The Wihtwara. The rediscovered people of the Isle of Wight. Jan Harper Whale

The Wihtwara has now been published by Amazon. This wonderfully crafted documentary by Bamboo Roots gives an introduction to the first of a trilogy of books honouring, for the first time, an extensively researched and verified history of an entirely forgotten race of people, our Ancestors who lived on this sacred island over 2,700 years ago. They lived, grew and were dedicated caretakers of the land, who were slaughtered in 686 by Caedwalla of Wessex who sought kingship, Bretwalda, to become king of kings. The genocide was almost total, and in its wake, Caedwalla brought Christian people from the mainland to replace a now extinct Pagan population. Aided and abetted by Wilfred, the ethnic cleansing was brutal and devastating. The Longstone witnessed the worst battle and the echoes remain in the ancient stone for those who are empathetic and adept.
