I know next to nothing about religion/the Irish Chronicles but I did hike the Camino de Santiago which ends in Galicia and my favorite pit stop along the way was Sierra de Atapuerca[1] and the Museum of Human Evolution in Burgos. The museum (I assume deliberately) avoids any mention of religion whatsoever but my recollection[2] of the tour at the dig site was that they had found evidence of early humans migrating to northern Spain from northern Africa. I would be curious to know if it was a happy accident that medieval monks stumbled into a somewhat correct explanation or whether they had some evidence to support their theory.
