Some Israelite Tribal Characteristics
Continued from Nordic Hebrews-2
Brit-Am Preface.
This is the third and final portion of summary of the book by S. Gusten Olson, "The Incredible NORDIC ORIIGNS," England, 1985.
Among other matters of importance the author identified different nationalities and ethnicites with Israleite Tribes and compares their known characteristics with those of Israelite Tribes. We have done the same. Our results are similar to those of S. Gusten Olson but on some points we differ or rather diverge somewhat since the differences once one looks into them are not that great.
