Always thought TT iron age shows were the most disappointing. A broken stone, loads of "Rituals" , filled in with make and do experiments. Only thing worse is Phil drooling over a chip of flint 😂
Enjoying 2 and a half hours of videos.
Let Mick try the dowsers. They should move for him as well. Also, wouldn't landscapers for the house that is there now have changed the soil and what was in it.
Dowsers really? I thought this was supposed to be scientific
As I recall, they didn't find anything but dirt on this Welsh hill.
one thing is for sure, their laundry bill must have been fantastic.
wonder what the local dry cleaners were thinking when they all brought their wet, muddy, loam and clay covered clothing to be laundered…
Oh dear, they dug that woman's lawn up, only to find vintage bottles. She was nice about it though, you could tell by the tone in her voice she would rather have not had that done.
Love these old episodes… all the excitement and the "ugly" sweaters are just incredible archeology in itself… a time capsule and cultural immersion from my youth, lol
What's with the three days?! I've never heard an explanation for the rational!!
Someone enlighten me, please?
Something got lost in translation- at 28:54 Tony narrates that the Iron Age stone grinder was grinding corn, but corn came from the new world after 1494. Dr. Pryor correctly noted previously that it was for grinding grain.
Whomever added the music over the old episodes added something super distracting… I love old time team episodes for what they say and do, which is hard to hear over all the added ovatures
I think the Fogou was probably a hiding space for the women & children if the settlement was attacked by bandits.
It makes perfect sense that Phil likes the traditional style of Opinel knives. Very on brand 👍😆
Odyssey best show ever
After watching Time team for years, I take umbrage to the portrayal of Archaeologists in Graham Hancocks Netflix fanfic.
He paints a picture of bureaucratic conspiritorial academics, but I see Mick Aston, Carenza Lewis, Francis Pryor, Raksha Dave, Phil Harding et al.
The idea that archeologists refuse to dig the holes he wants probably has more to do the lack of funding than a refusal to confirm his opinions.
If he really wanted to 'find the truth' he could fund a dig rather than just critique other peoples work, and make conclusions from their toil.
Here's to the trowels of the soil scrapers, who make possible the little evidence of our past that we have.
We could advance society from studying the lessons of history. its a shame we don't.
Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 15days.
Wonderful news, work. Thank you.
They never mentioned about the St Mary’s ruin church and the old Roman round fort, just off to the side.
I think the Cardiff council had time team in, just to show the public. There really isn’t anything under the ground, other than a few post holes. So they can develop the land
Great video, you've reminded me of what someone once said ❤️ Making money is an Action, keeping money is behaviour, Growing money is Knowledge. I once attended a seminar and ever since then I have been waxing strong financially, and I must tell you the truth.
I wonder if TimeTeam will ever do a return to series to show the follow up archeology for their work.
Here in the US, we are taught that corn is a native plant of Mexico, how can pre-Columbian people in Europe have corn
I'm quite sure I can drink 4 pints of beer without being Ill! I've a Viking type drinking horn that holds 3 pints that I usually fill at least twice per "session"….
Dowsing works, I'm not sure how it works, but some people can do it, others (regardless of experience) can't! Doing seismographic surveys I've met some folks who indeed can use it to find (for example) drainage tile in fields, & underground pipelines, & the like. It was necessary that these areas were found so we wouldn't blow them up!!🧨 There was a designated person whose job it was too find these type of features…..Mick should definitely "have a go" and try it for himself! It's very odd to feel the pins twist in your hands – if you're one of those people!
Englishmen…..they think everything is: "positively brilliant!" Ha! Ha! Ha!
Boiled mutton no doubt
The whole 3day thing is driving me mad! Why 3days?
For such unquestionably significant opportunities to peer into our past, WHY 3 DAYS????
Please do not misunderstand…. I absolutely LOVE these shows, the topics, the sites, the THEORIES…. and MOST especially, Tony Robinson, as host… but REALLY …. can anyone say "CONFIRMATION BIAS"????
My gosh, all these "experts" running around, and with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY, conjecturing about not an event, isolated in history, but an ENTIRE CIVILIZATION, their BELIEFS, RITUALS, CULTURE and MOTIVATION…. all of which they then SURROUND (CONFIRM) with yet OTHER PEOPLES, TIMES, CULTURES.
Fascinating, really! And there is a LOT to learn and wonder about, in complete and utter AWE… but REALLY???!!!
Why not start from the absolute TRUTH, which is… "Hmmmm, this is an interesting plot of land…. I WONDER what might be under all this dirt, IF ANYTHING AT ALL?"
The arrogance and certainty displayed by some of these folks is absolutely INCREDIBLE!
And what with all of the PUBLIC ASSERTATIONS (and YES, they are actually ASSERTING their CONCLUSIONS PUBLICLY, semi-disguised as lighthearted conjecture, yet clearly NOT) and with people's CAREERS and REPUTATIONS on the line, one need not wonder then about the HOW's and the WHY's regarding the larger questions that refuse to go away…. those questions regarding our COLLECTIVE HISTORY…. especially in light of the glut of counterfeiting, falsification, and fraud that went on, and continues to this day, in "sciences" such as archeology, geology, ethnography, etc.
Still, so long as people keep a rational mind about them, along with a bit of cautionary skepticism, these types of shows are an opportunity for some great learning and entertainment!
IMHO:)
Geophysical Tony – it's not that hard to say!
'Just about as much fun an archaeologist can have with their clothes on!' Yep…level of excitwment on par!
When they say "grinding corn" they mean grinding other grains…not 🌽Maize…………Certainly.
Dowsing Is Real Science. It uses the Earth's magnetic field and the magnetic field of the dowser and the rods. It has Nothing to do with thinking or mind concentration. Do you Believe in needle Compass Use? 😂 Oh man! The best rods… that Cannot be Manipulated, have the small narrow metal tubes that you hold, and the rods fit into. The tubes stay stationary while the rods move freely whenever passing over ANY underground disruptions (large rocks, pipes, tree roots, foundations, Ancient Structures) etc.. Although, the Depths of any underground objects or utility lines Cannot Be gauged with dowsing. It's not witchcraft or mind energy! It's Scientific FACT! Some people cannot use (or prove) dowsing, because they may have a low magnetic body field, for different physical reasons.#Dowsing#HumanMagneticField#EarthMagneticField I can't believe the dowser in this show discredits the Science of it, BY NOT KNOWING THE SCIENCE OF IT!#Damn🤣😂
Well done. Love it.
if the pot broke and they threw it away .where is the rest of it?
It is so weird seeing everyone so young. It's great
I was just rereading a Louis Lamour novel about a family whose father and son were tin miners in England. The father decides they are going to move to America and the California gold fields. The son ends up involved in the Comstock Load in Nevada.
They are saying that this grinding stone was being used to grind corn but corn was not in Europe at that time in history . It didn't show up till after the vikings at most if not the templers or Columbus.
Wouldnt there need to be a well in the hill fort?
Professor Hippie is great.
7:30 I think he is really on to something. Certainly as tribal groups began to bump up against each other they would start to "compete" … and that might occasionally lead to violence. Im sure the defensive military value of hillforts was one reason why they started to develop. But I think they also took on a quality similar to cathedrals in medieval France. Each local group felt that they had to demonstrate the importance of their own "tribe" by building one. You probably didnt expect your neighbours to try to attack you if you DIDNT have one (after all, while pre-Roman Celtic society did have some intertribal war, it was pretty small-scale and rarely involved more than one or two raids/counterraids). But at the same time, having a hillfort was an essential way to make sure your neighbors respected you. The bigger it was, the more respect you could command. Defense in times of war was only a secondary (albeit important) function. The main function was simply to advertise your local pride.
I love this show
