The ancient Celtic Carnyx. 

Same here.

That. Yes.

Copied

Same

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth... De même

I don’t like black people

If I was a Roman Soldier hearing that in the forest, that would be a genuine "Fuck this, I'm out" moment.

i had to listen 10 times to get rid of some of that fear and even after that, it still lingers a bit...

You nailed it with primal fear.

It doesn't invoke primal fear in me, but eerie curiosity.

They right next second they shat in their pants or prepared for brutal battle while hearing the barbaric war cries of the enemy

@@poseidon3292 dont forget they conquered all the places they went to

@@yermanoh Of course they did Historically yes but don't forget I was talking about a feeling that every legionaire especially auxiliary and new recruits might had when they were hearing this haunting mysterious dark sound and the barbarian hordes war cries through the mist.. I never said or left a message they just shat in their pants and stayed freezed.. No they some of them pass through this but their centurions encouraged them and the more expert brothers in arms to fight who ever appears no matter was barbaric hordes or traitors of rome or phalanx or elephants or chariots with long spears or traitors of Rome itself. Roma Aeterna brother

@@poseidon3292 nice paragraph...have a good one

"maximus... that sound came froma our side"

Yes this is not something I'd expect of festival attendees

Random creeks was a good accidental touch. Feels like the soldiers were slowly creeping up their way to the enemy camp

They are probably conceding in fear and respect for what they are hearing.

They are all sitting there to watch a performance and also all look to be older than 40. I dont understand how acting like your supposed to for a performance like this is some kind of virtue. It's not like the guy is shredding the guitar and amping up the crowd like it's a rock concert.

And all the sound effects

Fr! I was super impressed with this video and tried to look up more Celtic Carnyx videos but was disappointed because everyone else played it like some army boot camp music bullshit... so cheers to the instrument player for playing it this way

I feel like this is probably the way it was played more so than the marching band-y way it’s played in other videos.

This really is the only way it should be played

It sounds so cool. Reminds me a lot of a Shankh

​@@LtCdrXanderreminds me of didge in certain areas

I would thoroughly shit my tunic.

People act like those in the past are silly for being religious, it's like if you hear this in a foreign land that you know nothing of; you'd be praying to any God that will hear you for protection. And believing demons are real in a heartbeat.

It's literally game of thrones. It's the actual The Wall. They're the real life Free Folk. GRR Martin's whole thing is amping up real history.

@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoatexcept real history was still far more ridiculous and unbelievable. GRR Martin’s work’s don’t hold a candle to the average 10 year span in ancient Rome.

@@thebigenchilada678 As a writer I can tell you there's a good explanation for this. If our stories were as crazy as real life, nobody would believe us.

I would shit my subligaculum.

They were gnarly people too. I think at some point in Boudica's rebellion several people are uhh.... de-skinned... can't remember if the Romans did it or the Celts. But none of them were particularly gentle.

Imagine opening the comments to a RU-vid clip, and seeing the same comment being made for years and years... what a time to be alive.

Mars give me strength

Halfway around the known world? It's next to Italy.

Yeah that must have been quite something 😳

@Thiago Andrade and when the first legionaries fall dead the centurions shout to lift the shileds and form the testudo. The soldiers are now into the darkness of their formation, trying to see from the gaps what is coming against them. They sweat and pant, praying their gods in terror, but all they can see is mist, grass, the faint shades of trees, while all of a sudden the valley around them echoes of war cryes and the clash of metal on metal.

They it starts raining rocks, then the biggest dogs you've ever seen are eating you. Not great.

the draugrs have come to play 😈

Gods speed to the lost legion….

I'm a composer: someone give me some money and I'll absolutely do that (oh cheeky plug I'm doing something similar in Manchester in November!!)

*F*QUACK** YOU, THAT WOULD BE A SPOOK-FEST TO SCARY FOR EVERYONE

This is why I want to make excess money

Add some drums in there too

Just Download the audio and lay the Same audio 10x with some space between the Timeline for the realism and you have it

Picts would bevthe preferred description of those from Kingdom of Fib northwards on east coast.

@@Sagalands The Picts came a little later. The Carnyx they found at Deskford was around AD 80 to 250, Picts were around in 685 until they were pushed out by rival tribes and viking invasions

@@imarkgw They were still picts! 70AD first excursions by Romans. Im in Kingdom of Fib, 3 slabs not 200 yards from me! Venicones was tribe in area. The Vacomagi, Taexali were up that way! Antoninus Pius died on 7 March AD 161 and shortly after, around AD 165, the Antonine Wall was abandoned. The term picti was used to describe in late third century. Vipoig was the king of picts around 300ad

Celts still live there today.

Serious question, why do some of you Scott's, Irish, Brits believe in the bible when it came from the middle east? If I were an Irishman I wouldn't be a catholic or a protestant

Oh it is absolutely beautiful

If you go on Wikipedia for carnyx you will see an adio clip This is not how it actually sounds. The clip on wiki is a reconstruction from an irish musician who made a original carnyx.

Me too. Its a sounds thats almost feels like i'm trying to remember something. And no fear just real curiosity to why this sounds so beautifull.

To Celts, this is beautiful.

@@WjfhdhShshshshyes but isn’t that this actual carnyx?

Oh man, I really thought and wrote the same thing

If I were a roman soldier, back in the day I would shit my pants...My skirt, or whatever I had to wear.

Yep, except I’m not looking for trouble. But I get the gist. Hearing guns go off around you but you can’t pinpoint where. You just know the gunshots are getting closer. I’d say that’s just as terrifying. Especially when you live in a city/town full of gang violence

Lol Romans=mobile fortress of invincible juggernaut warriors vs these posers playing with flutes. Yea I don't think they would min this crap.

@@bikerboy3k, it's amazing how many Romans are living in England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, and the rest of the Celtic regions right now. 😏

lots of people don't understand these were used to relay messages and direct the battle

@@toomanyaccounts also fear, right ?

@@SpringNotes there was a psy ops role but they had multiple l uses for the celts. they were used in their rituals hence why they destroyed them rather then let them fall into the hands of others

Yeah, because *everyone knows* that cars and planes existing affects how far sound can travel! RU-vid generation negative IQ!

It sounds like a monstrous elk call (I am not a hunter I am just vaguely familiar with animal calls)

Genetic library in action. From my toes to my neck my hair stood up.

I feel uneasy and like a warlord listening to it. My blood is too mixed to make up its mind.

its probably hard wired into our DNA

Are you descended from the Romans? Cuz it’s probably a racial memory 🤣

Agreed!

You should hear the sound of hella Aztec death whistles going. It’s kinda like heavy rain on the ocean, except each raindrop is a scream and they come in waves

@@bayarea_pyro4159 true brother. Really bone chilling like scream of a tortured soul!

Not sadness, but glory, prowess & beauty in the art of combat. To have lived when my brothers & sisters crushed enemies to these melodies coursing through my body, what a rush

@@SpearOfLughh this is how I feel. The sound amps me up. Feels like I'm ready to defend my people

most modern brass instruments have comparable ranges

Bassoon

Uhh, pretty much any brass instrument?

​@@podomuss yeah but a bassoon never made a roman soldier shit his trousers

@@lpadron13 speak for yourself

yes, very Britain was magical once, now it's the blandest of the bland haha

YES thats the feeling.

It's "daresay" and you're definitely misunderstanding the meaning of "apocalypse" because you want to LARP as someone who is more intelligent than you actually are.

@@r0br33r Pot, meet kettle.

@@r0br33rCalm down

​@@r0br33rYou're a turd human 💩 😂

The eerie timbre of the horn, with that supernatural wailing sound

I have come to the same conclusion

can you record it? wanna hear that so baaaddd

Maybe thats why they wore tunics

Except that the romans utterly thrashed the celts and Gauls. Like it wasn’t even close. Caesar and his legions alone utterly smashed them when they were completely outnumbered. The romans had nothing to fear.

@@spiderknight9893 nah ceaser almost lost at the battle of alesia, and the celtic tribes only became united at the end of the war, the Roman's had a hard time with the celts

Except if you’re a Roam legionnaire, then it’s death for the people playing them

@@quartzking3997 They formed the legions because of the celts

@@ThillerKillerX yeah and then they whooped their arses lol

Not really. The romans never wanted to cross the rhine because they were way to afraid of the barbaric hordes. They got their asses beat way too often over there

@@quartzking3997 There we still Celtic kingdoms when Rome fell, son.

Bro think he was there

Or a ten hour version!!

Dont fuck with the pagans is all i can say 😂

Any SoundCloud ?

Just like bagpipes, the carnyx creates what is actually considered scientifically as a very human sound. Fun fact, it's why most anthropologists believe that if humans ever reach a Dune-like spacefaring civilization (or just one in general), bagpipes will still be in use, unchanged for all those years.

Do you have something I can listen? You made me curious

Good point, we’re used to these warbles and drones, but back then it would have utterly alien.

Pretty sure it’s used in GoT at some point by Djwadi

Good on the man, he always makes banger music@@mrbyrne96

Gladiator, Centurion, and Brave apparently feature this instrument. I’m gonna have to watch those again and pay attention.

It sounds like the music at the end of hereditary. Every single hair on my neck was up on ends towards the back of this video

I don't have to imagine it...I feel it.

My husband jokes "if you want me to go off and die in battle for something play the bagpipes" and man if this isn't the exact same stirring

I’m sorry but this comment is just so cringeworthy lol

​@@quartzking3997not really, youre just a bundle of sticks mate.

@@quartzking3997nahh, it’s the truth

cringeworthy? what are you, 12??

its time to stop commenting

I challenge you to sit through some heavy shelling in a modern conventional war if you think ancient warfare is scary. At least back then you could see what the people trying to kill you, and if you couldn't see them then they probably couldn't see you. If you've ever studied WW1 history you'll know the effects of prolonged shelling aren't even limited to just a horrible death, you may live to see a fate far worse than death. Whether it's because your mind will be broken, or because the wounds you sustained end up getting infected by the filth in the trenches, or by what they call ''wet shrapnel'' (I will leave it up to you to guess what that is) is almost irrelevant. I'll leave you with a quote from a French soldier in Verdun: ''When you hear the whistling in the distance your entire body preventively crunches together to prepare for the enormous explosions. Every new explosion is a new attack, a new fatigue, a new affliction. Even nerves of the hardest of steel, are not capable of dealing with this kind of pressure. The moment comes when the blood rushes to your head, the fever burns inside your body and the nerves, numbed with tiredness, are not capable of reacting to anything anymore. It is as if you are tied to a pole and threatened by a man with a hammer. First the hammer is swung backwards in order to hit hard, then it is swung forwards, only missing your scull by an inch, into the splintering pole. In the end you just surrender. Even the strength to guard yourself from splinters now fails you. There is even hardly enough strength left to pray to God'' This is by far one of the least graphic descriptions I've come across, but I find it gets the point across rather well doesn't it?

and then you kill them 20-1 because you're a trained legionary who sticks to his training and obeys orders.

​@@SuperUltraMegaMikethis is the fifth comment saying the same thing and I am pretty sure there are plenty more.

"you’re ambushed by thousands of naked men with axes and swords. Ancient warfare was the stuff of my most primal nightmares." Sounds more like a fever dream than anything historical.

Infrasound.

I know the first nations people of australia can induce trances using just the didgeridoo. I found a few of the notes produced by the carnyx had similarities to the didgeridoo which makes sense seeing as they are both wind instruments just differing materials and shape

Can u share it? Plz

I must have Celtic ancestors cuz this shit turns me on.

I have ancestry from both, and I find this both beautiful*and* terrifying. Go figure.

Same…

nah your ancestors probably from those barbaric germanic tribes.

Did no one in these comments take history in school? The Romans completely wiped out the Celts in continental Europe

Ha. Odin will be proud.

@@NinjaSushi2 This is a Celtic instrument

Then at some point you remember that these numpties fight naked and you're battle clad with appropriate armour, better formations, tactics and better supply lines, intel and probably healthier and better fed. phew...you breath a sigh of relief.

Probably made the army feel powerful and godly

10,000BC type sound

@@RunitBackBoys much more recent than that buddy

Literally the opening scene of The Northman

They are almost none Carnyx's that are Original and the ones self-made are more Buyable , but you can Forge one

I think they are tall so you can poke it though their bedroom window at 2am.

@@theq-1 I love this concept 😂 I think it would definitely evoke the desired effect.

Imagine being a roman soldier. Standig in a formation. And then you hear this sound out of 12 or more of these horns, blasting a absolutely terrifying sound. And then you get attacked by Celts comming out of wafts of mist.

@@ismaelmerk7042 imagine being my neighbours, its 4am everything Is silent and you are asleep suddenly you hear what sounds like godzilla and its so loud it's shaking your house and you are awakening with the taste of adrenaline on your tongue, in a blind panic you run to the window to see what is making such an earth shattering sound you pull back the blinds thinking only of what must be the impending doom of man kind only to be greeted at the second storey window by a brass beastile monstrosity of a war horn with the face of a pig crossed with a metal dragon waggling its tongue at you making a unearthly loud ethereal tone.

Just imagine 100 people making the same boring RU-vid comment... now imagine how bored your enemy would be

run as quick as possible

You're overestimating the Celts. The best tactical tricks they were capable off is charging Roman formation uphill, naked, while screaming like barbarians they were.

​​@@tersus4967ol imagine losing to a bunch of naked brutes while you're just so superior and then building a wall to make sure none of your dumbass generals try to invade those barbarians again 😂 tough

​@@tersus4967ok Ceasar

Lol

I'd love you too, I think that would be an awesome way to wake up before going off to our mundane jobs in drab grey broken britain =D

Note that these are not the ancient estimates, but the modern ones. The ancient ones were 10 legions (legions have inconsistent numbers so could be anywhere from 30 to 60 thousand) vs a relief force of a quarter million (+ the army inside the city)
