A Letter from Catherine and our Reply to it.

Duration: 20.51 minutes.
The Prophet Amos describes children of Israelites separated from their parents and taken away in ships. Phoenician and Philistine allies of the Assyrians took Israelites into captivity to work mining enterprises overseas. This included children to work the Great Orme copper mine in Wales.

Subject: Wales
From: Catherine

Hi Yair
I am very interested in what you are discussing regarding the Lost
Tribes of Israel and the link to Wales. You mentioned in your talk that
there are verses in the Torah that are very similar to the Welsh
language. I would really love to check that out for myself.
Would you happen to know which verses these are. I have a basic
understand of Hebrew and Welsh.
Are you familiar with the DNA collected near Caer Seion in North Wales,
here is the link https://dnaconsultants.com/when-wales-was-jewish/
I look forward to your reply
Regards
Cath

Amongst other matters the article said:

# As is well known, Haplogroup E1b1b1 accounts for approximately 18% to 20% of Ashkenazi and 8.6% to 30% of Sephardic Y-chromosomes. This North African type appears to be one of the major founding lineages of the Jewish population.[i]
In Britain, this quintessential Jewish type (together with J, another telltale sign of Middle Eastern roots) is absent or negligible in many towns and regions but reported in elevated frequencies in Wales....

In 2011, Llangefni  and Wrexham in North Wales became the focus of a call for local men to provide samples of their unusual DNA. A team of scientists lead by Andy Grierson and Robert Johnston from the University of Sheffield hoped to link the migration of men from the Mediterranean to the copper mined at Parys Mountain on Anglesey and on the Great Orme promontory nearby. A preliminary analysis of 500 participants showed 30% of the men carried E1b1b, compared to 1% of men elsewhere in the United Kingdom.[iv]

Significantly, Welsh tradition associates the Iron Age hilltop town on Conwy Mountain known as Castell Caer Seion with a settlement of ancient Jews. This site overlooks Conwy Bay on the north coast of Wales and lies on the ancient road between Prestatyn in Denbighshire and Bangor in Gwynedd opposite Angelsey.  In the Black Book of Caermarthen, the Welsh national bard Taliesin casually remarks in the persona of the battling hero,

When I return from Caer Seon,

From contending with Jews,

I will come to the city of Lleu and Gwidion.[v]
