Boudica was Welsh. All hails to my Brittonic brethren.

Gorden Gekko was wrong. Greed is never good. There would have not been all those wars and revenge of he were right.
Barry Cunliffe has lots to say on Celtic origins. New theories, including new editions of some earlier works
Points dellered for the Druid Tree Alphabet. I love Robert Graves but some of his theories are highly, umm, personal
This was a good synopsis which could've been expanded into a series. The path from the ancient Celts of Europe to the Christian Celts of Ireland up to the modern day is an enormously long story and takes hours to cover.
If I'm remembering correctly, in the book How the Irish Saved Civilization, the author states that Patrick was a Coptic Christian, influenced by the commerce between Ireland and Egypt. It was not until the Roman Catholic bishops of England got ahold of him and essentially held him captive, that he finally swore allegiance to the Pope or at least to Roman Catholicism.
More interested in truly ancient celt history, and not how Christianity was brought to them by Patrick. Oh well, moving on.
I thought this was about Celtic mythology. 10 minutes in and all they've talked about is Patrick.
A few years ago I was reading some Irish mythology, but in my head, I kept seeing the story in Anime. Has anyone paired these 2 yet? OK maybe I was falling asleep, but they seemed to go together.
Driving the snakes out is a central tenet.
Why do they say here that it was how he ‘drove all the evil’ from Ireland?
Is that what you guys heard?
(41:39) "Efa" is very similar to how we say 'Eve' in Afrikaans.
Darack is also very similar to how we say dragon. 🙂
Nice to see there's life after the bill,the lady portraying Boudicca was Debbie Keane in the police drama
Are you seriously expecting a self-respecting Irish man to watch a documentary about our Ancient History made by Cromwell Productions ?
25:09 whenever I hear the stories of Julius Caesar vrs. Versingetorix I always cheer for Caesar. Okay, so France makes a guy who got himself totally surrounded and no choice but to surrender, their first national hero… This is just to funny…🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's funny that conversion of Celtic peoples is considered Ancient History by this title
What a load of male-centric misogynistic tripe. Anyone else notice that every contributor is a white male? And that every character mentioned is a white male? As usual, white men continue to eliminate the existence of women from human history. Never forget that every mammal is created female in the womb.
Cromwell 🙈 and and English man telling the story 😑
Cromwell productions ???
So much wrong and so much more to Irish history than this and rich stories that go way back before the Welsh Patrick
Seriously, Finn McCool? Nobody comments on McCool?
Very interesting, but that guy who describes the myths is so hard to understand. I barely understand a word.
Cú Chulainn was his name, not Chulainn. Cú Chulainn means "hound of Chulainn". If you don't add "Cú" you're literally just calling him Colin, or Chulainn.
I watch this every night to fall asleep i love it
None of these experts in Celtic mythology has a Celtic accent, they are either English or American sounding. Shouldn't an Irishman who can pronounce Cuchulainn properly have told that tale?
The ferocity of the Celts was both their strength and their weakness. That's still true, in my experience lol.
It's pronounced: Coo Cullen
Facts worth checking
There were no snakes in the island of Ireland like the island of Hawaii.
Versingetex was in prison for six years in Rome before he was killed.
