Anybody else see the irony in a company called Cromwell doing an Irish doc?
Yelp.

That was my first thought 🤔
We bloody Yanks can conquer Limeyland for Ireland with the objective of requiring all Limey pubs to serve their beer cold instead of warm and to require most Limey women to shave their legs. We can start by finishing the job John Paul Jones started in 1778 at the Limey Port of Whitehaven. Any Aussies, Kiwis, and Canucks won't be able to stop us because we will clog their cannons with sticky stinky Scottish haggis. -Dave the Bloody Yank 😜
@@jessamyers8761 Ditto for me-power monger and murderer Oliver Cromwell obliterating Catholicism and the Irish for his mentally ill boss, Henry Vlll.
While I am just about to enjoy this surely interesting episode, as an Irish person, I must coreect the opening words that suggest when St Patrick arrived we were a people several centuries old...it is well accepted that the pre celts were here for many thousands of years...the Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth burial chambers are dated 5,200 years ago, predating Stonehenge, but built by the same peoples!.
However we shall hack on and welcome this surely otherwise well researched and well presented work.
Happy St. Patrick's to ye all..;)
The sequence around 40:00 is lovely to listen to. This man has a wonderful voice and is a good storyteller.
In the early 60's as a boy my grandmother would tell me stories from Irish mythology.
Cú Chulainn was his name, not Chulainn. Cú Chulainn means "hound of Chulainn". If you don't add "Cú" you're literally just calling him Colin, or Chulainn.
@@sottunar7915Thanks to listening to The Iton Druid Chronicles, I can pronounce the god of smithing's name. 😁
There is a research done by an American priest Herbert Armstrong, in his research he related the Irish origins or at least a significant portion of them to the tribe of Dan, one of tribes of the Children of Israel, who were in the Levant.
During the Assyrian invasion to kingdom of Israel in ( 721BC ) and fleeing being captives , they embarked on a voyage in the seas that already been known by the Phoenicians, and finally settled in Irland. Could this be true?
@user-pf1zd1xh1f yes!!! It's part of Saor Gobbans history. GOBBAN name variations include Dan,Smith,Cohen and even Govinda from India. Cohen you may know are the connection to the rabbis. The Essene and Zarathustraians have a huge part in settlements. Look for places called Messina around the old and new world. Pliny knew more than he could safely publish at the time. Akkkk...we should meet over coffee someday. 😊😊😊 ohhhh Joseph of Aramathia is a player in this history too folks.😊

This was a good synopsis which could've been expanded into a series. The path from the ancient Celts of Europe to the Christian Celts of Ireland up to the modern day is an enormously long story and takes hours to cover.
Yes, hours. Years worth of hours. ⏳
How do I learn that history?
You could piece it together from online resources like Wikipedia but I would recommend hitting up your nearest bookstore to see if they have any scholarly books about the Celts in their history section.
These books are easy to obtain in European bookstores but if you're based in North America, perhaps do a background check on authors before spending money. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Irish-Americans that piece together the history inaccurately in order to put forward some modern day agenda based on the culture war between Left and Right.@@leighhuggins5030
@@leighhuggins5030there are a lot of channels. I like Fortress of Lugh.
Imo And a few years of research...if the story of Saor Gobban (variations of the spelling show up even in Germany and France), the story/history could be condensed much,much faster.
My cousin did research and found out we are related to an Irish King and the Queen of Scots. So proud!
Are you seriously expecting a self-respecting Irish man to watch a documentary about our Ancient History made by Cromwell Productions ?
Shouldn't watch for anything of value, that's for sure. They sure have obvious propaganda throughout. I'm sure a lot more included that is more subtle as well.
@@qkranarchist3015 I only got as far as Cromwell Productions lol
Thank you for making me curious. I’ve asked ChatGPT and just learned so much about the colonization and settlement of Ireland. As a young American I had no idea.

My granddaughter & my grandparents we're all from Ireland. I love all the stories of Ireland ❤
The ferocity of the Celts was both their strength and their weakness. That's still true, in my experience lol.
My the truth be unveiled and the true wisdom be remembered by those who are willing to see with open eyes and ears able to hear. May Erin, our mother Land and her Rivers remain abundant and thriving. ❤
A friend from Wales, when I said that I wanted to kiss her feet, said that the men there are rude, they don't kiss their feet and they don't even let women touch their bottoms. I was appalled by this lack of affection, sensitivity, attention and love, which women deserve and need... 🌟😺😁🐶🌹♥️🌞🌛🇧🇷🙋🌟
I watch this every night to fall asleep i love it
More interested in truly ancient celt history, and not how Christianity was brought to them by Patrick. Oh well, moving on.
You’ll get nothing honest about celts when talking about Ireland

I thought this was about Celtic mythology. 10 minutes in and all they've talked about is Patrick.
Lol true

This is British propaganda
Where can we watch actual celtic mythology documentaries? Anyone know any non propaganda?
First thought came thumping into my head! Cromwell!!!! God almighty!!
*This video blew me away!😍🙌*
If I'm remembering correctly, in the book How the Irish Saved Civilization, the author states that Patrick was a Coptic Christian, influenced by the commerce between Ireland and Egypt. It was not until the Roman Catholic bishops of England got ahold of him and essentially held him captive, that he finally swore allegiance to the Pope or at least to Roman Catholicism.
Sounds about right.
Sounds like something the Roman Catholic mafia would do.
Oh that explains a very great deal... many thanks.
Can you elaborate? Nuns tried to make me become a nun years ago because my aunt was one. Something seemed off, After 2020, I am constantly bothered because I did not play covid and many fights for it. I am Irish then I found a pdf on my aunt, she was a nun and passed few years before I was born and had gotten into metaphysics. No one will talk to me.
@@deborahnaglebe careful of the occult. Truth is the goal

Calls it a document about Ancient Ireland's Celtic Mythology. Starts with the christian interloper. Ptooh!
Still a lot of mystery I left for my two children lol thank you Ben
Yes the Celts used to live in the Balkan territories in the past. We know this, because some of the names of our cities mountains or rivers are of their Celtic origins/ Gaelic language.
Not the celts who have anything to do with Ireland
@@MiloManning05 During Last Ice Age, most if not entire Europe was covered w/ glaciers. That was from 12000-10000.
Celts /Irish are related to us anyway, as is most Europe by genetics.
Institutes are misusing our info.

@@ksenijadavid2082 Irish aren’t genetically Celtic , they just stole Celtic culture

I am curious when this was made considering what we now know of Patrick.
I found an ancient treasure trove of more 'irish/celtic' history than you can imagine!!! The University of Cologne.
Barry Cunliffe has lots to say on Celtic origins. New theories, including new editions of some earlier works
Points dellered for the Druid Tree Alphabet. I love Robert Graves but some of his theories are highly, umm, personal
Barry Cunliffe is a great scientist (or at least he used to be, until he started to exagerate by falling into narrow ethnic, voir - nationalistic streams, abandoning his common scence and scientific knowledges for the sake of the lately world wide popular, so called - "autochtonistic theories of origines" which are flourishing just about everywhere - both East & West, and in which every cultural circle, etnicity or nation tries to prove that they are the oldest, the best and, above all - entirely autochtone, N°1 population since the beginning of the World, which is an ego-centric Fantasy and comletally immature.
Nobody was exclusive or litterarly first and entirely and purely the forfatherly unique, neither ethnically, nor culturaly or racially - completaly clean, because the tribes, ethnoses and peoples - have mixed with each other, intermerried, constantly circulated and blanded with each other throughout the human and Pan-European history....our peoples are the result of that, so are the various tribes, Celtic or pre-Celtic (proto - European, or - the middle Easte farmers who migrated to Europe far before our fellow Celts who after 5-4 BC, became the N• 1 factor on the Isles. The Celts with their various tribes......then - the Romans, then at the and of Antiquity and the begining of the early Middle Ages - the Angles, Saxons & Yutes....then...the Vikings, after them, - the Normans.....ect....they all have contributed to what we call today the British nation ...or the ethnicities, or people of the British Isles... - The British...which include the Scotsmen, the Irish, then thd Welsh, Cornish and after all - thd English , who thems4lves are the blend of AngliSaxons, Normans, Vikings, and...mainly - the Brittons, as wwll as the Picts who lwft thd Nor5h, when the Iriah Gaelic , Scuti or Scoti - moved to Scoyland.. ect. However, ev3n amo g thd 3nglush, lwt alone the Irish, Welsh & Scotish - the Celtic component (both genetically and culturaly, as well ad spiritualy) is far more dominant among the British folks, then any other, that is for sure. So, yes, Britain is predominantly Celtic.
But, Celts were not on the Isles since the very begining, no matter what Prof. Cunliff is trying to proove.

How is Brexit going?
Weird that for a video about Irish mythology you use a Scottish painting (Riders of the Sidhe by John Duncan) as the cover. Sloppy
Where did the Scots originate?
(Hint: It rhymes with "Tireland")
@@Murdo2112 The 1800s called and asked for their history back. I suggest you read up on modern archaeological writing (Dr Ewan Campbell, Prof Leslie Alcock) which debunks that notion
They share a common original culture with the Irish.
@@johngamba4823 I believe Campbell published his papers on this topic in 1999 and 2001.
This hardly makes the history he was attempting to revise 19th century, by any stretch of the imagination.
In any event, his ideas have not achieved the sort of levels of consensus within academia that would justify the overturning of more traditional interpretations of early medieval sources.
Besides, some of his arguments have been refuted by later archaeological evidence, reminding us that "absence of evidence does not equal evidence of absence".
@@Murdo2112 I look forward to receiving sources that support your views

Reliance upon inference of some tenuous connection with the Continental Halstatt (and La Tene) cultures is a cumbersome, and cumbrous, thesis. It is now mostly superseded by current understandings of the prehistoric Atlantic Cultures and their vigorous trading networks connecting Tartessia with Jutland and beyond. These understandings are supported by genomic evidence linking today's Insular and Continental Western Europeans to the ancient Iberians. These people didn't just pre-date the "Celts", they pre-dated the Indo-Europeans.
Nice, so is Irish and Celtic is the same ancestor? From the shape of Goddess a race described can determine how old their civilation.
Driving the snakes out is a central tenet.
Why do they say here that it was how he ‘drove all the evil’ from Ireland?
Is that what you guys heard?
Perhaps some of us are unaware that snakes is a euphemism for Black people. Shalom
One theory is that the pagans worshipped serpent type gods, these were the snakes Patrick drove out.
There were never snakes in Ireland. He's referring to Druids.
it has fuck all to do with black people @@davidbenyahuda5190

At 04:28 they said Ireland as well

Are you sure you're watching the same video as the rest of us?
Liberally sprinkle ads throughout. Nice.
The near constant footsteps are a little extra, admittedly
(41:39) "Efa" is very similar to how we say 'Eve' in Afrikaans.
Darack is also very similar to how we say dragon. 🙂
However, Eefa, which is spelled in irish as Aoife, and in OI as Aífe, is something different.
1999.... this documentary is only a quarter of a century old. Brand new, right ?
Hehe, the docu about Ireland was made by a production name CROMWELL
Nice to see there's life after the bill,the lady portraying Boudicca was Debbie Keane in the police drama

Could this be true?
Also it is the Phoenicians who named the land of corn wall ( Britannica), which means in Arabic or Aramaic or Hebrew, the land of tin. As vowels in these languages in some cases are not written but had to be supplied through speech, so Br, means land, (i) or (e) means of. tanaca means tin.

What's the guy in the thumbnail's @
The British Isles didn't take in Ireland until after British Colonisation of Ireland, and was sneeked into literature in the 15th Century by a Welsh Writer.

Next time Patrick, stay out of Ireland
So. Who did what to whom and how many times... Crazy Kelts.....
A few years ago I was reading some Irish mythology, but in my head, I kept seeing the story in Anime. Has anyone paired these 2 yet? OK maybe I was falling asleep, but they seemed to go together.

Based on the title of this video, I thought I was going to get to enjoy the myths and legends of the Irish culture. Not a lesson on history. I m halfway through this video...when do the myths and legends start?!
I was here for actual Celtic lore. But turns out this is propaganda for christianity and a man who got named the patron saint of a country whose culture he violently acted to destroy.
Sadly that's typically how it goes, across cultures .. tis gross.
I want to know why Celtic culture isn’t seen as appropriated by the Romans.

I'm only seven minutes in and I thought I would be learning about the mythology and ancient mythology of the celts, not some story about a man destroying that mythology
This is Celtic history not mythology
So with deep druid belief..,
Only way to get them..
To disbelief - was torture?
I can't subscribe, why?
10:50 “scholars believe the celts originated somewhere in the region of the Indian Subcontinent” huh? This is nonsense
None of these experts in Celtic mythology has a Celtic accent, they are either English or American sounding. Shouldn't an Irishman who can pronounce Cuchulainn properly have told that tale?
Who cares. What is an Irishman anyway
@@theadamfriedlandshow4668 A lot of people care actually.
@@theclumsyprepper The only thing that matters is the content. Caring that the production company is called Cromwell or caring that the person speaking is English are things that children care about.
@@theadamfriedlandshow4668 the name of Cromwell has very bad connotation for the Irish so the use of this particular company is in a very bad taste, to say the least.
When it comes to the English narrator - it wouldn't be that much of an issue if he could at least pronounce Irish names properly. Since he can't then he wasn't the man for the job.
It's not childish to care about one's culture and history. It's very patronising though to say that anyone who cares is childish, just because you don't have an issue with it.
@@theclumsyprepper caring about these things is on par with cancel culture.
I’ll agree that the pronunciation was bad and it annoyed me but it’s a minor detail. However, I can’t complain that he’s English as they have as much of connection to the celts as we do.
And about the company, a quick google shows me they’ve done multiple historical documentaries and we should be glad that they’re doing these rather than complaining about the name.
So much wrong and so much more to Irish history than this and rich stories that go way back before the Welsh Patrick

Cromwell productions? No doubt because you massacred Celtic history which was at one time all over Europe and had nothing to do with so called Ireland. More amateur or direct misleading information. I choose the latter.
Celts is a culture, not particularly a single people.

Celtic is a linguistic term that describes a group of related languages, like romantic or Germanic. It does not describe a culture. People who speak these languages may have very different cultures. Romanian and French both Romantic languages, but the native speakers are not of the same culture. Tartesian, Gaulish, Irish and Cornish are or were all Celtic languages, but the speakers were/are very different culturally. Lol of course this all depends on your definition of “culture!”
so the Hillbillies of Ulster has. much to do with Iona, Patrick and Celtic Christianity?

Kind of frustrating opening up a mini doc on Celtic mythology and having to hear about Christianity for the majority of the first part
Queen Boudica was Welsh!
She was a Celtic Briton. The Welsh didn't exist until after her time.
I was under the impression she was from Kent or thereabouts.
Sometimes I just can’t get into war stories, I like human stories not stories of war and glory. I like you know magic and stuff too, not stories about who got the best cow, oh boy! If I lived back then I would be make up stuff about religion as my job and try not to fight anyone.
Except for the very non-Celtic Patrick, you have to get through over 1/2 of this documentary before it talks about anything Irish. Lots of info about Rome and the Gauls and Boudicca though. CROMWELL productions???!!! Is that a sick joke??? I should have stopped watching as soon as that popped up. Really, next a company named Hitler will produce a documentary about European Jewish culture. This reeks of British cultural elitism.

Ok so we're halfway through this amd haven't mentioned Irish characters
shameful. 35 minutes of brits talking about the gauls and british celts from the roman perspective... and then finally they get to a bit of actual irish myth... presented by an american. the raw amount of irish myth that was missed is practically immeasurable - but hey, let's talk about the non-irish for 35 minutes, right? finally in the last three minutes, we actually hear a native irish voice for 60 seconds. here's a hint - the next time you want to make a doc about a people's history and mythology, ask the people themselves.
Half an hour in and still no mention of any kind of Celtic mythology... I think the mistitled this one...
There is basically no mythology or legend discussed in this.
