History of the Celts: The Civilization That Gave Birth to Europe

The Celts are an ancient people with a unique culture. This civilization, which arose in the late Bronze Age, without exaggeration gave birth to Europe, the community of its peoples in language, material culture and traditions. Thanks to extensive trade relations and a wide range of settlement, the Celts spread their culture from the Black Sea to the Atlantic Ocean throughout Europe, and left their mark on the history of many nations.
In this video, you can delve into the history of the Celts from the moment they first appeared in the heart of the Alps, trace the path of this people to the Iberian Peninsula, the British Isles and the Black Sea coast, learn how fiercely they fought the Romans and understand why, in the end, the Celts did not create the first empire in Europe.

Even today, with the exception of the Basques, all the regions of northern Spain identify ourselves as Celtic peoples (Astures, Cantabrians, and Gallaeci). Their legacy is deeply significant to us, despite the fact that we are Latin. Actually, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Cantabrian Wars. No one resisted the Roman invasion longer than the ancient Cantabrians under Corocotta. These wars, fought between 29 and 19 BCE, were led by Emperor Augustus, who oversaw the campaigns to conquer Cantabria and the surrounding regions. Although Augustus did not personally fight in the battles, he directed operations and relied on generals like Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa to complete the conquest of Hispania. According to Roman sources, a bounty of 200,000 sesterces was offered for the head of Corocotta, underscoring the threat he posed to the empire

Nobody never talks about this, so i will try and lay this out. A group of early indo european speaking peoples from the pontic steppe moved into the hungarian plateau in the copper age. Then, around 2800 b.c. or earlier, a group moved out and journeyed across europe to modernday Brittany and the spreaded along the coast into Spain and Portugal. The thought is that they either established, helped the spread or evolved the Bell Beaker culture. Around 2400 b.c. they across the channel to Britain and later in Ireland. This group are known as the Atlantic Celtics. Later more Indo-European speakers moved up the Danube to establish the Hallstatt culture. Then they moved into the Italian peninsula and the italic languages came into being. Later, more groups moved out of Hallstatt north and west, becoming the Gauls and Germans.

[@DanielFerguson-j9u]

This is closer to the reality. The Celts didn't happen until the Beaker people of Iberian became them, then spread north, their Celtic tongue developing with them, in the west. As you say the latter , Hallstatt/La Tenerife peoples became the Germanic tribes, not Celts. Britain, from an early date received peoples from both these groups, not Celts only.

[@chrissmithdoe2100]

Heracles was wandering through “the land of the Celts” (Gaul) and came across a king named Bretannus. Heracles then had a son with Celtine, the daughter of King Bretannus. This son was named Celtus, from whom the Celts were descended.

It is more likely that it was the Corded Ware and Beaker cultures that first spread Indo-European culture across Western E.urope. However it is also likely that the Celts expanded upon this first area especially in Iberia.

[@molecatcher3383]

The inhabitants of the British Isles before the arrival of the Celts were mainly descended from the Indo-European Beaker People who migrated there around 2500 BC. DNA evidence has found that the Neolithic people of the British Isles, who lived there before the coming of the Beaker Folk were almost totally replaced (90%) by the Beaker folk.

i agree with the concept of this in terms of the “modern standard celtic origins narrative”. however its much too simplistic, neath and tidy a model, to say the celtic culture just began in the geographical centre of europe and expanded in several consecutive directions. the spread of peoples and cultures is usually much more random and sporadic. just have to for example look at the spread of the vikings and normans. it was much more checkered and messy, with pockets of viking and later norman settlements being found in many coastal parts of europe. surely similar happened in the spread of celtic culture with that spread being much more messy and in various waves and spread along the coasts too. also, celtic culture is being seen more and more today through a renewed lens and the celtic culture, seen as having a much older origin, from the bronze age, which then continued into the iron age. just have to look at irish traditional accounts for example.

[@fatmanyevo6235]

Highly outdated information in regards to Britain and a lot of western Europe. France and Britain were not neolithic by this point, nor were they direct descendants of the neolithic population, they had already been conquered by Indo Europeans from the Lower Rhine (Bell Beaker culture) by this point which replaced 90% of British ancestry, 60-75% of French ancestry and 50% of Spanish ancestry (although they are believed to have maintained the neolithic language) "The picts" did not build stone henge. There is little evidence that they were even different from the pre roman Britons of the South, their names seem to be of a Celtic or at least para-celtic etymology. The neolithic theory was largely created by nordicists in the 19th and 20th century as a convenient way to explain darker phenotypes in this area and also Ireland and Wales.

[@ScottA2345]

"Spread from Ireland to Turkey. . . . " makes it sound like the Celts originated in Ireland and then spread to Turkey - which most people today would readily believe. But as this video shows, Ireland was merely one of the LAST places the Celts spread to, not from. Because of Ireland's relative remoteness, Celtic culture endured there because it had few cultural competitors.

[@DanielFerguson-j9u]

This is nonsense. The Celts were an Atlantic culture. Hallstatt & La Tene were NOT Celtic, but proto-germanic. The early Celts were likely the Bell Beaker people who moved from The Basque region & Iberian peninsula, & spread up the coast into the British Isles. The Danube/Rhine peoples were NOT Celts, nor were they in central Europe. This pan European Celtic culture is an assumption not a fact. The earliest Greek reference to the Keltoi are really only to the Basque area, it is modern commentators that mistook this for the Danube, & so took the mid European cultures as Celtic & misapplied this across the whole, when this culture was not Celtic. The Celts, in the west became participants in the culture, as recipients, not it's originators. Some groups of Celts invaded Italy, & Anatolia, but from the west, not from central Europe. The Germanic tribes were always more numerous, & dominant throughout eastern, central, & northern Europe, & the characteristic 'Celtic' indicators are really theirs, the Celts being only a fringe group of peoples concentrated along the Atlantic coast, from Iberia to the British Isles, but in Gaul only as far north as the Seine river, beyond which were the Belgic, German, tribes, who had compatriots across the Channel & North Sea in Eastern Britain. Only the western Britons can be said to have been Celts, for most eastern tribes were more closely related to the Germanic Belgae, & more German tribes further north. Eastern Britain had been receiving migrants from northern Europe from a date way back in the neolithic, about the same period that the actual Celts had been arriving from the south west into western Britain & Ireland. There has always been a linguistic & genetic divide between the people of the eastern & western parts of Britain. It is basically that between the Celts & Germans, though, of course there has always been some overlap & interbreeding between these two groups, in areas of contact. We are constrained into using the slightly false linguistic labels for these two groups, because that is what people have done by tarring all Europe with the same Celtic brush, quite mistakenly, & 'German', or more correctly 'proto-germanic' is the only thing so far that we can contrast the common view with that comes near to reflecting the facts. Until the Hallstatt & La Tenerife cultures are detached from the erroneous 'celtic' label, & an alternative title can be granted to these, then German has to serve, as the end result of the developed culture through most of Europe.

[@Trancymind]

There is a big genetic evidence that the irish people are in general closely related to the people of northern Spain than their english neighbours. R1B haplogroup if you are interested.

[@kubhlaikhan2015]

@@Trancymind 'Closer' perhaps, but definitely not "closely". Genetically the Irish are almost indistinguishable from mainland Britain as you would expect. As for language, Celtic languages probably first arrived in Ireland from southern England and France in the late Bronze age (not Spain, Anatolia or Scythia). As for culture, most of the cultural artefacts associated with "the Irish" today also arrived from the mainland (including bagpipes, bodhran and whiskey, which were once common all over Britain) or from an earlier non-Celtic migration from the Baltic (the harp, red hair). I am not belittling Irish culture - we are *all* mongrels, so trying to invent pure ancestral lineages is an illusion at best and sinister at worst.

[@joserodrigues46]

There are genetic evidences. Western Iberians share the same haplogoup as western Europeans living along the Atlantic. I myself share 20% British Celtic ancestry without having any ancestor, as far as I know , from thar part of Europe but my origins are Northwest Iberian. Is it a fat myth or a hard truth?

Italians should apologise for the conquest and the destruction of native peoples and cultures. Give the gold back

[@gabrigab1397]

I'm Italian. Don't forget we are not the direct sons of the Romans. We were conquered as well many times, by Ostrogoths, for example, after the fall of Rome. My country was divided for almost 1000 years and then reunited for the first time by Napoleon, who declared himself the King of Italy, among his other titles. Italians are an incredible mixture of cultures. Just to say, my family was living in Italy for centuries and I've done a DNA test: I resulted less than 30% italian, 15% from France and Germany, 5% Iberian, 5% Greek, 5% Hebrew, 4% Slavic, 3% Celtic, 3% Arab, 2% from Turkey, 2% from British islands, 1% from northen Africa.

Picts natively spoke a Brythonic language. Picts were Celtic! For the love of history, blue painted charioteers and blue painted warriors resisted Caesars landing at Dover! Gaels are NOT Celtic, Gaels are from Scythia and Scythians are the tribe of Hercules, AKA a Danite Jew named Samson. Gaels are literal lost Israelites.

there is no such thing as the British Isles

[@connorparker6461]

Only Ireland doesn’t use the term, literally the rest of the world does and has done for a long time. I understand why the Irish dislike the term, but it’s simply a geographical term, not political. Island chains are usually referred to by the largest island or something times the dominant ethnic group. Saying the Caribbeans or the Malay Archipelago are examples, you use to refer to the island in general, even though they don’t even identify with each other and often dislike the terms.

Vascones and Iberians were never celtisised.

[@jfarinhote]

Most Iberia was, and intermingled with the local population in the south, giving rise to the celtiberianans. Basques though were able to keep their identity culture and language under the celts.

[@eugenicasanovasolanes8338]

@@jfarinhote Iberians were a people who lived along the Mediterranean coast from Narbonne to Andalusia, not the inhabitants of he whole Iberian peninsula. They are first dated in VIII BC and were erased by Romans. Now is being proved that had some relation to Vascones (proto-basques). They were at least neighbours.

[@eugenicasanovasolanes8338]

@@jfarinhote Celtiberians are documented only in a region in central Spain, not in the majority of the Peninsula. They were Celtic and are called Celtiberians not because they were mingled, but because they used Iberian script, but with Celtic words.
