The Colonies of Atlantis
The oldest Irish legends recount the arrival of three Spanish fishermen driven to Ireland before the Deluge.
The Irish annals suggest that the various invading races—Partholan's people, the Nemedians, Fir-Bolgs, Tuatha-de-Dananns, and Milesians—were all descended from Magog, son of Japheth, son of Noah.
High Antiquity: Irish civilization predates many other European civilizations, with the Formorians arriving before the Deluge.
Irish legends and traditions of a land in the Far West, preserved among the descendants of the Tuatha-de-Dananns, suggest an ancient memory of Atlantis.
To Gaelic Tír fo Thuinn was an advanced civilization
The Tuatha Dé Danann then became known as the fairy folk, or the fairy fort people, in Irish folklore.
Also known as "the Land Under the Waves," is a concept from Gaelic mythology, often associated with the mystical and mythical lands in Irish folklore.
Mythological Origins: Tír fo Thuinn is one of the many otherworldly realms in Irish mythology, which includes places like Tír na nÓg (the Land of the Ever-Young) and Mag Mell (the Plain of Delight).
Tuatha Dé Danann: The Tuatha Dé Danann, a supernatural race in Irish mythology, are often linked to Tír fo Thuinn.
After being defeated by the Celts, the Tuatha Dé Danann were said to have retreated to live underground in fairy mounds, becoming the fairy folk of Irish lore.
A populated universe
I asked, "Did you ask him?" She said, "Yes, I did put my hand up and ask him to explain why he sees it that way, and he gave an answer, but I’m not sure he really believed what he was saying."[17:25] I thought, "Oh good, if you can pick that up—that the teacher doesn’t really believe this, he’s not convinced by it, doesn’t like the answer he has to repeat—then you have got the wherewithal to navigate these kinds of questions that adults wrestle with."[17:52] In that way, I think we prepare our kids to do their own thinking, to be willing to listen to all kinds of points of view, and then do the math for themselves.[18:00] I’ve heard from a number of people who will say, "I grew up in a traditional Catholic family, and my mom was very devout, and she’d take us to Mass every week, and she would always make sure that we knew our catechism, but then she’d also tell us the stories of our family, the stories of our people, the stories of our land.[18:13] They are stories of a non-human presence, stories of abductions, stories of hybridizations, stories of higher human cognitive abilities that we might call psychic abilities or clear sight or clear audience, stories about an invisible team of helpers.[18:31] It delights me to hear those stories, and it’s often from Scottish and Irish families who’ve been Catholic families, where they have maintained the Celtic heritage alongside the Catholic heritage.[18:48] In "Echoes of Eden," I talk about families who’ve maintained their Catholic heritage alongside their indigenous heritage, so there’s this whole mix of story for the children to think about and ask questions about from the get-go.
