Fascinating about Scota the princess. I heard this before also and I am Irish. My mother works as the head guide in Tara Hill in county Meath, a
neolithic henge taht lines up with the winter solstice, purportedly as old as the pyramids. The take she tells is that the first people in Ireland
were the Fir Bolg(men of the bag), probably a tribe that crossed the land bridge between britain and ireland at the end of the last ice age and who
developed their ownculture. The next crowd over were the Milesian Gaels as you refered to, that ties into the story you say about the prince from
North Spain. They came over around 500 BC supposedly. These Milesian Gaels had Iron and managed to subjugate the Fir Bolg. The next guys over were the
Vikings followed by the Normans and finally the English. There was a supposed legendary tribe that goes hand in hand with the fairytales and legends
fo the ladn called the Tuatha De Danaan. Some people say that this name is synonomous with the Dan tribe of Israel, one of their sixteen(or is it
eleven) tribes of Israel. This i find hard to believe though. My mother has never refered to an egyptian connection though proving travel between
Egypt and Ireland. The most remote and strange connection was finding roman coins in the mounds on Tara that the archaelogists believe, when combining
with other sources, were bribes from the Roman Legions to stop Irish raiders slaving on the Roman controlled British shore circa second or third
century. If the Romans traded with Ireland, its my opinion that it is perfectly possible for Egyptian traders to have gtten this far at least. the
Atlantic though seems insurmountable in my opinion to Bronze age people. Although as i have said before, a tour guide i bumped into in South America
swore to me that there were Egyptian relics to be found near Lake Titicaca.
One last thing though. The Irish for a Black man is actually "Fear Gorm" which when translated means Blue man! The theory is that North African
traders who sailed up the coast had blue face paint with dark skin, and this reference to fear gorm has been around for thousand of years. So i say,
if traders could come up the coast from West and North Africa, why not the Egyptians getting that far too. Fascinating subject!
over and out,
