Celtic History
The Celts dressed in brightly colored
clothing and had very pale skin tone. The men in higher rank had
longer, thicker mustaches than the ones with lower rank. The leaders
of the tribe, were usually picked by the Druids. The Druids were
the Celtic priesthood. In the Celtic society
the women were equal to the men. They fought alongside of the men
in battle. The women were skilled in fighting and leading wars same
as the men.
About 600 B.C. the Celtic people
had an alphabet, called the Ogham (owam). The Ogham was sacred and
was most likely used for special recordings. The Druids used the
greek alphabet for ordinary messages. The Christians church forcibly
made the Druids change from using the Ogham and made them use the Latin
alphabet. |
