Here's a couple of good pieces from The Scotsman, a newspaper of the area and Africasource.com
'...Here Ellis refers to Irish stories, but supplements the myth with facts.
He points to the number of gold torcs – necklaces worn by pharaohs - that have been found in the country.
He shows us tombs that were surely built with Egyptian knowledge.
He even finds us a mummified head that demonstrates that Scota's people took their method of embalming
their dead with them from Egypt halfway across the world.From Ireland it was a short hop across the water
as later Iberian "Egyptians" seeking a new homeland in Ireland were told to populate Scotland.
This colony became so successful that eventually many of the original Irish "Scots" then moved across too...'

'... In 1955, archaeologist Dr. Sean O’Riordan of Trinity College, Dublin, made an interesting
discovery during an excavation of the Mound of Hostages at Tara, site of ancient kingship of
Ireland.
Bronze Age skeletal remains were found of what has been argued to be a young prince, still
wearing a rare necklace of faience beads, made from a paste of minerals and plant extracts
that had been fired.
The skeleton was carbon dated to around 1350 BC. In 1956, J. F. Stone and L. C. Thomas
reported that the faience beads were Egyptian: “In fact, when they were compared with
Egyptian faience beads, they were found to be not only of identical manufacture but also
of matching design.
The famous boy-king Tutankhamun was entombed around the same time as the Tara skeleton
and the priceless golden collar around his mummy’s neck was inlayed with matching conical,
blue-green faience beads”
An almost identical necklace was found in a Bronze Age burial mound at north Molton, Devon.
Lorraine Evans in her compelling book, Kingdom of the Ark, reveals archaeological connections
between Egypt and Ireland. Evans argues that the connections between the two distant lands
were plausible and there is archaeological evidence to support the theory.
In 1937 in North Ferriby, Yorkshire, the remains of an ancient boat were discovered.
While thought to be a Viking longship at first, continued excavation produced additional ships,
wrecked in a storm...'
