Ya I read it, which generated my post inquiring as to your novel concept that the Angles and Saxons were Celt rather than German. Now you square the circle by saying the Germans were Celts. It seems almost everyone is a Celt (well you know what I mean).

No, that overstates the case. But it is safe to say that FAR MORE Europeans (North and West) are of Celtic origin than in the article which began this thread, which confines them to Cornwall/Wales, Ireland and Brittany.

One theory - which I am particularly attracted to - has ALL PEOPLES (well, 8 of them anyway) starting out after the flood of Noah, in Anatolia, which is Turkey. From there the original Celts migrated north and west, or south and west around the Black Sea and into Europe. So, the theory is not at all farfetched as it sounds. You are just hearing the tail end of it.
