Couldn"t help myself when Phil started talking about the big boulders, but my immediate response was "That's a nice boulder" said in the voice of Donkey from Shrek.
Not sure if this actually makes sense, but Phil Harding is how I imagine Benjamin Franklin must've been. Intelligent, charismatic, and throwing himself into his work. Physically, there seem to be similarities as well.
Never thought of that but that's something to consider. Love Phil and Franklin is someone I've found to be beyond interesting. Yeah, they are similar in many ways. I'd like to meet both of them. Imagine what kind of conversations you could have.
Franklin was an expermenter, a curious amateur, but Harding is extraordnarily knowledgeable, a multi- discipline expert and the foremost knapper alive, ss well as being personable and a unique character.
Well dartmoor is certainly as ancient as the world itself but I read that the granite formed during the carboniferous period about 309 k years ago. So pretty ancient. Magical? Id say maybe scary. Even knowing that weathering has made the rock formations Im in the realms of the evil faerie folk I read about in my Grimms' tales and Irish legends. It would be nice if it could be reforested to its pre bronze age environment but only in parts just to see what it looked like before farmers got at it. But as peat is a better sequester of greenhouse gases than forest that needs to be protected. I wish there was reincarnation as a person instead of just random atoms floating off into various random life forms yo come. One life isnt enough.
I was never convinced by the farmstead enclosure idea at Hamsterly. A 5 metre thick stone wall, that must have taken years to build, to keep cows/pigs/sheep safe? From what, tanks?
In an agrarian society, a fortified enclosure was a necessity. Raiding parties would have tried to steal stock. The larger community, the larger the walls needed to protect their cows and sheep.
I’ve always wished that they would do some archeological digs on Bronn Wennili, you know our Cornish oral folklore says that buried beneath Bronn Wennil, is one of Cornwall’s greatest kings! 😀 So a part of me, when told the oral folklore by my grandmother back in the 70’s as a child, has always wished someone would do some archaeological digs there!
The only thing that would have added to Bridges reaction would have been someone rushing in , looking at her hand and shouting out for someone to call the emergency services. As for wimping out, I was cleaning out a clogged culvert when I latched onto a snake and basically vaulted backwards about 3 meters.
Its impressive but if you think about what peopleh built thousands of years bc, large villages, graves and sortnof cities . Thry where asvcapable as we are
The amount of ads is ridiculous. Four ads before anything, a few minutes of program, then six ads in a row?? Forget it. I love Time Team, but it's not worth this level of advertising.
@karphin1 I think the Chromecast would give me the same number of ads. Are you using a browser and ad blocker on the ipad? I could watch RUclips with a laptop plugged into the TV, but it's not exactly convenient. :(
@@FeralRob so I should reward Google's abusive ad behaviour by paying them? I'm pretty sure that people posting videos on the scale of time team have some control over the quantity of ads shown.
i think the reason they made so many walls as ide call them ,,,,was to clear the fields of all the boulders and big rocks,,,,can you imaging them littering the fields break your ankles every step,,,,,,

Hello Mick, Phil and Tony !!!! The trinity of TT !!!!!
I really hate to tell you this, but Mick Aston died 24 of June 2013.
Love the classic TT episodes.
Now sing us a song of the mighty boll weevil.

He does somewhat resemble him.
But Franklin was a bit tidier. I cant imagine phil harding sitting still long enough even for a photographic pirtrait either. 😂
I suspect that Franklin had a mischevious wit, just like Harding.

I love all the Time Team !
Time team !!!!!!
Wow, just looking at this place, one gets the feeling of something very ancient and magical !

Time team for the win!!

nah,,,,,,it was the elephants
To keep them from escapin g? Or to keep them secured?

From people who wanted to steal your livestock

I sure miss this group of misfits :)
My alltime favorite❤

I must daily resist the urge of my ancestors to leave the modern world behind and worship some cool rocks

"Do Frogs bite?" Like bunnies, frogs will take your arm off if not careful.
It's a vicious fucking rabbit! My goodness that's still funny. Your comment is wonderful.
They bite, but it takes them a long time.
Frogs do bite, but their teeth are small and unsharp, however rabbits can take your finger!
🤔💬just as I suspected...
With their big sharp pointy teeth 😅
My question, were there tree and shrubs or was it always so desolate.
18:00 answered within 90 seconds.
if you drop a coin from your pocket in a thousand years they will say you left it as an offering for the gods.
Or it could be part of your hoard lol
bridget & the frog 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Surprised at her reaction to the frog. Didn't see her as that wimpy.

11:37 -- Is this an awkward attempt at flirtation?
Do they use lidar on these sites
Where possible, but there wasn't that much publicly-available Lidar data when the original TT series were filmed.
They found WWII barbed wire within the stones? Shouldn't that age that section?
Finding the barbed wire there only proves that someone was there in the 1940s. It does not prove the stones were put there then.
and as usual -TT has 3 days to find out-!!!!!!! and,as usual, they found!!!!!!
❤❤❤
What if it's an ancient race track, hear me out! What is the pitch in the down hill grade of this sight?
Tny Robinson will have done very little digging. He is there for show and nothing else.
Its impressive but if you think about what peopleh built thousands of years bc, large villages, graves and sortnof cities . Thry where asvcapable as we are
45 min show.
25 min of commercials.........
I gave up before it even finished.
England has such rich history the British museum should showcase it more than their Egyptian or greek artifacts.

I am watching on my TV having cast it from an iPad. Not too many ads, and they were very brief!
@karphin1 I think the Chromecast would give me the same number of ads. Are you using a browser and ad blocker on the ipad? I could watch RUclips with a laptop plugged into the TV, but it's not exactly convenient. :(
No ads with premium

That little skip button works great. Do you think stuff like this is free?
