my point was that, in all reality how could the irish have been celts if the romans had no knowlege of them. hybernia is a seperate isle from brittania. and the danes settled in england exclusivly. call me pregidous, but i believe the modern irish are simply trying to take credit and borrow cultural elements from the old gaelic and woaden-welsh.
I don't think people who've been speaking Gaelic for generations are trying to borrow anything. Personnaly I'm Britton (from small Brittanny) and we're working on celtic rebirth, but like the irish on established cultural background (use of Biniou Koz, as the Irish use Uilhean pipes etc...) Nothing artificial there.
(I'm having problems with the term gaelic here, it's was originally used to define gaulish peole by Romans, then extended to all celtic people, I prefer to use the term celtic) Irish people are of Celtic origin aren't they? Even before the Scots invaded the Islands...
@flameboy44 The Romans called the Gaulish people Gallic Gael is from a Welsh word Goidel which is what the welsh reffered to the Irish as in the early dark ages, the word just evolved into the modern word Gael, any resemblance to Gallic is coincedence.
...wel maybe ok, but in common language people speak about gaelic welsh...could you tell me where you heard/read that, i'd like to check it out. thanks
@perstyr Actually it was, the Romans and Greek first used the Term 'Kelt' and 'Teuton' to describe people living on either side of the rhine river in gaul and germania.
@phaedruslive its true that the Danes settled exclusively in England but the Norwegians settled in Ireland, and I think that Ireland actually was influencing Scotland, Ireland invented the whiskey that Scotland is famous for, although admittedly this happened a good deal of time later so it might be irrelevant
@ScaveoTheSanguine if you look the raiding that was done in those days you'll see that the scots are actually original irish (old irish) but reffered to themselves as scots. strangely enough though, they inhabited ireland. i know its sounds crazy but at some point there was a migration of sorts. the gaels inhabited the highlands and left hybernia behind entirely, the land there was later occupied by saxony and pictish peoples.
theirs a huge disconnect between peoples understanding of ancient brittain and what actually happened. the term celt was coined by romans and was initially named after coastal clans in western europe. the image that comes to mind when a guy says celt is a large half-naked warrior. thats because romans landed on brittania, not hybernia as ireland was then known. the term was intended for gael's or scots if you prefer. this seems to be a fact many people ignore because their irish instead of scott
@dwid1984 that book was terrible, I love how the author contradicted half the things he said. One line 'the British and Irish are not celts, they are Basques, and the Basques are not Celts, however the English are more Celtic than Anglo-Saxon', he said some stupid line like that. Its as if he actually believed there is DNA that says celtic. R1A or R1B I forget is celtic, and one is slavic. However, he failed to mention any of that, and the fact its all throughout western Europe.
celtic god, took nuada's place after he lost his arm, since the king of the gods had to be perfect. had a pot that never ran out of food, he had two pigs, one that was always cooking and one that fought i think? anyway he kicked ass with his club.
oh right,are you Irish though, because thats an Irish username even though I have no clue as to what it means, I'm fairly bad at Irish but make up for it on the tinwhistle
your right about the user name, its red branch, as in the red branch knights of ulster. i'm not actually irish though. i was just interested in their culture for a while, especially the stories of cuchullain
Nuada eventualy won the throne back tho when he was forged a silver arm by this brother. Then he eventually gave the throne to Lug the one everyone remembers
