Dan, North Ireland, Denmark


An article in our series:
Tribal Stones and Hues in the Light of Hebrew Nations Identifications


Dan Dan is here given an amber or light orange color , though other opinions say a shade of blue. The amber gem was important in the early history of Scandinavia in the Bronze Age and may have involved the settlement of Dan there. Perhaps also there is an element from Dan amongst the Protestants of Northern Ireland? Dan definitely was in that area. The name Donegal in northwest Ireland (in Ulster) may be derived from Dan.
It is worth noting that the original color of Ireland was not green but rather saffron which is a variety or orange.
Would this suggest that the Orange Color associated with Northern Ireland predated William of Orange?
Was the Tribe of the god Dan (Tuatha de Danaan) more important than we realize?
Were there really two tribes in the Tuatha de Danaan as has been recently proposed:
Tuatha de i.e. The Tribe of God meaning Israelites or Jews in Old Gaelic and Dana or Dan meaning the Tribe of Dan?

In Ulster we find the Province of Donegal. The name of Donegal is said to come from the words "don" meaning "fort" and gal or Gael. Even so, we tend to associate Donegal with Dan. See Donegal in Biblical Codes.

Here are some orange Pictures from Donegal. Donegal is mainly in the Catholic portion of Ulster but Note the green and yellow tending to orange colors.



The Orange country par excellence, as shown below, is of course Ulster of Northern Ireland meaning the predominantly Protestant section.





Anyway we identify the Tribe of Dan primarily with the country of Denmark.
A search of symbols of Denmark surprisingly did show a predominance of an orange or yellow-orange hue.
The same applies concerning the Royal Jewels of Denmark.
It is not just a case of this is what we are looking for and this is what we get. The hue in question is there. See the examples below.
