Not ashamed to say, Professor Alice is my History Crush! Love her enthusiasm, knowledge and style.

What I would give to be able to go back in time and see everything as it was with my own eyes.

Academics often seem to be surprised by the resourcefulness of earlier populations. As if the levels of intelligence and human ingenuity are preconceived as inconsiderable. Great bountiful find helping to mitigate limited misconceptions.

Every single episode of Time Team, Chronicle or Odyssey.

"We didn't realize the extent of interaction with mainland Europe."

It's like 20 miles away in some spots. People make it from Cuba to the US on boats made from water bottles, McD wrappers and a prayer.

People figured out boats ago. This isn't complicated lol.

I reckon that thing at 20:30 ish, isn't anything to do with a battle, it's a figid spinner.

You were talking about a fire. What did they carry out in the emergency? Blankets, some jewelry, some food had to be carried out quickly. Did each child carry their own bedding out?

0:45 is when my mouth fell open of the amazing beauty of her eyes and face.

Need to focus on the documentary... Need to focus on the documentary... Need to focus on the documentary... Need to focus on the documentary...

The First Nation Britons.
The people giving us 55-60% of our DNA.

[ACD]

Why not just admit this is a pirated Digging for Britain from the BBC?

[elijahhodges]

Alfred didn't call himself a Saxon, or Anglo.

[elijahhodges]

I believe Christianity got to Britain with the Romans probably by 200 AD. I believe it probably didn't take off until the Romans left.

[mikef.]

Oh no, not another one of these light-weight froth-and-bubble presentations by the ever-photogenic Alice.
The title gives you a solid clue about what you're in for: the ultimate contradiction in terms! A "burnt Bronze Age village" that's "perfectly preserved"? Give me a break from all this shallow and hyped-up 'archaeology'. There are far more serious and balance archaeological channels on YT, people.

[jacquelinevanderkooij]

UK thinks their country was alone in Europe, except in the 6th century invasion 😂😂
Until they find another exemption....

[johnlord]

You make Christianity statements that are very inaccurate. The British at the time of Old King Cole, the father of Princess, Queen, Empress Helena of Britain, married to Constantius Chlorus of Armenia in the 300s, had early Christianity since the times of Emperor Claudius in the 40-60s CE. These were/ARE Celtic Christianity, which is the original and true faith of the ancients, 3 centuries, 300 long years before the Council of Nicaea in 300s CE under Constantine, and the rise of the catholic organization of distortions. With recent discoveries of the truths of the Angles and Saxons, they were Celtic Christians who came from China of the Huang capitol and southern China (of the Nestorians documented in 300s CE). They were refugee migrations back to the Mideast and Europe in the time of the Dark Ages, and massive climate changes, and population wars of the Siberian Steppes Wu Hei versus Asia and India in the 400s-600s CE. These people were not Germanics, but population migrations through Germany, but also Scandinavia were they became the origins of the Ireland, northern Wales, Scotland, and Britain lands of the invading Finngails and Dubhgails.
