I loved the film as well! 🥰 I first watched the film and then started my research afterwards. Loved the portrayal of everything and the entire vibe was spot on!
I had no idea there was a book or a movie. I don't indulge in average human activity. I prefer reality. My heartfelt gratitude to you, Kayleigh, for providing a good share of that reality. 😊
I did watch the movie but your video was a marvelous accurate clarification of an amazing discovery. Isn't it remarkable how much we really don't know about the ancient past. Thank you Kayleigh.
Sutton Hoo has never lost its fascination for me; I rediscover it every decade or so, it seems. Your cover of it here, relative to the movie, is very good and I thank you for it!
Thank you so much! It absolutely captivated me, i had to cut down my script for the video not to become too long haha ☺️ hopefully i will see it one day, it's magnificent 🥰
Loved this video. I don't think I'd ever been able to see the collection of grave goods before. How to make the best of a popular topic by making it more substantial.
What a fantastic overview of the real story as well as the movie. The BBC used to make programmes as good as this. You have a perfect narrator’s voice too. Thank you.
I have reenacted at Sutton Hoo a number of. May I recommend the Sutton Hoo themed videos on the Northworthy Sagas and Stories channel here on TH-cam. Also the Masked Poem on the NSS channel, which features a visual montage of Vendel/ Migration Period warriors at West Stow Anglo Saxon village, where we will be appearing in a couple of months' time.
The inlay work is exquisite! One of the most exciting archeological finds ever. To my mind, anyway. Sorry to hear your renovations are a pain at the moment. Hugs n scritches to the kitties. Hang in there,and look to the light at the end of the remodel! ✌️🐱
Yeah eventually it's gonna be okay, but it's currently tough. We can't progress at the moment but we will be patient and pull through. The finds from Sutton Hoo were among the most beautiful i have ever seen❤️
I was going to watch the movie but then TH-cam suggested this channel which I ended up binging instead. :D It's refreshing with a history channel which doesn't focus on war.
Just finished the movie about an hour ago... Went down the rabbit hole on the Sutton Hoo Treasure. This video was great on the what really happened. Thanks for making it! Liked and subbed. You deserve more viewers!
I DID see the movie, months before I subscribed to Kayleigh's channel, I really appreciate her showing the beautiful artifacts which are breath-taking, and also that she took the time to contrast the movie with real life. I wonder whom was buried there, for sure a rich burial, also I have never heard of men and women being cremated along with animals that is new to me. Always learn something from our Royal Historian! I love how she does the music, it always fits the theme and is the perfect volume, it adds and does not distract. Well done, you can tell that she puts a lot of effort into her presentations.
Such an excellent video, so thorough and well researched, and somehow you managed to comment on the beauty and creativity of the artifacts but stayed completely unbiased. Great work!
Hey Kayleigh, it’s been so long since I was at the cinema. Now I want to go just so I can see this movie, faults and all, it sounds good. That belt buckle with all those designs was amazing as were the other finds. I’m pleased they were restored and donated for the public to view, rather than a private collection. Stay Safe and warm 👍💓🌈🐱
My mom watched the movie through a streamlink since she doesn't have Netflix, you can send me a message on Patron so i can ask her for the link to make you able to watch this movie 🥰 The artefacts are the most gorgeous I've ever seen😍 I'll be traveling to the British museum in a few years to see them with my own eyes 🤗 Stay safe 💕❤️🥰
Your attention to the post WWII digs were very unexpected, This search came up empty until I found your video..... I knew there had to be more at Sutton Hoo!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I watched the movie in hopes of hearing the story of wonderful treasures being discovered, only to be let down by the ending of the movie. Thank you so much. This video should be a supplement to the movie
I loved making this video, at first it really did not perform well and that made me quite sad haha, but the movie was lovely. I just wanted to share the real story with anyone who's interested 🥰
wow Kayleigh , you certainly pack some information into your videos , i haven't watched the film or heard much about this find before , i need to do some research now . great video too ,i like your style so i'll be back for more .
The king in the main chamber must have been some man to be given that type of send off A lot of resources and time + cost😵 Once again another great video ☺️
A most informative history/archaeology lesion! Thanks for making it so interesting, too - one of the better ones I've seen and these are about the only kind I care to watch. Happy trails, Kayleigh.
hi, Kayleigh! gonna try this again. the comment i posted on the 28th has completely disappeared! whats up with that? oh, well. ssooo, Sutton Hoo is fascinating! the workmanship of the artefacts is exquisite! and the burial methods are mysteriously interesting. i have often wondered just what was in their minds as they laid their folks to rest. were their beliefs similar to Egypts? i.e. things needed in afterlife buried with them. or, maybe, just including the treasures they prised out of respect. maybe both, more or less. we'll never know, for sure. great story and excellent, sometimes stunning, visuals! aaannddd, it's lovely to see you again, my friend. more on discord.
Hey Floyd! TH-cam has been a bit weird lately haha, thankfully you aren't fazed easily 😉 It's an absolute incredible location, the burial methods and artefacts point to a strong belief in a possible afterlife, at least that's my personal opinion. I do believe the person laid to rest in mound 1 was of the highest in a societal hierarchy, the golden artefacts were of too good quality. Only befitting of a king.
@@HistoryWithKayleigh yea, i do believe you are right, m'lady👸 the treasures in this tomb are too magnificent to have belonged to just anyone🤴. and, most likely, they did believe in the afterlife. but, i have always had a compulsion to try to see all sides of an issue. frustrating sometimes, but a somewhat useful strategem in relations with people. sssooo, perhaps, the honor and respect they had for their kings dictated the burial of such fine goods. just the helmet or sword would have been worth a "kings ransom" in those days🤣 who knows, there could have been a taboo about using other warriors weapons and gear. might've thot the spirit of the wielder somehow resided in such things. most likely the afterlife theory, i must admit. most ancient cultures had some form of that belief👳♂️🧝♂️
if you were to feast like a king in the afterlife you sure need silver bowls, silver spoons, and your gold and garnet inlaid pieces to look your best 😝 At least if i was a Queen in the afterlife i wouldn't want to look ordinary 😂

It's only been a few days since being absolutely intrigued by watching the beautiful film "The Dig" and have since been absorbing everything possible relating to the actual events and archaeology portrayed in this story. I was intrigued because this story seems so typical in the wonderful world of archeology - the collaborative and sometimes conflictive interpretations of evidence based on the often "absence of evidence vs evidence of absence" controversies prompted by the even more often academic elitism vs practical experimentation. Thank you for your compelling insights. cheers👍
Another great program Kayleigh . Typical the movie producers don't stick to the facts. Its great you do though showing the facts in an interesting way.
Has the analysis of the iron rivets and wood fragments become available yet? The last press release l read suggested that the results were known but the time was not right to share the information. Fascinating video Kayleigh, Edith Pretty was a very dedicated lady to the unearthing of this find 😍.
Still catching up on your past videos. It’s bugged me since Day 1 what was both interesting and different about your channel. I must be subscribed to 20 ancient history channels. All are informative and really bright people who put them together. But I think with your channel you’ve gone in some cases in a direction that I knew nothing about. I hate to keep using the “Ancient Air Conditioning” video as an example, but that was one of the first of your videos I watched and got hooked. It brings back memories of an 8th grade Social Studies teacher I had that spent and entire month on the Inca, Maya and Aztec. Up to that point I didn’t know where the library at our school was. Next I’m checking out 4 or 5 books on anything I could find on the above three. You’ve found some stuff no one else has mentioned, or I’ve never heard about. That’s hard to do in this day and age.
Really liked the grave goods, especially that first buckle. If my name were Indiana Jones that whole find would be mine I don't care if it belongs in a museum. You should have some replicas to made for your merch store. I'd take a shirt that has a print of that belt buckle turned on its side for the back and your logo on the front please whenever you get a chance
Thank you Kayleigh for that well-crafted video worthy of the extraordinary inlaid objects which I've been fortunate to see with my own eyes at the British Museum. Watching The Dig and at the same time studying the puzzle on Giza and stone remains throughout the world I was struck by two interesting thoughts or possibilities. 1) Sutton Hoo was covered up when war was declared in Sept 1939 because the Luftwaffe was coming. What if Gobekltepe was covered up ca 9600 BC (place your bets -- that's Uncle Critias date for the Atlantic Facade going under the waves, though 10800 is more like the Younger Dryas comet impact) because the people at that time knew a massive threat was coming? What was it and how did they know? Horsemen from the Steppe? Cosmic Luftwaffe from the sky? Either way, since the site was never uncovered (not till now) those who buried it either didn't survive the 'invasion/attack' or they did but the monument no longer pointed in the right direction. (That is my bet.) They were artificial horizons for stargazing as I believe Stonehenge is/was. The other thought was what if Khufu was an invader like Sutton Hoo? He was buried in the boat, and long gone, which is why no mummy has ever been found in the pyramids -- which were not tombs. (A rant for another occasion.) Herodotus makes the curious observation that the Egyptians hated Khufu and Khafre and could not even stand to mention their names. How could this be if they built such a great monument to themselves? The Athenians didn't hate Pericles. We don't hate JFK for putting us on the moon. Khufu was thus an invader. I think he was Cecrops (sounds like Cheops), but this too is a rant for another occasion. Thank you again. for your fastidious work. HH
Great video, despite the heavy dutch accent, which only really caught me out with your pronunciation of cenotaph. You should try listening to a native English speaker pronounce cenotaph. Any video of the UK First World War Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph in London will have plenty of examples.
It catches my attention that among the objects in the treasure there is a lyre. A thousand years before, and at quite a long distance (I am referring to the southwest of Iberia in the Tartessian area), the lyre was also a common element which is represented among important dead people. I observe coincidences between cultures belonging to both areas. My idea is that these similarities are due to a common origin of both of them in Scandinavia. Now, what I would like to know is what underlying reason there is for this musical instrument, the lyre, to be one of the frequent elements accompanying the deceased. I would like to hear comments about this topic. I would appreciate it.
I'll write it down for future videos 🤗 any structures that you think are most well known? Or the oldest maybe, i either go from old to new or well known to unknown 🤗
I love you and your approach Kay. Not being big headed or pitching my self as i HATE that, just suggesting you should check out my work .... thats all. take care & hope you break down many doors i haven`t yet
Thank you so much! I've seen some of your work in the past, i recognize at least a couple thumbnails but i have to admit it's been a while. Thank you for being so kind 🙂 I just started last year and i have quite a ways to go to even slightly get to a planet of where you and others already are, but it's better to start late than never start at all i think 🤭 I'm currently editing a video about the Voynich Manuscript, but once I'm done i will for sure kick back and watch some of your stuff 🤗 Hope you have an amazing day 🥰
@@HistoryWithKayleigh that is so humble and Honest of you Kayleigh and so i, if there`s one thing i hate is being big headed & lying - traits my wife of 32 years detests more than me BEING A WOMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!. I noticed you over the suggested section which never catches my attention normally, but your channels name and subject matter did the trick - which i`m so pleased with now, you`ve stated your new to this topic so dont let anybody stand in your way or misdirect__lead astray which happens too much for my liking, its your journey and one we all had to begin. I`m no one special - just someone with discernment and common sense able to direct everything into a topic i`ve loved for wanting answers to & real answers to my whole life. hope this helps & you will hear more from me as i subscribed earlier
I'll try my best to keep you entertained then 🤗 I'm learning as i go, and hopefully i get to learn loads more haha 🤭 Who knows, maybe one day I'll get to a place of being able to create alongside like-minded people on the platform 🥰 For now I'm really happy with my little corner on the internet, and hey, apparently i did something right in catching your eye 🥰
I am taking your advice on 'the dig' movie. The musical instrument reconstructed from this dig labelled Anglo-Saxon lyre is a myth! It is obviously a Crywth , look online and decide for yourself, the fretboard is missing. You have musical talent.
Bird of prey swooping on a duck-like beast: It's an elephant on the duck. That's totally an elephant. I don't know how that happened but it's no bird, no wings.
Curious to hear how you did not notice how the film portrayed Professor W F Grimes as a very presentable Asian man, when in actual fact he was indeed a very presentable Welsh man all be it with perfect Queen's English and not a trace of welsh accent. I only state these facts because you made comparisons between the other characters in film and their real life counterparts.
Movie would the americanzed Hollywood treatment of historical records. Everything is loosely based with massive amounts of artistic licences selling merchandise. Piggott is also name of a construction company based in Hamilton Ontario. One of the nicer old buildings downtown.
Excellent presentation of the facts. Wish the movie was more Raiders of the Lost Ark and less Downtown Abbey. Over reliance on what were fictional relationships took away from the importance of this find. And thought Lily James portrayal of Piggy Piggott was insulting and sexist.
Absolutely yes 🤗 it garnered most of its popularity during the time when Edith Pretty came in contact with it. It has changed quite a bit as we can barely envision a seance happening in our day and age, but we still have paranormal investigations and such 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Used to do readings, both online and for people at the local New Age shop... Been a while though. Have you explored other techniques? There is a sense about you of... hmmm... You're not someone who just plays at things.
I don't indeed just play at things 🤗 My mom used to be very Spiritual, still is just not active in spiritual communities anymore. I grew up with it surrounding me, and that does have an effect and makes me respect it. But I'm also a lot like my dad, very realistic. Sometimes I'm torn between the two sides that make me who I am haha. I don't use my card too often, but when I do i dive in deep 🤗
This is so wrong! referring to the Sutton Hoo finds as "English" as to be deliberate madness? you only have to look at the detail, which Authorities totally overlook deliberately :- 1. the Iron bolds used to construct the ship, English/Saxons used wooden pegs while "British" used iron bolts. 2. the mask itself, the work is described as fine English workmanship, but it looks more like British workmanship than Saxon, the Mustache is a givaway, Saxons sported Beards but lots of Britons had Mustaches. 3. the golden spoons have writing on them, it is the Coelbren Alphbet, British, while the Saxons were illiterate.
1 what anglo saxon ship are you comparing this one to, to compare the bolts as this size ship is unique 2 the helmet has clear parallels to vendel helmets from Sweden, the Angles were from Denmark and the ruling family of East Anglia were the Wuffingas who were also a tribe in Sweden 3 proof the AS had only beards? 4 the spoons had Latin on them being traded or diplomatic gifts , by this time 625 AD they were converting to Christianity and had priests in their courts. Cheers
Because during the time these things were created that were found in the grave it was Byzantium, making it Byzantium ware. Later on it became Constantinople, but their ware looks different. It was one way of identifying the age of the goods found
@@HistoryWithKayleigh that's incorrect. New Rome, A.k.a. Constantinople was founded by Constantine (it's namesake) in the 300's on the site of Byzantium (which iirc was essentially an abandoned town). Within Constantine's lifetime (iirc) it became known as Constantinople.
Byzantium (/bɪˈzæntiəm, -ʃəm/) or Byzantion (Greek: Βυζάντιον) was an ancient Greek city in classical antiquity that became known as Constantinople in late antiquity and Istanbul today. The Greek name Byzantion and its Latinization Byzantium continued to be used as a name of Constantinople sporadically and to varying degrees during the thousand year existence of the Byzantine Empire. Byzantium was colonized by the Greeks from Megara in 657 BC, and remained primarily Greek-speaking until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in AD 1453.
@@HistoryWithKayleigh this adds nothing to the discussion. It was renamed/refounded by Constantine. I don't know what else to tell you. Just read the wikipedia article. The greeks that founded the original city Byzantium were 600 before Christ. The Saxons of Sutton Hoo were 600 after Christ. I assure you 100% that the city was known as Constantinople during the time of the Saxons in England.

You shouldn't be reading from your phone or cue cards doing the video. Beyond amateurish. Look more into it, there is so much more you're missing. HOW the pieces were made. WHO could have made them. WHEN were the pieces actually made. WHAT techniques were available for making said pieces. WHERE did they actualy come from, other possibilities. And WHY were they buried with them in the first place. ARE THERE OTHER TREASURES VERY SIMILAR TO HOO? You can start with The Stratfordshire hoard treasure, King Chidrics treasure, just to name a few. The puzzle is vast, Sutton Hoo is just the start.
Oh sorry, you're right. I should memorize all my information every week for each video cause that's how they do it in documentaries as well right? They don't have a teleprompter right next to the camera In fact they do, and just because i had an editing error doesn't mean I'm any less professional. Then again this video is from months ago, I'm only human and i make weekly content
@@coragypsatratus6157 at least she admits she doesn't really know what she's talking about. Nor do you. Regurgitating Wikipedia and basically plagiarizing other people's work is actually easy. You'd think you'd take some time to familiarize yourself with their literature before hitting the record button. But I guess if you don't understand the information, you'd probably want to read cue cards like she does. An original thought wouldn't hurt either. Keyboard warriors like yourself should come out of Mommy's basement once in a while.

1) Sutton Hoo was covered up when war was declared in Sept 1939 because the Luftwaffe was coming. What if Gobekltepe was covered up ca 9600 BC (place your bets -- that's Uncle Critias date for the Atlantic Facade going under the waves, though 10800 is more like the Younger Dryas comet impact) because the people at that time knew a massive threat was coming? What was it and how did they know? Horsemen from the Steppe? Cosmic Luftwaffe from the sky? Either way, since the site was never uncovered (not till now) those who buried it either didn't survive the 'invasion/attack' or they did but the monument no longer pointed in the right direction. (That is my bet.) They were artificial horizons for stargazing as I believe Stonehenge is/was.
The other thought was what if Khufu was an invader like Sutton Hoo? He was buried in the boat, and long gone, which is why no mummy has ever been found in the pyramids -- which were not tombs. (A rant for another occasion.)
Herodotus makes the curious observation that the Egyptians hated Khufu and Khafre and could not even stand to mention their names. How could this be if they built such a great monument to themselves? The Athenians didn't hate Pericles. We don't hate JFK for putting us on the moon. Khufu was thus an invader. I think he was Cecrops (sounds like Cheops), but this too is a rant for another occasion.
Thank you again. for your fastidious work. HH
Love this comment, I'll be looking into it more later after the soccer match 🥰
Thank you.
Great video, despite the heavy dutch accent, which only really caught me out with your pronunciation of cenotaph. You should try listening to a native English speaker pronounce cenotaph. Any video of the UK First World War Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph in London will have plenty of examples.
It catches my attention that among the objects in the treasure there is a lyre. A thousand years before, and at quite a long distance (I am referring to the southwest of Iberia in the Tartessian area), the lyre was also a common element which is represented among important dead people. I observe coincidences between cultures belonging to both areas. My idea is that these similarities are due to a common origin of both of them in Scandinavia. Now, what I would like to know is what underlying reason there is for this musical instrument, the lyre, to be one of the frequent elements accompanying the deceased. I would like to hear comments about this topic. I would appreciate it.
Make video on Indus valley civilization please
I'll write it down for future videos 🤗 any structures that you think are most well known? Or the oldest maybe, i either go from old to new or well known to unknown 🤗
Ok❤
Great...!
I love you and your approach Kay.
Not being big headed or pitching my self as i HATE that, just suggesting you should check out my work .... thats all.
take care & hope you break down many doors i haven`t yet
Thank you so much! I've seen some of your work in the past, i recognize at least a couple thumbnails but i have to admit it's been a while.
Thank you for being so kind 🙂
I just started last year and i have quite a ways to go to even slightly get to a planet of where you and others already are, but it's better to start late than never start at all i think 🤭
I'm currently editing a video about the Voynich Manuscript, but once I'm done i will for sure kick back and watch some of your stuff 🤗
Hope you have an amazing day 🥰
@@HistoryWithKayleigh that is so humble and Honest of you Kayleigh and so i, if there`s one thing i hate is being big headed & lying - traits my wife of 32 years detests more than me BEING A WOMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!.
I noticed you over the suggested section which never catches my attention normally, but your channels name and subject matter did the trick - which i`m so pleased with now, you`ve stated your new to this topic so dont let anybody stand in your way or misdirect__lead astray which happens too much for my liking, its your journey and one we all had to begin.
I`m no one special - just someone with discernment and common sense able to direct everything into a topic i`ve loved for wanting answers to & real answers to my whole life.
hope this helps & you will hear more from me as i subscribed earlier
I'll try my best to keep you entertained then 🤗 I'm learning as i go, and hopefully i get to learn loads more haha 🤭
Who knows, maybe one day I'll get to a place of being able to create alongside like-minded people on the platform 🥰
For now I'm really happy with my little corner on the internet, and hey, apparently i did something right in catching your eye 🥰
I am taking your advice on 'the dig' movie.
The musical instrument reconstructed from this dig labelled Anglo-Saxon lyre is a myth!
It is obviously a Crywth , look online and decide for yourself, the fretboard is missing.
You have musical talent.
Bird of prey swooping on a duck-like beast: It's an elephant on the duck. That's totally an elephant. I don't know how that happened but it's no bird, no wings.
😍😍😍😍
Curious to hear how you did not notice how the film portrayed Professor W F Grimes as a very presentable Asian man, when in actual fact he was indeed a very presentable Welsh man all be it with perfect Queen's English and not a trace of welsh accent. I only state these facts because you made comparisons between the other characters in film and their real life counterparts.
👍
Movie would the americanzed Hollywood treatment of historical records. Everything is loosely based with massive amounts of artistic licences selling merchandise. Piggott is also name of a construction company based in Hamilton Ontario. One of the nicer old buildings downtown.
Just sub & liked😁🙂👋🙏
Thank you & welcome to my corner of the internet 🥰
Excellent presentation of the facts. Wish the movie was more Raiders of the Lost Ark and less Downtown Abbey. Over reliance on what were fictional relationships took away from the importance of this find. And thought Lily James portrayal of Piggy Piggott was insulting and sexist.
Spiritualism is still popular... In the form of the Paranormalist movement.
Absolutely yes 🤗 it garnered most of its popularity during the time when Edith Pretty came in contact with it. It has changed quite a bit as we can barely envision a seance happening in our day and age, but we still have paranormal investigations and such 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh For those who seek, there is definitely something to find... And when you find it - your life is changed thereafter.
I love my tarot cards and my oracle deck. I don't use them too often, but it always gives me a sense of peace when I do 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Used to do readings, both online and for people at the local New Age shop... Been a while though. Have you explored other techniques? There is a sense about you of... hmmm... You're not someone who just plays at things.
I don't indeed just play at things 🤗
My mom used to be very Spiritual, still is just not active in spiritual communities anymore.
I grew up with it surrounding me, and that does have an effect and makes me respect it.
But I'm also a lot like my dad, very realistic. Sometimes I'm torn between the two sides that make me who I am haha.
I don't use my card too often, but when I do i dive in deep 🤗

This is so wrong! referring to the Sutton Hoo finds as "English" as to be deliberate madness? you only have to look at the detail, which Authorities totally overlook deliberately :- 1. the Iron bolds used to construct the ship, English/Saxons used wooden pegs while "British" used iron bolts. 2. the mask itself, the work is described as fine English workmanship, but it looks more like British workmanship than Saxon, the Mustache is a givaway, Saxons sported Beards but lots of Britons had Mustaches. 3. the golden spoons have writing on them, it is the Coelbren Alphbet, British, while the Saxons were illiterate.
1 what anglo saxon ship are you comparing this one to, to compare the bolts as this size ship is unique 2 the helmet has clear parallels to vendel helmets from Sweden, the Angles were from Denmark and the ruling family of East Anglia were the Wuffingas who were also a tribe in Sweden 3 proof the AS had only beards? 4 the spoons had Latin on them being traded or diplomatic gifts , by this time 625 AD they were converting to Christianity and had priests in their courts. Cheers
Ps no British ship of this size has been found either, I an Anglo Celtic so have no bias cheers
Why do people insist on referring to Constantinople as Byzantium. Irritating
Because during the time these things were created that were found in the grave it was Byzantium, making it Byzantium ware.
Later on it became Constantinople, but their ware looks different.
It was one way of identifying the age of the goods found
@@HistoryWithKayleigh that's incorrect. New Rome, A.k.a. Constantinople was founded by Constantine (it's namesake) in the 300's on the site of Byzantium (which iirc was essentially an abandoned town). Within Constantine's lifetime (iirc) it became known as Constantinople.
Byzantium (/bɪˈzæntiəm, -ʃəm/) or Byzantion (Greek: Βυζάντιον) was an ancient Greek city in classical antiquity that became known as Constantinople in late antiquity and Istanbul today. The Greek name Byzantion and its Latinization Byzantium continued to be used as a name of Constantinople sporadically and to varying degrees during the thousand year existence of the Byzantine Empire. Byzantium was colonized by the Greeks from Megara in 657 BC, and remained primarily Greek-speaking until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in AD 1453.
@@HistoryWithKayleigh this adds nothing to the discussion. It was renamed/refounded by Constantine. I don't know what else to tell you. Just read the wikipedia article.
The greeks that founded the original city Byzantium were 600 before Christ. The Saxons of Sutton Hoo were 600 after Christ.
I assure you 100% that the city was known as Constantinople during the time of the Saxons in England.
@@HistoryWithKayleigh also. Late antiquity is the end of the Western Roman Empire. The Saxons didn't move in until after late antiquity

Never seen the film. I only watch Penguin Hockey on tv. Everything else is mostly junk or designed to lie to me.
Penguin hockey?

Incredible boring
Machine like commentary .Apart from that interesting content
probably say peggy was black
You shouldn't be reading from your phone or cue cards doing the video. Beyond amateurish. Look more into it, there is so much more you're missing. HOW the pieces were made. WHO could have made them. WHEN were the pieces actually made. WHAT techniques were available for making said pieces. WHERE did they actualy come from, other possibilities. And WHY were they buried with them in the first place. ARE THERE OTHER TREASURES VERY SIMILAR TO HOO? You can start with The Stratfordshire hoard treasure, King Chidrics treasure, just to name a few. The puzzle is vast, Sutton Hoo is just the start.
Oh sorry, you're right. I should memorize all my information every week for each video cause that's how they do it in documentaries as well right?
They don't have a teleprompter right next to the camera
In fact they do, and just because i had an editing error doesn't mean I'm any less professional.
Then again this video is from months ago, I'm only human and i make weekly content
@@coragypsatratus6157 at least she admits she doesn't really know what she's talking about. Nor do you. Regurgitating Wikipedia and basically plagiarizing other people's work is actually easy. You'd think you'd take some time to familiarize yourself with their literature before hitting the record button. But I guess if you don't understand the information, you'd probably want to read cue cards like she does. An original thought wouldn't hurt either. Keyboard warriors like yourself should come out of Mommy's basement once in a while.
Thank you.
