> m. le loyer's the ten lost tribes, published in 1590, provided one of the earliest expressions of the belief that the anglo-saxon, celtic, scandinavian, germanic, and associated peoples are the direct descendants of the old testament israelites. anglo-israelism has also been attributed to francis drake and king james vi and i, who believed he was the king of israel   tish_israelism one proof that the house of israel = scythians and cimmerians (white men who where progenitors of the saxons and celts) is found in the behistun rock inscription , created by darius the great of persia. > the rock carries on its face an important cuneiform inscription of darius hystaspes (darius the great). this inscription, which was cut circa 516 b.c., records in three languages  persian, susian, and babylonian. in the persian and susian versions one of these provinces is called scythia, the root of which is, phonetically, sak. in the babylonian text this province is called (matu) gi-mi-ri, translated land of the cimmerians. sir henry rawlinson, who first copied and translated the inscription  although not disposed firstly to identify these gimiri with the cimmerians (kimmerii or cumri)  was prepared to accept the probability of a connection between them. the behistun rock inscription establishes that the sacae lived in the land of the cimmerians (modern north-west persia) and that they formed part of the agglomeration of peoples known to the ancients as scythians (or skythians or skuths). > we have reasonable grounds for regarding the gimirri, or cimmerians, the sacae of the behistun rock, along with the beth-khumree of samaria, all being the same people or also known as the ten tribes of the house of israel. -george rawlinson, notes in his translation of history of herodotus, book vii, p. 378   m/anglo-saxon-celts-were-israelites .html
