Ancient stone walls & dams have been discovered 9 metres underwater off the coast of Île de Sein in Brittany, France, dating to roughly 5950–3650 BCE & marking a key Mesolithic–Neolithic transition.
These granite structures likely served as large fish traps & possibly as protective sea walls, implying organised, semi-sedentary coastal communities long before many famous megaliths on land.
Research suggests that ris…

Many versions (mostly French) of the story of Tristan and Iseult are known, likely derived from a Welsh original. It’s possible that parts of that original tale can be reconstructed from various Welsh texts, particularly the Triads. “Drystan, son of Tallwch” is mentioned in several collections of Triads: The Twenty-Four Knights of Arthur’s Court (15th century) claims that he was one of Arthur’s retainers and a shapes…

Excerpt from "What Makes You Pagan" by CE
"Animism is the foundation of Paganism. Fundamentally, first and foremost, we are animals living on Earth among other animals. Everything else is downstream from there. Our freedom to identify as unique ethnic groups, right to protect and preserve our identities, our shared genetics, and the cultural practice that bond us together are next on the pyramid of hierarchies.

Le Collectif de la Roche Aux Fées (for which I recorded my song « Revenir aux Pierres » 🧚), created in 2022 to protect one of the biggest dolmens of Europe from a touristic destruction (desacralisation) project, just informed me that the entire project has been given up for good after 3 years of fighting against it. 🗿⚡️take that in the ass with your compass Jean Luc 😆🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥

Maps showing (1) The peoples of Novempopulania, and (2) The Roman provincial divisions of Gaul, with Gallia Aquitania shown in bluish green. ⚜️🇫🇷🏳️
As Caesar tells is, the region of Gaul consisted of three divisions: Gaul proper, or “Celtic Gaul”, Belgic Gaul, and Aquitaine. In the case of Aquitaine, it took its name from a non-Celtic, non-Indo-European people who’d been native to western Europe since remote prehist…

The man-headed horse is an emblematic and fascinating motif found on many Celtic coins, particularly those minted by the peoples of the Atlantic façade of ancient Gaul.
The androcephalous horse is depicted as a horse with a human male head, lacking a torso or arms. Unlike the centaur, it retains its entire equine body. Its masculine attributes, includ…

Electrum stater of the Andes/Andecavi tribe of Gaul, found somewhere near Angers, France; 1st century B.C. 🏳️
The Gallic state of the Andes re-emerged in medieval times with its same tribal name, as the French County of Anjou. It retained it’s old capital of Iuliomagus Andecavorum, now Angers. By then however, the Angevin people were fully Romanized and retained no memory or semblance of their Gallic roots. The orig…

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
