1. Interesting Pictures of Phoenicians: Blue Eyes Quite Frequent?
https://www.pinterest.com/iceicelet/ancient-phoenicia/
Phoenicians statuettes carvings, glass pendants, etc, mostly from the 500s -400s BCE
We counted 8 depictions (glass pendants etc) in which the color of the eyes and the hair are depicted.
In 5 of the cases the eye color is blue. In 3 examples the eye color is black.
No other eye colors are given.
The color of the hair is black in all cases except one where it may be black mixed with grey or something else.
[It is worth noting however that the Roman Chronicler Virgil described Dido the first Queen of Carthage as having golden hair.]
Examples seem to be all from Phoenicia (Lebanon) and Carthage the Phoenician colony in North Africa.

A brief search on the Web revealed tens of more such examples.

It could be argued that in some cases it is an artistic convention and that the blue represents black.
Maybe but very often the examples are too realistic for this to be accepted.
In MOST cases the skin color is pale white but a few examples are quite darkish.

There are also Black Africans among them,

2. Maps of Research Value

(b) Maps of Europe and Scythia
Hi Yair

If you like to see Georg Holm's maps of Israel,
you can see them online from Finnish website Doria, Finnish National Library.

The maps are from collection of Adolf Erik Nordenskiold, Finnish man, who collected 24000 maps in his life.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Erik_Nordenski%C3%B6ld

Avaa tiedosto means open file. They are quite large, so they might take time to load.
But as they are large, It also gives opportunity to Zoom In better.

Jerusalem : http://www.doria.fi/handle/10024/90218 http://www.doria.fi/handle/10024/90217

Here is map of regions; Aser, Zebulon and Issachar : http://www.doria.fi/handle/10024/90214
Here is map of regions; Ephraim, Benjamin, Manasse, Dan and Judah : http://www.doria.fi/handle/10024/90213

Scyths in the map : http://www.doria.fi/handle/10024/90212
Sarmatians in the map : http://www.doria.fi/handle/10024/90211
Marcomannis in the map : http://www.doria.fi/handle/10024/90210
Also Marcomannis : http://www.doria.fi/handle/10024/90209

On the site you may find a lot of ancient maps. If you see familiar hebrew origin placenames,
you may track Israelian people better. Just search amongst Nordenskiold collection years before 1800.
Link to that directly is : http://www.doria.fi/handle/10024/97220

Have good time with these maps, and may G'd bless you

3. Ashkenaz in North-East Turkey, Associated with Scythians

Brit-Am Preliminary Note:
The extract below is from an article the gist of which almost nobody accepts and which we understand to be ENTIRELY WRONG except for the fact that a people named Ashkenaz were once in the area of Turkey mentioned before moving to Germany and other areas in Europe.
The association of Ashkenaz with the Scythians also ties in with our understanding of the Book of Hosea and the identity of Gomer and her three children.
cf.

Hosea 2:
21 It will come about in that day that I will respond, declares theLord.
I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth,
22 And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and to the oil,
And they will respond to Jezreel.
23 I will sow her for Myself in the land.
I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion,
And I will say to [r]those who were not My people,
'You are My people!'
And they will say, 'You are my God!' 

Scientists reveal Jewish history's forgotten Turkish roots

Israeli-born geneticist believes the Turkish villages of Iskenaz, Eskenaz and Ashanaz were part of the original homeland for Ashkenazic Jews
David Keys Archaeology Correspondent
@davidmkeys

Extract:

Dr Elhaik, an Israeli-born geneticist who gained his doctorate in molecular evolution from the University of Houston, believes that three still-surviving Turkish villages:  Iskenaz, Eskenaz and Ashanaz, on the western part of an ancient Silk Road route were part of the original Ashkenazic homeland. He believes that the word Ashkenaz originally comes from Ashguza - the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian name for the Iron Age Eurasian steppeland people, the Scythians.

Referring to the names of the three Turkish villages, Dr Elhaik points out that 'north-east Turkey is the only place in the world where these place-names exist'.
