		The Celts were an early European warlike, agricultural, clan-based people that were spread over much of the continent between the 2nd millennium BC to the 1st century BC.
		At their pinnacle, their tribes ranged from the British Isles and northern Spain to as far east as Transylvania, the Black Sea coasts, and Galatia in Anatolia and were in part integrated into the Roman Empire as Britons, Gauls, Boii, Galatians and Celtiberians.
		During the first millennium before Christ they migrate in small groups, which dominate without eliminating the conquered populations, and are constituted in a kind of "royal tribe of the heads", contributing to the creation of mixed peoples.

		Room VIII is dedicated to archaeological material from Mesopotamia and from pre-classical Syria-Palestine (3rd-1st millennium BC), the region on the eastern bank of the Mediterranean where the first Semitic urban societies flourished and where the three great modern monotheistic religions originated: Christianity, Hebraism and Islam.
		Eloquent evidence of the extraordinary process of formation of the first society are the tablets written in cuneiform writing and the cylinder seals which were used for ratifying the documents produced by the first public administrations in history.
		The autonomy of these ceases in the 16th century BC due to the advent of the Egyptian military domination in Palestine and, in Syria, with the temporary Mitanni government (a political force of northern Mesopotamia), followed by the more consistent domination of the Hittites.
