lately, its something I wanted to do before moving on to anything else. I realize that showing actual archaeological artifacts and ancient ruins is unfortunately inevitably boring. So to keep the interest level at least as high as a documentary film strip shown in a classroom, Ive decided to use classic movie scenes, -specially selected and cleverly edited- to look like the things Im talking about. On all of my videos, people ask me where certain scenes came from. So Ive decided to list those references here:
Conan the Barbarian (1982, Arnold Swartzenegger)
Highlander (1986, Clancy Brown)
Braveheart (1995, Mel Gibson)
Hercules (1983, Lou Ferrigno)
10,000 BC (2008, Steven Strait)
One Million B.C. (1940, Carole Landis)
One Million Years BC (1966, Raquel Welch)
Caveman (1981, Ringo Starr)
Clan of the Cave Bear (1986, Daryl Hannah)
Clash of the Titans (1981, Harry Hamlin)
