Watching these things just consumes me. I'm always getting suggestions about what movies to watch and such, but my heart just isn't in that. This is the stuff I'm made of.
That doesn't mean I believe everything, I'm not gullible to every suggestion, but it's interesting. Speculation is also interesting. It doesn't mean you're being converted to something, don't be afraid of a suggestion or an idea. Just see it for what it is, interesting.
Well said!
One of Sir Tony's very best. I knew the minute he said "a friend of mine excavated it" that we would have an encounter with Phil Harding (of Time Team fame)! Tony is sensitive to the (sometimes strange) views of the people he encounters; ley lines were a big deal in the years I lived in Britain, and you can hear echoes in Jethro Tull's "Songs from the Wood." And even more so, his reading of Edward Thomas's poem in the tree cathedral -- it's enough to bring tears for anyone who has read about the terrible fallout from World War I. An excellent walk, by an exceptional presenter.
Having followed Tony's career from The Black Adder, he's impressed me with everything I've seen him do. Not many people are like him. Phil seems to be everyone's favorite archaeologist. Not surprising, with his personality.
I haven't listened to Songs from the Wood for many years--what's wrong with me? Funny thing, I know Jethro Tull, on the Songs from the Woods tour made a stop at the University of Illinois--I have an old poster I found somewhere long ago. One of my prized possessions.
He never disappoints and in fact exceeds expectations. This one is elegantly simple but loaded with amazing history and details.
The guy singing in the woods reminded me of the scene from the movie 1917 where the kid was singing "I'm a Poor Wayfaring Stranger".
I poked around Grimes Graves several times in 72 and 73. I might have met Phil but I don't remember. I was very impressed with the site. I was impressed with all of the sites in the area. The thought that I was in the same spot that people from thousands of years before had been was a bit of a psychological shock. The same was true in my childhood home in Kansas but it seemed more real there.

My being in the USA, I cannot well relate to this narrative, except that it is a curious history of may ancient relatives past history.
How ever, The USA has its own stories of ancient roads, which are also generally forgotten by us all.
This story of ancient Great Britain is quite interesting, even if I have no chance of ever visiting. This was well presented, I think I'll watch a few more. After all, my ancestors came from the places visited, Thanks. ;-)
Great documentary thank you!!
Good to see you two chaps together. I still go back and watch Time Team and I also managed to purchase a copy of the wonderful book that was published due to all your work. Thanks 🎉
Fascinating! Thank you!
So-called "Roman" roads are almost certainly much older than the Current Era. They may have been paved by the Romans, but they were laid on routes surveyed much earlier. The practice of setting bonfires on hills likelyserves as a record of regular re-surveying in a forested landscape.
Very beautiful done too!!!
So glad to have found this show. Beautiful scenery, fascinating wonderings. Of course much of everything we "know" about the past is really speculation, there is so little written documentation, and knowledge of how to interpret what is. There is much we could have wrong...but that's why we keep seeking.
Absolutely beautiful.
More about ancient Grimes please. My maternal grandfather was a Grimes. We don’t know much about him. Robert Lee Grimes
If TR is an amateur historian, I'd like to know what a professional historian looks like...
So interesting, Never heard of this. History by mouth, stories and lost songs, we are now doomed to Tick Tock and Instagram. No body writes letters any more and most art is now digitally made. I still use pencils and paints, paper and glue....
It's Baldric! 😄❤️

What is the book called?
Huzzah! Love Phil... neat to see him in this.
I guess the silly nonsense is part of the story, maybe, but ick. Jumped over ley lines and the druid.
It started out great, then pssss!
It’s all under our feet, isn’t it, if we stop and turn within.
So how did these people know the flint was there in the first place. Who in their right mind would choose this site to dig for flint?
I'd imagine the land surface had a fair amount of it. So once that was exhausted, the naturally dug down a bit to see if they could find more. Then you just, follow the biggest vein.
Leave it to the Brits to industrial revolutionize Neolithic flint knapping 😂
Oh, but you don't show the strange mystical figures in the cave at Royston?
I love this history, but I don’t know if my family is interested.
A question:
At such a depth. How did they know it was there?
I'm curious Tony...what's in the backpack...
Crackers
John Gator and his geophys.
Phil's hat!
His flashlight and I’ve seen him pull out books…
An 8 ball, condoms and a package of hotdogs. The necessities
At 11:38. why are there all thosse holes, like a golf ball?
Neolithic flint mine.
I mean on the serface. not down below>
how do ya date a dirt path?
You go up and say”hey baby what’s happenin?” If it says “you daddy” you take it to the show.

Why are you dressed like Forrest Gump?
And at 30:00 the documentary went from actual facts to superstitious fiction and made a mockery of itself by giving a charlatan airtime. For shame.
As with everything else in life, this is only ONE SIDE of a GUESS of what went on tens of thousands of years ago. We don't have BOTH SIDES of the story, do we!?!?!???
NONSENSE!WHO/WHAT IS THE OTHER SIDE?
Settle down bub
yeah we do just one side keeps changing there story and the other side doesn't get there's told the same way

They don't know how those things were dug. We need Christ to tell us these things. Amen. Nobody dug that out with deer antlers. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
So they left behind the worn antlers shaped to do the job heavy with the fingerprints in the clay embedded in their handles just to confuse us? What ever it is you are on please tell us, we need that high too!
Yeah. Sure. We’ll wait on Christ 😂
You need a rational mind.
