Yes. Curiosity was a term used a few times in this 50+ minute documentary about the family who found this site. I was thoroughly intrigued and should have mentioned this. A great video I thought. ruclips.net/video/jiiw2VRTBbE/видео.html
I was sent to check it out , back in 2001, by a hitchhiker I picked up who turned out to be an anthropology student. She pronounced it "kay-day" but with an odd lilt - almost kay-dee. (Pronouncing Irish Gaelic is a trick!) According to the people at the interpretive center when I visited, there is some belief that the tree was a living tree that was a central feature of the site, perhaps a sacred tree such as exist in Ireland to this day. In terms of the sea stacks, those might well have been contiguous with the mainland. The entire area is somewhat undermined by the Atlantic swell, and cliffs periodically slough off in the winter storms. There are accounts in the area of a small village that literally vanished overnight, falling into the sea, during a particularly nasty storm, a couple centuries back. Who knows what might have been lost, especially with the rise in sea level? I've been fascinated by this whole area since the 1970s. And the fellow's name is probably Seamus or similar? Pronounced Shay-mus. As I say, Irish pronunciation is tricky, and mine is still probably deplorable, as I have only been learning it as I go along.
Hi Chuck!!! Great to see “The Auld Sod “ featured,, I worked on a few Neolithic Archaeological digs in the East coast a few years back,, and man we found stuff Everywhere!! 🇮🇪❤️👍
Great video. Ireland really is so rich in ancient history. There are a lot of sites from that 5-6,000 year old period. Apparently older than the pyramids. 👍
I had two extremely vivid dreams about this place on 3/24/18 and 8/4/18. I only know this bc I record these types of dreams bc they’re usually prophetic in some way. For some reason, I knew it was Northern Ireland, so I Google earthed it until I found the location. The first dream had to do with stone levitation using sound frequencies and it took place in the open green field with the stone boulders around an opening in the ground. You showed this exact site at 8:52. The other dream was in a place I didn’t see in this video, but it was a small pool in the middle of a field. It somehow had to do with fertility. In the dream, I was pregnant and it felt so real. Now this was after 3 miscarriages, so I had kinda given up on the pregnancy thing. But here we are 2 years later and my little boy will be turning 1 soon. I personally believe dreams are our greatest connection to higher knowledge. If you have an emotional, vivid, or profound dream, write it down! It’s crazy how much we can learn from them. Thank you for the vid! I love that you covered this place 💛
Excellent report Chuck! That's another very interesting site and one hell of an amazing view to go along with it! That just shows how major parts of our history are well hidden but can be right there below our feet... Thanks Chuck, fascinating stuff once again my man.👊
I am ignorant of how ground penetrating radar works, but it seems to me that it would be very descriptive when viewing rock structures in boggy ground.
In my job, I use a mapping system that displays the topography of the island, and I can confirm what others are saying.. Ireland is completely littered with these sites.
Good Evening it is 9:40 been punching doogies all day, now its time to relax with a cold beer and listen to a good friend as I time travel and envision the culture the inhabitants and what life was like at that time.
Thanks Chuck. It's always fun to see old sites built by my Rough and Ready ancestors. This dating shouldn't trouble anyone as the Bru na Boinne and Newgrange have been carbon dated to ca 3200. The so-called tombs, according to Ben Mac Brady (the Last Druid), and I agree, were bomb shelters. The period between 3100 (a Mayan marker to be taken seriously) and 2800 when wave Chevrons on Madagascar and the rise of Sumer can be traced, seem to be the last time the great Comet swarm nearly wiped us out. I think Khufu/Cheops rode that last wave into Giza, like Sutton Hoo to England, and was buried not in the Pyramid but on his boat, but that is not the majority view (though I can't think why). As for St. Pat, the real significance of his intrusion seems to me to be related to this interesting fact: On March 17 in Seattle, about the same latitude as Ireland, you get exactly 12 hours of sun and 12 hours of not-sun. Though the equinox is on the 20th, because of our declination, this is the date that equality is reached. On the equator maybe not. I haven't looked. You can set your location and the date with this handy little site. in-the-sky.org/whatsup_times.php Thanks again. A pleasure as always.
It's interesting to me that more hasn't been done on this site in terms of excavations and uncovering what is underneath the lay of the land considering how long people have known about this site and the building of that impressive visitors center one would think that they'd want to more more...
Yes and no. If the real importance wasn't really recognized til 30-40 years ago it is a fairly new discovery. But yes, seems there is a lot still to be learned here. I still don't think this site is a registered UNESCO site. On the tentative site list.
I dont think its unusual or special enough to attract much more attention. 90% is fields, you wont find anything interesting digging an empty field. Those tombs look standard and the ceromonial parts like a henge dont give much new info either. Its main interest is the fact the area seems well preserved where most of the country which would have been populated in same way got destroyed over the time, or altered and updated of course. The best thing would be to preserve whats there as it is, so more detailed analysis can be carried out in the future as technology improves.
The whole island is full of these old ruins from long ago. You can barely walk ten minutes in the woods or over the hills, without tripping (sometimes literally!) over something. There are ancient caves close to where I grew up which have never been excavated, like so much else. When we were children, a few friends (all boys) went deep into one of them and found old bones and bronze jewelry. They were afraid to go further because they heard sounds deeper down and ran. It was probably just the echoes of an underground river, but it was enough to stop the local kids going back there. Despite it's recent engagement with the modern era, a lot of people are superstitious in Ireland, and prefer not to disturb the spirits of the ancestors. I'm not just talking about their graves, but more importantly, the places where they lived. While driving through the Irish countryside, you'll see beautiful modern houses with decaying old stone cottages right next to them. They don't demolish them because they fear it will bring a curse upon the new home. My father's family do this, it's tradition he tells me. There are sacred trees and fairy trees. You'll sometimes see them standing alone in the middle of a ploughed field. There are sacred waterfalls, where offerings were/are made to the water spirits, and sacred oaks where even today, some leave gifts for Cernunnos. When the Celts came they merged almost seamlessly with the existing culture, as did other cultures. I believe that cattle were brought to the island around six thousand years ago, probably by the same Indus Valley cattle culture which spread through northern Europe at that time. Their culture was destroyed around 1159AD when summer failed and skies were darkened for 18 years, according to tree ring studies. It was a turbulent time all around the world and saw the collapse of many great civilisations. Volcanic eruptions and other catastrophies had a lot of peoples searching for new places to settle.
Smarter folk than I have suggested that Rockall Bank is a likely candidate for Atlantis (no, really). Which is a stones throw from Céide Fields (suggest you put the stone in a BrahMos missile). This area should be ripe with items from ages past.
Did you say pine? That's a soft wood. What happened in this area to cause petrification like that? If this was a forest at one point it must have experienced a significant event, like a tsunami, that leveled and buried it in debris. With it being a peat bog, the good news is that anything in or under it will be very well preserved.
Bless this family , right?

You're correct, we pronounce it 'kay-dee'.
The Irish language is called Gaeilge, not Gaelic.
Hi Chuck!!! Great to see “The Auld Sod “ featured,, I worked on a few Neolithic Archaeological digs in the East coast a few years back,, and man we found stuff Everywhere!! 🇮🇪❤️👍
Whats the crack?
Clims lol
@@frankrizzo5659 It's Irish gaelic and it's spelt craic. It means fun, humorous conversation, gossip etc.
Great video. Ireland really is so rich in ancient history. There are a lot of sites from that 5-6,000 year old period. Apparently older than the pyramids. 👍
Another fine research video. Thank you!
I love seeing info on history I never knew about! 👍 Thank you!
I'm sure you will see it on other channels now. My ideas get taken by many other channels. Just saw a few more this morning.

well aint you full of crap cos county mayo is NOT in Nothern Ireland its in the republic of Eire...different country love... so stop lying

Thank you. And yes, just under our feet.
Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to make it and share.
Very cool vid Chuck. Thank you.
Ireland is riddled with those. There are many hidden and overgrown megaliths. Many on private lands with no access to the public at all.
Thanks from Ireland, Chuck! You might find it interesting to look into a mythical island off the west coast of Ireland named Hy Brasil ....
Cool? Hell yes that's cool! Kudos to both Mr. Caufields. Good eye...good work!
I think you videos are great. You cover topics that alot of RUclipsrs don't seem to. Keep 'em coming!
I am ignorant of how ground penetrating radar works, but it seems to me that it would be very descriptive when viewing rock structures in boggy ground.
That would seem to be the next step here. I was expecting to find some radar work here. If there was some done I missed it.
@@cfapps7865 Do you have a researchgate account?
Epic stuff.. love your vidz
neat way of looking at the world.
That WAS cool.
Thanks for the vid, 💖

this was beautiful as it was stimulating
Good Evening it is 9:40 been punching doogies all day, now its time to relax with a cold beer and listen to a good friend as I time travel and envision the culture the inhabitants and what life was like at that time.
Amazing! Bog pine almost other worldly.
Lidar time!
That would seem quicker than poking rods into the ground over an area that is almost 3,000 acres.
I think the whole country is already done by Lidar.
I think Ireland is one of the most surveyed countries in the world and alls on the internet
Thanks. The walls and enclosures look very similar to Dartmoor examples.
SHAY-mus is how to pronounce the name "Seamus". (Was sorta surprised you got that wrong when you got the place name right. :) )
Most enjoyable and intriguing per usual.

Great video. Thanks
Seamus, pronounced “shay-mus”
If I don't mispronounce at least one thing it is a major accomplishment.
Sham is the Sumerian sun God Shamash as in Shamson ( sampson) another ancient connection... From longer ago than we look.
While you are over this end of the world it might be worth your time looking around the Inishmore on google maps, some great stuff over there
Have you seen the ruins of supposed stone forts in the Aran islands? They sre massive and complex

They are there just buried under peat

Wow 110,000 subscribers and climbing.
I watched this video. Since there is
Do we see nubs on the inner stones of that henge? Are those beveled blocks?
Do the long walls continue under the sea?
👍👍C.F.
Do you suppose Saint Patrick would be persecuted by the ASPCA for driving snakes off a cliff? 😮🙂

Seems like LIDAR might be useful here
I wanted to see the races at Iles of Manns, but now there is much more. Apparently I'm Irish.
Correction, American.
"banished all snakes from Ireland"... Aryans (eagle) defeating the Atlanteans (snake)?
At 39 seconds the piece of land to the right looks like a horse head

Seamus or Séamus is pronounced Shay-mus, not Sea-mus.
