CELTS, THE UNTOLD STORY

Beyond the songs and oral history

Synopsis

Most of what we think about the Celtic people – from their connection to Halloween to their supposed origins in the British Isles – is wrong.

This series uncovers the unknown history of the Celts, who left no written record but communicated their past through song and story, who came from central Europe and spread across the continent, and whose trade in salt made them the aristocrats of the ancient world.

Who were their Gods? What were their rituals and myths? Why did Celtic tribes fight each other? How did they form alliances? What were the greatest battles they fought?
