0:17 · I recently made a video about the Roman
0:19 · do decahedron an enigmatic ancient
0:22 · bronze object with 12 pentagonal faces
0:25 · featuring various sized holes and
0:27 · protruding knobs where the corners of
0:29 · each face meets archaeologists and
0:31 · historians commonly associate it with
0:34 · the Roman Empire however a closer
0:36 · examination of its distribution
0:39 · contextual evidence and cultural
0:41 · significance strongly suggests that
0:43 · these intriguing objects may in fact
0:46 · have Celtic Origins not Roman I was
0:49 · going to mention it in the previous
0:50 · video I made but I took that paragraph
0:53 · out while I was editing as I decided to
0:55 · look into it more and keep that video
0:57 · specifically on the subject of what it
1:00 · could have been potentially used for
1:02 · which includes a compilation of the
1:04 · different ideas and creative practical
1:06 · uses of the design of the do decahedron
1:08 · that people have suggested and
1:10 · experimented with I'll link that video
1:12 · in the description if you would like to
1:14 · watch that after this video so now let's
1:16 · get into its potential Celtic origin and
1:19 · take a look at the evidence I've
1:21 · compiled to support it firstly we'll
1:23 · look at the estimated dating of these
1:25 · objects these do decahedrons are
1:28 · primarily made of bronze a copper tin
1:30 · alloy which being made from metal
1:33 · doesn't contain any organic material so
1:35 · the items themselves can't be directly
1:38 · radiocarbon dated rather the estimated
1:41 · dating of these objects is done
1:43 · indirectly by radiocarbon dating organic
1:46 · materials from the same location that
1:48 · they were found and the regions where
1:50 · most of these do decahedrons have been
1:52 · discovered were part of the Roman Empire
1:54 · from around the 1st to the 5th Century
1:56 · CE which is why they were dated to that
1:59 · time and are commonly considered Roman
2:01 · artifacts over 130 DOA hedra have been
2:05 · found so far and most of them were found
2:08 · in areas that were once part of Celtic
2:10 · Gul and Britain which the Roman Empire
2:13 · took control of notably these artifacts
2:16 · have predominantly been found in France
2:19 · Belgium and neighboring countries which
2:22 · coincidentally up until around 100 BCE
2:25 · is almost an exact overlay of Celtic Gul
2:28 · and Britain which were gradually
2:31 · conquered by the Roman Empire over the
2:33 · next couple of centuries so is it really
2:36 · just a coincidence that every DOA hedron
2:39 · has been found in just these regions I
2:41 · find that hard to believe even when the
2:44 · Roman Empire ruled these regions Celtic
2:47 · culture still held much influence in
2:50 · many places up until around the 5th
2:52 · Century CE which coincidentally lines up
2:55 · with the later estimated dating of these
2:57 · objects plus the fall of the Roman
2:59 · Empire was during the latter half of the
3:02 · fth century in the year
3:04 · 476 in contrast no do decahedron has
3:08 · been Unearthed in Italy or other core
3:10 · Roman territories which you would expect
3:12 · something this unique and widespread to
3:15 · also be found if it was actually an item
3:17 · created by the Roman Empire this
3:20 · Geographic disparity alone pulls into
3:22 · question the commonly held belief that
3:24 · the do decahedron is a Roman invention
3:27 · and certainly suggests quite strong ly
3:30 · to me that these artifacts most likely
3:32 · did originate from Celtic culture
3:34 · another thing to note is that the Kelts
3:36 · particularly The Druids were well known
3:39 · for their oral Traditions rather than
3:41 · keeping written records like the Romans
3:43 · did the majority of writings we have
3:45 · about The Druids come from Greek and
3:47 · Roman writings and not The Druids
3:50 · themselves The Druids would pass their
3:52 · education religious practices and
3:54 · worldviews down through generations via
3:57 · word of mouth so their lack of document
4:00 · keeping could also support why we find
4:02 · no writings or depictions of the do
4:04 · decahedrons if they relied on Word of
4:07 · Mouth to pass down the knowledge and
4:08 · meaning of what these artifacts were
4:10 · used for the Romans may have even found
4:13 · these artifacts after invading Celtic
4:15 · tribes and settlements but perhaps never
4:18 · knew what they were actually for a few
4:20 · do decahedrons were even found with
4:23 · traces of wax so perhaps these were from
4:26 · some Romans using them as candle holders
4:28 · instead of them just sitting there as a
4:30 · useless ornament especially as they
4:32 · probably looked more fancy than whatever
4:34 · they were using as a candle holder
4:36 · before even to this day the Druid
4:38 · culture remains enigmatic and open to
4:41 · interpretation with historians going
4:43 · back and forth in opinions as to whether
4:45 · the Roman writings of Druid practices
4:48 · are actually accurate or more
4:50 · politically driven to make Roman readers
4:52 · think the Roman Empire was more Superior
4:55 · the do decahedron itself with its
4:57 · geometric precision and potential ritual
5:00 · significance could also align with
5:02 · Celtic craftsmanship which often
5:04 · Incorporated complex patterns and
5:06 · symbols into their metal work jewelry
5:09 · symbolic designs and artwork if it were
5:13 · a Roman artifact of significant
5:15 · importance you might expect to find at
5:17 · least some mention in historical
5:20 · accounts or visual representations
5:22 · especially as quite a lot have been
5:24 · found throughout numerous regions
5:26 · featuring practically the same design
5:29 · yet not one mention or depiction has
5:31 · been discovered of Roman origin to this
5:33 · day so the lack of any Roman references
5:36 · for such a widespread object may also
5:38 · further strengthen the argument for its
5:40 · Celtic Roots while the do decahedron is
5:43 · often classified as a Roman artifact I
5:46 · think the evidence I've laid out
5:47 · suggests a more complex narrative to be
5:50 · considered the geographic concentration
5:52 · of finds in keltic regions the lack of
5:55 · any finds in Italy Rome or other core
5:58 · Roman regions the ab of Roman
6:00 · documentation or Visual depictions and
6:03 · the alignment of the doca hedin's
6:05 · characteristics with Celtic culture all
6:07 · point to the possibility that this
6:09 · object is more closely linked to Celtic
6:12 · artisanship and spirituality than it is
6:14 · to Roman Innovation further research
6:17 · into its Origins and functions may even
6:19 · reveal deeper connections to the rich
6:21 · tapestry of Celtic tradition
6:23 · particularly that of The Druids who left
6:26 · an enduring Legacy despite their lack of
6:28 · written records the Kelts had a deep
6:31 · connection to Nature geometry and the
6:33 · cosmos and the do decahedron
6:35 · multifaceted design might have held
6:38 · symbolic meaning or served a practical
6:40 · purpose in their rituals or daily life
6:43 · the purpose of the doah hedron is also
6:46 · still unknown and widely debated plus no
6:49 · Roman item has ever been found that
6:51 · could be directly associated with the
6:53 · design of these artifacts to infer a
6:56 · potential practical use or purpose but
6:59 · as I mentioned earlier my previous video
7:01 · goes deeper into the different ideas and
7:04 · practical experiments of what the design
7:06 · of the do decahedron could have been
7:07 · used for with theories ranging from a
7:10 · religious object a tool for either
7:12 · measurement knitting gloves making rope
7:15 · making jewelry or even a military
7:18 · decoding device so check out my previous
7:21 · video for an in-depth look at these
7:23 · different ideas and practical
7:25 · experiments as some are surprisingly
7:27 · compelling but hopefully one day we will
7:29 · finally Crack the Code of what this
7:31 · enigmatic object was actually used for
7:34 · and which culture actually created it so
7:38 · what do you think I would love to hear
