1. Ten Tribes Identifications are Not Widely known!
I attended Roman Catholic Church REGULARLY for almost TWENTY YEARS. During that time ABSOLUTELY nothing was ever said about the lost tribes of Israel in Church. The various Protestant denominations are the same-absolute silence. I once broached the subject with a friend of mine who is Jewish,he said "Well, I don't believe that!" Then he advised me not to talk about it outside. So,as a consequence, only very,very few people know...

2. Gomer and Israel in the Book of Hosea. - F. E. Peiser
Felix Ernst Peiser (1862-1921) wrote that the marriage of the Prophet Hosea and Gomer symbolized that the House of Israel would become known as "Gomer", a Cimmerian. A son of the couple is called Jezreel, which in Hebrew means that "which HaShem has planted" or HaShem "will sow". Jezreel in Prophecy refers to the House of Israel, while Zion refers to the House of Judah. Hosea was also the name of the last king of the House of Israel. Some scriptures about Jezreel 1 Kings 18:46;21:1:22:39;2 Kings 9:15, Joshua 19:18;1 Kings 21:23;2 Kings 8:29:2 Kings 9:10;2 Kings 10:1. Peiser believed that the deported Israelites would become known as Gomerians or Cimmerians or join up with that people. I know from a conversation I had with a Welsh-born lady that "Cymry" is pronounced "Kum-ree" by the Welsh, which is "Bit Khumri" in the old Assyrian monuments. King Omri's name can be rendered as "Gomri" or "Gomeri" . "Gamar" in Hebrew means a sheaf. The English have a mythical ancestor called Scheaf,old English for a "sheaf".

3. Cimmerians, Scandinavia, and Myceneans
Here are some books that provide info on early Denmark [Danmark]: Mycenaeans by Rodney Castleden The Prehistory of Denmark by Jorgen Jensen Before Civilization by Colin Renfrew Gesta Danorum by Saxo Grammaticus mentions possible link to Danai of Greece.
From the research paper "Nordic Razor and the Mycenaean Lifestyle" by F. Kaul The Scandinavian warrior class consciously adopted elements of the Mycenaean warrior. I believe the National Museum of Denmark has a bronze razor which has antecedents to the Aegean. Also, 59 samples of amber from the tholoi of Kakovatos [in Greece]-46 have been identified as Baltic amber.
Some other stuff on the Cimbri of Denmark. They had priestesses that used to slit the throats of prisoners of war and let their blood fall into a bowl. This practice was similar to the Scythians and Tauri [connected to Cimmerians]. The priestesses were old and clad in white. An Arab historian,Ahmad ibn Fadlan, recorded the Viking practice of an old woman "angel of death" who stabs a girl to death. The ancient Tauri sacrificed shipwrecked sailors on their coasts,c.f. the play "Iphigenia of Tauris" by the ancient Greek writer Aeschylus.Pliny said that the Cimbri were Ingwines "friends of Ing" and there have been endless debates over whether the Cimbri were Celtic or Germanic [or Scythian-Cimmerian:Plutarch]. The ancient English called themselves Ingfolc "Folk of Ing". The Cimbri also worshipped a bull idol possibly like those at Bethel and Dan in ancient Israel. The Tauri near the Kertsch or Kerch in the Ukraine have been linked to the Taurini of ancient Switzerland. The Tauri were neighbours of the Cimmerians in the east around the Sea of Azov. Taurus can mean a bull and the Swiss Taurini are connected with a bull on their coat of arms. Could this link to the idol worship of the Cimbri like in the House of Israel.

4. Cimmerians and Scythians
The book "The Sculptures and Inscription of Darius the Great on the Rock of Behistun in Persia" by King,L.W.;Thompson.R.Campbell (1907) contains a full and careful translation of the trilingual stone of Behistun inscription. In the Book, an interesting fact is that the Saka name is equivalent to the Kimiri. Also, the Saka inhabit a province of the Persian Empire. Darius takes them to task because of their refusal to worship the Iranian god "Ahura Mazda" probably indicating they were not Iranians. Many of the names of peoples in the old Persian Empire end in -a,so possibly the original name of the Saka was "Sak".The Norse men worshipped the God Tyr. Tyr was symbolized by an arrow shaped rune symbol. The word "Tir" in old Persian means an arrow. Tir was also a god of the ancient Iranians.
From the book "A Dissertation on the Geography of Herodotus" by Barthold Georg Niebuhr we read "These Cimbri are the Galatae of the Olbian inscription,though they were as yet confined to the right bank of the Borysthenes".Olbia is a city in the Ukraine.

An old book "Origines Celticae (a Fragment) and other Contributions to the History of Britain by Edwin Guest" mentions an inscription found at Olbia near the mouth of the Borysthenes (Dnieper),the Galatai are mentioned as one of the most formidable enemies of the Greek colony." "Galatai appear to be a tribe settled somewhere west of the Dniester-that is in the very district in which we might expect the fugitive Kimmerioi to take refuge" Herodotus visited Olbia in the Ukraine. The Dneister River was called the Tyras River in ancient times. There was a city of Tyras at the mouth of the Dneister on the Black Sea. Herodotus mentioned the Cimmerians near Hyras which Rawlinson takes to be Tyras. So the Cimmerians and Galatae appear in the same area. The Gundestrup caldron of Denmark was unearthed in the region of the Danish Cimbri-it is La Tene culture and has an image of Cernunnos embossed on it.
Skilurus ,a Scythian King, ruled over Tauri[situated near the Cimmerians] 2nd c. bce. On Wikipedia he is shown wearing a Persian cap,very similar to that worn by King Jehu on the Black Obelisk of Shalmanezer III. If the Latin "-us " suffix is removed from his name, it appears to be a Scandinavian name. Compare to Erikur <-> Skilur <-> Erik. Possibly there is a -ur Norse suffix [like-r or -ir] in Skilur and his name becomes Skil or Skyl. Compare this name to the Skyldings[Skyl-dings], an ancient dynasty of the Danes. Erikur is another version of the Scandinavian name Erik. Compare the name of the ancient Assyrian King Arik-Den-Ili
Plutarch believed that the Cimbri of Denmark were a mix of Galatae with Scythians. He called them Gallo-Scythians.They originated near the Maeotic Lake [Sea of Azov] in the east[where the Cimmerians,Scythians and Milesians were]. The Maeotes [Maeotic Marshes] are mentioned in the travels of the Milesians,so there were Gaels/Gauls living in the east who followed the Scythians west.Appian explicitly called the Cimbri "Celtic". Diodorus Siculus "Diodorus of Sicily" said the Cimbri were the Cimmerians. Diodorus said the Cimbri or Kymri were Galli.The Leabhar Gabala Erin mention the Gaethlaighe Meotacda -a reference to the Maeotian swamps near the Cimmerians;the Gaels lived here. They also claim descent from Gomer.The Kertch was called the Cimmerian Strait. Aeschylus also linked Maeotis with the Cimmerians in "Prometheus Bound". The Gaels called the Black Sea the "Cimmerian Sea". The Gaels split into two factions in the Leabhar Gabala. I believe that RAS. MacAlister said that Reffloir the Gael had a Scandinavian name-possibly this is due to the -ir or -r ending,but not certain. Reffloir stayed behind in Armenia where his followers may later have joined up with the Cimmerians, but some of the Gaels claimed descent from Gomer.

5. Scythians and Anglo-Saxons
The English and possibly German Saxons near Hannover [once a British possession] were connected to Denmark in Ancient times. They are often connected to the Sacae of ancient North western Iran and Armenia. The ancient historian Chaerilus of Iasos in Caria who accompanied Alexander the Great said of them "sheep-herding Sacae, Scythian by descent,but living in wheat-bearing Asia. They were colonists of the nomads, a law-abiding people" The Cambridge Ancient History Vol. 4 John Boardman Persika,fragm 3. See also "The Origin of the Indo-Iranians" by Elena Efimovna Kuz'mina.
The Book "German Antiquity in Renaissance Myth" by Frank L. Borchardt, a former Professor at Duke University, mentions that the Saxons had a tradition that they were a "Father of Nations". This sounds very similar to the promise to Abraham "a father of many nations". Also, Rebecca,wife of Isaac, is told to become a "Mother of Nations". The Saxons helped the Queen of Babylon conquer many lands and served in the army of Alexander the Great before heading northwards to Germany and the lands of the Wends [Polish,next to Sweden],another group fled to Denmark. They had their origins with Petroculus of Cilicia.

6. Irish-Norse Mythology Parallelism
In Norse myth "Garmr" is a dog that guards the entrance to Hel [underworld]. In Greek myth, Cerberus is a dog that guards the entrance to the underworld. The death of Balor from Lugh in Irish myth has been linked to the death of Baldur from Loki in Norse myth.
Dagda,son of the goddess Danu is often paralleled with Perseus, the son of Danae,princess of Argos, Greece during the bronze age.
