The study of this Celtic past has often been a disputed and debated territory and for centuries the true story of these Celtic-speakers of old was obscured by fanciful origin myths. Their origins and subsequent history were slowly revealed when linguistic studies and archaeological discoveries in the nineteenth century began to expose a rich and complex narrative that is still being clarified today. A series of dramatic finds in France and Germany in particular have brought these ancient peoples to scholarly and popular attention. This was a prehistoric world that offered an intricate picture of connectivity and diversity across much of Europe. These were people who have bequeathed us a remarkable archaeological heritage, an astonishing art style, several living languages, and, in Irish and Welsh, the most substantial body of early written texts in a non-Latin tongue in western Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Four Courts Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47568628809879,"sku":"9781801512008","price":3097.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781801512008.webp?v=1774869740","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-celtic-world-a-history-9781801512008","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
