Being from Germany I have to say nowadays we don't really deny anything. On the contrary we study Nazi Germany every single year in Litterature and History class  Maybe that's just too big to deny

No clean hands in humanity, we're all terrible, it's just a matter of degree. (Maybe Australian Aborigines, of all the extant peoples on Earth, can claim not to have wiped out an indigenous population when they arrived where they are, but then they burnt the whole place to the ground within a couple of years of getting there.)

We got hosed up by famines and the English more than anything else. Not heard of the Beaker people, a cursory googling didn't help overly much. Any links I could follow to learn more?

Not that it has to do with Ireland directly, but interesting nonetheless

We don't know much about them apart from the fact they really liked to make a certain type of beaker (hence the name), and that they probably built Stonehenge and a bunch of other Neolithic sites as well as supplying a fair chunk of the tin needed for the Classical Age bronze workers, then disappeared with suspicious speed when the Celts started migrating north and west with their shiny iron weapons. It's entirely possible that the Beaker People became the Celts rather than being displaced by them, but the speed of the migration of the Celtic language (and metallurgy) is rather quick for that sort of cultural osmosis to happen, although at this remove it's basically impossible to tell. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaker_culture gives probably the quickest summary of what we know about them (i.e. very little) and there's quite a few pages you can go from there.

Skara Brae's fascinating because the houses have several features (hearths, chimneys, drainage and toilets) that were supposedly invented much, much later than that and which didn't return to the British Isles for more than 2000 years with the Romans. In a way it's far more interesting and out-of-place than the Great Pyramids but nobody says that it was built by aliens.

Whenever I refused to leave the house with my parents as a small child, my parents would be all "Okay, then we're going without you, bye!" then make a big show of leaving. They'd wait outside the front door for about twenty seconds before I'd break down and decide to come with them. I would get so scared of being left all alone, and my parents exploited that fear. Now that I'm an adult I recognize the tactic as emotional abuse, and I've promised myself I'd never do it to my (currently hypothetical) child. Welp that's my story

It was probably carved into the stone in the 1800s. Nice job, folks! Now everybody thinks the building is much earlier than it as even though dendrochronology dates it to 1707. There's also someone writing a book about the building who insists that it was built in the 1600s and who asked how they managed to replace all the seventeenth-century bricks with eighteenth-century ones. I can't WAIT till I have a tour of old ladies who insist that they heard the building was built in the 1640s and it should be filled with fake antiques and spinning wheels. Maybe I can talk them to death about my own research on the time period. It would be nice to have a captive audience instead of being one.

My aunt used to run a small store and once had a lady threaten to leave her little girl there. I guess it wasn't working because the woman actually got in her car and drove away. Then the little girl freaked out.
