*1.Adam's descendants would go on to produce 3 distinct recorded "Peoples" with a common ancestry in relation to the Celtic Irish and especially that of their Celtic Gaelic Heritage through his tenth male line descendant,

*10.Noah who had 3 sons listed in the Old Testament who were allotted territory, 11.Shem, (into Asia)*11.Ham (Africa) and *11.Japheth (Europe) who all survived the Great Deluge to have an impact on Celtic Irish history.

11.Shem's recorded descendants the Semites would at first include the Hebrews, who would eventually evolve into the Israelites and later on become known as the Jews of Judah. Among the others would be the Arab Muslims and all would be through his descendant, Abraham. (Moses as an Israelite descendant would also have an individual personal impact of his own on Celtic Ireland.)

11.Ham would become the ancestor of the Fomoiri / Fomorians / African Sea Pirates / Sea Rovers who would be a constant threat to all those of Scythian Celtic descent who where to eventually migrate to Ireland.

*11.Japheth had 7 sons, 12.Joham the ancestor of the Britons, 12.Madian of the Medi, 12.Juuan of the Greeks, 12.Tubal of the Hebrei, Hispani and Itali,12.Mosoch of the Cappadocces, 12.Tiras of the Thraces. while his first son, *12.Magog would be the one, who would become the direct male line ancestor of the Scythian / Massagetae Celts to be more directly involved in Celtic Irish History.

*12.Magog also mentioned in the Old Testament of the Hebrews with no descendants, unlike his brothers, of which the Celts had no knowledge, but he would nevertheless, play the most direct role of all in the Celtic History of Ireland. *12.Magog was to become the direct male line ancestor of the Aryan Goths, and especially the "People" who would become known as the Scythians / Massagetae who were to have their own individual tribal territory, early on, to the north of the Black Sea in the region above the Mediterranean. This area was a portion of the division originally given over to his father, *11.Japheth by his father, *10.Noah, after the Great Deluge, when he had assigned each of his 3 surviving sons their own particular Family territories.

*13.Baoth / Baath, the son of *12.Magog, became the initial ruler of their specific territory there, which was geographically situated on the Steppes above the Black Sea, and his brother, 13.Fathochta was to be the direct male line ancestor of Partholon the leader of the Partholonians who were to come into Ireland in 2659 BC. Partholon was to also be a brother to Tait the direct male line ancestor of Paim the direct male line ancestor of Aduam "Bau" - the Scythian Greek who was to be the father of Nemedh / Nemedius who along with his wife, Macha, was to become the direct ancestor initially of the aristocratic Nemedians who were then to come into Ireland later still in 2349 BC. Eventually over time Nemed and Macha would also both become the Nemedian direct ancestors of the Scythian Teutonic Fir Bolg / Men of the Bag Septs who were to return to Ireland in 1933 BC, and their kinsmen the Scythian Nemedian Tuatha De Danann / People of Danu Septs who were to also return to Ireland 37 years after this in 1896 BC. Meanwhile the original Scythians themselves where to evolve also as 2 separate direct entities or "Peoples" known as the Scythian Feni and the ScythianGaelic Celts / Keltoi through *13.Baoth's son,

*14.Feinias "Farsaidh" who became the 1st King of Scythia in his own right, whose other son, 15.Nenual was to be the father of 16.Riffil who was also to become the King of Scythia and the father of 17.Reffeior whose direct male line line would eventually produce Seang in the late 18th Century BC who would become the second wife of *14.Feinias "Farsaidh's" descendant, *36.Mil / Milesius the Celtic Hero of Spain who was to be the 3rd King of Castile and Portugal and the direct male line ancestor of the Gaelic Celtic Milesians in Ireland. The various Scythian Septs in the order of their arrival into Ireland in the years ahead were;

2659 BC The Scythian Partholonians descended by then from Partholon a descendant of 13.Fathochta, *12.Magog.

2349 BC The Scythian Nemedians descended by then from Nemedh, Aduam "Bau," Paim, Tait, *13.Fathocta,*12.Magog.

1933 BC The Scythian Nemedian Celtic - Teutonic Fir Bolg / Men of the Bag descended by then from a son of Nemedh and Macha, in Starn, but also infused with Teutonic blood in Greece. Nemedh, Aduam "Bau," Paim, Tait, *13.Fathochta, 12.Magog.

1896 BC The Scythian Celtic Nemedian Tuatha De Danann (People of Danu / Sword People) descended also still directly from another son, Beothach and his son, Iarbonel and grandson of Nemedh and Macha. Aduam "Bau," Paim, Tait, *13.Fathocta,*12.Magog.

1699 BC The Scythian Celtic Gaels descended by then from *15.Niall, a son of *14.Feinias "Farsaidh," and his son *16.Gael / Gaedhal "Glas," (Gaels) and in Ireland from the sons of *36.Mil / Milesius the Celtic Hero of Spain who was the 3rd King of Castile and Portugal and of Scota / Scotia a daughter of Nectanbus the Pharaoh of Egypt, (Milesians) and also from his uncle, *35.Ithe (Ithians).

1698 BC The Scythian Celtic Cruithin Picts / Caledonians in the north - east of the Ulster Province and the Scottish Highlands. *12.Magog.

330 BC The Scythian Laigin / Lin Celts / Spear People descended from *12.Magog.

100 AD The Scythian Celtic Gaelic Feni / Fenians descended from *16.Gael "Glas," *15.Niall, *14.Feinias "Farsaidh," *13.Baoth, *12,Magog.

All of these Scythian Celtic tribes where eventually to migrate into Ireland and on settling there claim their male lineal descent from *12.Magog, as for the Celts, their individual ancestral lineage was very important, and especially so to the Celtic Irish as this was to be the method whereby the Tuathas / Family regions / territories were to be held by their individual Native Irish Septs / Family branches under the Irish Brehon Law. (20 Miles x 20 miles approximately) Their Celtic Culture and their Celtic traditions were to be eventually totally annihilated by the many Centuries of English ethnic and religious oppression, and to be well and truly finished off by the 17th Century AD. In Ireland under the Celtic Brehon Law their individual territories belonged only to their Septs / Family branches, as a whole, as the Celtic Gaelic King owned nothing and therefore left nothing behind when he passed on. Under Teutonic Anglo - Norman - English rule the English King owned everything, and everyone was in serfdom to him.

5000 BC - 2230BC the Sumerian Empire was to be the earliest of the newly evolving civilizations to show out due to their rich River Valley farmland and as their mineral resources and strategic position was not too good they had to innovate, and began using irrigation as their main technology. Their region known as Sumer was situated in southern Mesopotamia where the Tigris River and the Euphrates River join up before flowing into the Persian Gulf. Soon primitive farmers also came down to the valley from the Zagros Mountains to the east, and learned how to irrigate their summer fields also, and this stability created the early settlements at *Ur in 2400 BC along with Uruk and Eridu, all of which grew to become overtime, independent Cities or States. As *Ur, Lagash, Erech, Eridu and Uruk became their most important cities down to 3000 BC these regions that were prior agricultural areas soon became City / States in their own right, along the banks of the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers. The Sumerians were to have hundreds of deities, with each individual City having its own, and also each Sumerian worshipped his own particular minor god or goddess who interacted with the major divinities on their behalf, and they had no belief at all in "Life after Death."

The Tower of Babel was created by Ur "Nammu" the King of Sumer and Akkad from the 3rd Dynasty where the oldest Temple on Earth still exists in the Chaldees of Mesopotamia and it was after this that many different languages came into being.

Abraham who was to be born as a Prince of *Ur ,decended from 10.Noah's oldest son, 11.Shem was taken out of Babylonia by his father, and they eventually came to settle in Hebron in Canaan, and as an individual he was to have an altogether different outlook to his fellow Sumerians. He was to set in motion a new religion, for that period in time, based on two beliefs, "One God" and "Life after Death." This personal philosophy and religious conviction, would be continued on mainly through his grandson, Jacob who was to be known later on as Israel, and who was to become the leader of the Hebrews who were then also much later to evolve into the Israelites. Later still they would also become known as the Jews due to their then existing territory of Judah named for one of Jacob's sons. Abraham's older son, Ishmael whose mother, Hagar was an Egyptian, was to become the ancestor initially firstly of the Arab Christians and then later on in the 7th Century AD of the Arab Muslims.

Abraham was to become the Hebrew / Habiru leader of one of the many Semitic groups and eventually go against the generic thinking of that period with their many gods, and with his firm belief in "One Almighty God" he was to cross the Syrian Desert to make his mark in World History. He was to become the "Father of many Nations" as the ancestor of the particular Semites who were to evolve into the Israelites, then into Jews of Judah, and also many of the Christians in the 1^st Century AD, and then also in the early 7^th Century AD the Arab Muslims. He later moved to Canaan in the Middle East were he established his new religion based on the "One True God" and replaced human sacrifice with animal sacrifice and his grandson, Jacob / Israel (He who fights for God / YHWH) and his Israelite descendants were to develop his religious commitment to the "One True God" further, later on.

5000 BC - 30 BC the Egyptian Empire was also to evolve initially around the same time, as it too was based on good agricultural areas that where close to the River Nile, with irrigation also their main technology, and they were to develop as a major Empire and last a lot longer then Sumer, as they were situated in a more fortunate protected location surrounded by a desert, with abundant mineral resources. They also had one really important thing in their favour, their opponents could only assail their region from the west and the north - east along the Mediterranean Sea coast, or from the Sea directly, or from the south along the River Valley.
