Bronze age cist burial. These were used in parts of Britain such as Scotland and Dartmoor and somewhat resemble Neolithic chambered stone tombs but they are much smaller and seem to be made for an individual burial - like a coffin.

They can contain rich grave goods including metal weapons

The Beaker folk liked to place their barrows on prominent places and this is about as prominent as it gets. Gallantry Bower is a Bronze age bell barrow right on the edge of a high cliff on the coast of North Devon. Its on a spectacular walking trail near Clovelly.

How beautiful they are, the lordly ones
who dwell in the hills, in the hollow hills.
They have faces like flowers
and their breath is a wind
that blows over summer meadows filled with dewy clover.
Their limbs are more white than shafts of moonshine,
They are more fleet than the March wind,
They laugh and are glad and are terrible
When their lances shake and glitter
Ev’ry green reed quivers.
How beautiful they are,
How beautiful,
The lordly ones in the hollow hills.

Written by by William Sharp (1855 - 1905), as Fiona Macleod.

90% of WHG individuals carried the number 1 DNA marker associated with sunburns, the inability to tan, and skin caner.

It is....

Chr: 6
Gene: IFR4
SNP: rs12203592
Position: 396321

This DNA marker has been mentioned in many studies.

Here is one example.
Viconti 2018
Genome-wide association study in 176,678 Europeans reveals genetic loci for tanning response to sun exposure.
https://europepmc.org/article/MED/29739929#id782720

In this study rs12203592>T was more associated with skin caner
and inability more than anyother DNA marker.


It had a P-value of
1.91x10-567 for inability to tan

P-Value are used in DNA studies to measure
the association between a DNA marker and
a phenotype.

The lower the number more associated it is with a trait.

I have read many studies and I can tell you that
you will almost never see a DNA marker
with as low of a P-value
as rs12203592>T does with the inability tan

rs12203592>T is mainly studies on studies on skin cancer
which are studies few people read.

That is why this DNA markers massive impact on the inability to tan
has gones unnoticed.

More often than not modern individuals with rs12203592>T have struggle
tanning in the sun and they often have skin cancer.

It seems this proves WHg was adapted to low sunlight
northern latitudes.


I am working on a short video about rs12203592>T in WHG.
NEW FIND: Anglo-Saxon coin with a "Valknut", dated to the 7th century, pre-dating the Viking era and therefore disproving the claim that the pagan symbol was unknown in Britain prior to the Vikings.

It could be the oldest Anglo-Saxon coin ever found. Some are saying the figure wields a Christian cross over the Valknut, a pagan symbol, and that would seem to indicate a representation of Christian faith beating Paganism.

Alternatively, it is an expression of the religious pluralism of a transitionary dual faith period when both religions were practised by the English. The Valknut does seem much more prominent than the cross on that side, and the other side has a Christian cross which is sort of arranged in the shape of a Swastika, which was a symbol of the god Woden.

We know from Bede that a king who lived in East Anglia, where this coin was found, around the same time it was made, practised dual faith, keeping an idol of Jesus next to those of the English gods. So this seems plausible...
Concept art of Vikings by aria safarzadegan for National Geographic
Professor Helmuth Nyborg, formerly of Aarhus University (1968-2007), wrote this piece criticising Eske Willerslev for his misleading portrayal of brown vikings and for his attack on Sturla Ellingsvåg of Viking stories, who he removed from the project.

NEW EPISODE — Radio North Sea International — How Roman were the Germans?

https://hearthfireradio.com/watch?v=bFMQFurY

German and by extension Germanic identity is sometimes constructed, with figures such as Arminius, in opposition to the Romans. Today, Tom explores the ways in which Roman culture influenced the Germanic peoples, and how men as far North as Norway served as auxilia in the Roman military.
