The comments about the pin holding the wheel on the chariot, omitted to mention the composition of that pin. The people who made that pin understood about metal composition too... because some metals are brittle and some are not. They clearly used the correct metal for the the task it was being used for. Analysis of the metals would be very interesting - will that work be undertaken. Not just any old metal can be used for every job. Each metal component of the chariot will no doubt have a different composition.
Tried & tested no doubt. 🧐:)
Bronze angled tips with a iron rod centre & 'copper'? studs? just guessing
of course they'd know about it they had years of experience..
I am not sure to what extent our ancestors understood the capabilities of metals. My concern was- did we analyse the metal in this excavation to get an understanding of the extent of their knowledge of metals. This would have provided another dimension to the discussion altogether.
According to Irish verbal histories and legends, the charioteer was a highly respected warrior figure. His job was to transport the chief or champion to and from the site of battle, , but may have used a shield to protect himself, and/or his chief while steering the chariot. Some stories have it that spears were thrown from the chariot by the charioteer too, but his main job was to transport and protect. As the chariot became virtually useless once the charioteer was killed, it would make sense that he was protected as much as possible.
What an amazing episode and the information gained from ONE burial is unquestionably significant! Sheer amazement...
Dr Roberts enthusiasm and joy in her work is quite infectious.
Yep History Hit's team of stunning intelligent women academics are now my go-to for top programming - Dr Roberts, Eleanor Janega, Mary Beard, Lucy Worsley and Bettany Hughes - top women, top history programming!! Wish our garbage state-owned TV network would do the same in NZ!
@@brettcurtis5710 Yep she'd do'able!
The artist rendition used brown eyes. Romans recorded native Brittons had bleu eyes as well as some covered themselves in blue pains.
Dr Alice's whole demeanor just radiates intelligence, knowledge and virtue. What a treasure you are.
Huge respect for Raksha Dave... I could listen to her all day long. 🤩
Oh nice one Dr Alice does it again 😊great to see Loch search ,,,,Angie in Scotland
Oh man, my Achilles heel for CZcams videos - those with Dr. Alice Roberts - can listen to whatever she's talking about all day long.
well said sir well said
Wanker
Yes professor Roberts is excellent.
Agreed and easy to look at too lol
Me too
Absolutely amazing !!!!!
What a rush and so exciting for everyone working on this site! The person buried with the upright chariot w/horses must have been a really important person to be buried with something of such value back then. If they weren't the top individual of this community they were right up there with the top people. The craftsman that worked those timbers were amazing! So glad they found all these revealing finds.
Thank you for your amazing work of investigation in all your videos.. LOVE archeology,the awesome travel to our ancestral legacy..Class
British Chariot the Morris Minor of the Iron age.
Informative presentation.
I look at the Crannog and being in Scotland, they must have been chilly to live in.
The curator that said some of the cauldron copper was 0.1mm thick she couldn't possibly be suggesting that they were used at that thickness. That's the thickness of copper foil. It wouldn't have had enough structural integrity to even been handled, much less carry meal ingredients.
0.1mm is far thicker than foil.
@@russell2952 OK, heavy foil. Lol
It's about 0.004". That's 1/5th the thickness of a matchbook cover. There is no chance you could carry around any thing in a copper container that thickness much less cook with it.
@@russell2952My metal supplier offers copper foil up to 0.5mm and this is the commonly used limit where it would become sheet
Modern medical and culinary opinion is that unlined copper is not good for cooking most foods.
@@johnscanlon8467 Coper is actually poisonous, which is why coper cookware is "tinned" on the inside & must be re-tinned if the copper becomes exosed. That said, the ppoisoning from small amounts ingested over time might not have been obvious to folks back then---you become slowly ill, & if you only occasionally feast from copper cauldrons, there may be little apparent harm. It would have been hard for them to connect the copper w/ any illness.
Thank you Alice your voice is so relaxing u help me relax thenzzzzz many thanks haha ❤
Fantastic episode. Wonderful to see Raksha again after watching her on Time Team episodes! The chariot burial is simply mind boggling. I've done some ironwork (as a hobby), and to imagine the amount of knowledge and effort that went into making iron tires for the chariot is staggering. Also, thank you for questioning the term hill "fort"! Mountaintops are for viewing and impressing, not for extended living or defending. How would you even store enough water for the inhabitants for one day of normal use, much less for a protracted defense? It never made sense to me.
l find Raksha extremely annoying. When she first appeared she was just one of a number of people working on a site, but was always thrusting herself in front of the camera. She now appears as a presenter, but brings nothing to the table - she just asks fairly obvious questions of real experts.
I don't mind embedded adverts, but WHY is 10x louder FFS??
I pay for Prime (best money I ever spent!) so the ads don't bother me but I'm told if you drag the bar to the end then hit the "play again" symbol you can watch the whole thing with no ads. I'm not sure if it works but maybe...
Why are they SO loud? So you can't mentally zone out and ignore them?
@@hectorpascal Always been that way since the television age. It is meant to make you up and get your atention....primitive psychological tricks....you are right.
Very interesting indeed. Many thanks to everyone involved with this production.
VERY ENLIGHTENING
Thanks Alice enjoyed this great history ❤
thank you for this wonderful history presented so nicely
In the crannog section they're saying all the crannogs were built at the same time in a very short period, which shows they they were managing the woodland. I think it is, in fact, evidence that they weren't managing the woodland. I think it's likely that they had to stop building them because they'd used up all the suitable trees.
PS the crannog shown in the clip burnt down 3-4 years ago, but they're building another one, and more, on the other side of the loch
When travelling in remote parts of Australia you often find cart tracks remaining in the dry earth.
Of course I know that it’s not comparable to finding ruts in Yorkshire from iron age British carts, but it is just as exciting to see and discover.
The original roads in Britain followed trackways that had been used for generations, the Romans just made straight tracks that became straight roads, so they didn't introduce roads they just straightened some roads to make it easier for troops to march.
The shield is an interesting object, in Canada some indigenous cultures have what is called a copper. A shield like object that is often associated with a chieftain Usually hereditary but now elected. I can't help but think these shields of spectacular design being found could have a similar meaning to iron age people's. Perhaps the ones found in the Thames was a representation of the end of a hereditary line of ruler either by physically ending the genetic line followed by a ceremony to show everyone. Thank you for all the shows time and effort you guys put into this sharing of knowledge.
Amazing informative video. Thank you Prof Roberts.
The sword, spear and ax symbolize power, aggression and martial culture. The shield, when dissociated from any weapon of war, can symbolize the authority of the Law that defends the life and rights of those who have been unjustly attacked or harmed. The elderly man carrying the shield may be a judge, whose authority is independent of military threat and aggression.
Ah! Modern possible interprative symbolic associations (or even archaic ones) = facts...nice piece of logic there mate. The reality is that one should not free associate when establishing provenance or purpose...but hey! You do you on comment sections
Making up stories I see lol
Are you a expert??
I was about halfway through and Raksha Dave popped up. I KNOW HER ..!! .. says I .. Time Team etc. ..sweet. I just found it immensely fun to recognize one of the Archaeologists.
The Romans called anyone besides themselves barbarians .
So did every other major "tribe". It's called tribalism.
No they didn't. That was the Greeks.
The word 'barbarian' comes from the Greek term - _'bárbaros'_
The early Greeks used it to describe all foreigners, including the Romans.
Double standards = Hypocrisy = 'Blame the Victim' = Accusations in a Mirror = Blood Libel = Incitement to Genocide = Antisemitism = Capital offence = Hanging out at the Hague
_Accusations in a Mirror_ aka _Blaming the Victim_ is the same incitement to genocide that makes Antisemitism illegal. Illegal Occupation does not have a right of self defence in aid of an _illegal_ occupation and _illegal_ blockade, all peoples have a right to resist Colonial aggression and Terrorism
Incitement to Genocide is the commission of a Warcrime punishable by hanging per the Nuremberg Tribunal and Geneva Convention and can be prosecuted anywhere in the UN Charter Member Nations;
*_All affiliated assets can be seized as promoting Terrorism._*
*There is no legal premise for a Supremacist Ethnostate*
It's just called being a Terrorist.
Breaking an illegal Blockade on your own land is not an 'invasion'. *_"All peoples have the legal _right_** to resist colonial oppression."*_

So informative - this is a series without rival
Lovely to see Raksha Dave 💕
One was found literally four miles from where I am sat.
Another was found in WetWang in the north. Yorkshire wolds about 50 miles from here.
Allegedly, the tribe in this area was Parisi, the same Parisi from gaul, who Paris is named after.
Excellent!
I've learned a lot !
If you don't know !
It's symbolic ?
It's still very good television though , they are good story tellers !
I wanted so much to see a facial reconstruction to see what they might have looked like. I just love that!!
Nice, Quite interesting!
Another, easy to watch and listen to and understand from the good Doctor Alice
I love it
I was unconvinced by the hill fort section, it the idea that you'd bring your sheep and cattle to trade at these site only works if there's a water source, this was not mentioned in the clip. Water is very heavy and difficult to transport and animals and humans need a lot. Even a seasonal township, the lack of water would make it a pain to live there. The only case I can think of of a hill fort in England continuing in use into the medieval period is Old Sarum, that's built on chalk so fairly easy to dig wells, and even then it was abandoned, except as a castle, in the later middle ages for the more conveniently situated Salisbury.
If I were to guess their use I'd say that these big sites, on highly visible spots are saying look how powerful we are, don't mess with us. If it's display then you enclose a large area, and you can get away with small walls as long as they're visible. You'd probably have a nobles house (with slaves to carry water), and you'd have other houses of those who depended on that noble. Only occasionally would the populace at large resort to the hill fort, those who were prepared would have their houses built already, just needing repair. They'd come to the fort in times of danger, I also think it's possible that they'd go, possibly once a year, to pay their dues to the lord and probably what ever tax in kind he could impose.
I've seen more sunrises and sunsets from the top of that hill than I can remember, it's a beautiful and enigmatic place. As a local I can let you know that there are quite a number of springs around close to the summit, whether they were active at the time I don't know. Also the hill fort is sited around a natural depression at the summit and this creates a natural pool that holds water in all but the driest summer to this day. When you stand up there you can see every reason why they lived in the area. Pen y cloddiau is just one of a chain of hill forts that run along the Clwydian hills, well worth a look if you get the chance. 🧔 👍
The reconstruction of the charioteer's facial features reminded me of the actor, Patrick Stewart, a Yorkshireman.
The Shield for the Celt was a Symbol of Power
Coming from you that counts...
@@billythedog-309 Meaning sir, I?
@@Garwfechan-ry5lk Meaning making such unfounded claims counts for nowt.
@@billythedog-309 Obviously you have never read up Celtic History, I have not needed to, for it is my knowledge of my Ancestors and my DNA is virtually all from Ceredigion , I was part of a group from Wales that were Checked for the Skeleton DNA, I am 88 and then my Father was still alive he also had it checked, we have had Lands in that part of Wales on Farms for over 850 Years known, given by Charter from the De Clare family a Norman of Cymric descent but he was just granting our Land that had already been ours for Centuries, my DNA 96% Brythonic 1% Gael 1% Iberian the other made up of unknown lines.
Shield were objects of Status, usually like this in Bronze even Gold and Silver they have been found in many Rivers Lakes and Bogs not only in Britain and Ireland but on the Continent as well.
London when this was thrown in to the Thames was just an area of Shallow Lakes and rivulets, called Llundain, that is where the Romans some 300 Years or so later called the place Londinum, Lincoln also is Celtic objects were found there also in Lakes, the Romans knew which areas would be special to Celts and they Built there Colchester Col like the other names is Cymric , same Manchester, York comes from the Roman Eboracum which comes from the Celtic King Efrog.
I have a very good diary on place names in Britain written down well over 120 Years ago by a Ancestor of mine Sir Arthur Evans the Archaeologist, many English do not know that many of their Towns and Villages have a Celtic background in their names, places that have a name Coombe, comes from the Cymric Cwm a Valley.
Rivers many still keep their Cymric name Trent Derwent Avon ( Afon) Lugg Wye Thames Teme Dee Clyde ( Clwyd) grey in English Firth Fal ouse (ewys) Cam Catterick ( Catraeth) Penrith Carlisle Glasgow,( Glasgwyr) Edin( Burgh) Caereddynt Fal(Kirk) Aberdeen, Aberddu and Dozens of other names in Scotland.
Maes howe is a Brythonic name in Orkney, how it got it you tell me Maes is Field in Cymric Howe is possibly Huw.
Yes I do know that Shields were a Status symbol to the Celt but not for War, as a Gift to the Gods.
Diolch yn fawr i chi, pob hwyl, prynhawn da. Vote Labour!
Did the charioteer die along with his passenger, or was he deliberately killed before/during the funeral? Was he expected to die with his chariot and horses, like a captain going down with his ship?
Just discovered this: now subscibed.
A fantastic documentary done a disservice by a Buzzfeed-like clickbait title.
Thank you for that. Looking into the past from present is full of surprises. How do the experts feel concerning accuracy of wikkitree degrees of relativity. With so few surviving pieces of documentary evidence. I am a Victoria day bundle of joy in last new world at present moment in time.
@30:00 The show gets interesting they actually show some metal work appearing. 🥺.
56:23. damn. blue eyes and more brown than black hair and that is a mirror of me! that shocked me when you showed that picture.
The statement that the ramparts were not actually built for defence [45'-30"] is a 'slip of the tongue' of course it was defence ! A big , thick high wall with a total enclosure of the site....to keep out intruders, with ring ditches, this was a massive undertaking involving a definite fixed plan & scheme carried out by hundreds of organised citizens, over a lengthy period of time, the overall oversight being [ and required ] a body of highly respected individuals, a planning Committee if you like of Authority figures with a clear vision of the final result.The whole could be termed as civil Engineering, hundreds of years before the Romans arrived. So, the Roman 'War machine' was not Barbaric, is that what they the 'Invaders' would have us believe ??
All of what you say regarding planning is certainly true, but does not prove military use. There is a large and growing body of evidence that there was little or no military 'sense' to the way they are built (size, position, wall height, lack of weapons/bodies, etc). Later, they may have played a growing defensive role in some places (lowland areas?), but not at the top of highland grazing areas from the bronze to early iron ages - romance grazing pastures, meeting places and 'markets' make much more 'sense'. Today, we see a walled structure and assume defence; then, walled spaces could have delineated an important space and, perhaps, stopped livestock from wandering over the period of the event.
My personal feeling is that they served the purpose of a temporary 'town' when static towns, as we understand them, did not exist. They allowed administrative, legal, religious, marriage, trade and news-spreading to take place at regular intervals, all factors necessary for binding a society together - in the absence of permanent towns.
Not from my extensive knowledge reading & study. Right from the beginning when banding together for mutual support & allied social benefits were realised, ie;- safety in numbers,& the rule ( even though it may not have been written in Iron Age times) " united we stand-divided we fall'.. Raiding parties from neighbouring or roaming tribes was always a threat, & being on constant alert, watch, & guard was a must !..and nothing has changed, even so today Security everywhere is paramount.
Perhaps the crannogs were built to house the tribes most precious items and craftsmen and keep them safe from relatives 'borrowing' their stuff.
Perhaps we don't know and will never know..
It's so interesting to compare the intersection of the Britain and Roman cultures. So much in common as far as advancing human developments in areas like metal working, religious practices, farming and trade. The Roman "advantage" wasn't in the belief that external cultures were simply unskilled barbarians. Their power in this time was being an order more advanced in organization. There is an exponential difference in the "systems" that Rome was built on. Something as simple sounding as efficient bookkeeping gives a huge advantage in everything from military capability to commerce to infrastructure. It's great to see evidence that Iron Age tribes could build sophisticated chariots, build villages in lakes. But in comparison Rome had libraries with research papers on chariot building that anyone with access and education could copy. Their organization was what gave them the edge over even numerically superior peoples that had similar weaponry. As the "barbarians" learned to adapt the Roman advantage for themselves it altered who was in control.
So in short, the Roman advantage was everything they learned from the Greeks.
@@robw7676 Rome had the advantage of the Greeks living next door. Why not pick the best ideas and make them their own? Rome incorporated vast amounts of culture and knowledge from surrounding peoples. My point was: their strength was in how they organized what they learned. Record keeping and how they communicated that data gave them a huge advantage over those were less structured. Eventually people like the Visigoths learned those same lessons from Rome itself.
The romans withered when confronted by a horde from Tibet. Those brave men alongside their pack mules arose memories of Teutorberg.
Wonderful video, thank you.
There were Brythonic Celts in Rome before the Romans came to Britain, they were known to the Romans for Centuries as Traders through the Etruscans, who were close to the Celts. As always we look at History from the English view of British History, the Vatican itself has much more knowledge of Britain than the British Museum, for they have many early Christian clay tablets from Britain from the 1st Century of Christians and many early Christians were Celts. I am a Descendent of Sir Arthur Evans, much maligned, but he had Diaries by the dozens, I have read some of them of his Journeys through Galatea at Ankyra and Gaer, where he witnessed the Brythonic Celtic Burials close up, they were dated from 480 BC up to 560 AD, I am of the Opinion that Brythonic Celts were more widespread than Britain itself, we know that the French call the people of what is now Brittany Loire Normandy and the Pas de Calais and Belgium " Gallois " meaning Cymric speaking certainly well in to the 19th Century and early 20th Century Gallois was still spoken, at places like Calais Morlais Ypres Arras Amiens Dieppe Carentan Falaise Caen and in to Brittany where there are hundreds of Brythonic Celtic names down to Nantes Loire Camargue and Gironde.
Interestingly the Rivers Rhone Gironde Rhein Ronda Rhondda Rhonddu are all Celtic the last two named are in the Cymru but there were many other similar names in Britain that were Anglicised, the Dee was Aberhonddu to the Celt so to Aberdeen in Scotland Rhonwy also became Wye in two places in England, they were places of Good Waters.
Hillforts were actually places of summer Gathering of Cattle whilst the Lower Fields were Farmed and Harvested there are nearly 3000 Known Hillforts in Wales alone, wee were Farmers and Traders and our Language was spoken the Length and Breadth of Britain.
We also traded with the Continent the Greeks and Etruscans certainly traded at Caerfyrddin ( Carmarthen) so to the Romans before the so called Invasion, there were Brythonic Celts at Efisole and Caeri and in Rome before the Roman ( Arrival) many Celtic scholars have inclined to believe that the Etruscan Language may have been part Celtic, certainly the Etruscans knew them very well.
The one time the "men of culture" comment actually fits😂
What a great programme. Amazing finds
Can't wait for the dna reveal!!!! So...were the horses still alive when they were buried?
It seems disrespectful to destroy the final resting place of so many ancestors. I understand that information is important. But surely there will come a time, and in a not too distant future, when we will be able to extract data without destroying cultural sites. Our current methods will seem crude, just as we now look back at the earlier methods that destroyed so much information. How many skeletons in laboratory boxes are enough? Take your DNA and let the dead rest in peace.
We do it everyday when we are laying pipes, Building Houses,Roads,High rise buildings and tractors smashing them with there plows.And this is how we learn from our ancestors from looking at the bones and items they got buried in its our history..
@@SECRETORDER1336 I suppose the real question here is which is more important? Obliterating an ancient burial ground or building another housing development.
Fascinating - not sure how they managed to bury the horses upright without sedating them,
.
That portrait of the chariot owner looks like Steven Seagal...
I hope they didn't Bury the horses when they were alive.❤
The name London comes from the Cymric name Llundain meaning a place of Shallow Lakes, the name is much more Ancient than the Roman name, the Ancient names of that area were Cymric( Brythonic Celtic) , there the Celts would throw their Highest Value objects in to the Lakes and Rivers.
Pastures get exhausted, so you have to move the livestock about.

As for REFORM. Well they are just the new BNP, mixed with the National Front with a hint of the KKK.
34:50 Superstitions in medieval times like the superstition of dropping swords, shields, knives and other metal objects into bodies of water while crossing for safe travels is one of the reasons that we see so many of these objects exhumed from their watery graves. That tradition may have gotten their origins from early religious sacrifices.
Yay Raksha
I wonder what the archaeologists in a couple thousand years with think about us when they unearth a McDonalds or a Volkswagen bug..

Can we have accurate dimensions and tolerances of the capacities & dimensions of the wheels and cauldrons ?
Preferably not to the nearest 1/10th of a meter and such that is the normal offering.

Agreed! Very disrespectful. This person’a burial occurred in the manner that it was to provide the dead to rest in peace, with dignity.
When you are buried in the UK the graves are dug over regularly (as short as 20 year intervals) and the bones incinerated in a crematorium.
So...an exciting iron age chariot burial? Not sure they mentioned that enough.
I wonder how much archeology like this has been destroyed by building over the years.
Alice just exudes pure sexiness
Just imagine the hoardes of stuff thats still not been found in the UK your virtually walk over history everyday not knowing whats under your feet..You brits are so lucky but i love all the experts in the comments section 😂😂😂
Has the DNA OF THE PONIES BEEN STUDIED😊
The logistics of defending hill forts don't seem to add up for some of them. To big and with no access to natural sources of water. You would need a large number to effectively guard it, plus animals etc that all need water to survive any long periods. So a "statement" is probably better idea.
When did the Iron Age become the steel age ?
1870s.
Steel had produced long before then (13th Century BC,or thereabouts!) but that was often more accident than design, and wasn't manufactured on any scale until the Victorian period.
Another "lifetime find" every time i scroll CZcams
The shield from the river could have been in a boat that sank - I cannot see someone putting it in the river as a votive offering - mankind is too greedy
When did anyone ever suggest the ‘Romans introduced roads to Britain’???! What a ridiculous statement
Burying the horses alive is messed up
Totally. I call that barbaric. This type pf burial is prevalent throughout the fifteenth century.
I dont think a living horse would have just stood there being buried. I think they were already deceased.
@@pheart2381 how do they know this was a burial and not a result of a 'mud flood' or some other such catastrophe?
@@ZoeSpencerSound Layering and cuts.
The name of warlike thugs is quite applicable to the Romans. They probably used it as praise.
I think the ground was level for that carriage I think they simply walked in they still would not be standing if that was such that they jumped in then they would be killed they would have fallen over how come you don’t think of that
Gosh. I'll bet they wish they'd had someone as clever as you on the excavation.
Nothin primitive about us. "Until the lion learns how to write every story shall glorify the hunter" African proverb
As fascinating as these finds are, we must not forget that the subjects of discovery were once living people who meant much to those who knew them. Anything relating to their burial should be treated with respect. I am not saying that we should ignore the significance of these historical sites, just don't think of it as nothing more than entertainment.
Certainly fascinating. What happens to all those skeletons that were buried with so much ceremony and treasure? Are they just stuffed in boxes and kept in a stuffy drawer somewhere in a museum? Or are they displayed in a glass box for everyone to see? It would be a bit of a disrespectful in my opinion. Thus it would be interesting to know.
Question; Were Celtic Chariots not four wheeled? Perhaps I missed something, please do Educate me.
Four wheel=Cart or waggon.
Always two. The construction and use of chariots appears to have begun about 4000 years ago in modern day Russia and Kazakhstan and spread from there throughout the old bronze age world.
The first heavy cavalry units arose in the fertile crescent around 500BC, and chariots were gradually rendered militarily obsolete by the development of cavalry tactics and horses over the next couple of hundred years. The last chariots used by the Greeks, Persians etc... we're heavy chariots pulled by 4 horses with a crew of 3 men and fitted with large bronze blades to cut through infantry formations.
The Britons didn't have horses, only ponies. What the Romans encountered here with light chariots was a centuries old throwback for them. To them, chariots were for racing. Their first contact with the Britons would have been like a modern army turning up to find their enemies mounted on horses.
With the tools of war back then ' i think its safe to say ' we were all barberians 😁
likely less elegant than they pushing here, more like they lobbed off the heads of these horses then packed dirt around them...
Why couldn't they have lost these Treasures like a brass shield during a wild storm plus flooding and an accident or a peculiar event ?It cant be all on purpose
Why be "stunned"? After all the Romans were in Britain and they had chariots - maybe they were stunned about the condition??? But why?
They sure inferred a lot of BS about the chariot owner, maybe he was just rich and wanted to drive instead of walk?
I agree. God knows how much she earns coming out with all that invention.
ancient Greeks were carried ontheir shields
22:12 Lynchpin - think I found one but Flo not replied - Romans didn't invent British roads! 🤣and they weren't constructed like City pavements! Sadly my teacher never believed we had a villa, but we did... with Medusa!
This guy looks just like my husband lol.
And your still married to him?? 😂👍 Joke by the way but some people these can't take jokes..
Come in, folks, don't be daft. The only thing that stuns archeologists is when their perfectly crafted funding proposals are rejected.
This is what Time Team became now after all these years. This series puts me right out now in my Golden Years, practically yawning now.
