evolved into a culture. Around the island home
they once lived in, follow the history which became known
as Manx.
The Isle of Man has an old and varied past. Beginning with the hunters
and gatherers of the Mesolithic period and through the New Stone Age.
The island then moved on to
pass through the Bronze Age with its burial mounds and improved tools.
It went through the Celtic Iron Age with its forts and roundhouses.
Soon after, Christianity hit the Manx shores, changing
many of its old beliefs. The Vikings followed bringing new ways of living
as they settled on the island with the Celts. The people of
the Isle of Man would be ruled by Norse the English and Scots, living
through times of war and peace. The monuments they left behind
around the coasts, hills and countryside allow us to
understand more about how these people once lived.
