EARLY
MIGRATIONS TO IRELAND [Contacts] ----Please CLICK on desired underlined categories [to search for Subject Matter, depress Ctrl/F ]: In a book published in
Ireland called "Atlantean, Ireland's North African
and Maritime Heritage " (Quartet Books, New York, 1986), the author Bob Quinn
tells of traditions in Libya, which relate that the Gnostic missionaries came
from Libya. The population there all had Rh-positive blood types and arrived between
600 and 640 AD. They are the ones who invented the Irish Ogam script.
The earliest human evidence in Ireland is mentioned by Dr. Michael
J. O'Kelly in "Early Ireland" on pages 9 and 10 (Univ.
of Cambridge Press 1989). Discussing the period 7,600 bce., he writes:
"It is known that man was in Ireland at this time." Edo Nyland theorizes that these were the
Rh-negative. Berber/Basque sailors trading along the west coast of Ireland.
However, when we follow the Rh-negative trail northward into the Arctic we
find in Finnmark
(=Arctic Norway) massive evidence of human hunting activity. This activity was dated
to about 5,000 bce. by archaeologist Anders Nummedal, which figure was
revised much later to just under 8,000 bce. when more accurate testing became
possible. Nummedal immediately noticed the resemblance of the rock carvings
with those in the Basque country. At the time, there was apparently a busy
trade in reindeer hides from the Arctic to be used as sails in the
Mediterranean region. The ships would arrive with salt for hide preservation,
olive oil, dates etc. As the North Sea was still dry land, the trade was
forced to go around "the outside," hence all the little settlements
on the west coast of Ireland. .
Later around 640 AD. the Rh-negative tribes of Ireland probably did
not allow their women to mix with Rh-positive Christians from Libya because
of the threat of deformed children. This could the reason why the Berbers
populated all the western islands of Europe, to get a good distance between
their women and the positive tribes. Edo Nyland has two chapters on the
subject in his book Odysseus & The Sea Peoples, 2002 (pages 247-264). The
fact that the Berbers in Morocco still have 30-40% of their members with
Rh-negative blood proves that this separation was taken seriously and very
effective. If not, sickness and death
might follow for both mother and child. |
