The Forgotten History of Celtic Poland

The ancient history of Poland is more connected with Goths and other local tribes than with the Celts. However, during many excavations archaeologists have discovered links between the modern territory of Poland and old Celtic tribes.
For example, archaeological excavations show that the Celts arrived and created a settlement in Poland. They probably came via the area of Morawy in the Czech Republic circa 400 BC. The first group arrived to Lower Silesia, south from the city Wroclaw. Another group of Celts created settlements in the area near Cracow (Kraków), and all the area of Lesser Poland Voivodeship.
By studying the discovered sites, Polish researchers started to realize that the culture of the territory of Poland in the late Iron Age was highly influenced by the Celtic culture. Poland has never been a part of the Roman Empire, so the influence of mixed aspects of different pre-Roman tribes, including the Goths, Scythians, etc., created the earliest history of the country in Central Europe.

Whatever their origins, the Polish are remarkably good-looking people, I’ve noticed.

[@pawelgrzesznik9210]

Fun fact: most Poles alive today have genetic ties to the land of Poland since Bronze Age, meaning that we are not purely of Slavic stock as some may suggest, but descendants of the ancient Celts and Goths, mixed with Slavic settlers..

[@deanfirnatine7814]

One of my Celtic Studies professors suggested Celts had a strong presence in Poland and the Baltics almost twenty years ago, he was right

[@davnav5456]

West Slavs mix with Vikings,Celts and Germanic tribe.,,old Vikings Goods is the same like Slavic... Perun is like Thor....etc. Why Vikings make more trade with Slavs not war? Polish kings have Viking mercenary in army 1000 years ago...Vikings build towns in north Russia and make trade with west Slavs. Isle "Wolin" this is big trade market in old times..

I get along very well with polish people. I dont know why. Even when i was working in customer service i had a client calling. We were joking around and had amazing conversation. At the end she said she is polish and asked what am i? I Said im tamil. She said seems like we have some past life connections 😁

The eastern Celts are a very interesting group to study about.

[@virgiljjacas1229]

Thank you for sharing it. European history was overwhelmed and quasi destroyed by the Roman Empire first, and the Holy Roman Empire later.

You also forgot to mention that the southern part of Poland bears the name of "Galicja" from "Gallic".

[@DaLoganFrost]

You're going to have to UPDATE your video. Now knowing that the LARGEST ROMAN pottery excavation has been discovered March 2021 in Central POLAND. History is always changing. Thanks for the video. Great work.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

The problem with the Ancient Origins site is that KZbin always gives me Ancient Aliens, instead! I’m a scientist and a rational person, no thanks YT.

Hello. I'm from Poland (but now I live in Cyprus) when I was young, Celtic artifacts were found in my grandmother's garden near Krakow. The found clothing decorations were taken to archaeologists, we thought they were things from the Middle Ages. They turned out to be Celtic, 900 years older. When I was older, about 25, I became friends with an Irishman, we went on a trip around Poland to see Celtic monuments.

[@nataliaprzeszowska]

As a Pole I can’t appreciate this enough! Thank you!!

[@maciejsyrokomla-syrokomski838]

There is a relatively believable legend running in my family of the first Syrokomla (Sire O'Comel or Sire O'Connel - note the old form of "sir" - as he inherited the Irish title after his elder brother had died in his country of origin) who came to Poland in the 13th century from Ireland and got Polish nobility from the Polish king and one of the oldest coat-of-arms (Habdank) for his exploits in the wars with Moscow. The earliest confirmed record of our name comes from 1343 of a Cracow judge.

The historian Kamil Baczewski is the author of three books about "the true roots of the Western Slavs," and says they were the Vandals. I wish the books were available in English. He has an excellent website.

[@Siska0Robert]

Greeting from Moravia! The displacement of Celts by Slavs is definitely one of the most interesting topics of history for me. Wish there were more videos like this!

[@tomek1867]

Guys, you made a great video. Greeting from Poland. 😍😍

[@ArtUrArtusKarczem]

Witam 🖐️, mam na imię ArtUr, co oznacza niedźwiedź, młody i szlachetny. Imię nadał mi ojciec od imienia króla Celtów Artusa. Mam korzenie Celtyckie od strony babci, mamy mojego ojca. Moja rodzina przyszła do Polski z terenów Czech w XV wieku. Życzę Wam wszystkim szczęśliwości i pomyślności ♥️😌🙏
