    Sacrilege That's not going to be a popular opinion. I'm really hoping these questions will be cleared up in the next few years. A lot of people here might be surprised to learn that a lot of Irish don't think they are Celts now anyway with some of the articles that have come out over the last 10 years.

    Personally I think being the most pure original Bell Beaker people (at least in the British Isles) is something to be proud of.
    Spoiler!

    I've seen so many twists and turns over the last few years I'm up for anything. Not sure what we are anymore.

    I think Proto-Celts were Northern Eutopean genetically.
