I wonder if I ever learn anything in my sleep guided by YouTube.

[ruthblakmage]

This makes me debate going back to school for archeology. I'm absolutely fascinated!!! 😂❤

[JasonFromVermont]

This was a beautiful watch… wanted to sleep, didn’t sleep at all. I was way too intrigued! Much appreciated ❤🙏

[BarbaraPanigot]

What a great idea! I often fall asleep before the movie ends. This way I can learn a little something before dozing off. 😄

[jamiebondega]

It’s crazy to think that somewhere in the future, an archeologists might dig up your grave without thinking twice about it lol.

It’s 4:30am been awake since 2am. YouTube was my last resort to put something on to fall asleep to and this was the first thing that popped up when I opened the app. Im either gonna fall asleep or its gonna be 8:30am when I’ve finished watching it 😅

[CharliGriffin-heq]

It’s really cool. I was honored with this video. Thank you for your work

[virtualtours]

This is an amazing presentation. I absolutely loved it!

[JessiexXxX]

Yes thank you! I need something like this to fall asleep too, it interests me so much though I’ll watch for hours forcing myself awake lol. Then I’ll pass out and finish it the next day. 😂

Love the shirt with hidden archaeological humor... "Possible Ritual Use". At the 32:58 mark in video, that Dr. Stuart Prior is wearing. A term some archaeologists use when they cannot determine the use of an object, and a generic classification. LOL😂

[aliancemd]

Said “united kingdom” - instantly fell asleep. Very effective

[marcellinabennett]

That intact glass bowl from the Saxons is incredible

[LoveistheLawAZ]

The title is hysterical. Nothing like promoting something to fall asleep to.

When they dig up ancient graves, all I can think is "grave robbers". It's like when they talk about how ancient Egyptian graves having been robbed. They actually mean, "Someone got here before us!"
