[@ulrichschliz1076]

I am an industrial man. When I see these normous constructions, it is very hard for me to accept, that this was built only with the common tools of those times. Who knows a bit about industry, will see quickly, what enormous kind of organization and labor force is needed - not only for having builders, but also a whole infrastructure around them. These are normally life-long works - if ia lifetime should be enough. It remains enigmatic for me and I cannot help to think, that there lived somebody in those times, who knew a lot more about things than we do in nowadays. I appreciate your work. Have seen a lot of your videos.

[@bozo5632]

I think you're exactly right about the organizational challenges, especially with gigantic projects like the pyramids. I think that's really the main achievement, and it usually gets overlooked. But I disagree about the need for better tools than we think they had. So called advanced technology. There were master stoneworkers in the stone age. I think we sell them short when we assume they couldn't have done it without xyz. Anyway just look, they did it, for millennia, all over the world.

[@bozo5632]

Most of the "impossible" stuff has been demonstrated by experimental archaeologists, who are probably nice people but they're absolute amateurs at stone working, etc.. If they can do it using amateurish home made tools, then a real master with could have done it with style.

[@ulrichschliz1076]

@@shivanandaji This is the question, which i have with all this monumental constructions. Life was hard in those times and why would people -under the conditions tey were living - sacrifice so much precious time for such a work. Only to honor the god or the deads? One must take in account, that he productivity then was just enough to cover the basic needs an a little more. all this labor force had to be nourished. where did the food come from? But he official anthropology sees what it wants to see and it cannot be what not shall be. There are no archaeological experiments which would have explained all this, like the other friend is alleging. The official answers to the unexplainable are mostly ridiculous and helpless.

What is also amazing as I learned when I visited Newgrange is that the sloping and overlapping construction with large stone slabs has resulted in a completely bone dry inner chamber - after 5000 years.

I think of lots of ancient history may be remembered in mythology, like for example in the Leabar na Gabála Éirinn (the book of Irish invasions) they describe a heavily mythologized version of the very same journey described here that’s the first farmers would’ve taken to gets to Ireland, including the idea that they may have came from somewhere in the middle east sailed around the Mediterranean stayed in Spain or Portugal for a little while and then finally moved north into Ireland. They also seem to have preserved the memory of the Indo-European migrations, with them also saying that part of the Irish come from Ukraine, and a second wave having come later on and displaced the old group. It’s just very odd how particularly correct they were even if the story was simplified...

[@gabrielonofrei4595]

They were probably descendants of the Atlantes, who spanned the Atlantic coastlines and got flooded out around 9k years ago. Some say they lived in Spain, but my guess is their capital or a large city was in Mauritania when it was a sea.

JP Mallory has written a couple of books on the ancestry of the Irish and he argues that the legends are not reflective of the archaeological and genetic evidence. He argues they were filtered through later perspectives and based on geographical ignorance of what lay 'out there' rather than accurate recollections of folk movements. His books are very interesting.

There were later reverse migrations from Britain back to Europe. Britain was briefly back under Celtic rule once the Romans left. When the Saxons began conquering Britain many of the Celtic people were pushed into the hills (Wales) and other fled back to the edges of western Europe. The Celtic people in today's Brittany are descendants of British Celts who fled Britain in the Dark Ages (hence the name "Brittany") There is still a Celtic language, Breton, spoken there. The Galician people of northern Iberia are believed to be Celts who fled from the British Isles in the Dark Ages. They still have a Celtic cultural altough they no longer speak a Celic language.

Have you heard of or read "Ireland" by Frank Delaney? It's a tale of an Irish Story Teller whose tale called "The Architect of Newgrange" describes how the monument came to be. The monument was conceived and constructed by one man, who employed others to haul stones from all over the vicinity to build it, and it took about 12 years to construct. It was meant to be a monument to the Ancestors, out of respect for their forebears. The Architect is described as a very tall thin man with bright red hair who was reclusive and who loved stones with such great passion and intimacy. that he could do whatever he wanted with them.

It was not the planting of crops that they were interested in, it was the movement of the heavens (which was organised by the gods). And the heavenly bodies were gods themselves. We do the same today with stories like Snow White (SW). SW was the Pale White Moon, followed by her seven (dwarf) planets, that follow the Moon around the ecliptic in a long line. The evil witch put a corset on SW, and pulled it tight to make her thinner and thinner (the waning Moon), until SW Moon ‘died’ (a New Moon). The SW Moon then kisses the handsome Sun prince (a solar eclipse) and comes back to life (waxing crescent Moon). Remember an eclipse can only occur at the New Moon, when the SW Moon has ‘died’.)

My DNA on one side shows I'm directly descended from High King Niall of Tara and yes it is Basque DNA. There seems to be links between Ireland and Egypt. Egyptian Princess Scotia was supposed to have settled in Kerry with her husband Prince Mil of Bregantia (now Coruna)in Northern Spain. He may have worked as a bodyguard at the court minding Pharoah like his father Bregan did apparently, that would explain how they met. Compare the light box at Newgrange to the one in Egypt, quite similar. Egyptian Faience beads found at Tara also. The people of the west are from even earlier tribes the De Dananns (people of Dan/Dana/Daniel) in Donegal, Thracian(Bulgarian) slaves in Connaught that were forced westwards by the Milesians (descendants of Mil).

Thank you. I enjoyed that. Being given a glimpse of the Ireland that was was a kick. While I was raised in the US, my DNA suggests my mother was 100% Irish. I didn’t have my father’s DNA to determine whether any of his maternal ancestors included Ireland, though I suspect so, and so I’m left with 100% Ireland/British Isles. However, the DNA results indicate my mother’s maternal line was in Ireland for up to 8,000 years (based on mutations) and it’s likely, that lineage came from an area that was lost to rising sea levels as the glaciers that covered Ireland receded. It’s a rare DNA in Ireland but half of the Sami people and half of the people in the Basque region come from the same line (sans the specifically Irish mutation). My cousins at least are passing along our rare Irish line (I didn’t have kids) to their daughters. Personally, my DNA is rife with homozygous and heterozygous mutations (unmutated genes are not the rule). My people were no doubt well inbred. I find it weird that my mother married someone from the US with so many of the same mutations whose family is most closely associated with England and the Glasgow area of Scotland (his grandparents and some of his uncles immigrated-his father was born in the US). Perhaps they originated in Glasgow and there might be the Irish connection… who knows, maybe one of his maternal ancestors was from the same line as my mother. Wondering about it passes the time. lol I live on the island now and interestingly, though I’d never call myself Irish (because I know better having spent time on the island with relatives over the years-I learned very quickly how American I am despite using most of the slang and some of the sentence structure common to the island), most people I meet who learn that my mother was born and raised here will say, “So you’ve come home,” and home is precisely how Ireland was always referred to in our home when I was growing up. Thank goodness I have close ties with my relatives as it was them who told me “It’s time” to leave America and come home. If I live to be the age my mother, aunt, and grand mother were when they died, I will have reversed my mother’s time on the island as compared to her time in the US. 27 years/ Ireland to 57 years/US for her and hopefully for me 57 years/ US to 27 years/Ireland.
