      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.

    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.

    • @nutyyyy
      @nutyyyy 4 года назад +8

      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.

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.

    • @johnny_pilot
      @johnny_pilot 4 года назад +18

      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.

    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.

    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!!

    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

      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.
