It's a hoax, just like Mr. Akins attempt to invent a Scottish clan with
himself as the chief several years ago & has quite a rep as a neo-nazi
("Hitler is my hero.").  But don't take my word for it...

http://wildhunt.org/blog/2008/11/lost-racist-book-of-ancient-celtic.html

So, have you read it? Or did you just read the review of it (which
seems to have been written by someone who hasn't actually read it
either)?

I've read enough of this guy's personal blitherings over on the OBOD boards
for some time now  (link provided in the link I provided), along with his
attempted bribery over his fake "Clan Akin" to know he's a racist, a hoaxter
and a con artist.

But hey, let's cut to the chase & ask an expert.  Phillip A. Bernhardt-House
holds a Ph.D. in Celtic Civilizations from University College Cork
(Ireland).  He has read the book and is not impressed.

By his own admisson, Bernhardt-House doesn't appear to have actually
read the book either:

"In the interests of full disclosure, let me state from the beginning
that I have not seen the book with my own eyes, have not held it in my
hands, and indeed have not read the full contents of it; hence, this
present essay is a "preview" as much as it attempts to be a "review."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ummm....try again.

I said initially that *I* have been reading *Mr. Akins* own posts on the
OBOD boards and have thus formed my opinion of him based on *his own words
posted publicly.* Mr. Akins has also posted publicly that he considers
Hitler to be his hero. I quoted him to illustrate my point.

The vast majority of people following a Druidic path have no use for racism,
neo-nazis, white supremecists and other forms of hate-mongering fanatics.
Nor are you going to win many fans for Mr. Akins by trying to derail the
discussion in this fashion.

p.s. My husband has just called my attention to the fact that Mr. Akins
also lists Hitler as one of his heroes on his Myspace page (along with the
Marquis de Sade, Bonny Prince Charles, the Duke of Windsor and yes, Uncle Al
Crowley).

So, the Gundestrup Cauldron is "Celtic-style"? With Elephants and a
representation of Shiva on it?

Yeah, yeah, I know...the elephants are on there because Hannibal
crossed the Alps with them...uh huh, yeah, sure.

There is no reason for the Germans to have had this. Period. If it was

Further the story is a Shaggy dog story.

There was very little reason for the Nazi's to commission a Celtic-

thing in Lake Chiemsee, but they didn't hesitate in doing just that:http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/0,1518,478958,00.html

Well, to be technical, the Gundestrup Cauldron is actually Cimbri -
the Cimbri/Cymry or Cimmerians (like the Gaels/Gauls/Galacians) having
originated in Scythia, then crossed over central Europe as they pushed
west into lands already inhabited by the Celts. The Celts absorbed
these eastern European settlers into their population, and adopted or
retained some of their culture, such as language and art - which is
why the descendants of the Celts living in Western Europe today speak
an Aryan (Indo-European) language that originated in the East around
Scythia/Iran/Aryana, even though these western European Celts are
predominately of native R1b haplotype DNA that is indigenous to
Western Europe.

That's not technical, that's absurd.

It's based on historical references, such as comments made by Diodorus
Siculus circa 60 BC, who wrote:

"the valour of these people [the Britons] and their....ways have been
famed abroad. Some men say that it was they who in ancient times
overran all of Asia [Minor] and were called "Cimmerians" - time having
corrupted the word into the name "Cimbrians" [Welsh: "Cymru"] as they
are now called....They are the people who captured Rome, being called
in time Greco-Gauls, because they mixed with the Greeks."

The Greek historian Plutarch (47 - 127 A.D.), who would have had first
hand knowledge of the Cimbri, stated in his "Life of Gaius
Marius" (written in 75 A.D.) that the Cimbri were "Galloscythians" who
were pushing westward, people known to the Greeks as "Cimmerians",
describing their homeland in the darkest and remotest location:

"extending into the interior [of Europe] as far as the Hercynian
forest....and from this region, the people, anciently called Cimmerii,
and afterwards by an easy change, Cimbri, came into Italy [in 101
B.C.]"

For additional information I would refer you to:

Last time I checked, the Cimbri/Cymry/Cimmerian connections is considered
fake etymology (you know I don't do linguistics, but I do know John T. Koch
refutes it in at least one of his books).  There are huge time jumps for a
start--the Cimmerians were flourishing around 1900 BCE and then fall off the
radar, the Cimbri were known in the 2nd century BCE and then fall off the
radar, while the term "Cymry" as designating Wales and the Welsh people
doesn't come into attestation until around the 4th and 5th centuries CE.  So
there is no provable connection unless you're willing to telescope several
centuries into nonexistence.

The Gundestrup Cauldron is pretty well accepted as being of Thracian work
(though perhaps itinerant Thracians) that came into Cimbri hands probably
due to being looted.

Last but not least, cutting-edge academia has basically junked the entire
concept of the "Aryans" as a fiction developed by 18th and 19th century
historians unable to accept that "blacks" could have achieved the degree of
civilization found in India.  One of the main figures of this long-overdue
rewrite is Dr. Greogry Possehl, (former) Prof. of Anthropology at the Univ.
of Pennsylvania, but there are others

Translation "The Jewish thought-police in charge of academia and
propaganda have rewritten a revisionist history in order to dispell
any vestiges of the White Race existing independant of (and evolving
separately from) other darker races as a means of advancing their
destruction of the racial and ethnic integrity of the Caucasian
people."
