CELTS

Celts

I've created a presentation about Celts, because they are mysterious.

(I'm sorry but I must say that the text will be about massacres, but Celts were a bit cruel and a presentation about this nation without a tiny bit of massacre would be a tiny bit absurd.)

Origin

Celts are very intresting. They were from Kurgan (in south Germany), but they settled down in the whole West Europe, in the area of today's Russia and on the Arabian Peninsula.

This green-marked area is the area where Celts settled down.

Celts' Skills

Celts were once technologically advanced. They started the Iron Age in Europe. They were proficient in farming, pottery, animal husbandry and iron treatment. The strangest thing in it is the fact that Celts used to get the iron from the marshes!!!

Druids

The most mysterious Celts were druids. They were very talented. They were proficient in mathematics and astronomy. But some Celts thought that druids could fly. Phi, nonsens. There were also bards. They were a kind of priests, but they used to visit a lot of cities and sing songs ( of course songs about massacres). Druids had some special mysterious symbols. The most famous are the Celtic cross and the swastica. The both symbolized the sun.

This old man is a druid (but he can't fly).

Gods

Celtic gods are very interesting like their believers. The king of the Celtic gods was Dagda ( yes, I know, very strange name). I will not list all gods, but I have created a special table.

Name	Specialization
Dagda	The Boss
Morrigan	Watching batlles with cold blood
Beleneus	Farming
Lug	Figthing with spear
Tailtiu and Machu	Nature
Epona	Horses (of course combat horses)
Goibniu	Beer
Cernunnos	Nobody knows

This is Special table.

Culture

Celtic Culture survived to this day in form of languages and music. You can hear some music here.

Celtic languages are Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Breton. Nowadays those languages are rare. Breton is classified as "severely endangered" by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger. But some people still talk in Celtic languages.

Good morning in Irish is

DIA HUIT!

I’m sorry but it is
