Tom Rowsell is a historian and an independent film maker, director and editor, known for From Runes to Ruins (2014) and his YouTube channel Survive the Jive, which includes documentary films about pagan religion and ancient European cultures.
In this episode, Tom and I delve into the genetic ancestry of the British peoples and how Genetic studies reveal the stability of Northwest European ancestry over time, the significance of ancient monuments, and national myths such as those surrounding King Arthur, the impact of Christianity on Germanic cultures and the evolving narratives that shape British identity, the complex history of Christianity's spread in the British Isles and Europe more broadly, the nuances of the relations between Celtic and Anglo-Saxon peoples, and why modern pro-immigration narratives in the context of mass immigration obscure Britain's development in the context of historical migrations and ancestry and much, much more.
