>>19694460>I'm referring to the general trend of these kinds of circumstantial connections that can't really be verified well except that there were some trade links.>According to some research that was later deboonked without really addressing it Irish has linguistic features only found in Semitic languages.>The traditional music sounds North African.>The mainstream acknowledges that the runes and stories of a Hercules equivalent came from North Africa in the bronze age.>Myths that persist tend to have something behind them. The myth about Scota you referenced persisted for so long that the "coronation stone", supposedly brought from North Africa by Scota is still part of the traditions of the monarchy.>You might say dating the rock disproves the myth but the dating matches precisely with an event where the original stone was hidden and then suddenly popped up somewhere else. The hidden, original one is still hidden in a Scottish marsh somewhere.>Akhenaten adopted monotheism from Scythian influence. He was trying to consolidate Egyptian power over the trade colonies through a united religion and royal line by marrying his daughter to a Scythian king.>When he was overthrown his daughter with her Scythian husband and their royal court travelled west to Spain and then Ireland, securing tin for any future warfare by their dynasty.Checked and interesting theory, I've heard several of the various constitute parts of it here and there but never all strung together quite like that. Could be some truth to it. I dunno. One of the hard pills to swallow is that the whole truth on Phoenicia (their "empire") and Egypt before it is essentially lost to history, you can only pick at the edges of the imprint they left behind and hypothesize on a narrative that fits the loose ends together.
