    monasteries in Europe and after being

    built in the 8th Century it became a

    center for religion Agriculture and

    Abbey was founded in the year 725 by St
  • 00:11:35
    corbinian who was a Benedictine monk
  • 00:11:37
    from France he built the monastery on a

    hill near the city of fing which was
  • 00:11:41
    already an important religious Center in
  • 00:11:43
    Bavaria the Abby quickly became a place

    for learning agriculture and
  • 00:11:47
    craftsmanship which helped with the

    Region's wider development and by the

    9th and 10th centuries it was well known
  • 00:11:53
    for its farming wine making and Brewing

    over the centuries the brewery developed
  • 00:11:57
    and refined its techniques the monks
  • 00:11:59
    experimented with different ingredients
  • 00:12:01
    fermentation methods and storage
  • 00:12:03
    techniques and this helped to establish
  • 00:12:05
    the foundations of German Brewing laws
  • 00:12:07
    including the famous German beer Purity
  • 00:12:09
    law of 1516 which said that beer could
  • 00:12:12
    only be brewed using water barley and
  • 00:12:15
    hops the brewery was hugely successful
  • 00:12:18
    but it also found itself in the middle

    monks rebuilt and continued their

    Brewing tradition in 1803 however during
  • 00:12:34
    a period of secularization the Bavarian
  • 00:12:37
    government dissolved the monastery and
  • 00:12:39
    its lands and operations were taken over
  • 00:12:41
    by the state this saw the end of the
  • 00:12:43
    Monk's involvement but even though the
  • 00:12:45
    Abbey itself was no longer able to
  • 00:12:47
    continue as a religious Center the

    year 1040 this family-run business has
  • 00:13:15
    been making bronze bells for nearly a

    thousand years and it's known for its

    incredible craftsmanship at the time it

    was hugely important in Christian Europe
  • 00:13:26
    the Marinelli family perfected the Lost

    wax casting method which is a technique

    that has remained mostly unchanged for
  • 00:13:33
    hundreds of years and over the

    generations The Foundry became well

    known for producing Bells with great
  • 00:13:38
    clarity resonance and durability this
  • 00:13:40
    led to it receiving one of the most

    mold that's shaped using clay and it's
  • 00:14:05
    what forms the bell's internal structure
  • 00:14:07
    then a wax layer is added for decoration
  • 00:14:10
    with religious motifs inscriptions and
  • 00:14:12
    patterns being sculpted into the wax at
  • 00:14:14
    this stage then an outer mold also known

    as a false Bell is added that covers the
  • 00:14:19
    wax and takes on the finer details of
  • 00:14:21
    the design next it's all heated which
  • 00:14:24
    removes all the wax and then the molten
  • 00:14:25
    bronze is poured in once this is cooled
  • 00:14:28
    the Mol is broken away and this reveals
  • 00:14:30
    the final belt that's polished and
  • 00:14:32
    finely tuned to make sure it's got the

    that's most popular and it's made by a

    process that's remained virtually

    with the Shop's workers ground glutenous

    dipped in holy water from a shrine it's
  • 00:16:32
    then lightly grilled over an open flame

    modernized this shop has kept its

    Bank notes and investment grade gold the
  • 00:17:57
    Royal Mint has evolved with the the
  • 00:17:59
    times but with the Advent of digital
  • 00:18:01
    currencies there are questions about
  • 00:18:03
    whether it'll still be around in a 100
  • 00:18:04
    years the origins of the mint can be
  • 00:18:07
    traced back to the Anglo-Saxon period
  • 00:18:09
    when King Alfred decided to introduce a
  • 00:18:11
    centralized minting system to
  • 00:18:13
    standardize England's currency in its
  • 00:18:15
    earliest days the coin production was
  • 00:18:17
    decentralized with a number of mints
  • 00:18:19
    across England in major towns and cities
  • 00:18:21
    that were able to produce official money
  • 00:18:23
    but probably in an attempt to exert more
  • 00:18:25
    control over the country and the
  • 00:18:27
    production of money the king wants
  • 00:18:29
    everything to be done in just one place
  • 00:18:31
    by the 13th century most coin production
  • 00:18:33
    had been moved to the Tower of London
  • 00:18:35
    which became the main location of the
  • 00:18:37
    Royal Mint for over 500 years this
  • 00:18:39
    location with the tower provided the
  • 00:18:41
    highest level of security to prevent any
  • 00:18:43
    theft but it also meant that it was
  • 00:18:44
    close to the monarchy so it could easily
  • 00:18:47
    be controlled by the leader during the
  • 00:18:49
    medieval period English currency was
  • 00:18:51
    mainly made of silver with coins like
  • 00:18:53
    the silver penny Gro and Noble being the
  • 00:18:56
    most commonly used but by the 16th
  • 00:18:58
    century the introduction of gold coins
  • 00:19:00
    including the Sovereign and guinea were
  • 00:19:02
    used to show England's growing wealth
  • 00:19:04
    and influence by the 19th century the
  • 00:19:07
    Royal Mint had begun to serve the
  • 00:19:08
    British Empire too producing currencies

    Australia and Africa the gold standard
  • 00:19:15
    which was introduced in 1821 further
  • 00:19:17
    ensured the importance of British
  • 00:19:19
    currency on international trade and
  • 00:19:22
    after a couple of moves the Royal Mint
  • 00:19:23
    officially relocated to Wales in 1968 as

    continue being the producer of the

    addition of steam powered presses that

    allowed for the mass production of coins

    while preserving its centuries old
  • 00:23:14
    Legacy they have a broad approach to
  • 00:23:17
    their wine making and it's one of the
  • 00:23:18
    reasons why the winery has been able to
  • 00:23:20
    survive through to modern times because
  • 00:23:22
    it's been able to Pivot alongside tastes
  • 00:23:25
    and Trends in the mid 20th century for
  • 00:23:27
    example there was a massive drop in the
  • 00:23:29
    popularity of sweet wines and this
  • 00:23:31
    forced them to focus more on dry and
  • 00:23:33

    demands to do this the winery has
  • 00:23:42
    completely eliminated the use of any
  • 00:23:44
    chemical pesticides and herbicides and
  • 00:23:46
    instead uses a natural composting and
  • 00:23:48
    cover crops to maintain the overall soil
  • 00:23:50
    Health it may result in a reduced yield
  • 00:23:53
    but it shows how they're able to react
  • 00:23:55
    with what will be able to be sold at a
  • 00:23:57
    premium to Modern wine drinkers
  • 00:23:59
    especially as by using the same Sellers
  • 00:24:01
    as they always have there's no effect to
  • 00:24:03
    the end quality of the wine they produce
  • 00:24:06
    by doing this they'll likely be sharing

    tradition that highlights seasonal

    it the fact that this onen has been able
  • 00:28:58
    to continuously operate for over 1300
  • 00:29:01
    years shows just how unique and special
  • 00:29:04

    from the time the company began when

    shotoku taii a Japanese Prince invited
  • 00:30:14
    three skilled Carpenters from the Korean
  • 00:30:16
    Kingdom of BJ to go to Japan their
  • 00:30:19
    challenge was to build Japan's first
  • 00:30:21
    official Buddhist temple which was the
  • 00:30:23
    shinten G in Osaka after they had

    begin a construction business that was

    dedicated to the temple building and it
  • 00:30:34
    amazingly remained family run passing
  • 00:30:36
    down from generation to generation their
  • 00:30:39
    work as a result can be seen throughout
  • 00:30:41
    the most famous periods of Japanese
  • 00:30:43
    history and with ancient joinery
  • 00:30:45
    techniques that required no nails that
  • 00:30:47
    mean structures could withstand
  • 00:30:49
    earthquakes and last for centuries these
  • 00:30:51
    techniques were used in temples such as
  • 00:30:52
    the huy yui which is one of the world's
  • 00:30:54
    oldest wooden buildings during feudal
  • 00:30:57

    the abolition of the feudal system and

    government secularization meant that
  • 00:31:19
    there wasn't much to make in Temple
  • 00:31:21
    construction so during this time Kumi
  • 00:31:24
    was forced to diversify with more of a
  • 00:31:26
    focus on non-religious construction
  • 00:31:28
    projects including schools and
  • 00:31:30
    Residences the 20th century saw the

    company struggle with material shortages
  • 00:31:35
    and bombing damage during the wars but
  • 00:31:37
    post-war reconstruction efforts provided

    new opportunities for construction
