The people are from Galicia, Northwestern Spain and these people are considered Celts. Galicians speak Castilian Spanish today but as early as the 9th century they spoke Galician-Portuguese.
The Iberian seafarers made a transatlantic voyage from Europe to Brazil. They canoed their way westward on the dense Amazon jungle river to Kuelap - Chachapoyas in Peru around 2,000 years ago. They are considered the first Europeans to arrive in the Americas. Galician seafarers were part of the mighty Roman Empire at the time. It's likely that the seafarers were Galicians and Romans sailing on board the Roman ocean vessels.
Were Celts a seafaring culture? Did other Celtic groups follow them as well? The Celts are found throughout Europe as north as the Scandinavian region or the Arctic region, Iberian region to the west, Northern Italy to the south, Balkan territory to the east. They are found in some parts of the Near East.

Basic Data on Galician Language
Galician is a Romance language, related to other languages, like Portuguese, Castilian, Catalan, Italian, Romanian or Sardinian, that originated in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula over 2000 years ago. Galician is still the language of most of the population in Galicia.
It is spoken by some 2.2 million people of the total 2.8 million people registered in the Galician census. There is a homogeneous geographic distribution in the use of the language. It is not recorded any territorial area where Galician is not spoken.
This high level of speakers puts Galician in an exceptional situation in comparison with other minority languages, and shows its validity in all kinds of communicative situations in modern life.
Are "Aryans" Indigenous to India? The Archaeological Evidence

Join us as we head to New Mexico to check out several rocks that have been carved into by an unknown source. These rocks were discovered in the 1920's but have yet to be determined on who carved them. So who do you think did it?
This figure scraped into the desert crust is referred to as an intaglio or negative geoglyph. A negative geoglyph is formed by removing part of the natural ground surface to create differently coloured or textured ground while a positive geoglyph is formed by adding an arrangement of materials on the ground. The man spearing a fish is said to be the god, Kumastamo who drove his spear into the ground carving out the Colorado River. This is part of a much larger system of giant desert figures that multiple tribes consider a sacred viewshed, or undisturbed space between mountains. There were many tribes that came here to trade, live, sing & worship over many generations. This site consists of one human figure geoglyph with a spear in his hand & a few other recognizable designs, fish swimming below the water & the sun shining above, creating this distinct image. The spearhead is comprised of hundreds of different white quartz stones that might have been imported from the region to the southwest which is now the city of Quartzsite. The first person to photograph the fisherman aerially was local pilot, George Palmer, in 1932 & archeologists have not speculated its age. If you ask the Mojave, they'll tell you the Intaglios have been here forever. But the archaeological record, based mostly on ceramics, indicate that the Mojave have been in the area for 3,000 years.
