Now Available: "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" (The Hebraic Ancestry of Celtic Races) by Yair Davidy (author of "The Tribes" and of "Ephraim" ).. Many peoples of West European descent are of Celtic origin -at least in part. "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" reveals that amongst the Celts (and other West Europeans) were Israelite Tribes who had been exiled, and in the course of time had migrated westward. They had changed much of their religion and culture. Nevertheless they still often retained traditions of their Israelite Identity as well as Israelite Tribal and Clan names and some linguistic features. It is possible to trace the paths of their migration from the Middle East westward and their subsequent development. This means in effect that many people in the west today are physically Hebrews. Some will not like this idea nor its implications but this book is for those who have an open mind and are prepared to face serious conceptual challenge. This is an exciting and important work. Using proofs derived from archaeological research, Biblical evidence, mythology, and Classical Writings "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" provides a framework of evidence in which each field complements the other. In years to come the truth of "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" will become more and more apparent. Whatever other evidence is revealed this present book will probably remain the basic work in this field. "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" is divided into three sections: 1. It is described how ten out of the original 12 Tribes separated from the others and formed their own kingdom in the north the inhabitants of which were all exiled by the Assyrians. In their places of exile the Israelites became identified with the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Goths. The Cimmerians in an Assyrian inscription were referred to as "Amurru" meaning in effect at that time as ISRAELITES! The different exiled Israelite groups eventually migrated in stages to the north and west. The emphasis in "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" is on the Cimmerians and the Celtic peoples many of whom were of Israelite-Cimmerian derivation. 2. The second part of "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" consists of historical flashbacks in time followed by further analysis of the Assyrian-directed exile. The historical phenomena studied have significance concerning the ultimate destiny of the Exiles and add depth to the rest of the evidence adduced in "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY". The ancient Hebrew-Israelites were descended from Shem from whom came the Sumerians in Mesopotamia, founders of early civilisation. Abraham the first Hebrew was a wandering prince whose descendants went down into Egypt where they became identified with the "Hycsos" shepherd-kings. After being enslaved they were freed from Egypt and journeyed to Canaan which they conquered gaining dominance over most of the Middle East. They established settlements in north Syria as well as in "Palestine" proper. They influenced Greek and Egyptian history and are identifiable with the "Sea-Peoples". Some Israelite Tribes participated in Phoenician maritime activity and early western contacts (reaching as far as Scandinavia) were established. Later Israel was conquered and "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" relates how the Assyrians not only exiled most of the Israelites to the north where they became identifiable with the Cimmerians and company. They also took control of the Phoenician sea-faring set-up and through its agency transported Israelites directly to the west and re-settled them in Spain and elsewhere. In the course of time the exiles in Spain linked up with their Hebrew brethren in the Cimmerian-Celtic forces that advanced overland from the Middle East. From Spain they moved out into Gaul and the British Isles. Evidence for most of the above is mainly derived from Biblical, archaeological, and written sources, all of which are adequately referenced. 3. The third part of "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" shows how Celtic (mainly Irish) legends confirm all of the account given above sometimes going into precise detail. Often information is given in these legends that has only recently confirmed by archaeology etc. This proves the truth of their tradition. The Celts preserved names of Hebrew Tribes and places. In the Celtic languages of the British Isles there is an underlying Semitic grammatical structure. Much of the vocabulary of Welsh is Hebrew. In the past, from pre-Christian times, some of the ancient Irish, Scotts, and Welsh practised aspects of the Mosaic Law and in Scotland continued to do so until fairly recently. Overall, "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" definitely does prove that amongst the ancient Celtic peoples there must have been many of Israelite descent who were qualitatively significant. The information contained in "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" is essential in order to understand the true past (and future destiny) of peoples in Northwest Europe and especially those of the British Isles and their kin over the seas. The book (like all our works) contains extremely important information that is either not available elsewhere or is otherwise difficult to obtain. Nevertheless all facts given are verifiable. An Appendix of "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" gives verbatim extracts from Celtic Mythology so that the really-interested (or sceptical) reader may judge for himself the veracity of Israelite origin as affirmed in the pages of "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" . "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" has 452 pages including Maps and Illustrations. We repeat, "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" contains validly-referenced proofs that can be academically verified and VITAL information that is almost unavailable elsewhere. "LOST ISRAELITE IDENTITY" has an Approbation from RABBI ABRAHAM FELD of the Maccabee Institute in Jerusalem, Israel.
