Yes, but someone suggested RJ might be lying, although I don't know if he was being serious.

He could've been lying t us. I hear authors do that sort of thing ALL the time. (Yes, I'm looking at YOU Alcatraz Smedry!) :D

We are supposed to be serious? blast....

For the record, I don't think RJ was lying, but Olver WOULD have been the perfect choice. Unless of course he WAS lying and all those excuses are just hand waving to distract us from the fact that Aliens abducted Gaidal from T'A'R and brought him back to the wrong place! dun dun DUN!

I remember that scene.  That was when we got the introduction of the death gates.

With that attack, the number of people we can rule out is much smaller than those who could have done it.  We can't even rule out Ishmael.

Before Rhuidean Mat had a smattering of the Old Tongue and a few not-quite-actual memories that popped up on occasion, and all of it was from "the Old blood", possibly from ancestors and not necessarily his own past lives.  After Rhuidean, all his memories from the Finns were just memories they happened to have on hand from various assorted people they'd had contact with.  The common thread between Mat and the people those memories come from is contact with the Finns, not rebirth or blood.  Heck, it's mentioned a few times that he actually has memories from opposite sides of the same battle in some cases.

That reminds me of one of the most chilling scenes in the series. Where Mat comes to the conclusion that, since he has various memories of "himself" actually dying, the Finns actually can see through his eyes at all times. Very creepy.

Do we know for certain that Mat's memories are actually other peoples? I just thought that he was going out of his way to come up with an explanation for having a bunch of memories that he can't account for, since Mat has always been the type to run from problems when he could. Did RJ say for certain?

When do the books mention that he had memories from people on two sides of a battle?

I'm certain there was memories of him fighting alongside AND against Artur Hawking.

Yes, it is other peoples memories. The Finns did fill up the holes in his memory with other memories from people who have been to the Finns before him.
