Vercingétorix was one of the greatest men in the History of the European people. All Gallic people should be proud, as should all people descended from the Celtic Tribes throughout the European continent. Hail Vercingétorix.
The celts are gone culturally but they live on inside our veins. We need to keep their history alive for our future generations. I love to dress up like a celt and go wild camping in the woods and read mythology and cook venison on cast iron. Nothing better.

Pheonix Down I hear you. Mainstream always pointing the finger in contrived directions whenever a big movement takes place. In my case, I decided to instill the old values in my kids. I am Native on my maternal side by way of Canada and Basque-Breton through my father's ancestry. My mind and culture heavily lean towards my mother's side but over the last 10 years or so, I started to really study all I could about the old Gaulish ways, including the living culture of modern descendant peoples. I felt like I had to complete things because I wanted my kids to know both sides of their family and honor their ancestors. When doing my son's 7th year hunter initiation, instead of just doing my Native thing, I combined many Celtic "old ways" elements in as well. It felt good to do so and I felt that the ancestors were pleased. The old hunting/huntsman initiation process is something that can be quietly brought back with no issues. A good book to learn more about that process is "From Boys to Men of Heart" by Randall Eaton. (Owl Link Media) A friend of mine gifted me a copy years ago and I must have lent it out to 20 or more people so far. What really caught me by surprise is how similar the core cultures can be, when you omit the technology (metal working, etc.) part of it. Living with the land in a respectful way, honoring fauna and flora, warrior culture with a foundation of honor in serving the tribe before oneself...really cool. When one goes back far enough, everyone's ancestors at some point saw the natural world through indigenous eyes. Vercingetorix is at the tip top of my heroes list up there with His Crazy Horse III (Crazy Horse), Sitting Bull, Metacomet (King Phillip), Geronimo, Tecumseh and so on. I have to admit, most of my life, I felt shy about my Euro ancestry because it made me a "mixed blood". I don't feel that way now. I am just as proud of my Celtic roots as I am my Native ones and I am instilling that pride and any bit of authentic "old ways" culture that I can.
One might surmise, yet, I am a contemporary Celt, my culture lives on, and my tongue is honeyed with the sweet strains of the tongue of the sons of our Mil, the Old Northern dialect of Gaelige. I am a free person, better than my ancestors, and I hope everybody is! Sin e mo sceal seo.

Gaul will never die ! What had France become during History ? And what had Italy become during History ? The result is clear, Celtic blood triumphed, with the oldest nation of the world !Long live Celtic blood and long live France !
Yours is a proud Culture, History. Vercingétorix and the story of the Gauls has always inspired me, they fought for their Culture against an Empire famous for it's destruction of other peoples Culture, Religion. Long Live France, and Long Live The Celtic people of Europe, we are still here, and we have not forgotten who we are.
Lol. It became the beacon of art and culture for the centuries to come. Half paintings in french museums are italian. I guess Fieramosca beat your asses so hard in Puglia you forgot about who's your cultural daddy. You also had to destroy the monument when you invaded Italy 'cause it reminded you of the humiliation.
Christian Cristof 7 years for this empire and allies to invade gaulics TRIBES ! Shut the fuck up Do you know Napoleon ? Charlemagne? Godefroy de bouillon ? Jeanne d'arc ? Charles martel ? Open a history book
Diz Diz Diz Diz Napoleon : Italian. Charlemagne : German Charles Martel : German. I mean, out of those five historical figures, only 2 were actual French, and even then Godefroy is literally know by no one. So yeah, only one globally renowned actually French person comes out of that list. Yikes.
Northern Italians, especially in Lombardy, Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna, have Celtic ancestry, too. Our name was "Gallia Cisalpina" (Gaul on this side of the Alps, seen from Rome), then also "Gallia Togata" because we were the first romanized Celts (the ones who first adopted Roman culture and clothing). BUT we were also the ones who longer fought, for CENTURIES, against Rome, and put Rome's very existence in danger. Cisalpine Gauls begun fighting against Rome and sacked it around 400 BC and surrendered to the Roman Republic only around 200 BC, after having sided with Hannibal against it. At Caesar's times, legionaries from Cisalpine Gaul (which was annexed to Italy only later, by Emperor Augustus) were the bulk of Caesar's legions fighting against Vercingetorix. So, sorry France! I sympathize with the Gauls, but at the end we Cisalpine Gauls, together with Caesar, helped bringing you cities, aqueducts, roads, the Latin language etc. and making you part of the Romanic world. Nevertheless, I still side with Asterix. :)
It's not a pride that we were used against each other, assuming your claim has truth in it. Gauls were used as mercenaries by many kings, their (our) individual fighting skills and spirits seems to be much better than our ability to fight as a united nation/race. Let's change this! Not by causing or fighting wars, but by better ways to us and rest of humanity
The Celts already had a Great Civilisation, from Gallia to Hibernia, and we didn't want your filthy cities and Latin language. We already had roads and agriculture. We had a clanic way of life, close to Nature, not imperialistic power-hungry tyrants like the Romans. We were the Kings of Ironwork from whom the world (Rome included) borrowed many technologies and knowledge. They also borrowed from the Druids who were great mathematicians, astronomers and medicine-men/women.
Very beautiful music. Every bit as good as the old music of my Irish and Scottish and French ancestors. Say what you will about ancient Celtic peoples, but they made magnificent music. Great video. Albain go bragh! Erin go bragh! 🏴🇮🇪🇫🇷
« La Gaule unie Formant une seule nation Animée d'un même esprit, Peut défier l'Univers. » - Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, Inscription under the seven-meter-tall Vercingétorix Statue erected by Aimé Millet on where the Siege of Alesia occurred, 1866. Still rings true today.
I am French and Dutch. Gallia (France) was home to the Gauls. They were the hardest tribe the Romans got face to face with. The Gauls could even be blamed for starting the Roman Empire for they attacked Rome in the first place. Vercingetorix was said to be as smart as Julius Caesar. Vive la France!
What a gem of a composer Keith is. So glad I stumbled on your music. So many artists try to achieve that gritty historical feel and just fall flat. You beautifully capture that feel though. Bravo!
Thanks Dervhengrym, I came across your great channel a couple of years ago, when your track Úlfhéðnar was going viral, man I love that track. As I said to you at the time, you totally nailed the Nordic Vibe, the vocals are great, they give it a real gritty feel. Have a great week, wishing you well with your channel. Best wishes from Ireland !
That's awesome, indeed, I just scrolled down and found your comment! :D two years already, time really flies haha... I've been listening to your Celtic playlist while gardening. Brilliant work... Delightful combination of instruments, vocals, ambiences and melodies. I absolutely LOVE the Uilleann Pipes (my favourite instrument, I believe). This type of music speaks to me deeply... It's an honour, Keith. Hopefully talk to you soon. Best wishes :)
The Uilleann Pipes call out to the Celtic Soul (Auvergne). I absolutely love the sound, I like Bag Pipes, but feel that with the Uilleann Pipes it can be played in a more expressive way. Not too dissimilar to understanding a Flute. The instruments that I play are Flutes, Native American, Aztec, Maya, clay flutes, whistles, and Irish Whistles, Tagelharpa , and a few others. I also use Virtual Instruments, Cubase Pro, etc.. My music is a mix of both. I like History, Culture, Folklore, Myth, imagining the music of the past. Have a great weekend, talk to you later.
Innanzitutto grazie davvero sia per questa stupenda musica che per il bellissimo video. Concordo sulla immortalità del sangue celtico, che oltrepassa i secoli. Non dimentichiamo mai che l'attuale Gran Bretagna non fai completamente conquistata dai romani, al pari di vaste aree della attuale Francia e Germania. Purtroppo la Storia la scrive chi vince o meglio i presunti vincitori. Io sono italiano: anche in Italia abbiamo avuti esempi immortali di popoli e genti che hanno strenuamente combattuto i romani. Lunga vita al popolo sannita! SAFINEIS!!!!!!
@@KeithOSullivanmusic Grazie ancora a te. Una terra, della gente, che non ha memoria di ciò che è passato sui suoi fiumi, sulla propria terra, sotto i propri cieli non può avere nessun futuro. A proposito dei Romani: la gente dovrebbe leggere di più le immortali parole di Calgaco. Ciao. Saluti dal Sannio.
@Pino Pietropaolo. Coloro che riscrivono la storia sono quelli che cercano di rubare il futuro. Noi europei non possiamo mai dimenticare da dove veniamo, tutti noi siamo i discendenti di un popolo che ha combattuto per il nostro futuro, la nostra terra. Ci viene detto che non abbiamo Cultura, quando è chiaro a coloro che hanno gli occhi di vedere che le culture collettive europee non hanno rivali. Ogni angolo del continente ha dato origine a una cultura unica. Ho sempre amato l'Italia, una cultura ricca, una storia orgogliosa, un popolo onorevole. Le mie scuse per il mio italiano sto usando il traduttore di google. Saluto dall'Irlanda.
@@KeithOSullivanmusic il tuo italiano rasenta la perfezione. Salutami quella meravigliosa terra e quella meravigliosa gente che è TUTTA l'Irlanda; purtroppo non ho mai avuto il piacere e l'onore di visitarla ma è nel mio cuore e nei miei sogni
Caesar's legionaries fighting against Vercingetorix were actually mainly other Celts: newly romanized Celts from Cisalpine Gaul (nowadays' Northern Italy). In fact, he governed over the province of Cisalpine Gaul (and the one of Transalpine Gaul, being nowadays' coastal Southern France), and recruited legionaries from these provinces.
I belive that many including boudica used this on the battle field not for music but to communicate for miles. Word takes time to reach thousands but a specific sound travels well. at the speed of sound much quicker A kind of phone if you will. Possible why the instrument is so tall. to be seen and heard. But also used in peace as communication between villages. Would be intresting to see how it sounds over maybe a sports event crowd and if you can comunicate clearly over the sound of battle and if so how far before you need another horn.
Keith Osullivan ,Keith your music for this piece of film is evocative of our forefathers,you certainly captured the imagery,its a lovely piece of composition and haunts the imagination,I shall certainly be looking out for your work,I hope you get the recognition you deserve,
Thank you Brian, I really do appreciate your kind words, it means a lot to me for you to say that. Nice talking to you again, I hope that you are having a great weekend, and that you are keeping well my friend. best wishes to you. Keith :)

The real shame is the ancient Celts were amazing personal warriors often hired by peoples like the Greeks as mercenaries but they're preferred method of 1v1 honor bound personal combat wasn't effective against testudo formations of men throwing Pilum, impaling their shields turning them ineffective, they were duelists and often would send just one man their champion ahead of the army to meet the enemy's champion and duel to decide the fate of the entire battle.
Keith O' Sullivan Composer hey Ireland Is a beautiful and great country, I has heard that people from Ireland is very kind. I hope to visit your country, greetings from México
I'm currently working for a mod for a video game. Would you consider composing some scores for it? Loved this music. It's set in the Dark Ages, so not dissimilar to this.
Hello Keith! I was looking for some info on your music and licences. I wanted to use it some of my videos, but not without your permission or licence. I sometimes buy music from independent composers and use it, but I do not want to pay some kind of service created by big company. I make metal detecting videos, where I document my archaeological prospections for local museums and archaeological institutions. I find a lot of celtic and germanic artefacts, but recently I ran out of good music to use. I profit from my videos (not much, but I get occasional donations) so, if you'll have your music available for purchase and use in videos, I would be glad to support you. I mostly buy music from composers on Bandcamp. But I am not sure how benefitial is this platform. I just know a lot of independent composers and bands use it.
Hi Carpathian. Feel free to use my music on your channel, without a fee or a license. Your channel looks cool, I often thought about buying a metal detector myself. I love the History of the European people, and am very interested in Historical artifacts, they tell a story that needs to be told. I own all of the music on my channel, I am not affiliated with a record label. So, you should not have a problem on RUclips using my music, and if you do get in touch with me, or point them to this comment where I grant you the permission to use it. Best wishes to you, happy hunting. Greetings to you from Ireland. :)
@@KeithOSullivanmusic Thank you so much. I hope you'll release more stuff in the future. I listen to your music a lot at work. It will be a pleasure to have it as soundtrack when I tell a story of an artefact!
@@CarpathianCZ I gave up on RUclips ten months ago, and am not sure that I will be uploading again here. I will start a channel on another platform soon, as I am working on new music currently. When I do, I will upload at least one video on RUclips, and include a link where I can be found. My advice to you would be to download any of my music that you like, as I feel that they could delete my channel any day they choose to. We live in a different World now than the one we were born into, and it is only getting crazier, the rules change every day, and it is all too obvious on this platform. I hope you uncover something really great. :)
No, sorry about that Ravenna I don't. I keep meaning to start a channel on another platform, where would you recommend ? I gave up uploading to RUclips almost nine months ago, it's worse than Facebook at this stage. All the main platforms are now conformist garbage.
@evansdrad The celtic nationalist forget rome still i won't forget what they did to my ancestors the gauls I'm so glad that Hannibal was able to sack rome and Alaric and his visigoths whoop rome ass and sack rome. Remeber all the great warriors that fought against rome for freedom. Spartacus Hannibal fitigern Alaric boudica Attila and more.
Same here we sucferd so much from the romans but in thw end we fought and fought never gave up thank the Gallic tribes and the gauls for fighting for our future and people and thank king Clovis who led a rebellion against rome and what is now modern day France.
French may be Greek, Italians, Germans, Dutch and Celtic descendants, but Gauls are the icon of France... It's a shame that France is now a shadow of its former glory
such a great story from a great man, btw, a man who sacrifice for his people`s live why called terrorist, weird!!! reminds me of asterix, obelix, and panoramix anyway :)
It is a 2001 film titled '' Druids '', I have also seen it titled as '' Vercingétorix ''. I came across it on RUclips, I am sure if you type Vercingétorix Film you'll find it.
Not at present, but I will be working on it very soon. I'm just working on finishing off a Celtic and a Nordic Album, then I will make them available for purchase. Thanks for listening.
Thanks Andreas, it's the way things have gone, it's easier now to download any music you want for free. That's the main reason that the music industry has collapsed, and the reason there's really no money to be made for musicians anymore. You just have to accept it, move on, and make music because you love to do it. And hope that what you do is appreciated by those who listen. Have a great week Andreas.

Thank you very much Andreas. You have definitely given me a lot to think on. I must admit that when it comes to the social networking side of things I'm hopeless. The person who uploaded my music to the google community, Smokey Rocks, is one of my subscribers, one of the first. He shares a lot of my music on Google +, especially the Celtic, Nordic, and Fantasy style. Thanks for the links, I'll check them out now. Thanks again, best wishes from Ireland. Keith.
Romans: the curse of the ancient times... I sometimes wonder what our world would be like if Hannibal, Vercingetorix or someone else would have been victorious against Rome. A world without Christianity and Islam it would be... But...it seems that mankind always finds a reason to make war.
It's a 2001 Film called Druids, if you do a search you'll find it on RUclips, and if it doesn't come up type in film about Vercingétorix it should come up.
Vercingetorix deserves much more credit and attention celts all over the world should celebrate his legacy

Open a history book
Personne French are a mix between Italic and Germanic people lmao
Diz Diz Diz Diz Napoleon : Italian.
Charlemagne : German
Charles Martel : German.
I mean, out of those five historical figures, only 2 were actual French, and even then Godefroy is literally know by no one. So yeah, only one globally renowned actually French person comes out of that list. Yikes.
Defeat over young Vercingetreix was a descisve time in European history, no dought about it. Beautiful musice. 'Lest we Forget'
Northern Italians, especially in Lombardy, Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna, have Celtic ancestry, too. Our name was "Gallia Cisalpina" (Gaul on this side of the Alps, seen from Rome), then also "Gallia Togata" because we were the first romanized Celts (the ones who first adopted Roman culture and clothing). BUT we were also the ones who longer fought, for CENTURIES, against Rome, and put Rome's very existence in danger. Cisalpine Gauls begun fighting against Rome and sacked it around 400 BC and surrendered to the Roman Republic only around 200 BC, after having sided with Hannibal against it. At Caesar's times, legionaries from Cisalpine Gaul (which was annexed to Italy only later, by Emperor Augustus) were the bulk of Caesar's legions fighting against Vercingetorix. So, sorry France! I sympathize with the Gauls, but at the end we Cisalpine Gauls, together with Caesar, helped bringing you cities, aqueducts, roads, the Latin language etc. and making you part of the Romanic world. Nevertheless, I still side with Asterix. :)
It's not a pride that we were used against each other, assuming your claim has truth in it.
Gauls were used as mercenaries by many kings, their (our) individual fighting skills and spirits seems to be much better than our ability to fight as a united nation/race.
Let's change this! Not by causing or fighting wars, but by better ways to us and rest of humanity
The Celts already had a Great Civilisation, from Gallia to Hibernia, and we didn't want your filthy cities and Latin language. We already had roads and agriculture. We had a clanic way of life, close to Nature, not imperialistic power-hungry tyrants like the Romans. We were the Kings of Ironwork from whom the world (Rome included) borrowed many technologies and knowledge. They also borrowed from the Druids who were great mathematicians, astronomers and medicine-men/women.

Very beautiful music. Every bit as good as the old music of my Irish and Scottish and French ancestors. Say what you will about ancient Celtic peoples, but they made magnificent music. Great video. Albain go bragh! Erin go bragh!

Many thanks!
They surely do!!!
« La Gaule unie
Formant une seule nation
Animée d'un même esprit,
Peut défier l'Univers. »
- Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, Inscription under the seven-meter-tall Vercingétorix Statue erected by Aimé Millet on where the Siege of Alesia occurred, 1866.
Still rings true today.
Hail Vercingétorix and the Gallic Tribes who fought for their Freedom !
Toujours magique !!!
Glorious video !
Thanks man. Have a great weekend.
I am French and Dutch. Gallia (France) was home to the Gauls. They were the hardest tribe the Romans got face to face with. The Gauls could even be blamed for starting the Roman Empire for they attacked Rome in the first place. Vercingetorix was said to be as smart as Julius Caesar. Vive la France!
Vive la France!
the Judeans killed more Romans than the Gauls
Really? Well, just because they killed more Romans doesn't mean they were more powerful than the Gauls.
@@Geckoman-eb9hg oh for sure...The Gauls later took over Europe
Greetings from Noricum
This video is beautiful
Love Celtic culture
Thank you very much. Have a great weekend. :)
What a gem of a composer Keith is. So glad I stumbled on your music. So many artists try to achieve that gritty historical feel and just fall flat. You beautifully capture that feel though. Bravo!
I really do appreciate your kind words, thank you Joseph.
Powerful and inspiring music & video! I can't believe it took me that long to find your channel. A glorious tribute as well.. Greetings from Auvergne!
Thanks Dervhengrym, I came across your great channel a couple of years ago, when your track Úlfhéðnar was going viral, man I love that track. As I said to you at the time, you totally nailed the Nordic Vibe, the vocals are great, they give it a real gritty feel. Have a great week, wishing you well with your channel. Best wishes from Ireland !
That's awesome, indeed, I just scrolled down and found your comment! :D two years already, time really flies haha... I've been listening to your Celtic playlist while gardening. Brilliant work... Delightful combination of instruments, vocals, ambiences and melodies. I absolutely LOVE the Uilleann Pipes (my favourite instrument, I believe). This type of music speaks to me deeply...
It's an honour, Keith. Hopefully talk to you soon. Best wishes :)
The Uilleann Pipes call out to the Celtic Soul (Auvergne). I absolutely love the sound, I like Bag Pipes, but feel that with the Uilleann Pipes it can be played in a more expressive way. Not too dissimilar to understanding a Flute. The instruments that I play are Flutes, Native American, Aztec, Maya, clay flutes, whistles, and Irish Whistles, Tagelharpa , and a few others. I also use Virtual Instruments, Cubase Pro, etc.. My music is a mix of both. I like History, Culture, Folklore, Myth, imagining the music of the past. Have a great weekend, talk to you later.
Innanzitutto grazie davvero sia per questa stupenda musica che per il bellissimo video. Concordo sulla immortalità del sangue celtico, che oltrepassa i secoli. Non dimentichiamo mai che l'attuale Gran Bretagna non fai completamente conquistata dai romani, al pari di vaste aree della attuale Francia e Germania. Purtroppo la Storia la scrive chi vince o meglio i presunti vincitori. Io sono italiano: anche in Italia abbiamo avuti esempi immortali di popoli e genti che hanno strenuamente combattuto i romani. Lunga vita al popolo sannita! SAFINEIS!!!!!!
Grazie Pino. Sono totalmente d'accordo. Buona settimana. Saluti dall'Irlanda. :
@@KeithOSullivanmusic Grazie ancora a te. Una terra, della gente, che non ha memoria di ciò che è passato sui suoi fiumi, sulla propria terra, sotto i propri cieli non può avere nessun futuro. A proposito dei Romani: la gente dovrebbe leggere di più le immortali parole di Calgaco. Ciao. Saluti dal Sannio.
@Pino Pietropaolo. Coloro che riscrivono la storia sono quelli che cercano di rubare il futuro. Noi europei non possiamo mai dimenticare da dove veniamo, tutti noi siamo i discendenti di un popolo che ha combattuto per il nostro futuro, la nostra terra. Ci viene detto che non abbiamo Cultura, quando è chiaro a coloro che hanno gli occhi di vedere che le culture collettive europee non hanno rivali. Ogni angolo del continente ha dato origine a una cultura unica. Ho sempre amato l'Italia, una cultura ricca, una storia orgogliosa, un popolo onorevole.
Le mie scuse per il mio italiano sto usando il traduttore di google. Saluto dall'Irlanda.
@@KeithOSullivanmusic il tuo italiano rasenta la perfezione. Salutami quella meravigliosa terra e quella meravigliosa gente che è TUTTA l'Irlanda; purtroppo non ho mai avuto il piacere e l'onore di visitarla ma è nel mio cuore e nei miei sogni
@Pino. Grazie amico mio. Viva l'Italia, viva l'Irlanda, viva l'Europa e tutta la sua gente.
Caesar's legionaries fighting against Vercingetorix were actually mainly other Celts: newly romanized Celts from Cisalpine Gaul (nowadays' Northern Italy). In fact, he governed over the province of Cisalpine Gaul (and the one of Transalpine Gaul, being nowadays' coastal Southern France), and recruited legionaries from these provinces.
Gloriosa Europa
wonderful music and sound as always epic:)
Thanks Gio. Sorry for the late reply, I took a few days away from the internet.
I hope that you are keeping well my friend.
I belive that many including boudica used this on the battle field not for music but to communicate for miles. Word takes time to reach thousands but a specific sound travels well. at the speed of sound much quicker A kind of phone if you will. Possible why the instrument is so tall. to be seen and heard. But also used in peace as communication between villages. Would be intresting to see how it sounds over maybe a sports event crowd and if you can comunicate clearly over the sound of battle and if so how far before you need another horn.
I would love to have a carnyx.
Vercingetorix Will Be Surely The Name Of One Of My Children

The real shame is the ancient Celts were amazing personal warriors often hired by peoples like the Greeks as mercenaries but they're preferred method of 1v1 honor bound personal combat wasn't effective against testudo formations of men throwing Pilum, impaling their shields turning them ineffective, they were duelists and often would send just one man their champion ahead of the army to meet the enemy's champion and duel to decide the fate of the entire battle.
Very nice
Thank you very much Jiminy Cricket. :)

I'm currently working for a mod for a video game. Would you consider composing some scores for it? Loved this music. It's set in the Dark Ages, so not dissimilar to this.
Sounds interesting. Open for discussion. Thanks for listening.

Hello Keith! I was looking for some info on your music and licences. I wanted to use it some of my videos, but not without your permission or licence. I sometimes buy music from independent composers and use it, but I do not want to pay some kind of service created by big company. I make metal detecting videos, where I document my archaeological prospections for local museums and archaeological institutions. I find a lot of celtic and germanic artefacts, but recently I ran out of good music to use. I profit from my videos (not much, but I get occasional donations) so, if you'll have your music available for purchase and use in videos, I would be glad to support you. I mostly buy music from composers on Bandcamp. But I am not sure how benefitial is this platform. I just know a lot of independent composers and bands use it.
Hi Carpathian. Feel free to use my music on your channel, without a fee or a license. Your channel looks cool, I often thought about buying a metal detector myself. I love the History of the European people, and am very interested in Historical artifacts, they tell a story that needs to be told. I own all of the music on my channel, I am not affiliated with a record label. So, you should not have a problem on RUclips using my music, and if you do get in touch with me, or point them to this comment where I grant you the permission to use it. Best wishes to you, happy hunting. Greetings to you from Ireland. :)
@@KeithOSullivanmusic Thank you so much. I hope you'll release more stuff in the future. I listen to your music a lot at work. It will be a pleasure to have it as soundtrack when I tell a story of an artefact!
@@CarpathianCZ I gave up on RUclips ten months ago, and am not sure that I will be uploading again here. I will start a channel on another platform soon, as I am working on new music currently. When I do, I will upload at least one video on RUclips, and include a link where I can be found. My advice to you would be to download any of my music that you like, as I feel that they could delete my channel any day they choose to. We live in a different World now than the one we were born into, and it is only getting crazier, the rules change every day, and it is all too obvious on this platform. I hope you uncover something really great. :)
Greetings from Segovesus descendants from Boihemum...

What film or documentary is this from?
It's from a 2001 film called Druids, also called Vercingétorix. If you type it in here on RUclips you'll probably find it free to watch.
the gods are starting to make a come back step aside Odin coz Cernunnos is a coming
Parallels with Crazy Horse, Cochise, and Sitting Bull.
Do you have any where i can listen to or download your music besides RUclips
No, sorry about that Ravenna I don't. I keep meaning to start a channel on another platform, where would you recommend ? I gave up uploading to RUclips almost nine months ago, it's worse than Facebook at this stage. All the main platforms are now conformist garbage.
SoundCloud or pandora would be a good start to get your music spread farther afield so to speak

Remeber all the great warriors that fought against rome for freedom. Spartacus Hannibal fitigern Alaric boudica Attila and more.
Yeah sure. Whatever you say bruh

Thanks.
Im also proud of my gaul blood
Same here we sucferd so much from the romans but in thw end we fought and fought never gave up thank the Gallic tribes and the gauls for fighting for our future and people and thank king Clovis who led a rebellion against rome and what is now modern day France.
Wake the fuck up France! France Wake up! France Wake up! France Wake up!
French may be Greek, Italians, Germans, Dutch and Celtic descendants, but Gauls are the icon of France...
It's a shame that France is now a shadow of its former glory
Yes, Vercingétorix is for France his "father" the first unificator of France, like Decebalus for Romania for exemple.

Is your music available for purchase & download somewhere? Bandcamp maybe?
Not at present, but I will be working on it very soon. I'm just working on finishing off a Celtic and a Nordic Album, then I will make them available for purchase. Thanks for listening.
sounds great. well, I've subscribed and will hopefully not miss any update on this. I absolutely hate ripping music from YT videos.
Thanks Andreas, it's the way things have gone, it's easier now to download any music you want for free. That's the main reason that the music industry has collapsed, and the reason there's really no money to be made for musicians anymore. You just have to accept it, move on, and make music because you love to do it. And hope that what you do is appreciated by those who listen. Have a great week Andreas.

Romans: the curse of the ancient times... I sometimes wonder what our world would be like if Hannibal, Vercingetorix or someone else would have been victorious against Rome. A world without Christianity and Islam it would be... But...it seems that mankind always finds a reason to make war.
