| ABOUT
THE CELTS The Celts were a group of peoples that
originated in the Danube River Valley around 800 BC
and eventually stretched from the British Isles to Galatia.
They had many dealings with other cultures that bordered the lands
they occupied, and though
they kept no written records themselves, we can piece together a fair picture of them from
archaeological evidence as well as historical accounts from other cultures.
In
spite of hundreds of scholarly books written in the
last 20 years that are widely available and easy to
read there continues to be many misconceptions about
the Celts. There is still widespread belief in the many
romantic fictions perpetrated by the Victorians.
The internet has added
a plethora of misguided websites to the mix. All I can
offer are my humble insights to help guide you through
the forest of misinformation.
