    Comparing the similarity of these patterns frm either side
    of the Atlantic begs the question if there could have been contact between Ireland and
    Meso-America such as that suggested by the legend of St Brendan. Could there have been a
    pre-historic  Sea People who once built the megaliths of the Atlantic coast of
    Europe,  displaced by the Indo-European warrior aristocracy, whose final  resort
    was the sea, such as the Irish legends concerning the fate of the Tuatha De Danaans
    attest. 
    With the rise of Bronze Age civilization in the
    Middle-East, the Sea People may have entered the course of history as suppliers of ore
    from America, as culture bearers in the Gulf of Mexico, and as the mysterious
    "pre-human" inhabitants of Ireland, the De Danaans, a race of shining immortals
    who resided in the Blessed Isles in the Remote West, and who on occasion are said to have
    returned to Ireland, to steal away the early heroes to the Land of Summer.
