Who is complaining about the voice of the creator/narrator?? It’s clear, articulate and pleasing. Absolutely pay no attention to the fault finders. You’ve done it all and it’s great work!
What are people's complaints? I've only seen praise for the doc.
NO FAULT in our dearest friend and ally. But the skins of ANY thing is creepy, UNLESS, cold and below 70F.
That peron whome noted Soothing, well Spoken.😂
Screw the complaints about your voice, it’s soothing and informative. Keep up the good work mate!
Agreed, I don’t understand those complaints. There are a lot of bad narrators out there but this guy is not one of them
I realize this is old, but the top comments are ALL super positive.
Who complains.. this is the David Attenborough style turned historical. It's perfect. No added drama just a calm explanation.
Wait what, who's complaining about his voice?
I listened to the whole first episode without hearing anything wrong in his voice. Went to the comments and saw uptalk complainers. He uptalks at commas, not full stops, which is appropriate. He annunciates well, speaks calmly and not too fast, I'm taking in info not thinking about his voice.
Narrator: It was Britain's first know house
Me: Nice
Narrator: And by extension, it was Britain's first known home
Me: *holding back tears* Nice...

I normally find it hard to follow documentaries and things like this, but this is the most straight forward and easy to understand documentary ive watched
Hey RUclips, give this guy more attention.
It's as if a professor who has dedicated his entire life to this research summed up everything he could into one lesson. Exactly the info I've been looking for for ages, in just 4 videos
you my dude have single handedly cured almost all of my anxiety since i found your channel. i’m nd; history is my special interest, and your videos are so calming and never overstimulating!!
I'm literally using these videos for the same reason right now 🙈😂
Same here! I’m ASD and they are my fav videos here and help w anxiety a lot
Check out NORTH 2. same as you dude these videos help ya chill. Peace man.
Oh hell yeah that’s awesome

What a fantastic documentary. Free of annoying sound effects and constant loud music. Calm and intelligent narration. Great information. I am looking forward to watching the next upload and undoubtedly re-watching all of them many times. Thank you!!
Ditto!!
I found some of the music to be incredibly distracting but alright...
Totally agree
Really like your delivery and lack of hyperbole. Really good to listen to. Look forward to more! Keep it up. Really interesting and really well made.
Quite, the lack of emotionalised BS, just clear presentation of the facts, is what I miss in todays TV
zzebowa it’s not facts he’s just reading translations of roman texts. The Roman texts have not only been misquoted but they were mostly False sensationalism created by roman generals to make themselves look good in the fact they conquered the lands. This man says the people of Britain were barbarians like it’s a fact. That is not a fact. That is what romans told the people back in Rome. With no mention of the pagan religions. Same story throughout most of the world. We don’t know our true history. But I know what this man is saying is just ancient Roman texts about the place which have been translated from a language that no longer is spoken into a language that was no spoken at the time.
@@monkeyballs9499 You completely misunderstood what I wrote.
The David attenborough of youtube history
@@monkeyballs9499 the matter of how the facts have been gained are meaningless... are entire historical facts are based on the same things.
It's the best we know from are ancestors.
Narrator: 'Humanity had stumbled across perhaps the most signifigant invention in all of it's history. It was discovered far away from Britain, in a temperate region of the Middle East along the valley of the Euphrates river.'
Me: Beer?!
Aaaaand weeeeee'll drink drink drink to Lily the Pink, Pink, Pink/Or the Sumerian equivalent o-o-of!
There is evidence that beer was one of the first products made. The quality of water wasn't good until very recently. Drinking beer or wine was widespread, and from almost birth until their death. Cholera was extremely common. Only those drinking wine or beer didn't get it.
@@GregSchmidt711 There used to be a theory that the first grains were cultivated for food. In the last 30 years or so there's been a theory that the first grains were prized for their use in the manufacture of beer ...
There is a popular theory that civilization began specifically in order to produce beer.
*Thank you for making such a well done educational video & for doing your part in giving justice to our manipulated history.*

Hear hear!
yes, another well intended comment.
@@minutemanual you said "here here" first, didn't you? We've all done it lol
Indeed. This certainly is a high quality top comment.
This is great. The clear structure of the writing, and your un-fancy but sincere delivery brings the history across clearly. Also major props for your approach to creative commons and credits. Quick bit of constructive criticism; a bit of script doctoring would prevent repetition like "the significance of celestial events would have a greater significance.." : cf. "the significance of celestial events would have been emphasized" or whatever. But anyway, this is seriously good. It should be on the BBC really.
Something about this narrator and how he says certain words in ways that would normally make me think twice in such an informed way that I absolutely love.
This is a re-made version of the original Stone Age Builders episode, after I pulled the original due to some copyright concerns. I hope you enjoy it.
The Bronze and Iron episode is taking a little longer to remake due to issues licensing images. I'm therefore moving on to my next original video, which I hope to have out in the first week of September.
They had nice art.. now they can stuff it up their asses ans enjoy looking at them from within.
Thanks for your excellent work!
Fantastic! Looking forward to your next video! Worry not of delays, focus on quality. :D

You sir, have robbed the ages of my valuable insights that I left in the comments of the old video....
Thank you for your hard work on these documentaries. I can't wait for the next one to come out!
I really like how you make them - simple, honest narration. It feels like actually talking to you, which makes the documentaries feel more cordial and engaging.
Superb work my friend 👍😉
I'm loving these shows!! I grew up watching in search of history on the history channel in America. The guys voice is epic from that show and yours is too! I haven't seen much of your videos as I put them on to go to sleep with but I've definitely found a source of awesome material with a great narrator!!!
Your documentaries are fab! I really enjoy your narration and choice of imagery to support the script. Keep up the good work.
Your voice is so soothing mate I’ve been falling asleep to yours and Crofty’s videos for a while and I always have the best dreams

I know this is a couple of years old, but I am first following your documentaries and I just wanted to congratulate you on such an improvement in dictation and vocal tone in your presentation. The earliest Britain video had a lot of vocal inflection that was distracting and I saw a bunch of comments complaining about it, but to your credit you adjusted and now sound like a fantastic narrator.

Thank you, for a very informative presentation of Britain's past,. As a Dutchy living on this island, there's so much to explore and learn about its history and ancient monuments.
I hope you are enjoying your time here :)
I wish more of the people who move around the world took the same kind of interest in the places they land. This planet has been full of peoples with outstandingly interesting histories! I love seeing people genuinely interested in them.
Rarely do I watch a documentary this long. Great work. :)
These are very well crafted and informative. Nicely done! Also glad to see you sorted out the copyright problems.
If anyone has noticed that the way the guy narrates this documentary compared to his older ones is far far superior. I couldn't hear sentences as if they were questions and the flow is so much better as well. You sir are on your way to becoming the go to channel for us history buffs.
Fantastic summary, I love the detail and your obvious dedication to the history of our forefathers. This was very enlightening. Thank you!
Damn! I was watching the video
Go to your page and see you only have 2 videos !!!

I hope you continue

Great work
I love your work, amazing documentaries!
That is really excellent and I can't imagine how long it took to pull this all together, from a variety of open sources media and knowledge. I did the same type of work a couple years ago regarding the history of French civilization, and it took me a few years. Very well done, Mr. Histocrat, and thank you so much for sharing this!
Nice! Was waiting for this next edition. Great work Histocrat. Keep it up! :)
Boy howdy, what a treat. This was fantastic! Thanks from Texas. ❣️

it’s so sad that we’ll never know how they felt, literature truly is a god gift
Interested in the manufacture of stone items and the very large time needed to make them. If the early Britain's were anything like the Maori in New Zealand this work was undertaken by the old people, beyond the age when they could undertake strenuous work or warfare. They could, of course, sit around talking and endlessly grinding away at their latest stone project. Some truly fine examples survive.
That's a really cool thought. I get the feeling there's a deep history to the Maori that we don't get to see much of.
Most native colonized places have alot there history wiped so we will only have "myths" passed down and incorrectly told as the ones who knew specifics are killed first to cause instability
Very informative and great way to learn about the pre Roman times. Thanks for all your work
I'm enjoying these so far. More intelligently informational than dramatic reading as I've heard in some documentaries.
Great series, thank you so much for your work. Great narration. So many videos cover at best from the dark ages forward. Love that you went back a million years
You have a great voice for this kind of stuff. Just found the channel and absolutely loving it. Keep it up excited to learn.
Just commenting to hopefully keep this vid alive in the Algo. Love many of Histocrats vids, have watched a ton.
Your documentaries are top quality, easy to understand but go into good depth. Love it!
Thanks for NOT gagging me with adverts
Adblock has existed for quite a while now.
Wish I could go back in time and live like this. No Bill's to pay can't be bad it's a simple way of living but your more in touch with mother nature and I bet people didn't waste things back then.
Plus that amazing 30-year life span! How cool is that?!?!
@@kraanz it's a common misconception that most humans prior to the 20th century died in their 30s and 40s. The reality is, if you made it past age 10-12, there was a good chance you'd make it to your 60s or maybe even 70s. Anything beyond that is arguably pointless. Do you really want to live into your 80s or 90s, to the extent that your own body begins to fail you? Humans aren't meant to live that long.
@@damienmcgonnell6032 We're talking about Stone Age here. Not "a few centuries before the 20th." It's "a few millenna before."
@@kraanz okay, but from the stone age up to the 1800s, life expectancy at birth didn't change much.
That's a lot of fascinating revelations in 40 minutes
Rewatchable af. Thanks.
If you made a video a week at this length I'd still watch every single new video multiple times a week.
Brilliant explanation. It will be interesting to see what the next few years will show us with the technology we now have to scan the ground and see whats under it without needing to dig.
I can’t wait until we have the technology to get a better understanding of coastal migrations and settlements that have been under ocean water for millennia. It’s an exciting time to be a history buff lol
76 mile diameter hill at Newgrange? Now that is impressive. Glad to see you sorted out the use of images and still made a fine looking, informative and great video. Well done.
Newgrange mound is 76 metres (249 ft) across and 12 metres (39 ft) high, and covers 4,500 square metres ...not 76 miles.
Miss K yes, I thought so. A mistake in the video. He doesn’t make many and it tickled me. Thanks for setting the record straight Miss K. It’s an impressive monument and I want to go there one fine solstice day.
I am pretty sure he just misread "76m" from the script and no one caught it in post-production
Yep...and it's not even in Britain. Not sure why it was mentioned.
Commenting cause you deserve hella more subs cause your content is about as good as it gets and I am fortunate to have access to it.
This is much more interesting than whats on tv . Thank you for expanding my mind..

Interesting note on the origin of conflict, lots of anthropological evidence suggest people become more generous and communal in times of hardship and famine. Conflict stems from accumulation and surplus, not scarcity.
I wish i could just go back in time and be an invisible fly to observe what the goings on around stonehenge looked like, dancing? feasting? light from torches and fire? all of the above? must have been a sight. I wonder what they sounded like when they spoke to eachother, or maybe even singing songs at one of these feasts during solstice
Working my way through these documentaries. Thank you for making them.
I watched a program on the Ainu of northern Japan and talks of no conflicts. It is amazing what a little competition for resources causes so many deaths here in Britain
That sounds more like propaganda or lie of omission than a truth. Humans fight. It's nature.

@@kikufutaba1194 When someone tells you that "no person of this culture ever attacked another person," you are allowed to scream BULLSHIT right then and there.
And from the magicians that knew how to pull swords from the rock, we got the legend of Arthur, as the latest edition we know of. The oral tales i guess go back thousand's of years before that. The one who knew how to draw the sword out of the rock would become king, sounds like a whish from a chieftain who did not possess the knowledge of metallurgy, but saw the huge advantage over stone tools.
Very interesting take. Thank you for that. Usually, when something is 'odd' or overly-fantastical in mythology (a sword in a stone, an unusual concept) it requires a key to unlock and understand it - sometimes the answer stares at us directly in the face. Its a shame so many take it for its literal value, and do not seek allegorical, moral, and anagogical meanings.
Love the style and focus on the basics. Trustworthy history is hard to find! Thank you.

I didn't get much history in school in Canada either nor did I have a single teacher who seemed to care about it much. I remember as a young adult discovering history books and just being amazed to know a little more about my ancestors.
This is an absolutely brilliant series, my grandkids love it mate. 👍
Really fascinating. Love your content. Very well researched

Awesome stuff :) A+ narration in this one great delivery
Kudos on your work! Too notch documentary.
As an Australian directly descended from some of the earliest criminals Britain shipped here, I don’t have much of a historical culture to be proud of. But this video makes me tear up to hear about the people of these lands. Excellent video.
You've got to learn more about the early Australian settlers/convicts! Super enriching and a fascinating beginning to our very young colonial history. I also found it deeply enlightening to learn about the indigenous of my local area, and finding relation to their culture and our contrast.
So damn interesting - and I love your choice of music to accompany the visuals and narration. Great games with great tracks!
Thought i started ck2 by accident there!
lol me too

Hunter gatherer was as has been mentioned before was the greatest time for humans to have lived. Total freedom without tyrants taking control of groups of humans total freedom to travel without conflict no debt to anyone commitment and love for your group
"Without tyrants taking control of groups" Doubtful.
"without conflict" Extremely doubtful.
There has always been a hierarchy, in modem times it is governments and "royal" family's back in these times would of been the bigger and stronger preyed on the smaller and weaker. We know they killed animals they wouldn't of stopped at killing one another especially if it gives them what they ultimately wanted.
@@kraanz yes, there were power hungry individuals, but without the power of the state and advanced weaponry, without the support of their people, they could've been easily deposed by the tribespeople they sought to control. Any conflict in those days would've likely been restricted to individuals or small groups, never amounting to full scale warfare.
11:15 - 11:51
Actually the first scenario is correct. Archaeogenetic studies on human remains from the era have now proven that the wave of farming that crossed Europe in the early neolithic was indeed brought by a farming people who spread out from Anatolia. They eventually reached Britain, having mixed with many of the native hunter-gatherer populations on the way.
11:40 - That is not strictly true. Mesolithic Europeans as a race don't exist anymore whereas the Neolithic farmers from Anatolia who replaced them still exist in the form of Sardinian highlanders. Some of the Mesolithic Europeans intermarried with the Anatolian incomers, but there is nowhere where they did not physically invade and bring farming with them.
fantastic work, thank you. please hurry! best thing ive watched history-wise in ages

c'mon people 🇬🇧
Its so amazing how far we have all come to today. A slow process but incredible. Its always good to remember the roots
I know this is off subject but I hope you will enjoy this information. Most people including professors and climatologists do not realize our current climate is an ice age. I find this lack of understanding by the experts pretty disturbing but I understand it as the result of people repeating facts instead of cracking them open and looking inside.
I just thought you as a person devoted to truth of the past would appreciate this knowledge. BTW DeGrasse has mentioned that our climate is an ice age so I am not the only one who noticed.
320 million years ago glaciers formed on Earth they lasted until 280 MYA. That period was the Karoo ice age, and that ice age ended when the glaciers completely vanished.
No glaciers existed on Earth until 3 MYA. (277 million years without glaciers)
3 MYA glaciers formed on Earth and at our current date 30% of the land is covered by glaciers.
I hope you enjoy knowing this fact, I found it very interesting once I realized it was being overlooked.
BTW if you feel like this kind of post is not wanted on your videos please let me know I do not want to offend or come across as a know it all jerk.
Not sure why this was in my suggested videos but I’m glad it was this is a great look into Britain’s history well done can’t wait to see what you do next!
The way you narrate and present this is just right.
Absolutely fantastic documentary series! Thank you so much
I always find it funny that modern Britains, Italians and Americans are somehow 'history shamed.' I consider myself a part of all three of these identities, both genetically and philosophically. I'm glad that today the US, UK and Italy are military allies so there is not a sharp distinction between the three. I think most modern Britons prefer the nation-state system they developed as a Roman outpost. America inherited this nation-state system from Britain. Of course there were individual heroes and villains from all three groups of people, but if you asked anyone in Britain who their tribal elder is they will give you the same look that a Roman or American would. This is the big difference between East and West (Iraqis and Afghans absolutely still have tribes, where most westerners have not had one for thousands of years).
Your videos are bliss! Love them and love the sound of your voice. I’ve even got my teenage daughter hooked on your videos. 🥰
Your voice is soothing and pleasant to listen to while I love the history. Keep up the wonderful work.
Great video. Perhaps you could do a video about the end of anglo-saxon England and the harrowing of the north during the Norman conquest.
Are you confusing Normans with the Northmen, as in, Scandinavians?
Love this series
I like the fact that this chap uses the established and traditional BC and AD, instead of the new ‘improved’ politically-correct BCE and CE.
Why would he say BCE when BC is shorter
It's just easier for everyone to understand BC and AD don't be such a bitch
ReAL passw0rd thot destroyer What is wrong with you
There are structures similar to the henges outside of Britain too, also aligned with the sun's position during solstices.
The one I visited in a region formerly rich in gold ore and other metals had very interesting features (a narrow ditch that has a path through the site, like a river perhaps, a big disc like stone to the side marked into radial sections, a smaller wooden circle next to the stone complex) and you could even see shiny golden flecks in some of the stone.
It's definitely prehistoric, probably from a similar time period as these more well known henges, but locally the site is known for it's dacic and roman name. It's not known if it used to be a religious site or more of an observatory/calendar type structure but it's very beautiful and surprisingly large.
I say surprisingly because you can even walk about most of the site and take a closer look, which is something that I was disappointed I couldn't do when I visited Stonehenge. But it's understandable, with the volume of tourists that visit it every day. In comparison, this other structure is not so iconic and internationally renowned so it's more protected from destruction.
We know from ancient DNA studies that farming was brought to Britain by the Early European Farmers and we can see their genetic imprint in Britains once they adopted farming
