@iradan64 I was referring primarily to the druids not any ethnicity
-
@im4theconstitution their were two ethnicities in ireland at the time of the romans, the britons and the gaels. the britons worshiped numerous gods similar to the pagen traditions and would sacrifice people when the crops failed. the gael celts only sacraficied themseleves on the field of battle in a similar way to the vikings.

@wolfizzey They didn't exactly write much down. That's why Roman accounts are used. As the other guy mentioned, archaeological digs have confirmed the practice of human sacrifice among ore-Roman peoples in the British Ises. Sorry, but it's true; they really did sacrifice human beings. How often, now that's another question. But it did happen.

@wolfizzey Human sacrfice was so great that you resent losing it? LOL

@wolfizzey "Archaeological evidence from the British Isles seems to indicate that human sacrifice may have been practised, over times long pre-dating any contact with Rome. Human remains have been found at the foundations of structures from the Neolithic time to the Roman era, with injuries and in positions that argue for their being foundation sacrifices" Happy now? sometimes when something is eliminated from existence you would think that there is a reason.

@im4theconstitution find me a source where the Celts THEMSELVES admit to this and I will take it in
-
@wolfizzey that doesnt change the fact that they gave human sacrifices
-
@wolfizzey very little writings passed down*
-
@im4theconstitution You forget the Romans feared and hated the Celts after they sacked Rome under the leadership of Brennus and Caeser's campaigns against Gaul basially the Romans would of, of course painted the Celts in the most negative light possible and there is very writings passed down from the Celts themselves on their own practises.
HAPPY PADDYS DAY EVERYONE!
