Cimmerians, Scythians and the “Lost” Tribes of Israel–Part One (Resources & Notes)

The references and resources for this subject are numerous and many can be found on the internet today.  The following are a few of the resources reviewed on the subject of the Cimmerians and Scythians.

[Note:  Some historians offer two general explanations relating the Cimmerians and Scythians to the people of ancient Israel. These explanations are based on the use of a biblical premise and the use of a presumptive historical premise based on British-Israelism.  With the biblical premise being sufficient to prove the current existence of the twelve tribes it is incongruous to use a presumptive conclusion identifying the United States and Britain with the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim respectively.  Using a conclusion as a premise formulates circular reasoning and unsupported conclusions.]   (Cimmerians, Scythians and the “Lost” Tribes of Israel–Part One)
