There is also another, and quite fantastic, genealogy of the Celtic people. They are supposed to have Semitic ancestry somehow tied to the lost ten tribes of Israel. The Iberian Peninsula taking its name from them, Iber = Hebrew, also the Hebrides Islands (Scotland), the ancient name of Ireland, Hibernia.
The Scotland declaration of Independence is supposed to make this claim. Scythia being the area they migrated to from northern Iraq, after being carried away captive by the Assyrians. Scythia having two strains of racial stock, the Japheth strain and these Semitics, the Celts descending from the latter.
Even if it were true, I don’t know that it is anything to be proud of. They were such a rebellious lot God didn’t think highly of them.
Of Celtic blood myself, it makes interesting reading. Not worth much, that and a dollar will buy you a cup of coffee.
There are plenty of unusual claims, such as Scota being an Egyptian princess. Scota, Scotland.
Anyone who’s had some success at carrying personal genealogy back a ways, or even a halfway honest history buff will tell you that there is no people who come out completely smelling like a rose. You get the good and the bad, sometimes all tangled up in one individual.
