The Phoenician Origin of Britons Scots and Anglo-Saxons


Book Description

L. A. Waddell’s captivating volume explores Britain’s origins and presents new historical evidence from ancient Phoenician and Sumerian civilisations. First published in 1924, this work is an exploration of the early history of Britain’s ancestry. Exploring the Britons, Scots, and Anglo-Saxons in the pre-Roman periods, L. A. Waddell transports his readers back to 3000 BC with new historical evidence. The writer presents his historic interpretation of the Newton Stone inscription, found in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in this fascinating analysis of Anglo-Saxon origin. Despite being a well-known archaeologist, Waddell’s various works on the history of civilisation have caused much controversy and he never gained recognition as a Sumerologist.
