Re the native German people - undoubtedly there are question marks over where and how all of Europe came to be populated. But it seems that the Celts were a warrior nomadic band of people, yet highly intelligent, skilled and had a language of their own. They invaded countries at will, took over large areas of land, settled their own people but they had huge armies who were constantly on the move.

Amazing work, impossible to forget
mcneillm: AFAIK Christ was actually proven to have been around

Isambard Kingdom Brunell for me. Built the Great Western Railway, Clifden Suspension Bridge, SS Great Britain (the worlds first metal ship and it's still afloat today) and of course The Great Eastern, a ship which was so big he had trouble launching it and it killed him in the end. These are only a few of his great achievements which sparked the industrial revolution around the world.

The name "Jesus" is an Anglicization of the Greek ??s??? (Iesous), itself a Hellenization of the Hebrew ????? (Yehoshua) or Hebrew-Aramaic ???? (Yeshua), meaning "YHWH rescues". "Christ" is a title derived from the Greek ???st?? (Christós), meaning the "Anointed One," which corresponds to the Hebrew-derived "Messiah".

there was definitely migration of celts around 300 bc but no-one is actually sure they came to ireland in any significant numbers at that time.
the ir are referenced in greek writing from the second millenium bc though so your king might have been called ir but he didn't originate the name.
apparently british celts are thought to have originated in the basque country which is also where the last neandertalls ended up...
