Time Team revisits Athelney Abbey, the hideaway of Alfred the Great. They search for traces of King Alfred's fight against the Vikings. Previously the team found evidence of ironworking and discovered the Abbey built to commemorate Alfred's victory but they believe there are still more discoveries to be made. The site is naturally defended by marshes and floodable land, making it an ideal base for Alfred's fight against the Vikings. The team now has permission to dig and uncover more secrets of Alfred's Hideaway in the marshes.

So strange that they weren’t allowed to archeologically dig 10years ago, but the area was able to be ploughed for so many years. Luckily a lot of archeology was a lot deeper. I love time team and watch and rewatch just about every day.

WOW! I thought I had seen every Time Team episode that was ever made, but I missed this one! What a GEM! Thank you kindly, Chronicle - Medieval History Documentaries! 👍 What strikes me as strange, is the strong affinity of Modern Brits to the Angles and Saxons. They were Germanic Tribes that pushed out or intermingled with the Romano-British, often Celtic Tribes. The Vikings were Germanic tribes as well. Why is the Vikings so feared, and the Angles and Saxons so revered? The early Germanic tribes were presumably no more or less brutal than the later Vikings. And genetically, I reckon Britain is a mix of the Celts, Romans (who were a hodgepodge of Peoples) and the later Germanic Tribes such as the Jutes, Angles, Saxons and Vikings. So, it seems weird that Anglo-Saxon finds have such a special status. Just a thought. Thanks again for a MAGNIFICENT episode! 👍

Modern Brits have an affinity for the Anglo-Saxons because their genes make up the biggest chunk of modern English DNA, as long as you’re not Cornish. You are correct that they were just as brutal as the Vikings, though! I imagine the historical record seems so biased is because 1) it was written by the English, and 2) the Vikings weren’t Christians.

🌀 There are "2 Subjects of Point" I wish to share for Thought, relative to the Peoples of this Video: ("Who are these People's inhabiting the Geographic Area of England/Britain, in this time?") and ("What was their then "General Manner of Social Thought", what would be considered as +/- and their Clinically defined "Emotional Development" indicated by: "How they were Thinking", ie: "Higher Mind vs Lower Mind" @ 26:47 Human thought and Behavior (the defining description of an act of Human aggressive action resulting in an obvious state of torture to the victim, but it's "the Aggressor's Behaviors" and "the then Public's reactions, their behaviors", that I point to as defining the "State of Thought", "a general average point of the Society's Social Behavior area", and this having a measure that falls within the "Human Higher, Lower, and/or Mixed combination of both".

I started developing my new symbolism in February 2020 when I started drawing after three years of not painting. Every element depicted in my works has a personal meaning, and a complex story behind it. The symbol of a tree I call Gaia -mythological Greek goddess of earth, soil, and all organic life. It has its powers deep within the roots, and it can stimulate super volcanoes to annihilate all life to bring complete extinction. My “Gaia tree” provides food in abundance to all the species on earth and under water. Often there is a fruit resembling the fruit of temptation from the garden of Eden. And occasionally, I am using biblical symbol to express abundance this planet provides for its inhabitants. Often my Apple is manipulated into situation, where it distinctly becomes an object of desire. Pandora’s box at the lower left corner supposed to be a reminder that everything in this universe obeys laws of atrophy. Nothing stays the same forever even atoms deteriorate. Often magical energy from Pandoras box is penetrating many elements in my artwork. By doing so I am showing universal presence of creative and destructive forces in every square inch in our universe.

You're insulting viewers by saying you have just three days, when it;s obviously a tactic to mani[ulate your audience with fake excitement. The "three days" bogus deadline is ridiculous and makes viewers feel like you think they're sheep on a leash.

The show was filmed over three days because they all had full time jobs. You will observe that in many episodes some of the people do not turn up until Saturday.

@boogiesmell5181 4 ай бұрын

You're rather quick to jump to conclusions. This deadline is there not only for the format of this show, but also serves as an initial time window for these archeologists to find what they can in order to establish if further digs would be merited. They get "first dibs" on the site as it were, so future archeologists will know what to look for and what they might find. There's nothing insulting or manipulative about this. Nothing to get so worked up about.
