The Giant Race of the Formorians

Home  The Formorians were a race of giants who according to folklore of Ireland
frequented river banks lakes and the sea shore. According to
http://www.rootsweb.com/~irluie2/history/oldulster.htm on page 3 of 4 they
supposedly came in 6000 BC but for our purposes here we have to remember to
bring the date forward to 2520 AM or 1484 BC in historic times not long
after the exodus from Egypt of the Israelites. They came to Ireland at the
same time as Parthelon's Neolithic colony and both did battle together.
Their stronghold was on Tory Island where a lot of Mesolithic flint tools
have been found and so are therefore associated with the Mesolithic
industry. The author is of the view that they were advanced Neanderthals of
Hermitic stock and so were therefore primarily hunter gatherers who in the
winter when they were hard pressed raided the farmsteads of the
agriculturalists. Peter Beresford Ellis's dictionary of Celtic mythology
has them arrive at the same time as Partholan and his Neolithic colony on
page 100 of his work. This in all probability was at or near the end of the
ice age and they and the Parthelonian Neolithic industry people hunted the
Aurochs, a giant oxen or buffalo, and possibly even the mammoth and
wooly rhinoceros.

 In all probability the ice age lasted altogether
 1000 years. The Mesolithic industry people it will be noted here
persisted right into and up until the end of the bronze age which started
in Britain under Brutus in 1104 BC and on Ireland in 1145 BC under Nemed
who led the Nemedians into Ireland in annomundi 2859 and were credited with
building certain types of defenses and a particular method of clearing the
land for cultivation. The later Mesolithic industry people in all
probability invaded Ireland from mainland Britain who were ultimately the
displaced natives of Britain and, this author proposes, the last
Neanderthals in Europe; although be it advanced Neanderthals who lived
mainly by fishing hunting and food gathering. They were eventually driven
out of Ireland in 701 BC or here for our purposes annomundi 3303; by the
Tuatha de Dannans and that is the last we hear of them; although it is
interesting to note in this respect that on the river Lena in Russia from
about or between 687 and 1000 BC there were people living simultaneously in Bronze time Neolithic time Paleolithic time and Mesolithic time,  until in 687 BC Siberia and parts of Russia  suddenly became colder and were plunged into the climate we see today. This could be when the mammoths died out, having quite possible survived until now.

Velekovskey has proposed that the ice age on his model of things started about 3500 years ago which is not far off for my timeline for Britain and Ireland. It is
important to bear in mind here in this respect that Gunnar Heinsohn's time
line for Europe is : 2000 BC the homo erectus people arrive ; 1500 BC
Neanderthal ; 1400 BC ; Cro-Magnon; The Bronze age 900 BC and finally the
iron age in 600 BC on his chronology which is not that far out from the
views of this author who dates it at 1484 BC: All the Paleolithic/meso/Neolithic industries arrive at the same time in 1484 BC and 2520 annomundi. Nemed ; the bronze industry on Ireland; Brutus 1104 BC on Britain and in 504 BC the pre-Roman iron age with the Latene Celts arriving in 220 BC with iron (B) and in 100 BC the Picts arrive in Scotland. The author suggests that some of the Mesolithic attempts at writing have some bearing on the Phoenician script. It is also important to remember that the Milisians were in Spain or Melitus in about 800 BC and other parts of Europe
before they finally reached Briton and Ireland in 504 BC. Author John HXF.

Correspondence on the Formorians.

You are right Dan about the formores having been driven out of britain by
Brutus but there is also a battle that Partholan fought with them that Bill
Cooper dosent mention but however Mike Gascoigne mentions it in his
"Forgotten History of the Western People" and so does Charles s Kimball in
his history of Europe. I have found by the way that the formorians were
associated with the mesolithic industry on Tory Island and must have been
advanced Neanderthals as Mr Kimball is of this oppinion and indeed so am I .

What skeletal evidence is claimed by Mr. Kimball that would be convincing
that these people were Neanderthals?  What is Jack Cuzco's opinion as to the
origin of Neanderthals?  These are very important questions.  I have looked
quite extensively in the book that I have Origin of Nations and the author
does not indicate any connection between ancient British and Hamitic race. 
Perhaps this is an oversight on his part as he does not mention this people
group or the Picts.  When you get the book I would ignore the last chapter
or two about the connection between the northern Europeans and the
Israelites.  He does not make a very convincing argument that the Israelites
(10 tribes) were the same thing as Sythians.

Dan we did discuss the probability that the formores could have been Neanderthals although be it advanced ones with a "mesolithic industry " on Tory Island (perhaps as well as Britain). If you have a look at the "Celtic Dictionary of British mythology"  I believe it's on page 100 middle paragraph; it says that the Formorians arrived in Ireland at the same time as Partholan. I don't know if you have any records of what industries Brutus had but for my money I've put Bronze on the table and I associate Partholan with Copper and stone implements as well as maybe Leg irons&c for horses so I went with the best information available on Mr. Kimball's recommendation

PICTS AND FORMORIANS?

JHF
Hi Dan ; in the book "In search of the origin of Nations" Craig White reckons that the picts that is to say the original ones went to America and Canada. What do you think?

DJ
Totem poles may be traced back to Japan and are more common on the Pacific side of the states as a result.  Did you have them in Scotland also?
 
Mike seems to think Craig has some good arguments for Canaanite origins for some of the "New World" tribes.  I have found it interesting to note that Marco Polo was told that Sythians and Tarters lived on the other side of the Bering Straight.  This is probably the best clue that I have found as to the origins of the majority of those in the "New World".
 
Now weren't the Formorians pirates or live by pirating?  Many, if not most of the early pirates had connections with the New World.  Some think that the Formorians when driven from England and Ireland actually settled in the New World.  I am not sure of this.

 

I am not sure how you break this up into different "industries". There may have been a metal of choice or metals for which they had technology which became prominent in a cultural group but everyone must have traded and acquired a fair amount of metals from other cultures.  At any one time there would have existed stone age cultures whose iron implements are now rusted to the point of  non-existence and whose bronze and copper implements are just plain ignored by mainstream archeologists or are classified as bronze age, even though the culture did not have the technology but just traded for it.

Dan isn't it interesting that as you say the formores lived by "pirating". Isn't this exactly what the neanderthals ***THAT IS AN ASSUMPTION THAT YOU CAN NOT BACK UP--YES THERE WERE DECULTURED PEOPLE BUT I AM NOT SURE THAT NEANDERTHAL WERE NEARLY AS DECULTURED AS THEY ARE ASSUMED TO BE AND THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE THE LINK--WE STILL NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHO THEY WERE AND THE WORK DONE BY JACK CUZZO IS THE BEST SO FAR AND I DO NOT THINK YOU CAN PROGRESS MUCH BEYOND WHAT HE HAS DONE WITHOUT BECOME AS KNOWLEDGEABLE AS HIM***did as mentioned in the book of Job; and indeed is it not possible that the mesolithic hunter gatherers (which according to the page I have here) raided the farmsteads of the agriculturalists and that is indeed what Donald A Mckenzie says of them in his book "Ancient man in Britain". ***HERE IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEE THAT THE PICS OR FORMORIANS WERE PROBABLY COEXISTING AND ONE RAIDED THE OTHER--IF ONE DOES GOOD HOMEWORK AND IS UP ON BILL COOPER'S WORK YOU CAN GET A GOOD IDEA WHO THESE PEOPLE WERE--EXACTLY AS YOU HAVE STATED BELOW***This is exactly what the formorians were; they were mesolithic industry people living alongside Partholan and arriving in Ireland and for that matter Britain at the same time as Partholancontemporary with the neolithic/chalcolithic industries (Please note not ages--VERY GOOD!). Peter Beresford Ellis in his book "Dictionary of Celtic Mythology" (Page 100 paragragh 5) has them arrive in Ireland at the same time as Partholan. Given the chronology of Ancient Europe by Prof. Gunnar Heinsohn of Neanderthal man arriving in Europe in 1500 BC this can be no mere coincidence. Because my research reveals about the same date. That is cave men in historic times in annomundi 2520 and 1484 BC ***i AM STILL NOT SURE WHAT YOU HAVE TO BASE THESE DATES ON--WHY NOT A DATE RANGE INSTEAD OF EXACT DATES.  PEOPLE IN THE CREATIONIST COMMUNITY ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY UNLESS YOU HAVE AMPLE EVIDENCE OF THAT EXACT DATE***which is the date for the arrival in Ireland of Partholan***YES THAT CAN BE BACKED UP BY BILL'S EXCELLENT WORK***. If Dan you get a minute I'd like you to turn to the book by Beresford Ellis and go to page 100 paragragh 5***I DO NOT HAVE A COPY***. Also I'd like you to turn to this interesting link: http://www.rootsweb.com/~irluie2/history/oldulster.htm and according to this evidence also backs up in my view the evidence given by Mr Charles S Kimball. Remember that the date of 6000 BC tha they give is unacceptable and I reject it but the date is therefore brought forward to 1484 BC. Please have a look at this page (3 of 4) paragraphs 2; 5 and 6 and I think you will agree with me on this score but then again you might not. ***YOU ARE PROBABLY RIGHT***You talk about the Formores living by pirating and when they were thrown out of Britain by Brutus you talk about them going to Canada AND  America. Maybe they did and what a good deduction this is for they could have become some of the red indian tribes with totem poles that we were discussing but they also went to Ireland again after being thrown out of Britain by Brutus***DIDN'T THEY INVADE WHEN THE IRISH WERE WEAK AS A RESULT OF A PLAGUE BUT THEY REPEALED THE INVASION.  THAT IS WHY BILLS SOURCE BOOK IS CALLED "BOOK OF INVASIONS-CHRONICLING ALL THE INVASIONS OF IRELAND". You will find that the mesolithic ie the formorians lived along river banks according to Irish folklore and lakes. Partholan drove the formores back to Tory Island where some of their mesolithic flint implements have been found. I think that this proves conclusively that the formores were hunter gatherers and cavemen (***IT WAS UNCOMMON FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE EXCLUSIVELY AS CAVEMEN UNLESS THEY WERE VERY DECULTURED---MOST OF THE EVIDENCE WE HAVE SHOWS THEM LIVING IN CAVES MORE AS TEMPORARY SHELTERS FOR RECENT IMMIGRANTS OR HUNTING PARTIES AND AT TIMES WINTER HABITATION OR SPIRITUAL RETREAT CENTERS.  MY ANCESTORS USED CAVES DURING THE WINTER AND AS A MEETING AREA AND THEY ARE STILL USED TODAY FOR THAT REASON***interacting in historical times with the civilized world and living contemporaneously with the metal working tribes of Britain and I would maintain that this is a fairly safe and sound deduction and inference. Please read this page Dan as the paper is only here in this connection used for research purposes only. John.  I READ IT.

  2. For my money the Formorians were a mesolithic people of North African stock as is evidenced by their tools from Tory Island and could also have been the last Neanderthals in Europe which in many cases seems to fit their description or at least a related one. The Neanderthals were also Cainanites.
  3. John Hext-Fremlin replied:
     

    For my money the Formorians were in all probability the Last Neanderthals in Europe and settled Ireland according to the Dictionary of Celtic Mythology by Peter Beresford Ellis and practised the Mesolithic industry. I sugest that all in all they settled both Britain and Ireland arround year of the world annomundi 2520 and 1484 BC contemporary with Partholan mysources for this information are from the “Dictionary of Celtic Mythology page 100 paragragh Five whaere the formors and Partholan arrive in Ireland at the same time at the end of the Ice Age. Partholan’s people were a neolithic/chalcolithic industry people and remains of their flint tools &c have been found in Burial Mounds and the typical mesolithic flintimplements of the formors have been found on Tory Island and allong lakes and rivers. You will see this when you read the old ulster document from Roots Web.

    I further agree that there is the possible likelihood that the Formors could have been of carthaginian or Phonician origin; but it could also well be that they were of Azilian origin again from Spain or Africa. John

    The Mesolithic Industry People persisted right into the archaeological Bronze Age in Britain and on Ireland so therefore what’s good for Ireland is also good for Britain being geographically near each other. Nemed came to Ireland in year of the world annomundi 2859 or 1145 BC and in between this date and 701 or for our purposes here annomundi 3303 The Formores were displaced by Brutus when helanded in Britain in am 2900 or 1104 BC and as already mentioned could have been the last neanderthals in Europe. Nemed started the early Bronze culture on Ireland and Brutus Compendium of World History volume one chapter 18; started the early Bronze culture on Britain . In 701 BC the tuatha de dannan took Ireland and finally routed the Formores. And in annomundi 3500 or 504 BCwe come to the early Iron culture although stone tools were still being used by the peasantry &c with iron B in Britain and Ireland from 220 BC. These were the Latene Celts. The Picts did’nt arrive in Scotland untill anomundi 3904 or 100 BC with the Roman invasion of Britain in 55 and 54 BC by Julius Caesar and finaly conquered in AD 43. One thing is for sure and they never defeated the Picts. I have two Links pages that I would like to draw attention to the reader. One is from Mr Charles S Kimball’s website and so is the second one with regard to Neanderthal in Historic Times the first one being on page 11 of 20 Bottom Paragraph which is Professor Gunnar Heinsohn’s time line for Ancient Europe at The Genesis Chronicles: A Proposed History Of The Morning Of The World and the second one is a reference to the Neanderthal/Formorian link on page 36 of 36 at A History of Europe top paragragh.

    The so-called scientific dating of Newgrange is quite francly a nonsense and a rather absurd one. Are then the scientists trying to say that they knowbetter than the people who once lived in Ireland or for that matter Britain? The Annals of the Four masters state that when Partholan arrived in Ireland annomundi 2520 and 1484 BC; just ten years later the formors arrived and fought the Battle of Mag Ithe with Partholan and this can be found in annal M2530 which is annomundi 2530 and 1474 BC. An alternative history relates that in this case when Partholan arrived in annomundi 1969 or 2035 BC the formors again arrived at 2025 BC and fought this battle some 500 plus years earlier. The Samotheans arrived in England 59 years before Partholan arrived in England making the date am 1910 and 2094 BC. The older men of Genesis 10 or the neanderthal arrived England am 1969 and 2035 BC at the same time as Partholan on Ireland. However on the reduced time line of annomundi 2520 and 1484 BC the neanderthals arrived in Engalnd the same time as Partholan on Ireland. The formorians were of the same age as the older men of Genesis 10 and were cainanites. Ifurther propose the neanderthals were cainanites or of the same ethnic stock as the formors. Having in mind in this connection that Samothes arrived in England 59 years before Partholan then by simple arithmetic and logic the samotheans must have arrived in England in 1543 BC. Thus 1484 + 59yrs= 1543 BC in line with the annals of the fourmasters. Conclusion:- The formores and Neanderthals arrived England in 1484 BC. I propose they were one and the same people plus the fact that the neanderthal were stocky and powerful individuals. Samothes arrived 59 years before Partholan on Ireland in England that is to say 1543 BC. I propose therefore that by simple arithmetic and logic and common sense that these dates are valied. Author

I see one of the posts has criticised my article on the Formorians and Felizza was going to send an email to me but has not yet responded but has said that what everyone has said has got some merit to it. In the case of megaliths being built in Ireland in 3000 BC I would strongly refute and to ask some one to believe that monuments like stonehenge were built in the second or third milenium BC is just plain dishonest and a lot of folk such as myself would have serious problems with it. I would further like to suggest that there could well be a link between the Partholonian Neolithic industry and /or the megalith builders having a link to the Cromagnons as their embarcation point was in Spain. Bill Cooper “After the Flood”. I would most definitely place the mesolithic industry flint tools found on Tory Island in association with the formorians and that the evidence points to the fact that they were hunter gatherers.

    I will certainly keep my email address open for this discussion forum as I would like to hear from people who may have different opinions to my own. It goes without saying that the Irish/British Histories are a very difficult subject but I am something of a revisionist on biblical chronology and have alsways gone along with Ussher’s chronology. I would also like to hear from anyone who holds a similar opinion regarding recent dating of Neanderthals on a European timeline of ca 1500 BC which when correrlated with the Bronze “Age” in 1104 and 1145 BC makes good sense with the iron industry following on in ca 504 BC and this would equate with the archaeological pre-Roman Iron age of the Milisians.

 

 

 

 

NEANDERTHAL AND THE FORMORIANS

 

  1.    Larry ; Darrell White has recieved one of my tables for Britain and
    Ireland. However he has criticised Bill Cooper for subtracting LXX annomundi
    dates from 4004 BC. Example:= LXX flood Date =2242 annomundi  and
    Ussher=1656 a diffrence of 586 years. My point is that darrell pays "lip
    service to Ussher" but could be in error. Take as an example the date given
    for the arrival of Partholan in Ireland am 2520 and 1484 BC (1484 is
    mentioned in Ussher's Annals) . I dont know without looking what theLXX
    creation Date is (But would be handy for calculation purposes ownly). The
    LXX has Partholan arrive Ireland 278 years after the flood. According to
    Darrell White the figure is 313 years also using Ussher. Bill Cooper also
    using Ussher ( Partholan am 2520 and 1484)= 864 years after the flood.
    Diffrence 864 - 313 = 551 years diffrence. My other point is that dates
    before 1484 or if you like 1500 BC go back into the Deep Mist of Time as far
    as "The Isles and Europe are concerned and could be invalied due to errors
    in carbon/14 dating and should'nt therefore be used". Darrell also tells me
    that I should use ancient chronologies (using Ussher as I do and go with the
    313 yrs after the flood) so if there is an error in Bill's dating it is
    clearly in the LXX annomundi dates being subtracted from 4004. However there
    are mitigating circumstnaces here. "Ussher's annals place the milesians in
    494 BC. It also gives the date of annomundi 2520 and 1484 BC when one of the
    pharos invaded Scythia if I am correct and Europe. Darrell informs me that
    he can trace the Milesians arrival in Ireland back through the genealogies
    mentioned in Genesis. On his timeline he places the first celts ie King
    Samothes back to annomundi 1910 and 2094 BC (Compendium of World History
    chapter 19 volume one). There is an interesting observasion here; He informs
    me :- The older men of Genesis that you call "Neanderth" cmae to the "Isles
    in annomundi 1969 and 2035 BC in England contemporary with the arrival of
    Partholan on Ireland after 59 years. There was also a battle between the
    formores he informs me in 2025 and Partholan. Thus if on Darrell's time line
    2035 BC is the date being used; then for 1484 BC I have nailed the arrival
    of Neanderthal or "Older men of Genesis in the Isles contenporary with
    Partholand at the same time on Ireland. Darrell further informs me that the
    formorian giants were as old and at the same time as the older men of
    Genesis and if correct my time line would also reveal that there was a
    battle 10 years later in 1474 BC between Partholan and the Formores invading
    Ireland at this time ca 1474 BC. My chronology would also reveal by simple
    deduction that the earliest celts of Samothes would arrive in England 59 yrs
    before the arrival of Partholan on Ireland so 1484 BC + 59 years =  1543 BC
    at earliest. Conclusion:- Larry you have seen my tesimoney. To date Samothes
    to 2094 on my timeline would be todefy all credibility and I sugest would be
    610 years in error. I will keep an open mind on this and perhaps you could
    give me a response. You have seen the evidence that I presented. You must
    decide which is the true version of events

  2.  

The point I was trying to make was (Yes and you probably
guessed it) that Mike Gascoigne showed that the Firbolgues reintroduced EB1
into Britain and Ireland on his time line 1289 BC. If therefore EB1 was
concurrent with the exodus as Darrell says it wasin 1491 BC then it would
probably have taken a passage of time to reach Britain and Ireland via
Spain. Now do you see my point and where I'm coming from? Others say it was
reintroduced when the Phoenicians opend up the trade routs about 900 BC
according to some revisionist sources. So perhaps on my new table I could
put Firbolgue (Reintroduction of Bronze working 1289 BC) What do you reckon
about that idea? I'm glad that the work I'm doing for the mailing list has
worked out well for you and thanks for your encouragement by the way. I am
not much of an expert on Genealogies but industries are my chief interest on
this topic. I aggree it is importent to have genealogies especially where
the "Table of Nations is concerned; but by the same token it is necessary to
need to know when some of these industries were reintroduced to Britainand
Ireland and so far as I am aware; no young earthcreation historian has yet
given an evaluation for Britainand Ireland so this is why I took up the
initiative withthe help of Charles Kimball in drawing up my original
industry table for Britain and Ireland and did anevaluation using Bill's
dates. as they seem to fit quite well especially where Gunnar's research is
concerned although of course I realize now that it is a dates range and not
an exact chronology but is near enough for my purposes here in having done
that evaluation using the reduced chronology in this connection. John

 


John,

Many thanks for that Darrell. If they were infact the Phoenicians
then they were a bronze using people who came to exploit the riches
of Brtain and indeed Ireland and enslaved some of the people to work
the copper and tin mines or else they kept their knowledge secret
and kept the natives in ignorence of the use of metals. Seems as
though Charles Kimball has got it wrong over the formores being
Neanderthals unless the Neanderthals had cainanite phonician origins
. That is the ownly thing that would make any sense. John

John,
Here is a good reference for you.  was just rereading this book today.
http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/cul.cdl/docviewer?did=cdl360&seq=30&frames=0&view=50
The Annals of Clonmacnoise p.
14 "These fformores were a sept Descended from Cham the son of Noel
that there liuved by pyracy and spoyle of other nations and were in
those days troublesom in the whole world" >> >>1) This tells us they
were in the line of Ham
2) Pyracy and whole whole suggest ships that move from point to
point around the world.
which in turn suggests the Phoenicians.

Darrell although Partholan was the first colonist of Ireland there was one

Hi Damien Dan Janzen reckons that a city of the type built by Cain
needed Iron tools to dress the stones; and yet we have a village or
ciry as Darrell likes to call it; that was built by hunter-gatherers.
I here sugest Cichol Gricenchos and his men as a base for opperations
between the North of Scotland Ireland and Scandenavia;

Yet as far as I am aware no Iron tools have been found there although
Red Ochre Paint (Used in Burial cerimonies by the Neanderthals has
been found there. The smelting of Iron was something that was unknown
untill the re-introduction of the iron industry in Britain at least
untill arround the 500 plus years BC in the so-called Pre-Roman Iron
Age.

What I am basicaly saying Damien is that the Formorei had developped a
mixed ecconomy of farming fishing and huntergathering which would make
them part palaeolithic and part neolithic industries so the
Neanderthal I sugest despite what the evolutionary establishment would
have us believe was indeed capable of some kind of Neolithic
civilization. John
