  1. The Roman's tried the same thing with Judea and the Hebrews. They went so far that they changed the name of their country, killed almost everyone, and either enslaved the survivors or drove them out of the Roman empire far into Europe. They burned their culture, language and country to the ground and changed both the name of their homeland but the name of the survivors to the jews.

  2. Lots of factions other than just Rome have done this sort of thing throughout history sych as the Greeks, Assyrians, Israelites, Maori, Aztecs, Yup'ik, Chinese, Soviets, Russians, Mongolians, British, Germans, Dutch, French, Spanish, Chileans, Pontus, Abbasidians, Argentines, Comanche, Dahomey, Americans, and Belguim, to name just a few. Even Canada's hands are not clean. Humans have a very long global history of cruelty towards one another. War is in our DNA.

  3. I've always found the Celts fascinating as a set of beliefs – they have a very interesting contrast between seeming like if Hippies became a loose nation of communes and the whole Human sacrifice thing. Though, it's not fair to condemn them as backwards and savage at a time when blood sacrifice in general and Human sacrifice specifically was so common.
    It would have been interesting to see what the Druids would have become if they endured as an organised order – would they have reasserted their influence with the fall of Rome etc?

  4. The religion was not destroyed. Nice video but the title is kind of disrespectful
    Lots of drudic practices today are not much different to what the druids of old did, their rituals were much more reliant on nature than others, simply burning a sprig of juniper, offerings of milk, honey and grain are akin to their ways
