Cool video on mediaeval construction

Wow, no metal, no masonry, I’m so curious to watch the rest of this. Thoughts?

Well there’s smoke in it all the time and it’s more of a survival thing.

Also it’s AI slop, partly accurate info and partly hallucination. Still, really beautiful images in there. And I learned of a construction style I hadn’t known about.

Anyone have a better resource on Saxon pit construction?

Yeah, I get it. There's an exponential increase in AI slopumentaries. While they seem quite interesting at first glance, after I mull over the content I find them damnably irritating because so many things are incorrect or omitted or misunderstood. They sacrifice useful knowledge in favour of a slick narrative (product) that sells clicks and views. This is truly toxic ultra-processed mind food.

The link in the first post seems to be broken, but the playlist works for me.
