Anybody else see the irony in a company called Cromwell doing an Irish doc?

While I am just about to enjoy this surely interesting episode, as an Irish person, I must coreect the opening words that suggest when St Patrick arrived we were a people several centuries old...it is well accepted that the pre celts were here for many thousands of years...the Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth burial chambers are dated 5,200 years ago, predating Stonehenge, but built by the same peoples!. However we shall hack on and welcome this surely otherwise well researched and well presented work. Happy St. Patrick's to ye all..;)

The sequence around 40:00 is lovely to listen to. This man has a wonderful voice and is a good storyteller.
-
In the early 60's as a boy my grandmother would tell me stories from Irish mythology.
-
This was a good synopsis which could've been expanded into a series. The path from the ancient Celts of Europe to the Christian Celts of Ireland up to the modern day is an enormously long story and takes hours to cover.
-
Such a pleasure listening. Thank you.
-
I watch this every night to fall asleep i love it
-
Cú Chulainn was his name, not Chulainn. Cú Chulainn means "hound of Chulainn". If you don't add "Cú" you're literally just calling him Colin, or Chulainn.

My cousin did research and found out we are related to an Irish King and the Queen of Scots. So proud!
-
More interested in truly ancient celt history, and not how Christianity was brought to them by Patrick. Oh well, moving on.
-
My the truth be unveiled and the true wisdom be remembered by those who are willing to see with open eyes and ears able to hear. May Erin, our mother Land and her Rivers remain abundant and thriving. ❤

This is Celtic history not mythology
-
My granddaughter & my grandparents we're all from Ireland. I love all the stories of Ireland ❤
-
Are you seriously expecting a self-respecting Irish man to watch a documentary about our Ancient History made by Cromwell Productions ?
-
The ferocity of the Celts was both their strength and their weakness. That's still true, in my experience lol.
-
This video blew me away!😍🙌
-
Calls it a document about Ancient Ireland's Celtic Mythology. Starts with the christian interloper. Ptooh!
-
First thought came thumping into my head! Cromwell!!!! God almighty!!
-
I thought this was about Celtic mythology. 10 minutes in and all they've talked about is Patrick.
-
If I'm remembering correctly, in the book How the Irish Saved Civilization, the author states that Patrick was a Coptic Christian, influenced by the commerce between Ireland and Egypt. It was not until the Roman Catholic bishops of England got ahold of him and essentially held him captive, that he finally swore allegiance to the Pope or at least to Roman Catholicism.
