I have to ask, but first please know I'm the product of the U.S. education system: Tony said the timbers are so well preserved due to the oxygen free water- but isn't water made up of two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen?
I think it's different when it's oxygen in the air. I know things are preserved for potentially centuries underwater but as soon as they take them out, they start to rot and decay.
There is no "free" oxygen in the water. The oxygen that makes up water is bound to the hydrogen, so no "free" O2. Think of an aquarium; without something to add oxygen to the water, the fish literally drown because there's no O2 dissolved in the water.
“Oxygen free conditions at 2 meters below…” he did say it, what’s meant is: there is Less oxygen in water than being out of the water & on dry land. Great catch & good question. Hope that helps
That's due to a combination of factors. Charcoal is pretty inert to begin with. It's physically fragile, but other than that it doesn't break down or degrade over time. Very few animals or microorganisms will eat charcoal, and there isn't much life in lochs like that one anyway. There's also not too much water circulation. Even during a storm, only the very top layers of a loch that size are going to be disturbed. So basically it's an extremely stable material in a fairly stable environment.
@@pennymitchell8523 Yes, I agree with you. I do however think the 'teachngs' of Christ are beautiful. If only these evangelicals would examine them and take them to heart. Fat chance of that though.
I enjoy Time with you thanks 😊 🖖👍🤠⛏️⚒️🇺🇸💯the Flint is Amethyst beautiful 😍
Pure heaven
Finally I see aPhil with knee pad ,bless you all for amazing information.

francis pryor seems to have APED the Theories of Mike Parker Pearson.. .
"This Bronze Age symmetry", or "This Iron Age and Roman symmetry". How does Britain have so many symmetrical graveyards?😉 😂
Yippee!!!!
How would these things like charcoal and such last underwater in a Scottish loch for over 2k years, relatively still very near the surface?
Odd.

@@extendoduck I understand the logistics of that, but it just seems strange that things that are older than Christ would be so close to the surface.
I think I found your problem!
Lol!
@BryantPP .....as the story of christ is fairytales this is irrelevant
