unfortunately, we'll never know. the 1 major kryptonite in archaeology, is the loss of context to past events. as the sword expert noted, we'll never know which type of blade actually used. this is why places like Stonehenge has no clear understanding what it is even for.
Sword + Stonehenge can ONLY mean one identity: the Highlander, Connor McCloud. Stonehenge is like, "holy ground" or something like that. If I'm wrong...than it's not him.... Maybe.
right.....

That's a nice story, but it could also have been a murder. A "friend" attacking the victim from behind while he is sitting down watching the stones. Then burying him so that no one finds the body. Just saying...
Well if they ritually executed the high priest to put a stop to Stonehenge gatherings, they might well have just buried him casually in a shallow grave because they didn't care.

Claudia Cane. So you think Stonehenge is a weird place to visit? The Inquisition installed by the church caused the death of hunderds of thousands innocent people, including babies, publicly executed by burning alive in the heart of European cities. There are no notices, here was murdered...etc. Only rarely do local governments reinstate the honors of those killed.
@@caneclaudia During the Neolithic the foundations were laid for our own civilisation. And if it is true that all dolmens across Europe are oriented to the Midwinter sunrise then this was far from an isolated phenomenon. Sadly the enforced introduction of Abrahamism destroyed hunderds of thousands megalithic monuments and did not bring peace. Instead, serfdom was created and bishops were warlords who committed genocide and wars between the adherents of catholic or protestant institutionalised religions. The guitar is a Fernandez. I haven't played for awhile, the neighbours are not that much open minded.
“I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.”
At 24:45, we hear how dated this documentary is, for all of the talk about DNA and carbon dating. The narrator spends a bit of time telling us about the darkness which descended after the Romans receded, throwing the land into utter darkness and lawlessness, and how the Anglo Saxon invasion brought the light back to Britain, a story which has been well and truly debunked. Of all the aspects of history that I love, I think my favorite is watching how new facts forcibly modify the old entrenched scripts, or dig them up altogether....I think it’s the intellectual flexibility one has to have which interests me the most!

To punish him after death they buried him in unconsecrated ground their logic being he would be punished for eternity but instead by burying him where they did they instead gave him eternal life in the history of Britain
No date is given for this documentary, but the archeology seems to be out of date. Pearson's momentous discoveries at Stonehenge began, what, more than ten years ago? -- but the regular use of Stonehenge as a cemetery isn't mentioned. Modern techniques for determining the history of bones, where the person grew up, where they lived their lives, don't appear to be known at the time this documentary was made either. If you're interested in Stonehenge it's well worth your while to check UA-cam for more recent films. There are at least two of them.
Why do they Always assume that when the romans left Britain took a dive into the “dark ages”, like we forgot how to talk and trade and live... 😑😂 the ancients tribes would have gained so many different and modern ways and technology from the romans. Life would have been amazing. No oppression and left behind life advancements and such..
Its not an assumption, the timeline just coincides with the dark ages - a time of extreme religious regression which impacted much of the western world. As far as England is concerned, you guys weren't nearly British by that point, plenty more crossbreeding invaders owned the islands before the first Kings of England started.
@@TeamJY little I disagree with, but I perhaps have missed your point.. some people at that time began to adhere to religious belief? Which would only reenforce an order of some kind to their community further showing advancement or enlightenment. Maybe it should be called the Light-ages. 🤷🏼♂️🤣
@@aaronbailey7909 it depends on your religious standing I guess. the academics, historians and sociologists are the ones who named this period as the dark ages. Dark ages as a term can represent 2 major things, firstly a time of regression for civilisation, and secondly the primitive stages of enlightenment (eg the dark ages of medicine was the primitive period in the development of medicine).
okay, I'm no genius but are they saying that the ONLY 1 man was buried around stone henge was a local bad guy??? I would consider it an honor to be the only person buried in a significant, historical, place.
The best bit was watching the osteo archaeologists and regular archaeologists trying to work out how the victim was killed. Short soft men & women trying to figure how you even swing a sword, then disregarding that the attacker might have been a taller soldier and the victim a short soft academic.. and not figuring the mans head might've been laid on a stump or stone before execution (to extend the vertebrae in the neck for effective impact - historically prominent method btw). It was like watching primary school students working on a project they had no idea of.
I think it's obvious who that body belongs to... The founder of Stonehenge, Mister Stonehenge. Kinda like the way Apple, maker of the iPhone & Mac, was named after its famous founder, Mr. Apple...or how John is the owner of John's Auto Care.

It is puzzling that they thought there were only the two swords in common use. The Leaf Blade and the Fenix were both in common use at the. The Maximus Espana Gladius was a sword that was pretty much on the way out, during the period they are talking about. IMHO ;-)

Quite troubling that the archeologist didnt know how tall the individual would have been. Not exactly very intensive forensic examinations. Even if she were acting for the camera it makes no sense to diminish your credibility deliberately.
Oh for crying out loud....she SAID very clearly that they could get a better estimate but that what she was giving was off the top of her head. Given she was going off the femur, she was probably right that he was shorter than her.
Forgot to get the timestamp....was that lady with the bone in the hood just pretending to do sthing with that tool or can she just wave that thing and get some result?
@@defunctuserchannel that's what they were talking about so I figured that much. I didn't notice the hose tho. I thought they used core samples and not so much the pulverized tiny bits. But that might be the point of the hood? Idk.

Yep, not only _can_ we, measuring the skull to determine race is usually the first or second exam modern forensic investigators at a police lab perform when a skeleton is found.
Ok here’s your heads up! Stonehenge was a yearly travel spot where people saught wives, traded livestock and partied! That guy that got killed was in a business deal with another individual he was murdered because another individual wanted the same deal, so he and his buddies got rid of the competition so to speak! I can’t recall if it was a thing of weaponry or food storage, possibly a potential marriage contract. Anyway his confidence in his superior product and it was so superior that it impressed the one he wanted the contract with, his murder was of great loss due to the fact his methods went with him to the grave. A great loss to all mankind, it truly angered the rich fellow!
Regarding the Celts who rebelled against the Romans, you guys left out the fiercest & most successful warriors. Queen Boudica, the leader of the Iceni tribe of Celts took on the Romans in 60 AD. In Celtic culture women weren't men's property, they were equal to men, often they were warriors. So when her husband the King died, she had the nerve to assert herself as the ruler of the Iceni people & their land. Queen Boudica was 'put in her place' by being stripped & her back lashed, & her daughters, the princesses, were raped by Roman soldiers! Outraged, Queen Boudica, her daughters & her people gathered other local tribes to fight against the Romans. They met a Roman legion in combat & won a total victory. How could a Celtic army led by a 'wild, red-haired' woman defeat the well seasoned soldiers of a Roman legion? Initially the leader of the Roman legions laughed in disbelief. That is until Boudica's army defeated the entirety of the Roman legion that was protecting a Roman outpost, 'Londinium' - later London - & burnt it to the ground! Needless to say, Queen Boudica & her Celtic warriors were now taken very seriously. In their 3rd battle with the Romans Queen Boudica, her daughters & most of the Celts were slaughtered.
My great grandmother spoke of Stonehenge beheadings and of the religious significance! We are the Robinson Clan from the Isle of skye. She spoke of 7 years ley time and that the heads were removed and taken to a religious center on the Isle of sky and was adored with jewels and pearls and gold! It was placed up into a cave later after a religious procession.Thats what she kept telling me when I was a young women!
Fascinating! But my gawd the adverts!! One or two ads before the video starts. One at the beginning by the channel's narrator. At least 8 or 9 throughout the hour. There are far, far, far more interruptions than I can watch. You're just getting into it and an advert pops up. Another less than 5 minutes later. It's impossible to stay "in the story" because of the constant interruptions. This is my first visit and although this looks amazing, the adverts are too frequent and all concentration is lost. It's too bad. This channel looks just great~(adverts have ruined YT, just like everything else they touch) ~but I won't be back. *sigh*
Imagine all of these people so possessed with discovering exactly how this man died... are actually all the people who were at the original scene, reincarnated. I believe this happens. Some twist of karma has us fixated on events that make no logical sense to the lives we live now.
Who does these edits? From about 15:30 - 17:37 NOTHING! And 36:33 - 38:35. Dead air & space. This is the 2nd time in different shows this happens. And not just once, it’s at least twice which poor editing causes loss of interest in watching these poorly edited episodes. And that’s really too bad.
Then don’t watch it genius some of us enjoy history and like watching these kinds of documentaries if your not one of those people then kick rock in socks for blocks. Go watch the crackdashians or whatever garbage you watch.

@@defunctuserchannel starts at 19:08
@@defunctuserchannel that's what they were talking about so I figured that much. I didn't notice the hose tho. I thought they used core samples and not so much the pulverized tiny bits. But that might be the point of the hood? Idk.
After doing my dna I am related to some of the people buried in stonehenge.
How did you come to know this? I'm pretty sure that, even if they did sequence their DNA, they didn't publish it to ancestry websites
@@alaric49 it's on my true ancestry. They always take dna when they do archeological dig's.
Repetition, repetition, repetition!
They really overdo the execution scene, to absolute boredom.
no subtitling=thumbs down/////am deaf
I hate it when people don't provide subtitles. I'm not deaf, but I do like having the subtitles so I can watch without waking my son up when he's sleeping.
Its probably Waldo thts why nobody can find him
timeline deletes comments that prove stonehenge is fake LOL with well documented 1920's black and white videos showing it being built
@@ryang6397 so ur agreeing its waldo?
@@ryang6397 yes they do saw film of it being built
🤣😂😆
Lots of speculation going on here, but interesting none the less.
If this man was such a criminal he deserved what he got.
Wonderful program.
I have a crush on the presenter but thats not entirely why i enjoyed it. 🤭Yank.
Who's here in 2020? The mysterious man was murdered by Alan Greenspan. He has a time machine.
Very good show, but this video of it was badly edited, gaps are far far too long. Looks like the Advert breaks were left in, so I assume this is a broadcast copy.
I didn't know Daffy duck's wife was on here
You can still determine race through skull type. What do you mean discredited??? Lie!
I think they meant that they have learned more about it since the 1920’s and that is why the classification is wrong now, hence it being discredited.
@Sun Flower You live in a fantasy.
Yep, not only _can_ we, measuring the skull to determine race is usually the first or second exam modern forensic investigators at a police lab perform when a skeleton is found.
Stonehenge is used as a some kinda clock or something
I shared.
Just because
Why the stupidly misleading title? 1400 years is not 3000!
It’s not working
not 3000 years old.misleading.
If your analysis is correct,
he died as a criminal. Sad 😔
Ok here’s your heads up! Stonehenge was a yearly travel spot where people saught wives, traded livestock and partied! That guy that got killed was in a business deal with another individual he was murdered because another individual wanted the same deal, so he and his buddies got rid of the competition so to speak! I can’t recall if it was a thing of weaponry or food storage, possibly a potential marriage contract. Anyway his confidence in his superior product and it was so superior that it impressed the one he wanted the contract with, his murder was of great loss due to the fact his methods went with him to the grave. A great loss to all mankind, it truly angered the rich fellow!
Why even write this?
@@aaronbailey7909 That’s exactly what I want to know. Utterly pointless and not witty.
Wooowwww🔥
Bad editing with those long gaps between the three parts.
Steel swords go much further back than thought here. 600BC, and earlier.
That would be neat, since steel wasn't created until around 400bc in India.
Really wild !! I love learning about history especially weird / mysterious stuff !!!!
Regarding the Celts who rebelled against the Romans, you guys left out the fiercest & most successful warriors. Queen Boudica, the leader of the Iceni tribe of Celts took on the Romans in 60 AD. In Celtic culture women weren't men's property, they were equal to men, often they were warriors. So when her husband the King died, she had the nerve to assert herself as the ruler of the Iceni people & their land. Queen Boudica was 'put in her place' by being stripped & her back lashed, & her daughters, the princesses, were raped by Roman soldiers!
Outraged, Queen Boudica, her daughters & her people gathered other local tribes to fight against the Romans. They met a Roman legion in combat & won a total victory. How could a Celtic army led by a 'wild, red-haired' woman defeat the well seasoned soldiers of a Roman legion?
Initially the leader of the Roman legions laughed in disbelief. That is until Boudica's army defeated the entirety of the Roman legion that was protecting a Roman outpost, 'Londinium' - later London - & burnt it to the ground!
Needless to say, Queen Boudica & her Celtic warriors were now taken very seriously. In their 3rd battle with the Romans Queen Boudica, her daughters & most of the Celts were slaughtered.
My great grandmother spoke of Stonehenge beheadings and of the religious significance! We are the Robinson Clan from the Isle of skye. She spoke of 7 years ley time and that the heads were removed and taken to a religious center on the Isle of sky and was adored with jewels and pearls and gold! It was placed up into a cave later after a religious procession.Thats what she kept telling me when I was a young women!
That's amazing. All my elders are gone.
Well obviously he fell off a ladder, backwards and landed neck first on an open tin of peaches. FFS don't leave your lunch laying around!
Fascinating! But my gawd the adverts!!
One or two ads before the video starts.
One at the beginning by the channel's narrator.
At least 8 or 9 throughout the hour.
There are far, far, far more interruptions than I can watch. You're just getting into it and an advert pops up. Another less than 5 minutes later.
It's impossible to stay "in the story" because of the constant interruptions.
This is my first visit and although this looks amazing, the adverts are too frequent and all concentration is lost. It's too bad. This channel looks just great~(adverts have ruined YT, just like everything else they touch) ~but I won't be back. *sigh*
What adverts, didn't see a single one. You need to get an ad blocker.
@@specialed6357
I've tried a few and none of them work on YT.
Do you have a suggestion?

I enjoy Brian Forester much more ... not fantasy

Imagine all of these people so possessed with discovering exactly how this man died... are actually all the people who were at the original scene, reincarnated.
I believe this happens. Some twist of karma has us fixated on events that make no logical sense to the lives we live now.
Who does these edits? From about 15:30 - 17:37 NOTHING! And 36:33 - 38:35. Dead air & space. This is the 2nd time in different shows this happens. And not just once, it’s at least twice which poor editing causes loss of interest in watching these poorly edited episodes. And that’s really too bad.
Unwatchable ads
They should have left that person in thier resting place.it was prob Merlin!
Liam neeson
Pure speculation, they should be ashamed.
Android frame to sale
Rome knew how to keep the hooligans in line!
So boring. Constantly repeating scenes and dialogue, trying to fill an hour up with what could be said concisely within ten minutes.
Then don’t watch it genius some of us enjoy history and like watching these kinds of documentaries if your not one of those people then kick rock in socks for blocks. Go watch the crackdashians or whatever garbage you watch.
Can live without the phony battle scenes.
