I believe they would give birth in the chamber, as to continue a linage. There is still echoes of this in Tibbet with the Lamas. Good work

At 4:19, fascinating to see that the incest story seems to have been vindicated by modern science!

The best stories always have an element of truth to them, it makes them more believable. Also like many stories, there is often an agenda. As we all know to well, these principles still apply today.

The phrase "had his way with her" is an example of that inexplicit agenda you mention, in language specifically (old, old patriarchal agenda meant to disempower women with violent sexual language and speaking as if women were objects or toys). While many today might not even realize they're doing it, these old agendas are widely furthered regardless

@@StrawmnMcPerson Not at all. I have also heard the expression "she had her way with him". Your conflating my comment with what is a very apparent sexist comment. There is no suggestion of violence neither is there any objectification. The expression simple means to get what one wants and is commonly used in reference to sex.

@@Finderskeepers. ? I'm not conflating your comment with some sexist (?) phrase, I'm providing an example from the video that illustrates your point. To which you responded essentially "nah, that's not real" without any backing or explanation -- just "sexually violent wording is fine, just change the pronouns"…? 🙃

@@StrawmnMcPerson You are conflating. What story are you referring to with the expression ? Where is there a reference to violence ? How does it objectify ? Your the one who choose to make it gender specific making it sexist.

yes they still around if you have a few drops of their blood, you can tune into them, also by listening to the irish traditional music.... when man arrived they hid in the land, having looked into the hearts of man. the tuatha de dannan, are trible of goddess Dana her sister or twin, Brighde goddess, offered to stay as a bridge, between the worlds so ask her help, if you want to connect..... they left us messages, in their castles and palaces, ie carved into the stone..... the light held in stone and the light box and the sound resonance of the chambers, ie 110 hertz. traditionally, we form a relationship, with them, rather than worship then. humans evolve by karma.. the dedaan evolve by the elements. good luck with yr quest.... are you irish.. read A E, story, where he meets angus, in newgrange... he was in contact, as was Yeats read his poetry
