WHO WERE THE CELTS?
The Celts existed around
800BC to 400AD and
were one of the first
people in Europe. They
inhabited land from
Britain to Turkey.They
spoke lots of different
languages, they spoke
Gaulish, Lepontic,
Gaelic, Brythonic and
lots more.
Celtic empire
The celts first lived in
northern france. Over
time they spread out
and conquered all of
France, Belgium,
Germany, Spain and
Italy. In 52BC the
Romans pushed the
Celts out of Europe and
into Britain and Ireland.
Celtic homes
Celts lived in crannógs, hill
forts or ring forts. Hill forts
were built on hills and
three metre high walls
were built around them.
The benefit of living in a hill
fort was you could see
your enemy if they were
coming to attack. Crannógs
were built in the centre of a
lake. They had no windows
and no chimney. They were
made of stone or wood
and mud and the roof was
made of straw or reeds.
Celtic weapons
The celts were the first to
discover how to use
iron so they had the
best weapons. They
had hammers, axes
swords, spears and
shields. They were all
made out of iron so
enemies found it hard
to fight against them.
They were skilled
fighters.
Celtic foods
The Celts ate bread,
porridge, beef, berries,
meat they caught from
hunting and milk and
butter. They got beef,
milk and butter from
their cows. They found
berries on bushes. They
grew the wheat, barley
and oats to make the
bread and porridge.
CELTIC BREAD
Celtic clothes
The Celts made their
clothes out of linen
or wool. They
coloured their
clothes by squishing
berries and then
they put the clothes
into the juices to dye
the cloth.
Celtic beliefs
The celts had lots of
beliefs and different
gods for different
things. They believed
that the serpant was
wisdom, the hare was
good fortune and the
dragon was a gaurdian
spirit. Their gods played
a very big part in their
daily routines.
Cernunnos was one of
the celtic gods. He was
the god of fertility, life,
animals, wealth and the
underworld.
My thoughts
I think the celts sound a lot like us in many
ways because they liked sport and religion
and I read that most of them had blonde
hair and blue eyes like us.
