- The site of Glastonbury Abbey is one of the important ancient #heritage sites in the UK.
A focus for many people who value the spiritual and historical resonances of the place, it is best known for its legendary reputation as the burial place of King Arthur and as the earliest Christian foundation in Britain, allegedly founded by Joseph of Arimathea, the great-uncle of Christ, in AD 63.
A team of AHRC-funded researchers, led by Professor Roberta Gilchrist of Reading University, has re-evaluated the history of #GlastonburyAbbey and its environs and disentangled the rich but not always accurate myth from historical reality.
Among the findings are: fresh evidence to confirm that the abbey site was indeed occupied in the 5th or 6th century, before the foundation of the Saxon monastery; identification of an early timber building with large post pits associated with fragments of imported Roman amphorae, dated c AD 450-550 and often associated with very high status secular (ie royal) settlement; analysis of glass and metal fragments suggesting that the glass-working furnaces at #Glastonbury represent the earliest evidence for significant glass production in Saxon England; and a great deal more.
The project has worked closely with local groups and the general public and outreach activities have been crucial to its work and its findings.
This film examines the new evidence unearthed by the project and how researchers have worked with the Abbey Museum, conservators and the public to explore the history of this rich and extraordinary site.

Wonderful. Thank You. 🕊🙏
Incredibly fascinating place and investigation.. awesome
I had something very special happen at the Abby. At this point I'll just keep it with a few friends. I'm not famous enough to be believed! The Truth!
Wonderful.
I worked With Dr John Allan back in 1976 on a dig at St Katherine’s priory Exeter.
a great place to wander around and discover so many places, the Tor, the abbey, the ancient high street etc but the white spring well and temple are my favourite place to just sit and absorb the atmosphere, Glastonbury sits on the biggest intersection of leylines in the UK and it this I think that has attracted so many people over the years, they are drawn to the area without realising why, when I first visited the area it wasn't as commercialised as it is now, I suppose the hippy's of yesteryear turned into today's yuppies.
Glastonbury is not "serene" at all, it's exactly the opposite-hectic. More people go there than just about anywhere else in England. I know this because I lived there for 4 years.
Excellent! This archeological work is very interesting.
Fascinating work - thank you!
A legend about Jesus tells us - Mary watched HIM, as a child, bullied for being illegitimate. She sent HIM with her Uncle, Joseph of Arimethea. When taken to Britain, HE studied with Druids.
Upon their departure, Jesus blessed Britain, making way for an Empire. The Rose of Glastonbury
I heard the same but vatican hides his early life
He seemed to have visited with members of all the Earth's religions.
@@historysmysteriesunveiled8043 this is what the hidden facts from vatican people say
Utter nonsense.
❤

Zero info on prehistoric information, hmm .....
Director....lets try it again with the hard hat on

started off interesting, but in the end, I dont feel like I learned anything
So helpful...thanks
Check out censored historians, Alan Wilson and Baram Blacketts many decades of deep and authentic research into original documents and inscriptions, mostly (only mostly) revealed in their numerous books. A very different story of Christ, J of A, Glastonbury, King Arthur and much more. Also, take a gander at Britain's Hidden History on this platform and their website. The Glastonbury tales , if W&B are correct, were a very successful shell game, a money-making and land-grab weez.
Tinfoil hat gibberish.
Fabulous ❣
academia needs to inject more joy into knowledge!
This is not about knowledge. It’s about protecting the ‘scientism’ mindset. Reason and imagination are the great gifts of the mind. Our education system has done a fine job of narrowing our minds perverting reason and reducing our imagination. ‘Imagination doesn’t breed insanity, what does breed insanity is reason! Poets do not go mad but chess players do’. - G.K. Chesterton
Of course it's about knowledge. People are just wedded to their pet/faith-based beliefs. Roberta's study is all about evidence. You can choose to believe whatever you want but archaeology works with evidence@@kerriepaterson
Wasn’t those monks that was killed by vikings and had all their gold stolen then began the first English society?
🤔
You are speaking of the monestary on the East shoreline
The issue is modern Druidry has arrived out of 'Pop culture.' Where are the first records of actual 'Druidry ' religious uses of Stonehendge? "Neolithic" and so on are just periods of how we understand time. Is it not more likely that Stonehendge was built by Brythonic tribes? ..Many of the festivals celebrated there are not English in origin. Anglo-rename and modernist in approach. Modern Drudiry is a melting pot of many ancient Celt and modern cultures taken out of context as I believe . Misinterpreted ideas have caused issues with authenticity. A much more authentic experience could be had in Wales or Ireland... It is my idea that Glastonbury and Stonehendge have been reinvented for modern Druid weekend tourists.
steel ball run.
I grew up in Glastonbury. It's incredible. I have written a novel which is available on Amazon. See rofse.com for information?
King Arthur was a bad man. During his time he was called the " Boar of Cornwall "
Christ was there.
A legend about Jesus tells us - Mary watched HIM, as a child, bullied for being illegitimate. She sent HIM with her Uncle, Joseph of Arimethea. When taken to Britain, HE studied with Druids.

It seems so.
Glastonbury Tor is EXPERIENCE-this nothing else matters for wrld.England sleeping on archeobyrocracy&turism,manymanymany.. Holy Gral and king Arthur.
Saxon= Son's of Isaac
Sax = short sword. The word meaning to cut.
Well, this was only barely, very marginally interesting video with a _completely_ meaningless title! I was interested to be informed about the results of the archeological excavations as they inform the myths and legends of the Abbey....but, NO!! Did the post docs and docs sit around over tea to figure out how they were going to completely hoodwink interested folks? Well, I don’t take kindly to being hoodwinked by ANYBODY, so POO! on them!M
an arrogant archaeologist who cannot think outside of her scientific training. need to get men back in charge of archaeology and excavations, they would dispense of all the fluff. this skepticism is non-scientific but belief-orientated. She wouldn't know the actual history because that information has been lost. all they are providing is their own personal subjective ideas and they have not really done anything
