Time Team S03-E05 Palace of the Irish Kings (Navan, Co Armagh)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- In the ancient literature of Ireland, the fort of Emain Macha was the home of the princes and kings of Ulster. According to the Celtic legends, it was built by King Conchobar who also built two other palaces - one for his treasure and the other for the spoils of war.
Tony Robinson and the Time Team go to Navan, the modern day site of Emain Macha. Can they find any evidence of the other palaces in just three days? And will they be able to find a connection between what may have been a sacrificial pool and an ancient hill called Haughey's Fort?
You can archeologically date these episodes by Tony’s hair 🤣
And the longer haired guy. (The dude whose hair stays long but also turns white.)
Queen Cersei ...Mick? The guy with Einstein style hair? Phil’s hair eventually went grey (from reddish brown to grey, as it is today) but never really white. Mick was really an old hippy and he and Phil just seem like old hippies digging in the ground. It’s quite lovely. Robin was so dignified, he made such a contrast but all are fascinating people. I love these shows even though many I’m watching were made before I was born.
Mick is hard mode, not a lot changes at all.
And to be even crueller his waistline
Or lack there of
Stewart is a genious, really. A Sherlock Holmes of landscapes. How does he see all those things on maps, pictures, fields? They've made so many discoveries just because of him noticing something, amazing.
He really is amazing.
I always imagine Stewart to be the little kid who spent hours laying on the ground just looking at stuff.
Such a nice guy too, soft spoken and always polite. The more you see and read of him the more you like the guy.
Stuart always amazes me with his ability to field walk and pick up on what I can never see. I could always imagine him to be a really nice guy.
I am sure that he is a nice person.
did you notice in an earlier episode the lady restoring one of the stone statues up on some scaffolding was also an Ainsworth .. I suspect his wife or a sister perhaps
@@0623kaboom I remember the episode, but I didn't catch that about her last name. I'll have to go back and check it out. Thanks!
Stewart strikes me as a man it would be fantastic to share a bottle or two of wine with.
@@0623kaboom I noticed it also. I tried to figure it out but I couldn't find strong evidence about her relationship with Stewart. But I think she is his wife. She is listed on the web as a restoration type person and the information about her I found said she has two children. Stewart has two children. That's my evidence.
This playlist helped many through COVID quarantine. Now this is helping me through hard times in 2023, with insanity seemingly everywhere. Just a fantastic mix of archaeology, entertainment, professionalism, integrity and "humanity"(the pint at the end of the day to unwind).
got your booster?
Tony Robinson WITH GLORIOUS FLOWING HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Better to have had and lost than never had at all
And a thin Phil! 😃
Giggling
Lol...I doubt if most men feel that way but loved the quote.
Have you ever seen the old documentary of very young Phil demonstrating a stone axe?
Good laughs. Thanks, fellow TT addicts.
Robin Bush was having a hecuva good time @31:00 RIP old friend!♥️
Phil be like "dirt be thee best bandage fer a blister" Love that guy he is so freakin focused on his passion
His sentence makes sense and you can see 'ye olde dude' in the past giving such advice. Especially up in Yorkshire.
Only I doubt Phil "be" like anything.
It always amazes me at how Stewart looks at things, on maps and then the bump or a hill on the landscape and piece it all together. Awesome! Tony, when his hair was still semi thick and flowing all over, and at a time when even Phil had more hair. I have been watching Time Team on youtube now for a few months and I am not only hooked on the show but Proud to say that I now am a digger supporter as well:-) Plus am looking at getting books form them as well..Wondering, with this site, and all that they can find in all this, and none of which has been dug before, if there is a way to go back for another 3 day dig???
Stumbled on this by accident and i am hooked :-)Cheers from Iceland
Hi! From Peter and Sally from Yorkshire UK.
Cheers from Canada!!
USA here. Love the shows. I've been been watching them for months
Same here... USA
I'm from North Carolina, USA. HI. I've been binge watching it for weeks too. Got to have something good out of the Covid 19.
It's amazing to watch these old episodes and see Tony with full Baldrick coiffure.
The "rock art" or carved stone looked like directions on a map to me. Sure wish the old time team were still doing this! Really miss all those guys!
this show is so wholesome, it helps to relax me and cheer me up, thanks for uploading!
that's why I watch it most days as well!
The aerial shots from all over the Isles in this series are spectacular. The hedgerows and rolling topography, small holdings along side waterways, and towns nestled here and there all contribute to a beautiful pastoral landscape which begs to be wandered over.
10:30 finding a Barbary Ape skull in an Iron Age site poses a lot of questions.

@Michael Halligan are you stupid or what? Northern Ireland currently belongs to the UK and is part of the UK, hence why Brexit is causing such a kerfuffle in the 6 counties that make up Northern Ireland.
@Michael Halligan and Ulster is a unionist term you stupid wannabe plastic paddy fuck. You are trying to act all pro Republican by calling northern Ireland a colony and denying it is part of the UK yet you use Unionist to refer to the place. LIKE A FUCKIN ORANGE ORDER PROTESTANT. Take a hike ya fuck, you know fuck all about Ireland
Binge watching from Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. It’s been a life saver during these surreal times.
Must have been tough to just pack up and take the family to the P.R. House when things got tough in the city. Probably coildnt even bring all the help with you.
Viewers surprised that Phil found a flint axe? Zero.
Phil would find a flint axe in a 1970s garbage dump.
It would be great if the new time team could go back to these early digs with their new technology and see what they could now come up with.
The cows looked on anxiously, is this a barbecue pit?
Having seen later episodes first and now watching the earlier ones, I can understand why Mick starting to not like where Channel 4 took the show before they canned it.
Me too.
@@lmtt123 Cackled when I read that!
By the last season the girl power movement hijacked the show and ran it into the ground. All the guys, except Tony and Phil, quit or got fired and they were replaced by under-educated kids, it was a children's show by the end.
I just love the live(stock) audience . . . !
Angus's Holsteins from Jersey..
Yes, I've heard that the Irish natives are very friendly!
And I thought I was the only one who watched Tony's hairline. 😆
Positive dating evidence 😂
We've obviously been attending very tame ceilighs! Guess this calls for a trip to Ireland.
I swear mick is wearing that sweater in season 19😂
Yes! King John’s lost palace... just watched the episode before this on.
Mick had a closet full of those sweaters. His uniform.
I still have a pair of cowboy boots that I bought in 1976.
What a fun party on the second evening!
10:07 his face looks like a middle schooler who is just as interested in history ZzZzZz 😂.
Love Mick's sweaters and the bovine audience
Best sweaters in all of Europe. RIP...
Ballydoo = Baile Dubh 'black homestead/townland'.
I love the cows sometimes randomly watching the team.
Why do they have to "move in"...why not a simple continuity. There's always the statement of "replacement" that I think is overstated.
Love this episode. Thank you so much for putting Time Team on your tube. I love this show

33:12 - that second geophysics survey pattern looks exactly like the pattern carved into that rock that Stewart found earlier - doesn't it?
I thought exactly the same thing, as soon as I saw it. The rock carving is at 27:39. It's remarkably similar.
If I could time travel, one of the things I would do would be to get a shirt that says “Not a Time Traveler” and just appear at every Time Team dug I could. That would be something wouldn’t it?
You can archaeologically date these episodes by the state of Mick's sweater :P
It is pretty pristine in this one!
Same for Phil's hat
And Tony’s hair. Look how brown and long it is here!
So while these would probably not survived - only on special conditions like if they all ended up in a swamp at this time - we could date them by the type of laptop and computer they use.
I think you'd called it stripeographic dating.
Time team is one of the best shows I have ever enjoyed.. it isn’t related but if you like this check out All Creatures Great and Small!!
I love both
Love the James Harriott books. And time team.
That series was my first introduction to British television! Then, I had to have the books.
So much hair
Lmfao I'm glad someone said it
+Nunatag1
Good one :)))
😂😂😂 brilliant comment 👌
k
I saw Victor dancing at the celildh. Robin is full-on buzzing.
Would’ve loved to have spent time with everyone after a good day of digging having a pint and a song. Looks like a great time. Laughing smiling dancing singing music. Honestly genuinely a grand time with good people. I love the Irish/UK culture.
Really loving this series. Many thanks for uploading!
This may well be the best television ever made.
The gods bless them all for bringing the science, and the fun, of archaeology to the attention of the world.
There may be nothing more important than understanding our ancestors.
2 years ago, I watched this. I guess I've forgotten. It is so much better than watching Season19.
I've been to Navan... 🤗 been there did that! Loved the wonderful museum with the grass roofs 😛🤗🥰🤩.... Baldrick MARRY ME please 😉😍😘😁💙💑🤭💞💜❤💚
I tried to study Gaelic, giggling... that's it... I TRIED 🥴
I twoughted
Twided’
Thanks so much. This series is delightful. It feeds the romantic in me.
Was here in 2019
No ones gonna talk about that awesome party they were at ? Dancing drinking and great music ! Brilliant
Ah that's a ceilidh, they got lots of those xD
Tony’s hair is crazy!!! Dang Mick was young there!!
I love the Irish accent. Actually I love many accents but the Irish sound is so melodious IMO.
I used to take modern dance and tango classes at a disused building in San Francisco that originally been owned by the Sons of the Red Branch. I looked up the name but other than the fact that it was an organization of pro-Republican Irish-Americans the availabl information was pretty lacking.
Now I know.
Why so few in Ireland - and none in Southern Ireland?
My heritage is from County Kerry and Cork - shame they didn't get down in this area.
We aren't Celts - unless the Basque are, as we now know through DNA studies - back in 2017. (Our early human finds indicate that in 3000 BC the genetic DNA indicates - the area of the Levant, and Sardinia.)
🍀🇺🇸🍀
*Bet Bartlett+
I regret that too. I can only assume that the *Southern Ireland* archæological authorities refused *TT* permission.
They are in the UK not the Republic of Ireland. So they would have easy permission to dig on UK soil as a UK show. But for a British / UK show to dig on Irish soil was a bit sensitive - especially back then.
Damn tony is wearing the epitome of dad clothes! And look at the bill on that hat!! It’s like a awning!
🤣🤣
Also I'm Canadian and we still have ceiledhs in Prince Edward Island and in New Found Land and we still speak Gaelic
You left out Cape Breton....
@@OUigot Yes I did! So sorry about that.
Episode 14 (Season 3, Episode 5): Palace of the Irish Kings, Aired: February 4, 1996
(2:42-ish) The cows are so close I thought they were going to walk into the trench! Too funny. Maybe they'd like to help.
Ouch...the cut on Phil's finger makes my finger hurt. Guess you can tell I am not nurse material.☺
That young Irish guy did an amazing work with the metal. Stunning art!
The cows look rather annoyed that their field has been dug up.
Archaeologists agree that traditions set in early times are not invented by later writers from the ground up. so no monk invented Conor's three palaces. Axel Olrik's Oral Narratives Principles show that 3 is a common number in oral traditions. Since the tradition is tied to a place, it's likely that place genuinely has something to do with the tradition. Archaeologists obviously have only limited time and energy and can't dig everywhere as far down as they'd like to go.
nothing as soothing as to watch time team during a pandemic lock down. People of the past had it much worse compared with us in the 21st century with a vaccine on the way. Thanks for uploading!
such a good point. a very good thing to remember after having a bad day!
In Might & Magic VII, there was a area called Castle Navan. I spent many hours in that castle and the surrounding area. Fun times.
This show was so good for so long. I've watched this show before bed every night for 4 years straight now. I get thru it all then start over again at Season 1. I don't think I'd be able to sleep without it. Don't know, never tried. Don't wanna! Although, starting at s11 it started getting kind of bad.
Odd, that Mick is only four years older than Phil, but looks much, much, older.
I just want to be there! :)
Tony sticks out like a sore thumb but Mick didn't change the entire life of the show
Poor Tony at 10.10. He looks bored to death, lol
He looks hung over.
The difference today is scholars try to explain past cultures and structures in the context of reality. Only until recent times did this lack of understanding result in mythologies about fairies and giants that came before us. Ascribing supernatural explanations to our ancestors is actually quite insulting to them and their achievements.
santacruzer Agreed. Sometimes I see places on history or archeology shows and they try to say sacrifice and religion. I'm thinking Fighting arena and just getting drunk or high.
As a trained archeologist it had always annoyed me that most everything found is assumed to be of religious significance.
Although, it is worth keeping in mind that the sharp distinction between science and rationality, vs religion and other spiritual practices and even magic is a very modern innovation. To pre-modern people, these distinctions would have been much more fluid, or simply not exist at all.
@@megelizabeth9492 Well said--their ideas of cause and effect were totally different from ours.
When some fruit trees Bud in the spring time the buds and their subsequent branches are a red color peaches come to mine particularly and I think some species of cherries as well
Wow! Tony is so young here!
oh my.
hair.
more like time travel
It's amazing to think that as a result of Time Team's efforts, this is now a historical site with a centre for the public to visit and see. Maybe not so amazing - just a fact that this show changed the perception of real archaeology post-Indiana Jones. It's a pity that it has not been re-instated.
it has now!
@@talamioros isn't it through their own effort or has mainstream TV provided the funds?
@@christosharrison Funded by enthusiastic fans by way of Patreon. 8,000 supporters so far
You know that it's a really old episode of Time Team when Tony had hair. I would love to visit the area where this was filmed.
Awww Phil´s so young!
Check out 'Time Signs' (all four episodes) It's a series made before Time Team in Devon. Mick and Phil were even younger there. I did a bit digging there, mainly on the farm site (which I think was called Shop). In this programme, I loved the 90s hair on the younger diggers... and the pullies!
HANG ON, the curving features shown at 33:10 looks VERY like the curving lines they found on the carved stone earlier in the program. Is it just me or anybody else see this?
I thought the same thing, immediately.
I read your comment and thought "I wonder if he's talking about John's map?"......Bingo!!
I think I just realized why Tony cut his long hair in later episodes... he had a bald spot that kept showing in the intro's. I quite liked his long locks.
@@melissaspier4840 you'll need a cunning plan
hicks giggling .... I'm up for suggestions 🤷♀️
Tony is an actor and he had to change his hair style for different roles he played. That was also the reason for some less than flattering facial hair and for bleaching his hair blonde. You do what you have to do to pay the bills.
1060 AD and they had 'Black Gold' ?way back then -Wow ( Just another little Time Team snippet ) I knew they had the Black stuff- ( in1759-a man called Guinness, patented 'Black Gold' and called it 'Guinness' ), but other records written in mid 1600's speaks; after some battle & jolly party, they consumed 40 barrels of 'Black gold' & so 'Guinness' as it is now called, has been around for centuries. Slainte'
I also stumbled on it by accident, and have been letting my friends in on it. It's a real gem!
It's Navan with the emphasis on the first syllable - not the second. At least Tony Robinson gets it right.
I find similarities between the Ulster Accent and that of central/eastern Pennsylvania.
koggyb Northern Ireland or b3lfast as a better term as ulster =/= northern Ireland and there are diffrent accents in northern Ireland
Noticed in these earlier episodes they're not freezing and wet😊
OK.. I'm fed up with this "ritual" description of the landscape. They found nothing to support that... Two ditches in a field do not a "ritual landscape" make. Not even in Ireland.
There's the evidence from the earlier trench (on the edge of the sacrificial pool), and cross-referencing of layout with known ritual sites and archival records.
It’s also worth noting that, to pre-modern people, the idea of religion and ritual practice tended to be a lot more fluid than it is today.
I really wish he'd kept long hair. He receded a bit but he could have still had the wonderful long hair while looking quite virile. When he suggests they have a bit of drink instead of worrying more I wonder, (and my wonderment comes from a Yank who thinks he understands the Brit culture but really doesn't, I'm sure). In the US we'd worry about alcoholism of people that wanted to get together to drink every evening, but I hear that in the UK the alcohol content is less and the concern is less. Am I worrying about naught?
Nothing to worry about, having a drink after a days work doesn't mean they are getting drunk.
the kings tables are on the eastern slopes of slieve gullion. cliff
I've seen Tony in other productions and you are wonderful in every one Tony. Time Team is especially interesting as they take us into the realm of archeology and science that in usually preserved for the experts. What an eye opening experience. I wish I had seen these earlier. Thank you Reijer Zaaijer !
want to hear great Irish ancient history look up the Brehom law academy. or the Tu de dannan.
Daniel Whelan Yep. I was hoping they would find something to prove it. The sons of Tuirean, Land of Tyr na Nog, the salmon of knowledge and children of Lyr are my favorites.
Can't beat Time Team!
I could listen to Chris Lynn all day.
Da iawn Cormac. Dydy'r hanes neu'r diwylliant ein ynysoedd yn hollol Saesneg.
Look how young everyone is…eps def dateable by stewart and tonys hair
It seems that the sacrificial pond would have yielded far more interesting artefacts than yet another ‘ditch’.
Maybe I missed something.
I d find it hard to keep a straight face talking to an irish expert called malarky
Bit awkward only speaking Gaelic. Trying to make a point? Different times I guess, I think they’d have dealt with that differently today and not used the footage or brought in a translator.
Thought it a jerk move myself 😊
You’ve got your own pyramids there, you also got a resourceful shovel/trowel/engineer /Antiquities Guy(Phil).
Egypt eat your heart out.
It's fascinating to see the juxtaposition of going full-steam-ahead with massive digging machines and gently removing a grain of sand at a time with brushes and dental picks!
A lot of people have criticized them for the way they did things but those people don't mention the fact that most of the stuff they found because of this show would have been destroyed and lost without them. I realize removing the top portion which doesn't contain anything useful isn't standard procedure but they were under time constraints and as I said these sights there was no other way and Most of what you see in the show would have been lost.
Returning is fun 2022 realizations of Tony's long, straggly hair, Stuarts awesome work & full head of darker red hair, Phil's flat stomach with the younger Mick; so exciting Time team is returning soon with a new, young cast OF EXPERT ARCHEOLOGIST'S! Will Phil return or Tony? Will their replacements live up to the fun, characters & Brit lingo?
Tony does but Phil doesn't. That's why I don't watch the new ones. No Phil equals no fun.
OMG that bronz Smith is a legend 😂😂😂😂
OMG Stewart has hair in these early shows.
Stuart's, look at John's, and his jumper. This show takes me right back to the 90's I think my mum had the same jumper and half the blokes in my town had the same haircut as the irish guys
Thain! Some one should have told him how to pronounce it haha 😂
I thought ‘thwain’
‘Twane’
tweety
i wonder if those two young ladies ever entered the field?
The way Carenza says “shut up” is so posh.
I’d imagine Phil saying it would sound very different.
Oh that's rich, Carenza telling someone else to shut up.
Carenza needs to be told to shut every ten minutes, she rudely interrupts people continuously. When she tells someone else to shut up it usually means she's been proven wrong, yet again.
Having watched most of these shows I have to disagree!!! Carenza has as right to speak. She is a hard working professional!!
Cell phones would have been helpful
