1. Druids and Oak Trees
"Brit-Am Now"-1005
5. Under the Terebinth Tree
This is taken from Genesis 35
http://britam.org/Genesis/Gen32to36VaYishlach.html
[Genesis 35:4] AND THEY GAVE UNTO JACOB ALL THE STRANGE GODS WHICH
WERE IN THEIR HAND, AND ALL THEIR EARRINGS WHICH WERE IN THEIR EARS;
AND JACOB HID THEM UNDER THE OAK WHICH WAS BY SHECHEM.
The Druids of Celtic Britain worshipped under oak trees. Is there a
connection?
Note in our version of the King James it says OAK TREE.
We think this is more correct.
The Hebrew says "Ha-Eylah" and in Modern Hebrew
I guess this would be a terebinth whereas an oak is an "alon".
See the Wikipedia article on terebinth
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terebinth
# Scriptures/Tanakh or Old Testament), for example in Isaiah 1:29,
where the Hebrew word "el" or "elim" is often translated as oak or terebinth #
The answer is not certain but we feels that "oak" is the more correct.

2. By Troy was Tanais (on the Don River) Intended?

#3. Didrik Saemundsson: Tanais or Troy?
... I read that the symbol of Troy was the eagle Zeus was sometimes with eagle and sometimes with serpent (Dan?).
We know that Sarmatians came from Iran and were living at Tanais [on Don River estuary], and comes accurately after the Babylon release.
If both are Israeli tribes with this connection (wise old men at each location that knows the roots and teach it. Then the connection is not ununderstandable and it also explains the bands to upper Moesia [ca. Serbia] where the Herui [now in Southwest Sweden] seems to have come from.

But Professor Koch, of the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh & Celtic Studies, in Aberystwyth, says archaeological inscriptions on stones show we came from southern Portugal and south-west Spain.
He said: "Celts are said to come from west central Europe: Austria, southern Germany, eastern France and that part of the world.
.... "But the assumption was that was where they came from. I think they got there later.
"There is evidence in Spain and Portugal indicating they were there 500 or more years before."
Professor Koch says there are Celtic texts in Portugal and Spain way before they started springing up in central Europe during Roman times.
One key piece of evidence is the earliest written language of western Europe, Tartessian, found on inscribed stones in Portugal and Spain dating back to between 800BC and 400BC. The professor maintains this language can be deciphered as Celtic.
