We do have writings from the Celts in both Greek and Phoenician script problem is the druids specifically forbid any of their secrets to be written down they were after all a very secretive order the writings we do have from the Celts are largely financial in nature for example a transfer of land from one person to another was found either in Spain or in Marseille.
Right. Rome never fell. Druids were killed by Christians when they didn’t convert. Because they worship the true creator. Where can I find info on the Druid religion “the way”?
Druids were nobles, but not knights. We have three main sources on them: Greco-Roman, Irish, Welsh. The descriptions are incomplete and the testimonies cannot be taken at their face value.
Would be misguided to believe the Druids just "ended". We are still around, just got absorbed into the regular population. Lot of us still end up in fields related to our Druid roots such as natural healing, herbalism, protecting nature and the environment, spirituality, astrology, forestry and so forth. Not too long ago the government in Austria even consulted Druids for road safety project.
Druid’s never came to an end, they just moved into secret like into secret societies and they were pagans and they merged “married into” the Roman Catholic Church during the pregames church age in 312 AD.
Ive always wondered why the Roman's, (vespasian) under Nero felt they had to totally obliterate the druids, what did they know, why were they such a threat, they destroyed the temple at Jerusalem after they had finished off the druids, were they connected.
That's interesting. Do you have any sources about it? I do think there's something behind the Jewish diaspora on the Roman empire that we don't fully understand. And I've seen a video a few years ago that raised the possibility of the celts and the ancient Israelites (the ones that turned to paganism) being connected.

Wait. How do you describe the common misconceptions of druids without once referring to Asterix?!? That is the ONLY conception of druids for most of the English-speaking world.
Roman writers also stated that the Druids offered human sacrifices for those who were gravely sick or in danger of death in battle. Huge wickerwork images were filled with living men and then burned; although the Druids preferred to sacrifice criminals, they would choose innocent victims if necessary..... Britannica they did it to all sorts mostly criminals as you can see but also sick and wounded and yes se innocent but the innocent still suffer today.
I just watched a video by a lass who claims to be a historian who says the Celts and Druids were 2 different peoples. The Druids were there first. Later the Celts came. So who the heck knows what's the truth !
Hang on a second. The Romans left Britain in 400-410 AD and on the timeline 7:25 you are saying that druids only show up around 400 AD? This does not seem right, as this would suggest that they are a Roman invention, which is clearly not the case. Please clarify
