Was This A Citadel For The Ancient Kings Of Cornwall? | Extreme Archaeology | Unearthed History

Tintagel Castle is a rocky outcrop on the Cornish coast which has long been associated with the legends of King Arthur and Merlin. The Extreme Archeology team need to negotiate the rocky cliff faces to discover the truth about this site.

The self proclaimed “leader” of this expedition telling the geophysicist that she has wasted her time was uncalled for and completely unprofessional, he is absolutely why this show didn’t last more than one season. Crying worthy

Cringe* worthy

Total ass. Pretty sure he wouldn't have said that to a man, like John Gater for example.

Mmm, I would have to agree - to a point. Geophysis do tend to get a hard time from archeologists, most often because they lack the experienced eye to quickly interpret what they are looking at. The series was recorded quite some time ago, and sadly a fair amount of misogynist attitude and thinking was still in evidence, resulting in the rude, unprofessional and dismissive comments we witness here. I would like to believe that this situation is now less common, but centuries of male dominance is difficult to eradicate completely :(

​@@MrTorleon..... this has NOTHING to do with Misogyny.... That guy is just an ASSHOLE! Toxic thinking.

I wish KZbin would require descriptions to include the date a video was originally recorded not just the date it was posted! And while I’m griping, does anyone else find it irritating when people say they’ve “found some archaeology” on a site?

[@LeeGee]

I know this area very well. It is a lot scarier than it looks, and it looks scary. Kudos to all involved.

[@christinahand973]

Good grief, he’s obnoxious! Sends the women to do all the hard and dangerous work and then has the nerve to say, “the pottery shards WE’VE found” the stress on WE. And his attitude towards Meg’s efforts are entirely unacceptable especially from a bloke who has been resting on his posterior all day. If what she’s spent her time doing is worthless what value can we put on whatever he was doing?

[@gwynadams4069]

Completely agree! However, I'm glad she got to be there when the trench found a wall and pottery that placed it in the 5th century. Of course, he didn't apologize to her, but she did get the satisfaction that her expertise was validated.

Mansplaining Mark is a dud. Possibly worse than “sir Tony”.

[@jeffro202]

Thank you for these videos, it's hard to explain how edifying they are (compared to so much rubbish). I look forward to watching quality stuff like this at the end of a day's work.

[@archeanna1425]

The overly dramatic background music is so annoying. It's always a clue that the producer wasn't convinced that the story wouldn't be interesting enough.

Yes, he points out his out-dated perspective half-way through.

Alice Roberts is almost 60 years old now.

[@catherinepalun972]

Alice was born May 1973. So only in her early fifties.

Perhaps dmeinhertzhagen8764 is ten years in the future@@catherinepalun972

How many times do they want to recycle these old Docs.

Claiming that any hole drilled into rock must have been done after the start of the industrial revolution is perhaps the most idiotic thing this program has said. The ancient Anasazi in North America routinely drilled holes by hand and the drills still exist. The quarries where the stones that built the pyramids were cut have drill holes. Whether mechanical or by hand we do not know. The ancient quarries of the Inca have drill holes. Imagine being perfectly fine with the idea of a contraption to offload goods from a ship but denying the possibility of something so simple as a hole drilled by hand or contraption into stone. Don’t be stupid when you are professing expertise.🙄
