1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nason.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: King Richard, What did he know about King Richard?

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 3: Wow?

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 4: Question without notice? But I do happen to know a

5
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 4: lot about King Richard. King Richard was only king for

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 4: a couple of years. But those years, actually, I'm going

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 4: to have to look up what the years were for. Like,

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 4: he died in fourteen eighty five at the Battle of Bosworth,

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 4: but they found his body underneath a ring road car

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 4: park in Leicester. Obviously he wasn't buried under a car

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 4: park when he was buried. There wasn't a ring road.

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 4: All the shops at Leicester. But it was slight ignomy

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 4: to think, oh, they're digging up a parking lot, and oh,

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 4: there's a monarch. And also he was he was depicted

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 4: in Shakespeare one hundred years after his death as a hunchback,

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: so he was kind of mocked for his body. And

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 4: yet when they found his body they could see that

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 4: he wasn't a hunchback, so he'd had no curvature of

19
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: the spine, so he wasn't the character that Shakespeare had

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 4: traded him to be. So first of all, he's depicted

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 4: right throughout history as a hunchback and found under a

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 4: car park. So apart from that, things are really going

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 4: on the wall.

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: We get the hunchbacks anymore.

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: Dear well, no, I guess we have surgery, what courvature

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 4: of the spine. We now have scoliosis, trick.

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: Embraces and all these where and gifted science tists and

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: things like that. And this is in your wheelhouse as well,

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: because news about King Richard. Sure, we know what he

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: looks like, but on your boyfriend's news last night, pretty

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: boy Ferguson more King Richard News.

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: We already know what he looked like. But thanks to

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: advancements in technology, we now know what King Richard the

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: Third sounded like. Some five hundred years after his death,

35
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: scientists have reconstructed the late monarch's voice.

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: Prince of Wales and Airl of Chester to have charge

37
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: of those parts under govern them undefender.

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 3: After his remains were unearthed in a car park more

39
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: than a decade ago. Researchers work with forensic psychologists, dentists

40
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: and speech therapists to map out his voice, right down

41
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: to his strong Yorkshire accent.

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: Forensic psychologists Anita McGregor, your colleague Forbachattory, that's what she does.

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: She's worked that out.

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: Not really, that's not the work she does. So he's

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 4: been vilified as a hunchback. And when I say villified,

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 4: he was I think portrayed by Shakespeare's not a nice

47
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 4: character and kind of a strange king one off. He's

48
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: going from the grave. That's not my voice either, Get

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: it right.

50
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: Well that's what science told me.

51
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: Well tell you what else science has been Well, this

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: was a few years ago. This sort of mapping up

53
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 4: the vocal cause to hear what people sounds like, what

54
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: people sounds like, they sounds like me isn't new. In

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 4: twenty twenty, they tried to work out what an Egyptian

56
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 4: priest from three thousand years ago would sound like. So

57
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: they got this guy, Pharaoh, his name was Nessimum, and

58
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: they reproduced the same thing. They looked at his vocal

59
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: chords and worked out how he would have sounded. So

60
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 4: this was he was alive between ten ninety nine and

61
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: ten sixty nine BC, and this is what he sounded like.

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: Scientists were able to mimic NeSSI Amun's voice by recreating

63
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 4: his mouth and vocal chords with a three D printer.

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: It allowed them to produce a single sound.

65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: No, okay, is that.

66
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: It that's it.

67
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 4: They went to all that trouble and got that. And

68
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: they've said he would have had to have a loud

69
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: voice because he had to command troops. Exer, you come

70
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: here one more time.

71
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: That's science. That's what we're doing in the future. That's

72
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: what's happening now, as I said on this day in

73
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, because we already know what Caesar, Julius

74
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: Caesar sounded like.

75
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: What did he sound like?

76
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: I have a very great friend in woe called because

77
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: Ah
