I don't know how much longer this project will take. I have to be honest. I hope not that long. I'm now in my golden years. Which means I might not live to see the sun come up tomorrow.Or I might live another 50 years. Okay 50 years might be stretching it a bit. Lol.But I think I've made my point.
I'm so happy these are on RU-vid. I started with Ruth, Tom, and Peter on the Tudor Farm series, and have become legitimately very fond of Tom and Peter's humor and Ruth's merry spirit. So lovely to see them again - like reuniting with friends.
The reason people today don't understand how ancient people's constructed monumental projects is not magic, anti-gravity or extraterrestrials helping man. These ancient people's were simply motivated in ways we today cannot understand. In modern times being payed in money are our motivation. The motivation back then was passion for arts sake and that brought out the hidden abilities in humans that we have lost.
It's called hard work and working as one. Not doing the least you can do for the most profit you can get, all the while, stepping on your coworkers. We have technology they couldn't even have dreamed of, but they had the work ethic and pride in their work.
I wish more history documentaries were like this. Getting to really see how our ancestors lived. How they build these marvels of human ingenuity and shear will.
First I’ve seen of this fascinating project and wow, what a well made series! I feel like a 13th century fly on the castle wall. Almost criminal this has so few views on here - British history/science docu series always have such a recognizable presentation and pace and are so good at introducing new subjects in a concise and entertaining way. I’m just wholly impressed with the overall quality of this series and the value it presents to people like me with no formal education or knowledge of the subject. This is truly a remarkable work, thank you for uploading this.
Well hanging the food off the floor wasn’t so much as to stop the mice & rats getting to it, but to keep out of the way to make space. Hanging the food will not stop the rodents from getting to it, as she obviously hasn’t seen their climbing abilities in action. I worked on building sites in my younger years and watching this it’s amazing how despite the advances in technology, there are a lot it that is timeless. Another thing is the fact that many medieval buildings are still standing today is testament to to the care and craftsmanship of the builders , as opposed to today’s developments. Here in Sydney there are multi story apartment towers that have been condemned or have serious structural defects that need to be rectified in order to make them liveable and that is in many cases happening after completion.
Funny how in the modern era, our people still use rounded clay pots for cooking and serving food in the traditional style, while most houses have a plastic rice box or dispenser much like the grain ark. Common or less fortunate folk who live off the grid still use firewood and clay pots, and even the grandest of houses may have a pantry where garlic and other produce is hung. In the humblest of homes, people still sleep on the floor.
Yes but the USA doesn't have a castle building history so I don't it will happen soon. The USA is the greatest except for the history the infrastructure like roads and bridges the taxes the health care the racism the school shooters the denied rights of indigenous people the not safe drinking water their aggression against other countries exc exc
@@bloodyfluffybunny7411 As if the US has a monopoly on racism & violence. European wealth was literally built off racism, colonialism, theft of resources, unjust taxation, & violence against indigenous peoples throughout the world. The US is only a few hundred years old. Europe developed the blueprint for systematic aggression, so save that bullshit for another video. This is about motherfucking castles.
As long as it’s on Timeline or BBC I don’t mind, since Timeline and their affiliates are part of the British Broadcasting group and it was originally aired on BBC Two anyways.
Ikr! Its quite exciting to see how it turned out after visiting the site before the series were filmed and I really wish I could visit it again after the pandemic is over. There are some interesting DIY channels that used tech similar to it (except maybe for the pacer) to make ropes with some interesting and surprising materials. TKOR (the king of random) did it with seram wrap, toilet paper I think and those green firework fuses quite a while back.
