Good one. Bit harsh not to accept “gun” though

Also, I don’t think that version of Celtic history is quite correct. Celtic culture spread out from a region around what is now Southern Germany and Austria. It wasn’t really a fixed ethnic group. The culture spread south (possibly through Serbia, and as far as Anatolia) and simultaneously north, reaching the British Isles last.

Interesting quiz though, I like it!
