. They’re originals. But the first card is when mammoths roamed London. Churchman cigarettes. Wow, that’s pretty interesting. So we have not really going to be able to use that magnifier in this video. It is interesting, though. Churchman cigarettes. What does it say about churchman cigarettes? Can’t really tell. It’s hard to use a magnifier on a video. I’m just going to show the cards on the screen, guys. That’s what I’m going to do.

That’s the best way to handle that. Put that up. That’s not going to help me. These cards are just a little too tiny, so I can use that light, though. So in prehistoric times, the land upon which London now stands was a frozen waste, the haunt of animals of gigantic stature. This fact was vividly brought to mind by the unearthing of mammoth remains at Inslee Gardens, London in 1892 during work upon a new sewer found 22ft below the surface. Yeah, so remember guys, vapor canopy collapsed. That’s the reason why all that mega funnel was found in the northern hemisphere.

All the megafauna has been found real close to the arctic. Why would my light go like, wow, okay. Still got lighting problems, guys. That’s the very first card. These are uh, treasure trove, a series of 50 cards. I got all 50 of them here. Brevia and AC Churchman Cigarette Company issued by the Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain and Ireland, limited edition. Yeah, this is some really interesting stuff in here. So we’ll go, we’ll go straight to the second cardinal. I think it’s all second card. Get a picture. So we’ll go through these pretty fast. We’re not going to draw this video out.

I just want to share with you guys the state of our knowledge in the 1920s and thirties. Number two card, a fine mosaic at Verulamium St. Albans. Systemic excavations on the prehistoric and roman cities of Verulamium near St. Albans were resumed in 1930 and were continued for several seasons. Names a bunch of the archaeologists. Ruins from the times of Julius Caesar. Triumphal arches, temples, theaters. Pretty interesting. It’s just a showing this fine mosaic. Some of these cards. Some of these cards are detail specific for cultures and stuff. There’s not, there’s not. Oh, there’s. It must have been a really huge because the state.

The third card does the same thing. The third card is also showing treasures that were found at verulamium of St albums 1931. Roman treasures that were found. This is the second one studied at Oxford University. Specimens of roman pottery. Another interesting find. That’s the third card. The fourth card is something entirely different. This is covering the core bridge hoard. One of the most remarkable discoveries of its kind in England. It was made September 14, 1911 on the site of the roman town of Corstopidum near Corbridge, Northumberland. A bronze jug was unearthed containing 160 roman gold coins.

Oh wow. From the time of Nero 64 to 68 AD and to Marcus Aurelius about ad 157. That’s really interesting because the reason I find it interesting is there’s a lot of people who want to naysay history. They want to say all this thousand years. There’s a thousand years here now, the dark ages. There was about a thousand years where we were just, we suffered reset after reset after reset after reset. But numismatics. And this is what this is. Numismatics absolutely proves when you find a clay jar buried in roman ruins, and when the clay jar is cleaned out and they pull up 160 gold ori, these are roman golden coins, and they’re date stampede.

Come on, you got to stop. You can’t say the roman emperors didn’t exist. You can’t say or Marcus Aurelius didn’t exist. You can’t say Nero didn’t exist. The historical, uh, the historical naysayers that they have a lot more to prove. Uh, I just. After a while, to get tired of hearing it, it’s like, wow, man, you know what? You know what? You have a really interesting story. Now prove your case. Just. There are so many. There are so many discoveries of artifacts and ruins that absolutely prove that the historical narrative for which we’ve got about the Greeks and the Romans is basically true.

Yeah, there’s going to be some slight problems here and there. We have thousands of books from the greco roman world, man. We know these people existed. We know the things that they recorded. And it’s getting really ridiculous for people to say that these events didn’t happen. Yeah, it’s just crazy. Especially when you find these treasures like this one right here, which I. It’s. It’s not just treasure because it’s gold. It’s treasure because these coins were date stamped in the time. In the. In the imperial reigns of Nero and Marcus Aurelius. Come on, guys. Yeah, man. I love out of the box thinkers, but sometimes you got to just.

You got to admit when some of the things you guys come up with are just ridiculous. Card number five. Bronze shield and helmet from the Thames. From time to time, especially while new bridges are being built, are old ones being reconstructed, interesting relics of the past are discovered in the foreshore or in the bed of the Thames. Two notable finds are illustrated, both of them remarkable examples of the high degree of skilled craftsmanship attained in the early Iron Age. Yeah, no doubt. Horned helmet of bronze. Found your Waterloo. Waterloo Bridge decorated with red enamel. A bronze enameled shield.

Yeah, guys. Oh, my. Oh, my God. We are the level of craftsmanship by people who were supposed to be nomads, like the Sumerians and Scythians. Come on. They’re the. These people had. These people produced masterwork, their forges and their billows, their cauldrons. They must have been portable. If there were nomads, they were able to set up wherever they went very fast and manufacture not only weapons but inlaid metals, differing differential metals inlaid together in these elaborate goblets and halves of swords and daggers. The blade craft, it’s phenomenal. We don’t have people today manufacturing stuff like this all done by machines.

All right, so we get to. We get to card six, the tray whittle hoard. We illustrate a silver chalice and scourge, part of a hoard discovered at Tree Whittle, Cornwall, in the year 1774 by miners searching for Tinna. Miners searching for tin actually find fully manufactured artifacts. Wow. Gold and silver objects. Rings, pins, 114 silver pennies. The coins date. The treasure is being about 8875. It was probably concealed by a priest, fearful of the danish invaders, which makes sense. That’s when the Danes were invading. Wow. Yeah. A lot of these objects found in the 17 hundreds ended up in the British Museum.

Card number seven. The Stoke prior treasure. We show part of a valuable treasure of the 16th and early 17th century. Silver found in rabbit Burrow at Stoke prior near Leominster, Herefordshire, on December 16, 1891. So it’s found in 18. Here’s a treasure hoard found in 1891, but it’s not that old. 16th century. It’s only a couple hundred years old, so it’s not. Not a real big deal to me. Let’s go. Card number eight. The cheapside hoard. A workman digging on the site of Wakefield House cheapside in 1912 was the means of discovering an amazing hoard of jewelry when his pick penetrated a much decayed box lying below a chalk door.

A few pieces were of roman and egyptian origin reused, but the average date of the collection was about 1600. Pomanders, grapes, diamonds, rubies. Hexagonal. A hexagonal emerald. Okay, again, the treasure is only about 400 years old. Not. Not real interesting to me. Card number nine. West. Oh. Treasure in Westminster Abbey. During the winter of 1637, David Ramsey, clockmaker to the king, obtained permission to dig beneath the floor of the cloisters in search of a hoard of treasures supposed to be buried there. He found a beautiful crucifix and a chain of gold in the inside of a coffin underneath the floor.

Wow. Again, that’s relatively recent history. Last few hundred years. Card number ten. The treasure of traprain, the low hill of trap rain law, about 20 miles east of Edinburgh, was, in early christian times, a fortified town of considerable importance. In May 1919, while excavating at about a foot below turf level, the foreman brought up the end of a pick. At the end of a pick, a silver bowl. Okay. These are roman artifacts. Again, found in Great Britain. Ended up in the museum of antiquities. All right, looks like Gibbon was telling us the truth, guys. Looks like Gibbon was telling us the truth.

There was a long occupational period of row of the Romans in, in England. I mean, we do have Hadrian’s wall, so not all history is fake, my friends. All right. Card number eleven. The treasure of trap, rain, flagon and dish, again, only a few centuries old. Uh, this is a part, this is just a continuation of the other one. Interestingly, in this treasure, though, is found 159 objects, including ten flagons and flasks, 50 bowls and 22 dishes. We show one of the most beautiful of these flagons. It is eight and a half inches high. The body being decorated by four biblical scenes.

Again, it’s about a 400 year old treasure bar. Number twelve. The lost honors of Scotland. The honors of Scotland, as the scottish regalia are called, have a history as romantic as their name. They figured in the coronation of Charles the first as king of Scotland at Holyrood on June 18, 1633. So these aren’t really old. 1633. Oh, royal. Yeah, at Edinburgh Castle, just some royal stuff was found. That’s interesting. Not a real big mystery to me. Card number 13. The Lutine bill at Lloyds. Wow. Lloyds, huh? HMS Lutine was wrecked off of violent Holland on October 9, 1799, with treasure aboard estimated at 1.4 hundred thousand.

Oh, 1,400,000 sterling. Wow. Between 18, 1861, gold to the value of over 100,000 pounds was removed. Ancient bell artifacts. The ship was lost. Yeah. All right. Watch token bell. The red robed collar means bad news, for instance, that a ship’s boat of wreckage has been picked up while two, two strokes means good news upon a wife. All right. It’s not very old. 1799. You guys know, I like really ancient stuff. Anything in the last thousand years doesn’t really interest me. The Egypt’s gold observation shell. Card number 14. The P and O liner Egypt, which sank in the Atlantic off Brest in May 1922 after collision with the scene in dense fog, carried bullion valued at over 1 million sterling as the wreck lay 396ft.

Oh, that’s half a 792. Her treasure was regarded as beyond recovery. After searching through the summers of 1929 and 30, the artiglio, a salvage ship of the Soromo company of Genoa, located the wreck on August 30. This ship, however, subsequently subsequently blew up off Quiberon. But her successor, the second Arteglio, finally salvaged the treasure. Wow. I wonder why the first ship blew up trying to get that treasure. A lot of gold, but not very ancient artifacts. Card number 15 the Egypt’s gold emptying the grab this is a continue of the articlio the second ship and what it pulled up June 22, 1932 the first batch of treasure was salvaged the gold was in bars fail valuing, valuing so small tiny print 2500 each.

200 to 2500 pounds each. Each bar moving right along to card 16. All right. The chaos treasure. France is particularly rich in roman remains. More roman treasure. Okay. Arles nimes the theater at Orange being particularly the fine architectural examples. If this is this is about roman ruins. This is about roman treasures found in 1883 dating from the second century ADHD during the reign of Gal Gallanus, emperor of Rome from ad 260 to 268 a silver statuette three articles are now in the British Museum. Not very interesting to me. I noticed that it didn’t say any of the artifacts were christian.

Card 17 the crystal of Lothaire. This remarkable 9th century jewel. Okay that’s over a thousand years ago. Twelve centuries ago an engraved disc of rock crystal four inches in diameter now in the British Museum made for Lothier, king of the Franks. This would have made him a descendant of the moravian dynasty subsequently belonging to the count of flournines who gave it to the canon of Rheims. That’s Germany as a pledge for a horse. That’s a big old jewel. All right that’s a little bit older. I like that. Interesting piece. All right. Card number 18 antique silver table service found at Pompeii ad 79 Mount Vesuvius.

Mount Vesuvius erupted, killing Pliny the Elder. Killed, killing a female friend that he was trying to rescue. He and all his men vanished in the ash in the pumice trying to rescue her. But evidently this card is about an artifact that was found buried in that rubble in ad 79 volcano. Here’s the story. Since 1763 systematic excavations have been in progress. 1763 is one year before major Phoenix year 1764. So excavations have really been going strong since 1763. They found all kinds of things. One of them was a wooden chest, a silver table service and artifacts from Pompeii buried in 79, 80.

So that’s 2000 years ago. That’s more interesting. A little bit more interesting. Card number 19 a bronze statue found at Pompeii again at the street of abundance. That’s the name, that’s the name of the street. Authorities considered a masterpiece of greek sculpture. So it was a greek artifact from the fifth century BC. So it was already 500 years old. A statue 500 years old, a bronze greek statue was found in the roman city of Pompeii buried by Mount Vesuvius in 79 ad. Those things interest me when archaeologists find this stuff right here. Treasures of Herculaneum again destroyed in 79 ad by the volcano Vesuvius.

The whole city lay buried at a foot of 40 to 100 foot. Excavations were first commenced in 1719 by Prince Elbow, an austrian general, and have since continued at intervals. A bronze bust believed to be the portrait of Seneca, the famous roman philosopher. Wow. Was found in the ruins. Man. I’ve read Seneca. Card number 21. Recovering treasures of imperial Rome. Lake Nemi is drained in 1928. At Mussolini’s orders, pumping operations were commenced for the draining of Lake Nemi near Naples. In order to recover the two imperial roman pleasure galleys which foundered there during a sudden storm.

Believed to have been built for the emperor Tiberius, who reigned from ad 14 to ad 37. These boats sank in the lake during the time Jesus was supposed to be here. In the flesh or whatever, whatever your belief is. That’s when these boats sank. Wow. Floating palaces were lost during the reign of his successor, the notorious emperor Calugula. Wow. They found treasure in the lake from roman times when Jesus was here. No, the card did not mention Jesus. Card number 22. Treasure from the imperial way, Rome. January 1933. During demolition work on the imperial way in Rome.

Treasure to the value of 10,000 pounds was discovered while breaking down a 19th century tenement building. Standing on the site of the classical remains. Wow. From the time of Augustus Nero, Nervae and Trajan. Okay. Card number 23. The Esquiline treasure. Silver dish and casket. In 1793, an interesting collection of silver treasure dating from the fourth and fifth century AD was discovered on the Esquiline Hill in Rome. A large casket. A treasure was buried for safety. A large silver fluted dish. A richly decorated dome shaped casket bearing figures of the muses. Containing silver perfume bottles for the toilet.

Wow. It’s all in the British Museum. Roman artifacts. Not very interesting to me. Card 24 is a continuation of the esculine treasure. A silver bridal casket. Wow. Her name was Projecta Secundus. Her husband had the special coffin made for her. Decorated with nereids, tritons and sea monsters. Nerus, the name of Noah to the ancient Greeks. Nerous has ner in it. Just like Neurodes. It preserves the ancient Anunnaki Nur. 600 year period. Remember what Genesis says? Noah was 600 years in the great flood. Card 25. Royal treasures of ancient Crete. Important archaeological discoveries are often result of the slenderest of clues.

A small boy working at his father’s vineyard at Nassos on the island of Crete. Picked up a massive gold signet ring. Wow. Thought to have belonged to King Minos. Wow. Sir Arthur Evans had discovered the royal palace of the priest kings of Nasos. That’s amazing. Now that interests me. We’re talking about 3500 year old artifact, middle of the Mediterranean, the mysterious Minoans. All right. Card 26, the tomb of Tutankhamen. The first inspection we already know about. Howard Carter, I’ve talked about that on my channel a lot. Howard Carter and the curse of Tutankhamen. See? Yeah, there’s not much new here.

Howard Carter, 1922, found tutankhamuns from the 14th century BC. Young boy. The young boy, he was probably killed by General Horamheg Horemhead, who later became pharaoh. Card 27. The tomb of Tutankhamen. Interior of the antechamber. Yeah, it’s. It’s famous. 3000 gold rosettes. It’s. Yeah, it’s. That’s Tutankhamen’s tombs been beat up too many times. I’ve been into it, it’s got so many artifacts. There it is again, the gold coffin of Tutankhamun. Card number 28. Three coffins of human form, which were enclosed within a carved sarcophagus of yellow quartzite. That’s more tutankhamen. I’m gonna pass over that. Anybody could google the Tutankhamen hoard.

It’s all in there. Part number 29, the treasure in mummy cases. Until vellum began to supersede it during the first century AD, papyrus, a kind of paper made from the stem of the papyrus reed, was in general use as writing material, particularly in ancient Egypt. Alright, so what are you telling me here? Treasure in mummy cases, a composition of old papyri plaster and glue, which when molded together, shaped some of the earliest greek papyri in the british museum, were obtained from mummy cases. Okay, it’s not talking about any one of them in particular, it’s just talking about a lot of the old, old greek texts were actually, old egyptian texts were actually written in greek and they were found in egyptian tombs.

Now that’s pretty interesting because it’s all greek to me. You know, you guys already know, decoding the book of revelation in Greek gives us a whole different message than Judeo Christianity does. All right, card number 30, cleaning ancient egyptian papyri. This is a technique, this is not about treasure. This is just something that was informative to people in the 1930s, how they cleaned papyri to read the text. We’re going to move right on to 31, the Rosetta stone, the cipher to the ancient hieroglyphs yes. The Rosetta stone. Here it is. I don’t even need to read it.

It was egyptian hieroglyphics. Egyptian demotic and greek. Trilingual inscription. We already knew how to read greek, so it was very easy to. To figure out what the demotic was. And from the demotic, we can. We could decode the hieroglyphs. This is how Egyptian Wallasey, Wallasee Budge and others were able to decipher the egyptian hieroglyphs. The Rosetta stone discovered in 1799 by Napoleon’s archaeologist, the french archaeologists in Egypt. This was after Napoleon beat the Turks in the battle of the Pyramids. All right. Gold crown and chalice from Abyssinia. Card number 32. When the british military expedition to Abyssinia under Sir Robert Napier entered Magdala on April 13, 1868, several of the emperor Theodore’s treasures fell into Sir Robert’s hands.

Emperor Theodore 1682. Hammered gold, chalice, incised inscriptions dating from 1682 to 1706. It’s not very old. Not something I would find a lot of interest in pretty late european history. Abyssinia would be north would be Africa. The world’s largest diamond, number 33. Most highly prized of all precious stones. Diamonds consist of pure, crystallized, carbonous. All right, I’m looking for the famous. The famous Cullinan stone, discovered near Pretoria in 1905 and presented to King Edward VII in 1907, was the size of a turkey egg and weighed in its uncut state, 3025 carats. It eventually made its way to the british royal scepter.

Card number 34. The Mount Sinai Bible manuscript. In May 1844, the great german scholar Constantine Tischendorf went on a visit to the monastery of St Catherine on Mount Sinai. Found 129 leaves of what proved to be the famous Codex cyanoticus in a waste paper basket waiting to be burned. The precious script, already depleted, was saved from the flames and after protracted negotiations, was presented to the czar of Russia in 1869. Damn. Somebody on Mount Sinai was burning a version of the Bible when this guy found it, saved him. We have it today called Codex Sinaiticus. Wow.

Card number 33. Royal treasure from ur. Now you’re speaking my language. Expedition under the direction of Sir Leonard Woolley has met with remarkable success at Ur of the Chaldees. That’s where Abraham was from. Abram, Brahma and Saraswati. So in 19, 28, 29 season, he excavated a death pit containing skeletons of 74 people sacrificed at the funeral of a king some 5000 years ago. And in the pit were all kinds of artifacts. A royal treasure. That’s amazing. So they probably offed an entire branch of a royal family. That was pretty common. Somebody, somebody. When an invader came in, they wanted to replace the royalty.

They got rid of everybody in the opposing family. Card 36, golden headdress of Queen Shubad. Sir Leonard Woolley. This is ancient sumerian. Wow. Continuation of card 35, headdress of Queen Shubadh found in an underground vault. It was, it was a lady. Woolley put it on, on her head. Remarkable relic shows to great advantage. Heavy gold rings hang from. Hang from the frontlet of lapis lazuli and carnelian beads. Interesting. 4000 year old treasure. Excuse me, card number 37. And for those of you interested in these, I go kind of, I go a lot deeper. In my earlier presentation, I go through a deck of these.

The link is in the description box. But I go through a deck of these with a lot more detail than I am right now, because these are treasures. Those are about dynasties, kings and queens. Number 37, the treasures of ancient Taxilla, Indo Parthian, city of Taxilla in the northwest of India, was attacked and destroyed by the cushions. About the year ad 60, the apostle Paul was alive and well. At this time, a whole bunch of coins were found. So this is another many interesting antiquities. Coins. Coins in AD 60 still survived. Concerning Alexander the Great himself, those coins would have been 300 years old.

Wow. Now that interests me. That interest me because 300 years after Alexander of Macedon became Alexander the Great by sitting on the throne of Babylon, something happened in northern India that resulted in a treasure hoard being forgotten and buried underground. That was discovered later. And when it was excavated and looked at. Numus. Numus numerous. I don’t know how you say it. Numasmatists, experts in numismatics. The study is the study of coins went through there and found out, oh, these coins date this burial to about 60 ad. But some of these coins are 300 years old. They’re stamped as Macedonian.

They’re stamped as coins belonging to the reign of Alexander of Macedon. That’s amazing. Shows us our history is basically pretty, pretty accurate. The ko I Noor diamond, 1304 became the property of the sultan of Delhi, but it stretched back many hundreds, hundreds of years before that, past it. It’s called the Indian called it the line of Punjab, the mountain of light. In 1911, the diamond was set in the front cross pate of the state crown of Queen Mary’s coronation chair. Interesting, just not that old. Card number 39, Tipoo’s tiger. Few organs have been built so unusual a form as to one illustrated Tipu’s tiger as it has been named was constructed to the order of Tipu sahib in 1753, Sultan of Mysore, and represents an officer of the East India Company in a recumbent position, being mauled by an indian tiger.

Wow. The piece of art was requisitioned by the British in 1799. The British were everywhere back then. East India Company has a real dark history. Card number 40. The golden throne of Ranjit Singh. Singh, or singe. The ambitious nature of the Mahabharaja. Ranjit Singh, combined with his forceful character and military genius, earned him the title the lion of the Punjab. This is a continuation card from the other one. Yeah. That piece of artwork that shows the lion mauling the englishman. Part number 41, gold treasures from the burmese regalia, 1856. Yeah, not very old. Requisitioned. 1890, a bunch of emeralds, golden salvers, a stone statue.

Yeah, gold food vessels. Just not very. Not very ancient. Not very old to me. Card number 42, the treasure of the Oxus. In 1877, a hoard of gold and silver objects was discovered by the banks of the Oxus, a river of central Asia. All right. Artifacts that were found were of persian origin, and they date to the third, to the fifth century BC. So we have things. We have. We have artifacts here confirming the ancient persian empire, and they’re 24 centuries old. Found in the. Now, now. Golden armlets and tubular banding, now found with griffins and blue stones.

Gold models of persian chariots, now located in the British Museum. Now, that’s interesting to me. So I’d hate to think ol Herodotus of Halicarnassus was lying to us about those persian histories. 43. A find of the long lost sungwear pottery Chin yao tea bowls have delighted the hearts of connoisseurs for centuries. The comparative abundance of these bowls in Fuchsiao led Mister JM Plumer, at one time resident there, to investigate their source. So he went. He was, he traveled through China, and in 1935, by rail, motor bus, bamboo craft, and on foot, he finally, the search just, he found the district where they were created.

He found three huge kiln sites, each containing a mass of tea bowls from the Sung dynasty. This dude really did his homework. Searched china and found where they made these artifact bowls. In the year 960 to 1000 AD, he found the archaeological site and three giant kiln forges were still there. Amazing. That’s the kind of guy I like. That’s the kind of stuff you read in travelogs. That’s why I like reading those travelogues from the 17 and 18 hundreds. They’re full of stuff like that. They never even made it into the standard history books. Card number 44.

The eumorpholis collection. Can you pronounce that? Treasures amounting to 100,000 pounds worth? Exquisite specimens of ceramics, bronzes, gold and silver ornaments, mirrors. Doesn’t really say much about them. Oh, Bactria. Okay. Administering a bactrian camel dating from 8728. That’s pretty old. That’s 13th centuries old. Hard number 45. We’re making really good time, guys, on this overview, the throne of the emperor Qianlong. Okay. The centuries old red carved lacquer industry of China was revived in AD 1680 when the emperor Kang Sihda established the imperial chinese lacquer factory in the precincts of the palace of Peking, or Peking. Wow.

He was a patron of the arts. So these aren’t very old at all. Talking about 350 year old treasures. It’s cool. Found in 1922. I like ancient China, not recent history. Card number 46. The Incas ransom in 1532 is not very old either. This is a very famous story as a very famous story, soon as I saw it, about Pizarro and Adelaipa, who he screwed over 1532. The native monarch of Peru, the Inca Atahualpa, was captured by the spanish soldiers, Pizarro. They ransomed him. The Inca didn’t, the Inca didn’t have value in gold. They saw it as a metal that was beautiful, and they had a gardens that were, that were replicas of plants and trees made out of gold inlaid with silver leaves, all kinds of that.

And they had, they had the inca people bring all these gold and stuff and fill a whole room up full of gold and treasures and silver to release Emperor Atahualpa from captivity. But Pizarro lied and he killed Adelapa. Yeah, man, dark day. And since that time, Spain went downhill. Their treasure ships were taken by other people. The mini treasure ships never made it over the Atlantic. Yeah, man. Spirit. You can, you can call it, you can call it God, you can call it the oversold, you can call it artificial intelligence x. It doesn’t matter. It says that type of shit there stains the soul.

And that type of programming put out into the field comes right back to you. That’s what happened to Pizarro and many other spanish conquistadors after that. They had a lot of trouble after, after they did that, that absolute treachery. Card number 47. Ancient mexican mosaic. This is about the Aztecs, 16th century. This is not old. Yeah, this is not old. 450 year old two headed rattlesnake and turquoise mosaic. Yeah, not real old to me. Interesting but not old. Card number 48. The pirate treasure of Coco’s island. I never heard the pirate treasure of Coco’s island. Never heard of that.

So they buried their ill gotten gains. In the 18th century, the famous privateers Edward Davis and William Dampier buried a bunch of treasure. Later, in 1821, Captain Thompson of the brig Mary Dyer hid on the island an immense treasure valued at $60 million, taken from the town of Lima. Many attempts have been found to find the horde. Okay, so there’s an island out there with. With two pirate treasures, and nobody’s found them yet. Cocoa island. The quest for gold. Card number 49. The search for gold has always fixed the imagination of mankind. The news of the first discovery of gold in Victoria, Australia, in 1839, was suppressed by the governor.

But a few years later, the australian gold rush was at its height, a striking feature being the number of gold nuggets unearthed near the surface, the largest ever found. What? The welcome stranger was discovered at Malaya Ghoul Victoria in 1869. Its weight was 25 20oz. 25 20 is 360 times seven. We illustrate miners panning for gold at Warburton, Victoria. The dirt is swirled around. Okay, this is interesting to me for another reason. I didn’t know about an australian gold rush, but in the opposite hemisphere, there was the Klondike gold rush, the Yukon gold rush, and the 49 ers California gold rush.

They all happened at the exact same time, and gold was often found right there on the surface. How come it hasn’t happening? Now, hear me out. The phoenix phenomenon causes mud, floods, but it also causes volcanic resurfacing. Over and over. I’ve explained that the Phoenix phenomenon is also designed not only to bury human civilizations like Gobekli Tepe, and the other 40 tepe and hygiene sites and many other places around the world, but at the same time, volcano volcanoes bring new heavy metals and ores to the surface. Yeah. So fine. Yeah, man, it’s just crazy what recently happened that so much gold was found.

As soon as, you know, white Europeans entered those areas because 1764 was the last phoenix year. But there were, there were no white people. There was no settlers and miners in any of those regions in the Klondike, in the Yukon, oh, Canada, Australia. I mean, Canada, Alaska, Australia, and northwestern United States. Those are the four locations of the gold rushes. Those gold rush events were all at the same time. The last Phoenix phenomenon date before that was 1764, but there was no pe, nobody living out there in those areas in 1764. They had not been settled yet before that.

138 years before that was, was 1626. That is the date, I believe that massive. Right before white Europeans came to the Americas. That’s when, 1626. A lot of the native, a lot of the indigenous cultures were wiped out. The topography change. That’s why the maps before the 1620s are very different than the maps after the 1630s. I’ve speculated about this a lot, but now this is new data to me, I’m just processing it. I didn’t know that there was a gold rush in Australia as well at the same time as there was in the 49, er, caves, northwest United States, the canadian, alaskan, Klondike and Yukon areas.

So this is another field of study. This is something interesting because gold was found on the surface in all those locations. Why has it not been found on the surface anywhere else in the world at any other time? This is very interesting to me. Okay, last card, number 50. The pearls. Pearls. The treasure trove of the sea. The chief pearling grounds of the ancients were India and the Persian Gulf. But today, the most valuable species of pearl oyster, the golden or silver lip oyster, are found in australian waters. The pioneer of australian pearling was an american sailor named Taze, who settled in Nickel Bay, Western Australia in 1861 and employed native divers until all shells within their.

Their diving limit of about 50ft depth had been gathered. Wow. The most remarkable, found in 1883. The biggest pearl, 50 cards. This is my second deck of tobacco company cards from the 1920s and 1930s. Very small deck. These are in mint condition. They’ll be placed back. They will be placed right back in these plastic sleeves and very well preserved with the other decks. And I hope you guys enjoyed this presentation. Just something short and something I promised to do nine months ago when I put. When I released the first video. Sorry it took so long. Been busy as hell.

And I’m doing. I’m doing another presentation right after this one. But it’s the final chronic on Chronicon. Nick T is done. This last one is 4 hours long. Chronicon is finished. Now, the entire Chronicon book is an audio file. It’s a series of audio files. It’s like 30, 35 hours of narration. So I may provide a drive now that I have so many audiobooks. Lost scriptures of Giza. When the sun darkens, awaken the immortal within. I have two versions. One read by a female, one. One I believe. I believe she’s done. One read by the voice of Batman himself.

Yes, yes. Antonakos, the actor. Antonakos, who is the voice of Batman, was impressed with awaken the immortal within. And he’s the voice you hear on my YouTube channel, reading that audiobook. Awaken the immortal within. I may provide audio. All my whole audiobook collection, all of chronicle and everything on a single drive. If you guys like that idea, I’ll make it as cheap as possible. But if you guys like that idea, I’ll, uh, I’ll consider it. It’s it’s. It’s a lot. It’s a lot to make copies of, but I don’t know. See how many people want one of those.

Just a thumb drive with all my video audiobooks. I got quite a few of them. Till later, guys. I’m going to wait till in the morning, and I’m going to post the final chronicon before I do another live video.
