The Celts were an ancient civilization that first mastered iron and dominated Northwest Europe. The Celts lacked a sense of national identity and lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle, leaving behind simple homesteads. Despite being illiterate in their own languages, the Celts survived into modern times, with their languages persisting in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Brittany.
