"A hundred years later, this "lost" Northern Kingdom of now over 5 Million Israelites escaped and migrated north through the Caucasus Mountains and past the Black and Caspian Seas, to appear in history ~610 BC as The Celts, eventually joining other scattered Israelites who left Egypt a thousand years earlier. These Millions of Celts grew to become a huge population as they migrated west and northwest to Galatia, Ephesus, Corinth, Phillipi, to what is today Hallstadt, Austria and Neuchatel, Switzerland (where there are major Celtic digs and museums) and beyond to the North and West. They are the rootstock of todays Europeans, and Americans.
