The Gaulish celts invented Chainmail . The roman gallic helmet , the Scutum were also invented by the celts. The spatha was also adopted from the celts. Gaulish celts also had fortified small „cities“. The Romans were worried that the Gauls will become to civilized and become a threat to Rome. It was the British celts that fought naked and even that was possibly roman propaganda. The British celts and the Gaulish celts were very different.

[@toastedt140]

​@Andrej-tt1yi TBF there were also many smaller tribes with varying levels of technological and social cohesion. The "Gauls" as an entity didn't really exist until they unified to combat the roman campaigns. Gaul was a geographic area so the modern equivalent would be something like Midwesterners or Eastern Europeans. Some Gauls had constant contact with Romans while others only met them when they went on campaign. A lot of the "filthy naked tribes" were just the poorer ones the romans could bribe to switch sides. There was also a propoganda element. The further you got away from Rome, the further the tribes got from being "civilized." We only have Roman sources, but there are some cool anthro theories about the nakedness of Gaulic tribes.

The references in this video are superb, although personally I would have chosen a different accent for the Hebrews. The Yiddish accent, fundamentally, is just the accent of an Eastern European guy fluent in German and a Slavic language like Ukrainian or Polish. Granted, I understand why you chose the Yiddish accent, as to Anglophone viewers it is probably the most recognizeably "Jewish" accent, and it isn't like the Modern Israeli accent is free of Eastern European influences. New Yorker accent would also not be the ideal choice, as it does not contain many influences from the Middle East.

@@redvelvetcakie Israeli Hebrew is not based off the 'Sephardi dialect', the spoken form is basically German pronunciation layered over a highly Europeanised and simplified version of Hebrew. It is completely artificial.
