"The Amesbury Archer
Looks Hebrew to the artist"
What makes him look Hebrew?
>What makes him look Hebrew?
Process of elimination. Does he look Oriental? No.
Does he look Negroid? No.
Does he look (North or South) American Indian? No.
Does he look European Celtic? Yes, even though there were no people designated as Celts at this time.
Who were the Celts? They were Hebrews/Semites/Israelites. (See the 3-MINUTE HISTORY at my FR Profile below for the details.)
Abraham (2,000 BC) was a Hebrew. (The word "Hebrew" simply means "stranger" or "wanderer"). Abraham came from a family of "Hebrews" in Ur, in what today is southern Iraq. There were lots of Hebrews wandering around loose, at least that part of the world at that time.
So what did Abraham, a Hebrew, look like? No one really knows, but you can work backwards to arrive at a reasoned estimate by looking at Abrahams offspring. This is far from perfect, but is better than nothing:
To begin, Abrahams offspring are white, or "Causasian". A quick look at some of Abrahams offspring gives the idea. These offspring are all contemporary Jews:
Joseph Lieberman, Paul Newman, Ted Koppel, Harrison Ford, Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., Kirk Douglas, Kevin Costner, Stephen Breyer, Yitzhak Rabin, Michael Landon, Lorne Greene, Mike Wallace, Benjamin Netanyahu, William Shatner, Douglas Fairbanks, Cary Grant, Leonard Bernstein, Paul Simon, Ariel Sharon, David Frost, Morley Safer, Ari Fleischer,
Jack Benny, Alan King, Casper Weinberger, Carl Reiner, George Burns, Red Buttons, Sam Levinson, Bernard Goldberg, Robert Downey Jr., Dustin Hoffman, Michael Douglas, Peter Sellers, Tony Curtis, Edward G. Robinson, Wolf Blitzer, Mel Torme, Paul Wellstone, Peter Falk, Leonard Nimoy, Jerry Springer, Arlen Spector, William Cohen,
Barry Goldwater, Robert Rubin, William Roth, Howard Metzenbaum, Hyman Rickover, Robert Reich, Russ Feinberg, Stanley Mosk, Arthur Burns, Milton Friedman, Bill Kristol, Victor Borge, William Kristol, Warren Rudman, etc., etc, etc.
These Jews, which everyone agrees are Hebrews/Semites/Israelites just happen to look like and could easily be confused with their Israelite cousins, European and American whites who are of Celtic origin. The Celts and the Jews are genetic cousins via Jacob/Israel. All are offspring from Abraham/Isaac/Jacob/Israel, and all are Hebrews, Semites, and Israelites.
This artist has drawn The Amesbury Archer to look like a modern white Celtic man, much like any other white European/American man today, so the artist apparently views the Amesbury Archer as a Hebrew.
