Badger Unearthed 4,200-Year-Old Bones In Ireland
COUNTY CAVAN, IRELAND — The Irish Times reports that a badger unearthed ancient human remains at a burial site in Cavan Burren Park, known for its prehistoric monuments, megalithic tombs, rock art, and dwelling sites. A group of historians and archaeologists found the small pieces of cremated human bone and charcoal near a collapsed tomb. “Our badger just threw out the bones,” said historian Séamus Ó hUtlacháin. “They were no bigger than my nail, just scraps of bone. It is the oldest discovery in this region, a wonderful discovery.” Part of a femur from the site has been carbon dated by scientists at Queen’s University to between 2438 and 2200 B.C. To read more about animal excavators, go to “Critter Diggers.”

If I am correct by the age of the bones and the Biblical timeline, this person lived a couple hundred years after Noah’s Flood.
“Can anyone outside of his clan, properly state his name?”
The Irish can. I’m glad they managed to save their language from dying out. The Manx and Cornish were not successful in that effort. Norn already disappeared 500 years ago. The Welsh are holding on. The Scots are too - barely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUSGeUYpRiw
And where exactly, did anyone find it offensive?
Have you ever noticed that “recorded history” starts at about the same time, as well?
I think there’s a connection.
Sorry, I guess I misinterpreted your tone.
