Britain BC Episode 1 – Host Francis Pryor
Take Aways:
- British have always been a resourceful group
- Metal mining of copper started 4000 years ago. One can see why metal was a carrier of value and is to this day in some regards.
- Druidism would have been an interesting ritualistic religion to see in person
- The Romans were the carrier of centralized / elitist government and they brought that to England – I hope to see this model of social interaction die within my lifetime.
- Sea Henge the huge oak tree buried upside down
Britain BC Episode 2 Host Francis Pryor
- Another wooden road causeway similar to the one described in Barbarians – Terry Jones
- Orkney stone houses
- Ring of Brodgar – rings all over U.K.
- Farmers are interested in the passing of the seasons
- It would be nice to rid our society of the Roman empire’s influence
Tacitus ( shortly after the conquest of Britain ) : And so the population was gradually led into the demoralizing temptations of our caves, bathes and sumptious banquets the unsuspecting Britons spoke of such novelties as civilization when in fact they were features of their enslavement.
