I'VE JUST FINISHED THE 3 DVD SET CALLED "CELTIC LEGENDS." PRODUCED BY KULTUR - WEBSITE WWW.KULTUR.COM
I'VE ALREADY BLOGGED AND ALSO PUT ON MY WEBSITE UNDER "HISTORY" WHAT THE ONE DVD SAYS ABOUT "KING ARTHUR."
THE SECOND DVD IS ON THE LEGENDS OF SCOTLAND. AND SCOTLAND DOES HAVE QUITE A FEW 'HERO' LEGENDS; AS THEY DID FIGHT THE ROMANS, AND THE ENGLISH ANGLO-SAXONS; HENCE THEY PRODUCED A NUMBER OF FAMOUS SCOTTISH LEGENDS.
THE THIRD DVD IS ON LEGENDS OF IRELAND.
HERE THEY OBVIOUSLY HAD MORE DIFFICULTY, AS THE IRISH DID NOT FIGHT THE ROMANS, AND ROME NEVER INVADED IRELAND; ALSO THE IRISH DID NOT FIGHT THE ANGLO-SAXONS.
SO WHAT THEY DID WAS TIE IRELAND INTO THE "CELTIC" RACE OF PEOPLE.
HISTORIANS ALL AGREE THAT THE CELTIC PEOPLE APPEARED ABOUT 700 B.C. FROM WHERE THEY CAME... THAT HAS BEEN A MYSTERY TO THEM. THEY ALSO KNOW THAT THE CELTIC PEOPLE AT ONE TIME, BY ABOUT 500 B.C. WERE DWELLING FROM THE BLACK SEA TO SPAIN, AND SOME ARRIVED IN SOUTH-WEST ENGLAND.
HISTORIANS AGREE THE ROMANS CALLED THEM "GAULS" AND WERE IN ASIA MINOR BY 200 B.C.
HISTORY ALSO SHOWS THEY WERE A MIGHTY WARING PEOPLE AND SACKED ROME; THEY COULD MATCH AND EVEN BEAT MANY TIMES THE ROMAN WAR MACHINE. THOUGH A WARLIKE PEOPLE, THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN AN "EMPIRE" ESTABLISHMENT AS THE ROMANS WERE.
EVENTUALLY DURING THE B.C. PERIOD THEY CAME TO INHABIT ENGLAND, WALES, PARTS OF SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND.
THE ROMAN WRITERS OFTEN CALLED THEM BARBARIANS, BUT ROME CALLED JUST ABOUT ANYONE NOT PART OF THEIR KIND, BARBARIANS. WHEN YOU SEE THE WAY ROME CONDUCTED ITSELF IN WAR AND THE GLADIATOR ENTERTAINMENT AND THE KILLING OF CHRISTIANS TO WILD BEASTS, IT IS REALLY ROME WHO WAS THE BARBARIAN.
THE DVD GIVES YOU SOME, WELL ONE IN PARTICULAR, CELTIC LEADER OF B.C. TIMES WHO WELDED MUCH OF THE CELTIC WARRIORS INTO ONE, AND DEFEATED MANY TIMES THE ROMAN FORCES, UP TO THE TIME OF JULIAS CEASAR, WHO FINALLY PUT DOWN THE EUROPE CELTS, WITH SUPERIOR WAR TACTICS AND CAVALRY.
THEN JULIAS CEASAR TURNED HIS EYES TOWARDS BRITAIN. HE HAD NO IDEA HOW THE CELTIC PEOPLE HAD MOVED IN EDUCATION AND SKILLS IN THE CENTURIES BEFORE JULIAS CEASAR. WHEN HE ARRIVED ON THE SHORES OF BRITAIN HE WAS MET WITH CAVALRY AND CHARIOTS, AND DID NOT GET ANY FURTHER THAN THE SEA SHORE. THE FOLLOWING YEAR HE INVADED WITH MANY MORE TROOPS AND MADE HEADWAY OF ABOUT 70 MILES INLAND, BUT FINALLY HAD TO DO A PEACE DEAL WITH THE BRITISH. HE RETURNED TO EUROPE AND THE ROMAN EMPIRE NEVER TRIED TO INVADE BRITAIN AGAIN FOR ABOUT 100 YEARS.
AROUND 50 TO 60 A.D. ROME CAME ONCE MORE. THE DVD TELLS YOU ABOUT THE MIGHTY BRITISH WOMAN BOADICEA AND HER BATTLES WITH THE ROMANS.
THE DVD MISSES THE EVEN MORE MIGHTIER BRITISH WAR LEADER "CARADOC" OR "CARACTACUS" AS THE ROMANS CALLED HIM, WHO DEFEATED THE ROMANS MANY TIMES.
THAT HISTORY IS ON MY WEBSITE UNDER THE HISTORY SECTION.
WELL THE 3 DVD SET IS WORTH GETTING IF YOU ARE INTO HISTORY LIKE MYSELF.
THE UNEARTHED FINDINGS OF THE CELTIC PEOPLE SHOW THEY WERE A VERY ADVANCED PEOPLE IN AN EDUCATED SOCIETY, WITH MANY SKILLS. SOME OF THE BRONZE AND GOLD DECORATIONS ETC. THEY MADE ARE TRULY BEAUTIFUL AND ARTISTIC.
WELL WHO WERE THE CELTIC PEOPLE APPEARING IN THE AREA OF THE BLACK SEA AND EUROPE AND ASIA MINOR FROM 700 B.C.? VERY SIMPLE IF YOU KNOW AND BELIEVE THE BIBLE. THEY WERE PART OF THE PEOPLE OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, WHO WERE TAKEN CAPTIVE BY THE ASSYRIANS FROM 735 TO 718 B.C. WHEN THE ASSYRIAN EMPIRE FELL TO THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE, BOTH THE ASSYRIANS AND THE TRIBES OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL MOVED NORTH, EAST AND WEST.
EVENTUALLY THEY ALL SETTLED IN NORTH-WEST EUROPE AND THE BRITISH ISLES. THE TRIBES OF JOSEPH ISRAEL BECAME KNOWN AS THE ANGLO-SAXONS, AND DID NOT ARRIVE IN BRITAIN UNTIL 500 A.D.
YES ISRAEL WAS TO BE SIFTED THROUGH THE NATIONS TO A NEW HOMELAND AS GOD SAID HE WOULD DO IN AMOS 9:9.
