The Hereford map is not the first image you can spot at the beginning of the documentary because it's a wall map.Of course it seems to be a quite a long “boring” 30 min. documentary but it's worth it. That documentary tries to highlight the way medieval people were seeing their world. That map is revealing their vision through a Christian point with knowledge of the time, backed by classical authors like Pliny, and the medieval philosophy e.g. the four letters M-O-R-S nailed around the map (a kind of memento mori), Jerusalem as the centre of the world, a fabulous bestiary, rivers, seas, an East axis (vs the common North axis today)That map reflects not only geographical knowledge of the time but instills a path to how medieval civilisation was considering the world.
All those skeletons (between twenty and thirty people) were found in a well at a depth of about four metres and those men, women and children appear to have been dumped in it.As you can see from the video, the well is quite narrow and at no time archaeologists are thinking about an earthquake-like reason nor any shaken palace ???

Cougnou is a typical product of Belgium (former areas before current borders, sometimes referred as southern Low Countries but this is quite a simplistic way to identify its location), unknown to modern France. It's a similar tradition than the stollen (christmas time) but with different ingredients or recipe.
Did you enjoy some cougneau over the past week?
Do you mean "cougnou" ? The "bread of Jesus"?Well yes, it's quite delicious (especially with raisins in it and with a hot chocolate milk)
Happy New Year to you Phid, and to all the members of this forumAccording to Anne Franck : “Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.” I'd say where there's life, there's hope
