    Hitler also disapproved of the pseudoarchaeological projects which Himmler organized through his Ahnenerbe organization, such as excavations of pre-historic Germanic sites: "Why do we call the whole world's attention to the fact that we have no past?

    Celtic mythology, because I have Gaulish ancestry. Sadly we only know a few things about their culture, so I'm interrested by Arthur story and Irish myths. Maybe certain elements are common to all Celts, even in Gaul ? Except some Divinities are the same, like Lug, it is difficult to be sure...

    there are many parallels from our surviving gaulish material and later welsh and irish traditions, take characters like Mapon ap Modron, and compare that to Maponnos mapos Matrona from Gaul, or the club, and pot wielding, bearded Dagda, compared to the statues of the mallet, and olla wielding bearded Sucellos, both of whom appear to have some relation to a death goddess and fertility.

    Right, and Gaulish Ogmios was Irish Ogma. But Druid class present in Britain, Ireland and Gauls was absent in Iberian Peninsula, I believe, but I'ill verify that soon.
    There are some Gaulish legends very specific to certain areas like the foundation of Lug Dunon (Lyon)

    Greco-Roman and Norse/Germanic mythology,because I know about them most.
    But I'm also interested in other European pantheon such as Celtic,Slavic,Baltic and Finnish,but there'te no book about them in China,except a few books about Celtic mythology(more than a half of them focused on Arthurian legend) and Chinese translation of Kalevala.

    You can find everything on internet..
    The interest for China began with Marco Polo in Italy and then Europe.. His book "Il milione" was the most sold book for centuries after the Bible..

    Greek/roman feels closest from the ones you mentioned. Bulgarian folklore seems like a healthy mix of Slavic folklore and Thracian folklore (which in its turn was influenced by Greek one). There are many old holidays, recorded as Bulgarian in the Middle ages, who are proven to have Roman origin like Rosalii.
