Does history interest you?

I <3 history.

 

I find it very interesting at times.

 

Their culture was exterminated. True Celtic warriors would rather have died than give up their freedom or fight for the entertainment of Rome. And the empire fell hundreds of years after the fall of Albion so there really were no ways to return to.

 

ineed to go to europe again someday

 

History on some level interests me but I generally didn't like it at school because it was so depressing... I took geography instead.

 

Albion as an empire? I thought there were many celtic tribes and they even fought against eachother. When the roman empire expanded to west-Europe they didn't really conquer an Albion nation. And what are those sources about true celtic warriors except for the novels you named, because I really dig the celts as well but assumed most of their culture is unknown.

 

Yeah I like history- partic from the point of view of it showing your identity and to predict the future.

But the present and future are as imp , or perhaps a lot more imp.

BTW yeah , I'd love to trace my family further back than I have.But Russian and Slavic stuff aint my strong point...

 

Ps on Celts , as I understand it , they fled England to places such as Wales and Scotland and Ireland , when the Romans invaded.
The Welsh for instance are much darker and shorter than the typical Anglo - English.
Cornwall is also Celtic in many ways.
And most English people are of mixed Celtic , Anglo and Nordic/ other blood.

But most other Celtic culture in *England* has disappeared.

Until just after 1900 , people from different regions looked markedly different.

 

There was no unified empire in Albion, though several tribes did put aside their differences in an attempt to push Rome off their lands, and they were quelled by the legions. The only known history was written by Roman and Greek historians who saw the Celts as the proud peoples they were. Although there were survivors who fled to Wales and Ireland, outside of Ogham they had no way of recording their history and customs and it was lost to time. Except for stories handed down that have mostly been dismissed as legend.

 

Family history can be really interesting. I have relatives in so many parts of the world.

 

mine, that I've been able to find, must have came here really early, because some of them were born here in the 1750's and back then there wasn't even a town yet.

I'd love to be able to find the link they had to Europe (england specifically,) but that part is missing. Who knows, maybe it was one of the original pilgrims.

 

I was watching something about economical history.

That was quite interesting.

Bizarely, Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici, hasn't made it to any conspiracy sites I've seen.

 

Since we don't have satellite anymore, we don't get the history channel. god I fucking miss that channel

 

I love it. And its fucking important to know, because it can reallyyy help to figure out the present.

 

Hey man, if you like celts and fiction I wonder if you've heard about the Deverry books. It's a step further from history then just fiction (it's fantasy ), but it's based on celtic culture and after the time they had to flee from the romans. You have to be open for fantasy though, but I partly love it so much because the heavily celtic-influenced setting.

 

some of it does interest me....its not something i spend a lot of time reading up on though

 

I know more about the nixon administration than most people who lived through it.

history is most of this layer of reality.

 

If somebody could tell me why half the free world despise Israel...it would be appreciated.

 

dirty, filthy, rich jews

duh

 

because the first world displaced people and said "THIS IS ISRAEL NOW!" and jews and muslims already have a bit of contention in regard to the chosen son of abraham and stuff.

so... yeah, israel's existence is salt in a very old wound.

edit: and israel has a REALLY scary intelligence operation, not even mentionins the IAF
