[Mare Tranquilitatus]

Welcome to this thread from a mostly lurker who believes most learning takes place when listening, not when talking.  

You came onto this thread like a hyperactive precocious Mothers darling who just received a 3-volume edition of the Thrifty Drug Store Junior Encyclopedia of everthing in the world for Christmas.  I may be wrong, but I think every breathless "point" you raise has already been addressed either in this thread, or in comments by the participants in related threads.  That makes you the only one here who is unaware of this long and detailed history, which raises the pertinent question, what other history are you unaware of?

In polite society it is customary to learn what is going on in a room before bursting onto the scene like an ill timed expulsion of lower intestinal gas.  We like to think this is polite society.

So, welcome to the thread from we who mostly listen.  Open your eyes and ears, mind your manners, respect other peoples opinions like adults do, and you will do fine. Oh, and always be aware that you are not the smartest person in the room

"Tranquil Sea," right?

Anyways, touche and the point is well taken, but there was just one thing you said that stood out for me:

"You came onto this thread like a hyperactive precocious Mothers darling who just received a 3-volume edition of the Thrifty Drug Store Junior Encyclopedia of everthing in the world for Christmas."

I'll take that as compliment.

"I may be wrong, but I think every breathless 'point' you raise has already been addressed either in this thread, or in comments by the participants in related threads."

Untrue. The question of where exactly numbers that Lost Tribe is citing for the population of Israel are coming from since they are in the Bible had not been raised before in this thread, at least the way I read it.

Additionally, Pharmboy had yet to address his comments on the Assyrians or his misunderstanding of the use of the term "tribe" and what it meant in reference to the Celts.

Similarly, there is the etymology of the goddess Danu which had likewise not been addressed.

So I think you're rushing to a little bit of a premature judgement in this regard.
