Ah, I love this stuff so much. Before the Romans even set foot on British soil, there was over 1,200 years of history. Kingdoms and battles and lovers and betrayels. All of it.

And then we have standing stones like Stonehenge which was 2,000 years before the Celts even stepped onto Britain!
@imemberberry Жыл бұрын
We only have limited information to go off of unfortunately, usually imperial scribes writing about them, not much actual source code from Celts. Publius Tacitus wrote that a man from Briton could speak to a man from Anatolia with no language barrier for hundreds of years. Leads me to believe that while "Celts" or "Gauls" or "Goths" never considered themselves as such, there was a sort of anti-empire tribal understanding that preserved language and culture against the Greek and Roman empires of antiquity. It's like.. they weren't working together, but they hated the empires more than each other and over hundreds of years certain customs became universal.

This documentary did a fantastic job of coherently linking the ancient continental celts with the Britons that descended from them, leading up to the clashes with the Anglo-Saxons which transitions somewhat neatly into the Normans and modern times. And it was even a little cheekier than normal. Combined with the other long-format documentary on the continental Celts, this is the most comprehensive history I've ever seen of the people who helped shape Rome and were the forefathers of the people who became the Irish.

Love to hear about the ancient history of my home, I have lived in Ramsgate all my life and Pegwell Bay today is a well preserved nature reserve for nesting birds. It’s a lovely place to go for a walk just don’t hit the nature reserve. To think that 2100 years ago it was the site of Roman Eagles landing on the shore of Britain to now being the well protected site for Turtle Doves and other nesting birds strikes a stark contrast. Thank you for this excellent video. There is the Replica Hugin Viking Longboat about half a mile up the coast from Pegwell Bay in Cliffsend which was gifted by the Danish in 1949 to commemorate 1500 years since the Anglo-Saxon invasion and there is a sign near it saying Kent Welcomes Viking Invaders as a dual historical reference. As well, the town of Ramsgate is the site where St Augustine brought Christianity to the British Isles. Our little corner of the country is steep with important pivotal national history but we scarcely advertise it. Hopefully that will change in years to come.

The earliest Welsh genealogies give Maximus (referred to as Macsen/Maxen Wledig, or Emperor Maximus) the role of founding father of the dynasties of several medieval Welsh kingdoms, including those of Powys and Gwent. He is given as the ancestor of a Welsh king on the Pillar of Eliseg, erected nearly 500 years after he left Britain, and he figures in lists of the Fifteen Tribes of Wales Also to let you know magnus maximus was great great grand father to King Arthur

Really.....it was more to do with the excuse using the Druidic practice of human sacrifice that was abhorant to the Romans, but rather the power held by the Druids in the Celtic tribes and the fact that they were a glue between different tribes, so therefore did not benefit the Roman normality of divide and conquer. The Druids believed in Rebirth rather than reincarnation.....and reason why badly sick people were euthanised, and only after the creation of modern Druidism was reincarnation referred to.

I've lived here, in Colchester, for decades mate. We have an enormous amount of Roman artifacts, buildings and actually, there are quite a lot of sections of the Roman wall and gateways which surround the town. The Norman Castle, which is the largest in Europe by the way, is built on top of the older Roman structure which had the famous temple that burnt down. Oh, and lastly......... there's also a lot of roads in numerous areas of the town which are named after the Iceni tribe, our warrior Queen etc and then there's even more Roman themed roads as well.

I love how you say "uno-reverse" like it's a normal verb.

As much as I enjoyed this, I feel like Caractacus could have gotten a bit more press here as he's always forgotten about in favour of Boudicca. He fought an effective gurrilla war against the Romans for 7 years. This is unfortunately a forgotten part of the protracted conflict that persisted in the frontier following Plautius' invasion. His nemsis (so to speak), Scapula, died of stress likely caused by the pressure that was on his shoulders to end the resistance.

Difference is that one was an irritation and the other put fear into them by attacking and burning London down....but more importantly that one had more information that survived through to today than the other.
