   How old is Old Irish? Was it not spoken in the early middle ages? The Irish   
   were christians already back then (not to speak about the legends that their   
   kings were descendants of Mary Magdalene's and Jesus' child). Nietzsche   
   would have something funny to say about that.   
      
   The problem here is: Nietzsche is talking about Gaelic and means for sure a   
   language that was spoken before Christ or at least before the Celts became   
   christians.

   I do not want to irritate you, but he was already at the age of 24 a   
   Professor of Classical Philology - an expert on old languages. And we are   
   not talking about Irish here but Gaelic.
