Theres no such thing as "celts" all these people incorrectly labelled as "celt" across Europe never had anything to do with each other.
They were different people with different cultures.
There was no great meet up at the "celt" thing.
Its a complete fantasy made up in the 19th century.
>What shared religion?
Gods recorded in Gauls found later in medieval and modern people who spoke Celtic languages
Druids >Also you pulled that out of your ass.
Yep. Gauls was not formed into a kingdom by Vercingetorix.
Druids never existed.
Celtic languages never existed.
It was all invented by time travelling people from the 19th century.

All made up hence "later" >Druids
never wrote anything down and were native to Briton before being wiped out then revived in the 19th century.
Riddle me this why is there no "celtic" creation myth. That is a root myth that connects all these people.
They have none. Thats because its invented culture and myth written later in the 19th century by a bunch of people that didn't consider it. So its not a naturally formed religion and culture, its synthetic.

Druids were indeed one of the Insular Celts few exports to the Continent (most of the time they imported cultural/social/linguistic trends from Iberia, Gaul, etc), but that doesn’t diminish the importance of the Druidic class in places like Gaul. The few Druids whose names were preserved and recorded for perpetuity were Gallic, and they were pivotal figures not just for their own people, but also in regards to foreign relations with outside powers, most famously Rome, but also the Greeks, and presumably the Carthaginians and Germanics as well.

The Celts were less of a cohesive ethnic/national group and more of a linguistic and cultural one, but they by no means “didn’t exist”. A consistent religious, social and artistic structure permeated Western Europe from the Bronze Age to the Late Iron Age, From Austria and Iberia on the continent and Britain and Ireland just off the coast. To say otherwise is fundamentally incorrect and explicitly contradicted by both historical and archaeological primary evidence

no, its factual and held by many experts they were invented.
Its kinda like if you see a whole lot of pottery and call it "corded ware" its hides the truth that there are different people under that heading.
Culture was exchanged by transmission, not because people were homogenous groups
To argue otherwise is fundamentally revisionism of history.

absolute bullshit and there were no celts in the balkans.
Keltoi was a word like Barbaroi as used by the Greeks, they referred to everyone north east as Keltoi, it was not an ethnonym.
Druid itself is a Germanic word, from True.

not until the 18th century. And linguists are often wrong in their groupings especially with extinct language.

No, wtf. By that logic Latin must not have existed? Languages that were written down are easy to track and study. Celtic absolutely existed, you are mentally moronic and arguing against academic consensus.

Actually most words in Europe especially "celtic" words are just mongrelised latin.
I mean Keltoi was a greek word. Then it was somehow applied by the Romans to Gauls.Then used as a made up people in the modern era. Despite no one calling themselves that ever

its true you ignorant idiot, take the earliest irish language source. Its covered in latin, because it came after latin was introduced to Ireland.
How can it be considered indigenous when its pig latin?
What about Wales, the names and words there are Roman latin Welshified. Only a tiny region in the north kept the native names.
The Irish have no ethnonym, they were loaned one by the Welsh.
And so on.

Druids didn't exist once Christianity arrived
They were pagan priests you utter idiot
Also well done ignoring the other irrefutable points >So its not a naturally formed religion and culture, its synthetic
No it isn't. It has continous documentation from the Roman times until the 1900s when it died out
most celt myth is just lifted from germanic myth probably Roman and Greek too.
This is where it gets really funny.
The guy that proposed this, that its simply copied germanic myth was a leading "celtic" historian.
He gets cited all the time by "celt" historians.
Back in sub-roman Britain, which was balkanized as frick, the Picts managed to create a Kingdom, big for the standards of the region.
We don't have much information about this kingdom, and it's existence is a anomaly, considering geography and how the rest of Britain was still very much divided. One can wonder if it even existed, or if the authority of it's king was much more than just nominal.
