Why pretend Milk wasn't used in lands around the black sea and much of Europe thousands of years ago? Weird that you leave that out in favor of some strange British first theory.
@@a_ya5555 I didn't pretend that, you just imagined I did because you probably very insecure and have some kind of problem.

Pretty sure Black Africans built those forts after they finish building the pyramids then headed back down to Africa to make some huts with twigs n mud and cow dung.

"Intrinsic" understanding of your ancestors is why you need a TH-cam vid to tell you bout them, right? You're on a stupid path, turn back before it's too late
@@electriceyeball Bros ancestors went out of their way to murder other people so worshipping them is grounds for ridicule in any case, and it'd be hypocritical of you to praise their practices and traditions while condemning my comparatively mild manners.

Another use for wheat is beer. I’ve heard a theory that a liking for beer kicked off agriculture in the first place. It was only later that we learned we could waste it by eating the stuff.
Very interesting. What a blessing our Indo-Europeans gave us in giving us lactose tolerance. Thank you for uploading this Tom. This gives me more insight into my Celtic Ancestors.
East Africans are also lactase persistent because of a genetic mutation found only within their population. It's not specifically just an Indo-European trait, as many Maasai are diary tolerant like their ancient Hamitic kinsmen further north from Egypt.
@@JawnBoyd-rt9gd No it's it not. Hamitic tribes from East Africa are diary tolerant, but that's because of a completely gene mutation within their population.
I love that you use the term cowboys. As an American, I always associated the 1800s cowboy culture in the American West with the Yamnaya or other related ancient Indo-European pastoralist cultures. It's almost like blood memory drew the purest settlers further west in America, like an ancestral calling to what resembled the steppes of Eurasia.
There is a large bronze age hillfort one mile from my house with over 70 ringforts houses on it, also two two neolithic carins. Even a Mesolithic flint was found there. It's a really special place that my ancestors once lived. Thanks for another fantastic video
Part of a hillforts defence came from vast caches of slingstones. There were 11,000 slingstones at Danebury Castle. The sling is associated everywhere with pastoralism, as you control your flock by slinging stones into the places you want to steer your animals away from. The sling is also used to keep birds off arable fields when they have been sown. Learn how to use a sling and you can be one step closer to your ancient ancestors.
Absolutely loved this! I've found it difficult to find the more in-depth intricate history of the British Celts, and you absolutely smashed it here! I could listen to this all day. It would be great if you could talk about all the tribes and their history, including King's, battles, etc.

I live in ireland, where i live must have been a fairly populated area, i can easily count around 26 small ring forts in my locak area, scattered around old towns and A roads. They seem to be on ferile soil areas, good rolling hills, around local quarries, and very old celtic settlements. Nobody seems to have destoryed any, even today, they sometimes serve as livestock hoarding areas. Many of these forts have "fairy trees".
Really good use of theme in this video. Using hill forts and lactose tolerance as the common thread running through the video makes it easier to follow along and understand the possible conflicts and motivations of ancient Britons for a layman like me. The history of pre-literate societies is fascinating but can often be over-saturated with academic jargon, so nice to see a video that makes the subject accessible without sacrificing depth.
another thorough and polished video as expected. I highly suggest you look into the "Castro culture" in NW Spain/Portugal. They have iron age hillforts there as well and lots of the material culture has survived (loads of torcs). Citânia de Briteiros, Cividade de Terroso, Castro de Baroña, San Cibrao de Las, and Santa Trega are some notable ones. Not to mention the abundance of dolmens, tumuli and petroglyphs also present. Greetings from Braga, PT.
This is a wonderful video, thank you Tom. I was born in Wisconsin, USA. Several generations of holstein dairy farmers are my ancestors going back from Milwaukee to Croatia and beyond. I love milk and drink it pretty much every day since I was a child.
My husband always say's that a hill that's called Freebrough hill on the moors road to Whitby is man made? Always a sight to see. Kirkcarrion is also a little hill top fort that we have walked up and is amazing to wander around. I love our ancient past of the British isle's.
Excellent still, again, thanks. Being an Aussie Scot with a life-long passion for copious amounts of milk, this superb doco struck a deep chord within me. With maternal ancestry firstly from Caithness (McKelvie), thence mid-Highlands (Buchanan), Southern Loch Lomond (Lennox) and, Galway, Ire. (Halleron); and paternal ancestry from Italian Switzerland (Barrett), I think I have superfluous fractions of the lactose digesting alleles squirming away in my tract, thankfully, in my humble opinion.
Thank you for this. If anyone's very very interested in Brythonic and Celtic warfare in general I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series. Keep up with the amazing work
I've read a theory that some hill forts began as fortified enclosures for the keeping of livestock in times of strife, but the new genetic evidence is truly fascinating
Forts near the ocean does not necessarily mean they feared the sea it could instead mean they felt safer and more defendable with their backs against the sea with less avenues to attack the fort.
Good think Monkeybat, Sea breezes are wholesome, lessen troublesome insect life & are a boon to seabirds and those that like to eat sea bird eggs. The intertidal zone is the most densely populated strip of life on the planet.
@@bubstacrini8851 Yeah the fish and the trade are another obvious reason to put a settlement on the coast, and a wealthy settlement needs to be defended.
@verathuuum - yep, none of those things ate yours in this lifetime. But if you had them then, you and your male kin would have had to FIGHT and WIN , to keep them. No rule of Law to protect against the greed and savagery of your neighbours. And no protection against the vagaries of mother nature. Bloody tough.
If you have been up to the Lost Valley in Glencoe where the MacDonalds hid their cattle it is a natural hidden enclosure with grazing. Fully defensible. by location and its entrance up a steep hidden trail. Cattle were very valuable in ancient times.
I am reminded of a story from when the Norse visited the Americas. One source of conflict was lactose intolerance. Apparently the Norse had with them cheeses which they used to trade with the natives. The native Americans, who had no tolerance to dairy thought that the Norse traders had tried to poison them. I wonder if similar occurances may have led to disputes among the arable farmers and the cowboys.
@shadowbanned1999 I live in Oregon. In 1987 our democrat state legislature made it illegal to sell in stores for human consumption the only way you can buy raw milk is directly from a small scale farmer.
Don't drink raw milk. It's full of bacteria & can make you ill. I could list them all but I can't be bothered. Every year someone dies from drinking raw milk in the UK, it's simply not worth the risk & confers no nutritional benefits.
These forts have a much simpler explanation: Namely, Shepard's would keep their livestock in a safe location during times of trouble and or nights and evenings. Easier then defend from all the naughty neighbors and wild animals. These cannot be easily discounted, as a motivational factor for defence of the flocks and storage...
I think one of the purposes of hillforts was a protected animal enclosure. Modern day people seriously underestimate the importance and value of livestock to an iron age society. Rival tribesmen literally went to war over cattle. Not only were they a source of nutrients and useful by products but also a form of trading commodity. Livestock were essential for survival and needed to be protected, not just from thieves, bandits and enemy tribes, but also from predators such as bears, wolves and lynx that still roamed the British Isles at this time. Even if a hillforts primary purpose was not a corral, only a fool would never use them as one.
One day when I make the money and buy my property in the cascade mountains, I’m gonna build me a Celtic homestead. Complete with the roundhouse and Innangard and Utangard fences. Except only difference will be a small structure for a garage.
Very rich video! We have a lot of cultural similarities from the kelts that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula. The head cult or krowka/coca, the celtic forts - the castros here in Portugal. Very interesting to see common traits amongst these european native cultures.
These thousands of years old giant cricket field arenas are just amazing.. Who were they trying to keep out? Folks who failed to buy a ticket for the game, presumably.
Thing is about their settlement's being far away from water, they got their water from the rain. Cow's would graze the wet grasslands after rain and they would get their hydration through the raw milk consumption.
I have no issues with either one. I'm like a bear that eats everything, and sometimes I take a shiite in the woods too! Thank you ancestors whichever ones you might be!
@@MrResearcher122 . Monkeys the bunch of them!...... hanging from trees all day. Eating, shiiting, and fornicating all over the place with no moral qualms whatsoever ......
Very interesting and well-made documentary. This is the best kind of video you make. However I find the "pre-Celtic pastoralist vs Celtic grain farmer" cohabitation / conflict theory a bit stretchy. The erection of hillforts could just be the result of increasing territorial affirmation resulting in greater animosity between rival Celtic chiefdoms. In fact it is the explaination proposed by French archeologists for the appearance of hillforts in the early Iron Age in southern France. Hillforts also appeared in the early Iron Age in NW Spain but I have not read anything related to pastoralism vs grain farming, and the situation of Iron Age Spain was very similar to that of IA Britain in that it saw the arrival of Celtic invaders. The theory would make more sense if we'd find genetic evidence of pre-Celtic Britons living at the same time and in the same areas as the Celtic / Celtic-mixed Britons but there's no trace of that yet. We'll have to wait for more data to be realeased.
The "people" (you know who) had unsubscribed me from your channel. Your content obviously doesn't fit the profile of what they want us to see. Glad that you are still producing good quality content.
I was wondering whether the rise of lactase persistence might not have been directly related to the drinking of milk, but perhaps some other secondary cause. I came up with smallpox and the theory milk drinking people would’ve had cowpox and thus been protected against it. Perhaps a few waves of smallpox going through the population could have selected for pastoral descent. But then I checked with ChatGPT and there doesn’t seem to be any evidence for smallpox in Bronze Age Britain. 😢
Can you imagine living in the Iron Age and then hearing the following words being shouted in panicked voices: THE MILK DRINKERS ARE COMING! THE MILK DRINKERS ARE COMING! THEY BRING THE EVILS OF LACTOSE-TOLERANCE!
Hello Mr. Jive, quick question. Wanted to know if you knew of any organizations trying to worship the celtic deities in an historical authentic manner. I know the information we have on this is a little less than the germanic sources. I want develop a ritual practice, but don't know where to start. Lots of new age nonsense comes up when you try to find some historical things to do. Cheers, and great video.

These forts have a much simpler explanation:
Namely, Shepard's would keep their livestock in a safe location during times of trouble and or nights and evenings.
Easier then defend from all the naughty neighbors and wild animals.
These cannot be easily discounted, as a motivational factor for defence of the flocks and storage...
Super excited!
I think one of the purposes of hillforts was a protected animal enclosure. Modern day people seriously underestimate the importance and value of livestock to an iron age society. Rival tribesmen literally went to war over cattle. Not only were they a source of nutrients and useful by products but also a form of trading commodity. Livestock were essential for survival and needed to be protected, not just from thieves, bandits and enemy tribes, but also from predators such as bears, wolves and lynx that still roamed the British Isles at this time. Even if a hillforts primary purpose was not a corral, only a fool would never use them as one.
Makes a lot of sense.
Though most hillforts still bare the marks of many round houses inside(and out) of the enclosure.
One of the best stories of ancient Ireland is literally called 'the cattle raid of cooley'. I absolutely agree.
Great as always! My parents have a house in Cornwall, 5 min walk from Chychauster.
I am fascinated by Celtic culture, love the channel, love the content of this episode: I learned a lot! Thank you! Hail Mithra!
Who is Mithra ? I only have One God ..I call Him Loving Living Father .
One day when I make the money and buy my property in the cascade mountains, I’m gonna build me a Celtic homestead. Complete with the roundhouse and Innangard and Utangard fences. Except only difference will be a small structure for a garage.
This ones quite good , Im going to watch this one multiple times
Very rich video! We have a lot of cultural similarities from the kelts that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula. The head cult or krowka/coca, the celtic forts - the castros here in Portugal. Very interesting to see common traits amongst these european native cultures.
Loved this episode - thanks Tom 🙏
These thousands of years old giant cricket field arenas are just amazing..
Who were they trying to keep out?
Folks who failed to buy a ticket for the game, presumably.
Beautiful footage and the voice over sounded great!!
Thank you very much!
I so love how you present possible reasons or scenarios . 👍 So many folks simply state one theory as concrete .
putting on my best suit to watch a new Survive the Jive video
Good points well made. I am puzzled by the lack of a water source on most hill forts I have visited.
This is good clean family education you can trust🙏🏻😉
Yes, thank you
Was at Bury Ditches Iron Age Hillfort in Salop the other day 🌞
All together now “oh the farmer and the cowman should be friends…” 🎼
Thing is about their settlement's being far away from water, they got their water from the rain. Cow's would graze the wet grasslands after rain and they would get their hydration through the raw milk consumption.
Love the videos on the Celts, I'm starved for knowledge on them, we know comparatively little
Dinas in welsh means city, i wonder if theres a connection with the first hillfort? Very cool documentary 😁
The conflict between pastoralists and farmers would poetically re-emerge in the American West. Cow-punchers vs. Sodbusters.
Fascinating stuff Tom
I have wheat issues. But no dairy issues. Thank you ancestors.
I have no issues with either one. I'm like a bear that eats everything, and sometimes I take a shiite in the woods too!
Thank you ancestors whichever ones you might be!
@@tatumergo3931 lol ....your ancestors were probably the cave men too:)
@@MrResearcher122 . Monkeys the bunch of them!...... hanging from trees all day.
Eating, shiiting, and fornicating all over the place with no moral qualms whatsoever ......
James, you continue to improve, nay, accelerate. Thank you for your work, good sir.
I really like your style bro, I need to up my clothing game!
Fascinating video, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting and well-made documentary. This is the best kind of video you make.
However I find the "pre-Celtic pastoralist vs Celtic grain farmer" cohabitation / conflict theory a bit stretchy. The erection of hillforts could just be the result of increasing territorial affirmation resulting in greater animosity between rival Celtic chiefdoms. In fact it is the explaination proposed by French archeologists for the appearance of hillforts in the early Iron Age in southern France.
Hillforts also appeared in the early Iron Age in NW Spain but I have not read anything related to pastoralism vs grain farming, and the situation of Iron Age Spain was very similar to that of IA Britain in that it saw the arrival of Celtic invaders.
The theory would make more sense if we'd find genetic evidence of pre-Celtic Britons living at the same time and in the same areas as the Celtic / Celtic-mixed Britons but there's no trace of that yet. We'll have to wait for more data to be realeased.
Interesting as always, with great musical choices.
The "people" (you know who) had unsubscribed me from your channel. Your content obviously doesn't fit the profile of what they want us to see. Glad that you are still producing good quality content.
Very cool. Just noticed youtube must have unsubscribed me as I haven’t gotten a notification in over a year.
18:03 the famous greek Phalanx formation was developed for fights between groups of sedentry arable people
New survive the jive video? Let’s gooo!
I was wondering whether the rise of lactase persistence might not have been directly related to the drinking of milk, but perhaps some other secondary cause. I came up with smallpox and the theory milk drinking people would’ve had cowpox and thus been protected against it. Perhaps a few waves of smallpox going through the population could have selected for pastoral descent. But then I checked with ChatGPT and there doesn’t seem to be any evidence for smallpox in Bronze Age Britain. 😢
Quite possibly it relates to climate, grain diets, vitamin d and complexion also
@@Survivethejive and blond hair and other linked neotenies 😀 - ah - I see you mentioned complexion…
Very disappointed we didn’t get to see Tom’s Celt impersonation. Always a treat.
In Portugal and Galicia, there is some ruins of the "Castros", celtic city-fortress.
Thank you Tom! Great video
Can you imagine living in the Iron Age and then hearing the following words being shouted in panicked voices:
THE MILK DRINKERS ARE COMING! THE MILK DRINKERS ARE COMING! THEY BRING THE EVILS OF LACTOSE-TOLERANCE!
Hello Mr. Jive, quick question. Wanted to know if you knew of any organizations trying to worship the celtic deities in an historical authentic manner. I know the information we have on this is a little less than the germanic sources. I want develop a ritual practice, but don't know where to start. Lots of new age nonsense comes up when you try to find some historical things to do. Cheers, and great video.
Personaly I think hill forts were designed to protect againt animal attack as much as human attack. They had to deal with wolves and bears.
