I know you have to pay the bills and advertise but Hero Wars is just as predatory and awful as Raid Shadow Legends. You can play Hero Wars for free but to join a viable Clan and have some success you have to keep pumping money in. Every few months they bring out new hero's which remain the winning meta for a few months until the next batch are released. Started to play during lockdown and furlough but quickly quit after I realised what the set up was.
@@bneskylights1152 hmmm I cant even try to guess that but what I wonder is what was that spell _supposed_ _to_ _do_ were they going summon asterix and obelix from parallel universe? :D or were they trying to start doomsday in europe as they knew their holy places was about to be desecrated? we will probably never know :( Also too bad we will probably never know fully about druidism too I m not even a western european but it sounds very interesting to me all knowing nomadic magical peacekeepers isnt something you hear about everyday :D
@@ktheterkuceder6825 Should voted to leave EU before the migrant crisis. Now we east Europeans could leave. Some of us will eventually do it. When we leave it could legit become Englanistan. After all about 4m or so white people leaving would make the landscape less English like. Not that we are English but we look near in terms of skin colour. I don't get it tho. As if we east Europeans are less wanted than Pahistani and Indians. As far as I see hey drive taxis, make haircut, burgers and rather dislike hard labour. We east Europeans are the hardest working in UK. That is a fact. When we leave construction will need to decrease, factories will work slower and so on. Tho technically when we leave you wpnt have as much demand for housing so that kinda fixing itself. I sow a blonde British woman on a farm happy euphoric collecting some vegetables from the farm field. Oh boy I laughed so hard. That is so far from realistic.
A video on my people! It's pretty insane what the Roman Empire achieved and built. There's even still Roman-built footbridges perfectly intact less than 100m from my house as well as some remains of Bath-houses.
@@skatingfreak1670 You've gotta get permission etc from the Government to do that on Historic sites in Scotland unfortunately - sucks! They'd probably take anything you found too!
Freedom and the rights associated with it ccomes with responsibilities. Many Americans today focus entirely on rights while iynoring freedom's responsibilities.
@@rogerhwerner6997 Exactly. Most people that cry about freedoms being eroded are the ones that don't want to have to deal with the consequences of their actions.
I get what you're saying but to be annoyingly technical...the Scots of today are honestly mostly of Irish decent (Scotti) from Dal Riada and the assimilated remnants of the Picts post 8th century. The Picts pretty much ceased to exist as a distinct ethnic group by end of 9th century AD.
Celts everywhere are fascinating. Like the Gaulish tribes that invaded Italy, the Gaulish tribes that went into the balkans i think. And that one Celtic pocket (again i think it was the gaulish, yea they kinda spread everywhere at some point) in Asia minor The Iberian celts The original celts (the Helvet) The Celts in the UK And lastly the Bretons which had their own adventure on mainland europe long after all other Brythonnic (i think that the right word) were in decline
A primitive pile of rocks. It’s not impressive at all, not even remotely but it’s a big deal because it’s the only megalith and stoneworks done by native Britannians before Rome arrived
@@JohnDoe-sw1rs true it is only impressive to our society. Would not be to impressive to there's. Still a pretty impressive with the weight of the rocks.
I started to think about the board game Britannia when I watched this. That game starts at the Roman conquest of Claudius and ends just after the Norman conquest.
I, hereby, decleare that watched and liked every single video presented by KnG. My only regret is; i can not forget all of these supreme qualities so i can rewatch them again.
Yes I’ve that one the first tome , I’ll should read it . There is too the “Eagle of the Ninth” the historical adventure for children by Rosemary Sutcliff who told the story of the Ninth Legion and is eagle who disappeared beyond the wall. And a young Roman officer will try to discover the truth about the disappearance of his father Legion.
As usual , incredibly well put together videos, a true pleasure to watch, I seriously can't wait for the next ep in this series , the period of history that I'm most fascinated by
These videos are so helpful in planning my Celtic mythology class. I like to spend the first 6 or so weeks talking about the history of the Celtic people and culture and these are fabulous!
This has probably been one of my favourite series of videos from your Channel. Would be interesting to see you take on similar ethno-cultures and trace them throughout history. I'm thinking maybe the Norsemen or 'Vikings' into the modern age. Or even the Norman's, could do a specific one on the Phoenicians or Hellenes. Even the Khmer, Mon, Persians, Austronesian Taiwanese / Chinese, Tartars, Teutonic peoples, Turks etc lots of options! Would like to see all these forgotten Ethno-cultural groups and what 'happened' to them in a complete narrative like this one.
Let's not forget the Bagaudae revolts in Hispania Terraconensis and Armorica, i.e. the Basques and Bretons that get so little attention. Also the last redoubts of Celts in the Balkans that didn't fall until the 40s and 50s AD. Not to mention there was a Brigantes revolt sometime in the second century ad.
@@matt36866 there were many christian missionaries before Patrick so there is a lot from them. To be fair to the Romans, even though a lot of their stuff is propaganda some of it also gives useful information. Also there is a lot in oral tradition that survived and was written down years later. If only the oral tradition wasn't destroyed, but that happened in nearly every violently colonised country.
@@matt36866 sort of, especially under Niall of the 9 hostages who founded the O’Neill dynasty from Tara hill which became the place where the later high kings were crowned and it’s said he was the one who abducted saint Patrick on one of his famous slave raids in Britain.
As a Berber/Amazigh myself I express my solidarity, friendship, love and respect for my Celtic brothers who fought many invaders like the Imazighan Is breá liom tú
The people of the British Isles and Ireland should be so proud of their long and rich history. It's so good to see that indigenous culture survived the Roman conquest. 😊😊😊
Lovely. I would not necessarily agree with the "disappearance" of continental Celts from history. I see it rather as a "blending in" and adding their cultural features to the general landscape of early medieval society (and what followed). We owe to them a vast amount of toponymics, geonymics, foundations of cities (as settlements, not as civitates, of course), dialects and general customs. What was lost was the explicit geo-political victory, and the cultural awareness of the self, as a consequence. Think about it as a painting: later societies decided the main themes, but the background colours and general style bore the hallmarks of this great, genuinely European culture.
Boudica is still a massive hero to the UK, she was a badass, shame England didn't hold onto more of their Celtic traditions ie language etc Scotland and Wales still hold onto some of their celtic history England's Celts was assimilated and diluted, but with the northern parts holding out longer it is probably part of the reason why northern England has so many accents and is still very proud of being northern to this day at least partially
@@jellydamgood I'd say so, the Romans brought a advanced tactics and weaponry compared to what the Britons had at the time, just because you lose doesn't mean you're not a badass
@@lukea997 idk, everytime I see her story I just feel so bad for her you know. So I never actually think of her in terms of badass or not. Like losing at your last objective when everything has been going swimmingly so far. Damn, that must have been soul crushing. Can you imagine how that must have felt?
@@jellydamgood yeah I get what you're saying, she didn't win as such but she is definitely seen as martyr for Britons, fighting the invading Romans with what little they had, bringing tribes together to try repel them, she was never going to win against a trained, armoured force like the Romans unfortunately
Then they decided to betray their ancestors and adopt roman culture completely forming new romano celtic culture and casting aside the culture of their ancestors. That's not even considering the apartheid and slavery that happened adopted by the romans.
The whole video I was like "last stand of free Celts" is completely wrong and then at 16:29 I was like "finally". Saying the 'last bastion Britian' and stuff like that with only a side mention of Ireland is unfortunately how I see a lot of channels/books tell the story.
I was born in Falkirk between Edinburgh and Glasgow .To this day the remains of this 2 walls still stand . One in the calendar park both been raided for their stones to build bridges . 🏴👍😜🕶️😠
@@ktheterkuceder6825 France was the strongest power in europe after Rome had diminished, the Spanish and Dutch also had navies that made the ones the Romans had to face look small time. They were not easy at all.
@@qzamap3870 Borrowed? No, it was a relic gifted to the company by Moorcock in a relic exchange back in M37. No records of such an exchange exist on Moorcock's side.
Meh, no mentioning of the battle of Mons Graupius. Also forgot in the last episode that continental celts where fighting in phallanx formation and did not stormed like lunatic nudists against roman shield walls. I would recommend the video of Metatron on how the ancient celts fought. Very entertaining video as always, but please more accuracy here and there.
Those are not crosses or Christian, they are Egyptian ankhs that are in no way connected to Christianity. The closest thing would be Coptic Christians who adapted the ankh by changing the oval shape to a round one. But the use of the ankh in this video to represent the spread of Christianity is very odd. A minor detail I suppose, but in terms of symbolism, it appears that Egyptian pagan practices spread across the empire.
'We're facing a horde of ginger maniacs, with wild goats nesting in their huge orange beards, or, to put it another way, 'The Scots', and how does our inspiring leader Hadrian intend to keep out this vast army of lunatics? By building a three foot high wall. A terrifying obstacle. About as frightening as a little rabbit with the word "boo" painted on its nose.' - Centurion Blackaddicus
Dunno about that friend, The Great Wall of China worked most of the time Edit: also just noticed a day later haha, nice name you have there @John Titor I understood that reference
I as a person who doesnt have any connection to celts whatsoever so much liked it. I also wonder. I've noticed that there is generally a typical % of dislikes in any video out there. It fluctuates but below 5% is the usual.
Scoti wasn’t an Irish tribe of pirates. It was the name the Roman’s gave to all the Irish, but initially all the Celts in the British Isles. And, because they settled the name on the Celts of Éirinn, that makes Scotland mean “Land of the Irish,” and of course, Nova Soctia is the New Land of the Irish. 😇
scoti means "pirate" not irish. there was no "irish" or "ireland" back then. you fenians are worse than the blacks always claiming other peoples history
Fantastic episode, although I question the history books at around minute 19:00. The Romans pretty much adopted a lot of the Druidic and pagan traditions into Christianity. Christmas is actually the winter solstice festival, Easter? Ostara in Germanic pagan traditions as well as Celtic. Assimilation at its finest.
Yeah the romans stole a lot of celtic holidays and traditions and now catholics and christians practice those traditions without knowing their true history. And when they are told where it comes from, they see those traditions as "demonic and pagan."
@@XxX-vi9if , yes indeed. The interesting thing is that in the bible, it says not to follow or celebrate any of the traditions or worship any other gods, change of seasons, sun, moon, stars or animals above, on or below the earth. It actually states which feasts any bible believer is supposed to follow, like Passover, the feast of unleavened bread, Shavuot etc.. So what I find interesting is that most Christians, who profess to follow or know the bible are actually contradicting what it says with their actions. They celebrate Christmas thinking that they are celebrating Jesus’ birthday, when in fact it’s the Saturnalia, or the Yuletide. So whether they like to admit it or not, they are definitely doing “demonic and pagan” traditions.
@@xavierapples1405 Except in these holidays they rarely practice the tradition of old or pagan rituals. They are done completely different and celebrate Christian events not pagan. Pagans didn’t light trees nor warped gift nor sung carols.
@@xavierapples1405 Christmas is celebrated differently all over the world if you don’t notice. However the reason why it is celebrated is what draws together. So no I don’t care about the slightest changes in how you celebrate but it’s about what is celebrated.
It's amazing to learn about the ancient and fantastical history of the celts it's always interested me how they are steeped in such a thick fog of fantastical and magical history
