that opening shot with the music is a million dollars shot for sure!
+took closely fantastic music by Gary Lammin
John, this is your finest work to date, Sir!
+took closely many thanks indeed
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me.
@Shane Azariah instablaster :)
@Clayton Manuel I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Clayton Manuel it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
I loved walking this stretch to see the Bartlow Burial Mounds. I like the church nearby which had close links with the RAF.
Enjoyable stuff. I liked Gary's cap.
This is an excellent tour guide.
an experience of stunning proportions
Thank you
What a fascinating video! Super interesting, listening to Dave and learning so much of our ancient history. It's another winner!
Very interesting, so much history .Your friends Dave and Gary add a special touch to the listin
they're a great combination George - Gary is playing in Leytonstone on Sat 30th November which should be a treat
Very nicely done piece. I just blundered across this in my feed, very impressed.
thanks Peter - really enjoyed making this video
Hello John,
This was the full package. Sensitive. Enlightening. Relevant. A super learning experience.
And you know some amazing people to boot.
Many thanks,
Carl.
this bears another viewing or two - very nice, cheers
Ahhh you're on my old stomping ground here! This is actually in Cambridgeshire, just right down in the most Southern corner. You guys came in via the visitors entrance lol Locals use the pathway through the church yard that brings you out in the top right hand corner. That's a stunning trail that.
Spent a lot of time down here growing up. Always had an uneasy feeling about the place, especially when out alone. I think this is certainly backed up by Dave here saying about how it could have been an exclusive site. That would certainly explain my uneasy feelings.
Great work as always!
Just discovered you, brilliant work. Thank you so much.
You haven given me so much joy!
My pleasure Tyr, many thanks for watching
i went here on a day walk a while ago, fascinating place and unique history. i live in essex myself. top work John, new subscriber mate, loving the videos. you shed light and highlight beauty in places i've been walking myself mate, underrated places that deserve to be better known walkers paradises! keep up the good work! atb Tom.
+TOM OUTDOORS many thanks indeed Tom - greatly appreciate all the kind words
I can't wait to pay this place a visit. Ive lived in Essex all my life and had no idea of the existence of this place. Thanks for making this video.
what a fascinating video, we will certainly investigate this site. Thank you John.
Cheers guys - I found the conversation as fascinating as the landscape 👍
Fascinating. I never knew this place existed.
The films are of great quality John and top draw interesting. Loving the characters involved 👍🏻
Thanks Tom
It is actually Cambridgeshire ( by about 200 yards) but I wouldn't be suprised if it was once Essex as its the right side of the river. (the border loops around the village away from river).
Three diamond geezers! Fascinating stuff. More please.
You went up another level with this one. I absolutely loved it.
I will definitely be visiting this place very soon. A fantastic video, lots of fascinating information and great visuals. Keep up the good work.
Ooh, I’ve not seen this one John. So glad it popped up in my recommended watching spiel 👍🏼
So interesting!
Fascinating. Not widely publicised. I didn't know it existed. I,m guessing not Roman though.
Absolutely fascinating John.
Back in the 1700's there were teams of men hired to destroy tombs and mounds and hendges. Britian lost quite a bit of her history this way. These days there is more respect for the dead it seems.
Re: Them being better now.
Sort of. Except the so called heritage societies stop and limit archaeologists on almost every dig, making progress [especially on Ancient Britain] almost impossible. Time Team used to bitch about it, if you used to watch that?
It's awful what they did in the 18C though, you're right, we lost A LOT.
Wonderful work as always John. This is all just fascinating! It all reminds me of the sites in Newgrange in Ireland, and the Mississippian burial mounds in the US Midwest. Do your companions have websites or UA-cam channels too?
+Renfro1982 Thanks very much - it was a great trip and really rewarding to make the video. Gary has a website for his band The Bermondsey Joyriders. Dave doesn't have a website but sent me his essay on the Bartlow Hills to publish on my blog thelostbyway.com/2016/05/pyramids-essex-bartlow-hills.html
+John Rogers here's the Bermondsey Joyriders website - a great band www.thebermondseyjoyriders.co.uk/
+John Rogers Indeed they are, thanks!
I believe theirs more mounds that are bigger in the northeast England close to middlesbrough
I'll have to go for a look some time Liam
excellent film!
thanks Jennifer
This is actually fascinating. I like the cinematic style, too 🙂
PS, the candlewax theories tripped me out.
thank you - I put a bit of extra work into this one
Pilgrimage. Thanks so much! I just love your videos. Kerry way up on Lake Superior WI USA
Working through your videos and just reached this one. Fantastic, enigmatic does Dave have anything published John?
Only academic stuff on sociology Danny
Fascinating!
Romans didn't bury in mounds. They buried in catacombs. There might have been Roman catacombs under the few Roman cities in Roman Briton but what happened to them is anyone's guess. Even the great early historian Bede never really touched on the topic.
The guy in the woolly hat certainly knows his stuff. The video asks a lot of questions, I'm sure not many will be answered soon. Anyway, I really enjoyed this.
That taller man is frompt North, Leeds or further west into Lancashire.... I'm intrigued. Thanks. We live amongst barrows in Heysham.
enjoyable and fascinating
Thank you
The Medievals are a very interesting History Period to look at.
But there was of course So Much Suffering in those periods back then!
Crazy I'm going to see this
it's well worth it
Could the mound have been built 2000 BC along with most of the other megaliths in Britain and then later in Roman times became a burial site. Also are they astrologically or astronomically aligned to orian or Cygnus.
+Lone yid those are interesting questions - I'll have to pass on to Dave Binns
Those mounds are nothing like bronze age or iron age constructions. That makes it not likely they date from before Roman. They had alot of exclusive Roman finds, they had a small chamber built in them which barrows do not. It appears strongly that they are an unusual form of roman burial, maybe as suggested they were locals, and they adapted much earlier ideas of burial combining a barrow with a tomb to form these very odd hybrid burials.
The mounds lie on an ancient lay-line stretching from the Great Yarmouth South west taking in ancient megalithic sites such as Hemmel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Wendover, Pangbourne, Wendover, Andover, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Taunton and many others!
I'd love to do a jam at the top of one of these mounds, or in one.
I found you by chance.. Or rather should say.. Luck! I'm as you east ender who's children and Grandchildren moved out into Essex. Love history love walks absolutely loved this video. Thank you. I'm going to mention you on my video when I make..( Of our walks) Cobie & the kids will love it. History & walk.. Can't do better while eating ya jam sarnies😉
Insular celts stopped using barrows and Romans didn't make them so maybe this was a Roman of Germanic or Scythian descent who kept some of his old culture? DNA of the guy would prove a lot
That's an interesting point - worth some further research
Is this not the Trinovanates territory? I’m thinking of Lexden Tumulus, Colchester, Essex...another ancient mound burial site.
The Trinovantes were colluders with the Romans, until they got stabbed in the back and joined with the Iceni to attack the Roman settlements of Colchester - which was raised to the ground under the leadership of Bouddica - then London, and finally they set off to level St. Albans, not long before the Britons’ end.
Terrific history...Slain te'
Brilliant stuff, I've heard of Bartlow Hills before but I didn't know that they were burial mounds!
I do have a bit of theory: There's another mound in Hockley near Southend called Plumberow Mount which when excavated was found not to contain any grave goods at all, but nobody knows why it was built. One of the theories is that its a watchtower or fire beacon.
Is it possible that the bodies that were buried at Bartlow were put in pre-existing mounds? I know the Saxons used to re-use older prehistoric mounds.
There’s over one thousand of these type of mounds in the Philippines,they call it the chocolate hills.
So they have or havent been spectroscoped or whoojamacallit to see what lies inside ?
THE THORNBOROUGH ROMAN MOUNDS NEAR BUCKINGHAM MAY BE BIGGER IN MASS?
They have two hills like this in Basildon, Could they be the same thing?
It's certainly worth looking into
@@JohnRogersWalks Thankyou
Now that's Funny... "Basildon" Lol ...gr8 joke
There is one in Ockendon not as large or tall but its on the map and you can see it beyond farmers field but no access
That’s a grass mound.
any idea if these mounds lie on a ley line??
+Paul Messis that's a good question Paul - I'll ask Dave
That’s a grass mound. Grass and dirt. Mass grave. Not a pyramid. A pyramid is a building.
Since the truth has come out they have been smashing up all heritage buildings in the UK 🤔😡.just think why would native people want to destroy all the heritage buildings and burial grounds ..
Trust me nearly all golf courses in the UK are native burial grounds not Roman
Burial mound my arse. Don't you know Giza Death Star technology when you see it? LOL.
+Highland Fleet Lute Oh look, it's Garry Lammin: Geezer deaf star technology.
+Highland Fleet Lute I wondered where I'd seen it before
Thank you. Maybe ease-up on the music though...
With the advancing tech which can be used to better effect surely the secrets of our forebears will one day be revealed?
We once quite casually walked with our children on Silbury(they're now in their early60s)
Couldn't do so now I guess.
I have a shape of head which I read was indicative of people along the east coast of this island and also of Scythian ancestry.
(Occipital bun and pronounced sutures etc)
Again harder now to find any reading on the topic.
Phrenology frowned upon these days lest we tread on sensitive toes.

The only Anglos who took over this land were Anglo yeddish and Anglo Turks another fact!
They were not Roman they were creàtian the people of creè ,àra'wak indeginous people that why the Anglo judges who were involved in the theft of these lands used hair skinned from àra'wak people head after they were killed fact
I agree with you John (and Lone yid) that it might have been a re-purposed older mound from the same time as the others in England. I am part of a group now looking into the possible use of water lift locks for the building of pyramids. My focus has been more on the simplest approach to enable it to be proven by demonstration; and looking at not just pyramids or Egypt but at other megalithic structures world wide.Some, at least are obviously astronomical structures (Stone Henge) but others might, I think have other purposes. My approach has had the effect that in looking at the entire world wide phenomenom it has led to amazing discoveries and actual definitive physical proof of this theory's validity. Go to James Northcutt or jimbobpyr on youtube to see the theory and for contact info. Have many answers but no skills necessary to promote it as the poor quality video demonstrates.Need help!

They are probably better company than you, I'd imagine.
well, it's taken me 6 years to uncover this - and I'm far from disappointed. very pointy. I like your creative documentarian side as much as your stroll through the woods and eat a sandwich side Johno. @Mboro87007588
