I wish I could time travel just to go back and see the people in history and how they lived, today there are so many cultures to learn and appreciate, makes me want to do more traveling!

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.

The Celts have the most distinctive and beautiful aesthetics of all native cultures. Although I love the Germanic and Norse peoples cuz of my native relation to that ethnicity, I still gotta give the Celts the most credit in terms of what they accomplished and how they've managed to grow to this very day through modern Cetlic people. It's honorable.

Love for the Celts. In the northern part of my homeland Tuscany there's a beautiful historical reconstruction of a miced etruscan-celtic village. Also, roman-celtic culture in France and Britain was fascinating.

As an indo European from Russia I find the Celts fascinating

I think it is Julius greatest shame to have treated Vercingetorix not with honour while in prison.

The term 'Celtic' was an invention of the 18th Century claims Dr Simon James

11:18 the Boii gave their name to Bohemia ( actual Czech Republic) so your map put them too much to the west in the territory of the Vengiones... some Boii were in Aquitania since the Cimbri and Teutones campaigns but it was a small fraction of them.

The image you use at 2.54 is from New Grange in Ireland. The carvings were made at least two thousand years before the Celts reached Ireland. So its not Celtic.
The death of Vercingetorix ( 20:44 ) didnt mark the end of the Celts resistance against Rome. The Romans hadnt even started their conquest of Britannia at that point. Resistance continued against the Romans, for hundreds of years after this. The Romans never managed to conquer the whole of Britain.

To add the spiral and the Celtic knot are different, the spiral represent the great mother to this day and also the Celtic knot is a intricate knot of spirals, that represent the journey of life. The Celtic people still exist today. I for one identify as a Anglo-Celtic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The badass native people that's who they are 🤘

For the most thorough & important writings on the Celts I strongly urge everyone read “Not In His Image”, (the 15 year anniversary edition) by John Lamb Lash.

Love all this history man, I can just never remember any of it haha. When am playing games with family and I get asked questions about stuff like this I can never remember 😢

[Jeff-fctw]

I am swiss and the wicker man story reminds me a lot of the burning of the böögg(a giant wooden statue) each year in zürich, switzerland. It is supposed to end winter. The time it takes for the head to explode is supposed to tell how good or bad summer will be. Taranis was one of the celtic weather deities. I never made the connection and i guess not many other people did yet because this is not common knowledge, the annual burning supposedly started in the 16th century according to wiki. It is really hard to find good material about the celts. More people in switzerland identify with germanic or roman history, but the celts who were predominant and shaping the countries past for a long time are left out because of little writing available. More of that :)

Celtic Culture developed in Britain and Armorica and Ireland around 2500 bce. It dominated all of Europe around 900 bce.

Boudica's husband King Prasutagus wasn't killed in battle against the Romans.
The Iceni had already been conquered when he died.

"Chinese porcelain and silks found on Greek and Celtic noble and upperclass graves"? Which means that Europe has already been connected to China and vice versa? Interesting!
