Wasn't this (post #22) pretty much FReeper "LostTribes" take on things?

[VadeRetro]

Yep. LostTribes, #3Fan, and a few others. That started on one of your threads about an undersea staircase and went on for several.

My take on the Picts has been that tey were a celtic people, perhaps the first to visit the the British Isles. There culture was absorbed by the Scots, an Irish tribe the settled in Argyle. Their easy assimlation suggests a linguistic kinship.<

They are the Little People, the elves, the leprechauns, the gnomes.

Historian Emil Ludwig, in his book about the Nile, recounted some of the tales central Africans told about the pygmies, who shared their lands, and wondered if the very similar European tales about the leprechauns (by whatever name in a particular country)were folk memories of vanished ethnic groups of small stature.

They weren't slaughtered, they got married.

That's a horrible fate . . .

——They were known among themselves as the Catuvallani (the people of the cat), the Damnoni, the Epidii (the people of the horse), the Veniconea, the Novantae, the Caerini (the sheep folk), the Smertae (the smeared people) ——

Hmmm... the names given appear to be greek in origin

I suspect there weren’t really very many picts and they were simply gradually invaded, intermingled and just absorbed into the superior culture.

Thanks blam, the Picts threatened the Romans that if they didn't leave Caledonia immediately, they'd hold their breath until they turned blue.

DNA studies cannot find a 'Pict' gene...they're the same as everyone else.

It looks like their differences were just cultural.
