1. The People of Spanish Peninsula is Askenazim !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.01.12)
"Os-Grusia" - Osetistan and Georgia in Kaukasus, is the homecountry of all Gotic Germans/Askenazim. As Hyxos they where expelled from Egypt cirka 1400 B.C., Egypt whom they ruled some 400 Years. They went westward to Spain over North-Africa and are called Basks today, after Keuskado/Kasgogne in todays Spain and France. Osetistan and Georgia was called Kasga in those times. The Askenasim who emigrated North-west from Kaukasus and came to Scandinavia, some emigrated back to Ukrain, and then westward again over Central Europe, to todays Southwestern France and Spain, and even to Northwest Africa. So - all Spaniards and Portugise are Askenasim with some Mix of Greece and Latin People. So - There is not nessesarry any conection of Jews and Colorado Indians. In short. Arn.Sweden.

5. Has anyone researched Mystery Mt?
Daniel ,   TA   (06.01.12)
There is a mountain outside Albequerquie that has the Decalogue carved into it. The writing is Hebrew from the days of King Solomon. It was discovered prior to any knowledge of this form of writing. It would be interesting to learn if Native Americans of the region have any genetic links to ancient Jews.

No that means as we find more Jews in the world, we will need more room in Israel and that means that all Arabs in Israel will need to go back to Saudi Arabia. the sooner the better we just found 1 more million Jews in Spain.

14. Indian jews
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (06.01.12)
And no jews among eskimos, too ?
15. Genetic links to Palestinians much greater
Dr. B ,   NYC   (06.01.12)
So why are we so excited about some native Americans in Colorado when the absolute proven strongest genetic link to Askenazi Jews are among Palestinian (as opposed to Bedouin) Arabs. Let's reconcile with our brother next door and stop competing claims that either people only showed up in the land in the last century.
16. Nr 1. Ancestry of North-Americas Indians.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.01.12)
As according to the Mormons and the Book of Mormon, they are The Ten Loost Tribes of Israel. As according to DNA investigation, they are most similar to a Turkish People som 1000 km East of Moscov in Russia. The Founder of Mormonism Josep Smith, has according to the Mormons, found Golden Plates in the Soil of the US, which according to them was written in Old Egyptian or a similar Language, and God according to them, gave Joseph Smith the Interpretaition of those scriptures, which now is called The Book of Mormon. In this Book is recorded the Jews emigration from Israel to Northern America. According to me, Mormonism is a Fake Religion and the Book of Mormon a lie thus - In Esdras is said that the Ten Loost Tribes Will Walk on Foot back to Israel thus - http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Esdras+13&version=CEB -and I cant imagine in my Wildest fantasies, that the Indians of North America, will Walk from there, over the Strait in Bering, and trough the whole of Asia home to Israel. So who is lying ?, Esdra or the Book of Mormon ? The Myth of Atlantis will explain this I think. A Culture Egyptian in Nature, flourishet on Creet/Caftor, as the Caftoreans was a Egyptian People according to the Word of HASHEM, in some 1500 Years, and ended with and Earthquaqe, destroying this culture cirka 1400 B.C. This culture spread over the seas, and is the founder of Stonehenge, and the Middle Americas and South Americas Indian Civilisations, very similar to the Egyptian and Mesopotamian from whence the Egyptian derived. So no wonder if the Golden Plates Joshep Smith found, could have been written in Old Egyptian, but his interpretaion is an error, though I can admit that, The Egyptian Civilisation was Derived from Mesopotamia/Northern Irak of Today and, the Egyptians emigrated Southwest, through what is today called Israel but, that happened in the end of and beginning of the 4th and 3rd Millenium B.C., as Noa is estimated to have livet in the Middle of the 4th Millenium. The Indians of Middle and South America is therefore most likely of the Yellow Rase, mixed with Egytian and Askenasim as above in nr 1. In short. Arn Sweden.
17. One can only smile & shake the head
Cameron ,   USA   (06.01.12)
18. Identify Jews by culture. Genes and religion are meaningless
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.01.12)
19. ..yes,in their bottom...give us a break...
Anna M Sedda ,   rome_Italy   (06.01.12)
20. The Israelite roots of the American Indian tribes that speak
Rivkah   (06.02.12)
fluent Hebrew dates back to Solomon's navy. Solomon's navy discovered North America long ago. The Zuni Indians of Virginia and New Mexico speak fluent Hebrew. The Ten Commandments are carved on stones in New Mexico. The Israelites were 12 tribes not just the tribe of Judah.
21. #11: What?!
babawawa ,   new york, usa   (06.02.12)
The American Indians were occupied by a series of groups, including the Spanish and the English, neither of which ever claimed, at the time, to be natives. Unlike Palestinians.
22. #15: The answer to your comment
babawawa ,   new york, usa   (06.02.12)
about similar DNA is that these Muslims were Jews forcibly converted to Islam.
23. Next month, #14
Cameron ,   USA   (06.02.12)
24. Quite "a well researched article"..
Buskila ,   South America   (06.02.12)
to say the least. So at the time of the Spanish Inquisition, when our Christopher arrived at the shore of Jamaica, the crypto Jews were....hmm Ashkenaze. Well, my word, what ever happened to the Historical Sephardic Jews, forced to or(as the late Prof. Netanyahu contest) choose to become Christians? Its hard for you to imagine that the DNA of a Maroccan Jew and a Polish Jew are very much the same, except in some category, which exists, the exception, in France between various regions. So, fesh up you story and rewrite a new Artcle.. What a mess you made out of beautiful human episode, really.
25. 600 years? is this a joke? America was discovered in 1492.
phil ,   tel aviv   (06.02.12)
26. not only indians...
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.02.12)
Here in Norway we have a "sami" population in the north, and many have a surname of "sara",,,I guess there could be some jewish there too. They are very clever and great people.
27. 2.That was a great movie. Do u remember name of the tribe?
Alan ,   SA   (06.02.12)

28. Still looking for an identity
Markus ,   U S.   (06.02.12)
This Caucasian is still looking for an identity, LMAO,,,,,,, let's see how long has he been on the planet?
29. # 15 Dr B,Genetic links mean nothing,
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.02.12)
whats important,is to identify with a culture,religion ethnic group,there are 2 Jewish women in Israel,one married an arab from the west bank and her son became a terrorist in the service of the PLO,the other women's son who was raised in Israel by his mother served in the IDF,in Germany during ww 2 there were many soldiers whos father or mother were Jews, and those soldiers even distinguished themselves in the war,one soldier vent to eichmann in uniform,on behalf of his Jewish mother,and than accompanied her to the train that took her to Auschwitz,genes are important in anthropology,illnesses,but not national identity,after all, don't we all carry genes of our african ancestors ?.
30. # 14 Istvan,all the eskimos that eat
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.02.12)
gefilte fish are Jews,and those eskimos who eat more gefilte than the others,can serve as ordained Rabbis.
