The only indisputable facts (for now) are:
1. Only in the ancient region of Tartessos and Turdetania, and around or border regions, territories have names or Celtici Keltikę, Celtis, Celtica, referenced with these variants in different sources.
2. Only in the ancient region of Tartessos and Turdetania in the current Peńaflor (Sevilla), we have a city that minted its own coins with the name of Celtitania, ie "Country / nation of the Celts".
3. Only in the ancient region of Tartessos and Turdetania, and around or border regions, the earliest known Celtic languages are. According to philologists, derived directly from the old Indo-European.
When the ancient authors said what the country or the lands of a particular nation, were precise, and no archaeologist doubt that the Etruscans were not the Etruria, the Phoenicians were not from Phoenicia, which the Carthaginians were not of Carthage, the Greeks were not Greek, and the Egyptians were not of Egypt, that the Germans were not Germania, Gaul the Gauls and the Romans in Rome ... So, why this would not be the same for the Celtic ?.
For the same reason, then, the Celts can only be natives of the country or Celtic nation, in the same way that the Phoenicians were the Phoenician, Roman Rome, the Germans of Germany, and the Gauls of Gaul.
So if the Celts were native (indigenous) Celtic, and the oldest authors place in the Celtic Iberia and Aquitaine (between Kynesios Narbonensse and Lusitania). Then the Celts were mainly mayoritariamente--and Iberia. What it is confirmed by additional data that Iberia retains the ancient Celtic language known in the West (structurally more than one or two thousand years earlier than any known in the rest of Western Europe and insular Celtic languages, and with unquestionable exitencia test in Iberia (specifically in the ancient region of Tartessos and Turdetania, and around) as the Celtici name, Keltikë and Celtitania, all translatable as "nation or country of the Celts.
So we ethnonyms Celtic in full Turdetania Area, and knowing that the oldest sources claim that CILBICENI were tartessios leads me to consider the hypothesis that the true indigenous substratum of all this turdetano-tartésica region was Celtic, and therefore the Celtic same tartessios be at least mostly ethnic component.
As can be seen, support this hypothesis about the possible Celtic origin (or at least an important component in Celtic the dominant ethnic group of taertessio world) and numismatic true written primary sources, and none of them allows me to hold another ethnic affiliation for old tartessios. My hypothesis is integrated into a theory that I have been advocating for more than fifteen years, which aims to identify the "Land of the Celts" or "nation of the Celts" or "region of the Celts" with Iberia, and in particular with the former ago Tartessos and Turdetania region, and around) is much documented (in terms of primary sources) established that the traditional theory that places the cradle of the Celts out of Iberia, based primarily on highly speculative archaeological criteria, and especially in the argument of force, but that force of argument.
