Description

This week Neil takes us with him to Llandudno to explore deep within the belly of a mountainous sea serpent.Across the world the powerful marriage of copper and tin was producing a new metal alloy that was propelling the future of our species and driving a new age, the Bronze Age. Around 4000 years ago, at the Great Orme in Clwyd our ancestors started mining copper one of the metals needed to make this new metal alloy. The result, a vast almost industrial operation, helps shine a light on the drive, determination and sophistication of our ancestors - the mine they dug is the largest known prehistoric copper mine in the world.Check out the Podcast Instagram Account - Neil Oliver Love Letter Hosted on Acast.
