Anthony Murphy of Mythical Ireland takes us on a tour of the monuments on the Hill of Tara at sunrise, with no one else around. On a beautiful bright (but cold) morning, we visit the Banqueting Hall, the Rath of the Synods, the Mound of the Hostages and more.

You braved a cold morning and not only did you respect the land of past kings. I wish they could have banded together. But back then we were tribes. Land was everything. The horslips should be the background Kufic lol , but your breath is sweeter. The sound of the crows . I love that sound. They will siesta take care of out beautiful land . )0( we have such a rich history . I love my history . I can’t speak my mother tongue and that’s a new chapter. But I love this video. It’s raw and unfettered. Go raibh mile mhaith agat.

Thank you for recognizing my beloved Crow friends. They were the perfect backdrop such a beautiful place. Blessings to the Sacred Space

Thank you for braving the winds and cold for us to get to go to Ireland

[@mythicalireland]

It's my great pleasure!

[@sharoneddy2491]

such a beautiful place. Thank you!

[@adriansmith6993]

Thank you for the walk. I see that I need to do some reading on Tara.

[@jmch2186]

That was fabulous Anthony. I have not been there since I was a child in primary school. You live in a sumptuously beautiful part of our magnificent country, and yes, I am guilty of being somewhat envious 👍🏻💚🇮🇪🙏🏻

[@kathleenhorner9296]

Thank you so much for braving the brutal cold to give us this marvelous journey. Brrr! We were there in 2005 and were mesmerized by it all. Love your vlogs and all your dedicated, scholarly work on celtic pre-history.

[@mythicalireland]

Thanks Kathleen. I am glad you enjoyed the video and it's my great pleasure to do the work!

[@Soberepiphany]

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this, as an archaeology student in lock down this video was a God send! You really helped me understand the layout and the beauty of Tara. Also the wind sounds made it all a little more real. :-) Thanks again.

[@mythicalireland]

Glad you enjoyed it Kat. I love what I do, and it's a great pleasure to be able to share it. I cannot go to Tara during this lockdown because it is outside my 5km limit. I am looking forward to getting back there.

[@tarahskinner923]

Thank You `~~

Oh I found you so now I can follow you on Facebook and KZbin these videos are priceless I will use them for inspiration for my astral travels

Thanks Vicki!

A beautiful video, really enjoyed it, i wonder if one of these supercomputers could make sense of it all xxxxx

[@Jane_Evershed]

Thank you so much for the tour!

[@mythicalireland]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@petphotog]

I was there about 5 months after this video. I do not recall the work in progress when I was there. Thankfully, it was foggy when I visited so the crows were not so loud. By the way, I was able to lift my foot to the top of the Stone of Destiny. I guess I am your KING! 😂😂😂

[@jerebuck]

Marvellous! Thank you very much, fascinating!

[@maryannscanlan7819]

I went to Ireland when I was in high school. I didn't want to leave. I didn't see Tara.

[@davidpryle3935]

Where did you come from ? United States, I’m guessing.

[@maryannscanlan7819]

@@davidpryle3935 yes!! My moms grandparents migrated from Ireland to US in early 1900s. So, we have not been in America very long in comparison to our roots in Ireland. And, my grandfather's parents migrated from Scotland the same time. So, they met in America and the Irish and Scott heritage carried on here in the States. But, I've always had the desire to return to the roots. The DNA has the memories and history of thousands of years in Ireland and Scotland embedded in the body . 7

[@davidpryle3935]

@@maryannscanlan7819 I come from close to Tara, and I still live quite near it. It is indeed a very historical and spiritual place. It’s not spectacular or anything compared to some of the glorious scenery in other parts of Ireland, but it is a special place. You have a great lineage, from Ireland, and Scotland. It’s only natural that you feel drawn to these ancient lands of your ancestors. That said, both peoples carved out a place for themselves in U.S history. I once visited the Tenement museum in lower manhattan, and done the tour. Amazing history of the Irish in New York. Nothing as ancient as Tara of course, but just as important, in it’s own way.

[@michaeldarby3503]

thats a bloody complicated landscape youve got there

[@mythicalireland]

Yep. Monuments spanning 5,000 years of human history!

[@michaeldarby3503]

@@mythicalireland it really is a place of great beauty, its just a pity I never got to visit when I was young.

Is Sheila Ni Gig (wrong spelling) not usually a woman's image?

[@williem1710]

Who has been Tara’s owners down through the years, say over the last 150 years? Does anyone know?

[@EMcKelvyF]

It's a national monument protected by the Gov't Public Works

Man, you need a windscreen if you plan on doing videos.
