You may have 50 million dollars hiding in your attic.

Nobody likes to go in to their attic because the attic is just a shame hole for all the stuff that you're scared to have in your house and to afraid to get rid of. For me thou, i love going in the attic, it is a mystical place where you never know what you're gonna find. I always get excited about it, except i dont have an attic, so i'm pretty bitter. Especially when we're gonna talk about these amazing things that people have found in their attics.

Lets kick things off with an attic in Diepholz, Germany. In 2013, a 10 year old Alexander was exploring his grandmother's attic, when he found a mummy!! Not a mommy, a mummy. This is an Egyptian mummy, fully wrapped in cloth inside a sarcophagus. In the eye socket of the mummy, there was a little arrowhead, mysterious, right?

So they send this thing off for analysis, it comes back and it turns out the head is completely authentic but the rest of the body is just plastic, its just like a mummified RoboCop! Turns out the arrowhead was fake and it was just a children's toy. No one has confirmed whether or not that was Alexander's. He was up there just like, sticking the thing you know.

So how does this happen? Well in the 50's, Alexander's grandfather travelled to Africa and came home with a chest, and inside was this thing. Fun fact, in the 50's, there were these things called mummy unwrapping parties, which were social gathering where people would get together and unwrap mummies! That was a thing! Sitting around just talking yelling at each other over music, standing around at the stupid parties that people have today, lets unwrap dead people!

2011 in Utah. Josh Ferrin bought a new house, and he's checking it out, and like every guy, he goes into the garage, to the man cave, checks it out and stuff. Then he find this panel up above with some carpet coming out. And he's quoted as saying, "I thought maybe this could be a little hidey-hole and my kids could go up there and play." So he discovered it's an entrance to another part of the attic. He goes up there, he dings a military box, like an ammo box that he opens up. Check it out, it has rolls of money in it, nothing but rolls.

Then he looks and finds another box, and another box, and another box. Seven boxes of them and he brings them down. He and his wife start counting all the money, $45,000 of bills rolled up.

Turns out it belonged to the former and now deceased homeowner, Arnold Bangerter, who worked for the Department of Fish and Game. And over a decade, he was saving all this money and wrapping it in orange fishing twine. Josh returned the money, good for you Josh. But he said there was some dissent within the family, but Josh said he would not name names. IMO, of course it was the wife, guess Josh is going to spend the next few weeks sleeping in the hidey-hole~

Next one is in 1991, Moscow. Alexandra Besymenskaja was in her dad's attic looking for his badminton racquet. She finds a box that says, "Fuhrerhauptquartier." When translated, that is "Fuhrer Headquaters". And for those of you who are students of history, you know that that means it belonged to Hitler! It was actually his personal record collection.

Turns out that Alexandra's father was a captain in the Russian military and after the fall of Nazi Germany, he was given the responsibility of transporting some of Hitler's belongings to another place in Germany, guess he took a little detour.

So the question in everybody's mind, what was in the collection? Well it was actually just a bunch of Russian composers. Interestingly, the Nazis thought the Russians where subhuman. So he was willing to listen to some subhuman music. Hitler, ya jerk!
