Sir, - In Anne Byrne's article, "Demolishing the myths at Tara" (May 30th) she accused me of "Millenniumitis" and quoted two so called experts, both of whom made incorrect statements that prove they don't know what they are talking about.
Mairead Carew states that the British-Israelites believe they are descended from one of the lost tribes of Israel, which is totally false. The British-Israelites are a world-wide body of well-educated people who believe that the Bible is the truth and who know that they and many others are descended from the 10 lost tribes of Israel and that includes the Irish people, who are mostly descended from the Tuatha de Dannan, Tribe of Dan - the fifth tribe of Israel.
Dr Edel Bhreathnach states as her reason for believing the Ark is unlikely to be at Tara that God made a Covenant with the Jews. This is also untrue. God made the Covenant with all 12 of the Tribes of Israel, which includes the Irish-Danites, and not just with the Jews, who are only one of the tribes, the fourth-Judah. The Jews broke the Covenant which is why Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed. The Ark was taken away from them and brought to Ireland to the Irish-Israelite Children of Dan, by Jeremiah, exactly as prophesied in the Bible.
Dr Bhreathnach also states that Queen Tea was both a myth and also Queen of Thebes in Egypt. Both statements are untrue and I have Queen Tea's autobiography to prove it.
It is also obvious from her own statements that Dr. Bhreathnach does not know where the name Tara came from. Tea (Teia) Tephi was not an Egyptian, she was the daughter of King Zedekiah of Jerusalem (588 BC) and was taken to Tanis (not Thebes) by Jeremiah the Prophet, where she was adopted by Pharaoh Hopra as his daughter (not his queen) and from there brought, via Gibraltar, to Ireland where she landed at Howth on June 18th, 583 BC and was crowned at Cathair Crofinn (now Tara) as Queen of Ireland. She ruled Ireland by The Torah (God's Laws) given to Moses and Israel at Sinai, the originals of which are kept in the Ark (with copies being in your Bibles).
Tea changed the name Crofinn to Torah which became Taueragh in Anglo-Norman and is now Tara. Tara is not derived from Teamur. Teamur means "wall of Tea" and refers to her wall that she had built on Torah Hill, which was her "wailing-wall" (as in Jerusalem) where she wept over the destruction of Solomon's Temple and her native Jerusalem, as the people of Jerusalem still do today.
I believe I have demonstrated that I know far more about Tara and Tea than anyone at the Discovery Programme and have therefore earned the right to dig a tiny area of grass, 6' x 6' at Tara, to recover Tea and the Ark and replace the myths with the truth and the Ark of the Covenant for all to see. - Yours, etc.,Mr J A Hill,
