Season 2018

  • S2018E01 A History of Britain - The Humans Arrive (1 Million BC - 8000 BC)

    • August 4, 2018

    -DISCLAIMER- I initially made this video as part of a fun hobby project without thinking it would get this much attention. I used a bunch of other peoples artwork and music to do it and as such this video is not monetised in any way. If you are the owner of any of the content in this video please get in touch via my email address included in my channel info. In this first episode we go back to the very beginning of human life in Britain. Note: The exact identity of the human species found at Happisburgh is a little more up in the air than this video makes it sound. Currently academic consensus looks to be moving towards Homo antecessor as the correct identity, however the stone tools found at Pakefield and Boxgrove are almost certainly from Homo heidelbergensis. This was simplified to Homo heidelbergensis in the video for the sake of brevity. Homo heidelbergensis may also have been ambush predators on top of scavengers and fishers.

Season 2019

  • S2019E01 The Bronze Age Collapse

    • March 8, 2019

    -DISCLAIMER- I initially made this video as part of a fun hobby project without thinking it would get this much attention. I used a bunch of other peoples artwork and music to do it and as such this video is not monetised in any way. If you are the owner of any of the content in this video please get in touch via my email address included in my channel info. In this special episode, we explore the events of the Late Bronze Age Collapse, when civilisation in the Eastern Mediterranean came to an abrupt and mysterious halt. This episode holds a debt to Professor Eric H. Cline, whose book "1187 BC: The Year Civilisation Collapsed" was one of the main sources for this work. You can buy his book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Bronze+age+collapse His lecture is also on youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRcu-ysocX4 Note: The pronunciations in this episode were a complete minefield (that's ancient Assyrian for you), so apologies for any mistakes on my side. The next episode will be more History of Britain.
