Moesgaards Verdenshistorier: Kelterne – Europas glemte fortid

Who were the Celts, really – and what traces of them can we find in Europe and Denmark? In this mini-documentary, Xenia and Jonas follow in the footsteps of the Celts across Europe: from the salt mines of the Austrian Alps to one of the first European cities. Along the way, they explore the Celts’ worldview – including through one of the most significant archaeological finds in Danish history, the Gundestrup Cauldron. Was the influence of the Celts so great that it reached all the way to Denmark? And what traces of them can we still find in our culture today? Xenia Pauli Jensen is an archaeologist and senior researcher at Moesgaard Museum. Jonas Bransholm is the host. #celts #gundestrupcauldron #worldhistory Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 00:31 – Where can we find traces of the Celts? 01:18 – The Gundestrup Cauldron: A key piece of the puzzle 03:15 – What does the Gundestrup Cauldron show?
