Can you make a video based on souteast asia history
"By 450bc the Imperialistic Massalian Greeks instead tried to subjugate the Celts as a result Celtic power shifted to the north evolving into La Tene, the La Tene later arrived to western Spain and Ireland." Castro Culture which is Celtic dates back to the first millennium BC, Celts were already in Western Iberia ( or Spain for Kings & Generals). The Proto-Celtic influences in the area are verified.

@@mortache literally my plan
@@mortache age off empires :D
The ancient celts were truly amazing.
The invasion of Rome by the Celts was so humiliating that, after managing to drive them out of the city, the Romans even considered abandoning it and moving to Veii (which had been conquered by Camillus before the appearance of Brenus). However, in the end it was decided to destroy the structures and buildings of Veii to rebuild Rome as a way to start from scratch.
I've heard before that this is the origin of 'to the victor, the spoils' comes from. The story I heard is this is what Brennus said to the defeated Romans. They took it to heart.
Indeed that, and the "Vae Victis" exclamation - "Woe to the vanquished."
V
"Veiian empire" doesn't sound as good, I'm glad they stayed in Roma
I would still say that it has a nice ring to it.@@aluminiumknight4038
As a French fascinated by the Gallic history I must congratulate you for the accuracy of information and precaution of terms used. Indeed it is true that the "Gauls" themselves wouldn't call themselves as such I prefer to consider it as an ethno-cultural continuum.
And funny enough still today we have this -W -G shifts for :
- Wallonia, in Belgium which is the Germanization of Gaul
- Wales in Britain, that we call "Galles" in French
:)
Welsh/Wales ça veut dire l'étranger (c'est la raison pour laquelle ils n'aiment pas qu'on les apelle les Gallois/Welshman), en Bretagne le nom ultra courant Le Gall veut dire l'étranger, (le français en l'occurence pour les bretons)
Le nom d'origine en Gaélique brittonique ancien pour les habitants et le pays est "Kymry" qui a évolué (anglicisé ?) en Cymry, puis a donné Cymru pour le pays (mon nom Breton a connu le même sort et a été "francisé" ainsi que le lieu auquel il réfère). Je préfère dire Kymry.
Aetius, this name was also used by Germanic or Slavic for Romans, such as "Welchen" , "Wlochy" , "Volochi" for Italy and Romania.
Galicia in Norther Spain also means land of gauls
In Portuguese we call Gales, because it was common back then to turn W's into G's when translating a German word to vulgar Latin. So Wilhelm became Gilhelm, that later became Guilherme that is the translation of William. The same way, Waelas became Wales, and Wales became Gales that is how we spell to this day.

I can hardly believe that I once thought the Celts were just the scottish and Irish. Their history is incredible. Thank you for all the videos you make. I LOVE history and love listening to these videos while I work.
Me too, I'm so embarrassed, history lessons were really rubbish
Those are probably the least celtic. Celtic only by language.

I didn't expect such a deep dive to result in a fascinating examination of Roman-Celtic relations. It is really fascinating to see how much Romans adopted from the Celts, their one-time oppressors, until seeing the relationship turn around entirely and seeing the Romans conquer the Celtic tribes across so many different theaters of Europe. It really drives home how one of Rome's greatest strengths was adaptability and a willingness to adopt innovation, regardless of where that innovation may have come from. Thanks for this interesting documentary!
from reading this i now think it was you what would the real killer say himmmmm
KIngs and Generals, have you considered making a playlist of these full-length documentaries in chronological order? I like going through these from time to time but they are somewhat hard to find among the other video’s. With a saved playlist people could also keep track of where they.
Yep, we have to create that playlist
I support the idea
@@KingsandGenerals Please, please, please!
@@bycromwellshelmet2369 It is done now! There is a link in the description
Brilliant! Thank you very much. There are some parts of the world whose history I have no interest in. But now I can at least view your take on them when I've finished all else.
As mentioned, at one point a Celtic mini-kingdom was founded just south of Haemus (Stara Planina). Local Thracians gradually reduced the newcomers. The Celtic capital was called Tylis. The modern Bulgarian village of Tulovo occupies this ancient site.
I went to re-watch a different long-form video by you guys not long before this one was released. That left me thinking "Man, I wished they organized all their long-form documentaries into a playlist, so it'd be easier to find one to re-watch."
Yeah I'm glad they did! 😁👍
That whole thing felt about 20 minutes long the way it kept moving. Your work is amazing.
OMG I'm so excited for this you don't understand! I greatly appreciate your massive effort into covering Celtic history. As a proud Irish man who speaks Gaelic and our language reflects the Celtic era very strongly. Words and phrases we use, made by the Celts who made refuge in Ireland and Scotland, blending into the population and helped shape our art and literature. The famous Irish Celtic cross is stunning evidence of their talent and philosophy in the book of the Kells. I love Kings and Generals!

Thank you again for another amazing documentary! Love these when i'm settling down for the night!
Galicia, in Ukraine, has a disputed etymological origin. It is derived from the village Halych (G sound is an H in Ukrainian). There is a theory on it being a cognate of "Gaul", but other theories have to do with ancient non-Celtic tribes in the area, and the simplest theory is actually that it derives from the Ukrainian word "halka" meaning crow and a crow is also depicted in the coat of arms of Halych and associated with the town. I think the latter makes the most sense but with documented evidence of Celts once inhabiting the region, I can see the potential association with Gaul.
Thank you for this insight
The crow is a Celtic war symbol 🤔
@@aeryinavioletright and IT IS also an important Nordic Symbol.
Galicia would have gotten its name from the conquering french and has no connection with the mediaeval Slavic Halych. Ukraine means frontier in Russian and is the frontline against the west.
@@not-much-but-enough Because our history is totally contingent on Russia, right? Not!
Galicia has nothing to do with France, or Russia.
I love coming home and being surpirsed with 2 hours of history!
An individual with Galician Celtic roots, I was very excited to see this video. Great work as always from my favorite war documentary makers, I’ve never found another history channel quite as detailed, directly put, yet easy to ingest.
Im lucky to be from one of the countries with rich celtic history (Im from Bohemia). Since I was a kid I have visited this village with celtic origins every summer. There are still some celtic ruins in the surrounding forests. Weirdly there are hardly any tourists. Its a very empty and tranquil place. As I grew up, I spent more and more time amongst these ruins. Ancient defensive walls and *deep* defensive trenches (some 15 meters at its deepest), the forest silently watching over it, trees some of which are over 300 years old growing all over the place - Its absolutely magical. I slept there a bunch of times next to a campfire. Ive never seen deeper and more impenetrable darkness than what Ive seen between these ancient walls when the sun goes down. No matter if there is a big bright fullmoon in the sky or not, you just see *nothing* the moment you cross the treeline into these ruins. Nothing moves, nothing makes a sound. Its just you and 3000 years of history all around. I do plan to drop some acid there, thats going to be one hell of a shamanic night.
Instead of dropping acid ..I instead used to bang my Czech/Brno Girlfriend in the same forest you are talking about!🤣
@@Bigsky1991 That would very strange coincidence. This is one of several places in Bohemia and Moravia thats known to have celtic history.
the boii inhabited bohemia. the name comes from them, boii-heimia or home of the boii.
Beautiful work on this far ranging topic. These stories should be shared with the world's young people, because they make history so much more vivid and comprehensible than the textbooks that I found hard to follow when I was in school. Timeless lessons from times and places and people's of old.
Wow this documentary is phenomenal, thank you for all your hard work and well done research

Always wonder how much Roman and Celtic histories/relations change if Vercingetorix wins the battle of Alesia and wipes out Caesar's army. Does the Senate bother trying to avenge him? Or do they consider it a just end for what they deemed an illegal war? I feel like as long as Vercingetorix doesn't let his head swell, he can secure decent enough terms with Pompey that keeps Gaul free at least in that generation, but then they're most likely a buffer client kingdom wedged between Germanic tribes and Rome, so they might end up like Armenia, always worried about both sides and imperial consolidation.
Thank you for describing the Gallic cultures in detail, with them being actually more than the "I fight Rome and I have a mustach" we see in many cultural depictions
I love how the history of the Celts starts out about Celts and slowly turns into a documentary about how Rome destroyed the Celts over a long period of time.
I was astonished when I came across this video purely by chance. So much scholarship, so much detail and high production values throughout. This documentary exceeds broadcast standards in every respect. The work that must have gone into this two hour production beggars belief. I’d love to know how big your production team is. Substantial I would imagine.
great video, didnt expect an long top notch quality documentary about the Celtic history but it very much appreciated!!!
21:43 Galicia isn't a province of Portugal... it's in Spain; though it's more closely related to Portugal in cultural and linguistic terms, indeed; just after the neighboring Spanish region of "Asturias". Anyway, great video! greetings from Venezuela.
It's named after the Calaeci tribe whose port under Roman rule was called Porta Calaeci which later evolved into Portugal and then got chosen as the name for an entire country. So the original Galicia must have included Porto.
@@damionkeeling3103 Firstly, the port was named "Portus Cale", not "Porta Calaeci"... Secondly, there wasn't such a thing as a "Calaeci" tribe (as if it was a single big tribe), nor did they call themselves by that name; "Calaeci" is a generic term used for putting a bunch of tribes in the same bag, though they were all part of the Celticized "Castro Culture", and therefore very closely related, indeed. Thirdly, "Galicia" doesn't equal "Gallaecia" (which included lands in nowadays "Portugal"); modern-day "Galicia" developed from a cultural and political divide between its northern (most in nowadays "Spain") and southern parts (mostly in Portugal). Things such as: 1. the rise of the town of "Lugo" over the previous capital of Gallaecia, "Braga"; 2. the influx and settlement of Britons in the North, and 3. Castile's influence, *would all play their part on the split of Gallaecia, and the birth of the regions of "Galicia" and "Portugal"*.
@@damionkeeling3103 Also, the settlement of Britons in the North during the 5th and 6th centuries A.D. (which concentrated in modern-day Galicia's "mariñas" [coastal areas] of the provinces of "Lugo" and "A Coruña") is the main reason why Galicia could be considered a "Celtic Nation", and why Northern Portugal (former Southern Gallaecia) *can't*. Portugal just didn't get another wave of Celtic migrants after its Romanization, but Galicia did.
@@smllinaress
And the Romans had such a presence and influence in the territory that it is today Portugal that in a study done by the Complutense University of Madrid and Coimbra University about the genetics of the Iberians didn't find in the Portuguese the genetic markers of the ancient Romans and modern Italians that are found all over Spain.
Even here in Wales, we have two slightly different versions of the welsh language.
Northwalian and the southwalians.

The name Galli comes from the latin "gallus" which mean rooster. They called them like that because they would decorade their battle helmets with rooster feathers, hence the name. This is also the reason why Frances' coat of arms is the "coq".
While that is true of the latin term and for the english word "gallic" (although the romans probably derived it from celtic *galnati: to be able, rather than from feathered helmets), interestingly it is unrelated to the word Gaul (from french Gaule, ultimately from Frankish)
La Tène art is very pretty, but a mindfuck to draw xD
The linguistic development is quite interesting to follow for me, I speak Irish, but now I'm inspired to increase my awareness of the differences between these Celtic languages.
Excellent documentary. Thanks a lot, I learned much from this.
In exchange, I offer you the story of the end of Viriathus revolt, which I'm sure you already know, but wasn't expanded upon on the video.
It is said that, being harassed by Viriathus forces' guerrilla tactics, the consul Quintus Servilius Caepio tried to subvert Viriathus seconds-in-command, Audax, Ditalcus and Minurus, who had been sent to negotiate a treaty (Viriathus already realizing he couldn't win a prolonged war with Rome). He promised them a substantial bribe and managed to make them betray their leader. After assassinating Viriathus, the three went to Caepio to ask for their reward. Caepio told them "Rome does not pay traitors who kill their chief" and had them killed.
Caepio would later return victorious to Rome, but he was denied a triumph because he had won by treachery instead of military prowess.
Today, the idiom "Rome does not pay traitors" survives in the Spanish language (I don't know if it does too for our Portuguese neighbours). It's used when a person's questionable acts fail to bring them the benefits they expected.
Roma no paga a traidores.
I absolutely LOVE this channel for this,, in general this is the best history channel on TH-cam
Thank you!
ive been subbed since 100k and it's been rewarding to spend so much time watching your documentaries
18:42 One tiny correction.
The location where supplicants of Sequana dropped offerings into the water was at the _source_ of the Seine, not at its mouth (the mouth is on the coast of Normandy where it flows into the Channel).
The source is in Burgundy, in a commune called "Source-Seine Saint-Germain."
Fifth! I am so hyped for this. The Celts are such a fascinating European and probably Atlantic culture. We might have to rewrite our history book as soon as more about ancient seafaring has been learned.
i love these long docs, simply perfection. Man do i wish i could like this alot more than one time :D
a great way to pass time during COVID 🙏🏻🫶🏻
It’s over now though
Love your work, nothing better for working from home with some historical stories
While the Halstatt culture seems to be the origin of the Celts, DNA studies contradict this - they have traced Celtic DNA migration path from Balkans across N Italy (where they did not stay, but later returned to), S France and N Spain, after that the DNA path goes up the coast of France - then in splits one into British isles (with evidence of a large migration) and the other into central France and S Germany - lastly going back into Balkans and then into Asia Minor.
Personally, I don't know how to solve this conflict of Celtic origin theory, but it would have been nice to have the question addressed in this otherwise excellent video.
I’m Galician and I didn’t know that we had that much history wow❤
13:50 and in Brittany, the Veneti gave their name to the medieval city of Vannes, same for the Redones and the city of Rennes (Condate Riedonum) (names chosen by the French as in breton their names are Gwened and Roazhon, even if Rennes never was really named that way as it is in Gallo territory of Brittany, not the Breton territory).
Great video. A fair tribute to the ancient celts, and a valuable effort to counter the old misconceptions about them.
If animal sacrifices have been proven, human sacrifices never were. We can doubt their existence, knowing all the lies greeks and romans built around celts, that were still believed to be true for the most part recently.
About the Carnyx, the "war trumpet". It is now believed it had a religious ritual use only, as it's quite impossible handling it on your own its head facing the enemy. It was rather used by two men, its head facing the ground.
And if heratic naked warriors willing to fight this way for religious purpose may have existed, celts warfare more likely consisted of well organised walls of spears and shields, assisted by heavily armored nobles and cavalry. But knowing their tribal society organisation, they would have been a small number facing the well organised roman legions, arguing the difficulty they had to counter the roman invasion. That's litteraly what happened in Alesia, the lack of strong unity between different tribes, even if they had strong cultural unity. Disunity, you explained it well. (What is crazy is observing the same plague plunder a flourishing Breton kingdom against the French 1000 years later! Or the britons against the angles and the saxons. Celts in a nutshell 🤷🏻)
Not forgetting the fight between the Veneti and Roman fleets. A fascinating piece of historical warfare that proves once more the technological advances of the Gauls.
Overall, truly amazing work. You got you a new subscriber!
This was really good. I haven't even tried listening to your longer form content but I will now
Great documentary full of fantastic information, and very entertaining. Thank you for the upload.
I never considered the origins of the Celts before watching this documentary. It feels like one of those topics that I just assumed had little historical content before the popular (in this case Roman) history picked up. Boy do I stand corrected.
Wonderfully informative! Thank you for your time and effort
This channel is what the history channel should be !
Excellent work, well done!
I will wait rather impatiently for the next instalment. This was excellent, and I am very excited to see this level of detail put into the British Isles Celts and Roman Britain.
Thanks for keeping up with these videos. Really appreciate the work your doing
Rome never forgot about it 34:54 and you created them moment starts all the way until Gaul was pacified by a Colossus named Ceasar.
and then the chad french continuously invaded pillaged ravaged and sacked shitaly 🤮
Roman Ambassadors: "Why did you start this war?"
Celts: "The same reason you guys invade your neighbors."
Entirety of Rome: "So you have chosen death."
Gauls: "And you've chosen shame." 😏🗡🎑🎖
Final struggle ? Well Celtic people are still alive and struggling today, and represent some of the last visible european minority group, much like Sami people in Norway (except that celt dont get that kind of recognition).
Really appreciate these longer compilation videos!
Please keep this up. Outstanding as always
I recently got a triskelion tattoo since my family has part islander/Celt/Welsh background but I feel like I don’t know a whole lot about the culture except through the lense of Roman history and the German migrations.. so I’m gonna have to check this out later 👍
Your work is good. The only critique I have is that you omit or gloss over the common root of the Indo Europeans, in this and other presentations. A quick summary of the proto Indo Europeans from the Yamna to the Corded Ware & the splits to the Indo-Aryans, Greeks, Romans etc. could be quick & would add valuable information to the uninformed. Many don't realize that the Celts & Greco-Romans were distantly related, for instance.
As I understand it the Celtic and Italic languages are quite closely related and probably diverted from an ancestral root of a branch of the Indo European mother tongue. More so than the German ic languages anyway.
@@eponymousarchon7442 I've read the same thing. I think the Villanova culture was a cross point. It would make sense since they were neighbors & both inhabited parts of Italy. I used to have a bit of angst towards the Italians for the conquest of Gaul but understanding the shared roots broadend my understanding, not only of my ancestors but of humanity more broadly. It's a fascinating subject & we can't let one tyrant cast a shadow over one of humanities most incredible groups.
Both Latins and Celtics are descendants of the Bell Beaker Culture of the Bronze Age. That culture dominated BA Western Europe and the men carried the R1b y DNA haplogroup. Stregny Stog (Proto Indo-European) > corded ware > Bell Beaker > Celts & Roman, later received more cardial DNA (med) DNA.
@@eponymousarchon7442some linguists (although this is a minority) suggest that Celtic and Italic aren’t fully separate, but rather that Italic is a highly divergent branch of Celtic (they don’t actually call it celtic but this is basically the idea). This is due to the highly divergent nature of P-Celtic and Q-Celtic, it is doubted whether they truly had a common ancestor for a time after Italic had already broken off from Italo-Celtic. Again though, this is not widely accepted, but it is one of several credible theories about the history of all these languages, which goes to show how similar Latin and Celtic are.
I Really Do Appreciate the
Effort you have put
forth on this
Content.
:)
14:00 No mention of the Boii tribe? Boiohaemum, or the "land of the Boii" now called Bohemia, now Czechia.
West of Bohemia is Bavaria which is also named after the Boii.
Well the average modern northern European is considerably taller than southern europeans so I don't think the stereotype of gauls being tall is false
Don’t judge me but one of my favorite pastimes is getting high and watching these really long videos. Thank you for these as it’s a beautiful account of history that I knew very little of.
Excellent program. It fills in some holes I had in my knowledge base.
"From my ancestors the Gauls I inherited pale blue eyes, a narrow skull, clumsiness in warfare... from them I get idolatry and love of sacrilege" Arthur Rimbaud, 1873.
In CK3 I almost always use the TIP Vol II mod to play as a Welshman (a fictional Count of Dyfed) who's trying to revive the old ways of the Britons. Saving Brittany from West Frankia always feels good lol. I've yet to ever make yr Ymerodraeth Brydein (the Empire of Brydein, a name redditors on a Welsh reddit helped me make) but only because of buggy AI and Holy War issues. Maybe I'll try again soon.
This content is literally without peer. Can't thank you enough for continuing to make this platform a place I come to learn and I hope you continue until no stone is left unturned. Long live the King (and his generals)
2 hours?! Wow, thanks for the amazing work!
At the start now. I’m a Celtic literature historian. Fascinated to see how you approach this because, particularly theories of early Celtic history are heavily debated and rapidly evolving. I hope you mention this!
The biggest mistake the Celts made was not wiping Rome off of the map in the first battles.
@IBZ Less go
Well, they shouldn't have been talking s***!
Wonderful work! Enjoyed every minute!
Wow. Thanks, very in depth. Cheers to the matey who led me to your videos very informative.

I would've liked to have seen a more detailed description of the weapons the Celts used including real pictures and recreations in 3D if possible.
Can you do a video over the avar khaganate ? Not really many videos over them
Very good doc! please continue to make more of those!
This is a perfect way to kick off my days off. Thank you!
@32:07 They most have wanted the hills to their right to prevent flanking. Otherwise it seem like it would have been smarter to position farther back down the road where the area between the Allia and the Tiber was narrower. Maybe even across the river. Being outnumbered almost 2 to 1 and not having the equipment and strategy of later Romans, they were probably screwed anywhere they fought.
I didn't expect this clip but it was a great experience, I'm looking forward to a full scale series of the conflicts between Rome and Carthage with a detailed explanation of all the wars, especially the first one which is touched on a bit, it will also be interesting to do a big project on the Norse history of the vikings from what was in sweden, denmark and norway to the wars and the settlement of eastern europe by known as kiev rus a real viking state not so russian or ukrainian, england, ireland, northern france, southern italy etc. ., and especially the discovery of Iceland, Greenland, and America, made like the series about the Arabs, but more detailed and animated like that of the Crusades or the Roman Civil War
Oh man it's been so long since I've watched your Celt videos this'll be great!
Not just saying this as one of their many descendants, but the Celts were such a hardy people. They survived for centuries against insurmountable odds.
As if humans aren't sacrificed in modern days, it's just a different looking ritual for profit or power.
Absolutely. Only today they worship Money, "Progress", """Science""".....
Simply fantastic, thank you for making these educational videos
I absolutely love these videos! Thank you so much!
Result: Germanic and Romance speaking Celts today

I was looking for a playlist with all the full length documentaries and could not find one. Is there somewhere in the channel where these are housed? For example, the full length documentary for the Greek revolution is not in the Greek Revolution playlist and does not seem to be in any others. I may be wrong on this but either way, was curious if these full length documentaries are in a curated list somewhere?
We need to make that, good point!
Hello Kings and Generals. Can you also make video about Sythians and origin of Central Asia? Thanks in advance.

You missed the Cornish.
hahahaha you,ve relly have gotting your wires crossed buddy , for one the gaul happened to be french & or danes , hahaha , from the u.s.a. !
The Cornish are Celts not anglo- saxon, A Cornishman can speak to a Welshman and a Bretagne in their own language and be mutually understandable .
There seemed to be a lot of leaders called "Bren-something" (Brennus etc). One wonders if these might have been their actual proper names or whether the Roman and Greek authors are just using the common noun that their adversaries were using for "the king"? The modern Welsh word for king is "brenin"
The Gaulish word for king was ‘rix’ (hence why many of the kings had names ending in rix, eg Vercingetorix meant something like great warrior king). Brennus and the like may have been the Romans’ perception of another word with a similar meaning, maybe leader or chief?
