All of these documentaries need to display a warning before watching them that reads “ Warning the following documentary is highly addictive and may keep you up at night wanting more”

I don't know about you guys, but whenever I see that Fletcher is in a documentary, I get pretty excited. To date those I have seen with her featured have been intriguing and fascinating imo
-
As soon as I hear Dr Joann Fletcher's thick Yorkie accent I know it's going to be a good documentary. Her enthusiasm, tempered with her scientific caution, makes for very enjoyable and enlightening watching.
-
I love Dr. Fletcher. Every episode of every show she's done makes me appreciate her knowledge more.
-
I see some rather nasty comments regarding the Egyptologist's hair. I happen to like curly hair. I was so entertained with the other information that I barely noticed tbh. I was very glad for her expertise.
-
Really good documentary. Joann Fletcher is great, her passion for mummies and Egypt is contagious!
-
I love how people who have never studied chemistry, archaeology or ancient cultures comment on videos like this, telling the scientists all the things they did wrong.
-
Large overbite, singer, male referred to as a female......ladies and gentlemen I give you the Freddie Mercury of ancient Egypt.
-
I would watch Dr. Fletcher give a lecture on paint drying. She's just so passionate about things, without coming across as academic. (That's a compliment, btw.)

Over the centuries, mummies were removed from their crypts and their wrappings by robbers looking for treasures. Often times priests afraid of the mummies being destroyed in the process, would move royal mummies and place them in different coffins and hide them. The fact this mummy doesn't fit well in this coffin points to it's being moved at some time. Museums often put unknown mummies into coffins just to have some place to better store them
-
I would love to see a video on how the support items were made, for example, the wonderful acrylic support frame under the mummy. I think it would be really interesting to see how it's formed, and what measures are taken to ensure it's exactness. Added to this, I've seen some mummies in these videos which seem to be held in place with scrunched up paper (which I'd guess isn't!). Anyway, please consider doing a video on the investigation assistance items, machines and techniques.

joann fletcher a Barnsley lass just like myself the best Egyptology professor we have, she’s amazing. The subjects she covers with such detail is a joy to watch. Keep safe and well to you and yours who is reading this comment.

Did anyone notice that the CT/X-rays are labelled, "Buck tooth mummy"?
-
The "mummy wouldn't have been able to bite into an apple normally"... I doubt the "mummy" can do a lot of things.
-
We should totally put our stories on our coffins too! Wish this tradition didn't get lost.
-
I surmise, though I could be wrong, that the experts figured out things quicker than the documentary makes it appear. I've noticed a pattern in documentaries sometimes that they need to draw things out, especially if there isn't a lot of content in actuality, to make it a full half-hour to forty minute presentation.
