@caitlinrgreen The Irish and Scottish origin myths generally point to Gathelus and Scota coming to the British archipelago by way of Iberia.
@operatoday true! Intriguing, no? cf also Koch and Cunliffe on the origins of Celtic: http://www.oxbowbooks.com/oxbow/celtic-from-the-west.html …
@caitlinrgreen Love it. Wonder if the Celts have any connections with the people of the Solutrean culture? Rather wide time gap, though.
@operatoday ooh, big time difference there, lol---suspect too much, but could be wrong!
@caitlinrgreen Would be interesting if proto-Celts discovered America millennia before Vikings.
@operatoday Well, the link I posted argues that Irish have got there centuries before, fwiw, tho' poss doesn't count ;)
@caitlinrgreen Es interessante?
