    Greetings from Sligo, thanks for the video.. Carrowmore is right on my door step.. Sligo is full of monuments and structures like this.. there is a theory that the first people came on the tides from the south and landed in and around the west of Ireland, then made their way east eventually.. there are huge shell middens along the shores of Sligo where the people would have gathered shell foods. thanks again for the great videos... a lot of Irish people have no interest in our physical history.. oh, one of the symbols on the main structure is very similar the Indian symbol OM, and having traveled around some of India I found remarkable similarities in the two countries.. Regards P..

    Visited Carrowmore a few years back. Amazing place; you go miles to see one megalithic site other days then here there is so much archaeology of varying styles in one spot it's fantastic! It's like a megalithic Disneyland for the stone spotter. Queen Maeb's massive tomb overlooks the whole area. Walkers still carry stones to leave as they ascend meaning it's the only tomb still 'under construction' and the only one under pretty much 6,000 year continuous construction.

Mythology in conjunction with ancient archaeology is a topic I'm diving deep into myself, it is so fascinating to see the similarities (and differences of course) with so many other cultures around the world, even as far away as South America and more. Similar themes and ideas being told worldwide is super interesting to me, you have to start to wonder if there are not some kernels of truth embedded in there!

      Omg yes, a robot that can do archaeological digs in the North-Sea, especially where doggerland used to be.
      Cause the Netherlands and the British isles used to be connected in the last glacial period.
      When the ice started melting doggerland became submersed under water, leaving a small landmass known as doggerbank, which eventually became submersed as well, but is still somewhat visible with satellite imaging.
      I would love to know more about that, I think that's also one of the ways the Celts went from Central Europe into the British isles before the glacial period ended. And that's how all these different cultures in different places had similar constructions of megaliths, like the dolmens, burial cairn mounds, longbarrow mounds and the pyramids

      I’ve been a subscriber for about a week. Im doing the catch up on Kayleigh as well. Without sounding like a reverse sexist, Kayleigh and Jahannah James are two of my favorites. When you get past just how pretty both of them are and start listening to their take and explains on things both channels are very informative.
      Kayleigh just needed some exposure. As many Ancient History channels I’m subscribed to I’m mad at RUclips for not adding this channel to “Suggestions”.
      What a great TV series on something like the History Channel to have Kayleigh, Jahannah, Ben from UnchartedX, Yousef, Jimmy and Christopher Dunn to name a few.

      @@jeffhenderson934 Just between you and I, I'm so happy to have found Kayleigh's channel since I've missed some ancient stuff from the Scandinavia area, and her Doggerland episode was so welcoming. Comparing Kayleigh and Jahannah isn't easy. Kayleigh is very scientifically correct, and I respect that. And she has a very calm way of speech. Jahannah is great too, but it's simply something very different. The fact they are not men doesn't mean much to me, they are doing a fantastic job both of them.
      If you have a lot of time, I suggest Randall Carlsons potcast at Kosmographia. A very indepth sight at the end of the ice age, and whether Plato's island of Atlantis is impossible or not.
      Nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy History with Kayleigh as much as I did.

      @@KlausJepps I’m not very smart, and a bit shallow, so I typically don’t pick up on differences in delivery and or speech patterns. Now that you mentioned it, Jahannah is more flamboyant with her speech patterns and voice inflections, where Kayleigh is more intellectual and scientific. Both are great at what they do. The two of them together have a “Ying & Yang” compliment to each other. Either or both, it would be great to meet them and hear them in person over a beer. (Stella Artois on tap is a favorite, but I’m in Atlanta, so any beer I’ve had has been watered down to American taste. I’m sure you would have a better choice) All the best, Jeff

    • @HistoryWithKayleigh
      @HistoryWithKayleigh  4 года назад +2

      A passage tomb has a passageway leading into the inner chamber, and the chamber of a passage tomb therefore always has an entrance.
      Sometimes a passage tombs has more than one chamber, as we've seen in Newgrange.
      A portal tomb is actually a closed off dolmen inside the mound.
      The chamber has no passage and therefore no entrance and it never has more than 1 chamber.
