The Hunt For The Lost Irish Palace | Time Team | Absolute History 

Wonder what they would do if you showed them a bottle of HP sause

Or ITV?

They did exactly that in a number of episodes! Time Team was always produced independently, though, so whomever asked for permission (usually Mick, Carenza or Tony) would have identified themselves by the show rather than its network.

Ya because modern property rights should trump the preservation of thousands of years of history...

I read this to the tune of the kinky boots line "we are the British army and we've come to take your land"

@@thomasmills3934 Technically ... yes. Depending a bit on where that history is buried, but digging a field that has been harvested a week before will cause less financial loss than digging a field that has just been sown. Digging a plot that is being excavated for construction anyways is cheaper for the owner than tearing open a terrace in the back yard.

@Patrick Glaser lol just made it to the 5:25 mark and I see the nice box computer

It actually looks like the 80''s but it was the 90's.

Recorded in early April of 1995, then first aired on BBC Channel 4 in February of 1996. There was still another 15 years of Time Team after this... & the show may even be coming back through crowdfunding on Patreon!

@80sBaby90sKid • Ikr.... It's weird to think THAT was the simpler time.... What will the future be, making this the simpler time?

🎯

This put a wee twinkle in me eye

😉😁

@Richard King you and every fucking one else! It's called a sympathy fuck. Ya my grandma felt bad for an Irishman too "I'm so hungry! Potato famine this, raining that..." 😆 I feel better now thanks

California!

Well, it is an old documentary.

@BabyChainGang I know there is so much missing from Irish history but at least with advances in technology we find more every year

@BabyChainGang haha thanks

@EvilAlien, I'm not Irish but I love learning about Irish history too, other histories as well but I'm particularly fond of the Irish. @BabyChainGang. I, too, agree that it is so much more important than people think. Not just the archeological side, but culturally as well. I dont know how many people know that a lot of, so called, modern traditions come from historical traditions that originated in ancient Ireland. It's truly fascinating!!

@Black Illuminati That would make sense since Irish are Celts,and Celts are of Indo European ancestry,just like most Europeans,but Celts were not Germanic like the other Indo European descendents that came later,like the Saxons.

Ty for the idea

Baldrick has a cunning plan

to be fair he is kind of filthy

Bet he has some beans!😂

This is old I used to watch it on TV! Blackadder! Rules! Tony Robinson is his name!

Sir Tony, nowadays.

Well if you pay attention to the environmental damage done by the Roman city of Leptis Magna,possibly our hunter-gatherer ancestors were environmentally neutral,but just about every human activity since then has a cost or a price. I mention that city as it was geographically isolated,and the records of what happened to forestation,soil quality and water table are there for those who wish to study the silts and soils,etc.

Seriously? Ugh.

Ya but we were more destructive to each other lol

Or plumbing!

Yeah, if you were a king or lord, you lived "luxuriously" in comparison to your peasants that lived in literal shit huts with their livestock. So luxurious. God, I hate that we can cut planks easily and have a/c now. Really feel like I missed out now that I dont have to work from daylight to dark until I die.

That's the first thing I noticed! Lol!

That’s Mick Aston~ Rip~ a wonderfully wise and spirited archaeologist. I’ll go back to listen, they do get away with some language. Love Time Team!!

Quarter of a century ago.

@@ReasonAboveEverything explain please?

When History Channel had real history!

In the US,NYS in the Hudson River,in front of Storm King mountain there are said to be 900 foot long stone walls at the bottom of the river.The DEC won't let anyone poke around down there because it's supposedly next to a ship wreck,and they don't want anyone disturbing the ship wreck.

You must be new here :)

most of the people were active professors, and most of this was shot during the school year.

Every member of the team had regular jobs at colleges and archaeological societies, except for Tony who had acting gigs, so they could only get a few days off their regular jobs to film the episodes. Also, it was only ever supposed to be them going in and doing an evaluation to determine if there is something there and if so then does it need further study? Protected? Or is it just so far gone or so little info can be gleaned from it that there is no point in protecting or studying it? The experts involved simply couldn't take the time from their regular jobs to do full time digs for a T.V. show. It isn't artificial tension, they really only had three days to do their evaluations and get back to their regular jobs, very rarely did they stay more than three days, and even then it had to be for something very spectacular to get the time extension from their employers. Don't worry though, several of the sites time team visited were studied by full teams of archaeologists and/or listed as protected later, but they wouldn't have been if it wasn't for the evaluations done by the time team.

This is repackaged "Time Team." "Time Team" was an archeology show that ran for ~20 years in Great Britain. Part of the show was that they'd only spend 3 days per dig and try to discover what they could in that time so that they could move onto another site in the next episode. The tension wasn't artificial. They really only had 3 days.

@@robertterhune4965 It isn't re-packaged, its one of the earlier Time Team shows.

Currently doing the same!

@BabyChainGang I got a French fry-

@@ambermabe3740 noice

@@lexilies1229 U 'AVIN A FRENCH FRY?! I just had some burgers for breakfast lol

@@xXCREEKSTARXx WoW- We are very healthy beings I was eating chicken nuggets and French fries for breakfast that day-

Pre historic yes. But not too far for a lot of the area. At least not much past say 12,000 YA. There was a fair amount of ice around. But yes there is a lot of history prior to New Grange even we will never know about.

It's a prehistoric book. We found it as vellum. There really isn’t an original except the leather volume. Look for a copy of 'An Táin'

@@riohenry6382 ya im familiar with the history of it .. I just wanted to try to find that Exact book thats in this episode is all . All i find are newer copies with different covers unfortunately . Cheers

Alas it did. I always found that 3 day limitation a down side of the show

Yep, three days, only a few times did they break that limit, but it had to be for something really spectacular. Every member of the team had regular jobs at colleges and archaeological societies, except for Tony who had acting gigs, so they could only get a few days off their regular jobs to film the episodes. Also, it was only ever supposed to be them going in and doing an evaluation to determine if there is something there and if so then does it need further study? Protected? Or is it just so far gone or so little info can be gleaned from it that there is no point in protecting or studying it? Several of the places time team visited warranted further studies and protection, some of them have been dug and studied by teams of archaeologists after they were found on time team.

I suppose a tv show had to have some structure and something driving the tension on!

Maybe to be seen better

Sad but true

Why do people insist on keeping their god-given hair short?

The documents in the beginning (7 - 9 min) she is marking look to be produced for working papers just for this project. Not historic.

Imagine calling a woman a "feeeemale" and expecting to be taken seriously. Its obviously a copy to mark on.

@@kibouguthier42 … pretty sure woman and female are interchangeable. I’m guessing you are a feeeeeeeeeeminist 🙄

@@adacox I'm guessing you go for feeeeeeeeeeeminine!
