@coirpeach1 Also, I am curious to know more about the Deise tribe, if I may ask. I'm always interested to hear of Irish history, especially from someone who lives in Ireland, because it seems to me that most of the historians who speak on this subject are british or american, but I always prefer to hear a story told by people who are close to it. .
@coirpeach1 Also, when we look at Caesar's account of the Gauls, we see that they worshipped two gods called Ogmios and Lugos. The Irish had Ogma and Lugh, and their attributes pretty much match the Gaulish gods. There was a gaulish town called "Lugdunum". "Dun", of course, fits perfectly, as does "Lug". The romans always attempted to romanize every non-latin name they encountered, which is why gaulish words always sound more like latin, but the root is still to be seen.
@coirpeach1 Also, I mean no offense, but I think you may have been lied to about the idea that there are no Celtic artifacts from Ireland. They have found gold torques of plainly Celtic type. Also, Irish-style brooches have been found in Gaul. Some of them look near-identical to the Tara brooch, though less elaborate. Then, there's the leather celtic-style long shield found in Ireland, and all the la-tene style decoration found on standing stones and artifacts.
@coirpeach1 I think historians studying the Gaels should spend more time studying the Irish monastic writings, and talking to well-informed people, instead of presenting roman opinion as if it were truth. I love the book of invasions, both battles of Moytura, and of course the Tain. Apart from being great stories, they have real historical value in my opinion. I think most academic types ignore this evidence because it was written down by christians.
@coirpeach1 I think that the Irish Gaels came together from several different tribes (Tuatha De Danaan, Partholonian, Nemedian, Fir Bolg, Milesian, and maybe even the Fomoire), all of which could understand one another's language, meaning that they at least fit into the same language group. I think this only because that's what the book of invasions says. Despite their similarities, they were all unique, and they came together to make a unique people.
@coirpeach1 Also, I don't believe that the Celts "Invaded" Ireland and took it over. I think that there is a trend by historians these days to portray the ancient gaels as conquerers who ruthlessly expanded by exterminating other cultures...except that there seems to be no real evidence for this view, as far as I can tell. I think this view is propagated by anti-Irish or pro-Ulster-scots historians as an excuse.
@coirpeach1 And thank you for the compliment. I am interested in your opinion as well, because I have no bias towards anything other than truth. I can understand why a proud Irishman would want to reject the label of "Celtic" when it has been so bastardized by so many groups...from new-agers to corporations and many others...I'm just saying I still believe it is based on something that was real long before anyone made up a name for it.
@coirpeach1 Also, for the record, I agree with you that the british should get the hell out of Ireland, but consider this: They would NEVER be able to occupy northern Ireland without all their transplanted loyalists...thing is, most of them are scots! Even if you totally reject the idea of "Celticity", they are still basically Gaels, right? I think that showing how these two cultures are related would help to unite Ireland. Am I totally wrong here?
@coirpeach1 the thing is that when most people say "Celtic", what they really mean is "Gaulish", because those are the people that the Romans referred to as Celts. I have been doing research and talking to people on this subject because I think it is completely misunderstood. I am planning to write a book, but one which is free of theorizing completely. It is not my intention to undermine the uniqueness of Ireland, but to learn about where that uniqueness came from.
@coirpeach1 I understand, and I respect that. It is an ugly subject, and I completely understand that the Gaels were never conquered, no matter what some people say. Although I am an american, I am Irish on both sides of my family, and most of the rest is Scottish. As you are a republican, I think we would agree on a lot of things here. The only place we differ is that I think the "Celtic" grouping has at least some basis in reality, though each nation within it is unique.
@coirpeach1 and the only reason I am trying to convince you is because it pains me to see a fellow Gael renouncing their celtic heritage. I think that, like most, you have been presented with the lies of your conquerors, but I tell you that you are not a descendant of some cro-magnon caveman, but part of a proud and ancient culture that no empire has ever beaten without pitting it against itself. Now, they seek to erase even the identity of the free people through distorted history.
@coirpeach1 So I think it is fairly obvious that the Gaedhils were Galician Celts who migrated to Ireland and later to Scotland, while the Welsh, Cornish, and Bretons are more closely related to the continental Celts. They were not related by DNA to begin with. They were related by culture rather than blood.
I read your statement that scientists could find no trace of the Celtic DNA in Ireland...this can be explained. They have not taken into account the difference between Gaedhils(Gaels) and Gaills (Gauls), a distinction long identified in Irish legend and literature.
The linguistic remains of Gaulish, like the remains of Pictish, bear a striking similarity to Welsh. It is a fact that the Gaels came to Ireland from Spain. Also, it is written that the languages of Gaul and Britain differed little.
@12hiddendragons The DNA matter makes it tricky, but it doesn't HAVE to mean that just because their genetic ancestry is not directly from the Gallic mainland that they are not ethnically Celtic. The more Celticity is being researched the more a new paradigm is emerging suggesting that what we classify as 'Celtic' was once widespread over all of Europe nearly in Prehistoric times as a Pan-European commonality.It is just that we associate the Celts with the historical emergence.
@Awenek Exactly. All I've been saying is that it was a cultural group, not so much a distinct race. When I say "Celt", I am not referring just to the people in Gaul that caesar fought, unlike most. I am referring to all Celts, from Ireland to Turkey. I base that on the fact that there has never been one set of physical features that define a Celt, at least not one that anyone can agree on.
@12hiddendragons Linguistically, ethnically, archaeologically and culturally the Celts are unified but to pint them down genetically is impossible. As it was put once by another scholar, the Celts are a hazy area in European terms. There definitely isn't a certain 'look', those sort of traits are merely cosmetic in genetic terms and can be found everywhere, from east to west, north and south. But we know there are different populations that can be defined as 'Celtic'.
@Awenek also, I am always suspicious of migration theories derived from DNA evidence, but genetic science has identified a gene that can be called "Celtic", that being R1B, so I am afraid I must revise my earlier hypothesis and say that Celticity is and was both a race and a culture, or perhaps a culture which is not limited by race.
@12hiddendragons Irish people are descendent from a race of people that where Proto celts like they werent quite celts but where almost celts its hard to explain.
@coirpeach1 The fact that the Celts themselves did not officially recognize the connections between themselves until a couple hundred years ago does not change the fact that this cultural connection existed in the first place. They just didn't have a name for it. We are talking about people who were too independent to ever fully unite, but the similarities between the seven celtic nations are plain as day.
it isn't that the Celtic identity is fake, it's just misperceived.
@coirpeach1 I mean, who would want to be associated with those people who the romans say sacrificed hundreds in giant wicker men, pillaged Europe from Spain to Turkey, and killed without mercy for pure enjoyment? Except that this is all untrue...
Of course, you cannot trust what the Romans said about their enemies, as any fool can see that most of their written history is pure propaganda.
"Celtic" is just a convenient label for a culturally connected group of nations.
@coirpeach1 I think the reason many people feel that the Celtic "label" is not valid is very simple. It's because they have been told so many lies about their ancestors that they mistake the lies for truth...and so they reject all. Let's face it, the textbook version of "Celtic history" makes us look like a mixture of savage killers, religious fanatics, drunken criminals, and cowardly terrorists. This is because elites in Europe do not want to encourage any potential separatism.
@coirpeach1 Now, as for the Basques, I believe that they belong in the same group with Ireland, Scotland, and the other five. This is because the Book of Invasions, the beginning-point of Irish history, says that the last wave of migration to Ireland came from Spain, and they came to be dominant on the island.
Check the DNA evidence and, sure enough! Basques and Irish are found to be near-identical in genetics.
This is why I think the Celtic identity is not false.
@coirpeach1 However, I have come to totally agree with you that the Gaels are descended from the original inhabitants of Europe. As near as I can tell, those people that the romans and greeks referred to as Keltoi WERE the original inhabitants of Europe. Now, I know that we are told otherwise, that the Picts and Basques were there first...However, all the pictish inscriptions show that their language was almost identical to Welsh, and they are described in a way similar to the Celts.
@coirpeach1 out of curiosity, I have read a bit on the idea that the Gaels are descendants of Cro-magnon man.
I am curious if you are aware that this exact same idea was promoted by 19th-century Victorian English Evolutionists, who said that the Irish were a lesser form of human related to Cro-Magnon man, while the English were supposedly descended from the smarter "Orthognathous" man. This is a textbook example of how evolution is intimately tied with racism and colonization.
and for the record, all you Nazis need to shut up and realize that the whole theory of the "master race" is stupid and grounded only in racist fantasy. Whether you apply it to the Germanic peoples, the Celtic peoples, or any other, it is stupid and has no basis in reality whatsoever.
Seriously, peoples. Pride in your heritage doesn't mean you have to hate everyone else.
@coirpeach1 just to throw this out there: In old Irish histories and legends, the Gaedhels (Irish and Scottish) and Gaills (Gauls) are referred to as distinctive races, but shared a similar language. The same was said of the Fir Bolg and Tuatha De Danaan. Isn't it possible that we are talking about multiple bloodlines related by a similar culture?
For the record, I agree with you that it is fraudulent to associate the Irish with the Gauls, but I think there is a cultural relation.
@JordoF6 To be a "Celt" has nothing to do with DNA. The most ancient of writings speak of the Celts as a diverse people, with a fairly wide array of biological features. For instance, old Irish writings speak of people with red hair, blond hair, brown hair, and black hair. They also speak of people with various eye colors. The writings of the Romans give a similar picture. There never was one unified celtic bloodline, just a shared culture with near-infinite variations on it.
There are hundreds of celtic tribes try finding out wich one you descend from :S
I think i descend from the Belgae cuz i'm Belgian xD
But the belgae weren't a solid unit at all.... it's a mixture of celts (at the coast of Belgium and in Britain) and Germanic tribes (also Belgae) like the nervii are germanics.

@222macgregor unique? in what way? All evidence says that they spoke a Bythonic language similar to modern Welsh. They are described as going into battle painted blue, crazed and screaming. This same description is used by Caesar to describe a tribe of Gaulish Celts called the Pictones. You can see them on the map in this very video.
Based on my own research, I believe that the Caledonians were Gaels from Western Scotland and Ireland, while the Picts were Brythonic Celts.
1st. being a celt= FUUUCCCCCKKYYYEEEAAAAA!!!!!!! 2nd celct where pushed by the romans from gaul to north spain and to west france aka brittany, they where already living in britian and then the sons of mil went to ireland "as the legend goes" and conquered the fir bolg and interbred with the tuatha de danann. the last celtic nations today are Erie Kernow Cymru Alba Briezh and Mannin, also there are disputed celts i spain. yes those are the CELTIC names i do not recognize englands interpretation
@founderofleadings and found Ireland, scotland, and wales. The three biggest celtic nations. And rome never conquered Ireland, so they flourished there. There's your explanation.
@founderofleadings they originated in central europe, what is now france, northern italy, spain, etc. At the time it was called gaul. The celtic tribes that would later inhabit ireland were the first race to sack the city of rome from the "mighty" romans. This caused the romans to become enraged, when they developed their advanced battle technology at the time, they went across gaul and exterminated all celts and anything they could find of their culture. The celts used boats to cross the sea ^
We do not know where the Celts originated and there are multiple theories but all we know for sure is Northern Spaniards (from Galicia and Austrias), Irish, Scottish, Manx, Cornish, and Welsh are all Celts or atleast descendants.
We should be proud of who we are, stick together and not fight over where we originate from.
The Vatican WANTS us to stay down and not unite, they put a lot of effort into dismembering our tribes.
@founderofleadings A new theory offered by ( head of Celtic studies ) John T Koch, is that "Tartessian" spoken in ancient Iberia, could be the oldest "so far" found Celtic language and culture.
@Nemeton212 But the thing is, did the Celts migrate here? Or did they just start here?
As I have heard theories that the Celts might have left the isles due to the ice age and settled in Iberia which was unfrozen and all they had back in the isles was destroyed.
@founderofleadings I have been trying to work this out for a year :) Although genetics have come a long way i don't think they they can answer everything. There is evidence of flooding in the Isles which was part of doggerland. According to Professor Koch when the "people of the Isles" were settled in Britain and Ireland, there were two Celtic tribes living in Iberia, one was called Albion's and another Britonians....bit of a coincidence there.
@DePaulProd This is Celtic music! It isn't the usual cliche 'Irish/Scottish' stuff that the masses assumes MUST be 'Celtic', but it is in the essentials.
@rekindling1 We do still carry the viking blood, its a decent adimixture, but its Our Celtic blood that makes us winners, Victory or Death is our battle cry. We are the infernous lambent flame that illumines the abyss of this world & its fallen, honour-less decrepit modern societies.
We are Glorious over all others, sublime majesty dwells within us. We're already lofty divine warriors, artists & poets. We just have to awaken & indeed CONQUER & reclaim Our lands.
@Hellwyr Sorry I dont understand moron-ish, im not familiar with that dialect. Now to educate you. The norse blood is still present in a small yet substantial part of the Irish genepool, that being said our DNA is still overwhelmingly of Gaelic stock. Same goes for Cymru & Kernow(brythonic) with Alba baring more norse in north and east especially. Im far from poor in mentality. Think like what?
We celts, proud as peacocks, heads held high as princes. Vainglorious and understandably so.
@Hellwyr PS. I would put your head to the fucking sword if you stepped outta line in my presence. Vae Victis is latin so well observed, old boy. But I'll leave you with a celtic phrase Póg mo Thóin! Gobshite.
lol... if u think there is something as celtic blood go home.. nazi.... all humans share the same blood and wow... its red.. O.o... and another thing genetically u may be closer to an african than to ur neighbor, so dont act as if u knew science. .....so celtic is a culture nothing more and nothing less the difference is that they resepct humanity and everything around them.....
so dont tarnish teh celtic reputation with ur nazi nonsense... thanks
I am French, we have a region to call "Brittany" which speaks about the "Breton" and which is one of Celtic languages, moreover she(it) has of numerous resemblance with Gaëlic, and the former(ancient) Gaul.
@zeerot53 I am curious, do you think the Gaulish culture has survived in any form whatsoever? The usual story is that the Bretons are people who migrated from Britain, but I couldn't help but notice that their language sounds a lot like French. I know a little french, and a little Irish (not fluent in either) but even I can see many similarities and even words with exactly the same meanings!
Basically, I am asking for a French opinion on it. Do you think there are any Gauls left?
@Jeykob3 I think the main basis for Rome's extermination of Celtic civilization throughout Europe stems from the Celtic invasion and occupation of Rome in 390 B.C.E. That event traumatized the Romans, it was their Sept. 11th, and it set the 'logic' for all future actions in dealing with and confronting the Celts. Culturally, the Romans grew to despise all things Gallic or Celtic and sought to exterminate or Romanize them where ever they could find them.
Not really , Gauls were like USA today or Germany during WW2 they were the most powerful , Julius Ceaser knew that if he defeat the gauls he'll get a glory without limits , yes the gaulish led by Brennos humiliated Rome in 390BC but in 290BC they also asskicked the greeks, Hannibal also suffered from the gauls when he passed by the south of France , even Alexander the Great well he didn't really fear them but he never wanted to fight them because he wasn't sure about him.
After that he met a gaulish ambassador , he asked this question , what do you feat the most ? Alexander exected the answer "you " , the gaulish responded , we fear nothing exept that the sky falls on our heads lol
But you're right that the fall of Rome traumatized them , when Brennos arrived to Rome the legions tryied to face him but they run away when they heard the gaulish war screams loool theu gaul screaming were so powerful that the romans thought they were atleast 200 000 but they were less than 20 000 lol and they run away , hiding in a fortified building . The Gauls charged the city killing everybody , Children , old men ,women while the roman soldiers were hidden lol
@Awenek Am I the only one who's thought about restoring Celtic glory? Making the world Celtic fearful to outsiders like it used to? Honestly, a Celtic domination of land and being fierce and feared warriors would be amazing.
@009jorge1 You're not the only one, Ive forseen in dreams these happenings. I truly believe without doubt it is Our inevitable immense destiny. We are a river flowing, no beginning nor end. When are waters become fierce once more our domination and wrath will be felt by all who shall tremble when "Celt" is whispered among them.
@Awenek Am I the only one who's thought about restoring Celtic glory? Making the world Celtic fearful to outsiders like it used to? Honestly, a Celtic domination of land and being fierce and feared warriors would be amazing.
@Awenek exterminated? That's a strange assertion, considering that Celtic culture has long outlived Roman culture. You are very correct, though, in comparing 9-11 to the Gaulish sacking of rome. Have you ever wondered why Gallic chieftains would speak Latin (proclaiming "Vae Victus", etc.)?
To put it simply, conquerors usually need an excuse for their conquering, since imperialism is distasteful to all decent people. If there isn't a good one, they will invent one.
@coirpeach1 It was the Millesian people who ousted the Tuatha De Danann. They were most likely a people that exsisted before the Celts pushed into Gaul and Spain.
@coirpeach1 This man has the right of it. In fact recent archaelogical research shows they probably didn't invade Britain either. We Irish are Irish, we had many tribes and names for ourselves; Men of Erin being one. We were known as the Scotti to the Romans and it is from us that the Scots come from; their country is even named after us due to large invasions, genocide and colonisation. As for the Vikings, Viking like Scotti means raider.
@coirpeach1 the original Celts in Ireland had Brown hair, black hair or light brown...after the Norse settlements by the Vikings in Eastern Ireland then came the blondes and redheads
If you google Walter Bodmer you might be able to find some links to the new genetics study

Atlantis? Now your asking Well I have wondered if Briton/Ireland was Atlantis and the tsunami that hit the North east of Scotland and covered doggerland might have got mixed up with a tale about an island in the Atlantic sinking.
Its always been a bit confusing about what the term 'celt' means and whether the tribes on Briton and Ireland were related to 'celts' in Austria.
I've at least known that there was a rare blood group found among the basques which is what I suspect most of the standing stone raising tribes here had so I'm not suprised they are finding an iberian/gaelic keltic connection.
@greenmagoos There was found to be no genetic link between the Continental Celts and those in the Isles meaning that Celticization was spread culturally and through commerce only. The old idea of an invasion has been discounted on archeological grounds, since all evidence is lacking. This means that the Celts of Europe, in general, must have been a process starting during the Stone-Age sometime, which is a quite fascinating thought. The Basques share in having the oldest DNA with the Celts.
@Awenek Not an invasion no, they left from Iberia (specifically Galicia) after the ice age ended. Iberia was not covered in ice and had livable conditions. Now I'm not saying all of them left of course some stayed in Iberia
@Awenek Anyways why would people want to give up their religion and culture to another just like that? They would be forced or else it would never work.
"with the Basque people who originated in northern Iberia during the Paleolithic. "But it is still unclear whether the link is specific to the Celts and the Basques, or whether they are both simply the closest surviving relatives of the early population of Europe"
" the Silures usually had a dark complexion and curly hair. Due to their appearance, Tacitus hinted that they may have crossed over from Spain at an earlier date. Genetic studies carried out by University College London, Oxford University and the University of California have suggested that most Welsh and Irish Celts share in part (Y-chromosomes, mtDNA) - cont
@PiarasFeiritear There are so many good studies on Celtic history, mythology and language out now, more than ever before. The University of Wales' 'A Celtic Cultural Encyclopedia' is a brilliant work and place to start though expensive. My main advice is to stick with any book that is written by scholars because otherwise non-Celticists seem to deviate from the known facts and data and are guided by their own personal agendas.
@bigbillbob88 I think you need to do some research on the Celts. Your knowledge is lacking severely. There are ONLY Celtic peoples shown on this video. I suggest you do some study before making such foolish comments. Tasting one's foot must get very yucky after a while. If you want to discuss the Celts with me, we can do so in Welsh or Cornish perhaps? You can contribute to my PhD in Celtic someday....maybe? :-) Diolch yn fawr iawn cyfaill.
@bigbillbob88 I think your Gaelic is a little wrong and incorrect here, but good try. Google Translate isn't ideal for Celtic languages, and it gets them wrong since the grammar and mutation systems are a little complex. Dydych chi'n ysgrif neu siarad yn nGelteg? Nage. Mae'n ddrwg dy fi. :-(
@Awenek well since you cant actully speak a Celtic language i will have to use english. Its Scots Gaelic retard, you speak welsh and cornish well done not a Celtic language and google translate doesnt have a gaelic scots translation. soooo BOOOM!!!!
@bigbillbob88 I do not know who you are, or think you are, but I am fluent in Celtic languages and the lame attempt you gave me had shown how incapable you are. The first Celtic language I learned was Scottish Gaelic as a matter of fact, and THAT is not it! Sorry to tell you that. Now please stop your trolling or I will have to take action. Retard describes your behavior, ignorance over Celtic matters and terrible linguistic abilities. Welsh and Cornish are Celtic, but you wouldn't know this.
@falconXmidget I had to initially teach myself Scottish Gaelic twenty years ago, and then from there I gained access to Irish Gaelic materials, then Cornish and finally Welsh. At the University of Wales I took a graduate course in Cymraeg which really drilled home the languages. Since then I specialize in Brythonic and Gaulish Celtic and my Goidelichas become rusty. Presently I am mastering Breton to complete the Brythonic 'set'. I am an American too by the way!
@chica476 Yeah, I see what you mean. The painting is portraying the Norman occupation of Ireland with an Irish warrior collecting heads after a battle. The Irish were still doing that ancient Celtic practice far into the late Middle-Ages.
The Celtic civilization encompassed more than Rome could ever do...
Shame the Celts never thought to develop military tactics or weaponology in general... perhaps then: the Celts would not have been slaughtered so mercilessly by the Germanic tribes/ Roman Legionnaires; Gaelic, or whatever The Celts spoke, would be more widespread than it is now. Still, a lovely piece of culture, I must confess. Interestingly enough, The Celts began trading with the Babylonians before those germanic niggers did.
@chica476 The Continental Celts spoke Gaulish for the most part, Lepontic in Italy, Celtiberian in Spain and Portugal, and Brittonic in Britain and Gaelic in Ireland. But very true, they should have been able to strengthen what they had to fend off the Romans, Germans and all else. Then our Western Civilization would have been a dominantly Celtic one and we would be speaking derivatives of Insular and Continental Celtic predominantly. Imagine America speaking forms of Modern Gaulish.
@chica476 Of course! Those groups compose the Germanic culture of Antiquity. As a Celtic scholar, I am used to simplifying those cultures. They spoke Germanic languages and embodied what we know and understand as a commonality that sprung from the same Germanic group of peoples.
What were the entire groups of celts?All i am aware of are the britons, gauls, picts, scots, and gaels, are there others? I know the celts spanned till the anatolia...
@chica476 Gauls, Galatians, Celtiberians, Britons, Gaels, and Picts (if we go with the theory that they were in fact a Celtic derived culture). Then there were the fusion or hybrid cultures that merged with the Celts: Gallo-Romans, Romano-British, Hellenic-Gauls and Celto-Ligurians. The Rhine also seemed to have been a middle ground between Germanic tribes and Celtic, giving way to a fusion of those two groups, possibly best seen in the Belgic confederation of tribes.
@chica476 Yes, the Celts were widely settled in Eastern Europe. Their placenames dot the many countries and fringe upon the lower Steppes of Russia. Galicia derives its name from the Galatians, as does the Romanian port town of Galati. The have been recent and amazing finds and research done on the Eastern Celts in the last decade.
It is now speculated, that the proto- baltio-slavs were from the plains in Russia. And the Finno-ugric, from the Ural mountains, hence, the term, uralic languages/people.
@chica476 I agree with those theories even though I am not a Slavic or Finno-Ugric scholar. The cultural and ethnic links to the Scythians and Cimmerians in the Black Sea region are showing a closer relation to those groups more and more. It seems almost easier to locate the place of origin to these groups than the proto-Celtic peoples lately. Whether Spain, Western Germany/Austria or even the British Isles....
If you guys are interested In irish clans check out my page and the video on the McMahon clan descendants of Brian Boru, Im planning to make more videos soon on other Irish clans
Also just for the sake of saying it, 2:01 = statue of Ambiorix, a king of a belgic tribe called the Eburones. The statue now stands in the town Tongeren, where he was supposed to live following archeological evidence or atleast around those parts.
The Gauls may have been couragous fighters but the truth is they were also foolish. They had no sound battle strategies. They did not fight in formation andsimply relied on that inial charge.
@Kingofsomething87 That's a fair bit generalising, you also have to keep in mind what their approach to battle was, their equipment, who led them etc. Foolish or not, they did carve out a good lot of victories against the Roman empire, as far as I see it, the only thing that made the Romans give their unstable empire was the constant infighting among the tribes. As the saying went "Divide and conquer", they knew it themselves all too well.
@Taurus9252@TheHyperboreanzenith .. new DNA testing has shown the Welsh and Irish to blood brothers of the Basque.The males also share the same Y chromosome, which has also "shown" to be a Ancient one.
Maybe the Celts were later incoming tribes, who also shared the same R1b ?.
*
If they all came from the SAME culture and made land in separate areas at different times they would all have similar chromosome tags. They would all have similar high intelligence and engineering skills. Atlantis.
@TheHyperboreanzenith i would be very interested in that! my mother was born in scotland and my dads family comes from their too. I know my clans are Maclean and Malcolm, but ive no idea what the iron age tribes were so that would be very interesting indeed.
"During World War II, a discovery was made that only recently has received meticulous research. A couple of doctors in medical centers in England noticed that there was a feature of Scots and Welsh soldiers wounded in battle that was not present with English, Germans, and other nationalities. The former frequently had a big toe (or great toe) that was the same length as the next toe; all others had great toes markedly longer."
@greenmagoos It is odd you say that, I have the same problem and always wondered if it was normal or not? Now I know if must be a distinctive genetic marker from the Brythonic and mixed-Brythonic groups. Looking at my toes now, they are exactly the same! Weird but I guess good to know that my ancestry is intact once again.
im 20 and when i was a kid everyone used to have a phrase about if your toe was the same length you had cooties in elementary school or where gay in high school depending on school.
thatd be cool if that was why thats forever been an unsolved medical mystery to me
@greenmagoos I'd assume Irish as well, as I'm an Irish American and my family has the same trait, granted the Irish were technically neutral during wwii
Aye nae wonder they were neutral. Would you go and fight besides a load of anglo-saxon huns fighting germanic nazi huns when they divided and conquered your land and forced Hook nosed King Billy and his banker jews on you?
@greenmagoos Spanish aswell, my family is spanish and we all have the trait, and its been discovered that the celts originated from galicia spain, galicia means the land of the gaelic
@009jorge1 There is a going present theory that says that the Gallic culture spread from Spain onto the rest of Europe in the prehistoric period through trade and transmission. So you are not incorrect. It is an old theory too, but it has since been revamped. Galicia means either, 'Land of the Galatians' or 'Land of the Callaeci' (A native Celtiberian tribe).
lol dont give me that crap.... just call urself celt and be happy instead of mking up some racist nazi crap.... yeah and ll with a big eye are pirates.... a germn doctor says ... omg
No I'm not sure if mortons/keltic toe would be normally classed as 'viking'. Its certainly found among keltic groups who I wouldn't class as viking and on greek/roman statues and paintings by most of the classic renaissance artists- check out the longer 2nd toe on John the Baptist in the wilderness by Da Vinci for one exp.
I wouldn't class vikings as being anything other than related to indo-european aryan asiatic mongol huns who migrated into central europe circa 300AD- well after 'celts' in central europe, iberian/kelts and the 'original tribes In Briton/ Ireland.
They definitely have different blood- lol- viking monkey chimpanzees
@coirpeach1 Also, I am curious to know more about the Deise tribe, if I may ask. I'm always interested to hear of Irish history, especially from someone who lives in Ireland, because it seems to me that most of the historians who speak on this subject are british or american, but I always prefer to hear a story told by people who are close to it. .

@coirpeach1 Also, when we look at Caesar's account of the Gauls, we see that they worshipped two gods called Ogmios and Lugos. The Irish had Ogma and Lugh, and their attributes pretty much match the Gaulish gods. There was a gaulish town called "Lugdunum". "Dun", of course, fits perfectly, as does "Lug". The romans always attempted to romanize every non-latin name they encountered, which is why gaulish words always sound more like latin, but the root is still to be seen.

@coirpeach1 Also, I mean no offense, but I think you may have been lied to about the idea that there are no Celtic artifacts from Ireland. They have found gold torques of plainly Celtic type. Also, Irish-style brooches have been found in Gaul. Some of them look near-identical to the Tara brooch, though less elaborate. Then, there's the leather celtic-style long shield found in Ireland, and all the la-tene style decoration found on standing stones and artifacts.

@coirpeach1 I think historians studying the Gaels should spend more time studying the Irish monastic writings, and talking to well-informed people, instead of presenting roman opinion as if it were truth. I love the book of invasions, both battles of Moytura, and of course the Tain. Apart from being great stories, they have real historical value in my opinion. I think most academic types ignore this evidence because it was written down by christians.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 I think that the Irish Gaels came together from several different tribes (Tuatha De Danaan, Partholonian, Nemedian, Fir Bolg, Milesian, and maybe even the Fomoire), all of which could understand one another's language, meaning that they at least fit into the same language group. I think this only because that's what the book of invasions says. Despite their similarities, they were all unique, and they came together to make a unique people.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 Also, I don't believe that the Celts "Invaded" Ireland and took it over. I think that there is a trend by historians these days to portray the ancient gaels as conquerers who ruthlessly expanded by exterminating other cultures...except that there seems to be no real evidence for this view, as far as I can tell. I think this view is propagated by anti-Irish or pro-Ulster-scots historians as an excuse.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 And thank you for the compliment. I am interested in your opinion as well, because I have no bias towards anything other than truth. I can understand why a proud Irishman would want to reject the label of "Celtic" when it has been so bastardized by so many groups...from new-agers to corporations and many others...I'm just saying I still believe it is based on something that was real long before anyone made up a name for it.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 Also, for the record, I agree with you that the british should get the hell out of Ireland, but consider this: They would NEVER be able to occupy northern Ireland without all their transplanted loyalists...thing is, most of them are scots! Even if you totally reject the idea of "Celticity", they are still basically Gaels, right? I think that showing how these two cultures are related would help to unite Ireland. Am I totally wrong here?
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 the thing is that when most people say "Celtic", what they really mean is "Gaulish", because those are the people that the Romans referred to as Celts. I have been doing research and talking to people on this subject because I think it is completely misunderstood. I am planning to write a book, but one which is free of theorizing completely. It is not my intention to undermine the uniqueness of Ireland, but to learn about where that uniqueness came from.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 I understand, and I respect that. It is an ugly subject, and I completely understand that the Gaels were never conquered, no matter what some people say. Although I am an american, I am Irish on both sides of my family, and most of the rest is Scottish. As you are a republican, I think we would agree on a lot of things here. The only place we differ is that I think the "Celtic" grouping has at least some basis in reality, though each nation within it is unique.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 and the only reason I am trying to convince you is because it pains me to see a fellow Gael renouncing their celtic heritage. I think that, like most, you have been presented with the lies of your conquerors, but I tell you that you are not a descendant of some cro-magnon caveman, but part of a proud and ancient culture that no empire has ever beaten without pitting it against itself. Now, they seek to erase even the identity of the free people through distorted history.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 So I think it is fairly obvious that the Gaedhils were Galician Celts who migrated to Ireland and later to Scotland, while the Welsh, Cornish, and Bretons are more closely related to the continental Celts. They were not related by DNA to begin with. They were related by culture rather than blood.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
I read your statement that scientists could find no trace of the Celtic DNA in Ireland...this can be explained. They have not taken into account the difference between Gaedhils(Gaels) and Gaills (Gauls), a distinction long identified in Irish legend and literature.
The linguistic remains of Gaulish, like the remains of Pictish, bear a striking similarity to Welsh. It is a fact that the Gaels came to Ireland from Spain. Also, it is written that the languages of Gaul and Britain differed little.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@12hiddendragons The DNA matter makes it tricky, but it doesn't HAVE to mean that just because their genetic ancestry is not directly from the Gallic mainland that they are not ethnically Celtic. The more Celticity is being researched the more a new paradigm is emerging suggesting that what we classify as 'Celtic' was once widespread over all of Europe nearly in Prehistoric times as a Pan-European commonality.It is just that we associate the Celts with the historical emergence.
Awenek 4 weeks ago
@Awenek Exactly. All I've been saying is that it was a cultural group, not so much a distinct race. When I say "Celt", I am not referring just to the people in Gaul that caesar fought, unlike most. I am referring to all Celts, from Ireland to Turkey. I base that on the fact that there has never been one set of physical features that define a Celt, at least not one that anyone can agree on.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@12hiddendragons Linguistically, ethnically, archaeologically and culturally the Celts are unified but to pint them down genetically is impossible. As it was put once by another scholar, the Celts are a hazy area in European terms. There definitely isn't a certain 'look', those sort of traits are merely cosmetic in genetic terms and can be found everywhere, from east to west, north and south. But we know there are different populations that can be defined as 'Celtic'.
Awenek 4 weeks ago
@Awenek also, I am always suspicious of migration theories derived from DNA evidence, but genetic science has identified a gene that can be called "Celtic", that being R1B, so I am afraid I must revise my earlier hypothesis and say that Celticity is and was both a race and a culture, or perhaps a culture which is not limited by race.

@coirpeach1 The fact that the Celts themselves did not officially recognize the connections between themselves until a couple hundred years ago does not change the fact that this cultural connection existed in the first place. They just didn't have a name for it. We are talking about people who were too independent to ever fully unite, but the similarities between the seven celtic nations are plain as day.
it isn't that the Celtic identity is fake, it's just misperceived.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 I mean, who would want to be associated with those people who the romans say sacrificed hundreds in giant wicker men, pillaged Europe from Spain to Turkey, and killed without mercy for pure enjoyment? Except that this is all untrue...
Of course, you cannot trust what the Romans said about their enemies, as any fool can see that most of their written history is pure propaganda.
"Celtic" is just a convenient label for a culturally connected group of nations.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 I think the reason many people feel that the Celtic "label" is not valid is very simple. It's because they have been told so many lies about their ancestors that they mistake the lies for truth...and so they reject all. Let's face it, the textbook version of "Celtic history" makes us look like a mixture of savage killers, religious fanatics, drunken criminals, and cowardly terrorists. This is because elites in Europe do not want to encourage any potential separatism.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 Now, as for the Basques, I believe that they belong in the same group with Ireland, Scotland, and the other five. This is because the Book of Invasions, the beginning-point of Irish history, says that the last wave of migration to Ireland came from Spain, and they came to be dominant on the island.
Check the DNA evidence and, sure enough! Basques and Irish are found to be near-identical in genetics.
This is why I think the Celtic identity is not false.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 However, I have come to totally agree with you that the Gaels are descended from the original inhabitants of Europe. As near as I can tell, those people that the romans and greeks referred to as Keltoi WERE the original inhabitants of Europe. Now, I know that we are told otherwise, that the Picts and Basques were there first...However, all the pictish inscriptions show that their language was almost identical to Welsh, and they are described in a way similar to the Celts.
12hiddendragons 4 weeks ago
@coirpeach1 out of curiosity, I have read a bit on the idea that the Gaels are descendants of Cro-magnon man.
I am curious if you are aware that this exact same idea was promoted by 19th-century Victorian English Evolutionists, who said that the Irish were a lesser form of human related to Cro-Magnon man, while the English were supposedly descended from the smarter "Orthognathous" man. This is a textbook example of how evolution is intimately tied with racism and colonization.

@coirpeach1 just to throw this out there: In old Irish histories and legends, the Gaedhels (Irish and Scottish) and Gaills (Gauls) are referred to as distinctive races, but shared a similar language. The same was said of the Fir Bolg and Tuatha De Danaan. Isn't it possible that we are talking about multiple bloodlines related by a similar culture?
For the record, I agree with you that it is fraudulent to associate the Irish with the Gauls, but I think there is a cultural relation.

@JordoF6 To be a "Celt" has nothing to do with DNA. The most ancient of writings speak of the Celts as a diverse people, with a fairly wide array of biological features. For instance, old Irish writings speak of people with red hair, blond hair, brown hair, and black hair. They also speak of people with various eye colors. The writings of the Romans give a similar picture. There never was one unified celtic bloodline, just a shared culture with near-infinite variations on it.

@founderofleadings they originated in central europe, what is now france, northern italy, spain, etc. At the time it was called gaul. The celtic tribes that would later inhabit ireland were the first race to sack the city of rome from the "mighty" romans. This caused the romans to become enraged, when they developed their advanced battle technology at the time, they went across gaul and exterminated all celts and anything they could find of their culture. The celts used boats to cross the sea ^

@Jeykob3 I think the main basis for Rome's extermination of Celtic civilization throughout Europe stems from the Celtic invasion and occupation of Rome in 390 B.C.E. That event traumatized the Romans, it was their Sept. 11th, and it set the 'logic' for all future actions in dealing with and confronting the Celts. Culturally, the Romans grew to despise all things Gallic or Celtic and sought to exterminate or Romanize them where ever they could find them.

@greenmagoos There was found to be no genetic link between the Continental Celts and those in the Isles meaning that Celticization was spread culturally and through commerce only. The old idea of an invasion has been discounted on archeological grounds, since all evidence is lacking. This means that the Celts of Europe, in general, must have been a process starting during the Stone-Age sometime, which is a quite fascinating thought. The Basques share in having the oldest DNA with the Celts.

@bigbillbob88 I think your Gaelic is a little wrong and incorrect here, but good try. Google Translate isn't ideal for Celtic languages, and it gets them wrong since the grammar and mutation systems are a little complex. Dydych chi'n ysgrif neu siarad yn nGelteg? Nage. Mae'n ddrwg dy fi. :-(

@Awenek well since you cant actully speak a Celtic language i will have to use english. Its Scots Gaelic retard, you speak welsh and cornish well done not a Celtic language and google translate doesnt have a gaelic scots translation. soooo BOOOM!!!!
bigbillbob88 9 months ago
@bigbillbob88 I do not know who you are, or think you are, but I am fluent in Celtic languages and the lame attempt you gave me had shown how incapable you are. The first Celtic language I learned was Scottish Gaelic as a matter of fact, and THAT is not it! Sorry to tell you that. Now please stop your trolling or I will have to take action. Retard describes your behavior, ignorance over Celtic matters and terrible linguistic abilities. Welsh and Cornish are Celtic, but you wouldn't know this.

@falconXmidget I had to initially teach myself Scottish Gaelic twenty years ago, and then from there I gained access to Irish Gaelic materials, then Cornish and finally Welsh. At the University of Wales I took a graduate course in Cymraeg which really drilled home the languages. Since then I specialize in Brythonic and Gaulish Celtic and my Goidelichas become rusty. Presently I am mastering Breton to complete the Brythonic 'set'. I am an American too by the way!

@ 1:35, are actually Normans, a Germanic tribe.
chica476 1 year ago
@chica476 No, the Normans were a hybrid of Norse settlers and local French speaking natives, thus the name Nor(se)mans.
Awenek 1 year ago
@chica476 Yeah, I see what you mean. The painting is portraying the Norman occupation of Ireland with an Irish warrior collecting heads after a battle. The Irish were still doing that ancient Celtic practice far into the late Middle-Ages.

I'm pretty sure that is a norman warrior holding the head. Along with the other two warrior, whom, I am sure are also germanic normans.
chica476 10 months ago
@chica476 The one holding the head by the mound of heads is an Irish or Gaelic 'Kern' warrior under the employ of Norman lords.

The Celtic civilization encompassed more than Rome could ever do...
Shame the Celts never thought to develop military tactics or weaponology in general... perhaps then: the Celts would not have been slaughtered so mercilessly by the Germanic tribes/ Roman Legionnaires; Gaelic, or whatever The Celts spoke, would be more widespread than it is now. Still, a lovely piece of culture, I must confess. Interestingly enough, The Celts began trading with the Babylonians before those germanic niggers did.
chica476 1 year ago
@chica476 The Continental Celts spoke Gaulish for the most part, Lepontic in Italy, Celtiberian in Spain and Portugal, and Brittonic in Britain and Gaelic in Ireland. But very true, they should have been able to strengthen what they had to fend off the Romans, Germans and all else. Then our Western Civilization would have been a dominantly Celtic one and we would be speaking derivatives of Insular and Continental Celtic predominantly. Imagine America speaking forms of Modern Gaulish.

"Germans" does not make sense, you mean the goths, teutons, vandals, franks and normans, right?
chica476 1 year ago
@chica476 Of course! Those groups compose the Germanic culture of Antiquity. As a Celtic scholar, I am used to simplifying those cultures. They spoke Germanic languages and embodied what we know and understand as a commonality that sprung from the same Germanic group of peoples.

What were the entire groups of celts?All i am aware of are the britons, gauls, picts, scots, and gaels, are there others? I know the celts spanned till the anatolia...
chica476 1 year ago
@chica476 Gauls, Galatians, Celtiberians, Britons, Gaels, and Picts (if we go with the theory that they were in fact a Celtic derived culture). Then there were the fusion or hybrid cultures that merged with the Celts: Gallo-Romans, Romano-British, Hellenic-Gauls and Celto-Ligurians. The Rhine also seemed to have been a middle ground between Germanic tribes and Celtic, giving way to a fusion of those two groups, possibly best seen in the Belgic confederation of tribes.

There was another Galicia in what is now Ukraine... suppose there is any celtic connection in Eastern Europe as well?
chica476 1 year ago
@chica476 Yes, the Celts were widely settled in Eastern Europe. Their placenames dot the many countries and fringe upon the lower Steppes of Russia. Galicia derives its name from the Galatians, as does the Romanian port town of Galati. The have been recent and amazing finds and research done on the Eastern Celts in the last decade.

It is now speculated, that the proto- baltio-slavs were from the plains in Russia. And the Finno-ugric, from the Ural mountains, hence, the term, uralic languages/people.
chica476 10 months ago
@chica476 I agree with those theories even though I am not a Slavic or Finno-Ugric scholar. The cultural and ethnic links to the Scythians and Cimmerians in the Black Sea region are showing a closer relation to those groups more and more. It seems almost easier to locate the place of origin to these groups than the proto-Celtic peoples lately. Whether Spain, Western Germany/Austria or even the British Isles....

The Gauls may have been couragous fighters but the truth is they were also foolish. They had no sound battle strategies. They did not fight in formation andsimply relied on that inial charge.
Kingofsomething87 1 year ago
@Kingofsomething87 That's a fair bit generalising, you also have to keep in mind what their approach to battle was, their equipment, who led them etc. Foolish or not, they did carve out a good lot of victories against the Roman empire, as far as I see it, the only thing that made the Romans give their unstable empire was the constant infighting among the tribes. As the saying went "Divide and conquer", they knew it themselves all too well.

@Taurus9252 @TheHyperboreanzenith .. new DNA testing has shown the Welsh and Irish to blood brothers of the Basque.The males also share the same Y chromosome, which has also "shown" to be a Ancient one.
Maybe the Celts were later incoming tribes, who also shared the same R1b ?.

If they all came from the SAME culture and made land in separate areas at different times they would all have similar chromosome tags. They would all have similar high intelligence and engineering skills. Atlantis.

"During World War II, a discovery was made that only recently has received meticulous research. A couple of doctors in medical centers in England noticed that there was a feature of Scots and Welsh soldiers wounded in battle that was not present with English, Germans, and other nationalities. The former frequently had a big toe (or great toe) that was the same length as the next toe; all others had great toes markedly longer."

@greenmagoos It is odd you say that, I have the same problem and always wondered if it was normal or not? Now I know if must be a distinctive genetic marker from the Brythonic and mixed-Brythonic groups. Looking at my toes now, they are exactly the same! Weird but I guess good to know that my ancestry is intact once again.

@009jorge1 There is a going present theory that says that the Gallic culture spread from Spain onto the rest of Europe in the prehistoric period through trade and transmission. So you are not incorrect. It is an old theory too, but it has since been revamped. Galicia means either, 'Land of the Galatians' or 'Land of the Callaeci' (A native Celtiberian tribe).

No I'm not sure if mortons/keltic toe would be normally classed as 'viking'. Its certainly found among keltic groups who I wouldn't class as viking and on greek/roman statues and paintings by most of the classic renaissance artists- check out the longer 2nd toe on John the Baptist in the wilderness by Da Vinci for one exp.

I wouldn't class vikings as being anything other than related to indo-european aryan asiatic mongol huns who migrated into central europe circa 300AD- well after 'celts' in central europe, iberian/kelts and the 'original tribes In Briton/ Ireland.
They definitely have different blood- lol- viking monkey chimpanzees
