I’m surprised (but also grateful) that they didn’t mention that whole “evil spirits” thing associated with Bartmann Jugs. Putting urine and pins and hair and other mad stuff into one and after sealing it up, placing it under the threshold floorboards, or seal it into a wall cavity or something like that as a “method” for warding off all of the evil spirits and/or bad juju. 😂 Finding a fully intact jug is amazing and would have been so exciting for them. On the Thames foreshore people find fragments of Bartmann jugs. If they are lucky, they find a fragment containing the face of the bearded man. They are also called Bellarmine Jugs, named after Cardinal Bellarmine because they used his face. Anyway, it’s a fascinating history if you’ve not read about it before 🙂
This video is from 2010. That's 14 years ago! I can only imagine what's been discovered since 2010, in London. In 2004, I discovered "The Windmill Pub" off of Regent's Street in London.....they serve BEST FISH'N'CHIPS in the World! That's MY Discovery, in addition to my own Authentic Tudor DNA. I guess I, myself, am a Tudor Relic...of sorts.👵🤣
From what I heard from other shows over there, they kinda have to. You got to remember that there is 1000s of years of history and archaeology all over there. If they never built anything whenever they found archaeological evidence, there won’t be anything new built
Whether it's a Theatre or a Roman villa. Re burying them actually keeps them safe. We have many historical sights that get trampled on by millions of tourists feet, fingers pick and poke, rubbish is strewn. It's often the best thing to "save and preserve" our history.
Not to mention, the entirety of the island of the UK can fit in almost two states of the US. There's just not much space for anything else besides building on some random person's field, which also probably has something of historical significance. Often times they'll honor what was there before with a plaque, maybe some small artifacts if they're getting real fancy. It's always sad to hear though
I know, right? Gosh, theres barely anything left of anything in the past as it is. Just as we have the opportunity to explore more it gets ripped away!😢
It was the Kemptons of London, who were intimately connected with William Shakespeare. It was SIr Edward Kempton of the Black Boy upon Wallbrook, who made the stage costumes (and dress apparel) for Shakespeare (as Shakespeare records in his own diary notes). This same Sir Edward protected the last martyr under Queen Mary (Foxe's Book of Martyrs).
Even as a young girl I, really dug programs about archeology... and have "inherited" a pernicious penchant for making really bad puns... and abominable alliterations.

Such a rich history. They're practically tripping over artifacts. I love how the UK cherish their history. I think any history and artifacts found in our country (usa) would be nothing but controversial given how partisan we are.
Before I watch any further I have a slight beef, I am Lutheran, so you think taking the wealth from the rich Catholic monasteries and churches and spreading it out to the people was a bad thing? BTW, I love your archeology and watch every show, documentary, and lecture I can see. You are passionate in everything you do. So this is not a disrespectful question.
I think people tend to forget how powerful, manipulative, and wealthy the Catholic Church was( is?) they were pretty shady, so from that context the Catholic Church was definitely corrupt and awful
How much of the wealth garnered by the churches and Abbeys do you think went to the people? Most of the theft of donated wealth went directly into the coffers of the King and the nobles. Much of that was further squandered in wars against France and Scotland. The people lost their churches, their Holidays with the dances, celebrations, etc, as well as those who bought their Wool, provided them with jobs and healthcare. As a Lutheran I expect you are aware of the charity that the Calvinists, Lutherans, etc provided the poor of England.
I literally went out of my way NOT to read Romeo and Juliet. I hated Romeo and Juliet. I actually ended up wanting to stab Romeo myself... I was always more of a McBeth guy.
@@Girl_In_The_Forest92-2 I think that, if they were being honest with themselves, most people would say that they prefer McBeth. It's like Shakespeare's answer to modern films that have loads of mindless violence, for no apparent reason whatsoever, where everyone dies by the end of the film.
Plays are meant to be performed for an audience. In high school, I was made to read "Romeo and Juliet" when I could have watched Zeffirelli's movie. Totally daft.
In fairness Columbus didn't know it was there thus he did 'discover' it. Native Americans, Vikings, Chinese, and (allegedly) the Welsh, got there before him but no-one is Europe really knew the Americas were there.
Columbus made America known to Europe so he basically did discover it. Also not once in Columbus’s entire life did he claim to have discovered new land. In fact he denied the prospect entirely
some of the most bs conjecture i've ever heard in many parts of this. were all of the archaeologists representative of academia? shoot a long bow once a week from the age of 7? more so if one was good at it? that woman has zero concept of archery. i'd like to know what type of soft stone was used in the building of the inside of the main gate of the abbey to be in such a rubble state. why would such a low quality stone be used in the construction of what was once a garish display of opulence? what position of an archway would that stone have been to be rubbed for luck as people passed by on a daily basis? sure didn't look like anything that would have eventually been polished to a degree from such behavior, or am i to believe that the stone was damaged in the destruction of the abbey or perhaps eroded as it became buried over time. especially since the building became the quarry for the gentry house. speaking of repurposing the stone by using the abbey as a quarry, that isn't a sign of the birth of capitalism as that kind of thing has happened since ancient times all over the world. honestly, a lot of statements made based on so little sound like pure mental guesswork fantasies. smh ✌️🐝➕
@@AnnaAnna-uc2ff why do you ask? am i to presume that in your education that a 7yr old could ever be able to even draw a longbow, let alone have a chance to be good at to then shoot more than one arrow a week without having to gain such archery skills through practice, coaching, and repetition by first using a shortbow? am i to then be as presumptuous as your question to assume your common sense has been corrupted by your gullibility into swallowing so much similar academic BS that you regurgitate in kind as some twisted belief as factual truth? ✌️🐝➕

Thanks for this information! Really interesting. 👍
Yay! New Tudor video! 🍿🥤🎉
Beautiful Documentary
My ears perked up when you mentioned Sir Thomas Gresham. That is my maiden name and Sir Thomas is my 10th great grandfather.
Wonderful video, fascinating information presented in a great format.

Why would you cover the theater? It's of historical significance!

WAR IS EVIL
Agreed; when William Tecumseh Sherman said "War is Hell" he was speaking from bitter experience.
Also those countries who seek to cause it ... wonder which country does?
Why do Tudor houses look a lot like German houses.?
No one wants to make large impressive floors anymore💀
