A very provocative thread this is. Having read through all of it, I saw where you and “lost tribe” dialoged somewhat, he seemed quite the proponent of the Celtic-lost tribes of Israel theory. Apparently he is no longer a FReeper. What happened? Did he get the zot for pushing his theory?

I find the theory interesting, but with all kinds of problems, theological especially.

Thanks for the ping, Cronos.

"Apparently he is no longer a FReeper. What happened? Did he get the zot for pushing his theory? "

It's been so long now that I don't even remember.

I did note that of the five people addressed in post #2 that three have died and the other two were banned.

well, the entire tribe of the Angles and Jutes along with the Heruli (who had spent two to three centuries wandering from Denmark to Poland to Ukraine and back) just upped and moved out of their lands in what is now Denmark and left their lands uninhabited

The North Germanic Danes (who came from the south of what is now Sweden) took over

at the same time the Swedes who came from the north of what is now Sweden took over Sweden and united with the Geats (supposedly the same tribe as the Goths) to form Sweden

[Cronos]

the thing which strikes me are the small numbers we are talking about -- the population of the world in 500 BC was 70 million to 100 million, with the majority living in Egypt-Fertile Crescent-Indus Valley-Ganges Valley and on the eastern seaboard of China

The population of all of europe outside Greece would be probably 10 million (I'm guessing) or less.

Actually it’s the other way around — the Celts from around France and Belgium invaded Italy in 350BC, conquering Rome and then moved on to settle down in Galatia in Anatolia presently in Turkey

Archaeologists Find Celts in Unlikely Spot: Central Turkey

"After Midas and Alexander, Gordion languished on the fringes of history, and until recently archaeologists had taken little notice of its Celtic past. Yes, European Celts — the Gauls of Roman times and the forerunners of Bretons, Welsh, Irish and highland Scots — once migrated as far east as what is now central Turkey and settled in and around post-Alexander Gordion, beginning in the early third century B.C"
