Diseases inevitably belonged to life in the Middle Ages; there was virtually no hygiene and sanitation, making it difficult to survive near-perpetual diseases.

Thr number of ads here is so infuriating it makes this unwatchable. You get fewer ads on cable
Turn DOWN the damn music! Hell's bells it is so loud if you're wearing earbuds or headphones!
AS THEY EXPLAINED THEIR STUDIES THERE'S NO 🎶 MUSIC.
I can barely hear the voices. the gregorian chant and violins are all too distracting to view unless i mute you.
Thanks for your time and consideration. Amen Philadelphia USA
Did you know you can make success a habit. I have a business opportunity I'll like to share if you're open for opportunities leave a message
Medieval Christians would not have objected to exhumations, they did it to saints or holy people all the time 🙄
Syphilis did not exist in Medieval Europe. It was a new world disease. I can't with this dumb documentary.
The people of the Medieval times were very hygienic, they just didn't have anti biotics.
Excellent documentary!!
I lasted 2 minutes before the music level drove me away
Has anyone taken the time to realize just how lucky we are to even be alive today? Just think about this fact for a moment. A case of leprosy, the plague, sweating sickness, pneumonia, influenza, famine, infections, childbirth and complications from childbirth plus so much more could’ve easily killed the people that we are descended from resulting in those of us who are alive right now never being born. Are we here just because of mere luck regarding the health and welfare of our ancestors? Why did they survive and not others?
The other thing that I find interesting are the genetic traits that we inherit from these ancestors. On my mother’s side of the family we all (ancestors, grandparents, parents, kids, etc.) have inherited an unusual and very aggressive form of osteoarthritis which has resulted in everyone (literally!) having to have arthroscopic surgeries on various joints plus the majority of the larger family having had at least one joint replaced. (I’ve had five thus far.) In doing family history we discovered a Medieval English ancestor who is the first person to bear the last name of Cruikshank (a person who has a crooked leg or who walks off kilter due to disease or other causes) denoting that he either had a form of arthritis that twisted his legs or that affected his ability to walk. My mom held a meeting with her many cousins and when she brought up the Cruikshank name and how OA had severely affected her part of the family. The rest of her cousins said that they too had the same kind of arthritis in the feet, knees and hips that Mom and our part of the family did. This is just my own experience, but I find it fascinating to think about those ancestors and their lives and feel grateful that for whatever reason they were in good enough health to carry on our family from generation to generation until now.
leprosy and diabetes…. interesting diabetes presents same age…. it was always a living death disease too. still is…. the similarities between well from my seriously religious medieval perspective….. I myself can totally see a reason to segregate the majority of. I know everyone still laughs about the old fashioned unbalanced humours description for disease. yet it's called dis ease….. not at ease. or from the 80s slang maybe those who dissed…. with ease… or dissed ease itself. If one understands the chakras, the concept of reiki, even acupuncture but to a lesser degree because to puncture disrupts the vagus nerve. That disrupted at all can cause disease. leeches became same…. humours became humorous and bad blood between competing physician's ugh…. I don't understand why digging in graves helps life…. seems deadly. I don't know why a healthy person would go pick through 700 year old infectious plaque calling it a reservoir. reservoirs that word, connected to dams and drinking water, so….. plague plaque… I do hope you live by yourself or only with your coworkers. don't procreate after playing in that bacteria ladies and gentlemen. that's truly insane.
I agree the music runs over the narrator
Maybe people of other parts of the world will let ancestral remains be examined to better understand their history.
Why do most ppl insist on music in videos? Idk but it is so very annoying I just click away. Too bad because I wanted to watch this but can't stand the music. Smh.
Wonder if friends and family thought they were being punished too. Having your boyhood friend or your mother catch a terrible disease, and have to do something to help and get sick or leave them for an alms house
More disease narrative? Timeline. You are a tool of the "big families"
And touching the the bones of once deadly disease deseased bones without gloves is a good idea?
😎👍
Great Work!
And the worst disease now is Liberalism.
i'd say the well poisoners during the black plague had the deadliest disease
Ffs how did ppl survive til these days no proper medication no proper clean water etc its a miracle
Hey producers, how about lowering the volume of the dark, eerie music so that I can HEAR THE GODDAM NARRATION! Terrible production..
Had to thumbs down this one. Couldn’t hear commentary over the music.
And daddy you got the wrong Bible honey and if you stole my Bible you're here by arrested cuz you don't know how to read from the Bible and you told me so yourself you're so busy worrying about lying when I told you there's certain things of the Bible you cannot explain to people and you also gotten it wrong I said to wait but you did not can you proceed to lie upon the words you did help put me on the cross before you doing so you're arrested cuz you did not understand the first thing about the Bible you want me to go on one preacher said and I told you I remember talking to you diligently and you have frauded the Bible in many ways now I explained to you cuz there's certain pages within the Bible that you cannot use that you have to look through other things as you read through the Bible but you said here today and you still don't get the words right so I'm putting you under arrest for fraud
15:22 Sure… why people in the Middle Ages didn’t make use of antibiotics, or penicillin?
Ow right, it didn’t come around until 1800… #facepalm
The interpatation of the word leprosy in the Old Testament does include other skin afflictions as well as leprosy. In Leviticus 14:1-59 explains a ritual sounding leprosy. In chapter 3 the Bible says, and I paraphrase, the priest is to go and look at the person before the rituals to make sure the person has been healed. The priest must also check to see if the skin afflictions are in fact leprosy, as many other diseases can look like leprosy. The Bible does also make mention of heald cases of leprosy. This is a ritual, not a healing. It's misinterpreting the Bible that puts a bad name to leprosy. Keep in mind you must research the Bible to get it right just as the doctor speaking must be careful of misinterpreting the bones she studies. She's doing the same thing she asserts the Bible of doing…misinterpreting. However, these are details in the Bible most would never look into. You would not need to be an expert in Bible interpatation, but you would have to put a great amount of time to study and understand the meaning of many parts of the Bible in context. This is a great video and important to understand what we, the human race, went through during the Middle Ages. It inspires me to understand it in more detail.
