Tartessian: Celtic in the South-west at the Dawn of History by John Koch has taken a deep dive away from classic Hallstatt and La Tene, useful adjunct to your discussion…
Deep time. The accumulative layers from late Neolithic to metal ages. Sources of cultural packages. Syncretism. Commonalities. Differences. Dating. I could drone on…
Intriguing as Ireland was never conquered by the Romans, while western Britain was. Huge rupture point, compounded by the partial invasion of Wales by Irish colonists in the immediate post-Roman period. Think Dyfed, Ceredigion, Llyn, Ynys Mon and possibly as far east as the crannog on Llangorse lake near Brecon (see Ogham stone distribution).
This is so interesting! I plan on re-watching it--it's a lot to take in. Very well done. Thanks, Eoin and Gwilym. Go raibh míle maith agat and diolch yn fawr iawn.
I started to learn Irish because of mythology ✨ Also, I definitely had an experience like the world stops when I highly concentrated on something. The divine time concept is still actuall, that's amazing! Go raibh maith agat! ❤️ (hope I did write it right)
It's far more plausible that our language developed from the language of the Beaker culture, long before Central European 'Celts'. The majority of our modern genome had it's foundation in that time (4,500b.c). There's little to no evidence that there were ever Central European 'Celts' in Ireland. The southern route from the Caspian/Pontic Steppe via Iberia makes much more sense with dna, archaeological, linguistic and tomb evidence. All Indo-European speakers are descendants of the Yamnaya culture. The differences in language, culture and ethnicity depend purely on the route taken and the time spent settled enroute.
The problem with that is that the Anglo-Saxon invasion of the British Isles is an example of a small group imposing its language on the majority over time. Other than the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle I don't think there's much evidence for a military takeover of Britain but there was certainly a cultural takeover however that was achieved. Personally I lean towards the idea that the Celtic languages evolved over a wide region and trade combined with conservative speech ensured a similar language existed over a large area. More telling I think would be the cultural forces that allowed P-Celtic to dominate Britain while Q-Celtic became associated with Ireland and Iberia.

I’ve gone Pagan again. Ther is not much to support religion to me
Excellent interview and episode. I will need to listen a couple of times. Thank you so very much!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Myth is oral history. Oral history are stories. Basically what my father taught me. He told me stories

This should be interesting to listen to...

Thanks, and I hope you get good insight from our discussion on the implications of Celtic myth for today's culture. Eoin

Qem tem ouvidos para ouvir, deixe-o ouvir!
What language is this? I recognize some words, but not others
Portuguese. It means: "Those who have ears to listen, let them listen!".
@@BitesizeIrish thank you!
