    St. Brendan is my patron saint as I prepare for baptism in the Catholic Church. I chose him primarily because I am about to join the U.S. Navy. I love how legendary his life is.

    Tim Servin's reenactment voyage in 1977 certainly gave more credence to St Brendan's voyage. Also Servin's boat was completely built based Irish building skills for leather covered Currachs with a wooden ribbed shell.

    Ogham writing was found on a large rock in Virginia some years ago. Ogham is an old Irish alphabet that was used at the time of St Brendan.

A fine grained red sandstone formed in marine waters 380 million years ago, was used to make a Standing Stone with Ogham Script, Deelish, Aghabullogue, Co.Cork now in British Museum, London they have been invited to return it to Ireland.

    What makes it a tad more credible is that Leif Erikson landed in Newfoundland (Canadian Coast) who’s accent is the spitting image of Irish to this day.

      In 1000 ad .. The Vikings referred to the lands south of their settlement in Vinland(confirmed Newfoundland) as “Irland it Mikla,” or “Greater Ireland.”Now ask yourselves what's south of Newfoundland..lol..."How did Saint Patrick escape from Ireland?
      During his time in captivity Patrick became fluent in the Irish language and culture. After six years, Patrick escaped captivity after hearing a voice urging him to travel to a distant port where a ship would be waiting to take him back to Britain.
      This means St Patrick had already made this voyage before St Brenden. It also means that all history relating to "Ireland " is actually the history of "south of Newfoundland". Modern day Ireland wasn't called "Ireland" untill much much later. Eren...hibernia ...Scotia ...etc . I live south of Nfld. I'm Irish. 🍀🎳💚😉👍

      @themaskedman221 2 роки тому

      That's because of later Irish settlement in the 1700s and 1800s. It is well known that Newfoundland was/is home to Irish communities. Look up "Newfoundland Irish" on UA-cam.

    • @HeedfulHistory

      @@themaskedman221 I’m talking about in the Viking saga’s about Leif wrote in the 11th century. From my logic it’s either a massive coincidence or the Vikings saw Ireland as the furthest west, guessed and lied. Unless it was true of course; an Irish settlement could have been established even before the Vikings. The fact both the Irish myth and Viking saga match that this happened is a major coincidence at the least anyway.

    I hate when people say that Columbus was cruel. The son of one chief became his adopted godson and travelled with him. Columbus sent him back to Europe for schooling he said that Columbus was the greatest friend that he had ever known.

      To be fair, he was an evil b*stard to the natives and the settlers he brought over. To the point that he was stripped of his rank and titles and governorship of the colonies given to others. Yes, they eventually gave him another ship, but that's because being a ships captain and exploration were the only things he was good at.

    The Vikings learned of Iceland and Greenland from the Irish and there were druids living of both of these countries before long boats landed, it's hard to desinate this truth, because vikings took Irish women with them. There is also many native American stories of red haired settlers. Irish druids new latin when Rome collapsed another truth the Irish don't get credit for

  • @jamesirmert
    @jamesirmert 6 місяців тому

    Brendan if he did make it to the New World certainly wasn't the last Irishman. There was Prince Madoc as well, who according to Legend came to the America's. There are also other tales, not specifically Irish but in the vein of Britonnic Celt which sound like Arthur, whomever he was may have been taken to the New World as his final resting place. That Hypothesis has basically no backing evidence but it certainly is not impossible. I would argue that the Vikings were preceeded to the New World by the Irish and that they were Preceeded there by the Phoenecians. But there is indisputable evidence that all of them were preceeded by the Egyptians or someone who traded with the Egyptians, given that traces of both cocain and Tobacco have been found in Egyptians Mummies. Indisputable but for the possibility that those Mummies were contaminated by Colonial Europeans. That is quite possible as well. However, I tend to think that is not the case, considering in Peru we find intentionally Mummified people with natural red hair and elongated skulls. Very similar to Akhenaten and his father specifically, whose mummy we still have. And theb we also have stories of Scotia, who is supposed to have been the daughter of Akhenaten and Sister of Tutankhamun. And the connection between red hair, Ireland and Scotland. So there is that. Whatever the truth of it all is, what is definitely certain is that Modern Archology and Academia has intentionally suppressed certain information in order to help alter society and end White Supremacist expressions. Since a lot of these ideas and facts can sadly lend themselves to those now scientifically defunct theories. And they have successfully managed to do so for the most part. Which is why it's now time for Archeology and Academia to re-embrace this information. In the spirit of their field. In the Pursuit of Discovery of New and Lost Knowledge alike.
