This film begins where Symbols and Signs ends and traces attempts to explain the meaning of the Pictish symbols through the translation of Ogham and Latin inscriptions on a small number of the symbol stones. The film focuses on a number of key Pictish stones including those at St Vigeans, Auchenblae and Aberlemno. The film asks whether a Pictish ‘Rosetta Stone’ has been discovered which reveals the meaning of the symbols.

Thank you very much for your hard work on this and your other projects, the quality of your presentations is splendid and appreciated. It amazes me how much the general history pre-Viking is so diminished in the North compared to Romanized Britannia; it is hard to fathom how much we have lost from the enormously diverse cultures within Great Britain. Thank you again for helping to shed much appreciated light on this subject for everyone. Your detailed examination of the stones themselves allows us to view them as if we were there ourselves, and the surrounding countryside shots further establish this greatly enjoyed illusion. I would love to comment on the language itself, but hopefully that can be done in another place and another time. Again, gratitude from myself and family across the pond. Such beautiful examination of the Old Country and its history is a treasure to the aging minds and hearts of my parents, and my own longing soul.

I have been fortunate enough to have read the Scriptures more than several times. And studied intensely the Gospel Stories. The Dunfallandy Stone is John Chapter 3. It is Jesus teaching Nicodeamis about the Spirtual Birth. This was a very significant teaching and to some calling it the Gateway into the Spirtual life. That’s something they would definitely invest their time into carving...not just a conversation between two others. If the Picts were truly accepting the Gospel then John 3 is the would of been the starting point. Very very interesting videos. Thank you!

Thank you - this was a lovely series. This is definitely one of my favorite topics of exploration. The reference to Erddon/Tiernan on the stones could be a request for divine assistance, blessing, or intercession in a difficult or unknown circumstance by the Saint-. Religions still do this today, of course, and the stone form of prayer would feel very powerful and permanent.

Given their size, and paucity, they are surely royal tombstones, rather than jurisdictional markers. This must date them to before the unification of 'pictland'. The use of Ogham script is interesting, at least it gives us, apparently, royal names to go by. Most Ogham scripts are found in Wales, such as the Votiporius stone. Uniquely he is described on his tombstone as a Protector, not a king, a late Roman rank referring to a small corps of military officers attached to the court of the Roman emperor. They were trusted men sent on special missions, to gather information, carry messages etc. Ammianus Marcellinus whose history books date from about 390AD, was a member of the corps of protectors. As such he witnessed the seige of Amida by the Sassanid Persian King, narrowly escaping the sack of that town through a postern gate, and being chased through the Iraqi desert by Persian cavalry troopers

In Ireland ogham is not pronounced "og-ham" but more like "ohm." When certain sounds or letters are mixed they are often silent. The only reason say like "Tír ná nÓg" does not sound anglicised is because the fádas (áéíóú) etc let us know where the accent is. So in English it's supposed to sounds like "Teer naw Nogue"

Thank you for this. I'm pretty sure these are associated with constellations and other astronomical phenomena. I've already identified the weird looking animal as what we know of as "Capricorn". In most of the older drawings of it on star maps, it is shown with very long horns. The artists renderings of the Zodiac change thruout time, but this one seems to have some staying power. In the sky, it is surrounded by dogs and birds and only a little ways away there are 2 horse-and-riders that we know of as "Centaurs". Capricorn is special as the sign that, in conjunction with the Sun, marks the depth of Winter and the lowest point of the Ecliptic toward the Southern Horizon. Esp. from the Northern-most viewpoints on Earth. The "Crescent and Broken Arrow" was shown in 2 distinct angles: one wider and another narrower. This could be the places the sun rises and sets on the arc of the Ecliptic being wider in Summer and narrower in Winter. I'd have to study it for days to figure it all out, but this is just what I've gotten in the last few hours. I strongly suspect this is where the images come from. However, different Cultures use the same asterisms to tell different stories, so the Pictish stories would be the important part that the pictures do not show. As many people do already know, these same asterisms have been used to tell the Biblical stories as well, as Bede discovered, so the combining of the images may not have presented any significant problem for them. The one I am highly curious about is the Z - which, btw, is not a Z, but a pointy S. It begins in the upper right, goes horizontally left, then down diagonally to the right, and back horizontally to the left. This means something. In time, I'll figure it out. ☕

I doubt the Picts at that time were interested in the night sky much, the Scottish climate meant it was too cloudy and the days too short, and Christians have never been noted for interest in either astronomy or astrology
@LynxSouth
@LynxSouth 3 жыл бұрын
@@christophersmith5691 Per other researchers/videos, Picts were a sea-faring people, and sea-farers are traditionally interested in the stars. The short winter days you write of mean that they experienced months of really long nights. In a place with not much else to do, that usually means people watch the stars. Over the centuries and millennia, even the occasional clear sky at night can lead to the accumulation of lots of knowledge. Finns, Lapps/Sami, Inuits and other extremely northern peoples are known to have studied the night skies and created stories about it. Ask any hobbyist stargazer, and they'll confirm that winter nighttime skies are often the clearest. Although some of these carvings are clearly from the era of early Christianization of the Picts, the non-religious parts of the Picts' culture didn't change overnight. They'd been doing things their way for centuries or longer, defending it rather ably from Romans, the predecessors of lowland Scots, etc. This beast figure was obviously incorporated into their writing system, wherever it originated, whatever it came to mean. How astrology is written about relative to history and science has changed a LOT over just the last 30-40 years, and history books are being rewritten to reflect that. Much of what is taught as "fact" reflects attitudes about the past that hardly existed well within living memory. So, not intending to be snippy, none of your reasons for doubting hold up. www.thestarofthemagi.com/christianastrology.htm

I also came up with the Pictish Beast being the Capricorn sea-goat. Given that they were such a northerly people, for whom the winter nights were indeed long, maybe they adopted this glyph as their symbol, and that's why it is found so commonly in these carvings. In the comments of another video about Picts, a woman from northern Scotland wrote that where she grew up, a rough agricultural 'calendar" was fashioned from setting up 3 tall stones on a summer solstice, and watching for when its shadow touched one of the stones (time to plant) or the other (time to reap). Another commenter wrote of something similar using V-shaped rods, one a narrower V, the other much wider. It all makes me wonder if the crescent and broken arrow were a way of signifying a date. Or it could mean "In Memoriam".
@alexanderguesthistorical7842
@alexanderguesthistorical7842 Жыл бұрын
My own view is that the "Rosetta Stone", at least for one particular symbol, you show in the video. In the Sculptors Cave you show a carving of a Crescent and V-rod. To my eyes, this can only have one single interpretation - a bow and a broken arrow. The extreme antiquity of these symbols is then attested by the fact that a high degree of stylisation has been applied to the later carvings, which has somewhat obscured their composition. Hence, the "orange segment" shape of the simple bow (yew longbow), later became stylised with the bowstring curving "in sympathy" with the curve of the bow, to create a crescent shape. The stylised forms at either end of the V-rod are generally slightly different, as they symbolise the head and the fletchings of the arrow. This can be much more clearly seen in the Sculptors Cave carving. Also, V-rods and indeed Z-rods are very often carved with a deltoid shape in the crux of the angles of the rods. This I believe to be an allusion to how the fibres of wood splinter and separate, when a wooden rod is broken in half. The fibres on the outside of the break will remain straight, but those on the inside of the break will bend into a curve, and not break. Thereby inferring the deltoid shape carved in the V and Z-rods. As the V-rods were broken arrows, so the Z-rods were broken spears, depicted over the top of figure 8 shaped shields ("Double Disk" shape). In the manner of the Battersea Shield housed in the British Museum. The "elephant" or "whale", to my mind is actually a stylised depiction of an intact animal hide (deer hide?). Which has undergone a certain amount of drying, as can be seen on the legs and the belly, which have curlicues carved into them, to indicate the curling of the skin as it dries. The curved line emanating from the top of the head - and tail, could well indicate a thong used to hang the hide while drying. The "Tuning Fork" and the rectangular shape, with often two curved extremities emanating from the corner of the rectangle both indicate (to my mind) iron razors for shaving the face. Archaeological examples of these can be found in various places, as can modern reproductions, and they follow on from the shape of bronze precedents. This interpretation partners other symbols, such as the Comb and Mirror, as implements of personal grooming. I think the distribution of these symbols, and the extreme age of them (as symbols) which is evidenced by the high degree of stylisation the later carvings depict, leads me to conclude that they were in fact tribal symbols. In the manner of, say, Soccer badges. Which if correct would lead one to the conclusion that "The Picts" were in fact a CONFEDERATION of pre-Roman indigenous Brythonic speaking tribes, which had existed in Scotland since time immemorial. The inscription of a particular symbol (V-rod, Animal Skin, Z-rod, etc.) on a given stone being an indication of the "jurisdiction" and/or dedication to, which tribes the stone came under. Therefore a V-rod might symbolise the Novantae, and the Z-rod might symbolise the Selgovae (although those kingdoms were in the south west of Scotland - possibly the "Southern Pictland" of Bede). The more symbols within a given carved stone would indicate a greater number of "Pictish" tribes/kingdoms to whom the stone is dedicated. The fact that there are carved Pictish symbols at the gateway to Trusty's Hill in Dumfries and Galloway would indicate that there were indeed surviving "Southern Picts" who had not yet been superseded by later immigrant kingdoms. The presence of the Z-rod on this particular carved stone could thus indicate that the other symbol (a Carnyx) could well have been the tribal insignia of the Novantae, partnered with the Z-rod which would indicate the over-arching "Pictish" confederacy/Kingdom. Al speculation, of course. But I believe this hypothesis to be in-line with currently known evidence.

I have a theory that "the beast" which is supposed to be a mythical animal or beast is actually been drawn so many times that it's truer depiction is that of an animal which disappeared when the Ice age disappeared. I think it might be an ancient type of elephant that ploughed the snow to get at the herbage underneath, which disappeared long ago, but was drawn, and now t,he artists still depict it in distorted form. The "tusks" look like the long lips or mouth parts, and sometimes the ears, which might have been the ear, might have been much shorter in an elephant of which we have no remains now except in the Natural History museum from remains of animals in the old Thames which once was miles above where it is now.

Let's take this to 30,000 Ft: if I were going to carve a stone, why would I, and what would I say? I would probably carve an event, and definitely put a date or time of the year, maybe my name, or the name of the person relevant to the event. I feel like these crescents and double disks are representing time. Months of a full moon/Earth relationship, and the crescent with the V 90 degree angle (or 45 degree angle - have never seen anything else except 90 and 45) are saying something about the time of the year. Has anyone explored that? some of the double discs have a notch out of them, sometimes there is no Z, and sometimes the Z is backwards. And I agree with the comment about the animals...zodiacs, again which represent time of the year.

My interpretation is very different. I'm going to suggest that the symbols express a knowledge of the Earth's rotation on its axis and the rotation of the earth and the magnosphere. It's not a great stretch of imagination to have had the knowledge as some south Americans were building calendars and such at around the same time. From an expression of seasonal changes and the scientific data of early time. My interpretation however has no reference excepting personal artistic impression.

Thanks for the nice videos, very well put together. I think your start date for the Picts might be wrong by a thousand years or so, they were definitely in place before Christ. There is also no evidence they were conquered, and could well be the ancestors of our current highland population. So much info has been lost, and it's hard to get context for the stones that have been moved, or where the surrounding homesteads are no longer there. One theory is that they are boundary markers, and the two symbols could mean X son of Y, or X of clan Y. Animals are often used as clan totems, and the beast may well represent the Unicorn or Kelpie. The Unicorn may represent royalty. Or they could be ancient road signs, services 10 miles.

The singular hole was mentioned in part 1 as probably being made to make it easier to move the stone with a crane.

The stone with four holes corresponding to the hollow parts of the cross were probably made to highlight the cross.

I have studied some of this and what i think might sound nuts just look into it. The Picts where one of the lost 12 tribes of Hebrews that traveled thru the Caucus mountains looking for new lands to settle.

Could Ogham be dates and not words?

@christophersmith5691 3 жыл бұрын
Ogham script has been translated, check it out on the net. From memory each symbol has two or three meanings according to context, eg. The name of a type of tree or herb, a letter of the alphabet, or a word

@@christophersmith5691 But does their "translation" really make any sense.. a date would make way more sense and since it resembles latin numbers more than words, it seems probable that's what they are.

They cannot be dates, because ancient peoples almost never give dates as such in inscriptions. Even the Romans didn't and they have left us many inscriptions. Not even on coins, as we do. They dated by the name of the ruler, king, consul etc. As this programme suggested, the ogham letters probably give names, like the Vortpor stone in Wales, where most of the ogham inscriptions have been found. Quite likely they were tombstones as was the Vortpor stone (Latin and ogham) (they LOOK like gravestones) or perhaps territorial markers

You will not find the answers in the historical record or from archeology. The only way you can ever know what those symbols mean is through the esoteric. All il say is philistine Means lovers of stone. In circles they're are hidden squares and in squares there are hidden circles. These people have the ancient knowledge of the builders and they proved it with there symbolism.

It is not a woman. The head is recessed, it was male before. Probably Mary Magdaene given its location in the cemetery.

If I could, I would venture back through time and document the Picts from their beginnings and, possibly, the beginnings of those who were their forebears. My bloodlines come from Northumbria, Aberdeenshire and York, all places the Picts and their forebears were known to inhabit.

Please don’t put your hands on these old stones. The friction of your touch and the oil in your hands can gradually wear away these ancient monuments.

Count the symbols I keep counting 10 and 12 one for each lost tribe of Israel. The standing stones and grave stones are Our tradition as a people starting with Moses and Joshua. More is being revieled in these days as We uncover Our Identity those who have coveted Our Identity and Birthright continue to hide the truth but will not succeed.
