I think this is the first time Francis didn't claim that the site was 'sacred' in some way. 😁

[@joakimblomqvist7229]

Exactly lol! And I didn't hear Phil say anything about flint, which also might be a first 😁!

[@sherrywade7439]

I live the light hearted humor added in here and there...along with learning, I get a chuckle...lol!

[@SizzlesDiaries]

It is a extreamely beautiful place to be,thank you for sharing

[@mikeokeefe2014]

One of my favorite episode's ! Philip is the man !

[@Bearak_]

"Steel is simply a much purer form of iron that's been melted and hammered differently". No, it's not. Not at all. Steel is a combination of iron and carbon. Check your facts, Tony!

[@trevorpomroy550]

What he said is still true, but a little misleading. The melting and the hading adds carbon from the fuel of the fire. It both purifies the iron by removing sulfates and such and adds impurities too.

[@Bearak_]

@@trevorpomroy550 No. Steel is made of...what? Iron and carbon. Therefore still IS NOT "purified iron", because by very definition, if you're adding something to something else, you're not "purifying" it.

Who love this channel.. Give a like..

[@tecumsehcristero]

Steel is iron and carbon. Iron is the pure metal. Steel IS NOT A PURER FORM OF IRON. IT'S ACTUALLY COMPLETELY OPPOSITE

[@jameswilson3156]

I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you for discovering and preserving history

[@76629online]

I only watch these videos for Phil’s commentary 😂

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thank you.

[@joshschneider9766]

Thanks!

[@paulmaxwell8851]

Steel is NOT a 'purer form of iron' It is an alloy, just as bronze or brass are. It's an alloy of iron and carbon. Of course, many other elements can be added to create other forms of steel, ie vanadium, chromium etc. in stainless steels.

[@keithlea6804]

In 1972 i was seven years old and sitting on my grandfather's bar stool in his shop. He told me mankind is alot older than the history books tell us. History is righten buy the Victor's. And if you want to find the truth dig for it. If you dont like the history you find dig deaper. Imagine if you coyld take a giant shop vacuum to the Sierra desert or around the pyramid in Egypt. Or if you could drain the oceans these are where the oldest civilization is. I was told this and alot more when i was seven . Thanks pops for opening my eyes and questioning everything through out my life.

[@samfiadrangus9188]

I take it your grandfather had no actual academic training.

[@corneliawissing7950]

@@samfiadrangus9188 , My grandparents had no actual academic training either, but they answered my questions, encouraged me to ask questions, and really opened my eyes and taught me to question. I achieved the actual academic training they did not have the opportunity or finances for, but it's thanks to them.

[@niklar55]

Time they fitted a chuck to their angle grinder to speed up the polishing process!

I'm only 4 minutes in... And may have to have my stomach pumped

If I did that, I'd be so hammered to the floor, you'd need geo-phys to find me.

God rest your souls mister and Mrs brown. Thanks for filling out the census lol

To see what this may have looked like, the two videos below show a working forge dating from 1775 in Sheffield kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWPbXpWkqtNpbaM and kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6K5ZJ2qoLaGm5Y I have visited the site of the forge which now looks much like the wood in Derwentcote even though it was only demolished in 1953 I would love to see the Sheffield site viseted by Time Teamto see if they could reconstruct what we know it was like as seen in the second video

[@gullrock14]

Is Phil a pirate? Sounds like it. Harrrrr...

[@aaropajari7058]

His is a local Oxfordshire accent. Sounds similar to the West Country accent they speak in Devon and Cornwall...where the 'pirates accent' came from.

Wait, is this new???!?

Hello

[@forrestgreene1139]

Hey.

[@vincentmiller7813]

I look for history before history and find most "myths" include the first people came from the stars and always from the sea,as they were half man half fish then I wonder about some moons in our area that are covered by ice yet under is oceans of water,,,,,,,are the 'fish people" still there?Were they ever from there or did they set up a base where the water is?

Steel is not purer ... it is ALLOY silly dunce.

[@PlayNiceFolks]

Your definition of steel is wrong. A copy and paste from an online dictionary would have been better than what you said, which makes me suspect of anything else produced on this channel.

[@newmoon54]

Geeeezzz Loueeeezzz!!!!! keep yer traps shut you ~NO -it all's~ Zippppp ittttt~!~

[@IMADALBASRII]

Am leaving any channel showing ads in their videos am sick And ask every one to fight Google garbage ads

[@ProusePotteryandSoap]

Don't be so cheap and actually pay for it

[@callumshiell2626]

Just skip too the end and restart the video ?

[@agcons]

@@callumshiell2626 It's probably too much work.

[@PlayNiceFolks]

So self entitled. Y'all think everything thing should be completely free, no matter the cost of production for the media you consume. Absolutely mind blowing.

[@Colin-Fenix]

I don’t appreciate that Timeline has added these History Hits advertisements with Dan Snow to all their videos and I am considering canceling my subscription since I pay extra for Premium KZbin to avoid ads. I am not interested in Dan’s new channel and I consider his ads a waster of my time and am offended that they have gotten around the removal of ads to Premium subscribers by adding ads at the beginning of every video. Sure, I can and do fast-forward past Dan, but I don’t appreciate it and therefore every video, regardless of quality of content, will get a thumbs down from now on.

[@captainnathan1651]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sorry mates.
