Finding An Ancient Chamber Under A Garden In Cornwall | Time Team | Absolute History

[@joakimblomqvist7229]

Mick Aston was such a good sport, nice and friendly and charming besides the fact that he knew his stuff... He's very much missed. RIP Mick... Also this episode was a revelation to me... I didn't know Phil once had a side parting! I enjoy this stuff so much!

[@revenge0lobster]

This was vastly more entertaining than I expected. Would love to see more TIme Team!

[@karenq8255]

Search time team. Someone has every episode for you to see

[@revenge0lobster]

@@karenq8255 Thanks, I will! I forget that pre-2000s content is searchable, too.

[@agarceran]

Seeing how moder tech has evolved since then I hope someone has gone there with some kind of ground penetrating radar or something similar to see if the fogou continues or not.

[@tommink8379]

At the very least, several years of having a popular show and an experienced staff would've meant that English Heritage would've passed through all the permits in the nod

I can’t tell if this was recorded yesterday or sometime in the 90s.

1996

[@waterbird91]

Could that word fugoue translate to Fugue ? as in place of "refuge , or ' hiding place'? Looks to me that it definitely could have been a used as a hiding place from warring soldiers , enemies of some kind.

[@brianpeck4035]

It seems like its got ventilation built in

[@jeffreyport1099]

dowsing works great!!

[@jeffreyport1099]

I would have liked to see the geophys and dowsing maps compared for accuracy.

[@adamsjerome1839]

My parents house had a very deep well out back. I rented a whacking great pump with the belief that when I sumped out the water hidden riches would be mine. My hopes were rewarded, a bunch of nameless bottles and a motley mob of corroded tin cans. Heavy sigh!

[@johnlord8337]

Probably a root cellar, or a hooch distillery and brew storage area !!!

[@maxasaurus3008]

Holy shit! Tony can find well sites!

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thank you.

[@007vsMagua]

I don't think the Fogou was a lard locker or used for food storage. Why go to all the work to build a stone structure when all you need to do is dig under a large tree and use the main root structure to support the roof. In the U.S. our early European settlers built root cellars which were used to store root vegetables, potato's, and such over the winter.

[@Brian1Graves]

Tried dowsing some time ago. Didn't work. Fella said it was because I didn't believe in it. Didn't work for him either. Me suspects dowsers have more failures than successes but only talk about the successes. So overall. you have better chances with random digging.

[@purplesue66]

I dig these old hippies.

[@Trund27]

Nice! A fuggy hole! History is amazing.

[@professorsogol5824]

If you want to find fugu, come to Japan and try some fugu sashimi. It may make your lips tingle.

[@componenx]

dousing- what a load of tripe! Might as well check the fogou for ghosts while you're at it.

[@MatthewSlaymaker]

Some people on here are actually claiming it works. Silly people.

[@charleswalker1185]

Dowsing is a viable finder...do not poopoo it...

[@componenx]

@@charleswalker1185 Yeah, then how does it work? And why do they claim to be able to find different things/substances using it. Physical phenomena must have a scientific explanation. It's crap, pure and simple.

[@yelsmlaugh]

@@componenx Physical Scientists do not know how consciousness works. When they find out what it is, they'll all be dousing.

[@componenx]

@@yelsmlaugh What is a "physical" scientist? All science is physical. I guess non-physical science would include bigfoot, flat earth, ghosts, aliens, vampires, Trump's intelligence, ALL the stupid conspiracy theory lies, and of course, dousing. Consciousness IS interesting; you should read "Other Minds" by Peter Godfrey-Smith.

[@RaAndTheGodsOfLoveFire]

33:21 It makes me cringe seeing those electrical lines in the ground like that without any pipe enclosing them.

[@GiGiGoesShopping]

New age re the dowsing ? That's older than dirt. The geo fizzing is the new kid on the block.

[@Starfire7888]

Im sorry I didnt hear properly, I just kept hear voodoo voodoo, evidence of the voodoo XD

A very successful English farmland tornado/cyclone shelter - see no tornadoes/cyclones in England. Or Stone Age winter quarters (underground fire and heating) and fresh-air and sunshine above ground shelter for Spring-Fall !!! Look at the Cornwall map of all the fogous across the farmlands - (hint) farmlands.

[@1967buickriviera]

???

[@roamingcelt]

There's no blowfish in this episode!

[@niklar55]

Could be an air raid shelter.

List of Time Team episodes

[@johngalt97]

If there were memories of past solar-fry events, a fogou would be a good place to hide from the next one. If the only people to survive the last fry were the ones similarly shielded, the need to have and use a fogou would be an article of faith.

[@larkuel]

oof lost me at the dousing

[@avd-wd9581]

I'm pretty sure that was either requested by the land owner or added just for the "drama". No serious scientist - especially archeologist - would believe in that crap.

[@IronChief]

@@avd-wd9581 it can be done. I've found several voids underground as small as 2" in diameter. Proved myself several times.

[@promontorium]

@@IronChief You genuinely believe a stick or rod can magically detect water underground by moving, when these objects clearly have no attraction to each other, can't be replicated, is utterly unscientific, and is basically belief in magic? Have you considered that the ground has voids, so digging for them will find them?

[@IronChief]

@@promontorium I didn't say anything about water.

[@IronChief]

@@promontorium finding the voids before digging is the point.

Why only a short time to dig. Land owner seems to want them there

Because the bill payer was a TV station, not the government. The original broadcast would have been replete with ads.
