About 4400 years ago, around 2400 BC, a vast wave of migrations from the continent started replacing the native Neolithic people of Britain, bringing bronze technology with them to replace the Neolithic stone technology... and bringing their genetic material to replace the natives with as well.. Within about 100 years, 90% of the Neolithic peoples had vanished, and were replaced by Continentals.
Then again, around 3000 years ago, circa 1000 BC, there was another huge wave of migrations from the continent, and the culture of Britain underwent another massive transformation, as the incoming newcomers brought in iron technology and all the cultural trappings that went with it.
Around 2000 years ago, Britain was invaded by Rome. The native Briton culture was replaced by the Roman culture of the conquerors, and a hybrid "Romano-British" culture developed as the Ovelords from Rome forced themselves on the British.
About 1600 years ago, Rome abandoned the British, leaving them to their own devices, and the Jutes, Angles, and Saxons took their turn with Britannia.
About 1000 years ago, it was the Danes coming to conquer, then settling down..
We know all this from the archaeological record. Each successive wave of conquerors and immigrants left their footprints under the sod.
1000 years from now, will Muslim scholars be digging in the dirt, looking for the time stamp to celebrate THEIR conquest of Britain? Trying to firm up the date when Britain became Islamic?
Kinda makes me wonder if the Neolithic peoples of Britain were accused of "racism" as well, as they watched their own culture and people, their entire way of life, vanish into the mists churned up by the invading Continentals.
