Picture mammoths munching on tundra as Britannia cuddles with Europe, then picture it cast adrift by rising seas. From giant deer to flint-wielding humans, prehistory brims with tales of survival and innovation. Meet Cheddar Man, his skull scraped clean – was it cannibalism or ritual? Imagine Stonehenge rising, silent guardian of secrets, while Britons build hill forts and bronze shines bright. Then, iron creeps in, Celts paint the land with their language, and a Greek maps it with a walking stick. Trade explodes, coins fly, and walled towns sprout against barbarian threats. Farmers till the land, weak ale sloshes in cups, and mead fuels feasts where Druids, whispers of human sacrifice clinging to their robes, preside. But in the Lindow Man’s bloodstained bog, mystery lingers. Soon, Rome’s shadow stretches across the channel, promising a clash for the ages. Britannia’s prehistoric saga is just getting started!
