Irish didn`t reach SHIT.

many millions lived in nth sth america before it was "discovered"

Rhun is not pronounced 'reen'. Whilst u in modern southern Welsh can be pronounced 'ee', in the sixth century u was pronounced 'oo'. Thus OW 'pul' was pronounced as modern Welsh 'pwll'. In the 6thC Rhun was spelt Run. The correct pronunciation is 'hroon'.

Aetius is not pronounced ay-tee-us but a-etee-us or Aëtius where the A is pronounced as in 'cat', followed by a hiatus, followed by a short 'e' as in 'get'. It does not use a dipthong. He died in 454 not 450 as you state.

Yes the Irish did get to America first and they also got to the sun first cos they went at night

If it doesnt fit within the Christianity progressed everythjng narrative then its mythical ..... wait till you see the bearing straight 😂😂😂😂

No.

The Irish Church 400-700 CE operated seperately from the Church of Rome. had no connection to Rome

The biggest block to believing the Irish didn't reach America first is anti-Irish/anti-Catholic bigotry from Britain. The Vikings learned about seafaring and navigation from Irish missionaries in Scandinavia which included enlarging their currach in the form of longships. Tim Severin proved this in the 1970s. Also, it doesn't fit the Protestant narrative of the USA.

I would recommend Bill Coopers 'After the flood' for more on Geoffrey of Monmouth

there is a legend in Ireland that St.Brendan did.

The White Sands footprints are 23,000 years old - probably pre-Irish.

Erm... Native Americans got their well before Columbus, or the Irish, or the Welsh or the Vikings.

Nice story. Another piece of the puzzle of humanity!

I am a tad confused. On Crete there are linear A and Linear B scripts. Linear B has been identified as Greek but dates from 800 years before the times You mention. People question if The Minoans were Greek or another people all together, hence my interest. Some modern schollars suggest that Linear A is related to Hungarian and Finnish, but The Magyars came to power some 2500 years later than the last Linear A. so it seems like a computer program gone AWOL. GIGO sort of thing. The Greeks are pretty emotional about any question about Crete especially so long before the legendary Troy. Maybe You could do a programme on it one day? 🙂To the point: 5:30 Is there any linkage between linear A & B? If there were then surely Linear A of The Minoan's would have been decoded by now by dint of any relationship to the now known Linear B?

Highly unlikely.

And how do we think Vikings discovered North America, Greenland, Iceland, Faroe, Britain and Ireland? The Gaels were also raiders long before the Vikings. Lochlann. Blue Tooth. Artwork. The culture it seems, went both ways. Nice presentation.

If you believe that the Vikings made it, then you have to believe their own words. The Irish were there before in the 6th century.

Razor thin, my boy.

Nice job, Caleb... keep it up!

I'm a Hale...digging for more info about my name.

crossing the Atlantic in an 11m leather boat. Brendan the Navigator was an Uber chad.

Nid ydym yn enetig Hebraeg. Rhoddodd Iesu i fyny ei fywyd dros holl bobl y byd. Peace

The strongest evidence in my opinion is the presence of Duendes in Mexico. Duendes are Mexican gnomes, there's a lot of footage on the interwebs. They are very similiar to leprechauns except they speak spanish and eat spicy foods. They even wear the same pointy hats! Its seems obvious to me the leprechauns must of stowed away on the leather Irish boats and then jumped ship when they made landfall. They then migrated to Mexico, because, because I don't know why but thats where they went. There are plenty of videos of them on the interwebs and they are all real!

For me Arthrwys as in Arthrwys ap Meurig is just the Welsh equivalent of Arthur which was likely latinised to Artorius and that was anglicised to Arthur. Arthur is said to mean strong bear and Arthrwys is Arth + rhwys, Arth meaning a bear and Rhwys meaning Vigor/Vigorous; wanton/wantonness; luxuriant/luxuriance; lively So they mean the exact same thing at the end of the day, spelling wasn’t the best back then too, it’s well documented that spelling often depending on the scribe and so that accounted for multiple variations of spelling. Also when it comes to Welsh, the alphabet has changed numerous times over the millennia since the introduction of the Romanised alphabet and at the time in question th would have been t, w would have been u and y was either an e or i, both were used, so Arthrwys would have been either Artruis or Artrues, so Arthrwys could easily have become Artorius in Latin. But i agree 100% that the King Arthur of legend is a conflation of two Arthur’s, both of whom would have had some kind of legend status for their individual feats and over time the two stories got jumbled up and combined into one legend and i agree that Arthur II was Arthrwys ap Meurig, it all just fits, obviously the story has been embellished and romanticised by later writers and storytellers and because of the Chinese whispers phenomenon

Excellent deduction 👍

I'm sure you didn't discount the original people on purpose but you did not consider them. The first people to reach North America were most likely of Asian origin. They came perhaps 50,000 years ago via a land bridge that would have connected Alaska to Russia. North America was completely inhabited long before anyone from Europe came in the past two millennium. Having said that I would assume that it was very likely if not surely true that Irish people came here in the 6th century or perhaps before.

I want this to be true because I am about half Irish.

Saint Dewi is the patron of the Cymric. Saint Dafydd was placed over Dewi. Dewi (one with God) isn't Dafydd. We see this with the Roman Greek Saint George being placed over the British Saint Gwierydd. Again with Saint Helena being an inn keepers daughter when in fact she was a British empress.

Sorry... logic is not proof.

Tim Severin built the ox hide boat and replicated Brendans voyage in it with some maties. Read his book, The Brendan Voyage.

I remember that explorer sailing to prove that Brendan arrived in Americas.

It's fun to imagine, but like pyramids in Antarctica, there's really no evidence that stands up to any rigor.

Breguoin sounds like breckon???

I thought Edinburgh was called din eidyn???

Prince Madoc of Wales also went over to America and there are stones with Cymric Welsh on them.

There are Ogham carvings In North America, we also know there is significant Gaelic DNA in Iceland. Much of the history we are taught appears to be bunk.

So, it seems as if you need to take a look at the area you call Breguoin, as well as the other Edinburgh battle on the rivers. Good short video here.

It was Chris O'lumbus.

Sir in all seriousness do you believe arthur was a real person i would like to do some reading on the subject or watch some thing could you possibly point me in a direction

America was actually known as the great land of Ireland even long before Saint Brendan before Christianity. This is noted in our folklore and handed down through generation to generation.

Salutreans got there first. Iberians for the win

Written by Jordane in 6th Century about Riothamus - "Now Euric, king of the Visigoths, perceived the frequent change of Roman Emperors and strove to hold Gaul by his own right. The Emperor Anthemius heard of it and asked the Brittones for aid. Their King Riotimus came with twelve thousand men into the state of the Bituriges by the way of Ocean, and was received as he disembarked from his ships. (238) Euric, king of the Visigoths, came against them with an innumerable army, and after a long fight he routed Riotimus, King of the Britons, before the Romans could join him. So when he had lost a great part of his army, he fled with all the men he could gather together, and came to the Burgundians, a neighboring tribe then allied to the Romans. But Euric, king of the Visigoths, seized the Gallic city of Arvernum (Avalon); for the Emperor Anthemius was now dead." ---- Now consider that Riothamus is a title and no one actually knows his name and then consider Geoffery of Monmouth wrote about Arthur in over 500 years later and that we know that Welsh monks called all Germanic people as Saxons.

The Irish weren't the first. My ancestors were here long before.

Nice video Caleb, well explained

Excellent description and story behind this obscure character. Best historical evidence I’ve heard for a fact based Arthur!

There is another possible kernel for the growth of the legend, though long before the usual suspects. There was once a British King who presided over a prosperous time, ruling from the city of Camulodunum (the most likely source for Camelot). He regularly defeated his neighbours in battle to spread his rule. His father had already been so powerful that he was called King of the Britons. The young king fought against the armies of an invader across most of southern Britain for eight years before being defeated in a final great battle. He left the scene of the last battle alive and was then betrayed by a Queen who was having an affair with her husband's greatest warrior. The king did not die but went into exile in a far-distant and almost mythical land famous for the size and sweetness of its apples. It was not King Arthur. This king is best known as Caractacus or Caratacus, the version of his name the Romans had used. The original name is thought to have been something like Caratauc or Caratacos. It is derived from a root meaning "beloved" like the modern Welsh cariad. Old Welsh has Caratauc, which became Caradoc. Modern Welsh has Caradog. Old Breton has Caratoc. The surviving Irish form of the name of Caradoc is Carthach or Carthaigh. The modern surnames Carthy and O'Carthy come from the same name. McCarthy derives from "mac Carthaigh" - son of Caratauc. I know historians don't trust Geoffrey of Monmouth but his The History of the Kings of Britain had King Arthur defeating the Romans under the fictional Emperor Lucius Tiberius (or Hiberius) and becoming Emperor himself. Caratauc fought the armies of Claudius. The real Emperor Claudius' first name was Tiberius. I believe Geoffrey had some strange Welsh sources. Caratauc was forgotten until he was resurrected as a hero of the British Empire in the 19th century because of his bravery in fighting a massive Empire, being British and being a noble, well-spoken loser. Even so, he is nowhere near as famous as King Arthur.
