Who are the Irish? April 22, 2023 Nicola Irish History </p> <h2>Origins and Nature of the Irish People</h2> <p> Covering the origins and nature of the Irish people from their earliest beginnings to the modern day through archaeology, mythology and history. It is only the most brief of introductions and focuses more on origins and myth so do not expect an in-depth history, but a quick overview of some important points.</p> <p>Feel free to dispute specific figures. I typically went with mid-range estimates. The fact is, nobody actually knows the true figures, but they were massive and terrible.</p> <p>Also, unlike most of my Irish-related videos where I often try to use Old Gaelic pronunciation, I do try to use modern (Munster-ish) pronunciation throughout this video for names, though there may be some inconsistencies or errors. Obviously I am not a native speaker. I can only try my best.</p> <p>Contents<br /> 00:00 – Introduction<br /> 02:12 – Stone Age Settlement<br /> 03:35 – Bell Beakers<br /> 07:43 – Celts<br /> 12:30 – Mythical origins<br /> 24:30 – Gaelic Society from legend to history<br /> 28:23 – Medieval Ireland & the Normans<br /> 33:43 – Beyond the Pale.
