1. Halstatt part two
Halstatt Civilisation in its strict sense began well after 700 BCE i.e.
after the arrival of the Cimmerians. Archaeologists have noticed "striking
analogies in weapons and ornaments, in brooches and pottery found in
Russian Armenia and the Hallstatt area of Europe"26 (Encycl. Britt.
"Archaeology", p.253). Russian Armenia means the territory held by Urartu
wherein the Cimmerians had previously established themselves. The
Cimmerians forefathered the Celts and "it is generally agreed that the
Celts came from the east by the valley of the Danube"27 (Encycl. Britt.
"Archaeology", p.253). The newcomers in the west practiced four-wheeled
chariot burials. The wheels of their chariots are unlike those previously
used in Urnfield Europe BUT the same as those of Assyrian carts from the
700s BCE as seen on palace reliefs 28 [Sandars (1976) p.47 quotes
G.Kossack (1970)].
The chariots of Halstatt civilisation had a standard gauge (3' 6" to 3'
9"), examples of which have been found in Britain, and whose origins hark
back to the city of Ur in ancient Mesopotamian Sumer. (Piggott p.246:
"The Hallstatt wagons had a narrower gauge about 3 feet 6 inches to 3 feet
9 inches and wheel ruts of this interval were also found at Maiden Castle;
it was also the gauge of the solid wheeled wagons in the Royal Tombs of Ur".
"Ur" or "Ur Chasdim" (translated as "Ur of the Chaldees", Genesis 11:31)
was the native city of the Patriarch Abraham progenitor of the Israelite
nation.
Piggott noted "how Asia Minor, Syria, and the far-off kingdom
of Urartu round Lake Van contributed to the toreutic art [i.e. metal
embossing] of prehistoric Europe"30. (Piggott p.171 ff). Piggott was
referring mainly to the Halstatt period after 600 BCE He noted both the
Greek and Phoenician influences on this art.
The term "Phoenician" includes Israelite. The Neo-Assyrian era
is associated with the re-settlement of Israelite exiles. It was noticed
that a new type of horse harness and bridle from the era of king Sargon
onwards led to a greater emphasis on the employment of cavalry (as against
chariotry) in the Assyrian armed forces. Regarding this innovation from the
700s BCE onwards, Piggot says that,
"Probably Cimmerian north Pontic peoples" were responsible for, "the
appearance of a whole group of novel metal types associated with the bridle
bits and harness of horses"....
"From the Hungarian plain to the Swiss Lakes, Belgium, the
south of France, and even Britain and Scandinavia"...
"Their distribution stretches eastward to the Caucasus, and it
has recently been pointed out that Assyrian horse bits, constantly depicted
on their monumental reliefs, change, late in the eighth century, into
versions of this same type,.."
i.e. Cimmerian migrations may be traced from the Assyrian-dominated Middle
East across Europe into Britain. They were noted for their equestrian
specialties as the exiled Israelites (with whom they are associable) had been.
Apparently referring to Cimmerian (and Scythian) influence on
the Assyrians, Urartians, and Persians, Piggot remarks:
" The Cimmerians have been invoked as an ultimate agent in the further
adoption of cavalry from the seventh century onwards by the contemporary
civilizations of antiquity" 31. Piggott p.181.
Similar traces of the Cimmerians also appear at Carcamish in north Syria on
the Euphrates and in Persia.
THE AUSTRIAN CHRONICLE, CIMMERIANS, AND ISRAEL
The early centre of Celtic Halstatt civilisation was centred
in Austria. A Latin document known as The Austrian Chronicle and purporting
to be based on ancient traditions may shed some light on Cimmerian origins
[The last entry in this Chronicle is 1404].
[1]. This source says that Central Europe had been subjected by the
Assyrians and that Jews exiled by Sennacherib were carried into Eastern
Europe along the Danube River. Beginning in ca. 707 BCE says the Chronicle,
the Jews overcame a certain King Gennan who then became Jewish;
consequently, the Jews intermarried with the local rulers in the regions of
Austria and Hungary, the pagans were subdued and the whole country was
Jewish until ca.227 c.e. This legend sounds quite far-fetched but it is
interesting to compare it with known fact: Many Jews from Judah were exiled
by Sennacherib and they appear to have joined the northern Lost Ten Tribes
in Exile and to have become identified with them; There are signs in Europe
at this time of Assyrian influence; the Cimmerians (who at the least
included Israelites amongst them) did come westward in the period ca.
700-650 BCE and did gain control; A Cimmerian-Celtic presence may have
remained more or less dominant in the area of Austria up until the late
date ascribed to Jewish suzerainty.
Homer and the Greek Orpheus (in ca.500 BCE) recorded a Cimmerian
presence in Britain.
According to Wagner,
"Early Celtic civilization seems to have its roots in the
civilization of the North Balkans (Thrace), Asia Minor, and the adjacent
Iranian and Mesopotamian areas. This does not exclude the possibility of
certain features of insular Celtic civilization having either a very old
Western European background or direct links with North Africa"43. (Wagner p.44).
CELTIC ART.
Jacobstaht distinguished three components of Celtic (chiefly
La Tene) art:
(1.Geometric features which were oriental but seem to have been derived or
at least have been influenced by North Italian prototypes.
(2. Floral features which were imitations of Greek examples.
(3. A definite eastern component whose origin is unexplained. Jacobstaht
stated that early Celtic art has no Genesis66. Celtic works of
orientalising style are not just copies of Persian or Scythian patterns but
have their own style which developed from the same background67.

of Celtic Races", by Yair Davidy, 1996, Jerusalem.
2. "The Tribes", Thank You.
Thank you ever so much for this book!! I enjoyed reading about the role of England during ww2, at this time my mum worked with Sir Winston in the british admiralty, so everything i learned at an early age about England had a bit of a bias. As they were bombing London and my father had been killed, i was placed in a Catholic Convent ....during this time i saw a painting of the lion of Judah. I felt drawn and attracted to it. in later years have done family research on my side and hubby's side and amazed to find he too goes back to England. I was reading the Bible one day and saw the words " is this not written in the book of Asher? which led me to Josephus and other writings, after spending a year in the study of Genesis I thought there is more. ...One day while just looking through Search on the Internet I found your site. This has been such a blessing, and amazment at how much research you have done and your grasp of understanding and I thank you for your efforts. A.
3. The Messianic Era and the Resurrection: Will There be Room for Everybody?
Question:
From: "Keith, Brent"
Yair,
I have a question if you don't mind, it is concerning the Messianic era, the
resurrection, and the logistics of the Lost Tribes and Judah occupying the
land. Perhaps this is a naïve question but what is the Jewish understanding
of the resurrection and how could logistically all those of the Lost Tribes,
attached Gentiles, and Judah, throughout history, fit into the Promised
Land. Is it the "spiritual" nature of the resurrection that allows this?
Thanks for any time and/or answers you may provide. God Bless.

Answer:
Brent Shalom,
I am no more an expert in these matters than you are. If it says in the Bible that something will
happen then so it will. You can rely on the Master of Creation to be able to make do
with what HE has created.
Theoretically I do not see that your question poses a great problem.
I understand that statistically a good portion (maybe most?) of the people who have ever lived
are living now.
We are speaking of the Promised Land from the Nile to the Euphrates,
Cyprus, Syria. Lebanon, parts of Southern Turkey, Iraq, Jordan and other areas.
The climate will change, the area will be much more fertile.
Already this is beginning to happen before our eyes.
The Yatir Forest in the Southern Hebron Hills (a former semi-desert area) is now spreading
naturally at a very fast rate.
In addition to the above we also have indications that not all the Israelites
will return to the above borders but only representatives from each family
[Jeremiah 3:14] TURN, O BACKSLIDING CHILDREN, SAITH THE LORD; FOR I AM MARRIED UNTO YOU:
AND I WILL TAKE YOU ONE OF A CITY, AND TWO OF A FAMILY, AND I WILL BRING YOU TO ZION:
Also other sources say that the holiness of the Land of Israel will spread to other parts of the world.
4. What is "Identity"?
From: Beit Yosef
Subject: "Identity"
Shalom, Yair.
Some times I try to explain to people what this whole Two House thing is about, and they ask me if I am aligned with the "Identity" movement.
I don't know what they are asking, so I don't know what to tell them.
In your understanding, is this "Identity"?
Or what is "Identity"?
Thanks much,
Yosef
Answer:
Shalom,
Your best bet is to ask the people speaking to you to be more precise.
Apart from that in common parlance "Identity" is often used to refer to
the scumbags who give us a bad name.
Most of those who believe along our lines concerning the identity of the Lost Ten
Tribes in the West are strongly favorable towards the Jews and the State of Israel.
There exists however a minority of reprobates, perverts, and no-good lowlifes who are anti-Semitic.
[They even published a whole 47-page booklet in 1995 attacking that classic wondrous work of ours,
"The Tribes". How low can one get?].
Anyway these pathological cases are often criminal types who have committed hate crimes and even murders.
They get a lot of publicity and are the darlings of the Pink press.
This is what is sometimes intended by the term "Identity".
5. Purim and Haman
In Jerusalem over the next three days we will celebrating in different ways the
Feast of Purim.
As we pointed out in our Biblical Studies this feast has significance in light of the role
of Saul, King Agag of the Amalekites, and the descendants of Saul, Mordecai and
Esther and the descendant of Agag, Haman.
I stated that "Kish" was another name for Saul whereas in fact Kish was his father
(1-Samuel 9:1). Further clarification later.
Haman in the Book of Esther is the descendant of Agag who attempts to exterminate the
Jewish people.
It may be a coincidence but the family name "Hamman" was that of an SS officer in charge of
exterminating the Jews of Lithuania.
A Nazi document says:
"The goal of clearing Lithuania of Jews could be achieved only through the establishment of a specially selected Mobile Commando under
the command of SS Obersturmfuhrer Hamman, who adopted my aims [of complete elimination] fully and was able to ensure the co-operation of the Lithuanian partisans and civil authorities concerned" "Robert S. Wistrich, "Hitler and the Holocaust. How and Why the Holocaust Happened" (2001) p.100.
