What year did the Basque people discover Ireland?
The Basque people were likely aware of Ireland from as early as the 14th century due to their seafaring activities, such as fishing and trade. However, there is no specific date for when they "discovered" Ireland.
What is the origin of the Basque people?
Western Europe is the postulated origin of the Basque people even though the correct answer depends upon the location and timing of the emergence of the Basque language and of the self-identification of the language's speakers as uniquely Basque.Specifically, the Basque ultimately can be traced back to the first known "anatomically modern" humans of 100,000-200,000 years ago in East Africa. About 60,000 years ago, some East Africans migrated to Eurasia. Some of the migrants settled along the Indian Ocean while others moved northward into the Central Asian steppes. Inhabitants of the steppes spread ever westward across Eurasia.About 45,000 years ago, some of the steppe-dwellers began moving from the area of the Black Sea - whose European access is controlled today by Turkey - into Europe. It is thought that the Basque people numbered among the migrants to first reach southern France and northern Spain. Ancient sources in Latin mention:Autrigones, Caristi, and Vardulli as inhabiting what is now taken up geographically by France's three and Spain's four Basque-speaking provinces;Vascones as living slightly east of the current Basque Country.Scholars know little about the first above-mentioned group. The second group may have spoken an old form of Basque. A third group, the Aquitani - unmentioned in the above list, but living nearby in southwest France around Gascony - may have been ancestors of the Basque people since they are known to have spoken an Aquitanian language which may be an ancestor or relative of today's Basque language.It is possible that a key event in the forging of today's Basque nation was the southward and westward movements of the Aquitani and Vascones and their absorption or displacement of the Autrigones, Caristi and Vardulli.
