  • and Why does the BBC continue to spew crap like this? Because they would rather distort history than admit their true origins.

  • hellfire! Just once I would like to see someone do a study on ancient Europe without taking the roman PROPAGANDA as fact. If a Roman or a Greek wrote it, they call it history. If anyone else wrote it, they call it "mythology".

    Boudicca was not "Anglian", Mons Graupius was, at best, a little skirmish over a granary, and the island of Britain was a province of Rome in name alone. As soon as they started treating the British Celts like roman slaves, they got booted out by an alliance of many.

  • I guess the Romans confused the British with a bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys.

  • @LaserBeam002 yeah cos the battle of stirling bridge was only meant to have been between about 2000 men if that .over a stone slab that could only fit 1 horse and cart at a time across a 5 foot burn ...i guess the winner does write history then .....propaganda is not a new sport lol ,,i can just imagine that the scribes would say the king had a million men to crush the barbarian hordes ...and that greek carry on were 300 stopped a couple of million hahahah yeah 300 backed by 10,000

  • @reksub10 Usually 40,000 total. Not warriors. In ancient days writers usually were not all that accurate. When they wrote of armies numbering in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands they usually meant 10 to 20 thousand.

  • when historians say an army of 40,000 was sent ,do they mean 40,000 warriors or 40,000 in the whole train/convoy?

  • paz toy en tu profile d youtube muajaja adivina quien soy!!

  • @LambChowder1 N,E,S,W, it matters not. He calls the Iceni an Anglian tribe when they were not. If he had of described it as you have there would be no room for misinterpretation, but he chose a different selection of words. When informing people of history its important to be as accurate as possible. A less educated person on this subject may have been mislead into believing the Iceni were an English tribe, I cleared that up for them. That was the point of my comment. Cheers.

  • @Skyswinger He said east anglian. As in the tribe residing in modern day east anglia. Yeesh, and youre throwing around accusations of agendas

  • @RideMyBMW Oh no now I have healthcare, im being oppressed....uughh the tyranny someone please help me...all this tyranny. Damn the FICA tax, its such tyrannyy
