I'm not going to criticise all the mangling of Gaelic words and names, I will only say that I live in Ireland and underground rivers are a common phenomenon here, a wall was built near near my family home and in digging the foundation they hit bedrock very early and caused a fissure that water immediately started rising from it took them a full month to plug it up and the wall was moved slightly to avoid the spot, twenty years later a contractor was building maybe thirty foot from the spot and did the same but made an actual hole, the water bubbled up furiously and they couldn't stop it, they tried filling it with concrete, tons of the stuff and quick setting, but the water kept coming, six months of trial and error followed with the pumps going day and night to prevent flooding before eventually they managed to stop it, so a lake appearing from nowhere is not mythology it's a risk you run if you dig in the wrong place.

Super videos, really really informative. The Irish myths can be so fragmented with so many different versions it's great to see the different aspects discussed as whole. I can't help mentioning it but in Irish a gh is silent. Traditionally names like Lugh would be pronounced as Lu. Also the Tuath de Dana would be pronounced as Too-ah day Dan an. Irish names are so tough to pronounce anyway (the spelling can at best be considered a rough guide, at worst a phonetical trap😂).

When my father was building our house in the Irish countryside he got talking with an old man by the road who told him not to build the house where he was because it was fairy land, which sure enough there is a "fairy" ring of mushrooms on the hill next to it. Now one thing to consider is my father had no idea who this old man was and neither did anyone that he asked. Now we live in your most stereotypical small town where everyone knows everyone and considering this old fella knew about a fairy ring on land that's been in my family for a couple generations at least and was never seen again after that chat by the roadside I cant help but think there was definitely something suspect about him. And now I aint saying this is connected, I'll leave that for the reader to decide, but a year or 2 after this when the house was pretty much built my fathers mental state started getting more irrational (potential bipolar disorder idk) to the point where he assaulted my mother since she didint want to give him more of her savings to keep building onto the house, and well 1 divorce and roughly 10 years later my father decided to take his own life. I've always pondered over the years on if these two series of events were related and i think its safe to say that I will never know for certain. But one thing I do know for certain is that I am never going to take the gamble and mess with any land/shrub/tree thats owned by faries. Real or not if you ask me its sometimes better not to find out.

Another thing about Cu Chulainn's death, he made two vows - first that he would never refuse a meal from a host and second that he would never eat dog meat. So of course his enemies tricked him and offered him a meal of dog meat, forcing him to break a vow which in turn weakened his spirit and made him more vulnerable when he went to face his final battle.

I had never heard this part of the story before! Thanks so much for sharing, definitely adds another layer to the narrative, tying his death back to his "birth" as a hero (when he kills Culann’s hound). Brilliant storytelling

@@irishmyths I may be slightly mistaken only in that the never rejecting a meal is never rejecting a meal from a woman so a version of the story goes that it's an old crone who tricks him into eating dog meat. Also, just in case you ever have to say it again, "sliotar" is pronounced "slitter"

There's a tumulus in Upton, Massachusetts. It's nestled along side a swampy lake and has a beehive like inside with dirt between the stones that when dated suggests may be built in the 1600s. It's doorway also aligns with the setting sun occasionally. Just a handful of miles from it are Cairns on top of a hill. The local Nipmuc, Ponnagansette, and Narragansett tribes do not have a history with stone working as they lived migratory lives between the ocean and the inland lakes depending on the hunting season. Edit: Stone work was common in the sense on knapping- sort of. The stones inland are brittle quarts and granite which don't make great knapping materials. However masonry or tomb building is scarce.

I hate that the Roman's with their stupid book that's was clearly hi jacked by the jewish people for some reason tried to erase other cultures and beliefs. Yet so many people act like the Bible is some guide given to world to follow. Yeah fucking right! Can places and people sticks to their own areas. It pisses me off that the Romans tried to erase history in other parts of the world and infiltrate them with their stupid cult. I don't even get why the romans who had nothing to do with Jewish people decided to use it as their blue print for a Book to control people. It's such a mid evil barbaric book. People were forced into being christians or they were murdered. I find it odd that this book still holds power and so much oppression over people. Jewish people don't even follow this book yet non jewish people follow a dark and twisted book about some jewish savior. It makes zero since! Can we seriously leave that book in the dark ages where it belongs.

great video, I remember reading somewhere that people think that the Famorians could have been some sort of Nordsman given the goat-horned helmets, and also considering that the same group who inhabited Iceland (known for its volcanoes) are the same ones who ended up in the north of Ireland where Tory Island is, could Balor's eye be a volcano, a single fiery eye that causes death and destruction, the 7 stages at 10:41 kind of sound like what would happen if a volcano was erupting. Maybe he entered mythology from a Nordsman from Iceland, have you come across anything like that in your research?
