(13,840 posts)YouTube put their little "altered or synthetic content" banner in the upper left of the video at the beginning.
If you click on the channel from which this was posted (something called Unseen Depths), you'll see that it it was started two weeks ago and features nothing but AI generated content.
This kind of stuff is all over YouTube. People start tons of these channels, post these error-filled, AI videos with clickbait titles, and wait for the money to roll in.

Dr Turi King and Professor Kevin Schϋrer discuss the findings of the genetic and genealogical analysis in the King Richard III case. This includes coverage of all the genealogical research, and the results of the mitochondrial and Y chromosome analysis.
It also includes the genetically-predicted hair and eye colour of Richard III as well as the results of the Bayesian analysis of all the evidence in the case to come to a conclusion about the identity of Skeleton 1 from the Greyfriars in Leicester.
The producers of the clip wish to express their grateful thanks to the Royal Collection Trust, Society of Antiquaries of London, Michael Ibsen, Wendy Duldig, Anooshka Rawden and John Holt.
This film was produced by External Relations, University of Leicester.

(2,822 posts)was destroyed somewhere around 1538, during Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries period. The land was used for various other things since then, to today, when an office building and parking garage now sit on the site. It was during the prepping of the site that Richards body was discovered. As per rules in the u.k., as I understand them, the site was shut down for a time so archeologists could investigate it.

(2,822 posts)Just looking at the u.k., how many times was one ruler deposed by another who became ruler, usually through some war or battle? Prior to 1066, much of the u.k. was divided into many small kingdoms. After 1066, it took time to unite all those kingdoms into one, and various battles by Williams descendants created havoc as they fought for the throne.
