  • Fairly impartial, though the Celts themselves did not come from Britain and 'England' did not exist at that time, the land it now occupies was known as Logress. The Britons were of a culture cousined to the Celts and had given rise to Druidism amongst the Celts who revered Britain in much the same way as many do the Holy lands today. Also a great reason for the collapse of Celtic culture, especially towards the end, was financial bankrupcy as much as Roman conquest

    I think one reason for the collapse of Celtic culture is that the Druids discouraged the writing down, ( and, hence the preservation) of the language. The Druids wanted everything passed down by word of mouth so that they could have monopoly on the culture. Thus, we have precious little knowledge of Gaulish. This is a tragedy for us linguists, who seek to examine in detail the histories of all languages. Without Gaulish, we only have the Insular languages Welsh,Gaelic, to study.
