	Ancient Britons and Nennius
		Moreover, he ordered it to be made between the Britons, and the Picts and Scots; for the Scots from the west, and the Picts from the north, unanimously made war against the Britons; but were at peace among themselves.
		After this, the Britons despised the authority of the Romans, equally refusing to pay them tribute, or to receive their kings; nor durst the Romans any longer attempt the government of a country, the natives of which massacred their deputies.
		After the above-said war between the Britons and Romans, the assassination of their rulers, and the victory of Maximus, who slew Gratian, and the termination of the Roman power in Britain, they were in alarm forty years.

		Chapter I. Ancient Population of Britain—Political State of the Provinces under the Romans—Formation of the States of Modern Europe, under the Tyrants of the Lower Empire—Tyrants of Britain—Invasions of the Saxons, Scots, and Picts—Britain finally separated from the Empire.
		The political ancestry of the ancient monarchs of Anglo-Saxon Britain, must therefore be sought amongst the sovereigns who are expunged from the regular series of the Cæsars, and put at the bottom of the page by the chronologists of the empire.
		The population was greatly mixed; the Britons approached nearly to the number of the English, and the chieftains, or Ealdormen, who ruled the minor states of which it was composed, possessed great power; so that the kingdom contained within it the seeds of disunion and decay.

		In his book Ancient Egyptians: The kingdom of the pharaohs brought to life, Anton Gill expands on these stories, focusing on what it was like to be an ordinary Egyptian at the time.
		He precedes this with a survey of ancient Egyptian history so that readers can locate the stories in the context of the civilisation in which they took place.
		It took a long time for the national religion of ancient Egypt to become formalised into a more or less stable pantheon that was worshipped consistently everywhere.

		In addition to the ancient evidence G. also examines how the image of these two peoples in ancient literature was confined to particular topoi and how this influenced their depiction in scholarly texts from the 1870s onwards.
		According to G. German scholarship was the most active in the study of the ancient Germans and thus justifies an organisation of the material according to the major periods of German history over the past 130 years.
		She claims primarily that the ancient authors do not differentiate between the highland and lowland zones of Britain--the archaeological evidence in contrast shows a differentiated picture, but apparently the literary sources do not reflect this at all.

	Celtic Myth and Legend: Chapter III. Who Were the ''Ancient Britons''?
		But, before proceeding to recount the myths of the "Ancient Britons", it will be well to decide what people, exactly, we mean by that loose but convenient phrase.
		Similarly, the words "Briton" and "British" have come to mean, at the present day, the people of the whole of the British Islands, though they at first only signified the inhabitants of England, Central Wales, the Lowlands of Scotland, and the Brythonic colony in Brittany.
		Ancient Greek and Ancient Celt had very much the same conceptions of life, both as regards this world and the next.

		He was called Posthumus because he was born after the death of Aeneas his father; and his mother Lavinia concealed herself during her pregnancy; he was called Silvius, because he was born in a wood.
		Hence the Roman kings were called Silvan, and the Britons from Brutus, and rose from the family of Brutus.
		The Romans were, therefore, a third time sent against the Britons; and under the command of Julius, defeated them near a place called Trinovantum [London], forty-seven years before the birth of Christ, and five thousand two hundred and twelve years from the creation.

		Richards, reporting with two colleagues in the journal Nature, analyzed bones from 183 ancient Britons for distinctive carbon signatures that reveal whether an individual ate mostly fish or meat.
		But he noted that ancient Britons had no apparent reason to abandon a culture that used hooks, lines, nets, weirs and traps to create a diet that embraced everything from freshwater "panfish" to large, deep-sea predator species.
		Also, he noted that the ancient Danes similarly underwent a shift from fish to meat at the same time as the Britons.

	The Chronicles of the early Britons
		It was only to be expected (by the Britons) that the locals would meet the assault, and the opposition to the landing had been unsuccessful in any case.
		However, it would not have occurred to the Britons that such a thing would be contemplated let alone possible, and so it is that when the advance scouting parties of the Britons could no longer see Caesar's ships beached upon the strand, they naturally but wrongly assumed that he had fled these shores.
		But the history of the early Britons can be carried back further still, much further back, to the 12th century BC in fact, the time of the very foundation of the British nation.

		The fact that these ancient remains were preserved with their skeletons intact shows that Bronze Age Britons knew exactly how long to leave their dead suspended in the peat bog's murky depths.
		Ancient Britons started mummifying their dead at around the same time as the ancient Egyptians, according to a British archaeologist.
		Wrappings have since rotted, but proof they were mummified comes from the fact that the bodies were gutted and carbon dating shows them to have died up to 600 years before burial.

		Given the consanguine family, which involved own brothers and sisters and also collateral brothers and sisters in the marriage relation, and it was only necessary to exclude the former from the group, and retain the latter, to change the consanguine into the punaluan family.
		Another remarkable fact with respect to the custom of punalua is the necessity which exists for its ancient prevalence among the ancestors of the Turanian and Ganowanian families when their system of consanguinity was formed.
		Communism in living seems to have originated in the necessities of the consanguine family, to have been continued in the punaluan, and to have been transmitted to the Syndyasmian among the American aborigines, with whom it remained a practice down to the epoch of their discovery.

	Bones provide 'irrefutable evidence' that ancient Britons were cannibals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Discovered at the bottom of what, in ancient times, had been a 10-metre-deep natural pit, the human remains date from around the time of the Roman conquest of Britain and may have been deposited there by Celtic Druid priests as part of a mass sacrificial rite connected with armed opposition to the Roman invaders.
		So far the excavations in the ancient pit – directed by Mark Horton, reader in archaeology at the University of Bristol – have yielded the remains of seven human corpses, at least one of which appears to have been subjected to cannibalistic activity.
		Because healthy respected males were essential to military victory, the ancient Celts preferred to sacrifice criminals or cripples – and this practice is confirmed by some of the material excavated so far at the site, Alveston in south Gloucestershire.

		The Britons were once very populous, and exercised extensive dominion from sea to sea.
		The Romans having obtained the dominion of the world, sent legates or deputies to the Britons to demand of them hostages and tribute, which they received from all other countries and islands; but they, fierce disdainful, and haughty, treated the legation with contempt.
		More over, he ordered it to be made between the Britons, and the Picts and Scots; for the Scots from the west, and the Picts form the north, unanimously made war against the Britons; but were at peace among themselves.

	Ancient Britons lose out to German blood from Guardian Unlimited: News blog
		The research suggests that Anglo-Saxons - people from what is now modern Germany - came to quickly dominate the gene pool of early Medieval England and supplant Ancient Britons (or Celts) because of a kind of racism, not dissimilar to South-African apartheid.
		The researchers cite ancient texts that show seventh century laws which put a far greater value on the life of an Anglo-Saxon than on that of a native Briton.
		The Telegraph says the study shows Ancient Britons "were the same as their modern counterparts, contemptuous of foreigners and snobbish about their neighbours".

		That long-lost origin and early history of our ancestors, the Britons, Scots and Anglo-Saxons, in the "Prehistoric" and Pre-Roman periods, back to about 3000 B.C., are now recovered to a great extent in the present work, by means of newly discovered historical evidence.
		And we discover that the hitherto inexplicable Unity in the essentials of all the Ancient Civilizations is owing to the original Unity of the Higher Civilization, and its diffusion throughout the world by its originators, the ruling race of Aryans, and especially by their sea‑going branch, the Phoenicians.
		And the intimate kinship of the Britons and British, properly so‑called, with the Norse‑-the joint preservers of the ancestral Gothic epics, the Eddas-‑is now disclosed to be much closer and much more ancient than has hitherto been suspected; and long before the Viking Age.
