Og in Irish means Young, so Tir na nOg means Land of the Young, not land of Og, because people never got old there. The story goes that Oisin fell in love with a princess, Niamh, from Tir na nOg, and went back with her, but could never return home because time travels quicker. Eventually Oisin got homesick, and Niamh let him return home, on the condition that he stayed on the horses back and didn't let his feet touch the ground. When Oisin got back he found that hundreds of years had passed on Earth/Ireland, and all his ancestors were dead, and the people were weak. He saw two men struggling with a boulder and tried to help them, but the stirrup broke and he fell off the horse, touching the ground and immediately aging by hundreds of years. The horse galloped off back to Tir na nOg.
For me, if your thinking along the lines of ancient astronaut theory, and take out the exagerration as happens with myths, the story fits in, with a native travelling with the ancient astronauts, seeing as time moves slower for the people inside a vehicle travelling at or closer than the speed of light, and time on earth would have advanced by hundreds of years.

The Tuatha de Danna built them, they were known for building ritual mounds called Sidhe and for their knowledge of the siddhi which they gave to the world. They were also known as the Aos Sidhe.
Atlantis had a Sidhe mound and on top of that mound was the temple, just like in Tara

I think it makes more sense for atlantis to be in the burmuda triangle. Why? Well you figure they are supposed to be an advanced civilization right? Well they had to of worked with geo magnetics. And other nautral power sources of the earth. Probably built pyramids and obelisks. I would say they became advanced enough that they are the cause. For the problems surrounding the burmuda triangle.
They've already discovered a sunken city in that area. Just like in the dragon's triangle off the coast of Japan. Same distutbances. Why? Theirs got to be something to these sunken cities that are supposed to be older then mankind was thought to be.
What is it? Who knows but I'd say whoever built them cities were more advanced then mankind.
P.S. The mythological city of Dwarka has been found aswell off the coast of India.edit on 7-4-2011 by KingLeoric because: (no reason given)

Oliver Cromwell "barbadosed" Irish who refused to clear off their land and allowed other Irish to be kidnaped from the streets of Ireland and transported to Barbados. Those who were barbadosed were sold as slaves or indentured servants, to British planters. They lived in slave conditions and had no control over the number of years they had to serve. The number of Barbadosed Irish in not known and estimates very widely, from a high of 60,000 to a low of 12,000.
