Also flood is a common theme - the Inuits all have a flood story of their own. Could be a common thing in human nature to explain rain or snow.


Yes, the great cow who licked the ice encasing the giant Ymir, thus freeing him, I'd forgotten about that part.

Actually a lot of English christianity comes from Norse myth - the ruler of the underworld was called Hel, for example...

I don't remember anything about eating a heart from a dragon, and I've got a few books of norse legends in my library.

And I didn't know that the Gaelic people extended to Scandinavia.

the story of the dragon blood and heart is told in the isle of man a viking island
before the roman empire gealic tribes started in north spain though most of france along the north side of the alps and when far east has far has romana and north
there was all them diffrent tribes all fighting one another maybe why it was so easy for the romans to conquer southern europe britain being the last place they conquered and the first place they left, so when the pits,danes (vikings) anglos, jutes and saxons came back to britain they killed all romans that was left

Erm... not quite historically sound but you're on the right track.

Well the origin of the celts is constantly debated in historical scholarship, but its certainly not Iberia.

As for the later invading peoples they certainly didn't 'kill all romans that was left.' The Roman's had pretty much withdrawn by then, leaving 'romanised' Britons in many areas. Indeed, there were probably never that many romans to begin with, mostly military and administrative (unlike other European territories where more steady emigration was evident).

Weren't the gauls and francs of an indo-european descent, leaning more towards mesopotamia and mid-eurasia?

but a lot of scholarly opinion says 'yes' I'm afriad. This is a major theory supported by many, and it is pretty convincing. There is some evidence that the Celts were Circaesir from Circaesya, who lived on the 'Sea of Grass' in what is now Kazakhstan.

As for this:

black hair wrong colour skin where killed in britain when the roman troops left


It may have been the case in a few incidents but certainly not in general. Any sources whatsoever? Sounds a bit like you've been reading a 'Romans' kids history book type of thing.

Also, off topic, is English your first language southerner?

it seems why the gealic looks are so diffrent from the rest of homo sapiens is that they cross bred with neanderthal man there is dna proof of this now

hmm... source??

edit: If you're referring to the skeleton they found in Portugal, its certainly not DNA proof, more the lack of it. The skeleton may have had similar physical features, but there have been no major similarities found between the mitochondrial DNA of Neanderthals and Humans.

WL-southerner:

Don't know about this Neanderthal cross-breeding in Gaels (although I have heard somewhere that Neanderthals possibly interbred with Humans).
But I think you are confusing the terms Gaels and Celts. Celts did not belong to one single culture - this is really just a term applied by the Romans to describe the peoples of Gaul and beyond. Although these tribes shared some similar cultural ideas and some shared roots of languages they were not united and would certainly not have used that term to identify themselves.

Once again I must say that these tribes were not united, they are a mixture of many different races that have mixed at different times due to invasions or cultural contact through trading etc. The Gaulish tribes were not united and had many different origins from migrations of tribes. The red hair you talk about is a recessive gene which has spread with the movement of tribes, but those people would have had as mixed hair colours then as they do now. It is simply not correct to state that all Gaels would have red hair.
