  • @ErikHare
    Thank you very much. This needed to be done. I have never seen anything this comprehensive about the ancient roots of my people. You have made a great contribution to history
  • @Axemantitan
    Saying that the Welsh would "not go quietly into the night" was a wonderful tribute to Wales's premier poet, Dylan Thomas.
  • @Anders_Lund
    "Marauding Sea People, whoever the heck they were" A pretty good way of describing a people we know basically nothing about 😂
  • @jonbaxter2254
    Ah, I love this stuff so much. Before the Romans even set foot on British soil, there was over 1,200 years of history. Kingdoms and battles and lovers and betrayels. All of it. I wish the Celts wrote down or documented these, but we have awesome artefacts like hillforts and hoards. And then we have standing stones like Stonehenge which was 2,000 years before the Celts even stepped onto Britain!
  • @cullenadasek9119
    “Caesar’s hot girl summer in Kent” was a masterpiece, if I ever become a history teacher I’ll steal that
  • @jdstocco84
    Far more coverage than any History channel documentary. I like how you covered post Roman occupation. Most medieval history picks up at the Age of Vikings. Very well done.
  • So nice having the source material come alive on screen with these amazing illustrations. The writer is honing his craft I see;) So many unexpected comedic relief points this is truly a masterpiece
  • @danieljessen8009
    I never thought I would hear the narrator say the words “whoever the heck they were” or “hunky dory”. I love it
  • It's always a blast to be able to learn about the ancient cultures of the past, especially the more obscure and mysterious ones like the Celtic ones, and even more so the Britons with their unique fusion culture they adopted later on in the days of the Roman Empire! ❤️🔥
  • @eltonsilva9620
    You are phenomenal. Please don't stop producing this type of content. It has done good to many who want to truly study history. Thank you for everything!
  • @DanielCoutoF
    Your content is a masterpiece in every sense. I'm at a loss for words when it comes to describing how impeccably crafted, well-written, and beautifully animated your videos are. Your ability to distill and present complex historical narratives involving millions of people and countless civilizations in an engaging and comprehensible manner is truly impressive. This channel is a true gem.
  • @Koopinator
    I love how you say "uno-reverse" like it's a normal verb.
  • Seriously, thank you for these long form documentaries. I love them. It's very obvious you put a lot of effort into the writing and it clearly shows. Great content.
  • @sak1339
    Loved this. An amazing encapsulation of British history. I'd love to see a similar history picking up where this one ends. Excellent work! Much appreciated.
  • @derwynowen8609
    I`m Welsh and to me Arthur comes from arth, meaning bear, so it`s possible it was a nickname for a great warrior and not just one single person. Also around 536, there was a huge volcanic explosion in the Indonesian region which greatly affected crop yields across the world which would have also held up anglo-saxon expansion.
  • @EgoEroTergum
    Been reading Coming of the King, by Nikolai Tolstoy. It's a tough read but packed to bursting with Celtic and Welsh mythological references. Looking forward to this, hoping it will really put the myths into perspective.
  • @anonisnoone6125
    2 hours of documentary from a great history channel about a historic people that I'm really fascinated by? I need to make some time for this.
  • @loristrode9556
    Its crazy how this history isn't talked about more often it's amazing
  • @mickcollins1921
    This documentary did a fantastic job of coherently linking the ancient continental celts with the Britons that descended from them, leading up to the clashes with the Anglo-Saxons which transitions somewhat neatly into the Normans and modern times. And it was even a little cheekier than normal. Combined with the other long-format documentary on the continental Celts, this is the most comprehensive history I've ever seen of the people who helped shape Rome and were the forefathers of the people who became the Irish. You have my deepest thanks for your efforts here.
