“One such druid going by the strange name of Panoramix, I believe, is said to have concocted a potion that imbues those who drink it with enormous strength for a time. Legions from the forts of Petibonum, Laudanum, Aquarium and Babaorum claim this to be true. I believe this to be a mere excuse by the forts’ officers, as they have yet to overcome the rebellious village where this Panoramix is said to reside. I am tempted to pay this druid a visit very soon...”
Rad Derry - Ah, yes. I hear that the fame of this druid has extended to distant lands well beyond the borders of civilization, where indigenous inhabitants have given him names in their own barbarous tongues.

@@CelticAngloPress2nd not all, but yeah there was a lot of rhetoric at the Roman empire at this time about mimicing other artists, writers, etc. Roman sources should not be taken as 100% fact, but can be used a point of discussion and cultural memory in themselves. The date of separation between events and writers ought to be considered. We already know that the Frankish Celts we're naming cities after the story of Troy. The problem? Later in 700 ad Gregory of tours will make the claim that franks saw themselves as partly descendant from Trojans that came up through the Rhine. Well and good, many scholars dismiss it, but then again Etruscans in Western itality near the mouth of the Rhine also claim a Trojan ancestry with actual dna linked to Western turkey. Then add the Etruscan characters that start looking a lot like runes found in North Europe. We may never have a 100% clear history until we cross the claims and evidence between different scholarly expertise.

@@MrNecryptic Well - taking the Roman and Celtic customs: not convinced. And believe me, I'm also informed what they've invented in other parts of the world. We Europeans just want to give a nice clean picture of ourselves. Like do many other nations. Usually it's the small tribes who are the most humane. They have had no time to develope a separate warrior/soldier class, but hunters are their warriors and police as well. Except if their religion doesn't involve some torture, mutilation of bodies or cannibalism. We were all good in inventing ways to cause pain the other guy. The civilization is a thin layer in us. And when that's scrubbed a bit too hard - well, the beast in us counters violently, so easily. It's always 'the others' who are bad - 'we're doing it right'. The reason is usually because we are we, not because our values would be perfect: We are always good in justifying the wrong we do, and roll the responsibility to the others. Blaming game. 'They trampled a flower in our garden, so we shot their cat. Teaches them a lesson.' Like the Greek called the others barbars. Yet they used pitch based fire to burn ships, houses & people. The Greeks were civilized - because they said so :)
yup compared to roman social structure people in gaul were like slaves, people in medieval were like slaves, and guess what? They still had more personal freedom than modern people.
@@lowqualityshitposts8860 there was no caste system in any countries in medieval europe The nobles werent a caste as it was possible, tho rare to be accepted into nobility from a different birth; as for burghers and peasantry, this was more decided by a place of residance than birth, so it doesnt qualify as caste
George Dumezil's trifunctional hypothesis would be worth looking at. The druids were essentially the same as the Vedic brahmins, into the middle ages they would have filled the upper caste, namely the priestly caste.

@@VoicesofthePast well, consider me a subscriber. I think reading these ancient documents and thoughts is incredibly important. We need a better grasp on our shared humanity these days.
With Caesar's description of the Wicker man, it could either be him genuinely smearing his enemies in Gaul, or (the all more likely to me) trying understand the Gaulic society so he and future Roman rulers could govern more easily and his imagination running away with him. Given the Roman's track record with cultural as well as military conquest, it seems in character for Caesar to first understand the Gaul's, making assimilation all the more easy.
just go look at Roman statues of Celts, or read or listen to more accounts between Rome & Celts or the Germanic Tribes , it was always partly propaganda. the Celts and Germans sieged Rome for a reason
Or the Gauls actually did it, not by any means out of the realm of possibility. He would have no reason to smear the Gauls as Romans already hated them, and he speaks much praise of both them and the Germans where it is due.
Here in Melbourne in the 90s and I think early 2000s there was an old building right in the city centre (near the state library) that had JOIN THE DRUIDS in huge letters still painted on the building. My uncle had the theory that it was probably painted around the turn of the century.
Good point sick revolt ... A Brahma is as mentioned is apart of Hinduism that has I believe 4 or 5 layers to the system .. much like Plato’s republic wanted salve , craftsmen , soldier , and politicians basically as Greeks cast systems set up in non religious based control system though .. Brahma would be the top which would be not only if the wise spiritual leaders but also the rich whom was largely highly educated compared to rest in cast.. They still been running on the cast system even up to today for most part ..it has its bad and good parts as all systems of forced control and inequality being law enforced The top as spiritual leaders and education valued as needed to be at top is great imo for leading the country more so then wealth alone selecting who will be on top as in western beliefs system .. On down side is the bottom is called untouchables which is a position given in birth that can’t move out of ..your position as such Is designated for worst lifestyles and responsibilities forced on to them .. street cleaners which third world cities where piss and shit in streets isn’t lovely .. they are also ones forced to burn bodies and so on as how given name untouchables because those via their religious construction via text Is told must fast and wash as have no one touch you when handling dead bodies or sewer gunk .. They go further when looking at now outside religious beliefs and investigation held on the human beings them self all around in such a large vast area and culture along with far reaching society with many cities and small farming villages .. those villagers at times were found to not be allowed to even use streets so no one had to see them or walk by them .. to not be allowed to even leave house with devices meant to catch spit and prevents them able to see and do anything when out doors then as wearing such bags and devices over head .. which if don’t follow rules they are abused further as adorned as religious rebellious scoundrels committing worth sins ever There is many documentaries on it .. a interesting piece of history never done in a way this TH-cam channel does here perfectly amazingly now I think about it .. maybe we can get him to do one on the applying and development of India’s cast system and any revolts or war effects on it
@@urmonn8162 ok, this illuminati & language business sounds a bit out there, but I'll bite. What book/link/info do you have to support/explain this? Thx in advance
They're somewhat related - Hindi speakers, and many related languages brought the Hinduism to existance, and were clearly influenced by the Dravidian thinking. So the Hindus also have a polytheistic pantheon, being that their view of what happens after death is different. Also, the Druidic, Celtic religion wasn't that far from the Viking or Greek religions, or Slavic - all related to the Hindi speakers in India, and their religion. Slavic even showing clear connections to the Indo-European languages of India. And we shouldn't forget the Romans had a very similar religion than the Greeks - they interpreted the Greek gods the same as theirs, just changed the names fitting to their own nomenclature. I get very similar vibes reading the Greek divinity stories and Edda of the Scandinavians. Differences are there, of course - but they both have this interesting pantheon that's fighting against giants - called Titans or Jotuns. When they are not squabbling like in a soap opera, or taking human form, and drop on the Eartn to have children with the mortals, and other meddling - like mixing people in their own fights, making them tools. And they have a home somewhere high on the mountains. Though I remember that Vikings explained there's a rainbow road that a visitor must take from certain mountains to the divine world. A least a bit more otherworldly place than at the Greeks: their gods had a mountain where they were thought to live. How about the Hindu pantheon: guess they have a place somewhere yonder? Don't know where that giant theme rose: maybe it was the way the cultures demonized the gods of the people whose lands they conquered. Justified their conquest, and ethnic cleansing. And India doesn't sound exceptional in this. So what else is new. Do Hindu gods fight wars against giants? Don't know if the Celts had that. They had stories of Dwarves at least, as did the Vikings too. At least I've read of a Welsh hero who went to kill a mountain giant. These type of stories the Vikings told about killing trolls. Who were giantlike creatures, like monsters, who also could do magic.
Did you have my comment removed? It was as religious as speaking about Brahmans and Druids - involving mainly thinking of how the ideologies are somewhat related through the Indo-European background. Being that the Dravidic and Indo-European background have both affected the Hindu religion. Is there something disrespecting there?
What a nice new channel. I was just thinking about how I can increase the quality of my youtube data stream. Getting to grips with the primary sources seems to be a good way. Excellent choice of sources and excellent voice acting. 10/10 will devour all posted videos.
WTH I was going to comment asking for this exact passage and I deleted it not wanting to seem pushy. Then you go and upload the exact passage anyway literally a few days later. Are you a druid?
It's interesting the certain language Caesar uses. For example Military service and taxes. It makes me wonder just how advanced Gaul society was and how much Caesar was using those terms to help his reads understand. For example by saying 'Exempt from military service' he could simply have ment they do not go to war however the term used suggest the Gauls have a full complicated Military system.
Caesar wrote that the druids have a 20 years school of training. That souls do not die but pass from death one to another. As that the fear of death is cast aside. They hold to be the greatest incentive to valor. Beside learning to touch the stars and their movements of natures strength and powers of immortal Gods. And hand down their ways to the young.
So Gaulish culture was passed on more or less the same to feudal medieval society after the fall of the Roman Empire: nobles and priests, and then the serfs. It's a universal societal structure, in a way.
Medieval Fuedal society was based mostly on Germanic Culture (even in Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, where Vikings and Normans invaded and were assimilated by the local populace), so it could be that the Germanics were similar in social structure to the Celts. That wouldn't be too surprising, as both groups were descended from Proto-Indo-Europeans and often bordered each other.
Halloween originates from the Druid festival Samhain in honour of the dead. Bopping for Apples was a game they played to choose their sacrifices. Apples were placed in a cauldron of boiling water and captives hand a chance to retrieve an apple to spare their life, while their hands were tied as they knelt around the cauldron. Druids maintained a fearsome reputation in order to remain powerful
Utter bullshit. Utter, utter bullshit. There is no written OR archaeological record for this ANYWHERE. This isn't even Wicker-man levels of ignorance, because at least Caesar wrote about that even if never happened. This is Jack T. Chick levels of ass-pulled nonsense. This post is bad and you should feel bad about it.
This was actually an extract from the diary of "Biggus Dickus" . As far as the Druids go . No one knows who they were .....or what they were doing , ( Spinal Tap ) .
The religious practices of Druids Further evidence has been found of 'triple deaths' where a victim was simultaneously stoned, drowned, and impaled on a spear. Celtic religion did involve elements of ritual sacrifice, but Druids (and Celts in general) did not conceive of death the way in which we do today
I would believe it if they were burning themselves. But for some reason, all those human-sacrificers always sacrificed some other people. And by the way, I don't know how do you conceive death, but most of the religious people on the planet today believe in immortal soul, I would assume.
There is no evidence of this. The Romans needed to discredit the Druids to destroy the will of the Celts to resist Roman occupation. That's why the had them all killed in the end. They had too much influence as they were philosophers, doctors, judges and bards. All Roman stories can be likened to Nazi proaganda about Jews.
Copy paste - comment - suggestion for video - There is many documentaries on the Indian cast system as just describing the nature and basic of though .. a interesting piece of history never done in a way this TH-cam channel does here perfectly amazingly now I think about it .. maybe we can get him to do one on the applying and development of India’s cast system and any revolts or war effects on it
This is taken from his Gallic Campaign Reports. Typically found under the title "The Conquering of Gaul". It's a riveting account. One of the best (if not *the* best) historical writings I've ever read.
Nerthus very little is known of them. It isn’t even entirely clear if the word was used by the natives to refer to the society or just a case of spiritual/political leaders though obviously the romans seemed to think the latter.
@Aureli Dalmatia. Extremely interesting. Albanian is related to Illyrian and Venetic. Before the Celts and the Germanic expanded in the Low Countries they probably spoke Venetic there. Ceasar fought the Veneti in Brittany, not far from the land of the Carnutes. This means that the druids can be pre-Celtic.That can also explain why Britain is seen as senior. Celts invaded Britain later then Gaul.
@Finn MickCool : I see you probably have an Irish/Celtic/British/French perspective. Do you have an opinion on the question if the druids in France and England were pre-Celtic yes or no ?
It's interesting how the Roman's looked down their noses at Human Sacrifices to the gods but they did just the same thing at end of every Triumph celebration. They would slaughter the prisoners of war at the temple of Jupiter at the end of the Parade. Shoutout to History Civilis as my source.
Yes, I love that channel as well, especially Historia Civilis's "The Roman Triumph". Everyone should check that one out. They publicly strangle all the captors at the end of the parade.
Caesar's knowledge of Druidry came from a single source as far as we know: Divitiacus of the Aedui. Most of Caesar's account was aimed at justifying his subjugation of Gaul. Romans were keen to accuse their opponents of human sacrifice - his successor Augustus was accused of sacrificing 300 senators at Perusia. However, if you discount the negative slant, this is the first useful historical account of the Druids.
There is a great deal of archaeological evidence of pre-Roman human sacrifice among the Celts, both large and small scale. Besides the many sacrificed "bog bodies", one that comes to mind is the massive pit found years ago full of hundreds of amputated human arms piled very specifically in a large pattern.
@@DieLuftwaffel how does one use that evidence to prove human sacrifice? Bog bodies are not specifically "Celtic" - I believe Lindow Man is the only British Iron-Age find (correct me if I'm wrong). The idea they were sacrificed is speculation. Your "massive pit found years ago" could equally have been the remains of battle.
Cesar had nothing against praising his enemies wen it was due. He described the Germanic people with admiration for their martial prowess. Not so, the Gauls. Both were his foes, and both served under his banner, But he held the Guals/Celts mostly in contempt. I don’t see how describing them as weak would help him politically back in Rome.
@@JoeSmith-sl9bq Alright. But even without mallace romans did not always write the truth. Tacitus wrote a lot about germanics, but never was in germania. Well, Cesar did. So he might be more credible.
@@Kestas_X Yes, I did for he wrote about himself as well most people do they overlook their flaws. I heard what he was saying how he admired the Druids of how they control the Gallic kings and people. I heard also to control Britain you can control the Druid and through them the Gallic people.
21st century problems: “it’s ma’am you called me sir” Paganism in Europe problems: “sorry SIR it’s your turn in the burning man.” Thank the creator for Yehoshua.
Of course one must always take an ousider's view of an unfamiliar culture as being innately, and unavoidably, biased by the outsider's own enculturated world-view. But indigenous folklore at least supports Caesar on there being a traditional Celtic belief in the immortality of the soul, and possibility of transmigration.
Sure Caesar was biased But he is less of a propagandists in these issues than most, having to govern the Gaul for a while He had much respect for the Gauls and Germans and these had prestigious roles in his conquests, I find it quite stunning how he kept these men on his side even during the times of Germanic invasion of Gaul or Galic uprisings He may very well be the best source to date about the ancient cultures in roman times
There is a great audiobook version of all of Ceasars books here on TH-cam. I've listened to them all so many times I almost have it memorized. The translation on this channel can very wildly from what is in the Audiobook format. I find the differences very interesting. Such as in the Audiobook they refer to crops as Wheat while on this channel it's translated as Corn.
@@Wallyworld30 - Corn is a generic term for grain in Europe. It's only in America that we use the word corn to mean maize, and other grains are just lumped together as grain, or referred to as a specific type of grain: rye, wheat, barley, flax (also used to make linen), etc. Remember, maize/corn was unknown in Europe and Britain during the life of Caesar. Not until European explorers discovered the Americas did they encounter maize/corn and potatoes. Sometimes the century in which a translator lived needs to be taken into consideration, although not all people today realize corn was once a generic term for grain of any kind. If one is talking about food crops, wheat may well have been what was raised in order to make flour for bread.
Julius Caesar wrote that there was a race of people south of the Sahara desert, which only had one leg, which they hopped around on, and they did not have heads, but had faces in the middle of their torsos. And he really, actually, literally believed it, just like everything else he wrote. So there is no reason to assume that anything he wrote is actually true.
Jean Olley *ahem* they are different maps, the land really had many different names, Celtic Gaul could just be a description used to differentiate it from Roman southern gaul, transalpine Gaul was just a province that yes did include all Gaul when Caesar conquered it, but was later split up... idk those are 3 reasons. Choose one you like and realize that history is a complicated subject.
@@andrewlange7820 thank you for your reply and the little smile that came to my lips with your "ahem". I suppose that I am a purist at heart and wished for a map that was reflective of the period under scrutiny. History is indeed complicated and the Romans are more than a little to blame for the confusion. They stole a lot of stuff from the Etruscans but never gave them credit. They also dismissed the cultures of many nations whose lands they invaded. I find it interesting that they found it necessary to eradicate the Druids as far as they were able whilst adopting other elements of other religions in their vassal states.
The parallels are nearly identical in all systems of government and religious orders. Maybe the exception would be something like Pharaohs of Egypt who would have more authority than the religious order.
@@KendrickMan There's a great line in HBO Rome where Cato describes Caesar as being 'That criminal, that ravening wolf, that has gorged itself on the blood of Gaul.' About right.
I think it was intentional. Caesar was part of the Populares faction, which believed the aristocratic class of the Roman Republic had too much wealth, too much political power, and was corrupting the Republic. I'm sure he was hoping that any Roman who read that section would think of the Optimates.
Every 1st of august in my village in England we burn a giant wicker man full of refugees to thank the gods for a good harvest yes some think it’s backwards but we can’t house them all so in a way it’s a form of kindness
Finn MickCool no no we keep plenty back there is always a steady supply, see the problem with keeping to many is in the winter if it’s lean we have to slaughter a few to feed the rest and with it being 2020 even the refugees are jumping on the “vegan” bandwagon and they won’t eat there friends it’s a whole new can of worms we have had to adapt too
Finn MickCool unfortunately we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country so there isn’t that many lay abouts regardless of the guardian saying we need workers to do the jobs “English” won’t do it’s never been a case in my area that the English won’t do any job which is why we didn’t all die out before mass migration I have noticed wages are a lot less now than before particularly in farming so unfortunately we don’t need to thank any 3rd world country migrants for “saving us” infact we would rather they all stayed in London or there own country’s
Finn MickCool oh dear what a silly Man U are tell me how would us not having a deal with the e.u and moving onto WTO cost us more than the membership costs of being in the e.u they don’t so moving onto WTO will be cheaper also for the last 1000 years Europe has been praying for our demise yet here we are forecasted to grow quicker than the e.u as well isn’t that something the only loser if the uk was to move onto WTO would be the Republic of Ireland not the UK and any trade deal made with the USA will improve our lot with them not make it worse otherwise why would we change our already trading nature with the USA ? The USA can’t force us into anything also take a look at British history we don’t run when the going gets tuff unlike the Irish the French the Spanish the many Arabs etc I think you know very little about the nature of the British or there resilience
BARBATVS 89 You are wrong. A “frog in the well” understanding of other civilizations and cultures. One illustrationn from among millions - Arjuna, the Kshathriya hero of the Mahabharatha and Sri Krishna’s cousin, friend and disciple, was re-born as the hunter Kannappa Naayanar to acquire that last bit of thapasya, before he could attain mukthi or what you would call “salvation.” So the stateof a hunter was a more evolved state than that of a prince for Arjuna.

Its strange that Caesar describes them as so alien, when the Senate itself likely developed from a priest class (possibly of something similar to druids).
Before one must die they have to learn to live , one must die symbolically and spiritually throughout life to attain ourselves on higher levels of existance for our souls growth that is why we are born to GROW SPIRITUALLY .
MR Mister I agree, Mr M. Dr Pidgeon was just in Wales a few months ago. While there he went to the tomb of Joseph of Arimithea (Yahshua’s grandfather’s grave), and the grave of (I think) Barnabas (Bar Nevi). I was looking at Irish whiskey barrels one day and I noticed something. If you take the word Yiddish, for the language the Jews speak, you find something rather odd if you make a few changes. Drop the Y to get Iddish. Make the d’s an R and don’t roll the R on your tongue as an Irishman would, and you get Irish. Roll the R and you get iddish, add the y back and you’re back at Yiddish. I’m not equating Irish to Yiddish, but I am drawing a similarity between the two names. The name Dan, being one of the 12 brothers of the 12 tribes of Israel, would have pronounced their name Dahn. The Gaul’s came from Dahn’s brother Gad (pronounces Gaud, like gaudy). The port Donegal was named for those two bloodlines; Dahn and Gaul. The rampant lions of England and Scotland (and Spain) are the Heralds of the royal line of Judah. One is Gold, for the Kingly line (Jesus’ line) while the other is for the bloodline of the first born. When Zerah was stuck his hand out of his mom, he was declared the first-born. A scarlet thread was tied around his wrist so he would be known by the midwives. The first child to be born was the child without the scarlet thread around his wrist. That’s why the Scot’s fly the banner of the red rampant lion. The brits, being of Pherez claim the royal lineage and therefore fly the banner of the golden rampant lion. Lastly, that I’ll share here, is this; if you look up the word dulcimer in the strong’s concordance, you’ll see that Bagpipes could have been a translation to use in dulcimer’s stead. Oh, Joseph’s coat of many colors was a tartan. So yeah, there’s a lot that points to the Druid’s and the Scot’s and the Yiddish (oops, I mean Irish) being Hebrew.

We already know that the Frankish Celts we're naming cities after the story of Troy. The problem? Later in 700 ad Gregory of tours will make the claim that franks saw themselves as partly descendant from Trojans that came up through the Rhine. Well and good, many scholars dismiss it, but then again Etruscans in Western itality near the mouth of the Rhine also claim a Trojan ancestry with actual dna linked to Western turkey. Then add the Etruscan characters that start looking a lot like runes found in North Europe.

And som say we shouldn't criticize other cultures. People should just be allowed to practice the trditions of their culture. It sounds kinda good in the first hearing, but... I don't miss flogging, impaling, decapitating, quartering etc. - these cultural practices of Europe of old.
@@MrNecryptic Well - taking the Roman and Celtic customs: not convinced. And believe me, I'm also informed what they've invented in other parts of the world. We Europeans just want to give a nice clean picture of ourselves. Like do many other nations.

The reason is usually because we are we, not because our values would be perfect: We are always good in justifying the wrong we do, and roll the responsibility to the others. Blaming game. 'They trampled a flower in our garden, so we shot their cat. Teaches them a lesson.'

Very interesting at the beginning to hear the similarities in the social structure to that which followed in the Medieval period.
Decus basic social structures always remain the same only the details are different :)
yup compared to roman social structure people in gaul were like slaves, people in medieval were like slaves, and guess what? They still had more personal freedom than modern people.
Caste systems are the default for almost every society
@@lowqualityshitposts8860 there was no caste system in any countries in medieval europe
The nobles werent a caste as it was possible, tho rare to be accepted into nobility from a different birth; as for burghers and peasantry, this was more decided by a place of residance than birth, so it doesnt qualify as caste
George Dumezil's trifunctional hypothesis would be worth looking at. The druids were essentially the same as the Vedic brahmins, into the middle ages they would have filled the upper caste, namely the priestly caste.

@@VoicesofthePast well, consider me a subscriber. I think reading these ancient documents and thoughts is incredibly important. We need a better grasp on our shared humanity these days.
@Ann Fitzgerald so true
With Caesar's description of the Wicker man, it could either be him genuinely smearing his enemies in Gaul, or (the all more likely to me) trying understand the Gaulic society so he and future Roman rulers could govern more easily and his imagination running away with him. Given the Roman's track record with cultural as well as military conquest, it seems in character for Caesar to first understand the Gaul's, making assimilation all the more easy.
just go look at Roman statues of Celts, or read or listen to more accounts between Rome & Celts or the Germanic Tribes , it was always partly propaganda. the Celts and Germans sieged Rome for a reason
Or the Gauls actually did it, not by any means out of the realm of possibility. He would have no reason to smear the Gauls as Romans already hated them, and he speaks much praise of both them and the Germans where it is due.
@@pvkjhilk8323 Are you suggesting Celts and Germans sieged Rome due to propaganda spread by the Romans? That's retarded

Good point sick revolt ...
A Brahma is as mentioned is apart of Hinduism that has I believe 4 or 5 layers to the system .. much like Plato’s republic wanted salve , craftsmen , soldier , and politicians basically as Greeks cast systems set up in non religious based control system though ..
Brahma would be the top which would be not only if the wise spiritual leaders but also the rich whom was largely highly educated compared to rest in cast..
They still been running on the cast system even up to today for most part ..it has its bad and good parts as all systems of forced control and inequality being law enforced
The top as spiritual leaders and education valued as needed to be at top is great imo for leading the country more so then wealth alone selecting who will be on top as in western beliefs system ..
On down side is the bottom is called untouchables which is a position given in birth that can’t move out of ..your position as such Is designated for worst lifestyles and responsibilities forced on to them .. street cleaners which third world cities where piss and shit in streets isn’t lovely .. they are also ones forced to burn bodies and so on as how given name untouchables because those via their religious construction via text Is told must fast and wash as have no one touch you when handling dead bodies or sewer gunk ..
They go further when looking at now outside religious beliefs and investigation held on the human beings them self all around in such a large vast area and culture along with far reaching society with many cities and small farming villages ..
those villagers at times were found to not be allowed to even use streets so no one had to see them or walk by them .. to not be allowed to even leave house with devices meant to catch spit and prevents them able to see and do anything when out doors then as wearing such bags and devices over head .. which if don’t follow rules they are abused further as adorned as religious rebellious scoundrels committing worth sins ever

@@urmonn8162 ok, this illuminati & language business sounds a bit out there, but I'll bite. What book/link/info do you have to support/explain this? Thx in advance
They're somewhat related - Hindi speakers, and many related languages brought the Hinduism to existance, and were clearly influenced by the Dravidian thinking. So the Hindus also have a polytheistic pantheon, being that their view of what happens after death is different.
Also, the Druidic, Celtic religion wasn't that far from the Viking or Greek religions, or Slavic - all related to the Hindi speakers in India, and their religion. Slavic even showing clear connections to the Indo-European languages of India. And we shouldn't forget the Romans had a very similar religion than the Greeks - they interpreted the Greek gods the same as theirs, just changed the names fitting to their own nomenclature.
I get very similar vibes reading the Greek divinity stories and Edda of the Scandinavians. Differences are there, of course - but they both have this interesting pantheon that's fighting against giants - called Titans or Jotuns. When they are not squabbling like in a soap opera, or taking human form, and drop on the Eartn to have children with the mortals, and other meddling - like mixing people in their own fights, making them tools. And they have a home somewhere high on the mountains. Though I remember that Vikings explained there's a rainbow road that a visitor must take from certain mountains to the divine world. A least a bit more otherworldly place than at the Greeks: their gods had a mountain where they were thought to live. How about the Hindu pantheon: guess they have a place somewhere yonder?
Don't know where that giant theme rose: maybe it was the way the cultures demonized the gods of the people whose lands they conquered. Justified their conquest, and ethnic cleansing. And India doesn't sound exceptional in this. So what else is new.
Do Hindu gods fight wars against giants? Don't know if the Celts had that. They had stories of Dwarves at least, as did the Vikings too. At least I've read of a Welsh hero who went to kill a mountain giant. These type of stories the Vikings told about killing trolls. Who were giantlike creatures, like monsters, who also could do magic.
Did you have my comment removed? It was as religious as speaking about Brahmans and Druids - involving mainly thinking of how the ideologies are somewhat related through the Indo-European background. Being that the Dravidic and Indo-European background have both affected the Hindu religion. Is there something disrespecting there?

It's interesting the certain language Caesar uses. For example Military service and taxes. It makes me wonder just how advanced Gaul society was and how much Caesar was using those terms to help his reads understand.
For example by saying 'Exempt from military service' he could simply have ment they do not go to war however the term used suggest the Gauls have a full complicated Military system.
Thanks channel. So god dam interesting clips :) learning alot.
I thank to the destiny to be able to read or hear Caesar words 2000 thousands years after his death.
Sounds like Caesar was interested in all kinds of topics. Smart man.
Caesar wrote that the druids have a 20 years school of training. That souls do not die but pass from death one to another. As that the fear of death is cast aside. They hold to be the greatest incentive to valor. Beside learning to touch the stars and their movements of natures strength and powers of immortal Gods. And hand down their ways to the young.
This was very well done

So Gaulish culture was passed on more or less the same to feudal medieval society after the fall of the Roman Empire: nobles and priests, and then the serfs. It's a universal societal structure, in a way.
That's what Socialism turns in to the government officials are like nobles and priest . The regular people always suck the hind tit.
Medieval Fuedal society was based mostly on Germanic Culture (even in Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, where Vikings and Normans invaded and were assimilated by the local populace), so it could be that the Germanics were similar in social structure to the Celts. That wouldn't be too surprising, as both groups were descended from Proto-Indo-Europeans and often bordered each other.
George Dumezil's trifunctional hypothesis is worth looking at.
Halloween originates from the Druid festival Samhain in honour of the dead. Bopping for Apples was a game they played to choose their sacrifices. Apples were placed in a cauldron of boiling water and captives hand a chance to retrieve an apple to spare their life, while their hands were tied as they knelt around the cauldron. Druids maintained a fearsome reputation in order to remain powerful
Utter bullshit. Utter, utter bullshit. There is no written OR archaeological record for this ANYWHERE. This isn't even Wicker-man levels of ignorance, because at least Caesar wrote about that even if never happened. This is Jack T. Chick levels of ass-pulled nonsense. This post is bad and you should feel bad about it.
Yeah, because there's certainly no connection to the Dagda with the cauldron, none at all. Let's just make things up I guess.
This was actually an extract from the diary of "Biggus Dickus" . As far as the Druids go . No one knows who they were .....or what they were doing , ( Spinal Tap ) .
What language was it in? I'm wondering what he meant by universe and earth?
God I loved translating Ceasar in high school, it was always so easy and used such simple languange
The religious practices of Druids
Further evidence has been found of 'triple deaths' where a victim was simultaneously stoned, drowned, and impaled on a spear. Celtic religion did involve elements of ritual sacrifice, but Druids (and Celts in general) did not conceive of death the way in which we do today
I would believe it if they were burning themselves. But for some reason, all those human-sacrificers always sacrificed some other people. And by the way, I don't know how do you conceive death, but most of the religious people on the planet today believe in immortal soul, I would assume.
There is no evidence of this. The Romans needed to discredit the Druids to destroy the will of the Celts to resist Roman occupation. That's why the had them all killed in the end. They had too much influence as they were philosophers, doctors, judges and bards. All Roman stories can be likened to Nazi proaganda about Jews.

This is taken from his Gallic Campaign Reports. Typically found under the title "The Conquering of Gaul". It's a riveting account. One of the best (if not *the* best) historical writings I've ever read.
Are there any other first hand descriptions of the Druids?
Nerthus very little is known of them. It isn’t even entirely clear if the word was used by the natives to refer to the society or just a case of spiritual/political leaders though obviously the romans seemed to think the latter.
Caesar is a first hand description. He was there; in their land, observing and interacting with them in person.
@Aureli Dalmatia. Extremely interesting. Albanian is related to Illyrian and Venetic. Before the Celts and the Germanic expanded in the Low Countries they probably spoke Venetic there. Ceasar fought the Veneti in Brittany, not far from the land of the Carnutes. This means that the druids can be pre-Celtic.That can also explain why Britain is seen as senior. Celts invaded Britain later then Gaul.
@Finn MickCool : I see you probably have an Irish/Celtic/British/French perspective. Do you have an opinion on the question if the druids in France and England were pre-Celtic yes or no ?
Only just discovered this utube channel and I absolutely LOVE IT ...great work many thanks
"Burning Men was amazing last year."
Fantastic Work. !!!. Thanks.
It's interesting how the Roman's looked down their noses at Human Sacrifices to the gods but they did just the same thing at end of every Triumph celebration. They would slaughter the prisoners of war at the temple of Jupiter at the end of the Parade. Shoutout to History Civilis as my source.
How is killing your enemies equal with human sacrifice?
@@cv4809 how are you so dumb to even ask that question, it's STILL going on ...........
Kinda like the difference between slavery and indentured servitude
Yes, I love that channel as well, especially Historia Civilis's "The Roman Triumph". Everyone should check that one out. They publicly strangle all the captors at the end of the parade.
But it was for entertainment! Are you not entertained?
I was the 4 thousandth like! Love when that happens. Also loving this channel.
super cool
do you buy the story of the wicker man? thanks for the video, excellent work.
Caesar's knowledge of Druidry came from a single source as far as we know: Divitiacus of the Aedui. Most of Caesar's account was aimed at justifying his subjugation of Gaul. Romans were keen to accuse their opponents of human sacrifice - his successor Augustus was accused of sacrificing 300 senators at Perusia. However, if you discount the negative slant, this is the first useful historical account of the Druids.
There is a great deal of archaeological evidence of pre-Roman human sacrifice among the Celts, both large and small scale. Besides the many sacrificed "bog bodies", one that comes to mind is the massive pit found years ago full of hundreds of amputated human arms piled very specifically in a large pattern.
@@DieLuftwaffel how does one use that evidence to prove human sacrifice? Bog bodies are not specifically "Celtic" - I believe Lindow Man is the only British Iron-Age find (correct me if I'm wrong). The idea they were sacrificed is speculation. Your "massive pit found years ago" could equally have been the remains of battle.
I wish Caesar could have played The Mystery of the Druids on PC. He would have loved it
How horrible their deeds were! Thank you for this.
Thanks for watching!
..well done, thanks for the hard work
I don't think you should believe everything said in this manuscript. Cesar might have been politically motivated.
On the other hand there were shades of truth in his writing or propaganda.
@@rogerwilson9892 True though. But did you mean "in his writing OF propaganda"?
Cesar had nothing against praising his enemies wen it was due. He described the Germanic people with admiration for their martial prowess. Not so, the Gauls. Both were his foes, and both served under his banner, But he held the Guals/Celts mostly in contempt. I don’t see how describing them as weak would help him politically back in Rome.
@@JoeSmith-sl9bq Alright. But even without mallace romans did not always write the truth. Tacitus wrote a lot about germanics, but never was in germania.
Well, Cesar did. So he might be more credible.
@@Kestas_X Yes, I did for he wrote about himself as well most people do they overlook their flaws. I heard what he was saying how he admired the Druids of how they control the Gallic kings and people. I heard also to control Britain you can control the Druid and through them the Gallic people.
I stand in awe at this very origin of wood-magicians in hundreds of roleplay games...

Thank you, fascinating stuff. A real snapshot of life in Gaul.

Damn. I wish we still had access to Dacico so Historia Civilis could adapt it.
Somewhat lacking in context was caeser a bit rich coming from a bleedin roman
"Druids are shit, blizzard please buff"-Ceasar
Of course one must always take an ousider's view of an unfamiliar culture as being innately, and unavoidably, biased by the outsider's own enculturated world-view. But indigenous folklore at least supports Caesar on there being a traditional Celtic belief in the immortality of the soul, and possibility of transmigration.
Sure Caesar was biased
But he is less of a propagandists in these issues than most, having to govern the Gaul for a while
He had much respect for the Gauls and Germans and these had prestigious roles in his conquests, I find it quite stunning how he kept these men on his side even during the times of Germanic invasion of Gaul or Galic uprisings
He may very well be the best source to date about the ancient cultures in roman times
Great video! Did you translate it into english yourself?
There is a great audiobook version of all of Ceasars books here on TH-cam. I've listened to them all so many times I almost have it memorized. The translation on this channel can very wildly from what is in the Audiobook format. I find the differences very interesting. Such as in the Audiobook they refer to crops as Wheat while on this channel it's translated as Corn.
@@Wallyworld30 - Corn is a generic term for grain in Europe. It's only in America that we use the word corn to mean maize, and other grains are just lumped together as grain, or referred to as a specific type of grain: rye, wheat, barley, flax (also used to make linen), etc. Remember, maize/corn was unknown in Europe and Britain during the life of Caesar. Not until European explorers discovered the Americas did they encounter maize/corn and potatoes. Sometimes the century in which a translator lived needs to be taken into consideration, although not all people today realize corn was once a generic term for grain of any kind. If one is talking about food crops, wheat may well have been what was raised in order to make flour for bread.
@@bevanderson6245 I know. I was only pointing out how the translation had differences. I wasn't suggesting corn was maize.
Julius Caesar wrote that there was a race of people south of the Sahara desert, which only had one leg, which they hopped around on, and they did not have heads, but had faces in the middle of their torsos. And he really, actually, literally believed it, just like everything else he wrote. So there is no reason to assume that anything he wrote is actually true.
@Macsen Wledig No, it was J.C.
So just because someone believes in Sirens, isn't a great navigator! Like Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci etc !
People here believe in totalities, they could not imagine men of great imagination being men of great talent and skill.
Why does the map say Celtic Gaul? It was known as Transalpine Gaul when I studied Latin and read Caesar's Gallic Wars.
Jean Olley *ahem* they are different maps, the land really had many different names, Celtic Gaul could just be a description used to differentiate it from Roman southern gaul, transalpine Gaul was just a province that yes did include all Gaul when Caesar conquered it, but was later split up... idk those are 3 reasons. Choose one you like and realize that history is a complicated subject.
@@andrewlange7820 thank you for your reply and the little smile that came to my lips with your "ahem". I suppose that I am a purist at heart and wished for a map that was reflective of the period under scrutiny. History is indeed complicated and the Romans are more than a little to blame for the confusion. They stole a lot of stuff from the Etruscans but never gave them credit. They also dismissed the cultures of many nations whose lands they invaded. I find it interesting that they found it necessary to eradicate the Druids as far as they were able whilst adopting other elements of other religions in their vassal states.
Highly recommend a movie called The Wicker Man (1973) with Christopher Lee.
Would explain where the "modern" Mandella effect came from. With a different name. Thanks.
To all neo pagans: ohhh! So it was not the christians who burned the druids! It was other kind of pagans. Ones belonging to the national state!
does anyone happen to know what the music is? x
Spoiler: He killed them all.
Interesting some of the parallels between the Druids system of government and the popes
The parallels are nearly identical in all systems of government and religious orders. Maybe the exception would be something like Pharaohs of Egypt who would have more authority than the religious order.
Nasty habits those Druids had to appease their gods.
@Michael Ward they are both bad, no point in adding that
They sure did deserve a slap🤣
@Michael Ward the Romans gave us the true religion 🤣
The Anglo saxons that created England modelled themselves on Rome and the roman Catholic church
@Michael Ward shut up you mong🤣
Very interesting, especially the use of Greek Alphabet by them.
Didn't know that, was a surpice.
Did caesar even understand the irony in hating the gauls so much? Up to the 2 minute mark it sounded like a description of his own city.
Assuredly. Everything Caesar wrote was propaganda. He did nothing that was not intended to support his own legend and political aspiration.
@@cgavin1 politicians never change
@@KendrickMan There's a great line in HBO Rome where Cato describes Caesar as being 'That criminal, that ravening wolf, that has gorged itself on the blood of Gaul.' About right.
@@cgavin1 I wouldn't use a TV show to draw lessons on historical figures if i were you.
I think it was intentional. Caesar was part of the Populares faction, which believed the aristocratic class of the Roman Republic had too much wealth, too much political power, and was corrupting the Republic. I'm sure he was hoping that any Roman who read that section would think of the Optimates.
Now do what he thought about the druids when he wiped them out. That will be a riveting account.
Every 1st of august in my village in England we burn a giant wicker man full of refugees to thank the gods for a good harvest yes some think it’s backwards but we can’t house them all so in a way it’s a form of kindness
Finn MickCool no no we keep plenty back there is always a steady supply, see the problem with keeping to many is in the winter if it’s lean we have to slaughter a few to feed the rest and with it being 2020 even the refugees are jumping on the “vegan” bandwagon and they won’t eat there friends it’s a whole new can of worms we have had to adapt too
Finn MickCool unfortunately we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country so there isn’t that many lay abouts regardless of the guardian saying we need workers to do the jobs “English” won’t do it’s never been a case in my area that the English won’t do any job which is why we didn’t all die out before mass migration I have noticed wages are a lot less now than before particularly in farming so unfortunately we don’t need to thank any 3rd world country migrants for “saving us” infact we would rather they all stayed in London or there own country’s
Finn MickCool oh dear what a silly Man U are tell me how would us not having a deal with the e.u and moving onto WTO cost us more than the membership costs of being in the e.u they don’t so moving onto WTO will be cheaper also for the last 1000 years Europe has been praying for our demise yet here we are forecasted to grow quicker than the e.u as well isn’t that something the only loser if the uk was to move onto WTO would be the Republic of Ireland not the UK and any trade deal made with the USA will improve our lot with them not make it worse otherwise why would we change our already trading nature with the USA ? The USA can’t force us into anything also take a look at British history we don’t run when the going gets tuff unlike the Irish the French the Spanish the many Arabs etc I think you know very little about the nature of the British or there resilience
Anyone got a link for the drawing at 3:47

I waded through declensions with Caeser in Gaul way back in Latin class.
Reading Caesar was Nectar compared to Cicero.
We used to say in class, " Latin is a language, as dead as dead can be.
It killed the ancient Romans, and now it's killing me."
Damn, it got real dark at the end.

BARBATVS 89 You are wrong. A “frog in the well” understanding of other civilizations and cultures. One illustrationn from among millions - Arjuna, the Kshathriya hero of the Mahabharatha and Sri Krishna’s cousin, friend and disciple, was re-born as the hunter Kannappa Naayanar to acquire that last bit of thapasya, before he could attain mukthi or what you would call “salvation.” So the stateof a hunter was a more evolved state than that of a prince for Arjuna.
Please study with an open mind to know the truth, any truth.
It looks like BARBATVS has deleted his response.
Very every pre-Christian culture/religion.
I read this as "Caesar on the drums"
Lawless Gaming lmao 😂
Et tu ?
Its strange that Caesar describes them as so alien, when the Senate itself likely developed from a priest class (possibly of something similar to druids).
Thank God for Jesus Christ that brought us out of darkness into the Light. God's peace.
Over 2000 years of bs and you're still brainwashed.

Sounds like Roman propaganda to me.
or just Ceasers propaganda used to make his genocide of the Gauls seem more righteous to the Roman public.
@@scottreynolds390 Probably, as the Druids scared the s*** out of the Romans.

Druids were no different than Vedic Brahmins in reality.
Is this a condemnation of Druids or praise?
neither, it's just observation for future use in dealing with them.
@@bobmcbob49 I'd personally side with the Druids over the Legion.
Lol; The Druids were Hebraic Sabbath keepers.
@MR Mister The Irish language also shares many similarities to Hebrew. What are you trying to say?
The druids were a priestly caste very similar to Vedic brahmins.
MR Mister I agree, Mr M. Dr Pidgeon was just in Wales a few months ago. While there he went to the tomb of Joseph of Arimithea (Yahshua’s grandfather’s grave), and the grave of (I think) Barnabas (Bar Nevi).
I was looking at Irish whiskey barrels one day and I noticed something. If you take the word Yiddish, for the language the Jews speak, you find something rather odd if you make a few changes. Drop the Y to get Iddish. Make the d’s an R and don’t roll the R on your tongue as an Irishman would, and you get Irish. Roll the R and you get iddish, add the y back and you’re back at Yiddish. I’m not equating Irish to Yiddish, but I am drawing a similarity between the two names.
The name Dan, being one of the 12 brothers of the 12 tribes of Israel, would have pronounced their name Dahn. The Gaul’s came from Dahn’s brother Gad (pronounces Gaud, like gaudy). The port Donegal was named for those two bloodlines; Dahn and Gaul.
The rampant lions of England and Scotland (and Spain) are the Heralds of the royal line of Judah. One is Gold, for the Kingly line (Jesus’ line) while the other is for the bloodline of the first born. When Zerah was stuck his hand out of his mom, he was declared the first-born. A scarlet thread was tied around his wrist so he would be known by the midwives. The first child to be born was the child without the scarlet thread around his wrist. That’s why the Scot’s fly the banner of the red rampant lion. The brits, being of Pherez claim the royal lineage and therefore fly the banner of the golden rampant lion.
Lastly, that I’ll share here, is this; if you look up the word dulcimer in the strong’s concordance, you’ll see that Bagpipes could have been a translation to use in dulcimer’s stead. Oh, Joseph’s coat of many colors was a tartan.
So yeah, there’s a lot that points to the Druid’s and the Scot’s and the Yiddish (oops, I mean Irish) being Hebrew.
