World's End: The True Prehistory of Ireland
The true prehistory of Ireland has never been written. This book is an attempt to right that wrong.
At the heart of Irish history, a huge chasm gapes. What the archaeologists tell us about the early history of Ireland bears little resemblance to the traditional stories that have been handed down from generation to generation. Our native lore, we are assured, is no more than a collection of tall tales that must be cast aside to make way for a new story―a story based on the hard-nosed sciences of archaeology, radiocarbon dating and genetics.
In this book, the author takes us on an exciting journey into the past in search of the true prehistory of this little island at the World's end. The result is an entirely new way of looking at early Irish history and mythology, one which promises to close up the gaping chasm and finally bring science into harmony with tradition.
