Pretty sure he did flux (red heat, brushed, fluxed and then back in to bring to welding heat). That being said, notice he's keeping it buried in the fire where its neutral, so probably could have done the weld without the flux.

Why you so wrinkly? Your hands were normal later on the video, did you record the intro after 3 hours in the pool?

Before torches I guess but then you didn't have anvils then either but that doesn't count.

Anvils have been around, in some form, for about since about 6,000 BC. These are traditional techniques, so what a blacksmith would use before 1890
