Hi Paul this was really interesting, the legend of the two brothers was fascinating about how the icon went and the brother was healed . Beautiful place and very informative ~ Anna

Ain Jalout was the first ever defeat suffered by the Mongols - not the reverse as claimed here. Serious historical error.

Thank you for spotting this, not quite sure how I got that wrong on the script. I've cut that section out of the video now.

It was built with small slate stones rather than the typical large monolithic stone we would normally see and used to finding. I guess it was due to the abundance of the stone being available in the area and maybe due to the limited number of people in the small dwellings?
@relicsruins 16 күн бұрын
That's a really interesting point. There are obviously monolithic sites very close to Skara Brae used for ceremonial purposes, but I assume using smaller flat stones for the houses was more practical for the construction. Thanks so much for watching!

We lived in the Fylde in Lancashire and used to travel to Stockton to visit a sister. Bowes was on our route. We stopped once. Brougham castle is in better condition. My son and I were the only visitors when we went. Appleby castle was still a home in the 1980s when we holidayed nearby but was partly open to visitors. It is at the top of a hill with the parish church way down at the bottom. I think Abbleby, Brougham and Brough were all owned, eventually, by a lady Clifton who had yo battle for the right to her inheritance. A tough lady.
@relicsruins Ай бұрын
I visited Brougham a few years ago without my camera, so plan to go back to film it, and I agree it's much more complete and in a beautiful location next to the river. I've just read up on Lady Clifford - she certainly does seem to have been a tough character! Thanks so much for watching, Helena

I was ablento visit before Covid. It's really neat to be able to explore inside. There was a little bit of interpretive signage. Hopefully they'll be able to stabilize the ruins enough to allow people to visit inside again. The walk out to the castle is also interesting. If there's not a lot of people around it feels very much like you're discovering a place few know about. I am a Campbell so learning about this castle is extra fascinating for me.

Hey Bethene, I'm glad you have been able to visit, it's a stunning castle in an amazingly beautiful location. When we visited there weren't many people either, but I also really wanted to explore inside! Hoping that they can re-open it, as I'll be straight back there to do another video! Best wishes, Paul

Hey, thanks so much for watching! Unfortunately, I can't add the map in after publishing as I'd need to delete the video and upload it as a new one, but I'll definitely look at adding in a location map on future videos, as I know this is helpful. Thanks again, I really appreciate your support.

I had the chance to go to either Petra or Kerak. Being a lover of Medieval history It could only be Kerak, Petra's for tourists. As soon as it is possible, Krak des Chevaliers is next.

I’ve not been able to find any specific information on that. Lord Riche bought the castle and estate for £700 and sold off the building stone. It was mainly Kentish ragstone which would have been quite valuable as a building material. Thanks for watching 😊

Dear Sir: Is Kerak Castle the very same 'Hazrath Castle' that the Bishop of Tyre besieged in June, 1125? The creation of the dice game Hazard occurred there.
@relicsruins 3 ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for watching the video. I couldn't find any information about a Hazrath Castle. Kerak wasn't built until 1142. so it's unlikely to be the same one. That's an interesting etymology of the name of the dice game though, it is certainly plausible.
@victordelmastro8264 3 ай бұрын
I believe I have found the 'Treasury or Temple of Solomon' in the Game of Casino Craps, a derivative of Hazard. It's a genuine dice game cheat code. Essentially, it is a sequence of bets, dice sets, and throws on the Line Bets in Casino Craps. It has the properties of an exponential ratchet in the complex plane. I'm pretty sure someone was using a shield with quadrants (a cross) when it was discovered 'empirically'.@@relicsruins
