What If We Had a British Mythological Tradition Reaching to the Neolithic?

We discuss whether myth can inform prehistoric archaeology. PATREON 👉🏻   / theprehistoryguys   BUY ME A COFFEEE 👉🏻 https://buymeacoffee.com/prehistoryguys 🎤 THE PREHISTORY PODCAST 🎤: https://www.patreon.com/public-rss/30... At the heart of our connection to the past lies the narrative. Or words to that effect. We discuss how the stories handed down in some parts of the world as myth, like Hercules in Greece for example, might frame understanding of the archaeology. In our part of the world however, and in particular when we focus on megalithic sites, that connection is lost. Does that lack of a relational thread mean we interpret our archaeology from a very different viewpoint - unconsciously or not? 📺 LOADS MORE TO WATCH! 📺 FILMS by The Prehistory Guys    • FILMS by The Prehistory Guys   The GÖBEKLI TEPE TO STONEHENGE Project    • The GÖBEKLI TEPE to STONEHENGE Project   Prehistory Guys INTERVIEWS    • Prehistory Guys INTERVIEWS   SPECIAL REPORTS by The Prehistory Guys    • SPECIAL REPORTS by The Prehistory Guys   WEBSITE: https://theprehistoryguys.uk Facebook:   / theprehistoryguys   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/prehistorygu...
