Flying ships that gave off smoke and descended from the sky?
Sensationalists love this story. Ufologists and ET lovers are delirious, but historians have a much more rational explanation.
The following happens. After finding the sacred land, dominated by demons, a people arrived that the Celts call gods. According to the accounts, this people would have taught them to read, write and all the sciences they knew, including heart operations.
Legend has it that the ships would have descended from the skies, surrounded by a lot of mist (fog or smoke) and that these ships would have descended right in the middle of the earth. And out of him came the gods, who brought so much good news. For anyone who reads it, it's even difficult not to think about etezinhos arriving, with their ships making smoke, but the historian's explanation is convincing, let's see.
First of all, in the language of the Celts the word sky also meant north. So much so that they always walked towards the sky going to their island (they walked north until they found England). So the ships would have come from the north and not from the sky... but what about the smoke? It is said that sometimes it was customary for colonists to burn the ships as soon as they reached land to be colonized, so that those who regretted would not flee and return, so the Celts would have seen the ships arriving from the north amid the smoke. As for writing, they say it is similar to the runic writing of the Norse, and it is very likely that it is.
Heart transplantation in 1000 BC?
Well, the Celts always come up with something impossible to explain, be it Stonehenge, the druid sciences or many others. Maybe that's why historians don't like to study them very much, because it's not possible to explain everything about them.
One of these mysteries is a document written around 1000 AD, but which refers to a legend that must have been at least 2,000 years old. This legend refers to a queen, Boadicea, who was a great heroine as she had the ability to bear many, many children, several at once. This was because he bathed while pregnant in the cup of life. It so happens that one day, at the advanced age of 30, her heart stops beating. Luckily a druid is by her side and soon takes action.
First he makes her breathe mists so she doesn't feel pain, then he takes a slave and makes her breathe the same mists, then he cuts the slave's chest, takes out her heart, cuts the queen's chest and takes out the heart her. Finally he puts the slave's heart in the queen, sews it with golden threads washed in that same vessel of life, casts small rays in the heart and it begins to beat again, for in the end he closes the queen's chest with the same golden threads.
What is spectacular in this narrative is not simply the idea of transplantation, which as far as I know has never appeared in any other culture before that, but the technique, the knowledge that it was necessary to end the pain, that it was necessary to sew, that this sewing had to be done. with hygiene and don't ask me how, it was necessary to shoot some rays (shock) in the heart for it to start beating again.
Some say that swallowing the mists to not feel pain is very similar to our anesthesia today, I think it's an exaggeration to say, but the idea alone is genius for a period when the Greeks had no idea what was written. Saying whether such an operation was carried out or not is very difficult, of course they would never accept that this would be possible until proven with great certainty, but some indications say yes.
First the death of the slave, in a culture of the time it was more than common for the slave to die to save the queen. Second, 1000 years before that, that is, 2000 BC. , the Egyptians already performed operations on the brain, the Incas also learned to perform operations on the brain, of course most of them went wrong, but some went well, and we have at least 3 cases, between Egyptians and Incas, that the operation on the brain it was a success.
But in the case of the brain, you can see why a hole has to be made in the skull, there was never any evidence that the Celts could have actually performed such an operation.
Who were the Celts ?
There is a question that every historian or student of history asks:How is a people as important and interesting as the Celts generally forgotten?
The Celts were the first civilized people in Europe. They arrived on this continent along with the first wave of colonization still in 4000 BC. They stood out from other peoples who arrived at the same time because they believed in a promised land and went in search of it. In 1800 BC they already had their culture and territory fully established, while the Greeks and Romans never dreamed of being born (and some say they are Celtic colonies).
They occupied the region of Germany, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, France and England. They weren't very calm and peaceful, to have an idea of how warriors they were, for a boy to be considered a man he had to pass a test that consisted of leaving the city where he lived, leaving his region, and bringing the head of any person who was not Celtic. Only with his head in his hand was a tattoo made on his body that said he was now a grown man. ... By the way, in terms of Celtic rituals, there are many, much more interesting ones, click here to find out more.
They came to develop a writing, it is so complex that today there are few who dare to unravel it. Writing was considered magical, and only its priests learned it, these were the famous druids. They invented beautiful legends, which are among the most famous nowadays, such as the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Tristan and Isolde, in addition to having invented almost all fairy tales (which were modified with the time )
Without a doubt, they were a people with a lot of science combined with a lot of mysticism. There are practically inexplicable reports, such as the one of a heart transplant operation, performed in 1000 BC, and the one of flying ships that gave off smoke as they descended and landed in the middle of the fields of England. They used the Stonehenge monument with great perfection, which they say they didn't build... another mystery among the many that surround it.
They had a very peculiar family structure, they considered themselves animals, they believed in an infinity of demon gods, by the way, did you know that the nice little elves with their pots of gold are an invention of the Celts, but in this story they are not funny at all, they are terribly mean and sarcastic.
And in a culture with so many legends, so many evil beings, they also had great heroes... and be amazed, the greatest of these heroes was a woman, and her greatest heroic act was being able to generate several children a year, 7 to 8, during every year. And with heroes wanting to defeat demons, they had very interesting sacred artifacts, there are 4 of them that influenced practically our entire imagination.
The French kings refused to accept the division of the world between Spain and Portugal, defined in 1491 by the Treaty of Tordesillas. King Francis I financed the voyages of Jacques Cartier, who explored the Saint Lawrence River in Canada (1534-1543). With the last missions of Champlain, that territ
