![]() Tuatha de Dannan: Riders of the Sidhe by John Duncan. These were a God-like people who were said to have arrived in Ireland in mysterious ships and had magical powers. In legend it is the place where the Tuatha De Danann reigned. It is surrounded by many other Neolithic earthworks and tombs and although commonly associated with the Celts, the site pre-dates their arrival in Ireland by thousands of years. The Hill of Tara is one of Ireland’s most ancient sacred sites. Lia Fáil, also known as the Coronation Stone or Stone of Destiny, was an important ritual component in the coronation of ancient High Kings of Ireland. Recent discoveries in DNA research have added to already verified archaeological finds to present a scenario that is now more difficult to dismiss. When ancient Egypt and Ireland are spoken about in the same breath it usually results in the rolling of eyes, polite exits and the sound of murmurs citing pseudo-history and new age babble.
