Answer 5

Hello dear!
Well, 3,500 years ago, the city founder Melitos from Crete, received the advice and directions, from the Oracle of Artemis, located in island Meliti to found a new city!
He followed Oracle's directions and with two ships he arrived to a place called by the Greeks, even before the Deucalion Catastrophe, Land of Ires (Rainbow). When they got out of the ships to prepare the foundation of the city, the locals got organized to attack. But, in the middle of the battle preparation they understood that the locals were speaking some Greek dialect! Instead of fighting and killing each another, they discussed and found out that the locals were truly Greeks who arrived to the island (Ires Land) before the Deucalion Catastrophe (known by the Jews as the Noah's Catastrophe). So, they found out that they were Pelasgians, a Greek nation and lived in peace. The new settlers founded a city named after the city they came from: Tara of Crete! Tara since then became the cultural and religion center of Ireland!
