Exploring Ireland’s Paranormal Middle Eastern Roots

How does Irish mythical celtic folklore connect to the various histories and lores of ancient Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon and Mauritania? Could there be any archeological and genetic DNA evidence connecting Ireland's stories of ancient giants, Atlantis and demonic gods to North Africa and the Middle East?

    This is why materials as this are frequently classified as "Ephemera." As a child I inherited my grandmother's 700 volume library. I had a pile beside my bed to throw at my younger brother when he bothered me. When I went off to college my sister boxed them up and announced to my mother she saw no reason why I would ever want old books anyway. My father died shortly after my parents 50th Anniversary, I helped my mother clear the house in preparation to sell it. It was then, decades later, I discovered he had preserved and protected them for me. Many turned out be early commercial publications of the likes of Greyfriar's Bobby and my Grandmother's correspondence with the author. One was a water damaged copy of Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence that had intrigued me in my early teen years. It had eventually lead me to spend almost 6 months travelling Iraq, Syria Jordan and Palestine with a map I'd copied from it. At one time I was an Archives and Special Collections Librarian and I never got over my veneration of old books. So very much is lost, because no one appreciates its potential.

    Lots of books were destroyed by the British when they invaded. A professor from Trinity college dublin visiting england in the 1890s was asked by a Lord he was visiting to examine a book that the Lord thought might be egyptian. He said it was in his family for generations but he didn't know where it came from. The professor looked at the book and i quote from his diary." I turned pale and then feared the Lord saw this, for if he knew he had a book of ancient Irish laws(brehon laws) he would have surely throw it in the fire" so he told him he didnt know but could he take it back to ireland to study. The lord agreed and needless to say he never got it back. Still can be seen in trinity college. Can you imagine what was destroyed when they invaded. We never will know the full extent. But interesting he taught it looked egyptian.

If anything was lost due to the same Brits who created Trinity College burning a few books, it was only the codifications created by their subservient serfs n their lackeys.

    I’m from Iran. Born and raised. I look like a typical Persian, white skin, almond brown eyes, dark brown hair. When I took a DNA test for my tribal ancestry, my highest genetics match was to Northern Ireland, followed by Southern Ireland and then to Caucasians of Afghanistan ( by a large margin). I was shocked. I had plenty of Northern Europe in the mix. Years later, I had a child with an English man and my son was born w red hair. A very Irish thing. To have a red hair baby, one must be a recessive. I know of no one w red hair in my family. Anyhow, the whole thing is very mysterious.

    There are specific scary stories Iraqi grandmas tell about the 'sluagh' which I know is part of Gaelic folklore. Some of these stories are passed down through generations and predate the internet. My grandmother heard it from her grandmother and both women lived most of their lives in a village near the marshes. I have also noticed other ties to Irish folklore specifically. I have always felt connected to Celtic traditions too (since I was a kid) and have never really understood why or where it came from.

    @Michael Sean May I ask, what country you live in? This is ALL so incredibly interesting to me. Our last name is O'Reilly. My father was the name sake of a Irish Catholic priest who stood along side the Irish immigrants (him being one) in the war ( more like street fight) of NY , back when it was New Amsterdam. If you watch the movie "New Amsterdam " with Leonardo DiCaprio, the priest was depicted in that movie. That movie is kinda like the "Titanic". Mostly historically accurate. ......with the exception of the "Rose and Jack" story line........New Amsterdam is a great movie if you can sit threw the 3 1/2 hours. Hahaha. My husband past away when my youngest was 3 months old. I am doing my best to trace down his lineage, but so far............well if my son didn't look exactly like me, I might think I brought the wrong kid home with the DNA he has come up with. Hahaha, China, Pakistani, Spain, India.......if you look it follows the East Indian trade routes. Then there is Viking (who invaded Ireland) I just find it SO fascinating. Where we all came from, where we ended up. How we can trace our lineage and compare it to our DNA. I am telling you it is an AMAZING time to be alive.

    On my first visit to Morocco 40 years ago, I was watching four street musicians, two violin players and two percussionists. The rhythms and scales were a bit alien to my ears to start with but the musicianship was superb so I tipped them and hung around a while. I noticed that I coud count in both threes and fours and then one of those cold shivers went down my back as the thought came out of nowhere that if the Irish band The Chieftains were here they would be jamming effortlessly within a couple of minutes with these street performers. The name of one of the percussive instrument was called bendir which was very similar to the Irish bodhran.

    I am of Irish descent and I always do this. There were about three or four colonizations of Ireland the stories of the fearlaeth and the ferBolga I'm using talk to text and it just won't copy correctly and the tautha du dannin. The melanesians. The giant balllor of bales. The one-eyed for formoan king. Who was a pirate from an island. My grandmother's hair was as black as silt. And so was her daughter's. And the Irish had gypsies too. Though they had a different name. The island was originally uninhabited until the older tribes the formoans came from the middle East. They wared with the children of Danu. Until peace was made through marriage everybody in the world is related to somebody else so the kings of old are the ancestors of the present-day people I am a direct descendant of Cormac McCarthy high King of all of Ireland. And Ballor of Bales. The king of the formoans. The McCarthy's lost the high seat to the O'Neal's. We also sided against Queen Elizabeth and with the Spanish. For some reason I'm thinking 1540 but the Spanish Armada was 1599.and Here's a little bit of information for you. Leprechauns and fairies both exist. Although I've never seen a banshee.

The Irish are closely related to the Basque's of northern spain The Basque's being one of if not the most persecuted people in history. The Basque's not only being the closest mainland relation to the indigenous Irish but are also very closely related to the indigenous peoples of Japan the Ainu. The narrative of history as given to us is incorrect.

    The "upright position" only came in at the turn of the last century when Ireland was trying to develop its own culture, so instead of the free form Sean-nos (old way) of dancing where arms, upper body and legs were moving, only the legs were moving. So sorry, no. Its nothing related to Dabke dancing. Only an attempt at creating a cultural identity.

    In terms of archeology and genetics arguably one of the earliest records of human activity in Ireland was the remnants of a butchered deer bone found in a cave in either Kerry or cork I believe that dates from 30,000 years ago. And is one of the oldest artefacts for human activity in the British isles. And in Irish mythology the coming of people to Ireland is seen in waves and this is reflected through history too. Where we had prehistoric hunter-gatherers, neolithic farmers, and then the bronze age Smith's and craftsmen. And these peoples likely came here through boat or through land bridges just at the end of the last ice age. And in our mythology you have the fomorians, the tuatha de danann, and the Gaels (with the fir bolg shoehorned in as well). We learn a lot of this from the pseudohistorical book of invasions in which the Irish are the descendants of Noah after the flood and eventually they split into three groups the tuatha de dannan, the fir bolg, and Gaels. The fir bolgs go to Greece where they are enslaved and made to carry bags of soil for agriculture (hence fir bolg means men of bags), the tuatha went to the north to 3 cities where they learned magic and sorcery. The Gaels went to Iberia where they learned warfare, crafting, smithing, and how to work the land and one of their soldiers was the Míl Espaine or (the soldier of Spain). First the fir bolg came who where then conquered by the tuatha and their magic, then the Gaels came who conquered the tuatha due to their better mastery of the land. While pseudohistorical the idea of our ancestors coming from Iberia is found not only in Irish texts but also in a few other medieval Christian texts and it is described as the "motherland of all races". But let's go back to the historical people's. You have prehistoric hunter gatherers who were then conquered by neolithic farmers who there then conquered by bronze age Smith's and craftsmen. Now post-glacial we find the emergence of the ancient Version of the Basque language spread throughout Europe going north, followed by Indo-European language spread in the early neolithic times spreading west, followed by the Semitic languages coming up the western coast of Europe. And in fact, the "Celtic language" emerged quite later in Europe. The term Celtic in fact is really only a linguistic term for la guage groups and at best a cultural one too, but it is not a genetic or ethnic term. An interesting features in all of this is the bell-beaker culture which was a style of pottery and arguably people that we think came from Portugal and spread out all over Europe at the time and some of the earliest recorded evidence we have of this comes from Iberia and Portugal. This pottery made its way to Ireland and is believed to have lasted in Ireland for a period of time after the decline of this culture in mainland Europe. And it is widely believed that the Celts came from central Europe. However, this translation is based on a mistake. When the historian Herodotus beloved that the Danube started in the Pyrenees and that the homeland of the Celts was at the sources of the Danube. So later on, scholars in the 19th-20th centuries had better maps and knew that the Danube started in central Europe and so this account of Herodotus was changed to it meaning central Europe, even though everything thing else Herodotus states says the Celts originated in Iberia. So we have archeological evidence stating that there is a great link between Ireland and Iberia, and also written accounts from Ireland and Rome stating yea the Celts came from here. But what about genetics? Well it has been found that in terms of blood groupings and DNA evidence that the Basque peoples, modern day Iberians, and modern day Irish and Scottish people and linked closer to each other than any other peoples in Europe. So we can pretty much say that the ancient Irish came from somewhere in the Iberian peninsula. Moreover due to the Iberian peninsulas close proximity to North Africa and it being on the Mediterranean and that Iberia has one of the highest levels of North African DNA in Europe and can be found all the way back to Carthaginian times if not perhaps before this also. So there is a strong link between Ireland and North Africa. Plus if we go into Christian times in the early centuries in Ireland a lot of the artwork teachings brought to Ireland from missionaries who came from the Mediterranean and Roman Britain settled here and directly had an effect on early Irish-christian culture. However, in terms of bel and ba'al. It's likely that bel wasn't an Irish god and merely a creation of early Irish Christian scholars because they did in fact make up characters and stories. For example, the children of lir is an entirely Christian story. Moreover, his association with the festival of Beltane is an entirely a modern belief as with all Irish festival they used to mark certain dates in the agricultural year. It doesn't mean fire of bel it most likely means bright fire and was used to mark summer and the return of good weather. Moreover, we can tell which gods in Irish mythology were real and which ones were fictional through entomology, archeology, and depiction. For example Lugh is most likely an Irish version of the Indo-European god Lugus as their name is the same and they have similar associations. And moreover lughs depiction Irish mythology is never consistent he is either a great hero, a magical human, a druid, a spirit, and that in the story of the tailteann games is seen to be be victorious over the spirits of the otherworld seemingly implying he's not one. Bel has none of this and just vaguely appears. It's likely that early Christian scholars were aware of this demon in Christian belief and while writing about Ireland's ancient past put him as to highlight Ireland's pagan past with a demon they were familiar with.

    Yes indeed-‘today’s issues seem not so unusual.’ They only seem impossible to understand when looking a history in the flat earth modern day mindset of evolutionary archaeology/biology... As it obscures these extremely close connections we have to the past. Whereas evolutionary biology makes us think we are long separated... But at the same time it also seems kind of ridiculous how we (naturally) will only look back so far, like a few generations in our traceable family tree and then act like that is our origin point. It reminds me of how Hollywood or folklore even, will only look back to a certain (usually) deified person, not continue back further to the origins of the deified person... like all the super hero movies, never explain the source of the source... Like they don’t want to mess up a ‘good’ story with the real story-‘our’ (/‘the’) true/ultimate origin story...

And all those places with Ros or Ross this, are places we named after ourselves during our Occupation, and most Ross' in Ireland are Ross' and not named after where they were born, similar to how the Chief of Ross the 4th Earl of Ross took on the Surname for the Earldom he Ruled, the Earldom of Ross, and since we were the Richest and most Powerful Pedigree, Family, Clan! In the Highlands second only in power to the King who was also our Cousin generally, no one could name themselves Ross in the past either. Not even in England, for long before the Stuarts as Royals we bred with all the other Royals, like the English Crown, French Crown and the Sort!

At the time of their leaving Ireland they were principally Scots living on land granted to them in Ireland. Unfortunately, or fortunately for them they had backed the crown in the English Civil War, which led to them being dispossessed from lands in Ireland to come to a new land. It was said by some that Fomorians had come from the area of Greece, where they had at one time been slaves. I enjoy your content very much, and again thank-you.

I am totally open minded but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and the crumbs we’re left with from deep antiquity pose many questions but leave few answers, especially when it comes to the topic of a sophisticated and technologically advanced pre ice age civilisation, giants, ancient aliens etc. There are too many true believers who don’t understand the difference between secondary and primary evidence and so they rely not on first hand investigation but on what they read, which is often based on skewed interpretations of “evidence” that authors twist to support their confirmation biases and beliefs. This is so frustrating because it keeps the truth at a distance. Ego in this area is particularly dangerous - too many middle aged men resolute that their theory is the right one. The truth is that in many cases, they do not know. Hawass may be right, he may be wrong, Hancock has been proved right in America Before but not the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, Bauval may never be proved right etc.

I've extensively had my DNA tested an it's conclusive, my ancestors were absolutely 100% from the middle east, before they migrated through the northern reaches (specifically Norway) and then settled for a long time in the Hebrides - I even know which small island in the Hebrides they settled on. Then they moved through Scotland and into Ireland, before coming across the pond to America. Even in America we continued to migrate all the way west (I'm in California presently). This isn't speculation, it's my ancestral lineage (paternal specifically) traced through documented records and backed up by DNA evidence. I honestly find it weird that you (or anyone for that matter) would find this strange in the slightest. Humans are a quite migratory species, and we always have been.

What was unusual is that my father's DNA was 33% British Isles. We were able to view a map with other people with the same haplogroup. He matched a lot of people from County Cork, Ireland. My family has been in NM over 500 years. Our haplogroup is JM172, Jewish. I keep asking these genealogist and historians where this British Isles DNA comes from because my father's family is well documented way back into the 1500's.
