  Ollamh Fodhla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ollamh Fodhla, son of Fiacha Finscothach, was a legendary High King of Ireland.
His given name was Eochaid, and he was called Ollamh Fodhla because he was a learned ollamh (master, professor) and the king of Fodla, a poetic term for Ireland.
He established the Festival of Tara, which was an assembly of nobles and learned men held every three years at Samhain to make laws, approve the annals of Ireland, and punish criminals.

 Was Ollamh Fodhla King David of Israel?
Ollamh Fodhla, son of Fiacaidh of the Wineflowers, son of Sedna, son of Artri, son of Ebric, son of Eber, son of Ir, son of Miledh [Gathelus], held the sovereignty of Ireland FOR THIRTY YEARS, at the end of which he died WITHIN HIS OWN WALLS.
Of Fiacha, the fourth and last reigning son of Ollamh Fodhla, it is said that "it was difficult for the stalk to sustain its corn during his reign." This observation is a figurative way of expressing the GOODNESS OF HIS RULE and the PROSPERITY of the country during Fiacha's administration.
Although the ruling house lost the throne and scepter of Ireland, the LINE (descendants) of Ollamh Fodhla or David continued on; and there is the distinct possibility that a female descendant of this king married into the line of Heremon.

The title Ollamh Fodhla is both Hebrew and Irish, meaning the Possessor or Revealer of hidden-knowledge, thus making a second Hebrew link with Cairn T. The third Hebrew link is the Hebrew Scriptures of Jeremiah (Ollamh Fodhla) and Ezekiel, who makes reference to the "Tender Twig", in chapter 17.
Jeremiah was known in Ireland as Ollamh Fodhla and the Holy Patriarch of Ireland, who nurtured Ireland under The Torah, which he taught to his student Eochaidh (Tephi's husband) who inherited the title from him after his death.
588 B.C. The date of Ollamh Fodhla’s death is recorded, cut in stone, inside Cairn T, as being the 21st of Sept. in 581 B.C. British, Irish and Scottish records of the “Stone of Destiny” locate it at Tara, Ireland in circa 500 B.C. and that Eochaidh, the Daighda, married Teia Tephi.

There are conflicting theories about the identity of Ollamh Fodhla but the controversy is as a result of incorrect assumptions arrived at due to conflicting dating systems.
The Latin dating of Ollamh Fodhla is calculated from a "Creation" date of 5199 BC which has led historians to believe that Eochaidh "Ollothair" mac Duach, the Daighda, became high-king in 1828 BC.
The date of Ollamh Fodla's death is recorded, cut in stone inside Cairn T as being 21st September 581 BC.

 King Ollamh Fodhla e-mail dated September 3rd 2005
One of several curious facts concerning King Ollamh Fodhla is that he appears to have been completely "written out" of standard Irish history books during the past several generations, even though he is probably the most important - by far - of all the kings of Ireland.
Although few people appear to be aware of the fact (at the present time), King Ollamh Fodhla is very closely linked with the Hill of Tara, and with Brehon Law - a legal system which has been described as "the oldest and perhaps most humane collection of laws in Europe".
Among other things, it is hoped that all archaeologists, and indeed everyone involved with the planned M3 motorway project, may wish to keep the above mentioned information regarding King Ollamh Fodhla in mind.
