The Celts are an ancient civilization which consisted of the Indo-European group, which is related to the Greeks, the Germanic people, certain italic group and peoples of the Indian sub-continent. This civilization originated from central Europe at the beginning of the first millennium B.C. and their main occupation was horse rearing and the use of iron was at large because of its availability in abundance.
They started spreading across rapidly and by the end of the 1st millennium B.C. their cultural group had already spread up and down the Danube and Rhine, also covering Gaul, Ireland and Britain, across central Europe into northern Italy and northern Spain.

the Greek sanctuary at Delphi was sacked by another Celtic tribe which later on got in to the Celtic kingdom in Asia minor, Galatia. The Celtic people were apparently fierce warriors.
The archeologists have defined the type of Celts according to the sites i.e. Hallstat (Austria) and La Tene (Switzerland), in which the former is taken to study their earlier phase of cultural development. The excavation of Hallstat had started from 1876 onwards by the viennese academy of sciences and it was then that they came up with the first classification to be provided for the pre-historic Celts.
In 1958, when the water level of Lake Neuchatel in Switzerland sunk to a low level, it revealed a large pre-historic settlement with a huge number of artifacts which survived throughout a long period of time. The second phase of Celtic cultural development was found in the nearby town of La Tene. All of these phases are according to their geographical area and they overlap through time.
According to the linguistic scholars the Celtic people are divided into the Goidelic and Brythonic branches, where the heard c – sound of the Goidels (e.g. the Irish or Scottish “cenn”, head) becomes a softer p – sound in the Brythonic (Welsh or Cornish “Penn”, …show more content…
