  • The North Ings Stone Row is a prehistoric monument in North Yorkshire, consisting of a 490 meter long alignment of approximately 83 stones. It, and a number of other prehistoric monuments in the area, may evidence the OLDEST borders in England... Early Neolithic earthworks that once marked ritual boundaries.

      Didn't notice as the intro was so dramatic. As was that magnificent stone row/prehistoric landscape. The banks/ditches especially may have been tribal boundaries although I'm more drawn to ritual significance for the stone rows and circles, but WTF really knows?
      The sizeable BA (onward) settlement might even be the origin of the Ings (tribe, community) name given to the locality -- wishful thinking, probably. Loved the moorland near the end where the 'hippy' rotters stacked those stones. Bloody hooligans! Another quality production, Adam.
      P.S. Is your inexpensive and fascinating -- dare I say essential -- book on Yorkshire's Prehistoric Monuments still available to purchase at all good bookshops and less-good Amazon, by chance?

    Thanks for showing us this fascinating and complex landscape - it’s not an area I know well - so different from a prehistoric perspective to my side of Yorkshire. Interesting to see the south-western influence. I’m frequently staggered by this and it has changed my perspective of Neolithic society in recent years. Nice work with the drone - really beautiful.

    "At North Ings" four minutes fifty seconds in; that large upright stone is carved. I know it's contraversial and almost always classed as erosion but not by a stone mason. It doesn't get us any further as there is no explanation of = why? The vertical channels seem to counterpoint cup-and-ring art and occasionally appear on the same stone, such as the Robin Hood Stone in Liverpool. There are some great examples, perhaps the Devils Arrows near Thornborough, being amongst them.

  • @thorisrain
    @thorisrain 6 дней назад +2

    Perhaps something worth considering with confusing 'ritual' sites is the possibility, even back in the neolithic, of tourism or pilgrimage. In the middle ages it was cathedrals etc, some of which still survive (try explaining churches to a space alien who'd never heard of them) but even now there are otherwise completely irrational structures (e.g. theme parks) and venues (think cheesy weddings) which are nevertheless nice little earners for the custodians. Human nature can't have changed that much in the last few thousand years and there's always plenty of business-minded folk ready to relieve fashionable day dreamers of their hard-earned filthy lucre. Great video btw, cheers for sharing, please up the good humoured and well researched work! :D

      I think I've probably already seen it, you're referring to your recent 'Is Ritual overused by archaeologists' video?

Thanks for the reply, sir! :D

    • @thorisrain
      @thorisrain 6 дней назад +2

      I should add that even if the real motive and practical reality of ancient sites might be business, that doesn't exclude the fact that they may be astronomically aligned, or referencing each other, or serving multiple purposes, perhaps even legal reasons such as holding courts, as these things would make them all the more impressive and relevant to the people at the time, art is always a part of all good design, I'm just suggesting that part of the motivation for such sites that gets them over the line from hippy bollox to actual projects that someone built might be good old cash, or similar exchanges.

In the new world, I lived in a place called Nassagaweya. Which is name from the first peoples. It means parting of the waters. Where creeks rivers streams and ditches were known to go to either lake Erie or lake Ontario. At a considerable distance away from both.

    Most of these barriers that they made back then were to protect against the Lions! No one can see the Lions now, so modern people wonder what they were doing; can you do a video on this, as I think there is a misunderstanding here.

    Interesting video. So it seems that similar megalithic and neolithic structures, like cairns, burial chamber, monoliths or circles where built all over Britain and Ireland, in about roughly the same time period? So the culture must be have been very similar all of these areas? Im sure there were many more like these every where in Britain and Ireland. However a large number, have probably been destroyed or removed by later generations. Particularly in recent centuries, by Christian zealots, who saw them as paganistic and sinister. Probably land owners found them in the way, of there planning too. So now the only surviving examples are generally found in remote and uninhabited areas.

    Captain James Cook is often referred to as the "discoverer of Australia," but this term is a bit misleading. Indigenous Australians had been living on the continent for tens of thousands of years before Cook's arrival. Moreover, other European explorers, such as the Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon, had visited parts of Australia as early as 1606
    Cook's significance lies in his detailed mapping of the east coast of Australia in 1770 and claiming it for Britain. His voyages paved the way for British colonization, which had profound and often devastating impacts on Indigenous communities.
    As for the name "Australia," it was first suggested by the explorer Matthew Flinders in 1804. The name was officially adopted in 1817, replacing the earlier name "New Holland" given by the Dutch. Apart from that, good, interesting video about an important aspect of this Islands heritage that deserves recognition and explanation; keep it up.

      @AdamMorganIbbotson Yes, I suppose depending upon the definition of 'discovery' Cook did discover Australia if you meant in terms of a personal achievement. Much like your personal discovery of these standing stones inspired you to make this video, but I suspect that's not the context you meant. Cook's predecessors to visiting Australia included the Dutchmen Willem Janszoon in 1606 and Dirk Hartog in 1616, both over 150 years before Cook. Also Abel Tasman, founding Van Diemen's land, later renamed Tasmania after him. This was during the time of our Civil War in the 1660's. Cook wasn't even the first Englishman, William Dampier, twice in 1688 & 1699 visited Australia. It was only after Cooks visit that colonization of Australia really began, but he never really discovered it, but perhaps for a while felt a sense of personal achievement.

      ​@@AdamMorganIbbotsonI have found a hidden archeology and I have never had to dig. The furthest north up to now is Lossiemouth. I have found that stones were sculpted and I cannot obviously tell you who makes them, but that I have an ability to spot them. I have done it for years and I will loan you some if you have the ability to make them digitally imaged and show me hownyounas an archeologist would make them imaged, because if I had the equipment I could show more people. What I fund isn't scratchy rocks, its sculpture, and high order sculpture. I can promise 100% that You will be amazed. You will also be amazed that one stone that is half inch cube was stucking out some clay and the BGS said the clay was Devensian Till, and was deposited about 18,500 years ago, so it has to be that old at least. If you seriously want to see something then I will loan you some, and I can even prove its real by one day finding something un a place if your choosing (if there are stones, rocks pebbles there, as I find it easy. BUT, I am used to finding those so I am also used to people being sceptical, so it's up to you, and all I need is an email or postage address. Now, what would you say that after years of collection of stone I decided to look for another material, and chose metal. Without digging, (I thought it would be hard because metal deteriorating so quickly in northern England would make it impossible) I was wrong, and I saw a metal object and the rust was a deeper red colour, so Inpucked it up, and got it home, and cleaned the rust off and under that was tar, and I'm not an archeologist but I was aware of Tar use, and so I got the Tar off and it wasma sculpture, but the metal can be polished like silver, so I wondered if it was meteoric iron. I now have went on to find kilos of this, and 99% of people wouldn't pick this up, but I do, and so far every item I have found and cleaned is a sculpture. An iron alloy sculpture. I did at first think they were Meteorite shrapnel and thats why I collected the first piece, but the Tar made me think it was something dropped by trucks as they laid Tarmac. U read on google rhat metal had to be reported so I told the coroner and she said I was fine to collect them because they could be found by a magnet and were random, and it was precious metals that had to be reported. I can show you anytime and I have a boars head, a shaman birdman, and even stranger stuff, and because no one is interested I started to clean them myself and if I could get every item cleaned professionally, then any museum in the world would want to display them because they're sculptures but also polish like silver. I think they might be meteoric iron. U also will add this. I just looked at google to find something and at the top was a screen shot and your saying "RUclips comments never cease to amaze you" well the offer will always be there for you to see, and examine anything I have because its 100% true. I wll also add this. I believe 100% I have a sculpture that is a Tsunami. There was as you know a Tsunami in 6200 BC and it would have devastated the east coast, and I believe I have a sculpture that shows it, not just shows it but was made by an artist, and made so good that it was engineered to stand alone and stand so it looks like a huge wave leaning, and I think the crest of the wave would have been bare metal and the front base kept bare metal and polished so it would look like white water. I believe that if I am right, and if that is from the storegga Tsunami time, then I could have one or if not THEY most important archaeology ever found in Britain. Even more amazing if its proved it is Meteorite irin like the rest I find, and it can probably be carbon dated because it was decorated to look like a wave thatbis carrying debris, with sand and stones attached with ancient glue. It even has a sculpted stone that may show the artist mark or show the wave destroyed stone that was made by them, maybe a building or monument. If it was modern iron it would have been dust years ago, and its not a hunk of iron, its worked metal that I believe was worked into a sheet and formed. Priceless I'm sure. There was a dagger found in Egypt made from meteoric iron so why not other items. The choice is yours. Look and give an opinion, or be one of those archeology people who post statements. I have other stuff and I'm just notbthe type to beg others to take a look because I offer and if no reply I don't mind. I have always had an amazing eye for finding things, and I definitely have items that can be carbon dated because some are made or combined with what I believe is ancient glue or resin, for instance, I have a side profile of a head, and I believe that's it's the earliest navigating device. I believe it may have been for a child who was out wandering so they could find their way home. It has images that appear when light is atna certain angle, and I don't know how old it is, but I have it. On the other side as the light fades and you mive it a few degrees left and right the eye is sculpted to look like it wink's. Maybe it's also the earliest toy? Its design is genius because its made of resin I think with rock dust applied before it dried, and the way it shows images is by micro ridges made to cast a shadow, and the main image is a crude face like we would draw as kids to show a sun in a picture at school. I know Neanderthals made resin, but put your comment where it belongs and step forward and take something back to the beards of archeology. Your choice. I have the items to open my own museum, so I respect your decision to decline and also your opinions in anything you take a look at, because I am not an archeologist, but imagine if I was the greatest "archeologist" in Britain but not an archeologist. Haha. I have other things I could talk about because I decided to do this as a kid back in the 1970s, like the first thing I found that in one side has those row of pits you fund in Peru, and the flat side has an Eagle warrior with a spear and he's making an offering to the goddess of war who is sitting on a plinth or alter with a wooden snake beneath and other offerings and deity, but isn't that meant to be found across the Atlantic? Then again, there was an elongated skull from Peru scientifically linked to Scotland, so who knows, maybe Britain is where they lived first. I promise that if you want something to examine and even make a RUclips video, then I will loan you something, BUT, if I was you I would approach a production company and make a show, and the subject should be the Tsunami sculpture, because if true, it would be literally one of the greatest objects ever found. You could even make a show for TV where each episode I send you something and you and some other experts get a limited time to examine something before showing your opinion and that would be a TV show even I could watch. I am willing to cooperate and provide something immediately, but I won't be in any video because im a collector not an expert on archeology, though I suspect I'm about to make a whole herd of archeologists have to learn new things.
