Neil Oliver - Robin Hood's Cave and the Mysterious Ancient Drawings - Podcast episode 3 

I'm un jabbed. Have an open mind. Approaching 60 and love this content. Brilliant and thought provoking.

I am a huge fan of Neil Oliver. I am so happy he is unjabbed and defending our right to remain just that. Love ya Neil!

Neil as a un jabbed person thankyou for being a voice for us all none of these MPS never there for us so thanks mate you have kept me going after my step mum had a mayor stroke because of this jab been really hard for my dad hes around her bed 24 hours a day x

Neil you are an amazing storyteller. I listen to your podcasts to unwind at the end of a long day. Your voice is soothing and you bring such life, feeling and humanity to the history that you retell with such passion. Thank you for being a voice of peace and beauty in a world of chaos.

It's so good to watch the story of the British during our swansong, it adds poignancy to it.

You've got such a beautifully soothing voice. Thank you for this. Great delivery, as always. ✌🇨🇦

This is the most worthwhile channel on RU-vid! Sending much love from the US!

Really enjoyed that. I live 4 miles from creswell, and used to live just up the road in south yorkshire. Now we had a cave in North Anston called Dead Man's Cave. There was a passageway at the back, now sealed with a gate, with miles of underground tunnels, that I heard, went all the way to Creswell crags?? They found prehistoric as well as Roman signs of occupation, and the cave, being called Dead Man's cave has legends of haunting, and sounds, well quite a sacred and magical site. Don't know how true the legends of these underground tunnels are, but I think there is more to explore down there, and in the local area.

Neil your documentaries are the best

The best story teller who makes history come alive.....Neil Oliver you rock!!!!

What a wonderful programme...........I can feel my a ancestors by just listening and watching...........I’ve had a dream a few times where I’m in a cave with other people. The cave had a narrow opening and I can FEEL myself and the others pushing branches and logs into and across the opening with our feet......we had to close the entrance at night time because of dangerous animals during the night.........I don’t tell many people about this.....I’ve been laughed at a few times too many...........but it’s so deep in my being.

Simply fantastic. What a storyteller!!!! Thx a lot

Yes!! Peaceful, educational, enlightening. Marvelous sir.

Had no idea who Neil Oliver was before 2021 but because of his lion hearted defense of humanity during covid, will not soon forget him and became enamored of his content due to the shared loves of history, geography and the metaphysical. Thanks Neil, from a Canadian freedom lover with massive roots across the British Isles.

I've love to see Neil Oliver sit down for a podcast/chat with David Starkey.

Brilliant idea Neil to up-load these absorbing episodes to provide a sense of reflection of exactly the real insignificance of man on the wonderful "mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam".

Simply inspiring ...thank you

I'm so glad that I have just found your channel, I really enjoy watching 👍

Brilliant Neil. 👌You are the best 🙏

I think that bone is one of my most favorite artifacts ever found so far! 😊

Thank you. I have been watching your programmes for years. Follow you on the news too.

Neil, can't put into words how beautiful your videos, and stories, and philosophy are. The feelings and thoughts that you bring forward are powerful. So artistically and professionally done too. Thank you. from a great grannie in Montana, USA.

Loving the pictures accompanying the podcasts

I appreciate your emphasis on "they were just people like us." How different and more productive my education could have been had it not been shackled by the belief that we are superior to those who preceeded us. Interestingly enough, it was theology, not history or archaeology, which helped me to appreciate the position you advocate.

Being born and bred in Nottingham I visited Cresswell numerous times and the Crags are indeed spectacular and haunting.

It takes sucha huge mental leap these days but neil guides us expediently to recognise our connectedness and thats very valuable and an undervalued skill of what i want to call a yogi, we need to ground ourselves and without an omnipotent idol that is the monotheistic god can be its very important for yogi's to transport our minds elsewhere and nourish our need for higher pupose which can and should be satiated with a feeling of connectedness with our past our future and most importantly with each other here and now, we are all brothers and sisters

you got my company and my support, i joined you on patreon for your history of scotland series, the best in history documentary that i know of!

Dear Mr Neil, I am enjoying listening to your love letters so very much. Thank you for sharing.

It's a true marvel the way in which Neil is able to give life to those who lived and passed millennia ago. Fascinating.

Thank you Neil, respect for your info, bravery, and taking responsibility for others in the wars of today. Really learnt, what those words sung meant. When will we see, your lights (likes) again. We will rise again....

I have often wondered if the little horse was engraved on the piece of rib was either done as a toy for a tot to play with.... a galloping horse in a race with others. Or perhaps the piece of rib was from the horse and he was engraved on it as an act of remembrance to a valued friend. Wouldn't it be lovely to find out she sighs and goes back to her dreaming and speculation ❤️

Every single time I listen to Neil Oliver, I learn something. Very few people have that voice which makes you listen, Neil Oliver and David Attenborough are two of those people.

Certainly I have listened to you but it was political & current events. So how did I miss this series? Your immense knowledge of history & archaeology. My heritage is Irish & British and I really love what I am watching. It’s that sense of mystery, the unknown, the history of our world we know so little about. Your narration and the love of your country create spellbinding stories. Thank you for this gift. There is a reason the British Isles stays on my bucket list. This is a much needed escape from the world today. The summer heat in Florida.

Thank you Neil Oliver for this podcast on the History of the British Isles Adrienne and Dave Roberts

1st class series...EVERY episode 1 to 65 👍🏽 Thank you Neil & Team.

Canadian from BC Okanagan here happy you are here with us anytime we choose, and exposing the mandate oppressors & their bull...Neil you are inspiring & a leader for truth & justice. Much love to you & yours from across the pond. and loving Hamish McIvor shows for serious cultural fun & mysteries of psychic & country folk kind! Healing the heart, imagining better, more soulfulness & people power not govt not corporate criminals.

First Neil, its my greatest achievement....

Neil....ever tried to confirm site of where King Arthur is buried??

Thankyou - Ive listened to the first 3 episodes this afternoon and don’t really have time to start number 4, but I will anyway. This is very very wonderful.

Thank you Prof Oliver. Neanderthals primarily hunters, following herds, our ancestors where technically more evolved as culture due to fishing developing along side spears nets and river craft and teaching building so our ancestors built albiet seasonal small family villages and probably began some kind of farming including knowing food grows from last years toilets. its is most likely why we grew in numbers ie cooperation equals organisation and safety in numbers.. We may look at Australian aboriginals to some degree and have some idea how neanderthals may have lived.and how they are affected by more technically advanced cultures. i can explain why some cultures did not become bankers and some did.

At 6.40, Cresswell crags...looks like an unfinished Mt rushmore facade. Beautiful, thanks Neil and Paul . Love this series 😃

Prob the 3rd or 4th time I’ve listened thru this particular episode and it still remains my favorite, around 35 minutes in Neil you describe the Hunter (?) crawling into the cave “on his tummy” with a torch (animal fat taper?) and scratching out marks no one will ever see, in the dark, but for whose eyes? What purpose? This small section is so wonderfully presented, so beautifully expressed it remains the most touching commentary you’ve done, perhaps an open ended one and perhaps more resolved issues will come (as I know from future episodes) but this choice rumination by you is still the one I think of as classic Neil Oliver, and I’m intensely grateful you and Paul share this with us 😘

Supreme storyteller. I’m a fan

Thank you, Neil. Love these!!

Nice when he sticks to real history.

These are a stunning set of podcasts Neil, and presented with heart and soul.. ps.. loving the whale etching on the mantel in the background..

Well done!

In the Halldor Laxness novel Independent People a conversation remarks how clever these prehistoric people must have been to discover and create so much without any prior teachings or written knowledge, it opened my mind to what history really is.

Great, thoughtful content, thank you! One thing though, don't you think that for 25,000 years later, for us to still have 3% Neanderthal DNA, that there must have been a LOT of interbreeding between our species? Especially when our population has grown to such huge numbers, to be 'watered down' so to speak? My feeling is it was probably more assimilation than anything.

I read somewhere that the rock surface was kind of like a screen to another reality and that those works in the deepest recesses were ways of communicating with the beings or presence on the other side of the screen. Reminds me of matter and anti matter.

Sometimes it's as if 1000 years was added to our timeline...

I use to watch you on coast and have just stumbled across this RU-vid page, great stuff Neil from a great man Thanks

wonderful

@38mins in tears...

I love you wonderful informative videos, your beautiful relaxing voice & your cute dog we keep getting a glimpse of in the background.

Instant sub, I can't wait for more.

Wow, I'm enjoying this podcast Neil! Thank you. I have followed you since your Coast series and your common sense monologues concerning the insanity of the current times. When you speak of our species of Human being, where do Aboriginal people fit in this please Neil? Thank you to all involved in this superb work. 👏

I am not a Darwin fan but your description of the hunter gatherer hunting and making clothes in a good way makes me think of the Inuits. Images of their traditional clothing show an impressive amount of sophistication. Considering the bridge between Alaska and Europe, there is an awesome thought that when the continent broke away some of the hunter gatherers carried on in the same way until the 19th century while the other part of the human community in Europe gradually began to develop in a different way because of the changes brought on by climate change. The harsh conditions in the arctic circle may have meant that survival of the species came above war and bloodshed. Sadly not on the other side of the gap. Even in the Scandinavian world and in Russia and Scotland itself life has been hard until recently because of the cruel subzero temperatures. Despite its huge size Russia like Alaska is sparsely populated but because of the gradual development of transport in various forms and closeness to their neighbours the Scandinavian and European neighbours were better able to establish trade and transport links which made the availability of goods and ideas aide the development of ideas and services which allowed these nations to live a more comfortable life. But of course, war, pestilence and disease travelled along the same road. Wouldn't it be a good idea to draw images of cave dwellers living in the early stages of the holocene era dressed more like the Inuit and not wearing the loincloth more appropriate to the Tropical areas. 🤔🙂

Could the paintings been a "school" where the elders taught younger hunters where and how to bring down the animals ?

You have a beautiful family 💙 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good ol Neil.

Scientific evidence throws a wee spanner in some of the rubbish we've been led to believe

What do you think to Wilson and Blackett?

When you doing Tartaria and the plane wide impossible architecture? What's that? Never

I wonder if that etched horse rib held sentimental value? 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Its more incredible looking to the past and appreciate the capabilities of humans without machines and only basic tools. It shows an ability modern life has mostly discarded in the name of progress. It makes progress appear like a loose description.

Hi Neil, Love your work, was wondering if you have ever read Comyns Beaumont "Riddle of prehistoric Britain" "Britain key to world history" and finally "The Great Deception" I would greatly recommend them if you never have.. keep up your good work.

Neil! Have you ever researched Lewes in East Sussex? There’s some absolutely astonishing history there. I seem unable to get the story out there effectively. If you ever want to learn of one of the greatest lost places of history, it’s Lewes. Please contact me if you want to know anything about it.

These are amazing!

I prefer the term pure blood to unjabbed which is too much of a similarity to unclean which we were referred to as. Loving the series. Watched one or two of the later ones but decided to go back to start at No. 1, haha.

I really appreciate that Neil did not insult the intelligence of these ancient people.

likely they found the little pointy mushrooms and had a fire in a cave...

I think there’s definitely more than one species of human alive today

I wonder what the uniform lines are on the horse etching?

A very interesting & educational video as always Neil. The fact that every other human variant has become extinct makes me wonder when it’s our turn. I fear with all our intelligence, we will be the cause of our own destruction, hopefully the world will survive.

CLOTHIER makes me feel old

G'lad thanks.

I think you should look at the sort of dates all these cave paintings were discovered, as many dont seem to have been found until the 1800's, rather strange don't you think!

Patreon: done. It's the least I can do.

I'm fascinated by how our future in tens of thousands of years from now could once again be all about people simply surviving an ice age that hasn't happened yet.

Neil. Thank you for your good work. Just curious, what part of the UK are you from? Greetings to you from an old grandmother in Montana, USA.

I love these podcasts. However, the background music is very distracting. Is there a solid reason for this music ?

I would love to know how 'Australian' Homo Sapiens survived the last ice age 'Down Under'. The estimates of their habitation of Australia vary from 40 - 60 K years. They are the ultimate survivors, who lived in a wide range of habitats- from hot tropical to snowy mountains.

Neil, at what period or even periods did language start from grunts to words?

African development explained compared with Northern hemisphere. on my channel graham thomas I am an evolutionist with life long engagement with this subject. always love your work.

I'm confused by your stance on the c0v1d BS which I agree with you completely on , but as a historian which you clearly are how you are completely believing in the history which we are told and taught and not questioning what is aparently our true history which is hidden from us but now coming to light , now I'm no historian but even I can see most of what we have been taught is complete and utter fiction .

I do believe I can see the neanderthal features in many humans now. I see that as a good thing. Something down to earth in that, to balance the intellect of sapiens.

Maybe they left in the dark a time capsule for later people's.

Living in China for about 20 years. There are about 30 million people living in caves and some are used as schools for teaching children. I wonder if the cave art found in Europe was used as teaching material?

I’m ashamed to say I live about 4miles from Creswell crags and have never visited it. I’ve delivered to the visitor centre. Ps I’ve also avoided the government injectable. 👍🏻

Message two,,,after all no cooperation is possible without mutual understanding through words?

Did you know about the apparition of Our lady (blessed virgin Mary) appeared to a lady in wallsingham 1061 which was approved by the church... She tells her to build a replica of the little house where she had the visitation of the Angel Gabrial.. But the shrine was destroyed by Henry 8th (tyrant) God bless! Christ is king! .

jings! l've way more than 4%- judging by thon yorick picture..!

You can imagine in the future we will see robot and man combined added to the chart of evolution, before they take over!🤖😱😆

😇

I don't bye it Neil regarding the evolution of Humans. We should not have Apes in present day, as they as well should have evolved. I believe in God who created all that is.

some finds and drawings are 45 000 years old

It's all about the beef. They new a good hamburger 🍔when they tasted one! Jus sayin.

a wonderful vid. i am so impressed by our stone age art. all my life i was told britain didnt have any. and now that true to life pony..

I want him to be interviewed by Russell Brand, Joe Rogan...
