The study of this Celtic past has often been a disputed and debated territory and for centuries the true story of these Celtic-speakers of old was obscured by fanciful origin myths. Their origins and subsequent history were slowly revealed when linguistic studies and archaeological discoveries in the nineteenth century began to expose a rich and complex narrative that is still being clarified today. A series of dramatic finds in France and Germany in particular have brought these ancient peoples to scholarly and popular attention. This was a prehistoric world that offered an intricate picture of connectivity and diversity across much of Europe. These were people who have bequeathed us a remarkable archaeological heritage, an astonishing art style, several living languages, and, in Irish and Welsh, the most substantial body of early written texts in a non-Latin tongue in western Europe.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0711288852\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-cel-widget=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"r3ejwp-72r0u6-7yf86s-l1um5n\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book is a historical exploration of how our understanding of the ancient Celts and the concept of a European-wide world inhabited by Celtic-speaking peoples developed over time.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0711288852\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-cel-widget=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"r3ejwp-72r0u6-7yf86s-l1um5n\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0711288852\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-cel-widget=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"r3ejwp-72r0u6-7yf86s-l1um5n\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/online.flippingbook.com\/view\/1071123635\/%20\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick HERE\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/b\u003efor a sneaky glimpse of the insides of this \u003cb\u003estunning new book.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0711288852\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-cel-widget=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"r3ejwp-72r0u6-7yf86s-l1um5n\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0711288852\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-cel-widget=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"r3ejwp-72r0u6-7yf86s-l1um5n\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/time-team\/view\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e to a special edition of the Time Team podcast, Helen Geake and Martyn Williams sit down with John Waddell, to discuss his new book. John helps to dispel myths and tells you things you never knew about their culture, language and lifestyle.
