Fascinating Finds From BBC History Documentaries | BBC Timestamp

Which of these remarkable discoveries is your favourite find?

As a fashion historian, history is ingrained into my soul. It feeds the nervous system and helps to calm with nostalgia!

I'm sorry, but a sword is a weapon...only an idiot would think one is for show

All these devices should go through a code verification before it can be sold.

The programming of the BBC is a national treasure.

Somebody was amazed the other day when I showed them my house and they thought I built it by hand. With copper tools. I had to explain I had found it and moved in. Put my name on the door. They were confused.

Great stuff, thanks.

Watch Digging for Britain with Dr (sexgod) Alice, a brilliant show.

My, what big eye sockets you have.

Hence the name Britain (Bri Tin) That's what I heard. Tin is generally scarce compared to copper.

Neanderthal reparations now!

Upon reaching highly critical population levels for available resources, and at the same time aquire more terroritory for themselves Homosapians massacred the Neanderthals to extinction. There may have been some mixing early on, but that quickly disappeared as Homosapian populations exploded rapidly. This is just my opinion.

I just ran across this on my recommended videos and it’s fantastic. I’ve seen two of my favorite people,Alice and Caroline . What shows are these clips from? I don’t recognize any of them but they all look like wonderful shows.

I think we're looking at children's toys, dolls, possibly a lunar calendar, or calendar of some kind (maybe tracking menstruation, birth and seasons), and regular everyday beads. They had a lot of time in the darkness of winter and were clearly skilled and extremely creative. Conserve energy, make some beautiful and useful things and above all keep the kids busy!! I believe these people spent the majority of their winter time creating. They were not desperate, but innovative, creative and clearly in command of their environment. It's unfortunate that the only story we seem to accept is one of a people in near desperation, starvation and with only very basic ideas of survival possible in their primitive minds. I think that is how WE would feel transported back to their time: completely out of our depth and unable to cope. We would not be here if they were not incredibly resourceful and successful!!!

I could listen to that woman talk about "Pawts" for eternity

What the hell do we know about any fighting and injuries in the past baste on our weak present humans.we are nothing compared to the real hardships and dangers of the past.
We are just guessing with a littlest of information .
We could never even imagine how hard everything was then.we can only guess.
Fat belly professional men telling us how it was is an insult to the past peoples who are so differently able to survive in awfully difficult circumstances.
It’s all thinkers based on guesswork.
Which is fine but we are learning constantly how incredibly incorrect we are

alice 🤤

Treasures of Ancient Greece. I call him my Michael Sky.

So surreal and gorgeous cute

The best thing about this programme is you get to hear the utter nonsense from so called historians

Wows!.😊

Dr Alice has it all!!

That reconstruction of the temple of Ra is so unnecessarily, stupidly beautiful… to the CGI team who created it - thank you 🙂‍↕️

An interesting and satisfying compilation of past documentaries. thank you.

I prefer the underwater works, as it may help us come to terms with our near future.
