It’s great that you cover such underrated history, in schools they only teach of the Greeks, the Romans, Egyptians, then skip the rest of ancient history and go straight to ww2, we should be learning of our ancestors from our own isle as well, not only the celts but the beakers, the megaliths and the Hunter gatherers as well, as from great structures like Stonehenge we see a semblance of civilisation from these people, not as complex as the Greeks Romans or Egyptians but none the less fascinating and important to learn about, this whole history is like an age hidden away from the modern world

Its because many cultures didn't have a writing system to record their own history and even if they did it would have to be preserved. That's precisely the reason in comparison we don't know as much about the acient celtic religion to roman paganism. Oh yes and even if both above requirements are met. If the language completely dies out it would be almost impossible to decipher.

Your description of the God king of Carrowkeel gave me the shivers. I grew up near there as a kid. On a particularly dark and stormy day, Me and my friends once found a burned horse carcass up there covered in candle wax. My brother broke his leg up there on the same day, and me and my friends had to help drag him back down the mountain to the car. I never knew a more ominous and desolate place. We loved and hated it.

There's a roman spring near where I live in a place called knypersly. The Romans built steps into it etc and the story is that people thought it could heal you. Not many people around here are even aware it exists so I felt quite pleased with myself for knowing about it and finding it. One time I visited it the trees surrounding it were covered in ribbons and tied up twigs tied onto the trees and other offerings. It just creeped me out slightly knowing that someone felt hidden enough (because of peoples ignorance of the place) to leave all that stuff. Must have takes ages. It felt like I was trespassing.

Great work, mate. I used to live a few miles from Newgrange. It's a fascinating structure with an incredibly engineered roof system. People think it's just a natural hill that the builders tunnelled into, but that is not the case at all. The interior is bone dry, year round, and the amount of rain we get in Ireland is testament to just how advanced the roofing system is.

Many Americans lament the decline in their overall collective dismissal of their European heritage in favor of the excesses of materialism and commercialism.

Magnificant video as always, STJ! I would like to point out that inbreeding does not automatically lead to Inbreeding depression (the accumulation of hereditary diseases and lack of vitality). In parents who are the result of very strong selection (like the WHG) and are therefore very healthy and carry very few gene variants of recessive hereditary diseases, the negative effects are less drastic and will probably become more frequent only after several generations of inbreeding. From Wikipedia: "In prehistoric times, the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) went through such an extremely narrow genetic bottleneck that today, without a rejection reaction, tissue can be transferred from one cheetah to any other, which is otherwise only possible in identical twins." But this "pure breeding" is only possible if the selection pressure remains very high over generations.

@@jerrywiese Yes, to that conclusion came the Iceland paper. I think they studied family trees of the last few centuries. It all depends on how harsh the environment is. If the selection pressure, and therefore the purge of mutants, is even harder than these Icelandic conditions it could be reduced to 1st and 2nd cousins. Below that would be problematic, I guess, because at some point the group selection kicks in, to alleviate minor mutations in individuals out of ingroup solidarity. My example above with cheetahs is extreme and cannot be transferred to humans because in solitary animals the selection pressure is much higher than in social animals like humans.

What I would like to know is if the Tuatha de Danann of Irish mythology could be correlated to the Beaker ware people as myths say they came by ships to Ireland and were noted for their skill in metal work, music and medicine. I have often found that "myths" often are oral histories of events that happened.

I would imagine that the WHG men stayed on top because of some sort of religious cult. In a previous video on this channel it was speculated that the druids come from a pre-celtic custom unique to Britain that then spread onto the gaul, rather than a celtic custom that was brought over from the continent. This is something that Caecar recorded in his works, though it is hard to prove with limited evidence. Perhaps the WHG were able to become revered as sages or priests and gained dominance in that sense even though the neolithic invaders were more advanced in regards to technology. Over time this priestly class survived as the druids or maybe even the Fili.

Very interesting! Especially the DNA studies that could show relations between different dead ones in the megalithic tombs! I hope more such studies could be made. The stone circles are interesting too. I found the MUCH younger (some are from the Bronze age, but most are from the Migration period or a bit later) stone circle tradition of Scandinavia very fascinating as well, mainly because of all interpretations of them during historical times.

It's fascinating to see connections between Ireland and Balkan where you can find megalithic structures built in almost same fashion. Also some other things like hill Tara you mentioned, there's a mountain in Serbia called Tara. Then there's my friend Garry from Scotland that revealed to me that Serbs and Scots use same word for dogs that is "ker",also bagpipes that have been played on Balkans from Neolithic.

Very good video. Slowly the pieces are coming together. More information is coming to light all the time about the neolithic. Before the neolithic there is not much to explain (except for language). It is the period from 8,000 BC to the dawn of written history that represents the real Dark Ages. So much happened and we know so little. This video is part of the new decipherment. Keep up the good work!

This is fascinating stuff. I have been to Newgrange twice and found really interesting. Also visited Dowth and Knowth. When I was there, a lot of the recent findings you talked about were not yet known, so the tour guides were even more speculative. I would be interested in your speculation, as somebody interesting in ancient religion, on what you think the belief system of the people was all about.

While Njord was with the Vanaland people he had taken his own sister in marriage, for that was allowed by their law; and their children were Frey and Freya. But among the Asaland people it was forbidden to intermarry with such near relations (Ynglinga saga 4, Laing's translation).

Quite seriously, dark-skinned doesn't mean what you think oy means. My blue-eyed father would tan up so dark that he was once refused service at a pre-Civil Rights era southern restaurant. I tan up that dark if you leave me out in the sun, which what most people were back then -- out in the sun a lot. Both he and I never burned. I guess I have me some pretty archaic skin and genes.

For the record: at least one of the tombs at Lough Crew are oriented towards the equinox. Re the solstice: imagine living through a northern winter at that time -- I think it would be incredibly important to know when that tide turns, when the days are going to get longer. There were probably then religious overlays, but I would suggest that the origin was the want and need to know that winter was "turning".

The story about the rebirth of souls during winter solstice gives me hope. I think it's intended not only for the afterlife purposes, but also for the hope of leaving your problems and failures in the old cycle and starting anew in the new one. The same way modern people hope for new life in the new year. Also the structure of the tomb at 15:50 resembles christian churches. It seems the european spirit is indestructible.

I think just studying how humans have been adaptable tool makers and story tellers for millennia into prehistory is rewarding. Has anyone researched the progression of burial vs non- burial customs?
