The Celts

The Celts were the first habitants of Britain.
There were many groups, speaking a common language. The word "Celt" comes from the Greek word Keltoi which means 'barbarians'.
The Celts loved bright colours, infact they dyed their clothes into bright colours.  They also loved to wear jewellery made from bronze, gold, silver.
The Celts ate what they could grow or hunt: plants, animals and insects.
They lived in scattered villages in round houses made of wattle and daub. The houses had no windows but they had a hole in the roof and the animals were kept inside for protection.
The Celts believed in many gods and goddesses: over 400. They believed that the human soul lived inside the head so they nailed them over the doors after their death.
