As soon as I see Dr Fletcher in the thumbnail, I am watching! She has renewed my love of history documentaries, and sparked them in my own daughter. Thank you so much Dr Fletcher!

I love all documentaries with Dr. Fletcher! She’s just one of the best! She also makes every clue discovered easily to understand for us viewers who aren’t experts ❤ Thanks a lot Dr. Joann Fletcher ; you rock!

Joann Fletcher rules!💗

Anything Dr. Fletcher or Time Team is all this channel really needs.

Dr Fletcher is my favorite person to listen to. I always enjoy her shows.

I love this girl so much! Dr. Joanne Fletcher is such a gem!!

Great video. This mummy should be in a museum in Peru.

Professor Joanne fletcher is the best and a kind and respectful lady .I met her once we chatted for ages we spoke the same language it was a joy .

Yes more Dr Joann Fletcher omg i just love her and her documentaries i could watch and listen to her forever on Egypt. Please bring more of her ❤

Fletcher & team strip back an historical narrative. Phenomenal !! How can you not be impressed by such methodical detective work ? First rate !!

Odyssey, and episodes with Dr. Fletcher in particular, was one of the best. Do keep in mind though the series is 10 and more years old, this episode being 2007 apparently, and in 21st century science just a year is a very long time. This mummy's story could possibly now be very different. Alas that's what we get on YT and for 'free', but this still a great watch and better than most of the amateur junk tossed up however current.

i can’t believe she’s back!!! love the series with her narrating.

So interesting, and it is fascinating for me….i struggle with Depression and Anxiety, this programme has given me so much to think about…keep up the excellent work.

Dr. Fletcher is the best. I watch everything I can find with her. Thanks!

As a warrior, she may have been highly skilled with spear throwing, slingshot, stone throwing. Small, strong and agile enough to climb rocks, trees and be a sniper.

Peru has the most antique Civilization in the whole America Continent as Caral with 5 thousands years old. But the oldest ruins ( not an organized civilization ) is found also in Huaca Prieta ( also Peru ) 15k years old

I have a fever, and the only prescription is more Dr Fletcher videos! 🤩😎

Amazing scientific skills and knowledge in the group, and how cool to see how people with very different areas of expertise worked together to solve the puzzle.

I love this entire team. They are a dynamic combination and the humanity they show in their investigations is wonderful. Dr Fletcher is brilliant and I love following her career.

ohhhhh I just love Joann Fletcher- so happy to see her again!!!! I loved her Egypt series- she is down to earth and really tells a good story as she twines it into history . And- That hair rocks!!!.lol

Me, an expert in human osteology and postmortem identification who’s been in the field for the past 11 years, checking out the initial x-ray of the mummy: Would you look at that nice big kidney bean shaped pelvic inlet, it’s wider than mine! I wonder how many scenes we’re going to have to watch before the big shocking twist of a gender reveal is going to happen. 🙃 (In all seriousness though, I cannot even believe that the initial determination of sex was made just from the brow ridge. I know this must’ve been cut down for TV and I’m sure that other analyses and measurements were made, but the case for male was shaky to begin with. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that the Big Shocking Gender Reveal was simply done for the purpose of the plot, because I refuse to believe that multiple competent skeletal experts all decided to just go with this opinion for so long without definitive proof one way or the other. Screwing up one of the Big Four (age, sex, race, and stature) is a rather fundamental, and embarrassing, mistake for any of us who work with skeletal remains. It can happen to anybody, and it’s why we don’t like saying anything until we’re sure, much less why we don’t base an entire profile around it until we’re sure.)

Just discovered this channel and I am loving it! So fascinating.

So happy to see Dr.Fletcher again❤

Mummies have fascinated me since childhood! The South American mummies are of special interest to me ..simply amazing relics of a distant past ! Living in Ecuador has given me much to explore !

It’s hard for me to find Ancient Archeological STORIES that I have not seen before, this is one of those so thank you for your upload. Yes I am a screen junky, for the last 40yrs I have loved watching anything Ancient.

Absolutely wonderful presentation! Thank you! 😊 ❤

1)the big shoulder could indicate a good rower. I am not sure really, but my impression is that the feathers are of flamingos, I didn't notice any blue feathers. Do feathers change colors with time? I have many and mine don't change with time, but I have not lived that long in this lifetime.

I’ll watch any documentary if narrated by Dr Fletcher!!

I'm a new follower of this channel. Been binge watching since last night. Thank you Dr. Fletcher and the scientific team.

So interesting.. many questions raised. I don't know why they didn't mention her right hand, looked to me that it would have been holding something .. as to why are the fingers apparently curving round something no longer there.. the left hand situated gracefully against the body, fingers extended. And why was it assumed she was a warrior, maybe she was a swimmer/diver (fishing net reference) and do we know what proffesions were reveered, could give high status... maybe a blacksmith ? .. fascinating stuff, love these investigations 🔎 😍

So informative!

Brilliant documentary

Love the whole team and that each of them breaks down their techniques for the rest of us ❤

And it shows how we in this patriarcal times view the past thru ower lences. It took a long time and a lot of reserch before they found out that she was female - and then she ofcourse must have been one of a kind... why?. Thanks to dr. Fletcher ! Love her shows !

Mummy forensics is so fascinating I love these vids

Prescription for joy filled by one Dr Fletcher! 💜🇦🇺💜

Cheer up,I find your videos quite interesting 😊 Thank you.

Brilliant programme this!

Whoo Hoo so love this channel.

I JUST LOVED THIS DOC

Amazing thank u 🙏

Dr Fletcher is a wonderful academic . She is passionate about her work, has very nice mannerisms and is very respectful of the cultures she speaks about.

Surprised to see at them examine the mummy without wearing a mask, head covering, clean lab coat, and gloves. In my training as a registered nurse and later on as an anthropologist, we were always properly attired while conducting an examination even if only it was a visual. Very disappointing conduct by professionals. The reason- microbes they introduce will have a deleterious effect on the mummy. The examiners’ loose hair and close-range exhaled breath are but two of the initial modes of microbial transmission.

Dr Joann fletcher is from my neck of the woods so proud of this lady a true Barnsley lass.

Dr fletcher needs to do this full time making documentaries, I for one would be a subcriber

Dr. Fletcher 🙌🏼💐🙌🏼

I think i saw these documentaries a few years ago....still good

Good job

Incredible doco

Thank you from Redding California United States of America. Well done.

I am a chemist, I get a lot from just watching closely. However I would like just a little more about the chemistry going on. I won't say anything about the mistakes as I censor that out. Just a touch more chemistry would really help me out with stuff I can then research. Thanks you guys! You do give us a lot.

Muy interesantes documentales por favor traducirlo a español gracias.

I love Professor Fisher!!!

Dr. Fletcher 💛💚

I watch Dr. Fletcher's various documentaries and I certainly enjoyed this insightful investigation by the "team" into Peruvian culture. I have a question though in regards to the textile information. I have numerous North African (Tunisia?) textiles that exactly resemble the textiles at timeline 18:13 minutes and also at 36:18 minutes. Could this be a possible error? The fabrics on the mummy are definitely Peruvian. Please explain if possible. Loved this video and look forward to seeing more of Dr. Fletcher. Thank you.🤔🧐🙏

I love Joann Fletcher

East and west Dr. Fletcher is best

LOVE HER!!!

The Fisherman was 4’4”. I say he was, in this life, a true Little Man. In my life’s experience, it’s rare to meet a real Little Man. They are like 3 exuberant men together as one. They are very capable individuals. Its as if they’ve got double energy - somehow they are more …. And, for this mummy to be designated as female makes her all the more remarkable! How fascinating she must have been in life; she’s continuing to hold our attention long after

All I need to see is Dr. Fletcher's face and I'm watching! She's amazing!

Good evening everyone

This is revolutionary material. A related book I read had the same disruptive impact. "The Silent Bridge: Echoes of the Unspoken Past" by Emma Wick

2)They decided she was a warrior because she had a pair of broken bones?? hmmm, people can fall, or have accidents...why does always got to be warriors? Maybe she was an awesome kayaker ( with that strong upper body) and was crushed by waves once or twice...

Mam your great

Could you please lower the music level. I have problems with certain accents so it would be helpful if background music not so loud. Such fascinating subject that I don't want to miss any details. Thank you

Every time the narrator says "this MAN" I flinch. Thanks . May do they /them now on ?

I'm glad that they all (including the male scientists) could agree she was a male warrior. So often, when women are buried with weapons, scientists wriggle out of saying they are actual warriors by calling the weapons "symbolic". That she had a robust build and healed injuries demonstrate her warrior status. Very cool.

When I was in high school in Lima, there were 2 mummified bodies next to me in the classroom. Just placed in brown paper grocery bags. There was skin and hair...and it was distressing to me !

Fascinating stuff.

She was sitting in a throne. In ancient Peru, great kings, priests and warriors never died, so they were mummified like that, and paraded in massive religious festivals, probably with dozens of other sitting mummies, every year

Sorry if this is Basic! & enormous congratulations to the Documentary Team. BUT!!! What A "Hard Ass Lady" She Must Have Been!!! Tony UK

Люблю Джуану Флетчер, жаль нет русского перевода

I sure wish they'd have done facial reconstruction, I find that fascinating.

It’s probably a dumb question but what if this person was both? It does happen and would make sense for the bone structure.

Great subjects, and so much repetition.

Never heard of Dr. Fletcher. There is a love fest for her in the comments. I now see why.🥰

... but there again there aren't many effective warriors measuring 4' 4", so she could equally have developed her upper body strength from rowing a canoe given she was thought to have come from a coastal community?

Erdekelminden a mi a régi élettel és annak targyaival😊😮

I don't know much about bones and stuff and how our biology affects them, but if it was that difficult to see if the individual was male or female and had characteristics of both, could it be possible they might have been intersex? Again, don't know much about this, I just find it interesting this kind of investigations always focus on male/female when intersex people aren't as uncommon as some think.

Es hora q vuelva al Perú

Omg, a re$head, I had two of them, step dtr and grand girl. Cool ladies.

'Collected' aka stolen

Reconstruct the crown and the headdress, and the face. Figure out if the net was flat, or a garment.

Would be interesting to talk about how the wealth of these tribes built the wealth that the modern royalty of Spain is built upon.

I love Dr Johannesburg programs but I wonder if she had ever come across any ancient skeletons that she has never found any information about

Do they really examine the mummy in the dark hallway?

Local folk heroine who saved her people from the Spaniard colonizers by luring them into her nets and drowning them with the weight of their own armor? ❤

If that's a coastal Mummy, couldn't have the Person rowed a Boat, fighting big Fish instead of being a Warrior?

I love these documentaries but I was rather surprised to see the specialist collecting hair and fibre samples without a mask or hairnet essentially dropping all his DNA and everything else from him to contaminate samples.

I'm a simple women. I see dr fletcher, I click.🤷‍♀

I love the whole great information about deceased a long time ago humans. It is eye opening. BUT why has there always be disturbing music, especially bad for people with hearing problems. The music doesn’t mean anything regarding the mummies. Please stop it ore is this the time of none saying noise anytime and anywhere?

Mulan?

Maybe instead of a warrior she was a champion hunter(the net),or horse rider? Did they have horses?

Could the mummy not be intersex as it has both male and female attributes?

Interesting case but entirely inconclusive.

My late husband, a white American from South Dakota and born in 1940, had a very pronounced brow ridge that often made me wonder about his unknown ancestors. While it complimented his face and rugged 6' stature his daughter, standing 5' 6", inherited his face and physical rugged stature. I share this because if her skeleton were examined in the far off future she may also be incorrectly thought to have been male; it is an easy mistake then, now and perhaps always.

Seems to me that ruling out the chinchorro link based on the head band alone is silly. Could have been the mummy received, traded, fought for it. Heck could have ordered from Amazon. I think the only thing you could say from that bit of evidence is that there are no known examples from chinchorro culture.

Could she maybe have been what we know now as Intersex? Since they're finding overlapping gender characteristics on the bones I wonder.

I have a crush on joann

They didn't analyse At that time for the herb of the Goddess devotee's cocaine. The local herb and at that time worth going into battle with. Like the Germans and their opium against the Russians. Wonderful programme
