The Celts!

Pubblicato da Unknown alle 04:42 0 commenti
From around 750 BC to 12 BC, the Celts were the most powerful people in central and northern Europe.
People said that they were tall, with muscles, with their hair blond and they had moustaches that covered their mouth.

The Celts believed in many gods and goddesses, in fact they were over 400.
Many gods had no names and they lived in springs or woods.
The Celts believed that the human soul lived inside the head, so when people died, they cut off their heads and worshipped the skulls.

They believed also that the human soul had an afterlife, so when a person died they were buried with many things. Warriors were often buried with a helmet or a sword.


The Celts lived in scattered villages. The walls of their houses were made from local material and the houses had no windows, but there was a hole in the roof for escaping the smoke.
