      I live in the US, but I love this show. There is some archeology where I live, but it presents a very bleak picture of the people that lived here. Whenever we excavate we find boiled human bones. I don't mean just a few. The natives ate each other in prodigious numbers, and we are not allowed to publish these findings. The 'Smithsonian' magazine published such findings in the late 90's, and the woke crowd had an absolute cow rampage. I want so much to disclose to the world that the American natives were not noble savages, but just disgusting savage that it is unthinkable the habits they had.

      @@MegaMeaty They were probably eating those who died from starvation after the US government forced them to live on reservations away from their traditional food sources, then sold them rotten meat & bad grain. Or perhaps it was from a couple of hundred years earlier when native populations crashed through exposure to new diseases (thus destroying any kind of fledgling agrarian infrastructure & leaving the few survivors desperate & starved) Or are those verifiable historical facts "woke" to you too?
      It's also absolutely tragic that you use the new BS term "woke crowd" (no doubt taught to you in the last 18 months or so by the right wing media who are playing you like a puppet) about people's responses to something that happened 25 years ago.
      You say that "you" are not allowed to publish such findings, then in the same sentence you say that the Smithsonian published the findings. Well, which is it? It can't be both. (And who are the "you" who aren't allowed to publish them?)
      Regarding the archaeology of the American First Nation tribes - try looking into the history of the Mound People, or the Pueblos, or the advances made in agriculture made by the Mezzo-Americans.
      No doubt you'll claim they all boiled each other too, because prejudice is what prejudice does... We see you, we see what you are & we are sick of you.

    • @Libbathegreat
      @Libbathegreat 2 роки тому +6

      Edit: They said that in this case most of the masonry was sold off when the castle was demolished in 1650.
      You sometimes can trace where the stone's been carried off to if you have good in situ examples to compare with. Most of it doesn't go far, usually incorporated into later walls or basements in the surrounding town. But they might not be visible as they're all covered up with plaster. Sometimes the local city fathers "salvaged" the stone for public works such as dikes or retaining walls. There's one TT episode (can't remember which) in which they found an old auction catalogue showing that a Georgian palace had been sold off piece by piece (down to the wallpaper!) to settle the family's debts.

      @paintedpilgrim 2 роки тому +7

      The only issue with that is there is very little open ground in the area that is now occupied by the famous hotel and theatre. The open ground/garden adjacent to the Savoy Chapel would be the only place to dig, and no doubt also has restrictions given burials and utilities. In saying that though, its likely if any building is demolished in the area then archaeological work will be done (as is pretty common in London) before anything new is constructed.

    When Aragorn uses his sword to slap away the knife thrown by the big bad guy, that was real and improvised. The stunt guy accidentally threw the knife too close to Viggo Mortensen ‘s face, and Viggo/Aragorn had been practicing so much with the sword that he was able to knock the knife right out of the air.
    He lost a tooth shooting that fight. And broke two toes in the next film, The Two Towers.
    There’s a great story about Sean Bean / Boromir. He has a fear of helicopters, and they were taking a helicopter every day up to a high ridge where they were filming. One day Sean Bean said he wouldn’t get in the helicopter again but he’d meet them on the mountain. He started hiking and climbing while it was still dark, and arrived on foot as the others were flying in.

    It would be interesting to do an episode on some aspect of the fortress of Montreal. The French fortified both Quebec City and Montreal. However, in the 1800's the walls around Montreal were torn down to make way for commerce. Sadly, tourism had not yet taken off.

    It’s amazing how much damage the Roundheads did in such a short time. Nearly as much damage as Henry VIII inflicted on the monasteries.

    • @paintedpilgrim
      @paintedpilgrim 2 роки тому +4

      I think a lot of the time it depends, where they have been called in to assist others, there will be other works continuing once TT leave. What frequently happens is that many digs especially those linked to Universities is that they continue for years sometimes decades over the period of a few weeks each summer, and those that happen in urban centres are often refilled quite quickly or in the case of the only 4 day dig in TT history (in Coventry) the surrounding area was demolished whilst protecting the in situ finds which can be visited today.

    I do so appreciate what time team does, it's not just UK history, but also how to perform archeology. Could time team do a history of the British language? I'd like to know why y'all put an extra "r" at the end of words. I'm fascinated by histories of languages. Thanks for keeping history alive!!!!

    I used to love this show and this is the first time I have watched it in a very long time. Maybe my attitude will change watching this now I'm a bit older but I remember them doing digs and they'd find maybe one side of a wall and a lot of stones and some coins and then they would do a computer enhancement of what they had uncovered and it would be this huge village or a massive church. I always found that a bit wishy washy and like they just made it up as they went along lol

    *The Architectural Expert, Johnathon,* @ 35:15 --> (with Stewart, who is one of my favorites on "Time Team"), has made a variety of premier excellent contributions to each of the shows I've seen him involved with. He's exceptionally intelligent and we'll studied in his field.
    It can't escape the viewers that he is also a most attractive man, and that at "the Cary Grant level".
    Definitely an individual that a Producer would recognize as a "hands down value", I also would imagine they would have him on the short list of "Top Choices" for any potential further "Time Team" Productions.
    ...and we all desire that to happen, and soon.

    I wonder if Fort Darnet, close by on a little island (Darnet Island?) in the river Medway, was designed based on this castle? It’s only 1 tier, so just ground level but it’s circular with rounded turrets all around the exterior.

  • @stuartlydes-uings1876
    @stuartlydes-uings1876 3 роки тому +7

    This castle no doubt influenced the design of both Walmer and Deal castles which were built the best part of 200 years later!

    • @maxsdad538
      @maxsdad538 3 роки тому +3

      Sorry, no. Artillery forts predated Queensborough by at least a century. Beaumaris (almost identical to Queensborough) was constructed around 1280, and fortification of castles during the early 1300's through defensive towers and crenellation was widespread throughout Europe.

    • @georgedorn1022
      @georgedorn1022 2 роки тому

      @@maxsdad538 Beaumaris (constructed from 1295) is not really 'almost identical' to Queenborough - both are concentric designs with round towers, common to many similar structures of this era. They are similar inasmuch as most castles of this period are similar.
      Queenborough was circular in plan whereas Beaumaris is sub-rectangular. The curtain wall at Queenborough featured only two towers, either side of the main gate; Beaumaris has twelve towers as well as the sea and north gates, essentially adding another four towers. Both castles' inner wards had six towers but the two gatehouses at Beaumaris effectively increased this number to ten. Oliver Creighton, the castles expert in this episode, states that the castle most similar to Beaumaris is Harlech.
