    As a fan of the channel and someone who grew up in Suffolk, what a brilliant video! Next time I'm in Ipswich I'll be sure to visit the museum and see some of those objects.
    There's an awful lot of history in the area, some of which would have been lost to coastal erosion. Place likes Dunwich (former capital of the area, all but lost to erosion) have always fascinated me as they likely played a far larger role in this period.

    Thank you for the fascinating look at some of these finds. And thank you, also, for referring to this period as 'early medieval' as opposed to 'dark age'. It was a change from the Roman occupation certainly, and it was different from the period following the Norman Conquest; but it's not like the sun went out, or anything - it was just different. And the skill and craftsmanship shown by these objects tells me that life was anything but 'dark'.

      It was Dark in the sense that all the major social and technical advances came from places where the people were way darker. Like the whole Islamic world which from 7th to 9th centuries made astonishing advances in scholarship esp math, medicine, astronomy/navigation, book publication and authorship protection in the arts and sciences, universities, the citation index, ecological conservation etc etc
      In fact the Muslim societies are more advanced in pretty much every way including women's rights until about the Renaissance.

    Pete Kelly. I noticed in the art pieces that you show, some interlacings representing variations of a lying eight. I am a Frank, and in the same period, we had the same kind of interlacings designs in Belgium-France-Switzerland-Italy. I researched them and they were already present in the Sumerian art. I personally think they represent the cords which were holding the tents together.

    While we are very fortunate to find what's left of such long ago times, the average person going about their daily business in 650 AD is illusive. I imagine a mostly hard and laborious time was had, farming and attempting to raise a family. But there must have been an "in between" life, where being in service to a lord other than God, but still attempting to raise a family and participate in community existed.

    This is a awesome discovery! And absolutely beautifully illustrated at its finest...unfortunately it was found at the wrong piece of time to get the fullest recognition that it deserves...hopefully this find will be appreciated to generations to come ..

    Nice, Imagine how different the landscape was back then, Looking at Sutton Hoo on Lidar it was practically on an Island, Just a narrow neck connecting it to the mainland, Reminds me a lot of Skipsea Castle in East Yorkshire too.

    Another nod to the famed winged dragon serpents that are in many ancient civilisations folklore, in Britain’s case it was Wales.

    I have to say that I wish there were not so much frequently repeated video footage. Surely there are archives Mr. Kelly could mine for more useful and insightful videos. The voiceover too was written more for suspense or for creating interest than actual facts. He should take lessons at the feet of Vindolanda, where there is much fascinating detail.

    There is amazingly little information about early medieval Britain available generally. Before the discoveries made at Sutton Hoo that period of British history was written off as a time of darkness and chaos, but these new discoveries have helped change that picture and have increased our knowledge of that era. I'm am throroughly this series on pre- Conquest Britain.

    Hi Pete! I'd like to know more about the comparison of Gold / Garnet decorations between those from Sutton Hoo and the Hoard recently discovered in the last 15 years not far from Sutton Hoo. Are the y related? They would appear to be from the materials chosen and the workmanship and detailing.. Do you know if the ongoing investigations have covered this? Love your stuff. Just bought a Hoodie. See you in Valhalla!

  • @roberttreborable

    Excellent documentary... The decorations on the Sutton Hoo helmet, tell me that life must have continued much the same after the Romans left... I'm reminded that in Japan after the fall of the Samurai the craftsmen who decorated their Armour; (The Art of Chokin), had to find a new market for their craft so started putting their designs on fine pottery... So why wouldn't the craftsmen who decorated Roman Armour just continue to decorate the Armour of their new rules....
