How Treasures from Europe made their way to the island

These treasures are the reason there is still a heavy flow of European tourists coming to see or pay tribute:

Excalibur

Zulfikar, or Dhu L-fiqar

Falias, the coronation stone captured from Fál (Lia Fáil) or from the Hill of Tara in County Meath, attributed to wizard poet Morfesa or Fessus.

Gorias, the spear (sleg) of Lug, attributed to wizard poet Esras.

Findias, from wizard poet Wiscias sword (claideb) which belonged to Núadu No one ever escaped from it once it was drawn from its sheath, and no one could resist it.

Muirias or Murias, from wizard poet Semias, the communal cauldron (coire) captured from the Dagda
