Horned helmets were real. They were worn throughout late Bronze Age Europe. This is the story the extraordinary Veksø Helmets from Bronze Age Denmark. Who wore these horned helmets? Were they ritual costume or warrior’s armour? And what can similar horned figures from here in Scandinavia, and the rest of Europe, tell us about the pageantry of ancient warfare?

Saint George was a Christian Greek soldier of the Roman Empire, from Cappadocia or perhaps Syria who was martyred for refusing to sacrifice to the Roman gods.

Uploaded 23-04-21

He was a heroic figure to people right across Christendom and one who was particularly attractive to soldiers because he had been one himself.

The serpent as a symbol in stories and art represents the external, the other, the great enemy, the demons, the evil that wants nothing but to destroy us.

And the dragon-slayer therefore represents order, stability, continuity.

He is the strong arm of the mighty that keeps chaos at bay.

The Funnelbeaker culture appear in my novel Thunderer: Gods of Bronze 2. In the story they're called the Furun but what were the real historical people like?

Uploaded 12-04-21

(Get your free copy of the Bronze Age fantasy story Wolf God here: http://dandavisauthor.com/ )

This video series is called People of the Bronze Age so I should say before we get started that the Funnelbeaker were a Neolithic people but the end of their culture, which is when Thunderer takes place, coincides with the coming of the Bronze Age.

European farmers reached the southern edge of the North European Plain, not far south of the Baltic coast, before 5000 BC but didn't reach northern Germany and southern Scandinavia until 1000 years later. So for a thousand years there was some interaction with groups of the Late Mesolithic Ertebølle Culture - a hunter gatherer people in this region during the 5th millennium BC which is shown by traded stone axes and other artefacts.

Once it was thought that these northern hunter gathers gradually adopted farming over that thousand years but thanks to DNA analysis we know that's not the case.

In prehistoric Europe and Western Asia the people of the steppe waged war against one another and settled peoples in the form of the raid. Bronze Age warfare was like that.

Uploaded 06-01-21

There were no armies in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. Conflict between groups was waged by small warbands stealing cattle and abducting women with which to strengthen their own tribes.

The youths would undergo a long and complex warrior initiation on their path to manhood and the koryos was the climax of that process.

To quote from The One-Eyed God by Kris Kershaw, these warbands were primarily "the business of the adolescent boys, who functioned as highly mobile guerrilla bands and at the same time learned hardiness, self-control, stealth and strategy, and other warrior qualities."

In my novel series Gods of Bronze the heroes are part of a koryos.

Catalhöyük was founded in around 7000 BC in central Anatolia. This ancient Neolithic site transformed our understanding of the first settlements in prehistory. The tightly packed houses, burials beneath house floors, and the striking wall art and incredible figurines astonished the world. Archeologists believe this was an egalitarian and even matrilineal society. Drawing on archaeology and ancient DNA, this film charts how this remarkable community rose, adapted to climate and social change, and ultimately came to an end.

The Yamnaya culture was a Copper Age to early Bronze Age archaeological culture of the Pontic steppe (north of the Black Sea) dating to 3300–2600 BC. Its name derives from its characteristic burial tradition: yamnaya is a Russian adjective that means 'related to pits', and these people used to bury their dead in tumuli (the famous kurgans - which we call barrows or burial mounds in Britain) containing simple pit chambers beneath the mounds. In life they practiced transhumance, a type of pastoralism or nomadism where they spent winters in wooded river valleys and summers out on the grasslands with their herds. The Yamnaya culture is identified with the late Proto-Indo-Europeans, and is the strongest candidate for the original homeland of the Proto-Indo-European language (of which English is just one of many descendants). They possibly invented the wheel, they were the first (or almost) to domesticate and ride horses, and they invented 4-wheeled, ox-drawn axeled wagons that enabled them to drive herds of cattle across the steppes and carry enough water and shelter with them to do so.

The Corded Ware culture existed between c. 3000 BC – c. 2300 BC, spanning the late Neolithic, through the Copper Age, and the early Bronze Age.

Uploaded 05-04-21

The name Corded Ware comes from the cord-like impressions on their pottery.

They encompassed a vast area, from the Rhine on the west to the Volga in the east, occupying parts of Northern Europe, Central Europe and Eastern Europe.

They were descended from Western Steppe Herders populations (like the Yamnaya) who moved into Neolithic Europe and merged with the farming populations from the Globular Amphora culture and the Funnelbeaker culture.

These people were, to one extent or another, ancestral to all northern European people from the Baltic to the Atlantic.

Five thousand years ago, across the plains of modern Ukraine and Romania, the people of the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture built some of the largest settlements on Earth. For decades, these remarkable communities have been presented as egalitarian proto-cities without kings, palaces, or social hierarchy. But recent discoveries have revealed enormous megastructures whose purpose remains fiercely debated. Were they temples, assembly halls, elite residences, lineage houses, men's houses, or centres of governance? In this video, I explore the archaeology of the Trypillia megastructures and what they reveal about power, inequality, religion, and social organisation in prehistoric Europe.

10,000 years ago, Mesolithic hunter-gatherers lived across Britain and Ireland, connected to Europe through the lost landscape of Doggerland before it was lost beneath the sea. In this video I tell you about their lives, tools, movement, and beliefs, from seasonal camps to complex burials. Using ancient DNA, including the famous Cheddar Man, we examine the genetics of WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherers) and what it reveals about their appearance and origins. Far from being simple or static, these people shaped their environments. This is the epic story of the Mesolithic hunter-gatherers of Britain and Ireland.
