i guess it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
@Randy Brandon meh lately I've been using Flixportal. just search on google after it :P -thatcher
@Thatcher Keaton thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it !
@Randy Brandon you are welcome :D
I love these archaeology documentaries
Accidental comment. The video switched from Shapiro Berlinski. My mistake sorry. I do love these too🤝
They are wonderful, aren't they?
anytime one needs to be outside holding paper in england, make sure it is laminated
Uk weather is psychotic & rainy as fk!!! 😡😡😡🤯
I live in Seattle. I use paper from a company called "Rite in the Rain" for my daily journal/planner as well as everything else I need. Back when I did research, I once dropped my notepad in a stream and discovered it a mile downstream completely intact, legible and ready for me to finish my fish count :D
ya or sharpie on cardboard
I so love this show!! I even watch them over again!
Have you watched Digging For Britain? Also very enjoyable.
First time we were in the UK, the newspaper read "sunny spells" while in USA we'd write "partly cloudy" amazing the differences in English language :)
Love the English language though I am not a native speaker.
Sounding like one of George Carlin's observations.
I really enjoy this series. Anything Tony presents is pretty much guaranteed to keep ones interest and teach you a thing or two.
Except he being so flamboyant, you understand why they conquered in the first place.... just saying.
Yay!!! The official channel and not bootleg channel! This show is interesting.
...this channel exists years after, and thanks to, the "bootleg" channels - who btw make it clear they exist not-for-profit of any kind
This one was really great ,the type of structures and the expanse of the buildings is mind blowing, 3 story building with one and two story wings , it would have been a site to behold.
My favorite line: “if you look right down here to this pair of legs” camera pans to leg bones
17:00 beautiful sight - lovely rainbow behind the church.
The guy digging in the graveyard pretty much sounds like he belongs in a Harry Potter movie
Guessing you're talking about Phil Harding. One of the biggest stars of *Time Team.*
A show that's been shown for 20 seasons (from 16 January 1994 to 7 September 2014).
It also included a lot of special episodes and other things, you should totally look it up :)
Thank you! Always love Time Team episodes no matter the archaeology.
Just what I needed on my Sunday evening 😌
lemon slices. Me too.
Same here 😆
Sansa Stark loves lemon slices
Digging in the graveyard: London, Ontario is just old enough to have things that have moved from living memory, and things were so fast and loose in the early years of settlement that old records are, if existing, not always easy to find. A few years back, excavations for expansion at the Western Fair Grounds started to unearth human remains. Oddly, just shin bones and feet for the most part. Local historians were able to figure out that the land once belonged to a Church, which sold their land to what was then the Grand Trunk Railroad. So, they exhumed the graves to rebury the remains at the site of the new church. The technique used to exhume the graves wasn't to dig up each individual grave, rather, they dug one trench behind each row of headstones, broke into the head end of the caskets, and dragged the remains out. In older graves, where the bones disarticulated, the leg and feet bones were left behind. I guess no one wanted to reach that far back in the casket to get them out. More work is slated for this area next year, and it's anticipated that more of the same will be found.
Wow, I did not know that! (I'm from the area.)
@@nanettemorton4054 The up coming project will have them digging into where the pauper's graves were located. It's doubtful they were exhumed in the first place.
Amazing piece of history. We are so concerned now that we show respect for the dead and back then they were ripped apart and no one cared. We’ve come a long way
I never understood why such weird time limits are always imposed on digs like these. It makes it seem like a gameshow challenge to tell archaeologists that they only have 1 day to conduct their dig. Why 1 day? Why not 2 or 5? It’s seems that the most important thing that archaeological digs need is time. Discovering the past accurately isn’t something that should be rushed.... Just my lame opinion..
They are a team of professionals who have full time jobs. Many as university professors. These digs are three days and a team is left after the three days to document and fill in the trenches. They are meant as preliminary explorations that may be revisited some time in the future. Unlike North America Great Britan has thousands of years of archeology also Britan is a small island there is hardly a square meter that has not been inhabited. People find thousand year old jewellery in there back gardens when they are planting their roses. Hope that helps.
That was the concept! It wouldn't have got on telly and been the hit it was without it. There had been popular archeological programmes on TV before, but appealing to a small audience.
Actually many of the digs were extended after the team left, and several were returned to in later shows. Local archeologists followed up once they were gone. Archeologists were at first very sceptical. but many became great fans of the show. Often county archeologists contacted the show with suggestions for digs, as their hands were tied and their budgets empty. For a whole Time Team were the most active archeologists in the country.
Usually the lands are loaned and most of the people are volunteers. Archaeology cost money. Public digs are longer.Also I assume it matters that whether the property is in use or not.
@@laurasimpson2870 I asked that very question once, and got virtually this same answer.
It's all about costs.
Archeology is based on private funding since governments doesn't care about history.
Especially not in Europe.
In the Forest Service today(Canada) we still have “Chainmen”. We now use measured tape but still holler “Chain! at the end of every 50M. Except TT did not have frisky moose to worry about.
Stewart does not need to dig holes to do archaeology. He is my favorite!
Finally. An educational show on RUclips that does not have conspiracies nor aliens. Amen.
I miss Tony and the Time Team Gang soooo much!
I have a really crazy family history, and you are giving me my history. I love you guys.
Its always scary thinking about how during plague years the churches were just filled with bodies and dirt was just thrown on top at a later date because it was too dangerous and there wasnt anyone around to give proper burial.
Thank you. This was very Interresting. I LUV to learn.
The church may have been built on Roman building foundations.
@Mark Many *British* churches do have partially *Roman* foundations.
What a fantastic episode!!
Helen is about the cutest thing ever, she's an archaeologist and not afraid to get her hands dirty, she is the whole package and more.
This stuff is beautifully amazing to me
I LOVE THIS GUY,HE COULD TELL MY MOMS HISTORY AND ID STILL; BE SHOCKED,
Imagine dying and someone digs up your bones but only cares about the mud and stones and doesn't even care who you were let alone talk about your remains.
It is only bones, not a person.
@@GlobetrotterBR You are right but the thought is kinda sobering
@@GlobetrotterBR It WAS a person though and whenever I see random skulls/skeletons like they show in this episode I always wonder who that person was and what their life was like
@@dougs7367 The only interest when a skeleton is found, is for scientific purposes. It make no sense to refer to a skeleton as if it was a person with feelings.
On *TT,* indeed in *British* archæology generally, human remains are treated with _great_ respect. I imagine the same applies in most countries.
TYVM 🌷 World History Documentary (Great presentation in archaeology.)👍
#ticomeriabeijando🔥
Phil just loves to bust John Geophys' chops. lol
Found you all at last ! Hugs from North Sweden.
South Sweden here also loving this show!
Smålänning här

These episodes are available on several channels and I've watched them all. I still watch when they pop up.
"If you look down between that pair of legs-" Only on Time Team ^.^;;
... _Ideally_ only on Time Team ^.^;;;
I lived in Thorney, just down the road as a small child. It’s very, very haunted, the whole area. I get the feeling that there would be an important site there, pre Christian, which then became early Christian, and then some one had the brilliant idea of building a Big Church out of all the “spare” building material just lying around. Like at Hadrians Wall.
So where are the bones of the original Celts? How old is the Pre History?
Dori Tos : ah, not me. My Grandmother. We lived near the abbey in Thorney. While staying, my visiting Scottish grandmother ( we are all scottish, but were living in England due to Fathers work) after a couple of nights, mentioned at breakfast, that it was nice to have a working abbey with monks over the road.
Silence. Crickets etc etc..
“Er, what working monastery with which monks?”
“Oh,the ones that walk to the church at night for prayers”
“Where, again?”
“ over the road, their chanting & singing has woken me three nights in a row. I watched them last night cross the grass & go into the church”
“ there’s no one living there. It’s deserted.”
True enough, the site had been deserted for 100s of years.
An argument ensued. You’d understand if you knew my family. They believed my grandmother as far as what she saw, just not how to explain it.
My mother said Thorney was a “well trodden” place. Full of memories from Roman times and before.
Tiempo Nuevo : I don’t know where their bones lie. 2000 year old bones don’t always survive. Depends on the conditions of the soil. 😊👍🏻
Amanda Pittar That theory is so wise! You know, I thought the same as you cause, when I went to Mexico, I've been explained there that many many buildings, from simple houses to big churches, were built from the stones of ancient pyramids.... crazy!
Awesome finds, but now what? all that work and walk away? keep digging!
It costs money. If you have deep pockets, go fund the digs instead of complaining on the internet ;)
I love these videos so interesting.
Fantastic dig.
Great documentary, I really enjoy this series. But I must say, the UK has some of the most inclement weather i've ever seen. Is there an episode without rain or looking like rain is certainly inevitable? In the states we call it the state of Washington.
*Britain* is very _green_ but for it to be both green and fertile we need rain as well as sun.
Great guest!
many thumbs up!!!
Thank you.
Its really sad that there weren't more commercials.
What? You don't use ublock origins?
no Commercials in America just saying hum y is that
Wing Nut I’m in the states, and I got them. My ad blocker no longer works!

P La I just tried. I hope it works! If it does, Thank You!!!
This is great 😄
Really love this channel 👍😍😍💕🌺
Great show🙂👍
I'm surprised these guys couldn't figure out what a Praetorium was, The Praetorian Guard goes clear back to the first Romans. I assume the building under discusion was something akin to a barracks. I do enjoy the Timeline videos and learn a lot from them.
Was here Nov 2019 two days before thanks giving
Mad Dog
I’m here two days after.
markj6700 today’s my daughters birthday! A lovely time for a birthday!
Interesting history.
💒🇺🇸😀hi....from Suprise,Arizona...Nov.30..2019..first time checking out your channel....I think I'm hooked...and you have a new sub.thankQ..well on to the next intriguing video...👍🇬🇧...see you later cousins.....
Love Time Team..... from Greenville, Aabama😁❤️🌍🌏💖
This is such a great show
I still love Time Team!
I wonder if these sites weren't in occupation, if someone elected to keep the fill open. That is an impressive find with beautiful documentation. Shame that unlike Rome itself, the reach of history remains buried and buries itself further with time. If sites like this can be fully excavated and on display, it would serve many functions.
I wonder how much of the wall's are made into other buildings near by.
Superb 💥
I imagine he has a cunning plan to explain it all...
@markj6700 of course! He is Baldrick after all... ^.^
😂😊😂
Find it worth watching if Tony Robinson's in it👍
I like Phil Harding. I have been in Wilts. In Malmesbury, Devizes, but I do not recall other places.
Got my hopes up for a new time team.... 2011 rerun.
C'mon Tony. Mate, you wore that shirt in "Massacre in the Cellar" episode. It's a bloody noice shirt but...
love Stuart in his costume,he s made for the part🤗
Srs. Time line , Saludos desde Lima Perú, Sudamérica. Preciosos vuestros documentales , pero podrían hacer un pequeño un esfuerzo y traducirlos todos en ESPAÑOL . Muchas Gracias. Todo nuestro cariño desde la tierra de los Incas.
Dang artis had the run of the land didnt he? What a beautiful situation for him, and now all this time later time team came and evolved his work.
Does anyone else think Matthew is adorable?
At The Beginning Of The Video He Seems So Excited
21:05 "In the area Ben is interested in"
Yo... me too lol
So I'm pretty sure that was on purpose. Lmfao they sat and watched this several times before airing. Perfect
Watched..... trying to keep track of the episodes I've watched..... RUclips stopped keeping track for me.
I so miss this show! Other than the last two years. When they pushed all the old team pretty much out of the way and had that attractive Young woman archaeologist hosting the show. For me that pretty much ruined the show.
The surveying chains and the title Chainman was still in use in Civil Engineering in Scotland in the 1950's.
its amayzing to think that after the Romans left/collapsed, it wasnt until the late 1800s that buildings as complicated were once again built(heating and plumbing).
Shift -Z , evidence points to a cataclysmic event in the 5th century the brought about the dark ages. With the return of the Templars from Solomon's Temple in the 12th century(and with them some knowledge of ancient architecture) came the Gothic era in which this church was built(I would guess).
I'm curious as to wether or not there was an older site under the Roman era that would tie to The Straight Tract.
All of that said, I'm somewhat new to the history of it all, especially in regards to being able to connect the dots between Stonehenge, The Straight Tract and newer architecture built upon much more ancient sites.
@@Saskmopar I'm intrigued! I know about one or many deluge 10500 years ago and one or many mud flood maybe few hundred years ago... but I've never heard about one happening 5000 years ago! Could you tell me more?
Shift-z Nice and intelligent observation, you are right! 👍
Cameleonfleuri , it's not so much a deluge or flooding 15-1600 years ago(beginning of dark age, 5th century AD) but something that was catastrophic enough to stop tree growth in its tracks, or so the scientists who've studied tree rings from that time say. What the evidence points to is at least ten years where the climate was so inhospitable that trees stopped growing and therefore it's believed that there were many years of crop failures, leading-one can theorize- to conditions favourable for the rise of the Justinian Plague.
If you go back another 1000 years from 5000 years ago(6000BP or 4000BC) you are in the epoch that main stream archaeologists would have you believe was the beginning of civilization(Sumerians, Pyramids etc.), why is there little to no evidence of civilizations before that? Well there is a crater in the middle of the Indian Ocean that some believe caused a 600+ foot wave that wiped out evidence of the previous civilizations in the "cradle". And could possibly be where the story of Noah came from..
I recommend you check out GeoCosmic Rex here on YT.
Pretty rainbow at 17:00 ! 😙
Each time I watch it I wait for black adder to smack boldrick.
baldric
He had a cunning plan
They couldn't have poured just a teensy weensy bit of water on the tiles to look for ANY bits of color???? It's going to be filled back in forever with dirt anyway! Why not rinse them off a tweak while you have the chance? Seems like a missed opportunity to me, being such an old, rare glimpse into history we will probably never get another chance to explore! SO COOL. SO OLD, and so little to nothing known about it. HISTORY IS SO INTERESTING 😍😍😍😍
In 37:42 a Ghost behind Tony, looks like a man with a Spear
CASTillo whoa good catch it’s odd for sure
There are times that I wish they had more than three days
Here's Matt as Baldrick the Tall.
24:00 You only have a limited amount of time and this Quackpot wants to take his sweet time doing things the old school style 🤦🏻♂️
I do love these videos but the ads are getting out of hand ..... it can become difficult to follow when there are SO many interruptions... right in the middle is a sentence... then you have stop, back it up and listen again .... not even half way through and on the 3rd set of ads. Not as enjoyable anymore
ad blocker. easy download, no strings attached.
As Rod Challis says - I put in an ad blocker and am always surprised at the folks miserable over ads. I never saw a one. Highly recommend ad blocker.
Rod Challis thank you for tip!!
Sharon Riley thank you for confirmation of the great tip!!
Get play Google play family for you and your 5 favorite people. Or get friendly with someone who has it. No ads on any platform, best music service available, and RUclips music for all the unknown and bootleg music.
Was hoping they would find Anthony Weiner's laptop.
I’ve never seen geophys have it so easy.
Does the rain ever stop that island? What a dreary place.
I live here and I can assure you that it's not at all dreary.
there were slack times where helens trench was viewed by all the villagers
I really like this show but why is it only limited to 3 days?
England looks like a beautiful country,but it seems you can count on one hand how many days a month it doesn't rain.I have seen a lot of videos of England more than not it rains.
philosophicalreason I love it. I wish America was like that.
It looks so good because it's very fertile and that means rain.
Whereas US weather reports call out rain showers UK weather reports call out scattered sun. While it rains a lot it’s no way near as dreary as the US Northwest.
Hello from Albania
Pope and Cardinals as Church Command are in Vatican fort, in Rome city, Italy. Roman ruins and Church are expected.
They've done a few artis sites, and from what I can tell, he's probably one of the more accurate and reliable antiquarian archeologists of his time.
If you Google him, many UK archaeologists actually agree and say much the same about him. Dude really was one of the first real archaeologists.
So sad the show changed so much.
Yes i agree with you!
44:17 This guy is my favorite of this episode. He looks like an interesting man. The kind of man to sit down at a pub and tell you a fascinating story of the time he went to Thailand and accidentally joined a drug cartel, but only later after leaving did he realize they were in fact, a drug cartel.
Praetorium is probably from Praetor, who was basically a high government official, like commander of an army or magistrate...etc. If this was important site, then someone like Praetor could have been in charge and that would have been his residence. Hence the grand size.
25:06 an obvious reference to The Neverending Story lll.
So would they have had to bust through that floor for the burial plot?
That could be the ceiling
That's a real professional: picking up heavy piece of pottery by its rim, unsupported. those items are probably props.

Can’t watch. Too many commercials!
kissing gate at the church,,ahahahahahaha, i should have guessed.
Had to bail too many comercials.
i like u tube because i dont like commercials but now its going the way of cable tv
Gotta pay the bills, there is no free lunch.

I love history and archeology thank you for this.....
eu também gosto de história e arqueologia muito sucesso!
