      Many Roman mines were dug by prisoners and slaves. There was a copper mine the Romans had in the Middle East, the fumes from the Roman technique of building and quenching fires against the rock faces within the mine released dangerous fumes due to arsenic in the copper ore, the average life span of the miners after they began at the mine was estimated to be three weeks. The prisoners sentenced to the mines had an eye put out and the tendons behind the knee severed so they could not run from the guards (but they could still crawl in the mine).
      Huge human suffering was part of the Roman mining process. So many slaves died in the Roman mines that sentencing to the mines became common for lesser and lesser offenses as time progressed. I am glad I did not live there during that era of the late Roman Empire, when the Empire was struggling economically and needed what the mines produced so badly. Life became too cheap as a result.

Beautiful green country with beautiful rapid streams and heavily flowing rivers, and pretty green foliage everywhere. I got around to many places in the world during my time in the U.S. Navy, but my ten days in Ireland twenty years later brought me to the most beautiful place on Earth. Such a pretty country!!!

    Depending on when that was made, it may have actually been roomy because the people from the Middle Ages were a lot smaller due to lack of nutrition. From the dawn of agriculture, humans shrunk down because they lived predominantly on grains, which are less nutrient dense, so their bodies compensated by getting smaller. A normal size man would only be about 5’2” and in some regions they were even smaller, not even reaching 5’.
    Hunter/Gatherers were much larger, about as large as modern humans because of their nutrient dense diet. People that consumed more dairy were the largest and their genes are still passed to their descendants, which is why Swedes are some of the largest people on earth as are certain African tribes, like the Maasai. Men of the Maasai can be over 7’ tall today because they still practice heavy dairy consumption, drinking the milk from many different animals.

      @RoarOfWolverine 3 роки тому +6

      @@r3conwoo it could probably help a little, because milk does have growth hormones for the calf to grow big and strong, but to achieve the size of the Swedes or the Maasai it would take generations of milk drinking, unfortunately.
      The Maasai tribe average height for men is about 6’3”. That’s a very tall average, since many Maasai men are over 7’ tall. Funny thing about the Maasai is that they eat mostly meat and drink milk from many animals, but studies have shown that they have one of the lowest incidents of heart disease or atherosclerosis. This is because all of their livestock are raised on grass, not grains, which shift their fat ratio to have a much higher omega 3 fatty acid levels, comparable to cold water fish.
      That’s because grass is the natural diet of ruminant animals (multiple stomachs). Grains have no omega 3 fatty acids, so it causes the animal to only produce omega 6 fatty acids (the only fat plants produce). Omega 6 fatty acids are inflammatory to mammals, being a free radical. We are designed to handle a certain level of n6 fatty acids, but we prefer omega 3 because they’re anti-inflammatory.
      This is why my wife and I raise our own cattle and they are only grass finished, no grain. Yes, their meat has less fat in it, but the fat in it is far healthier. The butchers we use have told me that they can smell the difference between a grass finished meat from a grain finished one. You can smell a clear difference and the color is much different. Hamburger, roasts and steaks from those cattle has more of a burgundy color, leaning a bit more purple.
      Grain finished meat has little color at all which is why the butchers dip cuts of meat into buckets of blood before packing and even use food coloring to get that bright red color.
      Even worse are fish that are farm raised. Salmon, tilapia and catfish are basically grey as are shell fish, like lobsters, crabs and shrimp. The trick is to add colors and chemicals into their food to change their meat that color.
      If you were to hold a real salmon steak, caught from a cold water stream next to a farm raised steak, the colors wouldn’t match at all. That salmon coloring is too orange compared to the real thing.
      It’s difficult to get real food these days. Everything is farm raised, which means corn fed, including the fish. Fish are not naturally corn eaters?
      Without processing the grains, fish wouldn’t even be able to digest corn. The same is true with livestock. Cattle and sheep are grass digesters, not designed for grains that make them sick (acidosis) and they need antibiotics. It crazy. No wonder we’re all sick?

      Bullocks. The height of the Maasai people is primarily due to the climate in which they live. How does your theory account for most hunter gather peoples of today being diminutive in stature? Take the Pigmy people as a perfect example. Reality is closer to the exact opposite of what you claim.

    I would love to know where this is. I love exploring hidden caves like this and been to a few in Wales. I understand the need to keep these places secret as to preserve them and to respect the history. I have seen what can happen when folk find out about these secret abandoned places like the car graveyard in Gwynedd - people have trashed the place. It really annoys me that people vandalise these places and ruin for other people.

    The older the level is, the steeper the floor... likely because it's easier to chisel a little bit higher than on the floor in front of you. Hauling out gets easier too if you're walking it, using sledges, or wheels that haven't got very good bearings (wooden axles and pillows, crudely blacksmithed parts, etc.)
