Description: |
We must take in consideration that when scholars talk about Celts, they are not talking about a particular "race", or about natives of specific regions more...now associated with the Celts, or about adherents of any particular religion. Nor are they making arbitrary terminological distinctions, they are talking about Celtic language speakers and their cultures.
Celts were a diverse group of independent, indigenous tribal societies. Taking into consideration the Cletic tribe Skordiskoi, so much present in Dardania (modern Kosova) from the 3 century BC and its ending -oi, common on both tribe names, we may guess that we have to deal, like on the case of Japodes, a mixing Celto-Illyrian tribe, with Dardanian- Celtic symbiosis of two tribes. Interesting to note that ancient Scotland was also called ALBANIA or ALBANY, and the island of Britain itself was called ALBION. The Latin word ALBA [meaning white] mustnt be confused with the more widespread indo-european word meaning mountain, because both words have entered the English language: Alpine and Albino. All these names mean "white cliffs" or "white mountains", which is how they look when one approaches them from the sea. less
