Celtic/Hebrew Connection

A highly respected Danish linguistic expert, Dr. Ann Kristensen, has reached the same conclusion (that we have proclaimed for years) that the Cimmerians, who later became the Celts, can be positively identified as a section of the so-called “Lost Ten Tribes of Israel” in deportation.

Dr. Kristensen was skeptical at first, but the more she researched Assyrian sources, the more she found that the Cimmerians made their first appearance in recorded history around 714 B.C. in the very area of modern Iran where the Assyrians had settled the deported tribes of Israel a few years earlier. She concludes that the Gimira, or Cimmerians, are lost Israelites.

In “WHO WERE THE CIMMERIANS AND WHERE DID THEY COME FROM” – translated by Jorgen Laessoe of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, Dr. Kristensen wrote:

“There is scarcely any reason any longer to doubt the exciting and verily astonishing assertion propounded by students of the Ten Tribes, that the Israelites deported from Bit Humria of the House of Omri are identical with the Gimirraja of the Assyrian sources. Everything indicates that the Israelite deportees did not vanish from the picture but that, abroad, under new conditions, they continued to leave their mark on History.
