Ancient History of Ireland 🇮🇪 Newgrange, Celts, Vikings ☘️
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Ireland has a rich and fascinating ancient history; from the great megalithic structures of the Neolithic, like Newgrange, to the spectacular gold jewellery of the Indo-European Bell Beaker folk, the weapon hoards of the Irish Bronze Age, the enigmatic La Tene Celtic art of the Iron Age and the intricate knot-work of the Hiberno-Norse in the Irish Viking age. I look at all of these in this brief account of the history of Ireland, and then I discover a gothic castle called Knockdrinn, in which my ancestors lived, and which local people believe to be haunted. Finally, I read some spooky accounts of the ghostly creatures of the castle taken from the folklore collection at University College Dublin.

Survive the Jive Hey Jive, another awesome video dude! Keep up the great work. You should do a history video on the legendary five invasions of Ireland.
@The Citizen Reporter 3 do not reupload my videos please
3:56 didnt you mention something about a fertility cult at the beggining, well I do think this is a religious item for sure than! naughtypagans.com :)
There's a huge chunk of Ireland missing at start of video, so you mus'nt know that much about Eire
What's funny is alot of people think our history is just the famine and the troubles. Kind of nice to see you leave it out.
I’ve got a good bit of Irish in me and love learning about history both Irish and the ancient world in general
@@orguksilverbeard7658 glad to hear. Have a good day, man.
@@FamilyfarmNNW you too mate
When are we going to start referring to the “famine” as what it really was…genocide.
I agree.
I’d pay my TV licence if this was on RTÉ
I'd consider getting a TV if this was on RTÉ.
Haha absolutely bang on
Lol...🤣👊🏽
@Adam Defibaugh Yes. It was created the moment TVs became widely commercially available to offset the cost of setting up a national broadcaster. There also used to be a radio licence until it became too difficult to enforce.
It made a certain amount of sense back in the day when RTE were the only thing you could watch on a TV, but that's clearly no longer the case.
A lot of homes over here no longer have TVs as a result, they just use computers.
@Umbrella Corporation The administration of the TV licence was awarded to "An Post" (our equivalent of USPS). Basically they go around door to door and ask to perform inspections. It's a legal grey area whether they can demand entry or not, but if you refuse them entry they'll assume you have a TV and start sending out letters threatening legal action.
They've tried to force me to pay for a nonexistant TV twice and I've refused. Both times they eventually backed down.
They also had equipment which could be used to perform "Van Eck phreaking," basically snooping on the signal produced by your TV to confirm you were using it, but I think that only works with CRT displays and it was minimally used anyhow.
Another tactic they use is demanding information from cable providers about their customers. They then correlate this to the database of licenced addresses and see which households don't match up.
It generally boils down to intimidation and the nuisance factor. People pay because it's a relatively small amount of money to avoid getting into a legal tangle with a government corporation.

A channel that produces content that discusses Celtic history without shoehorning politics, and modern social commentary into every damn video? Praise be to Lugh I have found my home!
Seriously though the hardest part about being a Celtic Pagan, is finding good content on UA-cam. The vast majority of creators who make videos on this subject can't go five minutes without spewing off topic horse shit, when all I want to do is learn about my Irish Ancestors. Please keep up the amazing work.
Hello my Celtic cousin, you study the ways of our ancestors?
You gotta protect it tho it's your land and your people.
yes, thank you for just telling me about parts of one side of mh history,
without the modern bs
The problem with looking to Ireland for Celtic history is that there are very few genetic links between the Celtic homelands in central Europe and Ireland. There are more in the UK to be honest.
Ireland is better for researching the pre Celtic culture than anything after the Celts arrived there from the UK.

I'm a new Zealand maori with Irish ancestry 💚☘

Thank you for making me spit out my tea. That was great!
My Irish ancestor left Ireland and came to South Africa with 1823 settlers. We traced our family to the first kings of Breffney. I would love to move to Ireland.
Wow, so you come from the 1820 Settlers. What part of SA are you in and how are you finding it?
Yes Get away from those africans. But those Apes are here too unfortunately
Wow, thank you for including some of my music in your work. I'm flattered as I do really enjoy your work. Inspires me to create more recordings.
Your music is great!
@@Survivethejive I was wondering where you got the music for this. It's really great.

Hold on here for a second for a minute, something ain’t right here.... just can’t point it out🤔
Mr Rowsell, you are an impressive historian. Much of the information you present would be unknown to the general public if not for your work, a prime example of why the teaching of history is still as important as ever.
Thank you for your contributions.
unfortunately, his narrative is bias and perpetuates the old colonial mentality of a past era. there is nothing much enriching about this program.

To wait for all the corrupt bs to dissipate until the government people give a right to have a fair choice I'd wait. Be safe my friend
Go, don't look back! You'll be changed forever.
I wouldn't bother, lad. They've turned the country into an absolute dump through mass migration. Don't go to Dublin City anyway, very few Irish left it in it.
You have no idea how much this video helped explain my own roots. Yours is the first video I have seen that really explains who the Bellbeakers were. I know a lot about my Swiss German roots, but only recently have I discovered my Scots Irish roots on my father's side. This helped explain migration routes and culture influences and how my roots possibly came to be, and much deeper and further back in time. Thank you for this. Excellent and informative video! 🤗

Well done, Thomas, your ancestry is very rich, and to find your roots is a very good thing to thicken your confidence, I am from Egypt, but I admire your proudance of your ancestry, you also have a celtic genetic appearance figure , it's also unique, hopefully you will pass these qualities to your children's children, as you search with such an Impulsion, honesty and thoughtfulness, I am respecting you and admire your Presist, and that of course the main qualities you should pass,..

They are extremely important ethnomusicological finds pertaining to the Ancient Celts, and Roswell probably knows this, he just hasn't got time to cover it in the video.
My Irish Ancestors immigrated to the USA in the late 19th Century. Good call lol. Still have family in Ireland I'd love to visit one day
Take a chance and go soon before Ireland and the Irish are gone
@Noah The Celt Mass immigration from third world shithole countries is what is currently happening in Ireland
solatiumz Apparently the Irish are on course to becoming an ethnic minority in Ireland by mid-century :/

@Strve Sit Yeah just ignore decades of Loyalist ethnic cleansing of the six counties you gammon.
I have been to Japan many times, if you ever have time to look into a place called Nara Japan. Japanese shinto religion remind me of Tara in Ireland with burial stones. I'm not saying they are connected but the similarities between Tara and Nara are amazing. As you said about tying objects to trees as for prayers and the phallic symbols which are also use in the Shintoism. There's a town called Tara in Japan as you travel between Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I'm not saying anything like UFO things. It's just that there similarities between people so far a part.
I've noticed those similarities too. I think it's mainly due to the fact that the Celts were also animists like the early Japanese and many Native Americans and Siberians. They worshipped nature. They held that spirits lived in the forests and in all living things and the earth itself. This great reverance for nature and the land, was a deep part of the culture. The Japanese ironically later adopted an Indo-European origin religion Buddhism, which started in India, but they fused Shintoism to it. Later Christianity was brought by the Portuguese. Now the further irony, the Portuguese prior to their Romanization were largely Ibero-Celts. So their ancestors were probably also once animists, and they also had the Indo-European pantheon prior to their Christianization.
Japan us beautiful
That is why it was called Babel-because there Ehyeh the Creator confused the language of the whole world. From there He scattered them over the face of the whole earth. Genesis 11:9
Just calm down a little
The goddess who’s name means “ white cow “ reminds of the Native American I think Lakota story, about the white buffalo woman
Reminds me of my ex wife
Travis Hills The American State, South Dakota I think
Also Very similar in the Hindu/ Vedic theology of the sacredness of the cow.. Aditi, the mother of all gods.. often portrayed as a gleaming white cow.. all these cultures were visited by the same “gods..” that helped them complete practically impossible tasks. Building these megalithic structures is no short undertaking... there’s absolutely no way they could of precisely cut the stone, let alone drag it all the way to the building site , then hoist it up in the air and place it perfectly where it needed to go lol... a lot of our history has been lost through conflicting religious/social factions destroying everything from those they had conquered.. especially when it was viewed as “heretical,” or “pagan..” so much has been lost in India and Ireland.. and a lot of it has been even further censored in fairly modern times.
Excellent stuff man. Cheers from Ireland.
Ireland along with Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Isle Of Man, And Jersey all have amazing landscapes
@My names Jeff there’s no border between Scotland England and Wales either
I’ve been inside New Grange. Amazing.
Me too when I was a kid. I'd love to see it again but I'm glad they (mostly) closed it off. Even the damage aside, it's not somewhere people should be trampling in and out of every day.
Ario I wasn’t aware of that at the time. But my strongest impression was of the inside passage
I was as a little boy too
Me too, found it boring and claustrophobic.
Glorious Gaelposting. I'm looking forward to this.
Probably the best short documentary I've seen on the topic of Old Ireland's history and legends. Amazing how clever and passionate UA-camrs can create content that can contend with/surpass the content of those who work for TV stations.
Thank you for this and keep up the amazing work!
You just gained a new subscriber 👍
Yeah , if a TV company made a program on this topic pretty much all you would have seen was a series of close ups of about half a dozen presenters each saying a couple of sentences usually about something that was pretty obvious and self evident anyway . Why they seem compelled to turn out such trashy programs all in the same style I do not know . Maybe it’s a case of “empty barrels making the most noise”.
Extraordinary documentary. Thanks from the U.S.A. of a person of Irish lineage!!! Our complex history is beyond fascinating!!!
How can the Irish government destroy such a beautiful country?
Bastards.
The Irish govt is NOT IRISH
they are under instructions to make a new society who do not relate to their past
By being subservient to the EU and money, the cunts.

I have a vide about Neolithic Iberia
Great video.
We Irish see ourselves as 'Celts'.
However there is little or no evidence of a migration of 'Celtic/Keltoi folk into the island.
There was however a transformative invasion of 'Celtic' culture into Ireland.
The last 50 years has seen a transformative invasion of modern North American culture.
I never call myself a Celt. its just like calling yourself European. Whats the old saying "not all Celts are Gaels but all Gaels are Celts"
Celts and modern day Irish are not of the same orgin.
There's another story about migration of real Irish from East '' Anatolia '' then passed to North Africa then Iberia then to the north!

It’s interesting that the more ancient DNA of Irish people and “British” populations are heavily related to the beaker people/Indo Europeans, in fact all of Northern Europe. I use to be obsessed with how do we define Irish/Anglos/ Norse people etc... I take solace with knowing they are all indigenous to north Western Europe. We can say they may have been multicultural but they not multiethnic or multi racial seeing they were all indigenous. Even culturally they all seemed rather similar or derivatives of something older.
Ethnicity is all about culture, not race/genes. So you may be multiethnic but not "multiracial", although that depends on how you define race ;)
I was reading that English may also have a large amount of prehistoric French DNA from migrations around the last Ice Age.
@@Sk0lzky Ethnicity is about genetics and blood. What you just said is a common pretext for white erasure and I won't tolerate it.
something older u mean like the "copper colored Naga" from "The Three India's" or "The Americas" which were the origin of all cultures of the world. Why do you all skip around all the obvious proofs? I even heard u mention mounds!!! are you kidding me!?!? Just look at all the coats of arms, are you really going to have me to believe all of these European countries would hold a so called "slave" to such a high esteem as to represent their houses and kingdoms with them! We know all of antiquity was of color, everything you are attempting to report here is nothing other than age old Tribal war which actually has nothing to do with the pale people. Trace the Irish "Andrews" "RUS". let's deal with facts people!

Great historical summarization and wonderful retelling of ghost stories.
Been waiting for a video on this! As one with Gaelic ancestry I'm always interested in this sort of history. Thank you!
The quality of STJ’ videos is unreal! 🙌
I seem to find things that have been discovered in bogs unreasonably interesting. The rest of the video is interesting too though.
If you're ever in Dublin you can see them (or at least one of them) in the museum of History and Archeology on Dawson's st. While you're there, pop around the corner and have a look in the Natural History Museum. They have the preserved skeleton of a great Irish Elk with a 12 ft pair of antlers, I think it was also found in a bog.
Biological matter is rarely preserved except in bogs, so yes, bog finds are exceptionally interesting, especially when you consider that nearly everything made in prehistory was organic.
Such a great channel it is! Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏
I went to Ireland as a wee one with my adopted family and LOVED it. I'm Irish/Scots/English/German with some Continental Celt, and was raised by German-Americans. I guess they thought I should see where my heritage lies, because they took me to everyplace but Scotland (to be fair, they didn't know about the Scots). Ireland is a wondrous place. And now I can learn more of its fascinating history. Thank you!

Personally I like the way he spreads out and covers a variety of IE cultures and beliefs.
Also... keep in mind, Celtic culture and even specifically Gaelic culture play a part in English culture. Culture doesn't exist in a vacuum, understanding it's context is important.
@Enoch~ Historically they all played a role, aye, but I'd say both Norse and Norman played a lesser role regarding the cultrual identity of the English; especailly true, more-so in regards to our genitic make-up. The Norse being expelled for the most part and the Normans being absorbed, adopting an identity with the common English subjects, with our language, although still Germanic, borrowing a lot of French/Latin words as a result of the Norman conquest and occupation. We English though, are primarily a Celto-Germanic peoples.
@@Kopesy The English have Celtic (Brythonic) Germanic (Saxon, Angles, Jutes) Scandinavian (Danes and Norse) and then the Normans - partly Frankish who themselves were Germanic people mixed with Gallo-Roman population and culture.
Much like Scotland has Irish, Brythonic, Anglian and then Norman influence on top of it.
Very few modern European nations are completely formed from a single group or culture.
France has Celtic, Germanic and Latin origins.
Ultimately they are all indo-European. I think race certainly exist but its get over simplified and people assume it is the be all end all for national identity. For example the English are a mix much like the Scots. But obviously ethnic groups close to eachother have more in common than they do with those on different continents.
This is EXACTLY the video I wanted. Liked and Subscribed. Excellent content.
The bell beaker culture is fascinating to learn about. It's a forgotten history that was nearly lost to time.

So Incresible to be able to visualise an age that seems so far back! Thanks so much for the video 😎
I couldn't click fast enough! I was fortunate to visit Newgrange before it became the huge attraction it is now, complete with a very full and educational center. I've been three times, so I have seen its attraction grow. Well done, Ireland. Having said that, the first time I was there, the ticket booth was a small shed by the roadside, and about 8 of us were led on a very informal, intimate tour. We were able to walk through the burial chamber. The feeling is still palpable. There was something special in seeing this site in its more natural setting. Well done, and you've gained a subscriber!
This was fascinating. I am an Englishman myself but with Celtic features, so learning about the religion and folklore of our Hibernian brothers is fascinating. Their strong belief in the fey seems even stronger than the Germanic belief in Elves and it is a topic that obsesses me.
Obstructing these spirits is never a wise move and it always brings ill luck on people.
I have known people in this day and age die of serious illness not long after disturbing such creatures.
Is there any chance of a video on the Elves, Fairies and all the other forms they take within Indo-European cultures?
maybe!
"With Celtic features".. How can you even tell?
BRO ACTUALLY THINKS HES MY BROTHER MAN GETCHYO ASS OUTA HERE
@@scarlett2299 Irish here. Not to burst your bubble here (Probably with a nuke this WILL be devestating) but atleast through what i've observed (when i think about it your cope is probably leagues ahead of my actual experience) Celts aren't actually swarthy manlets looking like dravidians or something. That might've been a migrant or you've been been misled by fiction... somehow.

You American
The Early Germans WERE Celts and vis versa as is suggested in the Victorian trend of calling all Germanic people "Celts/Kelts" and the cool fact the "Germani" tribe were technically Celtic. Of course we are all related going way back blah blah, but these "relatively recent" relations are super important, as our man says links to Northern Europe in the Proto Celtic, Celtic and post Celtic (with a capital C anyway), the Slavs later (and the Scythians - more a common heritage but interesting to see commonalities). I know were are all Celtic/Germanic/Slavic whatever the fu*k depending where we live in Europe but it is fascinating to look into our history - videos like this do a great job. The family name can tell you a lot as well, your "recent" ancestry (I'm half "Norman"/Scandi and half Celtic - Scots Irish, essentially raiders all round and my father by blood was a scoundrel who robbed post offices with shotgun. Explains a lot, raid, raid, raid..). Your surname tells you much, can explain some interesting stuff. Never seen the little folk though, to see "The Gentry", that would be excellent (and most Icelanders take them for granted). Not Archaeology but I have a Jacques Vallee outlook on all that shizzle basically. Nearly drowned in a bog in Germany, spooky as fuck - barely pulled myself up from the deep, deep dark, was gagging, covered in dead ants.. I know why our ancestors saw watery places and bogs as sacred/spooky places and crossings to the other side..
Brilliant as per usual. Thank you.
Beautiful! I love ancient civilizations and this is a fantastic documentary full of great information. Thank you! Gracias!
Really enjoying your documentary. My paternal grandmother came from Fermanagh just after WW2. Her family were taken from Scotland to work the plantation's. It's interesting that you descend from nobility.
About time kid!!
This is so good! Thank you so much!
