The Celts were a proud and honorable people.They were also very clean.

The Celts are credited with the invention of soap!

(not a real celt)

They were fierce warriors. But they neverfounded an empire. They never built cities.They lived in small farming communities.

They loved music. And they loved to make up stories,especially stories about the little people - fairies,

elves, leprechauns. Their culture lives ontoday in music, story, and song.

The peoples known as the Celts are thought to have originated in central Europe, to the east of the Rhine in

the areas now part of southern Germany, Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Hungary

Celtic society was divided into three groups: a warrior aristocracy, an intellectual class (that included druids,

poets, and jurists) and everyone else

They made agriculture and grazing important industries: They were efficient farmers, producing a

cereal surplus. Over the years, Cletic culture advanced as the tribes became expert in working tin, bronze, and iron. The

economy was determined according to the geographical landscape: highlands (sheep and wood,

mine activity) or lowlands (farming).

The Celts believed that demons and spirits were everywhere. They counted on their priests, the

druids, to keep them safe from trouble. The druids were responsible for all religious rituals, because

the only person who could talk to a god was a druid. 

The ancient Celts believed in an Otherworld. The

Otherworld was the home of many gods and goddess.

It was a place of joy, where feasts were always

happening. The Otherworld was NOT a heaven. It was NOT a reward for doing

something good on earth. The Celts believed that everyone entered the

Otherworld when they died.

If you were facing an army of Celtic warriors, you would see a seemingly endless field of tall, screaming scary looking god-like creatures with lime spiked hair glowing brightly in the sun, and severed heads hanging from their belts and wagons.

When the Roman army arrived, the Celts did not band together to fight them. The well organized Roman army

found them easy prey. The Romans did not wipe out the Celts. But they did rule the Celts for many years. 

That’s all.
