Wow, what a great story! I especially enjoyed the way the community was involved in the recreation of one of the original designs. History coming alive for the participants, some of whom could conceivable be related to the inhabitants of the area back in the 4th century.
Thank you for such a wonderful film about roman mosaic discovery. There are lots of thing to learn from this video. Love to see the enthusiasm of the site communities, the deeply knowledged researchers, the humble & expert photographer lady, the expert of stones the direction of the movie and more. Absolutely marvelous
Thank you for sharing this wonderful film. You really coaxed out the personalities involved; not just the experts, but also characters such as the two local men of Lopen chatting away together. Best wishes from Aotearoa New Zealand!
A "hierarchy" of skills! These people love their hierarchies. People learning skills is NOT the same as an inherited artificial ladder of how VALUABLE people are.
Oh, lighten up. You went all the way around the block in search of a social grievance in this wonderful little doc. Not finding said grievance, you invented one.
great video.history of Britain is very much like that of its geology..sedimentary layers..metamorphic outcroppings..and igneous intrusions...very much like that of Italy...including that of Rome...this video makes me ask what the ancient Romans would have done if "they" found remnants of a previous civilization in their backyard?From what i've read the Romans erased all they found of Etruscan Civilization...even though they absorbed so much of that cultures zeitgeist.Basically... Roman Hellenistic civilization wanted in no way to be associated with anything that was 'in fact a 'true' part of their past'...Great Britain ? Gotta love that country..and those people..get down on their hands and knees and embrace their past. An inspiration.Thank you for this film
I wonder when idolatry of the roman empire will end. The mosaic is beautiful. I take exception to the archeologists statement that local people post-roman "robbed" the site. Poetic justice since the romans had robbed their ancestors of their land.
The romans in Britain were mostly a change in government. The forts were manned by people from outside Britain, but otherwise the romans preferred to work with local people. Chances are a roman villa in Britain was owned by romanized britains.
16:25 LOL, how old is this statement? It has been recently proven by archeology that nothing went dead after Rome withdrew from Britain. 😢 There was no such thing as "dark" ages in Britain after Romans left the governing to the locals
