Did the Irish Invent the Olympics? The Tailteann Games

Long before the Ancient Olympics there was a competition called the Tailteann Games. It took place in Ancient Pagan Ireland. The festival celebrated the dead, was the time for creating new laws and settling disputes. Tailteann Games were about more than physical feats as there were competitions in music, storytelling, dancing and competitions in strategy and mental focus. The games declined from the Norman Invasion. The games were the inspiration behind the GAA and when the Irish Free State was founded the games were used as a way to remind the world Ireland has a fantastic, unique culture separate from the Empire which had ruled for centuries. Sadly, the games were discontinued and continue to be dismissed. Powerful institutions in Ireland have continued to hinder attempts to bring the games back as they represent an older way of life that does not suit modern agendas. The games even had trial marriages where a couple had the option to dissolve (divorce) the union in the first year. With support we would like to gradually recreate the Tailteann Games over the coming years, bringing the focus back onto what matters. connecting the people of the world and sharing the best parts of our cultures in an environment of healthy competition and celebration. Special thanks to Teltown House and all the people of Teltown who have been outstanding supports in our research and filming.
