Lori and Aine

Back from a trip to Prague, Ainé and I catch up to talk about an unexpected discovery she made regarding her Celtic (Irish) ancestors originating from the Kingdom of Bohemia, the predecessor to the Czech Republic.
Traveling down memory lane, in the days before we recorded this episode, I sent her a couple of links about an exhibit I attended in 2008 at the Royal Ontario Museum on the History of Ancient Ukraine and the Cucuteni Trypillian Culture 5400-2700 BC. My working theory is that these people are the ancestors of the Celts.
