Celts - The Untold Story | Part 1: Dawn of the Celts | FD Ancient History

[@user-McGiver]

Greek here (Hellin) 3 min in the video and I know I'll love it already... first of all I need to explain what ''Barbarian'' means in ancient Greek (Hellenic) it doesn't mean ''brut'' as we use now... but more like ''gibberish'', someone speaking a language we can't understand [making fun of it, making a sound like ''Bar-bar-bar''] it was like an ''inside joke'' nonoffensive, don't forget that the world we knew was a bunch of City-States, where we all spoke the same language [there wasn't a sense of ''one country'' then, peripheral peoples who spoke some Greek, due to trade, etc... and ''the others''... Talking about the Celtic peoples, we mustn't forget the Gauls who migrated to Anatolia, after the Roman fall... and the fact that the ''Ancient'' [according even to the ancient Greeks] god Pan... not an actual god but represeter of Nature, holding the same role as Cernunnos for the Celtic people ... (Pan = All, everything )

Wow, I can poke holes in much of what you wrote. Celts were in Anatolia long before Rome was an empire. That's just one.

@@craigpalmer7221 and before you want to pretend to be able to poke holes in anything I say. Let's get one thing straight. Theories are not facts,but go on I want to hear your factual information

[@donaldscott3921]

Interesting, but seems to avoid the critical question - Where did those who controlled the salt mines come from? There is some interesting evidence that that people had a long history before the Austrian salt mine era. National Geographic, when it was still a reputable research journal, published an article that described a probable Celtic community in Greece. That community may have produced Homer, who certainly reveals the Celtic/Gallic traditions of oral poetry. The article also noted that the artistic qualities of ancient Greek art have similarities to Celtic art. Also, the people of the Po Valley, in Roman times, were probably Celts. Fierce fighters, and so effective, that the Romans apparently gave up conquering them and hired them as warriors. Even more interesting are those almost perfectly preserved mummies from Eastern China. Blond hair, fair skin, and a remarkably advanced technical/artistic culture: They were wearing woven wool with patterns similar to the setts of tartans from a much later period. (The Chinese would not reveal those mummies for some time because their advanced cultural artifacts indicated that China was not the wellspring for such technology.) Finally, other well-researched articles seem to pin the origin of the Celts to Anatolia. That might explain why "Celts" would have wandered east into China and west to Greece and Austria. But of course, that leads to another question: If Anatolia is the mother spring of the Celts, where did those Anatolian Celts come from?

Outstanding video , thank you so much .

[@jennifermcmillan9518]

I wonder what they’ll find that we got wrong in 200 years.

[@francory1897]

Very good video , but the person talking in the background with the music playing and the person giving the information I'm really interested in , is very confusing. It's like being in a room with everyone speaking at once. I turned the sound off and used the closed caption. This a solution but now I can't do my craft/art work. Don't know why but when my hands are working I can concentrate on what I'm learning. This is a whole lot of interesting information, I hope the next time there will be less noise , just keep those facts coming . Thank you

[@Senacacrane]

Thank you for uploading this awesome video. I love ancient history.😂

Is there a part 2?

[@mrmj2397]

Ya, I was wondering where pt 2 was as well. I see pt1 & pt3... but No pt2?

[@Anaris10]

The Celtic Cross is out of place here. They were Pagan for far longer than they have been christian. So who was an Evil Celtic deity?.

[@user-McGiver]

We (Greeks) didn't invent chariots [or chariot races] and horseback riding... we got these from the steppe people... chariots with donkeys were even older from the Sumerians ... the Olympic Games were never about horses or chariots... but only about humans... DON'T CONFUSE US WITH THE ROMANS!... they weren't even ''Europeans''... is there anyone with a History degree in this production, or you're all irrelevant?...

[@mondriaa]

where did they say Greeks invented chariot races? As for chariots at the Olympics you are very wrong there from 680BC there where chariot races at the Olympics

Keltoi Keltic Celtic… The C is often pronounced like an S… Seltic… Sel is the french word for salt.

[@S.J.L]

The Celts were a branch of Indo Europeans. They did not originate in Austria but in Ukraine.

[@S.J.L]

They left little written record but some Celts did write Celtic in the Greek alphabet, 6th century BCE.

Why is the commentary over the English speaking experts?

[@Aussie00]

The narrator's voice cadence was so annoying, like she's reading a story to a child.

Visited Hallstatt a while back, very beautiful but I've never met more rude and unfriendly people than the locals. I definitely don't recommend anyone visiting Hallstatt. The police even arrested my dog because he barked...barely got him back. And no one wants to speak English.

how many years have to pass to where grave robbing becomes archeology?

Lemme know when you figure that out and we can both be archeologists.

Use subtitles. I don't like hearing two people at the same time. I can understand German.

[@user-McGiver]

you completely missed the point, to project your ''wishful thinking'' here... there was a trade route... but not this one... all the tin that was used to make all the bronze [mixed with copper] that named the Bronze Age in the Mediterranean cultures, came from England [the Tin Islands] through Europe [not by sea around the Atlantic] so all the European peoples were involved, the trading route was used for other goods to... but THAT was the main trade route... there wasn't any Amber Age... but there was a Bronze Age... YOUR SOURCES AND PRESENTATION SUCK!... GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!... WE'RE NOT ALL IDIOTS!

[@janetbriggs2528]

I'm Greek and a big history buff, however I learned some very interesting facts from reading your comments. I also liked how you called them out on their sources and presentation. Nice job!!!

[@ShinyStarfire]

Weren't there different trade routes in the bronze age?

[@rolandrabier5984]

@@thomasnelson7869 I think the Germans are better, they were tougher foes to the Romans, they ended crushing them. The Vikings were the last Germanic tribes to keep the old ways and religion till 1066 ad.

[@antoniescargo1529]

The Germans are a mixture of Germanic -, Slavic -, Celtic etc peoples. Berlin, Leipzig are Slavic names. Nijmegen, Remagen etc are Celtic names. When you are from the north it is difficult to understand a Bavarian, an Austrian or a Swiss.
