The Gresham Ship: What Can Archaeologists Uncover From This Tudor Shipwreck? | Digging For Britain

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I know it wasnt that happy little island or that Bigot simp from Avon. As Ive said before , even though I was snide and joking, still the jurists adored me and patriotically offered me a Georgetown scholarship for my answering a question that when asked what is the biggest symbol of tragedy in this queers dreadful play, I said, Italy, and the beneath adored me for saying things no other Italian had the guts to say about their happy little island's Virgil. All I know is that they never damned devotion to race or culture or creed when they make halo-ween costumed plays out of this queers plagiarism, and if anyone did go against me and voted in a segregationist, cretin, pollock, blue eyed bag man , despite my Roman warnings, well, that's your problem now as the word Bidennomics is sandblasted like the face of Severus, isn't it...Strange dear, but true dear, that I d fall for you dear....

Professor Roberts is as engaging as ever. An excellent dip into Shakespeare and Tudor England.

I’d love it if Dr Alice Roberts investigated how Hitlers Nazis took the Mont Saint Michael’s fortress! I can’t find this anywhere while videos & engineer s explain why the castle was Impenetrable! Well it wasn’t & Hitler built a rail road line to & off the tiny island in the wild ocean where quick sand, 25 ft tides and ancient fortress claims.

I'll be brief.. Great content, and she's amazing, I'll watch her read a phone book... 💖✨️✨️💖✨️✨️💖

You often, throughout the series, talk about research that has been published. Can I suggest that you actually give a link to the research or at least titles of the papers so that we can look them up?

Sad tht they uncover only to cover with a contemporary structure

This is a particularly good episode. Thankyou

how old do graves need to be before someone can digging them up .

I have to say I was thinking that this must have been filmed a long time ago, that she couldn't still be that beautiful today. I was wrong. She presented the series, Ancient Egypt by Train with Alice Roberts, in June of this year. She is as amazing in all ways as ever.

The Bardmen,Bradman Do Jugs get their name from the Bards Theatre Shakespear’s Bar ? Just one more thing I need to know 😂😂😂😂

Not wonderful. Heretically iconoclastic.

Too much evidence now points to Shakespeare being Italian

Did I miss the name of the excavated theater?

Cut your eyebrows man it’s not necessary for them to be that long

This is such a fascinating program. Alice Roberts always rocks. Thanks for making it available.

The most beautiful women ❤ the most beautiful brain ❤

These documentaries make me feel so excluded from my country's past! Every character featured is white while England is incredibly diverse. Such a shame.

Wow. Serendipity. A new theatre on the site of the Theatre, and in 2023. Thanks for the upload.

..''Really''?, ''Back in the Day'' - Americanisms..

Ahhhhh Alice.. U fed the soul.

Romeo and Juliet was based in Verona ... Verona is beautiful and the architecture is still mostly from the Renaissance period ... so much better than a water blogged hole in Shoreditch which will undoubtedly be covered over with a modern tower block in the coming months. Please don't don't suggest that the latter is where they were born ... although there is a theory that the story was based on a teenage couple from Essex who had eloped.
Anyway the long and short of this is if you want to see where Shakespeare's star crossed lovers lived go to Verona ... the local Roman amphitheatre still doubles up as a theatre. In fact go to Italy to see what Cinquecento culture was all about as it certainly isn't in some hole or sunken ship, Moreover the Tudors were second rate players with f all culture bar a few playwrights and some composers of marginal importance ...

Fantastic

Well done Alice for a great presentation of the archaeology of Tudor life. Although it is misleading to say that little is known about Will of Stratford, over 70 documents have been found relating to his life and business dealings. He was a very successful business man, a shareholder in the theatre, and he may have acted on the stage. Perhaps you were alluding to evidence about his life as a writer. There is absolutely no evidence that he was a writer. In fact no one during the coarse of his lifetime or in the years closely following his death said he was a writer, even though there are notebooks left from his son in law and a poet who lived at New Place, who comment on their admiration for poets of the age, who make no mention of Will of Stratford being a poet or writer of any sort. If you want to find the real Shakespeare the Tudor courts and the theatres are a good place to start, but you are on a path to nothing if you look in Stratford upon Avon. Nothing truer than truth.

Dr A could make the history of phone directories interesting.

I like how theft is described as wealth redistribution lol

When will they discover William Shakespeare was not a playwright, and never claimed to be? He was channeled by a brilliant medium in the 1950s and he said "I acted in the plays and I produced some of them, but I never wrote them!".

Time Team did a Special about the Shakespeare house dig in 2012. It is interesting to compare the two in terms of tv production and archaeology.

There is no documentary evidence that William Shakspere of Stratford-upon-Avon was an actor, and no documentary evidence, other than the name on title-pages, that he wrote the poems and plays. He was a shareholder in an acting company. There is no evidence that Elizabethan bought "tickets" to see a play; they put their pennies into a ceramic jar that was later smashed to retrieve the day's takings.

Romeo and Juliet is a fictious love story?

A charming, insightful, and informative communicator. Thank you.

As Philomena Cunk said these British nature and history hosts seem to do “a lot of walking”.

Bit disappointed In Alice Roberts, Columbus did not discover America in 1492, the land had been discovered by the Vikings 400 years earlier!

Bit of English propaganda, The Protestant Church does not have the head of State as head of the Church. This is an English only church and not Protestant.

Seems really wrong to cover it over and build a new building. Definitely don’t like that

Shakespeare ultimately got the story from an Italian from Vicenza called Luigi di Porto - the villa he owned can still be seen on the outskirts of Vicenza - there is actually a place called Montecchio from which the name "Montagu" comes from. Shakespeare got a lot of his stories from fashionable Italian Renaissance writers that had been translated into English -Bandello was a favorite source for many tales. Indeed Shakespeare seems to have been so familiar with things Italian that a theory has been put forward that these plays were written by John Florio and Italian migrant(or son of a migrant) who wrote the first Italian-English dictionary. I remember reading also after Chaucer, Shakespeare and one or two others Florio coined more new English words than anyone else!

Awesome. They're uncovering one of the most important historical sites in all London, and they've got just six weeks to do it!
Six weeks before Capitalism shouts a giant "F&CK YOU, HUMANITY!!" Because obviously, immediate profits are much more important than you, or me, or even William Shakespeare.

beautiful photography, fantastic history and another wonderful video by Dr. Roberts and crew. Thank you for the video

I love these episodes. I watch at least 1 a day!! Thanks for teaching a disabled old lay something new & interesting!!!!

🥰

the automated (?) subtitles and transcript show "cessation" monastery instead of Cistercian Monastery

To not even mention that Shakespeare was a pseudonym for a ghost writer is extremely disingenuous.

I have to admit that I have been listening to these series of show on Archeology because they are entertaining and interesting but also because I believe that the presenter is so gorgeous.

Yay! More engaging and fun science and history from my fav grrrrrl from the Time Team pits, Professor Alice Roberts! She bears a startling resemblance, even shares mannerisms, to my sister in law, (who my brother still cherishes after many decades of marriage 'cause she's gorgeous, smart and cool). Love these vids. Thanks for posting.

Thank you, Dr. Alice for another awesome look into Tudor English history. 😆🤗

still in love after all the years, what a perfect women.
