Watch the full history on BBC Select: bit.ly/4dqCne6
Castles have always been romanticized, especially in Britain.

Historian Sam Willis looks at Britain’s castles from weapons of conquest to fuel for literature and national identity.

    "All life comes from a single moment of creation. Some 3.8 billion years ago in some bubbling mud pot or deep ocean thermal vent. Some little bag of chemicals twitched and became animate and than miraculously reproduced itself. Everything that lives now on earth, or ever has lived, descends from that moment. We are all built from a single original blueprint. I don't believe there is a more important or remarkable fact in the natural world, indeed in any world, then that one." ~Bill Bryson

    Like many of the plots where the bad guys succeed, there are an abundance of mistakes on the good guys part. Lots of opportunities to disrupt this and other attacks but things slip through the cracks. Thank goodness for the ones we don’t hear about because they’re thwarted before getting to this point.

    TAKE NOTICE that the BBC narrator says that most of the Bonsai caretakers are men but they chose a woman to highlight. No surprise, it’s the BBC and their leftist agenda. It will never end with the woke. Agenda before anything else? What do you think? Indoctrination seems to be complete. Just do a documentary-not focus on the exceptions that happen to support your childish intersectionality chart. Be professionals, not SJWs. If there was a craft that women historically did-literally for centuries, I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT THE BBC WOULD NEVER SEEK OUT THE EXCEPTION TO HIGHLIGHT A MAN DOING IT. So, it’s a political agenda at work. Subtle propaganda at work. In my opinion, it’s pure evil.

    What joy these people will have, when the resurrection that Christ Jesus foretold, and William Tyndale championed, takes place. John 5:28,29 Where each one can enjoy building their own homes, using their hands to the full, sitting in the shade of their own vine and fig trees, where no one will ever make them afraid again. Isaiah 65:21,22 Micah 4:3,4 Did not Christ Jesus himself provided foregleams of his rulership of this world, when he feed the hungry, cured the sick and deformed, calmed extreme weather, and even resurrected dead loved ones? Matthew 15:30,31 Mark 4:37-41, Luke 8:49-56 Never again will they be abused by corrupt human governments. Daniel 2:44, Revelation 19:17-21

    When the cares of the world and the pettiness of others wears me down, it's good to ponder deeper questions. I hope i live to see the day when they work out exactly how not-life not-animate became life, and began the long journey to today's massive diversity of living things. Most people worry about bread and butter, what's on TV, or who won the game, and not much else. Not about how life began.

    England was not the center of the world. There are cultures way beyond England. Take China, for example, with their Forbidden City, the Arabs who had dominion over Spain and had technology that the European cities only developed many, many centuries later. Also, poverty at that time happened due to the monarchy system. Sorry!!! 🥲🥲🥲
