What if the history of America's largest Indian nation is actually a polite modern fiction, one invented by "anthropologists and other friends"? In this sweeping revisionist study of the Cherokee... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Half way through and I got tired of the infatuation with jews

The author seems to have the common erroneous thought that the word 'jew' and the word 'Israelite' are interchangeable. They are not. In your KJV Bible, in II Kings 18 the Israelite's were at war against the jews. It seems to me to be fruitless to try to trace the DNA of Cherokee back to 200 BC in order to try to prove that they were jews, when modern DNA testing can't trace jews back that far. Most jews today are not descendants of the Israel of the Bible. Didn't you ever read what Jesus said? 'There are those that lie and say they are jews." Josephus said something similar. Plus, you have to consider that many jews say that 'jew' is a religion and not a race. So it would be impossible to trace Cherokee genetics back to a religion. This seems to me to be the major failure of the book. He also claims that Cherokee are Greek. Now this would make more sense since the Greeks are seafaring people. The Greek poet Homer never called his characters Greek; he called them Danaans or Acheans. And there is a hymn to Athena that calls her the guardian of the Danaans. Now, there was a tribe of Israel called 'Dan'. And the tribe of Dan were referred to once in the Bible as living in ships. So Greeks might be the tribe of Dan, and they may have sailed to North America and become the Cherokee. The author does mention Danaans once. But, this author seems to think that there was a land bridge across the Pacific, and that's how the Cherokee, and others, got to North America. They walked across. Then the land bridge sank. So it's sort of a hybrid of the orthodox theory that the indians crossed a land bridge during the ice age, from Siberia to Alaska. But then he also talks about an expedition by ship from Alexandria Egypt. So I am a little confused here. Which is it? There may have been a large island in the Atlantic called Atlantis. This is a popular theory, mentioned by Plato. The island sunk, just like in the Cherokee's stories. But the Cherokee say the island was west. Well, west from where? But I have also read there there was a large island off of the coast of Australia. Maybe that's the island. I think that the author's connections of the Cherokee's works to Greek words as being the most convincing. He quotes Barry Fell some. But this book doesn't have any illustrations like Fell's books. The genetics gets into too many twists and turns, and it only traces female genetics. This book establishes fairly well that the Cherokee came from somewhere in the eastern Mediterranean, like Egypt and Greek. As to why they went east across the Pacific instead of the shorter route through the Mediterranean and across the Atlantic, I don't know, unless they didn't have ships, and walked a now sunken land bridge. But, then again, he has ships sailing out from Alexandria Egypt. So which is it? I would say that the ships are more likely. Thor Heyerdahl proved that an Egyptian reed ship could sail the Atlantic. But in the Field Museum in Chicago there is an Egyptian boat made out of wood. So why reed? I think that Egyptians, Libyans, Greeks, Danaans, Phoenicians, Portuguese, Romans, Celts, Irish monks and others sailed across the Atlantic regularly. There is much evidence for this. Refer to Barry Fell's books. And they probably mined copper around the Great Lakes and brought it by ship to Europe in the Bronze Age. But somehow, the history books got written in a way to teach us all that Columbus was the first white European to cross the Atlantic, and every one at the time thought the world was flat, and that all of the evidence for previous crossings are hoaxes, frauds or plow point markings.. (Actually, Columbus was probably jewish, but he was counted as white. )
