What are Proto-Celts?
.......a hundred years later, this "lost" Northern Kingdom of Israel with now over 6 Million Israelites helped the Medes and Persians overthrow the Assyrians, then escaped north through the Caucasus Mountains and around the Black and Caspian Seas, to explode into history ~610 BC as The Celts.
These Celts mixed with (and fought against) each other, and with other scattered Israelites (called proto-Celts) who had escaped from Egypt by sea nearly a thousand years earlier, before the overland Exodus from Egypt. Also, with other Israelites who migrated from Palestine after the overland Exodus but before the Assyrian captivity. These proto-Celts (Israelites) had already established numerous outposts in Europe and elsewhere.
