No Irish mythology connects to Plato’s Atlantis, which is the only legitimate Atlantis to be discussed. And since it’s known that the Irish share a Haplogroup R1b connection with Iberians before much later migrations your speculation can be summarily dismissed do to lack of evidence. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1182057/ cormac They have the flood myths too though.

You might what to consider who you surround yourself with too, its known people become like the crowd they hang out with lol. The current crowd think if they picture themselves it makes them right. Imagine what kind of world we would live in if that was true haha. I agree on popularity not being a sign of the truth, most of the time. I have nothing to consider, as it's usually just me and my shadow. I imagine a lot of things, but I cannot imagine a world of shadows being without contentions. It's usually who casts the longest shadow that wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the past 20 odd years I've probably read every book related to Celtic mythology. I've never seen anything with resemblance to Noah's ark. The only thing that seems to have happened is Celtic and Christian mythology got muddled together and somehow Ham got interjected into Irish mythology. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Have you read Lebor Gabála Érenn too? You understand that Geoffrey Keating took all sources in part one of Foras from ancient Celtic mythology which in the 1600 was so muddled with Christianity that was impossible to separate the two? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keating wrote that in 1604, just some 400+ years ago. It's the result of Christianized elements tacked on to Irish beliefs. DUH!

Why wouldnt I have read it? Angle-Saxon history isn't the whole story of the British Isles and I am British. I know a lot about Welsh, Cornish, and Irish myths. What about this one from Celtic mythology Heaven and Earth were great giants, and Heaven lay upon the Earth so that their children were crowded between them, and the children and their mother were unhappy in the darkness. The boldest of the sons led his brothers in cutting up Heaven into many pieces. From his skull they made the firmament. His spilling blood caused a great flood which killed all humans except a single pair, who were saved in a ship made by a beneficent Titan. The waters settled in hollows to become the oceans. The son who led in the mutilation of Heaven was a Titan and became their king, but the Titans and gods hated each other, and the king titan was driven from his throne by his son, who was born a god. That Titan at last went to the land of the departed. The Titan who built the ship, whom some consider to be the same as the king Titan, went there also There is a great flood in there too. And then there is a Welsh myth The lake of Llion burst, flooding all lands. Dwyfan and Dwyfach escaped in a mastless ship with pairs of every sort of living creature. They landed in Prydain (Britain) and repopulated the world. There are loads of references to a flood from across history (not just after the Bible came along).

Hi Rabid My dad told me a story about when he worked as a blacksmith at a pow camp and that there was a shortage of meat. One evening he and some of the boys were playing poker and drinking some brew that they had made with a still that some of the pows had built and he had to go to the outhouse. Well as he was walking down the path he saw a deer and chased after it thinking that they could have some fresh meat but had no weapons so chased it on foot. he said he had to run a half a mile with his finger poked up the deer's ass before he could push it in far enough to hook his finger and turn the deer inside out.

Nothing is mentioned of a flood, only that his blood was used to create the oceans and lakes. I suspect the floor part was added via Christian influences, but obviously that's impossible to prove. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
