This has probably been one of my favourite series of videos from your Channel. Would be interesting to see you take on similar ethno-cultures and trace them throughout history.

Would like to see all these forgotten Ethno-cultural groups and what 'happened' to them in a complete narrative like this one.
Lovely. I would not necessarily agree with the "disappearance" of continental Celts from history. I see it rather as a "blending in" and adding their cultural features to the general landscape of early medieval society (and what followed). We owe to them a vast amount of toponymics, geonymics, foundations of cities (as settlements, not as civitates, of course), dialects and general customs. What was lost was the explicit geo-political victory, and the cultural awareness of the self, as a consequence. Think about it as a painting: later societies decided the main themes, but the background colours and general style bore the hallmarks of this great, genuinely European culture.
The people of the British Isles and Ireland should be so proud of their long and rich history. It's so good to see that indigenous culture survived the Roman conquest. 😊😊😊
Boudica is still a massive hero to the UK, she was a badass, shame England didn't hold onto more of their Celtic traditions ie language etc Scotland and Wales still hold onto some of their celtic history England's Celts was assimilated and diluted, but with the northern parts holding out longer it is probably part of the reason why northern England has so many accents and is still very proud of being northern to this day at least partially

Those are not crosses or Christian, they are Egyptian ankhs that are in no way connected to Christianity. The closest thing would be Coptic Christians who adapted the ankh by changing the oval shape to a round one. But the use of the ankh in this video to represent the spread of Christianity is very odd. A minor detail I suppose, but in terms of symbolism, it appears that Egyptian pagan practices spread across the empire.

Meh, no mentioning of the battle of Mons Graupius. Also forgot in the last episode that continental celts where fighting in phallanx formation and did not stormed like lunatic nudists against roman shield walls. I would recommend the video of Metatron on how the ancient celts fought. Very entertaining video as always, but please more accuracy here and there.
Fantastic episode, although I question the history books at around minute 19:00. The Romans pretty much adopted a lot of the Druidic and pagan traditions into Christianity. Christmas is actually the winter solstice festival, Easter? Ostara in Germanic pagan traditions as well as Celtic. Assimilation at its finest.
Yeah the romans stole a lot of celtic holidays and traditions and now catholics and christians practice those traditions without knowing their true history. And when they are told where it comes from, they see those traditions as "demonic and pagan."
@@XxX-vi9if , yes indeed. The interesting thing is that in the bible, it says not to follow or celebrate any of the traditions or worship any other gods, change of seasons, sun, moon, stars or animals above, on or below the earth. It actually states which feasts any bible believer is supposed to follow, like Passover, the feast of unleavened bread, Shavuot etc.. So what I find interesting is that most Christians, who profess to follow or know the bible are actually contradicting what it says with their actions. They celebrate Christmas thinking that they are celebrating Jesus’ birthday, when in fact it’s the Saturnalia, or the Yuletide. So whether they like to admit it or not, they are definitely doing “demonic and pagan” traditions.
@@xavierapples1405 Except in these holidays they rarely practice the tradition of old or pagan rituals. They are done completely different and celebrate Christian events not pagan. Pagans didn’t light trees nor warped gift nor sung carols.
@@xavierapples1405 Christmas is celebrated differently all over the world if you don’t notice. However the reason why it is celebrated is what draws together. So no I don’t care about the slightest changes in how you celebrate but it’s about what is celebrated.
Scoti wasn’t an Irish tribe of pirates. It was the name the Roman’s gave to all the Irish, but initially all the Celts in the British Isles. And, because they settled the name on the Celts of Éirinn, that makes Scotland mean “Land of the Irish,” and of course, Nova Soctia is the New Land of the Irish. 😇
scoti means "pirate" not irish. there was no "irish" or "ireland" back then. you fenians are worse than the blacks always claiming other peoples history
I as a person who doesnt have any connection to celts whatsoever so much liked it. I also wonder. I've noticed that there is generally a typical % of dislikes in any video out there. It fluctuates but below 5% is the usual.
It's amazing to learn about the ancient and fantastical history of the celts it's always interested me how they are steeped in such a thick fog of fantastical and magical history

The closest thing would be Coptic Christians who adapted the ankh by changing the oval shape to a round one. But the use of the ankh in this video to represent the spread of Christianity is very odd. A minor detail I suppose, but in terms of symbolism, it appears that Egyptian pagan practices spread across the empire.
Let's get this final video published already!
Case no. n for “Why walls don’t keep people out”
'We're facing a horde of ginger maniacs, with wild goats nesting in their huge orange beards, or, to put it another way, 'The Scots', and how does our inspiring leader Hadrian intend to keep out this vast army of lunatics? By building a three foot high wall. A terrifying obstacle. About as frightening as a little rabbit with the word "boo" painted on its nose.'

Dunno about that friend, The Great Wall of China worked most of the time
Edit: also just noticed a day later haha, nice name you have there @John Titor I understood that reference

Nicely informative video. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Meh, no mentioning of the battle of Mons Graupius. Also forgot in the last episode that continental celts where fighting in phallanx formation and did not stormed like lunatic nudists against roman shield walls. I would recommend the video of Metatron on how the ancient celts fought.
Very entertaining video as always, but please more accuracy here and there.
Its accurate enough for such a short blip in history. Nothing but backyard barbarians clinging to pitiful old ways of life.
@@IPilotheHATREDCopterfighting for their culture and land , hardly pitiful my friend maybe a hint of envy 🏴
I love how the people we hear the least about. Are the people who effectively resisted
We need a video about the Battle of Kösedağ (Seljuk-Mongol)
I hope to see the next video depicting the post-roman conflict in Britain.
Fantastic episode, although I question the history books at around minute 19:00. The Romans pretty much adopted a lot of the Druidic and pagan traditions into Christianity. Christmas is actually the winter solstice festival, Easter? Ostara in Germanic pagan traditions as well as Celtic. Assimilation at its finest.
Yeah the romans stole a lot of celtic holidays and traditions and now catholics and christians practice those traditions without knowing their true history. And when they are told where it comes from, they see those traditions as "demonic and pagan."
@@XxX-vi9if , yes indeed. The interesting thing is that in the bible, it says not to follow or celebrate any of the traditions or worship any other gods, change of seasons, sun, moon, stars or animals above, on or below the earth. It actually states which feasts any bible believer is supposed to follow, like Passover, the feast of unleavened bread, Shavuot etc.. So what I find interesting is that most Christians, who profess to follow or know the bible are actually contradicting what it says with their actions. They celebrate Christmas thinking that they are celebrating Jesus’ birthday, when in fact it’s the Saturnalia, or the Yuletide. So whether they like to admit it or not, they are definitely doing “demonic and pagan” traditions.
@@xavierapples1405 Except in these holidays they rarely practice the tradition of old or pagan rituals. They are done completely different and celebrate Christian events not pagan.
Pagans didn’t light trees nor warped gift nor sung carols.
@@natenae8635 , so what are you saying? That it’s okay for Christians to celebrate these holidays as long as they change them slightly?
@@xavierapples1405 Christmas is celebrated differently all over the world if you don’t notice. However the reason why it is celebrated is what draws together. So no I don’t care about the slightest changes in how you celebrate but it’s about what is celebrated.
Great series
Scoti wasn’t an Irish tribe of pirates. It was the name the Roman’s gave to all the Irish, but initially all the Celts in the British Isles. And, because they settled the name on the Celts of Éirinn, that makes Scotland mean “Land of the Irish,” and of course, Nova Soctia is the New Land of the Irish. 😇
scoti means "pirate" not irish. there was no "irish" or "ireland" back then. you fenians are worse than the blacks always claiming other peoples history
Great video!
Who actually downvotes these videos, I just don't understand it
I as a person who doesnt have any connection to celts whatsoever so much liked it. I also wonder. I've noticed that there is generally a typical % of dislikes in any video out there. It fluctuates but below 5% is the usual.
It's amazing to learn about the ancient and fantastical history of the celts it's always interested me how they are steeped in such a thick fog of fantastical and magical history
