If you don't have an impressive bank vault to protect the family or business treasury, what do you do during times of upheaval? Well, in England folks bury things. They wrap up the silver, the nice earrings and necklace set that Aunty Calpurnia sent from Gaul, and stuff the lot down a whole in the back garden,or in the cellar floor. Of course, they do intend to dig it back up again when things calm down. But, stuff happens. The folks who have done the hiding think they're being clever by not telling anyone where the family/ business treasury has been squirreled away, that this is the best way to stop anyone from doing something foolish. And then something of a drastic nature happens , removing the "hider" from the scene, leaving no one to return to where the hoard was hidden. What could have happened to the owner of this collection? It was obviously worth quite a large amount. No one would willingly have left it behind.
Sadly I went to The Museum of London in May 2018, and missed this through sheer lack of knowledge. There was an exhibition of the history of London, but nothing I could find about where the Hoard was or any of the items found in the Thames. Now I have to hope to save the money, friends and health to go again.
Incomprehensible post. Do you speak English? You certainly can’t write grammatically, so I’m guessing it isn’t your first language. Try this: “If I had been the one who found this, I might have fainted.”?
I was thinking much of it could have been buried during the Civil War to protect it from Cromwell's army (they melted down everything else). Not sure if the dates add up, though.

these items may ba part of the jewels missing from a royal kings carriage bogged down in the muck along a coastal area several treasure hunting tv programs have shown people searching for it - also these could have been hidden by someone during the war a jewelers treasured possessions tucked away during the bombing of London - thinking they would return after the war? that is where I would be looking for info on who worked the shop at later dates.?
However, dearie, the Great Fire took place in 1666, and the narration states that the jewels date to Shakespeare’s era. He died in 1616. So... try another theory.
@@judeirwin2222 It's not impossible that they were hidden away by a pawnbroker as the Great Fire raged, in which case the jewels could already have some age, and even be considered dated by the fashions of the time. I'm of the mind that they were stolen goods, personally, which would support the surreptitious nature of their concealment.
@@crazyoldhippieladyinthebib7357 Hi another crazy old hippie lady here! I majored in art history and I outta know but I don't, I guess I shouldn't take so much at face value huh! You are right. Think about the scams involving the so called great auction houses over the last few years- what are a pair of crazy old HIPPIE ladies doing coveting such stuff!

Probably hidden by someone , the only one knowing the location, and who subsequently passed away unexpected without being able to return, and the probable reason behind hundreds of latter-day treasure hoard finds. In this case, as there were so very many and wide ranging items, ( mere speculation I suppose ) could have been the booty of a thief, caught & hanged...so someone got lucky.
How is it Cleopatra if it's 200-300 B.C.?Berenice II was 250 B.C. and there were many Cleopatras before The Cleopatra. Must have been an earlier one. Not really the same. Still fascinating...but still. Details.
She got that amazingly wrong didn't she.? And it's not even remotely the face of Cleopatra (the last one). It's probably just a representation of Isis.
The cameo of the Egyptian woman’s head could NOT be that of Cleopatra as she would not be around for another 3 hundred years.. This is a really embarrassing statement to make...!!
I believe the Cleopatra you are thinking of was actually Cleopatra VII Philopator, from a line of Ptolemeic Queens who shared the name Cleopatra. This leaves the possibility that the curator is correct and the agate is a representation of a Queen Cleopatra, just which one. Presumably the family symbolism, used to identify them to their subjects, was passed from monarch to monarch, much like the UK Royal family.
This is jewelry from the early 1600's and possibly passed down from generations before that time, as well. Cleopatra was a queen in the B.C. times. I don't think this curator was remiss, I think there were artisans who copied those way-early jewels, or these were passed down through many family, and war histories.
@@wendypeterwendywendy Even when professional historians say "Cleopatra," they mean "Cleopatra VII," and she's talking to a layman, so that's certainly what she means here. I've seen that cameo described as THE Cleopatra in multiple other places as well. She just made a mistake.
Well Mr Leane, this series couldn’t have found a better narrator. Your knowledge and enthusiasm shine through. Thank you.
At last, a narrator whose genuine enthusiasm shines through. 👏🏻
If only we could all enjoy seeing this full collection from Cheapside Street.
I was so lucky to be in London when this exhibition was on, and got to see them.
I envy you. I lived in London for 10years but never heard about these until I came home to Lancashire.
That emerald watch though!!! Totally mesmerizing.
Joanna Salvanou All I could think of was, more those blue gloves away, because I was to see it unobscured. Very large gems indeed.
The Museum of London is fabulous, and free admission -- don't miss it if you are in London.

Has anyone tried matching the pieces to historical portraits?
A very interesting approach Christine, it may be the conduit through which final provenance happens....?

If these were found at the jeweler's shop, they may never have been worn.
Great idea.

If in Cheapside they used to make and sell jewels I wonder what amazing things they sold in Dearside...
Ohhhh England, I'm so jealous of you and your history! To me, the documents at ~9:10 are just as precious as these unbelievable jewels!
What's the matter with you? Are you jealous because we hadn't invented America at the time the jewelry was buried?
@@Scooot1972 invented America hahaha

Hidden in a hole.. was a whole lot of nothing.
My favourite treasures, nothing comparable from this period survives
Is there a part 2? It seems to cut off before finishing.
yes there is
This is fascinating. I have never heard of the Cheapside Hoard. Why is there only half the story?

The emerald watch fob is beautiful.
I was so fascinated that I froze when the video just abruptly ended. No worries the next part follows.
Cheapside? How did it get that name?
It’s great to hear the Greek name Berenice pronounced correctly! In Greek, it’s Berenike, of course, but the Romans stuck in their C for the K sound.
They spend a lot more time on the faces of the conservators than the actual jewelry. A bit disappointing.
The imagination just runs wild. I can't even look.
The very definition of hitting the jackpot! Astounding.... if I was the one that found it, I might as well got fainted 🤣
Incomprehensible post. Do you speak English? You certainly can’t write grammatically, so I’m guessing it isn’t your first language. Try this: “If I had been the one who found this, I might have fainted.”?
Fascinating
Very interesting. Could the jewels have been stolen hence the burying of them?
I was thinking much of it could have been buried during the Civil War to protect it from Cromwell's army (they melted down everything else). Not sure if the dates add up, though.
I was thinking spoils of one the wars in 1600's or so. Just a thought.
Is there more to this video it stopped to soon but very,very interesting.
Lauren Southgate yes, there’s a part two
very interesting
That workman should have kept some of the treasurer for HIMSELF!
Why are some of those pieces not monogrammed? That's the question I have for this. One of them anyway. These are beautiful. Thank you for this video.

no...theyre later than that. most are early 17th century, she was already dead.

The hoard was discovered in 1912, so it couldn't be a result of wwii.
