Excellent info Frodo and Lindril, I've often thought about these old connections too.
Just to add to this blurring of Fact & Myth: the Celts, Picts and Scots (B.C) all have tales concerning the occaisional visits to their shores of a 'tall, wise and beautiful' race sometimes refered to as the Ânanagé. Amongst the learned things, they are said to have taught barrow building, starcraft and stone circles to these lost ancient Britons.
Without any hard facts to go on, contemporary historians seem to favour the 'safe' theory that the Ânanagé were most probably ancient Egyptian in origin, but I think all we can say for certain is, who knows? Mysteries are great and history would be so boring without them!
