    His mum was my primary teacher, she was extremely inspiring and an amazing teacher. Seems Julian has inherited her gifts..

      Of course Cope won't get his own program - he babbles nonsensical acid based gibberish with little to no historical knowledge. And - this is a big one - he's bereft of wit or tongue in cheek humour. The less said about his sartorial style and general appearance the better. That said, he's a very decent chap.

    I didn't know Julian Cope. I heard about him on an italian radio show last week. This man must be on my same frequency. I like everything he does. He even wrote a book about Krautrock (you can see a Neu! t-shirt under his jacket).

    Julian Cope was my gateway drug into archaeology. 20years later, countless digs, finds, locations, cultural horizons, inter-disciplinary collaborations & (i gotta say this) ruined knees later, life is so much sweeter for it. Diolch yn fawr iawn, Arch-Drude.

    0:59 Julian gets it wrong, yes the Scots lived in Northern Ireland at the time but Scotland itself was ruled by the Picts, the Scots that came over from Ireland were interbreed with the dominant Picts, who then took the name Scots and called the country Scotland.

    • @cwmbran-city
      @cwmbran-city 4 года назад +1

      But who were the Picts? Cultural, genetic, regional? Chronologies - Romano-British, Iron-Age, Bronze-Age or even older? Not judging, as an archaeologist their traditional territories could be interpreted within the broader "Celtic" world. Imho, it's a linguistic hiccup tag, just as much as "Celtic" is.

      Who made the cauldron? Where was it made? What purpose did it serve? Why did it end up carefully disassembled and stacked in pieces in a Danish peatbog? None of these things are known because none of its historical context was recorded by its culture... because the recording of history was not a facet of the culture that created it... it was from a place where recorded history was not yet being generated.... it was PREHISTORIC.
