Account of Genesis, entitled " Migration of Eastern Tribes from early 

 Babylonian Cylinder," and in the central figure you will find a typical 

 bearded Gael in kilt and plaid and bonnet. The Celt was dominant on 

 the Euphrates and the Tigris. The haughty Hittite Sargons and Ham- 

 murabis had to make Sumirian alliances or perish. Ismi-dagon, the 

 great conqueror of Assyria, with his sons Gungunu and ShamasTva, 

 attained imperial power, while their relatives Satarna and his son 

 Tushratta dominated Mesopotamia and Syria, and the dynasties of 

 Buryas, Singasit, and Urhammu ruled Chaldea. In Canaan itself the 

 Hittite Confederacy was fain to call in the aid of Celtic skill and courage, 

 and virtually make kings of the Saprers, Maurosars, and Mauthanars, 

 who fought their battles against all the might of Egypt. 



To the student of ancient history the story of the primitive Celt 

 is invaluable. It cuts down the fabulous antiquity of the Egyptian 

 and Babylonian conjectural historians ; it reveals the contemporane- 

 ousness of monarchs falsely separated by centuries ; it discloses the 

 identity of Egyptian Pharaohs, such as the Thothmes and Rameses, 

 placed far apart in different dynasties ; and it withdraws so called 

 myth from the realm of mystery into that of perverted history. The 

 Celt was a half-breed, but of the noblest kind. His father was the 

 Semitic Abraham, his mother, the Perizzite princess Keturah of the 

 purest Aryan race. Zimrite and Midianite, Sumirian and Mitannian 

 were the names by which he was known, names that he rarely disgraced. 

 Like the Hittite, he fell upon evil days when the Horite or Phoenician 

 Thothmes-Rameses became supreme in Egypt, and when Israel at a 

 later date scattered his squadrons ; but, when the Aryan first reasserted 

 himself, it was in his Medo-Persian person, and that new supremacy the 

 Aryan keeps to-day, through all the Latin nations and even in many 

 that are Germanized and Sclavized, through the inborn vigour of the Celt. 



A great difficulty in the way of recognizing the historical characters of 

 the monuments in ancient Celtic history is the fact that much of that 

 history was originally composed from a non-Celtic or Turanian stand- 

 point, and doubtless in a Turanian language of the Iberic or Pictish 

 division. In British tradition, the illustrious names of Arthur, son of 

 Uther Pendragon, and of Emrys Wledig, or Aurelius Ambrosius, denote 

 genuine historical personages but Turanians, and the same is true of the 

 Irish Gadel, Heber Scot, and Milesius, and of the Ossianic Treinmore, 

 Gaul MacMorn, and Cormac. Even the sons of Treinmore's celebrated 

 son, Trathall, were only Celtic on the side of their mother, who was a 

 sister of the Babylonian Urhammu and Ulam-Buryas. On the male 

 side they were descended froifi the famous Sargon of Agade, who was 

 the father of Trein the Great, known as Harum or Naram on Sinaitic
