How much of Iron Age Ireland is myth, and how much is archaeological reality? At the monumental Hill of Tara, sacred kings ruled over a landscape steeped in ancient ritual and ancestral memory.Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr. John Waddell, author of The Celtic World, to explore the truth to be found through the mist and beneath the hills. We hear about legendary rulers like Queen Medb, epic cattle raids, massive ceremonial feasts, and lawless, roaming war bands.MOREIron Age Britain<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/iron-age-britain/id1520403988?i=1000769068093" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4pfQPibNe3XvQMXFDIvDar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a>Origins of the Celts<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/origins-of-the-celts/id1520403988?i=1000659027926" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Bxy0X7ZJOx5t1Ko4xwEmy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a>Presented by Tristan Hughes.
