After watching Ancient Apocalypse, which is absolutely brilliant, I was surprised that Ireland wasn't mentioned, specially in relation to Atlantis, myths, and megaliths, with lots of them aligned to the sun, stars etc....
Not to far from where I live, a ring fort called Grianan of Aileach in Co Donegal, is a Sun temple, that dates back to around 1700 BC. On just two days every year, on the spring and autumn equinoxes, the rising sun aligns with the monument. This is one of the many sites in Ireland which are even older.

But what got my attention was in one of the episodes on Gobekli Tepe and the T Cross standing stones, reminded me of a story of Tory Island of Co Donegal, in the Book of Invasions which is a history of Ireland drawn up in the 11th century and based on oral traditions, it is known as Lebor Gabála Érenn in Irish, and although the book was originally presented as a realistic history, most scholars today regard it as mostly mythical, that sounds familiar to what Hancock has observed with myths as being pure fiction.
Any in the book it mentions Tory Island off the coast of Co. Donegal was first occupied by Nemedian settlers from Scythia in modern Turkey.
On Tory Island by the shore stands a T cross, very similar to that of Gobekli Tepe,

There has been some debate recently about the dating of the cross with one or two researchers starting to believe that it may predate Christianity altogether, as the symbol was used by Pagans in Egypt.
