Exploring Ireland’s Paranormal Middle Eastern Roots

[@sharonholdren7588]

This is why materials as this are frequently classified as "Ephemera." As a child I inherited my grandmother's 700 volume library. I had a pile beside my bed to throw at my younger brother when he bothered me. When I went off to college my sister boxed them up and announced to my mother she saw no reason why I would ever want old books anyway. My father died shortly after my parents 50th Anniversary, I helped my mother clear the house in preparation to sell it. It was then, decades later, I discovered he had preserved and protected them for me. Many turned out be early commercial publications of the likes of Greyfriar's Bobby and my Grandmother's correspondence with the author. One was a water damaged copy of Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence that had intrigued me in my early teen years. It had eventually lead me to spend almost 6 months travelling Iraq, Syria Jordan and Palestine with a map I'd copied from it. At one time I was an Archives and Special Collections Librarian and I never got over my veneration of old books. So very much is lost, because no one appreciates its potential.

Lots of books were destroyed by the British when they invaded. A professor from Trinity college dublin visiting england in the 1890s was asked by a Lord he was visiting to examine a book that the Lord thought might be egyptian. He said it was in his family for generations but he didn't know where it came from. The professor looked at the book and i quote from his diary." I turned pale and then feared the Lord saw this, for if he knew he had a book of ancient Irish laws(brehon laws) he would have surely throw it in the fire" so he told him he didnt know but could he take it back to ireland to study. The lord agreed and needless to say he never got it back. Still can be seen in trinity college. Can you imagine what was destroyed when they invaded. We never will know the full extent. But interesting he taught it looked egyptian.

I’m from Iran. Born and raised. I look like a typical Persian, white skin, almond brown eyes, dark brown hair. When I took a DNA test for my tribal ancestry, my highest genetics match was to Northern Ireland, followed by Southern Ireland and then to Caucasians of Afghanistan ( by a large margin). I was shocked. I had plenty of Northern Europe in the mix. Years later, I had a child with an English man and my son was born w red hair. A very Irish thing. To have a red hair baby, one must be a recessive. I know of no one w red hair in my family. Anyhow, the whole thing is very mysterious.

In terms of archeology and genetics arguably one of the earliest records of human activity in Ireland was the remnants of a butchered deer bone found in a cave in either Kerry or cork I believe that dates from 30,000 years ago. And is one of the oldest artefacts for human activity in the British isles. And in Irish mythology the coming of people to Ireland is seen in waves and this is reflected through history too. Where we had prehistoric hunter-gatherers, neolithic farmers, and then the bronze age Smith's and craftsmen. And these peoples likely came here through boat or through land bridges just at the end of the last ice age. And in our mythology you have the fomorians, the tuatha de danann, and the Gaels (with the fir bolg shoehorned in as well). We learn a lot of this from the pseudohistorical book of invasions in which the Irish are the descendants of Noah after the flood and eventually they split into three groups the tuatha de dannan, the fir bolg, and Gaels. The fir bolgs go to Greece where they are enslaved and made to carry bags of soil for agriculture (hence fir bolg means men of bags), the tuatha went to the north to 3 cities where they learned magic and sorcery. The Gaels went to Iberia where they learned warfare, crafting, smithing, and how to work the land and one of their soldiers was the Míl Espaine or (the soldier of Spain). First the fir bolg came who where then conquered by the tuatha and their magic, then the Gaels came who conquered the tuatha due to their better mastery of the land. While pseudohistorical the idea of our ancestors coming from Iberia is found not only in Irish texts but also in a few other medieval Christian texts and it is described as the "motherland of all races". But let's go back to the historical people's. You have prehistoric hunter gatherers who were then conquered by neolithic farmers who there then conquered by bronze age Smith's and craftsmen. Now post-glacial we find the emergence of the ancient Version of the Basque language spread throughout Europe going north, followed by Indo-European language spread in the early neolithic times spreading west, followed by the Semitic languages coming up the western coast of Europe. And in fact, the "Celtic language" emerged quite later in Europe. The term Celtic in fact is really only a linguistic term for la guage groups and at best a cultural one too, but it is not a genetic or ethnic term. An interesting features in all of this is the bell-beaker culture which was a style of pottery and arguably people that we think came from Portugal and spread out all over Europe at the time and some of the earliest recorded evidence we have of this comes from Iberia and Portugal. This pottery made its way to Ireland and is believed to have lasted in Ireland for a period of time after the decline of this culture in mainland Europe. And it is widely believed that the Celts came from central Europe. However, this translation is based on a mistake. When the historian Herodotus beloved that the Danube started in the Pyrenees and that the homeland of the Celts was at the sources of the Danube. So later on, scholars in the 19th-20th centuries had better maps and knew that the Danube started in central Europe and so this account of Herodotus was changed to it meaning central Europe, even though everything thing else Herodotus states says the Celts originated in Iberia. So we have archeological evidence stating that there is a great link between Ireland and Iberia, and also written accounts from Ireland and Rome stating yea the Celts came from here. But what about genetics? Well it has been found that in terms of blood groupings and DNA evidence that the Basque peoples, modern day Iberians, and modern day Irish and Scottish people and linked closer to each other than any other peoples in Europe. So we can pretty much say that the ancient Irish came from somewhere in the Iberian peninsula. Moreover due to the Iberian peninsulas close proximity to North Africa and it being on the Mediterranean and that Iberia has one of the highest levels of North African DNA in Europe and can be found all the way back to Carthaginian times if not perhaps before this also. So there is a strong link between Ireland and North Africa. Plus if we go into Christian times in the early centuries in Ireland a lot of the artwork teachings brought to Ireland from missionaries who came from the Mediterranean and Roman Britain settled here and directly had an effect on early Irish-christian culture. However, in terms of bel and ba'al. It's likely that bel wasn't an Irish god and merely a creation of early Irish Christian scholars because they did in fact make up characters and stories. For example, the children of lir is an entirely Christian story. Moreover, his association with the festival of Beltane is an entirely a modern belief as with all Irish festival they used to mark certain dates in the agricultural year. It doesn't mean fire of bel it most likely means bright fire and was used to mark summer and the return of good weather. Moreover, we can tell which gods in Irish mythology were real and which ones were fictional through entomology, archeology, and depiction. For example Lugh is most likely an Irish version of the Indo-European god Lugus as their name is the same and they have similar associations. And moreover lughs depiction Irish mythology is never consistent he is either a great hero, a magical human, a druid, a spirit, and that in the story of the tailteann games is seen to be be victorious over the spirits of the otherworld seemingly implying he's not one. Bel has none of this and just vaguely appears. It's likely that early Christian scholars were aware of this demon in Christian belief and while writing about Ireland's ancient past put him as to highlight Ireland's pagan past with a demon they were familiar with.

In the Highlands second only in power to the King who was also our Cousin generally, no one could name themselves Ross in the past either. Not even in England, for long before the Stuarts as Royals we bred with all the other Royals, like the English Crown, French Crown and the Sort!

This is so frustrating because it keeps the truth at a distance. Ego in this area is particularly dangerous - too many middle aged men resolute that their theory is the right one.

Were we talking about Ireland or Scotland? What was the relation here? Why was Scotland named after her when she died in southwest Ireland? Then they just move on with a change of subject... At 3:20 he sais "in an ancient text written by an Egyptian..." & they literally start showing you Greek alphabetic text... He also does this at 7:26 he starts saying how these creatures came from Northern Africa, & then he switches up and references an example to Greece... well was it North Africa or Greece? I find the music a very enchanting filler that carries you through the odd inconsistencies of the stories here. I could go on with examples. Don't get me wrong I believe there is something going on here, I have studied Gaelic, and it is unlike any other European languege, it sounds middle eastern at times, also the pentacle found in the middle east really is a celtic knot, so yes I do believe there was some kind of connection or interaction here. I'm just getting frustrated with all the holes in their delivery here.

Another posible reason for this is the theory posted by Michael Tsarion in his books The Irish Origins of Civilization. If I remember correctly he postulates an original migration from west to east of the original settlers of Ireland the ones that were later remember in folklore as the Tuatha de Danna. He says that the TdD migrated to the Erupean mayland from Ireland to avoid a series of cataclysm like floods and earthquakes. There, for the next few hundreds or thousands of years, they spread both themselves and their idiology and mythological motifs throughout Europe, some parts of north Africa (Egypt) and the Middle East. They maybe why some of the motifs like astrotheology, a solar hero, a dying sun god, the number twelve, lions, goats, tree worship, a world tree(polar axis?), a tree of knowledge and the serpent (draco constellation?) are found throughout this areas. That it was later that their descendants started to move from east to west, some of them in an attempt to return to their ancestral land of Ireland.

He also talks about the rouge pharaoh Akhenaten, the one that f'd up Egypt's theology whit his own (Atonist) theology and his connection to the Hiksos dynasty, their connection to Judaism and druidism and how he's follower/descendants are the ones that finally "got rid" of the TdD in Ireland and throughout Europe.

My mother inherited a braid of hair that is blond and has glass, gold and shell beads woven in. When she got it, it was being kept folded in a piece of very old Irish linen which was in turn kept in a solid silver (about 88% silver with other metals) box and lid with Celtic knotwork chased into it. Mom told me that it had been handed down from mother to daughter for hundreds of years and had come from a female ancestor who had been sacrificed. I had it checked out. An antique appraiser told me that the silver box is about three hundred and fifty years old. A university near me tested the linen and that was radio carbon dated as between 1900 and 2200 years old. The braid of hair was radio carbon dated at between 3100 and 3500 years old. I took it to another lab for dna analysis. This is not a normal commercial dna test. This was done by a lab that normally does forensic dna testing for law enforcement but also will do almost any other kind of dna test for a fee. They took a small sample of the hair and a similar sample of my hair. The person the hair comes from shares the same female line haplogroup as I have and is not excluded as my female line ancestor. Going back that far it is impossible to perform an accurate maternity test but the interesting thing is that there are only an estimated 3000 to 4500 people alive today who belong to that haplogroup and most live in Ireland. My grandmother's mother was born in Ireland as was her mother and her mother going back generations. So of course now I have more questions than answers. One thing is for sure. I have likely the oldest family heirloom passed down from one generation to the next in an unbroken chain that anyone has. An anthropologist from another university that I took it to looked at it and says it is likely ancient Celtic in origin and she said (without knowing any of the back story) that she believed it to be between 3000 and 4000 years old based on the style of the braid and the beadwork and demanded that I tell her where I got it and she thought it was priceless. It is priceless to me. The braid is about 31 inches long but very frayed at both ends. It is about an inch and a half wide and about 7/8 of an inch thick. There are approximately 21,000 strands of hair in each of the three braided locks. They are light blond in color. The gold beads are about 21kt which I have been told is consistent with some ancient gold jewelry from the middle east. The glass beads are nearly identical with those common to Rome circa 100 A.D. to 400 A.D. and the shell beads radio carbon dated to 1150-1400 B.C. and are of a species of snail from the Eastern Mediterranean. To my knowledge I am the only male to have owned this braid. According to my mother it was supposed to have been given to a female descendant but none were interested in having it. So I am at the moment just a custodian until a female descendant shows interest. I'm not much of a believer of paranormal things but my sister and female cousins are seriously creeped out by it. My cousin held it in her hand for about three seconds, dropped it and ran from the room. She won't enter any room where it is kept. Before I took it to all the experts I was convinced it was just a much more recent Victorian era mourning artifact. It was common practice of the Victorian age to keep locks of hair from a deceased relative as a keepsake and often they were braided into jewelry or other decorative items. But the experts are all quite adamant that it is not of that category.

I wanted to help him but I knew that I need not try. After a bit he turned his back to me and walked to an ancient tree covered in vines. He put his paws up to the tree and began to climb to a limb. He stood there on the limb high up the tree and was looking at me again and he yawned greatly and licked his lips. I watched him as he sat on the limb quietly. I felt it was time to leave and turned away and when I looked back he was resting on the limb with his head up in the breeze. And that was the last I remember of him when I woke. I lay there with my eyes closed and my dream continued. I could still see the ancient tree but the great lion was gone. I felt that he found his Tree of Life.

Whereby I reckon the Mesolithic language (an ancient primitive form of Basque) was a “p-language”). But the Neolithic language (an ancient primitive form of Semitic) was a”Q-language”.

“Baal” is not a always a God. Baal is a title which more or less means “lord” and it can be applied to a God, King, or High Ranking military official. The Baalim (Lords, in this context Gods) were a group of Gods related to the Elohim (Hebrew Gods). Bel of the Irish is not one of the Baals though. The Celts did travel however. So there was probably some level of cross cultural interchange. For example, it is said that many Celtic Mages studied with Persian Mages. At least that’s what popular lore says. There’s even a legend that even says that Mug Ruith studied with a Persian Mage. He’s this famous blind Druid Seer. He rides a machine chariot wheel in Celtic religion (cue the people who think it’s extraterrestrial technology lol). It’s said he created that wheel with help from Simon Magus (from the Bible). Simon being a Jewish man who studied in Persia and gained magical powers. Which is why he’s called Simon the Magus. So I mean there are clear indications of a presence of ancient Middle East with Europe. There’s even a legend about an Egyptian Princess (I think she’s Afro Egyptian as a matter of fact) named Europa. Which is where Europe got its name from. Zeus came for her to be his bride. There was a contest and everything for her to leave Egypt and come to Greece. So think about that for a second, all these white pride European Nationalists are proud of being named after an Afro Egyptian Princess wife of Zeus. Hilarious what happens when you do your research. Everything becomes ironic. Edit There is a God who happens to be a Baal. When people think of the evil Baal or Lord that people sacrifice children to, they usually mean Baal (Lord) Moloch. Who was a fire God. The idea children were sacrificed to him tends to be a religious lie promoted by monotheistic religions. There is no evidence that children were actually sacrificed to him. He is a God of Fire but that’s it. And the Greeks didn’t call the Celts Keltoi because they were barbarians. Although I am sure at least some of them thought that. Keltoi means “the hidden people” they were considered a mysterious people with ancient arcane rituals. They noticed that different cultures (Germans, Galicians from Spain, French, UK etc) had similar rituals and some religious observances that they shared. Also a Celt isn’t just an Irish, Scottish, or English person. Celts are many groups of people and clans.

I am American not Irish myself (if I have a ethnicity it is English) but I have learned a lot of Welsh and Scottish. I generally find that most Berber words and Arab words are different but some isolated individual words, phrases and pronunciations stand out as similar to Celtic words. So I will admit that the Phoenician trade routes probably caused Arabic, Punic, Hebrew or Berber loanwords were sent into Ireland and Wales. But I find it unacademic that this trade link may make Gaelic peoples a half middle-eastern race. Since Gaels are white with hair colorations and those of the Berbers and Bedouins are brown. But the white passing light haired passing individuals may exist in those countries. They still aren't related to Gaels. It's more evidence of cultural transmission than crazy theories of maghrebi or middle-eastern origins for the Gaelic race. My girlfriend who is of Mix Berber and jewish descent speaks Arabic and Amazigh. Some comment section people here will say "some berber dialects and Welsh can speak to each other!" no you can't that's some dumb conspiracy theory. I have found similarities and i'll admit if I was fluent I'd know more. But the Gaelic and Brythonic languages and Afro-Asiatic languages are different.

We have a dark blonde lad with pure big brown eyes, another has brown hair and hazel eyes and the youngest auburn with well we dont know the color of her eyes as it changes every day depending on the light lol, Hazel, blue, green. The missus is blonde blue eyes, im dark brown now with Hazel., and thats just us. The people of these islands have mixed with so many others, you only have to look at the Lebor gabála érenn and then think of all the invasions since.

The Egyptian princes were not redheads, the Irish were only in Egypt because they were Danites from the tribe of Dan, who were Hebrews. Stop spreading misinformation, the ancient Egyptians were Hamites with dark skinned, and most likely spoke a Cushitic language, which would explain similar words between Cushitic and Coptic. The Danites were sailors who invaded Greece and attacked Troy in the 1190 B.C., they served as mercenaries in the Egyptian army as the Sherden from Sardinian. Get your information right!

@@Hamitic_Race DNA shows they were redheads. The berbers were fair

The Vikings were large and ruthless. And they mixed up their DNA with a lot of people, like the Irish.

Really enjoyed this. I was brought up on the northwest coast of Northern Ireland near The Giant' s Causeway. The Giant Finn McCool trod the hexagonal stones between Ireland and SCOTLAND. The stones are a geological phenomenon. Thanks. Xxxxxxxx p.s. every Irish child is brought up to think of the wee children of Africa and Ireland is known for it's generosity in terms of aid.

Holy shhhhhhiat. This makes total sense to me. My life has aligned. My middle eastern nature and appearance. Yet my mothers Irish red hair. And our mystical such and such in the family.
