I've found myself twice in my life living within 1 mile of the Antonine Wall - the forgotten "other" wall. Once on the southern side, and once on the northern side.
When you see the image of that Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall you can see that good old Airfix got it pretty right when they put out their Roman Fort playset in the 60s!! Great collection from History Hit - Dr Elliott, Tristan Hughes and Dan Snow - all favourites!
That's because recent DNA evidence strongly indicates that the Anglo Saxons gradually emigrated to Britain over a long period of time, lived alongside the native population who adopted the Anglo Saxons culture. It was not an inundation and overthrow of the existing Social structure as it was during the Roman and Norman periods. In addition to that the language, that was by then Germanic, endured through the Norman conquest and was eventually adopted by the Elites (who spoke a version of Norman French) which is why it remains a Germanic language to this day -although with a percentage of French words that exist alongside the Germanic foundation. That is my understanding at least - after watching loads of YT documentaries.
Very good post and informative in many ways. To go much deeper into this topic, check this out. This book, "Etymology Of Compendiums Of All Gods and the Almighty Creator" by Samuel K. Anderson is a Non-fiction book full of Anthropological,Archeological, Linguistic, Mathematical, Scientific, and Morden-Day Descendants Evidences of the Origin of Everything in our universe, galaxies, and intergalactic realms.
As soon as I heard who is narrating it was over. What’s with the heavy “ssshhh” featured in his first ten words?! Please for the love of history documentaries, stop presenting him as your host! Intolerable.
Serotonius speech: stay alert, stay disciplined and listen to orders and we will overcome.
Serotonius you have just become my new role model.
The video does a great job of balancing the historical narrative with the practical aspects of archaeology.
Informatic documentary
