Mr Red Folklore: Celts didn't invade Brittain-shockhorror (50) RE: Folklore: Celts didn't invade Brittain-shockhorror 09 Dec 17

So, we have Celts from Brittany, we have Celts from Iberia**, we have Celts from Austria and environs.

That is quite a spread, culturally, ethnically and genetically. With the Romans in between. History being written by the winners.

IMNSHO that represents a concept more than a body. Like people (eg Roman/Greek) might use the word foreigners. And we are not talking of one generation, we are talking centuries. A lot of power grab, politicing, trading, migration, fashion and genes can morph in that time.

As I usually say, if you weren't there, you can't really know.

** thinking was when I was young, that the Picts (et al) originated from Iberia.
