Mines, Temples & Parklands

Hidden women
Charlemagne’s celtic domain

Recent finds shine a new light on Charlemagne. The head of the Holy Roman Empire was not holy, never Roman, and no emperor. Instead, he and his family all founded secular abbeys - including his mother, grandmother, and sister - in the days before abbeys excluded women. While that might be nice to know, it is also crucial to confront what really happened in the past in order to deal with the world now. Iron Age artifacts are showing that women helped Celtic culture run at full capacity.

FEMMES CACHEE
Une histoire de l’Europe
des Celtes & de la Liberté

En entrant dans le monde des Celtes, réfléchissez au rôle des femmes et à la façon dont ce rôle a changé sous l’influence de Rome et de la religion. Le savoir-faire exquis associé aux femmes préchrétiennes ajoute une dimension fascinante. Pendant des siècles, cet art - ainsi que les femmes elles-mêmes - a été largement condamné par les autorités religieuses.

S’il vous plaît être ouvert d’esprit. Une nouvelle preuve des compétences techniques et communicatives étonnantes des Celtes doit surmonter les stéréotypes de longue date des hordes barbares. On sait maintenant que les liens familiaux d’origine se prolongent jusqu’à nos jours. Les populations actuelles ont plus que jamais besoin de l’ancienne administration celtique du pays et des sages lois de la nature.

SKRITE ŽENSKE
Zgodovina Evrope, Keltov in Svobode

Nove najdbe zahtevajo nov pogled na ženske v evropski zgodovini. Vse prepričljivejše zakopani zakladi kažejo, da so stari Kelti v Evropi cenili ženske na edinstven način, kar pa ne velja za poznejše imperije. Arheologija odkriva velike razlike med tem družinsko usmerjenim prebivalstvom in rimskim cesarstvom, se je širilo z osvajanjem, zasedbo in zasužnjevanjem keltskih ljudstev. Za zadnjih 2000 letih je za Rim značilna institucionalizirana moška dominacija.
