We bloody Yanks can conquer Limeyland for Ireland with the objective of requiring all Limey pubs to serve their beer cold instead of warm and to require most Limey women to shave their legs. We can start by finishing the job John Paul Jones started in 1778 at the Limey Port of Whitehaven.

While I am just about to enjoy this surely interesting episode, as an Irish person, I must coreect the opening words that suggest when St Patrick arrived we were a people several centuries old...it is well accepted that the pre celts were here for many thousands of years...the Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth burial chambers are dated 5,200 years ago, predating Stonehenge, but built by the same peoples!. However we shall hack on and welcome this surely otherwise well researched and well presented work. Happy St. Patrick's to ye all..;)

This was a good synopsis which could've been expanded into a series. The path from the ancient Celts of Europe to the Christian Celts of Ireland up to the modern day is an enormously long story and takes hours to cover.

How do I learn that history?

[@DidYaServe]

You could piece it together from online resources like Wikipedia but I would recommend hitting up your nearest bookstore to see if they have any scholarly books about the Celts in their history section. These books are easy to obtain in European bookstores but if you're based in North America, perhaps do a background check on authors before spending money. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Irish-Americans that piece together the history inaccurately in order to put forward some modern day agenda based on the culture war between Left and Right.@@leighhuggins5030

Nobody was exclusive or litterarly first and entirely and purely the forfatherly unique, neither ethnically, nor culturaly or racially - completaly clean, because the tribes, ethnoses and peoples - have mixed with each other, intermerried, constantly circulated and blanded with each other throughout the human and Pan-European history....our peoples are the result of that, so are the various tribes, Celtic or pre-Celtic (proto - European, or - the middle Easte farmers who migrated to Europe far before our fellow Celts who after 5-4 BC, became the N• 1 factor on the Isles. The Celts with their various tribes......then - the Romans, then at the and of Antiquity and the begining of the early Middle Ages - the Angles, Saxons & Yutes....then...the Vikings, after them, - the Normans.....ect....they all have contributed to what we call today the British nation ...or the ethnicities, or people of the British Isles... - The British...which include the Scotsmen, the Irish, then thd Welsh, Cornish and after all - thd English , who thems4lves are the blend of AngliSaxons, Normans, Vikings, and...mainly - the Brittons, as wwll as the Picts who lwft thd Nor5h, when the Iriah Gaelic , Scuti or Scoti - moved to Scoyland.. ect. However, ev3n amo g thd 3nglush, lwt alone the Irish, Welsh & Scotish - the Celtic component (both genetically and culturaly, as well ad spiritualy) is far more dominant among the British folks, then any other, that is for sure.

Reliance upon inference of some tenuous connection with the Continental Halstatt (and La Tene) cultures is a cumbersome, and cumbrous, thesis. It is now mostly superseded by current understandings of the prehistoric Atlantic Cultures and their vigorous trading networks connecting Tartessia with Jutland and beyond. These understandings are supported by genomic evidence linking today's Insular and Continental Western Europeans to the ancient Iberians.

Except for the very non-Celtic Patrick, you have to get through over 1/2 of this documentary before it talks about anything Irish. Lots of info about Rome and the Gauls and Boudicca though. CROMWELL productions???!!! Is that a sick joke??? I should have stopped watching as soon as that popped up. Really, next a company named Hitler will produce a documentary about European Jewish culture. This reeks of British cultural elitism.
