Real History

[Cotswold]

It is believed the ancient Picts that inhabited Scotland from the late Iron Age until the around the 10th century AD were black, as explained in a new history book for CHILDREN.

It is believed by these crackpots that the ancient Picts who inhabited Scotland from the late Iron Age until the around the 10th century AD were black. As shown in the photograph below from the 9th century, the Picts have captured an Englishman and are in the process of inflicting excruciating pain upon him. Just one example from the new Labour & Liberal Wokepress Ltd book at just £1,255 from Amazon.

So presumably when the Scots saw the Norman invasion in England and Wales they made hundreds of ships and sailed off until they bumped into Africa. They then populated it with black Picts wearing grass skirts instead of kilts due to a lack of sheep and wool weaving factories. As the English and the Scots have always fought each other. When, centuries later the English discovered Africa, old rivalries surfaced resulting in the battle of Rorkes Drift and the making of the historically accurate movie Zulu.
So concludes todays true and accurate history lesson.

The idea of the Picts being dark-skinned is an old one. In the works of the Pulp writer Robert Howard (creator of Conan), the Picts were a small dark people.

As is usual with this nonsense, there is a tiny grain of truth. The first farmers to migrate to Britain were olive-skinned (from the Middle East). That population seems to have evolved lighter skin as an adaption to the lower light levels of Britain, requiring light skin to avoid Vitamin D deficiency.

That original population was largely replaced by the Celtic invaders from the mainland. The Picts were a Celtic group.
