Please stop calling us Celts. This is a Greek word. We are Gaels. A people ranging from Portugal across Europe into Asia Minor, the Levant and Galilee.
Brutus the trojan / Roman turned up in 1000BC, yes its dismissed as a fantasy, or maybe its truth you guys are not willing to look at. Its said Brutus's 3 sons, formed kingdoms in Scotland, England and Wales.
I recall someone countering a similar point about biographies about napoleon "there are hundreds of different biographies because everyone interprets certain things differently and rationalises that within the evidence in the narrative"
@SocietyofAntiquariesofScotland you just be missing the Irish Travellers part of all this, especially given that Irish Travellers retained their ancestral microbiome. Well done all the same.
It seems to me that a site such as what evolved at Brodgar may have been the heart of connected communities much farther afield than just the Orkneys. It must surely have been a center known wide and far throughout the British Isles, and Scandinavia in all likeliness. Pre-dating and likely seeding the culture which resulted in Stonehenge, and all pre-dating the pyramids. It will certainly be interesting as various finds are investigated and examined, that there will likely be items made far from the Orkeneys themselves? And too, it may then be as likely, items made at the likes of Brodegar may be found elsewhere far and wide. It fills you with a really unsettling, yet beautiful chill up one's spine each time more is revealed about these sort of sites, and re-writes what we think of these so called ''primitive'' people. To me there is nothing primitive about this highly efficient way of life with minimal technology as we know it. Everything that lay around them was their technology: Stone, grass, bark, wood, plant fibres, clay, sinews, bones, an so on.
Once the Ness is covered over for the last time this summer, archaeologists will have enough material for potentially decades of post-excavation analysis! It is truly an exciting time.
I think that the preservation of Mesolithic sites is dependant on the subsequent land use. A distribution map might lead to incorrect assumptions. I think that Mesolithic dwellings will have been nearly everywhere.
Heat waves rolling across the country and its only the middle of June , AYE RIGHT ! the ghouls think everyone believes their broadcasting brothels just like Genocidal Zion there will be no forgiveness for their collusion in these crimes and others
I think I have a new respect for my washing machine which unfailingly loses only one sock 🤭 But seriously… what a very interesting series this is. Already enjoyed the previous two parts and looking forward to the rest ✨🙏✨
I lived in Forres and Elgin for many years and have ancestors who came from Covesea and I never even knew the caves were there 💁😳 How interesting to discover such a rich archaeological history for my home territory 😁
DEI is just anti-White racism. Can we go to Nigeria, China, Peru and demand these things? Basing things on people's skin color, genitilia or who they sleep with, has nothing to do with science. Why do you gave to build an inclusive audience? Lastly, these people are marginalized, it is just empty rhetoric. Why do you gave to build an inclusive audience? It is like that anti-White racist berating Parliament, because Scotland a White country, is run by White people. Disgusting! Can we just get back to treating people with respect, allowing them to succeed on their merit, and having them take interest in something, because it interests them?
It occurs to me this and some other precious metal hordes may have been buried by metalworkers to protect their materials in a time of limited access to unworked metal.
I think they could be compared to structures even further away. The Tas Tepeler sites in what is now Turkey were also built on bedrock, and in circular shape with a wall within a wall. Also, if the brochs were built by the Picts, who some believe to have been of Scythian descent, they could have brought the idea with them and passed it down. I know this is something that probably seems far-fetched but it's always good to keep an open mind when we don't know who built them or why they were made this way.
I wonder if these comparative experiments (human child--chimp--orangutan) really show us what you think they show us. We would need results of experiments designed by chimps and orangutans to know what? Probably that chimps are better at some things than humans and orangutangs, and orangutangs are better at some things than chimps and humans. I'm not being flippant. These "experiments" showing foregone conclusions are not scientific. And are dangerous in that they encourage the experimenters and audience to preen themselves on imagined human superiority. Particularly the male half of our species. By the way, were the human child(ren), chimp(s), and orangutang(s) studied all male?
Pictish raiders and pirate's was the main reason the Romans invaded Caledonia. Pictish and later Scottish raider incursions into England jealous of their wealth was an on going problem that went on well on to the 17th Century.
If indo aryans built the passage graves several thousand years ago why focus on 600 bc in hallstatt as the origin point. I just find this lecture to be incredibly flawed in scope of the timeline of relevant information. There's a mountain of evidence to suggest the origin point is much older and halstatt theory is now very old and I would say debunked, it's a pretty ridiculous theory based on a very old 19th century observation on very little material evidence.
@@SocietyofAntiquariesofScotland Hungary is full of Scythian archaeological finds. There is no other people except the Hungarians whose chronicles show a strong Scythian-Hun kinship
Comet, meteorite fragments impact to ice sheet better explanation than "climate change"? Look at Carolina bays created by ice sheet fragments blasted out from object impact all over USA. Love real science, always more questions
