That's a pretty good site. I refer people to it all the time. But you clearly need to actually READ the site and see how much it confirms.
I send you TWO sites with consistent information on the origins of the Celts and you totally ignore all that is containded therein! There is NOTHING about semites on those sources.
Now, instead of continuing to duck the topic by cutting and pasting from someone elses site, tell us all, in your own words, SPECIFICALLY where you find "nonesense". Let's take the first 5 paragraphs first to keep it organized.
I did not "cut and paste" anything; all that I posted was taken as a block from the sites; I provided the links, go see for yourself...
Time has come to put your money where your mouth is. It's your move:
3-MINUTE HISTORY OF THE ISRAELITES
Four Thousand years ago, Abraham (a great-great grandson of Shem, a son of Noah) and a small group of Hebrews (of which there were & are many varieties) migrated from southern Iraq to Canaan (~Palestine). Several generations later, around 1853 BC, his Grandson Jacob (who was renamed Israel) and his 12 Sons and families moved to Egypt. As offspring of Shem, they were called "Shemites" or "Semites", as were his many other offspring.
Assigning strict dates ("around 1853 BC") is laughable when it come to the Old Testament; further, using the OT as an accurate historical document is plain silly.
~1453 BC, now as the 12 Tribes of the 12 Sons of Israel, and over 3 Million strong,
3 million strong? Oh really? Where do you get this stuff from??
these Semites bailed out of Egypt in the well-documented overland EXODUS and fled back to ~Palestine. But the Tribes "couldn't all get along" there, so ~922 BC these 5 Million Israelites split into the Northern and Southern Kingdoms.
(In actual numbers, 5 Million people is about the same size as Ireland, Norway, Denmark or Israel today, and was 10% of the estimated 50 Million world population at that time. The world population is now ONE HUNDRED TIMES as large. Compared to todays 6 Billion people, the Israelites relative population would have been over twice as large as the United States of America!)
Where did we get 5 million people? You can't just make this stuff up--there are such things as FACTS (something with which you are not well-acquainted).
The very large Northern Kingdom of Israel was made up of 10 of the Tribes. Inheriting the Kingly names which applied to all 12 Tribes before the split, the Northern Kingdom (alone) becomes known as the Kingdom of Israel or House of Israel, (also House of Joseph, House of Ephriam, House of Isaac, and House of Omri), and is led by the northern Tribe of Ephraim.
Two hundred years later these Northern Israelites were taken into captivity by the Assyrians (~722 BC) and relocated to the northern Fertile Crescent area of Iraq/Iran. They were not diligent in updating their eMail addresses, thus were called, by some, the "Lost Tribes", or "Lost Sheep" or "Lost Children" of the Kingdom or House of Israel. (However at ~1/12 or more of the worlds population it seems unlikely they would actually disappear, or get "lost". The global population now ~75 Million.)
A hundred years later, this "lost" Northern Kingdom of Israel with now over 6 Million Israelites helped the Medes and Persians overthrow the Assyrians, then escaped north through the Caucasus Mountains and around the Black and Caspian Seas, to explode into history ~610 BC as The Celts.
This is my FAVORITE part...reference for this idiocy?? The Celts had been around for a while--but if they spoke a language anywhere resembling a semitic tongue, then it would be interesting, but this is a loser; get over it.
These Celts mixed with (and fought against) each other, and with other scattered Israelites (proto-Celts) who had escaped from Egypt by sea nearly a thousand years earlier, before the overland Exodus. Also, with other Israelites who migrated from Palestine after the overland Exodus but before the Assyrian captivity and who had already established numerous outposts in Europe and elsewhere.
Pure Barbra Streisand.
Now please, stop annoying everyone with your posting and contant reposting of the same nonsense. Thanks--we appreciate it.
That's all I need to know. Goodbye. Have a Merry whateveritis you may believe in.
Where do you come off with this arrogance, sonny? This is an open board so only the owner decides who posts and what. Either post your Title Documents to Free Republic or stifle yourself. Don't like it here, there are lots of other threads to visit and make enemies.
