  As a current soldier, I respect past warriors. Thank you in their honor and memory.

  The way I see it, these people are our ancestors. As such, they should be protected and shown the respect you would show your own family. When I heard the Crusader, and the Nun near him were vandalized, it made me feel sick that someone could be so callus and hateful to those that came before us. I suppose the silver lining is that the Crusader's head was recovered and now he rests in a new coffin. Thank you for sharing this visit into St. Michan's Church crypt with us!

  Tour guide had a sense of humor. Not boring facts/history; but humor that made  the tour memorable and lightened up the seriousness of the tombs.

  BOY!!!! a lot to take in there. First of all, amazing entry, down through the hatch door, you can almost feel yourself going back centuries, then the mummies of course were incredible, especially the crusader, never knew about crossing the feet for the crucifix, that is very enlightening, too bad about the break-in, at least they didn’t ruin everything.  The two mummies that flank the crusader remind me of those from Pompeii, the Mount Vesuvius victims. And most interesting to see the ornate decorations on those coffin ends, And all of those written artifacts. Big intrigue is at the death mask. Those are always very spellbinding. Too much to take in and describe, but this is Fantastic, and is my favorite kind of stuff. What a great find, hopefully this episode goes viral, it should!!!

  Absolutely amazing! The Crusader mummy is a gem in itself. 6 ft 6, 800 years ago, he would have been a giant!

  Really sad to find out the mummies were destroyed this afternoon. We were literally at the noon tour today, so it's quite harrowing to be among the last to see them... 😢

  That was awesome Sue, and your guide was exceptional! Many years ago ( almost 40 ) I was on a mystery tour with a local bus company; we were taken to Baltimore and given a tour of the church and cemetery where Edgar Allen Poe is buried. We were taken into the catacombs and saw the stacks of bones(?) that were still there, and since we were there on October 30th, we got to see Poe’s bottle of wine, that show’s up mysteriously every year. It was incredible, and I need to read up on these things as it was a LONG time ago.

  The mummies were amazing.  The story of the brothers and the rules for their demise was something else. Thank you for this very unique and interesting video.

  Wow! That was amazing. To see the coffin of Wolfe Tone, an historical figure, is unbelievable. His death mask beside it was an old custom. You are so lucky to have gone into these underground crypts. It's astonishing to see how well preserved the remains of others are. Thank you for this
