1. Comparing Ancient Peoples with present-day Celtic (Irish) and Englishmen.
Please compare the following summaries of two brief Video Clips.
(a) What Does the Average Irish Face Reveal About Ancestry?

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/x7o2XMHEWJM

The video clip above Shows a similarity in facial features between Celtic Peoples of Ireland, Wales, and Scotland and those of Ancient Anatolia (Eastern-Central Turkey). It in effect equates the Neolthic (Stone-Age) Peoples of Ireland and the British Isles with those of Anatolia. As we see above they looked alike and it is generally agreed that the early Neolithic Peoples of Europe originally derived from Turkey.The Neolithic Peoples were much darker but the difference between then and now is explained as due to environmental adaptation.

DNA results however say that the Celtic-speaking descended groups of Britain are the least likely to be of Neolithic descent. This is despite the noted alleged similarity in facial features. They are in fact more "steppe-related" (i.e. Bell Beakers) than the others.

(b) The Second Video Clip.

What Does a Prototypical English Face Reveal About Ancestry?

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fHsjbC5oq9U

The 2nd clip above shows a similarity between an English face and that of the early Bell Beakers. According to DNA however the two clips should be switched around!! Someone should tell them!

# According to a 2024 study, Neolithic farmer ancestries are highest in modern southern and eastern England but lower in Scotland, Wales and Cornwall. Steppe-related ancestries are inversely distributed, peaking in Scotland, Outer Hebrides and Ireland. #

Historically the Western celts (Irish, Welsh, and Scots) are considered to be descended from the Bell-Beaker group (BBs) or rather cousins of theirs (Bell Beaker Cousins, BBCs). These were fairskinned, possibly fair or red-haired, and had round heads. The present Celtic peoples who came after them all had longheads. Where did the round heads go? Head-shape may be determined by environment and perhaps this is one of the proofs of it?

Commentary:

Facial features are an outcome of environment combined with heredity and other factors.
Similar faces do not mean that the subjects are related but it can indicate the possibility and strengthen its acceptability once other factors help confirm it.
Ancient Anatolia was in effect at some stages under the control of Israelites and overlapped with the North of Israel. See Maps below.
Not only that but the DNA of Kurds, Turks, Armenians, and Ashkenazi Jews is similar. If ancient Anatolian Turks looked like that then so would a part of the Israelites have done. That the DNA of Turks, Armenians, and Ashkenazi Jews is similar does not mean they are necessarily related but that their amcestors may have dwelt in the same areas at crucial moments.

Bellbeaker Face below..

Shows a similarity in facial features between the Ancient Bell Beaker Peoples of Britain and those of present-day England and Northwest Europe. The headshape however is different. So is the coloring.

==========
Commentary:
Bell Beaker peoples in conventional accounts suddenly appear at the end of the Stone (Neolithic) Age out of nowhere in ca. 2000 BCE (conventional date) and very quickly expand and multiply until they overran western and northwestern Europe. They are credited with introducing the Bronze Age. They were mostly R1b Yhaplogroup.
Culturally they came from Spain and Portugal but their DNA is different from the DNA of those areas in ancient times and also of today.
The DNA of the Bell Beaker people has been linked back either (1) to the Yamnaya People of the Steppes north of the Baltic and Caspian Sea. OR (2) to the Corded Ware People in Eastern Europe to the west of Yamnaya. Either way the DNA still does not properly fit this. They are however are also ultimately (by DNA) linked to Anatolia i.e. Northern Israel.

The pictures we look at above may or may not say something but let us put them aside for the time being.

Bell-Beakers are associated with a variety of R1b, i.e. R-M269.

Note the following extracts from Wikipedia on the matter:
Haplogroup R-M269

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_R-M269
# Balaresque et al. (2010) based on the pattern of Y-STR diversity argued for a single source in the Near East and introduction to Europe via Anatolia in the Neolithic Revolution.

# R-M269 is of particular interest for the genetic history of Western Europe, being the most common European haplogroup. It increases in frequency on an east to west gradient (its prevalence in Poland estimated at 22.7%, compared to Wales at 92.3%). It is carried by approximately 110 million European men (2010 estimate).
[The The subclade R-P311 is associated with the Bell-Beakers].
# The subclade R-P311 is substantially confined to Western Europe in modern populations. R-P311 is absent from Neolithic-era ancient DNA found in Western Europe, strongly suggesting that its current distribution is due to population movements within Europe taking place after the end of the Neolithic. The three major subclades of P311 are U106 (S21), L21 (M529, S145), and U152 (S28). These show a clear articulation within Western Europe, with centers in the Low Countries, the British Isles and the Alps, respectively.^[19] These lineages are associated with the non-Iberian steppe-related groups of the Bell Beaker culture, and demonstrate the relationship between steppe-related ancestry and R1b-M269 subclades,^[16] which are "the major lineage associated with the arrival of Steppe ancestry in western Europe after 2500 BC".^[20]

# In western Asia, R-M269 has been reported in 29.2% of Assyrian males from Iran.^[28]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

2. Assyrian DNA Among the Western Celtics!

R1b peoples including the Bell Beakers took over Britain and also took over the Celtic areas who were there before them.
The two western and eastern groups were similar. R1b 269 (R-M269) is more prevalent in Western Celtic areas. Eastern Bell Beaker regions have relateively less of it..
It may however be related to the Ancient Assyrians.

"In western Asia, R-M269 has been reported in 29.2% of Assyrian males from Iran."

So we do not know where the Bell-Beaker R1b people who took over Britain (and much of western Europe) suddenly came from. They are now bel,eived by some to have from Anatolia like the early neolithic peoples who were there before them and disappeared when they came. There were 2 groups of them. One may have been connected to the Assyrians. The eastern Bellbeakers were closer to the Bellbeakers of Continental Europe. This was long before the invasions of Angles, Saxons, and Vikings, who also belonged to the eastern set of Bellbeakers.
R1b was not dominant in the Levant (Israel Lebanon etc) but it was in Anatolia that overlaps with Israel. R1b is realtively new and is believed to ahve first appeared in Anatolia!

The Land of Israel.
Let us put a bit of sequential order into the whole scenario starting with the Land of Israel.

The Land of Israel and most of the surrounding areas has the same DNA as today i.e. J especially J2, E1b1b, and others. The Land of Israel and Anatolia geographically merge together.
Anatolia had J2 and R1b. They were intermixed with each other in Anatolia and almost inseparable. J2 was present in Britain in Neolithic times but disappeared when the Bellbeakers came.
Neverthelesss, Neolithic (Stone Age) Britain had had J and R1b 269 and others. The same as Anatolia. Before the Neolithic there was a more primitive groups who were much taller in height and were dominated by haplogroup G possibly form the Caucasus. Neverthelesss.
"Neolithic Britons were largely descended from populations originating in Anatolia (modern Turkey) who migrated to Europe, eventually reaching Britain via the Mediterranean route."
https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=d572c6a4b45d64e1&sxsrf=AE3TifNAXuHWusffi0-RLlnnFJLS0_afPg:

"This suggests that this haplogroup's initial source may have been somewhere in Neolithic Anatolia or the Levant, and slowly spread with early farming,"
https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/2023-10-09/ty-article/in-first-archaeologists-extract-dna-of-ancient-israelites/0000018b-138a-d2fc-a59f-d39b21fd0000

So the Neolithic Peoples whom the Bell Beakers and their partners replaced may have come from the northern Land of Israel.
Some of the Bell Beakers may be descended from the Assyrians and others from Israelites.

Confused already? So are we. Do not worry about it. As far as we are concerned it is more than enough that the feasibility of Israelite origin is in effect being acknolwedged.

DNA changes. Some types get lost. The Bible says the Lost Ten Tribes are in western areas and so they are. How they got to where they are and what changes they underwent still need to be studied. We are doing that and opening up possibilities for further research.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3. DNA SOMETIMES CHANGES OVERNIGHT.
Modern means of estimating the ages of ancient civilizations (radio carbon dating etc) are to be discarded.
If something could have happened in 50 years there is no reason to say it took 500 or 5000 or more.

DNA does not evolve. It appears. It can change suddenly almost overnight or over short periods. Once it changes it stays. Until the next time. In the mean time it might become slightly modified. Life is dynamic.

The time frame in which lthe changes happend was much shorter than is commonly supposed. There were upheavals in the heavens and on earth.

People change. DNA was altered in the space of a few generations not in endless everlasting eons.

4. Note on Chronology.
Rabbi Biberfeld has a theory of his own which ends by giving corresponding dates for the exile of the Ten Tribes (in ca. 720 BCE) to those conventionally accepted.
Rabbi Biberfeld: Chronology
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/16/chronology/biberfeldchrono.html
The work of Biberfeld is available for free on the Web.

Biberfeld Dates:
Exodus ca. 1312 BCE

King Solomon 975-935.
Kingdom of Israel 934-722.
Kingdom of Judah 934-586.

Conventionally the Ten Tribes were exiled in ca. 730-722 BCE.
The Midrash Seder Olam places it in about 555 BCE.
This may be the date we will have to accept.
More research is needed.
