The most erudite and yet eccentric Julian Cope, love him! I also bought his book The Modern Antiquarian, brilliant stuff! Gundestrup is also my favorite artifact from history...
I didn't know Julian Cope. I heard about him on an italian radio show last week. This man must be on my same frequency. I like everything he does. He even wrote a book about Krautrock (you can see a Neu! t-shirt under his jacket).
keith-lee castle Of course Cope won't get his own program - he babbles nonsensical acid based gibberish with little to no historical knowledge. And - this is a big one - he's bereft of wit or tongue in cheek humour. The less said about his sartorial style and general appearance the better. That said, he's a very decent chap.
Julian Cope was my gateway drug into archaeology. 20years later, countless digs, finds, locations, cultural horizons, inter-disciplinary collaborations & (i gotta say this) ruined knees later, life is so much sweeter for it. Diolch yn fawr iawn, Arch-Drude.
This is brilliant, cope has always been out there, maybe it's time to bring him in and make a proper historical account of the celts. Julian, brilliant stuff mate.
+65sparx - If you have not please checked out "The Modern Antiquarian: A Pre-Millennial Odyssey Through Megalithic Britain" - I highly recommend it. Julian did a nice job in documenting interesting aspects about the culture.
0:59 Julian gets it wrong, yes the Scots lived in Northern Ireland at the time but Scotland itself was ruled by the Picts, the Scots that came over from Ireland were interbreed with the dominant Picts, who then took the name Scots and called the country Scotland.
But who were the Picts? Cultural, genetic, regional? Chronologies - Romano-British, Iron-Age, Bronze-Age or even older? Not judging, as an archaeologist their traditional territories could be interpreted within the broader "Celtic" world. Imho, it's a linguistic hiccup tag, just as much as "Celtic" is.
Please visit ergoth.com I have important information about the Gundestrup Cauldron: hint: those are not 4 horses but 2 horses and 2 unicorns. Lucas Cranach the Elder says hi. clang clang.
We have been an evolving, but single culture. The multiculutursim that has been enforced against those who can call themselves native, is the end of us. Literally.
Who made the cauldron? Where was it made? What purpose did it serve? Why did it end up carefully disassembled and stacked in pieces in a Danish peatbog? None of these things are known because none of its historical context was recorded by its culture... because the recording of history was not a facet of the culture that created it... it was from a place where recorded history was not yet being generated.... it was PREHISTORIC.
His mum was my primary teacher, she was extremely inspiring and an amazing teacher. Seems Julian has inherited her gifts..
That's pretty cool. Does Julian favor his mother in looks as well?
Wow!
@sophie W He spent his childhood in Tamworth, Staffordshire. North-east of Birmingham.
Same here. Florendine. She brought him in one day.

@@hyena131 That's how he wants you to perceive him.
You don't get Cope.
Give him his own channel.
Extremely knowledgeable wise man. The Modern Antiquarian.
Julian's lovely, would like to hear him give a talk in Liverpool

So I suppose razors were only available in the Mediterranean world? No one in northern Europe had ever thought of a way to get rid of their whiskers?
The Gundestrup Cauldron depicts the antediluvian survivors of the worldwide flood. It has 4 men and 4 women which is Noah, his 3 sons and their wives.
Personal interpretation.... others are also available.
Could you tranlate in Latin?

Oh dear. Suits the guardian though.
