Well, now, that is the nub of the issue, isn't it? The academic gatekeepers traditionally have exhibited a knee-jerk rejection often laced with pejorative insults to dismiss these new theories. Yet, institutional archaeologists in America, uneducated in European scripts, refuse to visit, much less excavate, sites that might contradict their dogma. Thus, the impasse. As for my preferred pronunciation of Celtic, I address that in another video. Ogham as Americans say, not Irish, who say aluminium.

Many anthropologists seem to consider it their duty to dismiss ideas contrary to their dogma as pseudoscience or crackpot theories. If comprehensive genetic testing had been done on ALL native american tribes, that might wash. But anomalies such as the extinct Mandans and Pawnee Skidee tribes cannot be genetically tested lacking survivors or survivors in adequate numbers. Superficial denials do nothing to further science, but only serve to weaken those "cultural inappropriateness" drum beaters

So when someone has been dead for a long time their DNA can't be tested? We KNOW that's not true. You really WANT to believe that Celts and Amerindians are one in the same, and no matter what evidence is shown to the contrary you will continue to hold it as a fact and desperately search for any info to support your view. The linguistic interpretation is laughable. What can be supported is that the Celtic culture had an environmental spiritualism like the original Americans, and Australoids etc.

Kindly reference the mitochondrial DNA tests on the Mandan or the Skidee Pawnee! Just because the skeletons of more prominent tribes may have been tested does not contradict George Catlin's observations of the blue eyed Mandans or the missing remains of the Skidee wiped out by the Sioux. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, as any real scientific investigator understands. Yes, Harvard's Calvert Watkins laughed at our linguistics, too, but he erred in the Ogham "D" having 1 stroke.

I did not say "Celtic".

I said "Celt".

Celts were and are a race. Are the Boston Celtics, the Bostons linguistics? You are very funny. Living in California, you  rely on academics because you've lost contact with the living breathing heritage.

I don't speak from academic knowledge. I'm a living breathing Celt - of a family of Celts.

I am the real thing while you rely on "academics". The MacPDuff stands for

Macpherson MacDuff. What are your credentials my freind?

@JorgeLorenzoSpain100 pero que dices xD

@awendragoness .What date is that? Stone circles ceased to be build after 1100 BC. The people who built them are not regarded as celts,although they are the ancestors of many of them.

[sonofherne]

@kscottm .Yes,considered 'acceptable' but technically not correct, as 'c' always has a hard sound in any of the celtic languages and is never pronounced as 's'.

[sonofherne]

@rugbyboy198127 .I suspect the Bretons did speak a celtic language and this is why it attracted the Britons who fled the Saxon incursions. It is now thought the celtic languages arrived in Britain via the west (Iberia) and may have been spoken all the way up the western seaboard in the bronze age (could explain why the Norse have 2 shadowy older gods Njord & Skadi,who are actually the Irish Nuadhu/Scathach!)

[sonofherne]

@macpduff . We are not a 'race'. We are not even a single ethnicity. The Hallstatt central European celts are not genetically close to the insular celts whose ancestry is more prehistoric and Atlantic coastal--northern France, Iberia. No one in the British Isles or Ireland even called themselves a 'celt' before the 17th c! It is a culture and a set of languages. Names Behan & Tierney...also the 'real thing' but not fluffy about it!

@JorgeLorenzoSpain100

You are wrong Ancient Greeks went to America

first and settled there.....

[AleksandrosBr]

@kscottm

Here is the true theory Ancient Greeks travelled

and settled in America first cause Greeks had extensive

navigational knowledge......
