About a Hundred and Fifty DNA Sources Confirming Brit-Am Beliefs!

2. Reservations
3. How do we use the findings?
4. How to Use the Lists
5. Lists of DNA Articles Proving that the LTTs are among Western Peoples
(a) List no.1. BAMAD 1 to 108
(b) List No.2 BAMAD 108 to 148
Extract:
Over the years we have taken note of numerous DNA articles that may help confirm the belief that the Lost Ten Tribes went to the west.
The facts and studies noticed do not absolutely prove the case but they greatly increase its perceived probability....
To make easier the appreciation of DNA findings concerning Israelite origins we have prepared a separate list collating the relevant findings.

Thanks for the reply. I do appreciate that. But it sounds like you are
saying your view is not based on proof, otherwise you wouldn't
problematize my asking for proof / evidence. If DNA findings are not on
your side, how are your theories different from those of the mormons
with their nephites and lamanites? Also, why not look for Israelite DNA
in the middle east, afghanistan, kashmir, north africa or other
neighboring regions ?

Shalom, in answer to points made by you:
(1. DNA is on our side. We have excerpts from about 150 DNA articles expressing viewpoints and research findings that are conventionally accepted by the scientific community. These ALL support our belief or at the least HIGHLY raise the statistical probability that we are in the right. Since we have reservations about DNA in general we do not push this information even though it would help us. Nevertheless it is there.

Do you understand DNA? Would you know it under a microscope if you saw it?
I would not. Neither would most other people even extremely very well-educated ones.
We have to rely on abstracts from Scientific papers, scientific news releases, announcement of research results, popular articles, etc. Sometimes we can supplement all this with the help of DNA e-mail discussion groups and so on.
And what if you get the feeling after a while that they may be wrong on some issues and right on others?
Are you going to argue with them?
The problem is that our understanding (and the understanding of 99.9% of the public in general) as to how all this was deduced is quite limited.
Today one scientific study publishes results apparently confirming our understanding based on Biblical and Historical studies.
Tomorrow another such study contradicts them.
One may be correct and the other not.
Or they may both be mistaken.
Or they may both be correct but in different contexts.
We naturally may decide one way or other but the decision will lack a certain degree of inner conviction since we lack the necessary background to appreciate the grounds upon which the studies have been made.
Nevertheless this is what there is and what we have. We can keep trying to understand it all better while maintaining a justified degree of healthy skepticism.
In short,
We believe in the Bible as the ultimate authority.
We use secular sources to help us understand the Bible and to illuminate certain points.
Sources that confirm our beliefs based on the Bible are naturally preferred by us.
We will not however hide from diverging opinions.
Nevertheless, we have collated hundreds of sources mainly from mainstream scientific media outlets INDICATING STRONGLY that most West Europeans descend from ancestors who had previously dwelt in the Ancient Middle East i.e. the general area of Ancient Israel. And we have lots and lots and even more than lots of proofs like this.
(2) We have no argument with the Mormons one way or the other. We think they should put more emphasis on the Lost Ten Tribes being among Western Peoples since more of their adherents come from those areas anyway.
(3) The DNA of the other regions you mentioned is easily available via Wikipedia, etc. None of the places you listed have better claims to be descended from Israelites than people from Western Europe do. Check it out.

4. Orjan Svensson: Some Linguistic Observations
Shalom,
Recently I came to the understanding that the English word "hear" (Hora in Swedish) is related to Hebrew CHOR [pronounced similarly to "HOR"], meaning a hole, and probably this word was used for the hole of the ear as well.
Note that to hear was in Gothic "hausjan" similar to the Hebrew OZEN (= ear). Also etymology of ear is listed as from "Proto-Germanic *auzon".
In the land of Israel is the town of Beth Horon, meaning house of hole or cave. Oron means "ears" in Swedish, and I believe comes probably from Hebrew Horon.
In the geography of Canaan I have now some indications that upper and lower Beth Horon symbolized or represented EARS of the bull of Ephraim.
Ayalon I think represented the front legs of the giant bull in the geography.
Ramah was the back legs.
Michmash and Beth Aven were around the genitals of the geographical bull according to indications I have. Ophra (= "place of dust") probably indicated "dust" behind the bull.
I can give more details later on how I arrived at those conclusions.
Regards,
Orjan
