#LegendaryWednesday: `Thanks to their innovative iron plows and various other inventions - like sealable underground pits to keep the corn fresh and a kind of manure made from dung and chalk/loam - the #Celts were able to achieve more successes in agriculture than any other people of the #IronAge. Not even the Roman plows of this period, which could only carve furrows into the soil, were comparable to those of the Celts.“ #Celtic

#LegendaryWednesday: `The #Celts were the first people to significantly change Europe’s landscape from the Atlantic coast all the way to the Black Sea, turning primeval forests into a cultivated landscape of fields, farmsteads, and settlements. This was in no small part due to their ability to process iron, which was used for a multitude of agricultural tools such as axes, scythes, and sickles, allowing them to work the land with ease.` #Celtic

#FindsFriday: `Three #Celtic cult districts with a total of two large and five smaller cult sites have been identified in Roseldorf/Sandberg, Lower Austria. This is an unusually large number of sanctuaries, which is why it must be assumed that Roseldorf was a cult centre of the #Celts far beyond the region.
The sanctuaries are all different in terms of their construction and cult activities. It would appear that all the sanctuaries existed at the same time, but were dedicated to different gods. It therefore stands to reason that different god cults took place in the sanctuaries. In addition to animal and human bones, weapons, chariot parts, horse bridles, jewellery and much more were deposited in the sacrificial pits of almost all the sanctuaries. However, there were great differences in the distribution of the types of offerings in the individual sanctuaries.`

#MythologyMonday: There`s a pre-Celtic cosmic tale in which the winter sun’s daughter is born as an old woman and grows younger through the winter, ending as a lovely maid, which was adopted by the arriving #Celts and melded to their own myth of the bestowal of sovereignty on the chosen king, who typically had to kiss or have intercourse with the #Cailleach in her hag form before she revealed herself as a splendid young woman.

According to Welsh mythology, when the giant British king Bran the Blessed was killed, his companions buried Bran's huge head where the Tower of London now stands. As long as it's there, Britain can't be invaded. However, some say King Arthur dug it up, s he didn't want anyone except himself to be Britain's guardian.
