Shocking Q&A with Daskalos – Part 1

I understand you have some questions for me well let’s go for a ride shall we all right I was born in Tucson Arizona which is sort of the butthole of Arizona well that’s not true that’s probably Douglas Arizona but Tucson’s pretty close all Tucson hate aside I was

Born and raised in on Arizona until about 3 days after I turned 18 when I left for home as one does from there I lived a short time in Columbus Georgia and then went to fville North Carolina now some of you may know what that means

The rest of you just know that it was for a government work job matter of fact the only one that you can get when you’re 18 now I never really went anywhere and did anything cool during my time in North Carolina and eventually I came back home I spent the next few

Years trying to figure out what it is that I wanted to do with my life now something to know about me is that I was always fascinated by history growing up and now I had a better sense of the person I was and a vastly improved work ethic and understanding of my

Capabilities so I called my dad up one night and said you know I think I want to be a historian to that he replied why I said well I’m really into history and I miss being out in the field and getting my hands dirty I think

I’d like to go out and explore and find things to that he said I think you want to be an archaeologist so I looked it up and he was correct that is exactly what I wanted to do so later I did some research to find places to learn how to be an

Archaeologist and come to find out one of the best and because I was a resident of Arizona cheapest options was to go to Puma community College they had a pretty extensive archaeological curriculum with options for direct hire now they really specialize in the American southwest and I really didn’t want to do archaeology

In the American southwest I wanted to dig in Greece but one of the instructors that I had a meeting with told me something that ended up being incredibly true which is if you can do archaeology in the southwest you can do archaeology anywhere and she’s right archaeology in

The American South especially in the Tucson Basin is pretty difficult everything looks like dirt so I signed up for a couple classes just to sort of get my feet wet and see how well I liked it and I absolutely loved and excelled at it it should come to no surprise to

You the viewer that I ended up sticking with it shortly after my first semester I was recruited into a cultural resource management or CRM firm but I didn’t actually do my first job until about a year after I started school school later I worked two seasons teaching Boy Scouts about archaeology at

Filmont Boy Scout Ranch where I first learned of interpretation and got my first taste of educating the public I graduated pumac Community College in 2017 with two Associates degrees and a handful of direct employment certificates I still had a desire however to do ancient Greek archaeology

But I was starting to learn that I had a knack for both public speaking and finding creative ways of doing interpretation following someone’s recommendation from filmont I applied at the National Park Service as an interpretive park ranger and was immediately hired to the first place I ever applied

To I ended up working for the National Park Service for a few years going to places such as New Mexico Wyoming and even spending a year in the Virgin Islands but I learned something during my time in the federal service and that was unless you have a bachelor’s degree

At a minimum you don’t really get taken seriously by archaeologists so I decided to go back to school and ended up at the University of Arizona double majoring in classical civilizations and anthropology with an archaeology Focus keeping in mind that at this point I had several years of

Experience as an archaeologist and many many years of consuming information regarding anent Greece so it was no surprise that I did just fine with those degrees and about 3/4 of the way through my schooling I decided decided to start this YouTube channel because I recognized that there was something missing with YouTube and

Archaeology and I felt that my unique set of skills would fill that hole pretty well now before you go into the comment section and tell me about all the other channels that deal with archaeology I know I know about that but what I was looking for was things like

Has anyone built konos in Minecraft or something like that and I didn’t really find anything so I saw my opportunity and I I took it yeah yeah this will definitely Do yeah this is really nice out here just so YouTube does not demonetize me or this video this is a soda not a Beer soda okay this a Mexican soda if you can find them in your town I definitely recommend them they got a whole bunch of

Different flavors uh but it is a soda not alcohol so please for God’s sakes don’t demonetize me for that okay now I answer some questions on the way up here let’s see here did I I get everything or did I miss anything um no no all right yeah

Looks looks like I got everything so all right so to answer your questions about archaeology let’s go ahead and shift over to thalos who’s currently in the field vascos take it away hold on ah oh okay then um um how are you cool cool yeah way

Cool um oh he’s back so I just came in from the field give me two seconds all right let’s get started have you or your team ever found something that’s legitimately impacted people’s view of history in a serious way what was it no no we haven’t it’d be cool but no

We haven’t next question have you ever been in a situation where natural events or disasters have messed up dig sites and yes yes I have uh for two seasons I was at a filmont uh Boy Scout Ranch some of you may recognize me from that if so

Welcome and um I had an excavation that was going on and the rains came in totally washed down a bunch of silt and dirt and completely reburied my excavation yeah it sucked but it did I had I had something kind of destroy it didn’t really destroy it it messed it up

I had to re redig it again to the spots that we were at and then continue on but BAS basically yeah yeah I have it was not fun so let’s get into some topics I’ve clumped together some of your questions cuz a lot of them have very similar

Themes this one’s going to be called findings so what would be the strangest or most unexpected thing in your opinion that you found as an archaeologist golf balls yeah they’re everywhere golf balls also the cores of batteries like AAA and able a batteries they’re everywhere

Too I don’t know what you guys do with your golf balls or your batteries but apparently chucking them into the middle of nowhere is a valid strategy apparently is there anything you found that has surprised you in how similar dissimilar culture or civilization was compare okay this one yes um let me

See mugs mugs are everywhere through all time periods you have them in the Americas you have them everywhere uh the vefo cup which is ancient Greek thing Bronze Age thing it’s a mug uh the ancestral poens of the American southwest have mugs they’re all mugs apparently a small round cup with a

Handle that you can grab is Universal to all cultures everywhere and it’s I mean it makes sense it’s a very utility type thing but yeah mugs H while digging up any sites have you accidentally found anything extinct yes um kind of neat I was in a canyon

Sandstone Canyon up on the uh top of the canyon was a bunch of sandstone that had um fossilized leaves you know Leaf imprints on them and uh and in one of the in one of the sites that I was Excavating we actually found one on the floor of a

Prehistoric home which means that someone in Antiquity went up there saw it thought it was cool and brought it back down which is pretty cool it just means humans have been humans you know they see something cool and they take it uh what would you say is your favorite excavation you’ve worked on

Either because of the people okay there stuff yeah I honestly think that um the excavations at filmont so far have been my favorite but I also haven’t done a lot of excavation and we’ll get into why that is later on during the misconceptions portion the neat thing about filmont was

That it was a excavation that was all mine and it had a public aspect to it where the where I had Scouts come up and I taught them about archaeology and then very closely monitored them while they themselves excavated and it was a really cool time because they would dig things

Up and you know in the screens they would find them and their eyes would light up it was a very cool time because you could see that initial spark of of archaeology sort of manifesting itself moving on uh what is the funniest most unexpected you think you found in AR

Golf balls yeah golf balls did you ever have a moment where something didn’t make sense in a place it was found but clicked later uh fixing a bunch of problems not really um I did have something that I found it was a um chipped axe head that was broken in half

And I didn’t notice it at the time but when I got back to the lab and was looking it over it was purposefully broken it actually had the scar on it that showed that it was hit with another Stone uh and purposefully broken which opens up a ton of

Possibilities um that could have been why they did that um your imagination can run wild with with it uh what is the most interesting artifact or site you’ve ever excavated I’ve been asked that a lot as an archaeologist and I guess it really depends on what you think of as

Interesting or cool or however you want to phrase it uh a couple things come to mind the broken axe for obvious reasons I once found an obsidian projectile point so Arrowhead to some of you it was about this big and it had thinning flakes going across the face of it a very even

Pattern and it was so thin that it was you could see through it um there’s no way you could use it for what a projectile point is supposed to be used for but and the amount of of effort that went into making that was was incredible

So it was a very highly skilled person making it and they were making it not for use which is what makes it really cool so it was for looks only and I thought that was kind of a neat thing have you ever lied about finding

Something like ever no no I have not and there’s aason reason why there is nothing to be gained from lying about something that you have found or lying that you have found something because archaeologists are well sometimes they’re jerks and they like to fact check each other or

They like to double check things and it will never really work to your benefit to say yes I found this because someone’s always going to doubt that and check it also a lot of the work that I’ve done has been for government entities so contract wise so we get contracted to check something

For let’s say BLM Forest Service something like that the archaeologists are actually going to double check our work because they have to so if you lie and say you found a Clovis point which is a really old projectile Point um in a certain site they’re going to want to

See that so no I’ve never lied about anything I found ever moving on let’s go to some regular questions now what would the archaeological process be like if they found a ruin on Mars and following questions too I’ve actually talked about this a lot with friends of mine I think that that is

Going to be an emerging science as humans sort of get out into space because with all the worlds all the habitable worlds and for as long and and as old as the the universe is we’re eventually going to find in uh remnants of a civilization and what that is going to look

Like the archaeology what that’s going to look like I have no idea are they going to be doing the same stuff that we’ve done before you know stone tools are they going to be building things like how we’ve done before don’t know it’s hard because you can’t base what we do or the

Idea of what we would find based off of what we’ve done in the past so I think it’s a really neat idea I don’t think we’re going to use Rovers to be honest with you I really don’t think we’re going to use Rovers to

To do any of that I think it’s going to be boots on the ground actual archaeologists doing it because I think by the time that we go to find or by the time we find evidence of a of an ancient civilization or a past civilization like

That that we were going to actually do any kind of archaeology we’re going to have the technology to get out there but Xeno Archaeology is something that I’ve I’ve I’ve really thought of a lot and I think it’s a really cool idea and I’m glad you brought it up um because that

Is that is awesome uh it’s I think it’s a really cool thing that’s going to that’s going to be something in the future um do archaeologists eventually run out of ancient sites to excavate within an area of expertise they could absolutely um it it all depends though

What your area of expertise is because the what is considered to be archaeological site or how old something has to be to be considered to be an uh archaeological site is always moving forward because it’s it’s anything that’s 50 years old and I’ll get to that a little bit later on

Too so well at least in America other places it’s different so it all depends a lot of these questions are going to be it all depends you know the an is going to just be about you know it all depends so um yeah I I mean eventually yeah they

Will if their if their if their area of expertise is running out of of of stuff to dig up um yeah maybe they need to think about hitting another expertise break time let’s go ahead and answer some questions real quick all right if you were to call your

Fan Community a name Taylor Swift has the swifties what would you call us i’ call you the swifties no I wouldn’t I wouldn’t call you the swifties no I I don’t know um bronze tribe maybe I I mean but we’re going to get into the classical era at some point so

I mean we’re not that’s probably not a good one um methus you know the the Greek word for a student um I don’t know what do you think I should call you should we even call you anything it’s kind of weird right I don’t know it’s uh anyways yeah

I I don’t know that’s a good question I don’t know what I would call you do you have a favorite fossil Pokemon if so which one and why I don’t um I actually don’t unfortunately uh well I guess fortunately depending on how you look at it Pokémon was never really something I

Got into um when it became pretty big in America I was just kind of not really into it same thing with Power Rangers too which is weird because as an adult I’m starting to appreciate it you know things like that a little bit more the weird campy stuff but anyways yeah no I

I don’t I don’t have a a favorite fossil Pokemon or any Pokemon um sorry um you know what tell you what let’s get back to to other thalos what advice would you give somebody who’s absolutely fascinated by history and archaeology but can’t handle going through Academia again join the Park

Service become an interpretive park ranger and do that if you really love archaeology if you really love history do that you are going to be teaching granted you’re going to be teaching the public about this stuff but you are going to have a wealth of knowledge thrown at you and the

Programs that you can give in the Park Service are endless join the Park Service as an interpretive park ranger or an interpretive guide and do that that is what I would suggest if you don’t want to go back to school that’s what you should do what advice would you give for a

Student archaeologist who’s trying to find their specialty region of study I once heard somebody tell me that if you wanted to know what it is that you should do for a profession think about what you would do if you if if money was never an issue what would you do if

Money was never an issue sort of the same idea for this too if you want to figure out what your specialty is think about if you know if making money and living you know making enough money to live off of wasn’t an issue what would your specialty be what really gets you

Going what do you like and then then come up with a backup that you can actually make money at okay that’s what I do classical archaeologist I work in the American southwest American southwest pays the bills classical archaeology well doesn’t unless you’re much higher up with your with your

Degree uh did you accidentally open a sealed Egyptian tomb late in 2019 that caused the events of 2020 and Beyond to transpire no comment student in archaeology here what do you think will be the new tools we develop in the near future okay so actually I was just talking about this

With the crew that I was working with I think two things are going to be the next big technology with uh archaeology mostly for survey drones that’s pretty much already coming up there have been times where we needed to to survey a spot up high couldn’t get to drones are

Going to be the future there second thing wearables okay so a pair of glasses that you wear that has a heads up display that tells you what your what Your utm’s are and your GPS will overlay a path for you along your transect maybe has a camera in it so you

Can take pictures of artifacts as you take them up maybe has a little voice recorder so you can actually do things like that I think wearables are the next thing I think that’s the big the next big thing and if any of you techsavvy people want to want to talk with me a

Little bit more about that hit me up on on my Discord and um and yeah let’s get some stuff going what qualifications do you need to become an archaeologist well you need to have a degree specifically in anthropology with an archaeology fe uh Focus but not necessarily I was recruited directly out

Of Community College without a degree granted I showed some promise and I kind of picked it up pretty quick but um basically you need to have some field experience under your belt you can get that through a field school or by doing any kind of field classes at like a

Local college or university um an associates degree is probably a good idea bachelor’s is even better but you don’t have to have that to be an archaeologist nowadays it’s getting harder and harder to get work without those degrees but you can do it the Community College I went to in Tucson

Arizona called Pim Community College has one of the best field programs in my opinion uh in in the country and when I graduated there with an associates degree I had probably about a good six months worth of field experience just from those classes I was recruited directly out of

Pum Community College before I had my associates degree so you know you can do it but um if you’re wanting to get work in the CRM field or some other kind of field like that um Associates or Bachelors at a minimum if you’re wanting to get federal work like with the park

Service or forest service or BLM bachelor’s at a minimum uh and that’s an anthropology degree with an archaeology focus and probably a field school too um if you had the chance to redo any historical excavation with modern day knowledge of okay which one would you choose Troy absolutely Troy and before

Any of you schleman haters get into the comments and start typing stop stop typing right now schleman did some things wrong on that excavation but archaeologist dropped the ball okay he actually went to archaeologist asking for help and they told him no they told him he was an

Idiot he decided to do it himself without any kind of archaeology experience we could have helped him but we didn’t so if I could go back in time and do it any excavation absolutely Troy I think we would know so much more than we know now um yeah was a scarest thing

That’s happened to you and your team during an excavation excavation nothing really survey flash flood uh me and a team were in a Sandstone or yeah kind of a Sandstone Bedrock type Canyon and it started to rain and we started to get out of there but it was starting to get worse and

Worse and it started flowing you know there was a little bit of stream flowing in the canyon and so we just basically scaled the walls to get out and by the time we got back to the vehicle the Canyons were flowing like flowing flowing with debris whole trees and

Things like that floating down him so that was pretty scary because um I was with a bunch of people who were not familiar with the American southwest and so when I mentioned flash flooding they didn’t really believe me and they only believed me when they saw

How quickly a very small stream of water coming down the sides of the canyon became a rushing sort of flow so yeah that was fun what would you do if you ever came across an Indiana Jones style ruined with traps um document it that’s what we do we document uh granted anything that

Would have traps like that uh would not probably work anymore um traps like that don’t really exist so hate to get your hopes up but if we came across uh ruins we would document them and if they had any kind of interesting things like sprung traps or traps that would have

Been sprung um had they still sort of worked that would be a really cool thing to document and it would be I mean that’s like thesis material right there okay that’s doctoral thesis material is is traps like that so that’s what would happen in the real world we would we would we would

Document what’s exactly the career you studied H since you’re an expert on classical archa oh I’m an expert now well thank you please please continue I’m fascinated by your channel oh well thank you I studied classical F oh there you go all right well no I’m just

Messing with you um what exactly is the career you studied well in Community College I studied what is considered word is called CRM archaeology cultural resource management and that is basically you know somebody wants to build a mall out in the middle of nowhere they have to hire archaeologist

To do a survey of the site um and so they contact firms that have archaeologists on staff or they float out a job and everyone bids on it and we go and Survey that stuff that’s CRM archaeology there’s some other things to it too but that’s the big gist of what

CRM Archaeology is um that’s what I started doing and then I did CRM archaeology but I always wanted to do you know the classical World archaeology and that’s something that fascinated me and that’s something that I studied up on a lot in my own time um

To the point where when I went back to school to get my bachelor’s I didn’t really need to take notes half of the books that were you know assigned reading I owned already and I had read cover to cover so um yeah so my my associates degrees are in

Anthropology with a cultural Focus anthropology with an archaeological Focus I have three different certificates as well um for direct employment which is um uh GIS which is basically digital mapping um field techniques and lab techniques and then for a bachelor’s degree I have a double major in um classical civilizations and

Anthropology with an archaeological Focus so that is the career that I studed St is archaeology I purposefully well sort of purposefully uh kept it sort of Broad in order to be hirable uh to be bankable to have bankable skills and so far it’s worked out pretty well for me since I’ve done

Some CRM archaeology I’ve worked for the park service not as an archaeologist as a as a park ranger uh interpretive park ranger and I’ve done some other things as well I’m a very bankable person um that can be used in many different fields uh for whatever I mean heck I’ve

Got this YouTube channel doing this thing right now and so that’s pretty bankable too at least some people think so um however I’m before I get on to the misconceptions and Grave robbing topic uh I’m absolutely disgusting and gross it was a long nasty day I’m going to

Clean up so um other thalos I don’t know entertain them while I go do this all right be right back okay then um uh wow I kind of put on the spot uh tell you what why don’t I answer some of your Minecraft questions right let’s uh

Let’s do yeah let’s do that um best way to answer your Minecraft questions is Well all right first question if you continued the excavation series would you consider structures like ocean ruins I think it’d be neat to see your interpretations of them well you know that question comes up an awful lot in the excavation series and to be honest with you I probably wouldn’t I mean I

Could from an you know like an archaeologist standpoint but I mean there’s nothing really to be discovered there’s nothing to be dug up or anything like that so I don’t know I mean I I I don’t really think there’s much that I could do there’s not a lot

Of stuff there that would give me sort of Clues as to what it was used in the past and some of these things are are still being used I don’t know probably not but you never know uh the next ones are actually a bunch that I’m going to kind of group

Together so it’s all about archaeology in Minecraft what is the most unrealistic part of the trail ruins what is something that you think would make archaeology in Minecraft more realistic or wish other people knew how would you change how Trail ruins are structur generated all that stuff um archaeology

Designed with a realism over gameplay mentality okay so let’s just go ahead and Tackle this right now what is the most unrealistic part of the trail ruins you’re Excavating and that is how deep they are they are incredibly deep each block is a one M

Cube and I was going down 30 40 m to to excavate the the ruins and that just that’s not really realistic now I know some of you are already typing away in the comments yes there are there are sites that are buried pretty deep but that is not very common the common thing

Is to have sort of a semi dispersed site or um having a site that’s sort of still there but not as tall with you know very few exceptions um the way I would change the trail ruins is I would actually make them a little bit more shallow and I would make probably you

Know if they were on flat ground I would make a hill up and over them and I think that’s a little bit more realistic you had the one building that has a a basement and if that sunk in and got covered with dirt you would have a

Depression in the ground you have the tower and another building that are right next to each other and a lot of that wall would probably support itself so the tower even though the tower wouldn’t completely be there you’d probably have a taller spot right there but generally speaking it wouldn’t be

Nearly as tall as it is in the game and some of it would be covered up but it’d be a little bit more dispersed the foundations would definitely be there once you removed some of the Fallen material and the and the dirt that covered it you would actually be able to

See the foundations a little bit better and using the materials that were around each of the buildings you could sort of formulate what comprised the construction of that building I don’t know if that makes much sense maybe I’ll get into it a little bit later um the other thing is is that you

Know I I keep getting asked this idea about archaeology and Minecraft and reality and stuff like that and to be honest with you the developers and and this is going to be something that not a lot of people are going to agree with me on but the developers actually took a very

Realistic aspect to archaeology air quotes in Minecraft in that the ruins are just there and you know in the real world you have archaeological sites just there and you have people that come across them and take things and steal things they don’t have the incentive to do things the

Proper way in the real world with exception of course to you know laws and stuff like that so I think I think the developers actually got that part right because the average player comes across the trail ruins and thinks oh stuff and they loot it and that’s kind

Of how it’s always been for a long time now now I think that if and I don’t know how they would do this but if the developers somehow made an incentive for systematically Excavating I think that would be a cool way to go I don’t know

How they would do that though I’m not really sure what the whole process of that would be it’s a tough one but generally speaking I think they got it pretty much you know accurate in that ruins are just there and um you know people can people can

Loot it and that kind of sucks in the real world actually it sucks a lot in the real world and it only kind of sucks in the Minecraft world but there are no real repercussions in the Minecraft world for looting it so yeah I think they actually kind of knock that one out

Of the park with exception of course the design yeah I’m still here I’m still here um let’s let’s answer some questions uh do you have any hobbies besides what you were showing us in your videos so besides geology and Minecraft and geology I think you meant archaeology not

Geology um yeah actually I do obviously that um I’m motorcyclist I like to do motorcycle things I write I draw uh mostly pen and ink that’s actually what got me to be semi lucrative in the archaeology uh world when it comes to jobs is I I did handdrawn maps and nobody really likes

Doing handdrawn maps for some reason but I did so I got hired a lot because of that but um yeah I mean standard guy stuff you know camping hiking shooting peeing in the woods that kind of thing um but other than that yeah uh oh I took

Up carving once for a little while so I can kind of do that um yeah I mean just some random stuff but mostly motorcycling riding drawing uh let’s see here celebrity crush okay so look I I I’m kind of an older dude I’m not I’m not like that old but I’m I’m kind

Of older and and crush is sort of like a a kid thing and and you know I I mean I wouldn’t say that anything I have was like a crush cuz that seems you semi Juvenile and I don’t know I just I don’t I don’t I don’t see

Um all right fine uh celebrity crush Selena Gomez uh not only is she absolutely stunning but uh the way that she react to people who you know try to criticize her about her body what she wears how she does things is just topnotch yeah that’s that’s my kind of

Woman so anyways and I’m not that much older than her anyways so yeah but here’s the thing it doesn’t really matter right because well she doesn’t watch this Channel at least I don’t think she does um and you know I’m kind of a nobody she’s

A singer and and actress and and so you know I’m just some random pasty white guy with a YouTube channel who also does kind of cool stuff out in the middle of nowhere but um yeah yeah so it doesn’t really matter and don’t go and harass

Her for God’s sakes if you do know her though if you do know her anyways uh all right let’s see here um classic question for me to ask potatoes or Salad well I guess you know the college answer of course would be potato salad but we’re not going to do

That cuz cuz that’s a copout we’re going to draw a hard Line in the Sand potatoes are salad here and I guess potatoes they’re a lot more versatile though though I suppose if salad is going to be sort of a general term like the greens and also potato salad macaroni and salad stuff

Like that taco salad um you know I I’d have to go with salad if if we’re going to go for a general term but if we’re going for precise terms I’m going to go with potatoes God I sound like a psychopath um okay you know tell you let’s get back

To the Minecraft oscalus and see what he’s up to what tool building block or machine or game mechanic would you as an archa ologist want to see added to Minecraft in order to enhance survival gameplay but be related to pre-industrial civilization that’s a really good question and and when I first read that

I thought about it a lot and to be honest with you I don’t know um I mean you know we have horses and the ability to put chests on donkeys um maybe like H drawn carriages that would be kind of cool you know we have chess boats and it would kind of be

The same thing you could pretty much just take a chess boat and put two sticks on it that you know went to the horse and a couple wheels and it’ probably work but um yeah maybe maybe horse drawn weapon or horse drawn wagon um yeah I don’t know ooh Spears Spears

Would be nice you know they have swords and they have axes but swords didn’t really come first Spears were first generally speaking Spears are easier to make you can make more of them for a single sword you could make five or six Spears right and Spears are very handy I mean

It’s basically a knife on a stick and so if you have um things like bores or you know in Minecraft what would be hostile mobs you can hit them from farther away it’s not archery it’s not addles or anything like that so you’re not really reaching really far out there but you

Can keep things at distance and I think you know Spears would probably be a good addition to the game um or oh oh you know what the ability to break things down I mean how many times have you killed a skeleton in the game not in real life why how many times have

You killed a skeleton in real life and you know what don’t answer that don’t answer that in the game how many times if you killed a skeleton and got a bow but you already have a bow it would be nice if let’s say you you need a fishing

Pole you could take that bow that that skeleton dropped and break it down into its individual components like sticks and string and then you could use those to make a fishing rod or how many times have you I don’t know accidentally made you know a stack of buttons rather

Than sticks or whatever you know um I think I think breaking stuff down into its individual components would be the would be awesome you can take string and make wool but it’d be nice to be able to Shear a sheep and get a whole bunch of

String from it again you know for a fishing rod or something anyways that would kind of be my I’m kind of going on a rant there um you know the ability to O copper tools and weapons copper I mean we go from Stone to iron there was a

Whole age in the middle there that they totally skipped which is bronze but it’s fine we could go with copper instead um yeah copper tools and weapons or copper armor that’d be kind of nice anyways I could probably go on a rant like this for a long time so let’s

Just move on let’s go ahead and leave him with some early game stuff and we’ll check back in with him later for now let’s go ahead and wrap up this episode and we’ll come back for episode two of the question and answer series but until then see you

Around God it’s nice out here
