Quote:It think it's funny that the Celts are the only ancient people who get dissected in such a manner - where are all the deconstructionists/revisionists when it comes to the Iranians, the Indians, or the Slavs?? Why do some of you people not want them to have existed? Do you feel threatened, or something?
Mostly I think it is a counter argument to the Victorian Era of "Historical Research". Though I do not agree with many (or most) of their findings they did unearth a wealth of evidence to something. I wish they documented better how they found and where they found artifacts but modern archeology is now much better having learned from those mistakes. Someone during the time at least did enough digging to find the word "Celt" in the first place! Whether they applied it correctly is open to interpretation (I guess) but the similarities are there.
There are revisionists that wage outright war between each other over the date of early Greek events (The Iliad). I follow this debate as close as I can; so the mindset is NOT unknown in other periods.
