How To Build A Medieval Castle From Scratch | Secrets Of The Castle | Timeline

Love to see this, but just for proper context some much larger castles would be built in 11th century would be built in 3years useing 2500 personal

Ruth and the boys have made some amazing programs. I prefer the older periods more so this is one of my favorites, but all of the farm periods are great as well.

I like how no one says castle were made by aliens. Just all the stuff built outside of Europe

We are - there’s already a castle construction in Stobnica, Poland underway

New series 😏

This video answered so very many questions ive always had everytime I visit a medieval castle in europe. Im gonna need watch this again.

WOW! This show is shut the front door awesome. I so could be a part of this.

This is just so wonderful series. I do love how the effort can be felt while watching. It's not a simple thing to build a freaking castle. Big up! +1+1+1+1

I knew I recognized the narrator's voice! I was not expecting to see Paul Mcgann's name in the final credits haha

I would’ve loved to been a part of this!

Loved the video. Most of it anyway that woman was repulsive as all get out. Fn annoying. Teach the history without theatrics and exaggerated facial expressions of a teenager drama queen

Poorly organized by the channel moderators... episodes are not numbered within the title... no obvious playlist on the platform's channel. C'mon guys... honor this series by at least making it a bit more orderly in the most basic of ways.

Kind of cool how they orient the grains of the stone in the walls the same way the plies are oriented at 45 degrees to each other in modern composite structures. Some tricks are as old as time.

Peter .. please give me your address so that I can send enough money to get your hair washed

Ploicvertlop !

I'm sure I've never heard someone speak so gloriously of a chalk-line. This series was riveting. Such a group of artisans, educators, creators, historians...Simply lovely.

Even today on some modern projects you will see people using things like ochre lines. I smiled when I saw they had a 3,4,5 right triangle made of twine. 😊

This is awesome. Thank you.

What an absolute pleasure to watch

Really a shame they never continued on with this. It would have been nice to see it finished.

this just makes one greatfull about the 5 day work week

My Ancestors built the great Pyramids,even thp the French tried to steal and destroy as much as they could . Not one castle can compare to the size and greatness of African Pyramids. This facts ask your archeologicalist.

Her putting the floor in ,when it was time to replace she probably heard "Redo the floor winch!"Lol

Awesome !

Absolutely great you guys, all school kids should be there to learn all over the World.

They should use modern tools to finish faster!

We've lost a lot since middle age

And thanks to the workers on this project it was easier to find help when they restore Sacre Ceur in Paris after the fire.

I love any series with Ruth and Peter. About the hovel flooring, I'm wondering if the reeds were more like a simple mat versus a sort of nest. We do have art showing reed mats plaited for castle floors that were replaced twice a year, the same people weaving those mats would be using those reeds in their home. Maybe keeping them in small bundles as Ruth suggests, but also tying them together so they aren't flopping around everywhere, but not taking as much time as actual plaiting together as would be required for a lord's castle.

🤔

Here from the Tom Scott video about the treadmill cranes. Marvelous work!

WHY?

Absolutely kept me at the edge of my chair. I always reflect on the 7 basic simple tools that I learned about, 'way back when and it still rings true to today. This castle building is indeed fascinating.

When they made the cabinet out of wood, they used modern planks and saws...

I can't imagine doing this with such a small team.

Very fine educational & entertaining content on the web...

I have a friend in France who powderizes land dress and uses it in his chicken spice blend.

so, generally as a matter of practice were the biggest, beefiest men put to run the treadmill crane ?

It's funny how you get into something like this and imagine actually living like this, then they pan up to the sky, and there you see a contrail. lol

We just enjoy being like the medieval times men for a bit of time, but what the life really would have been they tasted then ! even the modern comforts can not satisfy our feelings,,

so this what French people do for a living

I just wonder, how do these guys do this while also having to do personal life work in order to not starve or become homeless, are they being paid by anyone?

At least the French are teaching something other then how to surrender.

Fascinating! Thank you!

Precocious little scamps

If that treadmilll crane can only lift half a ton, how were the Balbeck monoliths weighing thousands of tons lifted, transported and raised into position
