The First Horse Warriors | Bronze Age Warfare
Who were the first people to fight on horseback? Horses were domesticated on the Eurasian steppe thousands of years ago and were first used for their milk, meat, and hides.
And at some point, people began riding them. But when were they first used in warfare? Where was mounted combat first practiced and who were the first people to perfect it?
In this video we're looking at the late Neolithic Yamnaya and Corded Ware cultures, the Bronze Age Sintashta and Andronovo cultures, and the Iron Age Assyrians, Scythians, Saka, and Cimmerians.
This is the story of the first horse warriors.
Paganism in Roman Britain
What was religion like in Roman Britain? What pre-Roman deities persisted? Which new gods came with Romans?
This lecture by Ronald Hutton looks at the evidence: inscriptions, statues and figurines, carvings and all the impediments of ritual, as well as the testimony of hundreds of burials. It shows how the Romans developed the cults of native deities such as Sulis and Belatucadros, and imported their own official divinities such as Jupiter and Mercury and mystery religions such as that of Mithras.

Mysterious Lost Sunken City: 9,000-Year-Old Settlement of Atlit-Yam
For the past few decades, dozens of submerged sites have been found off the Mediterranean coast of Israel. We have a Kebaran site dating back 22,000 to 14,500 years ago. There is a Natufian site dating from 14,500 to 11,500 years ago, we have many Neolithic and early Chalcolithic submerged sites but what I’m focussing on today is the incredible Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of Atlit-Yam.
This is a late Pre-Pottery Neolithic B site, although some classify it as Pre-Pottery Neolithic C, with continuous occupation dating from 9,400 to around 8,000 years ago.
It’s a large fishing village, a permanent settlement now lying 9-12 metres below sea level, off the coast of Israel, 10km south of Haifa, in the North Bay of the town of Atlit.
This is a truly incredible site with unique archaeology, including the world's oldest example of a stone water well, a megalithic stone circle, rectangular dwellings, artefacts, human, animal and plant remains and more.
Although it was eventually swallowed up by the rising sea level, is this the reason Atlit-Yam came to an end? Some say yes, but others say there is evidence the settlement was struck by an enormous tsunami. Watch the video to learn more.
