3. That’s better.

5. The Celts were a proud and honorable people. They were also very clean. The Celts are credited with the invention of soap! (not a real celt) (celtic soap)

6. They were fierce warriors. But they never founded an empire. They never built cities. They lived in small farming communities. (it’s a scale model) (the house, not the girl)

7. They loved music. And they loved to make up stories, especially stories about the little people - fairies, elves, leprechauns. Their culture lives on today in music, story, and song.

8. The peoples known as the Celts are thought to have originated in central Europe, to the east of the Rhine in the areas now part of southern Germany, Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Hungary

9. Celtic society was divided into three groups: a warrior aristocracy, an intellectual class (that included druids, poets, and jurists) and everyone else WarriorDruid Someone else (Panoramix)

10. They made agriculture and grazing important industries: They were efficient farmers, producing a cereal surplus. Over the years, Cletic culture advanced as the tribes became expert in working tin, bronze, and iron. The economy was determined according to the geographical landscape: highlands (sheep and wood, mine activity) or lowlands (farming).

11. The Celts believed that demons and spirits were everywhere. They counted on their priests, the druids, to keep them safe from trouble. The druids were responsible for all religious rituals, because the only person who could talk to a god was a druid.

12. The ancient Celts believed in an Otherworld. The Otherworld was the home of many gods and goddess. It was a place of joy, where feasts were always happening. The Otherworld was NOT a heaven. It was NOT a reward for doing something good on earth. The Celts believed that everyone entered the Otherworld when they died.

13. If you were facing an army of Celtic warriors, you would see a seemingly endless field of tall, screaming scary looking god-like creatures with lime spiked hair glowing brightly in the sun, and severed heads hanging from their belts and wagons.

14. When the Roman army arrived, the Celts did not band together to fight them. The well organized Roman army found them easy prey. The Romans did not wipe out the Celts. But they did rule the Celts for many years.

15. That’s all.
