Dr Ruysch 1/3 History of Dissection & Embalming

[speedmasteruk1]

its amazing what you come across on youtube. some shocking stuff in this video, but worth watching. thank you ghostwatching for uploading it.

[ZolotayaKoshka]

Hah, certainly not true now that the Kunstkammer is not in the guidebooks for tourists... It's one of the most popular sightseeing spots, and there's usually queues into the street.

[3275Marsmallow]

WTF! I live near Amsterdam!

How creapy! o,O''

[DasmaCalubayan]

why the cadaver in the painting is not in the anatomical position? why?

[wickedlittlethings]

Does anyone know the name of the painting and/or artist shown at 2:49? Thanks.

[TudorRose85]

4:39 That hand a a nice manicure. 

[GaijinGDB]

Let's spiff up those body parts with a few ruffles!

[Gmacc187]

This is raw



[popazz1]

Two hot looking Russian soldier-boys at the beginning,lol! The rest? Fascinating material,if just a tad macabre,i.e. the baby's head!

[ltuomela]

now that im back here i watch,and yes alot was needed for today's medicine..but lets not forget there was natural medicine before disease was spread through out Europe,and then brought across the ocean..the rich were pigs back then sexing every chick that walked,hence most disease....France inparticular..but its the way it is..one would have to go insane doing this shit back then..just insane..these people forget about souls,even though they say, soul is here...bullshit..its all lab rats to them

[ltuomela]

ha! part 2 he does go insane..my point taken...

[thegagalover1]

[tman8077]

Those poor children!

[DonBringer]

in Russia, i dont know! XD

[scottieman2]

A bit of an image problem? Gee, I wonder.....

[ltuomela]

4:22 basically they murdered poor folk..while wearing the stupid wigs..amazing how well preserved these things are

[TheFroggirl33]

@ltuomela No, they were already dead. The poor were purchased by scientists/doctors when they died because families couldn't afford burial. And we all have to give some kind of thanks for all this disecting beccause thanks to these people, most diseases and ailments today are curable.

[ltuomela]

k believe what you want,ill believe what i want,but remember back in the day the poor were nothing to these people..i mean nothing,arrogant fucks man.so it was hang um..or grave rob them,or just plain kill them cause they wear burlap sacks for clothes.its truth man..it really is,sad to.natives in the Americas in this time frame would never ever think of disrespecting even the poor..and before white man come along these people were not poor money was not even in the vocabulary,trading was

[ltuomela]

i dunno man,but as ugly as this seems it took this kinda stuff to make medical science what it is..in essence its why we know so much about the human body and can do what surgeons do..how else would one learn...with anything you have to dissect it...having said that,no way in hell could even come close to doing such things...not me man..but it is interesting and thats why 16k have viewed it in a year..give it time i bet it hits a million views..

[snuckles108]

Things like these interest me a lot seeing limbs and dead bodies of someone in a jar for scientific reason.

[xXKRiSTiNXx1990]

i like ruysch.. XD

[MissIshii]

I am so glad that people are adding eduaction videos to youtube... Now that I am out of school and I dont have pay tv it is very hard to see interesting doccumentries... thank you so much for sharing.

[ltuomela]

@MissIshii yea agreed, when i found the tube it was like a kid in a candy store..lol..can find anything man,well use to until all the rules came about..lmao

[superCatia]

Superb documentary! Those specimens look new! It reminds  me of Von Hagens!

[MajestyInTears]

At about 2:32 a piece of music starts, can anyone tell me what it is? Great video as always, GhostWatching!!

[ceke72]

It's 'Libera Me' by American Boys Choir from the Interview with a Vampire Soundtrack.

[goodluckpeace44]

ha ha ha

foreighners going to tour in countries where they would be disected

[mozzmarket]

you have the best vids on youtube, keep up th good work ................whoever you are?

[doktorsawade]

I was there in 1996. I was doing the soundboard for an East German band, Sandow, and the tour was being filmed for a documentary. I had read about the Ruysch Collection and suggested it as a locale to film. Strings were pulled and the Ethnographic Museum allowed us to film the collection on Monday (when museums remain traditionally closed). We spent many twisted hours there, must be a good body of footage in the SFB archives.

[Luka78nl]

A Dutchman! I cannot help feeling proud, though it's gruwsome to todays ethics.

Pretty funny to suddenly hear to woman speak Dutch, LOL!

Btw, the name Ruysch isn't pronounced correctly, but that's ok :-)

[pissichrissi]

Fantastic.. Really interesting. Can anyone tell me the name of the music at the beginning of the docco?

[gaiushelen9]

there was a similar (though not as extensive) medical museum attatched to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where I work. I remember visiting it as a very young and silly student. It was grim

[donniganclan123]

excellent

[sydneyfey]

Very interesting view on the "soul" It makes alot sence in a physical way.

[Spiritwolfe07]

So very fascinating learning about medical pioneers. Thank you for the videos. I love history, but I feel blessed living in this age as far as medicine is concerned. Thank you again.
