A Helicopter trip back to 300 B. C. : For nine months a small
A Helicopter trip back to 300 B.C.: For nine months a small, hardy group of people have been living an authentic Iron Age existence in a specially-constructed village at a secret location in Englands West Country. Living in thatched huts with mud walls, they wear smelly animal skins and coarsely-woven cloaks, clean their teeth with sea salt and shaven twigs and use leaves instead of toilet paper. The group, now comprising five couples, is recreating life in 300 B.C. in a one-year experiment for BBC Television which will produce a series of programmes from film shot by cameramen who are not permitted to aid the group in any Twentieth Century way. Originally another couple the Ainsworths, and their three children were part of the group but one childs sickness forced them to leave in December. These pictures, obtained when the British newspaper Sunday People hired a helicopter to find the secret location (but kept in secret), represent the first look at the Iron Age village.

A Glimpse into the Past: Journeying Back to 300 B. C. This print takes us on a remarkable journey back in time, as we witness a small group of intrepid individuals living an authentic Iron Age existence. For nine months, these resilient souls have embraced a life reminiscent of our ancient ancestors in a specially-constructed village nestled within England's enchanting West Country. Immersed in their role, they dwell in thatched huts with sturdy mud walls, adorned in smelly animal skins and coarsely-woven cloaks. Their daily routines involve cleaning teeth with sea salt and shaven twigs while leaves serve as their substitute for toilet paper. This dedicated group, now consisting of five couples, is partaking in a one-year experiment for BBC Television. Intriguingly, this snapshot unveils the hidden location that had remained undisclosed until the British newspaper Sunday People commissioned a helicopter to uncover its secrets. These exclusive images offer us an unprecedented glimpse into this meticulously recreated Iron Age village. It is important to note that throughout this unique endeavor, cameramen were strictly forbidden from providing any assistance using modern-day conveniences or technologies. The resulting film will soon grace our screens as an enthralling series documenting their extraordinary journey through time. Let this photograph transport you back centuries ago; marvel at the dedication and commitment exhibited by these brave souls who dared to live like our forefathers did so long ago.
