- The Bush Barrow Chieftain was buried close to Stonehenge and is Britain;s richest Bronze Age burial. This video, shot as part of the British Museum 'World of Stonehenge' Exhibition in 2022, looks at the ceremonial gold objects buried with the Chieftain and tells us about how technologically sophisticated people were some 4,000 years ago. The Chieftain was buried just after 2,000 BC, halfway between the construction of the sarsen circle at Stonehenge and when it was no longer used in around 1,500 BC. He was buried with axes and daggers, strikingly similar to those carved on the sarsen stones of the monument.
I went to see the museum some years ago and it is a FABULOUS collection they have there, for anyone who is interested in ancient British history.
Amazing! This is the first I've heard about this burial.
How are they working with such tiny gold studs without optical magnification?
The amount of accumulated and passed down knowledge involved in those few objects is incredible.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for making this video available.
Thankyou. This is so fascinating. I had no idea there was more in this landscape. Stonehenge and Avebury always take the spotlight. Very nicely presented, too.
this is certainly a wonderful way to inform and encourage the public to seek your museum
Fascinating...
Stonehenge is fabulous. Thank you for this video
Thank you very much for this short but very exciting and educational presentation of Britain's great history! Once again it becomes clear how complex and interconnected the society of our ancestors must have been! Very nicely presented and explained!
Wonderful, thank you.
Absolutely fantastic display. It certainly is on my list to see if I ever am lucky enough to come and see the area. After seeing this short video I think I would have to double the length of my stay in the area. Cheers from Canada
Many thanks from Brooklyn, USA. Love your content on YT.
Thank you!
I am definitely going to visit you, fascinating finds, so well presented.
This is a wonderful glimpse into the history of the area. Thank you for sharing this with us ⚘
Thank you that is very interesting.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Lovely to see the old stuff.. how would anyone imagine that the items were to go with him into the next life? When clearly they are still here in the real physical world.. they may have buried them with the body because of the importance of the connection between master and tools.. each to their own.. 😊❤
Wow, are there any reconstructions of what the dagger would have looked like?
Was the excavation published with illustrations? Was it a stone cist burial or an inhumation? Was the gold cast or beaten into plates?
So you separated him from his gold..
Just like Britney spears ... made in a Britney military base 😉👍
No matter how long it's been it's still grave robbing and desecration.
They had to make room for a Jewish owned Starbucks
No, it's research.
Unless you want people to live in ignorance of the past and history and their forefathers.
Also, the man and his accomplishments, legacy and wealth are better appreciated now than at any time in the last 4000 years.
I doubt he would have any objection to being venerated in a museum as opposed to his grave being dug up by rabbits.
Someone else would have robbed it. At least he had it for 4 millennials. Now we know his story.
@@excession3076 justifications for grave robbing is still grave robbing....
His DNA is from Ceredigion!
How do you know.What is the evidence for your statement?
