A short documentary, created alongside a new book titled 'Yorkshire's Prehistoric Monuments'. Adam Morgan Ibbotson invites you to explore a world sculpted by ancient hands.
Yorkshire is a land built from stone. From the limestone pavements of the Dales to the North York Moors, few landscapes characterize the beauty of the English landscape like Yorkshire. But tucked away, off the beaten track, are a collection of curious and often misunderstood landmarks of extreme antiquity. Yorkshire’s prehistoric monuments, which are among the largest and most spectacular in Britain, are finally celebrated in this long-overdue compendium.
Featuring new and informed research, including excavation notes, maps, and diagrams, Yorkshire’s Prehistoric Monuments details some of Britain's richest archaeological landscapes. Featuring over eighty of the most awe-inspiring prehistoric sites in Yorkshire, ranging from vast earthworks, to the tallest standing stones in Britain. In this richly illustrated book, you can find photographs, and newly illustrated diagrams of every megalithic site in the county.
Take a journey into a land sculpted by ancient hands.

I grew up on Long Island and remember being able to see the Milky Way. It saddens me to think how many children are growing up never seeing a brilliant night sky. I found it awesome and comforting.
Reminds me of: "No one would have believed
In the last years of the nineteenth century
That human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space"
👍
Clapping Brilliant
Really absorbing, and with humour. Lovely
Haunting and poetic! Thank You!
Fantastically edited, well presented and thoroughly inspiring and enjoyable video. Thanks for this.
Excellent Content
Loved the prose at the beginning and how it set the pace for a great narrative flow. Well made! Thanks and you got my sub.
Something that just occured to me when listening to you about the night sky, stonhenge etc is that the mesolithic, and neolithic people worshipped anything that was transitional, or in between. Where the sky met the land or water for instance. Marshes and bogs were neither land or water. Fire and water. The holidays were divided by summer and winter solstice and further divided between spring and fall etc. wells were considered spiritual because it was water coming out of the ground, hence throwing in coins and making wishes or we could say praying to the spirits of the wells. It makes sense theyd sit in the dark before dawn and watch the transition of night and day and build structures which showed the transition of seasons. Their world made sense. A time when the dead were closest to the living at the end of October and bringing back the sun at the winter solstice with fires burning all night. They noticed the miracle of the rabbits and woodchucks coming out of the ground and the time when daylight started lasting longer in spring and chickens starting to lay. They were very close to the natural world and found the spiritual sense of all the changes.
Another really good video, well done again.
Thanks for this wonderful content. I think Thornborough would have been quite the sight back in its heyday.
Here in Denmark we have one, that I know of, recognized "Dark Sky Park" at island of Møn (Moen), where the night sky isn't polluted by light.
It's actually a tourist attraction. Also, maby even more, in the daytime. 👍
A nice program and quite immersing.
Then it ends.
With all the neolithic artefacts in Yorkshire you could quite easily make a series of them or load it in one long presentation. A history teacher in secondary school told us that standing stones next to old tracks and roads were used as direction indicators.
If you're interested I made a video on Cumbria's prehistoric monuments too! Much more detail about the sites themselves in there!
I'll check it out.@@AdamMorganIbbotson

Once again the background music is far too loud. Unfortunately.
