The Isle of Man -- Ancient Origins

- Is this the castle of the Holy Grail? Peel Castle on the Isle of Man has been a monastic retreat, a fortress and home to a Viking king. Neolithic, Bronze Age, and Celtic remains have been excavated in recent years and a visit to Tynwald Hill and the House of Keys reveals evidence of the island's Viking heritage in the parliamentary system and language. We explore the islander's love of folklore and their healthy appetite for locally smoked kippers. For more information visit www.ontopoftheworld.net and check out episode #26 in the Journeys through the British Isles category.
Illiam Dhone is my 10th great grandfather. Greetings from Virginia 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸
I have Ancestors from Mann and am learning about Them both. Thank You!
I also have ancestors from the beautiful Isle of Man. I hope one day to visit the island.
@@robinlooney5440 You should do.
Same, my surname Lira originates there
Were your ancestors Themselves?
@@AJWRAJWR I am not sure what You mean?
Manx ancestry on my mom's side. Kinrade, Stowell, Cormoad, Creetch, Stole, Kermeen are my ancestors surnames. That's why I'm manxkin. Visited there many years ago. Need to get back. Thanks for the tour.
Kinrade here, found out great grandfather was a beekeeper there. Got to visit
Proper Manx names them yessir. You'd fit right in here fellagh but thank god yer not another bloody Watterson
Great little video about the Isle of Man. I’ve been reading English Passengers and wanted to find out more about the island.
The wife loved Peel castle. We were there for the 2013 The TT fortnight. Michael Dunlop's big year.
greetings from Scotland
my great grandfather was from I.O.M. and my ancestors I found out were a high percentage of Scandinavia.. maybe they were Vikings?? hmm?? lol
Same for me but opposite, knew of the Scandinavian, could be around 23%, but with 20% irish/Scottish primarily located in the Isle of Man, wondering if our Scandinavian was watered down so to speak. Not watered down, flavored! 🤣
Same
Its a good thing, It is a small island and it needed some hardy Swede & Dane mixed in there. lol Remember that the Vikings didn't keep the ugly ones. :)
Interesting. My ancestors owned this island
They have the coolest flag
My mum and family all born there
Halloween frightened me as a child in Laxey when I could here singing of HopTu Naa down Quarry Road in the early 1940s
A Celtic and then Anglo nation, and then the Viking’s came and was like nahh this is are island now.
And then after the Scandinavians immigrated and settled all around the UK Isle of Mann was predominantly Norse and Celtic as the old Manx Language lived on.
Beautiful place, to visit.
Once again...EXCELLENT...Thanks Anne ☺
Glad you enjoyed it
Soy de México y enserio me encanta poder Conor la historia de estos lugares 🥺🇲🇽🇮🇲🌹✨
My great great grandmother Margaret Keon came from the Isle of Man. She was related to one of the twenty four keys of man. The government system is House of Keys.
I found out I'm manx , thought I was Scottish or Irish but I'm manx
It is very possible to be all three, although there seems to be an awful lot of Basque mixed in with the Manx population.
So was Christian Fletcher and later the B Gees.
Same, my ancestors were of Man and of the clan of Gunn
@@T.A.Rogowski Where are you getting this Basque business from pls?
@@duncanmann2540 The Mann Clan come from Manannan Mac Lir from whom the island gets it name.
I had one ancestor from the Isle of Man. She was born in the late 1700's and died in Tennessee, USA, in the early 1800's. Her name was Margaret McElroy.

This is paradise
Fantastic place, i have yet to visit but will soon,
How do you know its fantastic then?
I have just recently come to find out I am 20% Irish/Scottish being primarily located in The Isle of Man and Channel Islands. This would be my Paternal Grandmothers side. On my Mothers side we always knew of Norwegian as her grandma came here in the early 19 teens, and all of her family before her was full Norwegian to the absolute best of our knowledge. Now when my ancestry map popped up it stated I had 12% Norwegian including Icelandic and a separate 5% Swedish. Now on my Norwegian estimate it could range from 12-23%, theory....the Vikings traveled out first, right? So like that gentleman said, they intermarried with the Irish, thus leading to a possibly weaker percentage of Norwegian? I love finding out that those from The Isle of Man do not let culture and history and old ways fade. It speaks a bit to how my grandmother is so proud of her Irish heritage. Shell tell you till the sun goes down for good that she is Irish German and nothing else! Now I know where my emerald green eyes really come from! Anyone else out there with similar Irish heritage, if so do any or all of your family members of this heritage have an 'elf's' ear? Odd question I know, but all of my Grandmothers family including all of us after her have one elf ear on the left side. It's a slight fold or slit almost and it gives that one ear a point. Its the one thing we all look for when a baby is born😊 Thank you for this video, even if I am seeing it years later!!
I wouldn't put so much faith in these online DNA results Lisa. You mention being Irish and Scots and link it to the Channel Islands for some reason. The heritage of those islands is predominantly French/English.
I'm from the last line of Kings from the isle of mann
Naw yer no
@@jacobladder5042 said the Scotsman
@@patkelly3966 lol
Thank you Anne!
I’m here because I read that Mark Cavendish is from the ‘isle of man’.
Had to see what this place was like.
I thought the horns were added for operas.
The kippers are delicious!
I read this as accident origins and saw a motorcyclist with two legs one arm and no head on the picture thought this was going to be a doc on the first few crashes. Still got to see a cool video. 😎
Manx is a language?! That's so awesome! It's a lovely word 🤪
Are Manx cats from there?
@@JihadBunnydick Yes. Manx language is related to Irish and Scottish Gaelic
EFAP says Hi!!!
Dame Sibyl Leek in her book "A Ring of Magic Islands" a tale about Rushen Castle; that in the age of the wars between the elves and giants and men, Merlin lay the giants under a spell of sleep deep beneath Rushen castle. That there are catacombs and descending passages and those who venture too far never return. If not a magic spell could be noxious gases that far deep.
I don't know the details of the legend, it's just intriguing; the book was done with her son (Stephen? David?) as the photographer, the title refers to all the lesser British Isles surrounding Britain and Ireland and the book explores their magical and archaeological/legendary history.
Sounds like potential for a film here.
Let'sGoooo TT mountain race .... RIP Dunlops Legacy !!!!!!!!
The original islanders were Amun god worshipers from Egypt, the Hebrews of the Exodus 1,500 years ago. The island was part of the Hebrides kingdom, where some of the Hebrews settled, explaining why Gaelic is similar to Hebrew.
The name Amun (also called Amen and Amana) is where the island gets its name from. The original flag/insignia had 3 stars on it instead of 3 spurs, the 3 stars of Orion's Belt, the "Magi".
The god Amun was a trinity of 3 gods, the original Amun, plus the god Min and Ra (Sun god).
Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast!
I found out that I descend from the Kings of the Isle of Mann! King Olaf III “The Dwarf”, Kng Godred The Black, and King Olof The Black (Granfather, Father, son)

My direct male ancestors are Manx. In fact DNA has shown that every Kelly (I'm one of them) who were born on the island or were from the Isle of Man are related to every other Kelly and are descended from just one man who was called Ceallach. I used to think the Kellys came from Ireland but genetically Manx Kellys are not related to Irish Kelly but are indigenous to just the Isle of Man. Sadly I was born in Liverpool. My great grandfather left Mann in the 19th century. But I consider myself Scouse Manx.
Would love to visit someday
you forgot the most special thing about isle of man and that's TT - Tourist Trophy
What's that?
I was looking for this comment
Kieg descendant here.
✊🏻
You're funny people :D
Sicily was conquered by the scandinavians and when their time ended they went back to Scandinavia and passed through the Irish sea and that's why you have our/ we have the symbol. The 3 legs present the triangle that Sicily is :)... a lot of sicilians use your flag as emoji :-D
Greetings from Sicily :-*
At least we know that no animal with odd legs..
Conquered*
Is this Enzo with the restaurant?
@@patkelly3966 🤣🤣🤣... not every Italian has a restaurant

Smoken fish is Irish favorite.
Used to be chariot TT over there..
Don't let Manx become a dead language!

About the Celtic remains. Did you know Menapii Belgian Celts like in the region of Antwerp sailed to the Isle of man in ancient times. There is a little bit if that Celtic DNA in your roots.
How do I find out if I am any where close to being Menapii Belgian Celtic? My ancestry map has Belgium marked for my English section, but I also have 20% located in Isle of Man. I am interested. Any connections with the Menapii and those from the Black Forest region, Germany? That is 52% for me if that helps. I am so interested in figuring out all the itty bitty pieces to my family ancestry!
Bruno Pinkhof where did you find this out from?
Myles Standish was my grandfather..I learned that there is research on if the claim is true that it is ancestral land.
Anyone know anything on this subject?
No mention of Normans?
i want visit thevfairy bridge
Datra Hardaway why do you want to visit our ferry bridge?
You would be very disappointment lol

One of my relatives long gone was executed on Hango hill in 1663.
I'm a Devereau aha
Am I the only man who lives in the Isle of Man
Maybe, the rest of us fled to the Americas. LOL
I live there too :3
Funny Gamer I live there
yep
How would I move there with my wife and child from America?
Who’s here from EFAP?
🦏🥛
What does it mean, Rags?
Mauler's reaction to the flag was objectively good rat. In my opinion.
I live in Port Erin and its getting me down ;
I think I understand and can relate. But, you should be so grateful for the sea, the fresh air, the island -- so many of us live in high-rise, densely packed communities. I think many would gratefully swap their lives for yours right now. Hang in there.
Pat: I’m that nutty Cali girl.... but my Grandmother was Manx.... focus on what you WANT (not always easy). If you can Travel somewhere sunny (not easy now I know).... I’m here to help if need be.... 🕊
@@katherinesage No one is getting on or off this island at the moment. I tell you what, if you want to really be of help send me a big bag of that lovely, legal Cali bud ;-)..... I've nothing against Americans really. You guys just inhabit a completely different planet seemingly but we are all human at the end of the day I guess.
Sometimes three circling legs can mean three religious jewish festivals. ( The verse Exodus 23:14 in Hebrew.) It is amusing to see such legs on the flag of the Isle of Man.

The Little People!
It was part of Scotland once😎😎
Physically aye.......about 10,000 years ago.
George the 'Viking', talking drivel as always.
"Drivel"? Why drivel. "Viking" is just another term for Scandinavians in the centuries around 1,000 AD. Scandinavians invaded and ruled many parts of the British islands. England itself was under Danish rule 1018-1035. In fact, the Norman invasion at 1,066 A.D. was lead by the ancestors of those Scandinavians having settled in northern France in the 900s. That's why it's called Normandie, and why they were called "Normans". It means "Norwegian" in Scandinavian languages to this day. It just means "north man"/"north men", in other words man/men from the north.
Syntax Error you’re right what you’re saying about the Normans bro, but not all of England or even the rest of The British isles where conquered, Western Mercia The Kingdom of Cornwall and Wessex which had annexed Sussex, Essex and Kent into the kingdom founded England well before William of house Normandy ever did, they managed to take the Danelaw kingdom back and had East anglia the rest of Mercia and NorthUmbria under its banners again, they basically all formed together and became one kingdom. It was also the English who finally won the Viking wars with Harold Godwinson as King, even though months after that he died in the battle of Hastings and lost England too the Normans, did you also know that William was related to the King before Godwinson and had an legitimate claim to the throne in the first place.
Agreed. The horned helmet was invented for opera in the 1800s
The flag actually looks like bike leather pants^^

I thought it was the Romans who named Picts as Picti because they were painted 2,000 years ago 🤭
My DNA test says it's from Isle of Man and Norway / Northern Europe.
What year might this have been filmed, anyone?
Many years ago Brendan, what is your reason for asking?
Just wondering how much it would have changed since then. I was in the Isle of Man as a child back in 1999 or so and am trying to make sense of whether this was before or after that. I'd love to go back. Thanks.
Brendan Casey miles Walker is around 80 years old now so I’d say late 80s early 90s it was taken
Brendan Casey he’s 82 years old and I’d say he’s in his 40s in the video !
@@dbrammall66
Thanks so much for getting back to me Bam Bam! Interesting to know. Still want to travel over from Ireland some day, when I can.
😊😊😊😊
That’s a myth vikings didn’t have horns on their helmet at all I wish we taught younger people the truth they seem to be adding horns to everything god help us 🙏
Got to be the most bizarre flag in the world.
Yeah weird symbology
Don't forget the sicilian flag :)
Legs
The fall of Mankind
The wigs earwigs of Maritime laws. 😢
Is it true that British billionaires and high class aristocrats spend their leisure in this island?
The truth is from celtic mythology a giant took a chunk of ireland and boom isle of man
And in the process created Lough Neagh to fill the gap he'd just made, if I'm not mistaken.
They forgot the history of the "Moors" see Blacks Law Dictionary definition of Moor in the Isles of Man???
Bellshill afrocentrism
My ancestry is of a Holy and Ancient lineage but hidden for centuries. More because no one cares, is disinterested, or, sadly, wouldn't believe. I descend from Lancelot du Lac (corrupt french/roman from the "Angus"}. I go back from the Kings of Dalriada to Tara - to a land I will refer to as 'the wasteland'. A Noble Decurio was my forefather who was connected to Glastonbury (that's all I'll say). I say with authority of ancestry that St Patrick's Isle is the location of what was once the "many turreted" CASTLE OF THE HOLY GRAIL (a Kiddush cup) from which on a good day one could see Ireland. Indeed the conical promontory was the "Peel" of King Arthur who would watch my forefather joust below on the beach. Arthur was King of Glamorgan and my father of the 'Camelot' = 'King in residence' of Stirling. Edinburgh, Carlisle, etc, were also a 'Camelot' as were other places as they are today with the Royal Residences (i.e. different locales). The Castle was also made of the same reddish stone as the ruins of the one today, but much more glorious. It used copper profusely and its columns can be found in St Petersburg, Russia today. I also confirm the 'Shroud of Turin' (Turino, Italy) to be genuine (see Bernie Schwartz; Head of Research on the Holy Shroud). The Stone of Scone in Edinburgh is also authentic. Glastonbury WAS important for Tin trade, but later was confused with this sacred Isle of Man. This is the true story. It is.
Addition: the famous 3 wheel leg comes from Sicily from where the family briefly lived in ancient times. The reason was maritime as my ancestor traded in Tin and Copper.
Katherine Sage spell correct: should read ( I'll say)
Katherine Sage i call bullshit lancealot wasnt even a real person
Not so. Please read all the books of Norma Lorre Goodrich who cites hard evidences for King Arthur (King of Glamorgan, Wales as well as a Roman General) and my Dalriadic ancestor King Angus of Stirling. Merlin was St Dubricious. There is incontestable evidence of Arthur cited and researched by an Alan Wilson of Wales. Glastonbury is vital as it was the locale of a first century synagogue (as all primitive Christians there were Judaic) and a cite of burial after the Viking raids on Man. Man is the Isle of Avalon (Avallach) and apple orchards were grown there as well to show it as a place of learning.
I don't really care if you doubt authentic histories or use such descriptive language and articulate expression. I have zero desire to convince the closed mind.
I also wish to correct that it was not the 'grassy field' but the moon shaped beach where my ancient forefather trained in horsemanship by Vivian, Lady of the Lake who was a Nun.
Its also very interesting to note the 'Gibb' family originates w Picts that held royal seats in Inverness and Dalriada territories (yes, the name also has a Norman connect to Gilbert mostly used due to similarity to the original gaelic name- much like 'anglicizing' a name). This would make the famous and renown BeeGees (Brothers Gibb) likely from the Holy Grail lineage. Robin Gibb's funeral was all the more anciently accurate as 4 black feathers were used for ancient Prince's of the royal line.... music (and harp) always being very prominent as well as the understanding of herbs and gardens- the family likely did not know this....
Lots of luciferians there.
justaman6972 no there's not where are you getting that from I was born here and still live here I've not come across 1 xxx
The flag looks to much like a swastika.
Dude it dosent
It's one the many symbols similar to the "Swastika".
The German Nazis took an ancient Asia symbol, change its rotational aspect and made it their own.
I have seen many natives of Thailand and Cambodia tattooed with this ancient good-luck motif and they know nothing of Nazis.
@@dukadarodear2176 Yes! Also (ironically) it is a Judaic symbol of peace.
I thought it was the Romans who named Picts as Picti because they were painted 2,000 years ago 🤭
