My search is over, Kevvie, as you well know since you perved my profile. I'm no longer searching, but CM doesn't allow you to change your name. Master knows I'm still on the site and has no problem with that.

It's kind of surprising, we tend to think of bronze age and earlier cultures as provincial, but they really got around, there was a Jewish community in Ireland at the time of Jesus. The whole thing of people staying in one place all the time is actually a more modern phenomena, an economic thing that happened over the last 500 or so years of feudal statism, earlier peoples were a lot more nomadic - the Swiss are like that, they're like a mix of a dozen different nationalities, probably even a few descendents of Hannibal's army. I mean we're an Indo-European culture, The Black Irish are actually the descendents of the survivors of he Spanish Armada, The Spanish are the descendents of the Visigoths, which is where they ended up after sacking Rome, and they trace their migrations back to Iran originally - so are they Irish or Iranian? You see the problem with ethnography there, there is no such thing as a "pure" race, most of out differences are cultural, not genetic. The whole idea of this division between European culture and the rest of the world is a patently political construct, if anything, Europe is the worlds original melting pot, most of our culture is borrowed from cultures from all around he Mediterranean.

I don't think so as the Celts are understood as a distinctive people that came into Europe from Asia afrom around 600 BC. It was expected that the Celts reached Ireland by about 400 - 200 BC but there would be a wealth of Celtic material in the ground if they invaded Ireland on such a scale that they overturned the rule of those long established there, followed by a mass migration of Celtic people to the area. There isn't any archaeological evidence for that at all, and in fact the Romans, who of all the peoples who had literacy knew the Celts best, referred to the Irish as a different people. Indeed there were numerous tribes of Celts but they share many characteristics which are shown in the archaeological and genetic record. quote: It's kind of surprising, we tend to think of bronze age and earlier cultures as provincial, but they really got around, there was a Jewish community in Ireland at the time of Jesus. Indeed there are strong ties between Western Ireland and Iberia during the Neolithic Stone Age. I didn't hear of any Jews in to Ireland before the first millennium but there was an Ancient Greek community in Tallaght (near Dublin). quote: I mean we're an Indo-European culture, The Black Irish are actually the descendents of the survivors of he Spanish Armada, The Spanish are the descendents of the Visigoths, which is where they ended up after sacking Rome, and they trace their migrations back to Iran originally - so are they Irish or Iranian? No disagreement there although one must remember there was a large pre-existing population in Spain that the Visigoths assimilated into. Also the Spanish Armada or Black Irish effect is thought to represent a pre-historic migration particularly from Iberia going back to the Stone Age. There are very dramatic similarities between the cultures on both sides there. quote: The whole idea of this division between European culture and the rest of the world is a patently political construct, if anything, Europe is the worlds original melting pot, most of our culture is borrowed from cultures from all around he Mediterranean. I mean, we didn't invent civilization, technically, it was the Iraqis. I wasn't suggesting the Europeans invented culture. Far from it. Indeed the Sumerians developed the first proper civilisation in Mesopotamia (before Egypt) although they are likely to have significant differences to the modern Iraqi's.

Be that as it may, quite a few modern Irish think of themselves as Celts, and in my book, that makes them Celts - though in fact, Celtic is a distinct culture that had fairly distinct views on marriage etc., that are in many ways more akin to modern culture than Roman Judeo-Christian traditions - I think Celtic culture influences this culture deeply in ways that are at least the equivilent of Judeo Christian culture, whose primary advantage has been that it's a legalistic rather than a Bardic tradition, formal vs. informal. Ireland is somewhat isolated geographically, which is going to lead to significant differences in culture regardless, but I agree in substance with what you're saying, yes, there were already people in Spain, and in every case it's a case of new waves of migration mixing and clashing with previous waves of migration. Right now in America, there's a conflict between the Meso-Iberian and English/German waves of immigration and culture, just as further North, there is still friction between the descendents of French and English settlers. I'm not sure there is a shelf life for a culture - there appears to be no shelf life for the oral traditions that perpetuate cultural behavior, as opposed to the official script. Both tend to evolve, but oral and social tradition is I think, if anything, more resistant to change than it's abstract, literary/legalistic counterpart.

xssve -> RE: Sexy Irish Women (10/14/2011 9:06:07 AM)
i.e, when the Irish emigrated to this country, they were initially treated no better than the Native Americans or Blacks, and consequently, there is a fairly long tradtition of intermarriage between these peoples - I know native Spanish speakers with Red hair and freckles, I know a guy that is almost full blooded Native American (legally, he is) who would blend right in on the streets of Dublin. There are actually a lot of similarities between Celtic and Native American culture, they are both essentially tribal, and neither tradition tends to categorize women as chattel property for the most part, for example, a significant departure from Roman/Judeo-Christian tradition (the rib thing). Even Athabascan art is similar to Celtic art in many respects, I suspect people have been going back and forth a lot longer than we might imagine.

xssve -> RE: Sexy Irish Women (10/14/2011 9:12:45 AM)
In anthropological terms I'd describe Roman/Judeo-Christian culture as centripetal statism vs. the acentric tribalism of Celtic and Native American cultures.

I don't think it would be right to say that they are Celtic because they think they are although I think that cultures their own identity. For a few centuries people in the know assumed the Irish were Celtic because there are a few cultural markers such as the names of a few rivers being similar to Celtic river goddesses but they assumed Ireland had seen a mass influx of Celts, which hasn't been supported in the intervening years when much of the country has been dug up for development. I acknowledge the Irish were influenced by Celtic culture which was extremely prevalent in the continent but its thought that the Celtic traditions the Irish borrowed from were not authentically Celtic. The Irish were relatively unique culturally. During the early Christian era, they made Christianity uniquely their own, and exported it. Thats not to say they were in some way superior or particularly insular as they were clearly influenced by foreign cultures but geographical distance and the lack of any influx before the Norman-British caused difference. Its said the Normans became even more Irish than the Irish themselves, and it seems ancient Gaelic culture essentially survived until the Cromwellian invasions of the mid 1600's. You might like to read this, which quotes the head of the Archaeology Dept at UCD where I studied and heard the ideas that there was no real Celtic presence in Ireland: http://www.blackphoebe.com/msjen/2006/08/from-the-irish-times.html - the fact that Gaelic is seen as a particularly ancient relative of other Celtic languages is a mystery that may never be solved but it suggests some extremely ancient cultural linkage that may go back as far as the middle stone age. Fanciful perhaps but its difficult to explain otherwise. quote: ORIGINAL: xssve i.e, when the Irish emigrated to this country, they were initially treated no better than the Native Americans or Blacks, and consequently, there is a fairly long tradtition of intermarriage between these peoples - I know native Spanish speakers with Red hair and freckles, I know a guy that is almost full blooded Native American (legally, he is) who would blend right in on the streets of Dublin.

Even Athabascan art is similar to Celtic art in many respects, I suspect people have been going back and forth a lot longer than we might imagine. Indeed the Irish were treated badly in the US initially, presumably due to the strong protestant element. Its surprising how often intermarriage with the native people is mentioned. If you're suggesting that there was travel between Ireland/Europe and America, then there is evidence that it was possible. St Brendan is believed to have reached America in the 8th Century and there may have been voyages before that. The old boating technology has been shown to make such a journey possible, and later the Vikings made contact too.
