The biggest revelation was proof of technology needed to produce cloth which was never before seen in Britain and proved these villagers’ lives were anything but primitive. But behind all the incredible revelations is a mystery. The village is perfectly preserved because it burned to the ground. Was it a terrible accident or a deliberate act of violence?

To his detractors, Disney represented everything that was wrong with American culture, from its saccharine sentimentality and simplification of history to its redirection of our attention from reality to fantasy.

Sixties chart toppers like Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder found new and deeper voices in the 70s. And of course the 1970s was also the decade of disco and punk. At opposite ends of the musical spectrum, both disco and punk ignited broad cultural changes that came to be equally emblematic of the decade.
