Shoot, this ain't really news, especially when folks play bagpipes in Turkey.

The archaeologists knew the findings were celt because they were surrounded by really bad food (mushy peas...shudder).

[Renfield]

I agree. I've known about Celts in Turkey for many years. What is surprising?

Given Turkey's history and geography, it would be surprising to find that any group of people had NOT been there at some point!

An old Israeli Rabbi has spent most of his life researching genealogy of the people in that middle eastern region. His website HERE shows why he believes that Celtic tribes were living in that region thousands of years ago, and later migrated westward into most of Europe. He identifies the nomadic people known as Cimmerians who roamed over what is now Turkey thousands of years ago as being Celtic tribes. he believes those tribes migrated westward into Europe and were part of the barbarian tribes known collectively as Gauls who Julius Caesar conquered later on.

I have no idea whether he's right or wrong, but his site is interesting to me because I have an interest in the migration patterns of ancient tribes and racial groups. Yeah I know before anyone says it, I have too much time on my hands.

I guess to the editors at the New York Times this is news.

I have known about Celtics in present day Turkey. That would explain why some Turks look more Caucasian than Mongoloid.

You have no idea how much I love this subject, ever sense I listened to Herbert W. Armstrong on the radio with his World Tomorrow radio broadcast in 1956, I have been totally intrigued with the subject!...I am baffled by the lack of interest in this subject by society, it has to be that it is a threat to established cultural and socio/political established norms.
