  • The Team descend on a tiny Cornish island that legend says was once visited by Jesus Christ. With such a claim to fame, the tiny chapel on Looe Island became a magnet for medieval pilgrims. Over three days the archaeologists try to get to the bottom of a story that could reveal some of the earliest evidence of Christianity in Britain.

    I loved Looe as a little London kid (6)whose Nan moved to Merrymeet near Liskeard in 1964. I caught my first fish a 12oz Plaice in the Looe River by where they weighed the Sharks and my Nan cooked it for my tea. I had my first Pastie and Cornish ice cream and Nan ( the best story teller ever) told me bedtime tales of smugglers, Cornish Piskies and how the wailing wind was Trelawney being chased by the Devil across Bodmin Moor😊 We would have our 2 week summer holiday and sometimes a week at Easter at Nans for the next 10 years. As a kid as soon as we crossed the Tamar on the long 8hr journey home then. I would sit in the back of the car quietly weeping having had such a magical time in such magical surroundings and wanting it to go on forever.😊

      It's such a shame that children nowadays will never be able to have the adventures and freedom we did.

      Very much my childhood memories but only as a holidaymaker. Mum and Dad would go there maybe every other year and did so for many years. Driving from Oxford took most of Saturday but Mum always had sarnies ready! I remember being dragged off to the little cinema by the bridge at Looe to watch 'The African Queen' (Humphrey Bogart) so it would have been in the mid '50s.
      Good old fashioned holidays where people just chilled out and demanded nothing.

You should understand that Native populations were decimated by illnesses carried by Spanish. The Mississippi River Valley was populated by quite large population centers. Florida was quite populated and even in Miami there has been pre Spanish settlements as some may offer yet they are actually population centers. By the time the English arrived, the great population centers had died off. French, Spanish and even some English explorers did report and write of the Native populations.

The tides and the wind and the storms made the sea so dangerous even the fishermen stayed in many days in a row, like from Christmas to Easter, and landing was fraught all the year.

    This had the first concrete hint that the three day limit is probably just for the major players that have high profile day jobs (and for the dose of reality show premise, of course). Naturally there would always have been a substantial weekday effort to return a site to its former state. But here we have Ian Powlesland (besides Phil, the only remaining field archaeologist from the original cast) remaining on the island beyond the three days. Maybe he was just staying late Sunday and catching the tide across the next day, but I speculate that if a site was interesting enough then work continued if people were available (holidays, vacations, summer breaks). It would certainly be a hell of a lot more relaxing after the three days. I imagine the final recording often spilled over into subsequent days as well. They probably didn't rebury some sites, but rather transitioned them to local archaeological supervision.

    33:54 I'm gonna argue with him there. "Going on pilgrimage" or "Going to Jerusalem" is completely unrelated to people making merry on these mini-pilgrimage parties.
    Young pregnant women would go away and hide out of sight from their neighbors, often at the home of a relative who could care for them until the baby was born (and possibly the baby itself, after, as well). They told people in the village that she had gone on pilgrimage, or gone to Jerusalem, or gone to see/stay with an aunt or cousin, because that was a good excuse to be gone long enough for the pregnancy and birth to be over without anybody in the village seeing the unmarried girl pregnant and knowing the baby is illegitimate. Then she could leave the baby with family, who will care for it, before returning home (or adopt it out, or do who knows what...), or bring it home and tell people that the baby was her cousin's, but the cousin died/fell ill/couldn't care for it and the 'pilgrim' agreed to take it in.
    Those phrases were said to _hide_ unmarried pregnancy and illegitimate children, _not_ to make fun of or throw back to sex on mini-pilgrimages. People didn't say those things _because_ women got pregnant on the island, and pregnant women didn't point to their bellies and say, "oh yeah I'm going on pilgrimage, lol!". The two phrases are simply not related in that way. Wouldn't you rather tell your devout Christian villagers (who may also be a bit superstitious) that you're a devout Christian young woman, so devout that you went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, than have them find out you banged some rando on an island and got knocked up?

    • @nicolacampbell5795

    Joseph of Arimathea is/was NOT Jesus' earthly Dad. Even though people might not believe the Bible, at least get it right.
    Mark 15: 42-47
    42) And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43) Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the Council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44) Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died. And summoning o the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. 45) And when he learned from o the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46) And Joseph bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and q laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47) Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
    Jesus' earthly Dad was from Galilee, and had to go to Bethlehem to register because the Roman Ruler demanded they go to the place of their Ancestry.
    Luke 2:1-4
    1) In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2) This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3) And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4) And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,....

      The problem Aimee is that you we would be expected to believe that the bible is a reliable source of history on this subject and the problem is that there is no evidence outside of the bible to conclude that.
      The bible makes no mention of Child jesus and his upbringing so you have no real historical basis to assume he didn't do anything with "(child) Jesus" or even that the story associated with the site is even true, It is after all just a story...

    • @edbadyt
      @edbadyt 6 років тому +3

      Aimee Brass It's just an English legend, it's not a bible story and is not "canon" to any of the alternative histories the bible offers. The Legend states that it was Jesus of Arimathea took the child Jesus to Cornwall and says nothing about his dad. Obviously it's all bollocks but middle eastern scholars made up all the other stories about Jesus so we must have thought we'd have a go.

    • @lawrences5288
      @lawrences5288 4 роки тому +2

      Inventing stories to 'fill in the gaps' (i.e. make yourself seem smarter or pawn off a fake relic as authentic) was a favorite game of medieval Christians, Jews, and Muslims - see Christian relics, midrash in the Talmud, and relics at the Topkapi palace. Brits wanted to make the place more attractive to pilgrims. Obviously a visit by Jesus would do it, and fortunately there are a lot of gaps in the story when Jesus was a youth. Obviously Joseph the carpenter was too poor to take the kid to a vacation in Cornwall. Joseph of Arimathea was wealthy. How did he get his money? Trade with Cornwall, obviously... (Obviously if you're a Glastonbury abbot trying to sell tickets to your religious theme park.) So he offered to babysit one summer and took the kid to Cornwall. In the 13th century there may have been a kiosk on the beach selling pebbles Jesus had walked on as a child.

    This was one of the oddest time team digs, for many reasons.
    They would not even date the prehistoric burials, nor the Roman coins, nor investigate the bodies in the Cists.It's clear they packed more information in at the last 3 minutes with the multiple ancient burials to muddy up everything, and not take away from the legacy of the church. Probably not what the trust wanted revealed, in order to maintain the christian history as the main focus of the Island.
