  • Without all the debate how did horses actually get to the USA....were they always there, did the Spanish bring them ?

    I would assume they were always there and used by the native Americans but does anyone know for sure/

  • Comment removed

  • horses evolved in the Americas, they crossed the land bridge to enter the rest of the world. Prince Philip is right he just has his directions mixed up. The tradition is that they died out along with the rest of the Megafauna at the time man enter the new world over 10,000 years ago

  • He's completely right though, they did come accross the bridge.

  • It was an honest mistake, everyone makes one. He's not from America, so he probably doesn't know much about it, just as Americans probably don't know much about Britain

  • @Mavis, lol, was I talking about the native americans? No. I was talking about the modern day White Americans that only have 200 years of history, yet they galivant around as if they own the world. My people and yours as well as billions of others were here millenia before they were.

  • phillip is so old that he fought in the war of independance lmao hes such a joker ''so they arnt nail erm clippers?'' lmfao

  • This was a PBS production 'Monarchy. The royal family at work.' As HRH visites the US in May 2007.

  • lol prince philip just owned

    Rule Britannia

  • another american thats wrong...nothing new there then.

  • @MrDeano324 Another stereotypical arrogant Brit... nothing new there either.

  • @DominatingNA

    Another typical sarcastic yankee that takes jokes seriously...nothing new there either.

  • @MrDeano324 I didn't detect a bit of sarcasm in that first comment, because there wasn't any. That wasn't a joke and don't try to convince me that it was.

    And you're wrong, I wasn't being sarcastic in my first comment.

  • As the cost of the wedding is to be met by both families the wedding will not cost the British taxpayer anything. I am perplexed as to where you estimate the cost at £40M, but what of it when they and not us are paying? The cost of the Royal Family to the British taxpayer is .62p per year, which is extraordinary value in a recession or not. I do not know which country you are a national of but does your Head of State cost so little and offer such value for money?

  • Whoa! Is this a private hissy fit,or can anyone join in,lol?!

  • Just listen to Prince Phillip if he was in charge things would run a lot smoother

  • apparently the america's did have a native species of horses but they went extinct

  • Not often both sides are right in an argument. lol

  • I would never argue with William Kelso, he has studied colonial America for years and is quite the expert! He's a well known and well respected archeologist and historian.

  • @vakev8

    But Horses evolved in the original American continant when the world was i think only just split from a unified land, so Prince Philip is right.

  • @melonhead82

    Many experts believe those horses died out and were replentished by the Spanish. Again, Dr. William Kelso is a HUGE expert. Not only did he run all archaeology for Colonial Williamsburg, he was the Major archaeologist for the digging of Jamestown and director of arch. for the Assoc for Preservation of Va. Antiquities. He would know far better what was here than a foreigner- tho maybe Phillip was here then...would explain a lot!

  • Never argue with Prince Philip!

  • @TheSmithersy The Ponzi Guru Berni Madoff has nothing on this broad & her Royal Blood Pyramid of leaches, a very sophisticated fraudulent pyramid scheme. Presenty paid 37 mill$, a yr. to do What? Ride around in a buggy, cut ribbons & wave at the idiots in the crowd while riding off. Laughing , feels better than crying.

    These snakes are really laughing too behind our backs. The Ultimate Royal Scam... Correction ... Royal F***!

  • @onstageagain: Need I remind you that you only pay 62p towards them in taxes and nothing else. Bear in mind the tourism they bring to this country helps the economy. And besides most of the Royal families proper income is stolen by Parliament and they only give a pittance back to them. If they had the Crown land income back off parliament you wouldn't need to pay the 62p.

  • american "expert" should shut the fuck up. no one needs u america!

  • @TheArmo1 wrong.

  • @TheArmo1 You were singing a different tune when the German Air Force was bombing the shit out of you. You tend to forget if it wasnt for American, you lot would be part of the Third German Empire. It was American blood, inclueding that of my Great Uncle, a black man, who saved you.

  • Ignore that guy, but please respect the fact that if britain had not beaten the luftwaffe many more americans would have died . We each helped each other, our countrymen fought died to stop tyranny not so we could bring up their names in bullshit internet arguments.

  • @ImperatorDominus Coming from black ancestry its worthwhile letting you know there isn't one recorded instance of a black fighting for the American side when they were fighting the Brits. Americans wanted to keep you as slaves. The British king made free men of any willing to fight upon the British side. Cities like Manchester in the UK had been voting for abolition almost 100 years before America finally granted it. Blacks and Brits were on the same side. By the way, many nations won the war.

  • @TheArmo1 Tell you why the US is better than England.Victoria Beckham isn’t a celebrity here. Just somebody’s wife. 2)We drive on the R side of the road. 3/4 of the world drive on the R-side of the road. Majority rules, ya Brit. R-side wins. 3, Not for American Football, wouldn’t be a Beaver Stadium & 110,000 fans who consume more booze in 1home game weekend than all of Europe in a yr. 4,Child porn is illegal in the US. 5,King Ralph a movie starring J.Goodman. The shittiest movie ever .

  • @onstageagain

    The reason we drive on the left is because the majority of people are right handed so the right eye has dominent vision rather than the left, so right eyed people will see on coming trafic from the other direction. And thats why USA has so many car accidents, The Japanese know this as well, thats why they drive on the left.

  • @melonhead82 Melon Head... I understand , you think I'm a Melon head like you... DAAA Look I'm no dummy , or a Melon Head, Its obvious, If they drove on the wrong side of the road, there would be hundreds of accidents every day.

  • @onstageagain

    Well Americans drive on the Right hand side, and have the most car accidents in the world. You do not understand the point i'm making, because you probably too fabricated in American lies.

  • @melonhead82

    It is better to remain silent & be thought a fool, than open your mouth & prove it.

    Talking out your ass again Melon Head ! Instead of using that bee bee you call a brain.

    Ethiopia has the highest rate of car accidents in the world.

    India has 400 deaths per day due to crases on the road. They are by far the most dangerous roads in the world

    In the EU, the country with the highest number of Car accidents & fatalities is Italy followed by Poland.

    ChaCha for now!

  • @onstageagain

    So you dont value HumanRrights at all as I do then.

    Typical American, using childish and pathetic sentences because you have no other way of putting forward a debate.

    And out of all them, only India drives on the left hand side, but they have a large population and hardly any structured roads at all, im talking about nations with fully functional roads.

    American roads are stupid due to its gride like systems in cities and towns where cars can easily crash into each other.

  • @onstageagain - Whereas your diatribe proves of those who say nothing few are silent

  • @briefboyz

    Not enough, My father replied... I'm going to need a majority! I hate to inform you ... briefboy... The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously !

  • @onstageagain - I fear you can inform me of nothing as your epistle rather proves my point.

  • @brief boyz I hope not to inform you others are doing that for me. In the middle of this economy crunch , Royal Blood justifies a wedding costing over 40,million of tax money taken from some near desperate. I'd like to see someone in Wa try to pull this off & survive it. There would be riots in our street, & next election would be out on there ass.However there is truth in that men in the game are blind to what men looking on see clearly.

  • @onstageagain

    You're a yank, you don't have the fucking right to comment on matters of Great Britain (and you're entire comment was wrong anyway). You don't have a history, you don't have traditions, and its questionable to whether you even have a country. Get back in you're hole you stupid colonist.

  • @MrDeano324, Hey dumbass, if you havent noticed we Yanks as you like to call us love Great Britan, I got to know some of the Royal Marines in Afghanistan and Iraq and they are some of the finest human beings alive. To say something like America dosent have traditions or history makes me want to call one of them up to come to your house to beat the shit out of you.

  • @joliva30maple

    Well it sort of is true lol. You have 150-200 years of history. You are a very very young country. Egypt has over 20,000 years of civilization, Italy has well in excess of 15,000 years of civilization,Britain has over 12,000 years of civilization. 150-200 years is pretty short compared to that list. And I was insulting him because he was insluting my country, its kind of hard to insult his country back without insulting every American.

  • @MrDeano324 Since when was living in a teepee not civilisation?

  • @chanctonbury63

    I was not talking about native americans as i said before. I was talking about modern day americans. I.e, British colonists, i.e the thirteen colonies.

  • @chanctonbury63 "Since when was living in a teepee not civilisation?"

    Technically since forever. By original definition a person who is civilised is one who lives in a city. An encampment of teepees could, with the best will in the world, hardly be described as a city. Of course the meaning has altered and expanded somewhat over time to include any sophisticated culture. Some native American peoples did actually live in small city like communities and so were civilised in the original sense.

  • @sirderam1 The word `civilised` means nothing of the sort. It is a highly subjective word that has nothing specifically to do with living in a city.

  • @chanctonbury63

    Civis

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Civis is an Ancient Latin word that can be roughly translated as "citizen". The word did not have the legal implications that it has today. It simply meant someone that lived within a city, as opposed to "outsiders".[1]

    But whatever you say - not worth arguing about.

  • @sirderam1 Why not argue? Its fun. We dont live in ancient Rome. The word civilised now is a general, and nebulous word suggesting, for instance, order respect cleanliness sophistication, or similar. That is something that you might just as easily find in the countryside as in the city.

  • @chanctonbury63 Because there's not really anything to argue about, we're both right. I merely pointed out that living in a teepee might not be technically civilized according to the original meaning of the word. and I did indicate that I was talking about the original meaning twice. I also acknowledged that the meaning had, as you say, changed and expanded over time.

    However, if you want me to admit that I was just being a bit of a smartarsed pedant then OK, I admit it.

  • @sirderam1 Great! I feel better now!

  • Comment removed

  • @joliva30maple

    I acctually dont mind americans, I even have a video about our special relationship. I was not insulting you directly, but it had to be said to get him back for what he said about us.

  • @joliva30maple What did you do there hide in the caves like all the other yanks. Us Canucks and Ma Britain do all the dirty work and you lazy fuckers hide. Should be ashamed of your yourself and your pathetic country.

  • @joliva30maple How typical of a soldier to use violence against anyone he disagrees with. How many brain cells do you have? Probably even less than the average Royal Marine.

  • @joliva30maple So you speak for all Americans?

  • @MrDeano324 You don't know anything about America, or it's people, and the history goes back farther than 200 years. Pick up a book sometime, you git. My people have lived here for over 10,000 years moron, but I guess you wouldn't know anything about the 500 nations. We don't have a history...yeah, right!

  • @MrDeano324 What are you even talking about? We have a lot of history and many traditions here too. A lot of people in America respect your country very much and this is known to people around the world. Learn some respect for our country too.

  • @melonhead82 Your information is not correct. There are more cars on the road in the US than any other country, but both India and China have more car accidents and fatalities related to those accidents than we do in the US. In fact, India leads with 105,000 traffic deaths in a year, compared with over 96,000 in China. The US had about 45,800 despite having more motor vehicles per capita (842 per 1,000 people) than China (128 per 1,000) or India (12 per 1,000) combined.

  • @jkirchman79

    Like I said I was on about fully developed countries, not under developed countries.

  • @melonhead82 You may consider China to be under developed, but they have 46,000 miles of highways compared to 47,000 miles in the United States. By contrast, the United Kingdom has about 2,200 miles of motorways and had 2,356 traffic related fatalities in 2009.  That is about one death per mile of motorway, which is the same as the United States despite there being about 458 cars per 1,000 people in the UK.

  • @onstageagain Is a sure fired income for the rest of YOUR live, out of your pocket. Unions and retirement in the US.But the people got tired of it here. Check out Chicago, its going down.

    These people have themselves fooled thinking they have Royal Blood? Whats that? Royal... its called Welfare in the US. Sit on your rump & live off tax $,  call it Royal ? Get off your wrinkled rump & go to work like the rest of us you ole hag. And while your at it... take off that stupid looking hat. !

  • @TheArmo1 You have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

  • What the Greeks did for us - Alexander the Great, Philosophy, Democracy & Prince Philip

  • Never argue with Prince Philip or you will lose and look a fool before being on the reciving end of one of HRH's jokes

  • I like Prince Phillip, he talks his mind, he got slated once on the news for telling British students studying in China if they stayed too long they would get 'chinky eyed'. Haha legend

  • These are just pleasantries exchanged between visiting officials. Who cares if he's right or wrong? Don't you have anything more important to do?

  • Ode to Camilla...

    To my tampon girl who never rinses,

    Might I be a Knight to my shining new Princess?

    I'm yellow with jaundice to bring you the banana,

    Since i screwed up my marriage to the wondrous Diana.

    HRH Prince Charles Tampax Philip Arthur George of Wales, Wanker Extrordidnaire!

  • If Prince Phillip is willing to argue a case he is normally right. Thats one thing he has learnt over the past 60 years, when it is right to argue. One thing he hasnt learnt is that some of the jokes from his younger days are no longer acceptable. But as far as im concerned that all adds to his character! Bravo to the Duke of Edinburgh for winning the argument!

  • He's right. The native humans hunted them to extinction.

  • About 15,000 years ago Equus ferus was a widespread, holarctic species. Horse bones from this time period, the late Pleistocene, are found in Europe, Eurasia, Beringia, and North America.Yet by 10,000 years ago, the horse became extinct in North America and rare elsewhere. The reasons for this extinction are not fully known, but one theory notes that extinction was contemporary with human arrival. So the Duke is absolutely right and that's another proof of the americans stupidness

  • No, he is talking about the bridge of the ships.

    "Those bloody Spanish aren't different from horses anyhow."

  • The same as donkeys are not much different from Brasilians!

  • "I thought they came over the bridge"

    You've gotta love him.

  • he's talking about the land bridge that used to join the continents... he's right

  • No. Just no.

  • arse

  • @christian2oo2 Land bridge? ... The one that was in Alaska?

  • @akesbaltine

    Well. there was a bridge...

  • if they went extint then wtf where Native red indians using to get around on lol. there must have been horses there when the british first settled in america

  • That would have been post Spanish

  • I read somewhere that indigenous horses were not domesticated but were hunted for food.

  • That could explain why they went extinct.

  • The Europeans brought horses to America. They did not exist before Columbus came.

  • WRONG! Prince Phillip was right! Horses DID come over the land bridge during the last ice age. Thier fossilized

  • Never disagree with Royalty.

  • Unless they both: 1) have no lawful authority in your country 2)and their wrong about their facts.

  • CharlestonArtist,

    Prince Philip did not pwn the expert. Yes there were pre-historic horses here a long time ago that died out before humans, but everyone here knows thats not what he meant.

    He obviously thought that there were horses LIVING in North America at the time the spaniards arrived. If he was trying to say that horses were here long before the spaniards in a pre-historic sense before dying out completely, he was certainly doing so in a confusing context.

  • They were already here and still here when the Europeans came. What in the hell did you think the native people use to move besides walking?!

  • Do some research. Horse went over the land bridge the opposite direction, from North America to Asia, then they went extinct here, then the Spanish re-introducted them circa 1650. I used to live in the midwest were one museum after another would talk about how the introduction of the horse changed tribes like the Sioux and made them more nomadic. Before then, yes, they did walk and they didn't do as much traveling because of it. Unless you are saying there is some conspiracy to hide this.

  • well all those artefacts belong to the British Crown

  • What do you mean? Maybe it would help if I knew what site in america is he talking about, Jamestown?

  • Thegclique,

    Please explain.

  • he was refering to the ice sheet as the bridge

  • the first English colony was in Newfoundland and declared English in 1503 (Cabot). the French had their first settlement in Acadia (Champlain) in what is now Nova Scotia few years later in Port Royal. These events where before Jamestown. I will agree that Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement, Port Royal was the first permanent French settlement and it predates Jamestown. If Killing people makes great history, then Canada is boring. I agree then we have little that would excite

  • "If Killing people makes great history, then Canada is boring." ha ha - brilliant!

  • lmao

  • you are so stupid, The Colony of Canada was created before the USA became a nation, it was created into two parts Upper and Lower Canada. Later these parts became Ontario and Quebec. But then what would I know I am Canadian./ these two parts joined up with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and became the Dominion of Canada in 1867 How stupid can I be. Stop reading your History books and read the truth of the worlds History.

  • more correctly there where 16 Colonies at that time, Canada, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland as well. (New France fell a few years before) The three above mentioned stayed with the Empire, They later helped form a second country of the Dominion of Canada. a friend to both England and the United States of America. Canadians can find both countries on a map in Grade two with no problem!!!!!

  • im scottish i like england and proud to be british

  • @lilstu50 I'm 1/5 Scottish too but that doesn't make me a Brit! Even though I would be proud to say so, check out your geography! The UK in split in two sections. Britain and Scotland! Just so happens they're both in the United Kingdom.

  • @359582909 WRONG!!! LOL

  • @359582909 Erm.. Britain is composed of England, Scotland and Wales. The UK is composed of these as well as Northern Ireland.

  • @ImPotatoes So what's your point? I have ancestors from Scotland and Ireland. I know what the British Isle are made up of...

  • I don't have any American friends who have any trouble locating the U.K. on a map. I'm sure any British folks wouldn't have an issue locating America on a map. I would however wager a bet that half of the lackies posting on this thread couldn't find their way home.

    Greetings from America and thank Jesus (or whoever) we got a new president!

  • jesus, you're an embarrassment to america.

    and wow you must know millions of people if you know all americans, irish, french, indians AND the scots to know they all hate the british. i think you'll find these days most of the world hates america.

    fucking dead weight

  • Dont worry. No one likes us. We dont care.

  • that is part of the world's problem. The USA does not care except to get what it can, however it can, from who ever it can take it from. The world does not like the USA for a reason. President Obama is changing that don't fuck it up. I am Canadian and refused to go to your country for 8 years, now I have been there the other day. Nice country. Be proud of what you can be come again. That is a nation that can be relied on as a friend not for what you will do to us.

  • "Most Americans have never been to England let alone could not locate their country on the map" that comment is only insulting your own country because if you know anything about history or geography you should be able to locate England on a map. (let alone be able to locate England on a map may have made more sense)

  • It's good to hear that anti-americanism propaganda is alive and well in the u.k. as well. Enjoy your ringside seat in life.

  • lol.

  • This is all a pointless argument. Why shoud any of us hate each other to begin with?!

  • Nateschannel, it was actually the french who kicked the shit out of the british and won your independance for you

  • I did'nt say personal computer.

    Just trying to point out that its pointless arguing modern inventions between British and American because so many have been developed between the two.

  • yes a very impressive invention but the british invented the computer

  • Speak someone else's language then

  • "he made a gaffe when the electric went out a some place he was visiting when he said 'did some indians do the electric?"

    He was refering to Indians from india not N America. There are a great many living in Engkand, and he was refering to the shoddy work often associated with them. Noit about N.American native indians at all.

  • prince philip is a bruiser

  • I respect him becuase he says anything he bloody well wants too

  • HRH Prince philip is a legend i love the bloke he dont give a shit

  • The current ones aren't native, but there was a prehistoric horse which lived in northern america before the spanish brought over european ones. (read the more info section above).

  • was he not refering to the bridge between europe and america during the ice ige?

  • I think so

  • he made a gaffe when the electric went out a some place he was visiting when he said 'did some indians do the electric?', when he was meant to say 'did some cowboys do it'. he quite, my grandparents sometimes do the same.

  • oh gosh even the portuguese knew about America before the spanish.

  • Prince Phillip rocks...lol

  • why dont you go and get a job rather than copy and pasteing texts into video's on youtube.

  • I'm retired. Why don't you get an education about how the world really works?

  • and how would you know didnt have and education about how the world works from what i wrote you dumb fuck.

  • You do not call a person a "dumb fuck" unless you do not have information that has value.

    I am more than 3 times older than you. Do you think that I might have accumulated knowledge in that time? I know the answer. Do yourself a favor...do not become a worshipful serf...because that is what they want you to be.

  • I wouldn't have contricted him coz if there's one thing the royal family really know about is horses.

  • My country tis of thee....

  • why is it you disrespect are royal family and are country then you make a video about the special relationship between britain and america, also to add to that if it wasnt for britain you're joke of a country would have been annilated in the second world war just the same as you were in the vietnam conflict. the problem with people like yourself and your country is that you seem to think you know evereything when in acual fact you are thicker than pig shit.

  • You have a very small military now and very little presence around the word. The reason is because you wish to furnish these royal fat cats with the lavish lifestyle that you are so not accustomed to while your troops are being torn to peices because you can't afford to furnish them with proper equipment. How many US soldiers have been killed simply for with holding fire for fear that it might be yet another badly equipped British squad.

  • you dont you mean we?

  • Whoa Whoa Whoa..... Did I just hear you correctly? Did you just say America Would have been annihilated in the second world war???? Holy shit!!! Now I have heard everything in my life! I think its the other way around my friend lol. Same goes for your whole entire conteint in the cold war.

  • if it was just germany v US mabye, the germans where very good soilders

  • your not very smart are you... a loud, tragically misinformed american

  • BTW Veitnam was a battle of a bigger war the cold war. Which we won. Don't believe me? Then ask the Russians lol. It had nothing to do with veitnam It was just a battle field that the super powers both choose to duke it out on...

  • you lost veitnam get over it

  • btw.. your statement is true, yet irrelevant, you were still beaten by vietnam who had shit all in comparison to you.

  • so true and the cold war had more deaths then all the wars combined till 1949. Not such a cold war in the end. This war just was not fought on the lands of the super powers, but instead on the land of  poor small countries that had little to do with anything.

  • pimp phillip and the pimp family who pimping taxpayers money fuck them all the pimp family and they do it well

  • if it wasnt for the royal family britain would be a very diffrent place than it is today. what does it matter to you yank you dont have to pay tax in england so you dont have the right to comment. you decide to talk down the royal family then you choose earlsutton as your youtube name hummmm ironic to say the least.

  • prince philip is fantastic, i wish he'd come back here! he'd probably lay into us pretty harshly though, but it would be worth it.

  • I rekon Prince Philip is right. After all his ilk did write history.

  • You say Tomato and I'll say Tomata! C'mon everyone sing along!

  • The Dutch had settled in America before the English, I wonder if the site of this mueseum is originally Dutch.

  • was that Second Lady Cheney? What the hell does she know...

  • Horses were here before the shifting of tectonic plates. Camels were native to america too. Strange eh?

  • Times that by two. In other words I copy that.

  • Prince Philip pwned the supposed expert.

  • I was taught that the Spaniards brought horses to America. Yet I remember a Native American friend insisting that, according to his tribe's tradition, horses were here before the Spaniards. I also read there were horses thousands of years ago in America, but they had died out.

    Prince Philip is a knowledgeable man, who has spoken with countless people worldwide. He must have got his information from a credible source.

    Maybe it's presumptuous of me to say, but he looks very trustworthy to me.

  • lol presumptuous indeed.

    research how prince philip is supporting a eugenics themed enviornmental movement to 'reduce population' in 3rd world countries.

  • yes thats exactly true.. delusional twat

  • DAMN STRAIGHT! Even our own countrymen are ignorant to that fact (arch571332 espically) Your friend and Prince Phillip are right. Fossilized remains of horses were found in the Black Hills that carbon date back to the end of the last ice age. NATGEO had a special on that about 6 months ago and its in my tribal record. Horses didnt die out, the population was almost gone until the Spaniards brought more.

  • Well, every source I have read, and watched, and talked to says that horses were not here at the same time that the Spanish arrived. This includes the video description written by the poster of this video in the upper right hand corner. If you could direct me to where you found this information, then I would be glad to check it out.

  • "Fossilized remains of horses were found in the Black Hills that carbon date back to the end of the last ice age"

    This does not contradict what I typed. Yes you would find remains that carbon date to the last ice age but I was just saying that they went extinct in North America after this.

    "its in my tribal record"

    What do you mean by this? Are you a native american?

  • Yes. Blackfoot. There is a sample of a horse femur on the Stockbridge Reservation. It is something that is not published too often since it is on tribal land. Its a long and demanding process to get permission to check it out since it is part of a grave of a chief of the Pontiacs

  • How old is the grave? If you don't mind me asking.

  • Sure. The grave was about 22 feet down. We were drilling for another well when they made contact. The site was fully dug out around 10 years ago. I have to go back to the res and get more precise details. As I have said before, its difficult to get info. Blackfoot dont speak of the dead if it can be helped. Since it was found on another res, its thats tribal council's dominion.
