"Explains who the Celts were, and what made their culture so distinctive. The mysteries of the Celts are made more complex by the absence of ancient Celtic written records. The Celts have been associated with Stonehenge and Callanish, but the cradle of the Celts was actually central Europe. They were peoples of strong religious beliefs who developed a complex social structure."
"The Celts are surrounded by an aura of romance and mysticism, and echoes of the past still resonate today. Many of the traditional feast dates of Western Civilization have their roots in the pagan Celtic past. There is also a prevailing uniqueness in the peoples of the Celtic nations and their descendants-their love of poetry, literature and music."
"Celtic culture was to spread to cover an area stretching from the Mediterranean to the North Sea. Soon after 400 B.C., Celtic tribes erupted over the Alps and attacked Rome and Delphi. The Celts were never to create an Empire, but they would come face to face with one - the Roman Empire. The decline of the Celts had begun."
