Cú Chulainn's Stone

[MrGavin2011]

rumor is Michael Fassbender wants to make a movie about Cú Chulainn! would make a great movie imo.

@MrGavin2011 that would be so awesome. I always wanted to see Cu Chulainn turned into a big epic movie... though I do worry Hollywood would make it seem shit (like CLash of the Titans) ... but if Fassbender was invovled it just might have a chance to be a movie the Legend deserves

A bit creepy, being right there where some legendary hero died. I'm pretty sure just about every story in the Bible, particularly the Old Testament, is legend. Even after it was put down on vellum it was subject to re-interpretation and translation, causing further distortions of the original reality.

@rallypacific I didn't find it creepy at all oddly, I found it very exciting, haha, and maybe even a bit humbled ... probably similar to how a christian visting Isreal might feel when visiting Jesus' supposed tomb, haha

The stone itself has a great presence when your actual there in front of it and knowing the legend behind it you can't help but respect it I guess. Especially as I said with CúChulainn being my fav legend... surprised the area isn't a national hertiage site

At last ! Someone who thinks the same way as I do hahaha

That was a wonderful explanation on legends and mythology Franklin, I could not have put it better myself. Everything you said I would agree with! :-)

For that reason, another thumbs up and faved haha ;-)

Moving on to the Causeway now :D

@Jagamp haha cheers Jeff, nice to know we are both like minded in these things haha.

(I'm actually surprised I've still not yet drawn the wrath of fundamentalist christians for what I said, haha)

Oh, you're studying again. Good luck with your course, Franklin. I'm a big fan of Greek and Celtic mythology. It would be nice to think there is a little bit of reality behind great legends. Though my fellow Catholics would condemn me for what I'm going to say, but believe some parts of the Bible were heavily exaggerated. I guess that's what makes legends different from fairy tales, at some level they really happened in history. So that's the story of Cú Chulainn's Stone. Thumbs Up! :-)

@chinaeyes22 What a way to start 2012 with an outdoor video, Franklin. I would love to go on road trips to new lands some time. I'll be waiting for the "Giant's Cauldron in your next video. I've looked it up in Google already and I'm excited to see you walking and giving us a tour there. :-)

@chinaeyes22 Giants "Causeway" Jason :)

[MokongX3M]

@chinaeyes22 ah don't worry I', sure any hate from religious types will get directed at me as I said it in the video, haha

[Thorvius]

I would honestly give everything I have to go visit Ireland! Glad you're back, and doing well Mokong!

[MokongX3M]

@Thorvius You don't have to give "everything" you have.... just the cost of the plane ticket and hotel

;)
