I love all your videos. You put the actual "History Channel" to shame

OMG The Sutton Hoo story is incredible. My dream is to visit England. I've been researching, studying and enjoying British history for over 25 years, so when I find a channel that offers great content and a great presentation that's it. Love both your channels especially the Sea People video and The Hittites. Thanks Pete!

Thank you Pete for your excellent documentaries. I used to live in Chester but now live in Ontario, Canada and my thirst for British history has grown since leaving my dear old land. Although I cannot be there to celebrate these wonderful finds, your uploads are the next best thing and keep me coming back for more. If we don't know where we've come from, how can we know where we're going ? Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦.

As a fan of the channel and someone who grew up in Suffolk, what a brilliant video! Next time I'm in Ipswich I'll be sure to visit the museum and see some of those objects. There's an awful lot of history in the area, some of which would have been lost to coastal erosion. Place likes Dunwich (former capital of the area, all but lost to erosion) have always fascinated me as they likely played a far larger role in this period.
-
This is an excellent documentary: clear, accurate, and beautifully illustrated. Thanks!
-
Claiming descent from both Caesar and Odin seems totally legit. 😉
-
I have just read about the Yeavering Palace and to discover that a larger Early Anglo-Saxon example lies in East Anglia and all this research is going on is very exciting. Thanks Mr. Kelly I will keep up with the Suffolk Archaeologists as they produce free lectures.
-
Great content...the history of the English is being uncovered... and it is fascinating...thank you.
-
The other countries of the British isles have always had a hatred of England partly because they are more Celtic & we are more Mongrels of Celtic, Saxon, Viking, other European settlements, well this English person is proud of my Anglo Saxon Germanic heritage

Pete Kelly. I noticed in the art pieces that you show, some interlacings representing variations of a lying eight. I am a Frank, and in the same period, we had the same kind of interlacings designs in Belgium-France-Switzerland-Italy. I researched them and they were already present in the Sumerian art. I personally think they represent the cords which were holding the tents together.

Impressive helmet. Just imagine what the boat in that grave looked like. It probably would have been just as spectacular as those Viking ships they found in Gokstad and Oseberg in Norway.
-
Thank you for the fascinating look at some of these finds. And thank you, also, for referring to this period as 'early medieval' as opposed to 'dark age'. It was a change from the Roman occupation certainly, and it was different from the period following the Norman Conquest; but it's not like the sun went out, or anything - it was just different. And the skill and craftsmanship shown by these objects tells me that life was anything but 'dark'.
-
Love seeing ANYTHING Anglo-Saxon related.
-
No matter how many times I see that helmet, something wells up and roars inside me. It’s so beautiful, intricate and yet its ceremonial use would have celebrated war/victory! The late Roman cavalry units got the idea from German mercenaries... it’s not a Roman design.
-
Magnificent Sutton Hoo.
-
Excellent video,very interesting, the connection between Sutton Hoo and the Scandinavian, Swedish people is most intriguing. Thank you, Alan
-
The English side of my family comes from East Anglia so this is pretty cool.
-
Thank you for this vid. The Anglo-Saxon era is (to me, anyway) one of the richest, most fascinating periods in human history.
-
I’ve always loved anything history, but lately I’ve been really getting into European history, and this has been the perfect channel for it. Always easy to understand and very interesting, thanks man
