- 800 years before the birth of Jesus, nomadic war-like people took root and rose in central Europe. Their world was awash with benign spirits and demonic forces. While they built temples, nature was their cathedral. Like many other civilizations in the ancient world, they worshipped a sun god and mother goddess, and the afterlife was an extension of the virgin vitality of their life on earth. The druids were the priests and magistrates who held their world together and performed secret rituals and sacrifices. To the classical civilizations of their day, they were barbarians, at their gates to haunt their dreams. And yet, they would create art in metal that would rival that of Rome and Greece. Masters of the horse and of iron, they were the Celts.
From a time before time was first measured, humankind has pondered the question of God. As the image of that god formed in their mind, they fashioned it in wood, paint and stone and housed it in holy places. The ancient world was populated with gods beyond counting. Today, just one God dominates the world of believers. Where have the old gods gone? Our quest is to peel away the layers of time to examine the civilizations that brought the gods to power and honoured them with art and architecture and to discover the ultimate fate of the Lost Gods.

As a person from Scotland and studies pagons ect this was fascinating thanks for the upload
The Queen of the coast orders you all to catch all the monitoring spirits and demons in Leamington Ontario Canada and bury them in witch bottles. Non revocable order no matter what you hear from anyone.
You really study something that you can't spell?
I've watched a number of Parable episodes and this was one of the best. I'd love to see more on this and related subjects by Christy Kenneally!!
Thank you so much for your beautifully presented, informative, succinct presented video. Xx
We can also thank the Celts for Halloween too
Halloween could be so much better if we did it like our ancestors
@@sailienulatcm7179 it’s practiced in county Meath Ireland every Halloween the actual way. No sacrifices 😂😂
@@sailienulatcm7179 you wrong
Yay!!! Thank you so much 💓🥰
There are so many academic and very well researched documentaries out there about the Celtic Peoples. This is not one of them.
Can you tell us some that are good?
Definitelly , was my impression after the first 10 minutes. It‘s like all the documentations about „ the vikings „. Had to shot it down and scroll through the comment section if i‘m the only one who thinks this is a bad information source ! Cheers to you.
Do you have some recommendations for good documentaries perharps?
Really great presentation 💫✨🌟✨💫
Took way too long to mention the Celtic spiritual advisers. Rather tired of this human sacrifice propaganda. There was capital punishment and there would be a spiritual act of some kind involved as with last rights and such. And Druids were involved. But that in no way means it was a Human Sacrifice. At the point where Rome was in what is now the UK, they had just outlawed Human Sacrifice and its all politics...Ceaser had his own cultural ideas and political plotting to do. Divination but entrails was a Roman practice...they practised Haruspicy. I do not know of any records showing a tradition of Haruspicy in Celtic Cultures.
Thank you!! This frustrates me so much when I try to learn more about Celtic culture. I heard that Caesar made up some shit about them way back when and that's part of how the druids "sacrificing humans" propaganda was perputated. They're portrayed as barbaric pagans with few morals and I wish more documentaries or videos like this were neutral.
This channel is pure christian propaganda. This video is nothing at all close to reliable. In fact it is borderline religious discrimination it is so blatantly misrepresenting Celtic culture. If the people were still alive it would be a criminal act - a literal civil rights violation in the usa =)) There are very good and unbiased youtubers making great academic and accurate videos about European history. See Fortress of Lugh for example.
The nature and meaning of sacrifice is entirely different now and then. What is modern warfare now but sacrifice to the state that sets themselves up as god's? It's not to society, it's secular and there is no tribe only the false worship of the state/corporation. Sacrifice then meant just that and you don't give what is of most value to the tribe unless you are desperate, the irony being Caesar was probably the cause of any human sacrifice that did happen and was the beginning of the false worship of state. People say the word but have no idea of the meaning.
That's because there is no records of the celtic people by the celtic people there os no evidence that they did or didn't sacrifice people and your comment looks like cope 'it may be an execution' you don't know I don't know nobody knows and I can't understand how it frustrates you so much that a culture we know next to nothing about is not properly represented
very good
Adopted art back to 4ooo B.C. by other counts. All the north pronounced Norse. I like that nature was their cathedral description and the Thunder God too. A pleasure to listen to and as always burn Rome burn!
Christianity has got so much to answer for...it's about time it was snuffed out for good and all.
Correction: "Vini, vidi, vici" pertained to a battle in Anatolia, not France.
Being Scottish I was brought up on tales of the Picts and possibly a thousand more historical tales, myself and my brothers always knew where we came from, I can't speak for the Irish but our rich history was taught in primary school with each lesson you could feel your pride grow but nothing made me more proud than knowing that our Pict warriors were enough to make even Rome think twice, they built a wall not to keep us in but to keep our raiding parties out! That they were probably what happened to the 9th, I don't think all of the 9th were killed, I think survivors chose to live with the Picts rather than go back and shamed for their failure....I feel great sadness at the loss of our Gods for a religion that was never our own.
Fortingall, or Mona that's a good place to begin
Not bad but the Scotii lived in Scotia today's Ireland as a tribe washed up on the shores of Hibernia it was the Romans that called them Scotti and named the country as Scotia today's Ulster.
learned about the salt too
Thanks sf ca☘️💕☘️💕☘️
That island they showed has to be the same one from The Northman

How did they discover that salt was a preservative? Seems an odd thing to do to put your meat in a load of salt and leave it there.
Various animals like salt. Someone saw an animal licking some salt. Decided to try it and liked it. It's always good to check on what other animals eat and do not eat. People were always pulverizing things so since it tasted good, they put it on various foods. One day, someone forgot about the leftovers, but for some reason, they had not spoiled yet. Tthat;s my personal theory.
Ancient Egyptian used it in mummification. So I guess it was commonly known?

Really fascinating information, but the videography made me dizzy.
Is it possible that only the Druids of what is now Britain were wiped out but their fellows in Central Europe and Ireland survived?
There were druids in Ireland and Pictland. Celts in Central Europe were overtaken by Germanic tribes.
Apparently a celt took some Greeks to Ireland and fought and the Irish made a truce that's were the fairy and elves originated as they were happy to live in the inner world
Kings and Countrymen
Why does he fade in and out so often while walking around? I really like his narrative but the fading bores me. And it's not needed to bring the history across, rather the opposite. Actually the entire pacing around amongst the buildings could be left out completely.
hail the celts

I wonder how many atheists there were back then? There must have been some, surely. People that just didn't believe in gods?
Probably not many, without modern science their Gods/Goddesses explained the world around them.
There were people in the ancient Greek and Roman intellectual circles who were, at best, ambivalent about the concept of gods and their powers so it's not unreasonable to assume there were ancient atheists. It's just not going to be something you talk about much in a highly superstitious society/culture
Damn y’all getting paid. Like four ads in 15 minutes.

Warning: If you clicked on this video expecting a documentary about Celtic religious beliefs, turn back now. This is an extremely superficial overview of Celtic culture, which only briefly mentions religion (they spend about 60 seconds total on religion and give no detailed information in that time). If you want to learn just a little bit about Celtic history and culture, and you're able to put up with annoying, overly flashy editing, then this is for you. "Lost Gods"? More like "Old White Guy Talks About Cultural Development and Architecture". The most they do is describe burial practices and name a few gods.
Agreed, a very Christianized overview of things with very limited understanding.
do people still worship the celtic gods today ?
Yes
Absolutely.
who or what are the furbalok?
i think it's spelled closer to Fir Bolg (sp?). they were the dominant people group of Ireland for a while, I think just before the Tuatha de Dannan
All of 60 seconds of this was actually about the druids.
Nice 39 ads
This is just a butane lighter! Rip off!
Research Hebrew Cosmology because it's true.
This is not very good.
kratos solos
Boring...
Full of holes, propaganda and Roman Christian nonsense
DNA clarified, Now we know the Irish, Welsh, and some of the Scotts, were Basque, the Scott-Pics were Scythians, one of the Tribes of Israel. The Dannites also made up a the early Irish. I feel they may have been Basque to begin with.
Celts, not certain just who they were, but they must have influenced the region.
My DNA (Country Kerry Lineage) supports the Basque + Rh(-), Askanazy Jew, Blonde, Olive Green eyes, (German cause Mom had to go and marry one that was only half Irish) the gene pool + my Husband's certainly gave me a son tall and gorgeous, his Dad an O(-) was absolutely the most gorgeous man I ever saw, on and off screen, like a sculpture. Blonde hair, Blue eyes but has that Basque look.
DNA is so interesting.
The Basque History says "We are from Atlantica, and I absolutely believe it, there just is that Rh(-) factor, *"We're the Other White Folks"* 😉😁
This is utterly stupid.
if you're counting blood droplets that hard, you're def The Same White Folks
