Galicia on the north-western corner of the Iberian Peninsula has a fascinating history which has many Celtic connections. Galicia and the Iberian Peninsula in general is often cited in origin stories as the region where Celtic tribes sailed from to settle in Ireland and the British Isles.
The name of the region comes from the Romans, who referred to the Celtic tribes of the Iberian north-west as the Callaeci. Over time, Callaeci became Gallaeci. Various tribes made up the Gallaeci, including the Coelerni and the Bracari. The people of Gallaeci spoke the Gallaecian language, also known as Northwestern Hispano-Celtic, a now extinct continental Celtic language.
A defining feature of this Celtic civilization was the fact that they lived in hillforts, resulting in them often being referred to as the “culture of hillforts” or the Castro culture. Today, Galicia is still home to more than two thousand hillforts.
Gallaecians identified themselves by their hillfort, and the king of their area. In relation to their religion, we know that the Gallaeci worshipped numerous Celtic gods, including Coventina, the goddess of wells and springs, who was also known as the goddess of abundance and fertility; Nabia, the goddess of waters and rivers, with the river Navia in Galicia still bearing her name; and Lugus, the god of prosperity, trade, and craft occupations, who was often depicted as having three heads.
During the Second Punic War between Carthage and Rome from 218 to 210 BC, we know that some Gallaecian troops fought alongside the Carthaginian General, Hannibal. The various Celtic tribes of the Gallaeci ruled this corner of the Iberian Peninsula for centuries, until the Roman conquest of Iberia in the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st centuries BC. As well as being interested in commanding a large sphere of influence, Rome also was interested in the lucrative gold mines of Galicia, although I will address the Roman conquest of Iberia in more detail in a future video.
In the 5th and 6th centuries, there was another Celtic infusion into Galicia. As the Anglo-Saxons settled Briton, many Celtic Britons fled to Galicia, as well as to what would become Brittany in France. This settlement in Galicia was known as Britonia. It is thought that these Britons practiced a strong Christian faith.
It is curious that the common Brittonic Celtic language of these Britons did not seem to take hold in Galicia, yet it did take hold in nearby Brittany in France, which is why the Celtic language of Breton is still spoken in Brittany today. Perhaps these migrants from Briton were better assimilated into the Galician culture of the time than their fellow migrants in Brittany, with Galicia controlled by the Germanic tribe of the Suebi.
Celtic influence is still present in Galicia today however, particularly musically. A traditional instrument in Galicia is called the gaita, a type of bagpipe.
The two main languages spoken in Galicia today are Galician (or Galego) and Spanish. Galician is an Indo-European language of the Western Ibero-Romance branch, and it is spoken by more than 2 million people, mainly in Galicia.

They wore tartan kilts just like the Irish kings. They lived in round houses just like the Irish and Brits. They had a q Celtic language like the Irish. They had the same kingly gold throne caps like those found in the bog of Cullen in tiperarry. They had the same bronze halberds weapons like the Irish. There's plenty more than just that . I'm writing a book on the Irish Spanish origins at the moment.even their tribes are called Tudo like the Irish Tuatha.

Galicia had a Celtic population during the Bronze Age until the Romans, but they should not be confused with the culture of the forts, small fortified citadels. Galician is not a Celtic language in the first place because it is a Romance language, derived from Latin and secondly because the Celts disappeared before the Romans arrived and they did not know how to write, neither here, nor in Ireland, nor in Scotland nor in Wales. Celtic was a Germanic tribe from southern Germany and as a culture they are all the peoples who lived near the Atlantic in Europe until the Iron Age with some similar customs, certainly not meritorious, including Icelanders. Therefore there is nothing Celtic left in Galicia, nothing, nor is it the cradle of the Irish. All of these are myths invented by nationalism during Romanticism. Gauls have passed since then, hence the name Kalekos in Greek, Gallaecia in Latin. Swabians, Visigoths, 50 years partly of Arabs (racial mixing was prohibited) Visigoths again, East Germanic people who are the Spanish genetic base.

My whole life I've been taught to hate the white man as a hispanic however when I did my DNA testing I found a decent amount of Irish and Scottish DNA. Along with the very large 27% Spanish and 8%Portuguese and 59% native Mexican. Now that I find out all of this history from Spain and all the things that happened there with the ancestors of the Irish and Celtics in general it all makes sense its so amazing the world must've been so crazy back then. I would KILL to hear them speak.

@mannyrodriguez5453 Год назад

You were taught to hate the white man, do to that you are more Mexican, in my case, I was born in Cuba, to all Spanish blood line, Galicians and Basque's. My great grands which were Galicians and Basque migrated to Cuba, and in Cuba, it was a custom to keep marrying your own people, it was more like a Tabu if you didn't. The difference between Cuba and the rest of the American continent be it North, Central and South America was that the Spaniards wiped out 98% or more of the natives. Cuba today is a whole different country, not even close to what it once was, within the last 63 years of communist strong hold, the Castro's destroyed Cuba, culturally, physically and economically, Cuba is not a speck of what it once was.

We are the descendants of King Fénius Farsaid, one of the seventy-two heroes who built the Tower of Nimrod (Tower of Babel). The Irish language was born when his grandfather Goidel Glas took it as one of the seventy-two languages into which the world was divided with the fall of the tower. He joins Scota, daughter of the Pharaoh of Egypt and, as in the times of Moses, they begin an exodus of four hundred and forty-four years, at the end of which they arrive in Galicia. One of his descendants, Breogán, founded the city of Brigantia there and built a tower there from which his son Ith could see Ireland. The Brigantia of the Irish legend, located in the Iberian Peninsula, would be identified with La Coruña or Betanzos, so that the Tower of Breogán would be none other than the Tower of Hercules. Not only that, but the current king of England is crowned on the stone of destiny, which is one of our relics and was sent from Brigancia to Ireland to crown one of the sons of Míl Espáine and later sent to Scotland (which It receives the name of the Pharaoh's daughter) and from there the English stole it (although they returned it and it is in a museum). The stone is the one that Neemrod climbed to give his speeches to the people. The English king needs our relic to validate his lineage.

According to the results of a study that has analyzed the DNA of 10,000 Britons, it suggests that the Celts who became the dominant tribe in the islands originated from the Iberian Peninsula. Bryan Sykes, a professor of human genetics at the University of Oxford, led the study and publishes his conclusions in the book "Blood of the Isles." His theory is that 6,000 years ago, these inhabitants of the peninsula developed boats capable of crossing the ocean and reached the British Isles. The territory was already inhabited, but these people were assimilated into a larger Celtic tribe.

Celtic languages existed in the whole Iberian peninsula and Galician and Portuguese do not have more Celtic remains than Spanish has. In fact, the main pre-Roman language in what is now Portugal was Lusitanian, which is considered not to be a Celtic language, and some believe Gallaecian was in fact related to Lusitanian too.

Asturias, Galicia and Cantabria are three regions of Spain that have strong Celtic influences even to this day. You can especially here it in the music. You listen to their folk music and, unless somebody tells you, you might think it comes from Scotland or Ireland. The pipes sound like something in between a Hulian and a bagpipes. And there’s lots of redheads. That Gene is so strong that it even crops up from time to time in their descendants in Latin America that are mixed with the native population. You sometimes get an olive or darker skinned child with a patch of fiery red hair right smack in the middle of his black or brown haired head. My grandfather had it and my son has it. At least, he did when he was a baby. It’s darkened to Brown now. His Scott’s Irish descended mother thought it came from her until I showed her pictures of some of my family. No redheads in her family but she naturally thought it came from her side at first because, well, she’s a white person and I am more of a bronzy sort of fellow. I look most unceltic. 😆

Celts were actually known to be darker haired and the red hair Irish thing is a Hollywood stereotype perpetuated by Lucky Charm boxes. Celts were known to be darker haired and shorter. They would bleach their hair in times of war to scare off their enemies or to blend in with fairer tribes.. Irish would even tell you brown or darker hair is very common. Just stop with this red hair thing which is probably from Viking and Norwegians. ..So many people mistakenly really believe Celtic means red headed or blonde when it's actually dark hair. Dark hair and very white skin is common among women who live among the European Atlantic including Ireland.

You cannot talk of the gallaeci and leave Northern Portugal blanked out from the maps. Gallaecia included both and the name comes from Northern Portugal Cale. Braga, which was shown in images and trough Nabia's temple, is in northern Portugal. It's one single ethnic region that just happened to split due to medieval scuffles between cousins. In fact, the largest hill forts known to this day are in northern Portugal. The total amount of hill forts between modern Galiza and Northern Portugal is believed to be around 5000. The sheer density of sites and the ridiculous amounts of jewelry, torcs, statues of warriors and all sort of stone work found within this are is absolutely unchallenged in Europe. The Castro Culture is criminally forgotten by European history. It was a fantastic civilization that can still be visited today in hundreds of sites. I had the pleasure to lead a group of Irish enthusiasts trough the site if Briteiros in Northern Portugal and then to the museum of the hill fort culture in the city of Guimarães and they were mesmerized by the dimension of the site and the findings in display.

One could say that Galicia historically has always been not a "single thing" but a varied mixture which shaped a unique creation. Yes, it has a solid original Proto-Celtic/Celtic base but such is not the only one and these ones evolved through time. Estimations indicate the galicians, the irish/welsh/scots/Bretons along others shared same pre roman migration flows and cultural racial/ethnic affinity but still a deep matter of debate. Pure ethnically celts there first mixed with Iberians & other local groups, then romanization arrived (which was inevitable) and it did brought improvements and civilization. Rome falls, and germanic tribes (Suebi/Visigoths and even exiled escaping peoples from the british isles from the norway/danes pre vikings, however these last ones seem to didn't leave much of a proof trace) establishing the opposite of what the romans did completely in both positive and negative ways for 200 years, yet they mostly conformed the nobility and privileged strata while the rest of population remained mostly post roman. Then The north african berber Amazhig group conquers the whole South managing to "pass by" Galicia but left rapidly by simple reasons (winter & mountains). The christian kingdom of Galicia is formed and finally absorbed by kingdom of Leon, awaiting later for Castille to oficially inaugurate Spain itself as a country during early 1500s. From here you got what it is Galicia today, the thing is the original celt language was lost and hasn't been spoken since middle age and most cultural tangible proof is still too scarce besides all already said. Nevertheless, it is UNIQUE and beautiful!

Also in portuguese, not in galician, they still use "an", the simbol ~ above "ão" means you should pronunce it as "an". So about "gaita" I'm very curious about how it sounds read in gaelic.

There are still Celtic words in 🇵🇹 we don't not even know what they coukd be. There's a town in NW 🇵🇹 called "Paredes de Coura", meaning "walls of Coura". Town is know for it's beautiful stone walls that go all around delineating plots of land, houses, etc. They are made of a river dark stone and are ancient, just like the same type of walls found all over the fields of 🇮🇪. Nobody knows what a "Coura" in Portuguese means, but the local accent in the area to this day opens the vowel sounds of any word quite wide, so much so that a "Cora" sounds like "Coura". It just so happens the word "Cora" in Gaelic is not just a woman's name, but also the name given to a type of stone used to build small river dikes! Well the river Coura has these rocks and runs alongside this village. It is easy to see understand why it was named so, and how the "Coura" pronunciation cud have ended up un the northern isles becoming "Cora"! Some people also thing the word "xaile" in Portuguese may have originated from "cailleach", and not from Persia. It means a head scarf still used by our older women of the countryside of Portugal, looking just as "Cailleach" is illustrated nowaday, head wrapped by a "xaile" to ward off the cold. Fascinating stuff

Regarding the Breton language in Brittany there is a THEORY that when the British immigrants arrived in Amorica they encountered the remnants of the Gauls who lived there. Speaking related languages and being cultural similar helped these peoples assimilate and not lose their Celtic identity. Brittany was originally isolated from much of France by huge dense forests which tended to help people living their keep a separate identity much the way the Scottish Highlands, the Welsh mountains and the Irish Sea helped protect the Celtic languages in the British Isles

@asturiasceltic3183 Год назад

Northwest Spaniards are celts. You need to get it out of your head that celtic means red haired and square features. Many Northwest Spaniards are from Celts near Bohemia/ Bavarrian border near Austria. People from Austria use to be known for longer heads. These people have an oval or longer head shape. Celts were known to be darker and shorter. Also what does looking like a Spaniard mean? Spain is regional and have different phenotypes according to the region. These people don't look like they are from Malaga like Antonio Banderas or Pedro Almodavar from Andulucia.

But those stories about celtic migrations etc. happened before Al-andalus existence, so mostly people in iberian peninsula looked very similar than the rest of europeans, even more when the germanic people invaded the falling roman empire and the ostrogoths settled in noth italy or visigoths in the iberian peninsula, because this continent is the origin of the white race (AFAIK) like in, f.e., china there are mostly ethnically chinese people, or in sub-saharan africa black people. In the past only white people in Europe and probably the only mix with "alien" dna happened when moors invaded the iberian peninsula and in the east (bulgaria, greece, romania) because invasions, or at least they try, of persians, ottomans etc. As a curiosity I'd say one of the goth people that settled in the iberian peninsula when the fallen of the western roman empire were the alans who pushed by the huns invaded the ex roman empire with the goths and after settling for a while in some areas of the iberian peninsula and in north africa, they finally return to the black sea area and today they live in north ossetia-alania (southern russia).

@pulsarplay5808 9 месяцев назад

The Celtic presence in many places in Europe has been mythologized to truly absurd limits. Galicia is one of those cases like quite a few others. The population of Celtic origin that arrived here was a culturally and metallurgically more advanced minority, which adopted an aristocratic role over a larger population that was previously in the territory. This pre-Celtic population was the one that built the megalithic monuments long before the arrival of the Celts and that over time they would end up merging into a single population, in the same way that centuries later would happen in exactly the same way and for the same reasons. with Romans, Suebi or Visigoths.Thinking that we are Celts is an idea as absurd as thinking that we are Romans or Swabians, because we are nothing and we are everything at the same time. Which is a nuance of difference that changes everything. Therefore, focusing on Celtic, trying to stick only with that origin, either because it seems very attractive to us or because it is fashionable and we buy music that is incorrectly called "Celtic" or because of an excessively romanticized idea of a past that we have idealized around the idea of Celtic, it doesn't make much sense and is also historically inaccurate.

@michaelhalsall5684 6 месяцев назад

Totally agree! I have met misguided people claim to be "Celtic" and therefore they can behave badly. I may be a pale skinned person who only speaks English but by having some vague Irish heritage I can get horribly drunk on St. Patrick's Day and shout pro-IRA slogans!

Most Spaniards have over 70% of R1b (mostly of it is actually R1b-z11) that stems from the original celts, this is also the subclade they share with most Western Europeans. Much like Suebi and goths, the moors didn’t leave a lot of admixture with the most being 10% on average (this is almost the same as the Suebi/gothic admixture that’s mostly concentrated on the northwest of the peninsula), this is due to the kingdoms of the north repopulating lands and expelling most of the moors. Also, Arabs didn’t stick around the peninsula long enough, the Berbers did though but they were mostly subsequently kicked out, and just like the goths and Suebi, were a minority. This is also apparent on how Iberians have the most ancient European dna than all of Spain. Don’t ever call Iberians Arabs ever again, you sound like a dumbo.
