Please put these multi-part series in playlists! Thanks!!

[@realmsunreal]

Not sure if this is what you needed but found one someone made here :) kzbin.info/aero/PL72jhKwankOhU9PaMnSMAThVNIwXCXxJF

[@letsbwellness]

Amen!!

[@PaulYacovone]

I love the excitement and speed in which Dr. Aderin-Pocock speaks.

[@TheBenNZ]

Her enthusiasm is so fun 😊

[@Kunfucious577]

WOW!! The Scotland landscape restoration is awesome. There was an American guy who bought wasteland somewhere in middle America and restored it to its natural habitat, and within a few years, it was alive with all kinds of animals. It went from a basic dessert to having ponds and green pastures. I believe it all started with the grass, which is unexpected. We need more people like these people

Absolute history is so under-rated it should be seen by much more people.

[@harrietharlow9929]

Absolutely! I learn something new with every episode. And this one gave me more insights into the British (English and Scots) part of my ancestry. The Scots Borders is an area that calls to me. It's wild and beautiful. Another great channel is People Profiles, with fascinating biographies.

For those interested in the Bait Click title it’s at 40:00. Really Absolute History? You don’t need to do that!!!! We love history and hate bait click.

Quite disappointing. I watched this when it was posted under the title of the original series.

Somewhere there's a ghost of a long-dead Roman soldier wondering why two English blokes are smelling his old shoes

[@cindydufala7646]

It is interesting to imagine what life was like back in time of when my own ancestors were alive on earth. Seems it is really not that long ago a few generations.

There is no one born today that their ancestors once were alive somewhere. Enough of this smart a** . Cheers

Dr. Aderin-Pocock's enthusiasm for stars is so wonderful and contagious. I love it! I use a great app on my phone called Star Wa;l 2 which shows me all of the constellations, planets. even the satellites, wherever I aim my phone. It has glorious graphics, and really pretty music if I choose to use the music. I just imagine sitting in a field as glorious as some of the ones that Tony has passed through in this series, with the good Doctor, and we enjoy the app together. That would be an honor! She's so wonderful!

[@badbiker666]

I really LOVED the way that scene was shot. The light was perfect and the camera angle silhouetting the two of them with the fading night sky behind them. So serene!

[@harrietharlow9929]

Absorbing! I've now learned more of my British (in the sense of the whole island ) ancestors. Love this sort of thing. Having been adopted by German Americans, I didn't learn a lot about my ancestral homelands--Scotland, England, Ireland. I did learn about Germany--inevitable when you attend a German Lutheran school (I also have some German, though whether recent or more ancient I don't know.). They did take me to visit England and Ireland and I got to see some wonderful. Now, through KZbin and other sites I am able to do something of a "deep" dive into history. Thanks so much for posting!

I’m sure Tony has a ‘border’ at his front gate. Sovereign countries get to do the same and overall that’s a good thing.

Was the wall taller back in the day? I haven’t watched far yet it just seems to short to stop a person maybe it would stop horses idk

It was about 15 feet tall when it was built, with enough room to walk around on top. The English Heritage website has a good article about it!

[@nostromo9743]

No, dont be ridiculous, people back in the day were much shorter, about 1 foot in height on average due to their diets, they also wore bright-red pointy hats all the time.

[@StacyL.]

I absolutely LOVE these documentaries! I'm a US citizen, and with the help of DNA testing, I've found out almost 40% of my roots go back to England/ Scotland from thy Neolithic/ Bronze age and medieval periods. I'm tied directly to victims of the St. Brice Massacre, Robert the Bruce, the Stewarts, the Campbell Clan etc. I have a WONDERFUL ancestral heritage!

[@loke6664]

Willian Wallace was not Scotlands Braveheart... "Braveheart" was really the story about Robert the Bruce who's heart was carried after his death by Good sir James on a crusade... Didn't turn out the way sir James hoped. A certain movie was not historical accurate. Otherwise I love these shows and I vote for a playlist as well.

[@gregedgerton3390]

It's hard to imagine and believe both, that the famous (or infamous) moors of the Isle were once all heavily forested. The narrator mentioned this as not only true, - but very well on it's way toward becoming a dominant feature as early as ... But then, - An American Wierwolf in London just would not have worked.

[@louisprinsloo5709]

Rebuild the historical towns closest to the studies made, where possible. Instead of using it as tourist attractions, get the willing people of the nation in study to inhabit the rebuild historical towns/places with the agreement that they live a life identical to the peoples back then during the visiting hours, to attract and inspire visitors. All whilst keeping good faith and kindness, without trespassing modern or all time laws. After visiting hours, the people living there for the "show", could start up their solar powered equipment and also promoting green echo friendly living. Thus it will bring back life to the historical towns and lessen the poverty most people of all nations face.

6:59 Is that a lady version of Phil Harding?

[@badbiker666]

At 11:58 Tony says that William Wallace was Scotland's 'Braveheart.' Only if you're an American and all you know of British history is from movies or TV. Robert the Bruce was actually called Braveheart, not Wallace, and he gained the name only after his death. See this website that describes that event in wonderful fashion. harmsworth.net/scottish-history-heritage/1306-the-real-braveheart.html

[@lorigoshert6667]

Thank you. I was surprised he said that. Makes me wonder how reliable this channel actually is. Well, that and the videos about witches that didn't mention the patriarchal, religious, and socioeconomic conditions that resulted in thousands of innocent women being branded as witches. (American here, but I do enjoy history.)

[@j.b.4340]

@ 18:30 , Ill bet mister “no borders” locks his front door and has a fence around his home. I love borders.

[@klilinoklire4403]

It's a general flaw in the narrative of the series to focus on roads connecting us by - in this case - looking at a historical border of such huge proportions. Ironically, even "mister 'no borders'" makes a sort of nationalist remark - 17:33.

I wonder if the Romans depicted in this would be dressed like that. Something tells me no. I have never been to the UK but I imagine it's a bit too cold to be running around in short sleeves and mini skirts. At least in autumn, winter and early spring.

All he talks about for 40 minutes are roads and walls. Then he talks about potions at 40:00 . Nice clickbait title. Waste of time this video was

[@kinahloce]

The show is about ancient tracks which also can be read in the title. before you´ll be "clickbaited" again, please read the whole title.

[@klilinoklire4403]

@@kinahloce Then maybe this wall isn't exactly the best illustrative material for the claim that "it's roads that unite us" (46:00). Both the general statement and the experts' quotes are a bit spun in the direction as to delegitimize walls and borders. Indeed there was cultural exchange across Hadrian's wall, and yet it was a fortified border. During the video, we also don't focus entirely on this wall but on different interpretations of the landscape throughout history, especially after the fall of the Roman empire - something that may fit the "road" topic of the series but which is slightly misleading if you follow the main video title of Hadrian's wall. Ironically, even one of the experts makes nationalist remarks (17:33): So much for uniting roads.
