Re: [tied] Gundestrup

Torsten-
Indic-speaking Cimmerians on their way to the British Isles? Strabo
mentions that some thought the Cimmerians and Cimbri were the same, but
this is probably just due to the similarity of the names. Do we even
know much about the Cimmerians or their language?
One encyclopedia from my old work said that some Cimmerians migrated and
settled in Eastern Europe in the 5th century B.C., and I always thought
they resembled the Scythians in culture and appearance.

I've heard it said that they spoke an Iranian and/or Thracian language,
could they have been somewhat of a hodgepodge of peoples? I've never
heard of a Cimmerian migrationto Northern or Western Europe, though.

Would love your response- Michael
