Description
A History of Ancient Britain by Neil Oliver explores the earliest inhabitants of Britain, their struggle for survival, and the cultures that developed on the islands. The story begins 500,000 years ago, with the last Ice Age retreating and bringing a new era of human habitation. The resulting island was shaped by a series of devastating events, including a massive tsunami that flooded the low-lying plains of the North Sea. Through the artefacts of the past, Neil Oliver reconstructs the epic story of Britain's people, spanning half a million years of human history up to the departure of the Roman Empire in the Fifth Century AD. This is the real story of Britain, accounting for more than ninety-nine per cent of humankind's presence on the islands.
