I am loving all these new videos ..and have been a subscriber for years .. Thank you for your time and dedication !! The one cringe point for me was the narrator's pronunciation of Irish towns cities and counties was so off lol
Just goes to show the Irish were way ahead of the times. The mono English knew it and definitely had no plans to stop putting the Irish on their knees and eventually death.
There are quite a few biblical storys that are rewritten ripoffs of original irish history . The three kings in the jesus story were infact three irish master druids . Another is The St francis of assasi story is a roman ripoff of the irish st kevin . ( Caoimhín Caoimhín ; Old Irish Cóemgen, Caemgen ; latinized Coemgenus . Another fact is All the worlds churches are deliberately built with arch shapes to copy the inside of rathcroghan cave .
In the five histories of Peru they speak about Vera coach'a ... I defi think he was from Ireland . Do you know any of the history relating to the Pharaohs princes coming to Ireland to learn sailing. ,! ? There's a bit more to all this , it's not all good history , some of the bad things aren't recorded for a reason . . With power comes responsibility .. Saint Patrick was referred to at times as head chopper for instance .. But prefer the stories linking queen t with the Egyptians .. and the Greeks , they called Ireland purgatory .
I wouldn't say it began but it certainly flourished here in it's own Gaelic way for a long time independent of Rome. If you're interested in this topic I could point you to Insular Sanctorum et Doctorum, Irelands Ancient Schools and Scholars, by Rev. John Healy (1912).pdf I believe it's available in the Brehon Academy resource library over at www.brehonacademy.org
No your confusing it. Rome, the city which was the capital of the Western Roman Empire was what "kept" europe together under a single emperor, after Rome (the city) fell, majority of western europe was plunged into chaos. Ireland remained unaffected as it was never roman territory, thus why it flourished and acted as a beacon of light in western europe during the dark ages. The eastern roman empire had virtually no affect on western europe whatsoever during the middle ages. Constantinople didnt reach that far in both influence nor territory. So to answer your question, Rome fell in 476, The eastern roman empire fell in 1453.
He wasn’t a “saint” that’s fer sure! He was sent to Ireland to destroy all the snakes that lived there. Those snakes were the Druids. The druids didn’t like to be ruled
Nothing worse then an American talking about my country. Ireland was never a country until recent times as countries did not exist. Secondly, Christianity was by far the largest religion in the world after the fall of the Roman Empire so this whole claim of Irish monks saving Europe is utter rubbish. Celtic Christianity did not originate in Ireland and it's long gone.
''Talking about my country'' Why do you live in the United Kingdom and only make videos on British history then? Also nice Germanic surname ye have there.
I do not believe that you understand what you speak of, because you already have presented errors in the few sentences that you have posted. First, you refer to "Celtic Christianity." There never was any such thing as Celtic Christianity. This is a modern misunderstanding that is continuously perpetuated by those who do not understand what they are speaking of. Celtic Christianity never existed. The faith of the Irish Gael's is very much still alive and well today. They were Roman Catholic from the start of their conversion as a people, remained Roman Catholic throughout the centuries, and many still are today. The fact that you do not understand this, but think that their religion is long gone, suggests that you are highly misinformed. The Irish Celts did have their own cultures and traditions, and they did cling to the old dating of Easter for a time, but none of this constituted a different religion any more than the many different "rites" of the Roman Church (with their own customs and practices) that exist today constitute a different religion. What is gone is only the change in the culture and traditions, but that has happened all over the world in every culture and tradition. It does not mean that the religion has disappeared. Next, much of Europe was NOT Roman Catholic in the early period of the Church. Many had converted to Arian Christianity, and this included many Germanic tribal leaders (the German tribes were instrumental in reshaping Christian Europe.) The conversion of Clovis I was an early turning point towards Roman Catholic Christianity when it came to the ruling class and how that would effect the cultural landscape. Your idea that Roman Catholicism was just automatically "large and in charge" as soon as Rome fell is completely inaccurate. It had to fight many heresies. Finally, your offense of an "American" speaking about "your" country shows your lack of fellowship with your fellow Irish in the Irish diaspora, if Ireland is the country that you are referring to. You seem to not understand your own history, that many Irish were driven from Ireland, but that does not mean they are not the ancestors of Ireland. The Jews recognize their own, no matter how many centuries their ancestors have been away from their ancestral lands. Why should it not be the same with the Irish? Quite frankly, your entire comment is full of error and confusion. I hope that you will work on gaining a better education, and soon. Maybe you could find an Irish American to help you? 😀
