I love this type of Stone Masons' architecture. The male/female towers of the Sun and the Moon, the triangular entranceway with the spirit/soul maintaining balance because of the very presence of the two towers, and the two smaller apertures either side of the main entrance door. A detailed rosette, carved from many pieces of sandstone, all inter-locking perfectly to create the final stunning flower head. Then as with a Cathedral or Abbey of this size- you will have flying buttresses; ADditional vertical structure, supporting the walls with arches incorporated into the integral connection from wall to buttress and this itself makes for a beautiful architectural feature. You can see them all stood in a row and it just amplifies the grandeur of the structure even more! I love it all!!!🥰 Then inside, too, you see vaulted arches, round circles within the arches - on doorways, ceilings, windows and corridors.. Curved, truncated columns blossoming at the top- even just on a doorway.. Oh, Such beautiful carvings in the stone. I love towers and round turrets, spiral staircases and my favourite feature of all... The stained glass windows! I love how the colourful light streaks through the window across a room, corridor or balcony. Beautiful craftsmanship, never ceases to bring a tear to my eye, seriously it moves you, with it's immensity. People poured their love and heart into this work and it is passed onto you when you lay your eyes upon it, especially for the first time.🥲

@katerinakemp5701 2 года назад

No they have a team led by Kerry after the site has been recorded, then all the dig sites are set to rights all is backfilled grass is put back you wouldn't even know that a team of archeologists had been there.

@garymitchell5899 Год назад

Yeah so they left the hole etc and visiting Americans then have a place to stay. I often see them even now.

@dotcassilles1488 Год назад

Lol. Once all the recording of archaeological evidence is done the fill is usually placed back into the holes to protect and preserve the larger stones/walls etc. Information on the environment location will be drawn in a grid pattern on a map so later digs can happen if they let the local archaeology society or others dig. The fill is usually alot easier to remove than if an area has never been dug apart from when the site was occupied. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot

It's all to do with production costs. Anything longer than 3 days wouldn't be economical. It has nothing to do with the fact the archaeologists work at Universities because time team is filmed during the summer when students are on holiday.

@dotcassilles1488 Год назад

I believe that most of the digs were actually paid for by an early type of crowd funding and donations from interested people/businesses (donations). Most of the crew were volunteers or archaeology students who were completing required field studies for their degrees by volunteering.

@k.jespersen6145 2 года назад

There are self-guided audio tours for the Abbey. They used to be on rented equipment. However, many historical sites have shifted to making applications with the recordings available through webshops so that people use their own phones and the costs of maintaining and sanitizing equipment vanish. The Abbey may have switched to that scheme.
