Neil Oliver – Building The Future - Podcast episode 8

Episode 8: Always giving back to the earth in thanks for what was taken is an ancient practice, a forgotten knowledge and wisdom about how to treat the planet that we’re having to relearn in the C21st.

In this episode Neil takes us to the incredible lunar landscape of Grime’s Graves in Norfolk where Neolithic miners dug deep underground chasing seams of high-quality flint that was used for making tools and weapons.

I love the description of the antler leaning against the wall underground all through the ages of history. Neil’s turns of phrase paint such a visceral beautiful landscape to listen to. Amazing!

[Rustymouse]

The most beautiful statement, "having taken from the world, you give back, and the world gives again".

I don't usually comment but I always watch you here & on GBNews & have to say what a blessing you are to all of us. You remind us that there are still a few people like yourself who have the rare quality of "common sense". Thank you....

[Timetangle]

I really look forward to the story of our British Isles. What a wonderful journey in such turbulent times. Thankyou Neil

[ianthebastard]

Always a joy to be with you Neil, you always brighten my day no matter what the conversation.

[julieblackstockseastanglia]

These bring me so much joy, , I can't begin to tell you

[MaureenMcCrink]

Just discovered you on GBNews! Was so intrigued, and now find this!! Wonderful.

[kathwallace]

Have your books....excellent reads, I can walk the past, the woods, the wilds without leaving my armchair. Thank you Neil.

[colinalexander]

You have to admire the ancient peoples.They worked so hard just to survive.
Thank you Neil for telling their stories so we can grasp where we fit in today.

[derekmills]

Neil, utterly fascinating. Thank you.

[cheche]

"Every version of human kind that's ever been" that's love & respect for every ancestor who came before,
A beautiful statement

[annmorris]

Excellent again, Neil. I so much enjoy these podcasts and also your show on GB News.

[RidesInforests]

Thanks Neil. Although I truly do love your videos and have found great comfort knowing you are out there keeping this stuff alive in peoples hearts, I'm having trouble whimsically observing our history when we are under attack from our own govts and can barely feed my family on two jobs.
This land is sick with the terrible crimes of people we put our trust in. When these tyrants are brought to justice and the people are given the whole truth and after we've had time to heal, then I will have peace of spirit enough to look back with a lighter heart.

[benjaminlasseter]

These videos about the history of the British Isles have been such a joy to me. Thank you, Neil.

[Irene-lffr]

Your knowledge is invaluable. Love and support from Renfrewshire. I do truly beleive what is above is below

[luminair]

Know what Neil means by was drawing a bush landscape with some huge boulders in it some years ago here in Sydney Australia, where some time through the drawing process I spontaneously felt a really strong feeling of the energy of the land and its history. It felt like I was being transported back in time to when this land was formed and more. It was an incredibly uplifting experience, so much so that I didn't want to stop drawing; and it was through that experience that I came to understand what the Australian aboriginal term of 'dreaming' meant. I can't help but wonder if Neil has had these kind of experiences.

[sharonM]

Love and prayers from Northern Ireland 🙏❤

[JeffCarr-hwsj]

I taught history from 27 years and I like to think I was half as good as you, Neil. Your love and kindness is amazing.

[nzdoris]

What a time to be hurtling around this fine universe with wonderful people like yoo.

[johnoakley]

I enjoyed that podcast immensely Neil, thank you. Now for my confession, I live in Suffolk, not that far from Grimes Graves, and must have driven past them many, many, times. I have not visited them once though, to be honest I am a disabled man, and climbing by ladder down a shaft would be impossible for me, but I would enjoy seeing the "Pock marks" over the landscape. Thank you again for a very interesting and informative podcast, all the best to you.
