>If we can get a large enough DNA data base, we will probably find the Lost Tribes.
The population numbers of the Israelites (shown at my Profile) are startling. The Lost Tribes were in reality SO LARGE that there is little chance they could just disappear from history. They certainly were no scruffy little band of camel drivers sitting around a campfire at on oasis, picking their noses.
There is a very easy way to determine if the Celts are indeed the "Lost Tribes of Israel." Do nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analyses of present-day Jews (both the European derived Ashkenazi and the Mediterranean-derived Sephardic) and see if there are any similarities that can date them all back to around 2700 or so years ago. Quite reliable.
