What was it actually like to fight in a medieval battle? Luke Tomes travels to the Battle of Evesham Festival to take part in a live reenactment of the battle that took place in Worcestershire in 1265. All soldiers have been told to show Luke no mercy, as he dons his chainmail and helmet with Go Pros attached. As part of his experience, Luke is joined by medieval historian Matt Lewis, who talks him through the real events that took place during the Second Barons War over 750 years ago, including some unbelievable anecdotes involving the King (Henry III), Simon De Montfort (the rebel leader of baronial forces) and the King's son, Prince Edward (later known as 'Longshanks', Hammer of the Scots). Many thanks to Mick Hurst, director of the Battle of Evesham Festival, all of the volunteers who made the event possible, and the House of the Twin Tailed Lion for letting Luke in their ranks.

Dive into shocking archaeological discoveries, forgotten civilizations, and legendary treasures that are rewriting our understanding of history. In this video, we explore incredible finds like the 3,300-year-old Egyptian baboon skull traced to Punt, a kingdom whose true location remains a mystery despite new breakthroughs in science and isotope analysis. We also examine the fierce debates over ancient out-of-place artifacts like the puzzling Nampa figurine, follow the fossil trails of early hominids uncovered by the Leakey family in Africa, and journey to the breathtaking rainforests once thriving on Antarctica, challenging everything we thought we knew about the continent's past climate.

Inspired by Ronald Wright’s bestseller A Short History of Progress, this film is a powerful cinematic exploration of the hidden dangers behind “progress.” Throughout human history, what we’ve called progress has often led to unintended consequences -collapsing civilizations and creating new crises. Today, those same patterns are playing out on a global scale. Featuring insights from leading thinkers, activists, economists, and scientists, the film examines “progress traps”- innovations that solve short-term problems but create long-term risks. As these traps become embedded in our technology, economy, and way of life, the question becomes urgent: Can humanity change course before history repeats itself? ------- Chapters ▷ 00:01:28 - Evolution and the roots of human nature ▷ 00:03:29 - Defining progress and its hidden contradictions ▷ 00:05:58 - The Progress Trap, when success leads to collapse ▷ 00:08:08 - Stone Age brains in a technological age ▷ 00:10:26 - The key difference between humans and other species ▷ 00:14:24 - Innovation, science, and unintended consequences ▷ 00:16:56 - Growth, inequality, and rising global demand ▷ 00:25:22 - Natural capital, limits, and environmental strain
