Who were the Celts?
Travel back over two thousand years to meet the Celts, a fierce and colorful group of ancient tribes who lived long before knights in shining armor! Did you know Celtic warriors bleached their hair with thick lime water so it stuck straight up like stiff spikes? They went into battle looking like ancient punk rockers, wearing heavy twisted gold necklaces called torcs and blowing giant trumpets shaped like screaming wild boars!
In this thrilling episode, Mira and Finn uncover the wild and mysterious world of the ancient Celts. You'll learn about the clever Druids, who spent twenty whole years in school but were never allowed to write a single word down! Discover the epic, centuries-long rivalry between the Celts and the mighty Roman Empire. Hear the unbelievable true story of Brennus, a Celtic leader who demanded a grand piano's weight in solid gold and threw his iron sword onto the scales! Then, find out how the famous Queen Boudicca led a massive rebellion and burned down Roman London so completely that a layer of red ash is still buried there today. Grab your gold torc and get ready for a history adventure!
