Thank you to everyone who joined us on the premiere viewing and to all of you who have commented since. We're quite overwhelmed with the response to our film and we're full of gratitude for the amazing support there is for this channel. You make it all possible and we so much hope our upcoming projects and shows will continue to bring you pleasure. Next stop: Göbekli Tepe ... ! 😊
Looking forward to more. I've been sharing tour stuff since getting a copy of Standing With Stones what seems like decades ago and in fact is. Your presentation style is always engaging and inviting and it's great to see these themed and site specific works unfolding. It used to be less of a popular topic, which the internet was bound to change. I'm fortunate that a lot of the sites you've covered in UK and Ireland I've actually visited, so it's bringing back the amazing scenery and scale of the landscapes and artifacts I've enjoyed in real life too and doing a very good job of that too
Hi guys love you’re work I’m currently wanting to explore all these sites is there anywhere I can gain access to a map so I don’t get lost lol. Luv u guys @prehistoric guys ❤
"We build replaceable houses and permanent tombs" I was surprised at myself that when my husband died, I spent so much time on a stone for his grave. I would nt have predicted I would do this, but it was extremely important to me. It was nt until I watched this wonderful film that I understood. 'Its a human thing". Thank you..
Wow gents, such a brilliant film! The fabulous script, narration, cinematography and editing could easily pass for a high-budget BBC documentary - only thing giving away it's not was the fact you guys avoided all the classic misinformation by digging much deeper, both literally and metaphorically. 👏😁
9:10 It is very refreshing for a historian/archeologist to offer the point of cause to be nothing more than human stupidity, which is as old as time. "I don't know" is the most powerful statement you will ever make to yourself because it means there is work to do and a mystery to solve. People drop things, hide things, accidently set things on fire... not everything has a deep meaning.
Rewatching already, a half hour after debut. Beautifully filmed and scripted. The music also fitted so well. Rupert's words with the skull reminded me of the end of Standing with Stones .. We're still here. I wish I could like twice.
I've been listening/watching you guys for a while now, and I am simply in awe of your ability to make this complex study understandable. After this film, I really feel like I understand long barrows for the first time. (I'll have to watch it multiple times to absorb the knowledge you present - but I can see a glimmer!)
Just Amazing! I love how the two of you lovely men put together your shows. Either a happy chat, or a grand, inciteful documentary. It shows us that the family unit is not new, neither of Judeo/Christian origins. I have a tear in my eye, my heart moved as you look respectfully, and admirarily into the face of our human family member not lost to us, only an unnamed soul, of one moment, long, long ago. Thank you sincerely!
I have watched Standing With Stones at least 4 times. I cannot express my appreciation of such a superb documentary. Please continue and never doubt you have devout subscribers. Thanks for your efforts from such a small group. Take care - JP PS, The music fits perfectly.
Thank you Mr. Rupert Soskin and team for the history and archaelogy film..brings the knowledge and enlightment. The research, the filmography and the presentation, just briliant and way leading.
I am so happy that you appeared on my feed.I have always been fascinated by ancient history and living in Canada I love to learn about the history of the land my ancestors are from.
Wayland's Smithy is the most amazing place I have ever been. Truly otherworldly place. I am not superstitious at all, but if an elf walked out of the entrance I would not have been surprised one bit. Imagine the power of that place on the minds of Neolithic people?
Places like that continue to feed our minds and I'd say our souls. There wouldn't have been a Utha Pendragon or a Gandolf without them. Whoever planted those beech trees around it did us all a great service. They really enhance the reverence one feels for the place. Being a discrete distance off the Ridgeway, and on the way to the Whitehorse just adds to the mystery of that big sky and those distant views.
OH MY, GREAT JUST GREAT DO CARRY ON, THIS FILM WHEN DONE WILL BE OUT OF THIS WORLD IN MORE THAN ONE WAY, YOU GUYS DO MAKE GREAT FILMS AND PUT YOUR ALL INTO THEM. I ALWAYS SHARE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND DO POSTS, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK U BOTH DO TO BRING THESE FILMS TO US ALL. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH U BOTH, BE SAFE, STAY WARM (Sorry for caps. Vision problems.)
Thank you! Australian here - I've been fortunate to visit a few long barrows in England, including Weyland Smithy. They've always fascinated me, and I'm very grateful for this wonderful information. 🙂 I look forward to more.
Been there. Went on a primary school trip, with candles. Teacher told us we could keep any bones we found but those were long gone. A wonderful day out.
Starts 3am in Western Australia. I have absolutely no idea what happens at 3am here, I don't start existing till 4:30 at the absolute earliest. I'll watch this on the beach, with the dog, as the sun starts to warm the sky.
In 2018, on two separate business trips to the UK (April and December), I visited Stoney Littleton and West Kennet respectly and they are both fantastic! I am still amazed that these sites are completely open to the public and thrilled that they are. I was dubbed with the nick name, "Indiana Sleppy", by my colleague for entering the Stoney Littleton "tomb" against his better judgement. As well as for actually being from Indiana. 😉 Lovely video, thanks for sharing, Mark "Indiana" Sleppy
Thank you so much for your dedication to telling us the stories of these far off times, everything that you two do is well thought out , scripted and filmed/edited wonderfully, again, thank you both so much! All the best Jules
Absolutely bloody brilliant…. My goodness Guys you make Brilliant documentaries. I 💚 it!!!! (I so appreciate the fact that you didn’t put musick over Rupert’s narration) So great….well done The Pre-history Guys.
A wonderful short film that taught me a lot in a short time. You guys are great film makers! I will watch this several times, as I have your “Standing with Stones” film.
This is one of the most informative and well produced film I have seen on this topic. Thank you for your incredible dedication to sharing your knowledge
I visited a small long barrow,ie passage grave in ireland many years ago, where I experienced a time slip? Very strange place ....facing the setting sun...a bubble in time !
This was a great video! The cinematography and music were fantastic and of course Rupert’s narration. All so enjoyable. This was right up there w/ your Standing with Stones movie.
Interesting that on the tv RUclips has the date in American standard- 11/10/23. So I thought I’ve missed it. But fear not! It’s actually the 10/11/23😅 Also, I can’t wait. Thanks MnR ❤I’ll be signing up for the Patreon soon- I’ve literally watched everything two or six times on the tv whilst I convalesce from recent surgery. My favourite Channel in the Prehistoric World. Cheers 🍺🍺🍺
As an American of English decent - my father's father was born in Britain - it's beyond my understanding what it would be like to grow up near barrow tombs that probably housed my ancestors. On this huge, still relatively untamed continent, we're lucky to occasionally unearth a Native American burial and the giant Cahokia cities of the Midwest and their burial areas were seen but not understood as the remains of a once-thriving ancient city until recently I hope those who were raised on this ancient English soil and grew up amidst the prehistoric constructions of the people from which their - and my - lineage descended appreciate the unbroken connection to hundreds, maybe thousands, of generations of kinsfolk. It must be a humbling experience.:-)
Thanks for this fascinating and moving account of UK long barrows. I live in Europe now, so it was lovely to 'revisit' some of my favourite old haunts.
Amazing job y’all! Gosh damn I wish you did one of these every week but I know it takes a long time. I’m just saying selfishly I wish I could see this every week and am so very excited about the next one
I enjoyed this so much. I know I'll watch it over and over. This is a beautifully done film, well written, presented and shot! You two are a film making, story telling phenomenon. I suspect it is not what you are after, but I hope you get the widespread recognition you deserve!
This is fascinating , thank you for uploading. Just discovered your channel, but will be checking out the other videos as soon as I can, hope they’re as good as this one👍
WOW!!!!!!!!! Congratulations to everyone involved in the production of this video, the production values make it a compelling, informative and rewarding watch👍👍 Thank you, you have made an old man very happy....
I just rediscovered you guys a couple of days ago. My phone had an encounter with a three year old and lost my RUclips info. I love what you do. I would really like to see you cover poverty point in Louisiana and some of the other earthworks in the eastern woodlands area of America

29 hours? I have to wait 29 hours? Ok, turn on notify!

yes, there's a beautiful symmetry there!
No one else produces prehistory documentaries as well as you do. Quality script, stunning visuals, clear and informative story.
Thanks so much Nigel:)

Oh I am SO looking forward to watching this. Thanks pre-history guys!
Thank you Mr. Rupert Soskin and team for the history and archaelogy film..brings the knowledge and enlightment. The research, the filmography and the presentation, just briliant and way leading.
What a gorgeous film! I especially loved how well tended many of these sites appeared to be.
Scholarly without sucking the life out of the subject. Marvellous.
I am so happy that you appeared on my feed.I have always been fascinated by ancient history and living in Canada I love to learn about the history of the land my ancestors are from.
Brilliant. Looking forward to watching this
Wayland's Smithy is the most amazing place I have ever been. Truly otherworldly place. I am not superstitious at all, but if an elf walked out of the entrance I would not have been surprised one bit. Imagine the power of that place on the minds of Neolithic people?
How did they bury under the false portal 😅
Places like that continue to feed our minds and I'd say our souls.
There wouldn't have been a Utha Pendragon or a Gandolf without them.
Whoever planted those beech trees around it did us all a great service. They really enhance the reverence one feels for the place.
Being a discrete distance off the Ridgeway, and on the way to the Whitehorse just adds to the mystery of that big sky and those distant views.
Wantage hippies used to hold Solstice parties there...very nice.
@@bamspam23 😍
I've been to Wayland's Smithy, but my drone camera didn't work that day - unlike the picture at the end of this film.
"I don't know" - how refreshingly honest! Excellent and enjoyable presentation.
OH MY, GREAT JUST GREAT DO CARRY ON, THIS FILM WHEN DONE WILL BE OUT OF THIS WORLD IN MORE THAN ONE WAY, YOU GUYS DO MAKE GREAT FILMS AND PUT YOUR ALL INTO THEM.

BREATHTAKING cinematography, sound, and content!!!
Hi gents, it's back to binge-watching RUclips season again... and what a video to start it off with - excellence.
Starts 3am in Western Australia. I have absolutely no idea what happens at 3am here, I don't start existing till 4:30 at the absolute earliest.
I'll watch this on the beach, with the dog, as the sun starts to warm the sky.
starts at 6 am in NSW - I'll at least see the first part of it live! Lucky me
Absolutely fantastic. Bravo Rupert and Michael.
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!❤

Hi Nathan, glad you like our stuff, thank you. I hope you enjoy the new film and wish you all the best for your recovery. R
… but, it's nov 9th … possibly the 8th
First class work gentlemen.
Please take a well deserved bow.

What a wonderful documentary! I wouldn't expect anything else from you two! Would happily watch that level of production for 5hrs 😂...
This is really is Epic piece of work. Most Impressed. Thank you History Guys! :)
This is so beautifully done and this is why I am a Patreon subscriber:) Thank you
That was wonderful, one of your very best. thank you.
Thank you too!
Excellent documentary in both content and presentation......certainly bringing bits of old bones to life here....
Beautiful work guys!
If you guys make Standing With Stone the second with the same production value as this, you're on to a winner.
Loved the review of the barrows and their mystery.
Amazing. Thank you. I can wait to come across the pond to see these places.
As usual. A superb insightful production
loved it. I definitely want to watch it again
As always amazing film thank you for your storytelling

Thank you! Learned loads!
