I wish History Channel was still interested in History. Glad I found Timeline.

My body- Girl you're exhausted and have to be up at 6 am My brain- What tf was up with Stonehenge? Who built it? Why was it built? I don't need sleep, I need answers!

This system of justice reminds me of a local case which occurred in a neighboring community here in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. A young man was suspected of stealing local donkeys and after several animals disappeared over time, he was apprehended and hung from an oak tree - his body was buried somewhere outside the community cemetery. At Halloween there's a reenactment of carrying his coffin around to find someplace to bury him - generally kids are recruited to carry the empty coffin, while reenactors refuse him a resting place. It's good history and spooky. And no more donkeys disappeared, according to documentation.

Stonehenge is new compared to the standing stones in Scotland especially in Lewis and Orkney which are more than 5000 years old 👍

unfortunately, we'll never know. the 1 major kryptonite in archaeology, is the loss of context to past events. as the sword expert noted, we'll never know which type of blade actually used. this is why places like Stonehenge has no clear understanding what it is even for.

The skeleton is 1300 years old, not 3,000. Disappointing as I was hoping to learn more about the Neolithic age. Oh well.

I miss this type of television programming. I had never seen this; it was fascinating to see science at work like this! 😊 I hope you found a reason to smile today!😁

Jackie McKinley, a well respected Scientist/Archaeologist and if I recall correctly Jackie worked a great deal with Mick Ashton and "Time Team".

1350 yr old remains not 3000.

Thank you for uploading

I'm always impressed by how straight and relatively pristine ancient teeth are. I had braces for 2-3 years and my teeth still aren't as straight and gap-free as those skulls.

My money is still on an aqua vitae smuggling deal that went bad.

That dude had better teeth than most modern people I know!

That guy around 52 minute mark said that nothing was happening at Stonehenge but this skeleton proves they were thinking about it. But didn't they say earlier that they had gallows there?

Every time I look at Stonehenge, I think it's a failed bronze age kitchen remodel

700 AD is not 3,000 years old. As title says

Great detective work. Any CSI would be proud.

This should be called .... history channel wishes it could be us

Terrifying but really intriguing.

7:19 OMG THEY FOUND NEARLY HEADLESS NICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"It's only funny until someone loses their head." Stonehenge Mom to rambunctious" son.

You’re the man dude

we definitely know that stone henge was of significance to the area at that time....no matter if it was a religious place or simply a fun gathering place.... the beauty of it and the ability to build such a place without heavy vehicles and equipment will always amuse and peak human curiosity!!!!

Wow! What a powerful ending!

This film needs to be re-edited. It stops on it's own and I have to restart it and it is not bc of commercials.

16:00 riveting content

no one knew who they were......or... what.....they were doing

That's a nice story, but it could also have been a murder. A "friend" attacking the victim from behind while he is sitting down watching the stones. Then burying him so that no one finds the body. Just saying...

I really like this channel

Why does this cut off after part two of three?

15:32-17:35 36:31-38:35

That's not murder... it's capital punishment!

I always thought this was a strange place to visit...RIP

what's with the very large amount of blanks in between

All they did to prep this for upload was stick the canned intro on it. The editing breaks were left in, including the timer for resumption of the program.

Hmmm...a murder? ...or a sacrifice? Question before viewing...

Why do they Always assume that when the romans left Britain took a dive into the “dark ages”, like we forgot how to talk and trade and live... 😑😂 the ancients tribes would have gained so many different and modern ways and technology from the romans. Life would have been amazing. No oppression and left behind life advancements and such..

To punish him after death they buried him in unconsecrated ground their logic being he would be punished for eternity but instead by burying him where they did they instead gave him eternal life in the history of Britain

It was the Kurgan

No way!! I recognize Jackie McKinley from Time Team!! She was always such a good sport and seemed to really enjoy herself✌️

No date is given for this documentary, but the archeology seems to be out of date. Pearson's momentous discoveries at Stonehenge began, what, more than ten years ago? -- but the regular use of Stonehenge as a cemetery isn't mentioned. Modern techniques for determining the history of bones, where the person grew up, where they lived their lives, don't appear to be known at the time this documentary was made either. If you're interested in Stonehenge it's well worth your while to check KZfaq for more recent films. There are at least two of them.

Awsome

It stops 15 minutes into the documentary 😪

Nearly Headless Nick?!???!!!

At 24:45, we hear how dated this documentary is, for all of the talk about DNA and carbon dating. The narrator spends a bit of time telling us about the darkness which descended after the Romans receded, throwing the land into utter darkness and lawlessness, and how the Anglo Saxon invasion brought the light back to Britain, a story which has been well and truly debunked. Of all the aspects of history that I love, I think my favorite is watching how new facts forcibly modify the old entrenched scripts, or dig them up altogether....I think it’s the intellectual flexibility one has to have which interests me the most!

good documentary of Stonehenge 🚬🚬🚬🚬 thanks u tube

Wooowwww🔥

okay, I'm no genius but are they saying that the ONLY 1 man was buried around stone henge was a local bad guy??? I would consider it an honor to be the only person buried in a significant, historical, place.

I think it's obvious who that body belongs to... The founder of Stonehenge, Mister Stonehenge. Kinda like the way Apple, maker of the iPhone & Mac, was named after its famous founder, Mr. Apple...or how John is the owner of John's Auto Care.

Yessssssss

Repetition, repetition, repetition! They really overdo the execution scene, to absolute boredom.

Giants built stone henge

Lots of speculation going on here, but interesting none the less.

Stonehenge was covered by remote veiwing if you can find it,like every site alot went on. Supposedly a roof was on top...who knew.

The ladies at Durham uni seem to have more success

Maybe he was standing. What if he was on a horse? The man was running, trying to escape. Peace and agap'e.

The best bit was watching the osteo archaeologists and regular archaeologists trying to work out how the victim was killed. Short soft men & women trying to figure how you even swing a sword, then disregarding that the attacker might have been a taller soldier and the victim a short soft academic.. and not figuring the mans head might've been laid on a stump or stone before execution (to extend the vertebrae in the neck for effective impact - historically prominent method btw). It was like watching primary school students working on a project they had no idea of.

It is puzzling that they thought there were only the two swords in common use. The Leaf Blade and the Fenix were both in common use at the. The Maximus Espana Gladius was a sword that was pretty much on the way out, during the period they are talking about. IMHO ;-)

Did these pop down the library for this information There's plenty of reasons for this to have happened

Sooo many commercials. WHYYYY 😭

I didn't know Daffy duck's wife was on here

I shared. Just because

no subtitling=thumbs down/////am deaf

After doing my dna I am related to some of the people buried in stonehenge.

Subtitles please

Quite troubling that the archeologist didnt know how tall the individual would have been. Not exactly very intensive forensic examinations. Even if she were acting for the camera it makes no sense to diminish your credibility deliberately.

It would seem Stonehenge was a place for either a market place, meeting place for rituals and the man was a tax collector or intruder or scout so they hit him from behind. Of course they'd bury him, otherwise that open area would bring predators to the area. It's the least they could do, they don't care about him, but they care about themselves and why they buried.

Wonderful program. I have a crush on the presenter but thats not entirely why i enjoyed it. 🤭Yank.

Very good show, but this video of it was badly edited, gaps are far far too long. Looks like the Advert breaks were left in, so I assume this is a broadcast copy.

Who's here in 2020? The mysterious man was murdered by Alan Greenspan. He has a time machine.

Stonehenge is used as a some kinda clock or something

Forgot to get the timestamp....was that lady with the bone in the hood just pretending to do sthing with that tool or can she just wave that thing and get some result?

Invisalign

Its probably Waldo thts why nobody can find him

It’s not working

If your analysis is correct, he died as a criminal. Sad 😔

I enjoy Brian Forester much more ... not fantasy

If this man was such a criminal he deserved what he got.

Bad editing with those long gaps between the three parts.

Well obviously he fell off a ladder, backwards and landed neck first on an open tin of peaches. FFS don't leave your lunch laying around!

Steel swords go much further back than thought here. 600BC, and earlier.

Rome knew how to keep the hooligans in line!

Why the stupidly misleading title? 1400 years is not 3000!

not 3000 years old.misleading.

misleading title

Every time he said "Mike Pitts", I heard Mike Pence, and it gave me the creeps... xD

What if a woman did it? Women wouldn't have as much force in the swing of a weapon.

Unwatchable ads

You can still determine race through skull type. What do you mean discredited??? Lie!

My great grandmother spoke of Stonehenge beheadings and of the religious significance! We are the Robinson Clan from the Isle of skye. She spoke of 7 years ley time and that the heads were removed and taken to a religious center on the Isle of sky and was adored with jewels and pearls and gold! It was placed up into a cave later after a religious procession.Thats what she kept telling me when I was a young women!

Regarding the Celts who rebelled against the Romans, you guys left out the fiercest & most successful warriors. Queen Boudica, the leader of the Iceni tribe of Celts took on the Romans in 60 AD. In Celtic culture women weren't men's property, they were equal to men, often they were warriors. So when her husband the King died, she had the nerve to assert herself as the ruler of the Iceni people & their land. Queen Boudica was 'put in her place' by being stripped & her back lashed, & her daughters, the princesses, were raped by Roman soldiers! Outraged, Queen Boudica, her daughters & her people gathered other local tribes to fight against the Romans. They met a Roman legion in combat & won a total victory. How could a Celtic army led by a 'wild, red-haired' woman defeat the well seasoned soldiers of a Roman legion? Initially the leader of the Roman legions laughed in disbelief. That is until Boudica's army defeated the entirety of the Roman legion that was protecting a Roman outpost, 'Londinium' - later London - & burnt it to the ground! Needless to say, Queen Boudica & her Celtic warriors were now taken very seriously. In their 3rd battle with the Romans Queen Boudica, her daughters & most of the Celts were slaughtered.

Ok here’s your heads up! Stonehenge was a yearly travel spot where people saught wives, traded livestock and partied! That guy that got killed was in a business deal with another individual he was murdered because another individual wanted the same deal, so he and his buddies got rid of the competition so to speak! I can’t recall if it was a thing of weaponry or food storage, possibly a potential marriage contract. Anyway his confidence in his superior product and it was so superior that it impressed the one he wanted the contract with, his murder was of great loss due to the fact his methods went with him to the grave. A great loss to all mankind, it truly angered the rich fellow!

Fascinating! But my gawd the adverts!! One or two ads before the video starts. One at the beginning by the channel's narrator. At least 8 or 9 throughout the hour. There are far, far, far more interruptions than I can watch. You're just getting into it and an advert pops up. Another less than 5 minutes later. It's impossible to stay "in the story" because of the constant interruptions. This is my first visit and although this looks amazing, the adverts are too frequent and all concentration is lost. It's too bad. This channel looks just great~(adverts have ruined YT, just like everything else they touch) ~but I won't be back. *sigh*

Liam neeson

Pure speculation, they should be ashamed.

🏖

Android frame to sale

Imagine all of these people so possessed with discovering exactly how this man died... are actually all the people who were at the original scene, reincarnated. I believe this happens. Some twist of karma has us fixated on events that make no logical sense to the lives we live now.

from 15;38 is dark only dark to see till at 17;42

They should have left that person in thier resting place.it was prob Merlin!
