    The depth or artistry and craftsmanship in Britain is remarkable. We can all be proud and thankful that these precious skills have been preserved and are being put to excellent use.

      This sort of thing is done in other countries as well. In France a whole 12th century castle has been built using medieval style tools and equipment like treadmill elevators to lift stone etc. There are 4 British documentaries covering the particiation of 4 English people for Guédelon castle. The videos are on you tube. They cover building, decorating, lifestyle etc.

    What's most remarkable to me is that this project was done with a budget of £2.45 million. It seems to me to be impossible to have this many artisans and artists working on such a large array of furnishings and decorations on this size budget. Perhaps some craftsmen donated their time? Whatever the case is, kudos to everyone involved, and this has to be one of my favorite Time Team episodes.

    • @happygrandma5637
      @happygrandma5637 Год назад +14

      Yes, even though 2.45 pounds is a lot of money no matter what, the years this was almost 20 years ago. A spectacular monument to the wonderful people of English Heritage and to the craftspeople involved.

      Many of these artists, and craftsman have been providing their services to the UK Royal Family, the Dutch RF and Finland RF. As long as there are monarchs in the EU, their skills and trade crafts will be in demand, skills passed on to family members or apprentices.

      In Hollywood that would need a budget of 234 million and the quality would be crap.

    Another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BRILLIANT Episode from Time Team Official! I'm gobsmacked at the level of Artisanry and Craftsmanship that English Heritage has managed to conjure up! It leaves me with a good feeling that these Ancient Arts and this pivotal part of European, and especially English Heritage is still being kept and taught.
    I SALUTE EVERYBODY involved with this project, but especially the Young Craftsmen & Artisans who have chosen a profession that keeps the Heritage alive and enriches the Lives of us all.
    Hopefully one day my tired Viking bones will make it across the North Sea so I may see this wonder with my own eyes!

      Same here, but it happens to me almost in every episode where more about the past is discovered. It may be both, because I'm passionate about history and because we don't have that historical vastness here... I'm from Argentina, imagine that any historical European building can be older than my country. Of course, we've dinosaur fossil deposits in our Patagonia, a record of human settlements from about 12 thousands years ago, and then nothing until pre-Hispanic cultures.

      I recently saw a special about the previously unknown pre Hispanic cultures found all along the Amazon. Lidar has made it possible to find structures under the canopy and ground. I wish I remembered the title. It would have been a NoVA or Nat Geo. Your continent had great civilizations in theAmazon Basin, archeologists are only just finding it, hidden by the trees and “hills”, just as European and Middle Eastern, Persian and Greece archeology revealed cities under the “tells”. List and other new technologies were needed to find them. In some respects, archeology is always new.

    It was weirdly-interesting to see the tapestry, mid-creation as it were... I couldn't help but be drawn into thinking about the world as it might have been back then, when everything was so much more ordered, much slower to play-out - perhaps - making it so much easier to digest.
    Today - by comparison - the tapestry would have likely found itself on a news-reel (minus what ended up on the cutting room floor), so it was useful, from that much at least, to be able to create a internal picture of life as might have been like, vs how it appears now. Excellent episode, and one I remember with fondness. Thank you.

    What an excellent idea - to furnish a castle as the inhabitants intended. I've visited many a British castle, and it is difficult to imagine the reality when you're standing in a series of cold, bare, dark, grey rooms, this backed up by the paltry additions Hollywood puts into a film. So, to see it like this brings home the real opulence kings and queens would have enjoyed in those times.

    Beckett was the first movie I remember seeing as a child at age 3. my Mom was an English teacher/scholar. She used to drag me to classes with her somedays. I was 4 as well when I first watched Macbeth in her Shakespeare class. We arrived for Beckett for the 2nd showing in 1964 and the first was still showing, I wandered around bored as Mom bought drinks. There was only a velvet curtain rather than a door to where the movie was still playing so…I peeked. I saw a murder happen on screen so I quietly cried and told my mom I didn’t want to see that movie because a man gets his head chopped off. I was panicking when she made me go see that movie, I tried so hard to convince her but nope. (yeah-my mom was negligent and not caring about a lot of things concerning me, many times-Loved her but she was not a great mom. ) But the movie was good in between deaths and I watched it again a couple times as an adult, even tho at 3 I was lost so far as politics between church and state. This movie was Probably another reason I never could believe in gods or rulers-LOL. eff em both.
