FWIW, there is a technical error at 12:37, where you say "all radio masts would broadcast the same frequency. Radio masts cannot change frequency in the short term -- the frequency they broadcast depends on the length of the aerial. What you mean is that all channels would remain at their normal frequencies, but would broadcast the same programme.
@GuthlacYT7 күн бұрын
No - they would change frquency. The changing of frequencies would be one of the arrangements made when the country went onto high alert. The last broadcasts made on old frequencies would be an announcement of the frequency to which people would need to tune their radios (with as you point out ample time to allow for this to be done)

30:47 "Entirely by accident" how insulting! Polynesian voyages are evidently highly calculated and ritualised. Knowledge and skills passed down the generations, instructions and astronomical observations poeticised in songs and incantations employed to farewell the dead as eulogies serve white people poroporoaki do as well as transmit ancestral star lore pertaining to the seasons and navigation. Mythologies immortalise revered ancestors and inform a worldview that instructs practical application of preserved wisdom. The abuse of knowledge is mitigated by strict protocol. Polynesian culture is a meticulously well oiled machine with built in safeguards optimised over millennia of waananga (communal planning, knowledge exchange) and tirotiro (observation) compounding by a sophisticated system of intergenerational knowledge transfer characterised by oral traditions and arts Polynesian culture developed into a complex superstructure of ritualistic practices. I use the term ritual because everything in their universe had its origins with one or more atua (gods) who imbued in these things, places and practices degrees of tapu (sacredness / restrictions) that command a protocol for interaction lest the tapu of the thing, place or practice be violated to some degree and the atua associated with it take retribution. Its a worldview with a strict order tho to its merit highly contextual and adaptive. The order is based on seniority of descent in relation to the ira atua (race of gods) and this seniority is measured in tapu and mana, both are intangible supernatural forces requiring a little research to grasp the concepts.

Yes, believe it or not I made the video so I know that the process of practicing these skills was ritualised. But the process of **learning** these skills and making them highly ritualised, was an accident.

I thought navigation also included woven or tied flats of twig in circles concentric to land masses, so that studying swells indicated direction and distance to wave stoppers. Interrupting weather swells.

The Saxons must have KNOWN about the Romans because it was the early Saxons and Jutes that raided late Roman Britian! Perhaps the later, Christian Saxons didn't know about the Romans because the oral lore or tradition didn't focus on the Romans.

Its like the Dashka Stone find in Russia , a millions years pre-human civilization, maybe around the Jurassic Period showing vehicles. One can only think about what that civilization looked like, what their citizens looked like? Does Civilizations happens each x millions years and leave no traces? Are we one of the countless civilizations but think we are the first and only one? That becomes philosophical

"Vanished like a fleet of cloud, Like a passing trumpet-blast, Are those splendors of the past, And the commerce and the crowd! Fathoms deep beneath the seas Lie the ancient wharves and quays, Swallowed by the engulfing waves; Silent streets and vacant halls, Ruined roofs and towers and walls; Hidden from all mortal eyes, Deep the sunken city lies: Even cities have their graves!" - Amalfi, by H.W. Longfellow. Contemplating the ages come and gone before us is truly a timeless part of human life.

Sticky comment answering commonly featured comments. Feel free to still comment some variation of the below, but I won't reply, and you'll look a bit silly. 1. "They knew about the Romans! They arrived when the ruins were still being inhabited!" - Please see at this timestamp: 6:38 - To put the complicated nuances of this argument aside, The Anglo-Saxon period spans 700 years. If you think that some people arriving in 400AD as mercenaries means that people in 600AD, 800AD, or 1000AD had a catalogic understanding of Roman ruins, then I'd love to hear your blow-by-blow account of Waterloo, the English Civil War, and Agincourt without using any books (as, of course, the vast majority of people were illiterate.) 2. "They did what everyone else in the world did - they re-used the building material" - The Anglo-Saxon period is peculiar in that this wasn't the case in secular buildings. Only ten of the hundreds of settlement sites that have been excavated in England from this period have revealed masonry domestic structures. Anglo-Saxon kings' "preference must have been a conscious choice, perhaps an expression of ‘deeply-embedded Germanic identity’ on the part of the Anglo-Saxon royalty" (quote from Michael Shapland's 2013 article, " Meanings of Timber and Stone in Anglo-Saxon Building Practice"). If you're interested in this topic, let me know, and I'll bump this topic up my to-do list as a video in the future. 3. "Please add your sources!" - I'm convinced people ask this question purely to look like they check sources, rather than to actually check them. But I'll outline my method for dealing with sources below. - The sources are on the screen. The primary sources are mentioned on the screen. I don't use secondary sources in this video because this is my musings and thoughts of Anglo-Saxon poetry. But if I did, they would be on the screen. - I don't put this in the description because otherwise the statement is disconnected from the source. If I'm quoting, the quotes and sources are on the screen. - I tend to translate primary sources myself depending on the points I want to communicate, using my own knowledge and a few different copies that I have lying around in my personal collection. For general intrigue, you can find the Old English text and a modern English translation for the two poems below: The Ruin: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ruin Beowulf: heorot.dk/beowulf-rede-text.html Here is a Latin version of Bede: www.thelatinlibrary.com/bede.html

Every Saxon who received church education must knew very well about Roman civilization because Latin works were basis of their intellectual knowledge. They most likely knew that those ruins belonged to the Romans. I think you should have shared what the Saxon primary sources said, not mythological source that proceeds with a symbolic narrative.
@ShaneSchambachАй бұрын
What do you mean when you say that the Anglo-Saxons didn’t know about the Romans?? They quickly repopulated the island right after the last legion abandoned it- or quickly thereafter, in the early 6th century AD. They were Germanic warrior tribes who opposed the Romans, if not the Angles, at least the Saxons. They were there to quickly suppress Roman legacy and culture in the former Britannia. So when you say that the Anglo-Saxons pondered about the ruins they saw, pondering where they came from, how could they not know they had belonged to the civilization they ‘took over’ in Britain? Whose other ruins were they, if not the Romans’? The Britons’?

They thought the exact same thing as the Egyptians who lived in the shadow of the Pyramids millennia after they were built.
