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…

The Gauls were worthy adversaries to Rome
Unlike the native Americans or Sub Saharan Africa
CRIXUS!!!!!
Did they really have plaids and tartans back then?
Salt had a central role in ancient Slavic cultures too. Only we were the importers, not exporters.
Shouldn't that be 'wrought havoc', not 'wreaked' at 0.23s?
I still remember the Gauloises 🚬
Hi
How did the Romans conquer the Gauls? I really want to learn about it but have no suggestions 😁
They're not forgotten. France is today's Gaul. There's also Galicia in Spain. Scotland and Ireland also.
Is this voiced by a computer? Mispronunciation of warriors at 40.50 and something earlier… At 52.00 "scointists' rather than scientists.
THE ANCESTORS OF THE SEA GAULS ?
I am ethnic Thracian. They also say we don't exist. We are also forgotten.
Informative documentary. Civilization gets buried in oblivion, but its residue sings its existence for longer.
So funny to watch French trying to prove their Celtic roots, when in truth their roots are German (Franks were Germanic tribe)
So Asterix and Obelix were a lie
I wondered why the Gauls/Celts fell, I wondered why compared to Germania and the lack of Rome getting strongholds there. Then I finally found out that because Western Europeans already had a sort of government between them all it made them easier to conquer. The Germanic people where still so independent from each other it made it harder for Rome to make deals with one tribe to the next but because Western Europeans already had a structure that was our downfall.
It’s actually insulting to continue to refer to the Kelts even after you admit that Gauls was just what the Romans called them
So inaccurate, Asterix is spinning in his grsve!
What about celtic Ireland who in the 5th and 6th century helped revive scholarship in Europe eg Columbanus even before this period celtic civilization was advanced eg La Tene culture Rome destroyed mainland celtic civilization but it continued in Wales Scotland Ireland the land of "Saints and Scholars " Historians in the Imperial tradition ommit or abrogate much of the cultures which influenced empires ?
Interesting documentation, but very France-centric. The celtic culture also were in many other parts of Europe. Also the creation area of the celtic culture were to its biggest part not in France, but in todays Czechia, Austria, Bavaria and a little part of today's France. From there it spreads over big parts of Europe.
Start naming children gaul names again
None of these plain names like burt
Sounds picts
Red hair not jew who exterminated them
The Romans were the initial ultra-colonizers who set the pattern for the western world. And the Gauls' fate shows the utter importance of preserving your culture's traditions IN WRITING, and the utter importance of BROAD access to that writing. In other words, democratic public education which includes deep experience of one's OWN cultural history before other people's.
It's not that far of how we all lived less than a 150 years ago. The Romans must have been a 100 year's ahead because they were more warlike and more innovating because of this running through their culture.
Ireland is fastly losing its heritage because of socalled modern life.
Two minutes in: Do we think that's a fort, or a corral?
All I see is a perimeter, with nothing in the middle.
Is that meant for driving livestock? Like, horses, cows, & sheep?
2:00
The Gauls are vampires.
Empty caverns in a religious setting. Is it possible the Gauls were practicing 3-day resurrection as part of their rites of passage to adulthood?
Bloody Romans!!!
I kind of wish we can return to this way of life
