 :cloud9: Wow. That was something to hear for the first time. You find some unique things, WW. Thanks.........Blessings....

[Molly]

wow that was wild.  It sounds like German.

I hope God could understand it because I couldn't.  :icon_joker:

[Taffy]

Its sounds and reads very Gaelic  :icon_flower:

[WhiteWings]

wow that was wild.  It sounds like German.

To me it sounds more like a Danish + some Swedish

But German certainly aint a bad guess Molly because England is of Germanic origin

My wife had to learn how to speak it in one of her college classes, I told her it sounded like a recording going backwards.  :happy3:

I was looking for a dictionary from around the time KJV was written; because I think it's good to understand the word defenitions of that time. As this little video shows language can change a tiny bit  :laughing7:

Yes, well, it's no wonder it sounds German because the saxon part of anglo-saxon is German.

Sax·on     

NOUN:

A member of a West Germanic tribal group that inhabited northern Germany and invaded Britain in the fifth and sixth centuries a.d. with the Angles and Jutes.
A person of English or Lowland Scots birth or descent as distinguished from one of Irish, Welsh, or Highland Scots birth or descent.
A native or inhabitant of Saxony.
The West Germanic language of any of the ancient Saxon peoples.
The Germanic element of English as distinguished from the French and Latin elements.


But it doesn't surprise me that the Narnians would try to claim it since it's incomprehensible. :laughing7:

[WhiteWings]

Yes, well, it's no wonder it sounds German because the saxon part of anglo-saxon is German.

Saxon is a great Brittish band.
If you watch the second video you see the Vikings invaded Brittain. They where mainly Danish. So that possibly why I see it as Danish.
A Dane however would likely say German. A Dane I know claims Dutch sounds German. I claim Danish sounds German  :winkgrin:
Europe's history is kinda complex.

The anglo part of anglo-saxon is also German.  The British royal family is German.  I hate to admit it but the true Brits are the Narnians [wales, scotland, Ireland].

An·gle    (nggl) KEY 

NOUN:

A member of a Germanic people that migrated to England from southern Jutland in the 5th century a.d., founded the kingdoms of Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia, and together with the Jutes and Saxons formed the Anglo-Saxon peoples.

Hmmm, I wonder how much Italian blood is rushing through European veins?
Give that the Roman Empire was so wide spread I would think most Europeans have a drop or two.
And the early inhabitants of the Italian peninsula were gathered up from areas of Greece and Asia Minor (The Fertile Crescent).
Yea, even the lands of Judea.

You could just open the genetic geography book and check it out.  Imagine if Hitler had had this little trick.  Poor scientists.  They just love to discover new things and have no clue how evil might use what they discover.





Up until now, a DNA sample could probably tell which continent your ancestors came from. Now a new genetic map could pinpoint a person's geographic origins within a couple of hundred miles. Biostatisticians John Novembre of UCLA, and Carlos Bustamante and his team at Cornell University, used DNA data from thousands of people across Europe to create the map, which was recently published in the journal Nature.

"I almost fell off my chair when I saw the result," Bustamante explains. "It was just so stunning that you could take this DNA data — you had no idea where these individuals came from — and smack in the middle was Switzerland, to the south was Italy, to the west was the Iberian peninsula; it was just completely stunning."

After creating the map, the researchers showed they could use it to locate the origin of an unknown DNA sample, within certain limits.

"We can take DNA of an individual of unknown ancestry and answer the question of what their ancestry is,' says Novembre. "So we can place them on a map even if we don't know where they're from."
