Genesis of Celtic Ireland

5,508 BC This was the Year acknowledged in Constantinople during the 7^th Century AD as the beginning of the time of 1.Adam and 1.Eve the original recorded ancestors of the Semites the Hebrews / Israelites / Jews and the Arab Muslims, and the Christians and this date was to be then used for a 1,000 years in the future by the Eastern Orthodox Church.

5,500 BC Copper smelting was first used in Iran.

5,490 BC In the future the early Christians in Syria where to espouse this particular year as the probable time of *1.Adam and *1.Eve.

5199 BC This was the Year of the beginning of the personal recording of the Genealogy of the particular people who came into Human history to initially be known as the Hebrews / Habiru then as the Israelites, then as the Jews of Judah. It was also the beginning of that intrinsic history that was to be eventually combined in the Torah of the Jews, the Bible of the Christians and the Koran of the Arab Muslims and was also to be the date that would be officially adopted by the Christian Universal / Katholikos Church of the original individual recorded progenitors of the Hebrews / Israelites / Jews, Muslim Arabs and the Christians,*1.Adam and *1.Eve. This Year then also began the Genealogical History of most of the recorded World / AM of today, especially for those members of the Chrestos / Christian religion who later came to follow the teachings of Jesus the Christ / the Saviour who was actually born into the Jewish religion around 6 - 7 BC to be crucified for his particular beliefs in the early 1st Century in 26 / 27AD. This new religious group was to ameliorate on a specific condition that was contained in the Hebrew, Israelite and Jewish Torah of "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Although the Chrestos / Christians were to accept the basic 10 Commandments of the Torah delivered by Moses and believed in the One True God, they also took up the fundamental teaching of the "Golden Rule" of Jesus the Christ, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and "Turn the other cheek."

By 64 - 70 AD this new religious group would become more generically known as the Christians, which actually stems from the Greek word used for them at that time, Chrestos meaning - good or kind. Under the further influence of the Greek language they then became known as the Katholikos Chrestos / Universal Christians - or Catholic Christians. By computation over time it was finally resolved among the hierarchy of the Universal Church that the year 5199 BC was the actual time that *1.Adam and *1.Eve existed in their male genealogical line. In the original Hebrew / Habiru History his son, 2.Cain was to kill his own brother, 2.Abel in a fit of jealousy and was caste out to fend for himself and in Irish History another son was later born to them named *2.Seth who with three of 2.Cain's daughters were to be the first recorded human beings to sight the furthest Western Isle that is now known as Ireland / Eire, although over the Centuries it has had many individual distinct titles.

In the recorded Hebrew History, *2.Seth's son, *3.Enosh became the father of *4.Kenan, whose son, *5.Mahalalel was the father of *6.Jared. whose son, *7.Enoch was to be the father of the oldest living recorded human being ever, in *8.Methuselah. His son, *9.Lamech was then to produce a World - wide well known individual son of his own who would vastly change the destinies of the whole World, *10.Noah. It would be one of his sons, *11.Japheth who would begin the Irish History of Celtic Gaelic Milesian Eire / Ireland as his second son *12.Magog would be the original direct ancestor of all of the Keltoi / Celts.

5,000 BC Due to the continuing melting Ice Caps the Sea levels had risen again to within 10 metres below today's levels and further fertile lowlands would be lost in the Nile Delta and the Persian Gulf and this created a natural struggle among the populations there for the available land and water, while further migration also occurred at this time from Alba / Scotland into Ireland when the peoples then existing there during the Stone Age also came across. A canoe was to be found in more modern times in Ireland from this period making it the oldest known craft ever discovered in Ireland.

4,500 BC There now appeared Neolithic Agriculture and many of the Plants and Animals had by now been domesticated.

4,200 BC - 3,500 BC Court Cairns and Passage Tombs were under construction from now on in Ireland with the construction of the Passage Grave near the mouth of the River Boyne begun in Northern Leinster.

4,000 BC - 2,000 BC The *New Stone Age / Neolithic Period.

4,000 BC Disturbed primitive cultivators and stock raisers now began to spread northward from the ancient East as Neolithic / New Stone Age migrations came from the south - east settling into the bottom lands of the Middle River Danube basin and from there they spread to the River Rhine and its tributaries, the Rivers Saale and Elbe and the head - water of the River Oder. Later migrations would spread from the Western Mediterranean along the Atlantic coast of Europe into the region now known as the British Isles. Among these would be the Iberians, the Mediterraneans, the Berbers, the Basques, the Silurians or Euskarian people whose language was Hamitic who were to come from Central Africa. They were to be short in stature with long skulls and dark hair and dark eyes who were still to be an agricultural people, not pastoral, while using a terrace system of farming with long barrows for their burials.

    Prior to this period Neolithic settlers were also to arrive via the Gulf of Lions through Eastern Europe and these were to be more settled groups and their culture would impact on the Older Mesolithic populations and intermingling would occur and the Mesolithic way of life would then only continue to be around the north and eastern regions.

    The next lot of distinct People would be tall, fair, light haired with blue or grey eyes and a broad head who were Aryan, who in language would be akin to the Latins, Greeks, Teutonics, Slavics, the Zend of ancient Persia, and the Sanskrit of Mother India, and they would come from Central Europe along the Danube River or Alps region and would use round barrows for their burials depositing their burnt ashes in them. They were to be a higher Culture then the original Iberians, who were nevertheless similar, and would introduce Bronze and Silver. There would be 2 main branches who had initially originated in Scythia from their original territory above the Black Sea in the Mediterranean region who would be eventually individually physically diverse, and who would arrive at different times into Ireland, and these would be known as the Belgae / Fir Bolg and the Gaels / Goidels.

    Cattle, Goats and Sheep were brought into Ireland at this time, along with Cereal Grains and a Ceide / Field was in use, which was a large Neolithic field area with stone walls and one of these was to be discovered dating from this period in Co. Mayo in the mid - west of the Connacht Province under a thick layer of peat, which may also show that they might have lived in larger communities as great Burial Mounds now also appeared in Ireland, such as the Dolmen and Portal Tombs.

                                                                               +On to Seanchus of Celtic Ireland - 5
