    @42:30 A possible solution to some of the scratching/defacing of coins might be that some people with access to large numbers of them, were using a tool like a plane to remove small slivers of silver from the raised areas, in order to "clip" the coins in a less obvious manner.

      Ozzie Aborigines seem to have been extremely "unadvanced", in relation to the British and European Neolithic peoples. The European late Stone Age folk were inventive and workerman-like, in comparison: peoples who wanted to advance themselves. They were the technological experts of their day.

    I love your Q&A sessions. I would love to see some time with the farm shop . Maybe even interviews with family members that are involved with the working the farm/farmshop. and of course, the cows and other animals. We see all about the improvements and mechanicals of the farm but I woud like to see more about and with the animals, cows, sheep, goats, highlands, Keep getting your voice heard. People have to understand that yes, a tractor is worth alot of money, a big asset, but without it, you can not run the farm . It is an asset but not something you can sell to raise money and still run the family farm

    I wondered for a long time why archeologists always think they are ritual sites. Just one look at the charts that show the amount of human endeavour needed to live a subsistence lifestyle, shows that only in recent modern times, people have had enough leisure time outside of spending every working hour to scrape a living off the land. In ancient times it is FAR MORE likely that MOST structures had some connection to the hearth and home.........yes, trackways etc. are possible, as are chucking in religious objects but far more likely connected to a stone age household, defence, entranceway than some barmy road to nowhere to throw an object!

    55:00 It's fascinating to think about what Britain would have been like without the Normans, or what Britain would have been like if Rome had not "converted" the British by removing the older Celtic church - Personally, I think the British Isles would have been a very different, and better, place.

    No idea why they are talking about the tanks armor only being good against small arms fire when that's what they were made for. They were not WWII main battle tanks in use or design they were infantry support vehicles made to fight against infantry with infantry they support. The role was more Infantry fighting vehicle than tank. A modern equivalent to a WWI tank is the Bradly IFV not a tank.
    And what are they on about artillery? No tank even modern can withstand WW1 artillery fire. Artillery is big guns way behind the front line(20ish miles) that fires over friendlies into the enemies side of the front line or further past. Tanks do not fire artillery, they fire directly at the target in visual range across the battlefield not up and over, if a friendly crosses that line of sight just as the main gun fires the friendly gets hit. Completely different things. May as well call the slugs from a battle rifle an arrow and you would be just as accurate as calling tank fire artillery.

    Strange this is the only time they have a moment of silence and memorial in a archeological body that died in war but no other skeleton that died in battle 🤷🏻‍♂️ Also why they call police sometimes but not others 😂

      Considering WW1 was basically a family feud. The salty results and a megalomaniac fueling old grudges making his own sock ambitions led to WW2. Now Germany and the UK are finally civil and on the same fence. So politically it makes perfect sense. If you didn't notice it was an ex soldier that had initiated the moment of silence. If they weren't there. The diggers probably wouldn't bother. They call police if it's on public property or residential to report that remains are found. They don't always film it but common sense would dictate they legally have to.
