@allinclusivearc Great idea! Hope the trial goes well!

Showcased at #E3 was Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey - but if it's a game 'spanning from 10 million to 2 million years ago' it sounds like it stops just as things get interesting! #Archaeology #HumanEvolution #Paleolithic #Ancestors

The archaeologist's most important tool! The first reference to the use of a trowel on an archaeological site comes from a letter from Antiquarian William Cunnington to Richard Colt Hoare in 1808. Pictured is Ros' Marshalltown trowel. #archaeology #history #trowel #AGWSTitles

Westminster Abbey is an abbey church in London. The building was originally a Benedictine monastic church before being dissolved in 1539. Since William the Conqueror in 1066 it has been the site of coronation for every English and British monarch #Westminster #History #AGWSTitles

Queen Anne's Revenge was a frigate that became the flagship of Blackbeard in 1717. It ran aground at Beaufort Inlet, N. Carolina in 1718. Following a royal pardon Blackbeard returned to piracy and was killed in combat later that year. #Blackbeard #Pirates #history #AGWSTitles

Smeaton's Tower is a memorial to lighthouse engineer John Smeaton. It originally comprised the top section of the Eddystone Lighthouse off the coast of Cornwall and was completed in 1759. In 1882 it was moved to Plymouth Hoe. #lighthouse #Cornwall #Plymouth #AGWSTitles

'Big Ben' (offically the Elizabeth Tower) is the nickname of the largest of the clock tower's five bells. It is thought the nickname derives either from Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw its installation, or heavyweight boxing champion Benjamin Caunt. #BigBen #London #AGWSTitles

Good to see Catherine of Aragon is trending on Twitter today after 534 years! #CatherineofAragon #HenryVIII #KeepTweeting #NotBeforeTime #History

Constantine the Great led the Roman Empire between 306 and 337AD and was proclaimed Emperor on the site of what is now York Minster. He was the second longest serving Emperor of Rome behind Augustus and 10 succeeding Emperors took his name. #Constantine #Roman #York #History

Stonehenge is a prehistoric structure that was constructed and developed from around 3000 to 2000 BC. The large sarsen stones, at the centre of the monument, weight approximately 22,000kg and were brought to the site from 32km away #stonehenge #archaeology #neolithic #prehistory

Horatio Nelson was a Vice-Admiral in the Navy, noted for several decisive victories. He was killed at Trafalgar in 1805. Members of the public wrote so many lamentations about his demise that the Times publicly requested that people stop sending them poems. #nelson #navy #history

Boudica, queen of the Iron Age Iceni tribe, led a revolt against the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61. The crisis caused Nero to consider withdrawing all Roman forces from Britain but shortly afterwards Boudica was defeated in battle. #boudica #queen #history #roman #podcast

The Sutton Hoo helmet (which appears in our title sequence) is an Anglo-Saxon helmet discovered during the 1939 excavation of the Sutton Hoo ship-burial. It is thought to be the helmet of king Rædwald of East Anglia and was buried around 625 AD. #archaeology #AngloSaxon #podcast
