Celtic origins: Who were the Druids?

- Celtic Genetics and Paganism explained...
Celts are known for tartan, faeries, druids, bagpipes and the British Isles - but the origins of the Celtic culture lie in the Unetice culture of Bronze age central Europe and it spread out with the Hallstatt and La Tène cultures. In this history documentary, I look at the genetic evidence for the spread of Celts into Britain and Ireland in the Iron Age, as well as the Galatian Celts into Anatolia. Then I examine some Celtic archaeological artefacts such as the Gundestrup cauldron and the Marlborough bucket and I introduce the viewer to some of the basic aspects of Druidry and the Indo-European religion of the ancient Celts.

At least from that intro we learned why the Romans never invaded Ireland.

@@VikingMuayThai He's parodying an Irish Traveller, they make fight call-out videos all the time.
"My cousin Finn has brought a carnyx and that'll be the last noise you hear"
*That got me so good*
"Fiddlin' wit de kids, we know what you Romans git up too!"
Funniest part for me
Finn is a wonderful Norse name. But it also means History and Battles and fights with the Vikings and Finns, in Finland and Karelian Russia they still talk of the Battles with the Gaels of Ireland.
@@robertevans8010 It also means white.
@@SH-fz9dy Yes, in Finland and Karelia now in Russia the Lapps call White Finn, there is a definite relationship between the two and Finn is also quite a lot used as a name in those regions. Vikings were much travelled and a Fascinating Warrior people, too many misread their past, go to Russia , you will find they journeyed all the major Rivers and sailed from the Black Sea to Constantinople in Turkey. Being a Cymro we also have a History with them , some good and some bad, but the Icelanders were very different, they travelled to Ireland and Britain Trading for Centuries.
Keep Well in these Dark days of the Virus, pleasure to see someone who understands what names actually mean.
@David Hopkins I know them both. Lapps is an Ancient Name, it is nothing like the N Word, in Finland it is Common as the name Finn, the Sami people are not all Lapps not all Lapps are Sami, many Vikings were Lapps, I am educated and probably a lot more than you think, I am now 103 Years of age, I actually met JRR Tolkien and I befriended him, we had many Conversations about the Finns and Nordic Peoples, he was of course, of that Blood, but l knew him through the Oxford Book Society, it was interesting for me as a Linguist to have listened to him speaking Cymric, if you are a Cymric speaker you will understand, you have a very fine Cymric name, I hate being called Welsh which is a Germanic word, meaning Foreigner , Literally Foreigner in our own Land, Britain, now that is like the N word. Remember the Cymric word for what is now England is Lloegr, which in words means Lost Lands, Celts in Cymru do have links with the Icelandic Norse from before the 9th Century, when Trading was common, their Saga's tell of Daughters of Cymric Kings being wedded to Rulers of that People. Vikings yes, but they were not the same as the Viking raiders around the coast of Britain and Ireland.
in Russia the Sami are settled in Karelia and they do Travel East into Siberia and West to Norway and Finland, Lapps are peoples of the same areas, but are no longer Nomadic many have settled. Tolkien was interested in the Norse influences on the Gaelic Irish and Scottish Languages, which is obviously quite extensive, it was no influence on the Celtic Brythonic Language.
Therefore, I would ask you please do not insult myself, if you would have seen what I have done in my Lifetime , also what I have witnessed, you will not call me un Educated , I never Insult anyone, I talk to people, my wife was Danish, I met her after the War when I had joined the International Red Cross. I had been a Major in the Commando's with the SOE. During the War, I spent Two and a half years in the Balkans, I speak Russian and German and Five other languages, not including my Native Tongue.
Please listen to people, do not make assumptions that they are Idiots, I killed many men in WW2, many of them close up and personal, that I was not proud of, but they were mostly Wehrmacht or SS, we were at war. I became a Pacifist in 1947, I still have all my grey matter, I am one of the few SOE agents alive in Britain, not many left, I will soon be going, I lost many friends to Idiots who were Educated, in Death Camps.

It makes me very happy that native Celtic languages, cultures, and even religions are having a revival in the modern day. People are even attempting to revive the Cumbric language of the Hen Ogledd. It's good to see people exploring their cultural roots.

Who are the travelers?
@@geoffreyharris5931 their gypsies, non-romani though
Irish travelers / pavee which means the walking people they have nothing to do with gypsy people use these terms to link the two because they are both nomadic people but the Irish traveler is indigenous and 100% Irish and considered the last of the Irish clans, and gypsies originated from Eastern Europe and originally from India.

Extremely underrated channel
Especially if you consider that this channel even now only has about a fifth of what the channel of a complete idiot like Varg Vikernes had.(Until they deleted it😂😂😂) Its pretty sad, but people are sheep and prefer to hear what they want to believe. I guess Survive the Jive is too scientific for many..
@@exocet8834 I often hear Varg mentioned here. Not really familiar with him. What's the disagreement about?
@@wodenravens Lol, it probably takes a book to explain all this. But in short, he used completely unscientific and ridiculous claims in order to spread his lunatic ideology, which often led to STJ responding to it.

Really great video. The most informative about the origins of the Celts. I hate it when people try to claim that Celtic was "just a culture".

@star wars fan number 1902 Because the BBC said so, also they said Romans were black and they've never lied.
@@MK_ULTRA420 Great name of the CIA experiment.
That was funny, however you also missed the part where the BBC said the original Brit was black.. 😀
@@snakeman9902 that was channel 4.
No, the timestamp clearly shows 43 AD. And he does address Claudius by name. He's taunting Claudius for a thrashing, believing that defending his title will be fine. It's a great pep-talk vid for the troops, but he might have been overconfident for this match and should have done more training rather than fan service.
As an Irishman, I pissed myself at the intro 😂😂 great accent
The name Druid could potentially come from the coin word DREU VID from central slavic or proto slovenian language from the times when Celts and Veneto-Slovenes were neighbours. Dreu = tree, vid = see, which would then mean TREE SEER someone who predicts future by gazing to the trees. It is also pronounceed in the same way. Druid = Dreuvid.
Drvo=Vid. Make sense, I am slavic, so 😊
I've been in some kind of love with the Gundestrup Cauldron since first seeing it, and as my family on both sides hail from northern Germany and Denmark (Jensen and Peterson surnames), I'm so happy to learn even a little bit more about it. Absolutely awesome!
Look at the Pashupati seal from the Indus valley. It looks almost identical to the Gundestrup cauldron too
Lmao at the traveller callout parody.
It’s actually a hell of a lot less brutal than the real ones
as an American who has a lot of traveler genes i actually approve. pretty fucking funny and true i tell yas! my grandma was like this. smart as a whip but very animated in her speech... sadly people took her less seriously because of this... as for brutality ill be the first to admit, we have pretty bad tempers.
Caesar described Brythonic warriors issuing challenges of single combat to his legionnaires and centurions. I now think it would have looked exactly like the intro to this video. Also, 5:30 TOOOOOOOOT
Having dated far too many Irish women, your intro sounds exactly like many of the potential father-in-laws I've disappointed.
👍😂
@Just A Gamer like what part
🙄
@Nobody Nothing at this day and age reading about a people's history and culture can only tell you so much. You go to Dublin and you're in any other European capital just with an Irish twist. Go to Connaght and Munster and you'll encounter people who value their roots deeper than the superficial leprechauns plastered on shop windows for tourism.

@@andyh6849 the Romans controlled all of Wales for just over 300 years. Conquest began in 48AD and was completed by 75AD. Rome then controlled the area until 383AD when troops were pulled out to defend the mainland of the empire. They were never destroyed though. The Romans mixed with the Welsh, especially those of the Welsh aristocracy. Latin became the language of nobility until the army was pulled out when Brytonnic (ancestor language of Welsh) became the dominant language of the upper classes again.
yea that sounded british llf... Ireland is Celtic and you Saxons stole the Welsh land and named it England... so it was the welsh and Scottish pics that fought the Romans, not you German Anglo Saxons

Best intro to date, I don't mind telling you's
Thank you for producing these videos that never fail to be interesting, informative and often amusing. A real gem that shines out against the mostly incongruous backdrop of TH-cam.
Sometimes, when I'm sad or I'm having a tough day, I come back to this video to watch the first minute
I remember being taught in school that no one really knew why the Romans never bothered to so much as send a legion to Hibernia as far as anyone could tell - after seeing this intro, I think it's no mystery at all. Who would have dared?
It is taught that they didn’t bother because it was to cold which is bullshit
They had already met the Gaels in Scotland and traded with Gaelic warriors in Britain and Scotland
They were terrified of them
Their was even Gaelic warriors used as bodyguards by the Egyptians .
If they couldn’t take Scotland no way were they gonna try IRELAND
THE LAND OF MAGIC
The Romans had been to Hibernia before, and every once in a while used it to base reserve troops, as they'd helped an Irish king retake his throne.
Most writings describe the land as "not useful" and otherwise "deficient," much like Scotland was described. Essentially, Rome never conquered these places because they had no use to the Empire, and were more trouble than they were materially worth.
F U B A R methink none of the countries you’re talking about existed at the time. The English wouldn’t arrive on the Isles until like the 4th century bc
@star wars fan number 1902
That's a completely different event.
The Romans assisted the Irish king, Tuathal, reclaim his kingdom in Hibernia.
@star wars fan number 1902
The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronizes Túathal's exile with the reign of the Roman Emperor Domitian (81-96), his return early in the reign of Hadrian (122-138), and his death in the reign of Antoninus Pius (138-161).
Roman and Romano-British artefacts have been found primarily in Leinster, notably a fortified site on the promontory of Drumanagh, fifteen miles north of Dublin, and burials on the nearby island of Lambay, both close to where Túathal is supposed to have landed, and other sites associated with Túathal such as Tara and Clogher.
Pissed myself laughing at the beginning.
I loved that Tolkien quote. It is a huge frustration that most pagan information on the internet about the celts or druids is full of fuzzy new age sentiment and usually reeks as strongly of hemp smoke as Stonehenge on a solstice day. We need facts not fantasy if we are to be taken seriously -even by ourselves. Thank you for putting these facts out there.

@@solatiumz llf, Ulster made Scotland by slapping the Pics, go learn your history
I met a Norwegian guy and a Belgian guy in Cambodia on a boat. All the same age, we were different in our modern cultures but the boat began to run aground due to lack of water in the river and too many people in the boat. The 3 of us, high on cambo weed and tipsy from yadong, pushed the boat 4 miles to deeper waters. We only met that day but were powerfully strong and familiar friends by the end of the trip.

British isles so small yet some of the most influential people ever I would argue
Straight White British Protestant there is no “Britannic race” though rather a mix of different people
@@vestty5802 Well since the Norse or aka Danes in the time period of their end of conquest 3/4th of the Island of Britain was taken over by them and their stock implanted in almost every one shortly there after. Heck. The Norse man Rollo given lord ship and Normandy became the backbone for ALL royal stock of modern Europe even to this very day the Queen of England included. Indo European ancestral roots spawned across the continent. We know a pre culture was wiped out before indo european's came and took what is today Europe, a interesting culture, ran by what we would call wise women all their culture centered around a Great Goddess being, these people of course were also at one time the invaders but such can be said about almost every nation in all history. But that said the tradition of that culture remained, the witches of old Europe ring a bell? That is who the Celts and Indo Europeans slaughtered. the Bok Saga actually gives mention to it, Swedish Sage
I really enjoyed this video, often I feel Celts are left out of the conversation since there’s so many modern religions and people skewing the facts, glad someone set the record straight.
That intro is the quality content I come for lmao
I just finished a lecture series, the Celtic World, from the Great Courses. The lecturer argued that there were no Celtic people as such, that the art and culture simply spread across Europe. I was very disappointed to learn that there was no Celtic invasions. Even our ancient history is being warped. But now Sir Vive has cleared this up.
Ah, that’s what we call ‘Celtoscepticism’, a rather nasty infection in Celtic Studies atm.
It’s dying out.
We have the same thing going on on Russian culture...that..Russians didn't existed before.....we call it russophobia......
there was no distant celtic tribe, as compared to a norse tribe. Celtic was a linguistic group made of different tribes, fair skinned and very dark skinned. A little as now you could say english is no longer a tribe but anyone who speaks english is 'english'....so ....english people are danes (angles geats danes northmen etc etc little frisian too) whereas someone from mars would classify a billion english speakers as english. This is why in ireland you had very dark and very pale people but all speaking and living the celtic culture.

My thoughts also
Tom, for me this your best video yet. What can I say but thank you so much, I so appreciate all th work that you do. Blessings.
We are from north east Italy, which was once Austria, but identify ourselves as Canadian/American (USA). Any time I went back to visit it was mostly Germans and Austrians there, which is why to this day for some reason, I like them so much. Many Celtic/druidry remains are still there. The Gauls left there mark there. Some of our family live around the po valley, still, and also in friuli/Venezia Giulia. Their language (friulan) is not shared with the rest of Italy. It is entirely different and very difficult to understand.
This intro was one of the greatest and most unexpected moments in the history of the internet
There were celts in Galicia, Spain; aswell.
And It took the Romans 200 years after the fall of Carthage and Hannibal to conquer and subdue the region. It wasn't easy for them. Yet we hardly hear about it.
I always wondered that myself as my Spanish grand parents were native to Galicia before they moved to Zaragoza.
Most of central and northern Spain was also fully Celtic at one point, and at least the northern half of Portugal was fully Celtic speaking until the early middle ages.
Northern Italy was Celtic, as well as Hungary, Transylvania, Serbia and central Anatolia. Celtic Galatian warriors were employed as mercenaries in Seleucid and Ptolemaic armies and some were resettled as landed retired soldiers in Egypt and probably as far east as Afghanistan.
Celts even settled in western Ukraine in a region which is also called Galicia. The Celts might have had settlements and certainly had trading posts along the Dniestr river and as far north as Lithuania for the lucrative amber trade. They also had trading posts on the Dniepr and Don and acted as trade mediums between the Scythians and the Hellenic and Roman world.
@Griffith Taka The Scythians were East Iranic peoples (who lived as far west as present-day Hungary). The Celts belong to a different branch of Indo-European, which also includes Italic and perhaps also the poorly attested Lusitanian, Venetic and Paleo-Balkanic languages.
@Griffith Taka the red hair in Ireland has nothing to do with Ireland being Celtic. The gene for red hair in Ireland predates the arrival of Celts from the continent.
Caratacus = Celtic hero.
His story is inspirational, but i don't feel enough people know of him. Any chance of covering his part in British history STJ?

John Linn yep, you made one President lol
The Mabinogi texts on Branwen ferch Llŷr has an example of the cauldron of life you mentioned whilst discussing Gundestrup Cauldron.
Also, Ynys Môn could well have been the centre of Celtic Druidry, many place-names are associated with Druids along with Tacitus Annals providing some good source material.
Great video by the way really enjoyed it
Hilarious intro made me spray my coffee. You actually did a decent impression of an Irish traveller accent - better than Brad Pitt in 'Snatch' anyway. Another fascinating and very professionally presented video, as I've come to expect from your channel. I am truly enjoying working my way through all of your excellent videos - many thanks, and keep them coming!
Absolutely love this channel! Great work✊🏻👍🏻 love it if you did some work on malta and its ancient temples!
This video found me hanging on every word. This is the best video I’ve seen on the subject.
Great work yet again and probably one of my favorites!
I especially liked the clear review of pre-Celtic cultures. And the intro was funny. This film is rich in information, interesting and valuable.
Class!! From an Irish Celt.
I learned that the Black Cauldron is based on Celtic mythology shown in this real Cauldron relic. Lloyd Alexander books always interested me with the rich ancient culture, rooted in magic and old kings of legend.
So strong are the memories of the past, they mesmerize me. Beautiful editing and video. Thank you for this.
Boy, this was fantastic! Well done! Looking forward to watching many more of your videos.
Jive, hearing about my ancient heritage in the various videos you produce actually provides spiritual food. I know it sounds nonsensical to some, but there is a profound feeling you can tap into when you know where your blood has come from. Thanks for your succint, yet delightful work. Oh, and the intro is by far over 9,000. Epic, sir.👌
Another excellent video. I especially like that you present very up to date academic findings, especially to do with DNA. DNA analysis is revolutionising our understanding of the ancient world and is able to help resolve many competing hypotheses such as the origin location of the Celts.
Very true that's how you find out about your ancestry
You dispense so much amazing knowledge I have to watch your videos a minimum of three times to absorb all of the different cultures you speak of. You are a blessing to our people
excellent work. Such great detail I've never been aware of. Thanks for making this.
Again - cheers from Vinland across the pond m8. As an Irish descendant myself (and one who does deal with some thick accents at times) - that intro was top shelf, as other's have said already... heh. Keep it up, Thom buddy
2:50 Celtic culture, language, art and way of life was not adopted by diverse "races", but diverse ethnic groups, all of the same race (European). Galatia was a Celtic colony founded by Gaulish Celts who migrated there.
Tom, I must say your videos are so in depth that watching them several times are a must. Thank you sir.
That introduction is wonderful, Ty.
There is a big celtic scene in Austria, which is why I'm interested in learning more about it. Especially because my house is built on a roman mansion in an old celtic region.
Wow that is so cool! You’re living in the dream home

The English are Hardly our brothers
This channel is incredible
Thank you for such an informative video. Looking forward to more.
Most informative video on genetic history of Europe. This is brilliant. Thank you.
"I'll call me cuzzin and he'll blow te carnyx. Til be te last sound ye ever hear, dont mind tellin ya".
Watching this again to just pass the time. You should do something similar for the germanic tribes since they make up just as large part of history of the british isles as the celtic peoples do. All of your stuff is good Tom, I'm sure such a video would be no different.
harharhar got me roaring with laughter. where'd we come from, where we going. at first the historical truths seemed boring compared to the intro, and i thought perhaps there's more truth in the fantasy than the reality, but as the show went on a great story appeared, scholarly, and in chronological order and i really enjoyed the pictures of the artifacts. well done. is it fish and chips or spaghetti and pizza, that's the true question. thank yew have fun.
As always Tom, excellent, excellent work.
Outstanding program very well done and received. Thank you
