I remember my father once found a round pistol bullet thats been casually sitting in the middle of a tree for at least a century

Well, you see, you need to start realising the true perspective of Polish history. Poles had SO MUCH “history” in their history that theey could easily supply full set of history not to one, not to two, but certainly to let us say FIVE countries without the history on their own at all, and this would be with spare… This is the reason why many places like the ring fort do not really cut into the league of highest interest of the discoveries over there. Yes it is true that in Northern America anything what is more than 300 years is considered a fantastich archeological success, but in Polamnd you have hundreds if not thousands of them almost at every second hill or third mound in the land. Armies were going east and west, north and south through Poland for way more than thousand years, 34 countries inveded Polamd, ande hundreds of battles took place there. In fact in Poland there is a saying, a piece of a poem that says that every stone there has a story to tell, and trust me these are the stories you would love to hear as they very often are TRUE reports of authentic historic events that happened there. How many times I have heard stories of the elders in villages relating what was happening hundreds of years ago out there by that forest, or by that settlement. Poles know their history way better than any other nation, and they cherish it too. This is how we learn our history, not just form books, but from our families, from authentic PARTICIPANTS of these historic moments carried out down the history throughout the ages. Many Polish families have their own family history written down and passed down the liniage to the next generations. Since computer era came upon us Poles are transfering these writings into electronic version and passing even more. There are many books published each year that originate from these materials, all authentic, all rescued from wars and disasters. Poles are known for phenomenal aptitude to history and tradition. They had one of the first chronicles in Europe written down yet in middle ages and published few centuries ago. Be careful though when you run free around Polish forests. When we were kids it was not uncommon to still find in forests some bulletsm unexploded charges or even bombs that never exploded. Some kids paid for this adventure with their lives so BE CAREFUL - as winds of war REALLY blew over that land way too many times even in quite recent times of the WW2. And while you are there, in these beautiful forests … don’t miss a great Polish tradition of learning wild mushrooms and go with them into the forests to pick them up. This is truly Polish tradition and one of the best ones. When I ended up in Canada I met once a group of natives and we ended up talking about wild mashrooms. They could not believe that out there is a whole nation where people know mashrooms as well as their elders. How about that… And also ask Poles to make you a true stew out of these mashrooms… and try it also in famous Polish Bigos… you will never forget it. Enjoy Poland!!!

i for example live in close to royal castle ruins that was and is part of "szlak orlich gniazd" and this one is the most northern one and comes from the aaround 14th century was build due to Casimir the Great orders and i live like 3 km from it also around me in aprox 250 meters - 1km +/- in every direction there is a WW2 bunker from small hole in the ground to anti aircraft bunker or tank hideout i bellive. And im sure there is more historical sites around me that i dont even know about or are not lets say asigned

You see, as a Pole its hard to learn our own history, our country is soo old and have so much documented and not documented history. You just cant learn everything, recently I found out that my familly house is on burrial mound from 1300s....

there's a medieval castle ruins on every other hill in some parts, there's like 15 old castle ruins in 50km radius from me, most of them overgrown and completely unattended. as you said, plenty of history.

Really appreciate authenticity of content, not just picking what's appealing to algorithm in specific country... in this case Poland. It was really great story about this swedish ruins. I subscribed and i'm waiting for next video! Good luck with your youtube career

Kiedy tobie się wydaje że po 1 roku wiesz już wszystko o Polsce i rozumiesz to jesteś w błędzie. Ludobójstwo dokonane na Polakach w samej WWII 1939 w rejestracja Polaków było 34 miliony. Kiedy już w 1945 Polaków w rejestracji było tylko 21 milionów, nikt nie udokumentował masowych grobów 1943 Lwów, Wołyń i Ukraina do była Polska. Kolejną sprawą Polska okupowana przez ZSRR od 1945 do 1989 NKWD to małe czapeczki z Izraela wybór Józefa Stalina oni żądzą piszą fałszywą historię świat płacze o nich a krzywda stała się nam.

Awfull title and typical media trick. To much history? Tftc

Our history is our heritage. If now for the history, we would not exist anymore, so if this tires you l have a suggestion for you to go home and take care of your country's own problems Do not like our history? You do not have to be here

Problem chyba z tobą, wracać do domu. Zrób filmy o problemach w USA moze

only one? man, you're outdated :D :D :D

totally valid point of view, on the other side if we dig all remains of old past poland would be nothing but hydepark ;) however i get your point there are many underestimated / unrevealed to public places of remarkable history. Blame Gov and lack of funding.

Thats true, Poland is full of history. Even in my little village we have many interesting places that are full of these "markings"😃

We have many problems. Who doesn't?

Check out the one near the lake "Żarnowieckie". There is what remained from an ancient slavic town

TBH half of the country is one big museum. If we want to make everything a musem then there is no place for progress. Poland has one of the biggest history in the world with tons of battles, wins and loses, cultural impact from other countries. There is always something that can be restored. And there are still many bombs in the ground that can explode XD

1. Look at SRTM (satellite radar topographic mission) - you can check out lots of weird structures in forests, there is lots of them. 2. Look for the nearest regional museum and then district museum. I bet they have documented this somewhere but it's in analog. I've seen digitalized documents of my village somewhere, huge story about crusaders, german tribes, i would not imagine - only few locals maybe care :) 3. There is lots of century-long-history here, lots of wars, Germans, Swedish, Germans again, Soviets. There are groups of people that detect something all the time with metal detectors.

I'm commenting as an American w Polskie pochodzenie - I think it's great coming across an obvious historic relic but having no initial knowledge of it. One thing I can attribute it to is, for me living in the central eastern part of USA, is the Nike missile bases. There is an awe that comes with coming across it, and then this yearning and hunt for knowing what it is by researching it through the internet and asking locals.

Yeah, we are in the geographical middle of europe... it means we are between Russia and Germany which after Roman empire collapse means we are not having holidays...

As curious as I was to watch this video I couldn't get past the 3 minute mark with this guy's "ah's" and "um's" separating every word or two, made it too agonizing to watch.

Thank you!

Thank you!

But You have it... What about old indian culture...you try do not remember it because you closed they in reserves and killed them. Unfortunately you don't pay attention to this and this is important part of yours history.

there are archeological sites in Poland where you have houses/forts built on top of one another over literally thousands of years. There are even old forts/circular enclosures dating back to 5500BC oh and check out Gora Zyndrama, the earliest stone fort on the site was built around 1700BC and the latest one was built already in the Middle Ages. Anyway in many parts of Poland "Swedish walls/forts" are actually what people used to call early medieval "grody" i.e. forts with walls made of earth and timber.

Hey :) i live near Nakla. If you want we can make some kind of collaboration. I know a lot when it comes to pomeranian region so i think it would be interesitng to see on yt

The reason for this is that those who were aware of these structures are long deseased. Because of this, Poland has a regulation that requires you to notify the local authorities of any such sites you come across and they are unmarked. In general, that's how it works. But yeah they are pretty amazing!

That's not a problem- that's an issue

It's just because our government is more interested in to handing out money to banks and milioners instead in to valuable thing's, also Ukrainian history is completely neglected and suppressed in Poland, and this history is massive 90% of people in some parts of historic Poland we're Ukrainian, our anthem was completed and played first time in Przemyśl, 1000 year old Kievian Rus forts just rot in forest without any mention and many many more

Problem is Poland spends too much time dwelling on more recent history such as their rabid warm feeling for the very large nation east that occupies 12 time zones and their worship of the real estate located in Oświęcim that they are fixated upon.

Quick explanation: 200 years of our history fu... Sucks. We don't want to come back to it. We want to develop and look into the future. But our brains are bombarded by ww2 s**t by history addicts. I hope you.udestand now.

Great video. One doesn't have to go far. In the forest on the east side of Radość outside Warszawa there are lots of remnants, e.g. trenches showing the opposing lines from the 1920 Polish-Russian War. No signs.

Thank you Sir. When in Gdańsk you should visit KL Stuthoff. Very close to Gdańsk

Part of the problem with the pieces of history that are left to rot, is the legislation. Say you would like to buy an old palace and restore it and the oryginal building had copper roof. The new one must be copper too - can you think of the cost of it with current copper prices? So people give up on the project. The state would rather let it rot than relax the rules and let private investor turn it intro something majestic again. Check Pałac Słonowice - a succesful project.

Many Polish treasures were stolen to Sweden, so the most important thing is to return them to the country. (I will add a note from Wikipedia here) The Deluge was a series of mid-17th-century military campaigns in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. in Poland and Lithuania this period is called the Swedish Deluge, 188 cities and towns, 186 villages, 136 churches, 89 palaces, and 81 castles were completely destroyed in Poland.During the wars the Commonwealth lost approximately one third of its population as well as its status as a great power due to invasions by Sweden and Russia.[9] According to Professor Andrzej Rottermund, manager of the Royal Castle in Warsaw, the destruction of Poland in the Deluge was more extensive than the destruction of the country in World War II. Rottermund claims that Swedish invaders robbed the Commonwealth of its most important riches, and most of the stolen items never returned to Poland.[10] Warsaw, the capital of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, was destroyed by the Swedes, and out of a pre-war population of 20,000, only 2,000 remained in the city after the war.

Hello. Good content. Greetings from central Poland.

There's thousands if not more of these forts, in some places they're like 1km apart in almost a grid. If they're marked as archaeological site then you will have very hard time building anything on them, anytime you want to buy or sell a building parcel(or a building with the parcel, or a flat) the seller has to include an attachment showing the location of archaeological sites in the area. Farmland iirc is excluded, but then again nobody's going out of his way to plough something like that(with how uneven the ground is). Theoretically someone could do illegal archaeology there but it's dubious because there simply isn't much to find there. The classic pottery shards and charcoal kind of findings, not really any treasure, not even human remains, and it's generally known(to anyone even remotely interested in them for any reason) so nobody does it. At the same time we have a backlog of findings from them sitting in big boxes from the excavations in the 1960's that weren't properly combed through so it's not like archaeologists are enthusiastic about doing excavations there either. A good enough sample of what can be found there was already found.

Mate, Poland has been a battlefield for hundreds of years. Polish, Swedish, Russian, Soviet, Turkish, Moldovan, Czech, German, Prussian and Austrian armies clashed here. There are not many such post-war facilities, old camps, etc. has something important for Poles. We cannot and do not have grounds to examine the hole in the ground today after the winter stationing of troops from any period, because there is nothing new there. Buttons, buckles or small coins - that's all you will find - the remains of history. In Warsaw alone, you have many forts And you can see it on google maps. However, Poles are passionate about history and if you want, you can watch the Olaf Popkiewicz channel on yt. They look for relics of ww1, ww2, Hanseatic wars, Polish uprisings, and they also find Roman fibulae, or a pre-medieval cemetery

You have to consider one factor, Poland was destroyed and burned down to the ground many times just in last 300 years, because of that its really difficult to care and renovate all history sites. Nazi camp in Nekla been next railway station. Few miles from Nekla is small village Giecz with Archaeological reserve, current study is suggesting first capital of Poland probably was there. In 70’s reserve manager was Stefan Sojecki who was 1944 Warsaw Uprising radio presenter, radio called Błyskawica. You right there is a lot history in Poland.

Yeah their real problem are fake friends like amrricans and enemy commie russia that is loved by anti commies in usa xD oxymoron republicans are

Ci są u władzy, nie chcą aby historia Polski sprzed Chrztu w 966 r. Była znana. W szkołach się jej nie uczymy. Nie chcą żebyśmy wiedzieli, ze jesteśmy starą cywilizacją, że Lechia to było potężne imeprium. Teraz mówi się o tym czasie, że to tylko legendy. Ale Twoje odkrycie świadczy o tym że tak nie jest! Dzięki!

Dude... from Poles point of view - I live in a place, not city but place in that city that were occupied, that someone lived for at least 1000 years before. I know that few hundreds of meters from me are buried remains of settelment fom that time period or older. My city's administrations know that for at least 80 years, just now they want to unburied it. Also in that area is renovated defence tower from XII century that you can visit... and there are many many places like this around. Every where you step there is at least 600-1200 years of histroy below your feet and that is similar for most of the Europe if not older. We just not have the funds to uncover and maintain everything.

As someone already mentioned polish archeology has a lot of red tape, for that reason most of them aim for conducting excavations abroad. Even if you google the phrase "polish archeologists" you'd most likely get articles about foreign excavations instead of domestic ones. Another reason is that Poland always has been a melting pot of cultures, since most archeologists specialise in one specific field we have big issues with proper coordination in conducting excavations. Lastly there is a labour shortage, domestic polish archeologists have their hands full with excavating unmarked graves which are extremely numerous through the country, either from ww1, ww2 or many other. I swear to god, in my home town each time there are some road works they always have to send in a team of archaeologists because they found some old skeletons.

Old World, especially Europe, has archeological "Klęska Urodzaju", as we call it in Poland, because there is *JUST TOO MUCH* things to preserve.

"Poland has a problem" Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

Archeological excavations costs, so often the only chance to research are resque operations when f.ex. the big road has to be build on a site. That's Polish reality...

We have many hills visible from the air revealing structures of old strongholds.

Have you seen Jon Levi's channel? There's ton of starfort and castle remnants everywhere in the U.S. and in Canada.

I think it is impossible for any developed country to maintain every historical object as kind of mini museum. Hundreds of holes in the forests nearby my area are medieval silver/lead mines.
