Ancient Celtic Civilization

Ancient Celtic civilization emerged around 700 BCE in Europe, particularly in areas that are today Ireland, Britain, France, and parts of Central Europe. The Celts were known for their distinctive art, intricate metalwork, and warrior culture. They spoke Celtic languages and practiced polytheistic religions, worshiping nature and various deities. Their society was tribal and often divided into clans, with a strong oral tradition for storytelling and history. The Celts influenced European culture significantly, and their legacy persists in modern languages, folklore, and customs. They faced declines due to conflicts with the Roman Empire and other groups but left a lasting impact on European heritage.
