As @yorkshireroamers said, the River Ouse (3:278) is pronounce 'ooze', and I'm surprised you couldn't find 'any significance to the river's name'. It's one of our commonest names for (usually large, slow-flowing) rivers... there are several River Ouses in the east of England, and it is simply derived from the word for 'udso' which meant 'water', just as our other commonest river name, Avon, is derived from the Celtic 'Afon', which simply means 'river'.
Correct. That's why there are several different rivers called "Avon". "Beck" is the old name for a little stream. Purbeck in Dorset was known for lots of pure streams.
Finished my archaeology degree at UoY in August! The city will always be close to my heart, and Nicky Milner's work and feedback on our work is something that our cohort will forever find valuable. So glad you explored York :)
Jacob got to say your looking much healthier these days. Whatever you’re doing the yoga meditating and so on looks like it’s working for ya. Good job bro
I visited York on a driving tour from Germany where I was stationed 24 years ago in October. My family (at the time) and I had the best time there. I am Wiccan; when I went into the York Dungeon (alone, Wife and little step-daughter stayed outside) they gave me the judge's wig and had me "judge the witch." Of course, this was ironic. Once again, of course, I wasn't going to let that witch not burn. "Burn the witch!" We went to the "King's Arms Pub" that night. Two days later, as we were driving West from Newcastle Upon Tyne, a huge storm blew in that ended up flooding us down in Swindon. That storm made the "pub that floods" hit it's highest mark ever. All the sheep that we had walked with at Avebury were culled as we were driving back to Germany; this was due to "mad cow" precautions. Maybe England would be better off if I didn't go back (hahaha)? Cheers.
Ohhh exciting! I'm planning to visit York in June, hopefully it works out! Paer of me was hoping that you would touch on needle crafts, especially nalbinding as there is a stitch native to York. I've become obsessed since working out how to do it xD
Best city in England, visit regularly as it's close to where i live, i don't think the headdresses would have been used as a hunting disguise as a lot of them have very short, or no antlers, so points more to ritual
Great video. I did get an extra chuckle on your pronunciation of the River Ouse. It's pronounced "ooze." Like oozing blood... quite suitable with the Viking history of York. But faciliting seeing the timeline. 😊
It didn’t seem too bad to me, don’t know what that says about me though! 😂 When we went the moving seats thing wasn’t working which meant we walked round with a guide giving a talk. To be honest I preferred that because it meant we could wander a little and take things in. It was all very relaxed.
Shakespeare's King Lear inhabits this misty period of Romano Britonic, where scenes upon the English heath involve characters invoking Apollo, Jove and Fortune. Fascinating and provocative as always, J. Hope you can make it to Kent for a follow-up - there's information I've read in Pollingtons book about Kentish King lists involving figures named Aesc and has notable Woden named landmarks as well, if not one of the largest in England. Aesc/Ass/Æ in old English meaning Ash/Spear and connected to futhark Ansuz, connected to Odin/Woden.
You failed to explain why the poo matters. It told us a lot about what York vikings ate and also about their gut health because it was full of parasites and worms .
That's one of the reasons I moved to Malta almost 7yrs ago, that and the Southern Mediterranean climate ofc! Malta is a fascinating giant rock. I believe Malta and its sister island, Gozo, have the highest concentration of megalithic stone structures in the world (there are around 63, if I'm not mistaken)!
If there is one common thread in English history it's York getting sacked by just about everyone... Not sure you could put a complete history of York in one video as there is too much blood spilling to cover
It’s possible that the River Ouse comes from an old Celtic word for Water The Rivers Usk and Wye come from this word . The original spelling of Usk is Wysg. It is the root word in Whiskey wysg E Water if life.
live near the city one of my fravroite city’s in England along with Durham when I go to York it all ways nice to know that we have deep history said the Ouse wrong to 😆
Interesting vid but you should change the title, as it has nothing to do with the old gods of Britain. The old gods are the pre-Roman Brythonic gods, about which very little is known aside from that they caused enough problems for the Romans to obliterate them.
I second this. The Romans did what the Greeks did and pulled hard parallels with the gods, so much so that people nowadays just say they’re the same god with a different name. Perhaps, but perhaps not. The relationships to the people and their personalities would’ve been very different. So far as I can tell, Taranis would NOT be the “same” as Zeus or Thor, despite the relationship to thunder and lightning.
Nah then Jacob. Glad to see tha got to see ‘towd Yorkshire. Tis God’s own country! ‘As thee ever heard of the Flixton Werewolf or The Hexham heads? Worth a look if thou hasn’t. Regards

Hi there, it's actually called the River Ouse (pronounced as Ooze)
You could also argue that it's really the Yor (Ure) swollen by tributaries. Jorvik = "Town on the Yor" ?
Definitely ooze not wis
When you say River Ooze. Is it pronounced the same way as the teenage mutant ninja turtles movie the secret of the ooze
Yes! Definitely pronounced ooze! And it actually means “water”. So it’s called the river water 😂

My favorite spot when I visited the UK.
Memories of a primary school trip to York! I must go back!
I love how people react to you recording in the streets :D
Awesome video, as always. Thanks Jacob!
Thank you so much for today's video, Jacob. It was a much needed boon.
Excited for your book, much love ❤
Did you find anything about the Neolithic farmers or the Bronze Age Beaker Folk?
