Welsh Iron Age Ceremony

In Ireland during the Iron Age, the inauguration ceremony of a new leader involved the King publicly engaging in sex with a female horse, which was then eaten. In Wales they did the same thing, only with sheep. And there was no king. Or ceremony.

A historical-looking landscape is overlaid with a Facebook-style comment correcting a bizarre claim about an Iron Age Irish inauguration ritual. The punchline is that Wales supposedly did the same thing with a sheep, but without the king or ceremony, making the correction even more absurd.
