      Love that part to. Plus, all the hammering rhythms and even the bellows whooshing. I saw experimental archeology working on early iron production in Africa, the speed on the bellows they realized they needed for the right heat and the sound their foot made bellows was so reminiscent of the song and dance that followed the experiment, almost as if it would have been natural for the iron workers to sing along.

    The skulls were trophies, and according to some sources certain heads would be preserved in cedar oil so they could be kept and taken out to display for longer periods without rotting. Which just takes the practice to a whole new level of dark.

      ... might not want to study english history... they had a practice ov pickling heads and displaying them on pikes outside market squares.
      the case you mention was to display personal valor and remember a enemy/battle.
      the case I mentioned is to scare the serfs into obeying 'lest this be you'.
      to add to your fear ov mortality... in the wild west times ov 1900s they used to do death mask ov executed prisoners, now days we print photos ov people on their graves.

    This programme non-ceasingly porttrays a very negative view of the Celtic peoples. None of the experts on celts were from their settled communities of Scotland, or Ireland, or Wales, etc. These communities had sagas/stories, made laws, were engaged in farming and commerce, made sophisticated non. military ornaments and utensils, had written words and languages, and had a mythic religious belif system.

    Always depends on who tells the story. According to Rome everyone that fought them were barbarians...same with wars in other places. I think the Folks referred to as Vikings were also called barbarian as were Saxon, Angle and Jute tribes. All depends on perspective. Historically it is listed in the bible as well...Galatia was full of "those barbaric Celts"....LOL!
