The idea of the primitive Gauls, living in the forest until they were civilized and assimilated into the Roman Empire, is now regarded as totally obsolete. In this film, archaeologists and historians uncover Gaulish settlements to reveal the true face of the Gauls. A civilisation with high level of craftsmanship, that prized trade, developed cities and developed their own culture and religion. A civilisation that left their own mark on Europe…
This documentary was produced by Eclectic and directed by Philippe Tourancheau. It was first released in 2018.

nah. romans were civilized. gauls were just a bunch of barbarians. cope and seethe more france
I wonder if anyone has been able to recreate one of those war horns. I would love to hear the sound.
"gods…i hate gauls, my grandfather hated them too."
People don't realize the celts in gaul faced 10 roman legions under the command of Julius Caesar and almost won.
They held their own against Germanics but after several hundred years of romanization, they lost the ability to defend themselves
Are you serious? Julius Caesar wrote about them during his campaigns. He said they were barbarians. Besides offering child sacrifices, In order to prepare for a battle they would construct a huge wicker man that was hollow inside. Then fill it with as many men as they could and set it on fire as a sacrifice to the war gods for success in battle.
Civilized?? If that is civilized , then someone doesn’t know the definition of insanity.
Stop trying to rethink history. It cannot be changed.
I still feel like a Savage😂.
ew, barbarus
Why the hell am I only the 846th person to hit the "thumbs up" like button on this documentary??? This is by far and long one of the best I have seen, either on Cable Television or here on YouTube (modern television). Like, in my high-school history class, they literally taught Roman Propaganda or the stories of Roman Legates, Prefects or other such ROMAN figures. The people who invented all of the modern racist terms we still use towards either French or British People. Why the hell does anyone alive today still consider those stories as "factual documentation of early Celtic life"? No, those 'stories' are literally that of victorious generals shit talking their now subjugated new imperial province. It is literally like going straight to sources from Caesar Augustus to learn about ancient Israel (Judea), which those same aristocrats in Rome chose to begin to refer to as "The land of the Philistines", the Philistines being a nation which had been LONG vanquished by the Israelites at that time in history, it is why we have a book about them in The Holy Bible yet no contemporary sources from any more recent period in history, because by then they were literally gone. As in, gone from the face of the planet and their DNA by then had become SO mixed in with that of neighboring nations where they fled that it became for all intents and purposes, erased from the human gene pool aside from modern genetic sequencing. But that 0.0002% of anything does not make you a person 'of that culture/heritage'. I have about that much Neanderthal in me, does that make me a walking, living cave-man? I have literally a full 2% Hebrew, yet I am not a Jew. I'm a Canadian. The youngest generations nowadays seem to have a MASSIVE disconnect between historical fact, scientific proof, and modern corrupt-morals. We need more actually informative pieces like this going around. People choose to believe propaganda because the propagandists are telling them what they want to hear not what they need to hear.
they had magic potion that made them so strong.
Hey. I didn't know these facts about the gauls. 🙂
That was a stunning documentary. Breaking from the narrative to dig up and reveal the truth. I wish someone would do the same here in Britain. Thank you 👍✌️☮️🌍💜
👍👍
The Celts probably invented chain mail but only the elite used them. The also invented the classic Roman helmet with the cheek-guards. Also much of the Roman cavalry were provided by native tribes like Celts, Illyrians and Numidians (Algerians).
As Caesar would likely say: Gaullic propaganda
Seems Romans called everyone barbarians to justfy their genocides.
I wish you left all of the credits
Love the bus passing in the background of the war council scene!
I know some academic out there is calculating the reparation figure Italy owes to France for shits and giggles
Roman history has no place in school, they have lied to us about everything, even what month it is
How do you go from Charlemagne and Napoleon to the WW2 GENERAL'S?
Don't forget they also were capable of making magical potions which gave you super strength!
Civilised society? More like raiders who wreaked havoc, and meant death, destruction, wanton violence and brutality to those that they met on their way. Civilised my arse!
What's all this constant re-telling of history that seems to be championed on youtube all about? The new "youtube age of enlightenment" perhaps?
Great to know more about my ancient ancestors throughout history
They are descendants of Noah's son Japhet, so of course they knew how to drink wine and probably traded for the best wine that came from their ancestry in and around the black sea.. And of course they knew how to build large structures. God taught man to build ships and then they were building large cities under the orders of Nimrod.
