Just think: our ancestors' simplistic construction methods have been recreated, admired, and discussed centuries later. It's a tribute to their innovation and durability -- ultimately showing us that our current 'modern' society isn't so much about being brighter, but is instead built upon the foundation that ancient master builders set in place. From stone age to bronze age, it's been quite a ride! And yet here we are... still having issues with thatch procurement. How times don't change!

Very cool. Always awesome to learn about how we did things in the past.

I've spent 3 days living in a much bigger round house in Wales. No central pole was used in there, and I think that's a better design, because the ideal place for the hearth is right in the middle, under the apex of the roof, as explained here. That creates a void of oxygen up there, so you can have a big, roaring fire if you want and the sparks won't set the roof on fire. They just get extinguished as they reach the oxygen void. A few minutes watching this means you stop worrying about it.

Mike, as a multi-year subscriber, I want to say the following: great video. Please sir don’t take the remaining words negatively. As I’ve encouraged before, what you produce is high quality. But as your popularity has arisen, your video production has both reduced and become less frequent. Prior to your fame;I.E., new home, Land Rover and enough revenue to produce a video maybe once a month, your passion was sky high. Please never forget the time or even the date you decided to leave teaching in Rook. Your passion was high for both education and bushcraft. Yet a day came where you and your lovely wife decided, Youtude full time was the goal. You did it and crushed it. The success and the capital came and the videos and quality reduced. All I ask is is, never forget what got you where you are. Those early vids , that were of high production quality, are what drew a million viewers to your channel. This last vid reminded me of your earlier productions. Please extend our well wishes to your family and father. Cheers from Central California

It’s a good day when u post

As a wood stove designer and knowing how simply an efficient functional stove can be built with only clay I'd bet my bottom dollar the "ancients" had systems they adhered to for their stoves...which, being made of clay, would be long gone.

Amateur historian by many levels, but I know that when Archaelogists dig, two of the biggest things (size wise) that they look for in a house is the post holes for house support and the hearth. I don’t know why they wouldn’t have a clay oven. Orkney had stone ones you can still visit, so the concept existed. But I would be surprised that they couldn’t find any evidence. I did also ask a archaeologist in my family and a lot of the roofing concepts is pulled from artwork, so the chimney would be evident.

With epic thatch and on a epic hill made by an epic guy on a epic channel...............everything is so epic

I’d give anything to visit those places. Alas, power wheelchairs don’t manage that terrain very well…

Amazing nature with me ❤

I thoroughly enjoyed this video (love History). I visited here whilst at school and now i`m 53 I pass Butser Ancient Farm when I deliver from a farm, for a packaging company, 30 seconds down the road. Everytime I pass I look and think about how our ancestors lived. Defo worth a visit if you haven`t been.🙂

👍 Great vid Mike

The Middle Bronze Age was a time of change and movement , and in Eastern Mediterranean Europe turmoil. People were moving off the high ground and into the valleys due to climate change. It's quite possible this was a summer grazing camp that the people moved to in early summer for decades. Interesting, as the only Bronze Age walls I see are on Dartmoor, made of stone.

I've actually heard of this site, decades ago during my college archaeology class: it was featured prominently in an insert. This expereiment apparently taught the makers and awful lot about the behavior of then-current livestock and the overall yields of the crops and farming practices of the time . . . which were much higher than they thought.

id love to travel round the uk and see some of these sights. Theres a few in Ireland but not many. Found one in the Netherlands of all places a full recreation village, was fantastic to see.

That's interesting!

I had a curious thought. air flow is very important in these types of structures. thus why they have a moisture issue. The roundhouse is really the same form of housing as a teepee, just more permanent. The secret to a teepee is that they have an inner layer of cloth that sits off from the outer wall. the outer wall does not reach the ground. the inner cloth is if i recall about chest or head height. thus air flow comes in but is directed upwards by the inner wall, and out thru the opening at the top. What if they did the same in the roundhouse? gap in walls, inner circle of linen or wool? Tapestries are old and long known for hanging on castle walls. But the sewing skill is old. Why wouldnt tapestries in castles be a carry over from roundhouses? Maybe the roundhouse was decorated with walls of tapstries that sat off the outer wall, strung/hung from rafters to direct airflow upwards, but yet, held the sewn stories for all to view? ❤

Loving this it's very interesting looks cozy inside thanks Mike

I LOVE this history, I ALWAYS wonder " WHO " was the First person to TRY that Mushroom or Berry. did his friends hold him down and force it in his mouth or was it a dare...like Frat Boys at Uni. ???

It's a shame that in thousands of years they won't be looking at the remains of a pallet wood cabin. It would probably confuse them anyway. 😆👍

1:45 technically they're called sherd, shard is glass (silica or obsidian) sherd is pottery.

Why not have the top point open for smoke ventilation? Or even a top cap with a ring vent just under the top point?

One thing I've often wondered and is never mentioned, was meat suspended from the rafters for storage and preservation? It makes sense to me that they would have done this if only to keep vermin and dogs away from it and in the process discovered that the smoke was preserving and altering the flavour of the meat. Thoughts anyone?

I wonder if they had lofts in the long houses? They could have used it to dry things or sleep in during the winter since it would be hotter than lower down in the structure.

If there was no evidence of a hearth, could the round house have been used for animal safety at night?

Peter Griffin: roundhouse?

Here's something to make you say Hmmm . . . I'm an Historical Reenactor, specifically the North American Fur Trade Era and I own an authentic (reproduction) Cheyenne style Tipi. The similarities between the structure of a tipi and this Round House are amazing - including the footprint being more egg-shaped than round. So, just a coincidence due to "common sense construction"? Or were "World Travelers" more prevalent in pre-historic times than we have always believed? (I'll leave any otherworldly theories up to the guy with the weird hair on the History Channel).

Lol. There is no evidence for this in archeology so we made it up, because you know, science.

That's pretty interesting!! Nice job on video. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

Interesting how there was a transition from longhouses to round houses from the stone age to the bronze age. Almost seems like a technological downgrade. Was it from migrants from mainland Europe that caused the transition?

My mom's ancestry is neo-gothic, the (English, Danish, Spanish Kingdoms) colonized this land and enslaved the people. Europe was destroyed by the kingdom's all because of greed and they did the same in the new land in South, Central and North America. The indigenous, people will fight for the land and destroyed the kingdoms of Europe.
