The Gaelic Background of Old English Poetry before Bede
Seventh-century Gaelic law-tracts delineate professional poets (filid) who earned high social status through formal training. These poets cooperated with the Church to create an innovative bilingual intellectual culture in Old Gaelic and Latin. Bede described Anglo-Saxon students who availed themselves of free education in Ireland at this culturally dynamic time. Gaelic scholars called sapientes (“wise ones”) produced texts in Old Gaelic and Latin that demonstrate how Anglo-Saxon students were influenced by contact with Gaelic ecclesiastical and secular scholarship. Seventh-century Northumbria was ruled for over 50 years by Gaelic-speaking kings who could access Gaelic traditions. Gaelic literary traditions provide the closest analogues for Bede’s description of Cædmon’s production of Old English poetry. This ground-breaking study displays the transformations created by the growth of vernacular literatures and bilingual intellectual cultures. Gaelic missionaries and educational opportunities helped shape the Northumbrian “Golden Age”, its manuscripts, hagiography, and writings of Aldhelm and Bede.

100 Year Cover-Up Revealed
100-Year Cover-up Revealed: We Lived With Dinosaurs makes our past coexistence with dinosaurs effortlessly apparent with a wide variety of proof ranging from artistic to documentary to scientific. Although it automatically invalidates evolution by proving coexistence, this book takes the extra step of examining and destroying, with logic and science, every major assumption and claim made by evolutionists, including the absurd notion that dinosaurs and humans missed each other by 65 million years. The sub-topic that runs throughout the entire book is that, for the past century, evolutionists have been brainwashing us with bogus claims while actively and passively covering up evidence showing that humans coexisted with dinosaurs and that evolution is basically a hoax. 100-Year Cover-up Revealed: We Lived With Dinosaurs not only proves the reality of coexistence and the fallacy of evolution, but also shows how the suppression of these facts has polluted our laboratories, classrooms, and media. Finally, this book highlights the scientific and educational implications of its conclusions and offers an intelligent alternative to evolution.
