In case you may not know, there is a channel called Objectivity that is mostly about showing things at the Royal Society, and Keith is in many of his videos. He even did an interview or Q&A just about Keith and his life/career quite a while ago now iirc.

I would be fascinated for Adam to talk to art handlers, object mountmakers or museum conservators one day. On a daily basis we interact with objects like this and I think if Adam went to hang out during either a museum or gallery exhibition changeover he would be in his element! Not only for the objects but how skilled exhibition technicians are.

Adam has gone from building scary looking machines and blowing things up to this. That’s a hell of a life arc.

Man. I wish I had the power to replace myself at meetings. "Here's a stick, put that on the conference table... imma be at home."

"We haven't hit anyone with it ... yet" Fear the day when the librarians bring out the maces!

Love the closeups - showing even the flaws. And Keith is always a legend!

Keith has become the most popular exhibit at the Royal Society. Reigniting a passion for learning new things and for learning the history of a Nation is a noble endeavor!!

I've seen so many episodes of Objectivity that seeing HL Keith Moore here makes this feel like a cross-over episode of a show lol. Awesome.

Adam gets to do the most amazing things. And he's put himself in a position to be able to do these things through years of hard work. We just get to sit back and enjoy his Rewards.

I find it fascinating how Adam's eye for detail caused him to ask some unexpected questions about things (i.e. the lion mace mount) yet Keith Moore is so knowledgeable that he quickly provides the info.

This is going to be one heck of a build.. Probably more than a day.😆

The Virginia General Assembly has one of these too! They put it out in front of the dias in the House of Delegates whenever the GA is in session. It was a gift from the British government to the pre-Revolutionary House of Burgesses . (Although the one they use today is a replica. The real one is in a vault somewhere.)

Very cool to get a chance to handle it rather than behind glass. I have a framed medal and certificate awarded to my great great (great) grandad from the royal society… I should research it more.

The Commons mace has been grabbed and wielded a few times over the years. It's not an approved use. 😂

Really enjoyed this one.

Adam should buy a 3D laser scanner, scan all these amazing objects in great detail, and upload the files to the public. It will be a great way to spread interest and knowledge about historical artifacts.

Ceremonial Maces are owned by the majority of British City, Local, and County Councils. Many date from Queen Victoria's reign, gifted by rich patrons to the people on Victoria granting a place/city a Corporation. Victorian ones were usually made in Birmingham, UK, where there were expert silversmiths and jewellers. A few, like the Royal Society's, are much older: Durham and Hartlepool for example still have their maces given during Elizabeth I's reign over 400 years ago.

Very interesting piece, I could see the separations of the sections and was wondering if was screwed together of had a central "rod" .

Oh how I like a good old fashioned tradition. Like beheading Kings, for example.

As mentioned there's a Mace in the British House of Commons. There's one in Canada, too, and I'm guessing Australia and New Zealand. We had an incident here many years ago when an M.P., in protest, touched the Mace. Very big trouble, potentially. In that case the M.P. got a proper scolding, had to apologize to the House, and it was very embarrassing for him. It's even illegal for someone to encourage anyone to touch the Mace.

That is the craziest thing about visiting certain places. On this side of the ocean, anything that's 100 years old is revered, anything over 200 is behind glass. But travel to Europe, and nobody bats an eye at that. In Athens, some stuff is very protected, but some is not. It's out there, doing what it's always done. As in, the columns at the ancient greek agora are where they were two thousand years ago, and you can touch them. You can SIT at some of the benches at the Roman agora. They where benches a few millennia ago, and still are. Egypt is even crazier, specially Luxor. You can *touch* and experience first hand things made by humans 4000 years ago. You get to walk inside the tombs and temples. I can't even describe how that feels, it's truly insane.

Nice!

"Try not to drop it." Keith! Did you not see the last video?

8:15 - Just a WAG,but I would imagine you "holster" the mace as to not appear threatening. "We come in peace,Your Majesty"

It's good that Adam didn't release his video of dropping a glass object before he filmed this video. If he had, the Royal Society librarian wouldn't have let Adam near the Royal Mace 😂

Adam really building up that Interesting Stuff Cinematic Universe

Seems like one or two arguements were settled with this mace... 😁😇🤟

These two guys could be brothers... It was more fascinating to me to compare Adam with Keith with their mannerisms modified by culture but oddly very similar...

I never thought about how heavy those must be, but being mostly silver it makes sense. The House of Commons mace apparently weighs nearly 8 kg.

They look like brothers

That looked surprisingly natural on your shoulder… is there something you’re not telling us Sir Adam?

They should run that through a scanner that can handle metal, to reveal what's inside and how it may be taken apart for repair.

Adam is obsessed with pretty much anything regarding the United Kingdom, the culture, The Monarchy, etc

That mace was probably easier to reason with than Charles 2nd anyway.

If I had to guess - and I obviously don't HAVE to - I would say the reason the mace is held with the heavier, "business" end of the mace is held under the arm and away from the monarch is so there is no suggestion of aggression. Maybe?

I thought the Fleur de Lys represented France on account of the King of England still claiming that until either the Treaty of Paris or of Amiens (I forget which)?

I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on this Titan submersible thing.

I wonder if the society would benefit from running the mace through Lumafield's scans to see the internals?

🙌❤️

I'm honestly more curious about what's going on with the door mechanism on the case it was stored in

The fleur-de-lys would represent the old claim to the French throne of the English monarch, I think, not Wales. Wales, if it had been represented, would have a leek or a dragon. But Wales had been completely legally incorporated into England in Tudor times.

I suspect the reason for the reversal of the mace in the presence of the Monarch is because it's held in the least functional and threatening way possible. It shows that the 'wielder' has no intent to use it in Their presence. The Japanese katana is also carried in the right hand, with the blade forward, when carrying it in a way that's intended to show peace and a non-intent to use the weapon, as it makes it hard to draw quickly with your right hand.

I assume the reason the mace is held like that when the monarch is there is because it can't really be used when held like that. if someone was just carrying it over their shoulder it could be used against the monarch before guards had a chance to intervene... at least historically.

Has Adam been to the Royal Armouries in Leeds ?

A mace is essentially a metal club. The first weapon specifically for killing people, rather than food, was likely a club.

Interesting grandmother by marriages family were very successful and influential Jewelers in Chicago (Juergens & anderson) she had many very fine stones one of witch was a part of a larger Stone that was used in I believe Queen Elizabeth's crown.

@@ilikemandalorians9861 Being interested in symbology and iconography, I started googling to try and figure this out. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this dates back to Edward of Woodstock (1330-1376) who was given the title Price of Wales and who was the Heir Apparent to the throne of England. He was also an accomplished military commander in the Hundred Years War who successfully campaigned in France. This is little more than an educated guess on my part, but I assume the fleur-de-lis is a reference to those campaigns. It's also worth noting that the Hundred Years War was fought specifically because an English king was pushing a claim on the French throne. It makes sense that England would have employed traditionally French iconography in this period. Obviously, this was all long concluded by the time Charles II came around, but the fleur-de-lis seems to have stuck around on various English seals for several centuries, nonetheless. I have literally no idea whether or not any of this is actually correct; this is just what I came up with after a couple minutes of research.
