Timeline Of Britain
£2.49
The first Britons did very little to impose upon or alter the landscape they inhabited, & the gods they worshipped were those of nature itself. From as early as 5000 BC, farm tools, stone axes, pottery & antler combs were in common use by a nomadic community who lived entirely off the l&. These people disposed of their dead using a burial rite known as ï ½corpse exposureï ½, which means simply leaving a body in the open air to be devoured by animals & birds. It goes without saying that much has changed in Britain throughout the centuries, from the building of Stone Henge as a possible astronomical observatory or a temple for ritual worship in 2500 BC, to the Industrial revolution & the invention of the flying shuttle by John Kay in 1733. Timeline of Britain charts the rich history of our green & pleasant l&, from its birth in prehistory to the present day. ...
