We once too spake a language called Gaulish (not Gallo or Gaelic), but unfortunately, there are only faint Celtic echoes in our language of West-Flemish.

Most Europe has a Celtic heritage and Celtic ancestry, from Portugal to Eastern Europe. There was never a united people in the political sense but a myriad of tribes with a common culture and way of life as opposed to the Roman (evil) one.

Tholomaios, the ... ( 1 month ago by nacho1560)

Tholomaios, the Celts didn't die out. They just mixed and dispersed throughout the world. And there's still pure pockets in Ireland and Northern Scotland. The Romans painted a bad picture of the evil barbarian Celts. In fact, recent evidence suggests the Celts had the wheel before the Romans and were far more cultured than the victors, who always write history.

Some examples. If ... ( 1 month ago by nacho1560)

Some examples. If a Roman mother didn't want her newborn child it was within her rights to toss it on a dump for unwanted children. The Celtic laws made it compulsory for the young, orphans, the aged, the sick and disabled to be looked after. While the Romans held women in contempt the Celts allowed women to seek a divorce. Women could become leaders of war a thing unknown with the uncouth Romans.

If you have access ... ( 1 month ago by nacho1560)

If you have access to Mozilla Firefox Stumble Upon videos look up "Barbarians - The Primitive Celts". It lasts one hour and brings up most of the points re. the Celts and Romans.
It will amaze you as to the culture and organisation of the European Celts, who eventually found their way to Britain. No wonder the descendants of the Irish and Scots produce so many brilliant individuals throughout the world. The Celts were truly the Chosen Ones.

Hi nacho1560! Well, ... ( 1 month ago by Tholomaios)

Hi nacho1560! Well, as you can see from my comment I already know the Celts have survived in those spots you mentioned. That the Celts have mixed wherever other peoples invaded I have also concluded long ago. For instance I have talked with a friend interested in history about the Bavarians being most likely Celts in accordance to their genome although they speak German and consider themselves to be Germanic now.

Concerning the ... ( 1 month ago by Tholomaios)

Concerning the Celts being "more civilised": I doubt most people would sympathise with the Celtic moral codes more than with the Roman ones would they know them in full. For instance had Celts homosexuality being punished with death (as far as I know). But that is altogether another issue: The examples you give prove, the Celts have been "just". But that is a moral category and might only prove them to have had rules closer to ethical convictions in today's Europe!

But "civilization" ... ( 1 month ago by Tholomaios)

But "civilization" in terms of historical science does not judge the ethical convictions of peoples of the past (or at least it shouldn't). The level of civilization I judged upon how sophisticated technology, administration, law, religion etc. was. Here the Celts clearly lose against Greeks, Romans etc., as do all "barbarians". Yes, the barbarians weren't as half savage as the self declared civilised peoples painted them, but it clearly wasn't Slavs, Germanics nor Celts to build aqueducts etc.

Fair comment Tholo. ... ( 1 month ago by nacho1560)

Fair comment Tholo. No doubt they had bad laws as well but the looking after children instead of throwing them live onto a dumping ground shows a more civilised legal system than the Romans. Not taking sides here but homosexuality is also prohibited in the bible.
A lot of Scots, whether they have any Celtic blood or not, would claim to be Celts first and foremost and not British. Interesting that it's the opposite in Bavaria.

I'm more concerned ... ( 1 month ago by nacho1560)

I'm more concerned about the ethical laws and morals of the people who lived then than the building of aqueducts, etc.
To me a people who care about the weaker members of their society are more worthy of respect than the powerful Roman Empire that despised women and ignored their poor. The victors write history. The Celtic priests are called barbaric for practicing human sacrifice. Yet what was the Roman equiv
alent, feeding Christians to lions? Or gladiators dying for sport?

It is a problem ... ( 1 month ago by Tholomaios)

It is a problem that in our daily language "civilised" means as well "technically advanced" as "morally non savage". In accordance to historical science it's only the first in accordance to Ethics it's only the latter. Your statement that you judge peoples in accordance to their ethical, moral and legal system (which means you judge their system by yours) means, you judge them by ethical categories. I do a lot of talk about ethics, but when dealing with ancient history I usually don't.

I'm not trained in historical science, Tholomaios. I'm just giving my opinions. I'd rather have lived under the Celtic laws and way of life than the Roman one.
Celtic trade routes were far superior to Roman ones, and they had hundreds of gold mines. One of the reasons a bankrupt Caeser craved their lands and their wealth.

Maybe, that's how ... ( 1 month ago by Tholomaios)

Maybe, that's how one should have put it right away. By the way, I am just watching the film you recommended to me. I'm just the half way through an d I like it a lot. Indeed it confirms the picture of Indo-Europeans that I already have for a certain time: the barbarian Europeans were way more civilized (concerning technology) than we thought. They had roads, huge temples, ships etc. We only didn't know because it was all wooden and has mostly rotten long ago!
