Who were the Celts really? Mythical druids of legend or feared warriors of antiquity?
Deep inside the European Alps, sealed salt mines have preserved astonishing evidence of a powerful civilisation that flourished more than 3,000 years ago. These people were neither barbarians nor island dwellers -- they were the rulers of a vast Kingdom of Salt, enriched by one of the most valuable resources of the ancient world.
Now, a remarkable discovery raises new questions. Inside a 2,400-year-old Celtic tomb, the remains of an aristocratic woman and two unusually large men are uncovered. Were they relatives, ritual sacrifices, or part of a mystical ceremony? An international team of scientists investigates this extraordinary burial, searching for the first tangible proof of spiritual rites from the very dawn of Celtic culture.

YouTube transcript reformatted at textformatter.ai exists, but I'm not posting it because it's pretty long, plus the very nice transcripts I post generally get deleted. Feel free to post one, I'm sure it'll be wonderful, but DO NOT PING ME. I viewed and/or listened to the vid in entirety, and had the AI reformat the YT transcript, so I have one. Thanks!
Thanks!
Did they have six fingers and six toes?

Ten fingers and ten toes.

Breakfast: millet and barley, with meat.
Lunch: millet and barley, with meat.
