Timeline - World History Documentaries is there any way to see how far they’ve gotten with the castle today

Google it. They are finished and give living history tours now.

You are British y u use $???

@@choioi6657 $ is "easier" to spell than dollars

I sadly agree as an Art major with emphasis in Art History the same gray, dull, melancholy interiors of castles was impressed upon us students also. I was ecstatic to find in this episode it simply wasn't so.

Sadly though the European world had been experiencing no major scientific break through throughout the feudal era. It wasn’t dull but it was a time with no reform or change. Almost everything from chemistry to gunpowder the very things that the modern world revolve around were discovered and studied in Asia and Africa. It’s what happens when war is perfected to be made cheap.

Grumpy Yes the Middle Ages was a time of discovery and the early founding of business

Despite delays from covid guedelon is almost done. Google them they have their own website.

@@homeaccount5206 None of what you have written is true. Keep reading.

I have a science teacher like her too, but it is an old guy who blows up stuff all the time or shows off his Tesla coil, he knows a lot about chemistry and his room is full of stuff about chemistry and planets.

@@TechnicalTactician That's a golden teacher

I've watched a few documentaries which feature her. At first blush, her exuberance could be mistaken as affected, but no one can keep that up so long and so convincingly. So she is clearly enthusiastic about her work. It's great to see and it draws the viewer in--at least this one.

Awe that was sweet . 🥰🙇🏻‍♀️ & yes she is a joy to life for everyone she crosses paths with & I’m glad we get to experience her passion & love for life , she’s so smart too & has sooooo many skill sets , she can literally do anything. I’d want to be around her when the grid goes down or something apocalyptic happens. Her daughter is so lucky to have a mom like her. 💛☺️

That's so sweet and kind

👍

I mean, it's a bloody castle. It's pretty rad.

Yes. Man is built to do purposeful stuff. That’s why they are happy.

“Washed a few episodes” well I hope they’re clean now 😂😂😂

@@henrylivingstone2971 hahahaha... Voice to text option 🤦.

eze creative No it was good, I got a good laugh 😂😂😂

Yes, I also washed a couple of those episode. They came out pretty clean.

Yes. My episodes came out pretty clean!

She's not a Queen! She's a witch! lol

@@hypnocilicdreams oh my gosh lol. I said to my self whatever that’s perfect and easier lol . Native from Canada Alberta 🇨🇦lol 👌

@@hypnocilicdreams she turned me into a newt!

I got a good laugh out of that also!

😂

yeah, this woman doesn't shy away from anything, and I'm not sure if I should be aroused by it, or scared

She's AMAZING, isn't she?

I'm watching because I build stonewalls on my rural property ("For fun!" according to my fiancee'). I like building for decades, perhaps a hundred years! I love it when a rock falls perfectly in place as though it's been waiting thousands of years to find a place in my wall!

Rhonda Sisco-Cleveland - You’re a good daughter.

My feelings exactly: my father was an ingeneer, and he was always amazed by the gothic cathedrals. He always wondered how they did it without all the machines we have. I wish he were alive so we could go visit, seeing I live in France now :(

@@msinvincible2000 I’m so sorry, and I understand. You should go, maybe his spirit can draw near you.

Me too. My Dad was a hobby woodworker, he loved shaping wood and making furntiture.

well given the time period of 13th century, well there werent that many beds, people would sleep on kind of strawbeds bedded with linen with a kind of framing. Of course there were beds made with remarkable craftmensship, but those were the exeption. As far as furniture goes, its most of the time plain, simple and of rugged construction sometimes with decorative elements, considered by modern standard rather crude very few nails or glue, just wood fitting but it has its own charm. How do i now ? I live in germany and have seen some castles and even furniture from the 14th century. Some of the living rooms were actually quite nice with a fireplace, tables, chairs and wooden ceiling and wooden wallblending with decoratice carpets or paintings (which were restored) and later fitted glaswindows, before that they were sealed shut with planks to keep the warmth in.

MsOtzelot lol you realize those are modern reconstructions? Wood from the Middle Ages has rotten away. And wealthy lords who could afford a castle could afford a nice bed

Look up the Absolute History channel. They have this full series, and one episode shows the Interior Design

Actually Svetlana there are a good number of surviving examples from medieval saxony.

@@joshschneider9766 very true the royal collection (uk) has many pieces from the period as well as linen and other more fragile pieces.

😂😂😂

I love the shade

I went to the comments looking for this

did you finally go??

I would go and never leave-I would plead with them to join their workforce as an archivist of this project (which I'm sure there's already an archive team archiving everything imaginable about this project through the years as it's happening around them), and learn about medieval bookbinding, writing, implements, fables and Christian stories, etc. I went to University for History and self-specialized in Medieval and American Histories, and worked for a year in their Archives & Area Research Center that served the four-county area, learning the basics of how to run and upkeep a small archives. I would also want the wives to teach me how to hand sew and weave fabrics, and help with the cooking and farm chores (the University I went to was known for their Agriculture programs).

@@JessieCochran37 I'm sure they'd let you hang out, perhaps they'd let you live in the little village nearby, as long as you act the period. Not a problem for me. I love my Pc, and I love Minecraft, and GTA SA, but I love the Medieval period even more, and I'd happily give it all up just to live out there.

I know right, Peter getting all sweaty, building stuff, so cute 🥰

That must have been amazing:)

@@puppidoggi1124 Hiya and Happy New Year, PD. It was then and 60+ years later it is even more so. I consider France and particularly Paris my second home as it were. I even threw them some Euros for the funding of the rebuild on Notre-Dame Cathedral after the fire. Cheers from the Great White North

Listening to Ruth so enthusiastically talk about history is quite relaxing haha.

I've noticed her joy also and its infectious to witness!😊

Celt Gunn what are some others?

I hope they keep doing them! There is so much to learn and discover ... maybe ask them to come to America and live in our past? That would be awesome!

@@CraftQueenJr They lived at an early Tudor Monastery-owned farm for about a year, & in an early-mid 17th c Welsh farm for an entire year - it made for fascinating viewing!

They did a War Time (WWII) piece too in that series. Love them!

@@mariahsmom9457 The stream train one...

I ❤️ her, she’s hilarious!

@Aeox Shhhhhh

Can't stand her or her laugh. She is too dramatic. Compare her to the very professional site administrator Sarah Preston. They should have used Sarah for the entire series instead of Ruth. Factual and easy to listen to. The more I watch Ruth, the less I like her. She overdoes everything. She isn't dedicated, she is a drama queen. She would make the perfect witch in a children's scary movie.

I got a few hides and a head on my wall, all from roadkill, I take the animal home, skin it, work the hide and eat or bury the meat (depends on how long it's been dead and/or if some organs have ruptured from the impact. if the stomach have a leak, ALL the meat is useless.)

there was no road kill, they just said that because they didn't want to upset people that they killed a badger to make some brushes

Do a who done it murder on a medieval buildsite! You have to incorporate the hamster-wheel crane.

@@chrisbolland5634 oh my god I would kill to play that lol

@@chrisbolland5634 I saw your comment as I was writing my campaign, thanks for the idea as it's now part of a side quest..!

Ive never played it but have been meaning to try

You'd never really think that medieval tile-making politics would be a point of contention, but you'd be wrong. The kind of chaos in a tile-making village that would erupt once the royals hand down all new rules for how tiling is to be done. Raised tensions, struggles to get a batch just right according to new norms. And of course, any sort of monster or bandits that might threaten to disrupt such operations, potentially putting the livelihoods of the town at risk. Maybe a band of Tiefling tilers who have been laboring just fine for years, but then some racist in a position of authority decides, by the new national rules, Tieflings aren't allowed to make tiles. All sorts of ways to spin it into a game.

That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for posting it :)

A females period used to be called "being on the rag." So i have always thought rags were used and of course washed for reuse.

Doesn't some of the world still use the left hand and bowl of water method?

@@missannie8012 yes

same with Ancient China: low quality waste paper was used as toiletries

Maybe not. The typical construction seems to have taken five to ten years, well within the strategic time frames of a typical monarch. They were also often not built individually but as part of a centralized military planning effort. There is one more component that nobody seems to think about: work creation programs. Unemployment was a politically sensitive issue even back then. Unemployed starving people do stupid things (crime and revolution), while employed people are well under control. They have something to lose, a home, a wife, daily meals, respect by the community etc.. Political leaders were no less aware of these issues in antiquity and the Middle Ages than they are today. And what would you like better? A guy building a castle for you or the same guy plotting against you because he is desperate?

Depends on which era you look at. Certainly in some parts of the Middle Ages people could live beyond 60

It seems to be a common misconception that life SPANS were shorter then. Not so. Even the Bible speaks of a man's term as being "three score and ten" (70 years); not so different from modern folks. Life EXPECTANCY was certainly reduced then, the result of disease or war or famine, but life expectancies deal with population averages. LOTS of people did die relatively young, but individuals could nevertheless figure on living 60 or 70 years.

true. That's a well documented and well constructed documentary

Did you ever get there??

I think this is an old series they might be done by now

Originally scheduled to be completed in 2023. I have no idea if they expect to finish on time 😀

@Leon Russell Thank you 😀👍

Did you really though? Or did you just read that comment on every other video in this series and hope to get a bunch of "likes" on your comment like they did?

My husband and I do that 😂

My thoughts also after all the Romans used a sponge on a stick even as far north as Hadrian's Wall.

@Baron Von Grijffenbourg How would you go about using the water to wash your behind? A bidet using water pressure which didn't look like they'll have, without that I'd imagine it'd get kind of messy. And you'd still need something to wipe to help with cleaning like the Roman's sponge stitch... To me, it seems more likely they had a dry cloth and a wet cloth. The wet cloth, with a bucket of water, was used for the initial cleaning. While the dry was used after things were cleaned but still wet. To the higher status nobles I imagine it was another luxury their status afforded them to use relatively nice cloth to wipe themselves. Probably the lower class would use old, holey rags that weren't much good for anything else.

@Baron Von Grijffenbourg Cloths can be washed. You're not "ruining" it by using it to clean yourself.

@@catief1031 your hand wipe everything off that way then use water then water to clean your hands then the cloth to dry your hands.

John McCallum that’s a long stick 🤔

It is a museum. You can visit the building site which works as a living exibition, even though the castle isn't complete yet.

Stroggoii - Thank you, greatly appreciate the answer! That’s great, was really hoping they were doing that with it! I’ll probably never see it myself, but I love that it’s there for others to wonder at ☺️

Wendy Harrison I think the process of building is more interesting than the finished "product" for educative purposes, and they probably think the same, since they decide to build in parallel a medieval mill and several other building projects around the castle, like a village and another smaller castle made in wood, since the very early castles were made in wood. Once it will be finally finished, there are tons of possibilities. You can make medieval shows with knights, you can rent it for movies, or ceremonies, weddings, things like that, you can make a touristic/educative place pretty much as it is now. Or all at once...

Delph Zouzou Oh goodness, yes I completely agree with you! I found the process of building it just fascinating! I loved that such ancient & largely forgotten methods and techniques were rediscovered and used again - we’ve lost so much along the way, so to find that there’s still folks out there with ancient techniques and abilities that have been passed down through the families throughout the generations is such a gift!

Wendy Harrison I also understand that every step of the process was vastly documented and will gain a permanent exhibit. Docs like this one are also material they gather to show and register all the research and the work involved.

I would like to see a whole outside done.

I rather like the effect of rendering most of the walls but featuring the beautifully cut cornerstones around windows and doors etc. But I do appreciate this is a period recreation.

There are plenty of original castles where people can see such masonry, so I think they should render the whole lot here.

Was thinking the same thing. I think the grand hall looks grand as it is and should leave it be.

That was one of the first I watched, too. I love the Historical Farm series!

@@JessieCochran37 it's so amazing to look at all of the ways that they made things and how I can use some of them.

Brittania is no longer British

Wow: is Alecca. , , ,

People do complain about the TV license fee, but when the product is high quality documentaries like this on free TV without commercials, I don't mind paying.

@@G1NZOU If they complain... they needn't pay! I don't pay for a TV license as I watch nothing live. I get all of my viewing and knowledge from on-demand movies and programmes and pre-recorded documentaries such as this on the good ol' KZfaq! :-)

@@johnny_pilot also BBC has started to include product placement as part of advertising

What is that shows name so I can watch more episodes???

Yeah sounds poetic too say that but things weren't simpler, not day too day life

I also yearns for that

you might get sick of medieval times & want to return to your own time. especially if you live there a peasant, not in a lords castle like the one shown in this video

@@hypnocilicdreams first i m decendent from italian nobility this is the coat of arms of my family secondly i would prefer to live less but a better life a more meaninful and natural one than living to 100 years but wishing i was dead becase i couldnt tolerate myself or my era, or my city life, peasants may work but everyone has to work the difference is they worked on meaniful things they had passion on such as farmer, carpenter, smith. Instead of pressing buttons on a computer to do nothing just so your boss can get richer, speaking of so i do not want to create a utopia and taxes is normal but better to pay taxes but live better than what i said earlier

@@hypnocilicdreams even in the modern world am looking for a small farm for myself so i can live naturally like my ancestors did

I have dined at White Castle. I am basically a Nobel Woman.

Right on!

I am directly descended from charlemagne!

Hahahahahahaha! Yes!
