Interesting. From what I've read about ancestry in the UK......we've all basically lived here far longer than what we were taught in school. In otherwords you are correct. Probably we're also related to the basques.

Well done. Very interesting.
Fascinating indeed, thank you
Always wanted to know more about the picts....
We're still here.
Good to find information on the Picts. I have a large percentage of Scots heritage. Seems a lot of info on the Picts seems to be negative.
Roman propaganda.

You were adopted.
Yes, Brythonic speakers aswell.
It's estimated that the closest language today that resembled Pictish is Welsh.

lol i just need this for school
How you make a documentary about the Picts and not even tell us how they got their name?

Picts, Celts, Scots, Vikings what a mixture no wonder the Romans departed back to England
I don't think Vikings were around during the time of the Western Roman Empire, though I could be wrong. I think you may have meant Germanic Tribes.
That was"state education" woeful!
The Picts still exist, we haven’t died out.
Were the Picts early Danish Vikings as Bede says ?
Very unlikely. They were more likely Brythonic Celts
@@jamesmckay-mount8689 There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that says otherwise, although the Vikings could have been later.
@@buidseach the evidence shows that they are more likely from the Iberian peninsula. They were in Scotland a long time before the Vikings.

Proven today
No such thing as Celtic blood and they don't know who the Picts were so how can you possibly say that it's been proven?

Nothing to do with picts
That is why they find runes writting
That is greek like in scandinavia
Nothing to do with them
