SUTTON HOO SHIP: Time Team - Breaking News!

[@judeedling2979]

The Sutton Hoo ship is gorgeous! The CG is brilliant and I look forward to Time Team showing us the building and launch of the ship. Thank you!!

[@darcydraper2850]

Absolutely beautiful. Couldn't think of a better partnership than Time Team and Sutton Hoo.

[@malahammer]

Well done Mrs Pretty, the world owes you so much.

[@corbinbacon9043]

That view down from above makes it look like a living breathing creature. Not so far fetched to dream of sea dragons, I can totally see why someone would be terrified and in complete awe of something like that. I hope you share about it at least a little on KZbin, unfortunately I don't have money for a Patreon subscription. If I did, you guys would be top of my list 😀 so glad to see the show coming back! This world needs as much educational experience and knowledge as it can get!

[@BDJones055]

What an amazing crossover! I work on boats for a living and come home at night and decompress by watching Time Team. I'm 100% joining the patreon for this!

[@dougmackey448]

How fantastic is this?! Proud to be a tiny fraction of help.

[@ferdi5407]

Sincerely hope the final documentary will be for everyone to view. Many of us cannot afford 'Patreon'😪

[@chrisforrest9482]

I am blown away! An absolutely breath taking video of an incredibly beautiful ship in a green and lovely land. Magnificent work all round. Thank you, thank you so much.

[@alexonelevator3439]

Some really nice CGI! Gives a great feel for what's coming!

[@rushzimi3865]

What an incredible moment in human history to go back in time through technology and reproduce/resurrect something so unspeakably beautiful. Somehow almost similar to bringing back some majestic animal from extinction through the science of genetic cloning. I am in awe.

[@schoolingdiana9086]

How are there only 71k subscribers to this channel??? ❤️ Time Team!

[@davidbingaman4303]

Aamzing production values, CG and cinematography! Nicely done....

[@mnossy11]

Wow!! The clips of the rowing are just amazing! I can imagine what a powerful image it was to see one of these boats coming up the river to your village!

[@Erik-ou3tl]

I know Time Team is a mostly Great Britain focused show/group, but I would love their style of documentary on the Dutch ship of Batavia, which was launced in 1628, and wrecked off the coast of Australia in 1629 on it's maiden voyage. there is a lot of story behind it, it's wreck, the aftermath, and, the entire ship was reconstructed using period methods between 1985 and '95! very fascinating stuff.

[@goulash75]

I've always thought a Time Team International program would be great. Go to different countries for 6 months at a time (or so) and do some digs. I'm from Australia, but have lived in a few different countries. Always amazed at what history surrounds you if you're willing to look for it.

[@jamesellsworth8147]

That boat's got great lines I've only built fiberglass boats but just looking at the pictures I can smell the wood excellent job

[@sharyledoherty176]

Wow! So excited for this documentary! Since I saw The Dig I’ve been reading about the Sutton Hoo find and it’s fascinating.

[@drinxs505]

If I could leave this space blank it would be, because there's not words for such beautiful how that boat came out.

[@mikes5637]

It hasn't yet. That's a CGI projection of how it could look.

[@anti-Russia-sigma]

Wow!Nothing brings the past to life like a reconstruction.

[@belendemaria1989]

This is AMAZING!!!

[@doomed1673]

The boat is beautiful but for me it's the tools and techniques that are especially interesting, the joinery and knowledge of how materials interact would have been an accumulation of hundreds of years of practice and the ship would probably been considered modern when finished .

[@wudip6306]

I am SOOOOO excited! This will be amazing!

[@dishmurphy6539]

Magnificent to watch it in action. Looking forward to see more ✌️💚

[@DakotaCelt1]

This is amazing. It reminds of the Viking ship in Moorhead, MN. It was based on the Gokstad ship unearthed in Norway in1881.

[@Kincoran]

This is spectacular!

[@bonetiredtoo]

By remarkable coincidence I had a look in the shed only yesterday (12/11/2021) !!

[@gnarshread]

Outstanding!

[@OneMoreJames]

Woo-Hoo!

[@pamjamas]

It looks like a piece of kinetic sculpture as they row it across the bay. Beautiful.

[@jonathanriddell6302]

That is great news

[@moiraallen3841]

Magnificent!

[@larrimos]

Excellent!

[@pambowers8890]

Watching that beautiful ship....got chills!

[@willjones7132]

The water from the oars in the animation is pretty good.

[@maksimlipecki232]

Epic job.

[@athopi]

Exciting!

[@samelliot9186]

All I can say is wow

[@palbrekke9455]

Great news, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the documentary! Maybe everyone in the UK is already intimately familiar with Sutton Hoo and the ship, but slightly more context would be great for philistines like me. While I've seen the famous helmet, I don't really know what else was found at Sutton Hoo (well, I guess the remains of a ship) - I would have loved a bit more info in a voice over or as text on the video :)

[@meganjoyce9645]

There is a documentary called the dig , on Netflix it covers the whole story

[@TimeTeamOfficial]

Hi, this is quick teaser for the official announcement but we will be providing much more detail in the weeks ahead, along with our wider plans for 2022. Please watch this space for more exciting developments on the horizon. Many beautiful finds were discovered alongside the ship. You can also check out our earlier interviews with John Preston, author of 'The Dig', and Neil MacGregory, former Director of the British Museum, where many of these stunning artefacts are held today. (See links below)

[@oldplucker1]

Great idea, like to see it finished. But about Sutton Hoo, the Anglo Saxon king was buried there because of the stunning majestic view down to the river which has now been lost due to trees being planted blocking the Majestic view. You can see the new trees in the video blocking the view to the river. I bet the misguided nature lovers who planted those trees would not block any views from their own homes. Sutton Hoo is a National and internationally important Historic monument and the views should be reinstated and protected. Time Team should be suggesting the new woodland be moved well above Sutton Hoo so it does not interfere with the very reason the burials were there in the first place, that wonderful view that you can’t see any more.

[@0210rokvist]

Amazing

[@CatBuchanan]

Sounds very interesting

[@nickbrough8335]

It'll be interesting to see the similatirites and differences to Viking designs. Would it not have been masted as well (although perhaps not in the version that was buried).

[@PatHerranz]

Absolutely stunning!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@nilo70]

Amazing!

[@mirandamom1346]

Those oars!

[@Bhh-j2s]

Woo HOOOOOO

[@archangel807]

Show's what inspiration can do...

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

THIS is gonna to be amazing. The ship they they have recreated, is it taken from a Viking ship?? and from what date would that be from?? I am all about learning more history of the Vikings and all the different clans that not only invaded but the ones that finally stop invading and in stead settled to farm and raise families.

[@iseeolly9959]

Makes me proud to be a Woodbridge/Orford lad.

[@melissamybubbles6139]

This is fantastic! Are you going to dress Matt as a Viking for the grand reveal?

[@0623kaboom]

just think what a load of olympic skullers could get that vessel going at ... bet it might be able to tow a light water skier behind it perhaps

[@leighchristopherson2455]

Kind of puts University rowing teams in a new perspective for me. It makes me wonder where the tradition came from.

[@amandachapman4708]

That is so exciting! I shall have to be patient and wait for the completed video as unfortunately I can't manage to subscribe to patreon.

[@iainbell3985]

[@angelabrady9342]

I started to watch The Dig after seeing this link. I’ve a couple of questions about Basil Brown’s accent (as an Australian, I don’t know my way around the regions)… now both he and Ralph Fiennes are from the Ipswich area, but the character’s accent sounds much more like a south west rural (Devon/Dorset?) accent methinks? I’d imagine his accent was more chav-by-the-sea😅, meets “raffinement”, as he was self educated polyglot/polymath (according to Wikipedia!). On the other hand, perhaps they are reverentially reference Time Team’s own Phil Harding, also field/self-educated! please let me know what you think?

[@theoldfart8632]

I would love to learn more about my scandinavian ancestors adventures and lives in England.

[@bryanthesmith4441]

When I was at school in the 1960's we were taught that Saxon ships had no mast or sail and were in fact very big rowing boats. There is now some speculation that at this time Scandinavian ship builders were building sailing ships. The thought stuck me is it possible that burial ships were purpose built to a traditional model for traveling to the after life, but the ships the Saxons were using to invade Britain could be equipped with a mast and sail. This as based on no research or study but just a thought to investigate. I would be interested in other peoples thoughts on the subject.

[@johnnymacf1]

There are already videos put out on KZbin about its construct by the The Sutton Hoo Ship Company itself!

[@blktauna]

Where's Damian Goodburn... I know he's got to be somewhere on this project! :)

[@whitewallwheels1hardcore.m_o_h]

answer to patreon is no

[@dogwalker666]

I didn't realise it didn't have a sail, silly me.

[@cm4099]

Patreon is fine for people who can afford monthly contributions. I am disabled and living on a limited income. While I could donate occasionally, there is no such option on Patreon. Not all your fans are wealthy.

[@BigAlonBass]

I'm in the same boat. (Pardon the pun!) It seems that this is thwe way everything is going these days. "If you don't give us money, you aren't aloowed to see the good stuff" Well, that's me out as well. Unsubscribed...

[@bitsnpieces11]

Check it out deeper, I believe they have a low amount to join, maybe a dollar a month??

[@fernie5128]

Hang in there. You are not alone! We will still be able to see the documentary when it is complete without the patreon donation and it will be up on KZbin. We just won't have access to behind the scenes as they are filming the reconstruction. That is what they are asking money for. TimeTeam isn't connected with BBC funding anymore since it was canceled so they are pursuing crowd funding for TT digs, etc. They will all be up on KZbin on this TT Official channel. Using crowd funding allows them to produce what they want without the suits telling them what to do. Another TT fan in the U.S.

According to the link above the cheapest rate is £5 per month plus VAT which makes it £6. it goes up to £100 per month plus VAT. - or you could perhaps sponsor a rivet for a mere £20.

[@johnjetson1307]

we have had 12 months of promotion but no real content !! Please real history soon!

[@davidkeeble1193]

[@SevCaswell]

I wonder who the oarsmen were, slaves or the warriors themselves?

[@jessh5310]

They were the warriors, Commited and incentiveised people who knew where they were going and wanted to get there quickly. Having spent time researching saxons and vikings they almost to a man (and woman) hated sea journeys and wanted them over ASAP. Many sailors carrying freight were mediterranean of origin even those who died and were buried at places like Bamburgh, (long story)

[@Pikkugen]

There was little space for idle people, especially after a successful journey, whether a raid or a trade journey.

[@rushzimi3865]

I imagine the warriors on the way there and slaves on the way back... 😬

[@jessh5310]

@@rushzimi3865 . Probably not. It takes time to train people to row and you would not want to mess around going home with lots of goodies. From research they had very specific ideas of who they wanted to capture and what goods they wanted to steal. The vikings sold most of their goods to the far east so were probably stealing to order.

[@tarjei99]

It was breaking news. Now it is broken news.

[@Meine.Postma]

So far all I've heard is "We are going to....". So when will this be? Time Team reproducing/rebuilding things was always the worst part of Time Team. Just stick to digging. Or am I the only one?

[@fernie5128]

I think there is a lot of support for other content besides digs. I loved it all! Hang in there the 2 digs they did a couple of months ago are in editing and will be up on KZbin. Since they aren't connected with BBC for money anymore they are using crowd funding and I think there are a lot of Sutton Hoo, Saxon era fans out there that will jump on board (no pun intended) Patreon.

[@549RR]

I think the experimental archaeology throughout the series successfully tested theories on the lifestyles and craft of people who lived through the various eras. It was honest and humorous! (Thinking of many failures in metal casting and Matt groggily schlepping as a lay brother, and not to forget the amazing skill of Phil whenever he sat down to knap flints!

[@lacyoh8066]

I really enjoy the experimental archeology aspect. Regardless, they are just going in to film the process. Additionally … they have done 2 digs this year so “we are going to” has been backed up by action! You could join over on Patreon and help with input there and get caught up on news. Those 2 digs will be released here on KZbin as soon as they finish all the editing =)

[@philroberts7238]

@@fernie5128 A pedantic point perhaps, but they were never connected with the BBC. Time Team was a Channel 4 production
