From the Northwest of the USA, I had the unique experience of working in Cheltenham for over a month in August/September 2020 as well as another month or so in June of 2021. I have been a rabid amateur historian of the Classical period of Europe extending my lifelong hobby into the 3rd and 4th centuries and am looking everywhere I can for what happened in my ancestral homelands from the decline of Rome to the times of Chaucer. I am fascinated with the lost cultures of England, Ireland, and the Netherlands from which my typically mixed western frontier family tree is comprised. I was to put it, in American terms, TOTALLY STOKED, in the Cotswolds. After visiting Bath, taking a small hike to nearby Roman villa near the hotel and a functioning Roman bath a short drive away, I began to study the origin of each town I passed: Cirencester, Stroud, Hungerford, Bristol, the list goes on and on. I couldn't help but think of the undiscovered history buried in every mound, hill and valley and the vast human experience that has taken place in those very places. Thank you for this. Amazing work and channel.
They have a functioning Roman bath? Wow do you happen to remember what it’s called? That sounds interesting. I’ve been fascinated by Roman history since I was a child too and as a young adult I studied for a year at Carlo Bo (University of Urbino) which was amazing. I especially enjoyed Marcus Aurelius and the end of Pax Romana. I’m glad you got to have such an awesome experience 👍🏻
@@timhancock6626 Once the English got over the fact that I'm American and speak in the bland Rocky Mountain accent I was born in, I was able to find some really cool English people who love history like I do. Points that should be emphasized about the US. I live further away from DC than someone from London. We largely don't like people or culture of New York or LA any more than you do. The tens of millions of us that live in "flyover" states would rather buy you a pint or barbecue a filet mignon from a cow that lived a few miles outside the city than talk politics.

The latest interview on the Time Team website is with the lead archaeologist on the dig, who is well worth listening to. I'm recommending it, btw, as an accompaniment to Pete's video not as a replacement for it.
Fresco is painting on wet plaster which is completely different than mosaic which is a picture or pattern produced by arranging together small pieces of hard material, such as stone, tile or glass. They are two separate things.
This is wonderful. I was thinking when you said what the Mosaic depicted that I had never heard of there ever being one with Greek themes. What an awesome find.
Oddly the Brittons thought of themselves at some point in history as being the survivors of Troy having descended from Brutus en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutus_of_Troy
Amazing! Thanks for the upload! Maybe the depiction of that Greek story was a fashionable way of decoration, kind of like paintings of historical events of interest are hung on walls of important buildings today….just a guess. It’s beautiful!
Thank you for this!! I had just seen a brief video about the mosaic's discovery, and was frustrated that there a so little information provided (I think the video was all of 3½ minutes long). Thank you for giving me much-desired context and background 🖤
"Most unique Roman Villa found in over 100 years." I live in an area where something 100 years old is pretty much an historic site all on its own! Reminds me of the saying "to an American 100 years is a long time, and to a European 100 miles is a long trip."

Hi Stephen, do you live, at Rutland. I'm from Newark originally. I found the civil war stable, which is now the. National Civil war center,at Newark, in 1995
Those Romans were extremely Proficient in their expansionistic endeavors!!!...Beautiful restoration work! It is awesome to see how much work they have put into preserving our history...western civilization's history, and humanity's history! 👍
I really like this second channel and it’s shorter videos. Don’t get me wrong I love your longer format stuff but for new archaeological news this is perfect. That mosaic work was utterly stunning. They truly were flourishing in the rural areas during this time
9:50 Correction: Constantine made Christianity legal. He did not make it the official state religion. Theodosius made Christianity the official state religion.
According to king Og the Hivites of Jerusalem were the only of five Amorite tribes to adopt the new Babylonian state religion and the rest allied against them, Marduk and Babylon in the 100,000 giants war.
@@marjoriegarner5369 King Og describes it in more detail in the lost book of King Og but we have thousands of years of history fro the Heru, who were giant clans, but anyway of the Five Amorite giant tribes around the Levant and Mediterranean only the Hivites who were already in Jerusalem capitulated to the Babylonian presence and sided with the invasion by Marduk and Nimrod's Babylon, while the remaining four tribes allied as the 100,000 giants war. The giants of Bashan had been enclaved (it was remerkable that their demigod Enlil had been raising giants enclaved there for about 2500 years give or take, 60 megalithic cities are still intact today) in a big country that suddenly was wealth-transferred to the new demigod Marduk and via Jacob/Is-Ra-El his pawn he systematically purged all of the inhabitants to favour invasion by his Chosen Ones of Babylon. King Og expressed dismay because he knew it was against the 10 commandments to kill and yet the Chosen Ones were killing off the giants. King Og goes on to elaborate on the demigod Marduk's contention (as a god-poseur) that he bombed most of the giants' city-states himself to soften them up for the invasion of the Chosen Ones. And he details the unspoken mistake in which all the women and children were sacrificed to appease their Babylonian priests who had infiltrated their Heru temples, kinda like the illegal depopulation vaxxx program today.
Also the narrator called it a fresco which is painting on wet plaster, completely different than mosaic which is a picture or pattern produced by arranging together small pieces of hard material, such as stone, tile or glass.
Amazing find. I think the prolonged heatwave of the late spring and summer of 2020 had a lot to do with making buried structures more visible from the air, as the land died out and shrank around the structures. New Grange in Ireland unveiled a massive structure right beside the main chamber, that was completely unknown.
Yeah that's when I was there. My dad lived in Ireland for 2 and a half years in the early 1960s and said he didn't ever feel heat except when he saw that motorcycle race they have in the Isle of Mann. The huge Roman bath in aptly named Bath was unbelievable. I know the other one was kind of on the way from Cheltenham to Bourton on the Water. It's impossible to tell north south east west for me in Britain but I know the littler one is kind of between Cheltenham and Bourton and in some ways even cooler because it's so untouristy in an absolutely beautiful place with rolling hills, stone fences, etc. exactly how I always thought England would look. That day in Bourton on the Water was very very hot but also a hidden gem I'd never heard of and fortunate to stumble on. Pretty much the Cotswolds as a whole are what I thought England was growing up.
@@BB-yh5rd The Isle of Man TT is the most dangerous motorcycle road race in the world. It started in 1907 and resumes again in 2022 on the 28th May. You should go and see it some year!
@@jdee4956 I would absolutely love to. My father having lived in Ireland and a significant portion of my ancestry is Irish as my surname "Boyle" attests (although being from the western US all European immigrants intermingled as settlers crept west making it hard to know for sure how much is really Irish), I have always wanted to explore Ireland. I've flown over Ireland way more times than I can count working in Europe quite a bit as I do. Also, being from the vast open spaces of the American non coastal west, whether it be dirt bike or road cruiser, where I grew up you often learn to ride a motorcycle or horse before you get your drivers license. This is a bit of a morose way to understand how and where I grew up, but look at a homicide concentration map of the USA and the massive empty area with no dots north of Texas, east of Cali/Portland/Seattle, west of Chicago gives you an idea of the quality of life we enjoy. People from UK, Europe, Latin America, etc. ask me if I like the United States, my answer is simple, I love my part of the United States. The rest is more foreign to me and unintelligible intellectually or politically than the Cotswolds, Brazil's smaller cities, rural Germany or the Czech Republic. With that said, I have a deep love for those 19th century British, Irish, Dutch and other europeans that fill out my family tree that sacrificed so much and risked their lives to create the life I love so much. Settling my part of the country wasn't safe and certainly consisted of at times indefensible acts of cruelty between each other and Native Americans. You hear about the "Wild West," I think of it much as the same things as Julius Caesar conquering Gaul. The parallels are incredible. Seeing the countries where my ancestors came from and exploring the cultures, languages, histories, and landscapes even through a 21st century lens gives me a huge amount of joy and insight. Cheers and stay safe.
Maybe he was Greek , i am a Christian Catholic and i have greek clay on my wall , some say Alexander paved the way for the spread of Gods will . Cheers mate , love your work , a bit more faith and you see history clearer .
Absolutely love your work, but if I could venture one small criticism. The atmospheric video content is fine. But occasionally you use scene from other Roman ruins. Most are obvious and in context with your narration, but there were one or two that were not: a couple of scenes of standing ruins that were clearly not from the Rutmand site. I can see this possibly creating confusion for beginners., but there were some interesting ruins among them that I would like to know more about. There is a spooky story/true crime channel called MrBallen who uses simple slide shows to illustrate his stories. He goes out of his way to label 'genuine' material related to the story, from substitute images: it a very simple yet effective way of maintaining authenticity. I know this might interfere with the production values of your videos, but I also know that you are dedicated to historical accuracy. Anyway... it's just a thought.
Probably 50% here of the scenes of UK Roman remains and mosaics are from other sites. Less than half the depictions of Mosaics in this video are from Rutland and, of course, no attempt has been made to identify Porchester Castle, Littlecote Villa, etc. This is lazy work, the thrust of the video seems to be on giving a pretty presentation and a mostly irrelevant storyline about the Covid lockdown - giving your sources adds to our understanding and is something that all real researchers have employed in their work. without attribution such visualisations are useless So, ten out of ten for a relaxing visually entertaining video three out of ten for a useful and thought-provoking explanation of the Rutland discovery
Very nice video, but the Mayan glyphs you show ARE the written record of the Maya, they were deciphered decades ago. Look for articles on the Soviet linguist, Yuri Knorozov, who made significant progress from 1952 onwards and later Professor Michael D. Coe made further advances authoring many books on the subject including 'Reading the Maya Glyphs, Second Edition' in 2005.
Pete your one of the best narrator's but I can't handle the 2.second random images. I have to set my phone down and just listen so I guess it isn't such a bad thing. Thanks though.
Brilliant. 😃 I'm from Newark upon Trent. absolutely incredible history.. I found,🔦 the civil war🗡 stable🐴🏦, that became the National civil war center, at Newark. Back in 1995.. Newark, in the 70/80's.was a fantastic "playground" as a kid. buildings/ the castle/ Monks friary etc, didn't had metal doors/barriers. so we climbed/ explored and went down👇 the tunnels that ran/ run under Newark. ( experts still claim, the tunnels are a myth🤣🤣 ???!! ask anyone from Hawtonvillie Estate who was a kid in the 70s/ 80's about them tunnels. loada kids went down them. I used to stay in the Royal Oak pub, (part of the castles grounds), and there's a tunnel in the cellars. going to the market. Rumours say.. King John🤴, took his treasure, from Kings Lynn, by boats, via the rivers - Witham,/ Devon/ Trent to Lincoln, but died at Newark????!!!! not lost, in the Wash. always thought, Newarks St' Mary M, Church has "shiny" weather vain/Bells and clock faces.. . if ya gonna hide something, best place is right in plain sight clock face, literally - in ya face ..
Very interesting I saw it earlier and asked Can it be repaired if any tesserae are found in the surrounding area I’ve seen others repaired with cement patches Is this a temporary measure I’d really enjoy going to have a look at the people working on these marvellous finds
Hello Pete. An amazing discovery for sure. I just finished reading a novel called Circe - by Madeline Miller. It is a cross over between it and Homer's Odyssey. It tells the tale of Circe, one of the Goddesses Odysseus comes in contact with IN The Odyssey. She tells the story from her point of view and what happened after Odysseus left her island. Quite blew my mind since I have read Homer's Odyssey in the original text.
Lol, I love how he says 'even Gregg's shut down' like, what the fuck is Gregg's? It's like he's saying 'even Floopityflop's shut down' *gasping from the crowd* Is that like the McDonald's of this country or something?
So, the discovery of the villa had absolutely nothing to do with the lockdown. A farmer was out walking through his land. I kindof thought farmers did that all the time.
God, Roman Britania is just so interesting, everything about its cosmopolitan culture (for those that can afford it at least) creates such a cool image of the ancient world that is just magical to think about. The same temples exist in modern day Lebanon and Britain, thousands of miles apart. Also did Pete just tell us, a bunch of history nerds, to... touch grass?
That's more down to the fact that temples were built to a plan that hardly changed for many hundreds, if not a few thousand years. The infrastructure knew how necessary it was to ensure the far reaches of the empire needed recognisable symbols for the soldiers and civil servants to 'feel at home away from home'. They could best do their jobs when feeling secure that they're still safe and comfortable within the confines of the empire, wherever it may be.
This 64 year old art teacher living in Adrian, Michigan, who happened to be an Adrian-Madison Trojan thinks this is interesting! Thank you for preserving history! Best wishes from Michigan.

Probably 50% here of the scenes of UK Roman remains and mosaics are from other sites. Less than half the depictions of Mosaics in this video are from Rutland
and, of course, no attempt has been made to identify Porchester Castle, Littlecote Villa, etc.
This is lazy work, the thrust of the video seems to be on giving a pretty presentation and a mostly irrelevant storyline about the Covid lockdown - giving your sources adds to our understanding and is something that all real researchers have employed in their work.
without attribution such visualisations are useless
So, ten out of ten for a relaxing visually entertaining video
three out of ten for a useful and thought-provoking explanation of the Rutland discovery
Cool, thanks dude.
what about this? m.th-cam.com/video/vyHKO9oWPhQ/w-d-xo.html
Lucky guy. The best thing I've ever found while out on a walk is a £20 note.
Thanks!
Very nice video, but the Mayan glyphs you show ARE the written record of the Maya, they were deciphered decades ago. Look for articles on the Soviet linguist, Yuri Knorozov, who made significant progress from 1952 onwards and later Professor Michael D. Coe made further advances authoring many books on the subject including 'Reading the Maya Glyphs, Second Edition' in 2005.
Thank you Pete...It's amazing the work that is still being discovered...😁

Pete your one of the best narrator's but I can't handle the 2.second random images. I have to set my phone down and just listen so I guess it isn't such a bad thing. Thanks though.

Amazing finds!
Amazing that something like this remained hidden until now. Makes you wonder what else is there to be found.
Very nice
There is so much history just buried waiting to be found.

Brilliant. 😃
I'm from Newark upon Trent.
absolutely incredible history..
I found,🔦 the civil war🗡 stable🐴🏦, that became the National civil war center, at Newark. Back in 1995..
Newark, in the 70/80's.was a fantastic "playground" as a kid.
buildings/ the castle/ Monks friary etc, didn't had metal doors/barriers.
so we climbed/ explored and went down👇 the tunnels that ran/ run under Newark. ( experts still claim, the tunnels are a myth🤣🤣 ???!! ask anyone from Hawtonvillie Estate who was a kid in the 70s/ 80's about them tunnels. loada kids went down them.
I used to stay in the Royal Oak pub, (part of the castles grounds), and there's a tunnel in the cellars. going to the market.
Rumours say..
King John🤴, took his treasure, from Kings Lynn, by boats, via the rivers - Witham,/ Devon/ Trent to Lincoln,
but died at Newark????!!!!
not lost, in the Wash.
always thought, Newarks St' Mary M, Church has "shiny" weather vain/Bells and clock faces..
.
if ya gonna hide something, best place is right in plain sight
clock face, literally -
in ya face ..
Very interesting I saw it earlier and asked Can it be repaired if any tesserae are found in the surrounding area I’ve seen others repaired with cement patches Is this a temporary measure I’d really enjoy going to have a look at the people working on these marvellous finds
A beautifully made and informative video.

How can one access this satellite imagery for the uk, or is it limited to universities and professional archaeologists?
Look on Google satellite view around Cuckoo Farm near Ketton and you will see the outline of a building very clearly in a field
Hello Pete. An amazing discovery for sure. I just finished reading a novel called Circe - by Madeline Miller. It is a cross over between it and Homer's Odyssey. It tells the tale of Circe, one of the Goddesses Odysseus comes in contact with IN The Odyssey. She tells the story from her point of view and what happened after Odysseus left her island. Quite blew my mind since I have read Homer's Odyssey in the original text.
Very interesting to be sure.
what about this ? m.th-cam.com/video/vyHKO9oWPhQ/w-d-xo.html
The Lopen mosaic has an almost identical mosaic of Hector and Achilles
Awesome
Time team should have done a special
This is explained on timeteam channel, they interviewed some of the experts a few days ago.
Amazing story, beautifully told.
Sorry for the tangent, but while I knew that exercise was permitted, I hadn't heard that it had been mandated.
This video is lovely!
this is not a fresco. That involves painting onto wet plaster. A mosaic is made from small, multicoloured tiles.
It is a to me these discoveries can still be happening in the UK. So much history on top of history. Thanks for the excellent video.
I actually heard about this discovery recently and my first (maybe second) thought was: "I bet Pete is going to make a video about it".
Lol, I love how he says 'even Gregg's shut down' like, what the fuck is Gregg's? It's like he's saying 'even Floopityflop's shut down' *gasping from the crowd*
Is that like the McDonald's of this country or something?
Greggs is like a donut/pastry/snack shop where you can get a nice little lunch for a few pounds. It's great.
fantastic
Thank you for this, Pete! Wonderfully interesting! Your content is always worth waiting for! =)
So, the discovery of the villa had absolutely nothing to do with the lockdown. A farmer was out walking through his land. I kindof thought farmers did that all the time.
id like to know more about the bones like how old and genetic profile.
God, Roman Britania is just so interesting, everything about its cosmopolitan culture (for those that can afford it at least) creates such a cool image of the ancient world that is just magical to think about. The same temples exist in modern day Lebanon and Britain, thousands of miles apart.
Also did Pete just tell us, a bunch of history nerds, to... touch grass?
That's more down to the fact that temples were built to a plan that hardly changed for many hundreds, if not a few thousand years.
The infrastructure knew how necessary it was to ensure the far reaches of the empire needed recognisable symbols for the soldiers and civil servants to 'feel at home away from home'.
They could best do their jobs when feeling secure that they're still safe and comfortable within the confines of the empire, wherever it may be.
@@onbedoeldekut1515 Sort of like Mc Donalds to Americans?
@@leonisayaon7030 McDonald's aren't all carbon copies of each other.
0:55 government mandated daily exercise😭😭😭😭😭😭
This 64 year old art teacher living in Adrian, Michigan, who happened to be an Adrian-Madison Trojan thinks this is interesting! Thank you for preserving history! Best wishes from Michigan.
Many historic mandates have proven profound. The ones as if late may spark unintended rises in agency.
Would like to see more about the actual site and findings.
My thoughts as well. Lots of beautiful photography and dulcet tones, but very little on the actual archaeology.
Light on the info and heavy on the fluff
Why was it ever covered up wouldn't people want to use it again or preserve it.,?
