[Origin of the Celts] Theory IV >> Irish Origin


The fourth theory is similar to the theory Galician-Asturian. According to the Irish Theory, the Celts were born in Ireland and the Isle of Man. From there, they began to migrate to England, Wales, Curnugales, Scotland, and then to France, the countries of Eastern Europe, Spain and Turkey (the Galatians). This theory is based on data found on the same date that Galician, except for a bowl with a decoration that is apparently being protocelt and is about 700 years before. The vessel, or rather, the fraction of the vessel is extremely damaged, and it is not well-known source. Some archaeologists presume that the vessel must not be protocelta, if not totally Celta, as far as we know, the first and almost the sole inhabitants of Ireland are Celts.

Another proof is the Celtic mythology although it can not be taken as a 'fundamental proof' for the simple fact of being 'Mythology', it says that before the world was born, the Celts inhabited Ireland. Claudio Portés in his book 'The Celtic Expansion in Europe' gives us an interpretation of this piece of mythology telling us that the Celts probably knew well that their origins were Irish, and relates to the fact that "Before Continental Europe had Celts, Ireland had. "

This theory, I think that might be the only one that could been verify or disprove in a short period of time, as the Celts in Ireland sources are broad and poorly handled.
