Conor MacDari

Conor MacDari was an Irish American mason and occult author, best known for his eccentric claims regarding Ireland's ancient history.^[1][2][3]

Eccentric claims

Macdari subsequently became known as the "Irish Comyns Beaumont"^[4] for his idiosyncratic eccentric claims, some of which were:

• Adam and Eve were both born in Ireland.
• The Bible was originally written in Irish, not Hebrew.
• The events of the Old Testament took place in Ireland.
• The so-called Hebrew is but an artificial sacerdotal dialect of an ancient Irish priesthood.
• The most ancient code of laws on earth were established in Ireland.
• The origin of the pope traces back to the Irish Druids.
• Ancient Greek history is mostly fiction and her classical personages are merely mythical characters taken from Irish culture.
• The Irish built the Great Pyramid of Giza.
• All the ancient British kings derived from Ireland.
