Default Kernavė - the old Lithuania capital of celtic Cernunos?





Authors A. Luchtanas and J. Sazonovas.



According to R. Sidrys.

Valstybinis Kernavës archeologijos ir istorijos muziejus-rezervatas (Kernavë) - archaeological museum of Kernavė

The name Kernavė is supposed to have origin from the old pagan Baltic God - Kernius. This sounds like Kernunos, but traces of Keltic languages in Lithuanian are very week.
Lithuania is a country of thousand hillforts starting from the bronze and iron ages.
Some battles against hun tribe Akacyri and later - against crusaders vwere very sharp in Kernavė

In the beginning of July in Kernave the days of archaeology will start and 20 thousand of tourists during those days are expected like last year. Kernavė is 40 km from Lithuanian capital Vilnius.

Welcome!
