The second theory on the origin of the Celtic nations is one that raises in the hypothesis that the Celts, and in general almost all European peoples, heir predecessors are not the original Indo-European peoples, but Scandinavian peoples or Vikings. This theory says that the Nordic arrived in Germany for various reasons, mainly by the simple desire for conquest, and from there they spread to Western Europe, Eastern Island and Middle East. Subsequently, the geographic isolation provoked Viking peoples who migrated to the south, became completely different from the Northern Vikings. But there is not much physical evidence to support this theory, since the Celtas remains found in Nordic countries are following the Celtic origin, apart from that, what was found in the course of Indo-European movements are much broader and more old. There is also little physical evidence that had been extremely manipulated by certain Governments during the Second World War and during the Cold War, it was in this period of history when much of the evidence was destroyed. The only strong evidence is the discovery of some materials clearly protocelts in northern Denmark, which were dated prior to the culture of Hallstat Austria. This theory is not accepted at present, but it is not wasted as the theory itself is very good and very logical.
