Goths and Vandals were Celts? La Tenne was a Celtic stronghold in ancient times. It is in Switzerland. The Austrians, a Germanic people are said to be made of seven tribes, the majority of which are Celtic in origin. The Celts were once all across Europe into India. The Influence of their art and design is seen strongly in Turkey, and Afghanistan. They traded with the Babylonians a great deal as well, giving them steel about 3000 BC. (Steel implements and weapons are known to be found in Celtic culture from 5000 BC by tree ring dating) Now Alaric who led the Visigoths to conquest of Rome was the grandson of Atilla the Hun. Who were the Huns? They were Asiatic but I do not think Mongoloid. Many Asiatic tribes are white skinned and blonde. (Cossacks, Scythians) The Finns and the Magyars were perhaps one such race who migrated from the east through Hungary into Finland. Language says that Romans, Norse, Germans, Celts, Greeks, Persians, Indians, Armenian, Phrygian, Kurd, Goths, Angles, Frisian, Dutch, Slavs, Tocharian and Anatolians are from the same stock. Some ranges of hue today but similarities are seen broadly.
An old Spanish insult for poor manners is "how celto-iberian of you!" The Celts and the Jews herded Marino sheep for Phillip of Spain to escape persecution, as a sheep herder could not be touched, for wool was of that much importance to the economy of Spain. The people of Spain are basically on the top Dravidians with some Moorish (Taureg) culture, and the people of the hinterland are Celts and and older Iberian tribes. These same Iberians once inhabited Ireland before the Celtic Invasion.
