Indeed.
Wouldn’t that be awesome ⁉️ I always try and imagine what people were like when they dig up artifacts and their bodies including the Egyptian people when they enter their tomb’s it’s so fascinating to me knowing that there were other people way before us and they were basically like us in many way’s but also different in their way’s I love this type of history. 😊
@@deborahbaker4770 Oh yes. When Pharaoh Ramses 2 mummy and artifacts were brought on tour to America, I saw him at the Museum of Man, Balboa Park, San Diego, California. I just stood there, thinking, this is the man who Moses contended with. This is the man who refused to let the Hebrew people go, and brought so much trouble to his country. Not just a dried up body; but someone who was a living, thinking soul.
Time machine for me!
@@spacecardinal Even if you had one, getting there is only half the battle. Where you gonna hide it and how you gonna blend in? But at least you might be less likely to get squished or eaten.
It is nearly headless Nick!
😂 I spit my drink across the room
Ha ha ha!!
🤣😂
I was there many years ago. It was winter so there were not many others there yet it felt like there was an enormous crowd. Very odd.
Stonehedge could have been a gathering place where they beheaded people
I watched a documentary, some think Stonehenge was built for Winter Solstice.
Just wanted to let you know; you have a documentary interrupting your ads.
No kidding! I was thinking the same thing. Makes it hard to follow the story when it's interrupted so frequently.

32 minutes in and the poor guy getting beheaded over and over probably 18 times now. I be like he's gonna be haunted af if they don't quit it already...
Meanwhile, why even dig a shallow grave for a wrong doer back then when they'd also put dead bodies up on pikes to serve as examples? Makes no sense.
I only got 28 minutes in until I got sick of seeing all the different theories of his death. 😴
Sure it does. Depends on what crime was committed. Shallow graves, maybe, for manslaughter, but on the pike for an attempted revolt? Just guessing, but not all crimes would require the public statement of the pike.
@@bobbifergus3110I like seeing the process of how archeologists piece together the past from clues and tests. This documentary is more about the process than simply giving their ultimate theories.
I am thinking up on pikes for invaders or outsiders as a warning. Like with Vlad and his forest full of impaled bodies that invaders had to pass through and when they did they changed their mind out of fear. Only difference is Vlad did not care if he knew the impaled person or not and would not care if the community knew them either. I do not think otherwise a community would want to be seeing individuals they personally knew i.e. friends, family, local doctor, teacher etc.. hanging there.
The facial reconstruction looks like the man conducting the investigation.
Well. I'm still waiting to see the 3000 year old man
I have a question. There was a reference made to Sutton Hoo and a guy talked about 39 bodies being found. But I thought there were none because of the acidic conditions. Did he just confuse it for somewhere else?
I would have preferred to be in Pagen ground. They thought they were punishing people by not letting them be buried in the cemetery .I always find it fascinating that when they find a skeleton it could be someones ancestor even mine and I would love to know if they were. I have a lot of Viking ancestors and Anglo Saxon thankfully no Roman so the possibility is there that they find one of my ancestors.
Skeleton is 1,300 years old not 3,000. Great documentary, but I was expecting late neolithic period as the title suggests. Not Angelo Saxon.
Anglo*
Yeah what the heck. Still an interesting show. But not what the title says. I read there are older skeletons found in other burial sites but not this guy
Very interesting path of deduction and science. Wow very fascinating
A 3,000 year old skeleton? So is it safe to say that bones never decompose and go back into the dirt from which they came? That they are forever preserved?
Depends on where it was found and how it was found etc. Nature is amazing, there's not just one factor to consider the reason
The carbon dating put this skeleton to 650 A.D., so I have no idea why the title says 3000 years ago, when really it's less than half that lol.
@@audreymuzingo933exactly what I was thinking.
I would say try a EVP there and see if you could speak to the spirit
could the swordsman been on a horse chasing down the victim?
ABSOLUTELY. It's a wonder that didn't occur to them.
I was thinking the same thing.
I genuinely love hearing smart science people. Using non science words "heavy chop-choppy thing" and "spiny bit"
That’s real iffy on that trial part. We can ASSuME all we want but … iffy.
It’s not Roman times if it’s 3000 years old.
Not even Roman times but 650 A.D. I have no idea why the title says 3000.
Why are they not wearing gloves when handing the skeleton?
If 1300 years in the ground didn't harm it, a few fingerprints won't.
Very interesting
What are those ridges around Stonehenge like some kind of landscape
How did they film this without tourists all around? Stonehenge is usually packed with tourists - lots parked cars. Anyone know?
I think film crews get privileges that the unwashed masses don't.
Most of the time they get a permit to film there and no one else is allowed there while they film
Jackie! 🙂💙
Shades of Tess of the d ' Ubervilles.
Human sacrifice!
That was the time of the druids. And they were sometimes as savage as the Roman’s.
Obsidian sharp cut throat
Hmmm this was a good show when it was released. Aren't they making more episodes or what
I believe this episode is 20 yrs old. The narrator mentioned that the remains were found 80 yrs ago back in 1923. I wonder if it's possible now, considering how far we have come with DNA research, to link this man to a family line using a current DNA family search history? That would be an amazing follow up episode!
I agree. Include a re-internment.
The editors on this documentary need to be fired. The ways scenes are done make me so motion sick I can't even watch it. Too bad.
Possibly dead. This is from about 20 years ago ❤
It sounds like a sacrifice if it was done at Stonehenge.
. . . as though you know what the purpose of Stonehenge was . . .
1:05 "Stonehenge has been built by stone age man", really? Are you kidding me? 😆
I just love how these people paint a picture, that they know nothing about. No one knows what happened, or the reason! Their guess is as good as mine!!
O doubt yours is as educated as theirs
@@jademoon5103 So you believe every word, or theory that comes out of these people's mouths??? I believe that's called being gullible, and easily led. ... Even though past theories have been proven wrong, and they continue to revamp their "educated" speculations. Like how long humans have been in America. Trying to "know for sure" what happened in prehistory is all speculation.
Lol they thought they were condemning him by burying him there and here he got a prime spot. But idk you would figure there would be a lot more bodies if they were throwing the ones they executed there.....
So what?
What is the importance of that? He was beheaded for some reason. Are they going back and prosecute the people?
“Stone age man.” Who understood the stars movement. 😂
Both can be true.
They must have respected him in SOME way, because they buried him outside the stone circle. To have buried him INSIDE the circle would have been blasphemous to his people.
What? Were you there?
How do you know what they believed?
At the time of his death, "his people" were Christians. I imagine he was buried outside it simply because it was easier to dig a hole there.
Not everything has to have meaning! Only sith deal in absolutes
I have seen a video of stone henge being built in the early 19's I believe it was... question everything!
Um... No. There are records of Stonehenge being there as far back as there are records.
And you believe it .... because you saw a video saying it? Um yes, QUESTION EVERYTHING, including conspiracy theory videos. 😆
Why didn't they show what the guy buried really looked like? I watched the whole video for this! Not very impressed at all! Also I didn't care for the flash scenes where images strobe at you.
I agree, instead they used some unknown man to portray him I would much rather have liked to see the real man in details that they used their time on constructing. They always do that so sit are left with okay what did this guy really look like. I think it's one of the most exciting thing in the video
Oh, brother; another benighted "Dark Ages" tale ... the archaeology doesn't support that; neither does real history.
Thank you! I was thinking, "Oh, they're on about the 'Dark Ages' again, how everything fell apart and the indigenous people of Britain were lost without their Roman overlords." And as I typed that, I reached the point where the narrator said that the Christians hoped that burying beheaded people with their heads between their legs would be the ritual that would damn the souls of the beheaded. What rubbish! Those atheists don't know anything about Christian theology. They just pull it out of their nether regions and call it "enlightened reason."
Nothing special! A dead man buried outside his house... because that's what Stonehenge is, just a house!
What makes you think it was just a house?
The Vatican has a lot of Egyptian artifacts & much more. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't have some lost historical records/ artifacts of Stonehenge.
That actually makes a lot of sense 🤔🤔
Simple google search tells how Stonehenge was moved, taken down and rebuilt pretty recently even. How can anything said be trusted here?
Nonsense! And, anyone who thinks Googling something is research has no idea what research is.
I took your challenge and literally couldn't find anything on google that said anything like what you're claiming, so obviously you are just making things up because you're bored or something.
I heard recently that black people were the original inhabitants of Great Britan and that they built Stone Henge trying to blackwash everything and to the point they say they were here in North America with the Native Indian before the Spanish. I'm Scottish mixed with Native Cherokee Indian and neither of my ancestors were African.
