The Ancient Sacred Site That's Only Accessible By Zip Line | Time Team | Odyssey 

they've released two so far. It's nice to see Helen, Bridget, Carenza!, Matt, Henry, John, Stewart and Francis. so far missing Racsha, Phil, Baldrick, Guy . . .

@@TheShootist i was blown away by the tech. geophys takes no time at all and the detail is nuts! miss the older folk but they arent getting any younger

For sure, the entire island has lost a lot of land in the past few thousand years. Those sheer vertical cliffs have very little to no talus, meaning they're actively being worn down even today, and the site on the mainland is the same way. One can only imagine what it used to look like or how much more land there was back in the bronze or iron age, perhaps they made stairs going down to the ocean or into a bay where they moored their little fleet. Also, what sort of disasters and hardships did the inhabitants repeatedly endure over the years when part of their peninsula sheared off and took entire buildings with it, or cut them off from the mainland? When the land bridge collapsed is likely to also be when this island was abandoned, which would've been somewhere between the Roman era and the 19th century. Either way, I bet it wouldn't be all that difficult to gather finds from the talus of the island where entire sections of earth fell to the water, though they'd probably be battered up pretty good.

the only downside I've found with the new Time Team is the presenter, whom I find to be both too breathy in speech and very low energy compared to Baldrick.

Come to think of it, you're right. The interaction between team members seems missing in the new ones too. They don't have any speculation, side bets or predictions about what will be there. That kept me in wonderful suspense.

Give them a chance. They’re barely getting started.

The new time team have only done two digs so far, and the second one was significantly more entertaining to watch than the first one. If they keep up the trajectory, the third one will be almost as good as the old time team. 😉

I dont get it. :(

All I heard is that she found a really old stone dildo..it was sticking out of the ground for obvious reasons..🤣

Dildos had to come from somewhere

welcome to the phallus island.

Water is wet

I think between the winds, landing area problems, possibly disturbing open archeological trenches, and the daily cost of a qualified pilot with gas probably not as good an option as it might seem. If you mean to shuttle back and forth to the sight. I love watching the American Coast Gaurd helicopter rescue too and you learn quickly that even there amazing pilots don't like getting near sea cliffs at all for many reasons, not that they never have to save people off such cliff sides.

lol I did!!!

@@riverlady982 Landing a heli with the kind of mechanical turbulence an area like that produces would make that zipline feel like a great option. I suppose it would be possible to designate a good landing site away from active digs, it's not a terribly bad surface to land on, but safety considerations and cost were likely the biggest factors. Big enough factors that just one of them would probably shut down that idea. They had the budget to hire a heli on several occasions, but that's all part of making it a good show and providing perspective to the viewers. One hour of flight time is relatively cheap at $1-2K depending on the heli, but constantly ferrying back and forth for three days would be quite costly, not to mention the crew being stuck out there if the heli couldn't fly due to weather.

No room to land it. What's wrong with a zip line?!

Choppers are expensive. In other shows they have said they could only get them for a small part of one day. A zipline would be much cheaper than having a chopper on call to carry people across at random times all day long.

i was waiting for Marianne to demo it !!

its clearly impossible that there was a land bridge or they used boat access, so since im clearly an idiot, it must be aliens! you agree right?

At 15:00 in they say there would have been a land bridge back in the day.

@@jackswift83 🤔 so the secret all along was to watch the video before commenting?

@@beepboop204 or guessing from the landscape like I did. But in my heart I'd like to think that ancient aliens ran a UFO delivery and taxi service

Transporter...

Could be to hard to land there / no place to start the flight close enough. There were other episodes when they used helicopters, so I don't think it was too expensive.

I think that they were planning to dig in the place that would have been the best helicopter landing spot.

One hour of filming an active dig and the surrounding area at $1-2K/hr isn't that much to cover, three days of constantly ferrying people back and forth to the island would take a big chunk out of their budget though. Plus, that's a terrible place to fly a heli, the constant wind coming in from the ocean hits those cliffs and you get what's called mechanical turbulence, which can be a serious flight risk. Adding to that, the crew would be stuck out there on the island if the heli was grounded for whatever reason. Between the wild ride you'd get from the heli and the amount of money you'd pay, that zipline looks a lot more feasible.

shes not even an archaeologist !

@@deethebee80 who cares if she an archaeologist. It’s all about the view

Careful advertising that, the US might invade the island with ketchup and ranch dressing in side holsters after sending in cruise missiles filled with salt.

She wasn't eating green grass. The underground part of the plant was white and swollen - that's where the carbohydrates were supposed to be. Or were you not paying attention?
