AHC: Celtic Persia

Ah, but that is where you fail to mock me. That is a myth, what I stated was a legend that actually has historically accurate genealogies to back it up. And a legend is also different from a myth. But at least you tried.

Yes, because it's possible to trace 'Phoenician' or 'Egyptian' genetics. Please.
 
Oh please, don't make me laugh...

There is a logical stance behind this premise. Do you think it is hard to believe that the Egyptian/Phoenician naval adventures failed to make it through the channel between Spain and Morocco? There is evidence of Phoenician settlements in both Spain and France, both of which have a high density of Gauls, does it not? And in several thousand years (if the thousand year estimate is correct) could you not believe that maybe the settlements would have mixed with some of the local people and certainly effecting the area with its own genetics? And aren't the early inhabitants of the British Isles not descendants of Gauls?

Phoenician settlement in the region (which IS a proven historical fact) does not equate to the majority of Celts/Gauls being descended from them (nor from the Egyptians) as you implied. The linguistic evidence also suggests otherwise.

And I'm still waiting for sources on the "genealogies".

The Gauls did not penetrate the areas which the Phoenicians settled in in Spain, nor can we believe that the amount of Phoenicians that traded in France ever reached the amount to mix with the local Gauls.

... this is where my source gets a little sketchy. I was on a wiki adventure and the legend popped up. I assume that you know what wiki adventures are, or do you not?
 
But then again I also said this was a "Legend", not that I personally believed it. So I have only been digging myself a deeper hole by resisting your own premises. I apologize.
 
Ooh, haven't heard that one! Do tell! (Although I have heard "The Olmecs were West African...)

I can do you one better! I once found a site that the Olmecs were descended from African explorers from Southern China, because Southern China was settled by Africans in ancient times.
