The Great Bronze Age Orme Mines of Wales | Copper Mining and Evidence of Giants in Ancient Britain

- Hugh Newman explores the ancient copper mines of Llandudno in North Wales. 'The Great Orme Mines' have been in use for 4,000 years, but a neolithic dolmen and 14,000 year old artifacts have also been found in close proximity to the mine. 1,760 tonnes of copper ore (Malachite) was excavated and used all through Europe in the Bronze Age, enough to create 10 million bronze axes. Hugh goes down 60 feet into the mine, but it goes a further 150 feet down, and has over 5 miles of tunnels in total. Massive axe casts, and huge stone hammers are on display and Hugh suggests this may be the work of giants, as hundreds of accounts of bones and skeletons, as well as numerous legends talk of them being present in this area.

Hello Hugh, I used to live up the road from you in Saffron Walden, anyway I have an absolute definitive connection to copper mining and Phoenician giants, Its so obvious you will kick yourself when i tell you.
My email is handmadeforge@gmail.com
Hello Hugh, Im a big fan of yours and have been following you for the last 5 years, I grew up not far from you in Saffron Walden, anyway I wanted to thank you and Jim Vieira for your fascinating work on the giant race and their connection to copper mining in the U.K and the United States.
There is a theory that the Michigan mines, specifically the great lakes were originally exploited by the Phoenicians.
I think i may have a very interesting piece of evidence that connects copper mining to Phoenician giants, its so obvious you will kick yourself.
I wondered if you could email me at handmadeforge@gmail.com so i can run my theory by you first before i make it public.
I really think this will blow your socks off.
Cheers mate.
Giants might have been above ground crushing extracted ore but if JJ can barely squeeze through the tunnels then obviously the giants were not doing the actual mining...
Yep, giants probably the chieftains who enslaved the smaller people into mining
Those Large round stones may have been used like a PESTLE, to pound the ore into dust, Sit them inside a piece of netting and lift them up and drop them using a counterweighted levered Arm.
We had a lot of welsh miners in Northern California in the Gold Rush. They brought pasties, tommyknockers, and GREAT mining skills!
We had Giants in North America also. Many many tales ,legends and sightings. Covered up on purpose for sure...nobody can change my mind.
Having to duck and squeeze through the openings is enough for me to say there were not any giants working inside these mines...
Well done ol chap! Cheers from your neighbors across the pond!
It is a fantastic place to visit, the underground part was not available when I visited just prior to official opening, must go back soon it's quite near to me. Thanks for the excellent video
Yes, a very interesting place, especially with the dolmen there too!
5 foot 5 inches would be normal height in the Neolithic. People were a bit taller before that during the late Paleolithic because of a higher protein diet (perhaps). Those tunnels look like they were for people of not much over 5 feet tall. The giant axe heads don't make sense but the big stone mining hammers could have been used in a lift and drop way and do not imply great height. The key evidence, as in your piece about N American tools, is the axe heads.

Thank for this.Really like how this guy explains things
So many questions, so few answers!
If you need a 12 ft human to make your hammer concept work. Its probably not a hammer --
very cool. thoroughly enjoyable
Love this stuff so interesting and intriguing, Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. I will be looking locally for clues.
great video thanks.
Most fascinating, thanks for sharing..
I’m not a fan of enclosed spaces but watching your underground tour was most interesting. Thank you.
Wonderful, thanks
Just been there!brilliant!!!😀👍
Hugh was ok with factual context. Then he wandered off into the fields to pick daisies.
Hi Hugh, your big axe-head mould at about 12.50 has holes in it:- that would have made axes with protrusions on? Are they later holes, or was the mould actually for somerhing else?
Thank you
Hugh, love your work. We all wish we could come along with you ! Thank you for your insight. No disrespect, but we would all be interested in JJ’s take on this also. Maybe a collaboration and comment section of your trips together. Her “take” on your joint explorations have been educational. Up to this point, there are only solo investigators. You would be the first Megalithic Mavens ! Thank you.
I'm encouraging her to get in front of the camera, but she is quite shy, but slowing changing!
If you could barely fit in the mine, how did the giants get in there?
The Lake Superior copper mines are very different. The copper there is "native copper" meaning it had not weathered to malachite or included within other copper minerals. It is pure copper and found in lava flows. I have not heard of giants mining at that North American (Michigan) location.
would be nice if the opened more of it up to the public
@MegalithomaniaUK
Couldn't the Hammers have been attached to a mechanical system for pulverizing the ore, like for big see-saws in some kind of pre-industrial manufacture? The Hammers survived but the wooden parts didn't...
But anyways giant humans were part of the megafauna and formed civilizations that did not survive the Younger Dryas.
Except in some "few" places.
Good point. Yes the large hammer stones may have been used in various ways. As for the giants, many were wiped out, but traditions of them, and lots of bones have been unearthed in Britain, that we feature in the upcoming book.
You have giant bones ? Real actual giant bones ? Why dont you release them to the scientific community ? Lets get this thing going ..
@@DawnHub666 No not any. Untortunatelly not... But there is a giant tooth of a denisovan twice as big as a sapiens one. So how big do you think was the body under the head with a jaw big enough to support it??? Shaq O'Neil and Maximinus Thrax ain't no fairy tail giants but real humans. Gigantism is a normal genetic feature
@@miskovcancite your source for that claim.
Alllmost like they knew about levers...
Definitely a mine made by the giants - the narrow and shallow passages are a dead give away!
No. The giants forced humans to mine into the Earth for minerals, and taught them metallurgy. Many ancient cultures tell the same story about fallen angels teaching humans metallurgy and more.
Read: “And, another thing the Chitauli ( aliens) forced human beings to do, they forced human beings to mine into the Earth. The Chitauli activated human women and made them to discover minerals and metals of certain types. Women discovered copper; women discovered gold; women discovered silver.
And, eventually, they were guided by the Chitauli to alloy these metals and to create new metals which had never existed in Nature before, metals such as bronze and brass and others.“
This also ties in with the book of Enoch and the fallen angels:
“And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. 2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways”
Ever thought that those stones were used in a mill to break up the ore, we are still doing this today in the ceramics industry. We actually used pebbles from a river bed in France to produce a ceramic body so why not use the same processes to produce copper from ore.
Next visits to megalithic sites, bring tape measures. By adding as many numbers as you can to your viedo scripts, they will be impressive on their own, and you will appear the impressive expert explorer.
PS: Remember you are playing to an international audience. Adding maps helps who-knows-who where ever.
Boats! Yes! and that comes AFTER weaving sails from farmed sheep/goats, or even a crop like flax which would require processing into linen, again requiring an additional skill.
See why the question of boats with sails is omitted always?!!
Flax from which Linen is made is native to the area from India to Ireland. It makes superb rope and sail cloth. It has been used for making cloth for over 9,000 years and rope for 30,000 years.
The boats could be using rowers same as they did in the Mediterranean since before the bronze age collapse.
@MegalithomaniaUK
The shipping facilities would be highly interesting to research, the types of ships and load capacities. You cannot transport ore in hide covered coracles, that is a fact, but that is what we have been generally told about the vessels used in the Irish Sea area up to the Roman era. Is there more information about this important factor ? They also required efficient loading and unloading facilities to carry out work to any large degree.
Conwy estuary at the bottom of the Conwy valley would be an ideal loading area for moving goods to and from the Orme.

Were the mines exploited in later eras, such as during the period of Roman Britannia ? The Romans generally had good information pertaining to any minerals that they could utilize. Their move into Siluria in the first century CE was to gain control of the gold mines in that area, amongst other possibilities, and the final conquest of North Wales followed shortly after. Had the mines been completely buried by that stage ? - it was thousands of years later, wasn't it, but as I said, the Romans were generally extremely well informed. They even let the Cornish tribes in a state of quasi autonomy as not to disturb the tin mining operations that had been going on there for centuries.
@@SNP-1999 there's evidence that the Romans were about in the area. Canovium was a square fort built in timber at an important river crossing (at Tal-y-Cafn) by the Roman army around AD 75. i'd assume that with there being a fort close by they'd have used the fresh water wells that can be found on the orme.
@@sadist71
Thank you for the information. It is a fascinating subject, isn't it ? To understand our past is to comprehend our future. Far too much has been withheld from the public, but I have the feeling that we are on the verge of a revolution of disclosure, when the centuries old "closed shop" owned by mainstream historians and archaeologists will at last be opened to the public.
I want to know more about ORMEs and monoatomic gold but the subject has been banned from TH-cam.
You should cover the lies within truth the UK college's are spreading about Stonehenge.
Admitting those that built stonehenge where from Turkey yet they deny the historical stories that the Welsh have been saying they were from that area of the world since before the Romans were around. (Brutus of Troy)
Guess it's just a coincendence that we have a people who were once in controll of that area of England and they just so happen to have stories that they were from the same area those that built stonehenge were from....what are the odds?!
Those Celts (Specifically the Khumric people, now known as the Welsh) in anatolia aren't from an invasion....they are those that remained after Troy fell.
I keep telling people this, and they have absolutely no idea!
how would I take someone seriously with a name like Taffy Ducks?
These mysterious people from the Caucasus mountains / Black Sea region were known as the Aryans aka the Anunnaki. They seemed to somehow possess advanced levels of knowledge, and, wherever they went, they ruled the indigenous peoples of those lands. The Aryans influence can be felt all over the world - from ancient China, India, Europe, Persia, the Americas, and Africa. The Africans called them ‘Mzungu’
Men were not much bigger than 5ft in many periods of ancient time, due to lack of protein diets as children, but the suggestion that children used in mines is not borne out by muscles structues as upper body muscle is a sign of post puberty and testosterone production, so we could consider the use of Dwarf miners combined with Giants for crushing the ore, that is to say the right skills for the job.
Does anyone know how tall the tunnels are , unfortunately I’m extremely claustrophobic and I’m being forced to go inside

Giants my ass...
That potential axe mold is probably not evidence of giants. Yes they look huge, but if it was used for casting metal, there would have been work to finish the tools. Which would involve removing material to get the final shape and sharpness.
Also, didn’t people in this area basically throw entire trees end over end for sport at one point? I don’t think giants are required to wield any of these tools.
And where exactly is the mine excavation residue?
Kind of a sad note, but from Classical times up to, oh, the 1930s a lot of mining, especially very simple 'go into the hole, break off the funny coloured rock' variety, was done by kids. Keep that in mind when you think of the little tunnels...Also, these mines make me think of the mystery of the Lake Superior/Michigan ancient copper mines, where apparently SOMEONE was extracting megatonnes of copper in ancient times...also, many of the giants discovered in North American mounds had hardened copper axes and even armour according to the reports...
and then there were the little people or dwarfs who were known, too, to do the mining of silver, gold and other stuff, here in germany and elsewhere ... .
@@felice9907 I've often thought that the ancient myths may have put in stature as a stand in for technical ability, e.g. Gods= the ability to fly plus a lightning weapon, Giants=Gods minus flight lightning weapon, and finally dwarves/trolls= the ancient civilization reduced to a wretched state, underground, the 'slaves of the gods', etc. Something VERY odd was going on. An ancient war?
Search ellert and brammert, Here in the north of the netherlands there are very much of these hune bedden ( sleepspace ofthe hun people) and here thegovernment... teaches children these are burialmomuments. I live in the northern regio's and know at least 10 of these stone buildings and also several otter ancient places where nobody ever comes or even know of
I'm scared now...
I've got a theory that Neanderthal man did not go extinct but ruled over us and might still do nobody knows who the Kabal is and antartica is off limits to us ,just a theory bit like gravity
Shut up..
"We know the giants were involved there!" He walks into the GIANTS MINE and as a manlet STOOPS OVER TO GET INSIDE...
Does anyone have 2 watts of brainpower left ?
IF mine waste was 'refilled, tremendous labor would have been involved, children would not have had the strength to chip out rock, and why then do we have mines with so much above ground waste that the pools collapse and avalanche down mountain sides covering towns?
According to Zechariah Sitchin, the Anunnaki made humans mine for copper, gold, etc.
I don't get it. If they did mining their, which they obviously did...why are the shafts so small? People go in and people and stuff come out all the time. Not very efficient...unless you have more exits or "shortcuts".
TFW evidence of big axe head casting means evidence of giants - --
What? Giants? They must have really long arms maybe?
I'm a bit shocked... no info signs in Welsh?
You should visit there mate!there's no welsh people either!!!(didn't hear one welsh accent in four days!!)
They are stones. They are natural pulverizers. They are affixed to nothing. You lift the stone with 2 hands, then do a controlled drop onto softer stone. Smash. A child can do it--and sadly, often had to do it to eat.
About how many stone would an ancient megalithic giant turd be?
Sorry to break it to you, but they make axes that size for normal sized people nowadays, there really is no evidence `of giants` whatsoever. They used to swing the large hammers from frames in front of the working face to pound the rock loose. I cant imagine they wouldnt have told you that at the mine. Why are you trying to misinform people?
It was not the giants at all The Middle East that was trading with the Isles. The passages are to narrow and small for giant's . Look at Joseph of Arimathea trading metals 2000 years ago with the Isles. The Middle East has been trading since Solomon time
It could be Giants were full grown adults, where children did all the work. Average life expectancy 25-30 yrs?
Why the obsession with digging for copper, esp under such treacherous conditions? You’d think they’d be more focused upon finding food than metals. I can only assume they were enslaved by a “higher” authority.
Hyperborean giants?
You have not proved any evidence that those stones where used as hummers. I am 6' tall and those stones would have been an Ideal size and weight for me to lift above my head with two hands to crush the ore with. Or it would have been relatively simple to build a pulley device and tie 6 or 7 of those large stones to it and used to crush the ore. The tunnels are to small and narrow for giants.
Can’t be arsed with pronunciation? Off-y switch-y
"Mine waste' cemented together by calcite --maybe by plasma?
Smdh, the mine is cool AF. The rest of the woo was not.
A grown man talking about giants as if they really existed...
And those are not casts for giant hammers, but for ingots. It hurts listening to your umscientific ramblings
Zzzzzz.
Giants? This is pathetic. You need to educate yourself about history, about reality.
Many ancient texts / oral tradition tell us these things happened. The giants never mined, rather they forced humans to do it.
“And, another thing the Chitauli forced human beings to do, they forced human beings to mine into the Earth. The Chitauli activated human women and made them to discover minerals and metals of certain types. Women discovered copper; women discovered gold; women discovered silver.
And, eventually, they were guided by the Chitauli to alloy these metals and to create new metals which had never existed in Nature before, metals such as bronze and brass and others.“ ~ Zulu shaman Credo Mutwa
This also ties in with the book of Enoch and the fallen angels:
“And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. 2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways”
