You see…
About 4000 years ago, copper ingots were used to manufacture tools and weapons. These were created in a form that could be wrapped round limbs or the neck for convenience of carrying.
These ingots became a symbol of wealth. They were standard sizes, used for trading.
When bronze took over from copper, the tradition continued, and the wrapped ingots of bronze became Torcs. We also see smaller bronze rings that look like torcs appear at the time for smaller transactions.
The iron age comes along and bronze is no longer required for tool and weapon making, and iron is also ugly, gray and rusts. Instead, the celts switched to gold for their now symbolic ingot torcs and wealthy people traded gold torcs as money for large transactions, but mainly as the symbols of wealth they now are.
This is where the Celts turned gay.
They started making torcs out of gold wire, similar to the techniques used by female textile workers who made cordage using tools called Lucets.
Well… the torc producers, used women to produce the gold cord, the techniques are identical to the textile production of celtic knotwork.
These women became independently wealthy as they were producing what was essentially the money of the day. This in turn elevated their status with in Celtic society, giving them more equal social status to men.
The dodecahedrons were made from bronze because gold wire wears out the wood and bone typically used to make a lucet. The dodecahedron is, simply a Lucet. Which is why they are found in women's graves.
Women in Celtic / Gaulish society, just as they are today, were hypergamous, desiring only Chad. Tall, good looking and wealthy gold torc wearing Chads. The rest of the men of the time had to make do.
It's why the Celts turned gay, and why the big Ghey is increasingly common today.
This is also why the Romans could so easily conquer the Gauls? Who but thePost too long. Click here to view the full text.
