To me the Celts were brilliant people and shouldn't of died out. For those who don't know, Celts were people all over Europe but the last few were in Britain, mainly because of Romans, Saxons and Christianity.
In a sense, a lot of people are. Especially in the U.S. Hell, half of the U.S. can claim Germanic ancestry, and an equally good portion has Irish blood. And Celtic roots in a lot of things stays with us, probably because in the Middle Ages learning was preserved in monasteries in Ireland while the rest of Europe fell into darkness.

Celtic history is interesting. The Celtic church of Ireland was supposedly already christian when the Catholic church decided to convert them..........oh, btw, I'm not Celtic.....Just Italian, German, and Native American....oh and a little French....
Well, I mean more than usual. Rome did move into Britain and other portions of Europe, but those places maintained some measure of cultural history and tradition. Gaul really didn't.

Rome moved into Britain but they never really conquered it, hence it maintained most of it's pagan ways, although it was effected greatly by the Roman's most of it's heritage probably stems from a more Saxon background.
