Haunted Burial Mounds of Exmoor 🏴
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 ноя 2018
- Exmoor is a spooky, desolate national park in England which was well populated in the Bronze age by Beaker folk who left burial mounds all over the landscape. In this video I visit Five Barrows, which actually has 9 barrrows, including a bell barrow. I also speak to Professor Alan Outram about the possibility that Exmoor ponies are related to Bronze Age horses of the Beaker folk and therefore descended from Yamnaya horses and I look at Brockenbarrow urn at The Museum of Barnstaple & North Devon, a burial urn which was retrieved from a Bronze Age barrow on Exmoor. Finally I reveal a spooky ghost story from 1630 about an Exmoor man who retrieved a different urn from Brokenbarrow and was haunted by the spirits of the barrow as a result.

In a sane world this would be made into a public television program.
Nope, it's not woke enough. No African Celtic or Germanic Cheiftains and Kangz. This could never be taken seriously unless there are black Vikings like Heimdallr. LOL! And Thor must be a woman or else!...
The quality of your content and the aesthetics of your presentation - is far beyond what we're used to on RUclips. You exceed expectations time and time again and bring professionalism to RUclips in that personal way, which only the best can manage.
Thanks a lot. Your channel is much appreciated.
Amen
I concur.
I am an Exmoorian, i recommend visiting Culbone Church, one of the oldest and smallest churches in England with a Pagan heritage.
Exmoor has managed to avoid the horrors of global economics and industrialisation, a true slice of old England and i cherish it dearly.
One recently disturbed Barrow-Wight disliked this video....
Ho, Tom Bombardil, Tom Bombardilo!...
By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow.....
Pay no attention, it's just the night railing against the morning of which it is bereaved and the cold cursing the warmth for which it hungers.
A perfect combination of Harris Tweed and Exmoor. I am in Exeter. I want to visit these burials mounds. A fascinating video into Britains ancient culture. Thumbs up.
I live on Exmoor. Wet and haunted is a pretty good description. We have lots of stories about people drowning in bogs, or drowning other people in bogs, or finding people half sunk in a bog and being half skeleton and half pickled. Also we scared off the dumb vikings with a giant dancing horse made out of sticks and painted sacks.
@@LivingHistorySchool maybe just put the mus in a sack, and beat it with the stick. ?
Absolutely fascinating video. Kudos to you sir.
you could learn a thing or two about avoiding contemporary political trends that will age like milk the way survive the jive avoids them. I stopped watching history time a long time ago because I couldn't stand the random trendy virtue signals and politically charged interpretations.
Didnt know that McGregor had an interest in European history...
STJ prob mad you compared him to an Irishman xD
McGregor actually did talk about clan McGregor and its history.
Lol
Lol 100th like!🤣🤣🤣
My property is on a US Civil War battlefield in Tennessee. I keep waiting to see ghosts someday! 👻🙀
Your stuff is getting really professional now, keep it up!
Could do with a windshield for the mic
@@GodsOwnPrototype Yeah! even with my back to the wind and behind the barrow, the wind was still strong. Was a very very windy day
@@Survivethejive
I'm not knocking you; still heard you clear as a bell.
The tea documentary you did in Sri Lanka was top notch
@@Survivethejive Search for Micromuff. They're excellent stick-on wind mufflers for cameras and recording equipment. Alternatively, just shove the microphone up into that epic beard which would probably have the same effect! ;)
Intriguing. A good friend of mine from high school (well, 1992, to be precise), Sean Hoaglund, had in his parents' home a glass box over the stone mantel of their fireplace. Within the glass box were rough-hewn stones. I asked about the meaning of the contents -- what they were, where they were from, why they were up there in a central place of honor -- and he cautioned me as I gestured to the box not to touch the contents. My friend Cody and I were all the more curious by his serious expression. "What? Why not?" He said they were stones from a specific Irish burial site, and that bad luck comes to anyone who touches them. I irreverently touched them, assuming he was being silly with us, as did Cody -- just a tap, followed by laughter. That afternoon, we were walking to a friend's house near our school. We passed an apartment complex, and a bunch of Mexican gangsters were partying inside one of the apartments. They popped the screen off when they saw the three of us walking by. One of their friends, this guy Bobby (this White wannabe Mexican), who was a fellow student -- not a friend, but a vague acquaintance through mutual friends -- motioned to us to come over and talk to him as he leaned on a hydrant with another Mexican guy on the corner. I started walking over to see what he wanted, thinking it would be perceived as disrespectful if we ignored him and potentially cause more trouble. I had not noticed that by then, guys -- we later estimated maybe 15 of them or so -- were already hopping out of that apartment window, some of whom had knives, and started approaching us -- first walking fast, then running. Sean yelled at me, "Bill, RUN!", as I was the only one who started crossing the street toward Bobby. I had only just turned to see a horde rushing toward the three of us. We bolted north as fast as we could -- the flash of knives was enough to kick us into Jesse Owens mode. We ran a couple blocks toward a Greek restaurant across from our school, and a friend's sister saw us getting chased and pulled into the parking lot to get us out of there, fast. Since then, haha, needless to say, I do not fuck about with burial items. Coincidence or otherwise, I will never know -- but although we lived in a rough area, we did not typically experience situations like that in broad daylight, completely unprovoked. We must respect the dead and their relics, lest we join them sooner than later.
Hope everyone had a good Samhaine and left out offerings for the ancestors.
You, sir, are a class act. Love your videos. Thank goodness that Britain values its native culture; many places seem to overlook it.
What a beautiful land. It looks like home.
I’m extremely excited for your book coming out and hopefully you will write more! You have helped me understand my people so much!
His wife's book*
In Irish mythology these burial mounds are portals to the fairy world.
The Fae/Fairy/Alf/Elf- The ascended dead ancestors, who no longer reincarnate.
The Fair Folk Under the Hill.
That's a fine tweed suit.
Burial mounds should come back in style
Here in Serbia we have a lot of Burial Mounds (Курган in Serbian), there are also maps where they are located. Most of them are in the province of Vojvodina, there are hundreds of them, but they are not protected and not all of them have been researched. Unfortunately some were damaged and the couple was robbed. Thanks to good people, most have been preserved.
Great content, explained intelligently. Also, I like the tone and pace of these videos, a refreshing change from other RUclips offerings of a similar nature. Keep up the good work.
Where is Tom Bombadil when you need him?
In his lovely home. You need only call him
He's off having a chat with Old Man Willow.
I'll be traveling back to the UK soon and I'll be traveling here, there and everywhere. If I ever do get the opportunity to head west in the three months I'll be there, I'll have to visit this location, although I think most of my time will be spent in the south, along the coast. Thanks for sharing though, man! I always look forward to your videos.
You need to spot us whites
Survive the jive always get a 10/10 in the fashion department
Cool video - i think it was Tolkiens inspiration for barrow and barrow wights - at least this makes me think of lotr lore - funny he mentioned that there are 9 barrows - wonder where the witch king of Angmar dwells :) cool video
Looking very sharp sir, very sharp indeed.
Another fascinating video hitting all my areas of interest. Well done!
Brilliant video. You give an excellent glimpse of early Europe's history. It's wonderful to see these things on the screen, rather than just read descriptions on a page. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it
There's no one doing a better job of bringing our ancestors back to life. So many clues as to why we think, look, act , and believe the way we do now. Thanks, STJ.
I really love your channel. I always immediately watch them. Any plans in the future for more documentaries on Slavic connections to Indo Europeans? I truly appreciate it!
One day I may do that if I have an opportunity to visit a Slavic country
@@Survivethejive thanks for the prompt reply
I've been to that Witchcraft museum in Cornwall. Very interesting video. Moving over to the Southwest next year
The way those people are buried reminds me of the fetal position. Maybe because they are waiting to be reborn? :)
I have also thought that is what is going on here. Like going back into the womb of mother earth waiting to be reborn once again. The borrows resemble the womb, and also the bump of a pregnant woman.
Amazing, what a cool video! Gods I love it when a new Survive the Jive video comes out!
Sound, footage, and above all, the message, are of superb quality. Congratulations Tom
Another great video! Well done StJ! Keep me coming!
Magic mushrooms grow well when nourished with horse manure. We used to pick them in the same field every year. Sad to say the field has now been built on.
There are always other places. They grow in many places like this (in all of northern europe).
Excellent material @Survive the Jive ~ I really enjoyed this
Looking good Jive, loving the formal look!
I love the shot at the end with the candles! That "dutched" camera angle makes for a great composition at the table.
Nice outfit, Thomas! Proper English gentleman.
Literally last night, I read the section of The Fellowship of the Ring where the hobbits are captured by the barrow wights. What amazing timing with your wonderful video, thank you! Perhaps these were the grave monuments of the children of chieftains. Keep an eye out for Tom Bombadil...
I find your voice very soothing. I like that you were outside on the barrows, and you look incredible in your suit and hat...I really enjoyed your video, It was the first thing I watched this morning while having my coffee. 😌
Gorgeous visual!
I love this channel, what a fascinating video. The people of the Bell Beaker culture really knew how to honour their ancestors!
Went to the Boxing Day hunt on exmoor.. splendid it was too...
Thanks for uploading this on my birthday!!
The way you present evidence of Indo-European culture and give information regarding Indo-European people by visiting European landscapes truly gives a spiritual essence to your entire documentaries on RUclips which is quite mesmerising keep up the great work may the pagan gods be proud of your great work.
So glad i found your channel its fascinating.
not what i was expecting... nice work man.
Very interesting story! Please do more of that kind of videos! :)
Fantastic work as always.
The eternal Jive
Excellent video. The environment of the barrows is indeed foreboding, yet compelling and hauntingly familiar. Can’t really explain it.
Got to love the moors. Such lovely terrain.
Excellent content, the Kurgan culture is fascinating to learn about.
Bona Fide english style! That suit, cap and tie. Great! Missed the pipe though.
Great video!
Great video,
Very informative,
Thank you
love the outfit, perfectly fitting the expertly described subject
Brilliant work.
Nice work 👍
So very interesting, thank you.
spooky stuff lad
If not burnt, I'd rather be laid down as I was when in my mother, I've often considered the burying of people flat on their back and straight as freakish.
It feels more like a rebirth into nature 🤗
I remember visiting this area some yrs ago on a dark overcast windy day & the whole seemed to project an aura of mystery & menace.
Good video, the moors do have an eerieness about them (not that that's a a bad thing).
Good kit. Presentable.
Love the music
At 2.05 mins in, a mist form suddenly appears to be sat to your left and slightly infront of you... I think it's just a spec of rain but kind of appropriate given the title of this video 😏
Looking smooth tommy
I really really like your content. Could you please share more thoughts on Evola? Greetings from Germany.
I have discussed him in many videos and also in podcasts
Very nice video👍🏻
Nice to see the poppy, Tom. Even though I think most all of us might be on a different side than the soldiers ideologically it's important to respect the dedication and courage of our countrymen who served nonetheless.
Refreshing casual presentation and information, not the usual dynamic jumping about pre-schooled rhetoric. more please.
Proud to be a patreon
Interesting thought that those ancient houses on top of the moor were only occupied during the summer . When we visited Lewis we were told that the crofters used to take their cattle up to summer pastures away from the Croft and some members of the family would stay with them in a little house up there while others stayed at the Croft , growing crops and making hay
Thank you very much! What about a piece from Sir Thomas Browne's 'Hydriotaphia, or Urne Buriall'?
Another great video. I think those chopped up toads were common frogs which looked like they were eaten by buzzards - seen this a lot in my brigantian hone range of the Pennines. A sacraficial offering from nature to the ancestors. Keep these videos coming!
Robert Brumfitt so buzzards eat your only the head and then leave the legs? Why? Also why would buzzards place them in a ring around the barrow?
@@Survivethejive I was just going off the two images off your video but if that was the case it does seem more obscure. If there was a defined trail around the barrow then it wouldn't be uncommon for a polecat to kill amphibians and leave them along the trail but they tend to leave them inside out to avoid the toxins in the skin. Sounds like witches. If you ever see them performing these ceremonies advise an invasive sacrifice. I was only trying to point towards a piece of natural intrigue
good vid & like the peaky blinders outfit!
VERY INDO-EUROPEAN
HolyOak666 Indo-European type beat.
Experience African "cultures" and this phrase will take on a lot more meaning.
My biggest issue with living in the US is not being able to visit sites like this without travelling an ocean. No connection to the land.
nu ll, same here fam
Very interesting.
I wish I had such a nice English outfit like his. Can’t even find a proper tweed jacket or Hunter boots.
Damn the Expulsion of the Loyalists!
Sad 😞 Seppo noises!
Fascinating
I like how this guy is basically intelligently talking. Not the typical (I don't even know what type of terrible communication) that common reporters and youtubers use.
I love the ancient horses!
This video and the barrel burning video did not show up in my subscriptions, I am subscribed and belled.
Phil Lord weird. Others report the same thing
Be interesting to see if there is a close relation between the small ponies of Exmoor and the ones found in the Asian Steppes, which look similar to an untrained eye. The huddled burial position of the Beaker people, meanwhile, also reminds me somewhat of predynastic Egyptian burials, such as 'Ginger' now in the British Museum. Same custom of including numerous pottery vessels in the grave, too, and sometimes lining the grave pit with stone slabs.
Thank you.
Lol, at 13:28 when you say "having pierced into the bowels of the hillock", to my american ears it first sounded like "pissed". So I thought no wonder the guy got cursed. The nerve to go and piss into someones burial mound!
Happy to hear about the mushrooms. I wonder if they were used by the ancients.
Jake Mcnamee Almost certainly. I doubt indigenous people ever really missed anything in nature. The pointed hat of Ingui Frey looks exactly like the pointed tip/hat of these truely magical mushrooms.
Great work as always. Thank you. Have you ever visited the Rollright stones or Weland's smithy?
Yes for my film From Runes to Ruins. Watch it!
I live in Stockport northern England but the hills surrounding the town are mainly in Derbyshire.
There are many barrows or Cairns littering the hills. They are not marked on the ground but with an os map you can find them.
Reminds me of a site up here in the mendips (not far from exmoor) called priddy nine barrows.
Still need to visit Exmoor sometime, been close but never close enough, would love to see the Horses, the primitive colours and the fluff they have make them one of my favourite breeds. I feel somewhat of a connection to the Horses, the idea they migrated with our Indo-European ancestors, idk it's cool to me.
Until fairly recently, some of those horses got rounded up and sold one a year at Bampton Fair (which is still a thing) ruclips.net/video/9gl_VndKGzo/видео.html
out of curiosity, and meaning no offense,do you have any qualifications in history or anthropology?
i love your videos, the information, the tone,the message.
MA in history
Thanks.

Chopped up toads seem to be the doing of the birds to me; is there a tradition there for choppin up toads?
I thought it was an owl too when i saw the first one, but then I noticed that there were 6 or 7 all positioned around the barrow, and nowhere else. Also, only the heads were removed. What kind of bird eats the head, but leaves the juicy legs behind?
@@Survivethejive Good point - everything changes in situ
@@Survivethejive Tell those Wiccan LARPers they need to bugger off or face the penalty of Dyeus Pater
@@Survivethejive I saw all sorts of weirdness like this down at the ruins of Buckfastleigh Church on a Halloween visit years ago. The graveyard of the church has a tomb containing the chap who inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, and that regularly had various similar decorations scattered around it.
Thankyou
I am of dutch stock and feel deeply rooted to my land, notably the dutch moors in the center with lots of bellbeaker mounds where I roamed as a kid. The DNA of the most ancient bones found in the netherlands, the Swifterbant culture, peasants of 6000 BC, has been revealed as being identical to the dutch of today, and their facial recomposition show tall dutch blonde people. I believe as has been suggested that the bell beaker culture were burial traditions and and technical progress in weaving and potery making that travelled over Europe not as much as a people, as you suggest with everything originating from the steppes, the Kurgans. It not only does not feel right but you also have to account where all the thousands of hunter gatherers of the Doggerbank went, they did not sank in the North sea with the water level rising but settled on the dutch and british shores in my opinion.
not identical 8000 years ago! They were genetically more like Sardinians than modern dutch. Dutch have Indo-European DNA that came in the last 5000 years
