About Those Albs-Did They Travel To Mt. Alban (Mexico) via New Foundland and Minnesota?

Interesting point about Alban as an ancient name for Scotland. Mowatt believed a people named the Albs move to the British Isles first-probably before the Brits. In Alaska we may wonder if the carved spirals in the stone floor at Newgrange Ireland at 54 degrees North latitude was carved by the same culture that carved such spirals on rocks at Wrangell Alaska located also about 54 degrees north? Wrangell is located at the delta of a river cutting through the Coastal Mountains of British Columbia-U.S.A. named the Stikine. Along the hills of the Stikine are some stone shelters of small size said to be like those of Ireland and the Aran Islands formerly used as penance huts of monks.

The Albs were a shorter, darker race probably from Corsica or elsewhere in the Mediterranean. Sea from long ago. They built Earth mounds across Europe on their way to Ireland, the Orkneys, Hebrides, Iceland, Greenland and eventually New Found land.

Innis Mor in the Arran Island may have been built by Albs or Celts. It seems improbable that Celts would have developed such a back to the wall style in Galway Bay. In the photo at the hyperlink below a Black Fortress was located at the top of such a Cliff. It is still a fascinating place to visit.

One book on Irish history I read some time ago by a journalist, said that when the Celts arrived they found conquering these shorter Irish comparatively easy. Das baghd or some such talk about 'in the bag' was their regard for the Albs.

The late Neolithic was a desperate time for Alban people. Their currach boats are very similar to some Tlingit framed vessels covered with hide or animal skin. It seems probable that a scaled up version may have been used by Albs to venture abroad. When the ancient waters were full of fish, watermen and families might have survived quite some time away from land.

Mowatt seemed to think that the Albs were boaters and fishermen and moved ever west and north in search of New fishing and hunting grounds while the Vikings and Celts to a limited extent pursued them for plunder as their cities were built up.

The relatively unknown history of Albs in North America is interesting to consider. Sure, Mt. Alban of Mexico could have been named in the post-Columbian era. That was what I wondered about-did its name arise as a pre-Columbian relic in language of an Alban culture contact?

Many of the names, or most of the names of ancient sites in Mexico are named for their American developers-is Mt. Alban an exception?

Teotihuacan is certainly not an Irish name. A name for Mt. McKinley in Alaska-Tenados-is quite similar to the name of that large Island off Turkey in the Mediterranean. Sea.

The Alban currach or skin boat over a wood frame may have been a good craft for early voyaging along shores and skipping between Iceland, Greenland and down to and through the St. Lawrence Seaway. It could b e readily built and taken apart for portage'. One could paddle along the Great Lakes and walk over to Mississippi River drainage and mark twain to the delta. Turning right to travel with the sun one might end up in Vera Cruz where a cultural promotion by the locals of their visitors might have led to Mt. Alban.

Of course Mt. Alban could have been named by some archeologist leaving Cork with a suitcase full of Guinness-I don't know.
