... on Barry Cunliffe's St Patrick Day's Lecture on Celts


Barry Cunliffe: Who Were the Celts?

Up to 1:06:26, that is before the Q/A session, after that I have not yet watched it. Yet.

Re intro,
wonder what Barry Cunliffe would think of this, here:

HGL's F.B. writings : Discussion of Celtic Inis (Welsh Ynys) with Latin Insula, perhaps Greek Nesos

22:48
Ravens being "Celtic Walkyries" might add weight to the Gaulish Druid theory of Odin's identity?

Just before 38:28
"they pass the wine as through a sieve".

I am reminded to Sigmund's words to his son Sinfjotle about the poison ... were there "poisons" which could be eliminated that way?

45:41
This argument on glossochronology, you should be less sure of.

Someone did a similar thing with IndoEuropean and Russian emerged VERY late in that model (they refrained from calibrating the program by inserting known dates).

52:54
The great megalithic tombs ...

4500 BC
3500 BC

According to my Fibonacci modelling of C14 rise, this looks like this:

2420 av. J.-Chr. 76,66562 % + 2200 ans, 4620 av. J.-Chr.
2241 av. J.-Chr. 86,26541 % + 1200 ans, 3441 av. J.-Chr.

New blog on the kid : Avec un peu d'aide de Fibonacci ... j'ai une table, presque correcte

So, 2420 BC to 2241 BC is the period you are talking about, and I wonder, does that affect your model significantly?

57:25
You mentioned 6000 BC.

Here is my recalibration for c. 6500:

2599 av. J.-Chr. 62,75068 % + 3850 ans, 6449 av. J.-Chr.
