Napoleon's missing hand, explained

Free masonry

I surely know why. Napoleon had epilepsy. It cause seizures which caused should problems. His arm would come out of socket. To protect it he isolated it. Common epilepsy problem.

I got an picture of my anster Joseph Hardin him and his brother Major colonized East Tennessee Hardin Valley to be exact he has his hand in his shirt just like Napoleon on his picture i believe Napoleon has been washed like a lot of people they tried to do that with my people we got pictures and were still here

He just hide the blicky in his coat

I read in a few books that putting the hand like that was synonymous with secret socities. While the books did talk about what this video talks about, the secret socties adopted it as the meaning from everything from "the hidden hand" doing works to it being a sign of people being in various secret socities.

Vox, you should try telling the truth for once.

Winston Churchill, FDR, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin....all Freemasons. I don't know the other "leaders" of that time off the top of my head and based on that as well as who followed behind all of them, let's just assume they were all in on it just like they are today.

If Napolean was in fact a real person, he was credited with the quote "History is a lie agreed upon". That being said, 2020 should tell everyone who has any working brain cells left that they should be questioning everything we are told by so called "experts" or "authorities".

so it is not because he was so close to freemasons then ?

Yeah i would've known to pose with my hand in my jacket. But i wouldn't have known it was so common.

"Hide your iron hand inside a velvet glove and appear with the sweetest of smiles..."
Kind of quote I once read, referenced to Napoleon in the intro to 48 laws of power book.

dalle: because hands are hard to paint

It’s because he was holding the apple of Eden

Never knew that. Wow.

walkman

Like, NO
That's a very famous sign of early freemasons communicating their status with each other, and at the time of Napoleon it wasn't a secret anymore but still it showed connection to the brotherhood

Che str**zata, il motivo è un altro ed è occulto

Stalin did it too

Asking Americans about an worldwide European figure is the first step in getting the video totally wrong. But well, you have quotas to fill

Had chocolate... But didn't want to share... 🤣

Freemason symbolism, member of the anti-Christ

Napoleon probably had a rotator cuff injury from the many battles he was in and rather than wear a sling, he put his hand in his coat for support

I think in Poland a lot of people know this hand pouse but it can be because he is in our anthem and all

The hand is one of his most famours features...how did any of those ignorant millenials didn't know about it...

Had his hand on that short musket, always ready for the opps, mans was never lackin💯

Its was a fashion statement of the time.

Lies! Napoleon isn't dead. He pretends to be russian and leads a country right now.

In this video, Vox discovers for the first time that this was a very common pose for portraits for a very long time and Napoleon was just one of many, many people to use it. What is it like to not know this?

This video completely misses the point. It's the hidden hand sign of freemasonry.

Waoh, I learned something. As a french kid, if you have to learn about the hand thing it's always said that it's because Napoleon had chronic stomach pains. I was told as a kid that he had ulcers due to the stress of his position.

Freemason

In every picture it is his right hand, but in the monument it is his left!

Because he was a Freemason. He’s just saluting his rank to other masons.

How is it possible that so many young people are so ignorant of the reality of Napoleon, yet so familiar with myths, like the nonsense about him being short?

GET AWAY THIS MAN FROM BOOKS

GET THE SHARPIE FROM HIS HAND!!

Reminds me on Al Bundy with his hand in his pants.

When I was taking parasitology in veterinary school I was taught Napolean had scabies, a very itchy skin infestation. He was unable to stand and pose without slipping his hand into his shirt and scratch his chest.

The Hidden hand of Freemasonry...


...it wasn't just Napoleon.

Several times it mentions that Napoleon was short, but that is false. He was 1.68 m tall. That was average height for the time period.

FreeMason.

You forgot Al Bundy

Absolute nonsense, this gesture is a Free Masonic symbol called the "hidden hand". All the people portrayed doing this are very high degreed masons.

This is proof of just how ignorant young people of today are. "That's what Napoleon looked like!?" SMH.

Napoleon had Al Bundy syndrome.

it will cost you a arm and a leg,, it cost more to paint hand details. 😮

Interesting!!

Napoleon died from being poisoned with arsenic by Louis Marchand

Itching

NOOOO , he is holding on to his wallet (a lot of thieves around him) 😁😁👌👌

He was doing the Al Bundy.

Why the heck would you draw on a book? Eurgh.

wow the americans are even more uneducated than I thought ..
