ELIZABETH DALE 'The Cornish Bird' joins The Prehisitory Guys UNPLUGGED LIVE - 2nd MAR 8:00 PM

[@ruthcherry3177]

Thank you, thank you so much Rupert and Michael, but especially Elizabeth for joining you both. Please never worry about going on for too long - we can always watch later, pause, or even clean the kitchen while watching. Only one, very polite request: Michael, please, please, please stop interrupting Rupert when he's in full stream, saying something VERY INTERESTING, because you want to say "hi!" to someone... I, for one, would have loved, on many occasions, to hear what he had to say. I do understand that there is a time lag, so maybe acknowledging people via a text/GIF on screen, rather than interrupting so frequently, would be less distracting. That's not to take anything away from your obvious knowledge, skills as a photographer, film director, creator, and editor. I particularly appreciate your short films

Nice to see the Cornish Bird again - thanks Elizabeth

[@JHaven-lg7lj]

As usual I won’t be able to watch this for at least a week but it’s something I look forward to so much - over 2 hours of the prehistory guys! Thanks as always for your amazing content.

[@badgerpa9]

I have followed Elizabeth since your interview about 2 years ago.

[@dianespears6057]

Lizzie is always interesting. Thank you.

Good evening from the SF Bay Area, 10:30 PM Friday, totally enjoyed the hot off the press news!

[@reubenaberlin]

Fantastic as always!

Your Neolithic journey sounds amazing. A request: as you travel, please will you explain / note what the climate / weather and sea levels were doing at the time, and how those factors affected / influenced how / why people travelled and lived?

It's worth catching the Podcast extras at the end of the In Our Time on megaliths. Julian does mention cattle rustling/ management. I wish they'd had David Jaques on, even if megaliths aren't his thing. If it was happening before the stones (as he visualises in the Stonehenge area,) you can be sure it was after they were erected. I look forward to Prehistory Guys getting him to flesh that out before the venerable Melvin Bragg 😊

Is there a specific tool or technique to remove the "tails" from pounded sinew cordage? I've clipped them but they're sharp and abandoned that. Now I draw the cord repeatedly over the edge of a thin piece of wood till they are frayed then singe the cord till they burn away. Wears well after that. I adopted it from the braintanning process of drawing the hide over taut rope, the rope gets pretty smooth after a few hides.

[@napalmholocaust9093]

The tails are from adding to a braid if it was not clear, I guess not if I'm already adding.

"In our time" has a regular youtube channel for it's recordings.

Omitted was the fact that the rectangular site KAH is aligned due north . Arcturis is in the Great Bear which is next to the central pivot of North that all revolves around .Another meaning of the name Arthur is Bear .The reflective still water mirrors the stars above .

[@ThePrehistoryGuys]

Arcturus is in the constellation Bootes. R

Love your beard…

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Rupert/Michael, if you are ever looking for a guest on the show, I will come on. Thanks, Martin.

[@ThePrehistoryGuys]

King Alfred's hall. A "Quadrilateral" as in Carnac region France?

[@franksandhamable]

Arthur's oops!

[@alebubu101]

Also, fun fact about Obsidian - during the Spanish conquest of Mesoamerica, the natives used more or less a “sword” of obsidian called a Macuahuitl. Chroniclers of the conquistadors recount witnessing these obsidian weapons easily decapitating men, and were even rumored to cut through neck of a horse in a single blow.

[@alebubu101]

I thought the OG tin mines in Cornwall were originally kick started by the Phoenicians. Or are these ingots recovered in the Levant/Greece before even them?

[@jennifermirdamadi4894]

Obsidian is sharp but maybe too brittle for cutting bone? Need something durable.

[@simonstergaard]

so when will you get a decent webcam

[@ThePrehistoryGuys]

It's not the camera, it's the wifi down here in the mountains. R

We were taught that Romans didn’t come to Wales. Ignoring gold mines, Sarn Helen, Druidic battles across Menai Straits, Caerleon etc and now villas. I think Scots were taught similarly about north of Hadrian’s Wall forget the Antonine Wall.

[@johnbooth3073]

I once had an argument with a Welshman who said that Offa was a Welsh king who built Offa’s Dyke to keep the English out of Wales. ( He had been taught this at school ). We’re you not told about the military leader Caradoc who lead the Welsh Briton tribes against the Romans ? I know he was an Essex boy but he fought the Romans well from Essex to Wales and then the North West of England until handed over to the Romans; taken to Rome as a prisoner and later pardoned . Tacitus the Roman historian covered this.
