Author's Series Synopsis This series of books are written, for a wide audience, in a readable story format. They introduce Cessair the original settler who worked with nature, Partholon an exploiting businessman, Phoenician sea traders, Fomorian sea pirates, The FirBolg or Bag Men, The Tuathe de Danan the Druids or magic people, the Milesians the descendants of Scotia the daughter of an Egyptian Pharoah, plus many others. I have drawn evidence from ancient texts and associated commentaries. I have added the latest scientific findings and analysis to construct a possible and plausible history that is free of political bias. Ireland's popular history, has for many centuries, been written by the successive conquering invaders. It has been written to glorify and to justify the reasons as to why the island was invaded by those invaders rather than face many uncomfortable truths. Truths such as the enforced annulment of equal status and power of women, that had been enshrined in Irish Brehon law from the earliest of times. The series starts with Cessair a Neolithic girl living an idyllic life before the flooding of a huge area of highly fertile land 7600 years ago; this area is now known as 'The Black Sea.' It goes on to describe how the farming and metalworking Irish stood well apart from the rest of the hunter gathers in Northern Europe and how instead they had close ties with the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt via the then very active sea routes. The series covers the collapse of Mediterranean civilisation at the end of the Bronze Age. Later volumes show how Ireland, 'The Land of Saints and Scholars,' led the islands identified by Ptolemy as 'The Britons,' to become the first area in the world to declare itself as Christian, and that was in AD 250 well before Rome, and centuries before St Patrick arrived.
