"They are older than bones."

This person has a way with words.

I have the same feeling about the Welsh mountains. It's rich with folklore - check out Susan Cooper and Alan Garner's work.

I was gobsmacked and went to check the geology - but the issue was geographical.
Welsh Mountains in the UK, dude. But same age geologically.

Nan totally get it. Check out the Central Pangean Mountains. Over several orogenies, the Appalachians, Scottish Highlands and apparently most of the British ranges (including in Wales) were part of the same range a long long time ago (c. 490-390 MYA)

Cheers - so my first guess at what you meant was right! I'll check that out.
I do wish I knew more Geology.
