Celts vs Germanic Tribes: Origins & Earliest Sources

When you are a history nerd all of them are cool. Roman, Spartan, Illyrians, Goth, Scythians and Sarmatians, Dacian, Gauls, Celtic, Norse etc. They all have cool stories and interesting cultures to read about and be amazed of the kind of life someone from that era lived.

If anyone's brutally obsessed with Celto-Germanic history and especially warfare I invariably recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series. By far the best military historical expertise available on the subject

The celts have always had my respect, as a Greek I view them as ancient cousins of Europe. It’s a shame that their cultural identity was wiped out from most of mainland Europe, and I hope that the Welsh, Scots, Irish, Brittons, and people of Cornwall, preserve their cultures and languages as best they can, so that one day, hopefully they are revived

You knocked it out the park covering Celts and Germanic peoples. Please keep then coming 10/10 👏🏻

Being of 99% Germanic and Celtic ancestry I really appreciate learning about the similarities between the cultures. Can't wait for the next video!

Both groups had some fascinating similarities. Beautiful groups that we Still need! Keep Ancestry ALIVE! 🔥💯

Way to go brother; so many souls of European descendants feel and long for Celtic times.. it’s like this depth in the Heart-Vortex that knows I lived as a Celtic warrior before, and long for that period on Earth again. Before outsiders and usurpers came to the North, I sense life was more meaningful and whole to our people. Now ignorance is bliss, artificial over natural, people seek path of least resistance rather a life of challenge and fulfillment. Another banger, keeep it up brother

I recommend listening to Dan Carlin's hardcore history podcast episode "The Celtic Holocaust" it's very interesting. No one does podcasts like him. The Celtic genocide occurred from 58 to 51 BC during Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars. It's a shame that Vercingetorix even though he united the tribes, he lost the revolt against Caesar. He's a hero for sure.

As an adopted bastard, I was told that my father was Irish, but I hired a researcher and genetic DNA. I am very German/ic, both my Y-DNA and MtDNA and 70 percent of my autosomal/overall. MY biological mother is mostly German and a little Swedish from the Midwest. My father is directly German, but 1/2 Scottish. In short, I love this frigin' channel. I was raised in a German-American neighborhood, which I am grateful for. I know the cultural differences in Germany: i.e. Bavarian & Black Forrest stereotypes, Westphalia spoke Dutch, etc., as well as the foods and culture. What a blessing to have grown up with my culture. Peace

Fantastic video! Thanks for this. I'm really looking forward to more about the Celts.

Thank you, sir. I have Norwegian, Dutch, Anglo-Saxon, German and Italian ancestry, though I have only recently come to learn of the latter 4 parts of my heritage. Nonetheless, I am always fascinated in learning the origins of my ancestors.

Super fascinating topic and video! I’ll be on the lookout for the rest of the series

The Celtic language, Breton, is still spoken in Brittany in the French state ... despite the best efforts of the French and Jacobin to suffocate the language. Breton is a sister language of Welsh (my language) and Cornish, not as close as Dutch and German, maybe more like French and Spanish. The grammar is similar - like all Celtic languages they have mutations where the first letter of a word can mutate to another sound e.g. c => g; b => f/v etc. And many many words are similar or the same, e.e. bara (bread), byd / bed (world), bro (country), numbering etc etc. There's a strong Latin influence on the Welsh language as Brythonic (ancient Welsh/Cornish/Breton) was the language of the whole of Britain south of Edinburgh, at the time of the Roman conquest. So, over 400 years of Roman occupation many Latin words seeped into the Welsh language e.g. braich (for arm), pont (bridge), ffenestr (window), llaeth (milk) etc.

The "plumage" that Roman officers wore on their helmets was also adopted from the Celts, or so is the opinion that is held by certain romanologists. It made the leadership easier to be recognized in battle.

So glad I found this video. Love your passion for this. Made it even that more interesting~! Thank you!

I fully enjoy watching your videos! I've been following your channel since the beginning and every time you make a video I have really enjoyed it and all of your hard work of research in authenticity.😊❤

I’m happy I came across you. Passionate and well informed. Much love from a ginger Irish celt!

Never too old to learn something new.....well done

excellent presentation. Making sure my many grandchildren see this.

Possibly my favorite video you've done to date.
