Celts
Celtic warriors carried a long trumpet called a carnyx. The ancient Celts lived in central and western Europe and fought against the Greeks and Romans. They held four great festivals a year - Imbolc, Beltain, Lughnasa and Samhain. Celtic festivals included feasting, dancing, and lighting bonfires. Sometimes humans were sacrificed to the gods.
