The skulls were trophies, and according to some sources certain heads would be preserved in cedar oil so they could be kept and taken out to display for longer periods without rotting. Which just takes the practice to a whole new level of dark.

... might not want to study english history... they had a practice ov pickling heads and displaying them on pikes outside market squares. the case you mention was to display personal valor and remember a enemy/battle. the case I mentioned is to scare the serfs into obeying 'lest this be you'. to add to your fear ov mortality... in the wild west times ov 1900s they used to do death mask ov executed prisoners, now days we print photos ov people on their graves. yeah... whole new level ov dark there....

That is what we were told and to made believe it is true. And since the - ancient - Celts had nothing written down, there was for many years nothing to prove it otherwise.

@@Andy_Babb i did nowhere say they were not real. The only thing i said that they had nothing written down. So - we - had to rely mostly on writings from the Romans.

And on the lighter side, and hopefully not taken to seriously, we all know -Asterix and Obelix-, and thy showed that they were not barbarians.....

Back when man was free, before the empires took over everything. The last defenders of individual freedom and independence.

Always depends on who tells the story. According to Rome everyone that fought them were barbarians...same with wars in other places. I think the Folks referred to as Vikings were also called barbarian as were Saxon, Angle and Jute tribes. All depends on perspective. Historically it is listed in the bible as well...Galatia was full of "those barbaric Celts"....LOL! I suppose it would be rather interesting to see a whole bunch of could be naked folks with tattoos and a screaming instrument known as a Carnyx.

Is it so hard to imagine the Celts letting the head rot to the bone before tying it to their belts. It just went from 10 lbs to 2 or 3 and who said they tie 20 to their belts 🤔

This programme non-ceasingly porttrays a very negative view of the Celtic peoples. None of the experts on celts were from their settled communities of Scotland, or Ireland, or Wales, etc. These communities had sagas/stories, made laws, were engaged in farming and commerce, made sophisticated non. military ornaments and utensils, had written words and languages, and had a mythic religious belif system.

Gaelic (the Celtic language) is extremely common in Ireland so most Irish folks speak "celtic" also it is spoken in a few areas around the coast of Spain and north Africa where the moorish peoples traveled, parts of their culture were picked up by the celts and vice-versa including the Gaelic language during their stop in ancient Northern Ireland

If they fought like is depicted here, they wouldn't last for a minute on the battlefield. According the Romans and Greek everyone who did speek like barbarbar and not Greek or Latin were barbarians. The Egyptians and Persians were barbarians.

Dont forget Boudica And herDaughters were all Raped by Roman solders before she went after Rome. Having scandanavian and celt blood my family are red heads orvhave pitch black hair and most are 6' or taller. Including women. One of my aunts reminded me of Beutica!

They did not call themselves "Celtic" that's what the Romans called their langauges. Prove me wrong if you read this comment and disagree dont say no opinions come with facts like I did.

Celtic is the name of their Culture. This Culture spans across Europe and the Islands. All of these people groups are of different Ethnicities and their Languages are slightly different, being dialects of Gaelic. The Romans are the ones who gave Scotland it's name, as they called people who spoke Gaelic, Scoti. The original name of this area is Alba, and the people called themselves Ibre.
