Brit-Am Note: It seems that Scandinavian and Irish History has a 500 or more year surplus amount of time stuck into it. This causes events to be dated centur\ies earlier than they actually took place and prevents related eventys being associated with the each other. Until we, and/or other people, manage to sort it out in a reasonable fashion we have to make do with bits and pieces that should go together being reported of separately and in the wrong time frame.

1. Was Prayer to the Ancient Solar Gods enough to Change the Renowned Irish Weather? [Baal Worship among the Celts]

Belenus/Bel is a sun god often associated with the Baal of the Fertile Crescent (the region in the Middle East which curves from the Persian Gulf, through modern-day southern Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and northern Egypt) and Anatolia. In Margaret Anne Cusack�s examination of sun worship in An Illustrated History of Ireland , she too connects the name Bel, still present today in the Celtic Beltane, to a Phoenician origin.
In Meath, a hotbed of prehistoric ritual, and not far from the famous Royal Hill of Tara are ancient sites of Hill of Uisneach, and Tlachtga (Hill of Ward).
The Hill of Uisneach is believed in legend to be the site of the first great Beltane fire to be lit in all of Ireland. Beltane, (held commonly on May 1, halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice), is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals.
World Heritage Ireland writes: To usher in the first dawn of summer in May, the Uisneach hearth burned biggest and brightest of all; visible to over a quarter of Ireland. Hearths were extinguished in every Irish home and fireplace in the country, in anticipation of a new flame from Uisneach�s Bealtaine fire. It must have been an extraordinary sight, with the country plunged into utter darkness ahead of this sacred festival. Using the flame from Uisneach, fires were then ignited on the other sacred hills of Ireland. When lit, they created a unique �fire eye� over the island, ushering in an entire summer of sunshine.

Well, research shows Swedes and Norwegians have, unlike the rest of Europe, a large share of their genes from the Hunnic invaders of the early middle ages.
The evidence is supported both by the archeology and DNA-studies of the current population of southern Scandinavia.
Also, studies by Swedish Professor �ke Daun show that foreigners perceive Swedes as being cold heartless people with a sluggish mind.
These are traits that can be attributed to their Attila-genes.
n the period of the V�lkerwanderungseveral tribes emigrated from southern Scandinavia, due to factors like overpopulation and worsening of the climate.
Groups like the Goths, Vandals, Angles, Saxons, Langobards, Heruli, and Burgunds migrated southwards.
Following the downfall of the Western Roman Empire, these tribes laid the foundations for several new kingdoms in Europe.
However, another group joined in on the V�lkerwanderung, namely the Huns.
A nomadic people from beyond the Volga, they contributed to the downfall of the West Roman Empire, and both fought and allied themselves with the Scandinavian tribes.
They were led by their ruler Attila, and the tribe gave its name to present-day Hungary.
DNA-studies - The Mysterious Haplogroup Q
By investigating a man's Y-chromosome one can determine which haplogroup he belongs to.
The markers one looks at (denoted with a letter) tells us which 'tribe' your fathers fathers father's father came from.
As previously explored in the article ''Who Are We?' Uncovering the Mystery of the Origin of Europeans,' I identified the four haplogroups I1, I2a (the original Mesolothic Europeans), R1a, and R1b (the Indo-European invaders) as the true European groups.
Yet, there are other haplogroups present in Europe, such as the Asian N1c1, which is dominant in Finland, and is also found in the Baltics and northern Scandinavia.
This marker is easy to explain, as it goes hand in hand with the Uralic languages of the Finns, Estonians, and Samis.
The presence of haplogroup Q in Scandinavia, on the other hand, has been a mystery to scientists.
On a world basis, this is the dominant haplogroup among North- and South-American Indians.
The red stars on the map show where there is a large presence (more than four percent) of this haplogroup in Europe.
When viewing the map, one question naturally springs to mind: Why is there such a heavy presence of this group in southern Scandinavia (and not in Germany, Britain, France, and other countries)?
Several theories emerged.
One is that it is from the Sami people coming from the north, however this is easy to dismiss, as haplogroup Q has no correlation with the presence of the Sami/Finn haplogroup N1c1.
A more original theory was that it came to the shores of Norway through Eskimos crossing the North Sea in kayaks.
This was clearly not a reasonable explanation, as the chance of enough Eskimos surviving such a trip in order to make a significant impact on the Scandinavian gene pool is very slim.
However, one theory seems highly plausible.
Haplogroup Q came with the Hunnic invaders from the East. This makes sense with the presence
on the steppes (the Huns were a horse-steppe people) as well as in Hungary (where most Huns settled after all the fighting) and in some parts of Slovakia (close to Hungary).
So, how did they come to Scandinavia?
Well, it is well known that the Huns often allied themselves with the previously described Scandinavian tribes.
The way this was done was that the Huns established themselves as the elite, while the Scandinavians were soldiers.
A large group of Huns could very well be amongst the Goths and/or Heruli going back to Scandinavia at the end of the Migration Period.
The same explanation can be attributed to the red star marked in southwest France, where a portion of the Huns probably settled together with the Burgunds (as this is also the territory of the first Burgund kingdom).
In present day Scandinavia, more than four percent of men in southeast Sweden and large parts of eastern Norway carry the Hunnic genetic marker, in the rest of southern Sweden and Norway the percentage stands at between three and four percent.
This can be considered a significant share of the population, especially when juxtaposed with other parts of Europe.
According to Professor of Archeology at the University of Oslo, Lotte Hedeager, the old Norwegian (and also Swedish) ruling class consisted of Huns.
She argues that a new and strong social order was established with the arrival of the Huns, something that enabled them to resist the victorious Christian countries to the south.
Hedeager goes even further, stating that Attila could very well have been the same person as the Viking god Odin, hijacking the position of the already established Woden.
The writings of the Icelandic historian Snorri Sturluson partly support this theory, as he wrote that the Gods (who were called Aesir) came from the area around the Don river in Russia.
This link has previously been explored by the famous Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, with his archeological expedition to Azov in Russia.
Also, many of the names given in the Nordic sagas are parallel to the names of Hunnic kings, like Halfdan (Huldin), Roar (Ruga), Ottar (Ottar), and Adils (Attila).
Conclusion
It may be a surprise to many, but it seems like southern Scandinavia has a larger presence of non-European genes than many other parts of Europe.
Both DNA- and archeological evidence point to this, more spesific; the presence of haplogroup Q as well as a change in burial traditions in Sweden and Norway.
Also, Atle, which is derived from Attila, is a common name in present day Scandinavia.
Following this, our blonde hair blue eyes poster boy (unable to load on this comment) may not be as European as one might expect.
Behind those innocent eyes hides the ruthlessness of the Hunnic invaders, who, under their leader Attila, contributed to the end of classical antiquity and led Europe into the dark ages.
3. Was there a Viking Age in Norway - 2000 years before the Vikings?
It may be that people from the North went to the Mediterranean with "Viking ships" as early as 3000 years ago.

4. Danish Bronze Age glass beads traced to Egypt

Analyses of glass beads found in Denmark give us new knowledge of Bronze Age trade routes.
Jeanette Varberg, Aarhus University
Flemming Kaul, National Museum of Denmark
An international collaboration between Moesgaard Museum in Aarhus, the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, and Institut de Recherche sur les Arch�omat�riaux (IRAMAT) at Orl�ans, France, has resulted in a sensational discovery about the trade routes between Denmark and the ancient civilisations in Egypt and Mesopotamia in the Bronze Age 3,400 years ago. The discovery also gives us new knowledge about the sun cult in the Nordic Bronze Age.
Archeologists Jeanette Varberg from Moesgaard Museum and Flemming Kaul from the National Museum, and Bernard Gratuze, director of IRAMAT, analysed the composition of some blue glass beads found on buried Bronze Age women in Denmark.
The analyses revealed that the glass originate from the same glass workshops in Egypt that supplied the glass that the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun took with him to his grave in 1323 BC.
Globalisation in the Bronze Age
Twenty-three glass beads from Denmark were analysed using plasma-spectrometry. Without destroying the fragile beads, this technique makes it possible to compare the chemical composition of trace elements in the beads with reference material from Amarna in Egypt and Nippur in Mesopotamia, about 50 km south east of Baghdad in Iraq. The comparison showed that the chemical composition of the two sets of trace elements match.
The researchers' first object for comparison was a bead from a wealthy woman's grave at �lby, about 40 km south of Copenhagen. The woman had been buried in a more extravagant fashion, lying in a hollowed-out oak trunk and wearing a beautiful belt disc, a smart string skirt with tinkling, shining small bronzes tubes, and an overarm bracelet made of amber beads, and a single blue glass bead.
The glass bead turned out to be Egyptian. This is the first time that typical Egyptian cobalt glass has been discovered outside the Mediterranean area.
The archaeologists can now also substantiate that there is a connection between the amber beads and the glass beads.
It has been known for a long time that amber was exported in the Bronze Age from Nordic latitudes and southwards. Tutankhamun and other Egyptian pharaohs had large amber chains in boxes in their burial chambers.
Now the researchers are linking amber and glass together in an unexpected way.
Nordic and Egyptian sun cults traded goods
One property that both glass and amber have is that sunlight penetrates their surface.
It appears that glass and amber beads have been found together on sites from the Middle East, Turkey, Greece, Italy, and Germany to the Nordic latitudes.
The archaeologists believe this could be proof of a link between the Egyptian sun cult and the Nordic sun cult.
When a Danish woman in the Bronze Age took a piece of jewellery made of amber and blue glass with her to the grave, it constituted a prayer to the sun to ensure that she would be re-united with it and share her fate with the sun's on its eternal journey.
The old amber route to the countries in the Mediterranean thus now has a counterpart: the glass route to the North.
So far, the researchers have shown that there was a trade connection to Egypt and Mesopotamia in the years 1400-1100 BC. Finding out whether the route continued in the later Bronze Age is a future task for the Danish-French research team.

5. Hebrew Practices among the Flemish?
Mythology in the Low Countries
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythology_in_the_Low_Countries
The Dutch-speaking Flemish Community constitutes about 60 %. The Bishop of Utrecht, Arnold-2, 1372-1375, noted that the Flemish people still believed in wearing amulets and charms ("phylacteries"); he defined them as amulets worn on the head or arms, sometimes made out of books or scripture. This is in fact an old Hebrew practice (Exodus 13:9, 16, Deuteronomy 6:80, cf. �you shall tie them for a sign upon your arm, and they shall be as totafot [leather boxes with parchment scrolls inside them] of between your eyes�(Deuteronomy 11:18).
