Gold and amber jewellery found in the grave indicate the woman was of high rank
Respectfully yours ping.
Well, THIS is certainly an eye-opener. Thanks for posting!
Good post. Only the Germans are really, really simplifying things.
“Celtic art and Celtic culture have their origins in south-western Germany, eastern France and Switzerland and spread from there to other parts of Europe,” said Dr Krausse.”
The Celts were displaced 7,500 years ago when the isthmus between Europe and Asia was breached by the Mediterranean Sea.
The Old Euxine Lake flooded, causing a panicked and massive migration of people fleeing in all directions. The Old Euxine Lake became what the ancients called the New Euxine Sea, what we today refer to as the Black Sea.
Populations with Celtic DNA would later be found in what is today southwestern Turkey. The mummified remains of red-haired people in the central Asian deserts are probably Celtic in origin, if the Chinese would ever allow them to be tested. Eastern Europe is known for redheads, and the Po Valley of northern Italy was considered Celtic by the ancient Romans.
Go bring up the Declaration of Arbroath and read it.
The Greek name for the Celts was Galatoi. Some of them invaded Greece in the 3rd century BC and eventually settled in Asia Minor—in the region that got the name Galatia. Later the Romans enlarged the province of Galatia, so the Galatians St.Paul wrote to were not Celts but Greek-speakers. Apparently there were still some Celtic-speakers in Asia Minor much later.
I certainly hope that when they have finished all their tests, they give the Celtic princess a proper Celtic funeral and dump her in the sea.
My Czech friends have known this for years.
I read that they retrieved her teeth. Do you suppose they can also retrieve DNA, and what would that tell us?
Thanks. I love Celtic art and ornamentation. It has a wonderful sense of movement arising from it’s curves and patterns.
