They were warring tribes who were battleful amongst themselves as well as inter-tribal war. They were not centrally governed. The Celts brought iron working, iron ploughs and metal swords, horses, wheels and chariots - all these things gave them an instant superiority over the native tribes.

One of the mysteries is how it was built at all with the technology of the time. Another is its purpose. It appears to function as a kind on astronomical clock and we know it was used by the Druids for ceremonies marking the passing of the seasons. It appears in number of novels. These days it is not only the interest of tourists but is also a gathering point of certain minority groups. It is now fenced off to protect it from damage. 3.

Its Instagram account is followed by 3.5m people, lives of its members have become a kind of tv-show, where the world spies over their every step and the pressure is being added by hundreds of rules they have to follow. Either you love them or agree with the anti-monarch stream, the fact that the huge part of British tax income is spent on the royal upkeep is undeniable. The carefree life of the winsdors costs Britain $450 million per year. Yet the poll carried out in 2013 showed that the percentage of the society support of a Queen is 75%.
