Its because many cultures didn't have a writing system to record their own history and even if they did it would have to be preserved.

On a particularly dark and stormy day, Me and my friends once found a burned horse carcass up there covered in candle wax. My brother broke his leg up there on the same day, and me and my friends had to help drag him back down the mountain to the car. I never knew a more ominous and desolate place. We loved and hated it.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the Ceide Fields in the west of Ireland. It's the oldest field system(also contains houses/tombs) in the world, dating back 5,500 years.
I only know my maternal line, I wish that I knew MY paternal haplogroup! So cool! I wish that u could tell me why those bluestone were so important, at Stonehenge, lol!
Great and very comprehensive video! There's a series of essays by Rene Guenon, published in "Symbols of Sacred Science", in which he relates the symbolism of the solstices and the annual cycle with that of the cave and the journey of the soul. His commentary actually fits quite nicely with the construction of neolithic tombs you described here. Porphyry has also written about a similar thing in his "On the Cave of the Nymphs".
Fascinating video! I learnt about ritual and religion in pre-historic Britain/Ireland during my Archaeology A-level ~7 years ago. It's amazing to see how much further our knowledge of the period has developed in such a short space of time thanks to DNA techniques and new discoveries!
Magnificant video as always, STJ! I would like to point out that inbreeding does not automatically lead to Inbreeding depression (the accumulation of hereditary diseases and lack of vitality). In parents who are the result of very strong selection (like the WHG) and are therefore very healthy and carry very few gene variants of recessive hereditary diseases, the negative effects are less drastic and will probably become more frequent only after several generations of inbreeding. From Wikipedia: "In prehistoric times, the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) went through such an extremely narrow genetic bottleneck that today, without a rejection reaction, tissue can be transferred from one cheetah to any other, which is otherwise only possible in identical twins." But this "pure breeding" is only possible if the selection pressure remains very high over generations.
@@Survivethejive For today's individuals (with many more mutations) certainly. But in the past under harsh Darwinian conditions, it might be less damaging. Like, a sister marriage back then would be as risky as a cousin marriage today. That's my speculation. (Not a recommendation for incest.;)
For humans reproduction between 3rd and 4th cousins is the biological ideal . Close enough to prevent physiological mismatches and far enough to prevent inbred deficiencies .
@@jerrywiese Yes, to that conclusion came the Iceland paper. I think they studied family trees of the last few centuries. It all depends on how harsh the environment is. If the selection pressure, and therefore the purge of mutants, is even harder than these Icelandic conditions it could be reduced to 1st and 2nd cousins. Below that would be problematic, I guess, because at some point the group selection kicks in, to alleviate minor mutations in individuals out of ingroup solidarity. My example above with cheetahs is extreme and cannot be transferred to humans because in solitary animals the selection pressure is much higher than in social animals like humans.
look to what kuwait and UAE do currently. they have special rules for their own people. also a caste system is very powerful when people inherently believe in hierarchy and the whole system is engrained in their culture. and if you are born into slavery or debt that is pretty hard to rise out of.
I would imagine that the WHG men stayed on top because of some sort of religious cult. In a previous video on this channel it was speculated that the druids come from a pre-celtic custom unique to Britain that then spread onto the gaul, rather than a celtic custom that was brought over from the continent. This is something that Caecar recorded in his works, though it is hard to prove with limited evidence. Perhaps the WHG were able to become revered as sages or priests and gained dominance in that sense even though the neolithic invaders were more advanced in regards to technology. Over time this priestly class survived as the druids or maybe even the Fili.
@@sandrojones8068 it is known that the Hunter Gatherers lived alongside but separate from the Early European Farmers for some time in central and Northern Europe. Perhaps there was trade and contact between them. Hunted animals may well have had more value, and those that hunted them more cache. In Scandinavia there is evidence that the Scandinavian Hunter Gatherers (who were a combination of Western Hunter Gatherers and Eastern European Hunter Gatherers) were attacking the the early farmers, indeed in Scandinavia the Hunter Gatherers there continued their culture after the Early Farmers one collapsed, trading with and then combining with the Battle Axe Indo Europeans.
The more I watch you, the more I learn about our pagan past. I wish I'd had this information when I was in school. Thank you for all you're doing to enighten us. I live in the US but consider Ireland and Britain my spiritual home. When I see these tombs and standing stones, a shiver and sense of deja vu go through me, aong with a desire to know more..maybe a past life. I am having my DNA run and maybe some things will become clear.

Unbelievable such an interesting and important channel has so few subscribers :( Channels about stupid pranks, competitive eating, makeup, people playing video games etc have millions of subscribers...... A sad portrayal of the state of consciousness of the majority on RUclips.......
Great content. Thank you for your no bull video. It answered several questions I had with respect to the Bronze Age migrations. What I would like to know is if the Tuatha de Danann of Irish mythology could be correlated to the Beaker ware people as myths say they came by ships to Ireland and were noted for their skill in metal work, music and medicine. I have often found that "myths" often are oral histories of events that happened. To my mind, the invasions as you describe fits in with the warfare between the Tuatha de, the Fir Bolg, Fomorians and Milesians. Your thoughts?
The Tuthra is most often linked to later celtic migrations from Iberia. Diana seems to be a very ancient god indeed to appear in do many cultures. Her origins are likely to be around the Caucus regions including Anatolia.
Probably, The Irish Milesian mythology stated that the peoples came from Northern Iberia which is later found to be true in the genetic makeup of Irish people.
In my studies I have found that the Tuatha de where the tribe of Dan who where also the Phoenicians, they came to Ireland via troy after they fought in the Trojan war.
Real nice presentation. makes me want even more to go and visit megalithic sites in my own country(Georgia), although they aren't as old. they're around 4000 years old as far as I know. However they are cool looking castles. One of which is actually at the bottom of a lake now.
One of the greatest historical 'injustices' is the perpetuation of the myth of "egalitarian" and "matriarchal" nature of pre-IE peoples. They were none of those things, as you so perfectly pointed. I personally blame Gimbutas and her 'Old Europe' notion.
The Orkneys are well worth a visit Skara Brae is amazing, along with Maeshowe with its Viking graffiti inside. Definitely the most mystical place I've ever been to.
It's fascinating to see connections between Ireland and Balkan where you can find megalithic structures built in almost same fashion. Also some other things like hill Tara you mentioned, there's a mountain in Serbia called Tara. Then there's my friend Garry from Scotland that revealed to me that Serbs and Scots use same word for dogs that is "ker",also bagpipes that have been played on Balkans from Neolithic.
@@sandrojones8068 I converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church 15 years ago because it was the only historical European religion that still held spaces and objects sacred as well as encouraged prayer to your ancestors as well as encapsulating Pre-Christian beliefs and practices. I would be extremely respectful not only to the sight but to the builders as well as all the souls who interacted with it. I believe I helped build one of those monoliths, if not Stonehenge itself. I believe reincarnation is a fact of life just like rain or the soul or gravity or god who we(EOC) call "the existing one"
@Wolvs Air to connect with the site, feel it's sacredness, sit in awe of it and just maybe possibly allow the site or the builders or "the existing one" to gift me something like clearer knowledge of past lives or guidance in this life
Very interesting! Especially the DNA studies that could show relations between different dead ones in the megalithic tombs! I hope more such studies could be made. The stone circles are interesting too. I found the MUCH younger (some are from the Bronze age, but most are from the Migration period or a bit later) stone circle tradition of Scandinavia very fascinating as well, mainly because of all interpretations of them during historical times.
Just stumbled across this video, so glad that I did! I have DNA links to early stone monolithic culture in Great Britain, so this feels like a sort of family history. ❤ Great video 👌🏻
While Njord was with the Vanaland people he had taken his own sister in marriage, for that was allowed by their law; and their children were Frey and Freya. But among the Asaland people it was forbidden to intermarry with such near relations (Ynglinga saga 4, Laing's translation).
@@zhepkin I didn't get the impression that he was forcing identity politics. Americans originally did value the civics, history, culture, philosophy, and literature of their European homelands. Even during industrialization European visitors were often intrigued by their tinkering and inventiveness as they expanded west into the wilderness. Many Americans lament the decline in their overall collective dismissal of their European heritage in favor of the excesses of materialism and commercialism. It's disheartening to see the descendants of pioneers, explorers, scientists, inventors, poets, and philosophers turned into a mass of petulant, over indulgent, and emotional degenerates. Being separated from Europe by a vast ocean doesn't help.
@@zhepkin, if you are of Euro descent then it'd be wise to become a nationalist. But if you care for nothing then, by all means, sit back and watch as various low iq microspecies liquidate your people.

Very interesting video. Always enjoyed visiting Stonehenge and Avebury, and interesting how the Beaker Folk added to the landscape. Your production values are getting really good aswell. Cheers Tom
Thanks, I always hoped you make a video about this. Here in North Germany is a very high density of these dolmen typed structures. I always stop when I see one of them at the side of the road.
I love all your videos, thank you for taking the time to make them. These are some of the best and clear videos on our early history! Found your videos on paganism helpfull too as im just starting out❤
This is fascinating stuff. I have been to Newgrange twice and found really interesting. Also visited Dowth and Knowth. When I was there, a lot of the recent findings you talked about were not yet known, so the tour guides were even more speculative. I would be interested in your speculation, as somebody interesting in ancient religion, on what you think the belief system of the people was all about.
Great video. Any insight into the genetic makeup of the Picts? So they're around in the Iron Age, but they are often described as swarthier in appearance than their neighbours. Perhaps they had a higher remaining proportion of neolithic farmer ancestry?
👏bravo! It’s the first historian talking about the bellbeaker change as an invasion. So even the Neolithic was dense of several layers! Far more complex. And you prove the persistence of survival of these several human layers, from the hunters gatherers. 👍
For the record: at least one of the tombs at Lough Crew are oriented towards the equinox. Re the solstice: imagine living through a northern winter at that time -- I think it would be incredibly important to know when that tide turns, when the days are going to get longer. There were probably then religious overlays, but I would suggest that the origin was the want and need to know that winter was "turning".
Quite seriously, dark-skinned doesn't mean what you think oy means. My blue-eyed father would tan up so dark that he was once refused service at a pre-Civil Rights era southern restaurant. I tan up that dark if you leave me out in the sun, which what most people were back then -- out in the sun a lot. Both he and I never burned. I guess I have me some pretty archaic skin and genes.
erynlasgalen1949 my dad was Irish and Welsh with blue eyes and dark hair, yet his skin tanned in a way best described as anti-Irish, he was sometimes mistaken for Hispanic or middle eastern
Wow! I surely learn something new each day with each Survive the Jive video you share with us Tom, until now I had no idea that a New Grange existed, only having heard of Stonehenge in Britain! Thanks for sharing this COOL info, liked the video and sending greetings to you from Mexico! :)
Am I understanding correctly-the megalith builders were descended from native WHG (patrilineally) and Neolithic Anatolian farmers. They were then replaced by IE Bell Beaker lineages but some of the purer (inbred) WHG lines managed to survive even into the time of the Bell Beaker people?
The only thing that survived Beaker invasion was a few paternal lineages from megalith people. But they weren't inbred. The inbred god kings were thousands of years earlier
Very good video. Slowly the pieces are coming together. More information is coming to light all the time about the neolithic. Before the neolithic there is not much to explain (except for language). It is the period from 8,000 BC to the dawn of written history that represents the real Dark Ages. So much happened and we know so little. This video is part of the new decipherment. Keep up the good work!
I think the stone balls were weapons, after all our ability to throw has always been our distinguishing feature that allowed us to rise to the top of the food chain. and not for some fancy string weapon like a bolas, but simply held in hand and lobbed like a cricket ball, they all seem well polished to help them fly true.
Many archaeologists have thought the same thing. The problem is archaeologists haven’t found a damaged one which you’d expect to find if they were thrown. They think they could have been used to memorise things.
I do not have a clue what these balls were for but they must have taken many hours to prepare , I mean you would want a whole stack of them if you were going to have a battle , plus once you had thrown it at your enemy he was free to pick it up and throw it back at you. Or maybe people thought that possessing them gave the owner strength and courage , even to this day someone who performs an impressive feat is described as having balls of solid rock ….well they are in the circles I move in anyway .
Idiotic suggestion considering some of them may have taken more than a lifetime to create under neolithic tooling, let alone that so few of them exist. Gordon Bennet
Very clear lateral thinking.Good interpretation of genetic data.Whilst far later ( Iron Age) it would be interesting to check the dna of Anglesea druids ( if their are any) to see if they contain any Mesolithic lineage.
It would be funny if the round stone balls were from a prehistoric game everybody played. Maybe it was similar to bowling or curling. Every winter they would go on a frozen lake and see who can throw their ball and have it roll the furthest. Larger balls would have more inertia, but would be more likely to break through the ice. Meanwhile archaeologists and scientists in the our time are coming up with theories about religious practices or using a bunch of them to roll the huge stones for the circles. If someone finds some wooden bowling pins preserved in a bog from that time period, then we will know, if they manage to connect the two.
Finding them in use at a home-site certainly gives your theory some weight. They look like personalized items for a particular use or trade.Perhaps used for tanning seal or sea-mammal skins used for their boats?
If I remember it correctly, Olalde's paper tells that the most of the Neolithic haplogroups found in Iberia both among pre-Yamnaya and also among early Bell-Beakers are mostly I2 too.
Great video, I didn’t actually know that much about the Neolithic Europeans but now I know quite a lot from tour channel. I myself am of European, African and Indian lineage so it’s nice to learn about my ancestors.
This is the only STJ video I can't follow. The natives (swarthies) were invaded by Anatolians (who were swarthy but with blue eyes) who then wife swapped with the natives, and the native men + Anatolian Women combo were more fertile, so after a few generations it's only native men and anatolian women? This creates a new race that began building kick-ass megaliths. Then the ARYAN INVASION happens (light skin + dark eyes) and the bronze shapers exterminate every last one of the filthy stone shapers except their inbred clan chiefs who they keep around for ceremonial purposes for 4000 years? Am I following?
Mesolithic whg had dark skin and blue eyes. Light skin Anatolians mix with them, resulting population has blue and brown eyes and an elite who may have had dark skin. Fair skin Beaker folk with mixed hair and eye colours come last and wipe nearly everyone out, but leave some megalithic paternal line on remote scottish island
@@Survivethejive Thanks for clearing that up. I watched it twice and missed more than one location change. I'm normally smarter than this. I want you to know how much I appreciate your work. Your work on Evola, the French guy and religion completely changed how I look at my own life and it's place in the world. I can't thank you enough for that.
The story about the rebirth of souls during winter solstice gives me hope. I think it's intended not only for the afterlife purposes, but also for the hope of leaving your problems and failures in the old cycle and starting anew in the new one. The same way modern people hope for new life in the new year. Also the structure of the tomb at 15:50 resembles christian churches. It seems the european spirit is indestructible.

It amazes me that I share a direct paternal ancestor with the megalith builders, as I have an I2a2 haplo group.
That is amazing. I'm gonna have to revisit my 23andMe results and see where I stand.
Hail King Utah suffering and death to thine enemies
How do you determine your haplogroup?
I only know my maternal line, I wish that I knew MY paternal haplogroup! So cool! I wish that u could tell me why those bluestone were so important, at Stonehenge, lol!
@@didntknoicouldchangethis maybe he still has the newspaper articles written when they were built.
Great and very comprehensive video!
There's a series of essays by Rene Guenon, published in "Symbols of Sacred Science", in which he relates the symbolism of the solstices and the annual cycle with that of the cave and the journey of the soul. His commentary actually fits quite nicely with the construction of neolithic tombs you described here. Porphyry has also written about a similar thing in his "On the Cave of the Nymphs".
Fascinating video!
I learnt about ritual and religion in pre-historic Britain/Ireland during my Archaeology A-level ~7 years ago.
It's amazing to see how much further our knowledge of the period has developed in such a short space of time thanks to DNA techniques and new discoveries!

Magnificant video as always, STJ!
I would like to point out that inbreeding does not automatically lead to Inbreeding depression (the accumulation of hereditary diseases and lack of vitality). In parents who are the result of very strong selection (like the WHG) and are therefore very healthy and carry very few gene variants of recessive hereditary diseases, the negative effects are less drastic and will probably become more frequent only after several generations of inbreeding.
From Wikipedia: "In prehistoric times, the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) went through such an extremely narrow genetic bottleneck that today, without a rejection reaction, tissue can be transferred from one cheetah to any other, which is otherwise only possible in identical twins." But this "pure breeding" is only possible if the selection pressure remains very high over generations.
It depends on how inbred too. First degree incest is very dangerous
@@Survivethejive For today's individuals (with many more mutations) certainly. But in the past under harsh Darwinian conditions, it might be less damaging. Like, a sister marriage back then would be as risky as a cousin marriage today. That's my speculation. (Not a recommendation for incest.;)
For humans reproduction between 3rd and 4th cousins is the biological ideal .
Close enough to prevent physiological mismatches and far enough to prevent inbred deficiencies .
@@jerrywiese Yes, to that conclusion came the Iceland paper. I think they studied family trees of the last few centuries. It all depends on how harsh the environment is. If the selection pressure, and therefore the purge of mutants, is even harder than these Icelandic conditions it could be reduced to 1st and 2nd cousins. Below that would be problematic, I guess, because at some point the group selection kicks in, to alleviate minor mutations in individuals out of ingroup solidarity. My example above with cheetahs is extreme and cannot be transferred to humans because in solitary animals the selection pressure is much higher than in social animals like humans.
I very much look forward to these videos. This is easily my favorite history channel and host.
Some really great content yet again, damn I may be only half British American but that’s the favorite part of my ancestry
Quite sad they died out really, I wonder how they managed to stay at the top after being invaded.
look to what kuwait and UAE do currently. they have special rules for their own people. also a caste system is very powerful when people inherently believe in hierarchy and the whole system is engrained in their culture. and if you are born into slavery or debt that is pretty hard to rise out of.
JakeMoranIsLame because the extinction of any people is a sad event. Many people are going to be in grave danger in the next century.
Throughout this century *
I would imagine that the WHG men stayed on top because of some sort of religious cult. In a previous video on this channel it was speculated that the druids come from a pre-celtic custom unique to Britain that then spread onto the gaul, rather than a celtic custom that was brought over from the continent. This is something that Caecar recorded in his works, though it is hard to prove with limited evidence. Perhaps the WHG were able to become revered as sages or priests and gained dominance in that sense even though the neolithic invaders were more advanced in regards to technology. Over time this priestly class survived as the druids or maybe even the Fili.
@@sandrojones8068 it is known that the Hunter Gatherers lived alongside but separate from the Early European Farmers for some time in central and Northern Europe. Perhaps there was trade and contact between them.
Hunted animals may well have had more value, and those that hunted them more cache.
In Scandinavia there is evidence that the Scandinavian Hunter Gatherers (who were a combination of Western Hunter Gatherers and Eastern European Hunter Gatherers) were attacking the the early farmers, indeed in Scandinavia the Hunter Gatherers there continued their culture after the Early Farmers one collapsed, trading with and then combining with the Battle Axe Indo Europeans.
The more I watch you, the more I learn about our pagan past. I wish I'd had this information when I was in school. Thank you for all you're doing to enighten us. I live in the US but consider Ireland and Britain my spiritual home.
When I see these tombs and standing stones, a shiver and sense of deja vu go through me, aong with a desire to know more..maybe a past life. I am having my DNA run and maybe some things will become clear.
Outstanding content. No spin. No bias. Just scholarship of the highest standard.
I hope that you Thomas, are writing regular articles also, along with videos. This could be interesting. Cheers form Poland!
One of the best channels on RUclips! Every video is completely engrossing and brilliant. Unbelievable such an interesting and important channel has so few subscribers :( Channels about stupid pranks, competitive eating, makeup, people playing video games etc have millions of subscribers...... A sad portrayal of the state of consciousness of the majority on RUclips.......
Great content. Thank you for your no bull video. It answered several questions I had with respect to the Bronze Age migrations. What I would like to know is if the Tuatha de Danann of Irish mythology could be correlated to the Beaker ware people as myths say they came by ships to Ireland and were noted for their skill in metal work, music and medicine. I have often found that "myths" often are oral histories of events that happened. To my mind, the invasions as you describe fits in with the warfare between the Tuatha de, the Fir Bolg, Fomorians and Milesians. Your thoughts?
The Tuthra is most often linked to later celtic migrations from Iberia. Diana seems to be a very ancient god indeed to appear in do many cultures. Her origins are likely to be around the Caucus regions including Anatolia.
Probably, The Irish Milesian mythology stated that the peoples came from Northern Iberia which is later found to be true in the genetic makeup of Irish people.
Don't forget queen 'Scota' from Egypt around Akhenaten reign
In my studies I have found that the Tuatha de where the tribe of Dan who where also the Phoenicians, they came to Ireland via troy after they fought in the Trojan war.
Real nice presentation. makes me want even more to go and visit megalithic sites in my own country(Georgia), although they aren't as old. they're around 4000 years old as far as I know. However they are cool looking castles. One of which is actually at the bottom of a lake now.
One of the greatest historical 'injustices' is the perpetuation of the myth of "egalitarian" and "matriarchal" nature of pre-IE peoples. They were none of those things, as you so perfectly pointed. I personally blame Gimbutas and her 'Old Europe' notion.
I recently discovered this channel. This is amazing! One of my favorite subjects. Incredible work!
The Orkneys are well worth a visit Skara Brae is amazing, along with Maeshowe with its Viking graffiti inside. Definitely the most mystical place I've ever been to.
It's fascinating to see connections between Ireland and Balkan where you can find megalithic structures built in almost same fashion. Also some other things like hill Tara you mentioned, there's a mountain in Serbia called Tara. Then there's my friend Garry from Scotland that revealed to me that Serbs and Scots use same word for dogs that is "ker",also bagpipes that have been played on Balkans from Neolithic.
not the same fashion
Yes that’s true , but I think bag pipes were played all over Europe . They are a large part of the folk music in bothBrittany and northern Spain .
Your channel consistently has the highest quality content Mr. Rowsell. Great video as always, and thank you!

I would love to go to those megalithic structures and meditate or fall asleep under and dream

Be careful near a barrow. And if you do, make sure you are 100% respectful, even watch what you say.
@@sandrojones8068 I converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church 15 years ago because it was the only historical European religion that still held spaces and objects sacred as well as encouraged prayer to your ancestors as well as encapsulating Pre-Christian beliefs and practices. I would be extremely respectful not only to the sight but to the builders as well as all the souls who interacted with it. I believe I helped build one of those monoliths, if not Stonehenge itself. I believe reincarnation is a fact of life just like rain or the soul or gravity or god who we(EOC) call "the existing one"
@Wolvs Air to connect with the site, feel it's sacredness, sit in awe of it and just maybe possibly allow the site or the builders or "the existing one" to gift me something like clearer knowledge of past lives or guidance in this life
The hobbits did it one day, it didn't end well. Make sure you know Bombadil's summon by heart before going there.
Very interesting! Especially the DNA studies that could show relations between different dead ones in the megalithic tombs! I hope more such studies could be made. The stone circles are interesting too. I found the MUCH younger (some are from the Bronze age, but most are from the Migration period or a bit later) stone circle tradition of Scandinavia very fascinating as well, mainly because of all interpretations of them during historical times.
Thanks for breaking all this DNA information down! It has answered some curiosities I have been having a hard time resolving 😊

In a way this echoes the story of the Vanir being overtaken by the Asir.Also the situation between the brother and sister Ingvi Frey andFreyer
While Njord was with the Vanaland people he had taken his own sister in marriage, for that was allowed by their law; and their children were Frey and Freya. But among the Asaland people it was forbidden to intermarry with such near relations (Ynglinga saga 4, Laing's translation).

@@zhepkin I didn't get the impression that he was forcing identity politics. Americans originally did value the civics, history, culture, philosophy, and literature of their European homelands. Even during industrialization European visitors were often intrigued by their tinkering and inventiveness as they expanded west into the wilderness. Many Americans lament the decline in their overall collective dismissal of their European heritage in favor of the excesses of materialism and commercialism. It's disheartening to see the descendants of pioneers, explorers, scientists, inventors, poets, and philosophers turned into a mass of petulant, over indulgent, and emotional degenerates. Being separated from Europe by a vast ocean doesn't help.
@@zhepkin I can agree with that. I like the notion that we can observe the past without the taint of modern political sentiments.

Great vid! Cheers for the info jive.
This is fascinating stuff. I have been to Newgrange twice and found really interesting. Also visited Dowth and Knowth. When I was there, a lot of the recent findings you talked about were not yet known, so the tour guides were even more speculative. I would be interested in your speculation, as somebody interesting in ancient religion, on what you think the belief system of the people was all about.
Great video. Any insight into the genetic makeup of the Picts? So they're around in the Iron Age, but they are often described as swarthier in appearance than their neighbours. Perhaps they had a higher remaining proportion of neolithic farmer ancestry?
Quite the reverse. Picts had more steppe ancestry than other britons
@@Survivethejive Source on this?
No the Picts were the fairest of the Celts you're thinking of the Welsh most likely
👏bravo! It’s the first historian talking about the bellbeaker change as an invasion. So even the Neolithic was dense of several layers! Far more complex. And you prove the persistence of survival of these several human layers, from the hunters gatherers. 👍
For the record: at least one of the tombs at Lough Crew are oriented towards the equinox.
Re the solstice: imagine living through a northern winter at that time -- I think it would be incredibly important to know when that tide turns, when the days are going to get longer. There were probably then religious overlays, but I would suggest that the origin was the want and need to know that winter was "turning".

Quite seriously, dark-skinned doesn't mean what you think oy means. My blue-eyed father would tan up so dark that he was once refused service at a pre-Civil Rights era southern restaurant. I tan up that dark if you leave me out in the sun, which what most people were back then -- out in the sun a lot. Both he and I never burned. I guess I have me some pretty archaic skin and genes.

Wow! I surely learn something new each day with each Survive the Jive video you share with us Tom, until now I had no idea that a New Grange existed, only having heard of Stonehenge in Britain! Thanks for sharing this COOL info, liked the video and sending greetings to you from Mexico! :)
Am I understanding correctly-the megalith builders were descended from native WHG (patrilineally) and Neolithic Anatolian farmers. They were then replaced by IE Bell Beaker lineages but some of the purer (inbred) WHG lines managed to survive even into the time of the Bell Beaker people?
Yes, except for their leaders/royals who preferred to keep it in the family.
The only thing that survived Beaker invasion was a few paternal lineages from megalith people. But they weren't inbred. The inbred god kings were thousands of years earlier
Very good video. Slowly the pieces are coming together. More information is coming to light all the time about the neolithic. Before the neolithic there is not much to explain (except for language). It is the period from 8,000 BC to the dawn of written history that represents the real Dark Ages. So much happened and we know so little. This video is part of the new decipherment. Keep up the good work!

We have these in France also.some known some still discovered
Was waiting on you making this
I only watched one other video regarding this I swear lol
Your info is always the best brother
I think the stone balls were weapons, after all our ability to throw has always been our distinguishing feature that allowed us to rise to the top of the food chain. and not for some fancy string weapon like a bolas, but simply held in hand and lobbed like a cricket ball, they all seem well polished to help them fly true.
Many archaeologists have thought the same thing. The problem is archaeologists haven’t found a damaged one which you’d expect to find if they were thrown. They think they could have been used to memorise things.
I do not have a clue what these balls were for but they must have taken many hours to prepare , I mean you would want a whole stack of them if you were going to have a battle , plus once you had thrown it at your enemy he was free to pick it up and throw it back at you.
Or maybe people thought that possessing them gave the owner strength and courage , even to this day someone who performs an impressive feat is described as having balls of solid rock ….well they are in the circles I move in anyway .
Idiotic suggestion considering some of them may have taken more than a lifetime to create under neolithic tooling, let alone that so few of them exist. Gordon Bennet
How can a structure built 5000 years ago still be perfectly aligned with solar events even to this day?
This pushes every button in 99% of man.
Very clear lateral thinking.Good interpretation of genetic data.Whilst far later ( Iron Age) it would be interesting to check the dna of Anglesea druids ( if their are any) to see if they contain any Mesolithic lineage.
AFAIK it's not possible so far yo identify the burial of a druid
It would be funny if the round stone balls were from a prehistoric game everybody played. Maybe it was similar to bowling or curling. Every winter they would go on a frozen lake and see who can throw their ball and have it roll the furthest. Larger balls would have more inertia, but would be more likely to break through the ice. Meanwhile archaeologists and scientists in the our time are coming up with theories about religious practices or using a bunch of them to roll the huge stones for the circles. If someone finds some wooden bowling pins preserved in a bog from that time period, then we will know, if they manage to connect the two.
Finding them in use at a home-site certainly gives your theory some weight. They look like personalized items for a particular use or trade.Perhaps used for tanning seal or sea-mammal skins used for their boats?
If I remember it correctly, Olalde's paper tells that the most of the Neolithic haplogroups found in Iberia both among pre-Yamnaya and also among early Bell-Beakers are mostly I2 too.

This is the only STJ video I can't follow.
The natives (swarthies) were invaded by Anatolians (who were swarthy but with blue eyes) who then wife swapped with the natives, and the native men + Anatolian Women combo were more fertile, so after a few generations it's only native men and anatolian women?
This creates a new race that began building kick-ass megaliths.
Then the ARYAN INVASION happens (light skin + dark eyes) and the bronze shapers exterminate every last one of the filthy stone shapers except their inbred clan chiefs who they keep around for ceremonial purposes for 4000 years?
Am I following?
Nah u got literally everything wrong
Mesolithic whg had dark skin and blue eyes.
Light skin Anatolians mix with them, resulting population has blue and brown eyes and an elite who may have had dark skin.
Fair skin Beaker folk with mixed hair and eye colours come last and wipe nearly everyone out, but leave some megalithic paternal line on remote scottish island
