The Top 10 Most Immersive Historical Movies of All Time

The Castle Builders: Masters & Masons - How Medieval Castles Were Built

Castles – citadels of world heritage. All over Europe, millions flock to see these masterpieces in stone.

They are drawn by the astonishing scale of construction – and by a sense of a lost world of heroism and chivalry. But castles are more than magnificent monuments to a past that’s dead and gone. They hold the key to understanding a crucial period in the growth of our civilisation.

In this video, we’ll see how some of the great castles of Europe were built, and how the ideas and techniques behind their construction changed and developed in a few short centuries. Kings and barons found the resources and manpower to start building castles, and spent fortunes on finishing them – and all of this happened at on a huge scale, at a frenetic pace, and often in the heart of hostile territory.

We’ll meet the Castle Builders – the labourers and masons who did the hard work; the geniuses of design who imagined them, the structural engineers who turned them into reality; and the kings and barons who commissioned them and lived in them.

We’ll travel from Richard the Lionheart’s astonishing Chateau Gauillard in Normandy to the ‘layered’ defences of Caerphilly – the first castle in Britain built to be defended by walls within walls – and around Edward I’s massive ‘ring of iron’ that gripped North Wales.

Large-scale dramatic reconstructions and state-of-the-art computer graphics will give us a thrilling sense of how all of these mediaeval mega-structures were designed and built.

Evolution of the Prehistoric Human Diet

Before agriculture was invented, before animals had been domesticated, and way before people started traveling by boats or conquering empires, our early ancestors lived in the Paleolithic era as hunter-gatherers. The lineage homo lived during the period between 2.5 million to about 12,000 years ago—a period also known as the Stone Age. For millions of years, in this environment hunter-gatherer group of ancient hominins such as Homo habilis or Homo erectus and later Homo sapiens ate foods that they could find in nature.

The dependency that our homo lineage evolved with nature for millions of years still remains within us—it is woven into the fabric of our genes. With this said what they evolved to eat remains relevant. And even though it’s impossible to ever re-create a true Paleolithic diet since many of the plants and animals that our prehistoric ancestors were consuming have long gone extinct, plenty remains to be learned from the prehistoric human diet. We can learn about the foods we ought to be avoiding and just as important about the foods Mother Nature intended for us to eat.
