Indeed. This is absolutely fascinating. Can someone tell me what language these native women are speaking? Remarkably, I actually understand the occasional word so this must be an excavation in one of the still-primitive parts of England. We are trying to raise funds to mount an expedition to study these fascinating people but the natives are wary of our Australian civilisation and its tendency to colonise. Perhaps Village Headman Starmer might intervene on our behalf. Or even the French Druid Farage.
Outstanding job!!!..…i always enjoy the subject of archeology.....and consider Great Britain one of the most fascinating hostorical places on earth!!....Keep up your outstanding work!!!!
An amazing ancient discovery was unearthed at Repton , a sort of ape like creature , millions of years old , experts think it is a clarksonosaur , originally believed to inhabit the Doncaster area , along side the remains were strange circular objects fashioned from stone , believed to be very early wheels
if you think of the preciousness of these objects and how envious others would have been to get there hands on them, then it makes sense that when they buried them when fleeing they would have told nobody. I imagine they wouldnt have been able to trust almost anyone., this probably explains why they are still there. You wonder how much more would have to be laying still buried somewhere as upheaval and violence was constant and this would have played out often.
I am still waiting for a large search after King Alfred the Great's remains... :O I am certain it can be done with all of the knowledge and technology of today :D
Considering the torq's were not anywhere near a settlement or religious location it is a good bet that the owners were traveling and hid them when they came upon locals in hopes that they could retrieve them once the locals went home.... but the locals still harmed them and so they could not retrieve them. A group of bronze or Iron age hunters would not hesitate to waylay wealthy travelers from parts unknown to take all their stuff, and a group of travelers would not hesitate to hide their most prized possessions upon seeing the hunters on the horizon. Torq's would be a very prized possession indeed. Both ages were violent times.
I'm confused....I thought we always knew Stonehenge was a lived in space? I learnt that in Welsh school?? Also their house looks like a lingham or a NA cornstore, how curious
Viking DNA isn’t in all English people. It’s only contained mostly North Eastern and Highlander Scot. We’ve got Norwegian invasion far back because the ancestors were from Montrose, Angus in Scotland.
I am german but my father was a Brit (RIP) from Hartlepool (Northeast England). I did a DNA test to find out whether i have some Viking dna. But no. Although my surname ends with „by“ which is often Danish like Brondby Copenhagen etc
Interesting, my children have 3 out of 4 Scottish grandparents , my son is from memory about 60% Scandinavia, he has thick black hair dark eyes and olive skin, he looks Portuguese, my side are often Scot’s of the black haired type like some of the Irish are, my elder sister has hair as black as night. I am 63 still dark hair just a touch of grey.
Every Australian schoolchild learns about prison hulks, they weren't written out of history. We get taught that they were a significant part of why Australia was settled.
I find it strange that the tools that are shown are extremely similar to those of the ancient Mayan, which are from the western part of the world. And it ain't no way communication between the two was possible. Would this be almost like an antretype?
I had no idea that Vikings minted coins #15:27. Wow! I knew they had a lust for silver, and that they hacked-up European silver hammered coins and Middle-Eastern dirhams et cetera for smelting down into ingots, but never that there were actual Viking coins per se.
clinker nails go "clink"? Does clinker not refer to a type of boat building where thin planks are fastened to a backbone of keel and stems; a method used used widely in many Nordic countries. No clink, lol
I personally always found it odd that there is so much supposed structures for the dead and nothing about the people who actually lived there. Archeology got it wrong again, much in the same way that most digs are done by students as free labour and the fact that a fully qualified archeologist can earn more as a joiner! Disgraceful
Why did we ever think that areas with megalithic monuments were just religous sites? It has never made any sense, they are always positioned in places perfect for herding and agriculture, they are also clearly associated with status, so if they are in the wilderness who's status do they benefit? Not to mention that train timetables back then were even worse than today, so what's the point of a monument you can't get to? It's one of the most infuriatingly dumb examples of modern misinterpretation of archaeological evidence.
If you can’t afford a cameraman, always send a sound man or get a pro audio-editor. Great otherwise! [Have to add to my comment] the excitement and the giggling and laughter in some of the 1-on-1 interview segments is brilliant; most editors would have taken it out as it looked “unprofessional” but credit yours for realising the human aspect is not only important in archeology but also in its presentation! Well done Sir/Madam! 👌
WTF is this a bot? This is a professional TV production for the BBC and has 4 cameramen and two sound recorders in the credits, and the format is completely normal time-team style stuff.
@@jeffh8803 I wondered if someone posted on the wrong channel. Otherwise it’s a stream of passive-aggressive remarks veiled as advice and compliments. From someone who has an archaic ideal of diggers, “scientists” and scholars as aspiring Mr Cholmondely-Warners. And, as you noticed, they seem unfamiliar with well-worn British styles and formats in archeology programming. (In which the British weather is a character all by itself!)
When I watch this British videos, I am a bit astonished about the we and they. English people are a mixture and that includes beside Celtic and perhaps Roman and others, the Jutes, Angeles, Saxons and Danes or Norse. all of the nearly related Germanic people. Some of the English ancestors fought other English ancestors. From the view of today, there is no them and us, all contributed to the population today.
@@mattg56 That is not what I said. But at the times when Danes raided, settled and conquered in England, there were no English people. If we look today, English people is a conglomerate of ancestors that includes the Danes. So for a person today, calling a fight between Danes and Saxons, as they against us, has an identity problem.
@@mjoelnir1899 I can't agree with that at all. If the people were not English when the Danes raided, then who were they? Who were the "angelcynn"? There was an English identity in the 800s and before. They were not English in the way we are now, but they were more English/Angles than we are now.
@@mattg56 Because they was not an English identity at that time. The Danes at that time were not less English than the Anglo Saxons, if one views it from today. Both were Germanic Invaders, settling in the later England at different times. The ruling classes had been battling about who ruled, but also the ruling classes were already a mix up. Were the Britons English until the Angle Saxon ( a modern name for the groups of Jutes, Angles and Saxons) subdued them? Why were the Danes that settled and ruled the Danelaw less English than the Anglo Saxons? Both hardly describing themselves as English. There was one upheaval left , the Norman invasion, before there was emerging an English identity.
@@mjoelnir1899 So what name would you give to the Germanic peoples living on the island of Britain? Why did Bede write "An Ecclesiastical History of the English People" in AD731? Why did Alfred fight the Danes, and view them as invaders, instead of fellow Germans? Why did Athelstan reconquer the Danelaw to become "Rex Anglorum" in AD927? King of the English? (His words, not mine.) A genetic similarity between the Danes and Angles/Saxons/Jutes is absolutely correct, but your identity is not all about your genetics. It's about your culture and geography. There was an English identity well in place before the Normans came, there must have been, because England was created over 100 years before the Norman conquest.
I love Alice Roberts' voice and professionalism. But too many of these History Hit films suffer from lazy scriptwriting. Charles Dickens wrote about prison ships. including in David Copperfield. They are 'unknown' to most today; but saying they are forgotten is wrong. Then describing them, and then saying they are forgotten again, and again, and again! is insulting the audience. Like I said: it is lazy film making. As is the fact that Women's skulls were shown & discussed in the Repton segment; but no info of their dendrochronology was mentioned. There's a big story here, but History Hit obviously cannot afford to ask anything other than Yes/No questions.
these viking skulls tell us, you dont know your head from your ass, about celtic brithonic history, the vikinks invaded in the 720s and England was created by King Ethelstan in 923 ad, a full 200 years later.
Once me and my friends were out metal detecting and found a good signal,so we dug down and found some giant stone structure,instantly we knew we had found a Jonument a massive shrine to someone called John😂
well the danes came to this island just short of a million yrs ago with a family and all there footprints are prove so ask ray mears its all true all before the end of the 8th century , they make out vikingsto be all violent and myth rapists they were not all like that and there s very little prove of it and vikings didnt write much about themselves so going off pots etc is not 100% correct , im from england but may have viking in my blood i have red hair short tempered , i think they where ace and brave
The UK is not a “small island “. It’s kind of silly to try and pump yourselves up as a scrappy little island with a rich history. As if you aren’t colonial invaders and occupiers worse than any Viking.
@bd12544 you'll never change the human psychie,in an ideal world no one would go anywhere and no one will inflict their will on others unfortunately life is not like that ,it is a dog eat dog world . From the workplace to the next street to the neighbouring state or country,we will find a reason to battle it out ,it is what makes the human species strong . As for the UK the very reason for our strength is because of invasion ,does it make it right ?morally no but can it be stopped ?also no .
@ the world is what you let it be. You choose what to focus on and embrace. Im glad my ancestors left the UK. I can’t imagine living around this useless mindset. I suggest there is nothing natural about dark behavior. That is learned from dark old coggers.
You could lay that on any culture or civilisation at any time. History is a road map of amazing achievements and selfish brutality with countless shades of grey in between. We should be able to marvel at the wonders and learn lessons from our darker times.
Pay respect for the editors and people who put effort in this video.
And people who spend time to find old treasure
Thank you
@@Slimenator np!
Used to have fantastic success metal detecting, found loads of gold and silver jewellery until I got banned from the cemetery
Good idea. How long does it take to get banned typically.
@johnhagemeyer8578 depends how long you keep the gravedigger persuaded with strong drink
That is a grave offence.
Wonderfully produced and presented. This show is amazing!
amazingly good and stunning findings what more can we expect and u do host this very nice Alice. Compliment
Thanks! Love learning. ❤
Such a wonderful video we are so lucky to have such a wonderful rich history

It's a shame we don't know more! The environment is largely inhospitable for conservation unfortunately
It's interesting that reference is made to "our Anglo-Saxon ancestors" when Viking DNA is also found throughout Great Brittain.
Dr Alice Robert's. I'm a huuuge fan!!! I'm always looking for something new.
Outstanding job!!!..…i always enjoy the subject of archeology.....and consider Great Britain one of the most fascinating hostorical places on earth!!....Keep up your outstanding work!!!!
Love Alice. She's a right Star
YES.....Beauty and Brains lol!!!!
I enjoy watching Professor Alice .
We learn so much when we sit and watch ...Happy New year .
This is amazing. Totally rewrites early British history as we've understood it.
Well it dosent totally rewrite it
Dr Alice is a fantastic engaging presentor and a fashion icon ! More please 😉🇨🇦
Is this show going to be on this channel more often?
Fascinating stuff! The Roman temple complex especially is very interesting and unique!
The Viking peg board game was good way to pass away the time while travelling by sea because your pieces will stay in place even in rough seas.
I think it was a game called Mūlle that we played in Denmark, requires good mental skill in 3 D thought
I’ve probably spelt it wrong and it’s not written on the wooden game I brought home to Ireland
Alice is an amazing narrator
Thanks!
Thank you for this!
The thumbnail is great
Viking spankings 😂
oh dear... your red hair is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
100 percent agree....lovely and incredibly learned!!!!
I am full of respect
An amazing ancient discovery was unearthed at Repton , a sort of ape like creature , millions of years old , experts think it is a clarksonosaur , originally believed to inhabit the Doncaster area , along side the remains were strange circular objects fashioned from stone , believed to be very early wheels
looking forward to new series i hope, the bbc needs more like this
if you think of the preciousness of these objects and how envious others would have been to get there hands on them, then it makes sense that when they buried them when fleeing they would have told nobody.

Stonehenge never was. Woodhenge was, though

@@a.g.4843quiet a few English have danish blood or what we call the Low Countries, that’s Holland and Belgium, all the best from the U.K.
Cumbria, too. Villages ending in 'by' or 'thwaite'. Penrith is town with highest concentration of Norwegian Viking DNA in the UK.
Any areas covered by Danelaw will have lots of Norse DNA....so that's literally a third of England.
Have you looked into Anthony Peratt, or the Thunderbolts Project?
Who?
The shows researchers will have
Every Australian schoolchild learns about prison hulks, they weren't written out of history. We get taught that they were a significant part of why Australia was settled.
I think they meant that the *people on board of those ships* were written out of history. No gravestones, no books detailing their fates, nothing.
Yes we know of the Australian floating prisons I think she meant that we are not taught that they were anchored off the UK coast
The thumbnail makes it look like the poor lady is about to be decapitated XD
I find it strange that the tools that are shown are extremely similar to those of the ancient Mayan, which are from the western part of the world. And it ain't no way communication between the two was possible. Would this be almost like an antretype?

How come they touch the artefacts with their bare hands? 😮
I sure the skulls can tell us alot. This video tells me how much I fancy Prof. Roberts.

Hes behind you
I have an observation.
It tells they're dead and that some of them took axes to faces?
For what reason would a group of iron age torkes be an offering, Pray tell.
No Uncle Phil, he’s forte as well
Dig around and find out
Alice Roberts...say no more.
26:04 Osgood is an Anglicised version of an original Viking name 'Osgott'. Os = god, meaning Wodin + Gott - in summary, from Sweden.
bro viking are from NORWAY not sweden

I agree. So many things never fits logic.
bbc bullshit logic: SHRINE, WORSHIP, PRIESTESS, WOMAN WORSHIP, DEMON STATUE absolute disgusting bullshit
almost like an early "druids house or worship alter" .. like a church in the middle.. very sacred.. similar in Ireland? but.. ALL HAIL KING RAGNAR! :D

I think some of the people commenting in this section must come from cat brain, cause that’s about the size of their brain !
