Ahh I love the set up here in the back ground with the furs on the ground a fire quickly burning away.. the birds singing in the distance. There’s something about watching flint mapping. As the hand axe come to life it’s almost like magic. The past is speaking to us all the time and it’s people like you that tell us the story beautifully through your craft.
number 3 and counting, many more on the way...great work WILL... Just makes me think...for all ancient man wasn't, he was amazing and resourcefull. this journey really is a insight as to how intelligent ancient man was. Gives a new meaning to "something from nothing"..... Enjoying the journey Will 😀
Will another Stellar video, I really enjoy how you speak of all the info given on each tool by who made them & etc.. great work, bringing it to a whole new level best wishes mate
Did you ever try making a soft hammer from hard wood? I was just wondering if you really needed an antler or could feasibly take something else instead. I'm really impressed by your level of mastery in flint knapping! Doesn't look anywhere near that, when I give it a try.
Its so nice for someone not be able to explain for certain what something was used for without turning to- "an offering to the gods" or "religious purposes". why not make an educated guess such as a possible weapon? you make sense and as youve said before in other videos this flint was a precious resource, so throwing bits of it away in the ridiculous way other experts say they did makes a mockery of the history, your content is amazing, and your skills are just sublime, "god" has given you a special gift, thanks for sharing with us all
Why would they think he was crazy for believing the stone tools were made by ancient people, when by then Europe had already started interacting with the American Natives who used similarly made stone tools?
again, your basic flint/quartz hammerstone, along with a soft hammer and a small tined antler for pressure flaking. It isn't the tools, its a modern man unable to do what his 2.5 million year old 'backwards' ancestors could
I wonder. Would the original makers of the handaxe, Homo Erectus or otherwise, would they have used such specific tools as cobble stones, and multiple different sized antlers to make their weapons? Or do you guys think they might have kinda winged it? I ask because they were premodern. So I assume they didn’t have as an elaborate thought process as either we or Neanderthals did.
the hand axe could have been used not only as a weapon. but also it could have been used to cut down small trees. by the way about your antler softhammer the needs to be smoothen out. 👍
350,000 years ? Earth itself isn't more than 20,000 give or take, carbon dating is only reliable up to 50,000 years, and there's no one who is 50,000 years old to even verify those facts! Before we split from the British Empire, back when Britain was called Britanica, before even the Hadrian's Wall (in 1987 Hadrian’s Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.), we were barbarians, not much different from the Goths, Vandals, Huns, Druids, Vikings, etc As far as my initial point, if God can create a fully grown man in the Garden of Eden, He's more than capable of creating a billion year old planet in 6 days, and resting on the 7th; But people claim God doesn't exist, because they have conflict with the Bible, and accepting Jesus Christ, and His commandment to love Him, and love thy neighbor as thyself. It is written, "God is love! He who lives in love, lives in God, and God in he!", but people prefer the old ways, serving the false gods that have no eyes, have no voice, must be transported, and can be destroyed as easily as can be reconstructed. People find a romanticism, in how we imagine our ancestors must have lived, and having been oppressed for so long to the point to where our lives have become meaningless working for those that would enslave and control us... So much I would like to say, but I don't want to take up your time... Consider King Solomon, and if you have time, really try to understand what this Great King was trying to relay in his book Ecclesiastes, which is in the Bible, a book in which he pondered the meaning of life, in the end, he came to the conclusion that all is vanity... The rich man dies the same as the poor man, the wise man the same as the fool, what is done, is that which has been done, there is nothing new under the sun... King Solomon goes on to say, Whatsoever you do, do it heartily unto the Lord, and not unto men, for in hell there is no wisdom, and we will all be judged that which we do! There is no remembrance of former things, nor of things to come, by those who shall come after; The dead know nothing, and no longer have an inheritance of anything done under the sun! Eat drink, and be merry, and seek after the Lord always.
lol druids WERE in brittain -.- UK was like the druid university. People came from all over the celtic influenced world (roughly today's EU) to train here for approx 20 years before returning home as fully-fledged druids/shamans etc, serving their people. NONE of those cultures u mention were barbarians! the 'vikings' (not a noun, but a verb btw) certainly wrote with runes. (interesting to me is that the romans called those north of them barbarians because they had alot of 'bah' sounds in their language) Oh n also according to romans, wearing trousers =barbarian i.e. those who came up with the name ... do you wear jeans? Maybe u think those farming-based cultures are barbarian? well ud be right .. look at what our 'progressive n advanced' christian based culture has done to mess up our planet. Sounds like solomon was a semi-nihilistic hedonist (teasing) XD My beef with u is u dont know ur history n u judge civilised cultures as barbarian (plus being evangelical re bible) n i KNOW u havent looked into those cultures properly for yourself. History is written by the winners n much propaganda to justify their actions, thus painting other peoples as barbarians, who eat children etc etc. You'd not have written what u did if u had looked into those cultures properly. MUCH new evidence has come out last 20yrs n ur sticking to the old paradigm Have you ever looked into how agriculture drives wars? EVERY war is really a resource war .. for space, water, power, slaves, women etc. The concept of ownership wasnt created until agriculture. Hence cain n abel to me, seems to depict the strife between farmers and hunter-gatherers' different cultures. The agricultural one that we both stem from (via christian memes dominating europe b4 colonisation) had the audacity n arrogance to 'own' a part of god's creation. They didnt nurture, nor care for it. They used it for their selfish demands, denying n killing off other animals to this day. Causing soil infertility, war and animal extinctions. All because of agriculture. You should really look into the many reasons why agriculture was terrible for humans on an individual level. Like today, only a handful benefited. the rest traded their health and their teeth Do you really think that a culture (ours) that goes about knowingly destroying it's own habitat for shiny bits of metal n green paper is less barbarian than a hunter-gatherer culture that for all it's faults, lives in homeostasis with the rest of the world?
Christians are lost little sheep with their heads buried in the sand. I hope you see reason before the end but I have little faith in Christians anymore. Go on and believe in lies, while I thank the more sensible side of humanity that you've lost your political power. Can't burn this 🔥✌
@Harold McBroom "350,000 years ? Earth itself isn't more than 20,000 give or take" The Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. "carbon dating is only reliable up to 50,000 years" There's lot more ways to date than carbon dating. And the estimation of The Earth isn't based on carbon dating. And there's lot of things that have been carbon dated to be lot older than 20000 years from Earth, even based on your limited information, you already have been disproved.

Your mastery of these forgotten skills and your grasp of history and our ancestors' place in it is a treasure!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge brother it’s helped me in my own style of knapping . The close up shots are brilliant.!!!
cheers for bringing camera closer to your work. brilliant
another excellent video,it's very exciting to see the evolutionary steps of our forbears stone tools,looking forward to the next post.
Wonderful. Thank you for all the information and commentary as you work - it helps me think more thoroughly about these tools.
Appreciate the close up camera work. Really let me see what you were doing. Thank you.
Fantastic Will !
I'm really enjoying that flint piece and all the tools your creating with it.
These are getting better and better
Well done Will that looked quite a fine piece of work in the end:) Glad the tip didn't snap off.
Sandy
Will another Stellar video, I really enjoy how you speak of all the info given on each tool by who made them & etc.. great work, bringing it to a whole new level
best wishes mate
A lot of skill there great work!
Truly an artist

Who would dislike this and why?
Your very good at making stone tools
I wish I had flint around here
Its so nice for someone not be able to explain for certain what something was used for without turning to- "an offering to the gods" or "religious purposes". why not make an educated guess such as a possible weapon? you make sense and as youve said before in other videos this flint was a precious resource, so throwing bits of it away in the ridiculous way other experts say they did makes a mockery of the history, your content is amazing, and your skills are just sublime, "god" has given you a special gift, thanks for sharing with us all
Beautiful my old friend 👍
Fantastic video once again!
Why would they think he was crazy for believing the stone tools were made by ancient people, when by then Europe had already started interacting with the American Natives who used similarly made stone tools?
its interesting to see how they made weapons before they knew how to haft things on shafts. Anyway as always great video.
Will makes all these amazing axes, meanwhile i come out of a flint knapping session with a sore leg, cut up hands, and a crudely made end scraper
Just ordinary flint, some black, some grey
again, your basic flint/quartz hammerstone, along with a soft hammer and a small tined antler for pressure flaking. It isn't the tools, its a modern man unable to do what his 2.5 million year old 'backwards' ancestors could
worth a shot, will do
will I do believe you had a buzz on here, cheers mate
I found a small hand axe in 23... everyone including the Dublin Museum discredited it.
How did Homoerectus Survive so far north wouldn’t they get hypothermia since they Hadn’t invented clothes yet?
alternatively, the point was due to resharpening the original. If it shows signs of that, of course. Delightful
Cool thanks mate
Could we possibly see a seven inch flint blade with deer antler handle😁
I will see what I can do cheers for asking
@@WillLordPrehistoricSurvival I love you mate
Nice job man
great work
I wonder. Would the original makers of the handaxe, Homo Erectus or otherwise, would they have used such specific tools as cobble stones, and multiple different sized antlers to make their weapons? Or do you guys think they might have kinda winged it?
I ask because they were premodern. So I assume they didn’t have as an elaborate thought process as either we or Neanderthals did.
Where do you get those huge blocks of obsidian
Gavin Birch it’s flint mate 👍
Will Lord Prehistoric Survival thank you. Have a nice day.
They probably weren’t use weapons because spears have a far greater reach advantage than a Hand-axe
Very cool
the hand axe could have been used not only as a weapon. but also it could have been used to cut down small trees. by the way about your antler softhammer the needs to be smoothen out. 👍
excellent
The bigger they r the more they cost....prob bout a 400bdollar arrow head....ezy.....
i dont know how historically accurate my guess is but that looks like a spearhead to me.
weapon tool
We are neanderthals
Earth isn't even that old
