Post The Celtic War Horn

Quote:
The Carnyx was once common throughout much of Europe, although only five fragments are known to us, of which Deskford is the finest. It flourished between 300BC and 200AD, and found widespread use in Britain, France, parts of Germany, eastwards to Romania, and beyond. Bands of Celtic mercenaries took it on their travels; Carnyces were present at the attack on the Greek sanctuary at Delphi in 279BC; Carnyces defied Julius Caesar in Gaul; Carnyces faced Claudius when he invaded Britain.

OK. It's fixed now. Try again. It sounds a bit new age. I guess their music is influenced by world and ethnic music.

Nice link. Although at times I did expect Crocodile Dundee to start talking through the music

Yeah. They use didgeridoo, that's their "tolerant" part I suppose. They'd only use protohistoric irish instruments. Nice project anyway.

Those old Celts were very noisy people, for example the bag-pipes I suffer round here in Summer; and now the horns, well there is none near at least.

They should be deaf before getting old.

Bagpipe is a somewhat recent and not Celtic instrument per se; it was in use all over Europe in the Middle Age till the 17th century. It's just that that tradition has been maintened in the celtic areas.

As far as I remember, the earliest bagpipes were found in Egypt.
Perhaps there is something in those Milesian stories afterall. It seems that the bagpipes exist everwhere the Celts are reputed to have been

In the Roman sources there are frequent references to the use of horns, cornu, by Gauls, Celtiberians and other Celtic peoples in Spain.

I have been reading a book called 'Black spark, white fire.' I haven't finished reading it yet, and haven't quite made my mind up about the authors approach and theory (he does seem very naive in European history and "anti" European)

But, the similarities between the Egyptians and Celts is remarkable.
One notable similarity is the insistence upon the priestly caste to study for 20 years.
With the stone structures in Europe pre-dating Egypt, have people never thought that the Europeans may have influenced the Egyptians?


P.S. I was in a Metal band as a teenager called "the Carnyx"

:dfu We rocked!
