It was a glorious time to grow up. 90s and early 00's Discovery and History had stuff like this all the time. Then suddenly History became world war 1 and 2 only, and eventually just reality television. Even early 00's TLC was okay, but it was the first to go to exclusively reality television. Sad times indeed. At least now we have channels like this.

Anyone have any favorite miniseries? The History of Britain was fifteen episodes, I think. My favorite series ever. I lost one disc and I just about cried. I also loved The Men Who Built America, America: The Story of Us, and the series Engineering an Empire. Some episodes of Modern Marvels are amazing too. I'm into Curiosity Stream because it has a ton of stuff like this, but since the app is wigging out on me, I came back to KZbin, lol. I have a playlist for all kinds of historical stuff, called Historical. I'm so creative. 😅 If anyone has any fave documentaries, I'd love suggestions. I binge history at least once a week. I really love Rome and England, but I'm also fond of Russia, Japan, and what was the Mongol Empire. I'm branching out to France as well. Also! Ruth Goodman's (yep, the Ruth from the show!) book How to Live Like a Tudor is amazing. I happen to be rereading it, and even in the reread, it's so good. Densely packed but not at all boring. Some of the stuff about marriage and sex was difficult to listen to, but overall it's a really good read. The audiobook is awesome as well. 😁

It's a common misconception that WD-40 is a lubricant; in fact it is a solvent designed to remove lubricants. Although it will lubricate for a sparse moment it fairly quickly loses this trait and will leave whatever it was touching worse off. *Ask any bike mechanic this and they will tell you to use a house hold vegetable/olive oil over WD-40 if you are in a pinch.*

The number 12 has some very distinct advantages to the number 10 when it comes to construction, architecture, and any other building tasks. You can divide a foot easily into halves 6", or quarters, 3". But not only that, you can easily divide 12 into thirds 4". Whereas with the number ten, sure you can easily divide into halves of 5" no problem, but to divide it into quarters you are already having to start using fractions or decimal points 2.5 and it is actually impossible to divide 10 into thirds 3.333333333 (keep going). Division is crucial to all building practices such as carpentry, masonry, plumbing, landscaping etc. That's not so say it can't be done using the metric system, only that the foot system makes a whole lot more sense.

Think about it: fire warms up castle during night, but by dawnbreak bread is baked and ready for other workers. (Here in this documentary they were baking bread in middle of the day, which doesn't seem right) I think fire was lit during night, while fire slowly faded and heat started cooling a little, around 4 AM or 5 AM when dawn breaks, bread is placed to be baked (and not burned like they ended up with). That's probably something left even to this day where bakers are the earliest workers in castle.

Interesting: it was mentioned that the French word for 'thumb' is the same as the word for 'inch'... In Danish the same thing applies: we call the thumb 'Tommelfinger' or just 'Tommel' and our word for inch is 'Tomme'. In German, on the other hand, an inch is called 'zoll' while the thumb is called 'daumen' so that's a thing they share with English, in a manner of speaking - having entirely different words for the measurement and the body-part from which it's derived, I mean.

Half an hour into the documentary and I'm sure I've seen over a dozen commercials. This is hilarious. (The content is grandious of course.)

I never noticed any music or sound problems. I wish they had shown the use of the porous clay pot the Brits call a cooking brick. You can bake bread in it or pot roast or . ..

That's what the germans call a "Römer Topf". (Plural RömerTöpfe). As in Roman Clay Pot. Good for bread baking, poultry roasting, fish cooking.... You need one for each use. Or your chicken might taste of fish ! 😆

Very good and informative serie, but very VERY agressive when it comes to commercials. 1 every 3-5 minutes... that's quite intense.

This might be a stupid question but... how did a towns blacksmith keep their items straight? I mean, now you would fill out a work order and put a tag on the item so you know who dropped it off and what you were supposed to do- but they weren't even literate so they had to remember who brought in which tool, what work they needed done, any orders they might have for X amount of nails, not to mention keeping track of incoming orders and debts owed. How does one do that in an age before proper bookkeeping?

I suppose having a forest nearby and iron rich soil all around worked both in favor of and against the castle dwellers and defenders during a siege as your besieging enemies could cut you off from these resources and use them to manufacture and repair their own catapults bows and other weapons.

"The Story of how to build a Medieval castle" reads far more interesting than "the importance of stonemasons"
@nobilesnovushomo584 жыл бұрын
But it doesn’t explain every step that’s needed and the underlying finer logic, it only shows and explains many. This is actually a fairly precise title, as the importance and many nuances of Stone masons are explained, but explicit step by step manufacturing and derivation of simplistic geometric skills is still left alone somewhat. Still a very well done and very in-depth documentary. For example: how to make that continuous air pump (The giant double bellows) made from leather... because I doubt many people can manufacture that today or would have the incentive too. Also that was a fairly specific piece of machinery, that might’ve needed repair frequently or infrequently, each carrying their own challenges. Even if frequently it’s still would’ve been merely one very specific job done by a custom artisan tool manufacturer, if infrequently well that just adds to the problem because there’s no incentive to remain knowledgeable by a secondary tool craftsman to retain the knowledge. You could hand them the plans and let them keep them for cataloging purposes The next time a repair is requested for reference by the secondary forger/leather craftsman. There is a high probability that that was actually developed and made by the Forge master or apprentice of the forge themselves, therefore it’s a detail that’s critical to the continued operation of the forge and is critical to efficiency.

it’s a series about medieval castles they can’t just name every episode “the story of how to build a medieval castle.” they have to title it with what this episode focuses on.
