Megaliths of The Emerald Isle: Kilclooney Dolmen | Donegal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- An eccentric hauls his wild beard through Ireland's pre-history in a cinematic exploration of the megalithic craft. This episode visits Kilclooney Dolmen in County Donegal, an astounding granite portal tomb raised over five thousand years ago in the Neolithic age by the then residents of the Emerald Isle (before the Egyptian pyramids were built).
Featuring the Grand Nephew of John Doherty on harmonica (who wished to remain anonymous) with the voice and footage of his ancestor taken from "Fiddler On The Road".
A Jesse P. Watson film.

TO BE CONTINUED...
Be very grateful if you'd leave a like, if you did like it, as it helps get the video recommended to others.
I pulled out all the stops for this episode due to the good response my last wee film got (spent two weeks making this) and will be continueing to develop the format I struck upon here in future episodes.
For those interested, this film was shot and edited entirely on a midrange smartphone, alone - I repeated the same sequence of movements to give the impression of multiple cameras at work and then the camera movements are done in editing - my current phone has served well but was being driven to its limit in editing this so I'll be changing to one a little more powerful now - mainly to avoid those irritating pops on the audio track.
If you are a resident of Ireland, please feel free to recommend underrated sites that I might visit.

@@yoseppriyanggamukti3765 Thank you. I would like to see these. Do you know their name or the word for "dolmen" in the local language so I can search?
@@JesseP.Watson I AM RUclipsR. I AM MUSLIM. I FROM PONOROGO INDONESIA. IN MY CHANNEL THAT VIDEO ABOUT MENHIR AND DOLMEN
@@JesseP.Watson Indonesia is beautiful. Arkeologi
👍 lovely shot at 10 mins and sun shine through.
Though mystery solved with closing shots. They are sheep scratchers.
Aye, that's right, arse scratchers and midge shelters :-) ...Practical.
...Couldn't believe my luck when those lambs wandered up... Was shooting to get a timelapse shot of the sun set... Unusually tame yows them are.
Just got a new phone and discovered it has Lidar scanning so I can make 3D models of the sites , they can even be measured after the event. ...Presumably I'll be able to upload them somewhere for others to use. ...Which is just a bit too good to be true, so, well, how's about that! ...Can't quite believe that, all getting a bit Star Trek!
Beautiful tribute to John Doherty. I have been watching your videos for a while now... found you through a comment on another video... I am hungry and have to pee but too mesmerized and inspired and emotionally and spiritually soothed to tear myself away long enough to cook or pee... even though I know these videos will still be here. I wish I could become a patron... perhaps someday soon... this video made me cry... for many reasons... 💖💖💖🙏
Heheheh... Keeping you from the loo is high praise indeed 😆 thank you Laura. Aye, I must get that end of things sorted though I am a little reticent as things are still changing a lot from one vid to the next - keep thinking I've found the groove then find the last thing I expect is what is really appreciated by viewers, so, aye, learning curve there. Thank you for your kind words and support there, much appreciated. Have a grand day,
Jess.
Beautiful - could have watched for hours.
That's grand to hear, thanks for that Martin.
Blooming marvellous!!!!
Ode to the stones,,,,,,,,,

Thank you Rich, "Ode" ...I love that word, got an ancient ring to it... "Ode to Woden."
@@JesseP.Watson ode to Odin!!
Blooming magical,,,
You were wild lucky with the weather! That's a very solemn place to be with the wind howling in from the ocean. Give it a few more years and the Irish government will have it fenced off with a 20 euro charge to have a look.
Aye, that it is. Fear not, I spoke with the farmer for a good while whose family has the land it's on, they'll not be giving it up anytime soon. He was also very clear that he'd not be allowing anyone to put pea-gravel paths and sign boards around that dolmen.
Superb cinematography and editing skills Jesse, what a beautiful place, I am encouraged to do a little vid for you to promote your most excellent channel, in the Freely way of course ! 👍🏻🍻
Thank you Mr Freely, aye, this and that Cork Stone Row one rode upon a certain magic which I can't really claim was all my work, to be honest, something channelled from those ancient places maybe, and the warm welcome of the folk in those parts.
Be very grateful if you were to do that, feel free to screen capture any of my vids for the purpose if so desired. I might just do a recommended vid myself, with yourself, The Man and a couple of other wee channels I enjoy from eccentrics.
All the best Master Freely, nice to see you again... to seeeee you nice. 😏
Love these solo adventures. If you make it south to cork and kerry I will most certainly come find you with a visit to me bro and me father.
Thanks Annie, grand to hear. As a matter of fact I am in Cork at this very moment, sat waiting for the cloud to clear so I can continue filming just up the road from Castletownshend near Skibbereen. ...Came South to grab a bit of video equipment. Suffice to say that is probably shorter notice than you were expecting. Will email you my number all the same.
Hope life's treating you well,
All zee best to ye.
Lovely film, lovely man.
Thank you Mister Kelly, kind of ye to say so.
I'm a Galway Kelly.
I think this bearded gentleman from Sasana is at home among the "Crom Leacha"/Bowed or slanting flagstones of Éire.
Aye... I reckon he is. 😉

Beidh fáilte romhat anseo i gconaí./ You will continue to be welcomed here always.
@@martini3524 That's a very moving thing for this travelling man to hear. Go raibh maith agat.
I wish I could make videos 1/4 as good on my high end PC, let alone being able to make such a thing on a mid-range smart phone, I find it astounding, almost unbelievable, that it can be done.
Ach aye, practice makes perfect, been making vids for... 15 years now so no miracles - blind obsession helps too.
Beautiful Jess...👌 Very ethereal at times, well shot and very well edited brother. Enjoyed that one lots! And what a Dolmen that is on kilclooney more...! Awesome
Digging the new look too...Proper pair of boots there, 👍 same like thems we wore in the drum corps! 🥁
Nice job on’t tweed alterations to make em better and loving the walking stick 😁
I think yer did reyt going west mucka..Ireland’s beautiful topography, and it’s people, as you are no doubt discovering are amazing too.
You looks kinda at home there.
What a joy meeting and listening to that musical fella.
Greater adventures and stories in store for you and thru your lovely little films....us too. 💪😎
We’ve just had a great time at equinox fest with the pink one’s...Marvellous weekend!
Loving your adventures though marra, see ya in the next one.
PS can’t wait to see you and your awesome little van if you came to visit! Stay dangerous, cheerybye!
PPS I’m going to watch this one again just now 💪👍👊
Glad to hear it hit the spot Cookie, aye, she didnee turn out too shabby. Mind, I suspect it isn't being recommended like the last because it opens with the phrase "Kill Clooney" ...Which is what the auto subs read as ....Doh!
...Satisfying though to stumble on a format that allows contemplation of these things without getting into a load of fact spouting (that can be googled in 2 minutes for anyone interested anyway) Think those boots are my favorite possession actually, got for a song in a junk shop, most bootish boots ever... Feel like a kid's cartoon character with them on. ...Aye, don't make them like that anymore.
Grand to hear things have been rocking along with the sambistas an all... Got a kit in the front of the van here actually, will have its moment at some point... Just gotta find the right mountain peak. :-)
Aye, it is quite a staggering place all things considered, as you say, above and beyond the gobsmacking landscapes on the Atlantic coast here it's the people - unrivalled welcome, so refreshing to meet that. Bizarre tis, living the most social existence here I have had for years just from bantering with random strangers in passing. Aye, lot to be said for it, warms the cockles of the heart it does. ...I cut all the bits where I was waxing lyrical about that ont vid ;-)
Stay dangerous brother, look forward to catching up down t'road.
Dolmen in Ponorogo east java Indonesia
Menhir in Ponorogo East java Indonesia
There are 80,000 of these. They were built by the earliest immigrants from bab -el ( Sumeria) .They were the first cathedrals, sacrificial altars ,tombs and sanctuary. They represent the ark of Noah. Supported on the mountains of Ararat turkey.
A dolmen is an early cathedral, and a shrine to Noah’s ark. The ark became the first idol, tomb temple and altar of sacrifice.
How on earth did they get those heavy rocks on top of those standing stones?
Aye, 64000 dollar question that, indeed. I rather suspect that they did it the other way round, built a mound and dragged the capstone up onto it or see-sawed it up on wood/tree-trunks then, once it was supported there, they dug out underneath and placed in the uprights.
…With the huge overhangs that would be quite feasible, plenty of room to hold it up around the edge whilst getting the supports in underneath.
That’s my best guess at present.
I’ve a video on Rudston monolith featuring some contemporary megalith makers in Sumba, Indonesia, those lads have the pulling bit sorted.
…Will be having a pop at it some day, just need to get a gang together :-)
Teamwork and determination.
@@slappy8941 Aye.
I think it was the mound method too, but the upright stones were incorporated in the mound with just a bit showing to know where to haul the cap stone on too, the cap stone was definitely drag rollered with a few hefty lads doing the heaving . Crikey I still use this method today!
I'm more inclined to think they built up a mound of stone these days. There's often a 'court' of small stone around these sites, generally the worst preserved aspect as it's the first thing a farmer clears away. But, aye, there's a presumption that these were covered with mounds but there's no real indication of that - I've never found any mound nearby that could account for it and the idea that a mound on these disappears contradicts other mounds which tend to grow as topsoil gets lain down, not shrink... plenty of intact burial mounds about.
There's a different kind of neolithic/bronze age construction that is built in a mound of soil or stone but they don't show the same structure inside, just a fairly rudimentary box without any of the sculptural form and generally using smaller stones.
Main thing that bothers me is compacting a new earth bank, which would have to be REALLY compact to take a 10-20tonne boulder being dragged onto it - it'd just dig into the side otherwise... also, in Britain, its so wet that you'd be left in a quagmire of mud. So, aye, I think it makes much more sense that they put up the big 'wall stones' then chucked a load of smaller, easily handled stone inside and around the outside like in a battery dry stone wall (would be a fast job with the couple of hundred people around needed to pull a 10T capstone) which would make the whole thing rock solid, then dragged the capstone up that pile. ...Then cleared out that stone and built a court around the monument with it.
