1:36 That happened to the Dad of a friend of mine. Old rural village in Germany, was important during medieval times. Oldest finds are 2nd century and the village was first mentioned in the 900s, was along a crossing of trading routes, had Monastery and was the location of Synods around 1000. He wanted to remove some old stable (built solid of stone etc. with actual foundations) and wanted to build a second house there on his property for his daughters family to live in. So whe the stable was taken down and they wanted to remove the foundation, they found that those were actually even older walls. In the end the contractors were not allowed to work anymore and the closest university dug around there for 6-7 months, turning his backyard into an excavation site. And don't even start believe he had any right to prevent that or be compensated in any way... After everything was documented they were allowed to build next to it and the dig was covered with earth again. Everything was delayed by another year and he reckons it cost the family around 15k in contractor deposits and extra rent that his daughter had to keep paying in her old house. He just said next time he does anything on his property first, he'll ask a friend with a digger first to test if anything is there. If there is, just close it down again and shut up about it.
Funny thing about death by shovel - I actually made the shovel the chosen weapon for my D&D setting's goddess of death. A war shovel would be sharpened on one side, and used to bludgeon or hack at grave robbers - or anyone deciding they didn't want to stay dead.

So I asked the park ranger how we were sure which rock was actually Plymouth rock. Apparently, that rock isn't native to Massachusetts and made it's way down from Canada. That coupled with the fact that it matched the description from the stories apparently means that if Plymouth Rock was in fact real, that's the only one it could be. Still insanely underwhelming to look at. Luckily there's lots of other things to see that are much more interesting to make it worth a visit

6:00 The greatest event in American history and thereby World History is when George Washington willingly gave up the leadership of the county. Before him, the idea of willingly giving up power for the sake of an ideal was unheard of. If he did what everyone else in history did up to that monent and became leader for life, the ideals of the new republic would have turned out to be a joke and America would have ended up just another monarchy/dictatorship. Similarly, the second greatest event in American history was when Robert E Lee willingly surrendured his army. He could instead have yelled "Never give up, Never surrender" and ordered a guerrila war that could have ripped this country apart to this day. Every other event in American history was people doing what people do naturally out of human nature.
I'd argue that the greatest event in American and world history is when victorious General Washington rode to Congress alone to resign and return control of the army he commanded rather than (like nearly every other nation forming general) leading his army in to secure power for himself. Think of it: A man who twice turned down life long power when all existing precedent (and even much after) would have suggested otherwise.
Supposedly, 2 European diplomats were discussing Washingtoninhis second term. One said that he heard that Washington did not intend to seek another term, but just to retire quietly. The other replied that if he does, then he truly is the greatest man of the age.

As an archaeoligist the running gag was that whenever we found something we didn't know the use for, we would say it's for "ritual purposes". We knew very well that it either had a practical purpose we don't know yet, it's purpose was aesthetic, or for entertainment. I however like to think someone thousands of years ago was doing a long-troll by making some kind of nonsense "archaeologist confuser", bury it and have a good laugh at our expense.
The history of agriculture is a bit more complicated, I mean look it from the hunter/gatherer perspective. You put a lot of effort and resources into the seeds that may never grow. One of reasons why farming worked was rivers as the source of fresh water and game, the tribes were going up and down and experimenting with seeds. That along with evolution of plants allowed the creation of small farms, which got bigger and people decided it was not worth of going anymore.
Larry bird and MJ are my favorite trash talkers. Bird was just brutally disrespectful, but if you made MJ mad enough, he wouldnt even get mad, hed just say "im gonna drop 60 points on you," and actually do it lol. I love hearing old NBA players talk about that, how there was nothing scarier than MJ just calmly telling you what he was going to do to you on the court, because as soon as he said it, you knew he was gonna do it and there wasnt a damn thing they could do to stop him lol
The thing about Vikings, I feel like its really about perspective. An english scholar who probably only bathes once every week or three is going to have a different perspective on Vikings than a middle eastern scholar who probably bathes daily with fancy herbs and oils. During the medieval period, I feel like Arabs were basically the elves of real life. While Europeans were sitting around playing with rocks and stabbing each other with metal sticks, the Arabic people were writing beautiful poetry, creating fancy oils and medicine, and had the power and skill to level a castle without ruining their makeup.

Those Gallo-Roman dodecahedrons are an actual historical mystery. We have absolutely no idea what purpose, if any, they had. They're virtually all made of bronze and no accounts exist that mention them or describe their use. They appear in coin hordes so it may be that they were considered valuable or had some purpose related to coinage. They may have just been decorative objects or toys. They can be used to knit gloves with fingers, but the method used for knitting using them didn't exist until the 1700s. They've been found as far out as Southeast Asia so someone was buying them. We just have genuinely no idea the purpose.

I have to think that death by shovel has been a thing since shortly after the invention of the shovel.
If you believe the Bible, the first murderer was the inventor of farming, so a shovel may well have been the first official murder weapon.
