The Original MEGALITH BUILDERS of Brittany might NOT be who who we thought.

Michael & Rupert discuss the origins of megalithic monuments. ⭐️ Watch videos ad-free & support the channel on PATREON 👉🏻   / theprehistoryguys   ⭐️ Fund our location filming at BUY ME A COFFEEE 👉🏻 https://buymeacoffee.com/prehistoryguys We think that even if you’re only slightly intrigued by the origins of megalith building in North West Europe 7,000 years ago, you’ll find the discussion Rupert and I are about to have absolutely fascinating. If you went looking for where it all started, we’d bet you wouldn’t start on two tiny islands just off the coast of Brittany. Moreover, we don’t think you’d be considering the Mesolithic hunter/fisher gatherers that lived there as having a role to play. However, stick with us as we attempt to make the case for the inhabitants of the islands of Téviec and Hoëdic being instrumental in the explosion of megalith building around the turn of the 5th millennium BCE. 🎤 THE PREHISTORY PODCAST 🎤: https://www.patreon.com/public-rss/30... 00:00 - Intro & visit to Hoédic 02:18 - The ‘Ladies of Téviec’ 05:53 - The Péquarts and the Téviec excavations 07:39 - What’s important: the timeline 08:20 - Significance of sea level rise 09:50 - A confluence of the Neolithic and the Mesolithic 12:18 - Proto-monumentalism on Téviec & Hoédic? 15:45 - Who were the more heirarchical? 18:40 - A prehistoric inflection point 22:30 - Plus a threat from the sea? 24:10 - Summing up & goodbyes 📺 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...
