Buried for 2,400 Years: The Dark Rituals of the Ancient Celts [49:50]

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. [Hallstatt 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!

No, but somebody drew penises on their foreheads, and that's just rude!
