The emythology of the name is some what confusing for it is also said that the Welsh name for Excalibur was Caladvwlch, equating linguistically with Irish Caladbolg, the name of a sword borne by heroes in Irish legend, derived from CALAD (hard) and BOLG (lightning). It goes with a story in which the sword is struck by lighting just as the (elven) smith takes it out of the water after its final heating. Caladbolg is also known as the sword of the Welsh legend Cu Chullain (see 'Morrigan' and 'Celtic literature' in the celtic section). Caliburn is also supposed to be the old Welsh name for the sword, which was later transformed to 'Excalibur' by French poets like Chretien de Troyes. It is supposed to mean 'Cuts steal'.

ha ha! Knowing part of my wifes family is part irish and both her and them are completely and utterly nuts I also have trouble believing that the irish are descended from an advanced civilisation, unless they were created by an advanced civilisation as part of some sort of hard fighting/hard drinking/labour force. Thats more believable.
I do respect the OP though its a fascinating theory.
They brought the spear of Lugh which would be later be better known as the spear of destiny.
They brought the cauldron of Dagda which would later be known as the holy grail.

That's easily the most ignorant and offensive post I've read all day.
A labor force? Reducing any nation to such is no better than mindset of the globalists and eugenicists.
Besides, you clearly know nothing of our rich culture and sacred ancient history. If you did, you won't have posted such an uninformed response. Look beyond stereotyping. Furthermore, educate yourself.
- Who founded modern day chemistry? An Irish man.
- Who invented color photography? An Irish man.
- Who established the first transatlantic calls? An Irish man.
- Who cured leprosy? An Irish man.
- Who invented the modern tractor? An Irish man.
- Who launched the first submarine? An Irish man.
- Who invented the armored tank? An Irish man.
- Who invented the guided missile? An Irish man.
- Who invented the ejector seat? An Irish man.
- Who invented the apparatus for whiskey distillation? An Irish man.
Do you not read? Do you not know of George Bernard Shaw, W.B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde or James Joyce?
Pure and utter unforgivable ignorance on your part.
That being said, our true merit is to be found in our ancient history to which the OP has essentially alluded.

When Arthur C Clarke was interviewed by the Guardian in 2004 he was asked what he thought was the biggest mystery that he had encountered. He replied: "The oddest thing is these vitrified forts in Scotland. I just thought, how the hell? After all, lasers were not common in the Stone Age." There are around 100 vitrified forts around the world, with over half in Scotland. They were built on strategic locations, and the stones were heated to such high temperatures that they fused together. When Clarke’s team tried to recreate the vitrification process they concluded that the amount of heat needed to vitrify rocks was equivalent to an atomic bomb. The ancient Indian epic, The Mahabharata, gives very precise details of "flying machines" that were used by the Indians thousands of years ago. They travelled great distances, and tellingly, these flying machines were said to possess incredibly powerful firearms. The epic explains a hideous war that took place between the Indians and the Atlanteans, possessors of flying machines. They both used weapons of destruction, The Mahabharata notes: "[the weapon was] a single projectile charged with all the power of the universe. An iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death." In other words, they had firearms with the power of an atomic bomb. Enough to vitrify stones. Is it possibly that the vitrified forts of Scotland are the remnants of some cataclysmic war between the Indians and the Atlanteans, a war that wiped out all traces except for the remains of the forts?
