Significant archaeological discoveries across Northern Britain include a well-preserved Roman fort, a Viking boat burial, and the Ness of Brodgar, a critical Neolithic site. At the Ness of Brodgar, findings suggest it was a ritualistic center, with evidence like decorated stones and fragmented mace heads hinting at ceremonial practices. The Roman site of Binchester reveals new insights into Roman life in Britain, including a communal toilet and bathhouse, as well as artifacts like an early Christian ring, reflecting the religious transition from paganism to Christianity.

    Please add the year these programs were made? Helps with context. And is something history buffs care about.

    Calling it a cathedral is a bit of a stretch, was/is the Ness of Borodgar a city? I thought that was the rule for cathedrals, maybe church would be a better name for this
  • @AntPDC
    Cathedrals are the seats of Christian Bishops. There is no such thing as a "5000 year-old Cathedral". Silly title.
  • @suzannecontant
    "Could be interpreted as 'ritualistic'." Every time experts don't know what an item or building or location was used for they immediately jump to "ritualistic". 😂😂😂😂😂
  • @andreweden9405
    What a dumb title! Saying that you "found a 5,000 year old cathedral" is like saying that you "found a 5,000 year old parliament building", or the tomb of a "5,000 year old prime minister"... "Cathedrals" weren't really a concept 5,000 years ago!🤣

    Why is this such an irritable comment section? You have an extensive complex of buildings with signs of enormous feasts, but lacking signs of domestic use. It seems likely that whatever went on at the Ness of Brodgar involved the whole community in some non-prosaic activities. Why couldn’t those activities have been religious?
  • @elijahhodges4405
    Isn't it interesting people with no religion always go to religion when they can't figure out something they've found.

    Эти люди жили до великого потопа. Они все погибли как написано в Библии. Это и есть причина почему об этой цивилизации абсолютно ничего неизвестно кроме этих каменных строений.

    We have these same tombs all up and down the north east coast of the United States
  • @UnitedFrequency
    What the hell?! What causes these structures to be below the ground?? Total sus and I’m angry for being lied to.
  • @chrisp308
    Just more make believe in my opinion everyone wants to make everything so spiritual did anyone ever think that the folks were just trying to survive?
  • @ThatIsJustCrazyTalk
    Why is that woman even bothering wearing latex gloves? For crying out loud, y’all dug the stuff out of the dirt. Just makes zero sense.

    You have a trading post with a large granary. The seas changed on them trading fell off. They did their best to either carry off or consume their trade goods. Or they destroyed them. I think you should all rethink your site.
