Hiya, funnily enough I did a thread on Chysauster a while ago link to thread, my fave iron age village too
So you did!
I love the rich pre-roman history we have....You just have to understand it was not an empire like the Romans and it was mainly farmers and craftsmen that respected their surroundings living here!
I believe that way before the roman invaison the Briton was worshipping the seasons, the sun, the moon and the Earths Elements!....They understood about nature more than we do today!.....They understood about Vortex Energy and lay lines!....Which they used to built huge stone monuments in these places!
The Romans where no different from what modern America is today IMO

Sorry to sound a patronising dick with that statement!...I didn't mean to sound like I did!
Anyway!
Good thread and I see you know your stuff!
I think there is so much to consider when talking about pre-roman briton, the fact the only written work to be found is Roman is an indicator we aren't being told all the story!
The Romans rather destroyed the evidence or it sits in the vault at the Vatican!
I'm going with the Vatican as it has a lot to answer to!...What info is in the Vault at the Vatican??....Another day another thread I suppose!!

I lean this way especially when you dig down a little and see the clash between Britain and Rome on the topic of religion (been on going a while now)
It is amazing how few people know the founding rules of the Christian Church came about as a direct result of that clash of principles between Britain and Rome.
I honestly find the clash between the 2 cultures (These Isles and Rome) really interesting.. I am guessing that the version of Christianity taught on these isles adopts a lot from previous British cultures and as such gives us an insight into those ancient times.
Sorry Op for the off topic post..

After reading Uriel's Machine:The Ancient Origins of Science, i have become even more intrigued about neolithic sites of interest, especially Henge's, within the book it mentions somewhere that some archaeologists opened up a "burial mound" I use burial mound loosely, and within written on the walls in Viking, was a sentence stating that they had opened it and it was empty.
My belief about "burial mounds" is that they were maybe used as a solar calenders etc.
(thanks for the links to your other threads, I am going to have a lot of reading to do tonight)
Jah bless

I am just about to read that book again, as it happens. I've often wondered what other settlement remains are lying just off our coasts, in what is now the seabed of the North Sea and English Channel.
I am certain that our civilisation here in Britain goes back long before Saxons, Romans, Celts or any people you could actually name. I live in SW England and often love visiting various places in Somerset and Wiltshire. It's like a museum on a grand scale.

Don't know, but they may have had quite a lot of knuckle dragging Neanderthals about the place, just like we do today.

I think for a large part of the past 2000 years the real religion of the common British people was really Christopaganism, even if they wouldn't have thought to call it that.

Well I think that Christianity as a whole is more than half pagan, its saints days, festivals, buildings are all based on the original Pagan religion.... I read a book a while ago about Cornish Saints, if you ever go to Cornwall you'll see a huge amount of St's (St Just, St Ives, St Day, St Agnes, St Kevern etc) and this seems to be because Cornwall was such a staunchly Celtic/Pagan place, the Church leaders had to canonise virtually everyone in Cornwall to get them interested in the new religion.

If you look across the southwest you often find pagan rites or locations absorbed into the church. You'd be surprised how much the name St. Michael appears right across the Westcountry in association with hilltops and towers. It's as if the name St. Michael was deliberately chosen to replace the name of some pagan sky god. Likewise, you get a lot of springs and wells named after female saints. It all gets rather fascinating once you really start getting into it. I'm still constantly learning more and more of this old stuff just in the southern half of Bristol where I live.

I live in Brislington, but I spend a lot of my spare days wandering around the Dundry Hill/ Chew Valley/Stanton Drew/Pensford area. Do you know it?
There's a whole load of fascinating things buried under there I'm sure!
I'm going to actually read the whole thread now. I usually do before posting but today has been a very busy one.

And if you ever get the chance, nip over to the County Museum in Taunton. It's actually quite amazing. Stuff from all eras, from right across Somerset.

I just learned of this late yesterday, outside reading Bill Bryson's At Home.
My mouth dropped open....I've studied the ancient archaeology and mythology stuff all my life, and had never heard of it...so just before signing off today I thought I'd see if ATS already had it posted.
Thanks for doing this thread (saves me time to go outside and read some more).
