Wait what, who's complaining about his voice?

[@pumpkinpepsi]

I listened to the whole first episode without hearing anything wrong in his voice. Went to the comments and saw uptalk complainers. He uptalks at commas, not full stops, which is appropriate. He annunciates well, speaks calmly and not too fast, I'm taking in info not thinking about his voice.

Quite, the lack of emotionalised BS, just clear presentation of the facts, is what I miss in todays TV

[@monkeyballs9499]

zzebowa it’s not facts he’s just reading translations of roman texts. The Roman texts have not only been misquoted but they were mostly False sensationalism created by roman generals to make themselves look good in the fact they conquered the lands. This man says the people of Britain were barbarians like it’s a fact. That is not a fact. That is what romans told the people back in Rome. With no mention of the pagan religions. Same story throughout most of the world. We don’t know our true history. But I know what this man is saying is just ancient Roman texts about the place which have been translated from a language that no longer is spoken into a language that was no spoken at the time.

The Bronze and Iron episode is taking a little longer to remake due to issues licensing images. I'm therefore moving on to my next original video, which I hope to have out in the first week of September.

[@LukeChaos]

This is great. The clear structure of the writing, and your un-fancy but sincere delivery brings the history across clearly. Also major props for your approach to creative commons and credits. Quick bit of constructive criticism; a bit of script doctoring would prevent repetition like "the significance of celestial events would have a greater significance.." : cf. "the significance of celestial events would have been emphasized" or whatever. But anyway, this is seriously good. It should be on the BBC really.

Something about this narrator and how he says certain words in ways that would normally make me think twice in such an informed way that I absolutely love.

[@royer_redos]

I know this is a couple of years old, but I am first following your documentaries and I just wanted to congratulate you on such an improvement in dictation and vocal tone in your presentation. The earliest Britain video had a lot of vocal inflection that was distracting and I saw a bunch of comments complaining about it, but to your credit you adjusted and now sound like a fantastic narrator.

11:40 - That is not strictly true. Mesolithic Europeans as a race don't exist anymore whereas the Neolithic farmers from Anatolia who replaced them still exist in the form of Sardinian highlanders. Some of the Mesolithic Europeans intermarried with the Anatolian incomers, but there is nowhere where they did not physically invade and bring farming with them.

[@falconward6757]

Well done - clear enough for most people to understand easily but still filled with enough detail to make it a rich source of historical information - this and others in this series. A couple of seemingly minor but important aspects in gaining that clarity - your accent is very understandable even to us Yanks ;-) and the lack of background music is very refreshing after too many vids drowned out by unnecessary "noise" or worse, made unbearable to watch through music choices that cater only to those with the same musical tastes as the creator. Besides my general professional interest, I have a personal interest because part of my ancestry is British, that I can trace all the way back to an ancestor knighted by the English king, Edward III, in 1350. (I'm a professional cultural anthropologist and historian, and avid amateur videographer. I commend you for putting up with the relentless flack from too many viewers everywhere on YT - the reason I quit posting anything here long ago.)

Interested in the manufacture of stone items and the very large time needed to make them. If the early Britain's were anything like the Maori in New Zealand this work was undertaken by the old people, beyond the age when they could undertake strenuous work or warfare. They could, of course, sit around talking and endlessly grinding away at their latest stone project. Some truly fine examples survive.

It is a common misunderstanding that "average life expectancy of 30 years" means that at 30 you would have been considered old in the way today an 80 year old might be. With more than half the people not reaching the age of 5 due to the mentioned hardships, women occasionally dying in childbirth and men on occasion dying during hunts or battles, there is still no reason a 30 or 60 year old that was "lucky" enough to make it that far could not go on a hunt that most of todays 20year old cereal munchers would have to take a break from to go to the dentist.
