Default 97 disco no power after head gasket job

Hi everyone, I just put everything back together after a head gasket job and put my battery in connected the red and black terminals. I have no power in the car at all. Like I have a dead battery. Dash or nothing lights up. What would cause this issue? I am hoping it’s something stupid I am missing

Do you want to let us know what the mistake was? (We all make dumb mistakes).

Of course. Two different cables come to the + battery terminal. One from the alternator and the other I don’t know where from. I forgot to connect that unknown one
