Isn’t it possible that the narrow strips being farmed were used by peasants who had no land rights in the good areas? That that was all that was available?

What is that beast he’s driving? Not the sort of thing that befits a nature reserve.

triffic! tanx!

Shame this video is blighted by the dated 'pizzicato strings' trope of TV music composers. It's so jarring and distracting - the exact opposite of its role..

With the possible disruption or disintegration of our global trade and economies local administration of local food production seems like a good thing to know. We could do well to learn a thing or two from the old monasteries and abbeys -- community living etc.

Love glastonbury one of my favourite places to stay. Been visiting the little town since i was the 80s and still find it an amazingly spiritual place even though its a 3 hour drive from me ❤

If you trace back the history of Wicca/The Cult/Witchcraft you'll see that it is very rooted in conservatism. It was never about making it a cool trendy thing. Witchcraft became a total mess nowadays. I completely agree with what you have said and written here.

Thank you for sharing this. Witchcraft was more genuine in the past tbh.

She's doing all the work while the two guys chat.

Just to clarify since your video editing seem to suggest a forest is a wodded area like today. Its more just an area with specific laws and governance and not to be confused with how we use the term forest today.

Have you looked at the lidar map at the site?

If you fancy crying over When The Wind Blows this Christmas, and you’ve only got 45 minutes to go with to make this thing happening, this is your favourite movie.

Myths and legends are like a broken telephone line - little bits of information are passed down through time and each person adds or takes away their bit depending on their interpretation! Arthur and Merlin are synonymous as being together - the legend says Merlin built Stonehenge and Arthur was from the fifth century? 2,500 years apart?

Terrible

Teash in the vain of ancient aliens, full of "what if's" there are already answers for. Useless 👎

Has anyone done scans?

Thank you Roland. I have walked this path twice and the first thing that struck me was the 'how did this come to be here?' I saw the cobbles in places and guessed at the Roman connection. It is really amazing what is around still if you have the inquisitive mind and open your eyes. Looking forward to seeing the one about the rifle range, Strutt militia I believe.

Is that where they filmed Monty Python?

Adverts every 5 minutes so turned it off

If it were today's BBC making this they would have an overweight foreigner with a speech impediment...

It's such a shame Europeans are such aggressive greedy human beings I always imagine a Europe and indeed a world where societies had moved steadily towards modernity without constantly being attacked and with the deliberate erasure of languages and cultures in the name of colonial avarice

The science, research, unravelling myths and legends, along with written texts were interesting points. But it definitely makes sense with the ploughed levels on The Tor. Wonderfully presented. I have been there so many times. Love Glastonbury with its mysticism, culture and history. A magical place. Unable to explain its vibe. Somerset is beautiful, despite the deluge of rain. That's why it's so green, with its numerous wildlife reserves, temperate rainforests, rock formations, and meandering rivers and Mendip Hills. ❤

7:25 what UK band singer is that ?

I adore Aubrey Manning. The Beeb wouldn’t allow him on nowadays. The Beeb should cease to exist.

I've a picture of Glastonbury Tor completely tree covered. Felled and hauled by snows of bath I think 🤔

At the 3 minute mark, I've surmised that they're terraced battlements to guard a pre Roman era fort. Could I be wrong?

I wonder if the monks were also responsible for removing the forest that covered the Tor in Neolithic times. 🤔

Fantastic. Really well done

Pyramid

The Tor, being one of the peaks I regularly climbed over the decades it is interesting to hear an account of the bumps on the way up as you look out across the surrounding moors. 'Moors' being the name of the surrounding land as you will discover if you look at a map!

One of my favorite animated movies of all time along with “Yellow Submarine.” I’m currently working on a project that takes a lot of cues from this film. I plan on having it finished by December of this year.

When I lived in Glastonbury I took many photos of the Tor during the Winter with snow on the ground,it put a totally different view of the place than you normally see.

War is not the only or most important human activity over prehistory or history. Therefore the terraces are more likely agricultural than defensive.

Thank you for creating it. Watched it after watching threads 👍☢️

The wetlands were probably safer than most other places

Pyramid ❤

Wait Wallace???

Back in the 70's Wayne and Winston Turtle use to come to my parents house and stay with us. I remember sitting in ceremony listening to these songs as a 8 year old! Another uncle was James Waters. Occasionally "Smokey" use to visit from Oklahoma. 😇🙏

When I first saw those terraces I was reminded strongly if terraced ricefields in Indonesia. Makes sense to me.

I live quite locally,so have been many times. Although I won't go any more. Far too many people at all hours of the day and night &they're not nice visitors either. Leaving their cars wherever they want, even in disabled bays &private residential. Please be considerate when you visit tiny, rural places.🕊️But my favourite visit was a winter morning some years ago & there were only a couple of other people, but I counted eleven rainbows around me on all sides. Several of them were double rainbows. It was really beautiful, rainbows in every direction ❤️

Bronze age men terraced hills to drive the flocks of sheep up in times of possible threat of attack and in winter flooding, we have same in Kent, at Folkestone on sugar hill

This is when the BBC made excellent documentaries that weren’t swamped by the radical theories of racial, gender and sexual identity politics. The ones that dominate MSM these days.

A very interesting story. I just looked up the Wikipedia article on her.

I visited Glastonbury Tor on a Mid Summer Night as the Mist decended on the countryside..An Eerie Night that was ...

"It's not like in the films" don't you mean the film? Druids are thin on the ground in film. There's The Wicker Man, Druids (With Christopher Lambert), Vikingdom, and maybe we could include Trance, aka The Eternal.

Religion is all about money. Their big stone piles are all about impressing the locals, most of whom couldn't even read.

Thank you! This is amazing!! My 11 year old loves Vincent Price and his voice - so this is absolutely perfect for him!! Thank you for sharing this ❤❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

Sounds fantastic!
