1. Venicones - Phoenicians - Phuni of Issachar. Venicones (of Britain and Ireland). Yair (irian) and Land of Og (Bashan) in ireland.
Here is some more stuff from memory[please check if you wish and have time, my memory may be slightly off]: Votadini has the Latin suffix -ini so the root word would be Votad. Venicones has a Latin suffix "-ones" so the root word would be Venic.If V-> F then Venic becomes Fenic which sounds like Feine or Phoenician "Phoinix" or "Phoenic" or "Foenic" [P->F in Irish Gaelic and silent h]. This may be the Phuni clan of Issachar, but Phoenicians from "Tsiar" and "Scadon" [Tyre and Sidon] in the east did visit Ireland for the purposes of trade. Fenius Farzaidh in Irish myth was linked to Phoenix [Phenius?],brother of Cadmus in Greek myth since they were both linguists. Cadmus was at Thebes in Greece which was founded by Ogyges. The old Irish histories refer to the Irians of Ulster as Ogeages; the land of Iair, Iahir, Jair or Yair [east Manasseh] was [originally] ruled by the giant Og or Gog[Ayin rendered as a "G" or "A":Aog or Gog]. The Irish myths speak of Tir na n'Og [Land of the Og, but Og is translated sometimes as "youth"].
2. Thebes (Greece) and the Picts and Israel.
The Pictish tribe "Creones" have a name similar to Creon of Thebes. Thebes is similar to Thebez, a city in Manasseh (Judges 9:50) [in some Bibles Thebez is literally spelled as "Thebes"]. The Pictish tribe "Caledones" have a name similar to Caledon of ancient bronze age Greece. Maybe Galaad? Caledonia was old name for Scotland. Ogyges was associated with Thebes in Greece. There was an oak of Ogyges in Israel according to Josephus Antiquities (it was located near Hebron and associated with Abraham). [Thebes -founded by Phoenicians, Ogyges associated with Okeanos (Atlantic Ocean].
3. Links of the Cimbri in Belgium and Denmark with Wales. Helvetti of Switzerland.
The Atuatuci of Belgium were a branch of the Danish Cimbri from Tacitus. The Cimbri had connections to Welsh culture. Example, morimosa [dead sea] is Welsh language,but it was associated with the Cimbri of Denmark. The Helvetti were associated with the Cimbri and Teutons and Helvetia is a name for Switzerland that appears on Swiss postage stamps. The Helvetii lived near the Jura Mountains in ancient times. Jura comes from "Jor",which means "woods" in Celtic. "Yar" or "Jar" means "woods" in Hebrew.
