@@CambrianChronicles I'm a Pictish "scientist" and about a year ago I was analysing ancient data from Greek maps (100 BC and earlier). Then, I saw a famous island of "Thule" which is often associated with Iceland. But Greek people wrote that "the Sun never sets of this Island", and I was also pretty confused by the location of Thule. So I started analysing other ancient sources, and it eventually turned out that Thule was "in five days" from Orkney. By "in five days" I think Greeks meant "in five days sailing", so if we know the speed of a common Greek ship (~17 km/h) we will get that Thule must have been located in about 2000 km away from Orkney. And... It perfectly matches with Greenland! The northern ost point of Iceland is about 1000 km away from Orkney, so here everything points to Greenland. I was also thinking that Thule was discovered only by Greeks, but Romans then wrote that Thule was populated by "painted people", moreover after the fall of Rome Claudius Claudianus wrote that "Thule is warm with the blood of the Picts" and later Jordanes wrote that Thule is "under the pole star". The word "Thule", itself has a Celtic etymology too, related to a Celtic kingdom of "Tylis" in Thracia, but the meaning of this word is apparently unknown. So I think Picts indeed populated Greenland for some time, and there is no bigger mystery here. So let's hope one day we find an archeological evidence. But there are a lot of other mysteries of Picts that we don't know. For example, did Pictish language ever existed, or was it a dialect of Cumbric? And where did the brochs came from? And why there's an Indo-Aryan symbol on an ancient Newton Stone in Eastern Scotland, and why the other side of the stone mentions Jesus and other Christianity things? I also actually want to suggest a video for you: the lost Pictish kingdom of Sci. If you have seen maps of Pictish kingdoms, you may see that Hebrides and the Isle of Skye is sometimes mentioned as part of Dal Riata, sometimes as a part of "Cait" kingdom, and sometimes just ignored. Though, Picts indeed lived there, they left a lot of their stuff on these lands. And some sources (like Annals of Ulster) mentioned "Sci" people which seems to be located somewhere in Hebrid island and Isle of Skye. Personally, I have never tried to dig into this topic before, so I think it will be interesting for you to see the information about the lost "Sci" kingdom.

One of my favourite videos from this channel is still your video on the sunken kingdoms, where you theorised near the end of the video that some of those stories may be a long forgotten memory of the coastal floodings that happened during the last ice age. It just blows my mind that somehow, a memory of people thousands of years ago still lingers on but now adapted to fit a story retelling of the times. I don't know how to describe these feelings, but it's almost the same feelings I got from especially these past 2 videos. Sure these videos may not be 30 minutes long like the sunken kingdoms video, but the fact that you managed to evoke the same feelings just shows your great ability as a storyteller. The feeling of a memory long forgotten by many from time being revived, putting a face or more importantly a name to these storie. It truly does humanises them, regardless if their original intention was to glamourise themselves or their lineages.

Then after years of avoiding the English kings I found I was descended from King John. Not even one of the charismatic ones (disappointed).

King Arthur's last battle at Camlan took place a short distance away over from Llanuwchllyn and Bwlch y Groes in Dinas Mawddwy (possibly). Two of the survivors of that battle were Derfel, who had the village of Llanderfel, to the north east of the lake named after him and Morfaen ap Tegid. So Tegid may have had more than one son. That would place Tegid to around the 5th Century. The T3 Transport for Wales Bus from Wrexham to Barmouth goes through the middle of Penllyn and is well recommended.

Before I discovered your channel, which was probably around a year ago, I had no knowledge of Wales. It had been a region that I would neglect often when looking into the history of Britain. I wouldn’t even bother looking into where the Welsh part of my family had come from thinking that it would be boring. Your channel has helped me discover how fascination this region’s history is. It is probably now one of my favorite areas to research!

Genuinely think videos like this are going to do so much good for history as a subject. We're all used to learning about history as narrative, it's refreshing to get a peek behind the curtain. Instead of a series of fixed points we get to look at it as this complicated web of contradictory sources, dead ends and mysteries. It makes the past feel more like a place people lived in, somehow. It isn't pristine.

And also will there be vudeo about Brythonic people settled in marshes of Eastern England which were mentikned in "the last Celts in England" video? There is literally no open source information about these so-called "Wylisc" people. Would really like to see such video.

@@CambrianChronicles There's actually more such ideas in Brythonic sphere. For example the colony of Britonia in Galicia, Spain, which challenges our view on Brythonic language itself, since local people spoke a language different from Common Brythonic by 500 AD, while its is thought the Brythonic broke up only in 600 AD.

Thanks for this brilliant video. I went to Bala on a school trip and it made an impression on me that lasts to this day. I find it strange that it could be a tiny kingdom in the 9th century. I thought Gwynedd was powerful then. Not only that, but there was another tiny kingdom next door. I need to explore this period to see why. And the end bit? Poetic

I wanted to thank you so much not only for your videos but for the quality of them. In large part because I appreciate them as a historian and anthropologist, but also in small part because while I’m not Welsh, I have a Welsh name, which has inspired me to learn more about Wales, and Welsh language and history. So thank you for being a reliable source from which I can do so!

I haven't heard the word "mere" used for "lake" in English before, but I imagine it's related to the dutch word "meer" (which also means "lake"). Neat!

It's a cool word! There are a few around, I'm pretty used to it because there are a bunch just over the border in Ellesmere (The Mere, Blakemere, Colemere, Whitemere, Kettlemere, Newton Mere, Crosemere and Sweat Mere and Hanmer Mere, apparently), there's also the largest lake in England - Windermere!

I have been watching your videos quite a while now. They're so captivating, especially of a land I knew so little about. In the new world there are no ties and longevity to the land in our people, aside from of course the indigenous peoples. There aren't forgotten kings of Australia. I couldn't imagine a history of my country that contained such esoteric oddities, as in its modern state it has existed so little time. I think it's one of the reasons I find your videos so interesting

Another interesting and well-made video! And that line at the end... Powerful stuff. I see in your videos that you reply and heart to comments up to a certain point, and then stop thereafter. Thus, idk if you'll see this comment. And hence why idk if you've seen a couple other comments I left on previous videos of yours (the "Missing Medieval Sea", the "Conquest Written out of History", and the "Missing Churches") about the "interesting mysterious Brythonic settlement in northwest Spain" known as "Britonia", which imo would make for an interesting topic for you to cover in a video someday. To give some brief info, "Britonia" appears to have been founded around the 500s, but unlike the other Six "Celtic nations", it looks to have "been absorbed" into the local Galician people and only left behind Ecclesiastical records and a couple of village names. Among these records was a 6th-century Bishop named either "Maeloc" or "Mailoc", who like some of the people in this video, is only known by his name, job position, and time/place, but little else. As I noted in my previous comments, from what I can tell from the Wikipedia articles, the "leading expert" on "Britonia" is a "Dr. Simon Young", who appears to be a teacher at an Italian university who's published papers on "Britonia" (and "mythological creatures") in the early 2000s. If you ever DO decide to make a video on Britonia, this "Dr. Young" might be a good place to start. Though I perfectly understand if you are busy or feel that this topic is "too unrelated to Wales". Either way, I hope you (or anyone else reading this) finds it interesting/helpful. Good luck with future videos and have a nice day!
