Is this the Scotland of Robert Burns and William Wallace? We had a piece on this story in the February, 2012 Saxon Messenger. The synopsis of the Robert Green case below is courtesy of Mr. Mike Green, to whom we are appreciative.

PREFACE

It is a matter of some regret to me that I have been so far unable to continue the series of studies on the French Revolution of which The Chevalier de Boufflers and The French Revolution, a Study in Democracy formed the first two volumes. But the state of the world at the end of the Great War seemed to demand an enquiry into the present phase of the revolutionary movement, hence my attempt to follow its course up to modern times in World Revolution. And now before returning to that first cataclysm I have felt impelled to devote one more book to the Revolution as a whole by going this time further back into the past and attempting to trace its origins from the first century of the Christian era. For it is only by taking a general survey of the movement that it is possible to understand the causes of any particular phase of its existence. The French Revolution did not arise merely out of conditions or ideas peculiar to the eighteenth century, nor the Bolshevist Revolution out of political and social conditions in Russia or the teaching of Karl Marx. Both these explosions were produced by forces which, making use of popular suffering and discontent, had long been gathering strength for an onslaught not only on Christianity, but on all social and moral order.

Innan við hálfa öld eftir að Ætt Ísraels fór í útlegð, var fyrst minnst á Skýþverja í sögulegum heimildum. Þessi skjöl, sem eru frá tíma Essarhaddons Assyríukonungs(681-669 fyrir Krist), voru endurheimt frá skjalasafni Nínevehborgar og eru nú staðsett í British Museum. Þau sýna að Skýþverjar voru þá staðsettir meðal Meda þar sem Biblían segir okkar af sumir af Ísraelítum höfðu verið settir í útlegð( 2 Kings 18:11). Sömu gögn sanna einnig að ný þjóð að nafni Gimiri var einnig staðsett á sama svæði á þessum tíma.
