If one goes back 5,000 years it would be impossible to prove that 'Celts' existed, that any group of people were speaking a 'Celtic' language. Our oldest written Indo-European language only goes back c3500 years, Hittite.
5,000 years ago is around when we think Proto-Indo-European breaking up into its daughter languages.
