That tiny bit about the Meadowsweet towards the end is so beautiful and poetic. That the flowers someone placed in the grave survived even when the bones of the dead person were almost completely melted away....wow. Maybe that's the power of love.
It's so interesting to see how mobile these ancient people were, and yet it makes sense. If ancient humans didn't tend to be wanderers and explorers, they would have never settled all around the world.
Would you think that the ancestors 23:29 put the animal in the walls .. because of how they would live with animals and if fire was out or not able the warmth of animals heated the homes .. Thus incorporate animal into the building as a way to insure you home will be able to keep you warm ? Perhaps
The animals in the walls to ME seems like they were showing they loved and respected the creatures that allowed them to survive. By incorporating them into the very walls of their homes it kept their spirits close and perhaps gave them protection from evil influences.
"Ice Age Britain" is such a ridiculous statement and concept. Were they flying the Union Jack? Britain didn't exist as a concept yet so they couldn't possibly be that. You are just naming them that now! Ironic, considering you are calling the incompatible newcomers "Britain" as well.
I wonder about the neolithic when human populations were significantly lower why we find populations trying to scratch out a meager existence in hard conditions where there's much more provident lands for cultivating or even hunter gatherer life much further South, and elsewhere in Europe? What or who would push a population to the very edge of a sustainable environment? Maybe that's not the right question, but, it puzzles me why anyone would want to live in such bitter, hard, difficult environment when there's easier living to be had elsewhere, and a substantially lower human population and human distribution to compete with?
People who understand the concept of typological analysis. That's who knows. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's impossible to understand.
@@clydewilson5907 Unless it was found above the ground, then it was dated using the context of the matrix in which it was found.

About 25 minutes in they are talking about a figurine. They keep calling it a "she". Did I miss where they showed how they came to the decision it was female? I have rewatched it several times and no mention of how the wifey part came about. Maybe it is just a human deity carving. Cheers
It was all connected and everyone could just cross the small river... Just look at all the Sunken City's in the North Sea and the genetics. Devide the people so they battle each other and not the rulers who feed of their ignorance.

“They were finally wiped out”. Why do these people think so? It is an easy statement but I’d still like to know why. People have lived in the Arctic for a long time. Southern England doesnt seem to have been covered by the ice sheets. People cope.
They know nothing for sure, but they can't admit that. They might well be our ancestors. They could be a thousand years old instead of 1 million. They are only guessing based on what they see and were taught at school.
The first people who arrived about 1 million years ago were definitely black- Homo erectus. After them homo heidelbergensis arrived about 600 000 years ago, and he was black too. 400 000 years ago some white guys showed up, Neanderthals, but 45 000 years or so ago they were displaced by more black guys- the aurignacians. Aurignacians became gravettians who became solutreans who became magdalenians who then were just known as "western hunter gatherers", and it is believed these were all black people, with remains from 9000 and even 6000 years ago showing DNA indicating they were dark skinned. However, 6000 years ago they start being displaced by near-eastern agriculturalists, who looked middle eastern or Greek. Think Colin Farrell. These people made stonehenge, only to then be invaded by actual white skinned fair haired steppe herders around 4500 years ago, who they mixed with, giving the mixture of phenotypes you see in Britain today. Well... excluding the more recent migrants.
It WASN'T A LADY IT WAS FOR THE SUN GOD ITS RISING AND THEY POINTED IT AT SUN RISE AND SAID A PRAYER THE HEAD IS THE SUN THE BODY IS THE REFLECTION ON THE SEA.
I really loved the end of this episode. Even 3500 years ago we were putting flowers on the graves of our loved ones. A touching moment....
Neanderthals were putting flowers on graves around 65,000 years ago.

Follow the food.
Like today just a lucky microcosm with less tech
I guess even prehistoric people though that the grass would be greener beyond the next horizon.
@@fugithegreat And I’ll bet sometimes it was.

Live insulation
Fact: the first people in Britain arrived at 11:36 am on a Tuesday morning.
and the first ever queue was formed
On the Eurostar
Yes! but what were their names?
They would have come a bit earlier but they waited for the Supersaver discount…
and stated “what’s all this then”
We were joined to what is now Europe by Doggerland before the ice age floods and there was no Britain...
And dogging is celebrated by the British to this day…
And also joined to Ireland

According to the BBC, they arrived on the Windrush (we leave the Empire bit out, its embarrassing).
The front picture looks like a 1970s Watford supporter!! 😅
Funny, it shows that there are 2 comments, yet it seems Im the first!
I really love watching Digging for Britain.
We dropped them of 12.30pm on a Tuesday 😊👽
Todas as escavação são muito importantes pra descobrir as coisas passadas boa sorte 👍👍
Isn't that Keith Richards in the thumbnail? 0:45
Nope, that's his great, great, great, great grandson. 😂
Really good
Remember that the seaside was probably about 500ft below what is is in now. Maybe aquatic archaeology might be quite productive.
Need to send a search party south to see if our welsh brothers still there
I've seen him on the checkouts at portishead today
Immediately moaned about the weather 😂
The angels and saxons were illegal immigrants with swords and attitude.😂😂😂😂😂

The British Isles are a geographical region.
The island is literally named Britain.

Why did people settle on Greenland? Or at the foot of a vulcano?
And yet people live on Sheppey…
I dont know about this video but my grandmother told me that the first Briton was a strong black African queen.
You might be trying to be funny, but the homo erectus' that left these flint tools definitely would have actually been black.
It sounds like your grandmother was suffering from an unknown cognitive issue just like Biden.
It is so annoying on youtube when your comment gets deleted but you still get dumbass notifications about people responding to the comment line.
That would have been us when we came to a new world
I would like to know when the last ones have arrived
I don't think you can tell how old a knapped piece of flint is. One million? Maybe but who knows really.
People who understand the concept of typological analysis. That's who knows.
Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's impossible to understand.
@@ThePawsOfDeception Just because I can't date it doesn't mean this guy knows either. Too much speculation for me. I want facts.

Thumbnail reminds me of uncle Jimmy from Millwall
Dayum, that thumbnail goes hard!
Why do you show a cucumbercabanna from Rwanda on the front?
Us irish cant help but go a roaming we get everywhere lol
I saw two mammoths walking away in the rock art

The Westray Wife was assumed to be female because of the two round markings under the shoulders and the wide hips.
They have no idea when.
Do those divers get to keep some of their finds
🤔 The "beaver-like rodent" looks like a muskrat to me.
Who else is related to Cheddar man? 😏
They haven't discovered Gouda Dude yet, put that will happen one day I'm sure...
I am fully blue veined myself, have to look in my DNA
There are probably millions of us.
Scots, Irish and welsh think it was the big tough celts (the Anglo Saxons whooped them) but turns out celts were from Austria and came late on 😂
When did tea arrive?
Hominin is the most accurate term. I think Human is passe...............
They're still here, try a visit to deepest Wales.
According to the UN there are no indigenous British. You should edit this video to reflect that
People were deeply spiritual back then but is there any evidence that they could have just been toys (the figurines)
It was all connected and everyone could just cross the small river... Just look at all the Sunken City's in the North Sea and the genetics. Devide the people so they battle each other and not the rulers who feed of their ignorance.
Im betting they came across the channel on a dingy and got put up in a swanky hotel at cost to the taxpayer or something like that 😂
😁😁😁😁😁👵🇦🇺
... Before being sent, rather confusingly, to Rwanda....
That’s what Jesus said to do!

sorry your life turned out to be such a disappointment for you, responses you provoke here may assuage your loneliness?
Not all that wander are lost?
perhaps...but those who are lost do wander...
@@knowledgeseeker-yy1ix 😂😂😂 Okay .. you got me there.
@ lol
At one point Britain was connected to the mainland. They could have just walked.
That first pic ? You back to crowmagnon
How do you find pollen
how do you know they where the first?.
Rubbish. The first Britons did not arrive. They were stone age wanderers cut off by the receding ice.
That thumbnail definitely looks like a Scotsman.
WE WUZ KANGS AND SHIET
25:00 Way too much speculation on the effigy and the "closure" of a site. Sounds like a very weak attempt to link a "ritual".
We are NOT a small island has islands go we Great Britain is the eighth largest on planet Earth
Sorry
We are not humans
❤
lol love it
Woke up one day. And though f. How did scotland end up with border with africa
Is our Welsh brothers still down there
Bullshit history
They wuz Kang’s from Africa!🤔
Its not the first people that im botherd about its the latest ones.
They came from Nigeria, built formidable stone circles. And promptly disappeared from historical records.
Crikies they haven’t changed much

Because the oldest people were human, but not modern human (homo sapiens). They are nit our ancestors.
Dogger land hwy
Ho hummmmm zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Britain NOT a small island. You are a liar.
They were black apparently, i read it in a book somewhere. They built stonehenge too
