This is my first post on U Tube. I have overcome my fear of posting , to say a BIG THANK YOU to you for posting these programs. I enjoy them immensely. I am from Canada ,I believe that in order to understand my country, you need to understand the two european empires that created it... the 🇬🇧 and 🇫🇷. Our local provincial public tv station aired only 3 or 4 seasons of TT, now I can watch them all!!!! THANK YOU for taking the time to do this. I will have this enjoyment for a long while.
@@TheNewPrometheus : I fear doing new things, due to my challenge of PTSD. For 7 years of my childhood I was abused ( all ways) by neighbours and parents . You just don’t “ grow “ out of it. Stay safe, stay sane, be well
@@TheNewPrometheus : apology is accepted. Your comment though harsh, did help. It made me realize how far I have come in one year. Thank you for posting. Stay safe, stay sane, be well
When I first saw these burials, I was thinking, maybe this is like some similar things around the world, where, when a man died, his wife, whether she died, naturally, or not, was buried with him, and even some of his servants. But then the two men in the baby made me think maybe they died at the same time or close together of an illness, and that could’ve happened to everyone in that area. I don’t know what a mystery but a great video
@@RandomPlaceHolderName : some of us don't have the newer equipment and still burn tv programs on DVD and VHS tapes. They still work so I still use my old equipment. I am 69 years old... lol.
i have no idea if Time Team is even available on DVD or not, but back probably in the early 2000s i bought a fairly cheap all region DVD player specifically so i could buy a couple of my favorite English films and tv shows that were only very limitedly available and in PAL format.
I keep watching these shows and I'm beginning to think you can't double-dig your garden plot in Britain with-out archaeologists swarming in the background.
@@josephwolfe1833 Depending on the items and value, they have a Crown Law of sorts, and they get treasure items, the finder gets a % fee. Other items, of Archaeology value, routinely go to a Museum and the finder gets a fee. ...and if the finder circumvents the system, and are caught, they go to jail.
A typical Tony... lol. "A woman could be a warrior?". Why are you so surprised? Women can fight and defend the same as a man. I was a police officer and have worked with many female officers who are every bit as capable as their male counterparts.
I guess they don't teach "questions intended to reflect the era's known patriarchical culture" at the police academy. Are you saying the Saxons were not a patriarchical culture?
You are out of your mind if you think women are just as capable as men. Not even close. There is a clear inferiority . I mean just look at sports. They have their own category because they are so bad. To you have own category is the definition of inferiority. For some people to say anything different is just ridiculous. And dont say i know one woman who can squat more or whatever. That means nothing. It doesnt change my statement
It is just a weird feeling watching these since this was filmed about 18 years ago and in that time 2 members of the time team have passed away. One could say that these programs are now themselves part of the past.
Why do historians assume that the Anglo-Saxons had to be converted to Christianity by missionaries sent out by the Pope? The current DNA of the British Isles, even in the most Saxon part of England, is mostly Celtic. The Saxons migrated more than they invaded. They did not fully displace the native Celts. The Celts of Roman Britain were Christian before the Romans left. So the Saxons' first exposure to Christianity came from the British Celts.
Exposure to something, and being forced to convert to it, are two drastically different things. No one suddenly changes their entire spiritual belief system just because they see someone else who has a different one, that's just silly, lols.
Very good show, has helped me understand so much about UK history and archeological work! Thank you so much for posting these, has helped me through the pandemic for those last 7 months Hello from USA
*granskare* You were born in _two_ towns! I've never been to *Malmesbury* but I spent a little time in *Devizes.* It's quite a pretty town but I didn't see the staircase - indeed it was still mostly moribund at the time. The videos I've seen of it since are rather spectacular!
lol...when they said the buckets could nestle together I immediately had a thought of nestling camping gear. Do you think those were their home buckets or their "camping" buckets? lol
my gosh.. mary alexander looks exactly like the girl who attacked the team when they were trying to extract the tree stump .. that the modern day so called druids were trying to save.. she really does,,, ha.
They have to do the 'warrior woman' foolishness. In hand to hand combat, a woman would be on the ground before she could blink. And they know it, but they have to say it. It's no different than the flat earth crowd, but no one will come out and say it. The 'queens' of the time were leaders who inherited from men so as to keep leadership in the family, nothing more. They certainly didn't fight against men - that's madness. There's a reason why there are no domestic violence shelters for men.
The viking leader died and they buried her husband with her. 😂 Those viking women... Plutarch wrote about them. The would pull the carts behind the men cutting off the men's retreat...go kill and plunder and win because there will be no retreat. Push come to shove they would fight too. Earned the respect of the Romans.
I enjoy history and have been shown much through TIME TEAM, even as an American. I just don't understand one thing: the host, Tony Robinson, is now Sir Tony. Yet those who were on their hands and knees digging for the finds, as well as many being professors, weren't likewise recognized. Seems rather backwards and shortsighted for folks like Dr. Harding and those who have passed on.
Sir Tony is also active in politics, children's books and TV, and raising awareness of the historical legacy Britain possesses. He is actively involved in various charities, particularly Alzheimers and dementia. Time Team was just one part of his contribution to TV education and entertainment. And he did a lot more work on TT behind the scenes that the viewers never saw. He may annoy some of you, but Her Majesty and I think he's terrific.
@@matthewgauthier7251 , I started living your way, when my dearly beloved husband and I moved to our small retirement cottage in a tiny seaside village on our retirement. Then, in 2000 he died (leukemia). By end 2012 I could no longer maintain our house, so moved closer to the children. So, at 78, I'm living quietly by myself, but close to children and, as you say, cherishing every moment. It is very rewarding. God bless you.
Notice how many times Tony asks, "but how do you know?" I realize his role was to question and get the archaeologists to explain things to the audience, but his skepticism sometimes really wears on me. It got worse as the seasons went on... borderline antagonistic. Then he'd put words in their mouths too.
How do you make a show with a bunch of people digging.......interesting? Lol. Mix Personalities and antagonist and history, sounds like a hit tv show! Loved to hate Mr. Robinson, heart of gold, heavy to carry.
The short answer may be the matters of written records, and archeology that manages to survive in the ground... Both of those are stronger during the (temporary) Roman occupation, and once again when the Normans arrive. So we are more in the dark about the years 400 to 1000 CE, but they don't often say 'Dark Ages' on the show. Anglo-Saxon period: If you pull up a map of where the Angles, and Saxons (and Jutes) lived (Denmark-ish), you can better imagine them noticing the vacuum created as the Romans retreated. And turning from raiders to settlers. The Angles and Saxons both established significant kingdoms along the East coast of Britannia. The Britons remained, but it seems it is the Arrival of new outsiders that generates the names of periods in history. Optional bits: 'England' is Land of the Angles (Angleterre, in French!); Essex, Wessex, Sussex and Middlesex... the sex is 'Saxons,' lands east, west, south and middle. And the Normans were actually Norsemen/Vikings recently arrived in 'France.' See "The siege of Paris of 885-886."
As a citizen of the US I truly envey the richness of history you brits have. We have stone age native Americans living here until the 15th century. Big deal.
I used to like the viking`s, but they are way more trouble than they ever contributed. Starting with Lindennspharm the famous center of theological learning and writing. The Viking`s contributed their art work, jewelry. O YA, boat design. Robbery and pillage is not our fault it is the climates fault.
they shouldn't degrade the druids and pagans since their roots came from there to begin with. Christianity was a bastardized religion to their true religion.
***** Well I could talk to you about evidence of God based on changed lives and miracles that I've seen, but I'm thinking that won't work for you, correct? And just like one can't prove love, I can not prove faith, I simply believe.
***** Meaningless to you, friend. Very real to me. As far as faith is concerned maybe I should start gathering testimonies from doctors who can't explain why patients have been cured of ailments as a source of proof (this happened to me also). Maybe I should have written down all the times my mother had things revealed to her that no one else except the other person knew. And again, faith really can't be proven, it's faith. So should I give up on science then? Because I won't be giving up on my faith.
MegaDoug4 Humans tend to see patterns and cause and effect when there is none. That's why science works with repeatable and measurable experiments, preferably double-blind, to separate facts from imagination. There is a lot of evidence that our minds are very good at fooling us. A lot of things will feel real, but it's just your mind playing tricks on you.
ABOUT PHIL Two reasons why a person cuts all there finger nails except there Pinky nail ether does cocaine lot #2 uses it as a tool to dig boogers out of their nose
