Absolutely fascinating. The only thing I don't like is that after I'm dead they'll solve some of these questions, and then come up with new and even more fascinating ones. 😊
The railings by the planters used to have what we called the vw ramp. 3 half pipes that looked like a vw, I remember when they were taken away. The men said they will probably build swings in their place, that was c1990'ish. The ramps were definitely still there in 1989.
Putting swords into lake mud (actually clays) is not a religious casting of a weapon to some lake god/goddess. It is one of the best anti-oxidative soils where swords can be buried, but also out of sight. Clay layers are a known sealant in water ponds etc. Clay is water-repellant, and can't seep through - as silt and sands with greater particle size will have water seepage through their more-porous material. Clay by geological terms is particles that are smaller than 0.002 millimeters or 0.00007874016 inches = 8/100,000ths of an inch and smaller ! Definitely, a damp-applied clay covering dried into a dry covering around a sword. This is then pushed into the lake shoreline bed - and would be safe, secure, and long-term preservative method. Outside human shelters, moist housing, rain, wind, weather, oxidative air, ... rapidly oxidizes cast iron, or higher quality iron compositions. So bury it, and you don't have to constantly be cleaning and polishing your table silverware etc.
Thanks for posting. This, needless to say, was not taught in my meager year of intro geology courses in college. The legend of Excalibur coming from a lake makes a bit more sense in this context.
I'm proven wrong, this type of story keeps occurring and there's never any smoke with out fire., and lots of different groups of people tell the same story, so it's definitely true.👍
Very interesting Where I’m from in the upper Tweed valley there are clusters of multiple hill forts but the farming land isn’t particularly good and it’s very hilly.I can’t see where the population comes from to build unless there was organised movement of people.Makes you think
It depends on what you are growing...grapes and some fruit trees like growing on the slopes of hills and there are cool climate varieties that don't do well in hotter areas.
We’re too far north for grapes ,the soil is vey poor and the valleys are narrow with very steep hills. There must have been some cooperation between groups
From the Roman Villa: 3 artifacts out of over 1000 being enough to say it is a birthing center because they reference different versions of the mother goddess? Sorry, the brothel still sounds more likely because brothels are populated by women (and slaves) and in an era where household shrines were a given, there are going to be symbols of the mother goddess. What's more likely, brothels disposing of unwanted babies in a location along a track between the river and a town or a "birthing center" in the middle of nowhere during an era when most women didn't travel away from their home because they were caring for children and working in fields if they were normal people or lounging in their villa and have slaves and a midwife on hand if they are Roman?
Yes, the 'where's the brothel's customer base' problem is equally faced by the birthing centre. Where do all the mothers producing that number of babies come from? It seems much more likely that the travelling was mostly being done by workers and military the overwhelming majority of which would be men. And the potential bottleneck of the ford makes an ideal place to locate a, er, service industry.
Also the Roman prostitutes and non prostitutes in Italy got rid of unwanted babies by exposure, they took the babies and left them to die in an allocated place, so these skeletons could have been such babies left to die of exposure....
A sea food diet wasn’t just a Viking diet, it was an everyone’s diet that lived by the sea right down to the most recent time. Fish pulled from the ocean was fairly free. You just go out and get it. No prepping the land or anything like that. So most around the water fished.
Viking teeth would have been no different to teeth in Britain. Espescially when you consider that sugar did not arrive in Britain until the 11th, and then only to the very wealthy. Honey would have been the main sweetning source for Britain and Europe.
Having the British Bronze Age to Iron Age turnover (as said) in the 900s BCE, shows a very clear and problematic timeline. The first Mideast documented ironworks were at the Anatolian Catal Huyuk of the Hyksos empire 1,220 BCE. This is followed in quick succession by an iron Egyptian statue, dated in the same time period, on display in the Cairo Museum. Even Tutanhkamon's meteorite iron sword/spear was in the mid-1250s BCE ... before the metallurgical evolution from bronze (copper-tin alloy) to base-smelted iron. Having the British Iron Age evolve some 320 years later than the Midwest metallurgical technology appears to truly be in some greater reality in error. Lets even give some 100 years later than the Mideast evolution, that would still put the Iron Age evolution in Britain at 1,120 BCE. A challenge ! Go back in history, and it is entirely possible that the British Iron Age WAS THE FIRST evolved metallurgical area (having all the iron mines (and western Europe), then exported into Europe, Anatolia, Egypt, and Mideast. There are no actual known ancient iron mines in the greater Mideast, even in the Greek and Roman empire periods. A huge-sized English publication Barrington's Atlas (?) showing all of the roads, cities, mines etc. in that period from archaeology and historical records of the Grecian and Roman times, only shows the Tishbite copper mines (Elijah the Tishbite) of the Petra region of Jordan, even back to the time of King Solomon. No mines, thus no metallurgy, but being an imported technology. This gives Britain the real heads-up on metallurgical technology. So British archaeology, needs to reconsider the dates of the British Bronze Age (Mideast dates ~3,300 - 1,220 BCE) and British Iron Age far older than documented at (1,220 BCE - onwards).
Even the mention of looking for ancient iron mines in Europe gives NO such locations, as any iron mines can only be said to be in the 1200s CE and later. That is a vast stretch of land, with no mines, including Anatolia, in which iron mines, and iron metallurgy could happen. Britain appears as the greater origin and evolving technology than that of Europe and the fabled Mideast Mesopotamian Fertile Crescent super powers. It is also the legendary British Cornish tin mines, during the Roman Empire, where they got their tin for their continued use of bronze (copper-tin alloy) weapons, etc. There is much mis-history that should be corrected about superior civilizations of Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Mideast, than what should be rightfully stated as British Isles. Of anything of natural resources that empires like to plunder from other satellite nations, metals and metal industries (associated with agricultural tools and military weapons ...) would be a high value target. Is the real reason for the Julius Caesar Roman invasion of Britain for sequestering the British island's natural resources of lead, copper, zinc, brass (copper-zinc), tin, bronze (copper-tin), silver, and iron mines and their associated industrial smelting and metallurgy operations ??? !!!! Think about it !!! It has more logical truths than admitted by historians and archaeologists !!!
Answer the strategies (and defenses) of Iron Age Hill forts of 500 BCE etc. There are no known invasions of other peoples into the British-Welsh Celtic island group. So why have forts, and defensive ramparts, unless YOUR island is a source of advanced technologies, and you are looking at Scandinavia (like later Vikings and Norse came down), over Gauls/French/Anglo-Saxons/Danes/Vikings/Norse/Normans crossing the British Channel from Normandy to Dover and claim lands. Why have hill forts (for observation) in those ancient pasts - unless you had warring inter-island conflicts, but this mostly relates to food stuffs, agriculture, livestock, and what engineering and technologies you are able to evolve in your location of civilization. Iron Age hill forts scattered all over the place, makes it appear like much of William the Conqueror putting castles all over the landscape of England, Wales, northern Ireland, and Dublin down to King John's day of 1200 CE. There is a hidden British history here that European historians are vastly censuring ancient truths and archaeological mis-datings. The British Iron Age Hill Fort civilizations could be as far back as (and even more-ancient metallurgy industrial technologies earlier than) 1,220 BCE !!!

Do Brits consider the usually agreed on vowel sounds a matter of personal choice? I’m bewildered at the average Brit’s inability to pronounce the vowel sounds of the letter, “o”. Just saying the word “no” will usually illicit a litany of strained or lazy renditions of what should be a straightforward proclamation in the negative. “No” then becomes “noi”, “nigh” and sometimes “nigh-uh”. Also, equally bemusing, is the addition of extra letters at the end of the majority of words ending in the letter/vowel “a”. For instance. When speaking the female name, “Sara”, a Brit’s knee jerk reaction is to add the letters, “er”, at the end of the girl’s name and thus resulting in, “Sare-er”. Why? Are vowels a different creature on the other side of the pond?
In the UK the local accent changes every 50 miles or even less.... Hardly anyone speaks the Queens English as you seem to be referring to , it's only the very upper class who speaks like that..... I don't understand your complaint as you must know that very different regional accents are all across the UK and some accents like Glaswegian, Cornish and Northern Irish for example can be hard for even other British people to understand..... You also have various different accents in the USA .... Many Americans don't seem to use the letter T in certain words, you say Moun'n instead of Mountain and black Americans can't seem to say Ask, they say Aks.... And whilst we are on the subject why have you guys taken letters out of English words like Honor / Honour, Harbor / Harbour etc ... Tamayto / Tomaato, Potayto / Potaato as the old song says...
