Oh and it was really great to see John Lord in it Flint Knapping!Such a sound guy, I've been taught & made tools alongside him, you can see him at work part way through this video I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-ZFPJZoBPo
Lovely to see John Lord paddling a coracle, setting up camp using deer hides to make a shelter and making fire using the bow-drill.
No worries. Glad you like it. I enjoy the way the journey of homonids is followed from actual archaelogical facts rather than speculation. The presentation of these in chronological order, together with the changing environment totally gripped me. Especially the idea of our cousins and how they devoloped skills and stone age technologies independent to homo sapien. Would love to have met Neanderthal...Too bad our species has a natural instinct of disregard for other species in our conquest of the planet. It seems since we first left Africa 100,000 years ago all competition in our locale was, and still is, to be made the enemy and to be extinguished without hesitation....Originally Posted by Ashley Cawley
I love how it's focusing on primitive-man, his tools & survival whilst living on a varying landscape with different flora & fauna.
Looking forward to watching episode 2! Thanks for reminding me about this one Phil
Sorry, wafflin agin!!
Great series tho, can't wait for the next installment
Ahhh. I missed them and they are not available any more. I'm sure they will be repeated soon though.
Watched episode 2 and Will Lord was in it! John's Son...
He made a lovely Ash bow, flint-tipped arrows, it was amazing to see the power of the bow; how deep & efficiently the arrows penetrated that pig!
Enjoying this series!
Will's a top bloke and a good mate, his skills are awesome. He looks and sounds more and more like his dad big time lol.
