Until the successful Roman invasion of Ancient Britain, and the subsequent occupation, our history books tell us that the island was a land of wild savages speaking strange languages, performing barbaric rituals and with no real civilisation of the population having taken place. Presenter Francis Pryor debunks this widely-held notion with some interesting archaeological finds, and shows us how an independent, civilised and deeply spiritual nation had been developing for over 10,000 years before the Romans took over. The largest empire of it's time did not introduce roads, common language, laws or civilisation to ancient Britain, because they had already existed. |
