      Galicians have the highest percentage of northern african blood in the iberian peninsula due to many escaping north and westward in Reconquista. The western part of castille and leon and Galicia is an example of it. There is Celtic origin, no doubt .. but not the only one ..

    Book of Invasions (Lebor Gabála), written by Irish monks in the 11th century. According to the legend, King Breogán (who is mentioned in the Galician national anthem as Galicia’s founder) founded a city and built a huge tower on the coast. On a clear night, one of his sons, Ith, could see a distant green land from the top of the tower and decided to sail north to explore that unknown land. This green land was Ireland that they landed on, resulting in the final wave of "Celtic" culture to the Island. Irish - Galician stare cultural connections as well as Irish connections to other peoples of northern Spain, in fact this runs deep, even on a genetic level. So maybe there is some truth to the Irish Milesian and Galician Story. "Celtic Brothers" I guess.

      The Celtic peoples inhabited the entire continent once upon a time. Eventually pushed west by the Germanic tribes who came from the north and either romanised or absorbed into other cultures through time. The region their people inhabited even stretched as far as Ukraine and Anatolia. And of course GB and Ireland.

    The etymology of Leiden at 10:59 is wrong. If Celtic *lug- were (part of) the etymology, we would expect the modern place name to be 'Luiden'. Leiden is often being referred to as Lugdunum Batavorum, but that is a folk etymology, not its actual etymology. Instead, it probably descends from Proto-Germanic *līþa- 'canal' or *laguz 'water'.
    Maybe you want to correct this, as it is a mistake that is often made but has been disproven at many occasions by historical linguists.

Lugo means "god man" in spanish language and is the same deity as "Lugh" in gaulish "celtic" language from central Europe. So Lugo in ancient times was originally a town in Galicia dedicated for the gaulish "celtic" god "Lugh" which is the same "Lugo" of the gaulish "celtic" people of Galicia and Portugal. I don't like call them "celts" because they didn't called themselves that way. They call themselves by the names of GAL, Gael, Galos, Galegos, Gaul, Galek, Anglos (an-galos), etc.

A kingdom created by gaulish people who migrated from iron age central Europe (Bohemia, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, South Germany) to northwest Iberia, France and British isles.
      The roman empire and the vatican divided the gaulish tribes in Iberia and they are responsible of why people don't talk galician language in Portugal, Asturias and Leon provinces. The reason why people from Galicia feels so comfortable and like the same race with their neighbors from mid and northern Portugal, Asturias and Leon provinces is because they are the same gaulish tribe of people.
      Also the gaulish tribes in Europe never called themselves "Celts", they called themselves: GAL, Gauls, Galek, Galegos, Gaels and Anglos in Great Britain (An-Galos: the prefix "an" meaning "Gallic men" or "Gauls from god or from heaven", because prefix "an" can be traduced heaven, god or man), and so on

      @@anthonyoer4778 Bohemian is the Medieval word for Czech (roughly) as many Germans lived there too. Originally a Celtic tribe called the Boii gave the region its name Boiohaemum. They were removed eventually by the Germ Marcomanni tribe. During the great migration period, slavs settled. They formed states such as great Moravia and the Premyslid dynasty (first considered as Czech) ruled the land for hundreds of years independently and under the HRE. Modern Czech DNA is roughly 37% Slav and 25% W European (Germanic). I would post the source but it deleted my comment :( it's easy to find out tho it seems something like 90% of Czechs had a DNA study at some point!

They were independent tribes but belong to the same ethnic group and called themselves with the root word of "GAL". Varying their name depending on the places in which they settled for example in Gaul (France) they called themselves "Gauls", in PortuGAL + GALicia + Asturias and Leon (in Iberia) they called themselves "Galos or Galegos", in England they called themselves "Anglos" (An-Galos), in Ireland and Scotland they called themselves "Gaels" and so on...

    Lugo effectively is cognate with the gaulish "celtic" word "Lugh", which is a so called "celtic" god of craftmanship, war and knowledge. Lugh or Lugo is equivalent to Odin in norse religion, Hermes in Roman religion and even "Jaungoiko" in Basque folklore. So the Lugo of Portugal, Galicia, Asturias and Leon (which once were a united kingdom before roman invasion and conquest) is the same Lugh of the gaulish "celtic" tribes of central Europe.
    And this is because gaulish "celtic" peoples of Portugal and Galicia comes from the same gaulish tribes of central Europe. Even today exists the name "Galitzie" for a "kingdom" that existed in central Europe (Bohemia, Austria and Hungary) prior to the "new world era", at least the official corrupt academy recognises that.
    Gaulish elite rich tribes colonized Britain and northwest Iberia in the iron age introducing their GENES, material culture, religion and languages. Later on internal migrations on iberian peninsula, mixing with local populations (bell beaker natives), war against other tribes and MENA empires, religious conversions and erasing and rewriting of history in Iberia caused gaulish DNA becoming more dilute over time. But there are still gaulish DNA from iron age central Europe in northern Portugal and Galicia.
    Waves of Galitzie or Gaulish elite people (wrongly called "celts") from central Europe entered Britain and northwest Iberia via land from ancient Gaul (France). But also they entered those regions via maritime routes too, specially in west and north parts of Iberia. In northern Italy (northern Italy originally were ruled by gaulish "celts") in Genoa city are still some old ships in the old harbour that clearly resemble the stylish of the Gaulish "celtic" ships and navy fleets. Even there is a ship called "GALleon" that resembles very well the type and design of Portuguese and British shipbuilding
    Thats because those ships (GALeon) were built by the descendants of the same common ancestor and race of people that colonized Britain and (PortuGAL + GALicia + Asturias + Leon, all once were one kingdom named GALitzia with capital in actual Porto city, PortuGAL) in the iron age. And that is the reason why the two major naval powers in the west world were Portugal and Britain. Both with similiar but not identical naval culture, estructural design and procedures.
    I think probably there was a connection between gaulish Iberia and gaulish Britain because both had navy fleets in a certain moment in time and i am convinced that they established political and comercial relations in the region in some way. (i'm talking way long before the "new world era" from 500 BCE to 1400 CE). I also think that much of the alleged forts and ports constructed around the world by the portuguese and english of the "new world era" are wrong dated and predates that era by some centuries. Probably we have this errors in dates because there are still historic gaps to find and premeditation to hide this facts by the people who control the global narrative.
    Some historians argue that "celtic" tribes entered Iberian peninsula without leaving DNA but for me this is almost imposible. Just think how absurd is that a major naval power in his time with a culture of naval fleets like Portugal and Galicia don't have DNA from the culture who created all that advancements, technology and culture, is completely absurd

    the celticity in Galicia is pretty *exagerated* and even some traditions are forged like Samaín. the Celtics were present? yes, but we don't know the *extent.* Judging that only less half of tribes had suggested celtic names and overwhelming majority of the deities were pretty native, similar to Lusitanians, i suspect it was pretty a mosaic of anindoeuropeans, native GAllaecians and Celtic. Curchin calculated 40% Celtic topography, on pair with native 40% IE. Sims-Williams says Iberia, except celtiberia, lacks variety and chronological depth in celtic topography, on contrary to Galia and Britain.
    -AIKOS in CALAICOS is pretty native, similar to Lusitanian language, a language in their own league, but with some afinnities to P-Italic languages. For other side, Pomponius Mela, a celtiberian himself said Celtic people inhabitated all Galicia coast ,except from Minho river to Grovium bend (Pontevedra, i guess) and until the Asturian coast, whose territory was pretty native. in populations (Ástures weren't celtic). They settled as well along the main rivers of North Portugal.
    Galicia and Portugal overlaps a lot with Bronze Illyria and Hungary, from which i believe their native language and matrix of ethnicity was born, according to Ancient DNA algorithms, including Brazilians (me included).
    The *Roman* presence left a great impact (Olalde, 2019), with until 20% (and 17%) in average in Galicia and Portugal. SOme populations in Portugal and Andaluzia has even more. source: Bycroft 2018 // According to the most complete estudy until now, Iberians have an inflection to Italy, being an intermediary between Iron Age and Italy, with a bit of bending to North Africa (admixture calculated within 860-1120 DC - Bycroft -).
    source: Olalde, 2019 - DNA in the lat 8000 years - hundreds of old samples.
    the majority of Spaniards overlaps with 3 ancestry (Native; 35% Greco-Roman + N. Africa); forerunner: 3/4 Native-1/4 Roman (majority) ; and some people with significant North African (Berbers) and North African with bits of Levantine ancestry (Arab-Moroccans and Syrian-Moroccans)
