Would’ve enjoyed it more if the music was quieter.

Thank you for this wonderful and informative channel but the music is too loud and distracting

This great, I didn't know about this when I was in Wales.

Brilliant I’m old into my history and have never heard of this! What a treat thanks

Brilliant, check out St Lythans aswell if you get the chance... made from the same stone and practically just round the corner

I lived in Cardiff for 10 years and never knew about this! wow

Nice, also remember to visit St Lythans when you are back, made from the same type of stone and practically just round the corner! Got to say we have mixed feelings about Bryn Celli Ddu... the concrete lintles, 'replica stones' and disregard for original shape, or position, make it more of a 'modern interpretation' than a reconstruction... but that's a topic for a future video...😅

Some great video and nice quality images long barrows and the ancient stone's are not well represented in Wales and good to see them shown with locations. It is well known that before the advent of metal that the British isles were a land Goddess and Moon venerating peoples, portrayed with some depth in Maria Wheatleys new book The Secret History of StoneHenge and to me it seems that the migration from the levant and later Anotolia brought the Sun worshipping patriarchal society and beliefs with them as you have mentioned the long barrows represented a different society and belief system to the ones that came later.

I would like to ask what is the distribution of Bluestones from the Preseli hills of Wales at Carn Goedog and Craig Rhos-y-felin quarries, at other Neolithic sites in Wales?

@coraljackz

6 ай бұрын

That's an interesting question. Around Pembrokeshire's Neolithic sites, the Bluestones are understandably very common. We've noticed bluestones at numerous other sites further afield but haven't yet documented them in a quantifiable manner... so we'll have to get back to you with a better answer as soon as we can!

I've done ritual here - very good place for that

Lovely video. How about going to Ireland one day and researching some of the ancient sites there?

Thanks! And yes, that would be great to do one day... can't wait 😊

Shaped after the neolithic axe head

surely there is an original welsh name - Tinkins wood??? anglicisation of welsh place names is heart breaking. So much history exhists in the language.

Hi there, we believe the site used to be referred to as Castell Carreg, translating to 'stone castle'. There seems to be a lot of confusion over the years around the name of the site. Some old reports even called it Lech-y-Filiast, or Gwal-Y-Filiast which nowadays is the name given to the cromlech nearby at St Lythans. (This translates loosely to 'lair of the female grey hound'.) We agree, so much history and culture has been lost along with the language 😥

Annoying background music?

​@@tubthump thanks for the feedback, we got a bit of criticism for our audio on a video 4 months ago (also a tinkinswood video funnily enough) that sounded quite distorted on some people's devices... after a bit of testing at home we found it sounded fine on the PC and our main TV, but sounded terrible on surround sound or my nice headphones... so now we check the audio on all our devices before uploading... There is also personal preference at play, I love music with everything so should probably tone that down 😅
