Who were the Celts? The Valiant People Who Defied Rome - Great Civilizations

I don't understand why this is not more widely known, but woad is also a very effective styptic, so it would help stop bleeding from wounds received in battle. Also, women could be brehons or the lawyer/judges of the Celts by virtue of memorizing the entire legal codes of their local tribes and the law of the high king, plus whatever diplomatic traditions might be required.

I think you got it wrong with celtic origins in Europe dating back to the melting of the ice sheet. Liguists have already proven that celtic laguages are a part of Indo-European language family. The Indo-European people migrated into Europe from the Eurasian steppes in waves, celtic people being one of the first waves, They weren`t hunter-gatherers, they didn`t need to be becasue they have domesticated horses which were the source of their success. Not only they used them for transport but also as a source of meat and dairy products. It`s no secret that such diet allows humans to get bigger and more muscular, thus making them tougher warriors. The people who inhabited Europe since the ice melted and who were wiped out by Indo-Europeans represented some other, older cultures. A good example are the Basques whose language has nothing in common with Indo-European languages like romance, germanic or slavic languages

[@TheHardCore89]

Actually some populations would abandon nomadic life pretty early and start settling in permanent villages by turning initially to hunter-gathers' typical habits, then develop some level of agriculture and farming. Though their nomadic origins remained.. they were in fact formidable horsemen. The real development of agriculture came with the contact with the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans, who were obviously far more used to advanced agricoltura techniques. The thing about the diet is very debatable...many think that a tougher climate also contributes to growth in height.. we now think there was a huge difference but actually there was a gap of a few centimeters generally and they were not much better warriors than Greeks and Romans. by admission of some Germanic chiefs from the Suebii tribe, the Roman legionaries were "Invicti", or invincible. But yh, your observation about the languages is very interesting and accurate.. fascinating isn't it?

[@crazyasalways9272]

8:19 According to most evidence, this was usually used as the most extensive. We have tried everything else to appease the gods to get rid of either this or that, typically, it was to do with famine or a invasion that they did not think they could win. But most of the time, they were volunteers, not so much that they were captives, and the main reason for that is because there was no evidence on any of the bodies that have been found through these rituals or have signs of these rituals happening. Having any kind of Restraints. An example of this is the bug bodies. Yes, they are typically found with strangulation marks. But they are also found that they are full of basically drugs. That's my way you put it. But they are also filled with very rich food. That would typically take a very long time to process as well. As many of them are either people who are very young or very old. And it's mostly sacrifice in the future for the present. For an example, if you were about to be invaded, you would see who among you would be willing. Not only that, you would also see who would have the best chance to be a good sacrifice? A way that 1 of these documentaries explained it was. You have an old man, a young girl and a pregnant woman. The best sacrifice depending on what you are doing would be the pregnant woman. Because you are sacrificing 2 lives for one and a future at that. There were a ton of documentaries about it and it's absolutely fascinating morbidly fascinating but fascinating nonetheless.

[@UrialTheDarkOne]

I'm disappointed and how much pertinent information you either left out or got wrong

[@WalesTheTrueBritons]

How typic that Wales would be left out, aren’t they always. People think Celt, they say Ireland, people say Brit, they think England. Even though, the term Celt was coined by A Welshman (Brit) and the term Brit comes from the Roman name for the people the English call Welsh. Why does this constantly happen to those of Wales. It’s almost as if they need to be written out of history.

[@lindathomas5500]

Don’t worry Cornwall was too lol.. We are so used to it though! 😆 I actually watched a three part documentary about celts last year, they covered all the celts at length over the three episodes of an hour each, all except Cornwall that had a five minute mention, I kid you not.. five minutes just before the end of the last episode. 😀

[@lindathomas5500]

Ps the irony is a dna study was done a couple of years ago that showed that the Cornish and Welsh were the oldest and purest Britons, and yet each of us both seem to be written out of documentaries on celts often! 😂

The conclusion of this video is completely incorrect. The Celtic way of life continued throughout the British Isles until the Roman invasion of southern Britain. It continued untouched in Scotland, Man and Ireland after the Roman province of Britannia was established in what is now England and re-established in Wales and Kernow after the Romans left. We're still here with our customs, our rag-trees, our tartans and our language, even if the the world is unaware of how deep the blood still runs in some places. Saor Alba gu bràth.

Much of what people (who don't speak Irish and haven't researched properly) know about the Celts came from their enemies. To this day many lies in modern archaeology still exist. Especially in England where they consider that history begins with the Saxons! Celts are never referred to and simply termed 'Iron age man' etc.

[@Sgt.chickens]

Nobody conssiders history beggining with the saxons. And anyone with a real education knows the word "celtic" has no meaning to them. The celts did not operate as one culture or people. They didnt even speak all the same language or follow the same gods. Nor were they the first people in the british isles. The welsh are wrongly considered to be purely celts today. But they are pre-celtic.

[@TineBeo]

@@Sgt.chickens British Isles is such an insulting term in Ireland. At no stage was the British culture native to Ireland.. The Irish were also pre-Celt however there are strong arguments, through DNA research as well as through archaeological finds to suggest that Celtic culture was influenced from earlier Irish (Goidelic) and Welsh (Brythonic) sister cultures. In art as well as technology. Its basically not all from East to West. The Celts were as much 'people' as were 'the Vikings'..who actually shared some Gods in Common too. When you follow the linguistic paths its clear who the Celts were and are still albeit every culture is a hodge podge now. The Goidelic (Q Celts) and Brythonic (P Celts) peoples who brought us Irish (Gaeilge) from which Scottish (Gaelic/Gallic na hAlban) and Manx (Mannanais) and the Brythonic branch of Welsh to Cornish to Breton are certainly Celts and most of whom identify as such, whether from pre-Celtic people (Beaker etc) or not. Their Gods were all very similar so your point about that is wrong. Their Gods were as unified as most cultures in ancient Europe whose pantheon changed regularly enough. Saxons in Britain are credited with a (loose) cultural title (Angles barely mentioned) and politics has dictated the everything before them aren't worthy as it makes for an uncomfortable colonial story to some.. The term Celtic to refer to genetics and people of Ireland ancient Britain is far more accurate a description than those to whom the moniker 'Roman' is happily ascribed. For example..but noone has a problem with that..

[@Sgt.chickens]

@@TineBeo mate. The word british goes back to before anyone of ireland or britain today existed. There was no such thing as ireland or england at this stage. So no its not. The earliest depiction matching it we can find is Phonecians. Who called the largest island "Bratanac" The british isles is a geographical term. So i dont really care if some random irish guy gets upset about it. Most people call them the british isles and most people generally acceot that its a geographical terms not a Political one. It doeant have anything to do with the british empire. If it was called the king of englands isles or something i could underatand. But the biggest island is called great britain. As in. The greateat island among the britain islands. The earlieat irish people were brittonic.

[@TineBeo]

@@Sgt.chickens So much of what you said there is innacurrate that I can't debate with you. The term is political. For one..check it out. Great Britain comes from Greater Britain, to refer to the inclusion of the Gaelic people/land of Alba. As Scotland was Gaelic after the Picts and the Brithonic people were to the South they could not be called British therefor..Great Britain meaning Greater Britain.. do some research. Only English and Americans say British Isles. It is not a correct term. Britain and Ireland are the islands. It is not an accepted archipeligo. The earliest Irish people were 'Brittonic'! Sorry but you haven't a clue now, clearly. You must be English.

[@Sgt.chickens]

@@TineBeo the earliest irish people were not britonic i used the wrong word. But they were british as in from the isles. Also britain and america callong them the british isles makes them the british isles. There are well over 100 islands. Ireland is just one of them. And does not control a majority of the share. Why should ireland have any say in what we call them? If we were irish we would call them the irish isles. But were not. Deal with it, do you tell Japanese peolle they are wrong for saying Nihon instead of Japan?
