Rather brilliant in the first part. As for the second part I don’t think it makes them dumb. Just something they didn’t know and happened to be wrong about.

Shame they didn't have any Asian actors, I would've loved to see one of these about the Chinese and their astrological achievements. And I'm sure there's something silly from Chinese mythology they could've picked out for the second part.
@Din Ding Not really, there are lots of historical eras he never got around to covering - we don’t really hear much about Africa in these, or India, or lots of other countries - but so what? Someone else could have just done that. And he does talk about some of the Asian historical eras in other books, but for the most part he was clearly writing about what he knew most about!
I think they are mixing two different eras here. The first one, which is the most scientific one, is from the Christian era which came later while the first one, which is the most superstitious one, is from the Pagan era.
Anglo-saxons were pagan and Christians, On the Reckoning of Time (De temporum ratione) by St Bede is mentioned in the video that's where the information is from and even if it is a pagan superstition it doesn't mean it wasn't still practiced in the more Christian times. For example household gods were common in the UK well into the 17th century and that's not Christian at all.
@@Alex-cw3rz Yeah I sort of agree with the basics of What you are saying. Looking back I see that my statement needs an adjustment. The more ‘’superstitious’’ things mentioned could have been common folk lore belief, and believed by Christian Anglo-Saxons. However the Church that produced the works like the Reckoning of Time dismissed such stories as superstitious and pagan. The video is sort mixing two different groups in society.
Please say that Brian Cox has seen this.
1:28 "Comets are dragons!"
Imagine Hagrid's reaction to that.
I'm a surprisingly handsome saxon scientist... haha.
Taking off Brian Cox, hilarious!
weird to us, but to them perfectly normal. "it's anglo-saxon scientific faaaact!" lolool.

I'd be fine with anyone not knowing something, the problem comes in the fact that they just invented something with little to no evidence for it.

Medieval science: Ancient Greek science only you smell worse.

I don’t think Terry Deary wrote anything about China.

Sir Nils Olav a lot of pagan beliefs still persisted after they converted
Completely and utterly wrong
You need to re-read your comment.
