I'll listen to it tonight and fall asleep. Then watch it again getting ready for the day. Then again when I make dinner. Thank you for your time and dedication to the history and storytelling!
It’s wild man. TV networks spend millions on making high production value history documentaries and this dude comes along with his mundane voice and pictures from Google and it’s literally a million times more engaging Edit: his voice is amazing but to an Aussie he just sounds like Ringo Starr
Which TV networks still make history documentaries? AHC seems to have a thing for Hitler, and the big H gave that shit up awhile ago. H2 became Vice or something. I see some interesting looking titles on Smithsonian, don't have the platinum package tho, and their shorts on youtube make me wary of em anyway. Ohh you're Australian. Not seen any documentaries from down under, unless you count the 2nd Underbelly... Or Wilfred. His accent does sound from the North, more manc than scouse to me, though. But the Beatles don't seem to posses a strong scouse accent, to me they do sound more like this guy, but I'm no linguist, or British
@@Deebz270 That mishmash of northern and Aussie slang, (You alright, (lil') bro, mate?), was that just words cobbled together or supposed to be a sentence? I'm rightly confused now, I thought our kid was a way of referring to your own sibling, but speaking to someone besides them?
this is a life-saver at work. in between spreadsheets, i stare at my Outlook inbox, praying for a new task or death (whichever comes first). you make these times bearable. please, god, don't stop
Lem Sportsinterviews As soon as I read your first post I was like: “Dude, be glad you have a job.” But very I’m sorry you lost it. Hope you get something else soon. Been there, there now. You’ll get through it. I promise.
Great video! And I love the fact that you actually list your sources as opposed to a lot of other “educational” channels that don’t cite anything or backup their historical claims with evidence. Keep it up 👍
Just found your channel while I've been on a prehistoric/meso/neolithic history binge. While I continue to indulge in this BC era, I'm very much looking forward to your next installment. Hope all is well with you during these times.
The problem with the 'celtic invasion' theory is the lack of DNA evidence. Depsite cultural and linguistic similarities, Spanish cslets are different to British celts and both are different to central european celts. It looks therefore that 'celticness' was an idea bought into, a common religion and culture, shared among different people.
The similarity in DNA between the Brits and the Spanish is remarkable if this study is anything to go by 'eupedia': i.imgur.com/GLL0M9y.png. I have noticed a similarity between the way some Irish and Spaniards look.
I think honestly the Celtic cultures simply evolve out of earlier groups who were speaking dialects of a common language. As important as the Halstatt and La Tiene cultures are in archaeological terms, proto-celtic and italic peoples likely developed from the beaker groups that preceeded them. In this sense there is a much older celtic origin.
@@nutyyyy correct. What's now England mainly druid. Scotland/Pictland. Neither genetically continental Celt. There's evidence of Continental Celts from Iberian peninsula settling in Ireland. Then onto what's now Scotland. Also some evidence of Celts settling in England from what's now modern day Paris. I'm Scottish and see myself as a Celt. Problem here is the Angles, mainly due to Norman conquests, have had it drummed into them that the Celt is some kind of barbarian. Follows on from the Roman nonsense first seen on the continent. Nothing has really changed tbh. To this day. Go check out any Whig Historian. David Starkey etc etc. Btw I've Pict blood. That's Brythonic ie Briton. Yet I don't and never have called myself British. That's just a recent political construct.
@@jambammz9908 youre all over the place. All migrations to britain and Ireland where from the continent, whether europe or Asia.spain is from the continent so youre contradicting yourself, and in turn they were migrants too. The angles are the problem??? There were tribal wars all over Britain, between the so called Brythonic tribes before rome and after, before the angles rule. You say your pict and dont consider yourself British???maybe you're gael, in any case sort your facts and head out lol
Indeed, I thought the same thing. People of this age had no daytime to waste and they needed to be up at the crack of dawn and get to work. So, without alarm clocks at their bedside, the early morning Sunlight coming through Eastern doors and window openings would have been their alarm call. Perhaps the 'man of the house' slept closest to the doorway for both its protection during the night and also to receive the morning light and responsibly get everyone up thereafter.
Anthropologists: These people seemed to revolve their entire day around the sun. Must have been sunworshippers Anyone before 1300's: Yeah, so we have two times: daytime and nighttime. Guess which one we can see during.
I really like the tone and delivery of information, simple in a good way, with loads of interesting details without dumb editing repeats or crazy music!
Really good video. Very well narrated and presented. It's great to see you giving actual sources for your material too. As an archaeologist myself this is the kind of production the industry should be paying people to produce. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next offering.
British people : *mines and creates pretty cool and useful tools for making their lives better* Also British people : *throws them in a freaking river*
just took a lOOk at your channel.........saw Nileti vid......... I like your presentation great stuff!!....note: you take 'history' WAYYyy back........
The next chapter in my opinion is already well documented on and written plenty about. And it would probably take like 10 hours to explain what each queen and king did, all their wars, the Vikings, and more.
Just like to say I'm happy your narration has come on leaps and bounds. You've dropped the "This one time at Bandcamp" style upspeak you had in earlier videos. Much better now.
I learned so much watching this, every few minutes I'd have to google something I wasn't familiar with, but that just helped gather more info. Great video!
This series is extremely interesting and packed full of facts and information that is new to me, and it's not the first video series I have watched on ancient Britain. Kudos to the producer of this series - a superb production.
Always feels like a long wait between videos, but I must say it is well worth the wait. The quality is stunning. This is the kind of documentary that used to be on The Ancient Aliens, I mean History Channel, back in the day. Thank you for sharing this. Wish I could give it more than one like.
I actually caught this 3 hours after it was uploaded! I always feel like I click on documentaries like this, and they already have 100's of thousands of views, meanwhile this has less than 1,000. Nice to catch something early every now and then! Thank you for the upload!
Why’s it so important to you how many Views something has? Does it affect the quality? It’s not just you, but the world seems obsessed with views and “likes”. It’s sad really. Just enjoy the great show and f*ck to everyone else.
I searched this topic last nite and got no satisfactory results. I can only assume that RUclips got in touch with you in the early morning hours and that you made this vid just for me. Thanks so much.
Every time I watch a historical documentary, I wonder how they know the things they know when they happened so incredibly long ago. You laid out the reasoning for how we believe they lived so concisely here citing archeological digs and specific ancient wrritings. I really appreciate not just the depth of information, but the sources as well. Well done and thank you for creating this!
Intelligence, deep research, great presentation, wonderful voice, credited and credible resources... EVERYTHING lacking in our current culture, and EXACTLY what I needed tonight. I could weep with gratitude. Thank you!
having watched (and enjoyed) all the other videos in the series, you've topped them all with this one (cant wait for industrial revolution & victorian era episode in 2027 haha). production quality has improved significantly, your voice has gone deeper too lol
I absolutely love content like yours man. All the documentary/educational stuff here on RUclips. Very well made. entertaining in a nice, interesting and detailed way.
Pure Iron was not harder than bronze. Bronze was harder material but it was rare and was becoming more and more rare because of trade routes demise. 1. Bronze is an alloy of tin and copper. On the other hand, iron is a naturally occurring metal. 2. Bronze is denser than iron. 3. While iron has a melting point of 1600 degrees Celsius, bronze has a melting point of 1000 degrees Celsius. 4. Bronze is easier to cast, but it is harder to forge. 5. Iron rusts, while bronze does not. 6. Unlike bronze, iron has magnetic properties. 7. Bronze is also less brittle than iron. This makes it hard to work with bronze metals. 8. Bronze is stronger than simple iron, but it is weaker than carbonized iron.
Good point. I also agre that the first steel swords (because iron is impossible to find in pure form and once you produce the ore its either steel or cast iron) would probably be worse quality than the latest bronze swords. It was a lot centuries ahead to discover full potential of iron.
i loved this serie of documentaries, it's so simple and yet well explained 💗 but just a feedback: i'd love if the episodes had english subtitles, it'd make it easier for non-native speakers like me to understand what's being said, especially with these kind of ancient topics that have unusual words
I only recently found your channel, so am going back through some of the back catalogue - so glad I've come across it! Thank you for the detailed content - especially going back to the Celts, as not something that was even touched in school!
While "History Channel" is airing what American truckers and non existent aliens are doing, you've come along and showed real history is fascinating. Keep it going. There's an interest in what our forebears actually did, and who they were. You are definitely leaving your mark on our world for the better. Thanks.
I study English language and Literature and this is one of our subjects this year. The visuals help me a lot, thanks for making my university life easier ♥
It is four AM almost five now, I've been trying to sleep for an hour and I found this in a "boring shit to fall asleep to" bit this sis rather interesting I'm more awake than ever and intrigued lol
ha-ha. Misheard narration... When you said “Britain and Ireland” at 4:09, I heard “Britain, an island”. This was the second instance, actually. The first time, I thought "Hmmm. ‘Britain, an island’. That’s a bit odd. Innit?“, but then the second time around, it was like “Oh... I get it”. A good robust American “Rrrrrr”, or whatever weird accent Phil Harding has, would fix _that_ ! But, actually, yourrrr narrrration is _so_ much improved over your first video, when a few viewers made such rude comments. So glad you’ve persisted. You do *great* work! Keep it up!!
The inhabitants of what was to become Scotland didn't speak Scottish gaelic until long after 1AD. But I'm sure anyone from SE Britain wouldn't have a scoobie what a north Briton was saying 2500 years ago -not much change there, the average Londoner has no idea what Rab C has to say
@@teiloturner5374 and the Picts also spoke a Brythonic tongue before it basically became what's now known as Celt. These are the oldest languages still spoken in Europe.
These are my people, I've been searching for clues on my natural tendencies all my life and this video helps illuminate a lot of them all at once. As a kid I was an amazing archer from the get go, could construct/design stick huts without instruction, have built many stone walls that never budge, learned to ride horses bare back almost immediately. I've spent most of my adult life trying to listen to my genetics, as my ancestors were not farmers, and hunted and had full wisdom teeth. My Lawson side of the family cannot eat wheat without a reaction, and I believe that is why Britain's had a slow start out of the bronze age. They probably didn't adapt to grain as fast, and therefore did not have as much surplus calories to dispense with in technological advancement. I'm no expert though, just a distant relative
These videos are very good my friend. I don’t know why people still watch tv when there is such good quality homebrew content on RUclips. Hope more to come
Don't think you were listening. We're not Celts. I'm Irish. They stopped teaching the Celtic myth here about 10 years ago. About 12% of us share the original 'Irish' genome which is most closely related to Sardinia in Northern Italy. The rest of us are descended from the main settlers who were from what is now Ukraine and Southern Russia. They came through Spain, which gives us the Iberian/Basque blood. The term 'Celtic' simply refers to our language. A term which is mistaken. In the 19th century, it was assumed that we were related to the 'Keltoi' who were from central Europe. There was no one race of people called 'Celts'. It was a generic term used by the Romans and Greeks to describe the 'barbaric' tribes of Europe.
Im hooked to these, id like to see them done for every region if the world from the start of hunter gatherer to more sedentary civilizations. Just have them for every region of the world broke down into sections small like this.
Love the Angus McBride illustrations! I wish more filmmakers who depict Celts would use McBride's art direction. They always just end up looking more like shit Evenescence film clips instead
I think the slow development of iron and popularity of bronze was a direct result of the fact bronze does not corrode like iron and it doesn't poison you and give you lock jaw if you cut yourself on its corrosion like iron does.
Hi! I am in love with your approach to history, and am grateful for the minimal ads, and your wonderful transparency about copyright. But... i am in suspense...is the "History of Britain" series continuing or am I to be left wondering what happened after 54 BC?
There are artifacts in the Isles that indicate very early trade with the Continent...and Near East... Phoenecians were more than capable of trade voyages to these parts.
In school history was my favorite class but unfortunately I had a teacher that would put me right to sleep I wish you were my teacher you not only make it eventful but wonderful your voice is amazing thank you for making this channel thank you this is just great I've been binge watching you like crazy:)

@@teiloturner5374no such thing its gaelic
I've never been interested in the bronze/iron ages but my god this was an amazing series, hopefully we see more of the history of Britain! Thank you
Dude it's really awesome please do the next one about Britania cut in half by Roman domination !!!
Are you going to continue this series? It’s so fascinating. Thank you for your hard work!
These are my people, I've been searching for clues on my natural tendencies all my life and this video helps illuminate a lot of them all at once.
As a kid I was an amazing archer from the get go, could construct/design stick huts without instruction, have built many stone walls that never budge, learned to ride horses bare back almost immediately. I've spent most of my adult life trying to listen to my genetics, as my ancestors were not farmers, and hunted and had full wisdom teeth. My Lawson side of the family cannot eat wheat without a reaction, and I believe that is why Britain's had a slow start out of the bronze age. They probably didn't adapt to grain as fast, and therefore did not have as much surplus calories to dispense with in technological advancement.
I'm no expert though, just a distant relative
Honestly just found this video and until I started reading the comments I thought this was an old history channel doc I had missed nicely done
Do doors face East so the first sunlight helps in beginning of the day tasks such as dressing and starting/stoking fires?
Quickly becoming my favorite channel
Please keep going with this stuff, I love it!
These videos are very good my friend. I don’t know why people still watch tv when there is such good quality homebrew content on RUclips. Hope more to come
Hey there, whoever is reading this, may your parents live up to 1000 years.
May your pets live up to 1000 years
Thank you kind sir or ma'am
You know a historical vid is going to be a banger when you hear the ck music in the intro.
Hello, I'm from Siberia, I'm a Tatar nation, I'm drawn to Celtic culture, respect you Celts
Don't think you were listening. We're not Celts. I'm Irish. They stopped teaching the Celtic myth here about 10 years ago. About 12% of us share the original 'Irish' genome which is most closely related to Sardinia in Northern Italy. The rest of us are descended from the main settlers who were from what is now Ukraine and Southern Russia. They came through Spain, which gives us the Iberian/Basque blood. The term 'Celtic' simply refers to our language. A term which is mistaken. In the 19th century, it was assumed that we were related to the 'Keltoi' who were from central Europe. There was no one race of people called 'Celts'. It was a generic term used by the Romans and Greeks to describe the 'barbaric' tribes of Europe.
@@keithandersonbrady5026I do not know much English, then I will translate your dialogue
Im hooked to these, id like to see them done for every region if the world from the start of hunter gatherer to more sedentary civilizations. Just have them for every region of the world broke down into sections small like this.
Love the Angus McBride illustrations! I wish more filmmakers who depict Celts would use McBride's art direction. They always just end up looking more like shit Evenescence film clips instead
It's incredible that the feasting of this period still occurs to this day in the form of state dinners and garden parties.
I love that you use BC and AD. Easier to comprehend information quickly and easily. Thanks
Really enjoyable documentary. Thank you for your efforts!
It's really great love to learn about how we lived long ago
Such an excellent and engaging channel! Big fan!Please do a video on just the Halstatt Culture!
I think the slow development of iron and popularity of bronze was a direct result of the fact bronze does not corrode like iron and it doesn't poison you and give you lock jaw if you cut yourself on its corrosion like iron does.
Can’t wait for the next instalment. Awesome stuff!
Hi! I am in love with your approach to history, and am grateful for the minimal ads, and your wonderful transparency about copyright. But... i am in suspense...is the "History of Britain" series continuing or am I to be left wondering what happened after 54 BC?
I can't wait for the next video in the history of Britain in which he will the cover the 1st millennium AD. I'm really enjoying this series.
This is a great discovery! Wasn't expecting this to be so good when I clicked on it!
This is so well done.
There are artifacts in the Isles that indicate very early trade with the Continent...and Near East... Phoenecians were more than capable of trade voyages to these parts.
Yes tin and copper ore were most likely traded as far as the middle east
@@markmitchell450 even further, perhaps...Iran, and even Indus.
Yes that was covered in the previous video.
In school history was my favorite class but unfortunately I had a teacher that would put me right to sleep I wish you were my teacher you not only make it eventful but wonderful your voice is amazing thank you for making this channel thank you this is just great I've been binge watching you like crazy:)
