1. British King George VI believed in British Israel!
http://www.nordiskisrael.dk/
George VI, King of the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth 1936-52 and Emperor of India 1936-47, who wrote:
"I am sure the British Israelite business is true. I have read a lot about it lately and everything no matter how large or small points to our being 'the chosen race'."

2. Swedish Scholar (1751), Johannes Eurenius, traced Swedes and Goths to Scythians and the Ten Tribes.
Atlantica Orientalis 2010 Foreword
In Atlantica Orientalis (pub. 1751) the Swedish Lutheran-Evangelical Pastor Johannes Eurenius (1688-1751) describes that the Swedes and Goths are the descendants of the dispersed tribes of Israel, who were deported out of the land of Israel app. 721 BC. When the Israelites had migrated to Russia, they became known as Scythians, and eventually they ended up in northern Europe where they became known as Swedes, Goths, and the tribes related to them.
Eurenius writes that the Greek legend of the lost land of Atlantis actually is a folk memory of the Israelites' lost land from which they had been deported, and that Atlantis therefore actually refers to the land of Israel/Palestine. Hence the title of the book.
Atlantica Orientalis was also published in a Latin translation in 1764.

3. Mark Williams: The Hebrew word Machir and its English Derivatives
Subject: Is Machir the Origin of the English words "Market", "Merchant",
etc?
Either via the supposed Indo-European language Latin word "Mercor" (to
buy), which is also the root of other merchant related words, or
directly.
I bet no one's ever looked at the similarities between some Latin and
Hebrew words.

5. Why America Is Called America by JOHN NOBLE WILFORD

Extracts:
On a lower stretch of the southern continent, the mapmakers inscribed the name 'America' in the mistaken belief that Amerigo Vespucci, not Columbus, deserved credit for first sighting a part of that continent, South America.
Or possibly they favored Vespucci because he held more firmly to the growing consensus that this was indeed a New World, not the Indies (as Columbus so wanted to believe), and because he wrote more colorfully than Columbus about the people he encountered.
