I think you'll find that the Britons were just Britons. What we call the Welsh today are the last remnant of the Britons. Celt is a lazy modern term adopted to refer to a group of languages that share some similarities.

@@simonpayne8252 I am familiar with the distinction. But there was I think a difference between those Britons who were largely incorporated into Roman culture in southern England from those that were less so in what we now call "Wales". And for lack of a better term, I used the word "Welsh". I also concede your point about the term "Celt". However, I still find the term to be useful when differentiating between broad cultural groups such as Latin, Germanic, etc. But there is no doubt that the "Celts" were not some homogeneic culture, but many different cultures spanning across millennia and the breadth of Europe.

I wish I still had one

What amazes me is that @1750, I glimpsed a Blockbuster video!

allot of the rings back then were made to fit over gloves.... possibly why it's so big?

Bamburgh is easy to see why it had been used as a place to build forts , castles etc from around age onwards . I've never been but it's on my list

@kevcaratacus9428 I go every year in summer. it's so beautiful. You can see the Farne Islands and Holy Island from there on a clear day. You will love it , make sure you go.

Is it free to visit?

@snappytomatoe Yeah it is. You pay to get into the castle and the car park but thats it.

Current chronology dates are wrong.

I had no idea blockbuster made it across the Atlantic.

I haven't seen a blockbuster video in the states in over 20 years.

well it is archaeology maybe it was an old Roman Block Buster

I thought that, too! Haha. And Alice looks quite young.

could be, but those people were already excellent gold smiths and jewelry makers, and that seems to have been brought from early Scythian forebears, who used similar designs. .

Utter rubbish.

Literally all European peoples were expert craftsman and produced artifacts of immense beauty and amazing detail. These people were apprenticed from a very young age and possessed knowledge and skills that have been changed or lost over time. Saxon craftsmanship was however incredibly popular and sought after all far beyond Europe - It does have a certain enchanting power and Naivety which is very unique - you can even see other cultures in Asia which attempted to emulate Saxon craftsmanship - from weaponry To jewellery.

That said I do make silver pieces and naturally everything comes out looking like Saxon work.

Mead not meat. Mead is made by fermenting the sugars in honey.

@@GGK2006 I hope they said mead because if she said meat that's ridiculous and completely false

@@GGK2006 I checked the video again she did say they were eating a lot of meat and attributed the dental decay to that but did also say they were drinking mead

No, she didn't. She listed what the people ate and clearly said that the starches in the flour and sugars in mead were to blame. She never said meat caused tooth decay.

@@theclumsyprepper yes she did say that but she also said meat before she listed those things listen back carefully AGAIN

indeed. i hope they treat those bones well while and after photographing and studying them. But as for the gold, the dead did not take it with them. burying it is a waste.

A vast melting pot indeed - and yet the vast majority of English society was whiter than white until the late 1960's. Most people at my school in Herefordshire in the 1980s were BLONDE! If England was always as "multicultural" as revisionists insist - why weren't the English Mediterranean in appearance like the people of southern Italy, Greece or Spain? Surely with 2000 years of multiculturalism we would be Latino? Alice Roberts looks pretty typical of an English person. White. Deal with it. The English are white people. 🤗🤭

They did not go to avoid Saxons, they went to avoid Romans! 400 years out? Also there was 'No sudden takeover' That is Victorian blah

the Celts already had Christianity whent he Romans took over. They got it from missionaries, not from Rome. But rome did take that over as well.

that seems to have been a kid like maybe a 12 year old or younger. Sad how they acted in those days. He didn't stand a chance, probably tried to defend himself. Also that is why the crippled and kids had weapons in the graves- those were for self defense.

2010 was when it was recorded

@@darkstarr2321 its crazy how fast ( because of new technology) archaeology, is changing. I started working for the museim archaeology unit almost 35 years ago. When resistivity and magnetic surveys were improving and updating old ideas. Since then especially from 2010 onwards technology seemed to improve almost overnight each month each year . We used to set up before any digging using the old levels and staffs, sorting a benchmark from which every new layer every artifact would use to record the exact details. Now there are geo surveyors who turn up & set up a machine that scans the whole archaeological site using satellites while we ( field archaeologists) clear off for 15 mins and have a coffee . It's like something you see on tv when cops a few recording a crime scene. Plus changes in dating finds and analysing soil from undisturbed layers of archaeology, & core samples The results are amazing, compared to when I started the limitations, the time it took the varying results. Now everything seems possible. When belgic settlers started farming, what thsy farmed , what animals they kept , the changes throughout the decades re weather, hotter wetter than usual, any changes to their usual routine. Times of trouble or lack of labour due to "plagues " etc The changes , its all happening so fast. GPR , and Lidar are two of my favourites. But thankfully nothing as of yet has been created that replaces people like myself the humble field archaeologist and our trowels , our experience are still needed to 'dig stuff up" ;)

At 35:41, yep. Those are English teeth 😂

@@user-xy8xe6ng6j Tired and boring American stereotype for the British, not English. Americans have worse teeth

Normandy ?

@@juliaforsyth8332 Normandy did not exist at that time and it is far further down on the French coast. Normandy meaning North man was land given to the Viking Rollo the walker by the King of France in a cowardly attempt to try and stop the Scandinavian raids on the country. The group would continue there until Rollos descendant William the Conqueror invaded England as he had a claim to the throne, so the Normandy element joined the saxons far later

True, although the Franks were Germanic too.

@@Gladedancer Yeah they had some Gaul ancestry but also mixed heavily, the original French would have been far more Germanic before they were replaced. The Normans were the viking descendants who did marry into some French lines but many also took norman or sometimes Briton partners. Intriguingly it is said that despite Robert Duke of Normandy having a wife (who has disputed origin due to a lack of documentation leading to the name William the bastard) he also had a relationship with a Briton woman and it is said that this Briton may in fact be William the Conquerors mother. The Britons were a Celtic people who had migrated to France, likely due to the Anglo-Saxon groups arrivals.

She might have been referring to the French (Viking) Normans.

Unlike in the people of rest of the Western Roman Empire - Gallo-Romans and Franks in Gaul, Visigoths in Spain, Ostrogoths in Italy etc. - the Romano-Britons put up a considerable fight against Germanic incomers. It took about 150 years before the Anglo-Saxons achieved the upper hand over the natives.

2010. I was wondering much the same.

So outdated. There are much better docs on here about what Probably happened. This is the old Victorian twaddle 'Wave upon wave of warriors' Really? Did they disappear on landing? .There is No evidence at this time to suggest anyone 'Invade' Nor is there any proof that the country fell apart after the Romans left. Things happen Gradually, it isn't like shutting or opening a door!

Old enough to have a Blockbuster Video store in it.

Right. if anything they fought while working for a neighboring king. Or just settled there.

It was an invasion though, anything else is just cope

slavery comes with the beginning of time

we play like married and share the work load .

Whats that got to do with Islamic invader s, they marry their own the reason they dont ever integrate..

the Dark Ages started different in continental Europe

Umm all of them? Both sides? 😊

It’s a fascinating period featuring people who did leave a genetic and cultural legacy, but it also happened like 1500 years ago. The psychology alone is hard to understand and impossible to experience. It doesn’t make any sense for someone in the 21st century to identify with them. You are someone else and your time is now. Better to focus on being someone later generations will admire.

@@SorryPlayAgain who are marxist traitors to decide what people should be, you lot are gonna get rope for your deceit..

The two groups combined to fight off Vikings incursions into northern England. The Angles and Saxons. Unfortunately for the Saxons the Anglo bit stuck and became Angleland, then eventually England. The French still call us Angleterre.

@@Ax3y thanks !!

The term Anglo-Saxon seems to have been first used by Continental writers in the late 8th century to distinguish the Saxons of Britain from those of the European continent, whom St. Bede the Venerable had called Antiqui Saxones (“Old Saxons”).

Possibly that's mainly what they can find. The ordinary Joe Bloggs isn;t usually found with interesting stuff.

Silence, pleb.

@sjohnson4882 Julia comment is true, ordinary / poor people aren't buried with 'grave goods' most were cremated and put in an old jar with nothing. Truth is archaeologists dig everything, but programmes like this are only interested in showing high status artifacts, buildings etc. They spend years digging up ordinary bits of Roman wall or remains of wooden halls , nobody ( gen public is interested) but when they dug up a burial full of posh pottery, glass wine vessels, a silver brooch or two, then everyone wants to visit the site, press send people to take pics & ask questions, It's just the nature of ordinary people which is understandable. But the arkies are interested in everything else too! It's all info.

The documentary is fourteen years old.

@@theclumsyprepper lol, now that explains it! I should have looked into that.

Roman Saxons was Roman Mercenaries

It’s AI generated, one would have to ask the AI.

You’re right!! I’m outraged!! The Anglo-Saxons were obviously of Sub-Saharan African heritage and most likely non binary.

Anglo Saxons had dark hair, medium brown hair, blond hair, and red hair. Just like people in middle-Western Europe and England today.

When I saw the thumbnails, I assumed it was about medieval southern Europeans. However, they did show them as white folks. Gemeni AI, Netflix, or the BBC would have shown them as black.

@@citytrees1752 I get what you mean, but AI portrayed them more as Southern Europeans.

I Think both are pretty much the same thing

@@kevcaratacus9428 and what is an abbey? Suppose they are all interchangeable

@@catherinenugent6326 a numnery/ convent is for women. An abbey, monastery is for men, monks, priests, an Abbott. Both have a church, and grounds , surrounded by walks and large gates , inside were living quarters, places to grow their own veg and herbs, keep animals, especially goats- milk - cheese A hospital/ infirmary, kitchens. They were self sufficient & They also looked after the poor & fed them.. Monasteries were larger than numnerys. I think the women kept themselves away from the outside world in general. They didn't provide the things or deal with the poor in the way the monasteries, friarys did. They also gave a few silver pennies to the poor at certain times of the year ( saints days etc). They were Catholic, so after Henry 8th broke from Rome and started the protestant church of England he took their land and kicked them out He kept & sold their lands. I guess the poor suffered the most . All because Henry 8th wanted a divorce..

Well yes it can. Fresh red meat is high in acid plus if food is caught in a cavity it can cause dental problems and encourage the formation of plaque.

@juliaforsyth8332 fresh meat is not high in acid, and erosion of dental enamel is most common when dietary carbs are fermented to acid bu oral bacteria. Pre-agricultural (ie ore-grain) humans had far fewer caries. Of all the things she mentioned, meat should be at the bottom of the list

I think the type of writing changed, more so. Saint’s lives and religious sermons such as those from Gildas survive from this period, and writings became plentiful in Ireland in the following centuries. More focus was placed on religious writings during this period, and historical chronicles emerged later on as the style became more popular.

There’s no evidence for that. The DA were caused by Islamic pirates across the Mediterranean. Notice how trade takes place across land and not using the sea ‘superhighways’. Latin was still used. NT Greek.

Celtic Christianity was in place well before the Romans left. What came in was the RC pagan religion, and the gospel had to be preached yet again by Aiden et al.
