2. It is understood that the Royal Family wanted the young Princes to walk behind their mother’s coffin as a sign of tradition, expressing the continuity of the monarchy and the constitution.
3. Christina Garibaldi, the host of the podcast, asked Mr Anderson whether the King is “haunted” by the decision to make William and Harry take part.

She recalled reading in the book that “Charles has very deep regret about how he forced William and Harry to walk behind their mother’s coffin”. The biographer said: “It probably haunts him because it haunts them still to this day. I really believe is a form of PTSD — Harry has spoken about the triggering event of flying into London, it reminds him of that day when he had to walk behind the coffin. Both Princes have spoken about how that day has affected them (Image: Getty) In the years since the funeral, both William and Harry have spoken out about how difficult they found that day and how it has affected them into adulthood. After the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in September, the Prince of Wales said that walking behind his grandmother’s coffin reminded him of his mother’s funeral 25 years ago.

During his and Kate, Princess of Wales’ first solo outing in their new roles, William said he found the procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey “very difficult”. The couple were visiting Sandringham, the Royal Family’s Norfolk estate, where they spoke with crowds and viewed tributes left by well-wishers.

Later, while speaking to a woman on the verge of tears, the Prince reportedly said: “Don’t cry now, you’ll start me.” DON’T MISS Meghan Markle admitted she has a ‘food fixation’ on podcast Who is your favourite member of the Royal Family? Prince Harry ‘obsessed’ with staying relevant over Prince George Harry and William walked behind their grandmother’s coffin in September (Image: Getty) William has previously spoken about how difficult it was to walk behind his mother’s coffin. In a 2017 documentary, he told the BBC about the “very long, lonely walk,” calling it “one of the hardest things I’ve ever done”.

He admitted he tried to use his hair to hide because he “felt if I looked at the floor and my hair came down over my face, no one could see me”. The prince went on to say it wasn’t “an easy decision” to join the procession and described it as a “sort of collective family decision to do that”. He continued: “There is that balance between duty and family, and that’s what we had to do,” adding there was a difference “between me being Prince William and having to do my bit, versus the private William who just wanted to go into a room and cry, who’d lost his mother”.

Similarly, his younger brother has spoken out about the walk, telling Newsweek in 2017: “My mother had just died, and I had to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television. I don’t think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances, The Waleses and Sussexes joined forces for a walkabout outside Windsor (Image: Getty) In an interview with the BBC two months later, the Duke of Sussex said he didn’t “have an opinion whether that was right or wrong” to join the walk, and said he was “very glad” to have been a part of the day.

The Queen’s funeral marked a solemn reunion for the brothers who walked side-by-side during the emotional procession. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Metro.co.uk the scene symbolically echoed the 1997 funeral, saying it could bring back awful memories for the Princes but coming together following the Queen’s death proves they are “unified in mourning “.

He said: “We must hope the brothers walking behind the coffin will remind the world of what happened in 1997 but hopefully unlike what followed then, this will be a step along a road that will be positive. What the world sees is one thing, but what goes on behind the scenes is another thing.” He added: “Reconciliation has to start somewhere for the brothers, and at this deeply emotional time it is incredibly symbolic they stood closely together behind the Queen’s coffin.

Who are the first human who bury their dead?

Editor’s Note: Sign up for CNN’s Wonder Theory science newsletter. Explore the universe with news on fascinating discoveries, scientific advancements and more. CNN — Researchers have uncovered evidence that members of a mysterious archaic human species buried their dead and carved symbols on cave walls long before the earliest evidence of burials by modern humans.

1. The brains belonging to the extinct species, known as Homo naledi, were around one-third the size of a modern human brain.
2. The revelations could change the understanding of human evolution, because until now such behaviors only have been associated with larger-brained Homo sapiens and Neanderthals,
3. The findings are detailed in three studies that have been accepted for publication in the journal eLife, and preprints of the papers are available on BioRxiv.

Fossils belonging to Homo naledi were first discovered in the Rising Star cave system in South Africa during excavations in 2013. The cave system is part of South Africa’s Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing an area where scientists have found fossils of multiple ancient human ancestor species — remains that are helping to unlock the story of human evolution.

Paleoanthropologist and National Geographic Explorer in Residence Dr. Lee Berger and his team of ” underground astronauts ” have continued their work in the extensive, dangerous caves to better understand the extinct hominins, or ancient human ancestors. Now, the research team has discovered the remains of Homo naledi adults and children that were laid to rest in the fetal position within cave depressions and covered with soil.

The burials are older than any known Homo sapiens burials by at least 100,000 years. During the work to identify the cave burials, the scientists also found a number of symbols engraved on the cave walls, which are estimated to be between 241,000 and 335,000 years old, but they want to continue their testing for more precise dating.

• The symbols include deeply carved hashtag-like cross-hatchings and other geometric shapes.
• Similar symbols found in other caves were carved by early Homo sapiens 80,000 years ago and Neanderthals 60,000 years ago and were thought to have been used as a way to record and share information.
• These recent findings suggest intentional burials, the use of symbols, and meaning-making activities by Homo naledi.

It seems an inevitable conclusion that in combination they indicate that this small-brained species of ancient human relatives was performing complex practices related to death,” said Berger, lead author on two of the studies and coauthor on the third, in a statement.

“That would mean not only are humans not unique in the development of symbolic practices, but may not have even invented such behaviors.” Exploring the labyrinth-like Rising Star cave system and its chambers isn’t for the faint of heart. The team has mapped over 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of the caves so far, which have a vertical depth of 328 feet (100 meters) and expand for more than 656 feet (200 meters) in length, said the studies’ lead geologist Dr.

Tebogo Makhubela, senior lecturer of geology at the University of Johannesburg. The cave system includes deadly steep drops and tiny passageways like Superman’s Crawl, a tunnel measuring 131 feet (40 meters) long and 9.8 inches (25 centimeters) across, requiring the researchers to belly crawl their way through, said Dr.

Keneiloe Molopyane, National Geographic Explorer and lead excavator of Dragon’s Back Expedition (named for one of the cave’s features). Berger said he had to lose 55 pounds (25 kilograms) to enter the cave’s precarious chambers in 2022. “It was the most awful and wonderful experience in my life,” Berger said.

“I almost died coming out of there, but it was obviously worth it to make some of these discoveries. But, I think an important part of that, though, is that the journey would not be nearly as difficult, I think, for Homo naledi.” Homo naledi shared some similarities with humans, like walking upright and manipulating objects by hand, but members of the species had smaller heads, a shorter stature, and were thinner and more powerfully built, Berger said.

• Homo naledi’s shoulders — which were oriented for better climbing — and teeth shared similarities with earlier hominins like Australopithecus, said Dr.
• John Hawks, professor of anthropology and paleoanthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
• The researchers have found many Homo naledi fossils throughout the caves, including the remains of very young infants and aged adults, to help them understand Naledi as a population, Hawks said.

And as the team continued deeper into the caves, it became clear that Homo naledi was very familiar with and using broad parts of the cave system. When Berger and his team announced the discovery of Homo naledi in 2015, they suggested it was possible that the species deliberately disposed of their dead in the cave.

But the idea of a small-brained hominin doing so was considered to be a very controversial hypothesis. In 2018, the team began to find evidence that supported the idea that Homo naledi intentionally buried their dead. The scientists found ovals dug into cave surfaces resembling holes, and the remains of bodies placed inside in curled positions.

Other burial sites were dug horizontally into slopes, with bodies placed inside, showing that the remains didn’t end up there by other, nondeliberate means, Berger said. “It’s not a body that died in a depression or hole. It was a whole body that was covered in dirt and then decayed within the grave itself, in part demonstrating that it was buried at the time as a whole flesh entity, but not by some dramatic collapse or being washed in,” Berger said.

• We feel that they’ve met the litmus test of human burials or archaic human burials and the most ancient human burials, and therefore describe them as graves or burials by the nonhuman species, Homo naledi.” And then, the team found an artifact within a burial and discovered carvings on the wall.
• Within one of the graves is a tool-shaped rock, buried next to the hand of a Homo naledi adult.

Within a passage above the burials, in an antechamber, is a wall covered with rock engravings. The deeply carved geometric shapes appear on dolomite rock walls that reach 4.5 to 4.7 on Mohs Hardness Scale, which helps researchers assess the scratch resistance of minerals.

Dolomite is halfway to a diamond (at the top of the scale) in terms of hardness, which means it would have taken an extreme amount of time and effort to carve into the walls, Berger said. The team believes that Homo naledi, and not Homo sapiens, are responsible for the carvings because there is no evidence that humans have ever been inside the caves.

Homo naledi was able to see what they were doing inside the caves by using fire. There is evidence spread throughout the caves, including soot, charcoal and burnt bone, to show that they were actively setting fires, Berger said. Both the burials and the symbols imply that Homo naledi was capable of engaging in meaningful behaviors, said Agustín Fuentes, National Geographic Explorer, on-site biocultural specialist and lead author of the third study,

The meaning of the symbols is unclear, and researchers can’t say whether they were used as a type of language or communication within the species. “What we can say is that these are intentionally made geometric designs that had meaning for naledi,” Fuentes said. “That means they spent a lot of time and effort and risked their lives to engrave these things in these places where they’re burying bodies.” The naledi findings suggest that larger brains can’t be the only connection with complex behavior that researchers once assumed related only to humans, Fuentes said.

“The challenge here, then, is that we now know that Homo naledi, in addition to Homo sapiens and Neanderthals and Denisovans and a few others, were engaging in the kind of behavior that we, even just a few decades ago, thought was unique to us,” he said.

That means we need to rethink the timing of fire use, of meaning-making and of the burial of the dead in hominin history.” Chris Stringer, research leader in human origins at London’s Natural History Museum, said that although he was previously skeptical of claims of behavioral complexity in Homo naledi and its ape-size brain, “the considerable evidence presented now by Berger and colleagues for possible burials and wall engravings cannot be easily dismissed.” Stringer was not involved in the research.

“I would certainly like to see attempts at dating the evidence for the engravings and for the fire, but if these huge claims turn out to be well-founded, they have profound implications for our reconstructions of human evolution,” Stringer said. The findings raise many questions, including whether the behaviors were already present in an ancient common ancestor that lived much earlier than Homo naledi or humans, and why we have such big brains “if human-like behavioural complexity can be achieved with a brain less than half that size,” Stringer said.

Berger and his colleagues’ work on the discovery of Homo naledi and how it potentially changes the human family tree will be shared in Netflix’s “Unknown: Cave of Bones” on July 17 and in a book coauthored by Berger and Hawks called “Cave of Bones: A True Story of Discovery, Adventure, and Human Origins,” available August 8.

The research team is continuing its work to better understand Homo naledi, including how old the species is, whether it existed closer in time to humans than previously thought, and if there is any DNA preserved in the bones found in the cave system.

Did Camilla go to Diana funeral?

Camilla, the current queen consort, may have been at Diana and Charles’s wedding in 1980. one, but she was not present for Diana’s funeral. nearly 16 years later. Apparently, the Queen made it clear to Charles.

Who did not bow to Diana’s coffin

When Princess Diana passed away in 1997, even Queen Elizabeth bowed her head to Princess. Diana’s coffin. But Princess. Margaret chose not to bow her head in respect.

Why did Queen Elizabeth bow at Diana’s coffin?

Was anyone ever saved by a coffin alarm?

Safety coffin demonstration – In 1822, Dr Adolf Gutsmuth of Seehausen, Altmark, demonstrated his design by having himself buried alive, whereupon he ‘stayed underground for several hours and had a meal of soup, beer, and sausages served through the coffin’s feeding tube’ Although several designs were built and sold, there is no indication that any dead person was ever buried in a safety coffin.

1. Most models had sufficient design flaws to suggest that they would have been unlikely to have worked properly if they had actually been used.
2. For example the models that required ropes to be tied directly to the arms and legs, so that the alarm was raised upon any sign of movement of the deceased, would all have been triggered by the natural movements of the limbs that occur as the body putrefies and bloats.

Safety coffins are still available today. As recently as 1995 an Italian Fabrizio Caselli invented a model that includes an emergency alarm, two-way microphone/speaker, a torch, oxygen tank, heartbeat sensor and heart stimulator. The security coffin designed by Dr Johann Gottfried Taberger in 1829 alerted a cemetery night watchman by a bell which was activated by a rope connected to strings attached to the hands, feet and head of the ‘corpse’.

1. The bell housing prevented the alarm from sounding by wind or birds landing on it.
2. The design of the tube prevented rain water from wetting the ‘corpse’, and contained mesh to stop nuisance insects.
3. On the event of the bell sounding, a second tube was to be inserted at the foot of the coffin and air pumped through with a bellows.

The patent for another safety coffin, the ‘Vester Burial Case’, states: The nature of this invention consists of placing on the lid of the coffin, and directly over the face of the body laid therein, a square tube, which extends from the coffin up through and over the surface of the grave, said tube containing a ladder and a cord, one end of said cord being placed in the hand of the person laid in the coffin, and the other being attached to a bell on the top of the square tube, so that, should a person be interred ere life is extinct, he can, on recovery to consciousness, ascend from the grave and the coffin by the ladder; or, if not able to ascend by said ladder, ring the bell, thereby giving an alarm, and thus save himself from premature burial and death; and, if on inspection, life is extinct, the tube is withdrawn, the sliding door closed, and the tube used for a similar purpose.

Was the little girl found in the coffin alive?

A 3-year-old girl in Mexico had two funerals and two death certificates, after her family discovered during the first ceremony that their daughter, pronounced dead by the hospital the day before, was still alive, Camila Peralta was first registered deceased on August 17 by hospital doctors in her hometown of Villa de Ramos, the same day that her mother, Mary Jane Mendoza, brought her to the paediatrician reporting that the girl was ill with stomach pain, fever and vomiting. In this photo, a stock image of a coffin. A 3-year-old in Mexico had two funerals and two death certificates after her family discovered she was still alive after the first time the hospital declared her dead. Getty Images According to what Mendoza told Mexican newspaper El Universal – San Luis Potosi, the girl was sent to the hospital to be treated for dehydration.

“I took her to the hospital. I went in with her and they took off her clothes, put wet towels on her to lower her fever and the pulse oximeter on her finger,” Mendoza said. “They sent me to ask for some suppositories. They put them in, and that was it. After an hour, they gave her back to me. They told me that she was fine, and they prescribed two sachets of serum and 30 drops of paracetamol.” However, once back home, the girl did not seem to be any better, according to her mother.

The family brought her to a private doctor who told them to hurry Camila to a hospital. She was readmitted to the Salinas De Hidalgo Community Hospital, where she was brought earlier in the day. “They wanted to give her IV therapy,” Mendoza said. “They took a long time to put oxygen on her.

They didn’t put it on her because they couldn’t find her little veins; finally a nurse managed it.” Mendoza said she wasn’t allowed to stay in the hospital room with her daughter, and she waited outside until doctors came to tell her the girl had not survived. “Ten minutes later, they had her with nothing and disconnected.

They did not do an electrocardiogram. I arrived and grabbed my baby. She was still hugging me. “I felt my girl’s strength. They took her away from me and told me, ‘Let her rest in peace,'” Mendoza said. The family organized a funeral to be held the following day, with Camila’s body lying in a small glass coffin.

1. However, during the ceremony, Mendoza noticed that the glass coffin was fogging up, as if the little girl were still breathing.
2. At first, Mendoza’s concerns that Camila might still be alive were reportedly dismissed by those at the funeral as the wishful thinking of a distraught parent.
3. But when the little girl started moving her eyes, the coffin was opened and Camila was found still to have a pulse.

The family rushed the little girl to the hospital, but she could not be resuscitated and later died of what the doctors said was a cerebral edema, a deadly swelling of the brain. “We are devastated because my girl was a very happy person, and she got along with everyone.

1. She didn’t single anyone out,” Mendoza said.
2. According to the mother, Camila, who had just turned three, was excited to be starting kindergarten and to have tiny lunchboxes like one she saw on TikTok,
3. The family, which now holds two separate death certificates stating two different causes of death, is now suing the Salinas de Hidalgo Basic Community Hospital for negligence,

“What I really want is for justice to be served. I have no grudge against the doctors went to extreme,” Mendoza said. “I only ask that the doctors, nurses and directors be changed so that it does not happen again.” An investigation is underway, according to the General State Attorney Jose Luis Ruiz.

Did Prince Charles cry when Diana died

King Charles’ shocking reaction to Princess Diana’s death: ‘Almost fainted’ By Tuesday, November 15, 2022

King Charles III’s reaction to the death of his former wife Princess Diana in 1997 reportedly shocked royal aides, with an expert claiming that he ‘collapsed’ and cried uncontrollably despite his differences with Diana. The revelation came from royal expert Christopher Andersen, who recently penned a book on the new monarch titled The King: The Life of Charles III, in which he detailed just how dysfunctional Charles and Diana’s marriage was before ending in divorce. Despite their differences, however, Andersen shared how moved King Charles was upon learning of Diana’s death, saying that he was left ‘ashen and trembling’ with the phone in his hand. “He then let out a cry of pain was that so spontaneous and came from the heart,” Andersen further shared, also citing one witness describing it as a ‘howl of anguish’. “Palace staff rushed over to Charles’ room and found him collapsed in an armchair, weeping uncontrollably,” the royal author also shared.

Andersen went on to state: “I don’t think people realize how really stricken he was by her death. I interviewed the nurses in the hospital who saw him when he came into the room and saw her body for the first time. And he looked like he’d been hit in the face.” “He reeled back.
