Ancient Ireland Explored

- In the summer of 2019 I went on a road trip of Ireland with some friends of mine. This film features a range of dolmen, stone circles, passage graves, stone alignments and one of the most interesting standing stones I have seen with what looks like finger marks and evidence of stone polishing. We visit Brownshill dolmen with a 150 ton capstone (one of the heaviest in Europe), Lough Gur stone circle (Ireland's largest) and, at a number of the sites we find alignments to solstices and the position of the moon rising on the horizon.
A great trip in a great country full of lovely people.

They are not fingerprints on the stone. It's Ogham. An ancient Celtic alphabet. They probably used the stone as a signpost. There are many examples of Ogham to be found around Ireland. Good video.
What an amazing show! So educational, and fascinating. Very professionally done. I can’t wait to go to Ireland now!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Excellent work. It is clear you really work hard in producing these, and the effort shows. Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Really enjoyed this one
Finger marks on 17 foot standing stone is Ogham writing
I'm Irish and I found this presentation very informative. Thanks for putting the Irish monuments in a British Isles, European and Global context.
Great video, I really enjoyed your presentation and filming. The marks you thought were finger marks are a system of writing known as Ogham. I hope you have great adventures and much success in 2020.
Ogham, i'd never heard of it, thanks for the info
Ogham stones Ogham is the first language in Ancient Ireland developed by the druids .I'm from limerick city and out lough gur all the way to a village name Hospital there is hundreds of standing stones and ogham stones all over the country side they all enlightenment with all the other circles and stones there is also an other stone circle in the next field to the Grange stone circle the biggest one co limerick. All the stone circle are in line with planets directly above them astrological .thanks for the video bro
@@ModernExplorers would you allow me to use silent portions of this video in some upcoming projects? I would happily provide attribution, thanks for your time!
@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 - Absolutely, feel free to use whatever you want, and some credit would be lovely

Stone circles are to predict & read the stars & constellations.
It's wild to think of all the generations of people that have walked and wondered at those fantastic sites.
Enjoying your travels & shared interests in neolithic/megalithic and paleolithic cultures, these topics have fascinated me for the past 60 years. Happy you've the good fortune to travel and record share your experiences..
Great video! Thank you for creating!
Thanks for wonderful informative video. I’m irish and find it ironic an Englishman is presenting one of best videos on irish dolmens I ever seen.
Fabulous video. Thank you
I'm from Sligo. 🇮🇪☘️🧚♀️🔥💨💦✌️❤️😊
12 miles west of the Grange Stone Circle is Knockfeeria Hill. It was called a “farie Hill” and was associated with various ancient Irish legends. There was also a stone cairn which some people said had an alaignment with the Grange Stone Circle. Unfortunately British soldiers destroyed it during WWI.
The three swirled circles are taken as the rotation of the Earth, Sun and Moon.
You guys are the best . Great video . Really helped me plan my trip to Ireland
At Dowth the crater is due to an antiquarian excavation attempt that (as you see) did much damage. I second the recommendation of Anthony Murphy and Mythical Ireland- he lives in the area and has a fantastic knowledge of the Boyne valley sites.
Amazing video, guys! Thank you.
There’s an ancient dolmen in Missouri’s volcanic region as well-just recently discovered. High Quartz content as well
Amazing can you provide any links so we can take a look ?
@@ModernExplorers - click my icon to get to my channel, you’ll find it there. There’s also other ancient sites as well
ballycrovane is ogham stone
its the ancient irish alphabet
Really enjoyed watching this well edited and informative piece
Cnoc an Ceallach ( Hill of the Hag) Gaulstown Dolman. The capstone has a perfect north west alignment for the setting sun on the 21st of June. There is also an alter stone just down from the Dolman facing the same direction . Amazing place.
Found you guys by searching for interesting stuff in Ireland. We are here now and we're adjusting our tour to compensate! Thanks to your epic video. Check out Micheal Tellinger's work on the stone circles in South Africa if you haven't already.
Glad you enjoyed the video Scott, I hope we made your tour even more amazing. Yes we actually visited Tellinger in South Africa and made a video, so fully versed on his theories and the sites down there. Hope Ireland is treating you as great as it treated us.
Excellent video and info, thank you! 🌞
This is pure bliss to watch, Mick. I wonder if you have been in contact or heard of Anthony Murphy of the site (and RUclips channel) Mythical Ireland. Thanks so much for doing this video. This is the first of yours I found and I will be looking through the rest. In fact, I am conducting research for my dissertation on megalithic sites and the experiences of those who have visited. I can't wait to see what else you have planned!
That's awesome, I am happy to help with your research if you think my input would be useful. Feel free to use any of my stuff and I would love to read your dissertation when finished. I hadn't heard of Anthony Murphy but will look him up for sure. Many thanks and good luck
Many Thanks for this video! I Love Ireland! My family name is Ui eHrheamhoin and I hope to return to Her permanently one day!
awesome upload, a hugely under exposed aspect of North European megalithic construction and usage...a witch dropping rocks...or a cosmic visitor shedding it's load...
"witch dropping rocks" - and done with such precision, I would pay good money to see that
I'm actually a boyne ancestors lived along the boyne River. 💚☘️💚
Keep it up!
Great video mate.
Thanks man, very much appreciated
@@ModernExplorers As of about two years ago I found myself fascinated by neolithic history, stone circles, lay lines and dolmens. These videos have been great! I have been watching from the older to the most current. Keep them coming! Cheers mate, all the best!
Great job .
Great video Mick and crew! I was amazed to see such a large stone circle! I wonder if it was a gathering place for the villagers...used to amplify their prayer ceremonies? Or maybe it's so large because that's how large the ley line is underneath? Do you have any meters with you to test the electromagnetic frequency? I think it'd be interesting to know what these are reading.:)
I was one of the Labourers 😇🇮🇪
3:27 I wonder who is responsible for that
Intriguing that some of the art upon the stones is similar all across the world. Ever thought it may be the same people group?
14:06 esa uno de !!!!
Me llamas un fairy ?
Really have to wonder how in the world primitive people could've managed to move those big capstones.
They were far from primitive. They were farmers, they had a well developed culture, they understood astronomy. They clearly knew how to move very large stones.
It shows unbelievable ignorance not to recognise that and call them primitive.
They knew far less that we do now of course. They didn't, unfortunately, know how to write. Others did elsewhere in the world at that time.
As you seem to be American it might be worth investigating your own history as there were similar peoples in America at that time.
They are not tombs, they are ancient bunkers, built to protect the peoples from catastrophic weather!
Absolute kudos on your pronunciation. Irish names can be a little awkward
Ya missed a lot of the best ones......but probably better to keep quiet about them anyway as we're getting over-saturated with 'tourists' !
@fleetingglimpse5663 oh really, I would love to know more as I intend to revisit Ireland soon and I honestly thought I'd chosen some of the best
My Grandparents were born in Ireland 🍀🍀🍀

Then use the ☘ shamrock not the 🍀 clover
No way that you explore these ancient sites and believe the narrative that the people who built these places used ropes and logs. No way. What's your theory? I think they used sound/cymatics
I actually don't have a theory yet but sound/cymatics is a great place to start developing a theory, I just can't imagine how much power and volume they would need to levitate a 150 ton boulder like at Brownshill dolmen
Ieurlind
Although once you hit Newgrange your pronunciation hit the skids Boyne it's pronounced like the word COIN and Knowth isn't pronounced KNOT it's pronounced NOTE
Great subject matter, but for the presentation there’s a word the Irish use: gobshite
That is completely unnecessary, but please do show me how to do it correctly
@@ModernExplorers I thoroughly enjoyed your exploration of ancient Ireland video. I live near Newgrange and I have been in the chamber, which is well worth the visit. Your video and presentation has given me an extra appreciation of these ancient Irish monuments, which are taken too often for granted by many here. Please ignore any ignorant comments and thanks for visiting our shores.
@@BeeRaider1 Thank you so much for your comment, it really means a lot to me. Your shores were very welcoming so I thank all those I met for that
