Northern Portugal is a Celtic Nation. Sadly our government and most people don't acknowledge it! But I do, and I will keep the memory of our ancestors alive! The evidence is everywhere: In the architecture, the myths and legends, the music and in DNA. Greetings from Celtic Northern Portugal
This made my day and I’m originally not far from there it’s incredible how much we miss things when we don’t pay attention to what we have around us awsome
What a place and still so intact. where was this? I live in central Portugal, just across the road from my farm is a Roman fonte and an intact Roman road which still gets used today. In our village we have a traditional drummers club and they have a penny whistle and a small set of bagpipes ... i believe this is carried on from those times.
Very nice video, we love our celtic castros in North Portugal. One correction, you said "Neolithic ruins, from Celtic times", which is completely wrong :) The Neolithic was before copper age, Celts are from Bronze and Iron age.
The castro is from early bronze age, meaning it only started to be a castro, or like a city in the bronze age, but the hill has been inhabited since the early neolithic, and many of the stuff found there are from the neolithic, in this same village there is another castro, wich has some rock carvings and a sacrificial altar from the neolithic, basically it was a village in the neolithic and would become a fortified city in the bronze age
I have a great memory and I believe you are visiting your family old house, I remember your multi great grand father, about 2.800 years ago? He was a rebel and he liked to play Rock N Roll with us, we cutted a Roman head and made it roll in the rocks,...ohh good times, later came the Romans with all modern Pop civilized songs, yackhhh, but we have to recognize that they made good roads, in the year 0, we were already connected to Rome by road, one could arrive Rome in less than 3 months, those were the speeding times, now is just boring bites and megabites...!
This is in North Portugal, in Minho, Guimarães ( near Braga), more precisely Briteiros. www.google.com/maps/place/Salvador+de+Briteiros/@41.5231961,-8.396259,12z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0xd24fb415b47d67b:0x1c27220bb77e3829!8m2!3d41.523198!4d-8.326221
@@josemmnovais Thank you, will definitely visit next time I'm in Portugal. More than any other culture I've visited, I feel the similarities between northern Portugal and my own (Highlands of Scotland)
@@ryangow4881 I am from Northern Portugal and we are realy different from the south, but how you feel similarities between Northern Portugal and Ireland? I always wanted to go there, does the geography look alike?
that belongs to Hallstatt Celts, and illyrian tribes that mixed and migrated to Portugal , middle bronze age and the DNA of that tribes still present in us in big percentage , my dna matches most of that people from Austria Hungary illiricum , Switzerland liguria and south France
No, its from the Bracara tribe, local tribe, this would be their biggest village, it was later invaded by the romans, who later founded a city nearby and named it Bracara Augusta (modern day Braga) after this tribe and the emperor augustus
Btw, celts are not a people or ethnicity, its a type of culture, most celts from diferent countries werent related at all, it just the romans classified them has havin celtic culture, and the first records of celt culture was the ophi people from Ophiussa, modern day Portugal, this people worshipped snakes, and were the first to make like those celtic patterns, this was documented by the ancient greeks in Ora Marítima, wich is the first documented Celtic like culture
@@EduardoAlves-ob3jt The Ophi were Minoan settlers and they never expanded past Greater Lisbon, bigggest mistake people make is assuming Portuguese people come from the Indo-European settler stock exclusively when the descendents of the people who painted Foz-Coa are still around and kicking with their unique 30k year old genetic markers exclusive to the Portuguese people. Celtic was not how the people who SHARED that unifying culture called themselves that was a GREEK name that mean foreigner just like Barbarian" in Latin, they knew eaaxh other by their triibes names bbut were unified by religion and cullture until the Romans pissed in the Europe's mouth. The Ophi were actually not only NOT even endemic, they were in fact at WAR with the locals, the Oestremni, and it's the arrival of the Indo-Europeans and their horses that tips the scale towards the Oestremni, who ally with these new people and end up forming what we now know as Lusitani people. If the OP is Hungarian it's because he descends from Atilla, who cares. Cumans aren't Portuguese and they never even made it here in significant numbers.
