I love mythology but of all the myths the Irish are my favorite! 💚🤍🧡

If people are wondering, it is believed Tolkien created the name Sauron from the Old Irish _Samhradh_ (sow-rah). A byname of Balor that means "summer" but in context to Balor is better translated as drought or blight.

I really like the take on /DanuDanann being arts. I’ve been building a city, using Cities Skylines, that is based on the Túatha dé and the beauty of it is more based on mastery of arts (grand earthworks, vast transportation systems , much being underground, and complexes of stylized domains/neighborhoods) rather than fantastical. Very nice video, it gives me more to think about.

Another highly diverting contribution to your increasingly comprehensive overview of Irish mythology. Great images too, although contemporary artists always seem to put female goddesses/heroines/etc. into unnecessarily revealing and unlikely costumes ;)

Excellent video. I thought Tuatha de Danann meant "People of the Shining Valley." I have heard before that the Danube river in Bulgaria may have some connotation to the Tuatha de Danann.

I always thought it was odd how all the gods of old were labeled as fallen angels as soon as Christendom hit the scene. The bible itself in the old testament acknowledged many times that multiple gods existed and governed the lands. The original wording, Elohim, meaning the gods, and bene Elohim, meaning the children of the gods.

Great Video, this is one of the more confusing but still interesting aspects of Irish and Celtic mythology I've run across while researching it, especially Danu. Compared to their cousin pantheons of Norse and Greek gods, Celtic gods seem to be true immortals as they don't need to eat something to retain their youth and vitality like Nectar, golden apples etc but can be slain or possibly reincarnate depending on if they actually believed in reincarnation, many Norse gods die but I cant remember if any Greek ones gods. Celtic mythology has way more goddesses then other European gods making it more similar to Hindu mythology and pre Indo European mythology which seemed to worship mostly goddesses which might also be where Danu might stem from if she's not made up and most Celtic gods are earth or water gods rather then sky or gods of the cosmos. Celtic mythology also doesn't have a creation or apocalypse myth or at least has no surviving ones. Id say Celtic mythology is a little more similar to animism and things like Native American folk lore and Shintoism where spirits are god like. like the animal gods of the forest in the Ghibli film Princess Mononoke give me some Celtic god vibes if that makes sense lol. but in the end its impossible to know how much of Roman and Christianity influenced what's left of Irish and Celtic mythology so its impossible to know we can only guess.

Nice video fair play, thanks for sharing.🌱🌅🍀

Hi... over the past 30 years I have been researching Irish Myths and another 5 years compiling the research into a logical format. Along with an extensive family tree going back thousands of years. I like yourself questioned whether the myths were real or mythical but came to the conclusion they were in fact real people. Like Mil Espaine was not a name but a title but who was the man given this title. Who lead the Milesians to Ireland... from Miletus why? The Book of Invasions: Excerpts Vol II: Míl in Egypt "Now Pharoah had a daughter named Scota, and Mil asked for that maiden, and Pharoah gave her to him: and that Scota bore two sons to him, Amorgen Glungel and Eber their names. It is then that Alexander, king of the world, drove out that Pharaoh, for he was not submissive to him, and expelled him southward into southern Eithiopia..." Before that In 334 BC, the Siege of Miletus by the forces of Alexander the Great of Macedonia conquered the city from the Persians and liberated the city. So using that as a starting point for Mil Esapine I worked backwards... and it all fit. It took a few years to piece together who Mil Espaine was. Nearchus or Nearchos ( Greek Νέαρχος; c.360 - 300 BC) was one of the Greek officers, a navarch, , on Alexander's orders, sailed from the Hydaspes River in western India to the Persian Gulf and up the Euphrates River to Babylon. While Nearchus was in egypt he and Alexander hunted Lions they killed 3 and they were laid out beside each other their blood stained the sands and Nearchus was so struch by the sight he took the inage as his new banner 3 lions on a red back ground. Called the Lions of Milesius which is associated with Mil Espaine. Hecataeus of Miletus, an early Greek geographer and world map-maker was the first known to use the term Iberia (Espaine) at about 500 BC. Who named Iberia. The word Iberia is a noun adapted from the Latin word "Hiberia" (Hibernia) originating in the Ancient Greek word Ἰβηρία (Ibēríā), To describe the Ebro River area. Hibernia is the Latin name for Ireland, taken from Greek accounts of the island. It was used by Roman historians, Nectanebo II was ultimately defeated by the combined Persian-Greek forces in the Battle of Pelusium. In 342 BC the Persians occupied Memphis and the rest of Egypt, incorporating the country back into the Achaemenid Empire. Nectanebo fled south and preserved his power for some time; his subsequent fate is unknown. And as the Irish annals told he was defeated by Alexander the great and was the last Egyptian ruler of history. The Ptolomy Kings reigned after him. But this event does not default to Nectanebo II having an adopted daughter named Scota (Scota was not a name it was where she was from) She would be Amy Tea of Scota.( Amy daughter of King Ateas of Scythia (Scota)) Nearchus (Mil) first wife was Seang the daughter of King Ateas as well But in the unused funeral chamber of the Pharoah this inscription is found. Scota Tephi/Teas (Amy-r-taeus) child birth: ♂ Wehrir [?] child birth: ♂ Colpa [?] child birth: ♂ Amyrtaeus (Amenirdisu) [?] marriage: ♂ # Galamh ? (Milidh) [?] < -343? title: Princess of Egypt Here is a marriage recorded in Egyptian records of a daughter of Nectanebo II in 343 BC, to a here to unknown man named Galamh or possibly Milidh. (Both are credited to Mil Espáine) Galamh is a name given for Mil of Spain and Milidh an Egyptian variation of Mil. His wife Scota Tephi which one of the three I can’t be sure of but there is a record of Nectanebo II giving two of his daughters away as wives to secure alliances with other Kings which would leave the youngest of the three possibly for Galamh her name being Amyrtaeus or Amy Teas, Teaphi possibly. “During the sojourn of Milesius in Egypt, he employed the most ingenious and able persons among his people to be instructed in the several trades, arts, and sciences used in Egypt; in order to have them taught to the rest of his people on his return to Spain. [The original name of Milesius of Spain was, as already mentioned, “Galamh” (gall : Irish, a stranger; amh, a negative affix), which means, no stranger: meaning that he was no stranger in Egypt, where he was called “Milethea Spaine,” which was afterwards contracted to “Miló Spaine” (meaning the Spanish Hero), and finally to “Milesiius” (mileadh: Irish, a hero; Lat. miles, a soldier). And recorded in Egyptian records as Milidh.] At length Milesius took leave of his father-in-law, and steered towards Spain; where he arrived to the great joy and comfort of his people; who were much harassed by the rebellion of the natives and by the intrusion of other foreign nations that forced in after his father’s death, and during his own long absence from Spain. With these and those he often met; and, in fifty-four battles, victoriously fought, he routed, destroyed, and totally extirpated them out of the country, which he settled in peace and quietness.” And became known as The Hero of Spain... Mil Espaine. What confounded everything and made it almost impossible to track down was the dates attributed to everything according to the 4 masters, Their dates were all over the place. SO I decided to find out which one of the 4 were correct.... None of them were. If you are interested I'll send you a PDF of everything research and family trees. I tried to find an email but found no way to drop you a line.

the tuatha de danann ... like asgardians and the thunderbirds of north america are hybrids ... crosses between humans and the fae ... that fought in a great war ... there are/were others. the tuatha were one of the groups that made it home.

You have done an absolutely first rate job of this. Always appreciate that. Thanks. ∆

10:00 NOICE!

Legend has it. That the Tuatha Dé Danann went into a sleep when people lost faith in them with the arrival of the celts and their ruthlessness nature so the Tuatha Dé Danann disappeared into the forest and went into a deep sleep in a cave and will come back if someone finds them and wakes them up at a time when the Irish need them and have faith in them again…I think that time is now.

Well done.

Interesting video, but the speaker speaks too fast, so hard to follow and digest.

The intro is the best one-minute sumary ever 😂 Love it!

Tribe of Dan became the Mycenaeans, Vikings, and the Tuatha de danaan

Another excellent video by IrishMyths! I'm now making my way through all of them in order. The AI art adds a lot to the videos, as a lot of these depictions don't exist as far as I know otherwise. I was also happy to hear your discussion of the Gods of Skill/ Arts instead of the People of the Goddess Danu. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos!

wow, this was a great video. thanks!

I am writing a novel based in the clash between the ancient Celtic world and the neighbouring Roman Empire on Ireland with the return of an exiled prince, Tuathal, at the time of the Roman governor Agricola. In my interpretation of the Tuatha de Danaan, they are humans of the tribe of Nimed who fled Ireland into the western sea as their cousins fled East to become the Fir Bolg. Far in the west they developed skills, science and magic, only to return to Ireland as essentially semi-divine beings. Most have long since left for Tir na nÒg, or my personal favourite, Hy Braesil, but some have slept beneath the Sidhe mounds and need to be placated by the Gaelic Irish. Why they remain? To guard against the foretold return of the Formorians!

3:30 i like that now transition

I enjoyed this video

Michael Tsarion has a theory that the Tuatha De were the lost megalith builders who founded Egypt, Greece, the Vedic civilisation, the Mayan etc. He says this is why 6 pharaohs had red hair as well as hundreds of mummies. Also why Menes, Akhenaton’s daughter Scota and Tea Tephi are all buried in Ireland. This explains why Sanskrit and Gaelic are Identical - the word itself coming from the Gaelic San Scourtia meaning sacred document. He asserts Kukulkan is likely Cuchulainn the Irish Demi god and hundreds of other proofs.

Christianity may promote a single God, but I Enoch talks about how fallen spirits taught mankind arts and skills. It's not hard to understand why Yeats agreed with the connection. In fact the Tuathe De seem very similar to the Sumerian Apkallu as well.

The sword from Findias (likely Finland) was on fire like the sword of Surtr in Norse creation mythology, or the sword god gives the cherubim to defend Eden in Hebrew creation mythology. (Tuatha de Dannan are the lost Tribe of Dan). The River Brent in England is aparently named after Brigidt of the Tuatha de Dannan, yet the word Brent/Brendt comes from "Brandr", an Old Norse word meaning firey sword. Ever heard the theory that the Garden of Eden was in Finland? It's interesting if you care to look into it. I found old maps matching rivers in Finland to the descriptions of the rivers of Eden in the bible and documents written about it, and videos on KZfaq for folks who don't read. Old World Florida addressed on his chanel once or twice, dudes all about some Finns. "Finn" is a common Irish surname and means "Fair". "Finnr" in old Norse means specifically the Finnish Sami people. Weird hints too like Sweden is hinting that it is SW Eden, like South West Eden which aims right at Finland. Also Tolkien based the Elves on the Finnish, astheticly and even the language. He had really specific beliefs about the Finnish. If people mistakenly interpret Tolkiens Finnish Elves as The Tuatha de Dannan it makes perfect sense given the connection here.

Just found my new favorite KZfaq channel for Game dev research

Greetings Irish Myth! Loved your videos! As a practicing Green/Hedge witch or healer I use alot of spiritual and historical leanings such as from the Tuatha Du Danann legend and other Celtic lore. Ive heard of the River Danube I do think there is association there and the Celtic tribes. There is a Goddess Abnoba who is Galeo-Roman Goddess of the springs forest and mountains. There is another Gallo-Roman Goddess known as Artio who a bear goddess is and associated with the woodlands and wild animals as well. Very intriguing how the words and interpretations are all interrelated some way or another. Cant wait for more videos! Many Bright Blessings 🐺 🐻 )0(

I'd like to suggest that you slow down your delivery ever so slightly. ☮ (edit: and by slightly .. I mean a lot. Also, don't let the music be near the volume of your voice. Hopefully this feedback will be received in the constructive manner in which it is offered.)

They were humans and they came from Scandinavia via Scotland to Ireland and in the Bronze Age. Thats why so many Nordic Gods have so many similarities to Celtic Gods. And being in the Bronze Age, the languages of Western Coastal Europe were all much closing related. Furthermore, peoples coming from Scandinavia to Ireland, is much older than the era we call the “Vikings”.

The best trope that fits the Tuatha De Danann isn't Gods its Archons. This trope describes an ancient now vanished technologically or magically advanced civilization and it is everywhere. Most people think of this trope in its sci-fi or fantasy terms as the Precursors and Forerunners and Protheans or the Numenoreans and the Old/High Republic and the old Tevinter Imperium or some such, but you see it constantly in history and mythology as well with many people mythologizing ancient Egypt, Babylon, Sumer, the ancient Chinese empires, the ancient Vedic peoples, and of course, the Romans. The reason I think of this trope as the 'Archons' is because of the charming video game 'Fable' which does both, set in a mythologized medieval England, their vanished advanced civilization is a sort of mythic hybrid of Numenoreans and the Roman Empire, formed by a hero-king walking trope named Archon, which I find all to be terribly on the nose.

It means the tribe of Dan, the Israelite tribe who sailed and landed in Ireland

Glad u can say it properly

love the information.. but good man, there is no need to rush your storytelling. these are ancient matters, and as treebeard says: “we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say it”.

1:40 what about epona?

I'm not saying they're aliens . . . but they're aliens.

I am pretty positive that the tuatha de were the fey and that Tolkien was right to represent them as elves.... though fey refers to fairy kind, elves, merpeople, sasquatch, and multiple other fey races

The tribe of Dan

Nose tax was going too far imo.

"Tribe of The Arts"

Why doesn't anyone talk about Bress?

The Godhead is Irish ❤

2:54 my name means son of the seas

Have i been mispronouncing McLeod?

0:16 kinda like valkyries exepct she doesnt take fallen warriors to valhalla

one peice the d family

They were the Nephilim that settled the Islands.

Are they anything to do with the tribe of Dan - who was the son of Jacob? One of the 12 tribes of Israel. In the bible like… 🫣

They're only considered gods because they are smarter and harder to kill than most everyone else 😂

Basically ancient irish believed that they were humans and their ancestors who became gods .. we buried our ancients in the mounds .. so the tuatha de became associated .. but christians came and converted us and christian monks said that we were from spain and colonized the island and massacred those who DNA tests show now were our ancestors in the mounds/graves and that we should not practise ancestor worship. So basically the anciet irish believed that they were both .. humans our ancestors who became gods. Because why worship a god who isnt blood to you? why would they care ?? only your family cares.

I love learning about mythology, but the comments sections of these videos always attract the biggest kooks.

IDK... They're behaviors do sound a lot like Greek & Roman deities😅

The fir bog do not come from greece, greece came afrter the irish there decents of us your butchering irish history

monkey d luffy

Irish + Seagal= Jewish.. then one side Levant only ..then Levant +North América came along .. its in my dna Tuatha De Danaan aka Tafolla De Durango Tepehuanes México #ComptonCaliLove

You’re assuming you know the exact date of the pyramids there’s a lot of reasons to believe that they’re much older than what we thought so you might want to rethink about your dates when you say 1000 years before or after they were built there’s a lot of people that are starting to believe that they’re much much olderway older

Don't you think you should call this hyborians myths since ALL magic the god witches royally ect hyborian Ireland just got name that reasonly
