- Join the Celtic druid Camma in her village as she conducts religious rites, serves as a healer, and mediates conflict between tribes.
--
As the sun rises in 55 BCE, Camma lays two pigeons on the altar at the center of her village. She wrings the birds’ necks and cuts them open to examine their entrails for divine messages. Camma is a druid. She conducts religious rites, serves as a judge, healer, and scholar, teaches children and mediates conflict between Celtic tribes. Philip Freeman outlines a day in the life of a druid.

That was the most pleasant visual snapping of an animals neck I have ever experienced
Heather Thomson It looked as if it was totally painless...
@@peroz1000 If she's that well practiced at it. It probably was.
Especially when the animals where seen alive while having their entrails examined
I can just imagine young kids misunderstanding it, thinking that birds must somehow have detachable heads... and next thing you know a horrible accident occurs with the pet parrot.

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.
@@hold_the_mike yeah this is always something that saddens me... we don't have much in the way of knowledge about the various tribes and peoples that lived in many parts of Europe. all we have are what others wrote about them, and the only folks who wrote about these peoples were Romans and Christians who both had reasons to denigrate the peoples and religions of the area. that and the Roman's Syncretism saying that some gods were just the same gods they worshipped but wrong. like how an Early version of Odin is syncretized with Mercury, Tyr with Mars and Thor with Hercules. at least with the Romans we have some records of the gods the peoples they encountered worshipped, even if we have to untangle a mess of localization
The Chieftains standing on their shields gave me such a flashback to Astérix & Obélix.

Yess...i was waiting for this comment
Oh man, perfect
The Celtic genocide is probably one of the most under appreciated tragedies in all of history. Thank the Gods we have the Eddas to preserve Germanic/Teutonic culture, but there’s really just nothing to speak of the Druidic culture.
Lol without the romans you would probably not be watching this video
Even the Eddas were written by christians. Can't escape them!
Toq The Wise well considering the celts still we’re able to fight back for a long time it’s impressive, makes me think how Visigoths succeeded on attacking Rome but not the celts...
Hundreds of years of native Celtic culture wiped out. It's very sad, first the Romans then Christianity
@@VanadzorImSirac As if that would justify an atrocity like genocide if it were true. (which it is not)

Post Scriptum
The Roman senators back at home were very off at the last cocktail party.
I loved this part, especially the reference to the difficulties in providing for his troops Caesar encountered in Gaul.
McHrozni stop
I died laughing when I saw that. The graphics design team had a great time in this one.
"The way the senators held their knives was quite off"
Okay, I want to drop a fun fact because the letter made me think of it.
I read De Bello Gallico my senior year of HS for AP Latin. As established in the video, there were people in Gaul who could read Latin. At one point, Julius Caesar has a top secret letter he needs to send, but is afraid that it will be intercepted. His solution? He writes the letter in Latin, but uses the Greek alphabet because the gauls didn't know Greek.
That was genius.
@@corgimations they probably mean as in 'period' but I suppose back then it had to be written as a word
"XOXOXO"

Is it me or does somebody else get the vibe of *Asterix & Obelix?*
same here. Potions, Cesar, Gaul, Roman, chief stands on the shield that carry by other men, etc
I mean, it's what Asterix & Obelix are based on. Celtic culture (Their village is the north of what's now know as the region of Brittany in France, which is still today a region that trives of it's 'modern' celtic culture (you may have heard of the interceltic festival of Lorient, which is between all celtic nations/regions: Brittany, Wales, Scotland, Isle of Man, Ireland and Cornwall)
Me
It's probably due to all the inaccurate "carrying their leaders on shields", "wearing horned helmets", etc. But aside from that this video is pretty spot-on.
@@neitherman9997 Astérix & Obélix is based on what modern French people thought of roman accounts about pre-romanization Gauls. Suffice to say, it is not very accurate in any meaningful way.
3:24 lol, read the message on the letter

There has to be a part 2, this was too good to go on a cliff hanger.

@@khalnetherfields7263 For the love of Toutatis, it's Panoramix!!!
This was such an interesting set up. What a great way to show us the life of someone who lived in the past; by giving a story of a first hand account perspective.
Thank you for this interesting story. It would be interesting to learn more about the scientific and metaphysical beliefs of the Druids, in addition to their communal practices.
I first learned about druids from Asterix. Getafix was a badass, but I didn't realize druids' responsibilities were so comprehensive! Thanks!
did Gaul leaders really stand on shields with one clansmen holding it to show their rule? I thought it was just some goofy fun in Asterix
Depends on how heavy the leader is, and how large the shield. Warriors back then were frighteningly strong.
There are no evidence of this among gaul people. Although, Franks did and in the XIXth century, when school became mandatory in France, something we call the Roman national (National novel) was created. It presented the Gauls and the Franks as the ancestors of French people (which is far from really true), and so there have been confustions between the two people over the time.
@Afrodisiac I agree with you but note that I am not talking about genetics but historiography and education.
@@guillaume5612 What? That is the history of France and the French people, they're the descendants of Roman-occupied Gaul and the Frankish and other Germanic tribes which tried to continue on the legacy of Christian Rome, or at least aped it. They still even ape it to this day with things like the foreign Legion.
Actually, Celts weren't doing that, it was the Franks who were doing that...

I am very interested in any information on Celtic life and especially the druids. Thank you for this video!
Check out the traditions codified by Per Henrik Ling, as well as a modern book called "Prescription for Herbal Healing." I believe the 7th or 8th edition is currently in print.
It's all useful knowledge, and much, if not most of it goes back to the Druidic traditions and teachings.
this is false information. not worth hearing.
I studied Latin for 7 years and omg I cried so much when I saw the parchment, wonder how many people thought if it was the real deal ToT
"The Roman senators at home were very off at the last cocktail party"

@@rollingthunder1043 but he's dead
What is dead may never die
Amazing. Beautiful. Still have that whole issue of sacrificing human beings during festivals though. And displaying heads as a Celtic custom. Fascinating culture, but there is always more to it than one view or one day can show. (True on the other end too)
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.
"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.
@@EidolonSpecus Got sources for that? I believe you, but I need some backing proof if I want to convince others.
What's wrong with displaying the heads of your enemies?
Ahhhhh yaes i love celtic culture ....been waiting for this
A beautiful done video! Druids skills and abilities suited a time of both peace and struggle.
I truly enjoy these for their detail and the fact that it gives background knowlage about tons of places while still making it interesting.
The animation is so good in this one! Love the art style! ❤️
Ted-ED is the only reason why TH-cam is still great.
I would really love to hear more about the history of the British Isles, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. I feel like they arnt talked about a lot and its a part of my history that I would really love to learn more about.
Fire of Learning did an incredible job in his History of Scotland video.
I greatly appreciate this content, Ted-ed. It is for me as if this allowed me to live a day, or a couple minutes, a life different from the life I have now.
It's a very pleasant experience for sure.
If possible part two maybe ?, I loved this💙
This just so happens to be an area I enjoy studying it’s nice seeing ted do more episodes on the ancient celts
I'm like earlier than the Mesopotamian Civilization
Invictus 😂
da faek invictus!
In case you were wondering: all the Veneti were then genocided by Caesar (all the warriors and nobles were killed, and the rest was enslaved)
Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium...
@@SMiki55 That's kind of the joke. Astérix was meant to be a light-hearted humorous anachronism, in constrast with actual History.
@@EidolonSpecus you don't say
This is some quality animation, good job, Ted-Ed!
1:54 That is a delightfully optimistic image of "men salting pigs".
Hi guys, good job on the video as always!
Thank you for this! It's hard to find videos about our ancient history that I can show my kiddos.
I love how it's"a day in the life" and it's the most unique situations
3:56 So Camma was already some 1500 years ahead of her time and believed in heliocentrism
Wow, the story is so captivating...it caught my attention so sightly that I forgot I was cleaning the room.
Actual information about Druids! Yes!
I know!!! This was a real treat!
@Fae Trick I do agree: But that is why they used music to teach and learn. If you don't think that music makes a difference in memory, and the ability to remember, well look at School House Rock. Ask any child to sing the latest jingle for fast food, or cars, or anything. A wise man once wrote that he would rather write a nation's songs than It's laws because songs are always remembered. That being said, I wish they had written things down.
this is false information. not worth hearing.
@@trple2 how do you know?
@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.
I love that all the Asterix are showing up in the comments lol
