Celts with awesome advanced bows and actual cavalry techniques who #rekt the Egyptians, but they fell to infighting and dynastic dispute before burning down their capital and shuffling on.

They were the fist relevant Indo-Europeans.

Yup! The same branch of people having moved westward from the Indus mountains, and settled in Anatolia, then to northern Greece and beyond, whilst others went south into Palestine and on to Carthage. Many [Keltoi] were recorded by the Greeks states as being mercs.

>what is Hallstatt culture?
You're confusing a lot of things here friend. The current accepted theory is that the Indo-Europeans who went on to become the Celts travelled through modern day Ukraine, crossed the Carpathians and solidified their culture near modern day Bavaria.

The Galatians and the Balkan Celts conquered the respective regions (and raided Greece/Macedonia) after the time of Alexander. They also often served as mercenaries throughout Europe and the Near East and North Africa.

A Hittite text suggests that they had suzerainty over 'Wilusa' which is commonly regarded by scholars as being the ancient city of Troy. They were destroyed by the Sea Peoples and splintered into various Neo-Hittite remnant states.
