      I used to work with a heavy machine operator that could open a beer bottle with the bucket on his excavator. I'd be willing to bet that Ed could do the same. It takes an inordinate level of coordination and dexterity to work a machine as smoothly as he does.

    There's no reply button to Greg Barnes so I'm fairly certain that he won't see this, but Time Team has always written up their finds and continued the research past filming. In fact, there apparently are only five as of yet unpublished sites from all the Time Team excavations - which is an incredible feat unto itself. They've done incredible research and publication off camera from everything which they've done and have actually earned the grudging respect from many archaeologists who would hitherto grumble about their methods.
    I'm not sure about the status of this find, but I'm fairly certain it follows in the same footsteps of scholarly aptitude as all their others. :)

      @@wbrewer5352 The show died after the changes. Had 20 million viewers in 2006 at its height and still 1.1 million in season 18. The production was moved to Cardiff for season 19, in a political gesture aimed at building up regional television, Time Team was picked because it seemed a safe pair of hands. Jim describes this miscalculation as a ‘death blow’, which cost the show almost all of its behind the scenes staff. Expertise honed over 15 years was lost at a stroke, to be replaced by crew and production staff who knew neither each other nor archaeology.. " A number of archaeological old hands were sacrificed in favour of more youthful presenters. Disgusted, Mick walked out, explaining later ‘For some reason they didn’t think “oh, we’d better run that past Mick.” He’s the archaeological consultant, he might have an opinion about that’ (see CA 271). The changes proved too much, too fast, and viewing figures crashed to 700,000. "

      and talkin on a price in souther italy is all very cheap.. for have a cheap land in britain you need probably go in a far country side or at north.. we have nice territory, nice sea, very good food, and more close blood to the roman.. and is not rare have near by your location some big roman stuff.. i live at you one littel list of place to si whit google or see some photo..

      is a tipe of metod very talked.. you now of the "ship of Teseo"? is the same tipe of dilemma..
      teseo dilemma from italian wiki, translate whit google..:
      "It is said that the wooden ship on which the mythical Greek hero Teseo traveled was preserved intact over the years, replacing the parts that gradually deteriorated. Then came a time when all the parts originally used to build it had been replaced, although the ship itself retained exactly its original form. Thinking about this situation (the ship was completely replaced, but at the same time the ship remained Teseo's ship), the question that can be asked is: is Teseo's ship preserved or not? That is: is the entity (the ship), modified in substance but without variations in form, still the same entity? Or is it just like her?
      This question can easily be applied to countless other cases; for example to the scrupulous preservation of some ancient Japanese temples (also mainly made of wood, like the ship of Theseus), for which one can ask whether they are still original temples. One can also turn the paradox about the identity of our own person, which changes widely over the years, both in the substance that makes it up and in its form, but despite this it seems to remain that same person."

Then came time to leave the office stting yet have all these suitable clothes not past their prime. What I found was that on my dress shirts they were billowy enuf that if i sewed up the front to the first or second button i cud use them as night shirts, just n case i have 2 exit the house wearing what i wore in bed. Then friends who had grown in age and size and cud not do the same with their dress shirts gave them to me so I haven even more billowy nightshirt. A torn shirt? That fabric looks like a well worn blend of cotton and polyester. I stick 2 the 100 % cotton. He shud make that shirt n2 house rags rather than landfill dregs.

    Only 2 mins in and have been reminded already how this series got so disappointingly ruined. Mary-Ann!! What on earth were they thinking by bringing her into TT? The whole point of the show was that it encompassed an array of eccentric characters who were all so passionate about their different fields of expertise but yet gelled in a way that made viewing not only interesting and educational but fun to watch as well - no wonder the much-missed mighty Prof Aston shook his head in disgust and walked away from the show. And one last thought too, she really, really likes the multi-millionaire guy doesn't she? Can't imagine why ;)

      Conor Leeson. Your post almost suggests that you are totally ignorant of the fact that Mary Ann Ochota has a degree in anthopology and archaeology from Cambridge. She has also presented a number of science based productions. You also appear to be equally ignorant of the fact that Alex Langston has degrees in medieval archaeology and world archaeology from UCL. He is also an historian and has worked on several long term living history projects.

      @inapickle806 9 років тому +1

      Gerald Costlow They're not exactly later guesses- though they're not exactly paintings either. The engraving that was done for the first folio was likely done from a painting and Ben Jonson, who personally knew Shakespeare, said that it was a good likeness, so we can assume it's reflects pretty much what he looked like. The monument in the church at Stratford upon Avon was also done after death and the original paint which gave detail was removed at one time and then replaced, can also be assumed to be a pretty good likeness as his family would have commissioned that. Most likely, at least one of the portraits floating around that claim to be him, are indeed him.

  • @lameesahmad9166
    @lameesahmad9166 2 роки тому

    My curiosity was peaked at the similarity between the features of Edward de Vere and William Shakespeare's portraits. Having seen documentaries about forensic science I tried a bit of sloothing by looking at their ears in their portraits. Both gentlemen had a lot of portraits commissioned during their lifetime and comparing their ears one can clearly see that their ears were considerably different. Of course these portraits are not photographs and we cannot determine that they are accurate portrayals of their ears but if they are they were distinctly different. According to forensic science each and every person's ears are as individual as their finger prints. Taking this observation in mind there can be no doubt about the authenticity of these portraits being of different people; no matter how similar their facial features appeared.
