The Celts did not belong to a single nation. They were a collection of Celtic-speaking tribes scattered across Europe, from Spain to Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). Photo: Pinterest. They once occupied much of ancient Europe. Around 400 BC, Celtic culture spread from the British Isles, France, Switzerland to the regions of Central Europe. Photo: Pinterest.
The Celts did not leave behind many written records. Much of what we know about the Celts today comes from Roman and Greek records, making Celtic history somewhat legendary. Photo: Pinterest. They were famous for being fierce warriors. The Celts fought almost naked, and they dyed their bodies blue with woad dye to terrify their enemies. Photo: Pinterest. Celtic women had considerable power. They were allowed to inherit property, lead tribes, and even lead armies into battle, like Queen Boudicca in England. Photo: Pinterest.
Celtic beliefs were closely linked to nature. The Celts worshipped rivers, forests, the sun and fertility gods, symbolizing harmony with the earth and sky. Photo: Pinterest. The Druids were their intellectual class. They served as priests, scholars, and judges, and passed down knowledge orally rather than writing it down. Photo: Pinterest. Celtic art was elaborate and abstract. The spiral patterns and curved lines on jewelry and weapons reflected their unique aesthetic thinking. Photo: Pinterest.
Celtic languages still exist today. Irish, Welsh and Breton in France are direct descendants of the ancient Celtic language family. Photo: Pinterest. Dear readers, please watch the video : Origin of civilization / VTV2
