1
Some mysteries are just waiting to be solved, and some end up revealing themselves.
2
When the King of England, Richard III, was thrown into his grave 500 years ago, it started one of the biggest mysteries of all time.
3
Centuries of lies, rumors, myths, and mistakes led to his burial site becoming shrouded in mystery.
4
And the question was, where did he go?
5
All of this led one lady to a small parking lot in England, where all of a sudden an enormous clue revealed itself.
6
This is the story of how one of England's most famous kings vanished, and the incredible work that went into tracking him down.
7
We modeled the entire thing to show you how his body was found
8
and the 500-year-old DNA test that proved it was really him.
9
When the Battle of Bosworth came to an end, Richard III was found dead.
10
His enemy, Henry Tudor, immediately declared himself king, himself king, and Richard's body was taken off to the town of Leicester
11
and put on display for the whole town to see.
12
According to records, he was buried unceremoniously beneath the Greyfriars church, and a monument was eventually placed above his grave.
13
But 40 years later, Henry VIII began taking down the Catholic church, and in just five years, every church across the country was shut down,
14
and many were demolished, including Greyfriars.
15
The The land where it once stood was eventually bought by the Mayor of Leicester, and a mansion was built on top of the site.
16
Although the monument had been destroyed, the mayor knew exactly where Richard was located, and so he placed his own monument to mark the spot.
17
But in 1611, a story was published that would completely alter the course of this mystery.
18
Written by historian John Speed, it stated that when the church was demolished,
19
Richard's body had been taken out by an angry mob and buried under the nearby Bow Bridge.
20
Although it wasn't clear where this story came from, people started to believe it, and over time, it became the truth.
21
By the 1800s, everyone knew this story, and eventually, a plaque was placed next to the bridge to mark the spot of Richard's burial.
22
A few years later, a skeleton was found in the river, and people believed they had actually found the body of Richard III.
23
By the 21st century, the actual whereabouts of the king were a complete mystery.
24
The mayor's mansion that once marked his grave was long gone, and the original Greyfriars church was now buried under several layers of buildings.
25
But in the early 2000s, members of the Richard III Society started looking for him.
26
Thanks to modern technology, they were able to recreate Richard's burial using InVideoAI.
27
Just kidding!

37
In order to find Richard III, the search team had to go back through the history books and figure out what really happened after he was buried.
38
They started looking into John Speed's story of Richard being buried under the bridge, and that's when they came across something really interesting.
39
John had traveled to Leicester in 1611 to look for Richard's grave and to make a detailed map of the city.
40
But when he got there, all he found was an overgrown field and no monument.
41
The search team took a closer look at his map, and they realized that the Greyfriars church had been drawn in the wrong location.
42
And it had actually been drawn in the location of the Blackfriars church.
43
Speed had clearly gone to the wrong church, and that's why he didn't find a grave.
44
If he had gone to the right place, he would have come across the Mayor's mansion with a monument marking where Richard lay.
45
Since he hadn't found a grave, he invented the story of Richard being buried under the bridge.
46
This was most likely inspired by the real story of a local priest who actually was dug up
47
and thrown in the river years before.
48
All of this proved that Speed's story was actually false, and the team could focus their efforts on looking for the Greyfriars church.
49
But any evidence of the church had long since been covered by buildings, and so finding it would be a huge challenge.
50
The earliest map that showed any detail was from 1741, and it showed the Greyfriars' area,
51
which at that point contained the Mayor's mansion and the surrounding gardens.
52
The monument that once marked Richard's grave would have stood somewhere in this area.
53
By overlaying more modern maps, it showed that a road was eventually built through the area, and today's buildings had been built on top of the gardens.
54
By the 21st century, the Greyfriars area had been almost completely covered by buildings, and the remaining bits of land had been turned into parking lots.
55
In 2005, Philippa Langley, who was leading the research, came to one of these parking lots to investigate.
56
When she was there, she had a strong feeling that she was in the right place.
57
And then, as if by magic, a sign revealed itself.
58
Although this R was obviously just a reserved parking spot, she felt like this was the place to start digging.
59
And so, several years later, a team of archaeologists led by Philippa finally got permission to dig.
60
But they only had enough money to dig up a fraction of the parking lot, and so they had to be very efficient.
61
Churches were typically positioned from east to west, And so, they planned to dig three trenches that would hopefully overlap with part of the church.
62
On the 25th of August, exactly 527 years since Richard was buried, the team started digging the first trench.
63
The whole project was expected to take around two weeks, and the chances of actually finding a grave seemed almost impossible.
64
But, amazingly, just six hours into the first day, they came across a skeleton just a few meters away from the letter R.
65
It had major damage to the skull and a uniquely curved spine.
66
Richard was often referred to as a hunchback, with one shoulder being higher than the other.
67
This curved spine and the damage to the skull was a big sign that they had just found Richard III.
68
But in order to really prove it was him, the team had to use every modern technique imaginable.
69
One method was to take DNA from the skeleton and see
70
if it matched with a known descendant of Richard III one of the best chances was to look for the mitochondrial DNA.
71
But this type of DNA only gets passed down by mothers.
72
And so the team had to hope
73
that there was an unbroken line of female generations that led all the way to Richard III.
74
Amazingly, there was.
75
By looking instead at Richard III's sister, they were able to track down 16 generations of females, all the way to a woman called Joy Brown.
76
Sadly, she had passed away, but her son, Michael Ibsen, was still alive.
77
The same DNA that Richard got from his mother should also have been passed down to Michael Ibsen.
78
But, if just one of these points in the family tree was incorrect, it would throw the whole thing off.
79
And so, to make it more certain, they traced down another line of females, which led to a woman called Wendy.
80
By comparing her DNA with Michael's, they were able to confirm that they were both related to each other, and therefore, direct descendants of Richard III's mother.
81
Before they could get DNA results from Richard's skeleton, they sent it off to do carbon dating tests which would determine the age of the skeleton.
82
Our bodies absorb carbon-14, but when we die, the carbon-14 starts to decay at a known rate.
83
By calculating how much carbon-14 was left in the skeleton, the scientists could determine how long the body had been dead for.
84
As it turns out, the results initially showed that the body was a few decades older than Richard's.
85
But what the results also showed was that whoever it was, they had a protein-rich seafood diet,
86
which would have only been possible for someone living a high-class life.
87
This was a crucial bit of information, because a diet like this would have altered how much carbon-14 was lost.
88
Factoring this in, the new results showed that the skeleton was almost certainly from the time of Richard's death.
89
At the same time, the results from the DNA test were in, and they showed a clear match between Michael and the skeleton, proving that the search for Richard III was over.
90
And now, time for the Primal Space Giveaway.
91
The winner of the previous giveaway is Landon.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
