Not too tough to find out some if you want to. I was just researching one branch of my ancestry and found the Annals and other translated books. I got merrily distracted looking into them! Great stories!
@Easttowest you can find in a collection of Irish tales “the tragedy of the sons of tuirean” Tuirean is pronounced Turin, one of the biggest heroes of the Silmarillion. Helm of Helm’s Deep is greatly outnumbered at his death, after killing off most of his enemy, he ties himself to a standing stone to keep himself upright so he can continue fighting. Even after he finally dies, he does not fall and the enemy is afraid to approach him. This is exactly how Cuchulainn, one of the great Irish heroes, dies. All the elves in Tolkien are basically the Tuatha De Danaan. It isn’t covered in this video but after the Tuatha invade Ireland, the Milesians invade and defeat the Tuatha. They agree to get half the Island. The Tuatha get the half below ground. They live in the hills. The Tuatha live forever, they are immortal. As it says in the video, they are beautiful. They also live on islands over the sea to the west Tir Na Nog and Hy Brasil. If you know the Hobbit, Legolas’ people live underground in Mirkwood. In the Silmarillion, the elves live underground in Menengroth and Nagarothand. Tolkien took from many sources, not just Norse mythology. He didn’t want to make a carbon copy of Norse myth. There is Roman history, Christian influences like Milton’s Paradise Lost, Dante’s Inferno, Greek myth, Finnish myth and lots more. People hear that he took the names of Gandalf and the 12 dwarfs in the Hobbit from the Eddas and say “Norse”. There is a huge Celtic influence whether he would admit it or not. I believe Tolkien had a bit of a bad opinion about Ireland because through the early part of his life they were fighting, and succeeding, at leaving the United Kingdom and as someone who had a great love of England, he probably did not like that.
Your animation is UNMATCHED. For year's you have been giving HIGH QUALITY continent. Thank you to ALL that are giving us their Passion and Hardwork. Great stuff.
@@77wolfblade I think you might be surprised by how much exists. Compared to other countries a lot of this stuff is incredibly well documented or kept in the form of artifacts. If you look into it on the book side of things we have a lot of preserved books that are over 1000 years old. As for buildings and artifacts, we have so many that they aren't considered special here by a fair amount of people. When you live in a place where ruins are just everywhere it's not as weird to you. Like just in terms of the Tuathe De Denann, there's Newgrange which is over 5,000 years old and believed to belong to the Dagda. There was also bones of a body inside which they sequenced the genome of. They studied and gave incredibly insightful data on the kind of group said person would've come from based on his dna. Then beside Newgrange you have Knowth, also over 5000 years old. A place so full of stone age stone carving art that of the over 900 pieces of stone age carving art in Europe, over 600 of those are in County Meath Ireland alone and a fair majority of that amount is just in Knowth.
@@77wolfblade If you ever feel in the mood to read some irish books can find pdfs online to read The book of the dun cow (dated to be made before 1106 because that's when the author was killed, so at least 916 years old), the Book of Kells (dated to the year 800, i.e- at least 1200 years ago) and the Annals of the Four Masters published in 1636 which aimed to cover all of irish history. Online you can find pdfs of the legit originals, so to read them you just need to translate with an aid or be able to read the language/find someone who can. That's irish for Dun Cow and 4 Masters, latin for book of kells I believe. There's other books out there but these ones spring to mind as a starting point.
@@77wolfblade I agree that a lot of records are gone, which is sad and really sucks, but we frankly do have way more to go off than most countries and I see that as a blessing. Like you can outright just go inside Newgrange. You can go to the any variety of castle, round tower, ruin.. and some are well protected, maybe even requiring tickets to go in like Newgrange does (but it literally costs you 10 euro to go inside) but most of these things are just around us in Ireland we considered normal. Like on the way out of my village there's a lot of ruins along the way with signs that say stuff like "Old ruins. Don't touch. Dangerous" etc Our history is still surrounding us. It's pretty cool.
When I was younger, there was Hercules and Xena on TV. Both series visited Ireland and introduced their mythology to folks. One reason I loved both series was the way they went into myths of so many nations!
Very nice. Tuatha is pronounced two-ha. The Tuatha de Danann were the people of Danú, an ancient European goddess. Her name is associated with with the river Danube.
Love that you are keeping my ancestors mythos alive! That being said you did mispronounce the Gaelic words pretty hardcore. Understandable though, certain letter combinations mean something else in Gaelic than it does in English.
considering how popular JRR Tolkien's work is and how heavily it is influenced by celtic traditions, it is a bit weird that people around world know about the celtic mythologies much less than other mythologies
That passes me off. It seems like European and Scandinavian myths are never taught. They are just as important as Greek and Roman myths. In fact, I think they are more important.
i feel it’s because those myths were from the societies who dominate culture today. Europe being a leader of western culture - and america another leader being originally from europe.
Missing some key context here. The earlier settling tribes were wiped out and the Nemedians (the tribes that followed Nehmed) were simialrly defeated and dispersed, some going into Britain and basically disappearing from Irish myth, some into 'The North of the World (spoiler alert), and others to Greece to become slaves and return as... The Fir Bolg, or men of the sack. When the Tuatha De Danaan came to conquer Ireland, it was really the Fir Bolg fighting their own cousins who turned into gods.
Spoiler alert: the Fir Bolg and the Fomorians are one and the same. Most of the invasions describes are just retellings of the same story, altered by Christian monks to fit the Biblical timeline.
This video made me really curious and made me look up some other sites in the topic Lebor Gabála Érenn. To say the lease, a whole new world just popped into my life and made me look at some things from a different perspective. I'm coming from a scythian origin an my family name is Nemet... never knew - or imagined - that I could find relations this deep. I got hooked by Irish mythology.
These are good pronunciations, I always watch these guys and they are great at gathering the correct knowledge instead of guessing at the words. As a Dublin man, I really enjoyed this, nice to see knowledge of Irish mythology spread.
@@conneelyb I understood it, who's to say what his accent is? Only so close he can get without being Irish, I've been subscribed to this channel for years and they put effort in
It's very well told and presented. Pronunciation of Irish words if you're not familiar with it, is quite difficult. Tuatha dé Danann phonetically in English would be similar to "Tooha day dannun"
You're mad. This guy never bothered to do the slightest bit of research into pronunciation of irish words. Fir bolg is "feir buh-lug" not "fur bowlg". Tuatha de Dannan is "Two-uh de dah-nun" not "twa-thuh". These aren't esoteric words, they're composed of basic irish words. And then there's "Sreng", which he swings wildly with in pronunciation (as well as "dannan") like he's trying to hedge his bets. In irish "s" is pronounced like "sh", like "Sean" or "Siobhan". This is simple stuff that anyone could have figured out if they spent two seconds.
This video is amazing!!!, plus, the artwork speechless, it's really easy to learn this way and I've loved the way you narrated the whole history, thank you!
Quite the collection of inaccuracies, if you count Lebor Gabala Erenn. The Dé Danann were not to be the celts (a people group spread much further than just Ireland) but the dominant gods of Ireland. They were later defeated by another people who took over the island, but came to worship Dé Danann after a peace treaty where the latter was assigned the underworld to live in.
And -I’m pretty sure?- Bres doesn’t die fighting the Fir Bolg, but goes on to be tyrant king for a bit and does a whole thing with the Fomorians, who Nuada and the others fight against and overthrow.
That was epic! This video just happened to pop into my feed, and I thought it was going to be a list of Irish mythological creatures (because I didn't fully read the title, and I've been researching mythological creatures). I was in for a great surprise! Animations were great! The flow of the story was captivating. The only petty critique I can offer is the subtitles. The captions would show "Fear Bulg" instead of "Fir Bolg" (or "Firbolg" or "Fir Bholg" according to wikipedia) and other similar misspellings. But like I said, it is a petty critique. Great work! Definitely going to go down a rabbit hole on your channel!
This is missing the Formorians and the Milesians of Ireland. The Tuatha Dé Dannan were above Milesians and later pushed to the Otherworld to become the Gods and mystical beings while the Milesians became the Irish.
Surprisingly few people are aware of the origin of all these mythologies. It's the same as our languages, they originate with the ancient Indo-Europeans who conquered Eurasia.
The Celtic gods of the Irish are very amazing and strong. I wish Tyr from God of War told Kratos and Aterus more about the other gods and mortals from these lands he visited.
Well its implied that Mimir is from the Celtic Lands and that he wasn't always a god. I like to think that he was a fae creature, eventually granted godhood and then made his way to midgard. Might explain why he has horns too
Please note: Based on the DNA, (Peer Reviewed resources available) *We Irish are Garlic, and post flood era Basque.* The Celts are likely Anglos, they are of a foggy heritage, no clear definition has been made, and thus they appear to be of the Roman named Barbarians, the Germanics, generalized Anglos.
Absolutely incredible and captivating. I could feel the spirits of my ancestors who fought, bled, and wept for their freedom to live and carry on their culture
Really enjoyed watching that! My son and I watched together. Very impressive graphics! He enjoys mythology but we never had really heard about tuatha de danaan. Love it! So who was the common ancestors that tuatha and the firbolg shared??
I know...lol...but such effort in the video makes up for it...but i cant help but wince when i hear certain words mispronounced like tuatha de danann pronounced should be (two ahh day daa nann)
My ancestors of Oh Eochaidh, Dal Fiatach, dynasty of Ulaid, Hoy, Orkney Islands Hoy, Norse spelling Hoay, very much enjoyed this video, amazing looking back on the ancient wars of our people and now US citizen, how times have changed for the better, all the very best.
Tuatha dé dannan= Tua dé Dah nàn Fir Bolg= Furh Bullg (bolg is pronounced like bully not like bowl like wise fir is pronounced like fur not fear) its difficult for me to put into writing, but there are hundreds of tutorials that one could use to learn, which, as an anthropologist and historian, it seems lazy to me to NOT learn the pronounciation properly if one is going to tell our legends and myths. Perhaps the best piece if advise this 3rd generation Irish American can give the narrator is to learn our language and pronounciation or Gabh transna ort fhéin...ill leave that last bit up to the reader to translate.
@Grendel S Rage Fir bolg; men of the bag; na fir; Fir is fir; like Vir in Latin; meaning men (Virility; having a stiff willy) Like Fear; (man) fir (men) an fear; na fir; it's okay to mispronounce your own ancestral laguage, lotsa Americans in the same boat with ye! 🤣
Yup, but I watch lots of Chinese costume Dramas even when I have to translate the translation because it is awful. I still appreciate the attempt and enjoy the story. Judging by the number of hits, others agree. I am sure though they will enjoy your points and use them later. 😉
Do you guys know in rigved there is a story where river goddess danu's sons where exiled after a battle and send to west and those are referred as danavas (sons of river goddess danu) . If you don't believe me please search it it's fascinating how we all are connected from all those years ❤
Whoa whoa whoa, Bres dies? Is there another one or is the Bres in this video the same one as the half fomori who takes over after nuada? Because if it’s the same Bres him dying makes no sense unless there’s some story about him being revived that I missed. Does anyone have some clarification?
@Easttowest that I know about, but that’s after the battle at Maigh Tuired with the Fomori, the video insinuated that Bres was killed in combat during the firbolg battles, which is what confused me. Thank you, though

@@31957TurtleDove Ádh mór ( good luck ) If you really want to learn I would suggest using Babbel. It's easy also convenient for daily use I looked for a friend of mine. It really is a beautiful language I'm just upset it's not used more especially in Ireland

Ibero-sumerin : Georgian iberian , Spanish iberian and Irish celtic iberian ( basque , corsican) . Iberians _ Iberian in Georgia and spain(silicitians if i remember correctly) also in anatolia and aegean sea were pelasgs and in italy etruscan , north west celts . Good to mention Hugo's " man who alwayse laughed" 17 century scene in boat where were irish and basque pople together , Hugo tells us that iris people knew what basque people were talking(their language which is closly related with Georgian also) . Name iberian comes from "Ivern" descedent of japeth and man who didn't went in babylon. Also good to mention that first south ireland was called Hibernia and capital was " iverni" also good too mention that in ireland were ancient colchesh Surnames like nowdays "mingrelians"
Read on the Menapii. , Fermanagh Belgic tribe who ruled the seas and were of many places in Scotland still have, names attached to , the sea Goddess , named . Annan . And many other Places.
These stories should be taught more in our schools instead of the European stuff that is taught now. Keep it local. Many stories and local history was handed down through generation to generation from many a family in Ireland. Our stories are shared with those in Scotland our kin Alba the land of the Irish. Before being named Scotland especially the western and southern parts of Scotland belonged to the people's of the north northwest of Ireland the O'Neil O'Donnell ect of Niall of the nine hostages forebears and descendants ruled the land as Saint Colmcille Columba as he was also known was granted lands of Iona from his kinsman the king of the western isles. Colmcille being a great grand son of Niall of the nine hostages thus a Prince himself. 🤴 Built a monastery on the island along with in Derry-Lderry and on other locations throughout Ireland and Northern England and in Scotland. These places became great places of education and preserved the customs traditions folklore and historical information and faith heped to bring back the faith back to the rest of the known world which was plunged into chaos during early the Dark ages. If it wasn't for monks like Colmcille Columba and Columbanus Europe wouldn't be Europe today nor the world of Christianity itself.
You were SO CLOSE to getting the Irish right. Mainly for how you say Tuatha dé Danann. It's TWO-AH (the TH is silent) not TWATH-AH, DAY (vowels are pronounced differently with the line over them, called the fáda), DAN (like Daniel) - IN. Altogether it's said as TWO-AH, DAY, DAN-IN. I hope this helps... and PLEASE, when you write your next script on Irish history and mythological lore, don't be afraid to ask for help on double checking your pronunciations!! Reddit, Discord, TH-cam, we're everywhere and it's not too hard to learn! There's even an IRISH PERSON explaining the lore of the Tuatha dé Danann on TH-cam! PLEASE do my home some justice and learn how to say the words right, cause Irish is its own unique language and it deserves some love too.
Irish Mythology, you know there are Aninated movies that are related to Irish Mythology like The Secrets of Kells, Song of the Sea, and even Wolfwalkers
Had the Fir Bill had just took the deal, they would have had a much better offer without the bloodshed. They also settled in Coonacht, which makes them my ancestors
Oppressed people like the Irish, Africans, gypsies they always seem to have the strongest of magics, and celestial beings or Gods and goddesses. At least in my opinion they do. Though Egypt was prosperous many was slaves not many benefited from the wealth.
@@clovismerovingian7764They were not it only appears so, to lure the unwary, the Vikings found out this to be true, when captured they were boiled alive in Fulacthta Fiadh, the new invaders may end up similar.
Actual gods but the stories have been muddled over the centuries. Also the Fir Bolg are most likely named after the Belgae who were 'Celtic' tribes from northern Gaul.
Not enough people speak of the Tuatha. It is one of the greatest and most mysterious mythologies. Tolkein drew from it a lot.
I think he took more from the Norse beliefs, which if you go far enough back - are all related.
Not too tough to find out some if you want to. I was just researching one branch of my ancestry and found the Annals and other translated books. I got merrily distracted looking into them! Great stories!

Thank you for uploading this
Lebor Gabála Érenn / the book of invasions /taking of Ireland has all these stories in it and alot more
Tuatha dé dannan= Tua dé Dah nàn
Fir Bolg= Furh Bullg (bolg is pronounced like bully not like bowl like wise fir is pronounced like fur not fear) its difficult for me to put into writing, but there are hundreds of tutorials that one could use to learn, which, as an anthropologist and historian, it seems lazy to me to NOT learn the pronounciation properly if one is going to tell our legends and myths. Perhaps the best piece if advise this 3rd generation Irish American can give the narrator is to learn our language and pronounciation or Gabh transna ort fhéin...ill leave that last bit up to the reader to translate.
whats even lazier is that irish hasnt changed its writing to reflect pronounciation lol
@@iaw7406 why would we change our language for people who won't take the time to learn it
@Grendel S Rage Fir bolg; men of the bag; na fir; Fir is fir; like Vir in Latin; meaning men (Virility; having a stiff willy) Like Fear; (man) fir (men) an fear; na fir; it's okay to mispronounce your own ancestral laguage, lotsa Americans in the same boat with ye! 🤣
@@chungus_khan "having a stiff willy" 😭🤣🤣🤣 ☠
Yup, but I watch lots of Chinese costume Dramas even when I have to translate the translation because it is awful. I still appreciate the attempt and enjoy the story. Judging by the number of hits, others agree. I am sure though they will enjoy your points and use them later. 😉
I can't wait to see the legend of Cu Chulainn, a demigod and son of Lugh.
Setanta, The Hound of Cullen. The prototype Berserker and I guess probably where the Incredible Hulk's creator got his inspiration from.
he wont pronounce it right. He should listen to Fortress of Lugh who 's pronunciations are perfect.
Epic coverage, thank you.
This will save my history project
Are there any studies on the connection between the mahabarat and Tuatha?
Do you guys know in rigved there is a story where river goddess danu's sons where exiled after a battle and send to west and those are referred as danavas (sons of river goddess danu) . If you don't believe me please search it it's fascinating how we all are connected from all those years ❤
This animation is really cool
what happened to the Fomorian's , u know the first inhabitants of Ireland
Great artwork and great work overall!
really good and that's my lineage
Whoa whoa whoa, Bres dies? Is there another one or is the Bres in this video the same one as the half fomori who takes over after nuada? Because if it’s the same Bres him dying makes no sense unless there’s some story about him being revived that I missed. Does anyone have some clarification?
@Easttowest that I know about, but that’s after the battle at Maigh Tuired with the Fomori, the video insinuated that Bres was killed in combat during the firbolg battles, which is what confused me. Thank you, though
I need an answer to this comment.
Take it for what it is, there are several inaccuracies.
@@anthonyclark9159 fair enough
I'm writing a trilogy about Tuatha De Danann. I'm working on it everyday.
Where can I find some sources on this material?
Its pronunced phonetically TWO A NA DANN IN... tuatha De Danann just commenting as a Gaeilge speaker. nice video to show my kids ... Im Irish go raibh maith agat love the Graphic Novel approach .. its cool
Why did you leave out the "DÉ"?
I mention your channel to my friend she from Galway I'm from Cork but she couldn't find what I wrote. You know it's kind of messed up I try to help you out several times and you delete my comment. Then I see other people complaining about the same thing. As a native Irish pagan from Ireland and my family has lived here basically forever I like to help people that are giving misinformation or pronunciation of our lore because it is a living language and history.
Wow, Lady G I would love you to teach me Gaelic language. It is beautiful.
@@31957TurtleDove Ádh mór ( good luck ) If you really want to learn I would suggest using Babbel. It's easy also convenient for daily use I looked for a friend of mine. It really is a beautiful language I'm just upset it's not used more especially in Ireland
Well done sure you know what u are talking about take it you are not bias but truthfull about the language and history of all Ireland rock on...
Making us Irish proud.
An interesting thing to consider is that the Firbulg could be a mythologized version of the people of Ireland who came before the Celts
but that seer who guided the first people said the land was untouched by man until the woman grandaughter of noah cesair arrived with 50 women and 3 men one of them including that shape shifter
Deucalion to some. This story is about my Great Grandfather's Ancestors and this is A TREASURE to me.
I love this art style, somebody please teach me how to paint like this
I'm so proud of my Irish ancestry.
Ibero-sumerin : Georgian iberian , Spanish iberian and Irish celtic iberian ( basque , corsican) . Iberians _ Iberian in Georgia and spain(silicitians if i remember correctly) also in anatolia and aegean sea were pelasgs and in italy etruscan , north west celts . Good to mention Hugo's " man who alwayse laughed" 17 century scene in boat where were irish and basque pople together , Hugo tells us that iris people knew what basque people were talking(their language which is closly related with Georgian also) . Name iberian comes from "Ivern" descedent of japeth and man who didn't went in babylon. Also good to mention that first south ireland was called Hibernia and capital was " iverni" also good too mention that in ireland were ancient colchesh Surnames like nowdays "mingrelians"
There is no reason in this day and age to be mispronouncing "Tuatha dé Danann"
Or Connacht for that matter 😂
Exactly right on both counts.
The son of Dan the tribe of Israel?
@@viciousmindzentertainment9307 no the sons of the goddess Danu. They come from the grove of holly. They worshipped a female deity.
@@ChiefGodspeed that's your opinion mine differs
Read on the Menapii. , Fermanagh Belgic tribe who ruled the seas and were of many places in Scotland still have, names attached to , the sea Goddess , named . Annan . And many other Places.
Everything is perfect but the music, it's distracting..
So did the Tuatha de Danann become the Dal Riada kingdom? Is that the same 1/5 of Ireland the received?
no. Dál riada is just one small kingdom out of 150 or so that would have existed at the same time. Nothing to do with the Tuatha
These stories should be taught more in our schools instead of the European stuff that is taught now.
Keep it local.
Many stories and local history was handed down through generation to generation from many a family in Ireland.
Our stories are shared with those in Scotland our kin Alba the land of the Irish.
Before being named Scotland especially the western and southern parts of Scotland belonged to the people's of the north northwest of Ireland the O'Neil O'Donnell ect of Niall of the nine hostages forebears and descendants ruled the land as Saint Colmcille Columba as he was also known was granted lands of Iona from his kinsman the king of the western isles. Colmcille being a great grand son of Niall of the nine hostages thus a Prince himself. 🤴
Built a monastery on the island along with in Derry-Lderry and on other locations throughout Ireland and Northern England and in Scotland.
These places became great places of education and preserved the customs traditions folklore and historical information and faith heped to bring back the faith back to the rest of the known world which was plunged into chaos during early the Dark ages.
If it wasn't for monks like Colmcille Columba and Columbanus Europe wouldn't be Europe today nor the world of Christianity itself.
Subbed!
Anyone who is interested there is a man named gary wayne who speaks a lot about the tuatha
Cuchulain and Finn McCool
"Nuada of the silver arm." Maybe the winter soldiers character from Captain America was based on him
You were SO CLOSE to getting the Irish right. Mainly for how you say Tuatha dé Danann.
It's TWO-AH (the TH is silent) not TWATH-AH, DAY (vowels are pronounced differently with the line over them, called the fáda), DAN (like Daniel) - IN.
Altogether it's said as TWO-AH, DAY, DAN-IN.
I hope this helps... and PLEASE, when you write your next script on Irish history and mythological lore, don't be afraid to ask for help on double checking your pronunciations!! Reddit, Discord, TH-cam, we're everywhere and it's not too hard to learn! There's even an IRISH PERSON explaining the lore of the Tuatha dé Danann on TH-cam! PLEASE do my home some justice and learn how to say the words right, cause Irish is its own unique language and it deserves some love too.
Irish Mythology, you know there are Aninated movies that are related to Irish Mythology like The Secrets of Kells, Song of the Sea, and even Wolfwalkers
Fun fact dagda's uncle is still very well known..in a warped sort of way.. irish celts: lugh, gauls: lugus, romans: lucifer. True fact
Lucifer and the Dagda you say?
When was this?
Sons of Danu... The Danoi... The Danaan... Tribe of Dan... Could they all be one in the same?
No, they aren't
No
Celt: The Morrigan can defeat Thor
Norseman: I'm def going to make your kids hair red 😏
Both the vilking and Norman invaions failed miserably in Ireland lol
I've always wondered if the Irish origin myths come from the bronze age collapse. When the sea peoples set out to conquer the middle east.
This isn't entirely accurate. Read the book " The Story of the irish Race" by Seumas MacManus
Crazy that the Danu won the war after basically losing every battle lol
Had the Fir Bill had just took the deal, they would have had a much better offer without the bloodshed.
They also settled in Coonacht, which makes them my ancestors
Something else would have happened. The war was inevitable.
Brees is not just a danu warrior he cant even count as one of danu even because hes more fomorian than he is de dannan
He's half and half.
What about the Fomorians?
I don't understand much but Why would gods fight for a land?
I need this in written
You need to know that there were people in Ireland, before the Celts.
So this is definitely a tale about the arrival of vikings in Ireland, right?
These stories are from long before but had similarity to the later viking attacks
@@zoink3383 eh, could have happened several times though across history. Didn't thr Aztecs have a prophecy of the same thing? Time is cyclical
About 4 thousand years before our “Viking age”, but he history is cyclical so w/e
no
Why is this not a movie?
Some say the tuatha were descendants of Atlantis.
History channel be like ancient aliens
Were the Tuatha Dé Danann not the pre-celtic gods? The neolithic gods of the mounds.
What does the spear of assassins do, that's the only one that wasn't said
The Caspian Sea is land-locked, How could "they" set sail from there to Ireland?
All Hail the Shining Ones!
This art is awesome but I thought the ferbolg had one, one arm
Somehow, we all might believe in Fairies today from this.
It's better to believe in them than suffer their wrath. Think about it.
I totally believe in the Fae people.
Oppressed people like the Irish, Africans, gypsies they always seem to have the strongest of magics, and celestial beings or Gods and goddesses. At least in my opinion they do. Though Egypt was prosperous many was slaves not many benefited from the wealth.
If they had such strong magics why were they oppressed for so long?
@@clovismerovingian7764They were not it only appears so, to lure the unwary, the Vikings found out this to be true, when captured they were boiled alive in Fulacthta Fiadh, the new invaders may end up similar.
Any story with druid assassins is faded to be good.
There is no “th” sound (like in English) in Irish. “Tuatha” is pronounced “Tua-ha”.
So where tuatha and fir bolg and famorians like Demi gods? Or like the Nordic gods ?
Actual gods but the stories have been muddled over the centuries. Also the Fir Bolg are most likely named after the Belgae who were 'Celtic' tribes from northern Gaul.
Great video! Foghlaim Gaeilge a labhairt and you will speak the language of legends!
