The Celts
Celts lived in the Iron Age around 750 years before Jesus, in central and northern Europe. There were many groups of Celts, speaking a vaguely common language. The world "Celts" comes from the Greek world Keltoi, that means barbarians, but it is pronunced the Kelt. The period of time in Britain before the Roman period is konw as the Iron Age. The name Iron Age comes from a discovery of a new metal. The Celts found how to make iron tools. Celts were very superstitious. They belived in many God and Goddesses. They belived also that the human soul lived inside the head. The Roman historians say that the Celts cut off the heads of their ancestors. They nailed the heads over the doors of their huts. They don't have shops to buy food so they eat the food that they grow or hunt.
