Neolithic Britain: How Stone Circles, Farming, and Rituals Transformed an Island

Описание: Step back over 6,000 years and uncover how the people of Neolithic Britain transformed the landscape—and laid the foundations of British civilization.

From the first farmers to monumental tombs and mysterious stone circles, this was an age of profound change. In this episode, we explore how ancient Britons shifted from nomadic hunter-gatherers to agricultural pioneers, built sacred sites without metal tools, and created legacies that still puzzle archaeologists today.

The first settled communities and their architecture
