    In this video, I discuss much of the fascinating history of the island of Ireland from the end of the Ice Age until the arrival of the Celtic people in the last millennium BC.

    When I was 15 years old my uncle sold his house and used the money to take the entire family to Ireland. By far the most memorable magical two weeks of my life. I am SO blessed to have that opportunity. It blows me away even now 15 years later. Im a major prehistory nerd so getting to see the ancient huts and ancient churches was surreal.

      How do you know it wasn't just the Irish under a different name and culture? Like maybe the Pitcs or some group of similar origins?.... They all seem to tie into one another and even people walking around in the British Isles today have had their DNA tested and are related to some of the ancient men dug up in the ground and ice within those regions. So I believe that you're looking at the people who were there before. They were just different before others moved into the region to change the culture.

The body of the video (more detail on the mounds, economic stuff) was interesting. However, I initially watched the first few minutes, thought "meh, too basic" and only came back and gave it a second try because I know that your videos are pretty much without exception interesting. Just wanted to give some feedback, hope it's helpful and I hope you continue to put out great stuff. To be clear, I also like this video. Just think the intro is too long.

If the height of the megalitic stone over 3m means Irish and Celtic ancestor height over 9m cos those megalitic stone was their table so they might had lived millions years ago .

    I find it troubling how certain historical narratives, including those presented in the video, present an overly rigid view of the past. It feels like a disservice to our ancestors who endured far greater challenges. Additionally, the history of colonized nations is often written by others, overshadowing their own narratives. Archaeological evidence is clear and compelling; some of the oldest artifacts and architecture, like Newgrange, from Irish culture suggest a level of sophistication that contrasts sharply with the commonly depicted historical accounts.

    One qualm I have with this video is at 4:14 you mention that they work for crops of corn. Corn is a new world plant that would not have been seen since the time of colombus. This discredits almost all of the other points you bring up in this video, please do broader research than that of Ireland. Do not assume the religious or burial rites of the ancients, we may never know. If you do not know which plants were avalaible, how are we to trust your other observations?

    • @k1m6a11
      @k1m6a11 2 года назад +10

      From Wikipedia: "Corn (disambiguation): Corn, especially in British English and in cognate form in all other Germanic languages, refers to the principal cereal crop of any given region, such as maize in the United States, wheat or barley in England and Wales, or oats in Scotland and Ireland.
      In colloquial usage in the United States and Australia, corn refers exclusively to maize, a large-grained crop native to the Americas and the principle cereal crop of that region." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_(disambiguation)
      Maybe you'd be better off doing a little research yourself, instead of assuming that words mean exactly the same thing everywhere.
