Barbarians - The Primitive Celts

FOR MORE GREAT DOCUMENTARIES GO TO www.DocuFans.com and support the site Thanks


So you think you know everything about the Romans? They gave us sophisticated road systems, chariots and the modern-day calendar. And of course they had to contend with barbarian hordes who continually threatened the peace, safety and prosperity of their Empire. Didn't they? Terry Jones' Barbarians takes a completely fresh approach to Roman history. Not only does it offer us the chance to see the Romans from a non-Roman perspective, it also reveals that most of the people written off by the Romans as uncivilized, savage and barbaric were in fact organized, motivated and intelligent groups of people, with no intentions of overthrowing Rome and plundering its Empire.

@MrBalkanSoldier serious dude first off have u seen Africa is at least 90% 3rd world country filled with aboriginals living as border line cave men and Jews aren't even a race its religion formed out in the middle of some dried up desert and there aren't any Romans left so your saying every one else, but a empire lost to the ages, a bunch of tribal men wearing loincloths and a religion that has been put into slave labor for 1000's of years are civilized?

@resculptit actually that's more accurate then it sounds actually at that time salt it self sold for equal to that of gold and seasonings were also sold for great amounts but gold was also very valuable and in Caesar had a great deal of gold after his campaign but actually its not an easy metal to play with its a very dense metal and could prove some what difficulty in use but it could last the time seeing how it never rusts and the metal it self is quiet beautiful when turn into art.

@afterapplepicking Yes that was a good movie but, that besides the point of the video you dumb ass the whole point was to show how full of BS Caesar was and that he only sacked them for political reason some what similar to hitter with the genocide of the Jews but, i digress the point is to unlock the history of old clouded by lies of the victor and to uncover the truth of what happened and not that some movie made up as action thriller when really there was only one in depth recorded fight.

@resculptit Well they can't very well go back there and watch every little event with there own eyes and also its more likely they will find rich & famous people artifacts than the every day common guy because, they were more then likely better preserved with there goods in private or family crypts of some sort as in most cutlers. so you can see how this could be frustrating but with 2000 year old artifacts you can see were its kind of hard to put things together correctly like the calendar.

[mrkickazz23]

how the hell did the Romans move 70 tons of gold without some sort of public uprising? seeing how Caesar was separate from the main council and only a governor you could see how that much plunder could be a little bit of a problem with other generals wanting to get in on the loot or even the council them selves. they must have gotten word of it some how seeing how the council was corrupt as it is but also had a great message system to get word across something just doesn't add up.
