Hi love the site and your vids BUT I would caution against the use of superlatives e.g. 'the finest' (beauty is in the eye of the beholder). While its hard to beat for example the sublime composition Bryn Cader Faner finds itself it within (between mountain and seascape), it is perhaps not as impressive a ring cairn as Carn Llechart near Pontardawe. I also note that your travels in Wales are largely dedicated to the national parks and the more traditionally scenic/tourist friendly areas. Could I suggest you also take in lesser known sites in the post-industrial South East - places like the above and Hen Dre'r Mynydd (old settlement on the mountain) in the Rhondda.

We don't know what the BBC left on the cutting room floor. It is true that in the 2021 documentary Parker Pearson was excited and believed he had found a stone circle which contributed bluestones to Stonehenge. Note however that his confidence did not replace his reliance on science; and he foresaw several more years of excavating and scientific testing before he could confirm his theory. Unfortunately in 2022 scientific testing came back which disproved his theory! On 1st August 2022 he published an article in Antiquity magazine stating: "In the light of Bevins et al.’s (2022) new analysis, which reveals that the stones at Waun Mawn have no geological match to the 43 surviving Bluestones at Stonehenge, it may be that none of Waun Mawn’s stones ever reached the Wessex monument." He did however have answers refuting Darvill's other criticisms (published in the same issue), including an important date which Darvill later conceded was off by 500 years. Please also note that this project was still a success in other ways, providing much new information including the discovery of two quarries which were proven to be the sources of some of Stonehenge's stones. Parker Pearson's article, co-signed by 14 other archaeologists and scientists, can be found here: discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10161300/2/Parker%20Pearson_How%20Waun%20Mawn%20stone%20circle%20was%20designed%20and%20built%2C%20and%20when%20the%20Bluestones%20arrived%20at%20Stonehenge_AAM.pdf

Really fresh feel to this one guys, love the new style ❤

One that always gets me is West Kennet Long Barrow with the window in the roof!I haven't been to many Welsh Neolithic/Bronze Age sites.

I was there a few times this summer, on a megalith tour of the island. The electromagnetic frequencies in the dolmen were very low, much less than the longer standing stones/dolmens on Anglesey. It's such a shame how badly these monuments have been treated over the years. Who knows what information they could have thrown up if they had been intact.

Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoyed the video! What other legendary places should we visit?..

Thanks for watching.. If you have any ideas of interesting places you think we should visit, feel free to let us know! We've recently created a website where we'll be cataloguing our research on sites we visit.. As well as sites around the world. Check it out :) thathistorycouple.co.uk/ You can also find extra content and videos over on our Patreon www.patreon.com/c/CoralJackz

i'm inclined to say 'so what', because it was also created by the sheer stupidity of men. if you make something you have the right to destroy it. my problem with men [and women and children] is they destroy stuff that does not belong to them.

ASgreed. Usual Story

That banjo music sounds a lot like Bela Fleck. You guys ever go down to Cornwall? Sure are a lot of cool sites down there that would make excellent videos

Excellent info, thanks. Caro

What did you use for the canopy?

Take this was during it opening season (1995/96). PS: I *do* wonder what became since of a lot of this! Noel and the Beeb back then *sure had* some ambition, just didn't last.

He might need a little fix up sometime. Although if he is in rough shape like that then hes been well loved

Thanks man

Lucky dog!!

Well done guys Alice Robert's wants to change all our history dont let her do a number on Stonehenge

There’s no way I would return the Mermaid to the sea! 😊 Great clip, thanks for the information

Fabulous!

Hello jac very impressed hard to" Swallow" how interesting you are miss your laugh all the best for the new year Bryan

Great documantary! Well presented research i look forward to part 2,

9:01 Is the Bell Fruit Noddy Airplane Kiddie Ride if you wanted the name of it :)

This is from 1999 not 1998

YES Thank you so much I wanted to watch a video of this place for years

Parker Pearson has a bit of a closed shop thing going on ..the chosen one of archeology in Britain ..he has access and funds that others dont have ...and his theories are presented and promoted as how it happened ! not entirely his fault that he is part of the stonehenge is a cash cow generation ......... the pitiful BBC sensationalism programme was more like a national geographic drama ..a full dramatic speculation session given to a few things that may or may not be real or have anything to do with anything

Mike Parker Pearson is still looking for his stone circle and has been digging for the last two years near Crosswell. I'm not sure if he has published anything. It would be really interesting to get your take on that.

Really enjoyed - a great video. I would love you to do more like this.

After 30 years making similar series for Discovery Channel and National Geographic there is one thing I can say for sure… extraordinary claims don’t require extraordinary evidence.

A few years ago a colleague and I visited this site as part of a broader landscape survey in support of a dissertation regarding a proposed disarticulated assemblage nearby. The cup-marks share an "alignment" (for want of a better word) with a worked notch on the underside of the capstone, perhaps speaking to some unknown astronomical observation lost to precession ( interestingly and speculatively the tips of ranging poles placed in the "cups" describe an arc across the sky ). The area does have a liminal quality and is associated with water nearby as is the case with many such structures. A note, signed by the architect would have been helpful, but alas there is none, so anyone's guess is as good as another.

WHAT WERE THEY USED FOR?

quality video, da iawn

I love stories of the Afanc, I grew up near Betws-y-Coed which has it's own version, about a mile south of Betws there's the beaver pool (which is just a wide section of the Conwy River) where the Afanc was said to have lived and built dams to stop the river flowing down into Betws, the road bridge is called the Beaver bridge too and is at the start of the short path down the famous Fairy Glen (like the Afanc, one of several in the area!) , the use of a fair maiden and chains is exactly the same, but in this variant the Afanc was dragged up Snowdon and thrown into the bottomless lake (I love how folk tales add features like this!) Glaslyn where it's said to still live to this day, that's the version my Dad scared me with as a child anyway, and he loved to embellish!

Nice work guys. Have been to Banc Llwydloes and Bedd yr Afanc but wasn't aware of Penanty Isaf at all!. One to visit on our next potter around the Preselis. :)

Another great vid ..when I'm done visiting Cornish sites I'm gonna head up to Wales ❤

Lovely storytelling!

So much still unknown! Nice decoration on the tomb. In honor of the afanc I presume. I hope you’ll fly your drone on all these locations that are supposed to be here.

Thanks!

Maen llia would be a good one.

🥰

0.30 LOL

On a Friday? Come on🎉

Wonderful stuff, I used to frighten my sister with tales of the Afanc!

Brilliant job CoralJackz...well done. Very interesting presentation 👍

Stonehenge is a construction of a burial mound of some noble leader of the Bronze Age. Structures of the same design have been found in many mounds of Eurasia. Unlike the British one, these interior structures were made of wood. That's why the Romans didn't report Stonehenge, it was inside a mound that was revered and guarded by local Celts. Then the Romans left, and the Germans, Angles, Jutes, and Saxons came. The Germans excavated and looted the mound, of which only the stones of the internal structure remained. That's the whole riddle, that's the answer to the Stonehenge riddle. Greetings from Russia!

Very well done--a pleasure to watch. It occurs to me that the popular story of a stone being somehow moved by humans so very far, while it is probably incorrect, may help to generate the money that will eventually find the truth.

One of my very favorite philosophers is Montaigne. He had the words "What do I Know?" carved over the mantle in his study. Uncertainty is sometimes uncomfortable and certainly is not as entertaining as a good story, but I detect that this video is presented in the spirit of Montaigne. So I love it. Another philosopher who would, I suspect, agree with this video in Occam. "Entities must not be multiplied beyond need." A glacier picked up the stones and moved them. Simple as that. No first ring needed to make the chronology fit, not traces of a dragging path, no venerable cult of bluestones needed. Lies are long, truth short

Was the Neolithic culture destroyed by the Bronze age people, so that stonehenge was never completed?

Ysbytu means hospital. Eglwys means church.

Hi guys, absolutely love your channel. I live in Bridgend, South Wales and as a lorry driver I have been to many of the places you visit, including Devils Bridge.. sadly however, I never have the time to explore these beautiful and interesting places as I’m always racing against the clock. When I get the time I hope to follow in your footsteps and teach my granddaughter about this wonderful country of ours 😊. Thank you so much for your amazing videos. I hope we see many more 😊

Really well made, per usual. Stunned this channel has gained more subs yet - the algorithm is definitely a scam
