Like Mexican Metate (the grinding Stone), the same is also used traditionally in eastern India and Bangladesh for grinding spices. It has a flat rectangular shaped stone block as the platform and a round stone to roll on it (just like rolling-pin). My Grandma, Mother and even my wife used it until a few years back.

As a child, homemade bread was starting to become something that fewer people bothered to make or they left it for special occasions. This in Madeira Island, Portugal. Bread made in a vulcanic stone oven with flour and sweet potatoes. Luckily my cousins decided to learn the art from their mother. Both boys and girls and now some of the grandsons start to learn it too. You can buy the same bread at the store, but it's really not the same. If you've tasted the homemade one, you know how fake the one from the store is. The sweet potatoes need to be mixed in with the flour, this makes it harder and heavier to mix. Store bought often just add small pieces of sweet potatoes rigth at the end to make it look like it's the traditional one. And there is one sort chourizzo (but not quite) that only one of my sisters in law continues to make. And I'm maybe the only one willing to help her. But everyone will come to eat it. That special dish will sadly soon disappear. There were also handmade baskets, handmade embroidery, home woven carpets... lots of things that got slowly replaced or abandoned. It is sad to see these arts disappearing. But most require so much hard work that even as a piece of art, it's hard to keep the skill alive.

What I've noticed is more of the lack of appreciation of these types of products. People seem to be ok with a piece that looks good but isn't the read piece of art. And i believe it's because of people's lack of education. We don't teach our children the beauty of something handmade with natural materials. I live in mexico and see people trying to bargain with artisans all the time, and sadly, these artisans have to lower their prices just to be able to afford a living. And i think that's what goes on around the world with other artisans. That and the fact that convenience is, well, convenient. We buy fast fashion because it's cheaper and we can buy more of it, but then it gets ruined and we dispose of it. Instead of buying quality items and having them fixed. We don't appreciate the time and ability other things take, we buy bread in bags when out there, there is a baker that does it on a rock oven. We have to show our children to appreciate all that it takes and that cheaper isn't better, even if it looks similar, it'll never be the same.

What a great pleasure to find this documentary, every country should embrace their traditional skills, the skills of indigenous peoples, artists working in ancient mediums, and support them as treasures, who knows, one day much of the practical crafts may be needed for survival, and art alone is an expression of love to the Earth and universe.

What blender chefs don't realize is the metate is made of stone and after many uses it becomes seasoned. It will impart a unique flavor characteristic that you can't get with a blender. I love our history!

So much respect for Pheach and Crum in Cambodia. The genocide of the Cambodian people was horrific, it's incredible there were enough crumbs of knowledge left to resurrect the craft.

I love all these ancient crafts being combined with some modern tools, whilst still preserving the art and keeping it eco-friendly and sustainable

- 41:44 Poor Crum. 😢 I'm so glad to see her doing much better now. 💕 ❤

I’m glad these people are doing this work still. The only way you can preserve these ancient crafts is by giving every person a Universal Basic Income worldwide. “Many had to quit the craft to make a living.” A UBI is called love your neighbors, making sure all people are surviving, and have enough to meet their needs for their entire lifetime. Because someone can get too sick to ever work again. Also you can save these crafts by making these videos.

The artisans and craftspeople were amazingly talented. I do hope you can provide their business links to buy directly from them. They really need to be supported. Thank you.

For most of these crafts, it is the traditional culture of wherever the craft is from. For these things to survive, everyone has to pitch in. The artisans, the populos and the government. They all have their part to play in order that an important part of a nation's culture is never lost to eternity.

I have been hand making bread since the beginning of covid and have taken to gardening in order to make my own tea and liquor and just because I truly enjoy it. I've been finding myself wanting to learn how to make a lot of things by hand and I'm currently teaching myself how to sew my own clothes and make my own soap. Maybe someday I'll be good enough to sell some of my stuff.

The canyon is so steep that when the river is at flood stage, you can drive along Hwy 70 within 35 feet of the unrestricted riverwater, which is broiling 10+ feet higher than the roof of your vehicle. The centrifugal force of the canyon keeps the water in its channel. It is an unforgettable experience.
