The Truth Behind - The Truth Behind the Druids

[paula96love]

this doesnt sound at all like Asterix

[kjokjojessica]

Anyone ever heard of propaganda? I'd bet the Romans (the most vicious and brutal fighting force since the Mongols) killed off an entire village, dogs and all and then threw their bodies in the cave. Then they went about, telling everyone lies about the Druids to vindicate the murders.

[nosidevideos]

@532131 i dont get it. meme joke about arrow to the knee? pls explain sounds interesting. :) thanks

[MrDromaeosaurid]

Okay, I get it National Geographic, I get it: "The Druids sacrificed and cannibalized their own." But, is this the "Truth" behind Druids? Why don't you discuss their society in general?

[Blackboilingrobotoil]

@MrDromaeosaurid Exactly. NatGeo is a great, but lately many of their historical tv docs haven't amounted to much more then about 10% science and 90% bullshit. This is more of a geek show then a thoughtful look at many of our early ancestors. Most of what we know comes from the Romans who HATED (and admired) these people and who were, in any case, ten times as violent/barbaric. NatGeo deserves better.

[foresakenlion]

The Burning Man, or a Holocaust, same thing... seems to be a universal

[rewildingmonk]

What is surprising is that the Romans could kill for amusement with gladiator violence but are sickened by ritual human sacrifice. A people that considered crucifixion as a form of punishment can hardly be wrong. Victors will write what they please to make light of their own brutality and often paint their opponents in hair raising portraits as the evil ones. Nothing changes with history.

[museluvr]

Watching this, I couldn't help but align the Mayan sacrifices next to this. Similar in ways.

[Wivyr]

Lol that looks like General Tullius and the Penitus Oculatus. Damn Emperials.

[slykuiper]

No seriously, you don't even have Skyrim. Stop making the shitty forced meme jokes.

[SoundThruTheStatic]

This was not the right thing to watch at 1 in the morning in a dark room.

THE TRUTH BEHIND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC HISTORICAL AGENDA

[Lelouch799]

@idahopackrat agenda? are you serious? oh so i guess PBS also plans for world domination. it's a nice story where did you hear it? of course you know more history than professional historians that have studied years on a topic and have access to all historical writings. i would love to see your proof of these "facts" professor.

[idahopackrat]

Is National Geographic creating history or reporting history?

I doubt some of this theatre. Is National Geographic becoming a source of fiction? Whose bias rules these movies? What financial entities under write these creations? Which religious organization influences the scripts?

[TruthatCearcie]

I think all their theories could easily be reinterpreted a completely different way which only makes this an even better story

[feminineandfeisty]

Dey the devil!

[GaelofVirtue]

It's purely speculative. :/

The Truth Behind The Droids

[ccaptorchen]

40:20 for dramatic glasses removal

[ProjectFreeSelf]

They argue that Rome wanted to "stamp out" "pagan" druidry? That's a pretty simplistic and naive explanation, yes? After all, Rome at the time of Julius Caesar was itself quite pluralistic, in terms of religion.

[ApexIXMR]

35:02 - "So this is where this man was found 20 years ago. And he was found quite by accident during peak cutting in August 1984."

2011 - 20 years = 1991. A bit off there on your dates.

[anime991]

@ApexIXMR this was not necessarily the date that it was filmed and aired on Net Geo

[ApexIXMR]

@anime991

Sooooo then she must've also unearthed a time machine that allowed her to go into the future and get herself a VW Tiguan...which was only released a couple years ago for the first time.

[janwalsh1000]

A culture that is thankfully washed away.

[LuXckyXWilL]

WoW druid form?

[Truthiness231]

@LuXckyXWilL Pretty sure they're just a bunch of feral noobs. Everyone knows the only good druid is a resto druid, and I didn't see one HoT being cast.

[ChristopherJManess]

Oh, if History were written by the losers.

[V2inur]

1.45 nice spiky hair what type of gel do you use?

[MikeyMyhre]

Keep it up! Lovin it!

[xwizardgodx0]

now every old man with a beard I will run away from

[knoose]

Ok, now this was very interesting NGEO. GOOD WORK!

Not sure if all the "drama" is necessary, but still good.

[eblanco78]

The Romans build a new History on the World, thanks.

[ClayBlock194]

Nords!!!!

[wiidiwii]

back in high school i knew a druid..he was one of the biggest bitter assholes i have meet in my life...no wonder the Romans were killing them

[Thulgore]

Bout damn time National Geographic starting uploading more then the 3 minute animal videos where the announcer sounds like a pedophile trying to tempt kids into his van with candy.

[Truthiness231]

HoT FTW!

Oh, not that kind of druid? nm, proceed...

[biozastron]

@Truthiness231 ooooooooooook lol

[PhyA52]

I don't get the arrow to the knee jokes. Would someone please inform me...

[JupiterJazzjaa2]

@PhyA52 Skyrim

[TheCFTube]

@PhyA52 Random guards in Skyrim say "I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow in the knee."

[biozastron]

@PhyA52 hi there friend. The arrow to the knee jokes formally originated from a video game called "Skyrim". Though more specifically it came from the "Yogscast" who first made it more like a wildfire.

[Tr1pMind]

@biozastron except thats wrong, you fucking retard

[A1R5N1P3R]

I used to be a Druid, but then I took an arrow to the knee...

[biozastron]

@A1R5N1P3R uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmm no... I think these jokes are still funny

[andrewc2768]

The human sacrifice theory seems a stretch. More likely the typical brutality that humans continue to treat each other with even today, if they have the chance.

[NetjerAshe]

Too bad this bullshit is only 2000 years old, damn Egypt is way older than that and they are saying this was some ancient big find its a bunch of rocks and dirty where in the fuck is the gold bitches? Wheres the Silver and Jeweler man that shit weak Praise Kemet Hotep you crackers will burn for stealing....

[Wyndstarthedruid]

@NetjerAshe rofl. What a fail. Brainwashing was successful with you.

[NetjerAshe]

@Wyndstarthedruid See you know just as well as me deep down inside that sorcery was first birthed in Africa the crafts are as old as man im speaking the truth. That Druid shit is just some watered down shit..

[Wyndstarthedruid]

@NetjerAshe now you are telling me what I know?, If africa birthed anything wouldnt it be better than all others? if africans were the first supreme humans wouldnt there be gigantic cities, metropolis` around in africa? why would africans be starving, If whites were so pathetic in the beginning, how come we conquered the world? if we were so stupid and weak, how is it possible we stole and completely made you our bitches? you see.....LOGIC FAIL, but leave it to a black to ignore logic.

[NetjerAshe]

@Wyndstarthedruid The only black people that are being bitched are the ones who are not conscious enough to know what the fuck is going on, the same way the moors bitched you crackers in Spain, you pecker-woods are weak that's why you bury your self's in Egyptian made tombs and try to carbon copy freemasonry from Egypt and crackerize that shit because you all know you aren't shit but neanderthal ass thieves

[Wyndstarthedruid]

@NetjerAshe LOL what a fail. the moors in spain? is that why southern spain is still majority spaniard? is that why the moors are still backwoods arab rednecks?, nigga please. we dont even try to claim egypt, shit is just there, and science has much more to say about it. there is larger pyramids in the eastern bloc of europe, and in america. that are much older. "pecker-wood" yeah bro? ROFL. afrocentrists are hilarious, whites went to the moon, blacks are dying in puddles, tell me whos weak..

[NetjerAshe]

@Wyndstarthedruid See your dumb as a box of rocks im threw with you.

[asabovesobelow90]

@Wyndstarthedruid well done, man!

Afrocentrists are incredibly stupid, but i don't blame them .

i think i would try to make up some stories to feel a little better too.

[MsCoconuttie]

ewwwww so much dirty bones, why would they even touch it?

[biozastron]

@MsCoconuttie ah you know a work for a worker is a worker's money earned... uh something like that :D

[jiMijiVe420]

with all the arrow to the knee talk you all must have watched Household Hackers snowglobe vid?

[GaaraBabyEater]

Knock Knock... Who's there? Arrow to the knee TROLOLOLOLOLOL

[TheCFTube]

The only evidence of cannibalism in Celtic Britain happened to have been carbon dated to the Roman invasion. So why are the Druids suspect again? Maybe the Romans fed them to dogs or even ate them themselves. These are people that committed genocide and torture like crucifixion. They criticized the Celts for human sacrifice, while they sacrificed Vercingetorix himself. Yes, Romans had ritual strangulation to the gods...

[DCuerpoJr]

@TheCFTube

In the end, only the bias stories of the victorious survive throughout history.

[souther]

i like to cum on arrows

[532131]

Seriously, stop the arrow in the knee jokes already! It's getting annoying you fucking nerds!

[biozastron]

[BrandonC3]

@WingedSoulies Unless you've played Skyrim, I can't expect you to understand.

If you have played Skyrim, and took an arrow to the knee. I also understand.

If you have played Skyrim, and didn't take an arrow to the knee though... shame on you.

[mvonstei]

I used to be an ancient druid.....then I took an arrow to the knee
