The Study of Antiquity & the Middle Ages presents detailed longform videos on ancient history that presents the scholarly consensus. This episode is an adaptation of a PLOS Genetics article on the fate of the Pictish people. I feared it would be too dense and technical but we have yet to find the limit of our audience's appetite for details.
The article, Imputed genomes and haplotype-based analyses of the Picts of early medieval Scotland reveal fine-scale relatedness between Iron Age, early medieval and the modern people of the UK can be found here

Is this your channel? If so, nice! I'm always looking for more long-form history related channels. Subbed!
p.s. But also if so: I'm not trying to totally discourage you from posting here on Tildes, but I do think it's worth pointing out Tildes self-promotion rules just in case you weren't aware of them... and so you don't inadvertently get banned for spamming:
Self-promotion
If you have your own site/project/channel/etc. that you'd like to share on Tildes, that's generally fine (in moderation), but it shouldn't be the primary reason that you post on the site. Tildes is a community, not a free advertising platform. Sharing your own content is welcome as long as you're involved in the community, but don't just treat Tildes as a source of an audience.

As a reddit refugee, I've been heavily engaged on a number of subs for like 14 years, but eventually grew fatigued by the demands of social media. I was always confounded by the inability to promote my actual digital content--not for money or clout or whatever but because these videos are how I contribute to the online discussion. Not with snarky one-liners in the comment section of sites like this but with 35 minute heavily-researched and produced videos. I write novels and produce audiobooks. These are my responses to the headlines of the day. But because they are promoted on platforms where most people are hustlers, they've ruined my ability to post such content in good faith.
Sigh.
Anyway, I plan on being a more active member of the tildes social community. I hope this post is taken in the spirit it is given, as a calling card of what I might be able to provide this site and the kinds of conversations it can inspire.
Nobody likes hustlers. But the idea that these social media sites shouldn't be a "free advertising platform" for most amateur creators with honest intent does little but stifle ambition and actual discussion.

How strange, I just watched this video on Friday, and I was not subscribed to your channel! It was very technical of course, but I still enjoyed it. The only constructive criticism I have is that I found myself repeatedly pausing the video to look at the charts. I don't know how to edit videos, but I wonder if it's possible to leave the charts up longer in future uploads?
Thanks for soldiering through! This is definitely one of our most challenging videos. But I thought it was necessary to read it into the record, especially since the open-source article was so...
Thanks for soldiering through! This is definitely one of our most challenging videos. But I thought it was necessary to read it into the record, especially since the open-source article was so well-written with such good visual aids. Nearly all my other videos are scripts I write, with a kinder treatment of the audience.
I’m afraid your method of pausing and studying the charts is probably the best way to absorb it, although I hope people take my advice to read along with my narration. Thanks again for your attention and time.
