Who, Where, and What Were the Celts?

Article Abstract:

Celt is a terminology usually associated with the inhabitants of continental Europe and the British Isles during the prehistoric Iron Age. However, its adjective form had been used indiscriminately for medieval, early modern and modern cultural practices. The word is traceable to Herodotos' writings circa 5 B.C. in Greece. Books written about the Celts have enjoyed a wide readership among those interested in their metaphysical practices. This popularity serves as an effective means for attracting readers to more scholarly works on the Celts.

Under downtown Prague

Article Abstract:

The Czech Republic's biggest excavation on the three-and-a-half acre site of a new shopping and office complex in downtown Prague is revealing hitherto unknown facts about the city's early medieval history. One of the city's most fascinating findings is the partial remains of a twelfth-century Romanesque palace that once graced the city's first suburban development.

Where was Jesus born?

Article Abstract:

Most Christians accept the story of Jesus Christ's birth in a manger in Bethlehem in Judea, but theologians often question biblical accounts of the Nativity. Archaeologists are doing the same after archaeological evidence, found in the 1990s, seems to indicate that Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Galilee, not in Judea.
