I like to fall asleep watching UKposts videos and woke up to this. SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️

POV: you fell asleep watching David P videos and woke up to this

Lecture starts at 9:10

The lecturer is doing very well to deliver this lecture in English. My compliments Madam.

Between Dr. Finkel's opening observation of new players asking "What if...?" and the tale of Nicobar-chess, I'm reminded of an error of my own and a fun set of open-to-debate rules: 1) When I first ran into Conway's 23/3 Life, it was in Piers Anthony's "OX", and my copy had a skipped (empty) row in one of the illustrations. The rules weren't explicitly outlined therein (nor in an appendix), and I had no knowledge of where else to look. You can only imagine some of the quirky rules I conjectured to reverse engineer things from the patterns that were given. 2) The rules of "Thud" (from Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series), and possibly "Koom Valley Thud" (I don't remember for sure) aren't 100% unambiguous and comprehensive. If you go through them and bump each against the next, or read the _exact_ wordings pedantically, you can come up with a number of variations to each (not precisely exploits, more like interpretations).

Great video- It's nice to see some serious work on the history of playing games with others. Too much is made online, especially You Tube, of people who enjoy playing with themselves.

Finkle is Gilgamesh... Gilgamesh is Finkle!!! Another awesome performance by this brilliant man

Had no idea this was a Finkel presentation!!! I'm totally fangirling. On the off chance of being peeky- I think Finkel NEEDS to be in the next Jumangi Movie.

This man is hilarious, delightful, witty, acerbic, a man above the information presented. The audience just barely laughs, completely unaware that they don’t have to be terminally bored just because they are listening to a museum guy talk about board games.

9:45 if you get bored with introduction

Starting at 9:00 unless you're fond of incessant intros.

During geometry class my friend and I played a similar game on our lined paper. 10 lines dotted 10 times. Connect the dots one bar per turn initial your completed squares, which could only be all four sides in your mark (pen vs. pencil) could get in two games in a half hour lol 😊

this is an amazing video. Thanks for sharing

I love this guy, so comical and so bright. And I love that his academia isn’t white-washed.

Fascinating.

Woke up to it too and am thinking the aliens have something to do with it. Sending me a private message 🤣🤣🤣

Very interested 🌲🎄

Until 39.00 I really thought that there was no audience at all. How can it be that a group of people seems to be immune to a rhetorical genius like Irving Finkel. Maybe they had to sign a document promising not to laugh even when the lecturer is really funny before entering the hall. Strange.

Absolutely Brilliant presentation on diffusion and so much more. ManyThanks to all

I've been binge watching Irving, one of my favorite historical presenters for sure.

Is this guy where they got stueys accent from?

The Irving man is a wizard with great powers. Luckily for us he is only throwing the forces of humor and likeability out into the world or we might be doomed to a greater extent than currently is the case...

Excellent lecture displaying the high standards of modern academia, well done Anna.

POV: You clicked on this video expecting it to be more engaging only to find it to be a snorefest

The met, the sphinx was a basenji before it get re carved! The basenji answer to the riddle has it have 4 paws, 2 at lunch, to smell the food and 3 in the afternoon has it's their watch turn and they can not go for a nap and to conserve their energy for when it is really needed! The spinx was watching the leo constellation, just like basenji were keeping a watch on lion to keep villages safe! The spinx is ready to strike! Go figure why there is plenty of dog at the Giza! Basenji are a pure breed and with the desert growing they must have move south to Congo! Basenji have curly tell like in the egyptian carving/pictures, a chacal is wild, basemji have primitive human's way, has in basic ways of beeing! The game your were talking about being like a dog also related to the sphinx, must have been a basenji too! ;) -A basenji owner p.s: On my picture it is my basenji!

Veri important

49:35 yo i had no idea Pam from the office was in this

Uhhh why is this in the Cavernous Cove playlist???

I can't believe how people don't see it.

Same

This is so interesting. What excellent speakers and researchers!!! It amazing how they pieced together these games and figured out how they were played. It's nothing less than amazing. Thank you all so much. I am watching it again right after my first viewing of it I am enjoying it so much.

This is so interesting! Thanks you so much to the speakers for giving these lectures, and to the MET for making them available!

is this the new cavernous cove monster?

it kinda looks like a cribbage board

I really miss a transcript

Anna Contadini is she the pvoice behind all those footages of megalith stones and temples. Stating that the anciens must have had lost technology and that somebody must have cancel or add centuries, milleniums to our history time Line? Is she that woman ? The tone of her voice is exactly the same.

Ihorne if finckle, finckle is ihorne. Ace venture

31:55 pachisi!

So this was gaming in the ancient world

These aren’t simply games, they’re an illustrated representation of the torsion field, both that of the human body, the planet and many more

Lead by example

Why introduce someone to introduce someone and waste 9 minutes ? Just go straight to Irving Finkel...9:09

Audio is so low can't hear it.

Another brilliant show

Why this on the Cavernous Cove playlist

Checking in from 2020

it must have been so difficult for these people living under the rule of the Anunnaki. From what I've heard Enil could be a real [expletive deleted] if he had a bug up his [expletive deleted].

Starts at 9:30

Fell asleep 🥱 to Graham Hancock and woke-up 😮 here @ 1:00:12. 😴

13:00 🕐 bookmarking for myself to show my dad

Cool, but how was Jumanji discovered?

Who else was diverted here while watching Robert Sepehr? TheMet is always a safe option for Zionism's UKposts.

Love Irving Finkel, even if no one laughed at his jokes.

I love Dr. Finkle!!!

See the script in this video. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/fahqjXmdfaycz3U.html&ab_channel=RubinSchmidt 2:45 mins. in. !!!

I always start with knowing uall the rules... Hate starting without ...don't believe in house rules ... All Part of devolution

Same but I suppose I deserve it because I fell asleep do history videos in the first place

13:11 what a sweetheart

Jim I go for it 😹😹😹😹

I watch alot of tartaria vids Where the constant theme is "the narrative we are told is a lie" wake up to this pumping the narrative... hmm

I really tried to listen but around 13 min I could not any longer relate at all.

Oooo i like this monster

28:50 isreal only 60 years old. Impossibls

an that game will be called sticky mcshnickens

Tryttttt

Way too much time spent on intros.

Very interesting time to update monopoly to planets not just land

You don't have to be a genius and do a lecture, to know that global communication was a fact. Just like you said about the boardgame, they made their own interpretations. Why u think they are pyremids on every continent.

Im confused on how i got here

how to speedrun

The british should demand Finkel for prime minister... Beter yet...ignore charles and made king.

That's what happens when you have disengaged enthusiasts who like to hear their own voices. Maybe this should be for going to sleep..

Once there was knowledge... then came Rome and islam

Skipped 9 min

Well you're missing a deck a cards duh.

history junna junwa 👈🏻😹

Hope you have had your own grand children now...u realise that u have time and experience .

gaming

Umm, ahh, ummm. Aahhhh. Ummmm. Ah. How did I end up here? Due to COVID 19? Oh wait Finkle!? Laces out Finkle? Umm. Ahh. Umm. These people believe we came from apes.

With all due respect, Brittish history is sometimes marred by their conceptualized "re-discovery" of artifacts, lands, and people, with subsequent make-believe narratives which can be constantly changed at whim by varying "re-discoverers." The history of man paints our very specific migration of ethnicity and culture across the globe. Considering that certain cultures in Africa, where man began his journey, were conquered, plundered, and whose artifacts were destroyed and reclaimed, I cannot rely wholly upon the good sir's research, as it seems to refortify the Museum's ever tight grip on "acquired" items and its possible retelling of history as it actually occurred. He lost me at "Egyptian and Aziatic Barbaric," which seems to be in itself, an oxymoron. Honestly, we still havent figured out, from what the museums left over after their many raids, have to tell us of Egyptian technology and their very existence. I dont see them borrowing a game from India when the migration of man came from Egypt, crossed other continents, and eventually came BACK around to India. He seemingly says it with such disdain, as if he is certain that the Egyptians' version of a game was in fact "Barbaric." Hmmm... So far, this is all that UKposts has to offer as far as documentaries on the subject. I challenge everyone to keep researching as I will.

I thought about drugging christians on a movie set and came here so lom and haa uh haa ok here

Sss

f c6

Thumbs down simply for the 10 min introductions!!!!

C.C isn’t this! THIS IS A SCAM!

What a long winded and unnecessary introduction.

Your show are bored

Boring!.... Start already!

Boring. I wish I could block the met chanel

Boring boring boring
