The Incomparable History Of Ireland
Ireland has been inhabited mythically for 33,000 years with the first humans arriving about 10,000 years ago. Known as the Neolithic and Megalithic period, humans used small stone tools, and polished and crafted with points and attached to antlers, bone or wood to serve as spears and arrows. They often lived nomadically in camps by rivers and bodies of water.
The Ancient Greeks called Ireland The Ancient Island! Ireland has 70% of Europe's rock art. The megalithic structures have many stories and New Grange is older than the pyramids and Stonehenge. These residents of Ireland were observers of the night sky who understood cosmic patterns. Irish Mythology has magical journeys to the Otherworld, stories of Irish heroes like Cú Chulainn, tales of monsters and time-travel that inspired Tolkien Lords of the Rings as well as the books of C.S. Lewis. A whole world of amazing stories are waiting for you!
