Hey Atomix, Dia Dhuit
I would be interested to know if you have any information on the gateways to underground areas via the Rock of Cashel?
I don't remember hearing how the Tuatha arrived in Ireland, but I thought it was from the south. They all had red hair and fair skin apparently, which was not so commen back then.
I wonder how it would all tie in with the stories of Tir na Nog??

So that they were the Tuatha De Danann who came to Ireland. In this wise they came, in dark clouds. They landed on the mountains of Conmaicne Rein in Connachta; and they brought a darkness over the sun for three days and three nights.

What if they are the same race? Ireland and Egypt are extremely different so it wouldnt be a surprise that their accounts of these beings might differ. Anyways I found this interesting so I will be doing my own research into this subject. I will keep you all updated and please let me know if you find anything yourself!

Ummm thats your opinion.... the egyptians clearly depicted beings from the sky in their drawings. And did I ever say the celts couldnt draw? No, I did not. You know what they say about ASS- umptions.

You seem to be having an issue with understanding what I am saying. This is obviously a personal problem as clearly noone else is having this issue. I never said a thing about Celtic drawings.... that was YOU. The only query I made was about the Tuatha De Dannan being the same sky beings the Egyptians depicted in their pictographs, hieroglyphs, whatever.

Elora Dannan was a character in the movie Willow, and Tuatha was a part of a magic spell in that movie as well. I guess Hollywood studies Irish lore too.
And yes I know this is a pointless point.
