Welcome to Hidden Histories. In this series, we take a closer look at the world around us and explore the hidden depths of our shared history.

Today, you join me on a hunt for 'The Celts... Are YOU a Celt? What is a Celt? Did 'The Celts' EVEN Exist?

Note: The word 'Celt' originates in Greek. 'Keltoi' referred to none Greeks north of the Greek world.

Note.2: Some people seem to be under the deeply misguided impression that I am claiming that the Iron Age in Britain didn't happen - Obviously that's not the case!
