THE LONG BARROWS: 1,000 Years Before Stonehenge | A Prehistory Guys Film

[@ThePrehistoryGuys]

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the premiere viewing and to all of you who have commented since. We're quite overwhelmed with the response to our film and we're full of gratitude for the amazing support there is for this channel. You make it all possible and we so much hope our upcoming projects and shows will continue to bring you pleasure. Next stop: Göbekli Tepe ... ! 😊

[@jenniferharrison4319]

Thank you Rupert and Michael for all the time you give to make such wonderful videos 🙏🙂

[@stellamarie8044]

Wishing you guys a safe and happy trip! ☀️👍

[@PirateCommander]

Looking forward to more. I've been sharing tour stuff since getting a copy of Standing With Stones what seems like decades ago and in fact is. Your presentation style is always engaging and inviting and it's great to see these themed and site specific works unfolding. It used to be less of a popular topic, which the internet was bound to change. I'm fortunate that a lot of the sites you've covered in UK and Ireland I've actually visited, so it's bringing back the amazing scenery and scale of the landscapes and artifacts I've enjoyed in real life too and doing a very good job of that too

[@raymondporter2094]

A cracking video.

[@Luckyluke870]

Hi guys love you’re work I’m currently wanting to explore all these sites is there anywhere I can gain access to a map so I don’t get lost lol. Luv u guys @prehistoric guys ❤

[@niels.brouwer]

Wow gents, such a brilliant film! The fabulous script, narration, cinematography and editing could easily pass for a high-budget BBC documentary - only thing giving away it's not was the fact you guys avoided all the classic misinformation by digging much deeper, both literally and metaphorically. 👏😁

[@jonm7272]

What a film! Presentation, cinematography, editing, music, storytelling, just superb!

[@722dabba]

"We build replaceable houses and permanent tombs" I was surprised at myself that when my husband died, I spent so much time on a stone for his grave. I would nt have predicted I would do this, but it was extremely important to me. It was nt until I watched this wonderful film that I understood. 'Its a human thing". Thank you..

[@ThePrehistoryGuys]

That's a very touching message, thank you. R

[@dallastaylor5479]

29 hours? I have to wait 29 hours? Ok, turn on notify!

[@nickjohnson410]

9:10 It is very refreshing for a historian/archeologist to offer the point of cause to be nothing more than human stupidity, which is as old as time. "I don't know" is the most powerful statement you will ever make to yourself because it means there is work to do and a mystery to solve. People drop things, hide things, accidently set things on fire... not everything has a deep meaning.

[@alisonalder7317]

Rewatching already, a half hour after debut. Beautifully filmed and scripted. The music also fitted so well. Rupert's words with the skull reminded me of the end of Standing with Stones .. We're still here. I wish I could like twice.

[@weethree2070]

yes, there's a beautiful symmetry there!

[@MrNas42]

No one else produces prehistory documentaries as well as you do. Quality script, stunning visuals, clear and informative story.

[@ThePrehistoryGuys]

Thanks so much Nigel:)

[@WickedFelina]

Just Amazing! I love how the two of you lovely men put together your shows. Either a happy chat, or a grand, inciteful documentary. It shows us that the family unit is not new, neither of Judeo/Christian origins. I have a tear in my eye, my heart moved as you look respectfully, and admirarily into the face of our human family member not lost to us, only an unnamed soul, of one moment, long, long ago. Thank you sincerely!

[@ThePrehistoryGuys]

Thanks so much!

[@Sybil_Detard]

Clappitty, clap, clap. Well done!

[@bonneyfinnegan8514]

I’m addicted to this wonderful channel!

[@HistoryTime]

Brilliant. Looking forward to watching this

[@roxiepoe9586]

I've been listening/watching you guys for a while now, and I am simply in awe of your ability to make this complex study understandable. After this film, I really feel like I understand long barrows for the first time. (I'll have to watch it multiple times to absorb the knowledge you present - but I can see a glimmer!)

[@mattreid859]

Oh I am SO looking forward to watching this. Thanks pre-history guys!

[@AndyJarman]

Scholarly without sucking the life out of the subject. Marvellous.

[@anicatannevi1473]

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@shahad_alsayed]

Thank you Mr. Rupert Soskin and team for the history and archaelogy film..brings the knowledge and enlightment. The research, the filmography and the presentation, just briliant and way leading.

[@jp-um2fr]

I have watched Standing With Stones at least 4 times. I cannot express my appreciation of such a superb documentary. Please continue and never doubt you have devout subscribers. Thanks for your efforts from such a small group. Take care - JP PS, The music fits perfectly.

[@FredPilcher]

Thank you! Australian here - I've been fortunate to visit a few long barrows in England, including Weyland Smithy. They've always fascinated me, and I'm very grateful for this wonderful information. 🙂 I look forward to more.

[@rabidspatula1013]

Wayland's Smithy is the most amazing place I have ever been. Truly otherworldly place. I am not superstitious at all, but if an elf walked out of the entrance I would not have been surprised one bit. Imagine the power of that place on the minds of Neolithic people?

[@richardkelly9156]

How did they bury under the false portal 😅

[@AndyJarman]

Places like that continue to feed our minds and I'd say our souls. There wouldn't have been a Utha Pendragon or a Gandolf without them. Whoever planted those beech trees around it did us all a great service. They really enhance the reverence one feels for the place. Being a discrete distance off the Ridgeway, and on the way to the Whitehorse just adds to the mystery of that big sky and those distant views.

[@bamspam23]

Wantage hippies used to hold Solstice parties there...very nice.

[@richardkelly9156]

@@bamspam23 😍

[@DavidNewmanDr]

I've been to Wayland's Smithy, but my drone camera didn't work that day - unlike the picture at the end of this film.

[@blackeyedlily]

What a gorgeous film! I especially loved how well tended many of these sites appeared to be.

[@TheElfishGene]

Absolutely fantastic. Bravo Rupert and Michael.

[@michaeldarby3503]

Thank you Guys that was outstanding.

[@pamelagamblin981]

I am so happy that you appeared on my feed.I have always been fascinated by ancient history and living in Canada I love to learn about the history of the land my ancestors are from.

[@simonclydesdale5246]

Fascinating, beautifully put together

[@toniomalley5661]

Iv been so looking forward to seeing this thanks guys best from Ireland best of luck on your travels can’t wait to see what you uncover in Turkey

[@wendykettlewell4628]

"I don't know" - how refreshingly honest! Excellent and enjoyable presentation.

[@MrNas42]

This is AWESOME!

[@openmindedwonderer]

That was amazing, truly wonderful Watch 😊

[@kevincarothers7486]

BREATHTAKING cinematography, sound, and content!!!

Hi gents, it's back to binge-watching KZbin season again... and what a video to start it off with - excellence.

[@julescaru8591]

Thank you so much for your dedication to telling us the stories of these far off times, everything that you two do is well thought out , scripted and filmed/edited wonderfully, again, thank you both so much! All the best Jules

[@ThePrehistoryGuys]

Thank you so much!

[@hawkeye7983]

Fantastic! You guys make such a good team. More like this, please :)

[@volofly2011]

In 2018, on two separate business trips to the UK (April and December), I visited Stoney Littleton and West Kennet respectly and they are both fantastic! I am still amazed that these sites are completely open to the public and thrilled that they are. I was dubbed with the nick name, "Indiana Sleppy", by my colleague for entering the Stoney Littleton "tomb" against his better judgement. As well as for actually being from Indiana. 😉 Lovely video, thanks for sharing, Mark "Indiana" Sleppy

[@julieblackstock8650]

Fascinating documentary. As good, actually better ,than any you can see on TV.

[@Geeman002]

A wonderful short film that taught me a lot in a short time. You guys are great film makers! I will watch this several times, as I have your “Standing with Stones” film.

[@Watcher1852]

OH MY, GREAT JUST GREAT DO CARRY ON, THIS FILM WHEN DONE WILL BE OUT OF THIS WORLD IN MORE THAN ONE WAY, YOU GUYS DO MAKE GREAT FILMS AND PUT YOUR ALL INTO THEM. I ALWAYS SHARE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND DO POSTS, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK U BOTH DO TO BRING THESE FILMS TO US ALL. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH U BOTH, BE SAFE, STAY WARM (Sorry for caps. Vision problems.)

Superb quality film. Great narration, beautifully shot, informative and engaging presentation.

[@johnkim791]

This was a great video! The cinematography and music were fantastic and of course Rupert’s narration. All so enjoyable. This was right up there w/ your Standing with Stones movie.

[@petrifiedlog66]

What a wonderful documentary! I wouldn't expect anything else from you two! Would happily watch that level of production for 5hrs 😂...

[@AndyJarman]

Starts 3am in Western Australia. I have absolutely no idea what happens at 3am here, I don't start existing till 4:30 at the absolute earliest. I'll watch this on the beach, with the dog, as the sun starts to warm the sky.

[@Frenchconnection6]

starts at 6 am in NSW - I'll at least see the first part of it live! Lucky me

[@nathanhalsey8687]

Interesting that on the tv KZbin has the date in American standard- 11/10/23. So I thought I’ve missed it. But fear not! It’s actually the 10/11/23😅 Also, I can’t wait. Thanks MnR ❤I’ll be signing up for the Patreon soon- I’ve literally watched everything two or six times on the tv whilst I convalesce from recent surgery. My favourite Channel in the Prehistoric World. Cheers 🍺🍺🍺
