The Celts have the most distinctive and beautiful aesthetics of all native cultures. Although I love the Germanic and Norse peoples cuz of my native relation to that ethnicity, I still gotta give the Celts the most credit in terms of what they accomplished and how they've managed to grow to this very day through modern Cetlic people. It's honorable.
Agree to disagree. You seriously expect Caesar to treat a foreign enemy general with respect? If you ask me Vercingetorix was lucky to live long enough to see Rome. Caesar could've just killed him right in Gaul and give his body to a random animal in the woods, but no, he was kind enough to leave him alive for 6 years after his capture, after which he was (if you ask me) humanely put to death by strangling, which I can only assume means hanging and therefore painless. So yeah, Caesar was kind and Merciful. Any other general would've had Vercingetorix executed the minute he set foot in the Roman Camp
@@Progamermove_2003 are you agreeing or disagreeing with me? I'm confused, since no one in this thread applied any "modern standards" to Caesar's treatment of Vercigetorix. Which, again, I think was not only justified, but unchracteristically fair
To add the spiral and the Celtic knot are different, the spiral represent the great mother to this day and also the Celtic knot is a intricate knot of spirals, that represent the journey of life. The Celtic people still exist today. I for one identify as a Anglo-Celtic 🏴🏴
Yes, they still exist. I'm a descendent of the picts in middle Scotland. The Roman's built a wall to keep them out. They wouldn't meet the Romans in open field. They would draw them into the forest to break their ranks and tear them apart. The Roman ninth legion went north to bring the Picts to heal. They disappeared without a trace. Badasses!
Love for the Celts. In the northern part of my homeland Tuscany there's a beautiful historical reconstruction of a miced etruscan-celtic village. Also, roman-celtic culture in France and Britain was fascinating.

11:18 the Boii gave their name to Bohemia ( actual Czech Republic) so your map put them too much to the west in the territory of the Vengiones... some Boii were in Aquitania since the Cimbri and Teutones campaigns but it was a small fraction of them.
You are correct. Celtic symbology can be found as far east as Ancient Greece and Turkey. So it would stand to reason, the tribes did too, in one form or other.
The image you use at 2.54 is from New Grange in Ireland. The carvings were made at least two thousand years before the Celts reached Ireland. So its not Celtic. The death of Vercingetorix ( 20:44 ) didnt mark the end of the Celts resistance against Rome. The Romans hadnt even started their conquest of Britannia at that point. Resistance continued against the Romans, for hundreds of years after this. The Romans never managed to conquer the whole of Britain.

I am swiss and the wicker man story reminds me a lot of the burning of the böögg(a giant wooden statue) each year in zürich,switzerland. It is supposed to end winter. The time it takes for the head to explode is supposed to tell how good or bad summer will be. Taranis was one of the celtic weather deities. I never made the connection and i guess not many other people did yet because this is not common knowledge,the annual burning supposedly started in the 16th century according to wiki. It is really hard to find good material about the celts. More people in switzerland identify with germanic or roman history,but the celts who were predominant and shaping the countries past for a long time are left out because of little writing available. More of that :)
In New Mexico It is called Zozobra, the burning man. He too is a huge effigy 50 ft tall and is a celebration of harvest and ridding ourselves of all that is bad to start the new year affresh. Rather scary looking thing I might add. The Fiesta de Santa Fe has been held since 1712 to celebrate the reconquest of the city in 1692 by Don Diego de Vargas from the Pueblo tribes who had occupied the city since the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. The Zozobra was started in 1924 by artist William Schuster Jr. New Mexico for the New World is a very ancient place. Dating back to the Anasazi or "Ancient Ones". Beautiful state she is.
For the most thorough & important writings on the Celts I strongly urge everyone read “Not In His Image”, (the 15 year anniversary edition) by John Lamb Lash.
Compelling title. Not In whos image? I hope its not the christian image, i am ok with being negative towards... hm the turks lets say.. he he ehm. Yes. I think the title is very compelling indeed. It makes me think of smthn like the Image that the celts hated, the roman image ,
@@Itsyrm8 The title refers to the deity of the Abrahamic religions. Please get a copy of the 15yr Anniversary Edition of the book and read it as soon as possible. It’s a large and heavy read but it essentially gives the Celtic Races our entire civilisation and culture back. Totally life-changing in the best possible way

They weren't conquered, the Iceni submitted to the Romans without fighting, like the Dumnonii and others. They were granted some sort of client kingdom status which lasted until the governor tried squeezing more tax revenue by recalling loans and sending in troops to seize property and goods for non-payment. The Romans had an early belt and road scheme.
Not to mention tgere was no such thing as celtic culture. Celtic peoples are an ethnic group. They had many different languages, religions. And cultures.
@@Sgt.chickens He didn't say they were the first in Britain. He gave you the most recent information available from historians and archaeologists, concerning the origins of the Celts. Try not to be so dismissive and entitled.
I always find how the so-called "Barbarians" of the past had more equality before "civilized society" came and said what was right and what was wrong. 🙃📚📚
"Chinese porcelain and silks found on Greek and Celtic noble and upperclass graves"? Which means that Europe has already been connected to China and vice versa? Interesting!
I read many moons ago. That the Celtic children, around 7 years old . Would leave there parents to learn fighting, farming and household stuff to the women and live with the family . A temporary guardianship . Till they reach around early teenager age . Then go back home with the skills that they learned. Of course the boys would be learning to fight. If you wanted to do medical stuff, you have to join the druids. Which would have to study around 20 years. Just to aid to a interesting subject. Good job. 👍😊
Oh. Yer. The girls would learn to fight as well. And it was the women guardians who taught them as well. I had to put that in ,as Celtics had a better male and female equality then the Romans and Greeks. 👍😊
The Irish still have a program like that where they can go live with a family that speaks the Celtic or Irish or Gaelic. language and I think maybe how the Irish traditions are and how they live or lived So the Irish culture and language doesn’t die out which would be a great great loss to Ireland and the world
@@jillthompson1248 That also sort of happened through the Irish diaspora . Catholic schools in England although they did not teach the old language to the children , taught them almost everything else.
I am not sure about that i must dig deeper : Some Historians said that the Celts came from Syria and Anatolia before the Arrival of Semitic Tribes to Syria .But i must dig deeper to be certain because History is a matter of integrity and honesty.Respect to Celts ,picts and Germanic Nations.
6 million of us died, very sad. I'm going to make a movie now so everyone knows how sad it was and I will keep pumping the movies out every now and then so people never forget how sad it was. Much sad, 6 million gauls fled from the Romans to settle in the center of Europe and all of them died. Much sad.
I think you got it wrong with celtic origins in Europe dating back to the melting of the ice sheet. Liguists have already proven that celtic laguages are a part of Indo-European language family. The Indo-European people migrated into Europe from the Eurasian steppes in waves, celtic people being one of the first waves, They weren`t hunter-gatherers, they didn`t need to be becasue they have domesticated horses which were the source of their success. Not only they used them for transport but also as a source of meat and dairy products. It`s no secret that such diet allows humans to get bigger and more muscular, thus making them tougher warriors. The people who inhabited Europe since the ice melted and who were wiped out by Indo-Europeans represented some other, older cultures. A good example are the Basques whose language has nothing in common with Indo-European languages like romance, germanic or slavic languages
Actually some populations would abandon nomadic life pretty early and start settling in permanent villages by turning initially to hunter-gathers' typical habits, then develop some level of agriculture and farming. Though their nomadic origins remained.. they were in fact formidable horsemen. The real development of agriculture came with the contact with the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans, who were obviously far more used to advanced agricoltura techniques. The thing about the diet is very debatable...many think that a tougher climate also contributes to growth in height.. we now think there was a huge difference but actually there was a gap of a few centimeters generally and they were not much better warriors than Greeks and Romans. by admission of some Germanic chiefs from the Suebii tribe, the Roman legionaries were "Invicti", or invincible. But yh, your observation about the languages is very interesting and accurate.. fascinating isn't it?
@@TheHardCore89 Indeed it is :) As far as tougher climate influencing the size of humans - I`ve read somewhere about some medival sources claiming Vikings were a bit bigger boys than your average English or French. This could be one of the elements of their success in their military excursions. And as far as I know, modern Swedes, Danes and Norwegians (of course I`m talking about people of rather pure scandinavian blood, not immigrants from the Middle East and Africa, hope I don`t sound racist ;) are quite tall, on average definetly taller than people from southern Europe.
@@donpedro8461 can’t see any racism in analysis bruh xD… but yh, it makes sense that a tougher climate stimulates muscle growth.. I don’t know about hormones, but still.. I think I came across something about it recently.. I’ll post it to you here if I find it and consider it relevant to this issue. May peace be with you
Unfortunately our corrupt government is importing 10s of thousands of young Muslim men. This is going to ruin our culture unless we put a stop to it now.
The Romans had a huge PR operation to dehumanise the Celts as they persecuted them. The wicker man and human sacrifice were untrue. Also 'Stonehenge' was not a 'base model for Celtic circles. There are far older ones than that in Ireland.
There were lots of different peoples who defied Rome over the Centuries….from Arabs to Sudanese to Germanic to Britons and even the Huns from the steppes (huns) …
Boudicca's husband, King Prastugas, did not die fighting Rome. He made a treaty with the Romans and died of natural causes. Boudicca launched her revolt after Roman officials came to claim half of the dead king's property and showed her and her daughters utter disrespect.
The celts were beaten the same way the American Indians were. They were separate small bands fighting a concentrated large force. If they had banded together sooner they would have won, but they didn’t
The Celts in Ireland and Scotland were not beaten . In fact they were the catalyst for the destruction of the Roman Empire The Native Americans. Are still proud people . Sitting Bull of the Lakota people said " they took our land but they cannot take our spirit." How true. So from The Inuit of Alaska . To the Southern Incas of Chile. And all in between still despite it all have great pride in their cultures.
@@spmoran4703The catalyst for the destruction of the Roman Empire was the Romans themselves. The Germanic tribes would play the most in the beginning of its destructipn rather than the celts
They even avoided wars with duels one Roman dueled a Celt and took his torc there is a name for is but after that Rome didn't let any Romans duel a celt
On the other hand, another chapter of Celtic history always forgotten is the assimilation of the Celtics tribes of northern Italy (at the time know as "Galia Cisalpina") into the Roman culture, which contrary to what happened in modern day France, was a peaceful process. So the Romans that took part in the conquest of Galia, already included in their society many people who were until 2/3 centuries before Celts.
@@rustyshackleford4761 Yes, but that area was also full of Roman colonies so the men would have included a lot of men of Roman stock. It was conquered around 130 years before Caesar became governor.
@@rustyshackleford4761 That's correct.. actually some north western populations which had recently stipulated an alliance with the Roman Republic, called for Roman protection, hence Caesar's mission to prevent an Helvetian invasion, which turned into the Gaelic campaign..
The Romans also raised several legions from Spain, and the Celts were the ancestors to the Spanish, infact many legions over many wars and emperors were raised there, so you could say that racially Celtic Roman soldiers problably fought tribal Celts all over Europe at multiple times in the Empires history. Chainmail and the Roman infantry helmets are belived to be Celtic in origin.@@rustyshackleford4761
Not exactly the same population, but the Iberic tribes were also very respected. In fact the gladius that Romans used for most part of their late Republican\Early Imperial military campaigns was called Gladius Hispaniensis... The generic design and function was basically the same as some Iberian-pre Carthaginian tribes
Welsh and Cornish culture and language actually is pre-celtic Its considered celtoc today but celtic is a later invention it didnt really have any meaning back then. They certainly didnt see themselves as one culture and didnt all speak tge same languages. Tge oldeest surviving Britonic peoples are the welsh and cornish
8:19 According to most evidence, this was usually used as the most extensive. We have tried everything else to appease the gods to get rid of either this or that, typically, it was to do with famine or a invasion that they did not think they could win. But most of the time, they were volunteers, not so much that they were captives, and the main reason for that is because there was no evidence on any of the bodies that have been found through these rituals or have signs of these rituals happening. Having any kind of Restraints. An example of this is the bug bodies. Yes, they are typically found with strangulation marks. But they are also found that they are full of basically drugs. That's my way you put it. But they are also filled with very rich food. That would typically take a very long time to process as well. As many of them are either people who are very young or very old. And it's mostly sacrifice in the future for the present. For an example, if you were about to be invaded, you would see who among you would be willing. Not only that, you would also see who would have the best chance to be a good sacrifice? A way that 1 of these documentaries explained it was. You have an old man, a young girl and a pregnant woman. The best sacrifice depending on what you are doing would be the pregnant woman. Because you are sacrificing 2 lives for one and a future at that. There were a ton of documentaries about it and it's absolutely fascinating morbidly fascinating but fascinating nonetheless.
The conclusion of this video is completely incorrect. The Celtic way of life continued throughout the British Isles until the Roman invasion of southern Britain. It continued untouched in Scotland, Man and Ireland after the Roman province of Britannia was established in what is now England and re-established in Wales and Kernow after the Romans left. We're still here with our customs, our rag-trees, our tartans and our language, even if the the world is unaware of how deep the blood still runs in some places. Saor Alba gu bràth.
It was built 1000 years before Celts are thought to have existed. Some of the builders may have been ancestors of the Celts but they were from a different culture.
How typic that Wales would be left out, aren’t they always. People think Celt, they say Ireland, people say Brit, they think England. Even though, the term Celt was coined by A Welshman (Brit) and the term Brit comes from the Roman name for the people the English call Welsh. Why does this constantly happen to those of Wales. It’s almost as if they need to be written out of history.
Don’t worry Cornwall was too lol.. We are so used to it though! 😆 I actually watched a three part documentary about celts last year, they covered all the celts at length over the three episodes of an hour each, all except Cornwall that had a five minute mention, I kid you not.. five minutes just before the end of the last episode. 😀
Ps the irony is a dna study was done a couple of years ago that showed that the Cornish and Welsh were the oldest and purest Britons, and yet each of us both seem to be written out of documentaries on celts often! 😂
I have a friend from Italy from the northern part. she's very proud to trace her genealogy back to barbarian warriors. she said the Romans where the start of slavery worldwide remember all of Israel was enslaved when Jesus was a baby. King Herod was a puppet to the Roman empire
They were definitely a group of people the name comes from the old words for oak and seer they played the role of judges most the time and had a higher place in society then chiefs they could stop clans from going to war is they said not to the only thing your right about is the Trinity there was groups of three druids each one focusing on a different group of knowledge so that one Trinity could reteach the world

Germans developed during the Nordic Bronze Age, a similar culture to the Celts but not the same. The Nordic Bronze Age was centred on Scandinavia and the culture is thought to be a fusion of Indo-Europeans and the native Nordic hunter-gatherers. Unlike in much of elsewhere the Indo-Europeans didn't displace the native male lineages and today the hunter-gatherer lineages in Scandinavia are dominant. It's probably this native European culture which is responsible for Germanic languages having many words that don't have Indo-European origins, the word silver for instance. The classic blue eyed blond, rather than being Aryan (Indo-European) is more likely native European or at least present in Europe long before the Indo-Europeans showed up.
Actually, after several dna tests, the vast majority of irish people today, descend from celt-iberian tribes that migrated to Ireland and not from Britain celts.
LIGURI Pre-Indoeuropean population, Not Celtic, they lived in an area between Liguria, upper Tuscany, Northern Italy, the French coast, Corsica coast, Maritime Alp and the Spanish coast. Symbol of the hyperborean swan.

The Zozobra was started in 1924 by artist William Schuster Jr. New Mexico for the New World is a very ancient place. Dating back to the Anasazi or "Ancient Ones". Beautiful state she is.

For the most thorough & important writings on the Celts I strongly urge everyone read “Not In His Image”, (the 15 year anniversary edition) by John Lamb Lash.
Compelling title. Not In whos image? I hope its not the christian image, i am ok with being negative towards... hm the turks lets say.. he he ehm. Yes.
I think the title is very compelling indeed. It makes me think of smthn like the Image that the celts hated, the roman image ,
@@Itsyrm8 The title refers to the deity of the Abrahamic religions. Please get a copy of the 15yr Anniversary Edition of the book and read it as soon as possible. It’s a large and heavy read but it essentially gives the Celtic Races our entire civilisation and culture back. Totally life-changing in the best possible way

Boudica's husband King Prasutagus wasn't killed in battle against the Romans.
The Iceni had already been conquered when he died.
They weren't conquered, the Iceni submitted to the Romans without fighting, like the Dumnonii and others. They were granted some sort of client kingdom status which lasted until the governor tried squeezing more tax revenue by recalling loans and sending in troops to seize property and goods for non-payment. The Romans had an early belt and road scheme.
South of the Netherlands was also part of the Belgae Celts their territory
Obi-Caesar: it’s over Celtikan I have the high ground.
Celtikan: You underestimate my power!!!
Thank You ❤️
Celtic Culture developed in Britain and Armorica and Ireland around 2500 bce. It dominated all of Europe around 900 bce.
Celts are not even close to the first people if britain im not sure where you get this idea.
Not to mention tgere was no such thing as celtic culture.
Celtic peoples are an ethnic group. They had many different languages, religions. And cultures.
@@Sgt.chickens He didn't say they were the first in Britain. He gave you the most recent information available from historians and archaeologists, concerning the origins of the Celts. Try not to be so dismissive and entitled.

I always find how the so-called "Barbarians" of the past had more equality before "civilized society" came and said what was right and what was wrong. 🙃📚📚
Things that are wrong are just becoming acceptable again it’s the end times
HAHAHAH yeah not at all.. you should be extremely grateful for living in the era we are living in now and how many rights you actually have
Barbarian just means not Roman.
Modern man is the barbarian. No matter how "advanced" we think we are.
@@benberry6243 no that means they're savages, wild people it's an insult
Awesome and cool! :D
Now is the winter of my discontent.
"Chinese porcelain and silks found on Greek and Celtic noble and upperclass graves"? Which means that Europe has already been connected to China and vice versa? Interesting!
Sure, from about 130 BCE. Remember the greeks had cities and kindoms in central Asia after the conquest of Alexander.
They travelled and traded as did the Norse .
The phonecians appear to have even sailed all the way from modern day lebanon to Cornwall for Tin trading
Does anyone know anything of the music playing in the background? I would love to listen to it separately.
I read many moons ago. That the Celtic children, around 7 years old . Would leave there parents to learn fighting, farming and household stuff to the women and live with the family . A temporary guardianship . Till they reach around early teenager age . Then go back home with the skills that they learned. Of course the boys would be learning to fight. If you wanted to do medical stuff, you have to join the druids. Which would have to study around 20 years. Just to aid to a interesting subject. Good job. 👍😊
Oh. Yer. The girls would learn to fight as well. And it was the women guardians who taught them as well. I had to put that in ,as Celtics had a better male and female equality then the Romans and Greeks. 👍😊
God I wish that were me
The Irish still have a program like that where they can go live with a family that speaks the Celtic or Irish or Gaelic. language and I think maybe how the Irish traditions are and how they live or lived So the Irish culture and language doesn’t die out which would be a great great loss to Ireland and the world
@@petertyson4022 Yes , Celtic women fought . Boudicca being a good example and are archeologists keep on finding remains of Celtic warrior women.
@@jillthompson1248 That also sort of happened through the Irish diaspora . Catholic schools in England although they did not teach the old language to the children , taught them almost everything else.
That was good watchin…
I am not sure about that i must dig deeper : Some Historians said that the Celts came from Syria and Anatolia before the Arrival of Semitic Tribes to Syria .But i must dig deeper to be certain because History is a matter of integrity and honesty.Respect to Celts ,picts and Germanic Nations.
They are ilyrian tribes!! Where Croatian- Albanian today
I heard that theory too
Druids, were also said to have antlers attached to their hoods.
That sounds a bit too hollywoodish.
Never heard that and I've seen druid interviews but many god are shown with horns so I could believe
We must talk about the celts Holocaust .Romans killed all Gauls and this is very sad.
6 million of us died, very sad. I'm going to make a movie now so everyone knows how sad it was and I will keep pumping the movies out every now and then so people never forget how sad it was. Much sad, 6 million gauls fled from the Romans to settle in the center of Europe and all of them died. Much sad.
Rome was built on celtic technology and culture.
True
I didn't know that the Etruscans,Latins, Samnites,Volscians and Tarquins were celtic. ( it was their customs the Romans adopted).
Proud of my Celtic roots on my mothers side
It’s not just England and Scotland, it’s also WALES! Please get these historical facts correct!
I think you got it wrong with celtic origins in Europe dating back to the melting of the ice sheet. Liguists have already proven that celtic laguages are a part of Indo-European language family. The Indo-European people migrated into Europe from the Eurasian steppes in waves, celtic people being one of the first waves, They weren`t hunter-gatherers, they didn`t need to be becasue they have domesticated horses which were the source of their success. Not only they used them for transport but also as a source of meat and dairy products. It`s no secret that such diet allows humans to get bigger and more muscular, thus making them tougher warriors. The people who inhabited Europe since the ice melted and who were wiped out by Indo-Europeans represented some other, older cultures. A good example are the Basques whose language has nothing in common with Indo-European languages like romance, germanic or slavic languages
Actually some populations would abandon nomadic life pretty early and start settling in permanent villages by turning initially to hunter-gathers' typical habits, then develop some level of agriculture and farming. Though their nomadic origins remained.. they were in fact formidable horsemen. The real development of agriculture came with the contact with the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans, who were obviously far more used to advanced agricoltura techniques. The thing about the diet is very debatable...many think that a tougher climate also contributes to growth in height.. we now think there was a huge difference but actually there was a gap of a few centimeters generally and they were not much better warriors than Greeks and Romans.
by admission of some Germanic chiefs from the Suebii tribe, the Roman legionaries were "Invicti", or invincible. But yh, your observation about the languages is very interesting and accurate.. fascinating isn't it?
@@TheHardCore89 Indeed it is :) As far as tougher climate influencing the size of humans - I`ve read somewhere about some medival sources claiming Vikings were a bit bigger boys than your average English or French. This could be one of the elements of their success in their military excursions. And as far as I know, modern Swedes, Danes and Norwegians (of course I`m talking about people of rather pure scandinavian blood, not immigrants from the Middle East and Africa, hope I don`t sound racist ;) are quite tall, on average definetly taller than people from southern Europe.
@@donpedro8461 can’t see any racism in analysis bruh xD… but yh, it makes sense that a tougher climate stimulates muscle growth.. I don’t know about hormones, but still.. I think I came across something about it recently.. I’ll post it to you here if I find it and consider it relevant to this issue. May peace be with you
A proud people of Ireland live and strong
Unfortunately our corrupt government is importing 10s of thousands of young Muslim men. This is going to ruin our culture unless we put a stop to it now.
Up until the flight of earls anyway.
Sorry bro I'm mostly Scottish with Irish roots
@@justinchadwick1034 Scots are Celts too.
@@spmoran4703 no they’re mostly Germanic
Do you have a video on The Slavs?
The Romans had a huge PR operation to dehumanise the Celts as they persecuted them. The wicker man and human sacrifice were untrue.
Also 'Stonehenge' was not a 'base model for Celtic circles. There are far older ones than that in Ireland.
What an awesome thumbnail
There were lots of different peoples who defied Rome over the Centuries….from Arabs to Sudanese to Germanic to Britons and even the Huns from the steppes (huns) …
Was so amazed to know that ancient chinese fabrics reach in northern part of europe at that time.
There was trade . Norse and Celts knew about The East.
Part of my family's name translates to "silky" in either Irish or Scottish, referring to our familys hair I assume
Nice art
Boudicca's husband, King Prastugas, did not die fighting Rome. He made a treaty with the Romans and died of natural causes. Boudicca launched her revolt after Roman officials came to claim half of the dead king's property and showed her and her daughters utter disrespect.
The celts were beaten the same way the American Indians were. They were separate small bands fighting a concentrated large force. If they had banded together sooner they would have won, but they didn’t
Naaa. 1 for 1, the celts were outmatched in equipment and organization. Just like 1 for 1, a european would just shoot a native american dead.
The Celts in Ireland and Scotland were not beaten . In fact they were the catalyst for the destruction of the Roman Empire
The Native Americans. Are still proud people . Sitting Bull of the Lakota people said " they took our land but they cannot take our spirit." How true. So from The Inuit of Alaska . To the Southern Incas of Chile. And all in between still despite it all have great pride in their cultures.
@@spmoran4703The catalyst for the destruction of the Roman Empire was the Romans themselves.
The Germanic tribes would play the most in the beginning of its destructipn rather than the celts
One-on-one, the Celts were among the greatest fighters on earth. They did not see war as a stategic endeavor. This was their downfall.
Exactly, they seen war more as a honorable duel. Their pride hurt them
They even avoided wars with duels one Roman dueled a Celt and took his torc there is a name for is but after that Rome didn't let any Romans duel a celt
Omfg finally a long video
On the other hand, another chapter of Celtic history always forgotten is the assimilation of the Celtics tribes of northern Italy (at the time know as "Galia Cisalpina") into the Roman culture, which contrary to what happened in modern day France, was a peaceful process.
So the Romans that took part in the conquest of Galia, already included in their society many people who were until 2/3 centuries before Celts.
Didn’t Caesar raise multiple legions specifically from that area to invade Gaul?
@@rustyshackleford4761 Yes, but that area was also full of Roman colonies so the men would have included a lot of men of Roman stock. It was conquered around 130 years before Caesar became governor.
@@rustyshackleford4761 That's correct.. actually some north western populations which had recently stipulated an alliance with the Roman Republic, called for Roman protection, hence Caesar's mission to prevent an Helvetian invasion, which turned into the Gaelic campaign..
The Romans also raised several legions from Spain, and the Celts were the ancestors to the Spanish, infact many legions over many wars and emperors were raised there, so you could say that racially Celtic Roman soldiers problably fought tribal Celts all over Europe at multiple times in the Empires history. Chainmail and the Roman infantry helmets are belived to be Celtic in origin.@@rustyshackleford4761
And then there was Asterix

I think there are ancient Celtic ruins in Spain too 🤔
Galicia in northwestern Spain.. They play bagpipes there too.

so celts are the one's we get flannel shirts from
It's called tartan
4:02 Article reference?
How about the Celts in Spain
Not exactly the same population, but the Iberic tribes were also very respected. In fact the gladius that Romans used for most part of their late Republican\Early Imperial military campaigns was called Gladius Hispaniensis... The generic design and function was basically the same as some Iberian-pre Carthaginian tribes
Think u did one on best Roman generals 😮how about one of romes best enemies? 😅
Absolutely BARBARIC
Forgot to mention Wales
Celts
The Celt writing is pronounced "oh-yam". And, the Druid's boline (sickle) was never iron.
Everyone knows Ogham made the Ogham language when he told lugh to protect his wife with Birch trees that's why Birch is the first word

They are the Welsh .
Welsh and Cornish culture and language actually is pre-celtic
Its considered celtoc today but celtic is a later invention it didnt really have any meaning back then. They certainly didnt see themselves as one culture and didnt all speak tge same languages.
Tge oldeest surviving Britonic peoples are the welsh and cornish
What about the Scott’s or did this not fit in with your narrative
Glossed over soo much…
It is a 21 min video my guy.
8:19 According to most evidence, this was usually used as the most extensive. We have tried everything else to appease the gods to get rid of either this or that, typically, it was to do with famine or a invasion that they did not think they could win.
But most of the time, they were volunteers, not so much that they were captives, and the main reason for that is because there was no evidence on any of the bodies that have been found through these rituals or have signs of these rituals happening. Having any kind of Restraints.
An example of this is the bug bodies. Yes, they are typically found with strangulation marks. But they are also found that they are full of basically drugs. That's my way you put it. But they are also filled with very rich food. That would typically take a very long time to process as well. As many of them are either people who are very young or very old.
And it's mostly sacrifice in the future for the present.
For an example, if you were about to be invaded, you would see who among you would be willing. Not only that, you would also see who would have the best chance to be a good sacrifice?
A way that 1 of these documentaries explained it was. You have an old man, a young girl and a pregnant woman. The best sacrifice depending on what you are doing would be the pregnant woman. Because you are sacrificing 2 lives for one and a future at that.
There were a ton of documentaries about it and it's absolutely fascinating morbidly fascinating but fascinating nonetheless.
The conclusion of this video is completely incorrect. The Celtic way of life continued throughout the British Isles until the Roman invasion of southern Britain. It continued untouched in Scotland, Man and Ireland after the Roman province of Britannia was established in what is now England and re-established in Wales and Kernow after the Romans left. We're still here with our customs, our rag-trees, our tartans and our language, even if the the world is unaware of how deep the blood still runs in some places. Saor Alba gu bràth.
When did you start learning Scottish Gaelic?
Can you do a video about Philippine Tribal peoples?
Scotland until 850 AD use to call Albania- Alba today
4:01, unlike vikings who didn't wear helmets with horns on them in battle
I'm disappointed and how much pertinent information you either left out or got wrong
Did the Celts build the most famous Stonehenge? The one in England I mean
It was built 1000 years before Celts are thought to have existed. Some of the builders may have been ancestors of the Celts but they were from a different culture.
@@damionkeeling3103 It was built by Neoliths and Neoliths are identified as Celts..
It was build by the Neolithic people but the tops were put on by the beecker people
You mention Irish and Scottish celts but literally leave out the Welsh 🤣
Wales was considered part of Great Britain. It seems to happen alot to Wales being affiliated with England
Celts weren't even only located in the UK. It's just the UK mostly only has this ancestral connection (and Germanic) so they kinda gate keep it.
@@stone0234 the Irish are the only true celts
@@azdesertrat7414didn’t Wales used to be a lot bigger? I saw a map a while ago which looked like Wales included the North West of England
I am Celtic... We didn't die off.
We are very much here and quite alive.....
Some times I wonder why I even watch these videos about 80% of them just say the same stuff and leave a lot out and a lot is wrong
How typic that Wales would be left out, aren’t they always. People think Celt, they say Ireland, people say Brit, they think England. Even though, the term Celt was coined by A Welshman (Brit) and the term Brit comes from the Roman name for the people the English call Welsh. Why does this constantly happen to those of Wales. It’s almost as if they need to be written out of history.
Don’t worry Cornwall was too lol.. We are so used to it though! 😆
I actually watched a three part documentary about celts last year, they covered all the celts at length over the three episodes of an hour each, all except Cornwall that had a five minute mention, I kid you not.. five minutes just before the end of the last episode. 😀
Ps the irony is a dna study was done a couple of years ago that showed that the Cornish and Welsh were the oldest and purest Britons, and yet each of us both seem to be written out of documentaries on celts often! 😂
What about the Welsh!
They are Celts
@@spmoran4703 Yes, but they got no mention!
I have a friend from Italy from the northern part. she's very proud to trace her genealogy back to barbarian warriors. she said the Romans where the start of slavery worldwide remember all of Israel was enslaved when Jesus was a baby. King Herod was a puppet to the Roman empire
In Northern Italy a town called Montellano hold a Celtic festival .
Actually the greeks, Egyptians, summerians, Persians had slaves long before Rome did. Israel was enslaved by there kings and biships before Rome came.
Wow, the Celts were based asf and wayyyyy cooler than the Romans. Another example of empire writing history that suits itself
Druid means a person taking on a spirit in the actual act. It is not a catergorization of people or person.
No
Well yeah, and there is a trinity, always 3, to them as One Whole. Oaks..
They were definitely a group of people the name comes from the old words for oak and seer they played the role of judges most the time and had a higher place in society then chiefs they could stop clans from going to war is they said not to the only thing your right about is the Trinity there was groups of three druids each one focusing on a different group of knowledge so that one Trinity could reteach the world

Ogham is from Ireland.
Celts of Europe and Scotland are the forerunners of the Germanic tribes is that correct?
Germans developed during the Nordic Bronze Age, a similar culture to the Celts but not the same. The Nordic Bronze Age was centred on Scandinavia and the culture is thought to be a fusion of Indo-Europeans and the native Nordic hunter-gatherers. Unlike in much of elsewhere the Indo-Europeans didn't displace the native male lineages and today the hunter-gatherer lineages in Scandinavia are dominant. It's probably this native European culture which is responsible for Germanic languages having many words that don't have Indo-European origins, the word silver for instance.
The classic blue eyed blond, rather than being Aryan (Indo-European) is more likely native European or at least present in Europe long before the Indo-Europeans showed up.
So the celts wore "pants."
We survived the Romans in Britain until the saxons came from Germany and pushed us back to Cornwall,Wales, Scotland,Ireland and Brittany
I'm modern French and I still identity as Gaulish Celt. It's not just an Irish and Scottish thing fyi .
@@stevethecross2727 so do the portuguese. We also still identify with the Lusitanien celt tribe.
Actually, after several dna tests, the vast majority of irish people today, descend from celt-iberian tribes that migrated to Ireland and not from Britain celts.
You didn't survive the Romans, you became Romans.. there's a slight difference there...
