Ah, I love this stuff so much. Before the Romans even set foot on British soil, there was over 1,200 years of history. Kingdoms and battles and lovers and betrayels. All of it. I wish the Celts wrote down or documented these, but we have awesome artefacts like hillforts and hoards. And then we have standing stones like Stonehenge which was 2,000 years before the Celts even stepped onto Britain!

[@imemberberry]

We only have limited information to go off of unfortunately, usually imperial scribes writing about them, not much actual source code from Celts. Publius Tacitus wrote that a man from Briton could speak to a man from Anatolia with no language barrier for hundreds of years. Leads me to believe that while "Celts" or "Gauls" or "Goths" never considered themselves as such, there was a sort of anti-empire tribal understanding that preserved language and culture against the Greek and Roman empires of antiquity. It's like.. they weren't working together, but they hated the empires more than each other and over hundreds of years certain customs became universal.

Most celtic peoples believed in reincarnation as well. It's one of the major reasons why the romans stomped out the druids. Belief in reincarnation made celtic warriors too rebellious.

[@iainrendle7989]

Really.....it was more to do with the excuse using the Druidic practice of human sacrifice that was abhorant to the Romans, but rather the power held by the Druids in the Celtic tribes and the fact that they were a glue between different tribes, so therefore did not benefit the Roman normality of divide and conquer. The Druids believed in Rebirth rather than reincarnation.....and reason why badly sick people were euthanised, and only after the creation of modern Druidism was reincarnation referred to.

Love to hear about the ancient history of my home, I have lived in Ramsgate all my life and Pegwell Bay today is a well preserved nature reserve for nesting birds. It’s a lovely place to go for a walk just don’t hit the nature reserve. To think that 2100 years ago it was the site of Roman Eagles landing on the shore of Britain to now being the well protected site for Turtle Doves and other nesting birds strikes a stark contrast. Thank you for this excellent video. There is the Replica Hugin Viking Longboat about half a mile up the coast from Pegwell Bay in Cliffsend which was gifted by the Danish in 1949 to commemorate 1500 years since the Anglo-Saxon invasion and there is a sign near it saying Kent Welcomes Viking Invaders as a dual historical reference. As well, the town of Ramsgate is the site where St Augustine brought Christianity to the British Isles. Our little corner of the country is steep with important pivotal national history but we scarcely advertise it. Hopefully that will change in years to come.

Small point: Albion is misapplied to England. I read somewhere that it arose from someone seeing it on Ptolemy's map and not realising it referred to the region of modern Scotland. Scotland is still "Albu" in Gaelic and "yr Alban" . Abion and Albany essentially the same derivation.

[@iainrendle7989]

Sorry but your information is inaccurate. Albion was the Greek name for the whole of the British Isles, coming from Albus (White) and was believed to refer to the White cliffs of the south coast, as they were key geographic identifiers as shortest point from Europe and could be seen from there. Scotland was not separate, and was just another region of Britain, termed Caledonia by the romans. You are confusing the term 'Alba' which was used as the name of what would be called Scotland (land of the Scoti who were Irish pirates and immigrants) from 843 CE by Kenneth McAlpine, which was almost 1300 years after the term Albion was first used. The name Scotland was first used around mid 10th century, and referenced that the land was the land of the Kings of the Scoti or Scots.

But the Romans did not know how to pronounce the W, so they Latinized the name of these Celts (Venelles) Then (Venellii) Later, they replaced the V with a U (Unellii).

This video blows me away! I had no idea just how well recorded Caesars first sets of invasions and Caligula's 2nd invasion was! It was SO detailed right down to the sigils of each tribes. I have always thought Romes invasions and early occupation were nearly no existent.. i believed this so much that I've always been bummed out that we didn't know anything about the native Britons of the first few centuries. An AMAZING video. Btw, for those who aren't aware.. the 45,000 Roman soldiers that number itself is impressive. But having 45k cross the channel to get to Britain is amazing. For context, having an army of just 10k was considered very large in ancient and Medieval history. So have THAT large of a number sail to england is bonkers
