Roots of the Angles // History Documentary

 

Ambushed by Angles by Christian Sloan Hall

 

This film, a sequel to Roots of the Saxons, explores the ancient homeland of the Angles and their beliefs through artefacts, symbols, stone circles and bogs. I discuss the meaning behind these objects and how they connect to old traditions and gods, inviting viewers to uncover timeless wisdom from the past. Filmed in Germany and Denmark, it reveals why wetlands were so important to the Germanic Angles who later invaded Britain and became the English people.
