@@KnowHistory You've completely misunderstood the meaning of the term "Celt".
The Romans referred to all of the northern tribes as Celts, same as 19th century Europeans referred to all Africans as the "blacks". It doesn't mean they were all of the same people or culture.
The Greeks referred to peoples as "barbarians". The barbarians weren't a single people. Barbarians were uncivilised peoples who couldn't speak Greek, and their talking sounded like "baar baar baar".
The Sack of Delphi is a very interesting historical occurrence. The Greeks have never admitted that the temples fell, yet both the Celts and Romans believed differently and spent considerable time searchign for the lost treasure of Delphi that the Celts supposedly hid after their defeat.

Fun fact, theres a town called Bala in both north Wales and modern Galatia and apparently both names are derived from the same route word.
Bal was an Armenian word for cherries. Giresun, Turkey is believed to be the origin or home of the sweet cherry. Giresun is sub-tropical, sitting on the South Coast of the Black Sea. Everyone loves to eat sweet cherries. They were an important source of vitamin C for folks in the area. Cherries make great wine. In addition they can be dried & preserved to be eaten over the winter or incorporated into fruitcake!
Cherries can be very finicky to grow as they need a lengthy spell of cold weather during the winter to trigger the blossoms in the spring.
The success of the cherry harvest all depended on the whims of a weather god named Baal. The folks in Giresun still have a May Day celebration that is dedicated to their fertility goddess named Cybele. I don't know if Baal & Cybele ever got it on.
Celts all over Europe celebrated May Day or Beltane. I believe "taine" or "tân" is still used by the Welsh for fire.
Bal , bel, mal & mel became associated with or words for sweet things.
When the Cherry Cult Baals saved up enough money to buy the letter "G" some of the Baals became Gauls (because they spoke Gaelic?) but the Germans still called them Walls or Valls.
What is the root word?
@@gordbolton27 In old Welsh Bala meant the overflow of a lake but in even older Brythonic languages the word just meant a place that water would overflow into to or an area near / overlooking a body of water.
Being born and spent 30 years of my life in Ankara, I find this video fascinating.

Are you Turkish or non-Turkish living in Turkey ?
Was hoping this video would contain more about Celtic culture in Galatia rather than merely how they got there.
Me too.
The story of the Galatians is more of a people who became Hellenized, but interestingly, there were a few deities from the Galatians whom were adopted by the Greeks and added to the greater Greek Pantheon (The most notable is Telesphorus.).
Same here.
Read the book or epistle of Galatians in the Holy Bible ,part of the New Testament. Gives an insight.
Only things left from them are, names of galata and galatasaray, ankara(angora, anchor; as they settled somewhere at last), tork(the necklaces they wore, today it’s the name of the spiky accessory worn on kangal dogs, and it’s a possibility that kangal dogs were brought by the celts.
he talk bulshit that tribes returned back to they ancestors lands hittites , the european celts were a mix of central european tribes from switzeland austria with hittites and other tribes from near east that migrated to central europe
Those cities didn't found by Galatians, rather settled by Galatians. Ankara for example inhabited since Hatti city states, and also Greekness of these central regions in Early Hellenistic period is depend on how you look at them. Overall population were still more native than Greek, Pessinus was like a theocratic city state based on Cybele (mother goddess native to Asia Minor) cult. Of course Greek culture overcame in time but remember even as late as 5th-6th century AD there were still communities whom maintained there non-Greek language and heritage. I feel these issues are usually neglected outside the academic circles, anyway nice video nonetheless.
yeh the Greek was not even native to Anatolia, they were also settlers just like the Celts, there were a lot of other native ethnic group that still live there between the Greek and the Celts times. The Hittites and Hattie were probably the earliest people to build a kingdom in Anatolia, they have been there way back when the Greek were still in Greece. In Earlier times the Greek only settled in the coastal cities because the Greek are a maritime people and their city states were always thalasocracy in nature winch means their kingdom and city states always involved in maritime tradings and they need to be near to the sea just like in Greece. Central Anatolia like in Ankara did later became Hellenistic but it took a very long time until that happened.
Try harder to discount the Greek influence 🤣🤣🤣
@@rogerdodger8813 Why would i need that? It's not a mystery the things that i wrote, i have studied in this specific area and i know my country's history better than a random Westerner.
Interesting - it's an ashame that the native anatolian language disappeared
One important thing to note is all of Anatolia was Hellenized but that didn’t make it “Greek”. For instance; they would have green customs, buildings, and their written language was Greek but that didn’t mean they were geeks, nor was their spoken language Greek. These peoples were gradually assimilated.
Gauls invaded and looted the largest part of Greece. They succeeded to surpass Spercheios river and the Thermopylae with the same strategic way of the secret passage behind its mountain. Eventually they were defeated and devastated in the battle of Delphi and mostly in the battle of Kokkalia.
Kokkalia is an area in my homeland , on the mountain range between mt Tymfristos and mt Grammeni Oxia (now the border between Evrytania and Fthiotis prefects).
For years the farmers were founding small traces of bones in the area and some metallic broken parts of weaponry.
Kokkalia derives from Kokkala:bones.

in the village where my parents grow up about 100km in the east of ankara i can remember that i was wondering about seeing this blonde haired girl with blue eyes between dark haired people , blonde hairs are realy unusual there^^ both parents are dark haired . im dark haired too but i got a few red hairs in my beard =)
She is one of the Slavic slaves who were brought by the Romans to Anatolia
Ottomans stole young people from all the regions they conquered,so that's why you have so many European looking people in Turkey.
IDK what kind of crack you've been smoking but Celts weren't blond and there are Turkic people know for their blond hair and fair skin like the Cumans. More over blonde hair isn't that rare at all, the fk you on about. Both my grandfathers, most of my cousins, my youngest sisters are all blond. Not a single non Turk in the family in gov records going up to the 1730's. Blonde hair isn't as common in Turkey as in Europe but it's not so rare and nor does it imply any kind of ancestry as Turkic phenotype has a large variety and none of the people that were in Turkey were blond except the Nordic Vangardian mercenaries that the Byzantine's imported. Modern day Greeks are on average darker than Turks. Armenians are just as dark as the average Kurd etc. If you look at any Tatar population which migrated to Anatolia in droves through out the Ottoman empire and also after fleeing from Russian and Soviet repression, Tatars on average probably have more blond people than most western nations.
The Cumans were literally called the "blond people" by their Slavic neighbors.. their blondness was such a big feature even people who had a on average higher percentage of blond people felt the need to refer to the cumans as the "blond people"
in short you comment is extremely misguided.
Mayhab she is descend from Jewish, circissian, Galat... Who knows. Ottoman empire was complicated and had many diversity under same primo roof
The thought of Galatian genetics in modern Turkish population is more than unlikely. However with Turkey being a Brazilian-tier cauldron of ethnicities, it is probably the result of any of the various islamised ethnicities during Ottoman era.
Sophia the capital of Bulgaria old name is Serdika. The Celtic tribe Serdi had a settlement there.City Vidin on Danube also was Celtic settlement called Bdin. Bulgarians use that name also. There immerged tribes which were mixed thraco-celtic in the region from Danube river down to the city of Thessaloniki. Celts also had 60 years survived kingdom in Eastern Thrace.
yep its me the most Celtic you can get i carry all that peoples DNA proved by ancient samples no bull
Kinda crazy that the celts founded two modern capital cities
@@popocrispies - They also founded Paris (Lutetia Parisorum) and Vienna (Vindobona).
Serdi were thracians

Thank you mate!
This is one of my fav videos of ours. Good work on the editing!
Dude your quality is getting so good. Such outstanding content!
Terrific video! Very well researched and the animations are great.
By the First century AD, the Gauls of Anatolian Galatia had been completeley Hellenised, hence the epistle to the Galatians written in Greek by Paul, written between 48-53 AD
Greek was the working language in all the region, much like Latin was in Medieval Europe, but surely many groups still retained their native languages for local communication. Not an expert myself but I've been told that Galatians did retain Celtic language (to my own surprise) for a long time.
@@LuisAldamiz for some bizarre reason, today's greeks entertain the very idea that whomever have spoken greek belongs to them for eternity. as if european kelts didn't know latin, or the whole south america speaks spanish.
@@LuisAldamiz After the 4th c. AD not even one, una, одна inscription, suggesting the usage of Celtic as the every-day language of the Anatolian Galatians, exists in the area of Anatolian Galatia. Until the 4th c. some regions in Anatolian Galatia were bilingual, but most of the area had been completely Hellenised. In fact, we know that Galatian mercenaries served in the Egyptian army of Ptolemy, by the graffiti they've left, their names seem to have Celtic origin, but the inscriptions are in GREEK, and by the fluency, we gather that Greek was their native language
@@taochanga Anatolia was the heartland of Medieval & Byzantine Greek civilization, the millions of Greeks inhabiting the area at the time of the Seljuk nomads invading the area, did not vanish suddenly. I'd suggest you should take some DNA test, buckle up, I'm sure you'll find you have substantial Greek DNA within you, even, -God forbid- Armenian
@@apmoy70 i have balkanic ancestry, many people in turkey have caucassus ancestry. you guys love to understand greek or turkish or any ethnicity as separate species which is baseless. cultures merge into each other and the meaning of cultural labels change over time. around 400ad, the difference between two native greek speaking persons, one pagan and one christian was as sharp as you would perceive today between what you call greek and turkish. my point is, there are geographic rootedness, racism and culturalism is quite pointless.
Keep these videos coming Know History. You are doing really well!. Dude your quality is getting so good. Such outstanding content!.
The place where the Aetolians defeated the Celts is known today as "Kokkalia" meaning Bone field, because the farmers of the region were discovering celtic bones almost every time they were digging the soil.
Kokkal in Kurdish hard things like bone! Bone=hestia
Excellent video!
They were speaking Celtic at home, speaking Greek in public and using Latin for formal things.
You can still see red orange haired people around Ankara. They say they are remnants of Celtic people
Not necessarily. red hair is not something that only Celts had. In any case most of these Celts became Greeks and they were Turkified like most of the Population of Turkey 100 years ago or expelled.
@@rogerdodger8813 there is no such colour in Turkic and Mediterranean peoples. Also people here in Anatolia where I live they only turkified by culture not by genes. Some groups we call Türkmen or Yörük they still have Asian look because they were living in isolated areas
@@ilkererol1986 rubbish. Seen Afghans, Arabs,Syrians with red hair. Actually i read that it originated in central Asia. Which makes more sense when you see turks with red hair.
Dont lie. I am Turkih and almost all Turkish people even dont know glatians and even celts
@@ilkererol1986 uighurs are famous for having blonde and red hair, while still looking asian. We Turks are diverse and people just dont want to accept this.
Narrow passes are great for defense but you got to cover your flanks, especially if your enemy is familiar with mountains like the Persians and the Celts
epic vid, using imperator rome is pretty smart. love the content!
Fascinating spec of history! Thx. for the story.✌️👍
I see Imperator Rome, I subscribe. Thanks for this channel btw. Makes me excited to play factions I haven't yet.
Turkey is one of the most complex geographies in the world, where people from many different backgrounds live together. Let me tell you an interesting anecdote. In the 11th century, when a Norman commander named Roussel de Bailleul came to Asia Minor to aid Eastern Rome against the Seljuks, he encountered a people similar to their own culture in Asia Minor. And he founded a Norman Kingdom, including my city Kastamonu (Kastra Komnen). The Eastern Roman, on the other hand, made an alliance with their enemies, the Seljuks, to destroy this kingdom and they destroyed the kingdom together. Unbelievably, Galatians preserved their cultural values until the 11th century.
Correction:
Ankara was not founded by Celts. It was founded by Anatolian tribes, and later became a Greek city, hence the name “Ánkyra” (Greek for Anchor). When the Celts took control they were much smaller in number compared to the overall population of Ankara, and thus quickly adopted the Greek ethnicity.
Source?
@@owyni7523 There is no source, I made it up. Do you have a problem with that?
@@owyni7523 it was revealed to him in a dream
@@owyni7523 TH-cam doesn’t let you comment links, but there are several archeological and literary sources cited on Ankara’s Wikipedia page. Also Pausanias (ancient historian and geographer) himself wrote about the history of Ankara. There is a lot of evidence and I’m not the only one pointing it out if you scroll through the comments
this is true, but it took some long centuries for the celtic language to disappear. even at around 400ad, celtic was spoken around ankara.
After this video it will be obvious that Apostle' s Paul epistle (letter) to Galatians was not set to Asterix and his village but to these people 😊
Great video, thank you! Can you please do a video on the Celts of the Alps in Noricum? Likely the term Galatians is derived from Proto-Celtic *galnati (“to be able”). See also Κελτός (Keltós) and Latin Gallus, which might be from the same source. Even the name Portugal contains the same root (gal for Gaul i.e. harbour of the Gauls of port of the Celts). Even the name Britain is likely of Celtic origin. As Brittānia from the 1st century B.C.E., from Ancient Greek Πρεττανία (Prettanía), used by Diodorus, earlier νῆσος (nêsos) Πρεττανική (Prettanikḗ) or Βρεττανίαι (Brettaníai), used by Pytheas (4th century B.C.E.) of the entire archipelago now known as the British Isles. The Ancient Greek name is ultimately from a Celtic ethnonym, reconstructed as early Brythonic *Pritani, perhaps from a Proto-Celtic *Kʷritanī, *Kʷritenī, whence Welsh Prydyn (“Picts”), Old Irish Cruthne, Cru(i)then-túath (“Picts”), from Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“to do”).
thanks for finally pointing out that Cruithini were gaeilge speakers, it bugs me that this is ignored or dismissed, if we cannot be honest about ancient history then what hope for contemporary education . There are two if not more ancient stone structures, that are exactly the same as those found in Turkey, it made me think the Gaels/ Gauls came from Galicia because they are thousands of years old, not the other way around, these same structures , monuments are also across the Iberian pennisula ie Castille and Leon and Portugal. The ones in Castille and Leon were dedicated to the Cailleach, a Grandmother deity who in Ireland the story goes, she left the stones , she a giant Grandmother Goddess walked across the land carrying the stones in her apron and dropped them as she walked...
@@rachelLadyD You are welcome. My impression is that in Europe the influence of two cultures is heavily underestimated even to the point of neglecting them. The first is the Celtic influence on European history and the second is Greek influence. In Noricum, today's Austria both the Romans and Germans tried to eradicate the Celts by culturally assimilating them. However, Noric steel was the most famous in the entire Roman Empire, known as Ferrum Noricum. Today most Austrians only speak German, however, Celtic heritage is still an essential part of Austrian nationalism and republicanism. In 1919 they even tried to establish the country as "Norische Republik" or "Noric Republic". You see, even the so-called "Austrian" family of Habsburg is not Austrian, they are Swiss. Original Austria comes from the Babenberg family, who are a direct bloodline of the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople. Both the Germans and Romans hate Austria's Celtic and Greek roots, so they have tried to eradicate them. The history of Ireland is similar in many ways. The Germans (English speaking in their case) tried to assimilate them with language bans. However, one cannot eradicate the Celts. And concerning the Greeks, the entire New Testament is written in Greek and Rome hated this. If you look closely they mistranslated the word "Greek" to "Gentile" in newer versions of the Bible. The word "Greek" did not only refer to ethnic Greeks, who most likely are descendants of Javan (son of Japheth) but to everyone who spoke Greek. Greek referred to "educated people" in the Bible. Today we are using a Latin script in most of Europe because of Rome. However, in the East they use Cyrillic scripts which were created by Saint Cyrill who invented all of the alphabets for the Slavs because they could not read. And this is the next misconception of today's mind, Cyrillic is not Slavic at all. It is a modification of the Greek alphabet with the intention to preach the Gospel to the illiterate pagan Slavs. Even the Galatians (book of Galatians in the New Testament) spoke both Greek and Celtic. So as a Celt, you have to read the book of Galatians with very different eyes. Saint Paul is directly addressing our people. Please understand me correctly here, German and Latin culture have their place too. But they need to stop forcing their believes on the Greeks and Celts by falsifying our history and persecuting us for simply staying close to our roots.
My condolences to you for being born an *lbanian
we all know that the Celts cultural people come from Anatolia , only stupid people say other thing , swiss Austrian peoppke from bronze age was a mix of people from anatolia , ones from neolitic others from bronze age , others iron age all from anatolia ( central european farmers , hittite mitani , hurrians , bronze age , persian and lydians iron age , all from anatolia , yes the celtic people were anatolian , before were caucasian
Noricum was formed after the Celts/Gauls migrated into it. Prior to the migration, the Land of what became known as Noricum was inhabited by Pannonian Peoples. When the Gauls invaded and occupied Britain it was already known by that Name as the Gauls described it as the Land where nothing grows.
I really enjoyed this
I did not know this. Thank you. I would recommend Xenophon for an early story about Greeks moving through Turkey (some mercenaries who were stranded when their Persian patron got whacked).
Thanks , very interesting
Interesting. I've been to Ankara recently and found some mentions of the Celts in the Roman Baths museum.

Many talk about the Celts of Anatolia. But few talk about the Thracians of Anatolia
Even Less talk about the Greeks of Anatolia.
So, this is one of the interesting cases where 'the celts' refers to an almost mythical group. IF we buy the Hallstatt C theory, then it makes sense to identify Brenus and this arm of the La Tene as a core celtic group. But if we buy the Bronze Age Trade hypothesis (which I do find more plausible) then the la tene are a related-fringe group who are at the margins of what is 'celtic'.
It comes down to an ontological question - is a culture/ethnicity something that evolves on the model of biology, following strict genealogical descent, or does it evolve like language, admitting of vast and fairly unfettered cross-pollenation. At a certain point, it looks like the greek term 'Gaul' as an ethnic designator isn't much more specific than 'north-westener'.
I buy the Bronze Age theory too but still La Tène was the main and most impressive Celtic-specific phase even if also the last one (excepting insular Celts obviously). I can't say it was "fringe" in any way but very central and the essence of most of their expansion. IMO:
1. Proto-Celts coalesce in the early/middle Bronze Age in historical Swabia, maybe also Rhineland.
2. Celto-Italics expand with Urnfields culture, Celts towards the West (SW) mostly, Italics rather in the East via Veneto. Other related groups maybe involved as well but hard to tell because they didn't survive historically unless we accept the theory that Lusitanians were something in between (I prefer to consider them P-Celts, while Celtiberians were Q-Celts... but a Numantian dice is clearly P-Celtic, with "P" for "five", so maybe it was even more complex, in any case the P/Q issue is bigger than just Celts with most Western Indoeuropean languages showing preference for one or the other).
3. Hallstatt is probably already a Celtic-specific culture and the last pan-Celtic one (c. 590 BCE Iberian Celts get cut off from continental ones by Iberian expansion northwards in Catalonia and coastal Languedoc, probably in alliance with the Greeks of Marseilles).
4. La Tène is when Celts expanded most vigorously, into most of Transalpine Gaul, Britain and Ireland, and also southwards into Emilia-Romagna and eastwards into Pannonia and later the famous invasion of the Balcans and eventual settlement in Galatia. It's when they most develop their proto-civilization (large oppidae which were centers of trade and political power and not mere forts, calling them "towns" is not wrong and anyhow "town" is derived from Celtic "dun", with that same meaning) and when Druidism was adopted, surely by recycling a pre-Indoeuropean priestly class/caste in Britain. That relatively civilized stage achieved became a weakness vs the Germanics however, which razed their "duns", destroying as result social, economic and political power and pushing the Celts southwards, a process we find still ongoing when Caesar invaded Gallia Comata.
"Gaul" is Roman, the Greek term is "Galatia".
@@nektariosorfanoudakis2270 - Different words in different geographies and historical contexts. Latin (Roman was never a language) used typically Gallus (Gaul person, also rooster) and Gallia (Gaul country, both Cisalpine and Transalpine), which seem to be closely related to the Celtic usual endonym "Gael" (or similar). Galatia, Gallaecia, etc. also derive from the same word but in different contexts.
On the other hand Keltos is the original Greek word, surely coined at Marseilles first and IMO derived from some Vasconic slur (Basque "keldo" = vagabond, other kel- words exist and are all despective). It is quite apparent in the archaeological and even to some extent proto-historical documentation record that Phocaean Greeks were in good relations with pre-Indoeuropeans in Western Europe: Iberian alliance vs Celts in Catalonia-Languedoc easily inferred from the archaeological record, narration of Tartessos strongly suggestive of these wanting some alternative to the Phoenician traders (who surely destroyed the city soon afterwards).
The ancient usage of Kelt-/Celt- seems limited to Iberia quite curiously: Celtiberi, Celtici, what also seems to support this idea of Celt (Keltos) being specific of the Ibero-Phocaean interactions and eventually adopted by Celts themselves in some cases.
I personally favor the "Celtic from the West"theory by Barry Cunliffe.
According to his vieuw the Celtic origine lays in southern Portugal and spread the Atlantic shore as a lingua franca before spreading into central Europe.
@@nektariosorfanoudakis2270 you are, ofc, correct. brainfart on my part Dx
So Ankara was actually founded by celts. This is some great information to use at parties (I'm Turkish)
No it was not. It was founded by Anatolians. The word Ankara is Greek for “Anchor” and was given to the city well before the Celts arrived
it wasn't found by the kelts, i am from ankara and this is not true.
Lol, although its true that its unlikely that the city itself was founded by the Galatians, it was definitly occupied and develloped by them anyway at one point.
Take Rome for example, Latins founded the village yea, Etrurian however develloped the city, which made it into an Etruscan city filled with Latin population
@@erwannthietart3602 “Developed” probably isn’t the best word since these Celts were relatively small in number compared to the large population of Ankara, hence why they so quickly assimilated and adopted Hellenic culture
@@universetraveler5826 building 3 huts counts as devellop, not a lot granted hahaha
You know that the boundaries between Asia and Europe is just a historical/geographical concept and that ancient peoples travelled with relative freedom, as long as the land was hospitable.
There is no evidence these 'Galatians' the Greeks referred to were "Celts". No one is or was a "Celt". A "Celtis" is an Old Latin word that means 'chisel'. Look up the word origin for Celt if you need clarification..
"Scythians" is a Greek reference to a 'Scythe'; the utensil used by the local Wheat farmers with whom the Black Sea Greeks traded with..

Yeah, some of these Galatians mixed with other local Anatolians who were Hellenized, and Greeks themselves and eventually Turks. Yet some of their descendants continue to exist unmixed in these areas and noticeable with their prominent red hair. They are often thought to be of Circassian/Chechen descent due to this feature when they go to big cities like Istanbul.

An interesting video. But can I ask why did you use that location as Tylis or Tyle and what are your sources about it? As far as I know, the capital of the celtic state that was founded on the Balkans is still debated and its location is heavily debated. 5:40
In another timeline, an newly independent larger Greece in the 19th/early 20th century would control these lands and invite irish & scottish settlers to re-celticize Galatia. :)
I slapped my face at the pass they discovered to encircle the Greeks at Thermopylae, COULD YOU GUYS BLOCK THAT FRIKIN GOAT PATH ALREADY!
Same here, fascinating, a fact this history buff didn't know! I am from Galatia! Not only that having born in Lyconia, which merged to become a province of The Roman Empire.
I was wondering when they get around to this. This is a discussion I had with my brother many years ago. And I have been searching for the answe for a long time. Anatolians and Celt, and now the picture of Gobekli Teppe comes into focus. Along with the Paracas, and the revelation of Abraham being from Ur in Anatolia, the pieces are coming together. Interesting.
and if you think today Turkish people still has shaman and pagan beliefs it will be more interesting :)
@Serkanbah You skipped right over Abraham... didn't you? I am not sure how you can miss that, seeing he has given the world great grief (in their opinion) that still exists today. There is a lot of fill in that I left out. But the point is that there is a reason Anatolia may be the point of migration spreading.
0:12 Hi, where did you guys get this 3D work of Anatolia? Awesome work btw.
Are you Portuguese? When I visited your beautiful land, I attended an out door Celtic festival and was told that in the northern region, there are lots of Celtic people still living there. Is this true?
I am and thank you! Ahah but that is bold claim! We are indeed descendent of those celts and a lot more other ancient people but by no means are we celts today! Nevertheless, the northern parts or portugal + galicia in spain are the most celtic regions in the whole iberian peninsula iirc! :D the festivals are amazing!
It seems that Southern Portugal was the original place of origine of the Celts or at least the Celtic language. It's original lats in the Atlantic traderoutes as a trade language and not so much ethnic spreading.

As an Anatolian, I always felt close to the Celts and their culture. Thank you for this video 🙂
What about feeling close to Greek and Armenians? Those are indigenous people, and Kelts become first Greek and Armenian thousands of years before Turks appeared on the Horizon.
@@gidemnas Actually I am partly Greek, that had to convert after the Republic...But it is really hard to talk about it, and note that I did not say Turk, but Anatolian :-)
@@gidemnas I definitely think that Turks and Kurds in general should feel closer to Greeks and Armenians and vice versa, we have an incredible amount of common cultural heritage. Long live the brotherhood of the peoples and down with tyrannical nationalism!
@mdevres there's is no vice versa or nationalism.
Some ( total majority) of turks and kurds are direct dcendants of Armenians and Greeks forcibly islamised , turkiied or kurdified . From a genetic point that is clear that those people are the products of Genocides ,Jizya, who did not pay, Devshirme, who paid, women stolen and raped (their kids). that is not vice versa feeling. That is regret.
We look to you like someone who was part of us but have been stolen and defiled (desecrated).
It looks like Mr. Anatolian prefers to express some feelings to Celts ,but not Armenians and Greeks .
Do you know why ?! Because Irish , Welsh, and other"white people " were celts ?! (Celts are cool ?!) That is because turks had stolen humiliated not only "anatolians" ancestors whom tirks had humiliated defiled / desecrated but they have desecrated the minds of the grandsons- today's people.
That is like when sombody rape the woman and his son came and proudly say to woman's brothers and other relatives how big hero his father is because he killed the fiancee of his mom and after raped her.
This is how " turks" behave and how we see them
Just question to you Mr.Anatolian . You are half Greek, and what is your second half ?! Is it Turkmen ,Kurd?! Celt,Hettit ,Luwian ( btw they become Armenians and Greeks 2000 years before turks even stepped onto the soil of Minor Asia ), what is his second half ?! "Anatolian"?!
You know why ?! Because he still thinks this way "his father is not the infidel fiancee of the raped woman (mom) , but the hero who killed him and that woman (the mom) after felt into love to the rapist, Ohhh sorry ," the hero" .This is allegory. Btw do not understand this, literally pls or attempt to insult you or other people..
I was trying to explain to you what and how we see that you called vice versa. Of course, it was rough generalization.
I'm sure you are also Atheist, but you are also not brave enough to turn to Christianity to the faith of your not far ancestors.You feel that something is wrong. Ohhh, that is because of Irish blood oh sorry Celtic blood, maybe this is the reason why you think about paganism. Again, this is not about yo. This is about the thousands of people in Anatolia who feel the same.

One of Turkeys top Football teams is called Galata Saray... Palace of the Galatians
Actually the name of the team comes from the Galata district of Constantinople (now Istanbul). Galata Saray was founded in that district and that's why it has that name. Now the Galata district is called Karaköy because Turkey wanted to disassociate it with Greeks..
And we don't actually know if the name of the Galata district has something to do with Gauls. Some say that it's because the area had a lot of sheep and they produce a lot of milk which called Γάλα (Gala) in Greek.
@@starman1144 The Galata district of Istanbul, formerly Constantinople was named after the Galatians. The same Galatians/ Gallic, Gauls mentioned in St Pauls Letter in the Bible. Karakoy simply means 'Black Village'.
@@mukhumor as I said in my second comment we are not sure if the Galata district is named after the Gauls. It's just one possibility
@@starman1144 Who is 'we'? Are you multiple people or are you part of a gang? Galatia was a region in north-central Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) settled by the Celtic Gauls c. 278-277 BCE. Galatia (/ɡəˈleɪʃə/; Ancient Greek: Γαλατία, Galatía, "Gaul") was an ancient area in the highlands of central Anatolia, roughly corresponding to the provinces of Ankara and Eskişehir, in modern Turkey. Galatia was named after the Gauls from Thrace (cf. Tylis), who settled here and became a small transient foreign tribe in the 3rd century BC, following the Gallic invasion of the Balkans in 279 BC.
I want to indicate that Anatolia (or Asia Minor) is not a part of "Asia" in antiquity yes it was the actual "Asia" but if we compare that to modern times we can say that Anatolia is more integrated with Europe rather than Asia, so I think when we are talking about Anatolia we should mention it as a Europe integrated part of the world.

According to several sources, Ankara was not founded by the Gauls. It was founded as a small village by the Hatti people more than a thousand years before the Gauls arrived in Anatolia. After the Hatti, it became a Hittite village, and after them, the Phrygians turned it into a major city. If was only after that, that the Gauls arrived in the city.
Germanic origins for the Gauls maybe, but they married from and imported many Druidic and Hiberno-Celtic elements from the British Isles.
Sometimes the mythic origins usually pan out to be closer to the truth than the guesswork of a Celtophilic historian from the continent.
There was no Germany.

@@MarcoBonechi still wondering WTF you're talking about btw
A forgotten trumph even bigger than that of Leonidas, especially when the looters bar bat Celts tried to steal the thesaurus of DELPHI. Aetolians men and women destroyed them to the ground.
The Hallstatt model is wrong; Celts originated in the Rhine River Basin and spread westward, conquering Gaul, The British Isles, and much of Iberia. The later expansions eastward into modern Austria and the Balkans are also not the origin of the Galatians, as we know that the Tectosagii at the very least were from Gaul proper.
The province of Galatia would in the first century CE be the first Celts to accept Christianity. The letter of Paul to the church in Galatia is the book of Galatians. This is where Celtic Christianity begins. The Irish would be the last Celts to accept Christianity.
It would help to show on th map the places mentioned in the verbal presentation .
Спасибо очень интересно
Спасибо! Пожалуйста! :D
So many Celts named Brennus. It was like their Bob.
It means war lord and Celts (mostly Gauls) were considered great warriors
How do you know that Celts crossed La manche on 275BCE exactly? What's the source?
Not on 275BCE exactly, but BY. There's extensive material evidence that correlates this. Many historians believe they were throughout Britain far earlier. There is no consensus, but most agree they were in Britain by at least 275BCE.
I've often wondered what would of happened if the whole all of the Balkans was conquered by the Celts instead of having pockets of communities everywhere.

@@3.kademetekme407 Few people in Turkey have anything to do with Turkic people.
People from Georgia actually have a higher admixture of Turkic tribes than people in central Turkey do.
I've always love the stories and tales, especially the historical ones...
Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians, i guess the descendants of these people
The Celts originated from Gaul spreading into Germany and Pannonia (East Austria was originally part of Pannonia just like Hungary and other Regions bordering Dacia and the Balkans) prior to the Roman and German Conquests of what became Austria. The Gauls even Celticized the British Isles.
? Im Breton the last celtic language on the continent despite being islandic celt, love to study celt stuff, i can garantee Gallia is NOT the origins of the celts. Like Helvetia is closer to that than the Gauls and they mostly came from South Germany.
The Gauls arent even anything close to a unified culture anyway, the Celts arent even a unified culture they are a group of culture of loosely related people sharing a few common aspects.
The Germanic tribes did take over the land of origin of the Celts later on before the Celts mostly fell apart but prior yea...
These lands of origin were the one that expanded Eastward towards the Balkans Galatia and Dacia, also the ones to go toward Gallia and cross the Pyrhenees. The only thing the Gallic celts did do is Celticize the british isle because it was done in a different wave of colonisation isolated from the rest.
And also get a good chunk of controll over Italy at one point? Hmmmmm
@@erwannthietart3602 no, the Germans were conquered by the Celts/Gauls who expanded Eastward into Germany and much of other Europe. The Celtic/Gaulish Culture predates the Hallstatt and Helvetii (a Germanic Tribe conquered by Gauls) as they were conquered by the Gauls for Centuries prior to the Rise of the Roman Empire. The modern French are Descendants of the Gauls so we are the original Celts of Europe. The Ligurians, Latins, Sardinians, Tuscans, and others of Italy weren't unified until the rise of the Roman Empire but they were all Italians. By your Logic if you claim the French to descend from the Franks/Germans then the Germans descend from the Gauls/Celts in the first Place as the Gauls spread Eastward to occupy them for Centuries. There are even many German Villages, Cities, Rivers, Hills, etc. named after those of France/Gaul.
@@BumblebeeTuna8 you make laugh with your stupidity
One of the most twisted perceptions of history ever. The reason they were there wasn’t because they went eastward, it was because they were from there and went westwards through the Mediterranean. This is why we constantly see the ever famous Gal appear in so many place names. And where the Galleon ship gets its name. It’s still present in place names such as Galway, Galicia, Galles (Wales, which in reality comes from the word Gwalia), Gallipoli, Etc etc. there is also Physical proof as they found Skeletal remains under Stonehenge and matched closest to the people of Modern day Wales and Parts of Turkey.
All is correct. Only small remark- parts of Turkey, very likely to be where indigenous to the area population lived- Armenians, Greeks.
That’s not true, Greek records show that they came from Europe and went eastwards into turkey
I didn’t know it happened so “recently” obviously it was over 2000 years ago but I just assumed that they were just there for longer

Well the Ottoman Maps mark the Celtic names of Gaer and (Ankyra) Yn Caerau in Galatea certainly they are Brythonic Celtic names and in Croatia they have stories of Thousands of Celts from the West including families. These may well have been some of the tribes about 500 BC that came East, others had gone into what is now Italy and lived and thrived amongst the Etruscans these were also of Brythonic types, their main city was Caeau which still exists and was a important trading City, the fledgling City of Rome had been founded by the Etruscans and there were Celts there as well and they also lived amongst the Romans later, it is known that many Romans knew of Brittania through the Etruscans and the Greeks, who had traded there for about a Thousand years before the Romans arrived in Britain, Fiesole was an important Celtic area around Florence in Tuscany, there is an interesting museum there that have Celtic artefacts including a Bronze bull which one very similar was found at a Hillfort Near Maesteg in South Wales and dated to 800 BC, these Celtic Tribes included Brennus later, Brennus was the Greek way of saying the Brythonic Celtic name for a King Brenin. There are also maps that show where the Celts moved in Southern Turkey and even Eastern Turkey, moving with Greeks and later Armenians, Romans used Celts in Turkey and there were Celts with the Spartans at Thermopylae.
If you are a Cymro like myself you will probably find Turks are very comfortable with you, so to strangely Kurds, they know they have encounters with Celts in their Histories, the word Khymry also comes up in Southern Turkey, also around the Van area of Turkey a Armenian stronghold in ancient times, Anatolia was a mass of different races Celts among them. Khymry and Cymru have the same meaning Brotherhood.
It was also noted by Homer that Trojans had Keltoi names, that well maybe correct, I have some diaries of a Relative of mine who was a noted archaeologist from Victorian Times Sir Arthur Evans of Knossos fame or infamy if you wanted the opinion of the English Establishment, he hated being called English by the way being a Cymric speaker and was a proud Celt.
Little is talked or writte about his quests and travels in Anatolia Galatea and Capadoccia in Turkey he had visited the sits around the Bospherus and the Aegean, but he was more interested in the Central part of Turkey where Alexander and Darius Xerxes etc would have Travelled and Central to that is Galatea he visited the area of Gaer near Ankara and looked at the Burial Mounds that were to detail the same as in Britain, the ones that are still left and not Destroyed date from 600 BC to about 300 AD, and would have been used for Generations, he did not open any. They had obviously thrived for Centuries, Bodrum has Celtic Connections as does Efes but these are only conjecture, but Capadoccia has many interesting sites that are untouched to date.
Christianity as in Britain came early to the Celts and it is known that the Welsh saint Pelargus visited Greece and what is now Turkey in the early 4th Century AD , he was later Ex Communicated by Saint David at Cardigan in the early 6th Century some Two Hundred years after his Death, Pelargus his Welsh name is Pelyr is greatly revered in the Greek Georgian Serbian Russian and Ukrainian Orthdox Church, as a Icon which can be found in Moscow St Petersburg Athens Istanbul Belgrade and many Monasteries.
The only reference in writing of his death, is in the Church at Caerwent in Gwent where there is a Stone probable grave marker with his Greek Name written on it in Latin alongside that stone is another to the Roman Paulinus.
He is thought to come back to what is now Wales to die, he is one of the Founders of the Colleges at Llanilltyd Fawr and Llancarfan which began in the 3rd Century and were obliterated by the Normans in the Twelth Century, many Saints Kings and High Ecclesiasts were Taught the Scriptures and Laws there like St Illtyd who taught there and later Cwentyn Malo Non David Samson Iago and hundreds of others in the area where the Romans had brought Christianity first to Britain in the late 1st Century . History in Britain is linked to Europe much earlier than what Historians like to say . Seek and ye will find sayeth the Lord.

In Turkey today, excluding the Thrace (Rumeli) region and the eastern and central Black Sea regions (I mean Kipchak, Balkan and Caucasian origin Turks), the region (city) with the highest number of blond people is yozgat. Having blonde hair is a common feature among Yozgat Turks. At the same time, Yozgat is the city with the highest rate of red-haired people in Turkey. This situation BC. It is related to the Celts who came to Anatolia in the 300s and founded the Galatia kingdom in Anatolia. The Celts managed to preserve their language for a long time. Some of them took Greek names and became Greek. In the sources, the king of Galatia is mentioned in the Battle of Manzikert. When the Turks came to Anatolia, this people is not mentioned at all. These people did not suddenly disappear. They became Muslims and became Turkish. In other words, the Celts did not disappear, they still live in Central Anatolia (especially around Yozgat and Çorum). People who have traveled all over Anatolia will understand what I'm talking about.
Aren't those red and blonde people more likely to be Circassians as they settled in those regions you mentioned and are very fair people.
@@damionkeeling3103What does it have to do with Circassians? I don't understand this. Circassians live in some parts of Central Anatolia and the Black Sea region. Also, I have never seen a red-haired Circassian.
@@xxyy5431 Fair enough, I don't live there, but the Circassians came from the Caucasus' and blonde and red haired people are relatively common there. Also the Gauls were said to be mixed with the Greeks as far back as the 2nd century bc so it's unlikely their descendants make up a great percentage of the population over 2000 years later and especially for red hair which is a recessive gene. There weren't that many Gauls to begin with, they formed an aristocracy over the local Phrygians, Greeks and what ever other people were around at the time.
@@damionkeeling31031) Most Circassians are blonde, but their characteristic features are white skin and dark hair. 2) Blonde rate in Turkey is around 30% in Thrace (Balkan), around 20-25% in the Eastern Black Sea region, and around 15% in Yozgat. This is very few or rare outside of the regions I mentioned. The phenotype varies according to the regions of Turkey. 3) I didn't say redheads are common. For example, if you see 1 redhead in 1000 people on the street, you will see 1 or 2 out of 100 people in Yozgat. 4) The presence of the king of Galatia is mentioned in the Battle of Manzikert. A French traveler who came to Anatolia in those years realized that there was a tribe similar to them. So, although the Galatians used Greek names (perhaps they spoke Greek), they were aware of their own identity. 5) A friend of mine from there did a DNA test and it was 60% Celtic. (DNA results show Scotland and Ireland.)

Now you know to whom Apostle Paul addressed the epistle to Galatians. He didn't send it to Asterix and Obelix 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Re. the introduction, I have to generally commend your mapping effort, whcih is much better than most we find online, however some corners should be cut in Iberia and also the Alps, while more land should be given to the Celts in what is now Hungary and Slovakia instead.
In Lusitania the Celts never conquered the coast, which remained in the hands of the Turduli and Conii (both probably of Tartessian or West Iberian language), in Cartaginense or modern La Mancha you also give them too much land, Astures and Cantabri were also pre-Indoeuropean (their own distinct group since at least the early Bronze Age). This is all apparent in the archaeological record and the most consolidated tomonymy such as -briga or seg- names.
In the Western Alps, the Ligures dominated and were clearly pre-Celtic and pre-Indoeuropean, in Veneto-Friuli they were Veneti, which are generally considered Italics and not Celts (that was surely the core route of Italic penetration from Central Europe in the Late Bronze Age and also linguistics say so). The Celtic route of entry was via what we now call Lombardy and it's one of the oldest expansions of the Celts (already in the Urnfields culture period or late Bronze Age), so it's probable tha Urnfields culture represent still poorly differentiated Celto-Italics but that Italics originated further east than the Celts and that Celts (or Gaels/Gauls, as they usually called themselves, Keltos is probably a Vasconic exonym with elements of slur, Basque keldo = vagabond, adopted by the Greeks of Massalia first of all) originated approximately in historical Suabia (Baden-Würtemberg, Alsace, Eastern Switzerland).
In Hungary-Slovakia or Pannonia, the sometimes called father of Celtic studies, Venceslas Kruta, says that there was a push in the La Tène (middle-late Iron Age) period by the Celts but they met resistance by the Dacians and thus a Celto-Dacian somewhat mixed cultural area emerged there, in any case Celts should be acknowledged west of the Danube, Dacians east of the Maros and maybe a buffer zone in between.
Celts also suffered important losses in the late Iron Age (bordering early History in the region) by the relentless advance of less civilized Germanics pushing from the North. Again per Kruta, the Germanics destroyed the Celtic oppidae (proto-cities) and with them their socio-economic structure. By the time of Caesar the Germanics were already pushing on the Upper Rhine area and that's part of why Rome intervened in Gaul and how events ensued in that period.
