There is an old english poem called "the ruin", written in the 8th/9th century. They were in awe of the ruins of roman briton and couldnt understamd where it had come from,so they associated it to a race of giants. The first part of the poem is as follows. This masonry is wondrous; fates broke it courtyard pavements were smashed; the work of giants is decaying. Roofs are fallen, ruinous towers, the frosty gate with frost on cement is ravaged, chipped roofs are torn, fallen, undermined by old age. The grasp of the earth possesses the mighty builders, perished and fallen, the hard grasp of earth, until a hundred generations of people have departed
They probably knew about Romans by then. Most likely the use of the term "giants" was just a figurative term for the Romans, describing how mighty they were. That's such a neat poem, thanks for sharing its existence!
They weren't stupid. Any remotely learned person at the time knew about general history and of the romans. The other commenter is correct in saying that the term "giants" was just a figurative term.
Medieval peasants may not have known much about Rome or its empire. However the nobility almost certainly would have, considering the Eastern Roman Empire still very much existed during this time period.
@@JuliaPatterson-sc1st Nearly all medieval folk at that time were illiterate, no history books, just legendary hearsay mixed up with whatever religion they believed, they'd have had no concept of the Romans as we do.
Wasn't Latin the lingua franca of all the post-Roman empire countries? International trade relied on this common language, as did the Churches. It wasn't a complete Dark Age.
God damn, it is almost depressing to look at. I don't really like AC games, especially the newer ones but they nailed the atmosphere of dark ages in here. You see the wonders of the ancient world being mere shadows of their times, slowly falling apart and being replaced with subpar version of a city. You feel that "good times" are long gone and not much you'll do will ever bring it back.
People back then would have acknowledged and greeted a stranger walking through their village. They'd also try to get the latest news from the towns he'd passed.
Depressing to see all those once-great Roman buildings fall into ruin - yet still close enough to be able to truly tell their grand scale. Truly...Roman Britain was far better than anything that came after it for centuries to come.
the game is adding structures. ancient lunden looked nothing like rome because it was a forward base ran by assimilated locals, lots of mortar/stone walls but not a lot of columns
Romans built all this on the backs of enslaved Celts after robbing Celts of their lands and leasing back to them for rack rents. What was forged in blood and fire would break by it as well, and that happened when the Angles and Saxons stormed in much like the Dane Vikings after them
@@DieNibelungenliad yea that's very true, Rome had ARMIES of enslaved and yet that never gets talked about. Like the great Roman bathhouses required so many enslaved people underground to keep heating the water.
Very true, slave Labour helped build these structures. However they were built to Roman architectural specifications/designs… they were Roman creations of ingenuity. Also legionaries were trained in carpentry, stone masonry etc as a second profession for when they retire
Plenty are around. although not so oversized like in the AC. part of Roman walls is still visible in London, also in York and Winchester I think. Also couple of churches in England are actually still of Roman origin.
Easy way to get robbed by a gang of thieves Robin Hood style. Doubly needless when just about everyone was wearing hoods and cowls back then, especially monks
to all the people who ever thought video games were childish, tell me how this isn't at least equal to reading a novel in how cool it is to walk in Viking England!
The majority of games nowdays are childish probably because of strict regulations. There's no raw sex, no extreme scenes in games, a lot of the times they're just boring for adults. I would like to see a proper game about 120 Days of Sodom but that would be a true revolution in gaming.

Amazing what gaming provides us with = imagine how it will be in the future. What a time = we can explore the past in more immersive ways than ever before
I'm astounded by the detail--it's actually a very somber experience from my modern perspective to see the remnants of a mighty civilization. One would be tempted to think 'the inhabitants must've felt pretty insignificant', but that might be a bit of projection. I suspect that the denizens of the post-Roman West probably viewed the increasingly decrepit infrastructure more pragmatically, and without any nostalgia: a wonderful source of ready-worked stone, for one thing; a handy shelter in some cases; or useful for repurposing into homes, churches, fortifications, etc (all of which I believe are depicted in various AC videos, to the very great credit of the designers and developers). All of which is to say: the locals would probably have viewed Roman ruins as part of their everyday world, useful as a material resource but not of any special significance. Indeed, in some cases objects such as ancient temples might be viewed as 'the abode of demons' while baths (whose water supply had long since vanished) would likely have been viewed with blank incomprehension (and also as another good material resource, lol). Still, for me, it's a melancholy sight....
Nice breeze blowing that day.And the sun is out.Just as well when your waist high in water brrr! Bet he will be ready for a bite to eat after such an arduous walk.
The obvious route from Lincoln to London would be down the old north road but the walker seems to be on a sight seeing tour of the midlands and the south east. There are no mountains in the south and midlands of England and Venonis is located in land as flat as a pancake. . The journey would have taken over a month. The gates to London would have had sturdy doors to block the entry of invaders and once inside the place would be small and crowded with houses, no big open spaces. They probably would not be lighting fires under the eves of thatched roofs. Roman ruins would have been pulled down are the stone recycled for new buildings.
Yes, right. But in the video the people in the streets have the wrong physical types. London was then a very Saxon town and men would have had a beard and longish very blond hair just as women and children.
Just found out about this channel, and it's a very cool concept for RUclips videos. I thought I was the only one that appreciated such things. Congrats on the videos! Maybe make one for Bioware's Anthem?
Very good. I doubt valuable marble/bronze statues and any metal fittings would still be in situ 470 odd years after the Romans left though. Successive waves of Christians, Anglo Saxons and Vikings would have seen to that the minute Rome left Britain to itself.

Romans knew that all be eventually one as they obliterated Carthage, Britain gladly wasn’t heavily Romanized. Dark Ages are often misinterpreted, life continued pretty much in the new Anglosaxon, Celtic, and Scandinavian setters’ territories.
Humanity now is more enslaved than ever. I truly believe we are in a reset. No one can build anything close to ancient architecdture. Read how difficult it was for them to rebuild Notre Dame after the fire. They struggled.
A reset happened in 1800 and the Freemasons took over the free marvellous buildings and now they are planning another one !! Your eyes are opening it’s a civilisation that reigned all the world and it was extremely advanced and had free energy !! Search about Tartaria.
They only struggled because they didn’t want Norte Dame to collapse. It so old and was heavily damaged they had to play it safe and rebuild slowly to not risk doing more damage. It took even longer to build the church back in the day.
Nonsense, we could easily build those structures, we just don't live in a world of autocrats and slaves anymore. Structures have to be economically viable now because people need to make that money back. A king can't just force his subjects to build whatever he wants and enhance that labor power with slaves.
This is why I don't fast travel in games anymore. I love seeing all the work the developers put into the world by forcing myself to travel by boat, horse or foot.
Guys, don't be fooled by Ubisoft scenario epicness. Roman Britain didn't have most of these huge structures that we see in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The game shows ruins the size you would only find in the most important cities of the Roman Empire, specially in today's Italy, Greece, Turkey and Syria.
@@DieNibelungenliad indeed, important in a regional context, but not even close to importance to the Empire like Massilia, Mediolanum, Neapolis, Syracusa, Thessalonica, Constantinopolis, Antiochia etc.
@@whiterunguard3791we don’t know nothing !!! A reset happened in 1800 also the Big Ben and the Buckingham palace and other institutional buildings are inherited from the ancient civ that also the romans used to live in it they didn’t build anything !! That’s why they call themselves Freemasons and founding fathers Free and Found it’s all in plain sight and Ubisoft is giving us the truth in a form of fictional stories !!
While the graphic quality is great the creator's knowledge of Saxon London needs considerable revision of the details of what remained of Roman London. The amphitheatre featured here is definitely does not resemble the one built by Romans.
Around 400 hundred yrs after roman occupation ? . Can see little bits of roman road ....im totally transfixed ! I love this ! His cloak looks bit scary tho 😅
Amazing work. My only caveat is the extravagant costume.... just too much. Everyone gets the horse tack wrong.. no nosebands for centuries yet and why was the first horse in tack, abandoned on the road? Any wanderer would take it.
Also needs more cottages with yellow thatched roofs, brown timber frames, dirt floors, whitewashed walls of mud (cob or daub), and fences of sticks (wattle). We are talking about a country dotted with villages around a few towns after all
Im wondering where the m25 is ? 😅😅 Apart from silly sentence ...i just love this so much and wish time had not changed where we live ....its just so peaceful ... Would love to see a "walk" in cornwall 18th century ....love from cornwall uk
I'm not so sure about the hills and steep climbs. In those days London was a smaller town on bottom land right on the Thames. Hampstead Heath might be the highest part of the modern city but it was nowhere near London in Viking times.
I doubt they did that much research in to the geography of London in 800AD, they have just reused the graphics from other areas of the game. It's not true to historical accuracy.
It was dangerous walking around back then. They might slice you up with a sword or clobber you with a mallet. Otherwise, a crocodile might eat you while wading through somebody's moat.
Ubisoft has a tendency to make ancient world look old to make it look realistical. All dwelling look like ruins or old, dilapidated but that is anachronistic. Even if a viking house was made of wood it should look clean, fresh cut and the surrounding should be tidy. Instead you get the impression the personage live in ruins build 200 years before them.
With more than 100 hours of gameplay the only thing I hate about AC-Valhalla is how fast the cycle of a day is. In a few minutes the day is gone. Wtf. Perfect is Witcher 3.
@@juancarlosponce6664 yes, a shame. But apparently you don't, because you probably are missing minimum required brain volume to understand and that is perhaps why you're asking. Btw, it's ok to ask if you can't comprehend things. No shame in that.
They really should do fantasy worlds because these real life worlds are not too interesting. The ruins, the cities are interesting, the trees and bushes are just like outside of my house. Ubisoft built much more beautiful worlds than bethesda ever did or could anymore, if they could find a fantasy talent like they have world building talents they could do something awesome. Just imagine a world, mixture of what they did in Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla but filled with fantasy flora and fauna and you could chose different species to play with and you would have clothing choice like in Odyssey! And of course... A Boat!!! Ubisoft could do wonders if they wouldn't care about money this much.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I really want to "live" in these worlds they are able to build, not just being there as an assassin. If I could live anywhere I can in Odyssey I would live in Chora. If I could live anywhere I can in Origins I would live in Chora. It's not that far from Egypt. :)
Ac Valhalla is completely fantasy by level design just slapped England over the map. the cities, architecture, stories and armors and nature do not resemble real world in the slightest
imagine they actually gave a damn about the cloth physics in this game and they had you fighting and running in the hood and cloak looking like an actual cool bad ass instead of making you question if the cloth physics in this game is really from 2020
Awesome video. Where can I find a tutorial on how to make these? The ones I make look so amateurish. Yours are so polished. Do I need any special external programs for example?
I think the scale of those buildings, such as the arena and triumphal arch, are exaggerated.... Albion and London was just a provincial back-water, their building would not have been on the same scale as Rome at all, yet these buildings look like they belong in Rome.
So you are telling me that the romans built hadrians wall, including mulitiple forts across that wall, some of whome are still large and imposing today but would not invest in their own privincial capitals like londinimium with grand buildimgs? I suggest you read the old saxon poem called "the ruin' its author sometime in the 8th or 9th century was so in awe of the gramdness of the roman ruins of roman britain that the poem asdociates it all to a race of giants. The saxons were very superstitious people and believed the ruins haunted. The normans then recycled much of the masonary and stone of the roman british buildings to build their abbeys, castles which is why much of it is lost today.
I wish they'd say AD. Why change the letters of a well known system? Also, what date in 878 are we? This really matters for this year! I see brown leaves on the trees but none on the ground, so perhaps September. That places two months after the battle of edington and a cease to the viking attacks, leading to the Danelaw-England split of 8 years later, under Alfred. But at night I hear big crickets, and there aren't any in England.
Interesting question. Early in the vid I thought I saw what looked very like bluebells (e.g. around 07:29) so that would place us in April-June. Of course, they may not be bluebells at all and as you say some of the leaves are brown. Plus, around the same time there's a mighty tame looking deer (I think--maybe it's a wild boar). Perhaps Nature was just different back in those olden times :)
No. These LARGE ruins you see in AC Valhalla are pure fantasy. No Roman ruins are this huge. For some reason they oversized them. And yes, in 800s there were plenty Roman buildings actually still in use. For example, Roman city walls were kept relatively maintained for defence, and many forts and churches were still of Roman origin. But, sadly, most o everything else was mostly disasembled and used for newer buildings.
No. By then, most Roman temples and towers were disassembled like LEGO to build churches, monasteries, and forts. Even the cobblestones in the Roman Road were pulled out by peasants for their houses

A reset happened in 1800 and the Freemasons took over the free marvellous buildings and now they are planning another one !! Your eyes are opening it’s a civilisation that reigned all the world and it was extremely advanced and had free energy !! Search about Tartaria.
They only struggled because they didn’t want Norte Dame to collapse. It so old and was heavily damaged they had to play it safe and rebuild slowly to not risk doing more damage. It took even longer to build the church back in the day.
@@Monkofthecaribbean watch about the old world Tartaria!
Nonsense, we could easily build those structures, we just don't live in a world of autocrats and slaves anymore. Structures have to be economically viable now because people need to make that money back. A king can't just force his subjects to build whatever he wants and enhance that labor power with slaves.
@@KittyKat-vb1nd we are in a retes !!
The world fairs is a proof
This is why I don't fast travel in games anymore. I love seeing all the work the developers put into the world by forcing myself to travel by boat, horse or foot.
Rome...oh love, how much I miss you.
This is so great!
Is these tour included with the game or you need to buy any DLC?
Guys, don't be fooled by Ubisoft scenario epicness. Roman Britain didn't have most of these huge structures that we see in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The game shows ruins the size you would only find in the most important cities of the Roman Empire, specially in today's Italy, Greece, Turkey and Syria.
London was an important town though
@@DieNibelungenliad indeed, important in a regional context, but not even close to importance to the Empire like Massilia, Mediolanum, Neapolis, Syracusa, Thessalonica, Constantinopolis, Antiochia etc.
Finally someone who knows what hes talking about.
@@whiterunguard3791we don’t know nothing !!! A reset happened in 1800 also the Big Ben and the Buckingham palace and other institutional buildings are inherited from the ancient civ that also the romans used to live in it they didn’t build anything !! That’s why they call themselves Freemasons and founding fathers
Free and Found it’s all in plain sight and Ubisoft is giving us the truth in a form of fictional stories !!
While the graphic quality is great the creator's knowledge of Saxon London needs considerable revision of the details of what remained of Roman London. The amphitheatre featured here is definitely does not resemble the one built by Romans.
Around 400 hundred yrs after roman occupation ? . Can see little bits of roman road ....im totally transfixed ! I love this !
His cloak looks bit scary tho 😅
I like that the people look like they are straight out of Shrek.
Imagine someone playing this for almost 5 hours just for walking.
Amazing work. My only caveat is the extravagant costume.... just too much. Everyone gets the horse tack wrong.. no nosebands for centuries yet and why was the first horse in tack, abandoned on the road? Any wanderer would take it.
Also needs more cottages with yellow thatched roofs, brown timber frames, dirt floors, whitewashed walls of mud (cob or daub), and fences of sticks (wattle). We are talking about a country dotted with villages around a few towns after all
Im wondering where the m25 is ? 😅😅
Apart from silly sentence ...i just love this so much and wish time had not changed where we live ....its just so peaceful ...
Would love to see a "walk" in cornwall 18th century ....love from cornwall uk
Ha! I was literally playing this like 5 minutes ago. I was in Lincolnshire
I'm not so sure about the hills and steep climbs. In those days London was a smaller town on bottom land right on the Thames. Hampstead Heath might be the highest part of the modern city but it was nowhere near London in Viking times.
I doubt they did that much research in to the geography of London in 800AD, they have just reused the graphics from other areas of the game. It's not true to historical accuracy.
It was dangerous walking around back then. They might slice you up with a sword or clobber you with a mallet. Otherwise, a crocodile might eat you while wading through somebody's moat.
Ubisoft has a tendency to make ancient world look old to make it look realistical. All dwelling look like ruins or old, dilapidated but that is anachronistic. Even if a viking house was made of wood it should look clean, fresh cut and the surrounding should be tidy. Instead you get the impression the personage live in ruins build 200 years before them.
I like to watch this, it is very relaxing. I wonder how historically accurate these scenes are
Great stuff 👌🏻
With more than 100 hours of gameplay the only thing I hate about AC-Valhalla is how fast the cycle of a day is. In a few minutes the day is gone. Wtf. Perfect is Witcher 3.
So why you even care for watching this. No sens haha
@@juancarlosponce6664 learn English grammar before writing in it. Then I can argue with you.
@@bali2633 am I supposed to feel something kid
@@juancarlosponce6664 yes, a shame. But apparently you don't, because you probably are missing minimum required brain volume to understand and that is perhaps why you're asking. Btw, it's ok to ask if you can't comprehend things. No shame in that.
This game always dark as shit
Did anyone else freak that he'd shrink his lovely velvet cloak being waist high in that stream? Or just me
It's such a shame that the game itself it's just a mindless looter-rpg. This world is beautiful !
They really should do fantasy worlds because these real life worlds are not too interesting. The ruins, the cities are interesting, the trees and bushes are just like outside of my house.
Ubisoft built much more beautiful worlds than bethesda ever did or could anymore, if they could find a fantasy talent like they have world building talents they could do something awesome.
Just imagine a world, mixture of what they did in Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla but filled with fantasy flora and fauna and you could chose different species to play with and you would have clothing choice like in Odyssey!
And of course... A Boat!!!
Ubisoft could do wonders if they wouldn't care about money this much.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I really want to "live" in these worlds they are able to build, not just being there as an assassin.
If I could live anywhere I can in Odyssey I would live in Chora.
If I could live anywhere I can in Origins I would live in Chora. It's not that far from Egypt. :)
Ac Valhalla is completely fantasy by level design just slapped England over the map. the cities, architecture, stories and armors and nature do not resemble real world in the slightest
Its so realistic fantastic.
How peaceful life was then ...apart from the murauding vikings etc
50:10 When Erik Birkenstock strolls past a Georgian facade...
The work that must have gone into this.
Good he had his waterproofed coated clothes on..
I hope you do ancient Jerusalem next and Atlantis located in the eye of the Sahara.
imagine they actually gave a damn about the cloth physics in this game and they had you fighting and running in the hood and cloak looking like an actual cool bad ass instead of making you question if the cloth physics in this game is really from 2020
The footsteps you hear when the dude is standing still....Is that the cameraman moving about? 😏
Awesome video. Where can I find a tutorial on how to make these? The ones I make look so amateurish. Yours are so polished. Do I need any special external programs for example?
I think the scale of those buildings, such as the arena and triumphal arch, are exaggerated.... Albion and London was just a provincial back-water, their building would not have been on the same scale as Rome at all, yet these buildings look like they belong in Rome.
So you are telling me that the romans built hadrians wall, including mulitiple forts across that wall, some of whome are still large and imposing today but would not invest in their own privincial capitals like londinimium with grand buildimgs? I suggest you read the old saxon poem called "the ruin' its author sometime in the 8th or 9th century was so in awe of the gramdness of the roman ruins of roman britain that the poem asdociates it all to a race of giants. The saxons were very superstitious people and believed the ruins haunted. The normans then recycled much of the masonary and stone of the roman british buildings to build their abbeys, castles which is why much of it is lost today.
Did one have to buy land from the king or something back then?
No England was divided into different Kingdoms with their own Kings, Wessex, Northumberland, Mercia, Sussex, Wessex, Kent and East Anglia.
everything looks like it's underwater.
The mountains of Leicestershire and Oxfordshire strewn with huge roman statues? 😅😅
Man, videos like this make me wish the game was as good as it looks and sounds
Did you make it to Snottinghamscire?
Лютая игруха !!! 🎮🎮🎮🎮
878 AD*
I’d like to know what is the name of this game???
I wish they'd say AD. Why change the letters of a well known system? Also, what date in 878 are we? This really matters for this year! I see brown leaves on the trees but none on the ground, so perhaps September. That places two months after the battle of edington and a cease to the viking attacks, leading to the Danelaw-England split of 8 years later, under Alfred. But at night I hear big crickets, and there aren't any in England.
Interesting question. Early in the vid I thought I saw what looked very like bluebells (e.g. around 07:29) so that would place us in April-June. Of course, they may not be bluebells at all and as you say some of the leaves are brown.
Plus, around the same time there's a mighty tame looking deer (I think--maybe it's a wild boar). Perhaps Nature was just different back in those olden times :)
were there really these many large ruins left this late? remember this is roughly 500 years after the roman empire left britain
No. These LARGE ruins you see in AC Valhalla are pure fantasy. No Roman ruins are this huge. For some reason they oversized them. And yes, in 800s there were plenty Roman buildings actually still in use. For example, Roman city walls were kept relatively maintained for defence, and many forts and churches were still of Roman origin. But, sadly, most o everything else was mostly disasembled and used for newer buildings.
No. By then, most Roman temples and towers were disassembled like LEGO to build churches, monasteries, and forts. Even the cobblestones in the Roman Road were pulled out by peasants for their houses
@@DieNibelungenliad makes sense
Half expecting to see a couple of peasants writhing in the mud exclaiming "theres a lovely bit of filth over here!"
Trhy must be very very tired Non stop walking all the day and night. Why they cant stop for relax or sit Down? They dont eat and drink too. Poor walkers 😢
Vamos ver se isso aqui me desbloqueia algumas memórias de vidas passadas
The post Roman London!!! 😉
AD 878.
