Celtic art is unique, but I get a bit pissed off, that Celts are always painted as barbarians, they were much more then that, I'm proud of my ancestors!
Good for you, I totally agree, the Celts had so many amazing skills and resources, I get so fed up of the documentary makers constantly, referring to them as uncivilised barbarians.
one of the best documentaries ive seen...The ancient Celts obviously believed in the afterlife and they also had an amazing sense of humor which is reflected in their coinage and artwork in general.......I think they had a great distaste for the city life and preferred their rustic remote rural life over the so called civilized world of the romans and greeks.....These qualities and beliefs made them physically and spiritually stronger and thus not easily dominated by other cultures....
went to ireland on a holiday always thought the irish were small like leprechauns this is a fallacy they are large and loud great singers,i recommend it as a holiday destination
My first encounter with Celts in literature was the Asterix comic books ;) A little village of indomitable Gauls holding out against the Romans by means of a magic potion giving them superhuman strength...
Military organization counted for a lot more in the hands of Julius Caesar than greatness of stature. Caesar recounts that his Roman soldiers were particularly frightened of the great height of the Germanics who were probably a bit taller than the Celts.
Hi Hogwash - I do appreciate your comment. I came here looking for a documentary to watch about my interests - I am reading the Mabinogion, and the more you study its texts, the deeper and wiser seem the the people who wrote it... you have only to look at the exquisite little horses on their coins to know that these were no 'barbarians'. You may have seen a recent book called The Ancient Paths, which is a fascinating exploration of just how brilliant these people were at engineering and geographical science.
SCOTS are Irish tribe Scotti who migrated. Welsh & Irish or Cymraeg/Cymri/Cimbri/Cimri as are the words we use for ourselves in different Celtic areas are known as Celts or Keltoi to others. We are Cimmerians, an Aryan tribe from the Pontic Caspian Steppe.
many armies prefer their soldiers clean shaven or bald because it gives a clean look. Since ancient times many western armies have preferred this. Thought I have seen that many eastern armies are quite the opposite. Indian and Chinese and many other Asian have preferred long hair and beards.
They were advanced. They handled metalwork incredibly good. It takes so much skills to produce on of these gold ornaments. They knew of wheel wagons and cavalry. They were furiously passionate and emotional. They didn't construct architecture like the mediterraneans. They didn't need it and wood tradition was everywhere in Europe. They were not city dwellers but more natural woodsmen. The question is about the writing, they should have realized it's value but no-one took it on. Personal glory, favor of Gods and afterlife was their values. They sacked Rome but didn't conquer it, what if the had? Vercingetorix as emperor over Europe and the mediterranean, romans as soldiers..
Despite the narrator's stupid script describing the Celts as cruel savages 'obsessed' with war (yeah right, the Romans were a peaceful lot and not the precise, warfaring machine we know), the professors interviewed try to give a more objective view. Anyway, I'm 15 minutes into it and I'm not enjoying it. For good, insightful, well informed documentaries try and find some from the BBC. There are quite a few on YT and a whole nother experience. Anyway, thanks to Blurallis for the time and trouble to upload it.
We Celtic-Portuguese also feel "insulted by this Biased-Saxon False Video/Audio". Celtics of Europe check your Ancient Greek Scriptures where "Greek-Peoples of Athens,Greece Democracy called the "Celtics-Celtici's Tardenati's of South-Portugal as Extremely Advanced-Celtics-Tardenatis of South Iberian Portugal with Great-Celtic-White-Palaces known to the "Saxons of England as the Supreme White-Celtics-Lusitanian-White-Palaces called by the United Kingdom today as 5 Stars Villas of Celtics-Lusitanians of White-South PORTUGAL-Galacia of the today South-Portugal Algarve Area which is built 5 Star White Villas known to the Saxons of England to this very Day of 2014-and beyond. Celtics are heavy writers with most Civilized Peoples with Great-Greeks Democracy of Equal-Equivalence Trade and Commerce between Celtics and Greek Peoples. These writings are written by a "Celtic High Christian Priest of Celtic Celtici and Lusitanian and Celtic-Iberian White Palaces Villas of 5 Stars Celtics of South Portugal. We, Celtics are an Extremely-Advanced and Astronomically inclined Civilized Peoples from the Greeks whom desribed us "Celtics Tardenati's of South Iberian PORTUGAL as the Most-Civilized-Peoples of the White-Happy-Celtics-Palaces-Villas known to the "British Saxon Peoples" that know that We, Celtics are a "Civilized and Advanced Archectural Peoples of Modern Celtics Peoples of White Palaces Villas 5 Stars of Southern Iberian-PORTUGAL!!!! We, Celtics have "Gold and Silver Ornaments and are the Builders of Celtics-Lusitanian Palaces of South Celtics-Tardenati South White-Palaces of 5 Stars White-Palaces of Villas of South-Iberian PORTUGAL"!!!!
Jules nicholi sorry in my "typo" Archectural=Architectural, Celtics are heavy writers, self Correcting like Albert Einstein. But , best of all, Celtics are an Astronomical following Agricultural-Clock-Precisioned-Peoples and Builders of Stone-Hendge of England in 3,000 B.C. and Builders of the Celtics-Celtici's White Palaces whom the "Saxons of England call 5 Star White Villas" of Celtics-Lusitanian South Portugal and the Celtics-City Builders of Celtics-Celtica of The Celtics-Iberian Peninsula Europe of Portugal and Spain, so this "Saxon Video/Audio best be friendly to Celtics Peoples for it was Celtics and Celtic-Culture and Astronomies that have Civilized the more Primitive-Saxons of England now trying to portray themselves as the Civilized ones. Celtics are Superior to Saxon-Lies. We will "Upload Our own Celtics Castles and White Cities of GOLD and SILVER and Platinum to those Saxon-Lies that contorts History to favor any Saxon-Lies of the True-Saxon English-Lies of the "Cities Builders of the Astronomical-Knowledged-Celtics and the Great-Celtic-Druid Astronomical-Harvests "Celtic High Priests and Our Celtics-Christianities"!!!!
I must agree death is an esoteric experience. It's a nice thought to believe that some kind of afterlife awaits us, but death is a one time experience, and that experience can't be carried back into our world. I can be pretty spiritual at times, but some days I flip to the other side of the fence. I view these kinds of questions/problems as a great source of inspiration and creativity. I just don't tolerate people preaching their religion as the only one that is correct.
No, and there are a variety of Celtic dialects and languages, more so than there are now. They may be both Indo-European, but they're still very different.
I believe they may have been highlighting the difference between voluntary human sacrifice (where the person is killed ritually by another but willingly) and forced human sacrifice (where the victim is murdered ritually). The former is very difficult to understand in modern societies.
Caesar states that the southeastern British tribes were ruled by descendants of the Belgae, explaining the fact that Belgic tribal names were found in Britain, for instance the Atrebates, and even the Menapii who were recorded in Ireland by 2ndC CE by Greco-Egyptian geographer Ptolemy as the Manapi and from whom Co. Fermanagh is possibly named, possibly even also the Isle of Man (once known as Menapia/Monavia):
The Roman soldiers, like the Greek soldiers before them, were clean shaven, which followed the example of the soldiers of Alexander the Great. All unshaven warriors were automatically called barbarians because of their beards. Barbarian simply meant bearded. Our word "barber" is derived from "barbarian" (bearded one). To this day, modern armies observe the practice of shaving the heads of enlisted men by a "barber" (one who shaves off beards).
and to be honest the vast majority of celtic human sacrifice lore comes from their enemy of enemies, julius ceaser who aparently while leading a war against them was privy to what would be the secret ceremonies of the secret druid priesthood. Most of what we know comes from very few sources, and maybe only one was not biased towards them. Caeser most certainly was. The celts where a private people to outsiders.
Interesting I think our forebears did inherit the Bard concept because I racall my parents and grandparents telling us tales of bygone times and sometimes of strange happenings which could be as a result of a person's wrongdoing and prayers would be necessary so this person could find rest
You didn't acknowledge the existence of it. You advocate it and BELIEVE that there exists in the universe an "authority" that has the right to take someone's physical life from them without just cause (the only just cause is self defence and even then the intention should not be to take life). You BELIEVE that it is your responsibility to follow unjust orders from these so-called authorities.
Alvaro Santos Of course ! The Celts were the first european civlization, so several european people are celt, but,unfortunately, they have no conscience of their roots, because of thousand-year-old roman propaganda. But it has failed to totally wipe out our resistance, and the CELTS are back ! Aï wisas Keltoï ! (we are Celts !)
Hahahahahahahahahah @ 15:31 "other writers tell us that the Celts left their homeland in search for loot, bootie and glory" & 16:02 "hoards of warriors coming down in search of land and in search of bootie"
You forgot that the Continental Celts of Eastern Europe were never conquered by Rome. In areas of modern Slovakia and Czech republic, the Celts persisted longer than in Gaul or Turkey. There were still Celts in 3rd century AD in Eastern Europe (Cives Cotini, Civitas Boiorum etc.).
There were also Celtic peoples in the Iberian Peninsula. Much more celtic than in Britain. In fact there is a peculiar culture, which is called Castro Culture, check it out.
BUREBISTA-GETO-REX.....and many others king of GETAE thats right...the first celts was living in Today Romania and they were a part or one trib of Getae....Terra Getarum
Heres one though, if the Druids and even the Celts survived the Romans in Ireland then what happened to those people? surely it wasnt all down to a couple of balding monks to remove an age old way of life.
He's on about the Mayan Calendar. The date of dec 21 isn't even a fixed one in that respect. Bolon Yokte is the underworld/cave of the Mayas where their gods live. But since he's bringing up Celts, Native Americans and African I suspect he's just another new age freak.
Na my family was inspired by ancient Assyrians, we like to use Human skin like wallpapers and spread the organs/ muscle tissue around the outside of our house to prevent any trespassers from coming.
It pisses me off how we're always investigating peoples tombs when there's laws against vandalizing cemeteries and stuff. I mean, where is the respect for these ancient people?
No liberals and feminists are terrible at hijacking history to rewrite it to suit their political goals ...the extinction of white Western and European history for a fairytale socalist world of romanized slavery
Irish history is not dubious because of it's oral passage. That logic would disregard American and Australian history. Fionn McCool was the leader of the Fianna slua this is true despite historical embellishment and exaggeration.
Out of date, certainly not! Barry Cunliffe's theory is completely wrong: it is based on the surviving Celtic languages...He thinks that where Celtic languages survived, that was the birthplace of Celyic civilisation... He just forgets that languages easily vanish...Celtic languages vanished from what is present dayTurkey (the Galatians lived around Ankara and were there long before the Turks!!!), Hungary, Bohemia( the land of the Boii) Austria, South and Western Germany, Northern Italy, France, Spain , Portugal and Brittain...The Gauls forgot their language and started to learn Latin: probably due to christianisation: the mass was in latin...The Bretons of French Brittany were just invaders who brought their language in western Brittany only:Breton was never spoken in Nantes and Rennes, the 2 Breton capitals!!! And he should know and think about it: even today, Breton is hardly spoken in French Brittany, Gaelic in Scotland,and... Even in Wales and Ireland they speak more often English than Welsh or Gaelic!!!! I think that Germanic languages and Latin moved from east to west and wiped out celtic languages, except in the last westrn remote recesses!!!
I prefer Barry Cunliffe's theory. He addresses the issue o the Galatians of Turkey , near Ankara, but his overall theory of the Atlantic people speaking similar languages hold s good. It isn't that the Celtic languages survived in the west, they developed along the Atlantic, which is backed up by recent discoveries in DNA........that the DNA of the ancient Atlantic people still is the major art of the DNA in the modern Irish people. The Celtic languages may not have survived in the central European countries.......who knows ? But you cannot say that they were 'forgotten'......or vanished.
How about school? In my country teachers once used Asterix as learning material while it's only supposed to be entertainment. I have no kids myself but if I had I would be very mad. I don't want them to teach kids nonsense about bards being hit or tied up, magic potions or Gauls eating primarily boars.
None can make my right to life null and void except myself and that which gave me life. That you and people who believe as you do buy into the self-given (false) authority that the archons peddle is the only thing perpetuating the lie on our planet. I never used the word "fail" or "failed", I said we are not going to make it. Not if we continue with the current childish (as far as conscious development) mentality that you fly the banner for.
Just because we are hanging in there (by a thread) does not mean that our own destruction has not been seeded by this mentality. You think because we've managed to survive with this mentality for a few thousand years means we're good to go? Your perspective of time is extremely short sighted.
No I didn't say I 'Believe' anything I outright said that a government does have the right to put citizens that break certain laws to death. You are adding things that I never said.
pronounciation of Celtic words:::::::the C is usually a K sound ICENI.....I KEE NI..... we all get this wrong so dont feel bad CELTIC...KELTIC...... the word is out and even north americans accept this BOADICEA...BOUDIKA...this is now fully accepted any more hard C celtic words out there?...remember that all the Mc C names like Mc Call or Mc Candless are always the K sound ...I think Iceni is the most misprounounced
Celts are R1b gene code. the Germans are both R1a and R1b. the Norse are I1a gene code. all very close indo-eropean people. cousins. the first horse people.
french and spaniard people still celtic? if you are talking about the genetics you mean the genes of the native people who once practiced the celtic culture before the roman conquest right? you deffinetly will find some remnands of their dna in modern people depending on where they live. but how much of it does it need until you say someone is celtic or more correct: belongs to a certain group of people who once practiced celtic culture? french and spaniards are probably as much celtic as they are roman and whatever came after them. maybe even less celtic. who knows? and you will definetly find some of these genes in west and south germany.there were celts in germany too you know. so until their is no threshold many of todays germans would also be " of celtic origin".
Gee Physk you seem to think that there are no possible ways to live after dying - Well I gotta agree that if you haven't died yet then how can you know if there is any possibility of still perceiving? - But what if you have already had most of your brain matter splattered against a wall and at least 25 bones broken and your still walking and talking like you always did and could? - If you don't know - then you probably cannot know - the knowledge is esoteric - you have to do it to know it!
You should watch 'The Ancient Celts' hosted by Terry Jones which scrapes away the Roman layer of bullshit to reveal that the Celts were NOT a people as savage as history [written by the Romans] has lead us to blindly believe. Just a suggestion, not a criticism.
But in stating a fallacy as a fact (in this case that governments have the right to take life) you imply a belief as it is impossible to know a fallacy.
Im from Celtic heritage but this show started to get on my nerves when the chubby lady with the lisp seems to make huge assumptions about history and speak them like fact. Irritating as hell. Maybe I need a coffee and try again but I dont think I can handle an hour of that chubby lisp
It's your responsibility to murder if ordered by a "higher authority"??? Wow...we humans are not going to make it. What childish ignorance. If one's conscience (or lack there of) uses this sort of reasoning you might want to consider the possibility that you are a psychopath.
The island you refer to was called Hy Brasil and it dissapeared at the end of the last ice age.Your statement loses all credibility when you talk of alien wars on earth.Not sure what University you went to but while history is written by the victors and not the pure truth there as never been a culture or 6 cultures who ran the world. Mankind did travel the planet long before most historians believe but society was much less technical
You contradict yourself. Do you think before speaking? You say they "blindly followed the word of corrupt Popes", but these Popes were an authority at the time which made it their "civic duty" and "responsibility" to partake in the murders by your reasoning. The murders were done in God's name. God is a concept used by those popes to claim authority.
Nah you're describing ritual suicide not human sacrifice. Human sacrifice is defined as murder so it must be done by someone else to be human sacrifice. There really, honestly, truly is a legally defined line between ritual suicide and human sacrifice (ritual murder). If you didn't know that then do you honestly expect me to believe you know what you're talking about at all? I don't believe you have any idea what Abrahamic religions teach. Do some reading then try again.
A lot of ignorance exists about what Celtic means. It was a culture like European culture. It was never a race so talking about genetics and Celts is meaningless.
Wow, such liberal use of the word "barbaric". As if severed heads and battle where something strange. What about public executions in Tudor England? Drawing and quartering? Most definitely barbaric. The show lacks in cultural relativism.
No there's no contradiction. If God himself were to order a people to go to war with Islam in his name, then yes they were all killing in the name of God. But it wasn't God speaking it was corrupt men in power so they were fighting in the name of men under the delusion that it was for God. There is a difference and if you can't see it then frankly I'll keep my perspective and can care less about yours.
Celtic art is unique, but I get a bit pissed off, that Celts are always painted as barbarians, they were much more then that, I'm proud of my ancestors!
Good for you, I totally agree, the Celts had so many amazing skills and resources, I get so fed up of the documentary makers constantly, referring to them as uncivilised barbarians.
I so miss those days!
I recall the battle of Torga Na when we killed over 800 and I kept the heads of 18.
Thank you for the uploading
one of the best documentaries ive seen...The ancient Celts obviously believed in the afterlife and they also had an amazing sense of humor which is reflected in their coinage and artwork in general.......I think they had a great distaste for the city life and preferred their rustic remote rural life over the so called civilized world of the romans and greeks.....These qualities and beliefs made them physically and spiritually stronger and thus not easily dominated by other cultures....

Good old Obelix!
Please tell me the difference between "fail", "failed", and "Not going to make it". "Fail" is exactly what you describe in fewer words.

Alvaro Santos Of course ! The Celts were the first european civlization, so several european people are celt, but,unfortunately, they have no conscience of their roots, because of thousand-year-old roman propaganda.
But it has failed to totally wipe out our resistance, and the CELTS are back !
Aï wisas Keltoï ! (we are Celts !)
What about Lusitania,which certainly did exist??? and stood where present day Portugal is!
Southern Portugal has Tartassian inscriptions.....that is a "Celtic" language ( see Koch).
Hahahahahahahahahah @ 15:31 "other writers tell us that the Celts left their homeland in search for loot, bootie and glory"

Of course it was, I knew it even when I was eight. But how else would a little kid learn about Vercingetorix, Cassivellaunos and Julius Caesar? ;)

Celts were NOT illiterate! They were not allowed to record their history by the Druids. They used writing for economical purposes.
Baaaaah! We're not all drinkers!......... Just most of us.... Mmmm. Boooooze.
Luckily the Celts still had their oral traditions.
Heres one though, if the Druids and even the Celts survived the Romans in Ireland then what happened to those people? surely it wasnt all down to a couple of balding monks to remove an age old way of life.

I agree with u .it should be done it small bits to learn of history.but let people rest in peace.hello from Eire. 🇮🇪🇮🇪
"almost twice the height of romans".
Does this woman even know what she's talking about?
No liberals and feminists are terrible at hijacking history to rewrite it to suit their political goals ...the extinction of white Western and European history for a fairytale socalist world of romanized slavery
The Romans just like the Greeks were Aryan too. So they wouldn't of been that much shorter than the Celts.
@@bigbearfuzzums7027 what in the fuck are you talking about?
I believe these Celts to be the original 'sea-peoples' of the 1250's bc....
The Celts were Aryan. descents of the civilizations attacked by the sea peoples.
Strangely enough, the celtic languages are on the Italo branch of Indo-European. The structure of primitive celtic wasn't unlike that of Latin
The people of the British Isles and Ireland are genetically related to many people in Iberia from the neolithic and bronze ages
the language?
4:43 a viking era sword ?
Irish history is not dubious because of it's oral passage. That logic would disregard American and Australian history. Fionn McCool was the leader of the Fianna slua this is true despite historical embellishment and exaggeration.

It isn't that the Celtic languages survived in the west, they developed along the Atlantic, which is backed up by recent discoveries in DNA........that the DNA of the ancient Atlantic people still is the major art of the DNA in the modern Irish people.
The Celtic languages may not have survived in the central European countries.......who knows ?
But you cannot say that they were 'forgotten'......or vanished.
over 9000 years ago
How about school?
In my country teachers once used Asterix as learning material while it's only supposed to be entertainment. I have no kids myself but if I had I would be very mad. I don't want them to teach kids nonsense about bards being hit or tied up, magic potions or Gauls eating primarily boars.
Celts were twice as tall as Romans?
Huh, you learn something new every day...
Well, from your reply, at least, I know that you enjoy Asterix, historically accurate or no. Have a boar!
revision; the video I was referring to is actually called, "Barbarians - the Primitive Celts".... sorry 'bout that.
None can make my right to life null and void except myself and that which gave me life. That you and people who believe as you do buy into the self-given (false) authority that the archons peddle is the only thing perpetuating the lie on our planet. I never used the word "fail" or "failed", I said we are not going to make it. Not if we continue with the current childish (as far as conscious development) mentality that you fly the banner for.
Just because we are hanging in there (by a thread) does not mean that our own destruction has not been seeded by this mentality. You think because we've managed to survive with this mentality for a few thousand years means we're good to go? Your perspective of time is extremely short sighted.
13:07 the celts were twice as tall as romans? how tall were the romans? 3 feet? then the celts must have been 6 feet:D
No I didn't say I 'Believe' anything I outright said that a government does have the right to put citizens that break certain laws to death. You are adding things that I never said.
Doesn't everyone?
5:58 5:59 and 6:04
These are Germanic and Viking artifacts not Celtic
Idiot
fighting naked collecting heads like stamps what else can you ask for.
Also quick fact all barbarians featuring in games are based on celts.
so i take it instead of random stuff hanging on your walls you have human heads.
Personally I am hoping its all locked away in the bowels of the vatican, not destoryed, and some day we can liberate it.
pronounciation of Celtic words:::::::the C is usually a K sound
ICENI.....I KEE NI..... we all get this wrong so dont feel bad
CELTIC...KELTIC...... the word is out and even north americans accept this
BOADICEA...BOUDIKA...this is now fully accepted
any more hard C celtic words out there?...remember that all the Mc C names like Mc Call or Mc Candless are always the K sound ...I think Iceni is the most misprounounced
Celts are R1b gene code. the Germans are both R1a and R1b. the Norse are I1a gene code. all very close indo-eropean people. cousins. the first horse people.
Celtic is not a race.
french and spaniard people still celtic? if you are talking about the genetics you mean the genes of the native people who once practiced the celtic culture before the roman conquest right? you deffinetly will find some remnands of their dna in modern people depending on where they live. but how much of it does it need until you say someone is celtic or more correct: belongs to a certain group of people who once practiced celtic culture? french and spaniards are probably as much celtic as they are roman and whatever came after them. maybe even less celtic. who knows? and you will definetly find some of these genes in west and south germany.there were celts in germany too you know. so until their is no threshold many of todays germans would also be " of celtic origin".
is latin similar to celtic
they should really have Lerner how to speck irish right be4 tryin to say irish words
Gee Physk you seem to think that there are no possible ways to live after dying - Well I gotta agree that if you haven't died yet then how can you know if there is any possibility of still perceiving? - But what if you have already had most of your brain matter splattered against a wall and at least 25 bones broken and your still walking and talking like you always did and could? - If you don't know - then you probably cannot know - the knowledge is esoteric - you have to do it to know it!
You should watch 'The Ancient Celts' hosted by Terry Jones which scrapes away the Roman layer of bullshit to reveal that the Celts were NOT a people as savage as history [written by the Romans] has lead us to blindly believe. Just a suggestion, not a criticism.
Did she say the Celts were twice the height of the Romans? *twice*? This must be an error right xD
Romans were dwarves ._.
***** yeah, I always imagined romans as snobby cunts with british accents, not a bunch of bearded mountaindwelling greedy asshole.
nah mate
and the celts were barbaric with the seeing blood every day from the colosium i think celts compared to romans the celts are way better
Defending bits of -Turkey- Anatolia. Turkey didnt exist back then.
;-)
But in stating a fallacy as a fact (in this case that governments have the right to take life) you imply a belief as it is impossible to know a fallacy.
Scots were Scythians. Hence 'Scots' etymologically cognates with 'Scyts'.
Im from Celtic heritage but this show started to get on my nerves when the chubby lady with the lisp seems to make huge assumptions about history and speak them like fact. Irritating as hell. Maybe I need a coffee and try again but I dont think I can handle an hour of that chubby lisp
And Christian or not, wouldn't you agree that a religion advocating human sacrifice and mounting heads on pikes is barbaric and brutal?
I'd rather have my perspective than yours. I frankly can't figure yours out you seem to just like arguing for the sake of it.
But historically completely incorrect.
It's your responsibility to murder if ordered by a "higher authority"??? Wow...we humans are not going to make it. What childish ignorance. If one's conscience (or lack there of) uses this sort of reasoning you might want to consider the possibility that you are a psychopath.
The island you refer to was called Hy Brasil and it dissapeared at the end of the last ice age.Your statement loses all credibility when you talk of alien wars on earth.Not sure what University you went to but while history is written by the victors and not the pure truth there as never been a culture or 6 cultures who ran the world. Mankind did travel the planet long before most historians believe but society was much less technical
You contradict yourself. Do you think before speaking? You say they "blindly followed the word of corrupt Popes", but these Popes were an authority at the time which made it their "civic duty" and "responsibility" to partake in the murders by your reasoning. The murders were done in God's name. God is a concept used by those popes to claim authority.
Nah you're describing ritual suicide not human sacrifice. Human sacrifice is defined as murder so it must be done by someone else to be human sacrifice. There really, honestly, truly is a legally defined line between ritual suicide and human sacrifice (ritual murder). If you didn't know that then do you honestly expect me to believe you know what you're talking about at all? I don't believe you have any idea what Abrahamic religions teach. Do some reading then try again.
An exagerated comparison
dont like this documentary what where the romans doing here in the 1st place?they said it was a civilising act but it was really a brutal suppression
A lot of ignorance exists about what Celtic means. It was a culture like European culture. It was never a race so talking about genetics and Celts is meaningless.
No such thing as Celts.
Jesus get a grip! it's documentary, why do you take everything the Brits say as a personal insult? grow up and get on with the times-
Wow, such liberal use of the word "barbaric". As if severed heads and battle where something strange. What about public executions in Tudor England? Drawing and quartering? Most definitely barbaric. The show lacks in cultural relativism.
Celts > Germanics
Ignorant. He forgot the celts in north of portugal and spain.
No there's no contradiction. If God himself were to order a people to go to war with Islam in his name, then yes they were all killing in the name of God. But it wasn't God speaking it was corrupt men in power so they were fighting in the name of men under the delusion that it was for God. There is a difference and if you can't see it then frankly I'll keep my perspective and can care less about yours.
very misinformative and not in accord with arhcaelogical and literary research.
