Unfathomable because we essentially know the Latin take on Celts and Druids and Bell-Beakers, which is the Continental Celtic take, and the Bell-Beaker take and from where all of science springs. And the Insular Celtic take on all of this is derided as mystical and unscientific. Let alone echoes of the Megalithic Culture’s take on this – for which we can look to Egyptian, which is always derided as even-more-mystical and even-more-unscientific: an echo of the 5,500 year old Nubian culture from which it springs and not something for an educated Westerner to be reading. Yet this is the other side of our own culture, disregarded as ‘natural’ and ’emotional’… and preserved by a minority in the villages of England 1).
