What a treasure. If you ever have the chance to see the British Museum, take it. If you can, spend as many days there as you can. One could spend 8 hours a day, for 5 days in a row and still not see everything on display in its full glory. Every nook, every cranny, every wall and corner holds a rich and wonderful story.
It is such a wonderful experience going here and then watching this.I included a few memories from this Museum in my video too.Born in Stone: Ancient Greek Sculpture, Photography Show
From the age of 6 in the colder months of the year My father took me very Sunday to the British Museum. No church Culture.I bought my first estampe At 12 a Leonardo de Vinci drawing in sepia of a lady. As a Nation people do not realise how privileged they are to have these artefacts of History to study. I stopped visiting at 15yr's. When I went to study in Paris . There i had the Louvre. It did not hold the same attraction . Preferring art . There I was delighted by the impressionist .
You seem like a delightful person Sonia , and you have, very smart parents or a very smart father . I was raised by scholars and culture was my food . WE didn't have museums , but i was raised by an archaeologist and theologian working for the university of Reykjavik and Copenhagen (father) and an anthropo-ethnologist (mother) working for the UNESCO documenting intangible world heritage . Excavating sites were my playgrounds as a kid and by the age of 14 i had lived in over 20 countries, my favourite being the middle eastern ones, and living with the Inuits and the Native in the US and Australia . Strangely enough , Nature and the wild fauna and flora were my obsession, far more than people or their culture . Today I am a veterinarian and ethologist , but museums are definitely my favorite places to spent any given time off i can afford . Art , science and craftsmanship are by far the greatest legacies in human history.
The jewelry is exquisite-hard to see how these hard garnets could have been cut without a diamond wheel. The jewelers that made these were every bit as skilled as those at Tiffany's today.
you believe the people at Tiffany's are talented? you mean the computers that make all the cuts? or the children that do the packaging? or do you believe that the people at Tiffany's actually hand craft anything?
The first time I really remember seeing an image of this was a picture of the replica used on the cover Bernard Cornwell's retelling of the Arthur legend. The Winter King
This helmet is very similar to the helmets found in Vendel Sweden, although they are a bit more simple they are still very similar. The motives are the same, the technique in making the metal, the way the person was buried, etc. In this time the Swedish king lives just a few miles from Vendel in Old Uppsala in one of the largest halls in Northern Europe. Is this a member from the royal family in Uppsala?
Noticed them also. First thought was they look like ceremonial horned helmets in pre-Viking art in Denmark. The style is different, the other ones are more erect with several curves and they are longer.
Funny you should say that. I stopped the video to look at them as well. I wonder if they are even headdresses, perhaps they are decorated helmets . Either way they sure do look cool . Would love to see a replica made of them or some more research done on this . We know so little about this era unfortunately .
They do not take credit for other people's achievements they list off all the nations that are featured in their exhibits, im greek, and I'm glad all the treasures are in the british museum God knows that Greece could afford to maintain these treasures the same way Britain does. I'm just glad that their exists a place where we can examine and marvel at them, and where they are safe.
The answer is in the video. The boat dissolved as well leaving only an impression. It's common for instance to find the impression of a wooden wall or palisade buried though the wall itself has long ago rotted.
Is it any good? I skipped past it not realizing it was based on Sutton Hoo.

Sutton hoo = west geatic dialect = väst götisk in to days swedish language. Yes it was a dynasty from the time when the anglians and the west geats together made Anglia to the leading might. The west geats were very forward and cultural people and their king Hygelac was a historical king and Beowulf was fighting for him and became king after Hygelac fell in a battle around 521 in Angeln. I know where Beowulf killed Grendel and died at the rich mans hill and was buried on the Whale mountain 11 km from my villa 90 km north of Gothenburg. It´s a true story.
The English are a West Germanic people though they came from Denmark and the border of Germany. They came to Briton Vogican king of the Britons invited then over after the Pics caused some shit, but they said they wanted to stay because the land was better then were there were from. so they kicked the ass of the Britons out of Kent set them packing to London. Any Briton was called Welsh meaning slave. My gandad farther name was Cadby meaning Nordic meaning settlement. So one of them was a Viking Settler in England.

@Van Aser The Grendels were beings looking like the figures with eagel like heads on the sumerian tablets, I say they were operated Pteranodons Beowulf pointed at the arm which was cut off from Grendel during the fight in Hrodgards beer hall. They examined it when it was hanging from a beam in the hall. Here he had planned to stuff me into this leathersack he said.
i went to a normal comprehensive school and this helmet was on the front of all of our history text books, being a snottly little average kid i didnt take much notice. most of the covers and inside photographs of these books were filled with graffitied cocks and fannys and crude funny speech bubbles on most the pictures of historical moments, many, many, years later visiting London i seen his helmet for real and it floored me, that was the bloody helmet that was on my class school books....then the research began, the old saying "if i only knew then what i know now" !
Or you could have the American version. Overdramatic presentation, exaggeration and misuse of the facts, intermittent commercial breaks followed by an unnecessary recap made specifically for the slow of mind. I'll take the piano tinkling thanks.
They're men with horned helmets being displayed on the murals on the helmet. They're not headdresses. They're Anglo-Saxon warriors with horned helmets.
Very interesting perspective on the early days of the British Isles. As to the ridiculous arguments about bronze or iron being better or worse, hammered or soft, Chinese or European - the argument was settled by the total eclipse of bronze I favor of iron weapons. Case closed. I know of no bronze armed army that prevailed for long against any iron armed army. Iron led to steel, and most peoples the world over developed steel at about the same time and many had excellent steel for edged weapons, if a warrior could afford them. Many Ottoman sabers, Spanish Toledos, Mogul swords, and even African examples are made of excellent steel. Bronze sword making is a beautiful but obsolete art that is being re-found today. Viking Era swords of fine steel (actually made in Germany) - are as good as anything produced commercially today. All this, according to the internet, so it must be true....
its amazing the cultures, peoples of many ethnicities all mixed over so many years giving Britain the most amazingly rich history and artefacts, adding to who we are all now............and then all let down by some of the idiotic comments left here!

The English (Angles) were the most northerly of the west germanic tribes and had a lot of dealings with the southern swedes. East Anglia and Sweden even bear the same coat of arms. That is no coincidence.
The Jutes or Eotas were a Saxon grouping who lived on the borders of the Franks, who they were heavily influenced by. This is borne out by the close relationship the Jutes of Kent and Hampshire had with the Franks in the 5th and 6th centuries AD. It is a myth that the Jutes came from Jutland.
+marius offing That's one theory. But it's not as widely accepted as the Jutland theory.

Sutton Hoo dates from around 625 if it is the grave of Raedwald King of East Anglia and Bretwalda, the first Viking raids on Britain were in 793, so it can't be Norse

Not really. It is our culture too. Our days are still named after our old gods. Wodensday= Wednesday, Thursday=Thors day etc. They were our God's and it was our culture too. England is literally named after a tribe from modern day Denmark after all.

The Sutton Hoo burial is dated to 610 - 635 AD so more like 1,400 years old
'Redwald' means educated/councelled ruler. 'Bretwald' means wide ruler. 'Athelwald' means noble ruler. They are titles.

How would they have known with so much certainty what patterns were on the helmet, when in fact it was so fragmented and rusted?
because they had clues to the patterns, boars and dragons,sacred to the old gods of the north
7:40 Those are torques. Unusually large ones have been found. Head dresses, not necklaces?
So the body was dissolved but the wood remained 🤔 and where is this persons sword.. amazing find. The serpent symbolism is very interesting.
