I remember seeing Richard Burton on a talk show, in 1961 (I was 18). The other members of the panel kept referring to him as English. As an Irish American (whose name got to Ireland, from Wales, in 1168, I was annoyed. Burton was gracious and erudite but, after an hour or so, he'd had enough. "You've been referring to me all evening, as English. I'm Welsh. We admire the English...with a cold dislike."

A point I'd make is that a genetic marker doesn't necessarily tell you anything about the language the people used, or their material culture. So if talking about "Celts" you'd need to distinguish between a genetic population, a culture (including language) and the material culture. They shouldn't be seen as identical.

All I'm saying is that the Celtic language was an Atlantic thing, not Europe wide. Most of Europe was proto German, including eastern Britain, so didn't 'change' by the Anglo-Saxons, but already was 'german' speaking. What is thought 'celtic' culturally is just as much Germanic, & shared across Europe, including the Celts, not primarily Celtic in origin.

@@lloydbeattie9370 That too simplistic. The Romans, & Greeks to some extent, named a wide group of people after the first name they knew for them, sometimes incorporating different peoples under one 'label' ethnically by association. This is not proof of an actual close ethnic or cultural, or even linguistic connection, but more often mere geography. Thus the Romans met a 'tribe' they heard of as Greeks, so expanded this to mean many people in the eastern Mediterranean, who called themselves 'Hellenes', none say 'Greek'. Similarly, they encountered a group they heard as 'German', & then called a large part of Europe & it's people 'German'. Again, in south western Gaul they found 'Keltoi, or Celts, ,'Gauls', & stretched these to cover many peoples. The Carthage area they new as 'Africa' was expanded to cover the whole Mediterranean coast, later even the whole continent. Asia was just Anatolia, now a vast land mass. Thus what they called people does not prove an accurate marker of ethnicity or linguistic identity.

The languages are Celtic and many customs, stories and traditions are shared not just on both sides of the Irish Sea but also across the Bay of Biscay and Brittany. Also, many places all over that area have names with Celtic origins. The population may not be fully genetically Celt in Ireland just like it's not fully Anglo Saxon in England. Those peoples merged with the local population and their cultures and languages slowly became dominant in their respective territories, also adopting some traits from the previous culture. It happened with the Celts (different tribes or people's in Britain and Ireland), it happened with the Romans, the Saxons, the Vikings... it's normal

Cruithen is pronounced krɯNʲ crew-ny’h. The orthography of Scottish Gaelic does not follow the same as the orthography of English. (Any more than English spelling rules follow French spelling rules). An “h” usually signifies that the consonant before it changes or disappears according to case or tense. And when you get more than one vowel in a row, like the “ui”, the second consonant is also usially a grammatical /syntactical indicator of a potential sound change.

Well done!.

I agree with your conclusions. I think a great part of the criticism is a reaction against the long held view that celtic society started with the Hallstat culture, which subsequently expanded over central Europe, a spread later invigorated during the La Tene period. I think a recalibration of this view, seeing the origins of celtic culture and language in the Urnfeld culture is far more helpfull and accepting the later strong influences of the Hallstatt and particularly La Tene cultures on this urnfeld culture substrate is a much more helpfull view of understanding the development of Celtic cultures.

It is likely that the Bronze Economy (2500 bce -400 bce) spread the forms of the “Gallic Languages” (Gall=strong, mercenary, able) along the trade routes from North Wales (copper) and Cornwall (tin) to the Rhein, Danube, and Alps (which is where (Children of Don/Danu) came from in the first place circa 2500 bce.

Most of Europe was taken over by Indo-Europeans - except Britain. I was always puzzled why the British are generally dark-featured, with sallow skin - when they're supposed to be "Anglo Saxons"! And it might explain their antagonism to Europe. These Anatolians, I guess, would be providing the base population - so their looks would always be coming through in some way - and it could explain your looks!

This is well reasoned. If one can draw any conclusions, it would be that our European past is very messy, and whatever is recorded is open to interpretation.

Excellent explanation. From a linguistic perspective a LBA expansion of Proto-Celtic into the British Isles and Iberia from Gaul makes perfect sense.

We know enough about the Scots and Irish to know they migrated from different parts of Europe and the history books suggest that the welsh migrated to Britain during the Celtic expansion before the rise of the roman empire and the welsh where later driven into wales during the angle-Saxon conquest and colonization of Britain and before this the welsh where driving all over Britain by attempts at mass murder and genocide by the roman empire with whole villages having to be abandoned. The welsh are in wales because that was the land the angle-Saxon allowed them to keep.

I love the Celts. I have developed such an interest in these amazing and fascinating people. The Celts of Great Britain were an indigenous people who honoured the Earth and animals. A very spiritual people connected to the land and spirit just like the Native Americans, Australian Aboriginals, Africans and Pacific Islanders. Unfortunately most accounts from the Romans depicted them as brutal savages not unlike how mainstream history has treated other indigenous peoples. More studies of these amazing yet misunderstood people should be undertaken.

Unlike Westernized, modern culture. Celtic Britons were the same as Native Americans, Australian Aboriginals and other peoples who treated the Earth and animals with honour, kindness and respect. People who lived off the land and knew natural medicines to take care of themselves. Friendly word of advice.

@Falk They indeed put great emphasis on warrior culture, and developed warrior codes and ethos so much more elaborated than ours today (which in fact are non-existent) that we wouldn't even be able to fathom. But they certainly weren't as "violent" as us modern day folk who invest billions in the creation of weapons of mass destruction, or slaughter billions of animals per day for our mere profit and gustatory pleasure. There's a fine distinction between being "extremely violent", which is the view your biased eyes have through a lens influenced by your own modern standards of violence and by main-stream depiction of ancient cultures, and having an elaborated warrior culture. They would take the weapons only if necessary, but at the same time, maybe more often than us today who wallow in comfort and came to a point where we even tolerate the intolerable.

I have no idea how I can identify as being Irish? However my grandmother's last name was Colvin given to her by her father. She and her husband with a name "Mc" and then another additional name close to "murry" raised all their children in rural Oklahoma USA in the late 1800s.

The Great Orme of North Wales and the Hallstatt salt mines (both mining) had a huge impact on the European economy (1300-800 bce) and changed the wealth structures. Horses became more common, too.

How far can you go into your family tree ? .very interesting. I personally can go back to to the 16th century. History is great. Thank you.

Basques and Insular Celts aren't close genetically. Basques form their own cluster but are most closely related to Southern French and Northern Spanish. Basques also have less Bell Beaker input than Insular Celtic populations much higher Farmer input and did not speak Celtic languages. They speak a pre-Indo-European language one of the few remaining in Europe.

When I was in college, that was the given consensus for how Ireland became celtic, we were trading heavily with people from celtic groups and started mimicking aspects of their culture. The example they used was a iron age style celtic sword made of bronze in Ireland (might have been flint, it's been a while) we essentially adopted the culture since it was seen as better and came with benefits in trade and relations or atleast that was the proposed theory on it

I just discovered your channel recently, I absolutely love it, learning so much 💕 Having ancestors from Brittany (named LeGaul, seriously ☺️) I've always been fascinated with their origins. Have you ever read the article that came out several years ago that said there may be new evidence putting the origins of the Celts somewhere in NW France, probably Brittany. I'm sure as sea levels were still rising and causing migrations, people could have moved to places that they probably had preexisting trading histories with... maybe that's where they sent their daughters to marry and develope those bonds, who knows, just where my thinking is going. Long post, sorry 😐... Have you done anything on the Old Frisian coastline, and it's gradual sinking over several thousand years? We all know about the lost lands of Doggerland and that Britain was once connection to the mainland, but Old Frisia was still occupied and was chronicled by the Romans and others. I just would love to see a video you may have done... or maybe someday 😆 Love your content! Think I'll go binge watch the rest.

Some of the uncommon names you used for people and things made it very hard to follow along with some parts of this video and wasn’t enough context around the word to make it educated guess that I could have faith in but still very good and informative video

Why is the idea that the bell beaker culture spoke proto-celtic off the table? Is it just the sheer amount of time between them and written records?

Whilst researching the mystic society known as Druids, your video, covering said material, was presented in such a way, I was not only captivated but full sensory engaged in your quest. As a independent researcher, I like gathering all facts and mythos before acquiring an understanding about a culture. Any time I hear the titles of Academia, or 'Modern Scholars", I am instantly put into a resistance of the twisting of facts to fit paradigm.

If anyone wants a clearer picture of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Gaulish or English, stuff such as the Pyrenees Mountain history can help with the big picture too. I feel my relationship with the topics like this channel's collection because the Basque live close to both Germanic groups and Celtic groups, that's clear if you're able to admit the changes through the years.

As a Welshman I can congratulate the pronunciation in this video. Lots of documentaries get Welsh pronunciation wrong.

Interesting point of view though ancient texts and living site excavation have turned up plenty of artefacts to suggest the Celts did exist and the stories passed down of the battles had to originate from somewhere. Every story is wrapped in grains of truth as the saying goes. Not to mention the druidic religious practices that have turned up alot of evidence of how people lived and died in ways that were not typical of ancient people.
