My ancestors were giants and the facts about giants is true the fact that they were covered up to showcase Darwin Evolution theory is how Atheists took power from Christian believers and the church. Queen Victoria’s death mark a dark day for Christian people all over the world because a Anti Christ Spirit started filling up the entire world with more haters than loving Christian people each year. King Arthur of the Great Britain peoples was a giant in the flesh and in legend.
There's something so wonderful about Tony. Maybe it's the 4 glasses of wine, or maybe it's because I've been marathoninng this show during quarantine. He just makes me so happy.
Yeah... But that's the Appalachian trail, which involves hiking thru mountains and camping. Still fun, but a different kind of fun from a stretch of green with lots of towns to sleep in and ancient history to look at.
The Romans writings of the time were the subject of scrutiny, revision, and approved by the authorities. Did Alfred , in his quest for power consolidation and as a request from the Vatican, helped to search and destroy any documentation from the Culdee church and before, that will contradict the Catholic Roman Church mandate. Still until now.
You can do it Phiendish. Hoard your leave time. Take time off without pay. Get housemates and live like 1930. Years ago, when I was struggling through nursing school, I dreamed of rewarding myself with a trip to England. After a year of working as a nurse, I flew off to Great Britain for three weeks. The Lake District trails were beautiful. Cornwall was amazing. It was worth working for.
I lived in wantage grove for almost two years. such good memories. enjoyed exploring the Ridgeway and working with local volunteers restoring parts of it. thanks for sharing
I wonder if McGuire is any type of surname that could originate from a personal name Guire or something and originate to celtic times? Mac afterall is the Gaelic word for Son so Mc or Mac is son of, and apparently some gaelic origins may come from celtic?
I hope that it's okay to say: Jason Kingsley, the charioteer, has his own RUclips channel, Modern History TV. It's excellent! Great show this! I'll watch anything with Tony in it, tbh... Thanks for the upload!
When I was privileged to go to Britain and spend a weekend running about on my own I was totally surprised to learn that these ancient trackways are totally preserved in today's culture. If a farmer has a trackway across his pasture, even if he's got an angry bull in there, there will be a way to walk over the pasture wall that the cow can't get over. There's a special word for that walk over that is not occurring to me at this moment. You walk at your own risk, but the pathways are still there that have been there for thousands of years. You can literally hike a trail that is thousands of years old whenever you want to in Britain, miles and miles and miles of them.
I'm American and I found this to be a terrific program. Tony Robinson is an excellent host and narrator. Just subscribed today. Thanks you, looking forward to seeing more!
Tony Robinson the absolute legend. He could make a documentary about boredom and I would listen to it. Always so much passion for what he's talking about.
Not being British, seeing this makes me want to pack my bag and go back there immediately. There is something quite unique and comforting in the landscape, the pubs, the language and the courage of you people, that's truely magical. The way British (and Robinson, his crew and the people interviewed are a fine example) can show and tell stories is of stunning beauty, just like the land from which they grow. If only the kitchen was of the same standard... Please keep the country together, because for an Anglophile (wrong term actually) it's about the entirety of the British Isles that makes up that Tolkienesk atmosphere. As for Tony Robinson: though I severely miss the comedy in which he starred, nice to see he has found something he clearly has put his heart in (and it shows). The image of Baldrick has all but disappeared ;)
@@jekku4688 Yes, me too... I really miss that utterly politcal incorrect satire, the stereotypes that are blatantly over the top and the language as sharp as a knife.
Princer ...I agree wholeheartedly with the feelings about Britain. Being from Michigan, the variety of lush shades of green feel correct. I don't know from Baldrick. I thought he looked like Mr Bean.
@@noname-by3qzThank you kindly. Never been to the States, but I've heard Michigan can be that lovely too in spring (though bitter cold in winter, with arctic winds blowing from Canada). I would love to see Chicago , mainly because of a series I watched in the 90ies (Due South). But I guess that was a totally different era. Here's a link to see a few sketches o the series Blackadder some of which with Roboinson in them if you like: ruclips.net/video/zfDXjy0uwh8/видео.html Enjoy!
I just absolutely love watching these videos about Britain, it makes me feel at home, which is odd because I’m from Tennessee and I’ve never been anywhere else. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, we are mostly all English descendants from Maine all the way down to Georgia. (East Coast) However, it gets particularly Scotch/Irish around the TN/NC border. A truly magical area. The Germans settled the MidWest and the French settled Louisiana. I’m from North Carolina originally.
The US of A needs a Tony Robinson. Especially now, as everyone is so sick of current affairs. Some appreciation of our history and those that came before (First Nations, slaves and settlers from all over the globe) might...might make us appreciate each other a bit more, especially the diversity in our culture.
Agreed. I would especially love to see our continent's "Pre-Columbian" history explored. There were so many vibrant cities and civilizations...things US schoolchildren are never taught.
We visited New Grange in Ireland 2016. It is amazing over 2,000 years of circle tomb construction and use occurred using human power and horse and rafts to haul huge stones to build these structures. Our home in Oregon is considered a bit old since it was a stage stop built in 1880. Humbling to think how long ago these structures were built with huge effort.
Mine's an old homestead about 10-20 years younger. "Oldest" thing around. (Repair bills to prove it!). I love the feel of places with history, and exploring Britain has been a joy.
@@jturtle5318 And what may be even more interesting is that the Bru na Bóinne features extensively in our mythology, hinting that our oral traditions and stories go all the way back to that period of time.
I was born in England, Norfolk originally. I saw all of this when I was a child the Roman built walls, Stonehenge, that White Horse by the Celts. No-one knows til this day how they built that horse. England in the summertime is the prettiest time with all the flowers growing and lovely hillls and vales. I remember 3 of us kids tried to make one of the Roman stones dislodge from the wall. Impossible to do. How they built those walls with no cement or whatever still amazes me. The thatched cottages are awesome to look at and very lucky if you see a person thatching their home. Very good video.
I've been to Wayland's Smithy; it felt like all sorts of stuff you couldn't see was happening *just* out of earshot. It felt crowded, and it was okay during daylight; but I wouldn't want to be there at night.
I love all the time team episodes, but Sir Tony’s walks through the UK countryside are my favorite. Also, if, like me, you are a big fan of Tony Robinson, check out Timeline’s (I think?) “Worst Jobs in History,“ an amazing series that also has most of its episodes on here for free. Bless them all because I wouldn’t have made it through the pandemic without them.
Honestly I don't think I've ever heard anyone claim that the Celts were doddering or anything of the sort but perhaps it's because I don't hear about them much in general lol
Absolutely fantastic, the mythic story tellers are afoot. Everywhere is something and someone to tell you a tale, beside a crackling fire and a mug of soup is preferable and then maybe some hot cider or chocolate. The Ridgeway seems to be the road to travel for a holiday or an adventure. Thank you for the inspiring visuals and timelines :)
What if the people who built the stones just wanted to troll us. *Neolithic dude* : Hey, let's build a giant circle of a bunch of stones with varying sizes that will take us probably a century or so to complete. *other Neolithic dude* : Why? *Neolithic dude* : Cause the people who come after us are gonna be so confused. It'll be hilarious.
Yeah they left plenty of good materials, minerals, elements, objects, items, and patterns behind to collect and many fine looking and appealing landscapes the climate, weather, shore, and mass looks fantastic yeah
Didn't know that Professor Tolkien walked the Ridgeway? It kind of makes sense because England's landscape inspired him to write the MiddleEarth legandarium.
Idk why, but the fact that modern pagans/locals are still leaving offerings and asking for wishes makes me a bit happy. Like the god and the magic are still alive and well.
Clicked on this out of curiosity and I am delighted to see a living example of a sacred place at Wayland’s Smithy! Paganism is alive and well and so are the gods and it is touching to see people leaving offerings and taking care of such a place❤️
I truly wish my homeland had such deep, interesting history. ...maybe it does, but it's long lost. An ancient civilisation called Cahokia was nearby. But no one knows anything about it. Or how deep into history it went. We just have some mounds and earthen monuments...
Tony-----many of us ignorami are in need of map references as you tell your many fine stories about fabulous Great Britain. WE barely know England/Scotland/Wales. TY, you are a wonderful storyteller.
Back when people still knew how to connect to our beautiful world...instead of having to make up terms like "earthing" to get us to go out into the wilds of the world...
I am confused about that white chalk horse on the downs. This is the first time I was informed of their ancient antiquity, being around 3,000 years old. I was told in previous documentaries that it was a more recent creation (aka, early 19th century).
Jean Fish I was thinking the same thing. Not only are the ponies easier to see around, they were hardier than horses, and they ate a lot less than horses.
the saxons could have named celts as black - darker hair and skin color or welisc - word for forgiener so surnames like welch, welsh, walsh, wallace, wallis black, morgan, campbell, kennedy(scottish) and maybe others, could denote celtic ancestry
Several years ago I visited Ireland and had the opportunity to visit several very ancient sites dating back before the pyramids. It’s amazing. I would love to visit more of them in Britain and to walk these ridgeways.
One major correlation. For it to be Neolithic, you'd need to put that timeframe to around 10,000 to 15,000 BCE not 4-3,000 BCE. Don't wanna give off the wrong idea here. Love the documentary otherwise.
It would be interesting to see Tony armed and fully fitted upon a stead reeking out justice on the streets of London. It is your right, armor and mace is your badge of office. The bobby says and by what right? Tony says, the Queens' man, by might! (thumping the melon). This would be a very interesting court challenge; even today sergeants still answer to the knight. The strangest situation I've seen are bobbies guarding the house hold guard. (shaking head in disbelief).
In south east Michigan we have a very small town called Ridgeway. An east west and north south road intersect there. The north south road is call Ridge Rd. It runs along the bank of what was a giant swamp extending from lake Erie. It was drained ages ago. In spots, its just high enough above the now billiard table flat farm land, you can see for miles. On clear mornings you can see the power plant stacks from south of Detroit, to the Toledo Ohio area.
The rule that always works in all relationships throughout the ages. In this short video we consider a story that happened in a very interesting time - in times of the Virgin Queen Elizabeth I, whose exceptional reign has been called The Golden Age of England: ruclips.net/video/VgD-o6GMv90/видео.html
Nothing changes, like a young Celtic warrior wouldn't be out with his blinged out chariot, cruising between hill forts for girls. Tony even demonstrated how it was done. I love history!!
Tony was in the John Wayne movie "Brannigan," where he played a loud mouthed motorcycle courier. His other historical programs include "The Worst Jobs in History."
Found John Richard Jefferies book referenced in this video for free on Google books as an ebook! Now tomorrow I shall begin reading! Thank you for referencing Jefferies work. Super excited to read some of his work.

Only thing I have a problem with is his habit of walking away from some of the lovely people He interviews.
Same! but I'm American so its BudLights
All hail Baldrick.
I love all these guys stuff
It’s because he’s not only Sir Tony, but he’s also Baldrick.
Now I really want to walk the Ridgeway. ...Which is problematic, as I live in Pennsylvania.
I think you guys have a little trail yourselves that cuts through your State.
Yeah... But that's the Appalachian trail, which involves hiking thru mountains and camping. Still fun, but a different kind of fun from a stretch of green with lots of towns to sleep in and ancient history to look at.
Same and same!
The Romans writings of the time were the subject of scrutiny, revision, and approved by the authorities.
Did Alfred , in his quest for power consolidation and as a request from the Vatican, helped to search and destroy any documentation from the Culdee church and before, that will contradict the Catholic Roman Church mandate.
Still until now.

Been watching Tony Robinson's doc's for years. Luv his passion for history!
Modern Pagans are reclaiming these spaces for all of us, not just for themselves!
Wish I could go back n see some of these civilization's going about their business
I wonder if McGuire is any type of surname that could originate from a personal name Guire or something and originate to celtic times?
Mac afterall is the Gaelic word for Son
so Mc or Mac is son of, and apparently some gaelic origins may come from celtic?
well, physicists say before the big bang time reverses, although, this 'passage' is inaccessible, apparently.
I hope that it's okay to say: Jason Kingsley, the charioteer, has his own RUclips channel, Modern History TV. It's excellent!
Great show this! I'll watch anything with Tony in it, tbh... Thanks for the upload!
thank you, brilliant recommendation!
I love his channel! I was already looking or somebody mentioned it here, or I would have! 😃
Wonderful! Thanks for the tip, Deena!
I recognized him also.
apparently morgan as a surname can possibly denote celtic origin!!

A stunning program,utterly beautiful scenery...would love to see with my own eyes!
Jefferies writings make me think of Henry David Thoreau and his nature writings. They both invoke primal emotions that connect with nature.
Tony, you just keep topping yourself. Excellent show. Loved seeing Jason Priestly from the Modern History RUclips vlog.
Duh, I meant Jason Kingsley, not Priestly. Sorry, Jason.
This channel is so good! Who needs History Channel when you have Tony Robinson!
we all need a right good bloke to show us the lays of the land! cheers!
(I'm not british I just looove how they talk)
I just absolutely love watching these videos about Britain, it makes me feel at home, which is odd because I’m from Tennessee and I’ve never been anywhere else. ❤️❤️❤️
Didn't the British settle in your area? It's been a while since history class, but I though I remembered that area.
From Tennessee as well. Genetic memories perhaps. I feel the same way too!

It is always a great pleasure to accompany Tony Robinson on his forays into Britain's rich past! Thanks a lot for this!
If you're not driving shorter ponies, the view never changes.
Caught a couple of these on tv and am sovdelighted to se them available here. Hope they will all be uploaded.
I so want to come to UK and walk this Ridgeway. So wonderful, Thank you Tony.
I wonder if your smith ancestors could have been saxon iron workers or blacksmiths

Religion and politics are two sides of the same coin. Neither of which want us to know about “Ancient Civilizations”.
ARROGANCE.
An update-Doc on Doggerland would be nice. The ancient sites under the North Sea.
How long would it take, on average, to walk the Ridgeway? Interested in knowing if camping is permitted or not along the way.
Tony Robinson have a remarkblw level of charisma..
Very good delivery, much appreciated most British accents I can't understand they seem to talk down into their throats, stomachs
Thank you Sir Tony for allowing us to indulge in the beauty and stories of the English countryside from our armchairs.
Anyone else think the backpack is empty? Lol
Hey, it's the dude from "Modern History"!
Why does everyone post amazing historical stuff AFTER my visa was up and I moved home from Britain?
One day I would love to go there and see some of these places.
Oh, i cant help falling in love with UK! Dearest wishes from Kiev!
Absolutely fantastic, the mythic story tellers are afoot.

Outstanding documentary I learned much!

*other Neolithic dude* : Why?
*Neolithic dude* : Cause the people who come after us are gonna be so confused. It'll be hilarious.
I wonder if the Waylands Smithy might have been an inspiration for the name Waylon Smithers, the character in The Simpsons?
Yeah they left plenty of good materials, minerals, elements, objects, items, and patterns behind to collect and many fine looking and appealing landscapes the climate, weather, shore, and mass looks fantastic yeah
Didn't know that Professor Tolkien walked the Ridgeway? It kind of makes sense because England's landscape inspired him to write the MiddleEarth legandarium.
I wonder if the smithy has anything to do with my last name
Wayland the Smith....legendary maker of magical swords...
Nicely done! Love that chalk horse.
Idk why, but the fact that modern pagans/locals are still leaving offerings and asking for wishes makes me a bit happy. Like the god and the magic are still alive and well.
It's amazing how much rich history is in Britain alone.
I really enjoyed this documentary,it’s beautiful country i would love to go there. Thank you Nan
Jason Kingsley spends less than two minutes in the background and foreground of the video yet increases production values by 100%

"And in it he says;"
"SCRRRREEEEAAAAAWWWWW"
... so Tony Robinson saw the Grimes Graves and did not say "where shall we start the trench..."
This makes me want to sell off what I’ve got and walk your roads. Trust me - if I were single... I would be doing just that. ❤️

That horse art is something to ponder. Why called sarsen stones?
And oy! Vegetarians are saving the planet! Don't say "just"!
The Celts were much better metal workers than the Romans in both Gaul and Britain
Modern society seems so hollow in comparison.
Ridiculous. Life back then was fighting and scraping just to survive and then dying before age 50.

I am confused about that white chalk horse on the downs. This is the first time I was informed of their ancient antiquity, being around 3,000 years old. I was told in previous documentaries that it was a more recent creation (aka, early 19th century).
Well it was mentioned in the Abbey of Abingdons charters in the 1070's..
" ponies" are pound for pound 1 1/2 stronger than a" horse" ( maybe the Belgium horse is an exception).
Jean Fish I was thinking the same thing. Not only are the ponies easier to see around, they were hardier than horses, and they ate a lot less than horses.
I just love these shows with Tony. My favorites are the"worst jobs".
So educational and entertaining.Keep it coming Tony.😍😊

the saxons could have named celts
as black - darker hair and skin color
or welisc - word for forgiener
so surnames like
welch, welsh, walsh, wallace, wallis
black, morgan, campbell, kennedy(scottish)
and maybe others, could denote celtic ancestry
Several years ago I visited Ireland and had the opportunity to visit several very ancient sites dating back before the pyramids. It’s amazing. I would love to visit more of them in Britain and to walk these ridgeways.

One major correlation.
For it to be Neolithic, you'd need to put that timeframe to around 10,000 to 15,000 BCE not 4-3,000 BCE. Don't wanna give off the wrong idea here. Love the documentary otherwise.
I was wondering if he would uncover the famous Upson Downs. LOL, sorry, I couldn't help myself.
It would be interesting to see Tony armed and fully fitted upon a stead reeking out justice on the streets of London. It is your right, armor and mace is your badge of office.

Found John Richard Jefferies book referenced in this video for free on Google books as an ebook! Now tomorrow I shall begin reading! Thank you for referencing Jefferies work. Super excited to read some of his work.
