I listened to the whole first episode without hearing anything wrong in his voice. Went to the comments and saw uptalk complainers. He uptalks at commas, not full stops, which is appropriate. He annunciates well, speaks calmly and not too fast, I'm taking in info not thinking about his voice.
Hey KZread, give this guy more attention.
I normally find it hard to follow documentaries and things like this, but this is the most straight forward and easy to understand documentary ive watched
This is a re-made version of the original Stone Age Builders episode, after I pulled the original due to some copyright concerns. I hope you enjoy it. The Bronze and Iron episode is taking a little longer to remake due to issues licensing images. I'm therefore moving on to my next original video, which I hope to have out in the first week of September.

zzebowa it’s not facts he’s just reading translations of roman texts. The Roman texts have not only been misquoted but they were mostly False sensationalism created by roman generals to make themselves look good in the fact they conquered the lands. This man says the people of Britain were barbarians like it’s a fact. That is not a fact. That is what romans told the people back in Rome. With no mention of the pagan religions. Same story throughout most of the world. We don’t know our true history. But I know what this man is saying is just ancient Roman texts about the place which have been translated from a language that no longer is spoken into a language that was no spoken at the time.

Totally agree
This is great. The clear structure of the writing, and your un-fancy but sincere delivery brings the history across clearly. Also major props for your approach to creative commons and credits. Quick bit of constructive criticism; a bit of script doctoring would prevent repetition like "the significance of celestial events would have a greater significance.." : cf. "the significance of celestial events would have been emphasized" or whatever. But anyway, this is seriously good. It should be on the BBC really.
I'm loving these shows!! I grew up watching in search of history on the history channel in America. The guys voice is epic from that show and yours is too! I haven't seen much of your videos as I put them on to go to sleep with but I've definitely found a source of awesome material with a great narrator!!!
Something about this narrator and how he says certain words in ways that would normally make me think twice in such an informed way that I absolutely love.
I know this is a couple of years old, but I am first following your documentaries and I just wanted to congratulate you on such an improvement in dictation and vocal tone in your presentation. The earliest Britain video had a lot of vocal inflection that was distracting and I saw a bunch of comments complaining about it, but to your credit you adjusted and now sound like a fantastic narrator.
Your documentaries are fab! I really enjoy your narration and choice of imagery to support the script. Keep up the good work.
Rarely do I watch a documentary this long. Great work. :)
Great video and great work! Really love that your videos are lengthy and dedicated, makes them a real treat to watch and get lost in! Very appreciative of all your work, will be supporting your channel all the way!

Superb series. Thank you

That is really excellent and I can't imagine how long it took to pull this all together, from a variety of open sources media and knowledge. I did the same type of work a couple years ago regarding the history of French civilization, and it took me a few years. Very well done, Mr. Histocrat, and thank you so much for sharing this!

Well done - clear enough for most people to understand easily but still filled with enough detail to make it a rich source of historical information - this and others in this series. A couple of seemingly minor but important aspects in gaining that clarity - your accent is very understandable even to us Yanks ;-) and the lack of background music is very refreshing after too many vids drowned out by unnecessary "noise" or worse, made unbearable to watch through music choices that cater only to those with the same musical tastes as the creator. Besides my general professional interest, I have a personal interest because part of my ancestry is British, that I can trace all the way back to an ancestor knighted by the English king, Edward III, in 1350. (I'm a professional cultural anthropologist and historian, and avid amateur videographer. I commend you for putting up with the relentless flack from too many viewers everywhere on YT - the reason I quit posting anything here long ago.)
Interested in the manufacture of stone items and the very large time needed to make them. If the early Britain's were anything like the Maori in New Zealand this work was undertaken by the old people, beyond the age when they could undertake strenuous work or warfare. They could, of course, sit around talking and endlessly grinding away at their latest stone project. Some truly fine examples survive.

I appreciate your Logical approach to history
There are structures similar to the henges outside of Britain too, also aligned with the sun's position during solstices. The one I visited in a region formerly rich in gold ore and other metals had very interesting features (a narrow ditch that has a path through the site, like a river perhaps, a big disc like stone to the side marked into radial sections, a smaller wooden circle next to the stone complex) and you could even see shiny golden flecks in some of the stone. It's definitely prehistoric, probably from a similar time period as these more well known henges, but locally the site is known for it's dacic and roman name. It's not known if it used to be a religious site or more of an observatory/calendar type structure but it's very beautiful and surprisingly large. I say surprisingly because you can even walk about most of the site and take a closer look, which is something that I was disappointed I couldn't do when I visited Stonehenge. But it's understandable, with the volume of tourists that visit it every day. In comparison, this other structure is not so iconic and internationally renowned so it's more protected from destruction.
Thanks. Like the content. Nice product tion
Very informative and fascinating! I found the episodes a little confusing in jumping back and forth in time and use of different styles of graphics. Adding an overlay of the approximate date in a corner of the video might help.
