PREHISTORY SHOW #2 | Bruce Bradley | Arthur's Stone | Seamas Carey wishes he was a standing stone!

[Music] so [Music] hello folks so this month as ever we're bringing you archaeological news from around the world yeah we are we've got some fantastic discoveries this month actually we're from mexico ireland france israel china and we're catching up with our friend bruce bradley professor bruce bradley over in colorado to find out what he's been up to you can't really get much more around the world than that can you no you can't really and um what else have we got uh yeah we'll be going out and about again to show you a few places that you've probably never heard of before and uh well who's going to be our new stonehead of the month i'm afraid you'll have to wait till a bit later on to find that out and of course we will finish the show with something a little whimsical rather a lot to get through so we better get cracking mind you on the other hand before we do as we're recording this we're fast approaching the 20 000 subscribers we are on youtube and by the time you're watching this i fully expect that we've passed that number so thank you thank you thank you to all of you that have uh subscribed if you haven't yet don't forget to like and subscribe down below so anyway having said that let's get cracking now shall we so what's first up in the newsroom first up major discovery in mexico it's a team led by dr cyprian ardelian from the university of zacatecas in mexico they have found nearly 2 000 stone tools embedded in a matrix that they have dated to between 25 and 33 000 years old that's pushing back the history of humans in the americas around 15 000 years that's almost doubling the length of time that humans have been thought to have been in the americas so should we just uh take a moment there i think we should to just muse ponder on that doubling the length of time that humans have been thought to have been in the americas uh it is just major and i can't help but think that that's maybe going to ruffle a few feathers perhaps i do think so yeah it's huge excavations have been going on um at the it's the chiqui huite cave uh i think i've got that right in central mexico um excavations have been going on there since 2012. so the publication of this paper is the culmination of just a massive amount of work um now intriguingly of all the tools found only 239 of them were deeply embedded in the oldest layers and dr ardelian believes that that shows that this wasn't a permanent dwelling but probably a seasonal shelter with people coming and going over long periods of time did you did you know that uh the media have been referring to the this as a as a as a hotel as a prehistoric hotel of course they have [Laughter] what can you say but so now obviously the the findings have of course a lot of controversy well they would wouldn't they uh so it's going to be interesting to see what people are saying over the next few weeks but you know maybe we should try to get dr ardelian on for an interview to tell us more about the research well what would be interesting also is get dr ardelian and his professor on for a elongated interview about this because his professor happens to be or you know that he did his phd under was professor bruce bradley he was he was later on anyway moving on that is a very good idea um meanwhile this news is that a um a huge complex of enclosures and mounds have been found in navin in county arma in ireland teams from queens university belfast and the university of aberdeen have been working together using various ground penetrating techniques and we've got an interview coming up with a guy responsible in this part of the world at least for uh penetrating techniques um uh vince gaffney got an interview with him uh coming up soon so watch out for that uh anyway the res the surveys have revealed a remarkable group of monuments which they think are iron age but true to form without so much as a spade being put in the ground they have announced that this is a major religious site in fact dr patty gleeson from the belfast team said they are ritual buildings constructed to be temples hmm he did sway regardless of uh premature interpretations did you write that rupert i'm sorry i did it is certainly true that this is a significant find two figures of eight buildings in a huge figure of eight enclosure the scans also suggest that these could be palisaded i.e they're lined or bordered by massive timber posts very interesting um obviously that will be a very costly excavation project so let's hope they can manage to get the neces necessary funding so we can find out what's hiding in the earth there yeah it is amazing discovery actually yeah yeah uh well hey i've got one here uh that this is right this is another pushing back the boundaries piece and this time it's about string yay string we love string yeah string some of you may have seen in the news last year actually the evidence had been found for 13 800 year old rope in france well we did a piece about it didn't we indeed we did do a piece about it yeah um and this discovery from the french national center for scientific research is more rope um and the thing is well it's string really string or thread and this time it's the work of neanderthals found in a cave in the ardesh region of southern france and really this is a testament to the skills of the researchers because every artifact the team find they examine under the microscope i'll say that again every single thing that they find they examine under the microscope if it's a relevant piece they can see that a tiny piece of flint has been worked they look at it under the microscope and on one small piece of flint they found a tiny beautifully preserved piece of cordage it's six millimeters long and half a millimeter wide so you know that's off to them for science but it's dated to a staggering 40 000 years old and now it's important to remember here this is the work of neanderthals who always consider to be considerably less sophisticated than homo sapiens but this is a finely braided piece of thread made from tree fibers yeah i mean it's a one it's a wonder why we do that i mean it's another conversation entirely why we tend to uh or historically we've denigrated neanderthals but uh this is extraordinary fantastic find and using the word find is interesting so often used and just i mean reiterate what you know you've just said as as well that using that word find um is doesn't do service to the actual finding work the actual digging the actual excavating that goes on because it has to be go on at such a granule painstaking level to enable people back you know looking at stuff under microscopes and analyzing stuff to be able to extricate this kind of detail um it just speaks to you know the work that field archaeologists do just thought i'd mention that anyway but as you say i bet it's fantastic and it takes our evidence for cordage from 14 to 40 000 years in a matter of months it does it except i'm going to upset it again now because then another discovery was made in israel and more or less at the same time this discovery was made in israel and it makes that last discovery seem almost recent uh this is a team led by um archaeologist daniela barr joseph mayer from tel aviv university and they found a number of naturally perforated shells so you know shells that have just had holes worn in them from movement of water or whatever anyway the thing is that these shells were discovered beneath some human burials in the cavse cave in northern israel and they had marks around the holes which indicated that they had been strung um now you know the court itself is long gone um long periods but but they looked at the holes and analysis showed that if you arranged them uh as if they were a necklace then the other marks on the shelves all coincided with where the marks would have been as if they'd been on a necklace and they were banging against each other when they were being worn and that's you know that's an astonishing matching up of the of the marks on the shelves but the thing is that they've been dated to a minimum 120 000 years old oh my goodness and do you know what you know you talking about that bit of cordage and that um and those shells banging against each other it just struck me that you really don't get that kind of uh humanizing of an artifact that they threw around somebody's neck or on somebody's chest that that banging together with the shells the idea of movement going on it so humanizes it and then from 120 000 years ago you just staggered it's when it becomes personal that everything changes yeah yeah yeah so what you know we're just illustrating it aren't we really amazing diversity of archaeological research going on around the world so right that said i'm taking this right over to china now where a 3 200 year old bronze age settlement has been discovered on the silk road in present-day ching chang archaeologists found the remains of the ancient community almost by accident when they were working on a group of thirty two thousand year old tombs thirty two thousand year old tombs thirty two yes 30 tombs of 2000 years in age there you go i didn't misread the older settlement was found about 50 centimeters beneath the tombs and is fairly extensive it's about 500 square meters and it contains a number of buildings they've uncovered lots of pieces of ceramics and animal bones including cows sheep horses and antelopes but it just shows how the smallest detail can make such huge such a huge difference the bronze age site was only discovered because someone noticed that the soil around one of the graves was different from the others again hawkeye that one's a work in progress and um and we'll see what emerges and that for now is the news so romping on it's time for pre-history people yes it's time for pre-history people when we take a look behind the scenes to have a look see what uh archaeologists and prehistorians are doing out of the public eye uh yeah so it occurred to us that we hadn't spoken to our friend professor bruce bradley for a while uh since we interviewed him uh back at the beginning of the year it's true is when he was just disappearing to do some field work in south america yeah bruce is a world-renowned uh experimental archaeologist and he's a lithics expert his flint napping has to be seen to be believed he really does and he's worked all over the world from crow canyon to kazakhstan and alaska down to arizona so we called him up at his home in colorado to ask him what he's up to at the moment bruce it's good to see you and thank you so much for joining us again it's been ages since we spoke the last time we spoke was you were just about to head off to south america which was uh way back at the beginning of the year so have you been what are you up to uh what what's taking up your time what's really firing you up at the moment just you know what's happening for you at the moment well there's several different things i didn't make my trips to south america i had two trips managed to leave uruguay two days before the whole place shut down but had successful trips in both cases both to brazil and to uruguay uh working with colleagues on different projects down there right and with my colleague in uruguay rafael suarez i'm doing a lot of work now with him from colorado um and that involves a lot of flint knapping we're doing replica work uh on a particular topic and in material uh called fishtail fishtail culture et cetera which is one of the earliest in the southern crown in south america and i've now got over 139 well exactly 139 replicas that i've done of those particular things the purpose of doing the replica is is so that you can get as close as you can to replicating the the stars so you've got a deeper understanding of what they yeah okay yeah it's not just the style it's the whole flaking process yeah and um we've got the archaeological materials that we're comparing it to and we keep sort of tweaking the process and it's really really interesting because it it looks the same like they're doing the same thing all the way from central america to the southern cone of south america at the same time i mean down to the details of how they're selecting the platforms for their flakes etc so it's very very much like clovis in that respect and it is a fluted point as well and what sort of period are we talking about pardon what sort of period are we talking about here uh we're talking about uh about 12 000 years ago wow okay twelve thousand twelve thousand five hundred years ago uh but it's it's it's hemisphere wide or well almost hemisphere it goes from probably it's related to some materials in florida and goes all the way down to the southern tip of uh argentina wow so and seems to be virtually the same thing all the way see so it's a real curiosity again how does that happen yeah so that's that's a lot of fun um the project i'm doing is braz in brazil is is related to that it's a little different but it's related to that as well and then of course i'm i'm continuing to do excavations on my site here the chaco outlier great house site yes is your home near the site that you're working yeah we're about 15 20 minutes drive away perfect and we own the we own the site and the property so you know it's at our disposal and that that's turned out to be really interesting we've got a very small crew of volunteers that works with us we work four days a week we're now not working uh july and august we've taken off because it's too hot really and why you know why go out and hurt ourselves you know so um but we're gonna start again in in september and work september october on that uh and in the meantime we do all the processing and laboratory work et cetera et cetera as we go along so so um that's keeping me really busy um i'm going to be you you do involve yourself in the processing itself you know oh yeah sure we have one day a week with our volunteers come over to our house and we do washing and cataloging and all that sort of stuff um i'm in the process of being appointed visiting professor at jalen university in north china um and i'm planning to get back there i'm going to be doing this fall i'm going to be doing some online lectures for them and then hopefully next year i'll be able to get back into another workshop so okay fine so so just slowing things down a bit being more selective doing what's fun that's extraordinary so wow so in fact since we last spoke you've just been busier than ever then really yeah yeah pretty much uh but then also working on gardens and doing things around the place and enjoying life and you know whatever being retired you know yeah yeah who wants to retire yes that's just no good at all so okay so that's amazing so you're you're based at you're based in colorado you're staying in colorado then until uh until foreseeable right sure sure this is our home and we have family here so yeah yeah yeah well you know i mean it's it's always fantastic to catch up with you um and what can i say i think you know just keep us posted let us know what's happening down there we're still hoping that we're going to get over a visit at some point well i hope you will too when is possible again yes and i think you know if we can talk to you again because it's important because we've got a whole new raft of of listeners and audiences grown so hugely and uh uh i think more than 50 percent of them are over your side of the atlantic now yes so keeping people informed and up to date with what you're up to is you know from our point of view it's just uh fantastic it keeps our feet around he does i enjoy it i really enjoy your work and and what we do and why not that's great thank you so much well listen we'll we'll keep in touch and um please do please do i'd get busy and don't think to contact you so feel free to contact me anytime thanks so much bruce will you take good care i'll see you again soon nice talking with you cheers now bye okay moving on now some of you might remember that last month michael took you down the road to have a look at some of the pre-history on his own doorstep but today we're going a bit further afield um i'm heading due west you know the odd thing is although i can step out of my back door you know and be amongst neolithic monuments they're not the sort that were visible above ground and although quite nearby 20 minutes drive away i've got the roll ride stones which is a very nice thing to have i've got to go quite a bit further afield to get anywhere that's got anything showing above ground really anything significant in terms of megalithic sites um so it's a it's a good two hours drive to where i'm taking you and where am i taking you herefordshire and a neolithic chambered tomb called arthur stone well that's nice isn't it wow here we are well glad i made the effort trick is i'm going to spend the night here and uh tomorrow we'll take some photographic some cinematic uh footage to make into a little uh little filmet um but i'll i'll tell you more about um arthur's stone and about something else that's actually nearby that's very exciting um almost within sight of here i think but i'll leave that till tomorrow all right well here we are made it arthur stone is named of course for king arthur and has been since the 13th century we're told as far as its actual origins in prehistory there seems to be little to be said aside from the fact that it's been dated to around 3500 bc and has been classified among the seven cotswold type tombs as such a little imagination is required when looking at it we need to be thinking longbarrow the covering mound would have been about 80 foot long and 30 foot wide maybe about half the size of bayless nap but nevertheless similarly proportioned and viewed that way it's clear that the remains we can see here today are very much diminished representation of the original monument all we can see really is the burial chamber not that there's any record of human remains having been found here but then again with such a disturbed site expectations of any fines at all would be very slim indeed what remains to my eye at least is simply that which is not easily portable i'm afraid nine stones supported the 25 ton capstone which as you can see is now in three pieces however arthur's stone does have its own distinct peculiarities the outlying upright stone is what remains of a false portal stone at the fulcrum of what would have been the forecourt the entrance was not from the forecourt at the eastern end but these stones here tell us that the entrance was into the side of the tomb from the south interpretations on a postcard please on the other hand what arthur stone lacks in archaeology it makes up for in legend apparently king arthur was said to have killed a giant here and if proof were needed he cracked the stone as he fell and left the marks from his elbows in it as he did so a 15th century chronicle tells us that during the time of the wars of the roses to cut a long story short it was deemed that a quarrel between a knight named turboville and thomas app griffith father of soris app thomas who helped henry vii to the throne should be settled here on this spot the champions met here accordingly and on first pass turboville was unhorsed broke his back and died in september 1645 king charles gathered his army here and allegedly dined off the stone even more recently it is said that c.s lewis took much inspiration from the wire valley in this the golden valley in herefordshire and that the broken stone upon which aslan the lion is sacrificed in the lion the witch and the wardrobe is based on arthur's stone sorry about the plot spoiler there and that's about it for arthur stone but i want to quickly tell you about something else that's only about a mile away and from a pre-history point of view it's absolutely fascinating but it looks to me if actually showing it you anything might involve a little trespassing not that i advise it but it's not far wish me luck seem to have made it it's only a few yards this way uh hopefully you can see that um patch of earth behind me in in the field uh this is dawson hill and what you're seeing there is the remains of an excavation archaeological um that took place quite recently started in 2013 and best thing is if i um returned to the studio as it were to tell you about it the excavation led by professor julian thomas happened because of an earlier discovery of a huge amount of flints and other finds in this field the dig revealed three long mounds aligned end to end the middle mound was composed of burnt clay and timber and had a timber palisade in the eastern mount bones were found with a long timber chamber built between two huge post holes and there were stone chambers with cremated remains built into the side of the mound in 2015 the western mound was found to contain the posthole indications of a timber building nearly a hundred foot long but what is extraordinary and hopefully we'll be able to explore the details of this a bit more fully in a later program is that the evidence here tells us that a large timber dwelling dating to nearly 6 000 years ago was burnt to the ground and that funerary monuments of stone and timber were created over the remains here essentially we have barrows built over houses in professor thomas's own words the halls of the living became the halls of the dead a totally unique site with so much more to go into and as far as interest is concerned about stuff going on under the ground here uh i hope you find that absolutely fascinating all right with that seriously back to the studio yes it's the moment you've all been waiting for [Music] and for the first time ever this month's stonehead is also providing this month's whimsy and whilst um he knew was coming on the show we hadn't told him that he was going to be our stone head of the month i stumbled across shameless carey quite by a chance when he published and some of you may have already been aware of this so forgive us but he published an absolutely brilliant music video all written performed and filmed by him yeah it's it's too good it's too good michael called me and he said you've got to have a look at this and it's just a treat so we thought it would be rude not to share it with you so let's have a chat with the man himself and then we'll show you the video afterwards yep sounds like a plan so welcome sheamus welcome to the prehistory show thank you so much for coming on thank you for having me that's quite all right now for people that don't know and the few of you will um the reason we have sheamus on because we came across i can't remember how it came across our bowels but uh there is a brilliant film out there called i wish i was a standing stone more of that uh anon but um seamus you you think you've come on here for a um a brief uh chat about the film and uh and to find out about yourself and uh you know to elucidate people about where you're from and what you do and all the rest of it but no today you are our stone head of the month yes you are [Applause] you join the elite club of owner of the blue peter badge of archaeology i mean it sounds very out of focus it's so out of focus it could be a bottle top at the moment hold on a second i can do it i can't do this oh yeah oh that's the one not a thing of glory i can't bring it any closer i'm afraid yes it's it's only the special people that get these well thank you very much yours your special pre-history guys badge how are you feeling now i'm delighted actually yeah i feel like i'm in the cult i've always wanted to be in welcome to illustrate why shameless is such a uh deserved winner of the pre-history guys uh stonehead of the month award um we think it only fitting to show the film i wish it was a standing stone so um roll vt [Music] i wish i was a standing stone standing tall and all alone in the middle of the mall no one knows what you're for [Music] i wish i was a standing stone standing tall and all alone in the middle of the field your secrets are concealed [Music] you've seen the a stories taurus will pass and take a photograph stones have stood and stones [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] back in the room sheamus it's a joy it's a joy well it was mike put me onto it first and i laughed like a drain it was just genius and i have so many questions first question the costume yes tell us a lot of people have been asking about this costume there is a there's a wide a widely spread misconception that it's a sleeping bag so i want to kind of get that out of clear the air it's not a sleeping bag um it's a custom build then it is it is actually and um i can get on to sort of why i went about it in a minute but um i made it out of two duvets two two single duvets sewn together because i don't think actually a sleeping i wouldn't be able to move about uh enough in the sleeping bag so it's two do they um sewn together and then i mixed latex with paint to to get a quite nice rubbery finish and what was also funny is it actually i'm sure you guys have do appreciate this but it's the color of a stone it's far more complex than you might imagine it's hugely yes so you know i painted it gray and a bit white and stuff and then um we went out to start filming it and realized that some have got loads of yellow and loads of red and a bit of you know a bit of copper coming in and then of course you know not to mention the moss and and the lichen so um i would come home and get a toothbrush and you know that technique where you can flick the paint so it gets all speckled yeah so if you would if you know if you had the chance to get close to my standing stone outfit you would i think you'd really dig the color palette it's all in the detail it's all in the details it makes all the difference but hey uh what about yourself though i mean we know nothing next to nothing about you you know you're uh in in cornwall but um what do you do shameless plug your website well i am a um a man that makes music stuff that's the kind of the general uh term and lots of things fit into that so i started off um i sort of i didn't manage to finish any formal education and or you know a levels or degree but i kind of knew that i wanted to get into music for theater at a very young age i grew up watching lots of theater because my dad was involved in a company in cornwall called knee high and i sort of grew up watching that and very much within that world and i don't know whether the reputation spreads across the rest of the country but in cornwall there's a great kind of tradition of outdoor theater and and quite quite kind of some you know especially in the 90s it was very cutting edge i think for outdoor theater and lots of yeah um is it the maniac theater the minik yeah yeah yes yeah is that still going it is in fact they've been in they were in the news a couple weeks ago because they were the first outdoor venue to be able to open again they were sort of they were chomping at the bit to open up yeah and they've obviously had to adapt their their um their season quite drastically to sort of one-man shows and or you know double acts uh but yeah yeah that's a great place you know i've been there i have no uh theater is cut into the uh back into the sort of cliff place and it overlooks the sea so it's an extraordinary extraordinary location i'll see if i can grab a photograph and put it on the screen to so people understand that yeah we're planning a trip to corn we'll come visit you but yeah great yeah yeah absolutely yeah so how come i wish i was a standing stone well so um i that's the main thing i do is theater and and and music and i run a choir and most recently i've been a piano tuner and um just before lockdown i made a show called pagan pandemonium and and it was a sort of i i became quite fascinated i i i moved away from cornwall for a few years and i was touring a lot and i taught a lot around america and i found myself on the 1st of may for example looking at my twitter feed and a local cornish ritual or festival a mayday festival would pop up and it would be a shot of padstow mayday or possibly hellston flora dance or there's quite a few things that happen and and it made me feel quite homesick and then when i shared it with someone that i was working with they just looked upon it like some sort of mad abstract um you know performance art that they'd never heard of and i found myself in that position really really kind of realized that i'd taken for granted all the weird and wacky customs that you find in cornwall and across the uk so when i came back to cornwall and i moved back here two years ago i decided to really um invest a bit of time in sort of going around and partaking and witnessing all those um seasonal rituals that you find throughout the county so i was inspired by that but i was also inspired by sort of wacky mad often japanese game shows that were quite big in the 90s castle did you ever ever see that no it didn't but it kind of all makes sense now yeah takeshi's castle was sort of ripped off uh by the british eventually with that show um it was total wipeout sort of jumping on big rafts across the swimming pool and yeah and also it's a knockout as well that that bbc program so i kind of um you know because when you look at the cheese rolling in somerset right and they and they they roll that cheese down the hill and all those guys and women run down it like maniacs i thought what is the difference between that and a sort of bonkers game you know japanese game show and is there is there a way to kind of mix the two so in january this year i made a sort of work in progress um experience of that show with a bit of arts council funding and and i toured it around village halls in cornwall and i was very passionate that the gigs were free and for the public and you try and get sort of wide as wide range of audience as possible um it kind of worked there was a lot to be kind of honed and perfected but the the essence was a sort of mad show where the audience could get up on stage we would get people we were just sort of we were teaching the games there on the spot and so in a way it was a one-man show but then everybody would get on stage and at the end there would be a rich we talk about rituals and what they mean to people and why we do them and then at the end we would make a new one and the one in that show was kind of based on the absurd so we ended up praying to a goldfish and we did a big sort of um a big a big maypole dance with everybody singing and dancing and then they all went all hail the goldfish so um within that there was naturally a sketch about standing stones and we very quickly ran to the shop and bought some um some cheap duvets and we made these ridiculous outfits where people's heads would pop up and so we we take uh sort of innocent victims from the audience and get them to dress up as a standing stone and inspired by the legend of the merry maidens in cornwall found um not far from simbarian because the story is that they were turned into stone because they were dancing on the sabbath so the idea is we got the audience to close their eyes and then we dress these people up in standing stone outfits and then when we when we said open your eyes we said imagine that these are the merry maidens and if we're and if we're very lucky we might see them dance for us so it became it became a sort of you know strictly come dancing meets mary maiden's experience and um and you know and we played different genres of music and it got more and more you know frenzied and at the end they were dancing to um abbas dancing queen and everyone had to vote who their favorite merry maiden was so that that's where that's a bit of a long explanation but that's where it came from and uh lockdown happened and you know six months of touring disappeared and i was sat in this shed in cambodn and i thought um i'd love to sort of explore that that sketch a bit further because it would never we never quite finished it and i had written this song i'd started writing this song and we ran out of time the show was too long and we had to start cutting things as you do and um that song kind of you know found itself on the cutting room floor as you'd say and i thought to myself you know why don't i try and dig that out finish it probably give it some better lyrics and and resurrect it as a music video yeah yeah well it is it's a piece of genius i wanted to ask you uh because i love clever lyrics and uh and the thing that really got me was when you are you're talking about menin toll and you say that it can cure all illness if you pass your children through this and it was the use of the word illness i thought that's clever how long did it take you to come up with that solution to a lyric problem do you know what i actually thought when i wrote that i thought i don't think i'm going to get away with this one and uh and it's a few people have brought that lyric up in particular um yeah there was a few versions because actually the men and toll if you go through it definitely passes um definitely cures ricketts so i was trying to i was trying to find a rhyme with ricketts but that's quite hard so yeah well done anyway look here's the thing i i know from experience that it's impossible to control a drone from within a duvet oh yes yes you had help i did have help so uh i i ended up being locked down in a very lovely way with my girlfriend for about four months and um she came out to live with me in campbell and where i live and uh so it started off as a very lovely uh sort of project between the two of us where i said would you be up filming me um just for a few minutes and we and we got quite into getting up at sunrise so the very first shot you see where i turn become real that was short of sunrise so we'd go up there and have a flask and a and that you know and a scorn or something for breakfast and then we'd have this romantic moment and then she turned around and i was there in the costume going i'm ready and and um fair enough she did start to get quite um bored of that and i and the romanticism kind of wore off uh and then a friend of mine called danny north who is a brilliant very very um well-acclaimed uh music photographer who's recently moved to cornwall he got in touch and said do you fancy some drone shots so that that was you know we just did that in an evening and it was a bit of fun and um yeah very nice of him like i don't know if you saw it but one of my favorite places in cornwall is the gwenet pit which is the sort of location okay yeah yeah i hadn't seen it until your video because i i i sent you a message asking you where it was um yes right right right so yeah that's a great i mean that's not particularly old you know it's sort of a couple hundred years old but it um it gets
