Ancient Burial Mounds?

[Celtic Frost]

I keep running into these large mounds that appear to be Celtic Burial Mounds or Tumulus. Anyone able to confirm that this is what they are? I'm pretty sure the Celtic Culture was there centuries earlier.

Well done...first TIME I have Read on someone actually CATCHING onto that in this Game! Im no KCD DEV...but I feel you HIT IT right on the Nose (what ELSE could the Mounds between Rattay/Ledectko be?)

Now you mention it, I think outside of Merhojed or Samopesh I'd seen a little mound with some rocks on it and there's a weird wooden construction South-West of Talmberg. I'd started paying attention to it and there's a lot of ancient and pagan references everywhere. Like the columns with faces on them, I know that's pagan. I even found them in a sideroom of a church, haha.
But as a potentially interesting point, the last time Celts were dominant there AFAIK was 1500 years earlier until Germanic tribes started moving in and only in early medieval times Slavic ones came to the fore.

Here in denmark we got about 85000 Burial mounts.
They where build across europe from about 3900 BC and until as late as the 10th century in northren europe.

So it make sense that they are in the game. and I would not be at all surprised if the mounts in the game actually exist today in that location.

Yes of course it makes sense. I don't know too much about the particular history of the area in KCD, but in some regions tumuli not only disappeared through erosion but in other regions some were destroyed when outlaws made camp in or around it or they were deemed a home to evil spirits. I live in an area with a few tumuli and otherwise nothing of the sort but then to the North and the South you almost stumble over dolmens and other megalithic structures. So unlucky.
If they're that old it's interesting they were preserved through different civilisations since at some point the Indo-European replaced or mingled with the older type of native European, eh?
