>the freeborn descendants of the conquered Celtic tribes officially became "Romans".

Interesting.

[LostTribe]

>There is no bona-fide evidence that Hebrews peopled Scandinavia or any other Northern European land.

True, if you confine your "research" to People Magazine.

"...it is mentioned that the Scots had previously been to the land where the 'Pillars of Hercules' is, which is known as the gateway to the mediterranean, and usually associated with Spain."

That would be the Straights of Gibralter.

Tuatha de Danann

Other writers say it relates to "Tribe of Dan".

Dana, or Danu, was a Celtic goddess associated with death. Tuatha de Danann means "the people of Dana."

>There is no bona-fide evidence that Hebrews peopled Scandinavia or any other Northern European land.

>>True, if you confine your "research" to People Magazine.

>False, if you confine your "research" to old Worldwide Church of God tracts. I'm on to you, beotch.

Guess we can add Weight Lifters Weekly to your intellectual resource library. If you had actually read my Profile below, you would realize how wrong your conclusions are.

Try adding something constructive to the discussion. At this point you look quite out of place.

Is there ANYTHING the Romans did not copy from another civilization?

[Squire]

Yup. The story about the Black Irish coming from survivors of Spanish Armada shipwrecks is not true. The Irish killed all the Spanish as they came ashore.

Also, doesn't this entire study seem rather flawed? The researchers did genetic testing on randomly chosen people from different parts of the UK and the European continent. Their conclusion is that because some Celtic gene patterns are found in people now living in southern England, the Celts must not have fled to the hills.

Isn't it at least possible (if not probable), that some of the Celts may have moved back, say by 1950 or 1960, maybe to work in London or some other town, and bred there?

When the king came by the homestead to sign up soldiers, he went up to one of the young men. He asked if the man wanted to join the army. The man held out his arms and grabbed the king by his collar and raised him up to face level and asked "You are the king?". The king said he would be paid double.

That's what I thought. WAAAAAAAY too far back to be the Celts. But the Black Sea story of the flood is a fascinating one. Anxious to see what the Nat Geog will do with the film they are making.

Yup, me too. I have a wheelbarrel full of wood that has been dated at 7,000 years old. A couple years ago I had documents of authenticity made up and laminated, then I attached the laminated document to a sample piece of the wood with a gold chain and gave that as a Christmas present. On the backside of each document I placed a list of well know events, etc. such as:

This wood is: X older than the pyramids of Egypt, X older than Jesus Christ, and so forth. They were well received.

So, do you have any insight or even speculation about who were/are the mummies out in the Tarim Basin near Lulan/Urumchi in east China? They are Celtic, 6-7,000 years old.

In other words, I nailed you.

Actually, I don't need any more weight lifting references. I have plenty sitting right next to my diploma, which reads, "Master of Arts, Anthropology." But who really gives a rat's ass, except maybe you?

Unlike you, appeals to authority don't impress me. You, however, impress me as a person on a quest to dredge the sewer for the elusive A Priori, a nasty beast who gobbles up minds and spits them out at FreeRepublic.

Bump for you. (you added so much to the other thread, thanks)

[skraeling]

You certainly seem to have a bad attitude. Take a look at your many useless posts in this otherwise interesting thread and see if you would want to spend much time with the author.

Which posts are you referring to, and in what context are they useless? What about my posts, 90 and 91? Furthermore, what's wrong with railing on a guy who claims the authority of academia for old, worn out, pseudo-scientific theories about the "lost tribes" of Israel? What's "bad" about my attitude, and what's so good about yours?

[Hemlock]

Wow, now that's what I was picturing. Makes you want to join the Tuatha de Dannan.

"Makes you want to join the Tuatha de Dannan."

You may already be a member. lol.
