And then when it came time to fight the Brits and get Ireland back, like Man Con's relatives, they also rewrote our mythology, but made it about fighting and masculinity.
So we've lost, we have our myths, but we don't know if they're true or not.
And what we're trying to get back to is to understand, like we've got fucking huge stories, like the Tán Bó Cúirne, which is thousands and thousands and thousands of pages long.
And people told this story by using the landscape.
Like, I went to the site of where the taun happens, and it's on one of these big hills.
It's called Rathcron up in Roscommon.
And the dude was there, and he said, this is how they told the taun.
So you stand on this hill, and then you start at that mountain and that river, and it takes a full day, but...
the Druids or the Fila or whatever we called them, they had the skill to remember this giant story just by reading the landscape.

But people would literally ring me up on the phone and ask for facts.
