Thanks so much Russ. I used to want to be on TV, but they didn't want me. So now I prefer KZbin and the contact with all the lovely viewers.

I’ve watched a fair few of your videos but the production on this is sooooooooo much better than recent ones! Although I enjoy them this is so much more professional, easier to watch and feels like something you would see on TV! Please do more like this!!!!

Wow! Facinating! I am on bed rest today as I had to have an epidural in my neck for pain management yesterday. So I thought I would look up any vids on Wiltshire & watch them today. Didnt realize where my 11x ggrandfather Sir John Thyne built his Longleat is also where Stonehenge & so many other ancient sites were located. As always, interesting & informative! Love your history walks!👍 Loved the camper! And again why this show wasn't picked up either I will never understand!?!? But their loss is def our gain!😁

I wonder how many other people claim Sir John Thyne as their 11xggrandfather. I guess if we go far enough back we all have the same relations.

@@RichardVobes I've become really proud of my English heritage (can ya tell!) I need to do further investigating on some of the other aristocratic great-grans & see what ya might have on any of them. Also, I've been holding off on all your Wales vids until I can go back & retrace which Welsh king my mom & I are descended from. So who knows, I might meet a cousin on here yet!

Very interesting Richard. What I don't understand about the long barrows is it seems only the front seems to be used. Why the long mound behind? Are there more chamber still covered and hidden by the chalk?
@RichardVobes
@RichardVobes 5 жыл бұрын
I am not too sure myself, but I think it is a status thing and to be seen from a long way away. They would have been glistening white with uncovered chalk.

Great video Richard. I loved the documentary style and that Citroen Xsara. What?? a car ;) Just maybe. Seriously, this was good stuff. I sent a link for my wife to watch the video from the West Kennet Long Barrow onwards as we visited it in 2018 (I think) and like you (it seems) you had it all to yourself. Those caravans fetch a lot of money these days I see. We had a Thompson Miniglen in the 1980s

The largest artificial mound in Europe, mysterious Silbury Hill compares in height and volume to the roughly contemporary Egyptian pyramids. Probably completed in around 2400 BC, it apparently contains no burial. Though clearly important in itself, its purpose and significance remain unknown. Silbury Hill is part of the Avebury World Heritage Site, and a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Oddly the Neolithic thought than when all that was left of a person were bones, then they were truly dead. We know now that DNA exists in bone and the entire person, can't be brought back to life, but can certainly be known.

It's customary at the long barrow to leave an offering at the alcove at the back, my kids pick wild flowers along the tracks up the hill and place them on the stone "seat" 👍
