In the Beginning
Description
The mysteries of the Celts are made more complex by the absence of ancient Celtic written records: this shrouds the cultural significance of this race of people in folklore. From the cradle Celtic society in central Europe, to central Turkey, the Celts populate a vast area in the ancient world. This film explores these people of strong religious beliefs who are associated with Stonehenge and Callanish, and the complex social structure they lived under.
