New revised and expanded 2015 edition.

*** Scotland and Ireland were first settled by Egyptians ***

The legends of Ireland and Scotland tell an incredible tale of an Egyptian queen and her Greek husband, who were exiled from Egypt in the future throughout the second one millennium BC. Chased from their homelands, they took to the sea and settled in Spain and then Ireland. It is said that it was once from this Queen Scota and King Gaythelos that the brand new titles for the Scottish and Gaelic people were derived. All of these early Celtic myths were in the end set down in a fourteenth-century book referred to as Scotichronicon, the title page of which appears on the cover of this book.

But what are we to make of this ancient story – is it based more upon fact or fiction? Historians have, as one might expect, taken the story to be complete fiction. But there are lots of elements to this hoary old tale that demonstrate that the authors of Scotichronicon knew a great deal about the ancient history and language of Egypt.

Ralph Ellis has taken a lateral look at this mythology, and found many links and associations that lead to one inescapable conclusion – that the ordinary tale of Queen Scota and King Gaythelos is probably true.

Sequel to: ‘Solomon, Pharaoh of Egypt’
