Are you going to provide a shred of evidence that celts were romanticized or are you just relying on the board's resident mentally ill haplojeets to back you up

Correct

noble savage myths have always been pervasive

>>17446697
what even is unique about the Celtic mythicism that couldn't already be attributed to the ancient greeks/romans, germanics, or middle ages in general?

>>17446697
The closest thing I can think of regarding any kind of romanticism of such groups was that one statue of a dying Gaul or whatever.
Anyway, they're romanticized because they're white, despite the fact they were pillagers and rapists unfortunately. All the evidence points to this unfortunate reality and the celtic peoples were historically notoriously backwards. Tolkien needed to create a mythology for his peoples background to hide that shame.

>>17447770
>>17446697
Tolkien did not like Celtic mythology, retards.

Also, I doubt what the Romans had to say on the Celts was entirely true.

I think Iolo Morganwg has a lot to blame. Celtic culture was rejuvenated, given fun colour schemes, festivals and rituals that don't really have any root in original Celt culture. I thank the lord every day that I narrowly escaped being named after the man.

Celtic people are self-obsessed

Scotch-irish are the most annoying people on the planet, with the sole exception of jeets.

Everyone in Western Europe is descended from them, little is known about them, perfect prelapsarian LARP ingredients to project whatever you want onto.
I find Celt LARP retardation is stronger outside of Ireland and Wales that take it as more normal grounded medieval history. Nowhere is it stronger than North America, but it’s also very strong in France, England and Scotland.

I don't think you understand just how violent and insane the celts were. The romans themselves regarded them as barbarians!

celts have nothing to do with stonehenge

>>17448292
They do but in the same sense Italians have anything to do with the colosseum

>>17448297
Fantastically bad analogy. Abandoning it to decay for several centuries is not the same as coming from overseas and having no idea what it was and who built it.

>>17448434
But they (Britons) built it, they just forgot.

They were massively misunderstood by historians for centuries, and remain massively misunderstood by the wider public to this day.

Just look at your image.
>Divining by way of runestones (Celts actually divined by observing natural phenomena, and in rare cases by disemboweling a slave and observing the movements of his entrails)
>Bare feet, naked women (Celts were actually known for their vanity, for their love of intricate colorful clothes and elaborate jewelry)
>Stonehenge (Celts didn't build the stone circles of Britain, and never used existing ones either; their places of worship were groves and sanctuaries, not stone circles)

>>17448445
The Celts in Britain were the descendants of the Bell Beaker people, who genetically replaced the builders of Stonehenge.

>>17448533
The Celts barely made a dent in the gene pool of Britain though

Interesting facts
1. It was unknown until the 18th century that Gaels or Britons were Celtic
2. It was unknown until the 18th century that Gaels or Britons were related

>>17448536
That is relative to the post-Neolithic population. That is:

1. There were hunter-gatherers in Britain (population 1).
2. The hunter-gatherers were replaced by farmers migrating in from continental Europe (population 2). These people built Stonehenge and other stone monuments.
3. The farmers were replaced by Bell Beaker people in the early Bronze Age (population 3).
4. The Bell Beaker people were added to by small amounts of continental Celtic migrants (population 4).
5. The Romans had practically no effect on the genetic makeup of the British Isles.
6. The Anglo-Saxons (population 5) almost entirely replaced the male lines of population 3-4 in eastern and southeastern England, though less so further west.
7. The Danes (population 6) had a small effect on the overall male lines in Britain, though in some places (Orkney, the Hebrides, York, Northumbria, et cetera) this effect was locally significant.

Anyway, to put it simply, Stonehenge was built by population 2, while the Celts were mostly population 3 and some population 4 (but no relation to population 2).

Celts went barefoot well into the XXth century
You can even find references to them going barefoot in Shakespeare

>>17446697
IIRC, it began with the Romans coping with the fact that a Gaulish tribe sacked Rome. It’s easier to accept that you got your ass fucked if you say to yourself that the guy who did it was a badass savage who anyone would have lost to.

>>17446697
The Celts are the direct ancestors of some of the most powerful nations of the world : France, Germany, England.

That's why.

>Anyone with brown eyes is apart of “our” group
Imagine getting so buckbroken you have to larp as extinct upper Paleolithic tribes to get one over on “Whites”.
Also this is done alongside the
>Whites didn’t exist, these people had brown eyes and brown skin

Yes. PreWhite humanity saw violent subhumans attacking violent subhumans. From this Whites evolved and ascended. You remain a violent subhuman who couldn’t compete physically with Whites so you speak our language and now because you can not compete sexually you try to insult the honor of Whites while simultaneously hoping your kids are Whiter than you.

>>17446697
>They’re also often a common basis in the fantasy genre, at least the Tolkienesque stuff. Whenever I think of Welsh, I think of dragons and knights, and when I think of Gaelic, I think of mermaids and fairies.

Because they're pretty much the only non-Roman/Greek European cultures that wrote down their own pre-Christian sagas and myths in their own languages without adapting them in a Christian lense. Germanic myths are basically all reconstructed or written by Christians in a way amenable to Christianity (ragnarok is literally a Christian concept of apocalypse which does not exist in indigenous IE mythology) and we know nothing about their origin myths compared to the Welsh and Irish. Nothing is known about Slavic or Baltic religion or belief from before the modern period or what survived in peasant folk belief.

The volume of Old Irish mythological texts written in the language, at a very early period (500-900AD) and set in the pre-Christian historical era is staggering compared to any other Iron Age/Medieval vernacular language. Myths and sagas from other European cultures were either repressed with Christianity or destroyed (eg only one manuscript of Beowulf survived Henry VIII's destruction of the monasteries). In Ireland specifically Latin never replaced Old Irish as the elite/prestige language so people saw no need to write texts only in Latin and to only copy existing Latin manuscripts. They also didn't see themselves as heirs to Rome and so they didn't feel the need to LARP as Greco-Romans and only reproduce Roman and Greek literature like the French, Germans, Spaniards etc did.

>>17449502
Imagine living in a country literally called "GERMANY" and caring about the Celts. Most people are actually totally unaware of their Celtic origin.

Saint Columba spoke in Latin to people in Scotland

Is that why the Christian-pagan dialect focuses on Germanic paganism (the controlled opposition?) to keep them on the reservation?

Because the irish, despite converting to christianity before the anglo saxons and doing it pretty much wholeheartedly without any resistance, and despite cutting down their forests in the bronze age love LARPing as native american hippies who were christianised by the evil english
the biggest LARP in history

I fail to see the issue?

Perhaps for similar reasons that people romanticize Native Americans, Māori, and other groups.

Part of the reason is they were everywhere.
Their priest class was also intentionally secretive.
They didn't write much down.
So they were known as like the magicians by others.

>>17450148
Yeah they were like the European zoroastrians almost.

>>17449908
>cutting down their forests in the bronze age
Uh no

>>17446697
if people read their folklore they'd be romantized even more

>>17450022
England, France, and Spain should be on there too.

>>17450318
iirc, they have a requirement to keep a gaelic-like language, which spain doesn't have for example

not saying it is, but it is commonly invited to pan-celtic gatherings

I just want England, France, and Spain to allowed into the Celtic "club" to spite the Scots, Welsh, and Irish.

It shouldn’t be, at this point they’re convincing the rest of Spain that Galician is a Celtic language and giving them the idea that Irish is some dialect of Portuguese.
