A point about statues

[WritingFighter]

You need to become a host on the History Channel with your own show.

Good video, good luck with more.

[dontcommentmehoe]

Wow. This reminds me of my art history class because in that class we learned the exactly what you said.

[MasterGravitron]

I couldn't hear a thing, you should over dub this.

[ShanksAndy]

This video reminded me of an article I read once about a find of stone knives or swords. Unfortunately, I can't find the article now, but the gist was that the shape was all wrong for stone blades, and they'd break if you tried to cut anything with them, but it was a good shape for metal blades. The theory was that the really important people had metal blades and the people who couldn't afford metal had stone imitations made.

@ShanksAndy In the early days of new materials, the new items use the shape appropriate to the old materials, so the first metal knives look like stone ones. Today we still make plastic laundry baskets to look as if they were woven. Yes, many artefacts that survive are ceremonial.

I learn something new from every one of your videos! It goes without saying British Indiana Jones is the best teacher out there.

[S4B3R117]

Wow, I never thought about it like that. I'll have to look at some of the picture I took last time I was at a museum and see if I can spot any.

Great vid as usual mate.

A point about microphones:  wear one.

[lindybeige]

@JamesTCA A radio mike? That's a jump up from the technology I have at present. One day, perhaps.

I love the Man of Irony title =)

[PsykoOps]

Next time hold the camera yourself so we can hear you. We dont always have to see you to understand the point :)

[ReligionSickensMe616]

after you last video about people not seeing the world properly because they have sunglasses on i cant help but chuckle at the fact the woman in the white shirt behind you at 1:00 is wearing sunglasses indoors

[archis84]

Same thing with David statue, there is also a support by his right leg.

[Yrie27]

This is the first time I can say this about any of your videos: I actually knew that ^^

[wesmatron]

I imagine many fine statues ended up as cannon

[Skullchaser08]

Most of them probably didn't even make it that far.

[FlyingAxblade]

i am a fan of Doc Savage, he was like the first Buckaroo Bonzai...in a roundabout fashion

[mastrama13]

Informative! Thanks!

[HarbingerRomanus]

another great vid lloyd!

[GreenEyedSerb]

I love how the old ladies act in the background when Lindy is doing the "dramatic" pose.

[23penguins32]

It could bring one to tears to think too much on what we've lost to time...

Isn't 'Man of Irony' done each time you upload a post ? ;)

Nice one. The guard behind you looked like a grumpy old so-and-so.

[the26thhour]

A point about your vids: I now understand why people's eyes begin to glaze over whilst I'm talking... though at least you do it for the video's sake - sadly, I'm on autopilot 8(

[NoisemakerArrow]

@the26thhour I get that reaction from most people too.

[3027085]

it in deed looks very interesting once again, but unfortunately until 1:10 it's close to impossible to understand anything. :(

[lindybeige]

@3027085 Not a lot I can do about echoes, alas. In my headphones I can hear what I'm saying, but of course I have the natural advantage of knowing what I said at the time.

@lindybeige

Have you considered adding subtitles in the more difficult-to-hear sections?
