    Newgrange is so well built, the inner chamber is dry as a bone. They mention on the tour, modern experts are not sure how the ancients managed to seal the stone so well. Some damp would surely make it in somehow after this huge length of time, but no. The inner chamber is as dry now as it was the day it was built.

She was very helpful and was well up on all the latest ideas surrounding the site. Whether she was part of "them" I'm not sure..... the only complaint I had was that the bus shelter next to the site had no roof and it was pouring down with rain which I believe is quite common in those parts.....

    I absolutely love this. My parents were both Irish, dad from Mayo, mum from Roscommon, although I was born and brought up in England. I’ve been obsessed with stone circles since watching Children of the Stones aged 8, and recently had my own stone circle put in my garden. I’ve visited Newgrange, Knowth etc and they are absolutely amazing. And I believe ancient oral traditions are proving more resilient for thousands of years than ever realised. There’s a similar oral tradition about a golden boy related to an ancient monument, and an amazing golden cape in a small size has been found within it. Mold cape, found in Wales.

    I am an industrial man. When I see these normous constructions, it is very hard for me to accept, that this was built only with the common tools of those times. Who knows a bit about industry, will see quickly, what enormous kind of organization and labor force is needed - not only for having builders, but also a whole infrastructure around them. These are normally life-long works - if ia lifetime should be enough. It remains enigmatic for me and I cannot help to think, that there lived somebody in those times, who knew a lot more about things than we do in nowadays. I appreciate your work. Have seen a lot of your videos.

      I think you're exactly right about the organizational challenges, especially with gigantic projects like the pyramids. I think that's really the main achievement, and it usually gets overlooked. But I disagree about the need for better tools than we think they had. So called advanced technology. There were master stoneworkers in the stone age. I think we sell them short when we assume they couldn't have done it without xyz. Anyway just look, they did it, for millennia, all over the world.

Life was hard in those times and why would people -under the conditions tey were living - sacrifice so much precious time for such a work. Only to honor the god or the deads? One must take in account, that he productivity then was just enough to cover the basic needs an a little more. all this labor force had to be nourished. where did the food come from? But he official anthropology sees what it wants to see and it cannot be what not shall be.

You can as an individual, take over the upkeep of a stretch of a road and keep it clear of litter all on your own. People and organizations do it to maintain the environment and esthetics of the surroundings. Ancient people’s banded together to do the same thing. I wonder where this came from. To work together to improve the surroundings for the future.

    I think of lots of ancient history may be remembered in mythology,
    like for example in the Leabar na Gabála Éirinn (the book of Irish invasions) they describe a heavily mythologized version of the very same journey described here that’s the first farmers would’ve taken to gets to Ireland, including the idea that they may have came from somewhere in the middle east sailed around the Mediterranean stayed in Spain or Portugal for a little while and then finally moved north into Ireland.
    They also seem to have preserved the memory of the Indo-European migrations, with them also saying that part of the Irish come from Ukraine, and a second wave having come later on and displaced the old group.
    It’s just very odd how particularly correct they were even if the story was simplified...

      JP Mallory has written a couple of books on the ancestry of the Irish and he argues that the legends are not reflective of the archaeological and genetic evidence. He argues they were filtered through later perspectives and based on geographical ignorance of what lay 'out there' rather than accurate recollections of folk movements. His books are very interesting.

      There were later reverse migrations from Britain back to Europe. Britain was briefly back under Celtic rule once the Romans left. When the Saxons began conquering Britain many of the Celtic people were pushed into the hills (Wales) and other fled back to the edges of western Europe. The Celtic people in today's Brittany are descendants of British Celts who fled Britain in the Dark Ages (hence the name "Brittany") There is still a Celtic language, Breton, spoken there. The Galician people of northern Iberia are believed to be Celts who fled from the British Isles in the Dark Ages. They still have a Celtic cultural altough they no longer speak a Celic language.

    It was not the planting of crops that they were interested in, it was the movement of the heavens (which was organised by the gods). And the heavenly bodies were gods themselves.
    We do the same today with stories like Snow White (SW). SW was the Pale White Moon, followed by her seven (dwarf) planets, that follow the Moon around the ecliptic in a long line. The evil witch put a corset on SW, and pulled it tight to make her thinner and thinner (the waning Moon), until SW Moon ‘died’ (a New Moon). The SW Moon then kisses the handsome Sun prince (a solar eclipse) and comes back to life (waxing crescent Moon). Remember an eclipse can only occur at the New Moon, when the SW Moon has ‘died’.)

      The problems with those tests is they are only as good as the modelling they are based upon.
      If the modelling for example has a political or ideological bias that can affect the quality of the outcome.
      People are assuming that those DNA lines are incoming to Ireland but they are also just as likely out going to other regions that start whole new lineages.

    My DNA on one side shows I'm directly descended from High King Niall of Tara and yes it is Basque DNA. There seems to be links between Ireland and Egypt. Egyptian Princess Scotia was supposed to have settled in Kerry with her husband Prince Mil of Bregantia (now Coruna)in Northern Spain. He may have worked as a bodyguard at the court minding Pharoah like his father Bregan did apparently, that would explain how they met. Compare the light box at Newgrange to the one in Egypt, quite similar. Egyptian Faience beads found at Tara also. The people of the west are from even earlier tribes the De Dananns (people of Dan/Dana/Daniel) in Donegal, Thracian(Bulgarian) slaves in Connaught that were forced westwards by the Milesians (descendants of Mil). A few of the Milesians like CuChulainn went back to Scythia(Ukraine) to train in Scythian warfare.

    describes how the monument came to be. The monument was conceived and constructed by one man, who employed others to haul stones from all over the vicinity to build it, and it took about 12 years to construct. It was meant to be a monument to the Ancestors, out of respect for their forebears. The Architect is described as a very tall thin man with bright red hair who was reclusive and who loved stones with such great passion and intimacy. that he could do whatever he wanted with them.

Lots of other small errors like that but that is bad because it gives people a wrong view of things. Also eupedia forums are the absolute worst.

    Thank you. I enjoyed that. Being given a glimpse of the Ireland that was was a kick. While I was raised in the US, my DNA suggests my mother was 100% Irish. I didn’t have my father’s DNA to determine whether any of his maternal ancestors included Ireland, though I suspect so, and so I’m left with 100% Ireland/British Isles. However, the DNA results indicate my mother’s maternal line was in Ireland for up to 8,000 years (based on mutations) and it’s likely, that lineage came from an area that was lost to rising sea levels as the glaciers that covered Ireland receded.
    It’s a rare DNA in Ireland but half of the Sami people and half of the people in the Basque region come from the same line (sans the specifically Irish mutation). My cousins at least are passing along our rare Irish line (I didn’t have kids) to their daughters. Personally, my DNA is rife with homozygous and heterozygous mutations (unmutated genes are not the rule). My people were no doubt well inbred. I find it weird that my mother married someone from the US with so many of the same mutations whose family is most closely associated with England and the Glasgow area of Scotland (his grandparents and some of his uncles immigrated-his father was born in the US). Perhaps they originated in Glasgow and there might be the Irish connection… who knows, maybe one of his maternal ancestors was from the same line as my mother. Wondering about it passes the time. lol
    I live on the island now and interestingly, though I’d never call myself Irish (because I know better having spent time on the island with relatives over the years-I learned very quickly how American I am despite using most of the slang and some of the sentence structure common to the island), most people I meet who learn that my mother was born and raised here will say, “So you’ve come home,” and home is precisely how Ireland was always referred to in our home when I was growing up. Thank goodness I have close ties with my relatives as it was them who told me “It’s time” to leave America and come home.
    If I live to be the age my mother, aunt, and grand mother were when they died, I will have reversed my mother’s time on the island as compared to her time in the US. 27 years/ Ireland to 57 years/US for her and hopefully for me 57 years/ US to 27 years/Ireland.

      He should have said Winter Solstice. The structures were lined up when they were built. The solstice lasts over a few days (19-23 December) so it still "works" - although 21 December is the day people traditionally gather at sunrise. However, in time to come, the sun will no longer shine into the main chamber in Newgrange via the "roof box" as the Earth's position will have changed too much. At the nearby passage grave at Dowth, the setting sun also lines up over a standing stone during the Winter Solstice.
