Celtic Ancient Origins

by Martin J. Dougherty Author and Ralph Haeussler Foreword

Explore the origins and history of the Celts, a powerful and enigmatic culture that flourished during the time of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. While many associate Celtic heritage with Ireland, Scotland, and other regions, the book reveals that the Celtic people originated in Austria, with their influence extending as far as ancient Greece and Egypt. It covers the migrations, societies, and allegiances of various Celtic tribes, shedding light on their myths, literature, and iconic figures like Arthurian legends, gods, warriors, and magical beings. From the Hallstatt Era around 1200 BCE to the eventual Christianization of the Celts, this work highlights the cultural and historical roots that shaped Celtic civilization and its lasting impact on modern mythology and fiction.
