I read a couple of years ago that testing has shown the average Englshman still has strong Celtic ties.

Apparently those Roman, Saxon etc. invaders did not come close to displacing the original inhabitants.

I always thought it interesting that Ramses the Great had red wavy hair. Also the King David is traditionally said to have been red headed.

Pharaoh Tutankhamun, Akhenaten and Amenhotep III were R1b

I am R1b and it is the most common yDNA in Europe. The most common mtDNA in Europe is 'H'.

Abraham and Sarah were said to be sister and brother and were close family relatives. They had a son whose name was Isaac. Rebekah's father was Bethuel, who was the son of Abraham's brother Nahor. Rebekah married Isaac. Jacob their son went to Labin’s house to escape Esau. Labin was Rebecca's nephew. His two daughters ended up marrying Jacob. The name Labin actually means “white”. Names in those days often had meaning for the life of the one who had the name. It is possible that if Labin name was essentially white he may have been very light of skin color. If he had white skin it may have run in his family. When you think about it both Rebekah and Sarah were so beautiful as to have kings greatly desire them because of their beauty. Maybe, just maybe there was something quite different and striking about them. What if it was their fair skin color that set them apart from all other beautiful women of their time. What if the white race actual originates from the same strain as Abraham and Sarah? You are right their are any number of references to various Israelites being white, rosy or light of color.
