You should put the phrase "I have made a model" on a shirt, as a fellow model builder it always makes me smile.

Reminds me of the story of American President Benjamin Harrison finding his father's (son of former US president W.H. Harrison, Granddad of B.H.) dead corpse in a hospital, after helping a friend look for his own father's stolen corpse. <br><br>It cause big uproar in the US.

I love how Kevin always seems to upload just as I'm about to go to bed. Always nice to learn something new before calling it a day

Nothing better than seeing a History Squad video come out just as my lunch hour begins! <br><br>Happily dug into a greggs and learned some history, it was a good lunch. Great work Mr.Hicks.<br><br>I saw you at Warwick Castle as a young teen, now I'm watching you on YouTube as a lawyer. How time flies, and history is created.

Mr.Hicks, I Love history but, you offer me more than history. You offer me a glimpse into the past. A way to see the world through the eyes of the time. Not to judge but, to gain a bit of understanding. For one day someone will look back to see the time I live in and I pray someone like you, Mr.Hicks, is there to give them a glimpse into our mindset. God Bless!

The Resurrection Men sounds like it should be a band from the 80's

I find the idea of these Egyptian mummy unwrapping dinner parties captivating, having a mummy as a centrepiece, unwrapped and eaten, their bones crushed up and smoked. The Victorian and Edwardian view on mortality is fascinating! Great topic Kevin with some very interesting stories! I really enjoy these unusual tales you find!

what a curse. Instead of learning chemistry, science, math or skills I watch old fogey history programs about how grave robbers robbed graves. and its what I want to watch. makes me so sad sometimes.
