Though, that is something we don't actually know. None of the historical texts are first hand accounts and we have literally no archeological evidence of anything related to the druids in particular. What we do have is celtic polytheism context which the druids were a higher sect of religious figures within the celtic beliefs. So we assume that they performed animal sacrifice, but we don't know for sure. Christianization rears it's head in nearly all of our knowledge of ancient religions, so don't assume that these videos are facts. They can't be because we don't have information on the druids.

His solution? He writes the letter in Latin, but uses the Greek alphabet because the gauls didn't know Greek. That was genius.

@drakarra

There's debate as to how accurate, common or even widespread human sacrifice was among the druids. Ceasar was more a politician than a historian, and in his documentation he is infamous for vilifying foreign cultures to justify conquering them. But suppose the worst of what he said is accurate--I would argue that killing a criminal in an rare religious ceremony is far more humane than the estimated 400,000 human deaths by the Colosseum. At worst, regarding human sacrifice by the druids as absolute truth is a questionable persuasion of Roman conquest--at best, it's hypocrisy. Additionally, the display of human heads is speculated to be more honor based than to be a gruesome trophy. The head was believed to house the spirit of the body, and by society was revered spiritually more than it was a display of conquest and cruelty. Still morbid by modern standards, certainly, but something to consider.

@EidolonSpecus

2 жыл бұрын

"Human sacrifices" in celtic culture were more likely ritualized judicial executions, carried out in either of two cases: 1) as capital punishment for severe crimes like treason, and/or 2) as a way to settle disputes by having one of a nation/confederation's best fighters volunteer to be executed instead of declaring a much bloodier war. Druids officiated those ceremonies, kinda like how christian priests gave the last sacrament to convicts on the gallows, except that in the case of druids the "priests" are also the judicial official responsible for executing the sentence, since they were considered a neutral party as far as Law and politics go. A *lot* of celtic customs had to do with peace-making and preventing conflicts, because celts traditionally valued mutual independance and thus couldn't simply have some tyrant conquer everyone to enforce a hegemonic "peace" through forced union or assimilation. The diversity and autonomy of the hundreds of distinct tribes, nations and confederations in Celtic Europe required means of mutual appeasement, and ritual execution was one of those means at the time. It served a similar purpose to what judicial extradition does in the modern world.

@Fae Trick We really can't know that though. Aside from druids, nobles, bards and ovates, we do know that gaulish merchants could read and write; they wrote down bookkeeping stuff for their long-distance trade (incl. with Iberians, Greeks and Romans before the conquest). The Celts just didn't write down their own History and customs, that we know of (most likely because everyone relevant was expected to know this stuff already before they had to learn how to read for commerce, diplomacy, military command or other management stuff). Or maybe they did write down this stuff and the texts just didn't survive to this day. They bothered to have written words on all of their own money. Like, we have coins with the face of a Uercingetorix and his name written on it. Writing was a practical tool, though maybe not revered like a good memory and sharp mind was. Maybe, like with the Socratic philosophers, putting down one's thoughts in writing was seen as detrimental to other people's ability to think for themselves; we don't know.

It was Because of Richard Wagner. No, really. Gauls did not carry their chiefs/warchiefs/senators on shields. Like the horned helmets that nobody actually wore, and the stereotypical mustache that only one or two statues have in all of the archeological record... all that is 19th-century wagnerian-opera invention; there is no substantiated evidence for it, it's mostly there due to artistic license in Astérix being inspired by the extremely inaccurate costuming of wagnerian operas _which weren't even about Gauls anyway._
