Archaeologists and prehistorians of high renown across Europe are gradually coming to the conclusion that the ancient Irish were NOT Celts. If you compare what are known as "La Tene" period finds in France, and across Europe, there are NONE in Ireland. In their earnestness to resurrect Irish national pride in the 18th and 19th centuries, many of the early historians and archaeologists rushed to delineate our "differntness" from the "Saxon". It seems we Irish have a discrete cultural heritage, and we shouldn't just lazily name it Celtic, as some kind of marketing tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
