One of the things I like best about your videos is that you present the legends as accepted fact. So many presenters would add a disclaimer, "Of course this is just a legend." That rather disrespects the stories and the people who lived and told them. You just give us the legends at their face value, and trust us to be smart enough to know where fantasy and legend end and history picks up, while also leaving plenty of room for the fantastic and numinous.
@LandersWorkshop Жыл бұрын
Great video mate, always like the effort you put in bro. Those formed stones with the almost hexagonal sides don't look natural to me so I think the tour guides were on the right track. My thoughts are this area was probably an ancient port that was abandoned when weather systems changed.

Both the "real" explanation and the folklore are equally important. We are imaginative creatures so to strip that away robs us a large part of what makes being alive so interesting. Humans developed these stories, we are humans, the stories are a real part of our human history, inspired by real things. The only problem is when stories turn into rules on how to live.

The Iceland stones inspired me to write my own wee story about the causeway. That Finn MacCool and Bennandonner were actually allies against the Icelandic trolls. But obviously there are more stones now in Iceland than in Ireland because giants are bigger and can throw harder…..

My Scottish mum told me the "main" tale when I was a wee'un, she also said that in another showdown Benandonner ground rocks to dust, but Finn Maccool impressed him by squeezing water out of his rocks, which were actually cheese, from his wife.. She pronounced It with a shorter "o" like McColl

Could someone help me see the teddy bear in the rocks? I can't see anything resembling bear ears and Google just shows me literal stuffed animals on the rocks. But I love the video! I believe both science and folklore are important, and learning both sides adds dimension to the topic and gives you more to appreciate. I also love seeing how they interact and why.
