Shalom Yair.
You have done an excellent job in sharing research that should bring a close to the polemics.

2. The Greatness of Egypt and the Mother of Joseph
While looking for something else we came across the following past comment of ours
which in view of recent discussion is worth recalling:
[Genesis 41:50] AND UNTO JOSEPH WERE BORN TWO SONS BEFORE THE YEARS OF FAMINE CAME, WHICH ASENATH THE DAUGHTER OF POTIPHERAH PRIEST OF ON BARE UNTO HIM.
His wife was an Egyptian. Nowadays we no longer use the old methods of racial classification but these methods are still considered pertinent to a degree. The problem with them is that environmental effects over a long period of time influence them. At all events according to the old methods people of British origin are 50% of Mediterranean type and 50% Nordic. The earliest skull shapes of Britain in its earliest civilized period were said to be identical with Egyptian ones.
The Egyptian culture was a very advanced one. There is a tendency to downplay it possibly due to unconscious prejudices.
Martin Bernal wrote a very important work "Black Athens". In it he demonstrates the importance of Ancient Egypt and ancient Semitic civilization (i.e. Hebrew?) on Greek civilization. He shows how sheer racial prejudice caused "objective" scholars to ignore the evidence that Ancient Greece took much of its civilization from Egypt and the Middle East. Replies have been made to the claims of Bernal and perhaps he did exaggerate but it is hard to escape the impression that he had made a valid point. Bernal was only saying what the Greeks themselves admitted.

7. Question about the Basques of Spain

Hello, My name is C and I am new to your site and so I don't know to much of what you are saying here and I am a slow reader but (anyway) I'm learning some,and if I may ask? What can you tell of the Basque people ? My husband says that his brother said that we come from some of this line. We are hispanic mixed with French, Spanish, Irish, American Indian ( I forgot of what Indian tribes ). I also have another brother in-law that has been looking into the family gyneology, and said we have some kind of Jewish blood line in us as well. So I'ld like to know how any of these mixes (if any) fit into the Hebraic roots . I'm asking because Ive been drawn in this dirrection. Thank you.
Answer:
Concerning the Basques I cannot tell you much.
Until recently DNA experts claimed the Basques were related to the Welsh and Irish
but recently they have changed their mind again, at least partially.
Historically members of the Lost Ten Tribes settled very heavily in what is now the Basque area.
They may have intermixed. National characteristics however as far as I know do not show much resemblance.
Many Israelites and people of Jewish origin may have settled in Spain and Portugal but they did not exert
a dominating influence. Somehow or other they may have mostly moved out as happened in other regions of
Europe.
They do not meet much of the Brit-Am Ephraimite Criteria.

Most of the other lineages you mentioned do meet the Criteria.
This in addition tot he fact that you are drawn to this subject
suggest strongly that you are of Israelite origin.
