So what do you make of the scythian connections to gaelic/gaulic cultures? They share the same brass work and distinct styles of jewelry. How's about the fact that the anatolian steppe herder genetics that spawned celtic culture are found in the Caucus mountain area, and have been confirmed to be shared with present European populations? What's to make of the fact that Europe is named after a Phoenician goddess?

Are there in your view no other examples of such parallels between different pairs? And if you can find such examples do they all match up towards similar conclusions as what you are pushing here?
- arethuza 4y agoThe 14th century Declaration of Arbroath repeats the claim that the Scots came from Scythia: "They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today."
