IN SEARCH OF ANCIENT IRELAND traces the history and legends of ancient Ireland. Beginning in 2000 B.C. -- when Stone Age farmers built some of the largest and most spectacular Neolithic monuments in Europe -- the series explores events and stories from millennia of history, to 1167 A.D., when the Norman invasion placed Ireland under control of England's king.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Well done
Great video on the history and land of Ireland. I am traveling there in the summer and wanted a DVD which would not only be informative but also show the countryside. I couldn't be happier with my selection. You will learn alot about the people and the country. I can't wait to go!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Visually splendid

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - best documentary on ireland around
quite honestly, this was the best 20 bucks i've ever spent. in the 9 months since i bought this dvd i must have watched it 15 times, and the bonus that came with it is just breathtaking.
