Academics often seem to be surprised by the resourcefulness of earlier populations. As if the levels of intelligence and human ingenuity are preconceived as inconsiderable. Great bountiful find helping to mitigate limited misconceptions.

Every single episode of Time Team, Chronicle or Odyssey. "We didn't realize the extent of interaction with mainland Europe." It's like 20 miles away in some spots. People make it from Cuba to the US on boats made from water bottles, McD wrappers and a prayer. People figured out boats loooooooooooong ago. This isn't complicated lol.

[@justkiddin84]

This drives me nuts. Exact same plan for pyramids in various spots. But no! It must have been some psychic process, not that people moved all across the world forever or traded across cultures.🤦🏻‍♀️ Native Americans all stayed in just one area for each tube forever-never mind they ALL smoked pipes from one place in Ohio. Just because we sit on our butts in one place all our lives, doesn’t mean they did. The aborigines of Australia made an incredible voyage from Africa to Australia over a relatively short period, across pretty dang large bodies of water. What do they say? ‘Impossible!’ Even after Kon Tiki. Just…come ON people!😂

I think they generally thought it was only high status people who would have access to international trade goods not the general population living out in the fens so on this occasion it is actually quite surprising to see how much trade permeated though society

Exactly. I also think wars, for power and control are the catalyst to stop human advancement. When we have Peace on Earth we will inherit the Universe.

I believe Christianity got to Britain with the Romans probably by 200 AD. I believe it probably didn't take off until the Romans left.

[@philroberts7238]

That early Christianity from the late Roman Empire remained in the Celtic-speaking west in Wales - and from there it spread further west to Ireland. In what is now modern England, there were new, pagan, invaders, so that land had to be converted all over again. For a while there were two distinct Christian traditions competing for supremacy, which were only reconciled by the Synod of Whitby.

[@elijahhodges4405]

@@philroberts7238 There is no archeological evidence of a WASP invasion. Most likely the Anglos and Saxons came in with the Roman Army, and then stayed identifying with the Britains more than with the Romans.

[@philroberts7238]

@@elijahhodges4405 There is a very clear distinction between Romano-British culture and the Anglo-Saxon culture that followed it. No doubt there were already some Germanic people in Roman Britain, whether as mercenaries or otherwise, but there is now overwhelming evidence that their culture, which was neither Roman nor native British, came to dominate in the early medieval era. The few written records that survive, from both sides, Welsh and "English", support this. Modern genetic evidence also tends to back up the same story. PS: The 'P' in WASP presumably stands for Pagan, rather than Protestant. This is quite appropriate, of course, because for the newcomers, unlike the Celtic-speaking natives, it took a few more centuries and a missionary from Rome before they become Christianised.

[@elijahhodges4405]

@@philroberts7238 And yet there is no evidence of an anglo Saxon invasion. Only in Bede's propagandist mind.

[@johnlord8337]

You make Christianity statements that are very inaccurate. The British at the time of Old King Cole, the father of Princess, Queen, Empress Helena of Britain, married to Constantius Chlorus of Armenia in the 300s, had early Christianity since the times of Emperor Claudius in the 40-60s CE. These were/ARE Celtic Christianity, which is the original and true faith of the ancients, 3 centuries, 300 long years before the Council of Nicaea in 300s CE under Constantine, and the rise of the catholic organization of distortions. With recent discoveries of the truths of the Angles and Saxons, they were Celtic Christians who came from China of the Huang capitol and southern China (of the Nestorians documented in 300s CE). They were refugee migrations back to the Mideast and Europe in the time of the Dark Ages, and massive climate changes, and population wars of the Siberian Steppes Wu Hei versus Asia and India in the 400s-600s CE. These people were not Germanics, but population migrations through Germany, but also Scandinavia were they became the origins of the Ireland, northern Wales, Scotland, and Britain lands of the invading Finngails and Dubhgails.
