[edit] Mithology!
Where do you get the legends that Celts are from Scythia? Only because all of northern and central Europe came through that way 1000s of years ago? Rakovsky
- According to the traditions of the Lebor Gabála Érenn (Book of the Taking of Ireland), the Irish originated in Scythia and were descendants of a King Feinius Farsaid, a King of Scythia. This Feinius Farsaid and his son, Nel, went into Asia to work on the Tower of Nimrod (Tower of Babel in biblical history) and were present at the subsequent dispersal of the races after the destruction of the tower. Feinius and his son, both learned in the new languages which resulted from the dispersal, returned to Scythia where Feinius opened a great school of languages on the Scythian plain. Jfreyre
- This article is one on legend. That's fine. But a page on legend should perhaps be seperate from one on historical and archaeological knowledge on Celtic-era Gallaecia. This article needs a good once-over clean-up, IMO. And perhaps it should be made more explicit that what is detailed is myth. D.E. Cottrell 17:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article is a mess!
This article is a mess! Is confuses Gallaecians with modern Galicians, doesn't cite sources, its full with POV and speculations, and has original research of dubious quality! And much more! Something should be done. The Ogre 16:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
No. in matter of facts the article doesn't have original research... and perhaps you can review the external sources or the mythical foundation of Ireland. Jfreyre
- It is interresting though.--Pedro 19:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Jfreyre, it maybe not just a myth. have you seen the news latelly. Over a human genetics study by Bryan Sykes of the University of Oxford? --Pedro 16:17, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

- No I didn't but I'll be glad if you can tell me more about that Research. Jfreyre
- Bryan Sykes says that the Irish and the British are not related with the Celtic tribes of Central Europe but rather with the Celtic tribes of the Iberian Peninsula. A fisher migration from the coasts of Iberia may had ocurred in 4000 B.C. or 5000 B.C. He will (or has recently) publish a book known as "Blood of the Isles" in the UK.--Pedro 22:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- No I didn't but I'll be glad if you can tell me more about that Research. Jfreyre
[edit] Gallaecian language
Guys... a new article about Gallaecian language should be started by someone who knows something about it! The Ogre 14:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Celtomania
This smells of Celtomania. --Error 00:35, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I dont understand what's so special about the Celts (apart from being ancient, which fascinates people, me at least), I'm fond on Ancient Romans, Ancient Greeks and Ancient Egyptians... those were civilized, great history and built stunning monuments. I guess it has to due with the British Isles; Celticity is national identity issue over there and in Galicia there's also a lot Celtic Galicia t-shirts :P BTW, in the Castro city over here (there's a pic of it in the article Cividade de Terroso) there are some symbols in the ground, which nobody understands what's for; archaeologists say it maybe has to do with magic/religion. Maybe that's it, unknown magic/religion. But a lot of info in the article maybe important to cross information. There's a new theory, based on studies, which states that most British Celts were originilly from Iberia. there is always something real behind these old myths. --Pedro 01:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
