00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,279
Ancient history is the period of history that comes after prehistory. It started 3,500 years

2
00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:17,760
before Christ, when writing was invented in Mesopotamia. During ancient history different

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:23,239
groups of people lived in the Iberian Peninsula. The Iberians were one of these groups. They

4
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:29,679
settled in the south and east of the peninsula. They were organizing tribes with a chief. They

5
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:34,200
They built their towns at the top of hills, with walls for protection.

6
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,439
They were hill forts.

7
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:39,560
Their houses were rectangular in shape.

8
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,640
Iberians were farmers, craftsmen, warriors, and traders.

9
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,340
They used their own money for trading, and they also developed their own writing.

10
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:56,119
At that time, there was another group of people in the Iberian Peninsula, the Celts.

11
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:59,679
They lived in the north, west, and center of it.

12
00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:04,519
They were organized in tribes, and their towns had walls too.

13
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:06,760
They were called forts.

14
00:01:07,099 --> 00:01:10,400
Their houses were in rectangular but circular in shape.

15
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,939
Celts were farmers and very good at working with iron and bronze.

16
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,939
But they stood out because they were very good warriors.

17
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,500
Unlike the Iberians, Celts didn't have money and didn't know how to write.
