@ADOSIRE Absolutly. Saying that Ireland isn't Celtic would be like saying Iraq isn't Muslim. So that just sounded odd to me that anyone would have the nerve or lack of education to say something like that. :/

This sort of babble really pisses me off! 'Feen Mc Call' ha ha. its Fionn mccumhaill you twat! Pronounced 'Fyun Mc Cool' These English documentaries make me laugh. 'St Patrick most definately came frome England' It is widely acepted he was Welsh. And the Celtic way of life was not diminished by christianity and invading vikings. It was through the English invasion/plantation by Elizibeth, Cromwell and the English inflicted famine genicide to inflict the penal laws system and stamp out Brehon law
Why do English historians always try to paint all the nice bits in their favour on these programs and then try to quickly brush over the more distasteful facts by being deliberately vague when it paints them in a bad light? Despite definative historical proof? Shame on them. They are historians and have a responsibility to the truth. Not wishful thiniking...

There are no celts in is an invention of 19c racial propagandising. The existence of the celts is an bringing together of disparate cultures from different ages all hamfistedly knocked together to fit in the fragmentary populations on the edge of Western europe. When people today say they are celts what they are actually saying is I am better and superior to you.
Ahh, the Anglos are the last migration to Briton. The Picts were the first, then the Manx later the Gaels. Anglos are the Celti Aryan Saxons, Irish are the Celti Aryan Gaels. We are with the same common ancestry. Study the city of Galicia, and you will learn we had an advanced kingdom previously. We lost our civilisation to a Semitic nation. The Erin peoples were the first in Greece. We were the Galatians, Kingdom of Troy, buy some history books and see for yourself.
Hmmmm....you're calling two completely different peoples "Aryan" and you're blaming the loss of their "civilisation" on "a Semitic nation" LMAO! And palestine is an authentic and ancient civilization as well right?
you're totally right with your grouping of Celtic and Germanic languages, all the Celtic languages descend from a common ancestor, called Proto-Celtic, and all the Germanic languages descend from "Proto-Germanic", but Proto-Celtic and Proto-Germanic both also descendet from a common ancestor, called Proto-Indo-European. So the Celtic and the Germanic languages are related, though quite distantly. Remember though that language has nothing to do with genetic relationships.
swiss are the 'original, real' celts (as far as we know and i remember)!! you islanders with ur moaning, ur all mixed blood as well, get over the whole 'celt-thing' cause you're not that celtic!
Heh, the Celtic culture blossomed in Ireland and Britain due to the fact their culture never truly was annihilated. Most modern Swiss stuff is all Germanic.
true,that and tutens. swiss r kick ass, but celts r irish-britt. from brithis isles they moved 2 france and spain and germany. but there blood is tha same..embrace ur blood ur all celts..so am i! im amarican but celtish i blood and ill nrv deviate from my home...
The Celtic identity is one thrust by the English on the rest of the inhabitants of the British Isles to justify their Empire. The English used to believe they were mostly Germanic based on linguistics, genetic studies
have since proven otherwise.
Though the Irish and British may have been a part of the Celtic culture, the Celts are what Romans and Greeks called Northern Europeans before deciding to differentiate between the newly arrived Germanic culture. Ireland is no more Celtic than Rome.
scotland may go poor but eventully it will pick itself up, and our future generations will learn new skills ect.. while in britain/england the future generaions get pushed aside for forigne work and when those forigne people leave new ones come and they pass on no skills to the future generation and they get to the age where people think its a disgrace that they have done nothing and wont really get work
you think scottish care about weather the country is ritch or poor when it gets independant? no but we need to make a start soemtime so why not now? otherwise in the future it will be HARDER TO DO THIS DUMB ASS the oil is a thing we can use to start because we wont be able to do it in the future
lol have a go at the english all you want at end of the day we won :) and we are the scottish purse. Let scotland have its freedom see how you do with no money, no nhs ect! yeah scottish moan but they know they nothing without english money.
You won what? Scotland and England never fought a war after 1314. Only major battles where between Scotland and Britain and then finally the Jacobites and The British (which was mostly Scot vs Scot). Yea all that black stuff pumping out the the North sea doesn't create any profit, sure the discovery of oil didn't get the UK out of the last recession. If you hate us so much then you should be jumping for joy at the thought of us becoming independent.
First thing get your facts right it was 1746 at the battle Culloden that was the last battle fought and secondly what oil theres not much left. english wealth is not from the oil in the north its from southern england london alone would be the 8 richest country in the world if it was by its self give you a tip do some studying before you try argue
No the battle of Culloden was not England Vs. Scotland it was The Jacobites Vs. The British and the British fighting where mostly made up of Low Land Scots, this was a religious political civil war involving protestant and catholic feuds.
As for oil there is 60% of it left which is now worth 4 times as much not that oil alone is what Scotland can support itself on, you go on believing that London pays for Scotland using it's financial services we'll go on knowing the primary sector generates more revenue especially when not being screwed over by tax.
its been said scotland only gets 5% of its oil profit, also you dont understand that if scotland got poor it would help taking people of job benefits into work because the government wouldnt be able to pay them so they would end up paying tax and helping the country, also we have other methods of generating electectricty so we can sell more oil, but we have enough food in our country not to import forigne food/drink so that also saves money
I find it funny that this english pig is trying to put down Celts when many of "Great Britains" famous scientists were Scottish, NOT english. Celts were building wonderful pieces of architecture while ur English ancestors were figuring which end the poop comes out of. I'm Pashtun and respect Celts cause our cultures of clans, honor, mountaineering, and slaughtering english scum is similar. ;)
All races were barbaric at one time. I was born in London, so were my parents so I am proud to be British, but my Blood is Irish i.e. Granparents. So I am proud to be part of both races and history!
About the Celts, the world continues negligent to many territories, since La Téne culture in the center of the Europe until the Celtiberians in the southwest(even the welsh in Britain).
On the Celt-iberians of west Iberia, I have a text Summarized in my Page, for you who to want.

The Celts were but a foot note in history.The celts were a backward, uncivilised mercenary people who gave us nothing. I'm only saying what the Roman historians wrote.
I am so glad that you have posted this Saif. I, too, as someone else has said, am unfortunate enough not to be able to have the Discovery channel. And I love watching these videos on Youtube! :D Thanks, I enjoyed very much.
And now look at Ireland, dishonoring its heritage and ancient culture with no respect for the early roots of who they are. Look at the destruction of Tara! Very sad, Ireland is no longer irish, they are becoming a mono-culture and evolving into the future without learning from the past.
The lack of respect or lack of a sense of preservation for such a monumental place as Tara is criminal. I've been trying to keep up on that at TaraWatch and it's so discouraging to read some days. Destroying Ireland's heritage so frivolously will prove to be a mistake, I'm just sad there isn't really much more anyone can do.
Thanks for uploading this, it was an interesting documentary.
