They were not the kind of conquerer culture that gets overrepresented in the history record, rather they were the unconquerable.

A Welsh linguist here on KZread (Ben Llwyelyn) who specializes in Celtic languages showed that the reason why Portuguese sounds so totally different from other romance languages is because of the pre-Roman Celtic languages spoken there. He said that Portuguese is Latin spoken by Celts; but Spanish although unrelated to Basque in origin, has the exact same phonemes as Basque so therefore Spanish is Latin spoken by Basques. The -sh sounds before consonants is common to both Irish (Gaelic) and Portuguese; and you find the nasal vowels and diphthongs so common in Portuguese in Breton as well.

Rather interesting and yet, highly speculative. Living in Portugal, I had the opportunity to visit several pre-roman population centers, the Castros. The Lusitanios are considered extremely significant in our pre-roman History. Unfortunately, relevant studies are not being systematically pursued. at this time.

Fascinating and very enjoyable 👏👏👏

Nice one Kevin 👍 another one 😙

Thank you from a Lusitanian Celt.

From what I have heard from scholars of Iberian history, the ancient tribes in the North of the peninsula were proto-Celtic peoples, an older variant of Celts. On the other hand, it was a huge variety of different tribes, not as a single culture, frequently battling each other. Something like what Papua is, countless valleys and mountains inhabited by different peoples with some points in common, such as metal works of similar shapes, such as tools or ornaments, ceramics, or art.

e center and north of Portugal you'll still see a lot of evidence they left behind. Fun fact, if you're Portuguese and you go to Galiza you'll notice that the language is really similar to Portuguese, maybe an evidence of our common ancestry. Also there is a local places in Portugal where some people speak a língua mirandesa (similar to my own name :D) which if you're Portuguese is really hard to understand, not sure if it's related to celts or not. Another fun fact, in Portugal you can see the statue of Viriato in Viseu and you can also see another statue in a museum in Zamora, Spain. Viriato is a lusitanian heroe that fought the romans.

I think I see now why languages like old Welsh and old Portuguese are so similar in certain aspects. They wore the same kind of Celts.

It says that Ireland was settled by three groups of people from the Iberian Peninsula. The first are the people of Partholón, who all die of plague. The second are the people of Nemed, who eventually return to Iberia. The last group from Hispania (mīles Hispaniae), who sail to Ireland in thirty ships.

It's interesting that you mentioned the Bell Beakers being 40% indoeuropean.

However when i did ancestry test and later confirmed my results in various vahaduo calculators i was: 46.6% Indoeuropean, 40.8% Neolithic Farmer, 6.8% Epipaleolithic north africa (due to stone age migrations i assume, not moorish conquest, since there is no arab or proto african in the mixture) and 5.8% western hunter gatherer.

@FortressofLugh

Not so much that the bell beakers were 40% Steppe derived. They were actually often higher than that in percentage terms. What I meant was that around 40% of the gene pool in Bronze Age Iberia was represented by this incoming population. The steppe percentages thus would have been lower than that. However, the steppe percentage was increased further with the Urnfield Celtic migration. Commercially available genetic testing should not be taken as entirely accurate. I don't know how they are categorizing "indo-European". However, all Iberian people are indo-European as you have Steppe ancestry and speak Indo-European languages. I wouldn't be too caught up in the specific admixtures.

Kevin can you do a video on Germany at some point? It would be incredible to see you tackle it.

Great work, man! 👍🏻👍🏻

The present day basque country was inhabited by three different celtic tribes upon the arrival of the romans to the area. Their partial annihilation brought in colonizers from already romanized people and subjected peoples like the ancestors of the basques who were living in and at the foothills of the Pyrenees. Their loyalty was the reason they weren’t ended as a culture and were left alone to be bilingual in latin and in their dialects as well as spread into the current basque country and a pocket of La Rioja during the roman period. It’s curious that the three main surviving ancient basque dialects/languages roughly correspond to the three territories of the previous celtic tribes.

very interesting

Kevin, great video, I have a question. What is your opinion on the Upton Chamber? A Stone chamber unlike any of the other root cellars in Massachusetts, dating to around the 1600s. It is akin and very similar to one's in Ireland and it's door aligns with the setting sun on the solstice. Also, thoughts on Dal Riata Gael slaves on the nordic voyage to North America?

Awesome video as always! One nitpick: you sometimes say CELTS and show footage of clearly Germanic peoples with the Suebian knot!

Great video! Just a small correction to the extension of the iberian celts. They also occupied what is nowadays known as Basque country, as is shown in the ancient toponomy (names of rivers and mountains) and some traditions like the sacred oak. The basques inhabited originally the adjacent land to the east, and spread out westwards to their actual location right after the fall of the Roman empire.

@@BETOETE It is fascinating how the basque language was preserved. It's the only pre indoeuropean language in Europe (hungarian, finnish and turkish are non indoeuropean but not preindoeuropean since they arrived at a latter date). It has all to do with the Pyrenees and the borders between France and Spain. The physical and political divide allowed that language to survive in the high mountains. However, the Pyrenees have two open gateways at both extremes: in the east (towards Catalonia) is very broad, in the west is narrower but also accesible to the Basque country. So the ancient basques roamed mainly in the central Pyrenees. After the invasion of Suevi, Vandals and Alans, the present Basque country (which had been celtic) was weakened, and the basques spread out to that area mixing up with the remaining celt population. Later on, after the muslim invasion, the christian state of Navarra was created and that helped to the preservation of the basque language.

So it is in both Spanish and Portuguese, canto.

When the English conquered Britain, some britons went to France but others went to northern Galicia where they founded a village named Britonia and lived pacifically. They even had their own bishops, like Maeloc. When the moors entered Spain, the bishop of Braga moved to Britonia. Still today, some celtic traditions are kept in Galicia, like Halloween celebrations.To me, this evidences a continuous relationship among the atlantic Celts until the fall of the Roman Empire.

This is such an interesting video. I am of Spanish heritage and some of my DNA is actually Celtic in origin. I was raised in north central Spain in Salamanca, and I remember the history classes mentioning the Celtic presence in that area. There were stone figures called “verracos”, or male pigs near the Roman Bridge over the Tormes River at what was the southern entrance of the city at that time (the 1960’s). I believe these still stand today. These stone figures were all over the province and in nearby Avila and Segovia. These were attributed to the vacceos which were thought to be Celtic in origin. At that time there was not much interest in the Celtic heritage in Spain, other than the Galician and Asturian bagpipe music of the North. The academic stance at the time was that Spain was not generally considered to have much Celtic ancestry, in fact it was argued that their sparse presence was not relevant enough because they were mostly absorbed by the local tribes which were called Iberians. Most of the ancient pre-history at that time centered around these people and the Tartessians that settled in the south. I am very glad that there is a renewed interest in this topic and that dogmas considered true in the past have been proven wrong.

Los verracos corresponden en su gran mayoría a los vettones. Los verracos son algo exclusivo de los vettones, pueblo celtibérico establecido en las actuales provincias de Ávila, Salamanca, el sur de Zamora, el oeste de Toledo y el norte de Cáceres, aunque ya sabemos que es difícil delimitar con precisión los territorios que abarcaba cada tribu. De los últimos encontrados en el yacimiento de “El Gordo” se ubica en la cima del pico homónimo, a una altitud de 998 metros sobre el nivel del mar, delimitando los términos municipales de Plasencia, Oliva de Plasencia y Cabezabellosa. Tienes también unas ESTELAS, reproducen guerreros celtas con sus ornamentos y armas en Torrejón el Rubio. También se han hallado otros dos verracos en Botija (Cáceres) y otro en Segura de Toro. En realidad no es en el norte dónde habían CELTAS era en la parte OCCIDENTAL DE LA PENÍNSULA y hay más restos arqueológicos en EXTREMADURA que en todo el NORTE junto, por algo los VETTONES, los LUSITANOS y los CELTICI estaban en esa zona. El ‘Tesoro de Berzocana’, conjunto de dos torques (collares en forma de herradura circular) decoradas de oro macizo de 24 quilates y la pátera (plato o vasija poco profunda) de bronce que al parecer las contuvo. Estos pueblos se dividían entre los de origen celta y los de origen íbero.Los que habitaban la zona de las Villuercas, Jara e Ibores, eran del primer grupo, concretamente vetones. Otros pueblos celtas asentados en Extremadura fueron los lusitanos, asentados en el oeste de la provincia de Cáceres, y los célticos, que ocupaban el sudoeste de Badajoz. Entre los íberos se encontraban los turdetanos, ocupando el oeste de la provincia pacense y los túrdulos, asentados en el sudeste. Los castros (poblados fortificados) de Aldeacentenera, Berzocana, Retamosa y Fresnedoso de Ibor son un buen ejemplo de las culturas indígenas de la península ibérica. Ubicados en algunos de los lugares más estratégicos del Geoparque Mundial de la UNESCO.

Very nice :-) I truly enjoyed :-) I am a 70% genetic Iberian, by the way

Fascinating. An advanced study of my DNA indicates 9% Iberian. Something I was unaware of. I don't know about the Celtic part. Most of my ancient DNA is Germanic or Nordic. Thanks so much for this

@nnonotnow, I have similar situation. The main player ancestry companies have me as Norwegian, British and Swedish mainly, I show up anywhere from roughly 9% to 12% Iberian with these other companies. Relatives that I personally know along with numerous pop ups with the main players, are mainly U.S. Brits some U.S. Scandinavians and then Norwegians, followed by England and some Scotland and then Sweden. Perhaps we should all collaborate and figure this out?

Sorry what do you mean by ancient? Germanic, (much less Nordic) migration was mainly during the early classical era. Do you mean proto-Germanic? If so that’s quite interesting!

I am Spanish from Valencia, on the Mediterranean coast, and I do not have any Irish ancestors but I am 10% Irish. (Apart from Iberian, Italian, Western Europe and Baltic or Fines). Obviously these coincidences come from an ancient substratum of peoples who arrived from Eastern Europe and the Caucasus and mixed with each other and with the native hunter-gatherers, in a period between the Neolithic and the Iron Age over years and generations. I specifically have a large genetic closeness with samples taken from burials of an ancient pre Roman people who lived in the Catalan Pyrenees, called Ilergetaes and whose capital was Ilerda, current Lleida (Lerida in Spanish). It is worth noting the ending of his Getaes name, which presents great resemblance to that of other peoples of the East such as the Massagetae and the Daciogeta. But the most curious thing is that I also have great genetic proximity to burials in southeastern Moldova of individuals belonging to the Scythas who probably belonged to the same ethnic group.

Hell yeah

The concept of a cultural identity is blurred by history due to genetic mixing, language, political or military conquest and natural cultural change. By the same process that many modern Spaniards and Portuguese may consider themselves "Celt", the English (also subject to the regular invasions and migrations of other European groups and the loss of Celtic languages) are also predominantly Celt. Though born in Cornwall and with a hint of Irish and Scottish ancestry, my mother (from Kent) always described us as Celt. The fact that the Celtic _culture_ came from Austria/Switzerland in its most ancient form is underpinned by the spread to Galacia (central Turkey), Ireland and the extremities of Europe's Atlantic seaboard. We don't use the bell beaker pottery or swirly patterns on bronze and gold jewellery, so to consider ourselves Celt seems a bit of a stretch given the obvious DNA mixing of 2,000+ years. No question that the Celts are a vital component in European history, however.

now that word can't could that also be related to the word Canton Bridgend? Considering Cambridge Oxford and London are three corners of the modern British language? Just speculating here.

Living in California, I'm glad at least the gold rushes here were far more peaceful at least than what happened in Spain. Strange that the Spanish speakers were the ones who largely got pushed out this time, at least for a while.

They were never that populous in California. Most Vaqueros & Californios in general were integrated after California was purchased by the US, as there was only a few thousand of them. Compared to the tens of thousands that would end up migrating to California in the 19th century, they were quickly drowned out demographically.

They were not peaceful for the indians.. they were obliterated in just 40 years.. there were no spanish speakers as Spanish did not evolve for hundreds of years

Does that mean that Mexicans might have Celtic-Iberian DNA because they have Spanish blood? I always wondered about that topic.

They would likely have at least some. However, many people in South and Central America are also to a greater or lesser degree mixed with the native American peoples. Probably Argentinians and Uruguayans might have the most, but I have not really looked into it seriously.

I also think it's possible. I'm Portuguese and have 12% Celtic ancestry. My DNA profiling shows faint connections to populations in Brazil and Chile, so it wouldn't be too farfetched for some Mexicans to share Celtiberian ancestry, I would say.
