Description
Scotland and Ireland were first settled by Egyptians, according to the legend of Queen Scota and her Greek husband, King Gaythelos. This extraordinary tale, as recorded in the fourteenth-century book Scotichronicon, has been the subject of much debate among historians. While some have dismissed it as fiction, Ralph Ellis argues that there are many elements to the story that suggest a deeper truth. Ellis has taken a close look at the mythology of Queen Scota and King Gaythelos, and has uncovered many links and associations that lead to a surprising conclusion. This book is a fascinating exploration of the ancient history and language of Egypt, and a thought-provoking examination of the origins of the Scottish and Gaelic people. Published in 2006, and revised and expanded in 2015, this edition of the book offers a fresh perspective on a fascinating topic.
