Tony Robinson presents a series examining some of history's least pleasant employment opportunities. He begins in the first millennium, trying his hand at everyday tasks including back-breaking mining by ancient Roman methods, and Saxon ploughing using wooden implements and oxen. He also enters the world of the Viking egg collector, which involved scaling cliff faces in search of guillemot eggs

Smartest people on earth my a. He didnt even think of standing on the plow. Why would fire be any different then than now? Four hours for what? People had Cobb as a building material for literally more than 10, 000 years that did not involve dung so I seriously doubt they used it. Dung is not needed, Cobb work hardens on its own. Anyone who has ever worked this material learns this instinctively. Why wouldnt the monks just make their own furniture. Youre trying to tell me they just sat there helpless all their lives. I could whittle a chair with my teeth if I had to. Why would the Vikings use four day old fish? They were expert fishermen, in the Middle Ages there was plenty of fish everywhere. Four day old fish is just another dumb tactic to make us think life back then was terrible, it wasnt. People were healthier then than now for all the incredible obvious reasons that any thinking person can deduce on their own.

Jobs sucked for the ones who have to make a living. Those that owned the businesses and mines had it good. And always will. It's the way of things. Even if robots and ai take over most everything we won't get paid to enjoy lives of luxury for nothing. We may get out basic needs met but there will always be rich and poor. If we all were rich then the rich wouldn't feel privileged anymore. That's what they really want to keep that divide it's everything to them

One 6th century peasant plowing his field says to his fellow field worker, Aye Mate, me had a vision of the far future, 2 blokes cramped into the area of one of our chickens roosts, they sit most of the day in front of little boxes, staring at them, so they may buy week old food and bread in the towne for to eat. And never a day comes they can stray or not pay the lord of the land for this privilege.

Without refridgeration, they would have to have fresh eggs every two-three days.
I doubt it. Chicken eggs, which are not washed with the modern commercial process (that removes a natural protective wax, will last many weeks unrefrigerated. I doubt the bird eggs would be much different.
Then there are other options like pickling.

reply

And, without refrigeration, they'd need fresh eggs at least every 2 to 3 days.
Don't be ridiculous. Fresh eggs keep for months in a cellar. Pickle them in vinegar, and they'll keep for YEARS. Surely, medieval people would have known this.

There's stretch of ' neutral ground ' in New Orleans that used to be a canal.
There's a Celtic cross memorial to the Irish who dug the canal.
Apparently something like 40, 000 died.
Just for it to be filled back in again.

The type of work horse that we think of today was nothing like the way they were back then. Oxen are more abundant and extremely stronger, they won't buck and jump over fences or thongs like that, its all around a much better choice.

I'm fascinated by who was the first person who figured out that adding dung to their mud before slapping it onto their wall would reduce the cracking and crumbling that would happen if they just used straight mud.

Genuine question. why are mines hotter inside when caves are usually around the same temperature year round I have been I mine in texas just at the entrance about 10ft in and it was way cooler the the outside air

Now people argue about diversity, wimins rights, a thousand different genders and other nonsense. Maybe if people had to spend a week or two simply struggling to survive they might become sane again.

I saw an advert yesterday that called Tony Robinson a _top historian; _ In truth, he's NOT a historian. He just played Baldrick. He's no more a historian, than Leonard Nimoy was a science officer.

. So I was listening to this while playing my game, and this put quite the image in my mind between the two grunting men accentuated by splattering noises.

I've been to a few living history museums in both the UK and US, its always interesting to see the kinda strange things people did to try to have a halfway decent life

(Thank you for the video)

reply

And as a cleaner in a pub I felt sorry for myself the other day when someone had spewed in a sink and blocked it Hopefully that will not happen again LOL.

When it comes to the worst jobs in history, some pharaohs apparently drank lion milk, and one could only imagine the hazards of milking those lions.
reply

When you start with conclusions and work to prove them you get episodes like this. The irony is they even make the point themselves with the arthur stuff.

I took your suggestion and tried close captioning. Yet at 34: 19 the music was so loud the captioning read writing ties the eyes where is the [music].
