Ancient Germanic Swastika: Documentary

I have collected tons of archaeological to support my theory of what the fylfot really means. I hope you will agree with my conclusion and that you will find these artefacts and charming and intriguing as I do.

The swastika was used by ancient Germanic peoples such as the Goths, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. But what did it mean? Some say it was a symbol of the sun, some think it was borrowed from the Romans. In this video I explain how the swastika aka fylfot was actually connected to the cult of the god Wotan aka Odin.

A visual depiction of Britain's genetic history of migrations

 

I worked with graphic designer, JonuxCreative to make a graph showing 12,000 years of South British genetic history. Starting with Western Hunter Gatherers in Blue, then Neolithic farmers in green and Indo-Europeans in orange. The subsequent migrations of Celts, Anglo-Saxons and French people merely reshuffled the quantity of existing ancestral components. Therefore Britain's genetic history is marked by its remarkable continuity.
