Video game Minecraft inspires homeschooling on Bronze Age history for archaeologist and his daughter

"I knew Bella had access to the education version of Minecraft at school here, near Wrexham, and I had access to it at my university.

The game is famous for players being able to build almost anything out of graphic blocks, creating massive worlds and playgrounds. Rock art recovered from Bryn Celli Ddu is also represented in the game, alongside a model of what a Neolithic home may have looked like nearby."It was planting the trees," he said.

Dr Ffion Reynolds, from Cadw, said it was exactly children such as Bella who would benefit from playing with the Minecraft model. Coronavirus restrictions mean Cadw's sites across Wales have been closed to the public, including Bryn Celli Ddu.
