On this channel I show you real people who lived on our planet many years ago. For fans of Anthropology and History. Today I'm going to tell you about....

Saint Nicholas lived in what is now Turkey, in the city of Myra. According to legend, Nicholas had a habit of secretly leaving gifts for the needy. Once he planted a purse with money in the house of a poor townsman who was going to sell one of his daughters to a brothel. According to legend, Nicholas tossed the purse into the stove pipe, and it fell into a stocking drying by the stove.

In 1950, during the repair of the crypt, his remains were studied by an Italian anthropologist, Professor Luigi Martino. The research showed that the age of the deceased was about 60 years old, his height was 167 cm. Nikolai's head was slightly elongated, his face was short and broad, and his chin protruded forward. The researcher noticed a badly broken nose, which was asymmetrically fused. This may have been the result of the torture to which Nicholas was subjected during the persecution of Christians.
