CARN EUNY Celtic Village and Fogou // History Documentary

Рет қаралды 30,044

Күн бұрын

Cornwall, or Kernow in the Cornish language, was once part of an independent Celtic kingdom called Dumnonia. In this documentary we travel 2000 years back in time to the Celtic iron-age village and roundhouses of Carn Euny. The Iron Age village preserves some of the oldest Celtic architecture, as well as a mysterious passage and chamber called a fogou and a sacred well which has been in constant use since pagan times. We shall also see reconstructed Celtic roundhouses from Butser ancient farm to get an insight into the daily life, culture, religion and economy of the Ancient Britons.

Here in Galicia we still have those Celtic roundhouses still standing and being used as houses, such as in Os Ancares and in Vale de Poldros. Not only, but Romano-Celtic Britons did settled here in Galicia as well, during the Anglo-Saxon conquest of the British Isles, they settled in the northernmost part of our region, giving it the name of Britonia.

I am equally fascinated in the history of Cornwall as with the rest of the British Isles. One of my ancestors came from the Somerset area and his surname was Sims( originally Symme and other older variants ). Interestingly his ancestors were largely from Cornwall and Wales. He was a captain of a merchant ship during the 1700’s and lived on Antigua Island ( with his wife and children) in the Caribbean…his grave is there.

The village I am from was once a celtic castrum, not much remains of it though, apart from some very old, short, stone walls along the roads of the surrounding woods. The main reason for it though is that the place never stopped being inhabited, the same place where Celts and Romans once lived in, is still occupied today, and who knows how long before them it was already inhabited for.

Celts always have fascinated me as they do everyone. When I thought of converting to a Pagan religion, I chose between the Germanic religion of my Paternal line, or the Celtic one of my Maternal line. I still learn about Celtic religion whenever I can and I sacrifice to my Celtic ancestors during ancestor veneration as well as my Germanic ones. Hey Tom, if you read this I'd like your opinion on something. I noticed some stark parallels between the Indo-European horse twins and the story of Lewis and Clark. Two men go from the West to the East as ordered by a leader, they save a kidnapped woman, one dies and one becomes a leader, both are revered as the founders of new lands to be settled by a people. This synopses applies to both stories. Not to mention that Jefferson was the leader who sent Lewis and Clark on their expedition, and Jefferson is also the one who proposed American identity to be descended from Hengest and Horsa - the divine horse twins of the Anglo-Saxons. Is this a huge coincidence or could there be more to it?

Thank you for making this documentary. I absolutely adore the Iron Age. Something so mysterious and haunting about this period of history. The Iron Age is almost like a Dark Age before the Dark Ages, a Dark Age after the Heroic Age of Bronze. The Iron Age really touches my heart because this is when Britain became Britain, and Ireland became Ireland. This is when the modern cultural ethnogenesis of this corner of the world truly began, in this seemingly temporally isolated and foggy remnant of history. Of course the Anglo-Saxons were equally as important with their cultural and genetic input, but their world wasn't shrouded with the fog of time, mystery, and break-down of global trade and commerce that the world of the Iron Age existed in.

Tom, if we go by Celtic From the West as favoured by Cunliffe and Koch, there may be some continuity from the Beaker People into the Celts in the Bronze Age. These people seem to have considered the earlier megalithic structures as sacred to the ancestors, they were still important to the Celts. Also, there actually is evidence that Celtic grain stores sometimes featured the remains of people and their bones, perhaps sacrificed, perhaps ancestors somehow put in with the grain as in the soil, as with the produce of the earth. So, there sometimes IS ritual practice with Celtic food stores. Not much of a neo-pagan myself, just wanted to leave this comment with some extra info.

@Survivethejive Жыл бұрын

Celtic from the West is wrong, although the modified version which includes parts of East-Central France as the celtic homeland as well as central Europe is plausible. The Atlantic bronze age culture was not Celtic although those people did adopt Celtic languages eventually. Therefore of course some parts of the BA culture survived into the IA. As for the megaliths, the BA people actively vandalised many of them. It was probably only later in the IA that people began to incorporate megalithic monuments into Celtic myths.

@thegreenmage6956 11 ай бұрын

@@Survivethejive Interesting points. You’re referring to Patrick Sims-Williams? Celtic from the Centre? How do you consider it wrong exactly? You’re probably disagreeing with the pushing of Celtic (language if nothing else) too far into the Early BA? I certainly think the idea of a BA Celtic movement into the West from Central Europe may have been followed by an increased “re-Celticisation” from the West in the Late BA moving into the IA. Was there widespread vandalisation in the BA? I expect that as the Indo-Europeans spent more and more time in these Western land we gradually can expect less aggressive views towards the earlier people, such that they become one in the IA.
