I went to see a dagger in the Pitt Rivers Museum and was so amazed by the place and everything in it, I decided to make a video about the collection. It is an absolutely amazing place and whether you are 5 or 105 it is just not possible to get bored - there really is something for everyone; especially me.
The collection was given to Oxford University by Pitt-Rivers in 1884 and consists of archaeological, anthropological and ethnographic items grouped as similar objects regardless of culture. As a military man he collected a lot of weapons from every culture and time period and so the top floor is just heaven.

I'd rather just Tod goes and film on his own rather than as part of some network, but I agree to the point that he should be compensated for the content he provides so if any production companies want to back him doing things his way I'll watch as many museum videos that he cares to make.

@foldionepapyrus3441 10 ай бұрын

I would be more interested in seeing Tod get access to the backrooms and not public museum collections - the museum we can visit ourselves, in many cases without even having to travel at all you can find so much about their objects - with so much of the more public accessible collections being digitally documented in some fashion. Not saying that digital snooping isn't still lots of work, but the not open to the general public collections are likely to have some real gems in them that are possibly even entirely unknown to the internet. Seems like Tod knows enough to be informative, likes to ferret around looking at everything and most importantly knows what he doesn't know and at least some of right experts to consult.

Let me tell you as a curator who has been to lots of exhibitions, I have rarely seen such an old fashioned exhibition at a museum this big and I have never seen an exhibition so full with wonderful objects. Presenting objects from different times and places together as groups defined by function is actually a very refreshing and educationally useful approach. Many ethnographic and archaeological museums present objects of one time and place together and then fail to educate the public about their function, treating them instead as art for art's sake. Thanks for making this treasure vault known to me. Will spend a day there next time I'm in England.

I love old-fashioned museums that group related items together, preferably with a bit of descriptive text that explains when/where they were made and how they operate. And if that means a whole wall of old guns or swords, that's great. The Pitt-Rivers would be just my thing. I really couldn't give a stuff about their social relevance or their cultural significance. But then I'm an engineer so probably anti-social.

Hi Tod - At time mark 3:15 you briefly mentioned an American revolver it that case of dual-purpose weapons. The reason it is there is it is a LeMat revolver. While used during the Civil War in the US, it is actually of French origin. There were several versions of the LeMat built, but the common thread was it's dual-purpose design. The outer portion of the revolver's cylinder is pretty conventional, with chambers of .36 or .42 caliber. However, rather than having a simple pin to act as the axle about which the cylinder turns, the center is a shotgun. I think these shotgun, or grapeshot, barrels were mostly 20 gauge. Not a lot of LeMats were made, perhaps less than 3,000 of all variants.

@@40watt_club Normally chainmail is worn so the links hang and close up together, so they present a smoother rounded surface, and naturally shrink to fit the wearer. Rotate mail by 90 degrees, and it hangs open, presenting edges which are more easily shorn off and presents a less dense layer, so offers less protection. I made some LARP mail and jointed it with four seams so the chest and back hung closed, but so did the arms, and it was one piece.

@manfredconnor3194 10 ай бұрын

@09:48 I think you mean a "Wurfbeil", which translated to English simply means "thrown axe" or "throwing axe." Apparently, they are first mentioned as being used by the Hussites in the late 14th or early 15th century. They were essentially just an all metal throwing axe without a wooden shaft. The end of the handle was pointy and there was a point projecting 180° from the axe blade as well as a spike protecting at a 90° angle from the axe blade, so that you had spikey points projecting in three directions and the axe blade in a fourth direction. These weapons were typically crudely/practically/functionally made as you were going to throw the damned thing away anyway. That is why there is no wooden shaft on it. They were essentially just a beaten sharpened piece of steel that one could throw. They were often equipped with a belt hook for easy carrying. Their grip was quite short ensuring ease of rotation, when thrown. They were primarily used as thrown weapons, but also as tools and in a pinch as close combat weapons. Apparently, they appear in paintings by Albrecht Dürer. Who depicts them with various shapes and also with wooden shafts. Fredrich Albrecht von Zollern is also depicted in a famous painting throwing such a weapon in a tournament vs. Maximillian I. The English term is the "hurlbat" or "hurling hatchet", but these terms were historically attributed to "batting gloves" or "batting straps" which actually referred to ancient cesti (cestus). Nowadays they term is often used to refer to the throwing cross or "Wurfkreuz", which is in essence the same weapon. To me, it has always been a puzzle why the African throwing irons have such odd shapes? I have never held one in the hand and would love to see if they are well balanced and if all those projections really make sense. Certainly, they would add more mass and more mass would translate into more momentum. They certainly look like good choppers, but how effective are they? Do those projections really make sense? Were they carefully designed and planned? Or was there some other reason for them? kampfsportmuseum.de/2022/12/09/kuriose-waffen-des-mittelalters-und-der-fruehen-neuzeit-das-wurfkreuz/ www.barbarusbooks.de/artikel/die-r%C3%BCstkammer/wurfkreuz/ Vladimir Dolínek, Jan Durdík: Historische Waffen.

I wiuld like to research those sources more. Much of what happened in tge Middle Ages even as late as the 30 years war has been lost to the sands if time.

He gets a lot of Caucasus swords and daggers along with Soviet era stuff. The point is that he finds 17th and 18th century antiques that people find in their attics or dig up out of fields, for sale at tables by the street. I’d love to see you take a stroll with him and talk about some of his finds. (Screws And Tools channel)

No far from it. before him were the antiquarians, little better than looters. after him were field archaeologists. Without Rivers you dont get Petrie. With Petrie you can finally make the case that Archaeological excavation is no longer distruction. In reality the birth of modern archaeology, so possibly more apt to call rivers the grandfather of archaeology. It is not to say that Archaeology would not be mired in not just controversy, and complicit in heinious crimes, (the Nazi attempt to subtiantiate the Airian master race myth springs to mind amongst many).

I imagined from the title that you must be in Vancouver, Canada, because that's where the Pitt River is ! LOL (I'm NOT British ! )

Learning about Rivers and his mission and condition for the collection, made me think of a very similar situation with the Walter Vincent Smith museum/collections in Springfield Massachusetts. He stipulated that the collection on display remain on display and it not changed. A little bit of a modern problem, but still an amazing collection.

Pitt Rivers Museum really is amazing

Amazing museum, indeed it is. With its very diverse and cramped together collection of pieces from all the world, ages and cultures, it seems to very much resemble the very interesting weapons museum in Lima, Peru (I really recommend it, it's atop the gold museum in the same building), Pitt Rivers Museum just with an quite larger and even more diverse collection. Thanks for the tour.
