==Introduction==
It is known that in [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]] there were human settlers since prehistoric times, dating back to 3.000 years BC. The Greeks (so told by [[Strabo]], b. 63 BC-d. 24 BC) knew the settlers resided on the north of the river [[Douro]] by the name of [[Kallaikoi]], later the name Kallaikoi was translated into Latin as Gallaeci, Callaeci or Gallaicoi.

For the people who do not know it, we will remember that, following these old legends, the [[Gaels]] came from [[Scythia]] (more or less identified with the south of [[Ukraine]], center of [[Romania]] or Polish [[Galitzia]], nowadays). From there, they went to [[Egypt]]. Once their mission was fulfilled in Egypt, and after a brief return to Scythia, they went to [[Spain]], which they conquered by force of arms, the conquest would be accomplished beginning by Galicia, which was followed by [[Asturias]] and [[Biscay]]. As we will see later, the amazing exactitude of this description even makes us suspect that; in fact, the upper Gael classes had always known the facts that occupy us, with all their details included. And finally, from the [[tower of Breogan]] (it is called [[Torre de Hércules]], now) they descried [[Ireland]], which they took after a cruel fight against the [[Tuatha De Danann]].
