    i feel such a deep spiritual connection to dartmoor that i've never been able to explain. i've been all around the world but i always end up back in devon because i cannot seem to pry myself away from this extarordinary landscape

      its an artificial glacial tundra ecosystem from agricultural biocide
      certainly a romantic landscape to the ignorant quite tragic tho really
      I grew up there family still lives there also one of my favorite places

    It's hard to describe the connection I feel to people who lived on this land. I have no idea if I am related to anyone there and my life today is so far removed from theirs. But I have always felt a deep connection to my forebears. I always feel a deep peace when hiking on Dartmoor.

    Only saw a tiny fraction of all this when I was there but there's so much of it in among the beautiful countryside you don't really mind. The place is utterly spellbinding and I'll be there again next month!!

    Thank you wonderful information I love Dartmoore ,Wistamans wood where time stood still it's truly got an out of this world feel ,I have layed on the larg stone slabs in the old Narled trees bent from the winds that thunder across the Moores on storm nights .
    I believe there are many hidden secrets on the Moores still to be found one day .

    I look forward to 'restorative farming/rewilding' on Dartmoor. It pains me to see such a barren, overgrazed landscape without regrowth or biodiversity; this is not wild but man managed!

    There's a good chance much of Dartmoor would not have been a moor in her day as it was the Neolithic and Bronze-age farmers who by clearing the trees and vegetation to make way for pastures for livestock created the moor

    • @modelleg

      You might be right about that. Would there be evidence of previously standing trees burried in the more?

      Keep trying to learn and watching videos in English helps a ton while learning a new language. It’s been 6 years have you gotten any better? I understand a lot more Spanish than I can or am willing to speak with fluent speakers, but I’m always trying to learn Spanish and become comfortable speaking it, and writing in it. Peace

      most of the tribes that lived on the Dartmoor in the bronze age are genetically either totally unrelated or make up the smallest part of a % of modern Brits. Even the Celts ( Celtic cultures) surviving to this day are mostly those who came later from continental France and the valley of the Rhine

    • @Survivethejive
      @Survivethejive 5 лет назад +7

      wrong. The Celtic languages were adopted by the Bronze age British beaker people. Modern British people are the same as Bronze age beaker people

      Stanislav Kostarnov yes the dna analysis done on the bones of the cheddar man found near identical results with todays occupants despite most britons imagining they descended from romans. they did not.

    • @horderp2767

      "Britain saw significant population changes, however. Beaker culture was taken up by a group of people living in Central Europe whose ancestors had previously migrated from the Eurasian Steppe. This group continued to migrate west and finally arrived in Britain around 4,400 years ago. (See How does Cheddar Man fit into this? box and Population movements into Britain maps at the bottom of this page.)
      The DNA data suggests that over a span of several hundred years, the migrations of people from continental Europe led to an almost complete replacement of Britain's earlier inhabitants, the Neolithic communities who were responsible for huge megalithic monuments such as Stonehenge.
      The DNA also shows that the Beaker folk would have had generally different pigmentation that of the population they replaced, who had olive-brown skin, dark hair and brown eyes. In comparison, the Beaker folk brought genes significant reduction in skin and eye pigmentation, with lighter skin, blue eyes and blonde hair becoming more common in the population."

      @@velvetindigonight those few who run the planet are psychopaths. They rise to the top of any establishment and take over. I suppose those types of personality disorders are mother nature in action, or the behaviours wouldn't exist if they weren't useful? Real clinical psychopaths have differing brain structures at birth, so maybe there's a need for deranged leaders, who knows..,? 🤷

      Maybe. They could test her DNA to find out. Even today nearly half of Britons don't have blue eyes, though dark brown is not as common as light brown or hazel.

    • @antigen4
      @antigen4 3 года назад

      sonofherne brown, dark brown amber and hazel are not genetically different. just variations that happen in individuals. certiwnly members of the same family often have mixed eye colours

      @horderp2767 2 года назад

      its common for neolithic peoples to be depicted as darker some of this is actually from the archeological record some of it is modern social artifact
      blue eyes had emerged in homo sapiens some 30 thousand years prior neanderthals might have evolved them separately even earlier but dont quote me on that one

    Quite good until you got to the dramatisation of the Exmoor woman.
    It is extremely unlikely that a woman would have been "important". Any more than the Downing Street cat is important.
    Before at least 1000 CE women were very much considered property. They owned nothing and were completely subservient to their male companion. There is enormous amounts of evidence to support this. Today, such suggestions are considered sexist. But we must not implant our values onto the past.
    We see in all similar existing societies that women were very much home-makers and child bearers. That was about it. That is not condescending, it is how it was. Even up to 150 years ago, women very rarely were involved in leadership, politics, or economics in Britain.
    It is entirely possible that she was the beloved of someone of importance. But the evidence points to there being a distinct lack of what we would call an hierarchy, and extreme importance on family and "clan".
    We should be extremely careful not to ascribe our culture and values to prehistoric societies. Particularly promoting these as a point of education.
