Far westward lies an isle of ancient fame,
By nature blessed, and Scotia is her name:
An island rich - exhaustless is her store
Of veiny silver and golden ore:
Her verdant fields with milk and honey flow,
Her woolly fleeces vie with virgin snow,
Her waving furrows float with verdant corn,
And Arms and Arts her envied sons adorn

- Donatus -
(Bishop of Fiesole, 802 AD)

Man's Irrefutable Errors

The Irish are one of the most ancient nations that I know of at this end of the world, and are from as mighty a race as the world ever brought forth - Edward Spenser (writer, and British Government official in Ireland, AD 1596)

In this volume we seek to present, in as erudite a manner as possible, the case for the Irish origins of civilization. We have been driven to publicly present the fruits of our lifelong inquiry into this subject partly because we wish to correctly frame our efforts at historical revisionism. Our revisionism exists so that men might discover what has been hidden from them regarding history and religion. Only with correct knowledge of the past can men build a sane world fit to live in. The man living his life in confusion, impotency, and fear, is the man expertly trained to forget where he has come from. From his precarious pedestal his vision of the world is skewed and limited and his fall into the void prevented only by externally provided stabilizers. Such a man remains existentially weak, like a fragile sapling in danger of breaking in a light breeze let alone in a mighty storm. Alternatively, the strong man has a sense of where he has come from. He stands upon his own feet and from a stable pedestal views both past and future with clear fearless eyes. He does not prevaricate when it comes to questions of justice. He hastens to challenge those who would strangle him in webs of ignorance and works relentlessly to expose the criminality of those who have in ages past massacred his ancestors, and presently threaten his hard won physical and mental freedom. The strong man knows his job is to build well upon the solid foundations laid by his ancestors. He wages perpetual war against those who attempt to burn down those foundations. Serving the will of his ancestors is the strong man's passion. The weak man, on the other hand, meekly heeds the commands of deceivers bent upon using ancient occult knowledge to physically and spiritually undermine his brothers and sisters in the world. The strong undefeatable man knows his enemies and how to correctly deal with them. He has studied their nature and the knowledge they perversely use as a weapon against him and all humanity.

The simple minded will believe anything: but the wise looketh well into everything he does - (Proverbs 14:15)

Our revisionist work is certainly controversial, and we acknowledge the resistance our inquiries will face. Fortunately, the disbelief and consternation of those unsettled by our revelations mean nothing to us. We are not motivated by the lure of awards, flowers, and speeches. We are in dread earnest in our opposition to despots who, on a daily basis, clearly demonstrate their contempt for truth, freedom, and justice. We stand against the tyrannous architects of the “New World Order” rising from the ashes of an old order humanity is not meant to know existed. We oppose this new inhuman Atonist order without fear or fright, and pity its makers for their psychosis and spiritual vacuity. Their days of infamy and oppression are coming to an end and it only remains for us to dig deep the graves into which they will inevitably crash, along with their treachery and megalomania. To such work we are temperamentally well suited. Certainly, we are not in opposition to religion as it is practiced by the sincere independent devotee. We do not seek to intrude into that space reserved for private worship. But we do stand opposed to the institutions that have inserted themselves and their mythology between the individual and his creator. We do not intend to offer any disclaimer and dedicate ourselves passionately to our free thought and analysis of the phantasmagorias placed before us by the institutions of the world. Our attitude is best expressed by the German historian Max Muller who, in 1878, wrote:

A comparison of all the religions of the world, in which none can claim a privileged position, will no doubt seem to many dangerous and reprehensible...But this I will say, that, as far as my humble judgment goes, it does not entail the loss of anything that is essential to true religion, and that, if we strike the balance honestly, the gain is immeasurably greater than the loss...All truth is safe, and nothing else is safe; and he who keeps back the truth, or withholds it from men...is either a coward or a criminal, or both - (The Science of Religion)

What are civilizations made of? How do they come about? Are the foundations of our civilization strong or weak? Are these questions meaningful to modern men and women? Perhaps they are, and perhaps not.

In any case, when we examine the deep foundations of civilization, we discover something fascinating. We discover that our ancestors had based their lives upon instruction taken from the heavens above their heads. The night sky was the veritable altar of ancestral man. All that occurred in it was reverently observed, recorded, and contemplated. Was this superstition or something else? And what could have prompted such devotion? Who first developed the idea to look up to the starry sky for instruction? Who first decided to map the rotating paths of the sun and moon and to demarcate the zodiac's twelve signs? And was this exercise a misguided waste of time and energy, or did it matter? Have human civilizations been founded and guided aright by those whose heads were well and truly "in the clouds?" Research into these questions and into "heavenly" matters reveals the zodiac to be a very mysterious and important phenomenon. It was referred to as the celestial mystery school for good reason since, strange as it may seem at first, the zodiac mirrors consciousness.

The men who looked up into the night sky were really looking into themselves. The gnosis of the heavens is the gnosis of the soul. Civilizations erected upon zodiacal principles are erected upon the infinite ancestral reservoir of knowledge within man's own being. There are no stronger foundations. As the Hermetic motto states: As Above, So Below.

Our present understanding of the zodiac is far from that of the ancient magi. The keepers of the mysteries of the heavens knew the zodiac to be a projection of the human unconscious and not merely an external phenomenon. There was nothing contained in the heavens and zodiac that did not dwell within the mind of man. There was nothing in nature that was not part of man. Nature was not seen as a having a separate or distinct life. Its life was man's life. Man's life was nature's life. Man and nature are one, and there is no separating the two. This is the sum of the lost knowledge of the ancients. The first people in recorded history to study the operations of the heavens and zodiac, and to understand the strange but intimate connections between physical and psychic energy, were the Druids from the "Fortunate" or "Blessed Isles." From these Elders the arcane archive of knowledge was surreptitiously appropriated by their enemies, the servants of darkness, whose biological and ideological descendants now rule the world. Despite coming under their vile blood-soaked hands it has not perished. It took birth in an age before our own in places lost to history and time, but not to memory.

Ayn Rand: Russian-American philosopher and author

This Gnosis is luminous and invincible. It is capable of enlightening those who approach with reverence and destroying those who refuse to do so. Civilizations that lose their foundations fall as surely as men without souls. Such is the law of life. Man can learn this law, and adapt to it, or he can ignore it. His choice determines his future. As the American philosopher Ayn Rand said: “Man is free to choose not to be conscious, but not free to escape the penalty of unconsciousness: destruction.”

Most historians accept that Egypt was a cradle of civilization, and that many cultural idioms and traditions come from there. What has yet to be understood, however, is the manner in which Egypt inherited its cultural elements from the lands of the North-West. This fact is not known today because of the threat it poses to Rome and London, the Vatican and Crown, and to all those who have profited from the suppression of knowledge. After all, what is the subject of history? It is the study of the past, certainly. But it is also the study of man. It is the attempt by men to find out who they are by analyzing and reviewing what they have been. Even though scientific methodologies have a role within the subject of history, history is not science. Most importantly, students of history can easily be misled. A lot of problems and errors can come about when men attempt to study men. Moreover, the subject itself may be deliberately manipulated and skewed so that little is truly known. Paradoxically, it takes time to erase the fallacies that men entertain about the past. The proof for what we say is evident to those who have taken the time to think about history and what has been taught to them about the world of the ancestors. The subject of history is less than 200 years old. In that time men have convinced themselves of the following suppositions, some of which have been regarded as irrefutable truths.

• There were no advanced pre-diluvian civilizations

• Early man was primitive, rude, and malevolent

• The Mesolithic and Megalithic sites throughout the world were constructed by unrelated races

• The ambassadors of civilization were Greeks, Romans, and Jews

• The various elements of civilization were brought by the "Chosen People" from East to West

• The Jews were uniquely distinguished. They possessed a naturally religious and moral disposition and were truly a god-inspired “chosen people”

• The Jews were slaves in Egypt and hard-pressed to preserve their unique identity and beliefs

• Egyptian religion and culture had no effect on Jewish beliefs and lifestyle

• The Hebrew language has no connection to the Egyptian

• Monotheism was essentially a Jewish phenomenon

• The Israelites were not given to idolatry

• The bible provides accurate accounts of historical occurrences

• The Jews were Semites

• Christianity is of Roman invention

• Race mattered to the ancients

• The word Aryan denoted race
   

Happily, these preposterous fallacies are finally being revised. Constantine the Great (who was proclaimed emperor in Britain, in the year 306 AD)and his bishops would have been very aware of the pagan myths and legends of the British Isles. Since the city of Rome is perfectly geomantically aligned with the sun-door of Newgrange tumulus in Ireland, we can confidently conclude that they would have known about the antiquity of Ireland and about Druidic traditions and teachings. Therefore, we must begin to realize just how supremely important it was for those Atonist sorcerers from Alexandria, Constantinople, Rome, Burgundy, and London, to plot the destruction of the original Druidic colleges in Ireland and throughout the ancient world. The druidic system is thought to have had its origin in Britain, from whence it was introduced into Gaul (Western Europe); and it is still customary for those who wish to study more thoroughly, to pass over into Britain for that purpose - Julius Caesar (Gallic Wars) ...the Irish system is the oldest surviving complete codified legal system in Europe with its roots in ancient Indo-European custom and not in Roman law, and is therefore the oldest surviving Celtic system of jurisprudence - Peter Berresford Ellis (The Druids)

The Stone of Bethel - the famous stone mentioned in the Old Testament actually sits in front of the doorway of Newgrange tumulus in County Meath Ireland. The three spirals upon it (and also inside the cairn) are unique. Many stones of this type have been deliberately turned face-in as an attempt to disguise the sophistication of this Megalithic site that predates the pyramids. This is the stone upon which "Jacob" rested his head when he dreamed of the ladder reaching from heaven to earth. Jacob is the sun which "rests" its light and "sleeps" upon this stone during the solstice. Jacob, or Jack, is the sun. The nursery rhyme that reads "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candlestick" refers to the sun passing over the celestial pole. The rhyme of "Jack and Jill" going "up the hill" is likewise a Astro-Theological device cryptically referring to the passage of the sun (Jack) and moon (Jill) through the northern zodiacal arch and their subsequent "Fall" into autumn and winter. England's "Union Jack" is really of "Jacob," cryptically referring to a Solar (or Atonist) Union. Click image to see more...

The traditions of the Irish people are the oldest of any race in Europe north and west of the Alps, and they themselves are the longest settled on their own soil - Edmund Curtis (A History of Ireland: From Earliest Times to 1922)

The vile Judeo-Christianity institution and its inhuman ideology would not have been able to endure if the pristine marvel of Irish Druidism remained strong and bright in the world of men. To this very day sacred prehistoric "Druidic" sites in Ireland and throughout Europe have been desecrated, tampered with, and even removed. Motorways continue to be constructed over ancient cairns and cromlechs, stone circles continue to be leveled, and geomantically positioned monuments aligned to the constellations are replaced by shopping malls, housing estates, and corporate towers. The testimony of Megalithic Europe and of the Western origin of civilization continues to be deliberately obliterated so that men are condemned to believe what they are told from official sources about their history and origins.

...the early craftsmanship and constructions from the Old Kingdom are the finest, and the quality of and dimensions of each monument reduces then on throughout the following millennia...there were a number of magnificent monuments that were made during mankind's early megalithic era. These include monuments as diverse as Stonehenge and Avebury in England, Teotihuacan in Mexico, Chou-Chou in Manchuria, Hagar Qim in Malta, Baalbek in Lebanon, Ephyra in Greece, Cuzco in Peru, Giza in Egypt, and the Osireion at Abydos. Despite the geographic diversity of these monuments, they all share some common features - they were built in the prehistoric era; they were all associated with religious centers; they were all made from megalithic architecture; they were mostly exquisitely carved and manufactured (often bafflingly so); and last but certainly not least, all of these monuments were utterly devoid of inscription...The granite megaliths carved into a giant jigsaw puzzle at Cuzco, and the 1,000 tonne bricks that were being used at Baalbek, would stretch any modern stone mason's imagination and skills to their limits....these temples were not dedicated to any one particular monarch, nor to any one particular god. They were, instead, dedicated to the observation and the study of the Universe - Ralph Ellis (Eden in Egypt)

The earliest people inhabiting Celtic territory in the West of Europe of whom we have any distinct knowledge are a race without name or known history, but by their sepulchral monuments, of which so many still exist, we can learn a great deal about them. They were the so-called Megalithic People, from Greek megas, great and lithos, a stone...Dolmens are found from Scandinavia southwards, all down the western lands of Europe to the Straits of Gibraltar, and round by the Mediterranean coast of Spain. They occur in some of the western islands of the Mediterranean, and are found in Greece, where, in Mycenae, an ancient dolmen yet stands beside the magnificent burial-chamber of the Atreidae. Roughly, if we draw a line from the mouth of the Rhone northward to Varanger Fiord, one may say that, except for a few Mediterranean examples, all the dolmens in Europe lie to the west of that line. To the east none are found till we come into Asia. But they cross the Straits of Gibraltar, and are found all along the North African littoral, and thence eastwards through Arabia, India, and as far as Japan - Thomas Rolleston (Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race, 1911)

The city of Rome is precisely geomantically and geographically aligned with the sun doors of Newgrange and Knowth tumuli, in County Meath, Ireland. Those responsible for this precise alignment obviously new the important role of ancient Ireland in world history. here

Judeo-Christianity, as we know it, is a creation of the Solar Cults of the ancient world. As an institution it is a construct of the Atonists, the renegade outcasts of Egypt’s eighteenth dynasty. After the termination of their dominion, the commanders of this powerful cult, seeking new empires, guided their people back to the place of beginning and subsequently set about erasing the archaic and sophisticated culture they found there. They overlaid their own corrupted traditions upon the more antique one that was soon forgotten. The story of this travesty exists within Irish and "Celtic" mythology. It has been concealed behind captivating drama-filled legends, some of which are still well known to Irish people and historians unaware of the hidden story that waits to be revealed.

As we show in Volume Two, the descendants of the Cult of Aton, those chief desecrators of the Druidic tradition, have long since re-established themselves in lands outside Egypt. They formed new bastions of power in Tanis, Alexandria, Athens, Rome, Burgundy, Paris, and London. These new centers of operation replaced the older ones at Heliopolis, Memphis, Avaris, Giza, and Amarna. Although the locations of power have changed through the ages, the agenda of the despots has not significantly altered. Empire remains the name of the game. In place of an old dynasty, an old "Dragon Court," there stands a new one. A new imperialism rises from the ashes of one that fell. The Atonists also conquered Ireland which, with its many monasteries and erudite monks, remained strongly Christian during the so-called "Dark Ages." The Solar Cult emperors of Christianity, together with the various bishops appointed by them, have always worked overtime to make sure the Druidic roots of their religious beliefs are obscured. In concert they have energetically set about obscuring the Druidic origins of their tenets and teachings. Editors and revisers were commissioned to do the heinous work. Most of them were hopelessly incompetent at the job and so their final compilation, the bibelot considered so sacred, reads as it does today. The later efforts at editing and revising undertaken by Francis Bacon and his team did little to improve the travesty. Most of the hired scribes and editors knew precious little about the world beyond their scriptoriums. Unlike their masters, their knowledge of Palestinian, Egyptian, and Irish history and customs, was paltry. They knew next to nothing about archaeology, geography, or ethnology. But that did not matter. The job of historical fabrication had to proceed and succeed despite the scandalously ravaged outcome.

Our revisionist work is made somewhat more challenging because most Christians know very little about the true origins of their religion and do not realize that most of what they read and hear about from priests and potentates is pure fiction with little to no basis in fact. They are not aware of how the Roman Church has fostered and unleashed upon their unsuspecting minds a battery of lies and fables in order to disguise the actual origins of religion. Nevertheless, we seek to show in the course of this work that Christianity, and its so-called parent Judaism, have their roots in Egypt and Ireland. And this holds true for the language and cultural idioms. This fact was commonly known the world over before the rise of the present imposter Roman hegemony. It was known in ancient times that Christianity, in its purest and most antique form, was nothing more nor less than Druidism from Ireland.

The antique unadulterated form of "Christianity" (Druidism) that existed in Ireland from the earliest times was a remnant of pre-diluvian theology. It was based on the observance and veneration of the stars, of the sun, the moon, and the zodiac. It was, from its inception a stellar religion. The bible, therefore, is not only based on Druidic philosophy, it is a sidereal testament disguised as a biography and history of physical personages who, for the most part, had no historical existence.

How this antique Druidic philosophy was flagrantly appropriated and abused is a fascinating story that must be told. We are personally interested in the reasons why it was thought best to denude the ancient theology of its connection to the stars and why it was then foisted upon the world in its present contorted and preposterous form. To this day, the ancient mystery school subjects of Astrology and Kabala, etc, are still taught to the elites within the Christian and Judaic colleges, to those of the highest caliber and lineage. This secret is not known by the lower rank and file and great steps have been taken to downplay the Astro-Theological aspect of the major religions. Although innumerable books are now in circulation, attempting to shine light into Christianity's darker corners, the sidereal and sabean connections have rarely been exposed. This kind of revelation is, perhaps, too controversial even to most revisionists, especially to those of the "soft" variety. Obviously, should this gnosis reach the ears of the masses not much will be left of the vile edifice of Vatican-style religion.

It would appear probable that the Celtic State worship was what is called "solar". All its chief festivals related to points in the sun's progress, the equinoxes having been considered more important than the solstices - Charles Squire (Celtic Myth and Legend)

The earliest farming sites in northern Europe are to be found in Ireland, occurring at approximately the same time as the cultivation of crops in the Mesopotamian River valley in the Near East - Arthur Kemp (March of the Titans)

...the national Triads of Wales, which are, according to Matthew Arnold and Prof. Max Muller, “the oldest literature in the oldest living language in Europe.” This “oldest (Celtic) literature” is the “Historic Triads of the Island of Britain,” of which one hundred and sixty are still in existence; they consist of the poems of the ancient Bards, and convey to us the religion, philosophy, and law of the early Britons. Like the Vedas of India, they were handed down by oral tradition; and not until the sixth century AD were they written down, by the bards of King Arthur’s court, Taliesin and Llynwarch Hen - Fredrick Haberman (Tracing Our Ancestors)

Historians and archaeologists have biased us to think of prehistoric or premodern cultures as societies of scarcity; this was certainly not the case in ancient Britain, as they had the time, as well as the determination, to plan and build their enormous outdoor temples, constructing from five to ten thousand stone circles over a thousand-year period - Daniel Pinchbeck (2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl)

These days we are a long way from the time when an Irishman's status and merit among his people came from his ability to compose poetry or play laments. A long way. The Irish are a raped people, a hurt people, and they have grown hard because of the inconceivable suffering they have endured throughout the cruel ages. Most Irishmen are backward looking and we see this idiosyncrasy as rather appropriate given the gravity of what has occurred on their land through time. Not that most Irishmen are aware of the facts concerning their turbulent history. Unfortunately, the desecration of Ireland extends to human memory as well as to history. But again, our investigation focuses not on the modern Irish, but on their ancestors. We are concerned with what the Irish were.

There has been maintained a smoke screen around Ireland since the English invasion and the consequent looting of the island with the destruction of her sacred shrines, which was meant to obscure her great past and her contribution in letters, science, culture, true religion, and civilization. It goes without saying that we owe more to ancient Ireland (Eire) for these blessings than to any other people or nation - Conor MacDari

Far from these ancestral Britons having been mere painted savages, roaming wild in the woods as we are imaginatively told in most of the modern histories, they are now, on the contrary, disclosed by newly found historical facts given by Professor Waddell, known to have been, from the very first grounding of their galley keels upon these shores, over a millennium and a half before the Christian era, a highly civilized and literate race, pioneers of civilization - Isabel Hill Elder (Celt, Druid, and Culdee, 1962)

There is no evidence whatsoever to support the myth that the pre-Roman British were savages or barbarians...who could equal the Romans themselves for savage lust and blood-thirstiness as witnessed in the butcheries of the Roman Coliseum, where thousands of people, Christians and prisoners of war, were thrown to wild beasts to feast the eyes of Roman youths and maidens. Those were "cultured" Romans of the "Classical Age," of which our educators rave. No evidence like that can ever be brought against the ancient British. England, the mother of liberty never saw any barbarities until the Roman persecutions...under Diocletian about 300 AD...A mob of untrained savages could not have held their ground against the Roman legions under Caesar himself, as the records of Caesar's two failures to invade Britain bear witness - Fredrick Haberman (Tracing Our Ancestors)

One of the great travesties of modern times is the indifference shown by the average Irishman to his own country's illustrious past. Those who come to browse the subject may be fooled into thinking that Wales, and not Ireland, was the original seat of Druidry. Most Welshmen would not contradict this false notion and most Irishmen would not be inclined to refute it. Sadly, few Irishmen would be able educate the curious investigator and remind them that the civilizations of Ireland far predate those of Wales.

It is hard upon Ireland that her Druids should have been so long neglected, and the honours of mystic wisdom become the sole possession of Wales. It is true, however, that the Irish have been less eager about their ancestral glory in that aspect, and have not put forward, as the Welsh have done, a Neo-Druidism to revive the reputation of the ancient Order. But Ireland had its Druids, and traditionary lore testifies that country in the acknowledgment of those magi or philosophers. The Welsh have a great advantage over the Irish in the reputed possession of a literature termed Druidical. They assume to know who the Druids were, and what they taught, by certain writings conveying the secret information. The Irish do not even pretend to any such knowledge of their Druids. The Welsh, therefore, look down with pity upon their insular neighbours, and plume themselves on being the sole successors of a people who were under true Druidical teaching, and whose transmitted records reveal those mysteries - James Bonwick (Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions, 1894)

Historians and investigators who foam at the mouth to discover a pharaoh's humble grave in Ireland, or a mummified ape in Northern Ireland, or an Egyptian string of beads in a pit, need to begin getting their minds around the Irish origins of civilization. Such a notion would not only put to shame their relatively paltry discoveries but would compel them to realize the magnitude of the deception that exists, as well as the utter insidiousness of those purveyors of the lies that have laid siege to the truth. Man traveled from East to West: Such is the accepted and endlessly repeated dogma first disseminated by Caesar and Roman "historians." Culture spread Westward from the Levant. So have most people been conditioned to believe. And yet, it still comes as a shock to most people when headlines report that Egyptian artifacts have been found at remote regions of the Emerald Isle.

Investigators throw up their hands and papers go flying. How could Easterners have traveled across the sea in boats they were not meant to have had? How and why did they navigate the seas and oceans and go to such places, live and die there, and leave their remains behind? Such questions, concerning the East to West movement, apparently still puzzle those who have a limited understanding of the past and of the relationships between ancient nations. The fact that Egyptian relics have been found in Ireland, that Nordic runes exist in Bosnia, that Irish structures (such as the Ohio Serpent Mound and Round Towers) are found in the Americas, or that the Japanese Ainu and American Algonquin languages are obviously derived from Irish, does not spur the average academic or individual to question what he has been told and what he has learned. No! The textbooks don't mention any of it and the professors and "experts" on TV ridicule such ideas. Ergo, they must not be true. The sane person constantly analyses the world of reality and then changes what’s inside his or her head to fit the facts. That’s an awful lot of trouble for most people. Besides, how many people want to constantly change their opinions to fit the facts? It’s a whole lot easier to change the facts to fit your opinions. Unsane people make up their minds and they find the facts to “verify” their opinions. Or even more commonly, they accept the opinion of the nearest “expert” and then they don’t have to bother about the facts at all - Jack Trout (Positioning: The Battle For Your Mind)
		Irish sun crosses clearly based on the zodiac and four cardinal points. The cross and concept of a solar Christ long predate Christianity

It is our belief that we are not meant to look back to prehistoric times because of what will be discovered. We are not to look to prehistory, to Atlantis, Lemuria, and the ante-diluvian epochs. We are certainly not supposed to look to the North-West for the origins of culture and civilization. We are only supposed to look Eastward even though the hard evidence for the Eastern origins of civilization is pitifully scarce to say the least. Yes, great structures such as the Giza Pyramid stand upon Egyptian soil, but the structure bears no hieroglyphs and has no dead Egyptian inside. Moreover, the vast majority of the "tombs" of Egypt were plundered not by poor scoundrels, as we are told, but by very rich and powerful ones from Rome hoping to occlude the facts concerning the origins of their architects. The demagogues of religion, this Roman (Atonist) priestarchy, own and control Ireland, the land they have long raped and humbled. Let there be no doubt about it.
 

There they sit controlling the schools, universities, media-networks, and minds of their "flock," hiding behind their various churches, seminaries, and "charities," making sure that no evidence or teaching comes to light that exposes them for the villains they are. No, we are not to look to the West. We are told to look only to the East for our answers. Any other kind of study or research is considered meaningless, useless, and even taboo. The vast majority of scholars, including most of the world's well-meaning revisionists, habitually look to the Middle-East and to officially accepted dates when composing their various intriguing theories. But what if culture and civilization did not originate in the Middle-East? What happens if the origins of all that we know, see, and read about when it comes to religion, technology, culture, and symbolism, etc, began in Ireland by way of the lost continents of old. What if the high civilization of Egypt did not originate in Egypt but further West, from the place known to Egyptians as the "sacred land of the setting sun?" Well, this was the theory expounded by the maverick scholars and alternative historians Anna Wilkes, Conor MacDari, and Comyns Beaumont. But we ask again, what would happen to our conception of history if we understood these aforementioned Eastward migrations to be a second and later wave coming after previous migrations into Southern and Eastern lands from the North-West? Does this idea not turn history, as we know it, upside-down? It does. And such a theory will upset most readers and researchers brought up on the fallacies concocted for them by the world's perfidious academic authorities. However, the same theories that unsettle the conformist mind inspires and liberates those who have always distrusted the official staples. Extremist revisionists, such as this writer, are more than suspicious of any theory disseminated by official sources. We distrust such theories on sight. The very fact that they are official, widely disseminated and accepted is, in our estimation, proof of their invalidity. As we approach the end of the "Piscean Age" of deception we know that such fallacies and lies will be exposed in favor of the Truth.

Elizabeth Tudor - The Queen of England who suppressed Irish culture by expressly forbidding Irish traditional modes such as poetry, music, and the Gaelic language. This suppression was age old. After the initial conquest of Ireland, the bards were methodically tracked down and murdered. The bards preserved the knowledge of the lineage of all Irish kings and nobles. Their annihilation ensured that the Irish nobility were gradually divorced from their ancient traditions. This deliberate campaign of suppression was well documented. Additionally, the Vatican forbade travel to the West in order to ensure that the existence of Ireland  and the presence and teachings of the Druids remained unknown

		Expert on Vatican intrigue, the great Avro Manhattan, detailed in his fine works how the Roman church had obscured the legacy of the ancient Irish. Through their agents, such as Oliver Cromwell, they commissioned the burning, looting, and wholesale destruction of the evidence that revealed what had been. There was to be no threat or hindrance to their advance toward world domination. That the Christian church had been born in Ireland, and that its devious hierarchs had appropriated their canon from the Irish Druids, were facts to be buried and hidden forever. On the subject of Ireland's desecration, Baron Manhattan wrote: Pagan temples were either closed, transformed into Christian shrines or demolished. Their properties were summarily added to the Church's patrimony. The wealth of sundry religions were mercilessly expropriated, their clergy dismissed or persecuted, when not civilly or even physically obliterated - (Vatican Billions) Once their "scorched earth" policy proved successful, the hierarchs of Rome could sit back and breathe easy. Their loyal lieutenants (the Jesuits) would rule Ireland in their name and the last remnants of the ancient stellar church would fade from the historical record and from the minds of men.
Baron Avro Manhattan (1940-1990): The Anti-Fascist author and expert on the Jesuit Order. His books reveal the full extent of Papist world tyranny

After Christians had spent years destroying books and libraries, St. John Chrysostom, the pre-eminent Greek Father of the Church, proudly declared, "Every trace of the old philosophy and literature of the ancient world has vanished from the face of the earth - Helen Ellerbe (The Dark Side of Christian History)

From the sixth century AD onward the Christian monks of Ireland had set about obscuring the truth concerning the civilizations of the West. If we are in ignorance about the true history of the world, and particularly about the role of Britain and Ireland in world affairs, it is due entirely to the devices and designs of the Roman Church and the more secretive ancient organization that has used Judeo-Christianity as its front from the beginning.

...it appears that the population of Ireland came from the West, and not from Asia - that it was one of the many waves of population flowing out from the Island of Atlantis - and herein we find the explanation of that problem which has puzzled the Aryan scholars. As Ireland is farther from the Punjab than Persia, Greece, Rome, or Scandinavia, it would follow that the Celtic wave of migration must have been the earliest sent out from the Sanskrit centre; but it is now asserted by Professor Schleicher and others that the Celtic tongue shows that it separated from the Sanskrit original tongue later than the others, and that it is more closely allied to the Latin than any other Aryan tongue. This is entirely inexplicable upon any theory of an Eastern origin of the Indo-European races, but very easily understood if we recognize the Aryan and Celtic migrations as going out about the same time from the Atlantean fountain-head. There are many points confirmatory of this belief. In the first place, the civilization of the Irish dates back to a vast antiquity - Ignatius Donnelly (Atlantis: the Antediluvian World, 1882)

...there is no evidence in the British Isles to suggest that a population group of any size migrated from the continent in the first millennium BC - Sir Barrington Windsor Cunliffe (Iron Age Britain)

Even though the devastating cataclysms that obliterated the antique civilizations left survivors in a desperate physical state, it did not leave them in as primitive a condition as we are compelled to believe from the writings of historians of later ages, erroneously convinced their Neolithic cave-dwellers were the first civilized specimens on Earth. A study of the myriad Mesolithic and Megalithic ruins of Britain and Europe (created as requiems in stone to vanished technology of lost ages), of the various cyclopean remains of sunken cities and Earth zodiacs, and of the worldwide petroglyphic record, convinces us that the official dates given for human technological development are inaccurate and unsustainable. In short, there is a big difference between the sorry prehistoric creatures conjured before us by myopic historians and those who, having been robbed of their advanced cultural trappings and displaced from ancestral habitats, were subsequently compelled to rebuild empires after the originals had been obliterated by ferocious forces believed to have been unleashed by angry and vengeful gods. The situation is perfectly explained by Comyns Beaumont, one of the very few men to refute the welter of historical fallacies concerning primordial humanity:

The presence of the Irishman among the Palos sailors was no fortuitous circumstance. Fray Ortega tells us that every year down to 1492 these Spanish mariners had sought the Island of Saint Brandon, who as the Book of Lismore tells us...was the founder of the Monastery of Clonfert in the eighth century, and wandered up and down the coast of Kerry "seeking for traditions of the Western Continent" and praying that "the hidden land" might be revealed to them

The Greeks in their myths and legends always placed the Hesperides in the farthest west…Jordanus, the Gothic historian, described the north as the “forge of mankind” - Comyns Beaumont (The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain)

There is no legend of the Fomorians coming into Ireland, nor were they regarded as at any time a regular portion of the population. They were coeval with the world itself - Thomas Rolleston (Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race, 1911)

The Partholans, it is said, had to do battle with a strange race, called the Fomorians...They were a huge, misshapen, violent and cruel people, representing, we may believe, the powers of evil - ibid

With a host of these demons Partholan fought for the lordship of Ireland, and drove them out to the northern seas, whence they occasionally harried the country under its later rulers - ibid

The Fomorians were then enabled to establish their tyranny over Ireland. They had at this period two kings, Morc and Conann. The stronghold of the Fomorian power was on Tory Island...a fit home for this race of mystery and horror. They extracted a crushing tribute from the people of Ireland, two-thirds of all the milk and two-thirds of the children of the land. At last the Nemedians rise in revolt. Led by three chiefs, they land on Tory Island, capture Conann's Tower, and Conann himself falls by the hand of the Nemedian chief, Fergus. But Morc at this moment comes into the battle with a fresh host, and utterly routs the Nemedians, who are all slain but thirty - ibid

The monkish chroniclers betray the fact that they did not know about the land bridges that once existed between Ireland and England, and England and Scandinavia. These land bridges existed up until 3000 BC when rising sea levels obliterated them. Satellite photography has recently confirmed the theories of the geologist, Professor Ulf Erlingsson, who set about proving the existence of these bridges. His findings have had a most important effect on the false ideas concerning the remoteness of the British Isles. His scientific discoveries verify that Britain was a part of Atlantis, and confirm our suspicions concerning the historical inversion perpetrated by the Christian monks who wished it to appear that Eastern migrants had first colonized an unoccupied Ireland. As said, these monks were not inclined to accept or admit that the Earth had been host to advanced pre-diluvian civilizations, or that the Earth itself was over 4,000 years old. Whatever existed was mentioned in the bible and there was little to add. What was written in the bible was all a monk had to know about his world. For the Christian there could be no Atlantis or Lemuria. There could be nothing that was not contained in the bible. The bible did speak of the giants and of titanic fallen angels, and so a scribe could permissibly claim the Formorians to be of such lineage. The bible did speak of technically endowed Adamites and Canaanites, and so a scribe could permissibly speak of the Iberians and Tuatha de Danann. If it corroborated the bible it was entered as history. If it did not corroborate the bible it would be skewed or suppressed and most likely never see the light of day. For these reasons, it is irrational to believe that the monkish scribes of Ireland have provided us with historically accurate accounts concerning the world of the past. We can merely endeavor to take on board the newly discovered scientific evidence about Ireland and its geographical tribulations and surmise what we have not been told about Britain. Once we have an idea of what was omitted from the annals and chronicles we can gradually reconstruct the facts about pre-diluvian Ireland.

Three divine and heroic cycles of myths are known in Ireland, one telling of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the others of Cúchulainn and of the Fians. They are distinct in character and contents, but the gods of the first cycle often help the heroes of the other groups, as the gods of Greece and India assisted the heroes of the epics. We shall see that some of the personages of these cycles may have been known in Gaul; they are remembered in Wales, but, in the Highlands, where stories of Cúchulainn and Fionn are still told, the Tuatha Dé Danann are less known…As the new Achaean religion in Greece and the Vedic sacred books of India regarded the aboriginal gods and heroes as demons and goblins, so did Christianity in Ireland sometimes speak of the older gods there - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts)

Despite the best efforts of clerics and historians it is only the last group of invaders - the Milesians - who can positively be shown to have come to Ireland from the East for the first time. The story of the visitation of the Milesians is of central importance to our work. We will explore it in greater detail in another chapter. What interests us is that these Milesians, the descendants of Celts from Scythia, have been linked with the Israelites whose exodus from Egypt occurred after the fall of Akhenaton around 1300 BC. Historians date the Milesian invasion of Ireland to approximately 1000 BC, but we believe it to have occurred at a few hundred years earlier. This is because a daughter of Akhenaton, named Scota, is believed to have accompanied the Milesians on their journey to Ireland. Her real name was Meritaten and she (or a namesake daughter) is buried in Country Kerry. It is from the time of the Milesian invasion from the Eastern lands that Ireland's so-called "Historical Cycle" begins. According to records and accounts the Milesians regarded their predecessors, the Tuatha De Danann, as nothing less than gods.

By the Milesians and their descendants they were regarded as gods, and ultimately, in the imagination of the people, they became what are now in Ireland called 'Fairies." They conquered the Firbolgs, an Iberian or a Belgic people, at the battle of Moytura - (Old Celtic Romances, 1894, translated by P. W. Joyce)

The meaning formerly given to Tuatha Dé Danann was "the men of science who were gods," danann being here connected with dán, "knowledge" - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts)

The 'Irish World Chronicles,' a section in The Annals of Inisfallen that covers the historical period from the creation of the world to AD 432, says that the Tuatha de Danann were mythical masters of Ireland in around 1500 BC, before the arrival of "the sons of Mil." - Maurice Cotterell (Jesus, King Arthur and the Journey of the Grail)

The Tuatha-de-Dananns seem to have been a civilized people; besides possessing ships and armies and working in the metals, they had an organized body of surgeons, whose duty it was to attend upon the wounded in battle; and they had also a bardic or Druid class, to preserve the history of the country and the deeds of kings and heroes - Ignatius Donnelly (Atlantis, the Antediluvian World)

Duplicitous historians, desperate to conceal the Western origins of the De Dannan, erroneously insist that they were related to the Danes, Trojans, or even to the biblical Tribe of Dan. They have also sought to arouse doubt as to whether the De Dannan magi of Ireland were of the Caucasian (Indo-European) Race.

However, it is not that the De Dannan were descended from the tribe of Dan but that the bible's Danites were related, either racially or ideologically, to the Irish De Dannan. In any case, after their final defeat at the hands of the Milesians (the Gaels), the De Danann transmuted their physical form and thereby became the mysterious Sidhe (pronounced Shee), or dei terreni ("gods of the Earth"), that is the Faerie Race who reputedly inhabited the inner Earth. Of all the beings in the Irish mythological world the Sidhe are, however, apparently the oldest and the most distinctive. Beside them in literature and general renown all other beings sink into insignificance. A belief in them formerly dominated the whole of Irish life. The Sidhe or Tuatha De Danann were a people like ourselves who inhabited the hills--not as a rule the highest and most salient eminences, but I think more usually the pleasant undulating slopes or gentle hill-sides--and who lived there a life of their own, marrying or giving in marriage, banqueting or making war, and leading there just as real a life as is our own. All Irish literature...abounds with reference to them - W. Y. Evans-Wentz (The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries, 1911)
		Grianán an Aileach - ("Stone House of the Sun") - the massive site on the summit of Grianan Hill outside Derry City in Co. Donegal, is the supposed burial site of Lord Nuada, high king of the Tuatha de Danann

The term tuatha (from the Old Irish root tuath) does mean "tribe." However, the term comes from the same root as thuaidh, meaning "Northern" or "Northern Point." The De Danann were from the North-West, as their own legends stated. They were the Hyperboreans and were clearly the ancestors of the so-called Teutons (an early Germanic tribe). The word is also connotatively related to the Old Irish tuas or thuas meaning "up" or "above;" to tuaithe that signified "sorcerers" or "magicians;" and to tuathgeinte meaning "elven," or "faerie," or "blessed good folk." The term Danu relates to the Irish goddess of that name. She was a goddess of art, craft, and beauty. Some scholars prefer, therefore, to regard and describe the Tuatha de Danann as the "People of Art" or the "Artful Ones." And we think this is an accurate title given the exquisiteness of their craftsmanship in silver and stone.

Col. Vallencey has proved, as clear as the sun at noon, that the ancient gods of the Greeks and Romans came from the Hyperboreans - Godfrey Higgins

Such a great people were the De Danann, and so uncommonly skilled in the few arts of the time, that they dazzled even their conquerors and successors, the Milesians, into regarding them as mighty magicians. Later generations of the Milesians to whom were handed down the wonderful traditions of the wonderful people they had conquered, lifted them into the mystic realm, their greatest ones becoming gods and goddesses, who supplied to their successors a beautiful mythology - Seumus McManus (Story of the Irish Race)

According to their own lore (found in the Lebar Gabala, or "Book of Invasions") the De Danann were survivors from four paradisiacal Western (Atlantic) islands that either foundered or suffered enormous natural assault during a great natural catastrophe or flood. These original homelands were called Falias, Murias, Gorias, and Finias. And it is most curious that the island named Murias should be so similar in type to Lemuria. If we take the letter "L" to represent "the," then L'muria is undoubtedly the Murias of the De Danann. De Danann lore also speaks of several other enchanted isles that played a major role in the adventures of their various heroes, kings, and gods. The chief characters from the myths of the matriarchal Tuatha De Danann are:

Danu - (Dana, Ana, Anu, chief goddess and "Mother of the Gods")
Brigit - (or Bride, a later form of Danu)
Bel - (Bal, Bile, Baal, her consort)
Ernmas - (grand-daughter of Nuada. A mother goddess. Morrigu, Fodla, Banba, and Eri were her daughters)
Nuada Airgetlam - ("Nuada of the Silver Arm," the High King)
Lugh - (The sun god, called Samildanach - "Master of all the Arts")
Dadga - (god of plenty, similar to Hercules or Pluto)
Manannan Mac Lir - (god of the sea, prototype for Poseidon and Neptune)
Aengus - (son of Dagda Mor, he was the god of love and king of the Faerie)
Midir - (god of the Underworld, of the Sidhe, he was married to the most beautiful woman in the world, Etain. The saga of Midir and Etain is the oldest romance in recorded history)
Oghma - (god of strength and language, prototype for Mercury and Hermes)
Diancecht - (god of medicine and healing)
Goibniu - (or Goban, the smith of the gods, prototype for Vulcan and Hephaestus)
Cairpre - (poet, enchanter, prototype of Merlin and Taliesin)
Airmed - (daughter of Dian Cecht, and healer. Connected with herbalism)
The Morrigu - (known as “the terror,” she was the De Danann raven and war queen. A prototype for Morgana Le Fay, she was probably a prototype for the Biblical Lilith. Her sisters were Badb, Nemain, and Macha. She was a consort of Nuada. Her name is derived from the Gaelic mor meaning "great," or "giant," and rigan, meaning "queen")
Badb - (pronounced Baav, war queen, known as "the Fury." Her name meant the "vulture" or "battle crow")
Macha - (war queen, presumed buried at Ard Macha, or County Armagh)
Boann - (wife of the Dagda, goddess of rivers)

The De Danann arrived to the shores of Ireland on the first day of May, the Irish Beltane, or "Day of Bel," god of the Earth. With them they brought four specific treasures that were sacred symbols to their race. These treasures were:

• The Sword of Nuada - (known as "Retaliator," it was the prototype for the Arthurian Excalibur

• The Lance of Lugh - (that operated on its own in battle)

• The Cauldron of the Dagda - (that was a pot of plenty that never ran dry)

• The Stone of Manannan Mac Lir - (also known as the Lia Fail, or Stone of Fal)

Interestingly, these four Irish-Druidic artifacts are understood to be the exact prototypes of the four suits found in the Tarot and traditional playing cards. These suits are known as the wands, swords, cups, and disks, or clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds.

There were four cities in which the Tuatha Dé Danann learnt wisdom and magic...These are the names of the cities: Failias and Findias, Goirias and Murias. From Failias was brought the Lia Fail, which is at Tara, and which used to cry out under each king who assumed the sovereignty of Ireland. From Gorias was brought the sword which belonged to Nuada. From Findias was brought the spear of Lug. And from Murias was brought the caldron of the Dagda...No battle was maintained against the spear of Lug or against him who had it in his hand. No-one escaped from the sword of Nuada after he had been wounded by it, and when it was drawn from its warlike scabbard, no-one could resist against him who had it in his hand. Never went an assembly of guests away unsatisfied from the caldron of the Dagda. And the Lia Fail, which is at Tara, never spoke except under a king of Ireland - (From: The Four Jewels of the Tuatha Dé Danann, in The Yellow Book of Lecan)

Whether the Tuatha Dé Danann came from earth or heaven, they landed in a dense cloud upon the coast of Ireland on the mystic first of May without having been opposed, or even noticed...That those might still be ignorant of their coming, the Morrígú, helped by Badb and Macha, made use of the magic they had learned in Findias, Gorias, Murias, and Falias. They spread "druidically-formed showers and fog-sustaining shower-clouds" over the country, and caused the air to pour down fire and blood upon the Fir Bolgs, so that they were obliged to shelter themselves for three days and three nights - Charles Squire (Celtic Myth and Legend)

According to the legends, the De Danann were obliged to fight wars against the resident Fomorians and Iberian Fir Bolg in order to gain control over the land. The conflict with the Fir Bolg commenced in Western island in what is now Country Sligo. The De Danann and Fir Bolg were of the same race and after their combat Ireland was divided between them.

It was on Midsummer Day that the opposing armies at last met. The people of the goddess Danu appeared in "a flaming line", wielding their "red-bordered, speckled, and firm shields". Opposite to them were ranged the Fir Bolgs, "sparkling, brilliant, and flaming, with their swords, spears, blades, and trowel-spears" - Charles Squire (Celtic Myth and Legend)

The Fir Bolg get their name from fir (meaning "men"), and bel (meaning "fair" or beautiful"), or belos (meaning "shining" or "bright"). They may even have been worshippers of the primordial Irish god Bel. Given that this is the origin of their name, it logically follows that the Bolg and their two related tribes, the Fir Gaileon and the Fir Domnann, had evacuated their ancient homeland and made their to those regions today known as Greece and Bulgaria. We believe the word Bulgaria is derived from the name of the Fir Bolg. And some evidence exists to suggest that this Irish race did play a significant role in the development of that land's ancient culture. The letters "B" and "V" were often interchanged. Place names such as Volga may derive from Bolg. In order to conceal the real meaning of the name Bolg, duplicitous historians have translated the name as "bags" and idiotically labeled the Fir Bolg "Men of the Bags." This is because the word bolg is close to terms denoting long trousers and also small boats made from leather. The great scholar Godfrey Higgins silenced this drivel and explained in his monumental works that the word bolg was really derived from a word meaning "wisdom." To Higgins the Fir Bolg were the "Men of Wisdom." Upon this fact we concur. We have little doubt that they were magi from the pre-diluvian epoch who had strayed as rovers into European lands but whose original homeland was Ireland (or Atlantis). The word bile signified a sacred tree and so it is possible the Fir Bolg, when their name is correctly translated, were known as "Men of the Trees." This would equate them with the Druids and also with kingship, since the symbolism of kings and trees was closely related. “Men Who Carried Leather Bags,” “Men Who Wore Trousers,” or the “Tree Kings.” Which one of these titles sounds most likely to have distinguished a remarkable race of goddess worshippers who ruled Ireland for centuries from their beautifully positioned capital at Tara? The answer appears rather obvious.

The incarnate god was probably representative of a god or spirit of earth, growth, or vegetation, represented also by a tree. A symbolic branch of such a tree was borne by kings, and perhaps by Druids, who used oak branches in their rites. King and tree would be connected, the king's life being bound up with that of the tree...The Irish bile or sacred tree, connected with the kings, must not be touched by any impious hand, and it was sacrilege to cut it down - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts)

The word bolg may also be rendered belg, and since the letter "B" was often interchanged with the similar-sounding letter "P," belg can be rendered pelg. The words bolg or belg, as we have said, could have been the origin of Bulgaria. Pelg might be the origin of Pelasgian, the name of the ancestors of the Greeks. Grecian historians do admit that the Pelasgians, whoever they were, originated in Western climes. The Bolgs, Belegs, or Pelegs, may have been named after the sun god Bel, which is why they were called the "shining" or "bright" ones. It may derive from the fact that they were handsome in appearance. After all, the famous Helen of Troy was reported to be comely and radiant. Yes, and her name is akin to Helios meaning the sun. She was bright and beautiful and was compared to the sun. That is what we suspect occurred with the Fir Bolg. The Fir Bolg divided Ireland into five provinces. These still exist today and are known as Ulster, Munster, Leinster, Connaught, and Meath.

• Other words and place names that appear to have referenced the ancient god Bel, are Belfast, Beltaine, Baltic, and Palestine (from Pelishtim, meaning Philistines)

According to texts dating from the eleventh century, the Tuatha De Danann's battle with the Fomorians (known in Gaelic as Mag Tuireadh na b-Fomorach because it was fought on the Northern plain of Moytura in County Sligo), proved to be a different kettle of fish to that which occurred between them and the Fir Bolg. For one thing, it involved years of concerted methodical preparation under the direction of the sun god Lugh.

Apparently, the Fomorians were a devilish hybrid race, similar to the Titans, who had harassed every tribe that had attempted to seek refuge on Ireland. They had decimated the Children of Partholan, who are allegedly buried in plague graves outside Dublin, and had harassed the Nemedians to the point of annihilation. The Iberians (Fir Bolg) were able to resist Fomorian assaults due to their larger numbers but had never successfully defeated them in battle. The Fomorian princes had their headquarters on Tory Island north of Derry City in County Donegal (which means "place of the strangers" or "foreigners"). Their name allegedly derives from the Gaelic famhair), or Welsh foawr, meaning “giant” and from fo ("under") muir ("sea"). However, the name probably derives from fo morio, meaning "great ones." The name of their king, Elathan, has been connected to words that mean "knowledge." We conclude that the Fomorians were not from under the sea but from civilizations that had sunk beneath the sea. The legends state that two Fomorian kings, Marc and Conan, had built what is clearly described as "a glass tower" upon Tory Island. From this tower they kept a close watch over the mainland by way of a magic crystal lens. Although the majority of the kings and chiefs of the Fomorians were hideous in physical aspect, their king Elathan was considered the most beautiful of beings. His son Breas was also known as "the Beautiful." Breas' mother was a De Danann and by way of her he had legitimate claim to the throne of the Children of Danu. After attaining the throne he sided with his father's race and hard pressed the De Danann by taxes and unfair judgments. His actions precipitated the final conflict between the sons of light and sons of darkness.

The Tarot - first appears in Irish mythology. The prototypes of the Tarot suits were brought to Ireland from four lost islands, one of which was called "Murias" (Lemuria). The Tarot links Ireland's Elders  (Druids) to Egypt

...in spite of Bres being so beautiful, his reign brought no great good luck to his people; for the Fomor, whose dwelling-place was beyond the sea, or as some say below the sea westward, began putting tribute on them, the way they would get them under their own rule. It was a long time before that the Fomor came first to Ireland; dreadful they were to look at, and maimed - Lady Gregory (Gods and Fighting Men, 1904)

For seven years Lugh had the De Danann practice and prepare for this Gaelic "Mahabharata." The Fomorians were destroyed and the war queens of the De Danann, led by the Morrigu, pursued the Fomorians in the form of wolves and ravens until all were caught and slain. As a traditional poem on the war recounts:

Over his head is shrieking, A lean hag, quickly hopping, Over the points of the weapons and shields; She is the gray-haired Morrígú

During the war with the Formorians (that commenced in the sign of Scorpio at the eve of Samhain) the De Danann conjured the assistance of the Earth itself. The mountains, rivers, and lakes came to their assistance and obeyed the commands of the De Danann magi and poets:

"We will hurl by our magic arts," replied Mathgan, the head sorcerer, "the twelve mountains of Ireland at the Fomors. These mountains will be Slieve League, Denna Ulad, the Mourne Mountains, Bri Ruri, Slieve Bloom, Slieve Snechta, Slemish, Blai-Sliab, Nephin, Sliab Maccu Belgodon, Segais, and Cruachan Aigle..."We will hide away by magic the twelve chief lakes and the twelve chief rivers of Ireland from the Fomors, so that they shall not be able to find any water, however thirsty they may be; those waters will conceal themselves from the Fomors so that they shall not get a drop, while they will give drink to the people of the goddess Danu as long as the war lasts, even if it last seven years." And they told Lugh that the twelve chief lakes were Lough Derg, Lough Luimnigh, Lough Corrib, Lough Ree, Lough Mask, Strangford Lough, Lough Laeig, Lough Neagh, Lough Foyle, Lough Gara, Lough Reagh, and Márloch, and that the twelve chief rivers were the Bush, the Boyne, the Bann, the Nem, the Lee, the Shannon, the Moy, the Sligo, the Erne, the Finn, the Liffey, and the Suir" - (From Celtic Myth and Legend, by Charles Squire)

Then the kings and chief men of the men of Ireland took their armour on them, and they raised the points of their spears over their heads, and they made close fences of their shields. And they attacked their enemies...and their enemies answered them, and they threw their whining spears at one another, and when their spears were broken they drew their swords from their blue-bordered sheaths and began to strike at one another, and thickets of brown flames rose above them from the bitterness of their many-edged weapons - Lady Gregory (Gods and Fighting Men, 1904)

The battle was commemorated in stone since, wherever a prominent hero fell, a cairn, dolmen, stone circle, or other kind of tomb, was later constructed. The resulting megalithic conglomeration, although not well known, is one of the most awe inspiring in the world. Many of the sites have been desecrated and over the years local farmers have plundered the various De Danann tombs of their large rocks and stones in order to bolster the walls between their pastures and for the building of nearby houses and churches. The area near the town of Cong, not far from the battle fields, is honeycombed with underground rivers, tunnels, and caves. These locations have been considered sacred haunts of the Faerie and the preternatural Sidhe.

Megalithic structures of almost every kind are found among them - stone cairns with dolmens in their interiors, dolmens standing open and alone, dolmens surrounded by one, two, or three circles of stones, and circles without dolmens - to the number of over a hundred. Sixty-four of such prehistoric remains stand together upon an elevated plateau not more than a mile across, and make the battle-field of Moytura, though the least known, perhaps the most impressive of all primeval ruins. What they really commemorated we may never know, but, in all probability, the place was the scene of some important and decisive early battle, the monuments marking the graves of the chieftains who were interred as the result of it - Charles Squire (Celtic Myth and Legend)

The De Danann, like many who came after their time, looked to the West as the place of repose after death. If the homelands of the Irish had been in Eastern Europe or in Asia, is it not likely that their spiritual yearning would have been to that hemisphere and not the Western waters of the Atlantic? The love of the Western lands of eternal youth and joy exist due to race memories of the ancient homelands lost in the Earth's past cataclysms.

A land of youth, a land of rest, A land from sorrow free; It lies far off in the golden West, On the verge of the azure sea. A swift canoe of crystal bright. That never met mortal view - We shall reach the land ere fall of night, In that strong and swift Canoe; We shall reach the strand, Of that sunny land...The land of rest, In the Golden West - (traditional poem on the west)

Though they came to learned Erinn, Without buoyant, adventurous ships, No man in creation knew, Whether they were of the earth or of the sky - (from the Book of Ballymote, a poem on the De Danann)

After their hard won victory the De Danann gathered their people to the nearby mountains and proclaimed thanks to their goddess. The war queen Badb (the prototype for the Egyptian goddess Mut) offered forth a striking prophecy about future ages, the twilight of the gods, and the falling off of spirituality and morality. Her vision and words are uncannily similar to those preserved by the Skalds in the Norse Edda, and by the Hindus in the post Vedic Puranas:

Then she added a prophecy in which she foretold the approaching end of the divine age and the coming of a new one, in which the summers would be flowerless, the cows milkless and women shameless and men strengthless, in which there would be tress without fruit and seas without fish, when old men would give false judgments and legislators would make unjust laws, when warriors would betray one another and men would be thieves and there would be no more virtue in the world - (Prophecy of Badb, war queen of the Tuatha De Danann)

Then saw she wade in heavy streams, men - foul murderers and perjurers, and them who others wives seduce to sin, brothers slay brothers; sisters’ children shed each others' blood. Hard is the world, sensual sin grows huge. These are the sword-ages, axe-ages, shields are cleft in twain, storm-ages, murder-ages - till the world falls dead - (The Norse Edda, Volupso, The Wise-Woman's Prophecy)

There will be contemporary monarchs, reigning over the earth - kings of churlish spirit, violent temper, and ever addicted to falsehood and wickedness. They will inflict death on women, children, and cows; they will seize upon the property of their subjects, and be intent upon the wives of others; they will be of unlimited power, their lives will be short, their desires insatiable…People of various countries intermingling with them, will follow their example…Wealth and piety will decrease until the world will be wholly depraved. Property alone will confer rank; wealth will be the only source of devotion; passion will be the sole bond of union between the sexes; falsehood will be the only means of success in litigation; and women will be objects merely of sensual gratification. External types will be the only distinction of the several orders of life…a man if rich will be reputed pure; dishonesty (anyaya) will be the universal means of subsistence, weakness the cause of dependence, menace and presumption will be substituted for learning; liberality will be devotion; mutual assent, marriage; fine clothes, dignity. He who is the strongest will reign; the people, unable to bear the heavy burthen (the load of taxes) will take refuge among the valleys…Thus, in the Kali age will decay constantly proceed, until the human race approaches its annihilation (pralaya) - (The Vishnu Purana)

Clearly, it is not in the interests of the powers behind government and religion for us to realize that culture originated in Western climes and from the pre-diluvian civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria. The desire of the Vatican mythographers was to falsely situate the seat of culture in the Middle-East and as far away from the Atlantic zone as possible. These mythographers knew full well that Ireland (Eri or Eire) was a remnant of Atlantis and that its primordial "Megalithic" inhabitants had been evacuated to the Continent en masse. If we, therefore, find (as we do) apparently "Semitic" symbols all over the lands of Europe we do so because they came there due to the earlier traversals of Western peoples.

The great megalithic henges have often been described as doorways or portals. The word door comes from daur, which meant "Druid"

The Eastern peoples who brought such customs and symbols along with them in later migrations already had them due to earlier commerce with tribes from the West. This latter scenario has been thoroughly covered up in favor of the former thesis that centers the answers on the East to West migrations. Although this explanation may answer a few puzzles it leaves many more unsolved.  For every revelation we get a dozen other historical puzzles to befuddle us. And this is what the fabricators of history have long desired. Men are never meant to find the truth of their origins. Men are meant to be forever chasing false leads. The works and vagrant ideas of the fabricators are given the limelight and year after year, decade after decade, we are compelled, for lack of the right diet, to ingest their desolate and problematic theories.

All the while the reason of man is violated and all the while the world slips further into apathy and decadence. The chaotic state of the world, and of man's consciousness, is a legacy. It is a consequence of ages of lies and deception.
 

And it is time to do something about it. It is time to re-establish the fact that it was Ireland and not Rome that was, as the historians love to assert, the vagina gentium ("womb of nations"). The Romans who rose to fall into oblivion in a historical instant were not the fathers of civilization any more than the Greeks were. Those who have professed such lies, and who do so still, are either sorely misinformed or deliberately duplicitous. What we need to remember is that the Greek civilization only began in earnest as late as 800 BC, after they adopted the Phoenician (Cadmean) alphabet system. During the time of Homer (eighth century BC) the known world of the Greeks was from their own country to Italy and nearby parts of Egypt and the Middle East. All in all, not very far. School books remind us of the fantastic reports of Greek traveler and historian Herodotus (484-425 BC) concerning life forms beyond the known horizon. Our point is that the Greek civilization and the first Grecian journalism on foreign parts came centuries after the rise of the Irish and their worldwide civilizations. He did at least take the trouble to visit Egypt to gather his stories, unlike Greeks before him, who simply repeated gossip derived at the local dock from sailors and merchants. However, the farther Herodotus progresses from Greece...the less reliable and more wild his tales become. On the northern edge of Asia...he describes a people who have hooves like goats, eat their dead fathers, and sleep six months of the year - Philip Freeman (The Philosopher and the Druids) The early Greek writers knew little of Western Europe, and Herodotus could only inform us that the western extremity was occupied by a people whom he terms the Cynetae, and that all the countries next to them were said to be inhabited by the Celtae or Celts; and he had an indistinct notion of the British Isles...Another Greek historian, Polybius, who wrote very little more than a hundred and fifty years before the Christian era, adds nothing to our knowledge on this subject - Thomas Wright (The Celts, the Romans, and the Saxon, 1861)
		Herodotus - The so-called "father of history" lived and wrote in the fifth century BC, very late in the day. He was the first to mention the so-called "Celts," but his information was paltry. The religion and gods of these "Celts" was first mentioned by Greek historian Timaeus in the 3rd Century BC, but it was nothing more than one short sentence.

The Greek historians and writers were not authorities on the origins and nature of Western peoples and their reports on the Irish, so-called "Celts," and other world cultures, are not to be accepted as accurate. The same thing goes for the Romans. The Romans conquered the world, yes, but they were very reluctant to let the world they owned remember that there had once been an Irish empire in existence long before their own.

The third century B.C. was also the age of the beginnings of Latin literature. Ironically...few, if any, of these writings were by native Romans; for until the defeat of Pyrrhus, king of Epirus, at Beneventum in 275 B.C. and the consequent conquest of southern Italy's culturally rich cities, the Romans had little impetus to produce literature - Paul R. Lonigan (The Druids: Priests of the Ancient Celts)

While it is most certainly true that the great cities and states in the Near and Middle East were towering achievements, it is incorrect to regard them as the only flowering of civilization in the world at that time - Arthur Kemp (March of the Titans)

In the Mahabharata, written some centuries after the Ramayana, mention is made of Sveta Dwipa, the White Island....The 'Old Sage' instructs Narada as to the situation of the White Island, telling him that it lies to the north-west of Mount Meru, the abode of the gods and the demi-gods in Central Asia... 'The Isle of Britain' is called by the Welsh 'Y Wen Ynys' - i.e. the White Island. The Holy Graal, or Sanct Greal, is said by Keltic authors to have been brought to the White Isle, and that 'the White Isle' is part of England - Dorothea Chaplain (Matter, Myth, and Spirit or Keltic and Hindu Links)

The island of Coll, the territory of a branch of Macleans, was formerly called Kelis, or Caolas. As in Bolivia, we find a name uncommonly like the Sanskrit Kailas, the sacred abode of Siva on the Himalayan Mountains - ibid

The Hindoos have never within the knowledge of man sent out colonies or fleets for exploration; but there is abundant evidence on the other hand, for migrations from Atlantis eastward - How could the Sanskrit writings have preserved maps of Ireland, England, and Spain, giving the shape and outline of their coasts and their very names, and yet have preserved no memory of the expeditions or colonizations by which they acquired that knowledge? - Ignatius Donnelly (Atlantis-The Ante-Diluvian World, 1882)

Myles Dillon and D. A. Binchy have both for some time now advanced the idea of the common derivation of the Hindu and Celtic traditions. Binchy has brought focus to bear on each of their legal systems, while Calvert Watkins has attempted to show that the seven-syllable verse used in Old Irish has the same origin as that of the Indian Rig Veda. Dillon...concludes that such evidence attests to the "common heritage of the druid and Brahmin" - Paul R. Lonigan (The Druids: Priests of the Ancient Celts)

Naturally, we cannot sympathize with the power-brokers who have commissioned such travesties of history. But we can understand the motives behind their deceptiveness and their ingenious rescripting of history. Their ingenuity was, and is, a result of their need to obscure the goings-on in pre-diluvian ages. And since the Irish culture stands out as too advanced to have come from nowhere, interest had to be led elsewhere. The mythographers literally reversed the truth and centered the cradle of civilization in the East. And this history works for us as long as we look back to the starting point of the Neolithic Age and not before.

The word Ireland comes from Ari- or Ariya-Land, meaning the "Land of the Arya" or "Aryans." In Indo-European languages the term Aliyan meant "lord" or "god." The letter "A" was transposed to "E," and so we have Eri, Eire, Erainn, and Erin. The ancient Irish, being inherently romantic and spiritual, believed their land to be a living goddess referred to as Ari or Eri. In various myths, where this goddess and others appear and speak, they do so as personifications of the land itself. This mythological idiosyncrasy did not originate with the Greeks and their Demeter or with the Hindus and their Prakriti. It came from Ireland, the "Land of Forests" (Inis na ffidbadh). To be specific, in Irish mythology the land did not bear the name of one goddess but three. Ireland was named after Eri, and two related queen goddess named Fodla and Banba. This convention of three tutelary gods, goddesses, or chieftains, was emulated by the Egyptians whose nomes, or sacred cities along the Nile, were always dedicated to a triplicity of gods. Again, it was from Ireland that the idiom originated.
		The Hill of Tara - Dated to approximately 2,000 years BC, it was the capital of the Celtic kings of Ireland, but was probably a site of importance in pre-Celtic times. Named after the Arya and their Earth Goddess Eri or Ari. In Hebrew and Egyptian the word Tara means gateway or portal. It was also known as Drumcain (or "Hill of the Serpents"). One meaning of the word Druid is to “encircle” or “to enclose within a circle.”

We can plainly see that from Erainn (or Erin) comes Aryan. An "Aryan" was a man under the goddess, a keeper of her mysteries. This distinction must be born in mind at all times, if the genuine species is to be distinguished from the genuine fake. Eri or Ari referred to the land of Ireland, and Arya or Aryan to a man of the land, that is, to an Elder initiated into the mysteries of earth and sky. As an Elder he, and his confederates, had a most important job to attend to, namely - the healing of the Earth. They were caretakers of an Earth had been damaged, torn, rent, and ravaged. As doctors and surgeons attend a casualty of an automobile wreck, so the men who came to be known as the "Druids" attempted to heal the Earth's grievous wounds. They did not regard catastrophes as we do today in our spiritless times. To them there was no such thing as a random act of fate or nature. Everything that occurred had meaning. All that happened in the natural world did so to instruct and guide. The lessons of nature, the ultimate teacher, were to be heeded and cherished. It was never a case of "bad" and "good," for these were not unsophisticated men drunk with superstition as we have been led to believe by those wretches whose minds are truly rank and foul. The Arya, the Elders, the Druids; these were the purified ones who had made themselves eligible to work with the subtle energies of the Earth. Few there were pure enough for such science. Only those hygienic in mind and heart dare attend to duties of this kind. The Druidic Order of Aryan Elders reverenced the Earth and commissioned the construction of the many Mesolithic and Megalithic sites that cover Britain, France, and Scandinavia. They were the Magi who instructed the world's hierophants how to undo what had been done, and how to again set upright the pillar.

		The names Eri and Ari correspond closely and suggestively to a name once used for the land of Egypt, Aere. It is also akin to Pteira, the capital of the Hittites of Cappadocia (modern Turkey). This world Pteira refers to Ireland and its inhabitants with whom the Hittites, Syrians, Phoenicians, Minoans, and Sumerians, were related. The capital city of the Phoenicians in Palestine was known as Tyre, meaning "Place of "Eri," or "Ari," or "Aryans." We find little essential difference between this place name and that of Tara, the capital of the ancient kings and Druids of Ireland. We might ask if it is a coincidence that so many place names in Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, Egypt, Africa, and the Levant contain Gaelic word roots. For instance, Sumeria (Sum Arya), Tura, Sudan (dan from danu), Jordan, Sharadana (ancient name or Sardinia), Syria, Iran, Argos (meaning Greece), Naharana (Mesopotamia), Arvad (Phoenician island), Thar (ancient name for Tanis), Saqqara, and Sahara (Sah Arya), contain distinct Irish roots. Another permutation of Ari is found in Sanskrit as Arii, that referred to Persia and the tribe of that name living there. The term meant the "excellent" or "high" or "honorable" ones, the "Lords of the Earth." The phoneme ar, that appears in the word arable (from arare), referred to those expert in the cultivation of the soil.
Hera - Mother of the Grecian Gods. But where did she come from? The letter "H" was often used like the French "L" (the), and so Hera was H'era, or Eri (the Irish goddess of the Earth)

The Irish were renowned for their skill with building, plowing, husbandry, and farming. Their religious attention to celestial events, such as the cycles of the sun and moon, served them practically. For the Druids, what was above was also below. From the syllable Ari comes Iran (the later name of Persia). The term Horus, that was originally Heru, or Har, or Harri (like the name Harris from Haoris meaning "hawk"), is a variant on the root and term Ari.

In the bible, the Aryans are referred to as the Persians, Hittites, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Philistines, and perhaps even as the Amorites, the race that markedly influenced the Babylonian civilization.

Ares - son of Hera and Zeus. He was also known as Ari and was closely associated with Ptah the architect god of Egypt. He is probably a Grecian corruption of the Egyptian god. His name suggests the Arya who were also great builders. He was a personification of the men of the West. His consort was called Eri, a name borrowed from the Irish goddess of the same name

Most of these cultures employed the symbol of the hawk or eagle. The capital of the Hittites, in Cappadocia (modern Turkey), was known as "Eagle City" or "City of the Eagles," and Hierakanpolis (one of the most ancient cities of Upper Egypt) was known as the "City of the Hawk" or, more probably, the "City of the Hawks." ...Rameses III defeated a motley army of allied tribes from the Near East. He then memorialized the event by placing other porcelain tiles at Medinet Haboo. Among those were Syrian, Philistine, Hittite, and Amar (Amorite) representation. The Philistine was represented with reddish skin, small pointed beard, and smooth upper lip - (Letters from Mr. Bononi to Professor T. Hayter Lewis) The original official consensus deemed the Aryans to have first come into being as a race over 18,000 years ago in Africa. They were believed to be an offshoot of the so-called "Hamitic" ethnic group that, according to theologians, originated with Ham the son of Noah. The Egyptians and Canaanites, among other Asian and Mediterranean groups, were considered racially Hamitic, that is descended from Ham the son of Noah who was believed to have been the progenitor of all African peoples. This consensus was finally proven to be unsustainable academic nonsense and was rejected as a symptom of the colonialist mindset that notoriously and prejudiciously categorized certain races and tribes as "inferior" and "recalcitrant."

The preposterous travesty is clarified once it is understood that the term Hamitic originally referred to Egypt and its non-Semitic inhabitants. One of the earliest names for Egypt was Ham, and also Kham. The Hamites were, therefore, Egyptians and not some indefinite Semitic group. One would have wished that the scholars who eventually refuted the Hamitic myth would also have rectified the Aryan myth and discarded the racial intonation of this sorely misused term.

The next theory to gain popularity during the early twentieth century declared the Aryans to be those tribes that originated at the Danube River Valley, the Balkans, or in the land known as Cappadocia, in modern Turkey. Zoologically, botanically, anthropologically, and linguistically Turkey (ancient Anatolia) is considered a Western country. It was certainly one of the homelands, if not the original one, of Caucasian racial types. Professor L. A. Waddell referred to the inhabitants of Cappadocia as "Goths." He established that these white-skinned Gothic tribes were the ancestors of the Phoenicians and Sumerians. He explained the manner in which they colonized the Shinar plains and established empires in Babylon and pre-dynastic Egypt. He also connected the Gothic race to the Minoans, Amorites, and Hittites. King Lists found in the Indian Puranas, translated by Professor Waddell, confirmed that the white "Aryan" kings of Cappadocia were identical to the kings mentioned in the Egyptian and Babylonian records, and in the king lists of Northern India. While we do not contest in any way the majority of Professor Waddell's findings, we do not accept "Aryan" as a term distinguishing racial type. We prefer to employ the term to distinguish caste and creed. In short, the so-called "Aryans" were not a race at all, nor were they descended from an Asian ancestor. An "Aryan" was a member of any spiritually endowed sect or cult that had its origin in the pre-diluvian civilizations. Sadly, a lot of vexatious problems have arisen in the study of race and language simply because the world's academics have paid no mind to the existence of the great prehistoric civilizations mentioned in so many of the world's myths and legends. The term "Aryan" has been misapplied from the beginning. When one interpretation foundered, another one, just as preposterous, was invented. Despite the work of many erudite scholars, the problem of misinterpretation continues to the present day.

The ancient inhabitants of Britain - the Gaelic and British Celts - have been already described as forming a branch of what are roughly called the "Aryans". This name has, however, little reference to race, and really signifies the speakers of a group of languages which can be all shown to be connected, and to descend remotely from a single source - a hypothetical mother-tongue spoken by a hypothetical people which we term "Aryan" or, more correctly, "Indo-European"...All the various Latin, Greek, Slavic, Teutonic, and Celtic languages are "Aryan," as well as Persian and other Asiatic dialects derived from the ancient "Zend," and the numerous Indian languages which trace their origin to Sanskrit...Not very long ago, it was supposed that this common descent of language involved a common descent of blood - Charles Squire (Celtic Myth and Legend)

The most ancient seat of civilization in the North, the cradle of the Aryan race...was that tattered group of islands which bear the name of Shetlands - Comyns Beaumont (The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain)

The Ariosophists
Arthur Comte de Gobineau (1816-1882), Guido Karl Anton von List (1848-1919), Jorg Lanz (1874-1954), Houston Stewart Chamberlain (1855-1927), Rudolf John Gorsleben (1883-1930), and Alfred Rosenberg (1893-1946) - a few of the main propagandists and obscurantists whose spurious and incendiary writings on Race, the Anglo-Saxons, the Teutons, Darwinian Evolution Theory, Theosophy, Neo-Paganism, Geo-Politics, Theo-Zoology, Genetics, Eugenics, and Racial Hygiene, etc, succeeded in blackening the term Aryan, making it, and the study of the Aryans, largely taboo throughout the world. Like Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and the Nazi hierarchy, these men were, for the most part, British agents.

---

		We might add, at this juncture, that the ubiquitous theories on the "Aryan Race" advocated by writers from the late nineteenth century onwards, that finally influenced Nazi ideology, has little to do with the Arya spoken of here. The obscurantist writings and theories on race of men such as Comte de Gobineau, Guido von List, Jorg Lanz, Thomas Huxley, Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Alfred Rosenberg, Karl Haushofer, and other British (and secret society) funded propagandists, has not blinded us to the truth regarding the original Arya. We are only too well aware of the Freemasonic (Atonist) origins and tendencies of the German Order, List Society, Order of the New Templars, Thule Society, Armanenschaft, Edda Society, Schlaraffia Lodge, German Workers Party, Nazi Party, and other allegedly pro-Aryan (anti-Semitic) organizations that succeeded (through their elaborate machinations,  dissemination of pseudo-historical theories, and campaigns of mass indoctrination) in bringing ruin to Germany, Austria, and their neighboring European countries. This is not to say that the French and German Ariosophists were not aware of the facts we present here. One must first know a truth, and must be conversant with the facts of a thing, before one can expertly distort and skew perspectives concerning it.
Karl Maria Wiligut - the insane Viennese occultist, employed by H. Himmler. He influenced the Nazi hierarchy and the so-called "New Order of Templars"

In some of the inarticulate and hyperbolic writings of the leading Ariosophist propagandists we get a glimpse of the truth behind the tissue of lies and disinformation:

The massive treatise known as the Srimad Bhagavtam, considered the jewel of Vedic gnosis, is but one of the Hindu Puranas. Composed by the Arya of Northern India, the Puranas are officially believed to date to at least 600 BC. However, they are unofficially believed to date from 3,000 BC. Significantly, the Puranas have preserved the true and unadulterated meanings of the most misused term "Aryan." The Vedic god Krishna is addressed as Hari Krishna, with the prefix Hari, referring to "Ari" or "the Arya." Hare Krishna means "the white or shining Christ"

Perhaps the first scholar to have disregarded the testimony of the ancient Vedic scriptures, such as the Puranas, and to misapply the term "Aryan," was the German Orientalist Max Muller. It was apparently from Muller's investigations into comparative religion that readers began taking it into their minds to believe in the rivalry between so-called "Aryan" and "Semitic" racial types. The matter became more bizarre after Mueller published his book entitled Biographies of Words and the Home of the Aryas, published in 1828. In this book Mueller ostensibly distanced himself from the Ariosophists. His statement certainly makes it seem that he had been insisting on the truth but had found the German, French, and English linguists, archaeologists, and anthropologists to be indifferent to his protestations on the matter. The debate on Muller's complicity in the Aryan racial theory remains open. I have declared again and again that if I say Aryas, I mean neither blood nor bones, nor hair, nor skull; I mean simply those who speak an Aryan language...to me an ethnologist who speaks of Aryan race, Aryan blood, Aryan eyes and hair, is as great a sinner...

They were not an ethnic group or a nation as such, but rather a social category with a common lifestyle - Robert Cornman and J. M. Modrzejewski (The Jews of Egypt: From Rameses II to Emperor Hadrian)

Not until Jacob in a somewhat obscure manner was told to call himself Israel was that name adopted and accorded to his twelve "sons:" but if we accept the explanation of Sanchoniathon, a Phoenician of Tyre, Cronus "whom Phoenicians called Israel" was king of Phoenicia, and it signified that these Chaldeo-Phoenician tribes were worshippers of Cronus-Saturn...for Jehovah was a far later importation. The name Israel has subsequently been misappropriated, for those Biblical Christians who term themselves Israelites in fact label themselves followers of a pagan deity - Comyns Beaumont (The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain)

Druid comes from Druthin, meaning "wise servant of truth." The root Dr is very important for it describes the Elders who predated the Druids. This root gives Dar, Dara, Der, and Derry, etc, all connoting the Druids. We also find the root in words such as Indra, Andrew, Darius, Kildare, etc). The letter "D" was often transposed to "T." And so Dru becomes Tru, and Druthin becomes Truthin (or Truth).

The ancient peoples of pre-diluvian civilizations, and of the early historical ones, did not distinguish themselves by blood or race. They stood apart from dissimilar types over matters of belief and theology and not over nationality, region, or race. One group considered itself similar or dissimilar to another based on the gods and goddesses worshipped, and over the luminaries venerated. A man was distinguished by his level of spiritual and not racial purity. What did race matter after the Age of Catastrophe when both the human race and the fauna had suffered incomprehensible decimation, the likes of which boggle scientific minds? Are we really to believe that traumatized survivors of plague, famine, earth upheavals, and global ruin, were in the habit, after all they had been through, of imagining themselves superior to other unfortunate humans in the same mess? It is ridiculous to believe so, and we would do well to realize the fraudulence of people advocating this idea. What mattered during the aftermath of ruin was that the gods were angry and vengeful. And naturally survival was a prime concern. It would hardly be different today should a universal catastrophe of such proportions ever occur. It was only during later periods of history when men, altered in their consciousness, psychically and emotionally traumatized, and hardened due to years of want and loss, began to make racial status something to be inordinately proud of. We maintain that it was of little importance in earlier ages. When we factor in the consequences of the fall of pre-diluvian cultures, and contemplate the effects of the Age of Catastrophe, we get a clearer understanding of the facts concerning the vexatious race question that has compromised and waylaid so many historians and investigators. In short, it was men without spiritual distinction who sought a racial one to take its place.

Naturally, it is not commonly known that the various symbols and theological idioms of Judaism and Christianity (and even Brahmanism) are of Druidic origin. This fact is largely unknown even to most antiquarians and historians. It is one of the best kept secrets there is, although it is no secret to high-ranking members of Freemasonry and similar esoteric cabals and fraternities. A close perusal of masonic writings furnishes us with proof positive that these various symbols, rites, customs, and technical models existed in the same form in areas and countries (Europe, Persia, Syria, India, Russia, Japan, and China, etc) where neither Jews nor early Christians traveled. They are found in areas conquered and frequented by the Irish Arya - the world's greatest travelers.

In ancient Irish (Iris) religion and mythology Tara was also the sacred home for the Ari (later the Ari-ish or Irish) who ranked below the Illi gods, yet above the people. Ireland (Ari-Land) takes its name from the Aris (lion / ili-on - in Hebrew) or Arians. Ireland is considered the Great Motherland of the Aryan race, otherwise known as Atlantis, Thule or Tula - William Henry (The Secret Throne of the Illuminati Discovered)

The fact is that Ireland was the first power that colonized along both sides of the Mediterranean sea and, therefore, the colonies came from the West instead of from the East as our astute Roman and British historians would have us believe. And the world has believed it up to now...Investigators have followed the fast clue sent out from this source and found nothing in the East to support this claim that the Aryans emigrated from the East and colonized toward the West. The real and true evidence points just in the opposite direction - Conor MacDari

...if the earliest Aryan civilization as reflected in the Old Testament, the Greek, and other sources were centered in the north of Europe, and especially in the Scandinavian and British lands, it follows conversely that the present regions from whence our forefathers are believed to have derived their origins, that is to say in the Middle and Near east, Egypt and the Mediterranean countries, are credited with a civilization to which they are in no sense entitled, and which they only inherited by migrations from the north. As a matter of fact, anthropology has proved the correctness of this view again and again, showing that the white race never originally entered Europe from Asia - Comyns Beaumont (Riddle of Pre-Historic Britain)

The word Ariya, meaning ("noble" or "spiritual") is attested in the Inscriptions of Darius the Great and his son, Xerxes I. It is used both as a linguistic and a racial (spiritual) designation. Biblical figure Xerxes I (485-465 BCE) states in Naqsh-i Rustam - “I am Persian son of a Persian, an Aryan having Aryan lineage.” The very word Darius, comes from Dar, meaning "Druid," and also contains the syllable Ari, for Arya. King Xeres used the title Harri, also meaning Aryan. The letter "H" was used in Hebrew and other languages like the modern "the" or French "L"

The Aryan King, Babak Khorramdin (795-838), fought for the preservation of Iranian culture.

Harran - in South-Eastern Turkey was the homeland and busy commercial center of the Hittites and Phoenicians. Biblical legend states that Harran was were Adam and Eve went after their expulsion from Eden. Terah, the father of Abraham, is also connected with Harran. The moon god Sin was worshipped there. Harran was a very cosmopolitan place and its history reaches back to a very early period. It was overrun by several races due to its strategic location. Aridity has changed the face of the region, but once Southern Turkey (Anatolia) was fertile and flourishing. Scholars allege the name Harran pertains to Aran the brother of Abraham. But this is highly spurious. The name pertains to the Arya who knew the area in ancient times. Harran was the home of many ancient stellar colleges and cults

The Druids: Priestarchy of the World

Opposite to the coast of Gallia Celtica there is an island in the ocean, not smaller than Sicily - lying to the north, which is inhabited by the Hyperboreans, who are so named because they dwell beyond the north wind. This island is of a happy temperature, rich in soil, and fruitful in every thing, yielding its produce twice in the year. Tradition says that Latona was born there, and for that reason they venerate Apollo more than any other god. They are in a manner his priests, for they daily celebrate him with continual songs of praise, and pay him abundant honors - Diodorus Siculus (Greek Historian, 90-30 BC)

The word Druid has been mistranslated as referring to oak trees and their veneration. In fact, the Druids considered the rowan to be the greatest of trees, but all of nature was sacred to them. They were nature’s students, healers, and caretakers.

The word has several probable related origins. Most likely it derives from the Gaelic draeidh (pronounced dhree) meaning "kindred;" or from druvid that means "one who knows" or "one who has knowledge." The suffix vid (also wid) is the root of wizard and wise. We find this syllable in vedic and veda that connote the highest wisdom. It may also derive from druthin that means "servant of truth." In German it means "of god." An Irish priestess was also known as a druith. We derive the word truth from druthin. The hard "D" sound becomes Anglesized as "T." Another acceptable rendering is from Welsh Gaelic - der wydd, meaning "superior-priest" or "inspector," and from draoith meaning "magician." In Persian we have duree, meaning "noble and holy man," and duracht. In Arabic it is dere, a "wise man," and in Persian it is daru, meaning "Magus." In Punjabi the word dara means "to dare" or to be "fearful," (or "awesome") fearless," "brave," and "bold." We get the word dare from this root. The English dear ("beloved one") derives from the same root. And related also is the Sanskrit Deva (from Duw) meaning “one without darkness.”		The word city comes from the Gaelic Cyfaith, meaning "Seat of the Druids"

The word can also mean "to shine," and it clearly referred to the sun and to the gods of light such as Indra, Agni, Adonai, and Aton, etc. Undoubtedly, deva is the origin of the word dove and the title David, as used by the Levites to denote their military commanders and chieftains (for instance Tuthmosis III).

Pliny thought that the name "Druid" was a Greek appellation derived from the Druidic cult of the oak. The word, however, is purely Celtic, and its meaning probably implies that, like the sorcerer and medicine-man everywhere, the Druid was regarded as "the knowing one." It is composed of two parts - dru-, regarded by M. D'Arbois as an intensive, and vids, from vid, "to know," or "see." Hence the Druid was "the very knowing or wise one" - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts)

From the old Irish texts one gathers that the Druids were concerned, above all things, with Truth...Professor Myles Dillon argues that 'this notion of Truth as the highest principle and sustaining power of creation pervades the Irish literature' - Peter Berresford Ellis

As one of their leading dogmas, they include this: that souls are not annihilated, but pass after death from one body to another, and they hold that by this teaching, men are much encouraged to valor, through disregarding the fear of death. They also discuss and impart to their young many things concerning the heavenly bodies and their movements, the size of the world and our earth, natural sciences, and the influence and power of the immortal gods - Julius Caesar (on the Druids, Gallic Wars)

The Druids are men of penetrating and subtle spirit, and acquired the highest renown by their speculations, which were at once subtle and profound. Both Caesar and Mela plainly intimate that they were conversant with most sublime speculations in geometry and in measuring the magnitude of the earth - Ammianus Marscellus (Historian 350 AD)

It can easily be proved that the science of astronomy was not unknown to the Druids. One of their temples in the island of Lewis in the Hebrides, bears evident signs of their skill in the science. Every stone in the temple is placed astronomically. The circle consists of twelve equidistant obelisks denoting the twelve signs of the zodiac. The four cardinal points of the compass are marked by lines of obelisks running out from the circle, and at each point subdivided into four more. The range of obelisks from north, and exactly facing the south is double, being two parallel rows each consisting of nineteen stones - W. Winwod Reede (Mystery of the Druids)

So we can see why the chief motto of the Druidic order was Y Gwir Erbyn Y Byd (“Truth Against the World”). These Servants of Truth held greater power than the kings who took advice from them:

For, without the Druids, the Kings may neither do nor consult anything; so that in reality they are the Druids who reign - John Chrysostom (fifth century Christian Bishop of Constantinople)

...a caste incorporating all the learned professions. The caste not only consisted of those who had a religious function but also comprised philosophers, judges, teachers, historians, poets, musicians, physicians, astronomers, prophets and political advisers or counselors - Peter Berresford Ellis (The Druids)

St. Andrew: The patron saint of Scotland. A non-historical figure based on an early Irish principle of knowledge. From Der, Dara, or Indra, "Andrew," is a fictive personification of Druidism

The duty of the bards of Ireland was to preserve the genealogical records of the Irish nobility, and to poetize. The duty of the minstrel was to perform and play music. The Druid (like Plato’s Philosopher Kings) healed, taught, and instructed. Their work was performed excellently not only in Ireland, Britain, and Europe, but throughout the entire world. The Vedic duw becomes duwa, and also diva, the root of the word divine (meaning "in god" or "of god"). Deus (meaning god) comes originally from Dis or Dis Pater, a major Irish deity and lord of the underworld. The name shows up as the Latin deus and dyaus, and as the Anglo-Saxon Jeus. This is the root of Jesus. We can see Duw in "Jew," "Jehusa," and perhaps "Yeshua." And, if the letter "U" is rendered "V" we derive Jehov or Jehovah. We can see, given the variance of dialect and intonation, the true origin of words such as Jesus, Joshua, Jove, Jupiter, Jehovah, Jason, Judah, Judges, and Jerusalem, etc.

In every case these titles referred to light and more specifically to the sun. They were titles for the sun priests of the ancient solar cults.

Joshua, it seems, was an ancient sun-god, who was demoted to the status of a man by the priests of the Yahweh cult - John G. Jackson (The Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth)

The river, the tree, the dove and the Baptizer - ancient pagan symbols appropriated by Christianity. The name Asur (meaning "Osiris") comes from the Egyptian Asar meaning "sacred tree." Osiris' relationship with the Ash tree suggests a Druidic connection. The Ash was a prominent tree in Druidism. The Ash was connected with the element fire, and therefore with purification. The original birthday of Jesus was positioned by the church's mythmongers in the month of July. This was to align the birth of Jesus (the sun) with the rising of the star Sirius. Eventually, however, the birthday was moved to December in order to occlude the connection between the Christian Jesus and the Egyptian Osiris

The first letter of the name Jehovah is probably derived from the Irish letter Jodh that is the origin of the Hebrew Yod, the first letter of god's name. This letter Jodh or Yodh (the Greek Iota) gives our modern letters "I" and "J." The Irish Druids associated this letter with the tree we refer to as the Yew (from Yeu or Yodh). From this word we derive Jul, Jew, and also Yule meaning Christmas, or the time of the winter solstice. Druidic symbolism extends to key passages of the Old Testament. We read, for instance, that the holy teacher and leader, Moses, encountered his god Jehovah at a "burning bush" or tree. An analysis of the poetry and iconography of English poet William Blake leads us to believe that the word Jerusalem may have originally been a reference to Britain, the land of the Druids. The correct rendering of the word may be Darusalem or Derusalem. The phonetically similar letters "J" and "D" were often interchanged. They were sometimes used together as in the Egyptian Djed. In this case the word would mean “Place of the Druids” or “Place of the Oaks.” "The groves were God's first temples," says Bryant. The groves, too, were among man's first gods...Not only the Druids of Britain, but the Greeks, and the Semitic races of Asia were worshipers of trees. The giant oaks and the symmetrical evergreens were gods..."The worship of trees," says Soury, "only disappeared in Syria at a very late date...The largest and tallest trees, and the evergreen ones, were adored as gods - John E. Remsberg (The Christ) The incarnate god was probably representative of a god or spirit of earth, growth, or vegetation, represented also by a tree. A symbolic branch of such a tree was borne by kings, and perhaps by Druids, who used oak branches in their rites. King and tree would be connected, the king's life being bound up with that of the tree, and perhaps at one time both perished together. But as kings were represented by a substitute, so the sacred tree, regarded as too sacred to be cut down, may also have had its succedaneum. The Irish bile or sacred tree, connected with the kings, must not be touched by any impious hand, and it was sacrilege to cut it down - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts) The genuine acacia, also, is the thorny tamarisk, the same tree which grew around the body of Osiris. It was a sacred tree among the Arabs, who made of it the idol Al-Uzza, which Mohammed destroyed. It is abundant as a bush in the desert of Thur; and of it the 'crown of thorns' was composed, which was set on the forehead of Jesus of Nazareth. It is a fit type of immortality on account of its tenacity of life; for it has been known, when planted as a door-post, to take root again and shoot out budding boughs above the threshold - Albert Pike (Morals and Dogma)

Maximus of Tyre also speaks of the Celtic...image of Zeus as a lofty oak, and an old Irish glossary gives daur, "oak," as an early Irish name for "god"  - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts)

...the worship of the oak tree, or the oak-god, appears to have been shared by all the branches of the Aryan stock in Europe, that is by the peoples who descended from the Indo-Europeans - James G. Frazer (The Golden Bough)

The sacred tree, or tree of life, so universally recognized in eastern systems of theology, is called to mind; and we are naturally led to refer the traditions connected with it to a common origin - Austen Henry Layard (Nineveh and its Remains, 1849)

Trees of cultic adoration would have a multivalent symbolism: as World Tree, Tree of Life. Locally, each tribal group would have had its own sacred tree marking the "center" of its territory, and at which its kings would be inaugurated - Paul Lonigan (The Druids: Priests of the Ancient Celts)

In the works of Greek and Latin writers we hear repeatedly of sacred woods and groves, sanctuaries in forest clearings and on hilltops, beside springs and lakes and on islands, and of places set apart for the burial of the noble dead - H. R. Ellis Davidson (Myths and Symbols in Pagan Europe: Early Scandinavian and Celtic Religions)

In the religious history of the Aryan race in Europe the worship of trees has played an important part. Nothing could be more natural...From an examination of the Teutonic words for “temple” Grimm has made it probable that amongst the Germans the oldest sanctuaries were natural woods...tree-worship is well attested for all the great European families of the Aryan stock - Sir James George Frazer (The Golden Bough, 1922)

Most Bibles published during the Middle Ages contain a section devoted to genealogical tables showing the descent of humanity from Father Adam to the advent of Jesus Christ. The tree growing from the roof of the Ark represents the body of Noah and its three branches, his sons--Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The nations by the descendants of Noah's three sons are appropriately shown in the circles upon the branches of the tree. While such tables are hopelessly incorrect from a historical point of view, to the symbolist their allegorical interpretations are of inestimable importance  - Manly Palmer Hall (Secret Teachings of All Ages, 1928)

The Nile as a Tree of Life. Its "root" was in the Sudan, the region considered home of the gods

Trees are repeatedly mentioned in the Old and New Testaments, and in the scriptures of various pagan nations. The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil mentioned in Genesis, the burning bush in which the angel appeared to Moses, the famous vine and fig tree of the New Testament, the grove of olives in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus went to pray, and the miraculous tree of Revelation, which bore twelve manners of fruit and whose leaves were for the healing of the nations, all bear witness to the esteem in which trees were held by the scribes of Holy Writ. Buddha received his illumination while under the bodhi tree, near Madras in India, and several of the Eastern gods are pictured sitting in meditation beneath the spreading branches of mighty trees. Many of the great sages and saviors carried wands, rods, or staves cut from the wood of sacred trees, as the rods of Moses and Aaron; Gungnir - the spear of Odin - cut from the Tree of Life; and the consecrated rod of Hermes, around which the fighting serpents entwined themselves - ibid

In the holy grove at Uppsala men and animals were sacrificed by being hanged upon the sacred trees. The human victims dedicated to Odin were regularly put to death by hanging or by a combination of hanging and stabbing, the man being strung up to a tree or a gallows and then wounded with a spear. Hence Odin was called the Lord of the Gallows or the God of the Hanged, and he is represented sitting under a gallows tree. Indeed he is said to have been sacrificed to himself in the ordinary way, as we learn from the weird verses of the Havamal, in which the god describes how he acquired his divine power by learning the magic runes: -“I know that I hung on the windy tree, For nine whole nights, Wounded with the spear, dedicated to Odin, Myself to myself” - Sir James George Frazer (The Golden Bough, 1922)

In Greece the great goddess Artemis herself appears to have been annually hanged in effigy in her sacred grove of Condylea among the Arcadian hills, and there accordingly she went by the name of the Hanged One...Every year the virgins sacrificed a young goat to the image by hanging it, because Aspalis was said to have hanged herself. The sacrifice may have been a substitute for hanging an image or a human representative of Artemis. Again, in Rhodes the fair Helen was worshipped under the title of Helen of the Tree...At Hierapolis also the victims were hung on trees before they were burnt. With these Greek and Scandinavian parallels before us we can hardly dismiss as wholly improbable the conjecture that in Phrygia a man-god may have hung year by year on the sacred but fatal tree - ibid

...certain cuneiform texts seem to prove that the Assyro-Chaldeans were acquainted with a "Tree of Life." Whether it was thus styled because it served as a simulacrum of the Goddess of Life, or whether it represented this divinity by reason of its own mythical function, the fact is none the less certain, according to Mr. Sayce, that the "divine Lady of Eden" or Edin, was termed in Northern Babylon, before receiving from the Semites the name Bab Ilu, the “Gate of God”…in the  old language of the country, Tintirkel, or Dintir-ra, which most Assyriologists translate as "the place of the Tree (or Grove) of Life" - Count Goblet D'Alviella (The Migration of Symbols, 1894)

In Ireland certain very famous trees, usually yew trees, were closely connected with the tribes in whose territory they stood. They were held as sacred, and served as tribal meeting-places. This custom was pagan in origin, but the trees continued to be held in reverence in Christian times. When Christianity was introduced, pagan sacred sites were often converted into Christian sacred sites – Alexander Stewart (A Highland Parish or the History of Fortingall, 1928)

The Yew & the Rowan
There are a great many false ideas about the Jews. They are said, for instance, to belong to a Semitic race. There is, however, no such race: there are only Semitic-speaking people showing varying racial compositions – Professor Hans Gunther (quote from Israel’s Racial Origins and Migrations, by W. H. Fasken, 1934)		The Yew Tree - One of the most sacred of all trees in Druidism. The taller and thinner variety of yew (similar to the cypress), known as fastigiata, grew abundantly throughout Western Ireland and was sacred to the ancient warrior queen and goddess of the Tuatha de Danann, Banbha, after whom Ireland was once named. Botanists believe all other Yews in the world to be descended from two Irish trees. County "Mayo" comes from the word meaning "yew forest." Interestingly, the most sacred Egyptian groves, orchards, and temple precincts appear to have had these Irish yews in pride of place. According to Ralph Ellis, the yew was the Egyptian's original "Tree of Life," and it featured prominently in Egypt's most sacred mystery school traditions and initiatory rites. It was a symbol of death and underworld rites. The oldest implements in the world, dating to over 50,000 years ago were made of yew wood. The tree may have been considered sacred because it poisoned all animals that ate of its bark or leaves except the stag and deer. The deer and stag were supremely sacred to the Irish Druids. The Yew can still frequently be found in British churchyards. Given that the Yews are older than Christian churches, it follows that Christian churches and cathedrals were deliberately positioned near to the tree for symbolic purposes. A study of the Yew tree serves to confirm the West to East movement of the elements of religion. The last letter of the Irish Ogham alphabet "I" was connected to the yew tree. The letter turns up as the Hebrew Yod, the first letter of the name of god Jehovah whom Moses suggestively met at a "burning bush." The word yew may be connected to the word Jew, from Yahu or Juda. So, were the "Jews" originally "men of the Yew" - that is initiates of Druidic colleges?

						The flag of the Church of Scotland. The burning bush is a tree
	The Levites - Just as the word Jew derives from the word for Yew tree, so does the ancient name Levi comes from the Gaelic Lewi or Luis, that can be rendered Lewis or Louis. Luis was the third letter of the Irish alphabet. It referred to the Rowan Tree that was the most sacred of all trees in Irish Druidism. The rowan in Danish is rönne, and in Swedish it is rönn. The name Ron (or Ronald) may derive from the name of this tree. Each berry of the Rowan tree bears a minute pentagram. The worshippers or keepers of the Rowan were known as the Lewi. This is where the word Levite originated. The Levites were priests, teachers, instructors. The biblical "Levites" adopted the old Druidic title as their own, either because they had descended from western Druids directly or because they were initiates and adepts from Druidic colleges. The "burning bush" of Moses (Akhenaton) is a cryptic reference to the tree, as is the Tree of Life (or Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil) motif found in the Book Genesis. The Isle of Lewis in Scotland was a Druidic center. The place names Lewisham and Lewes derive from the root. Additionally, the supreme sun-god of the ancient Irish was Lugh. He appears globally as the English Llud, Sumerian Lughal, Welsh Llew, Gaulish Lugos, Italian Logos. He appears in the Christian canon as St. Luke, the patron saint of surgeons and healers. The word London, comes from Lludunum (Lugh's Hill). Lugh's temple is now the site of the Christian St. Paul's Cathedral. The Rowan may have been given its name Luis due to it being sacred to Lugh. His title was Samildanach, meaning "Master of all Arts." The highest duty of a Druid was to instruct, guide, judge, and inspire. They were the Arya, the Elders, the Enlighteners, the Levites. Their sacred number was 13, representing the 12 signs plus the sun.

Among the greatest riddles of Jewish prehistoric times is that concerning the antecedents of the Levites. They are said to have been derived from one of the twelve tribes of Israel, the tribe of Levi, but no tradition has ever ventured to pronounce on where that tribe originally dwelt or what portion of the conquered country of Canaan had been allotted to it. They occupied the most important priestly positions, but yet they were distinguished from the priests. A Levite is not necessarily a priest: it is not the name of a caste - Sigmund Freud (Moses and Monotheism)

Early playing cards clearly feature Druidic nature leitmotifs, such as the 3 circles (triskellion or clubs) and the "leaves" of the great tree of life. Christian "Nativity Cross" bearing the sun-disk, and triskellion - a Druidic symbol adopted by the Copts (Egyptians). It represented the 3-4 harmonic

The word city derives from the Gaelic word cyfaith that originally denoted a seat of learning established by the Druidic order. In Britain there were forty such seats, or Druidic universities. In his book St. Paul in Britain, the British-Israelite Rev. R. W. Morgan describes some of the features of these exceptional and ancient seats of learning: The students at these universities numbered at times sixty-thousand souls, among whom were included the young nobility of Britain and Gaul. It required twenty years to master the circle of Druidic knowledge...Natural philosophy, astronomy, arithmetic, geometry, jurisprudence, medicine, poetry, and oratory were all proposed and taught, the first two with severe exactitude. The system of astronomy inculcated had never varied, being the same as that taught by Pythagoras, now known as the Copernican or Newtonian.

Derry City in Northern Ireland. From Duir meaning "Druid." Once the royal seat of the Irish Kings

The British words for "star" "astronomer" "astronomy" are seren, seronydd: hence the usual Greek term for the Druids was Seronidoe - astronomers.

Of all the attainments of the Druids in all the sciences, especially in this of astronomy, classic judges of eminence, Cicero and Caesar, Pliny, and Tacitus, Diodorus Siculus and Strabo, speak in high terms.

In the Druidic order indeed centered, and from it radiated to the whole world civil and ecclesiastical knowledge of the realm: they were its statesmen, legislators, priests, physicians, lawyers, teachers, poets; the depositories of all human and divine knowledge; its Church and parliament; its court of law; its colleges of physicians and surgeons; its magistrates, clergy and bishops

Author Peter Berresford Ellis reminds us that the Druids were not only exemplary healers but the first to take interest in the welfare of their lower classes. In his book The Druids, Berresford writes: Druids appear as healers in many Irish and Welsh tales. And in the sagas we find both male and female physicians...The Druidic physicians appear in native sources as being skilled with herbs as well as surgery and among their operations they perform Caesarean sections, amputations and brain surgery...We are told that a whole medical corps accompanied the army of Conchobhar Mac Nessa during the Tain wars...In pre-Christian times in most European societies, even those of Greece and Rome, little provision was made for the treatment of the ailing poor. The sick, feeble and elderly were often put to death as the ultimate remedy for their ills. These societies regarded disease as a curse inflicted by supernatural powers and sought to propitiate the malevolent deities rather than organize relief work...The Irish sources refer to the establishment of the first hospital in Ireland by the semi-legendary queen of Ireland, Macha...Legend or not, we know that by the time of the Christian period, there were hospitals all over Ireland...The existence of such a system was in no small way a result of Druidic ideas which had been noted by Pliny

The so-called Norse Edda, full of poetic accounts of heroic gods and their deeds, was actually a creation of the Druids of Ireland and England. A close reading of the correct and unadulterated translation reveals the Druidic authorship of the sagas (See L. A. Waddell's British Edda)

The great Victorian historian, Godfrey Higgins, mentions the Druids and their customs several times in his monumental treatise: Anacalypsis: An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis or an Inquiry into the Origin of Languages, Nations and Religions. He writes:

…in the very oldest monuments of the Druids, we have the circle of stones, in the number 12, the signs in the circle - signs of the zodiacal circle, with the arch of heaven for the cupola; and, in fact, the divisions of the heavens marked in a great variety of ways

Pliny says, the Druids are the Gaulish Magi. Porphyry says, the name Magi...was most august and venerable: they alone were skilled in divine matters and were the ministers of the Deity

In his book Celtic Druids, Higgins emphasized the Western placement of the Druids:

In examining the very early histories of the Western parts of Europe, we every where meet with the monumental remains of a race of persons called the Druids

When studying the Druids and Celts we will do well to be very skeptical of the various reports concerning these venerators of nature found in the works of their enemies and destroyers. The majority of the negative accounts from the "historians" of the past are simply to be ignored. Learned and erudite scholars of Irish history rightly pay little heed to them.

Our knowledge of so-called Celtic religion has been largely derived from Caesar and other Roman authorities. These, imbued with Italian ideas, were not very reliable observers - James Bonwick (Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions, 1894)

One will be at first confounded by the extreme disproportion which exists between the rare documents left by the past, and the large developments presented by modern historians - James Bonwick (quoting the French historian Leflocq)

A great number of Irish epic texts speak of the Druids, but the literature and laws of Ireland were not written down until after Christianity swept through the Celtic countries - Sirona Knight (Celtic Traditions)

None of the Celtic source literature is by druids...In Ireland, the amount of poetic/druidic material in manuscripts...is substantial...the bulk of the source material is unpublished, and still untranslated - R. J. Stewart (Celtic Bards, Celtic Druids)

The truth about the Celts may surprise you, because many of the most common ideas about them are based on fantasy or, at best, half-truths. They were not wild and mindless barbarians who knew little of civilized ways but a sophisticated and technologically advanced culture spread throughout Europe who in many ways surpassed the Greeks and Romans...a Celtic woman had rights and power even Cleopatra might have envied - Philip Freeman (The Philosopher and the Druids)

Posidonius also notes that the Druids sacrificed condemned criminals...Posidonius states that "the Gauls will keep a criminal under guard for five years, then impale him on a pole in honor of their gods. They will then burn his body on an enormous pyre along with the first fruits of the land...but this particular rite of human sacrifice seems to have occurred only once every five years as part of a harvest festival. It was not a daily slaughter for some bloodthirsty god but an exceptional effort at restoring balance to nature for the good of the tribe" - ibid

The curious fact is that no Insular Celtic literature, nor tradition, provides evidence for the practice of human sacrifice as a religious rite - Peter Berresford Ellis (The Druids)

Doctor Geoffrey Keating (1569-1644), in his masterpiece on Ireland, lays out numerous instances of blatant and egregious literary fraudulence concerning the history of Ireland's customs, people, and past.

He accuses the worst offenders and reminds us to doubt all accounts of early British historians ignorant as to the origin of their country's name. Keating drew on the annals and original chronicles of the ancients in an attempt to rectify some of the damage that had been done to Ireland's reputation since Roman times. The scale of the scandalous tampering and misrepresentation of Ireland's true history is difficult to grasp even when expertly divulged by one as knowledgeable as Doctor Keating. The good Doctor stresses how he was motivated to his work by the campaign of misrepresentation he saw occurring around him from the foreign occupants of Ireland, and because he "deemed it not right, that so honored a country, having such noble inhabitants, should be let sink into oblivion, through the want of historic account of its ancient affairs." We present a few examples from his vast superlative treatise:

There are some authors among the ancients, that make false statements with respect to the Irish, particularly Strabo, who asserts in his third book, that the Irish live upon human flesh. My answer to this charge is, that Strabo has lied, in thus asserting the Irish to be cannibals. For, nowhere in our ancient records do we read of any person, that eats human flesh...My answer to St. Jerome, who makes the same assertion...is that he must have had his information from some vender of lies, and that it should not be credited to the prejudice of the Irish - (The History of Ireland: From the Earliest Period to the English Invasion, 1629)

Solinus, in his twenty-first chapter, tells us that there are no bees in Ireland; and goes on to state, that the male children, for the first month after birth, receive their food from the point of a sword. He also says that the Irish, when they have killed an enemy, are wont to bathe themselves in his blood; but it is evident from our own history that every word of this is false - ibid

Poponius Mela, speaking of the Irish, in his third book, calls them "a people ignorant of every virtue." Many other ancient foreign writers have spoken of Ireland in the same rash, disparaging manner, on the authority of lying rumors - ibid

Cambrensis says, in his ninth chapter, that it was customary with Irishmen to take the widows of their deceased brothers in marriage...Cambrensis says also, in his twenty-second chapter, that when the nobles of Ireland ratify their alliances, in the presence of a bishop, they kiss the relics of the saints, and drink of each other's blood, though, while doing so, they are ready to betray and murder one another. My answer to him is, that there is no poem or passage, tradition or old writing, history or annals, that bears him out in this malicious statement - ibid

On the methodical campaign of destruction and historical excision against the Irish, Doctor Keating writes:

...the British writers themselves confess that the Saxons (English) have left them no old writings or coins, from which they could obtain a knowledge of the history of those times...thus Gildas, an ancient British writer, tells us that the old monuments and coins, and, consequently, the ancient history of the Britons, had been destroyed by the Romans and Saxons - (The History of Ireland: From the Earliest Period to the English Invasion, 1629)

The Romans ruled the British Isles for over 400 years, from 40 to 410 AD. They had more than enough time to obliterate records and crush traditions of great antiquity. The villainous historians under their employ wrote what they were instructed to write, and little of their nonsense does justice to the people they conquered and suppressed. The Romans rank among history's worst desecrators of ancient gnosis. Julius Caesar himself ordered the utter destruction of the great library of Alexandria, that was later burned twice by Christians and Moslems. The student unwittingly seduced into accepting the scurrilously prejudiced and generally unreliable Roman and Saxon compositions as authentic accounts is seriously disadvantaged in his study.

…the great library at Alexandria, on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, the repository of some of the ancient world’s oldest records, was put to the torch not just once but three times - by Julius Caesar, by a Christian mob, and by an Islamic caliph. Most of the records are deemed to have been destroyed, although it seems that a few later found their way to Byzantium, and others may well have been stored safely elsewhere…the emperor Diocletian then had yet further esoteric works (again of the Egyptians) burned in AD 296, at both Alexandria and Byzantium - John Gordon (Egypt: Child of Atlantis)

The second source of evidence comes from the insular traditions of Ireland and Wales which although written by Celts, date from a period when Christianity had already become established as the dominant religion. These would thus be suspect as first hand testimony, containing elements of doctrinal re-editing by the clerics who first put them down on paper - Gregory A. Clouter (The Lost Zodiac of the Druids)

The two examples from Saxon writings that follow perfectly illustrate the problem we face when we look for true testimony concerning Ireland and the Irish people:

The meanest peasant, that lives in the English province, would not give his daughter in marriage to the most noble prince amongst the Irish - Giraldus Cambrensis (Medieval Norman monk and "historian" who was appointed to Ireland by King Henry II. His work is full of inaccuracies concerning Irish political and religious traditions)

...however excellent a language the Gaelic may be, whosoever acquires a taste for it, acquires at the same time a taste for the evil habits of those who speak it - Stanihurst (Sixteenth Century English historian who called for the total destruction of the Gaelic language)

Despite the scathing remarks against the Irish, Stanihurst had to admit in writing that as regards the manufacture of musical instruments, and the skill of playing music, the Irish were "incomparably skillful, beyond all other nations." Doctor Keating reminds us that the Irish records were the oldest in Europe since the Scandinavians, Germans, and Saxons, had destroyed their own records in times past and had many destroyed during wars and invasions that did not spread into Ireland. He understood that it was of paramount importance for the Saxon and Norman invaders of Ireland to eradicate these records so that the antiquity of Ireland would not be known and so they would not appear culturally immature. John O'Mahony, who translated Keating's writings in 1866, emphasized that the main targets for eradication were the Irish Bards and Ollamh (Druids), the preservers of the ancient history of Ireland. O'Mahony wrote:

Against no class of her people did the English law rage with more violence than against the bards and shanachies; and none were hunted down more relentlessly by the bloodhound myrmidons of our tyrants. In fact, it was necessary for the perpetration of their wholesale plunder, and for the imposition of feudal landlordism, in the place of the tribe-ownership of the Gaels, that the members of the free clans should not be reminded of their pedigree recited by the professional historians...For this purpose did they seek and do still seek to demoralize and brutalize our noble race - (The History of Ireland: From the Earliest Period to the English Invasion, 1629)

The Statutes of Kilkenny (Edward III) made it penal to entertain any Irish Bard; but Munster Bards continued to hold their annual Sessions to the early part of last century. Carolan, the old blind harper, called last of the Bards, died in 1738 - James Bonwick (Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions, 1894)

There have never been snakes in Ireland. So who or what were the "Serpents" that were cast out by Christianity?

The Druids held the symbols of the serpent and the dragon in the highest esteem and considered them insignias of royalty. They referred to themselves as Naddreds. This word means "Wise Serpent." It may be connected to the Hebrew Naassians (a title meaning "Serpent Priests" from nasi meaning "saintly leader"), and to Nagas (a Hindu word meaning "Kingly Serpents"). We derive the word adder from it. According to Irish mythology, the Druid Arphaxad referred to himself thusly: I am a Druid, I am an Architect, I am a Prophet, I am a Serpent Scholar and occultist Manly Palmer Hall wrote of the ancient priesthood who were known as the Serpent Kings. In his masterpiece The Secret Teachings of All Ages, he wrote: The priests of the Mysteries were symbolized as a serpent, sometimes called Hydra...The Serpent Kings reigned over the earth. It was these Serpent Kings who founded the Mystery Schools which later appeared as the Egyptian and Brahmin Mysteries...The serpent was their symbol...They were the true Sons of Light, and from them have descended a long line of adepts and initiates

The symbol of the serpent is found throughout Ireland where physical snakes never existed. This is because there is a world of difference between physical snakes and the symbols of dragons or serpents. "Wise Serpent" refers to those who were initiated into the highest mysteries. It signified those who possessed healing abilities and great knowledge of astronomy and astrology. The Magi of Ireland were expert architects and they had the most intimate connection to flora and fauna. Like the pharaohs of Egypt they were semi-enlightened beings who lived in harmony with each other and with nature. They obeyed nature's superordinate laws and knew well the penalties for breaching them.

The druids were the exclusive intellectual elite, and were recruited among the ranks of the nobility. They enjoyed special privileges, such as exemption from tributes and were not obliged to bear arms coins…Their education was very lengthy, and involved twenty years of memorizing sacred texts which religious taboo banned from being put in writing…In their religious role, the druids insured the conduct of religious practices, presided over sacrificial rites, and received and interpreted omens. The only ones "to know the nature of the gods," they acted as intermediaries between the world of humankind and the domain of the supernatural. Guardians of the fundamental gnosis, they perpetuated a conception of mankind and the universe contained in an esoteric doctrine which, for obvious reasons, remains a mystery - Otto Herman Frey (The Celts)

No Celt has left us a record of his faith and practice, and the unwritten poems of the Druids died with them. Yet from these fragments we see the Celt as the seeker after God, linking himself by strong ties to the unseen, and eager to conquer the unknown by religious rite or magic art. For the things of the spirit have never appealed in vain to the Celtic soul, and long ago classical observers were struck with the religiosity of the Celts - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts, 1911)

The Druids taught the doctrine of the one supreme being, a future state of rewards and punishments, the immortality of the soul and a metempsychosis...Their doctrines were chiefly those of the Pythagoreans. Their authority in many cases exceeded that of the monarch. They were, of course, the sole interpreters of religion, and consequently superintended all sacrifices; for no private person was allowed to offer a sacrifice without their sanction. They possessed the power of excommunication, which was the most horrible punishment that could be inflicted next to that of death...As the Romans gained ground in these islands the power of the Druids gradually declined; and they were finally assailed by Suetonius Paulinis, governor of Britain under Nero, AD 61 - Charles William Heckethorn (Secret Societies of All Ages and Countries)

The serpentine shapes we see on later monkish books, such as the famous Book of Kells, have a much earlier origin than we have been told. Their significance has to do with arcane mysteries and the bloodline of the kings. The Welsh term for the Gaelic kings was Pendragon. This title meant "Head of the Dragons" and it referred to a kingly bloodline going back to the ante-diluvian epoch.

No country in Europe is so associated with the Serpent as Ireland, and none has so many myths and legends connected with the same. As that creature has furnished so many religious stories in the East, and as the ancient faiths of Asia and Egypt abound in references to it, we may reasonably look for some remote similarity in the ideas of worship between Orientals and the sons of Erin - James Bonwick (Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions)

Keating assures his readers that "the Milesians, from the time they first conquered Ireland, down to the reign of Ollamh Fodhla, made use of no other arms of distinction in their banners than a serpent twisted round a rod, after the example of their Gadelian ancestors" - James Bonwick (Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions)

...the nuptial tree, round which coils the serpent, is connected with time and with life as a necessary condition; and with knowledge - the knowledge of a scientific priesthood, inheriting records and traditions hoary, perhaps, with the snows of a glacial epoch - Kennersley Lewis

Jesus is said to have been from the town of Nazareth. It is known that no such place ever existed. It is also known that the word was blatantly mistranslated to signify a place instead of a sect or cult. In fact, it has been revealed to be more likely that the man given the name Jesus was a "Nazarene" from the sect of that name. This gives us greater insight, since this cult's name bears great similarity to the Naasarites or Naassians - the "Serpent Priests" who followed Moses out of Egypt. It was this Egyptian connection that had to be obscured. And so the editors of the bible's testaments cleverly rendered Nazareth as a place name. This is only one small example of the tampering and distortion that has taken place to the bible and so many other great texts that would have served mankind to have a truer understanding of the world and of the past had they been left intact.

The Talmud also contradicts the gospels in some essential points concerning Jesus. For instance, it never mentions that he was a Galilean or came from the city of Nazareth. Although it refers to him being a Nazarene (Greek Nazoraios) used to indicate a religious sect, not a geographical location - Ahmed Osman (Christianity: An Ancient Egyptian Religion)

Serapis and Jesus were both represented by a great serpent - E. Valentia Straiton (The Celestial Ship of the North)

Just who these Serpent Priests, the keepers of the "Brazen Serpent" following Moses, really were is revealed in Volume Two.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent - (Exodus 7:5-7)

One of the titles for the biblical John the Baptist was the "Great Nazar." Clearly, this initiator of Jesus was himself connected to the Nazarenes and Serpent Priests. One of the monograms for Christ is the Greek Chi Ro. The word "carpenter" comes from the Hebrew naggar that is thought to mean "learned man" but which is very close to the Hindi naga and the Gaelic Gnadir, that mean "serpent." However, this title is very near to the term cheiro, meaning "Serpent Holder." According to the 12th century English historian Geoffrey of Monmouth, the great stones found in Stonehenge at Salisbury Plain on England came from Naase in Western Ireland. Naase means "serpent." Stonehenge is built of the stone of the district...But some of the stones, especially those which are said to have been devoted to astronomical purposes, have been brought from a distance, probably the North of Ireland - Sir Flinders Petrie (Archaeologist)

Two Druids - from a bas relief found at Autun France

In light of this, when we read in Irish legends of the arrival of Saint Patrick, and of his casting out "serpents" from the land, we understand that the reference was not to physical snakes but to the non-Christian Druidic "Serpent Priesthood" he was apparently sent to depose and eradicate.

The three, five, seven, or nine-headed snake is the totem of a race of rulers, who presided over the Aryan Hindus - J. H. Baecker

The Maruts, Rudras, and Pitris are esteemed "Fiery dragons of wisdom," as magicians and Druids were of old - Hans F. K. Günther (The Religious Attitudes of the Indo-Europeans)

In every ancient language the word Dragon signified what it now does in Chinese, i.e. the being who excels in intelligence - Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Indeed, the prowess of Christian magic was always overstated. The miracle-working prophets and saviors of Christianity had, after all, a lot to compete with. In our estimation, there is little doubt that the astonishing accounts of Christian miracle healings and banishings - from the wizardry of Moses in the wilderness to the raising of the dead talent of Jesus to the feats of St. Patrick and St. Columba - were deliberately concocted and added to the Christian canon in order to outdo the legacy of the Druids. The alleged healing powers of the waters at Lourdes is, for instance, about as pagan a motif as anyone might conceive. In the end we must be aware that the Druidism of post-Christian times, as well as the Druidism presented to us in official accounts, is not the same thing as actual Druidism. It is mere propaganda and distortion.

Druidism was an artfully contrived system of elaborate fraud and imposture. To them was entrusted the charge of religion, jurisprudence, and medicine. They certainly well studied the book of Nature, were acquainted with the marvels of natural magic, the proportions of plants and herbs, and what of astronomy was then known; they may even have been skilled in mesmerism and biology - Windele (Kilkenny Records)

These insular Druids are represented as being little better than conjurers, and their dignity is as much diminished as the power of the King is exaggerated. He is hedged with a royal majesty which never existed in fact...his Druids are sorcerers and rain-doctors, who pretend to call down the storms and the snow, and frighten the people with the fluttering wisp, and other childish charms. They divined by the observation of sneezing and omens, by their dreams after holding a bull-feast, or chewing raw horseflesh in front of their idols, by the croaking of their ravens and chirping of tame wrens, or by the ceremony of licking the hot edge of bronze taken out of the rowan-tree faggot. They are like the Red Indian medicine men, or the Angekoks of the Eskimo, dressed up in bull's-hide coats and bird-caps with waving wings. The chief or Arch-Druid of Tara is shown to us as a leaping juggler with ear clasps of gold, and a speckled cloak; he tosses swords and balls into the air, and like the buzzing of bees on a beautiful day is the motion of each passing the other - Professor Eugene O'Curry (On the Manners and Customs of the Ancient Irish)

St. Columba, the Culdee, was much the same as St. Patrick in his mission work, and his contests with Druids. He changed water into wine, stilled a storm, purified wells, brought down rain, changed winds, drove the devil out of a milk-pail, and raised the dead to life. All that tradition acknowledged as miraculous in the Druids was attributed equally to Columba as to Patrick - James Bonwick (Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions, 1894)

Alternative historian Comyns Beaumont reminds us, in his work, that the suppression of Druidism by Christianity's bigoted and ruthless ambassadors did not mean the Christian hierarchs in Rome did not benefit from the traditions and metaphysical wisdom of the sect they eradicated. Indeed, as Beaumont asserts, they adapted their own customs and theological lineaments from Druidism. Speaking of the status of the high Druid, Beaumont wrote:

His ecclesiastical power being far greater than that of the Papacy in its heyday, he claimed to speak with the direct authority of God as the Pope does yet on matters of doctrine. The Celtic Hierarch called himself the Living God, and, pretending to divine power, ruled with all temporal and ecclesiastical control as he saw fit. Reade says of the Pontifex Maximus of Rome: "The office was probably an imitation of the Arch-Druid, who had supreme power over secular as well as ecclesiastical affairs, and who was surrounded by a Senate of the chief Druids, as the Pontifex Maximus was by Flamines, and the Pope by Cardinals - (The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain)

The Solar Church of Ireland

The monuments prove that, quite early in the Dynastic Period, there was known and worshipped in Lower Egypt another form of the Sun-god who was called RA. Of his origin and early history nothing is known, and the meaning of his name has not yet been satisfactorily explained. It does not seem to be Egyptian - E. A. Wallis Budge (Tutankhamen: Amenism, Atenism and Egyptian Monotheism, 1923)

The original unadulterated solar church existed in Ireland from before the time of the historically known "Druids." The Megalithic Irish (or Arish) were known as the Hyperboreans, which implied not only that they inhabited Northern climes but that they were the descendants of the pre-diluvian inhabitants of Atlantis, Lemuria, and the other lost civilizations that flourished in the world before the cataclysms that particularly devastated the lands of the North-West.

Opposite to the coast of Gallia Celtica there is an island in the ocean, no smaller than Sicily - lying to the north, which is inhabited by the Hyperboreans, who are so named because they dwell beyond the north wind. This island is of a happy temperature, rich in soil, and fruitful in every thing, yielding its produce twice in the year. Tradition says that Latona was born there, and for that reason they venerate Apollo more than any other god. They are in a manner his priests, for they daily celebrate him with continual songs of praise, and pay him abundant honors - Diodorus Siculus (Greek Historian, 90-30 BC)

The prolonged and various effects of this prehistoric upheaval were chronicled by the literati of later civilized nations and cultures. It is clear, however, that even before the upheavals proto-Druidic teachings and technical expertise had been dispersed throughout the world to enrich civilizations not only of Eastern lands but also of the Americas. These academies were the prototypes for those of later ages, at Iona, Nineveh, Tyre, Carthage, Alexandria, Pergamon, Athens, Sparta, Ephyra, Benares, Thebes, and elsewhere. These colleges were presided over by the Servants of Truth - those Elders who have since become known as the "Druids." These Elders were men and women with expertise in astronomy, astrology, architecture, medicine, music, poetry, and metaphysical philosophy. Long before the age of Galileo, the Renaissance, and the so-called "Age of Enlightenment," the Druids (like the Maya) possessed telescopes by which they observed the heavens. They were experts at building tall stone observatories and they knew the complex ordinances of their vast sky temple in which the sun and moon were god and goddess. The former was the representation of light and worldly wisdom, the latter of inwardness and self-knowledge.

Christ with the sun and moon on either side. Druidism in plain sight

The more deeply we study the question of the Druids, the more it enlarges, and the greater becomes its importance. We arrive at the first conviction that behind the community of Gaulish or Celtic priests, of which Caesar, Diodorus, and Strabo have popularized the name, is hidden an old social institution, which, from the highest antiquity, made its civilizing influence felt, outside of Gaul, Ireland, and Scotland, in Wales, Scandinavia, Germany, among the Aestiens, the Celts of the Upper Danube, the Getes, and more particularly, in Thrace…The Pythagorean brotherhoods and the institutions of Numa constitute, we believe, one of the unrecognized aspects of these ancient cenobitic communities, of which our convents, monasteries, and abbeys became the successors – Alexandre Bertrand (quoted in Druidism the Ancient Faith of Britain, by Dudley Wright, 1924)

…there is also an international dimension…to druidic activity…if we think of Caesar's statement…that the Gauls believed that Druidism was discovered in Britain, and that those wishing to perfect their knowledge of the discipline travel there in order to do so, we must accept the fact of its boundary-less quality. And, considering the even larger context extending beyond the Celtic world, and what we have seen as broad similarities shared by that world with Roman, Teutonic, Lithuanian, Thracian, Persian, and Indian, we must entertain as quite reasonable Chadwick's suggestion that the Druids along with the others form a common mantic chain - Paul R. Lonigan (The Druids: Priests of the Ancient Celts, 1996)

The Druids, who united in a Society, occupied themselves with profound and sublime questions, raised themselves above human affairs, and sustained the immortality of the soul - Ammianus Marcellinus (pagan military leader for Christian Emperor Julian)

Purification by fire for body and soul, and assimilation thereby to the purest essence of the universe, were the fundamental ideas of their creed - the infallible means of the highest and most acceptable apotheosis - Dr. H. Waddell

Besides the purely spiritual beliefs, they permitted a material worship for the people. They permitted the adoration of God that which the ancients named the Elements - Lamariouze (On the Gaulish Druids)

Like the later Freemasons, who appropriated their symbolic tropes, the ancient Druids venerated the number three and tripartite metaphysical principles. From the earliest days of the Irish the custom was for three kings to simultaneously govern. This is a phenomenon we find employed in Egypt where each of the fourteen or more nomes, or sacred cities, along the Nile were ruled over by a trinity of gods. The Druids, like the Celts who came after them, were also very conscious of the dual nature of things. As night follows day, and death follows life, so did all things in life possess their "negative" side. The sun and solar-god were no different. The dark side of Apollo was Dionysus. The dark side of Ahura Mazda was Ahriman, the dark side of Horus was Set, and the dark side of God was Lucifer. It was only later that the pretender solar church of Rome decided to abolish the logic of the dualist metaphysic and divide the sides of one personality into two separate and distinct entities forever adverse to one another and never to be reconciled. The consequences of this philosophic travesty are seen throughout the world we live in. The travesty has replaced and over-written the sublime gnosis of the Druids and the teachers of truth, and has served the masters of darkness and lies.

Proto-astrology was not premised upon a solar theology since the sun on its annual rotation physically and symbolically equates with ephemerality and wanes, with time and evolution through time. The twelve signs were seen as twelve aspects of consciousness. They represented the innate categories of consciousness. The sun stands for the human ego, and the ego was the archetypal "hero" who must pass through the twelve "school rooms" before he can be pure and wise enough to know the secrets of the universe. The Stellar Cult understood that the personal horoscope is a projection of one's inner republic, so to speak. It is a life-map delineating the strengths and weaknesses we possess, and an external representation of the interaction between our Dharma and Karma, between the masculine and feminine modalities of being, and of the interaction of psychic and physical energy. To the Stellar Cult the sun was not considered the center of the zodiac because the ego was not considered the center of human consciousness. The properties of the sun, analogous to the properties of the ego, were not as revered as they are today. It was understood, by the ancient magi, that the light of ego-consciousness was not sufficient to illumine all the mysteries of the self. To cast a beam of light onto something only ensures that everything that is not within that beam is cast into darkness. Light may highlight and clearly reveal one small area but must, as a result, cast all else into shadow. Metaphysically, the situation is exactly the same. If we find ourselves in ignorance today, about almost everything that matters, there is a reason. The reason has to do with the machinery and mechanics of light. As the sun literally draws a veil of light across the body of the mysteries (the night sky and the stars) so the human ego (our "inner sun" so to speak) also draws a veil of psychic luminescence over our true inner essence and source. We have little idea what this means today because we have been indoctrinated, even intimidated, by thousands of years of Judeo-Christianity and the orthodox hegemonies of those aligned and obsessed with "solar propaganda." Those subscribing to this anti-human ideology tend to regard women, nature, quiet, and darkness as suspect, threatening, and even evil.

The solar halo - Its origin is Egyptian. Prior to his conversion, Constantine’s favorite god, as reflected by his coins, was Sol, the sun god. Constantine continued to depict Sol on coins as late as 324A.D. The most common variety of coin showing Sol was a bronze follis, with Sol standing and a dedicatory inscription Soli Invicto comiti -“To the Invincible Sun, companion.” Constantine probably minted hundreds of thousands of coins for Sol after his “conversion” to Christianity... In the decade after the Mulvian Bridge victory, even gold coins, in which emperors usually took the most interest, still depicted Sol - Stanley A. Hudson (Tracing the Spread of Christianity Through Coins)

The ego-bound creature expresses himself aggressively. He is acquisitive and seeks to dominate those he comes into contact with. But the energy of the ego is finite. Like the physical sun it also waxes and wanes and is never constant. This is one of the reasons why the sun became an analog for the ego of men. Men require rest and sleep and likewise the sun apparently rested during the hours of night. The stars appeared relatively stable and unchanging and so they became the symbols of the soul (or the self).

From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men - (Matthew 16: 21-23)

And Moses rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel - (Exodus 24)

And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness (brightness) - (Exodus 24-10)

The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning: It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times - (Matt 16:1-3)

My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill. He fenced it, cleared it of stone, and he planted it with grapevines. He built a watchtower on it and carved out a press. He waited: expecting grapes from it - (Isaiah 5)

I, Esdras, saw upon the Mount Sion a great people whom I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs. And in the midst of them there was a young man of high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns...It is the Son of God - (Book of Esdras)

…The outer darkness is a great serpent, the tail of which is in is mouth, and it is outside the whole world, and surroundeth the whole world: in it there are many places of punishment, and it containeth twelve halls wherein severe punishment is inflicted. In each hall is a governor differing from that of his neighbor - Egyptian Passage (from E. A. Wallis Budge's The Gods of the Egyptians, Vol. 1)

O, ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? - (Matt 16:3)

On its apparent annual passage across the heavens, the sun transits through 36 astrological mansions and 12 astrological houses. Astrologically speaking, when the sun enters each sign or house of the zodiac it takes on a different metaphysical aspect. Even during the course of a single day the sun possessed three important aspects. It was young at the Eastern horizon, full grown at midday, and old and wise at sunset. These facets of a single entity were incorporated into the story of the Sun King who represented the powers of the sun upon the Earth. As the sun was the center of heaven so the king was the center of his tribe or nation.

The priests worshipped the solar facets and took to personifying them as separate gods or deities although they never forgot that it was one being, and one concept, that was ultimately being revered. As every "disciple" would have perceived the biblical Jesus differently, so it was with the ancients and their chief. As modern Christians accept a tripartite division of godhead (God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) so did the ancients understand that there were many facets to the king of light. As the sun has three aspects (rising, midday, and setting) so did the Sun King also have three faces. The Hindu Trinity (Trimurti), as well as the Christian one, are remnants of this Astro-Theological principle. The twelve aspects of the heavenly sun were rescripted into the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve sons of Jacob, the twelve judges, and the twelve disciples or followers of Jesus, the physical son of god.

The original Trinity was of Druidic origin and referred to the 3 stations of the Sun

Diodorus Siculus says that in an island west of the Celtae, the Druids brought the sun and moon near them - Godfrey Higgins (Celtic Druids)

The Irish Druidical rites manifested themselves principally in sun worship. Their chief god was Bel or Baal - the same worshipped by the Phoenicians - the god of the sun. The Irish name for the sun, Grian, is, according to Virgil, one of the names of Apollo - another sun-god, Gryneus. Sun-worship continued in Ireland down to the time of St. Patrick, and some of its customs exist among the peasantry of that country to this day - Ignatius Donnelly (Atlantis: the Antediluvian World, 1882)

The Sun King of Ireland

When Christianity preached Jesus as God, it preached the most familiar name of its own deity to Druidism; and in the ancient British tongue 'Jesus' has never assumed its Greek, Latin, or Hebrew form, but remains the pure Druidic 'Yesu' - Fredrick Haberman (Tracing Our Ancestors)

Christ is my Druid - St. Columba (from: Six Saints of the Covenant, by Walker)

Iesa Crios, with his crown. The Druid crown was not of "thorns" but of roses. Regardless, of the spelling and rendition (Esa, Essa, Iesa, Hesu, Isa, Ysa, Jesse, Jeshua, Ishwara, or Aesar, etc,) the archetype remains the same. The biblical patriarch Isaac is a clear rendition of Iesa, the Irish god of light

Ireland had its own autochthonous (home-grown) solar religion and church. Theirs was the original solar church and theocracy, most probably transported from the pre-diluvian civilizations from which the ancient Irish had descended. The evidence for this exists but has been cunningly concealed for centuries by the imposter Roman (Vatican) hierarchs and their agents. That Irish Church of the Sun, the original Christianity, had its own Pontiff entitled "Crios" or "Christos," and its own Druidic customs rites and beliefs. These were of such immense antiquity and profundity that all other cultures in the world awed them. Abaris, the great Druid, traveled Eastward to the school of master Pythagoras ("I am the serpent") to bring what would later be referred to as "Kabalistic" instruction to the Hellenes, while other acolytes and priests from Ireland set up sacred colleges throughout the world. Abaris came to Athens, holding a bow, having a quiver hanging from his shoulders, his body wrapt up in a plaid, and wearing trousers reaching from the soles of his feet to his waist - James Bonwick (quoting Himerius the historian) Among them the doctrine of Pythagoras prevailed that the souls of men were immortal, and after completing their term of existence they live again, the soul passing into another body - Diodorus of Sicily (Historian)

It is Clement who puts the proverbial cat among the pigeons by saying that it was not the Druids who accepted Pythagoras' doctrine of immortality of the soul, but Pythagoras who had accepted the Druid's doctrine. Clement cites Polyhistor as his source. 'Alexander (Polyhistor) desires to state...Pythagoras was one of those who hearkened to the Celts (Galatae) and the Brahmins - Peter Berresford Ellis (The Druids)

Every one of the great Irish Druidic centers of initiation and learning was eventually destroyed during the rise to power of the later imposter church of Atonist Rome. They went the way of the great libraries such as at Pergamon ("of Amon"), Byblos, Carthage, and Alexandria. The Irish church had its own sun god and sun king, and personified the powers of the universe through the heavenly bodies - the sun, moon, and stars. This is where words like "minister," "deacon," "sexton," and "magistrate," etc, come from.

It would appear probable that the religion of the Druids passed from Ireland to England and France. The metempsychosis or transmigration of souls was one of the articles of their belief long before the time of Pythagoras; it had probably been drawn from the storehouse of Atlantis, whence it passed to the Druids, the Greeks, and the Hindoos. The Druids had a pontifex maximus to whom they yielded entire obedience. Here again we see a practice which extended to the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Hindoos, Peruvians, and Mexicans - Ignatius Donnelly (Atlantis: the Antediluvian World, 1882)

The faith in a Jesus had been for a long time in existence among innumerable Mandaic sects in Asia Minor, which differed in many ways from each other, before this faith obtained a definite shape in the religion of Jesus - Arthur Dewes (The Christ Myth)

In India and Tibet there are apparently records of the visit of Jesus to these countries, who was known there as Isa or Issa. After visiting Leh the capital of Ladakh which borders Tibet in the Himalayas, Henrietta Sands Merrick records in her book In the World's Attic (1931): "In Leh is the Legend of Christ who is called 'Issa', and it is said that the monastery at Hemis holds precious documents fifteen hundred years old which tell of the days that He passed in Leh where He was joyously received and where he preached - Barry Dunford (The Celto-Himalayan Connection)

The Irish solar king was known as Iesa or Essa (also Esa, Esu, or even Hesu and Jesu). The word deus meaning "god" is but one of many that derives from this ancient name. During their rites, the Druids would find a tree in the shape of a cross, or would lop off the branches of a specifically chosen oak to make a cruciform. Upon this tree the name Hesus was usually inscribed. The party of Druids present at the ceremony of Iesa would face Eastward toward the rising of the sun and sing hymns and chant to the new-born son of the sun. The very word east comes from his name. It was only after later mythmongers assimilated the custom and made a travesty of it that a physical man would appear hanging in pain from a tree, or was said to have been in the presence of god at a burning bush. The T-shaped tree represented the Tinne and Tau letter of the sacred alphabets, and it connoted ending and rebirth. The letter "T" served the same meaning as the Greek Omega. Christ, who is associated with this letter, is based on Iesa who was, in previous ages, associated with the letter Tau, the hierogram of which was the tree or cross.

Christ suffering on the Cross. A hideous travesty of the original sublime Druidic premise concerning renewed life from death, the nucleation of opposites, and human mastery over adversity. This sadistic morbid horror was the brain-child of the Vatican myth-mongers, worshippers of the "dark side of the sun" - Lucifer-Jehovah-Aton The splendour of the material sun, which rises everyday at the bidding of god, will pass away, and those who worship it will go into dire punishment; whereas "the true sun of Christ' whom we, Christians worship shall endure for ever, and those who do his will shall abide with Him for ever - St. Patrick (Patron Saint of Christian Ireland. Source, Early Irish History and Mythology, by T. F. O'Rahilly)

Jesus is still referred to as Essa in the Koran and was known by that name to both the Arabs and the Copts (Egyptian Christians). In Northern India Iesa is remembered as Issa or Essa. From this word we derive "essence," "Essene," and "esoteric," etc. Other versions of the name are Hesu, Esus, and Aesar that meant "He who creates (or brings) the fire."

The Celtic Heus or Esus was a mysterious god of Gaul. The Irish form was Aesar, meaning, he who kindles a fire, and the Creator. In this we are reminded of the Etruscan Aesar, the Egyptian sun bull Asi, the Persian Aser, the Scandinavian Aesir, and the Hindoo Aeswar. The Bhagavat-Gita says of the last that "he resides in every mortal" - James Bonwick (Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions, 1894)

Light emanating as human hands. The Egyptian word for this emanating life-giving light was akin to the English "hovering" and was the origin of the Holy Spirit idea. The original concept goes back to the Irish Iesa, the sun god who hovered above bestowing light and life by way of his death

The Egyptian rendition is Asir (close to Asura or Osiris). The Greek hero Perseus, and the Arthurian Sir Percival, have their origins in this Irish Iesa or Esa. The Phoenicians knew him as Eshmun. Iesa was the arche - the original archetype - upon which all other masters of light and virtue were modeled. The scandalous attempts of later Judeo-Christian mythmongers to transfer Iesa's qualities to a stereotype of their own limited manufacture does not detract from this fact. As we saw above, the root is the Irish duw that becomes the Latin deus and the Anglo-Saxon Jeus, or Jesus. It becomes the Grecian Zeus. The state of learning on the continent of Europe at that time, wherever the influence of the Roman Church was dominant, was at a very low state or non-existent. It was only in the monastic establishments maintained at different points on the continent by the monks of the Irish Church that learned men were to be found. There were practically no learned men in the Roman Church at that time. Even a century later when the Emperor Charlemagne espoused the cause of the Roman Church, he had to get Irish schoolmen for instructors to teach in the palace school which he established - Conor MacDari (The Bible: An Irish Book)

While it is acknowledged that the renaissance of learning on the continent of Europe in the early medieval period was due to Irish instruction and culture, this acknowledgement comes only in outspoken candor from German rather than from British or Roman sources. These latter have endeavored to minimize the work of the Irish philosophers, schoolmen, and monks and their learning and culture - ibid

If what Caesar says be true, that the Gauls were in the habit of sending their young people over to the British Isles for instruction, and that use of letters was known in Gaul, nothing can be more absurd than to suppose that the use of letters was unknown in Britain - Godfrey Higgins (Celtic Druids)

Opposite to the coast of Gallia Celtica there is an island in the ocean, not smaller than Sicily - lying to the north, which is inhabited by the Hyperboreans, who are so named because they dwell beyond the north wind. This island is of a happy temperature, rich in soil, and fruitful in every thing, yielding its produce twice in the year. Tradition says that Latona was born there, and for that reason they venerate Apollo more than any other god. They are in a manner his priests, for they daily celebrate him with continual songs of praise, and pay him abundant honors - Diodorus Siculus (Greek Historian, 90-30 BC)

Iesa was also known to the original Irish as Crios, a word that means "circle" and also "cross" (as in "Crisscross"). This is why an Irish (or so-called "Celtic") cross is made of both these symbols. The design was astrologically based. The title "Christ" is probably a variant of Crios, and since both the Irish and the Egyptians designed their temples based on the zodiacal circle and cross, the tradition passed into Christianity.

In the Celtic mysteries of the Druids, the temple of initiation was either oval, to represent the mundane egg...or circular, because the circle was the symbol of the universe; or cruciform, in allusion to the four elements, or constituents of the universe. The Island of Lewis, in Scotland, has one combining the cruciform and circular form. There is a circle, consisting of twelve stones, while three more are placed in the east, and as many in the west and south, and thirty-eight, in two parallel lines, in the north, forming an avenue to the circular temple. In the centre of the circle is the image of the god - Albert G. Mackey (Symbolism of Freemasonry)

Horus enthroned. Like Ra, he wears the sun disk, the royal cobra and the Shepherd's Crook later adopted by Christians. Iesa's cross became Jesus' cross. These symbols were first used by the Druids in ages before Egypt's dynasties arose. The Crook was a variant of the staff.

Eventually, during the hegemony of the Solar Cult, the title meant not only "circle" but "sun." Christian saints are often shown with glowing halos while carrying cruciform staffs. In Egypt the staff was rendered as a shepherd's crook that was a symbol for the pharaohs, the Druids of Egypt. The pharaohs wore the serpent on their headgear and the serpent was the symbol of the Magi of Ireland, the Naddreds, or Druids. The Druids revered the zodiac above all things. Most of their legends are metaphors for star lore, and encapsulate celestial phenomena such as the movement of the planets and luminaries (the sun and moon) along the ecliptic. The Druidic knowledge of astromancy was transcribed by the Bards (Poets), Ovates (Speakers), and Minstrels (Singers) into songs, tales, and legends of "historical" personalities with no physical existence. The idea was always that mortals should model themselves on these fictional but archetypal renditions. The Crios (like the Hindu Creeshna or Krishna and the Christ) was the exemplar of the perfected man, the divine Androgyne, the nucleation of opposites. The Christians of later times adopted this icon and used it for their own purposes, adding the name "Jesus Christ" to their fraudulent scriptures during the Reformation (between the 14th and 17th centuries) very late in the day. Subsequently, the biblical editors and commentators did their best to excise and obliterate previous mention of this illustrious name and title. This term was feminized by the Romans as Ceres, the goddess of the Earth. But Ceres was Chrs or Christ.

Deity is from the Latin "Deus," which is traceable to "dies," a day - a period of time measured by the sun; Jesus is from "Jes"...which means "the one great fire from the sun," and Christ is derived from "Chris," a Chaldean term for the sun - Kersey Graves (Bible of Bibles, 1863 AD)

Esa was the third deity of the Druidic Trinity, of Bel, Taranis, and Esa. His name meant "The Raised One." His element was the wind. This was picked up by the Gnostics and Christians and turned into the "Ruach," the "Pneuma," and finally as the "Holy Spirit." Esa was commonly shown "hovering" in the sky, cutting from a tree in the form of a carpenter or, even more suggestively, hanging from a great tree while being stabbed to death. According to Druidic tradition his life-blood healed the Earth. It purified and revivified the land allowing a new season's abundance. The Druids understood the land to be literally born again from the blood of the sacrificed god Esa. The earth is the central creative principle in the universe that lies beneath the feat of the mortal, within which resides the god of the underworld. Through the intercession of Esus, the renewal of life is achieved every spring with the sprinkling of the blood of his raised victims - Gregory A. Clouter (The Lost Zodiac of the Druids)

The Biblical Isaac - Son of Abraham, There is not much information in the bible about him. His name is apparently a variant of Iesa, the Irish god of light

If Esus was a god of vegetation, once represented by a tree, this would explain why, as the scholiast on Lucan relates, human sacrifices to Esus were suspended from a tree. Esus was worshipped at Paris and at Trèves; a coin with the name Esus was found in England; and personal names like Esugenos, "son of Esus" - J. A. MacCulloch (Religion of the Ancient Celts)

In the Talmud Jesus is Jeschu or Yeschu (from Yeschu bar Panthera). This is where the name Joshua (meaning "savior") comes from. We can see that if the "J" and "Y" are silent the syllable Esu stands out. The Jewish Jeschu or Jesus is, again, none other than the Irish Esu or Esa. The biblical name Isaac has its origin in Isa. Isaac was the son of Sarah and Pharaoh Tuthmosis III - the true father of the twelve tribes of Israel. (See Volume Two.)

The Virgin holds a boy in her arms; his name is Ysu - (Teucros of Babylon, 90 BC)

The monogram used for Jesus in Rome and Greece was the three-lettered "IHS." Scholars know that this was first the symbol of Bacchus (Bacch-esus). However, in Latin the Greek "H" becomes "E." Thus, IHS becomes IES revealing its actual connection to Es, or Esa. Three divinities have claims to be the god whom Caesar calls Dispater (supreme god) - a god with a hammer, a crouching god called Cernunnos, and a god called Esus - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts) Prior to Constantine's Council of Nicea, organized to unify the world's creeds and cement the power of the Roman Church, Iesa was acknowledged throughout Europe. His origins were understood to be in Ireland, and not Judea or Egypt. The ancients of India referred to the British Isles as Britashtan, a word that meant "Seat of Religion." Iesa's aspects were worshipped under various names depending upon the culture and the facet that was being venerated. He was Osiris, Mentu, Horus, Set, Aton, Amun-Ra, Ptah, Serapis, Mithras, Apollo, Dionysus, Orpheus, Zeus, Jupiter, and Sol. He was all of them and yet he was one. This simple fact has been well confounded so that we are compelled to think in terms of vast pantheons of gods morphing out of gods ad infinitum. However, it just was not the quagmire that we have been deviously led to believe by those who imagine themselves so superior because they worship one god.

Dion-ESUS, Orph-ESUS, OR Bacc-ESUS - its Irish all the way. Zeus, the father of Dionysus, had turned himself into a serpent to give him birth, and Dionysus himself was often shown in the form of the goat that links him the Nordic Goths

Returning to the doctrine of the Savior, I have already...given so many instances of belief in such a deity among the pagans - whether he be called "Krishna" or "Mithra" or "Osiris" or "Horus" or "Apollo" or "Hercules: - that it is not necessary to dwell on the subject any further in order to persuade the reader that the doctrine was "in the air" at the time of the advent of Christianity. Even Dionysus, then a prominent figure in the "Mysteries," was called Eleutherios - "The Deliverer." But it may be of interest to trace the same doctrine among the pre-Christian sects of Gnostics. The Gnostics, says Professor Murray, "are still commonly thought of as a body of Christian heretics." In reality there were Gnostic sects scattered over the Hellenistic world before Christianity as well as after...Their Savior, like the Jewish Messiah, was established in men's minds before the Savior of the Christians. "If we look close," says Professor Bousset, "the result emerges with great clearness that the figure of the Redeemer as such did not wait for Christianity to force its way into the religion of Gnosis, but was already present there under various forms." - Edward Carpenter (Pagan and Christian Creeds)

The Essenes were clearly named after Essa. This sect is on record as the first followers of Jesus (also called Joshua - "the Savior") whom they believed was not the official Jewish Messiah but a teacher who lived hundreds of years previously. Bishop Epiphanius referred to them by the name Jesseans and said they were followers of Jesus. They were allegedly a hard core branch of the Nazarene Church that opposed the elite Sadducees and their Jerusalem Temple. However, there is considerable doubt as to whether the Essenes were really Jewish. We suspect they were a sect, like the Stoics, that preserved Druidic precepts. This is the reason why the Vatican sought to delay publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls. In any case, it was as an agent for the high priest of the temple at Jerusalem that Paul tracked down and persecuted Christians. The Sadducees and their agents, however, took their orders and direction from the Roman invaders. Officially, the Gnostics were Gentile Christians and Essenes were allegedly Jewish Christians. Both groups believed that Jesus had lived centuries before the orthodox enclaves were insisting in the bible. And both groups knew that the Christ archetype was not their own creation or concept. It was for these reasons that the hierarchs of the early Church in Rome decided to persecute and eradicate these sects and, in more recent times, tried to ban and sequester their various texts (the Dead Sea Scrolls and Gnostic Gospels, etc). Vatican-appointed priests and agents were on site to monitor every stage of the translation of the apocryphal Dead Sea Scrolls after their discovery in 1947.

An image of Esus as the Carpenter, found beneath the nave at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Esus was known as a healer and a carpenter ages before the time of the biblical Jesus. We find Esus in India as Tvashtar the carpenter god

To verify that Druidic tropes remain in the Christian canon we only have to examine the Book of Isaiah. Christians believe this Old Testament book prophesized the coming of Jesus the Messiah. In Chapter 11, verses 13 to 15, we read the following imagistic words:

And there shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots...

During the Middle Ages the passage was rendered slightly differently. In the Vulgate of the period the passage read:

...a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a flower shall rise up...

Jesus the Messiah is the flower to rise up from the branch or tree of Jesse. Jesse was the Old Testament patriarch of royal lineage. He was the father of King David. This line of descent is known to Christians as the "Tree of Jesse." Of course we understand what is being concealed behind the name of the spurious ancestor and the imagery of the tree. Jesse is a rendition of the Druidic Iesa, of Esa, the first sun god. The image of the "Tree of Jesse" was very popular throughout the medieval period. After the 12th century it was pictorialized in numerous stained glass windows and illuminated manuscripts. In many cases the shoot that rises to heaven from the Earth is held by the Virgin Mary. In all cases, the body or face of Jesus is seen at the top of the tree. The tree was often depicted growing out of the giant body of Jesse who lies on the ground sleeping. These particular images of the reclining Jesse are reminiscent of images that depict the Egyptian Earth god Geb. This is especially true when the artist depicts the tree emerge from Jesse's genital area. Two beautiful versions of the "Tree of Jesse" image can be seen at Chartres Cathedral in Northern France, and in the center of the rose window of the Church of St. Denis in Paris, although the image is to be found in churches all over Europe, as well as in many illustrated bibles.

The Tree of Jesse - images from All Saints Church in Hove, Sussex (dated 1924), and from Torun, Poland (dated 1380 AD) Druidic motifs, such as the vine, tree, cross, and stone, abound in the bible. The concept of sacrifice, death, and renewal, are Druidic in origin. The image of Jesse sleeping reminds us of the Egyptian god Geb. From Geb came the phallic obelisk. From Jesse came the tree bearing the flower Jesus (Esa, or Iesa). We are also reminded of Buddha and the Bodhi Tree, and of the Nordic god-man Odin hanging from the sacred tree.

Jesus - The Star in the West

That Christianity came from Judaism is acknowledged by churchmen, but it never has been truthfully divulged before where Judaism had its origins and home, or who were the Hebrews and the Jews. The term "Hebrew" and "Jew" for deceptive purposes has been conferred upon a people of Aramaic race, and it is a misnomer to call this people - the modern so-called Jews - Conor MacDari (The Bible: An Irish Book)

To the original Druidic church Iesa was a personification of the zodiac. Later, he was considered a personification of the sun.

He was the light of day and also the light of reason. He was the capacity within every man and woman for intellectual and spiritual exaltation. Man was understood to be a light unto himself and a living temple within whom the secrets of all creation existed. Man was a sanctum of all mysteries. As the sun illuminated the planet Earth so did the reason of man illuminate the inner universe. Iesa was the original Anthropos who had ended all mental and emotional conflict. He was the morally hygienic one who had unified all discordant aspects within his four hemispheres - his energetic, emotional, mental, and sensational selves. To achieve this nucleated state nature's ways had to be learned and respected. A man was to know himself by gazing deeply into the mirror of nature, the matrix from which he arose and to which he would return at death.

...All the glories of Nature - the imposing silence of the night; the aroma of the flowers; the pale rays of the moon through the green tufts of the trees; the stars, flowers of fire strewn over the sky; the glow-worms, flowers of fire strewn over the grass - all these have been created to render the Adept worthy of NATURE, at that moment when for the first time she exclaims to Man, "I am yours," - words formed of a divine perfume from the soul, which, breathed forth, ascends to heaven together with the perfume of the flowers - the one moment of his life when he is king, when he is God; the moment which he expiates and pays for with a whole life of bitter regrets. That moment - it is the price of all our miseries - H. P. Blavatsky (Collected Writings, vol. 1)

To the Druids, a man was not separate from the universe or born into it from elsewhere. He was, like the trees, part of nature. He was an embodiment and outgrowth of nature. If a man felt divided from nature he was unwell mentally and could not operate sanely. This was the law of the Druids and of Shaman everywhere. Demented men could be sacrificed to save the rest of the tribe from calamity. All trees are capable of producing sour and rotten fruit and, likewise, civilizations are capable of producing sour and rotten men. Such beings are a hazard to themselves and to everyone around them. The rites of initiation were instigated to make sure that the impure had no chance of attaining positions of power. The removal of these strict telestic rites permitted the mentally and morally toxic to have access to the thrones of the world. Once in command, such types were wont to promote others of their kind and conspire against the pure and noble ones they despise.

Deeply religious, the Celts believed in doing anything possible to insure the smooth running of the universe - Otto Herman Frey (The Celts)

Jesus is said to have been born in Bethlehem, the "house of the day." The Irish word for house is "Both." "Lah" means day in Irish. And as "Hebrew" is just a jargon of Irish, the fraud becomes as "plain as day." The name Christ is added to Jesus and is meant as a title, which is to indicate that spiritual perfection or the Messianic state has been attained - Conor MacDari

The Adoration, by Domenico Ghirlandaio. This nativity scene depicts the three so-called "Shepherds." Other gospels refer to them as kings. This was the mythmongers' way of subtly revealing the identity of the men "visiting" Jesus. The "Shepherd Kings" were the Hyksos or Atonists of Egypt. (See Volume Two for more on this). In the nativity scene of artist Filippo Lippi we actually see a man standing upon a hill pointing straight up to the sky. In another painting from the period we see a friar with his arms crossed over his breast in a manner identical to Egyptian kings.

The idea of three wise men or kings is astrological and Druidic in origin. The four animals depicted around the Christ represent the four cardinal signs of the zodiac. The three wise men, shepherds, or kings, represent the constellation of Orion through which the soul of "great kings" was believed to incarnate and then depart. The figure of the Virgin Mary represents the night sky. This particular artist suggests the round of the zodiac by the circular hem of the Madonna's cloak. Christ is the sun born into the sign of Virgo, the Virgin. Joseph, the "Carpenter" looks up toward the heavens. He is contemplating the signs, and represents the ancient gnosis suppressed by the Church of Rome. In Egyptian the word for "carpenter" was Setepenre. This word was one of the titles for a pharaoh. Jesus was indeed of a pharaonic bloodline, as the painting figuratively connotes. The man standing at the back right carrying the lamb represents the Cult of Atonists who observed the sun's move from the sign of Taurus into Aries. The ass or donkey is still used as a symbol today in US politics. The ass represents the god Set and the Hyksos Kings of Lower Egypt. The bull represents the Amenists of Upper Egypt, as well as the Irish Druids. The Roman columns emphasize Jesus' Roman ancestry.

The Disciples of Horus

The land we now call Egypt was colonized...and was originally peopled by fair Celts from the shores of Britain. This was the Exodus of the Aryans, some of whom returned later to their primeval homes - Comyns Beaumont (Riddle of Pre-Historic Britain)

Horus (from Har, Hor, or Heru) - god of the sun, primarily associated with Southern Egypt and with the ancient city of Hierakonpolis ("City of the Hawk" or "Hawks"). In the earlier dynastic era he was referred to as "The Distant One." The letter "H" was used as "the" and therefore Hari would really have been "The Ari." Horus was "He of the Ari" Nekhen (Hierakonpolis, Hieraconpolis, or Hieracompolis) was the religious and political capital of Upper Egypt at the end of the Predynastic period…and probably also during the Early Dynastic Period…It was the center of the cult of the hawk god Horus of Nekhen, which raised in this city one of the most ancient temples in Egypt, and it retained its importance as the cult center of the divine patron of the kings long after it had otherwise declined. The original settlement on the site dates from Naqada I or the late Badarian. At its height from about 3400 BC it had at least 5,000 and possibly as many as 10,000 inhabitants…The ruins of the city were originally excavated towards the end of the 19th century by the English archeologists James E. Quibell and F.W. Green. In the "principal deposit" of the temple of Nekhen they found important ceremonial Protodynastic artifacts such as the Narmer Palette and the famous macehead bearing the name of King Scorpion - (Wikipeda Online Encyclopedia)

Classical archaeologists are in agreement that ancient migrations did take place in prehistoric times, although they often tend to be rather hazy about the dates and the countries involved - Ralph Ellis (Jesus: Last of the Pharaohs) We learn from official sources (Christian, Judaic, and other) that the symbols found throughout Western countries, on flags and state regalia, etc, come from spurious migrating "Semitic" tribes. We are told that the symbolism originates with these tribes and that it goes back to the dawn of time. But we also know what "dawn of time" means officially. We know that it refers to the period between 7,000 and 11,000 years ago with the age that had its beginnings in the Levant (Middle-East). As we are slowly beginning to realize, these dates are not the true beginning of mankind's cultural and technical history. Herodotus himself is on record as having been told by contemporary Egyptian priests that their written records went back no less than 12,000 years. Eusebius, the early Christian bishop of Alexandria, calculated Manetho's recorded history as taking Egypt's civilization back 35,525 years...Other records (both cultural and historical) were far more ancient still - John Gordon (Egypt: Child of Atlantis) The perceptive researcher realizes that there were extremely advanced civilizations in existence thousands of years previous to these untenable official dates. Clearly, we are not meant to look back too far, and are not meant to believe in ante-diluvian civilizations. But what happens if we do look back this far? What happens if we do find evidence that proves that man was "civilized" aeons before 11,000 years ago? Certainly, it does not take a lot of investigating or proof to understand that great civilizations of the world could not just blossom into existence with all kinds of fully-fledged customs, idioms, and techniques, but with no antecedent stages that must have existed. Particularly, in the case of predynastic Egypt, we marvel at the construction of the great pyramid, the Osirieon, and temples of Karnak and Luxor, etc, but cannot account for the technology that built them. Author, and expert on Egypt, Ralph Ellis clarifies the contentious but revealing issue for us:

...the early craftsmanship and constructions from the Old Kingdom are the finest, and the quality of and dimensions of each monument reduces then on throughout the following millennia...there were a number of magnificent monuments that were made during mankind's early megalithic era. These include monuments as diverse as Stonehenge and Avebury in England, Teotihuacan in Mexico, Chou-Chou in Manchuria, Hagar Qim in Malta, Baalbek in Lebanon, Ephyra in Greece, Cuzco in Peru, Giza in Egypt, and the Osireion at Abydos. Despite the geographic diversity of these monuments, they all share some common features - they were built in the prehistoric era; they were all associated with religious centers; they were all made from megalithic architecture; they were mostly exquisitely carved and manufactured (often bafflingly so); and last but certainly not least, all of these monuments were utterly devoid of inscription...The granite megaliths carved into a giant jigsaw puzzle at Cuzco, and the 1,000 tonne bricks that were being used at Baalbek, would stretch any modern stone mason's imagination and skills to their limits....these temples were not dedicated to any one particular monarch, nor to any one particular god. They were, instead, dedicated to the observation and the study of the Universe - (Eden in Egypt)

Although equally magnificent temples and megaliths exist in Ireland, Scandinavia, North America, and Mexico, although entire lost cities are found beneath the oceans, and although the vast majority of words, place names, and personal names in the bible, are of Irish origin we would rather live with mysteries and unsolvable conundrums than face the actual truth. In almost every case where a major site exists, or where a great civilization existed, we find the same refrain from the modern inhabitants. Either we are told that "godlike strangers" erected the sites, or that technically superior semi-divine ancestors, of whom we now suspiciously find no trace, did it. Archaeologists are more than lax to explain who these foreigners or mysterious ancestors were. The world over, legends affirm that indigenous forebears were not the builders, astronomers, and healers. Investigators have habitually looked to every country except Ireland for their answers. It is almost comical to say that we can be certain that Ireland played a seminal role merely because the laws of exclusion are in its favor. All other countries have been studied and can be struck off as originators of civilization. So dare we now, at long last, face the truth that has lain in plain sight for so long? Dare we examine the evidence for the Irish origins of civilization and have done with the damnable conundrums?

...the ancient Egyptians were fully aware of the 25,920-year cycle of the precession of the equinoxes. The idea, however, that a nomadic group of hunter-gatherers about 5,000 to 6,000 years ago should suddenly within the space of a few hundred years (or even a millennium), from merely watching the night sky but without using any instrumentation, be able to quickly develop the requisite mathematical and scientific knowledge to verify such a hypothesis is patently ludicrous - John Gordon (Egypt: Child of Atlantis)

One of the most important finds within the land of Egypt occurred when the Egyptologist and archaeologist Professor Walter B. Emery (1903-1971) was excavating tombs at the necropolis of Saqqara, one of the oldest cities in the land. There Professor Emery discovered men with blond hair and fair complexions. These individuals were revered and honored by the Egyptians as specially endowed elite. Authors Vittorio Di Cesare and Adriano Forgione write about Emery's enigmatic discoveries in their article Malta: Skulls of the Mother Goddess:

...the famous Egyptologist, author of "Archaic Egypt"...discovered the remains of individuals who lived in the pre-dynastic epoch. These presented a dolichocephalous skull, larger than that of the local ethnic group, fair hair and a taller, heavier build. Emery declared that this stock wasn't indigenous to Egypt but had performed an important sacerdotal and governmental role in this country. This race kept its distance from the common people, blending only with the aristocratic classes and the scholar associated them with the Shemsu Hor, the "disciples of Horus"...The Shemsu Hor are recognized as the dominant sacerdotal caste in pre-dynastic Egypt (until approximately 3000 B.C.), being mentioned in the Turin papyrus and the list of the kings of Abydos.

Professor Emery wrote of his finds in his book, Archaic Egypt: Culture and Civilization in Egypt Five Thousand Years Ago:

Towards the end of the IV millennium B.C. the people known as the Disciples of Horus appear as a highly dominant aristocracy that governed entire Egypt. The theory of the existence of this race is supported by the discovery in the pre-dynastic tombs, in the northern part of Higher Egypt, of the anatomical remains of individuals with bigger skulls and builds than the native population, with so much difference to exclude any hypothetical common racial strain. The fusion of the two races must have come about in ages that concurred, more or less, with the unification of the two Egyptian Kingdoms...The racial origin of these invaders is not known and the route they took in their penetration of Egypt is equally obscure

...we find that at the dawn of the historic period Egypt was divided into the two rival kingdoms of the North and the South, both ruled by a royal house and aristocracy of the same race and both known traditionally as the "Followers of Horus" - the demigods of Manetho's history

According to the ancient tablets, known as The History of Thoth: The Atlantean, the Shemsu Hor (or Disciples of Horus), were a race of enlighteners who dwelt on ten pre-diluvian islands. One of their magi was the god Thoth, known by the Greeks as Hermes, and by the Romans as Mercury:

Great were my people in the ancient days, great beyond the conception of the little people now around me; knowing the wisdom of old, seeking far within the heart of infinity knowledge that belonged to Earth's youth. Wise were we with the wisdom of the Children of Light who dwelt among us. Strong were we with the power drawn from the eternal fire. And of all these, greatest among the children of men was my father, Thoth, keeper of the great temple, link between the Children of Light who dwelt within the temple and the races of men who inhabited the ten islands.

The term shemsu derives, most probably, from the Akkadian shamash meaning "serpent." The word is very like the Irish Shamus or Seamus, or English James. We believe the term Hor (for Horus the falcon or hawk-headed god of the sun) represented the Ari or Aryans. The letter "H" was often used in the same way as "The" or as "Le" in French. Therefore, Har or Harri was "The Ari." The eagle or hawk was the symbol of the sun and of the enlightened ones of old. As a symbol, it primarily and originally signified spiritual status. (The name Harris or Harrison, from har, meant "hawk" or "Son of the Hawk"). Expert on Egypt Ralph Ellis has found evidence supporting the idea that the Giza Plateau and its three great pyramids were perpetually protected by a special guard known as the Horites. These Horites, although disparaged in the bible, are believed to be associated with the mysterious city of Petra located near Mount Seir. Petra dates from a relatively late period but was probably built upon a more ancient site. Nearby are sophisticated irrigation systems and a strange serpent mound identical to those found in France and Britain. There can be little doubt that the Horites were descended from the ancient Shemsu Hor, the Disciples of Horus.

The word root Har signified the hawk, and the god Horus. The term is still employed today. A good example is the Air Force jet known as the "Harrier." The first version of the war plane was even known as the "Hawker."

As said, the root har or hor refers to Horus and the sun. Ellis maintains that this mysterious sect of specially appointed guards was despised by the Hyksos people who were none other than the Israelites of the bible (see Volume Two). He also maintains that one of the ancient names for Great Pyramid was Seir, a word that appears to connote the West (see Sera, Asur, Aser, Osiris, Abu Sir, and Syria, etc). If Mr. Ellis' translations are correct, as we believe them to be, then could not Mt. Horeb of the bible refer to the pyramids of the desert rather than to some other ill-defined and spuriously remote location? Was the pyramid the mountain of light or, more correctly, the mountain of the men of light?

In the year 1907, the Egyptian government decided to raise the level of the great Aswan Dam, in Southern Egypt, by seven meters. The project meant the destruction, by flooding, of acres of land containing many burial grounds and tombs. A hurried examination of the bodies from some Nubian tombs was made by Sir Grafton Elliot Smith who soon discovered, to his amazement, that the skulls and bones of the bodies under examination were different from those of the inhabitants of both Nubia and Egypt, even though there were Egyptian characteristics to the physiognomy. In his book The Royal Mummies, published in 1912, Smith wrote of his strange alien finds:

The alien people present many striking features of contrast which sharply differentiate them from the population of Egypt and Nubia. In height they do not differ in any marked degree, but their crania are shorter and considerably broader than those of the indigenous people. The nose is much narrower, more prominent and high-bridged than that of the Egyptian or Nubian, and in comparison with the latter, the nasal spine is much more prominent.

Nobody knows just who these blue-eyed, fair-skinned people were, or even where they came from...Anthropologically, they were termed Caucasians - Gerald O'Farrell (The Tutankhamun Deception)

These people, Elliot Smith concluded, were more than intelligent enough to accomplish the amazing building feats that the modern world marvels at on the banks of the Nile - ibid

Queen Nefertiti - her daughter is buried in Ireland

We believe that the decision to flood the sacred Nubian plains of the Northern Sudan was a clever ploy to conceal the burial grounds of the Western peoples who had influenced Egyptian culture. In ancient times Nubia was an independent region considered sacred by the Egyptians who thought of it as the realm of the gods. The Nile flowed down through the mountains of Nubia and so anyone buried in that area, by request or by tradition, were very esteemed. The Caucasian features described by Sir Elliot Smith are to be seen on the face of Queen Nefertiti, her sister Mutnodjmet (wife of Pharaoh Heremheb), and her daughter Meritaten (Scota). Indeed, there is little doubt in our minds that Nefertiti and her family were of Irish ancestry. This explains why Scota, her eldest daughter, traveled to Ireland by way of Spain after the fall of Akhenaton's corrupt dynasty and why her grave was found, not in Egypt, but in Ireland's County Kerry.

When modern academics composed reference books about early Egyptian history, they scrupulously avoided mention of the impressive body of ancient evidence attesting to the celestial rulers of predynastic Egypt - Tony Bushby (The Secret in the Bible)

The twentieth prayer of the 141st chapter of the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, is dedicated "to the Goddess greatly beloved, with red hair" - E. A. W. Budge (The Book of the Dead)

The predynastic Egyptians, that is to say, that stratum of them which was indigenous to North Africa, belonged to a white or light-skinned race with fair hair, who in many particulars resembled the Libyans, who in later historical times lived very near the western bank of the Nile - E. A. W. Budge (Egypt in the Neolithic and Archaic Periods)

It is singular to find a white race spoken of in the ancient monuments. Dr. Brugsch, the learned German, notices the word Tam-hou or white men. As it occurs on tablets dated 2,500 years before Christ, it is puzzling to indicate the people. Brugsch traces them to Libya. Champollion recognized the Tamh’ou a type of European ancestry. M. Deveria remarks upon hieroglyphics recording the fact that Horus, the god, leading and guiding a white race. As there are still many Celtic monuments in the north of Africa, over many hundreds of miles, he contends for the existence of an original Celtic people in Egypt, or, in modern language, tat the Welsh and Irish were once in Egypt – James Bonwick (Egyptian Belief and Modern Thought, 1878)

Among the ancient crania from the Thebaid in the collection in the Department of Human Anatomy at Oxford, there are specimens which must unhesitatingly be considered to be those of Nordic type - L. H. Dudley Buxton (The Peoples of Asia)

Ancient Egypt, for instance, was essentially a penetration of Caucasoid racial elements into Africa - Robert Gayre (Miscellaneous Racial Studies)

The mummy was mostly unwrapped and on its back. Strands of reddish-blond hair lay on the floor beneath the bald head - Donald P. Ryan (description of find, by excavator of the tomb of Queen Hatshepsut)

There was a queen Nitocris, braver than all the men of her time, the most beautiful of all the women, blond-haired with rosy cheeks. By her, it is said, the third pyramid was reared, with the aspect of a mountain - Manetho (third century Greco-Egyptian historian's description of 6th Dynasty queen Nitocris)

According to the Graeco-Roman authors Pliny the Elder, Strabo and Diodorus Siculus, the Third Pyramid was built by a woman named Rhodopis. When translated from the original Greek, her name means "rosy-cheeked" - Mary Sutherland

The first pharaoh of the first dynasty of Egypt, and founder of the great city of Memphis, King Menes is buried in Northern Ireland. Also known as Aha Men, and as Hor Aha ("Fighting Hawk"), king Menes was most likely a prestigious member of Egypt’s first civilization, the remnants of which were discovered by Professor Walter Emery, and founded by the Disciples of Horus the sun god.  In one ancient text, from his empty "tomb" discovered by Sir Flinders Petrie at Abydos in 1900, Menes is referred to as "King Manash...of the Sun Hawk Race."

It is not surprising, therefore, that he should have wished to travel to Ireland, the original homeland of his ancestors. Most pathetically tragic of all perhaps is the discovery that the hitherto unread long record inscribed on the great Ebony Label found in the "tomb" of Menes at Abydos in Upper Egypt, and written in the Sumerian script and language of his time, narrates in graphic and circumstantial detail how this great admiral and "world emperor" in his old age on "a voyage of exploration with his fleet" made the complete course to "The Furthest West Sunset Land in the Western Ocean" and there met his tragic death; and it states that his "tomb" in Egypt remained empty, and was merely a cenotaph...And the place-name of the island in the Far Western Ocean, which appears to read "Urani" suggests the place of his death and real tomb as "Erin" or Ireland - L. A. Waddell (Makers of Civilization in Race and History, 1929)

An Egyptian woman with apparently Caucasian (Indo-European) ancestry

The King Manash...of the Sunset (or Upper or Western) Waters and of their Lands and Oceans, The Ruler...of the Sun Hawk race, The Pharaoh, the deceased, the Commander-in-Chief of Ships....made the complete course to the End of the Sunset Land, going in ships. He completed the inspection of the Western Lands. He built there and holding (or possession) in Urani Land. At the Lake of the Peak, Fate pierced him by a hornet (or wasp)...This bored tablet set up of hanging wood is dedicated to his memory - (From the Funerary Label of King Menes. Translated by Professor L. A. Waddell)

The final resting place of Menes was discovered by Professor Waddell at Knockmany (Knock Menes) in the Southern part of County Tyrone not far from Lough Erne. Inscriptions found on boulder stones at the site were in Sumerian script and were identical to those found at Menes' empty Egyptian tomb site. Professor Waddell wrote of his unique and momentous finds: In particular the photograph of one of the stones contains the same monogram of the name "Urani," and is written by the same signs as on the ebony label, but on a larger scale; and the realistic pictograph of the animal which caused the death of Menes in Urani represented it as a hornet - (Makers of Civilization in Race and History) ...I have demonstrated elsewhere that representations of this "End of the Sunset Land" occur in Ireland, engraved on prehistoric cup-marked stones at New Grange on the Boyne River, near Drogheda, which are essentially replicas of the same pictograms as in the Early Sumerian and Hittite sacred seals - L. A. Waddell (Egyptian Civilization: Its Sumerian Origins and true Chronology)

Queen and Pharaoh Hatshepsut, of the 18th dynasty

King Menes of Sumeria and Egypt is referred to in the Hindu Puranas as Asa Manj - "the Far Shooter," a title that reminds us of the biblical Saul and David, and also of the Irish sun god Lugh "the Long Arm," wielder of the great lance. The term Asa meant "strong" or "valiant." In the Hindu Mahabharata Menes is Manasyu, whose title was Prabhu.

This term comes from prahu or parahu, or paraa, the possible origin of pharaoh. The Hindi word meant "chief" or "father." Menes' identification with the hawk god Horus is suggestive since Horus was often referred to as the "blue-eyed" god. Tea Tephi, an Egyptian queen, lies near Tara, a location some believe to be named after her. The name Tara is believed to derive from Temair or Temor meaning "mound of Tea." However, it probably derives from T-Ari, after Ari or Eri, the supreme goddess of the Druids. Mummified Barbary apes have been discovered at Navan in Ireland and entries concerning places in Ireland have been found in Egyptian papyri. British-Israelites declare the tomb of the prophet Jeremiah to be in Ireland, at Lough Crew in County Meath, and believe him to have brought to Tara the coronation stone ("Stone of Fal") upon which Irish chieftains were crowned. However, when anecdotes such as this are broached, scholars are quick to say that there "may have been" commerce between Egypt, Phoenicia, and Ireland after all. The majority of this commerce is dated to between 600 BC and 700 AD. Jeremiah fled thither after the siege of Jerusalem, carrying away the treasures of the temple; such as the ark, the sceptre of David, the Urim and Thummim, and others. Some persons at this day affect to believe that in the Hill of Tara might yet be found these memorials of Judaism, and hope to recover thence David's harp, carried to Ireland by Jeremiah and the Princess Scota, daughter of Pharaoh - James Bonwick (Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions, 1894)

A red-haired corpse was found dating from the pre-dynastic period, 3,300 BC, nick-named "Ginger." One of Horus' titles was "Horus of the blue eyes" (E. A. W. Budge)

Is it really far-fetched to suppose Egyptian theology, particularly that known in Theban Upper Egypt, to be Irish in origin? We do not think so. As Barry Fell and others have shown, the Irish traveled to America long before other groups, and were plying their trade and building settlements there hundreds of years before the arrival of Columbus.

After a close study of Egyptian relics and paintings in museums and private collections, and after a perusal of the works of leading Egyptologists and excavators, researcher Mary Sutherland, who was unable to account for what she discovered, managed to catalog a few key examples concerning the anomaly of the Western European presence in the land of the Nile:

Only the mummies of a very few pharaohs have survived to the 20th century, but a large proportion of these are blond

Grafton Smith mentions the distinct red hair of the 18th dynasty mummy Henutmehet

The Egyptians have left us many paintings and statues of blonds and redheads. Amenhotep III's tomb painting shows him as having light red hair. Also, his features are quite Caucasian

A farm scene from around 2000 B.C., in the tomb of the nobleman Meketre shows a redhead

The tomb of Menna (18th Dynasty) at Western Thebes shows blond girls

The god Horus is usually depicted as white. He is very white in the Book of the Dead, of Lady Cheritwebeshet (21st dynasty), found in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo

The eye of Horus, the so-called "Wedjat Eye," is always blue

The Greek author Plutarch, in the 22nd chapter of his De Iside et Osiride, states that the Egyptians thought Horus to be fair-skinned, and the god Seth to be of a ruddy complexion

The mummies of Rameses II and Prince Yuaa have fine silky yellow hair. The mummy of another pharaoh, Thothmes II, has light chestnut-colored hair. Microscopic examinations showed that the hair roots contained natural red pigments and that during his younger days, Rameses II had been a redhead

A very striking painting of a yellow-haired man hunting from a chariot can be found in the tomb of Userhet, Royal Scribe of Amenophis II. The yellow-haired man is Userhet. The same tomb has paintings of blond soldiers

The tomb of Menna also has a wall painting showing a blond man supervising two dark-haired workers scooping grain.

Time-Life books put out a volume called Rameses II, the Great. It has a good picture of the blond mummy of Rameses II. Another picture can be found in the book X-Raying the Pharaohs...the picture on the jacket cover...shows his yellow hair

The funerary stele (inscribed stone slab) of priest Remi clearly shows him as having red hair

A painting of the mother of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV (18th Dynasty), reveals that she had blond hair, blue eyes, and a rosy complexion

Princess Ranofri, a daughter of Pharaoh Tuthmosis III (18th dynasty), is depicted as a blond in a wall painting that was recorded in the 19th century, by the Italian Egyptologist Ippolito Rosellini

In 1929 archaeologists discovered the mummy of fifty year-old Queen Meryet-Amun (another daughter of Tuthmosis III); the mummy has wavy, light-brown hair

Paintings of blonds and redheads have been found among the tombs at Thebes

Amenhotep III looks northern European in his statue

A blond woman was painted at the tomb of Djeser-ka-ra-seneb in Thebes

A painting at the tomb of Meresankh III at Giza, from about 2485 B.C., shows white skin and red hair

Paintings of people with red hair and blue eyes were found at the tomb of Bagt in Beni Hassan. Many other tombs at Beni Hassan have paintings of individuals with blond and red hair as well as blue eyes

An article in a leading British anthropological journal states that many mummies have dark reddish-brown hair.  Professor Vacher De Lapouge described a blond mummy found at Al Amrah, which he says has the face and skull measurements of a typical Gaul or Saxon

The book History of Egyptian Mummies mentions a mummy with reddish-brown hair

A blond mummy was found at Kawamil along with many chestnut-colored ones

The very first pharaoh, Narmer (also known as Menes), appears to be very Caucasian

The mummy of a young Amarna prince, which was discovered in an annex of the tomb of Amenhotep II, sports a very long, luxuriant side-lock of hair...Strangely enough, this young prince was not only "hairy," but his hair was also a ruddy-brown color - Ralph Ellis (Tempest and Exodus)

...many of the officials, courtiers, and priests, representing the upper class of Egyptian society but not the royalty, looked strikingly like modern Europeans, especially long-headed ones - Professor Carleton Coon (The Races of Europe)

Pharaoh Userkaf - (2465-2458 BCE) was an important king of the 5th dynasty. His title was "His Soul is Strong" His features are distinctly Caucasian. Notably, Userkaf was the first king of Egypt to begin the building of solar temples to the god Ra, The most striking are at Saqqara and Abu Sir. Userkaf's origins are considered uncertain. He may have been the son of the high priest of Memphis or even of Heliopolis where some of the grandest solar temples are. Egyptian artwork and sculpture reached a peak during his regency

Pharaoh Khefren (Khafra) - of the fourth dynasty (2650-2632 BC). He was the successor of Khufu who is believed to have been the pharaoh who commissioned the building of the great pyramid at Giza. Khefren's features are clearly not African but Caucasian

Profile of Khefren - His was the face on the Egyptian sphinx that stands upon the Giza Plateau. We believe the exquisite sculpture was deliberately defaced to conceal the pharaoh's aquiline Caucasian features. A solar cult dignitary, his title was "He who appears like Ra."

Pharaoh Menkaure - of the early fourth dynasty. Beside him stands an unnamed queen. Note the couple's Western features.

Queen Kiya, of the 18th dynasty. Wife of Akhenaton, and possibly also of Pharaoh Heremheb. Her thin lips and aquiline appearance suggest that she was of Caucasian racial type.

Visage of queen Kiya. Her ancestry is considered a "mystery." She was Akhenaton's favorite wife, and most likely the mother of Tutankhamun. Her name Kiyah is close to the Hebrew Khiyah, meaning life. When spelt as Khavah the name gives the biblical "Eve."

Ahmose I - first pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, and conqueror of the Hyksos. His features are conspicuously Caucasian

Ahmose Nefertari - the wife of Ahmose I. She is shown with black skin for symbolic reasons and not because she was naturally black. The color was the symbol of Egypt or Khem the "black land." The color symbolized the fertility and antiquity of the land. Black was also the color associated with Amen, the chief god worshipped by the pharaohs of this era. Amun or Amen was the hidden or invisible one. Nefertari was entitled "Second Prophet of Amen." The idea of blackness was adopted by the masons. One of the pillars of the temple of Solomon (Sol Amen) was black in color. Nefertari's name contains the term tari, which is distinctly Irish.

To this very day Christians end prayers with the word Amen. This word is Egyptian for sure, and it referred to the most ancient sun god Amen Ra, primarily worshipped at Thebes. Interestingly, however, the word Amen (from Amentet) meant "Western," or "Western side."

It also refers to the "shadow land" or "underworld," that is to the realms of the dead. This symbolism arose not only from the fact that the sun perceptibly sank into darkness in the West but from the racial memories of what had occurred in the North-Western lands that had once been veritable wastelands of death and decay. So, the very name of the chief solar god of Egypt actually signified the ancestral lands of the Western hemisphere. The hieroglyphic for Amen was a straight vertical pole (like the capital letter "I") topped with a small sun disk with rays. This revealing hieroglyphic of Amen was also known as men, meaning "monument," "mountain," or simply "block of stone."

We suggest that this glyph referred to the ancestral homelands in the West that housed the great and distinctive megalithic temples of stone that stood vertically in the way described by the Egyptian Amen hieroglyphic. As scholars of Celtic history will be quick to discern, the image of the sun rising above a tall ithyphallic stone perfectly describes the spectacle occurring to this day at many solar temples in England and Ireland, specifically at Stonehenge and Newgrange.

At Stonehenge the sun rises above the famous "heel" stone. The word heel comes from hele or helios, meaning sun. The hieroglyphic expressed that Amen, the sun-god, and his priesthood, and worship originated in Western lands. That these lands were the "end place," where the sun god rested every evening was the reason why prayers ended with the word Amen, to signify termination. One of the words for prayer was "orison," that clearly resembles "horizon." Again, the reference is to both geography and Astro-Theology.

That the Amen hieroglyphic should connote the ancient Megalithic sun temples of England and Ireland is not so strange once it is realized that Stonehenge and other important British sites have conclusively been shown to be geometrically and geomantically aligned to the great pyramid at Giza. We surmise that certain prime Megalithic sites of Britain are also aligned with Egyptian temples, and that the secret theosophy of Irish Druidism was central to the theology of the Theban Amenists, as well as to the sun priests of Lower Egypt. The Egyptians simply duplicated the solar symbolism and geometric principles of the Western Megaliths with their great pyramid. Amen, the sun, rose above their "mountain" of stone at Giza in the same way as it did in the original Western homelands of Amen.

• The reader who wishes to learn more about the geometric connections between Stonehenge and the great pyramid of Egypt is directed to the works of Gerald S. Hawkins, Norman Lockyer, John F. Mitchell, and Bonnie Gaunt.

Osiris enthroned, and riding through the underworld on his solar boat. Osiris was the god of the earth and of the dead. He represented the natural cycles of birth and death. His "dismemberment" recalled the cataclysms and paroxysms that had visited the world and particularly the North-Western Hemisphere. The root of his name, sir, meant the "West." Indeed, one name for Osiris was Wesir, which is remarkably close the present spelling for the word West. It is our belief that the entire cult of Osiris was transported to Egypt from Britain. Wesir (Osiris) is known to have replaced Khentamentiu whose name meant "Foremost of the Westerners." As Isis (Ast) represented the East, so did her husband (Asir) represent the West. Scholars accept without question that the Greeks and Romans fused several deities together to form individual members of their own pantheons. Serapis, Dionysus, Mithras, and even Zeus, were composites of archaic Egyptian and Sumerian gods. The Egyptians were not above the same plagiarization. Many of their gods and goddesses were fusions of more ancient figures. This is particularly true of Hathor, Ptah, Osiris, and Horus. Scholars readily accept that the Greeks and Romans borrowed their gods from Egypt. They are, however, not as receptive to the idea that the Egyptians had done something similar. The Western origins of Egyptian cultural elements is not to be broached or considered. Osiris on his boat gives us the visual impression that this god was indeed from beyond the sea, He frequented the "Underworld" and that was not, as we are meant to believe, merely a conceptual realm. It was a physical region. It was the ancestral lands of the North-West ruined by natural upheaval. It was the land of the setting sun, of darkness and death, into which the sun (Osiris) retired (or returned) at day's end. The enemy of Osiris and his son Horus was the serpentine Typhon. This is where we get the word Typhoon. The serpent Typhon, or Apophis, was a figurative analog for the destructive force of nature. Osiris traveled West every night to sacrificially enter into combat with the evil serpent and ensure that such incomprehensible cataclysm should never reoccur. This fact is further reinforced when we remember that the main symbol of Osiris was the Djed Pillar. The fallen column is shown being ritually reset in its vertical position. This rite of lifting the pillar of Osiris into upright position encapsulated the same idea of which we speak. It represented the restoration of order and stability after a time of worldwide calamity. (See the chapter on Comyns Beaumont for more on this subject). Osiris was associated, and even fused, with the Old Kingdom god Seker (or Sokar). Seker was depicted as a mummified deity, falcon or hawk-headed, and with green skin that represented rebirth. Of course, this green coloring parallels the Irish Herne or Cernunnos, god of nature. Seker was often shown hovering on wings above the body of the deceased. He was, therefore, the basis of the Christian Holy Spirit.

Anubis - one of the oldest gods of Egypt and closely associated with Osiris and Horus. Some traditions have him as the brother of Horus and son of Nephthys the sister of Isis. He was largely based on the most ancient Jackal-headed god known as Khenta-Mentiu, worshipped in Upper Egyptian cities such as Abydos and Saqqara. Suggestively, this name means "Foremost of the Westerners." Mentiu or Mentu was a hawk-headed god thought to have been the early precusor of Horus. His title was the "Nomad," which implies a distant god of foreign origin. We conclude that many of Egypt's predynastic gods had Western origins. Egyptians understood this Anubis as lord of the Western lands and hemisphere. This also meant he was the ruler of the dead. Egyptians associated the Underworld with the lands beyond the Western horizon ("Zone of Horus"), not only because the sun set there but because of the terrible ruin that had been suffered by the lands of the North-West.

Those who still find it impossible, or far-fetched, to suppose that Egyptian religion and culture was influenced by foreigners from Western lands should bear in mind that historians have already accepted that Western Indo-Europeans (or Aryans) contributed cultural elements to Northern India. They should bear in mind that the Moslems of Persia and Yemen brought to India highly sophisticated cultural elements as they established their Mughal dynasty, and that Buddhism, born in India, moved Eastward to dramatically influence and enrich Chinese culture. They had best remember the fact that during the early centuries of the Christian era, up until the Middle Ages, Culdean monks traveled throughout Europe from Ireland in their capacity as educators of nobility. Yes, Marco Polo could travel to China, as all agree he did. Abaris could make his way from Ireland to the Athenian school of Pythagoras, and Apollonius of Tyana could travel to India to locate the schools and ashrams of the Brahmins, and the ancient Irish "Scots" could travel Eastward and settle in Scotland giving that country its distinctive name. Such cases are not doubted. But bring up the question of traversal in the opposite direction and one is met with a wall of resistance as if one has contradicted or challenged one of society's most inviolable taboos.

It has taken centuries for academia to begrudgingly entertain even this simple provable idea although, ultimately, it is still tantamount to academic heresy to pronounce Egypt to be the cradle of civilization and the originator of Christian theology. Nonetheless, academics will sooner muse over and ratify commerce from East to West than it will endorse traversal from West to East. Indeed, this rarer kind of speculation, asserted first by Comyns Beaumont, Anna Wilkes, and Conor Mac Dari, is quite taboo. Regardless, the reason why pharaohs and pharaohs' daughters are found interned in the far off land of Ireland is because Ireland was an ancestral homeland to which they were returning. It was from there that their forefathers had come bearing the knowledge that enabled Egypt's fine civilization to form and which initiated the construction of the Great Pyramid and Sphinx. No other agency, not even an Egyptian one, can rationally claim responsibility for their construction.

These great edifices stand unclaimed. The world endures a mystery concerning their origins and marvels at their majesty. But again, we submit that the mystery exists in lieu of the truth that should be known had it not been suppressed. The claimant now stands in the shadows of history rather than in the spotlight. Men have been conditioned to look for answers in the wrong places. When we look to the right places and to the right history, we will have our answers, but not before.

The Druidical religion prevailed not only in Britain, but likewise all over the East - Edward Vaughan Kenealy (Book of God)

The Chaldeans

The King commanded to call the magicians, the sorcerers and the Chaldeans - (Daniel 2:2)

Another group of adepts who can be termed "Aryans" were the Bronze Age people known as the Chaldeans. Unquestionably connected to the Irish, and perhaps even from Ireland, the "Babylonian" Chaldeans were expert at manufacturing iron. The bible refers to their land as "Ur of the Chaldees." Ur is a variant of Hur or H'ur, from Horus. Officially, Ur of the Chaldeans was a province within Babylon during the 11th dynasty (600 BC), but close examination reveals it had a much older history. As Conor MacDari and Anna Wilkes have shown, Chaldea did not originally refer to an Oriental locality but to an Occidental one. In Ireland the Chaldeans were the Kaltach meaning "Stargazers" or "Astrologers." The word chaldea derives from the Irish Calneh meaning "fire." The syllable cal appears in British place-names such as Calne in Wiltshire, and Caledonia in Scotland, named after a supposedly "Celtic" tribe.

Probably the purest system to us is that which may yet be derived from Chaldean sources. This sacerdotal caste were the most perfect in their astral conceptions and complete in their symbolic system of recording, and if the great work found in King Sargon's library in seventy tablets is ever translated, it will prove of priceless value to the student of these weird, but sublime, astrological mysteries - Thomas H. Burgoyne (The Light of Egypt)

The syllable chals gives cal, ceal, or ceol, that refer to the "heavens." We derive our English word ceiling from these. We also derive the word magician from the Chaldean "Magussaeans" who were renowned astrologers and sages. Of these Elders, the author John E. Remsberg wrote:

In Chaldea, one of the principal sources of Judaism and Christianity, the worship of the stars prevailed - (The Christ)

The Chaldean Mysteries can be traced up to the days of Semiramis, who lived only a few centuries after the flood - Rev Alexander Hislop (The Two Babylons, 1853)

Of all the post-diluvian languages the Chaldaic has the fairest claim to antiquity. Abraham was called from Ur of Chaldees, and must have carried the language with him. The Hebrew is, therefore, only a dialect of the Chaldaic. That the Celtic is a dialect of the same is highly probable - Huddlestone

Pompey, Crassus and Caesar all consulted the Chaldeans, to be told what the planets revealed of their fortunes - Alvin Boyd Kuhn (Shadow of the Third Century)

They profess to have great knowledge of the motions of the heavens and the stars - Pomponius Mela

The language of these Chaldeans, said to be practically the same as Akkadian, Assyrian and Babylonian, is known to have pre-dated Aramaic, the language of the bible. The Chaldeans conquered the Assyrians and took from them the thrones of Babylon in approximately 900 BC. The Assyrians had held Babylon for centuries. The word Assyria contains the syllable syr that, like sir or seir, connotes the West. Moreover, the Assyrian language was undoubtedly not Semitic. It dates from a very early period. In 1887, one of the greatest scholars on the subject of Babylonian civilization, Professor A. H. Sayce, wrote of the primordial origins of the Assyrian and Chaldean languages:

The primitive language and population of Chaldea have excited so much discussion, and the views held on the subject by Assyriologists have undergone so much modification...The decipherment of the Assyrian inscriptions had not proceeded far before it became clear that the Assyrian syllabary was not of Semitic origin...the characters possessed phonetic values which did not correspond to the Semitic words...Moreover, the syllabary expressed very imperfectly the sounds of a Semitic language...It appeared evident, therefore, that the syllabary, the pictorial origin of which was soon recognized, must have been invented by a non-Semitic people, and handed on by them to the Semitic population who inhabited the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates during the historical period - (Lectures on the Origin and Growth of Religion, As Illustrated by the Religion of the Ancient Babylonians, 1887)

...behind the Semitic legends of Accad and Babylon...lie older non-Semitic legends which speak of the origin of culture and civilization in Chaldea. These legends describe it as beginning on the shores of the Personal Gulf and working its way to the cities of the north - ibid

This primordial language was given several names by different scholars. One of these names was Akkadian, after the city of Akkad and the Akkadian people who had lived South-West of present day Baghdad, and who were predecessors of the Assyrians. The Akkadian empire had been at its height 2,000 years BC. However, the term Akkad derives from a Sumerian word, agade, meaning "fire crown" or "men crowned with fire." It may also be related to an ideograph for "mound," after the fact that the central temple stood upon a high place or mound. The Akkadians were a matriarchal people whose supreme goddess was Ishtar. And this suffix tar, is reminiscent of Tara, Ara, Arya, or Eri, meaning Ireland. Ishtar later became Aphrodite of the Greeks and Venus of the Romans. She was also a major deity for the Assyrians and Babylonians, and presumably for the Chaldeans. She was the Astarte of the Sumerians. The words Esther and Easter derive from her name and worship. The word star also derives from Ishtar. Similar to the Egyptian Isis and Nuith, Ishtar was a goddess of the heavens. She was a prototype for the Christian Mary.

It was to the Akkadians that the beginnings of Chaldean culture and civilization were due. They were the teachers and masters of the Semites, not only in the matter of writing and literature, but in other elements as well...the dead or dying Accadian became a sacred language among the Semitic priesthood of a later period...the Semites continued to represent the names of the gods by the same ideographs that had been used by their Accadian predecessors, but in most cases they naturally gave them a different pronunciation - A. H. Sayce

In the appendix of his master work on ancient Middle-Eastern civilizations, Professor Sayce emphasizes the mishandling and corruption of the original pre-Chaldean language by the scribes and translators of later periods:

I must here diverge for a moment in order to emphasize the fact that very few of the earlier texts of Sumer and Accad have come down to us in their original form...the earlier literature of Chaldea has been subjected to alterations and modifications of the most extensive kind. Documents of different age and origin have been pieced together; words, lines, and even whole passages have been freely interpolated; glosses have crept into texts from the margin; the language has been modernized again and again; and the errors of coypists, intentional or unconscious, have made their way into the text. The corruption of the text has been further increased by the imperfect acquaintance of many of the later editors with the pre-Semitic dialects of Chaldea. This has been a frequent cause of error, and in one case at least has resulted in macaronic verses, the Semitic portion of which has no real connection with the Sumerian

The language of the Chaldeans predates Arabic that predates Sanskrit. Indeed, Sanskrit was not native to India but was brought Eastward by the Aryan invaders or Vedics (from Vates or Faidh, the poets of Irish renown). The eminent scholar Godfrey Higgins was in no doubt as to the connections between the Chaldeans and Irish. He wrote:

These people were the followers of wisdom, and thus the Goddess Cali...and the language of these people was Hebrew, which was Celtic, which was the Gael, of Scotland and of Singala, and Bengal, and of the kingdom of Orugallu. It was the Gael-doct and the Sanscrit, Sanctum Scriptum - the Cel of Celtic and of Cal changed into the Gel and Gal...Thus the language of the Gael-doct would be the language of the learned wisdom, that is, the learned Celt or Hebrew, the language of Abraham, of South India, and of the Chaldeans - (Anacalypsis, Vol 2)

The eminent American scholar Alvin Boyd Kuhn makes the case clear regarding the "nationality" of the Chaldeans. He wrote:

Ur of the Chasdim...This latter word signifies not national Chaldeans, as those thus designated were not an ethnic group, but a spiritual caste - (The Esoteric Structure of the Alphabet)

Officially, Chaldea lay on the Northern shore of the Persian Gulf in the Southern reaches of modern Iraq, known in ancient times as Parthia, and as Persia.

The Persians were formerly called Chaldeans...Chaldea and Syria are one nation - Stephanus Byzantius (Greek Politician and Historian)

There can be no doubt that many Assyrians might be Chaldeans, and vice versa. But the Chaldeans, most assuredly, were a sect or order of some kind, totally independent of the Assyrian or Babylonian empire...Ancient history shows traces of them in many places besides Babylon - Godfrey Higgins (Anacalypsis, Vol 1)

The Chaldeans not only furnished an early dynasty of Babylon, but also were incessantly pressing into Babylonia; and, despite their repeated defeats by Assyria, they gradually gained the upper hand there. The founder of the New Babylonian Kingdom, Nabopolassar (circa 626 B.C.) was a Chaldean, and from that time Chaldea meant Babylonia - G. R. S. Meade (The Chaldean Oracles, Vol 1)

The Druidic elements of the Chaldeans became evident after the discovery, during the second century AD, of the famous and revered "Chaldean Oracles."

They appear to be a syncretic combination of neo-Platonic elements with others that were Persian or Babylonian in origin. Later neo-Platonists, such as Proclus and Iamblichus, rated them highly. The 4th-century Emperor Julian suggests in his Hymn to the Magna Mater that he was an initiate of the God of the Seven Rays, and was an adept of its teachings. When Christian Church Fathers or other Late Antiquity writers credit "the Chaldeans", they are probably referring to this tradition…An analysis of the Chaldean Oracles demonstrates a similarity with contemporary Gnostic teachings…By far the greatest number of the poem's known fragments are found in the books of the later Platonic philosophers, who from the time of Porphyry, and probably that of Plotinus, held these Oracles in the highest estimation - (Wikipedia Online Encyclopedia)

The Magi were divided into three castes, as Eubulus, who wrote the history of Mithra in many books, informs us. The first and most highly trained of them neither eat nor kill anything possessed of soul, but adhere to the ancient rule of abstinence from animals. The second [? the warriors] use flesh, but do not slay tame creatures. While the third [though they eat domesticated animals] do not use all of them as do the rest of the people. "For the chief doctrine of all of them is that of metempsychosis - G. R. S. Meade (On the Magi)

The Great Library of Alexandria contained a valuable collection of manuscripts of what we may term the then "Sacred Books of the East" in their original tongues. Many of these were translated, and among them the "Books of the Chaldeans" - G. R. S. Meade (The Chaldean Oracles, Vol 1)

The two nations that made the deepest impression on the Greek thinkers were Egypt and Chaldea; these they regarded as the possessors of the most ancient wisdom-traditions - ibid

The Druidical religion prevailed not only in Britain, but likewise all over the East - Edward Vaughan Kenealy (Book of God)

The Roman historian Pliny noted the similarities between the Druids and Persians. He wrote:

A man would think the Persians learned all their magic from them

And we are provided with a good summary of the nature of the Chaldeans from historian Diodorus of Sicily, who wrote:

...being assigned to the service of the gods they spend their entire life in study, their greatest renown being in the field of astrology. But they occupy themselves largely with soothsaying as well, making predictions about future events, and in some cases by purifications, in others by sacrifices, and in others by some other charms they attempt to effect the averting of evil things and the fulfillment of the good. They are also skilled in the soothsaying by the flight of birds, and they give out interpretations of both dreams and portents. They also show marked ability in making divinations from the observations of the entrails of animals, deeming that in this branch they are eminently successful - (Bibliotheca Historica)

Professor Sayce comments, in his masterpiece, on King Sargon, the city of Akkad, and the great library of Nineveh, where the Babylonians kept their astronomical texts:

In spite of the atmosphere of myth which came to enshroud him...Sargon was a historical monarch and founder of a great empire...What may be termed the scientific literature of the library of Nineveh makes frequent reference to him, and we learn that it was for the great library which he established in his capital city of Accad that the two standard Babylonian works on astronomy and terrestrial omens were originally compiled. The work on astronomy was entitled: "The Observations of Bel," and consisted of no less than seventy-two books, dealing with such matters as the conjunction of the sun and moon, the phases of Venus, and the appearances of comets - (Lectures on the Origin and Growth of Religion, As Illustrated by the Religion of the Ancient Babylonians, 1887)

While from John Clarke Ridpath's History of the World, we read:

In their aspirations for communion with the higher powers, the yearning of the ancient Chaldeans turned upwards to the planets and the stars. The horizon of the Babylonian plain was uniform and boundless. It was the heaven above rather than the earth beneath, which exhibited variety and life. The Zodiac was ever new with its brilliant evolutions. Through the clear atmosphere the tracks of the shining orbs could be traced in every phase and transposition. With each dawn of morning light, with each recurrence of the evening twilight, a new panorama spread before the reverent imagination of the dreamer, and he saw in the moving spheres not only the abode but the manifested glory of his gods

The Chaldeans were known for their prodigious talents and learning. They were the envy of the world, and for this reason their true identity and significance has been obscured. The Chaldeans were very probably closely related to the Phoenicians who were the great navigators and shipwrights, and whose own land was not far away. It was Phoenicians who were commissioned by King Solomon to construct his temple. This story is not, however, about one physical construction. It is a cryptic masonic allegory concerning the worldwide temples and stellar colleges of the Druids, the sons of the sun and moon ("Solomon"). These great colleges were later destroyed, built over, and/or occupied by imposters who took centuries to rescript the ancient gnosis to serve their own vile purposes.

The name Chaldean completely lost its ethnic meaning and acquired a professional meaning: it was given to every sorcerer/magician or imposter irrespective of nationality - (Greek Encyclopedia)

The Chaldeans..."provide interpretation of auguries, divinations, dreams and marvels" - Diodorus Siculus

The term Chaldean is, of course, vague, and scientifically inaccurate. Chaldean is a Greek synonym for Babylonian, and is the way they transliterated the Assyrian name Kalda. The land of the Kalda proper lay S.E. of Babylonia proper on what was then the sea-coast - Meade (The Chaldean Oracles)

We find ‘Chaldĉans’ used in Daniel, as a name for a caste of wise men - ibid

The Persian arms had laid low the temporal power that had previously reigned over the cities of the Chaldaei, and the priests of the conquerors, the Magi, were established in the highest place as the representatives of the religion of the Court - ibid

The bible, as expected, has nothing good to say about the Chaldeans. It refers to them as Kasdim or Chasadim. The outrageously fantastical Book of Daniel was, in our opinion, composed to ensure their skills as prophets and soothsayers were contrasted with the Judaic prophet and seen to be less dramatic and competent. The bible mythmongers took pains to compose wildly hyperbolic accounts in order to exalt their extraordinarily god-inspired, lion-taming prophet Daniel. Like Joseph, Daniel was beloved of god and not the devious and incompetent Chaldeans.

And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it a perpetual desolation - (Jeremiah 25:11)

The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon - (Daniel 2: 47-48)

Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing...The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonished - (Daniel 5:7-9)

Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry…And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom…Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation - (Daniel 5: 14-17)

Map of Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq) This country has seen many civilizations come and go. Empires that have existed in the region include the Chaldean, Amorite, Assyrian, Akkadian, Hurrian, Parthian, Persian, Mongol, Macedonian, Ottoman (Turkish), and British. Naturally, because of the supplanting of earlier civilizations by later ones, the evidence for the Irish connection has been largely been lost and obscured. Nevertheless, Gaelic word roots abound and the various mythologies betray a Western origin. The great cities of Ur, Eridu, and Erech (Uruk) date back to the time of the Chaldeans, over 5,000 years BC. Being near the Persian Gulf it would not have been difficult for Western seafarers to have colonized southern locales along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Indeed, the earliest texts do speak of this southern colonization. Settlers from the Indus Valley region of modern day Pakistan may also have relocated to Mesopotamia, after the drying up of the great Saraswati River. The word Sumer comes from a Scots-Gaelic word meaning "Serpent." The root Mer, of Sumer, means "ocean" and also "Wise Ones." An early Babylonian "Lord of all Gods," was known as Merodach, which sounds like the Scots-Gaelic Murdoch. Merodach (Marduk) was the same as the sun god Bel. For over 3,000 years BC, Babylon was held by the Amorites who may have been related to Western peoples. This race, also known as the Amarru and as Martu, also held the land of Syria and Canaan. Their territory encompassed Kadesh and Megiddo. They may have been related to the Hyksos of Egypt since many biblical names appear similar to those of the Amorites. See Volume Two for more on the Amorite-Hyksos connection. The closest examination of the Sumerian and Chaldean (and Akkadian) languages has revealed connections to the language of ancient Anatolia or Turkey, that lies in Europe, west of Mesopotamia. The inhabitants of ancient Turkey were the Caucasian Hurrians and Hittites. There are many resemblances between the Turko-Tartar language of the Hittites, and that of the Sumerians and Chaldeans. There are also resemblances to the Finnish language. Ancient Babylonian texts were found in Cyprus, indicating that there was a connection between these countries from before the time of King Sargon (2333 BC).

The early Babylonians referred to the Otherworld by the term Arali. This word, that contains the root Ara, meant "House or Land of the Dead." It was a subterranean region of darkness frequented by spirits of the dead. Another interesting term for the Chaldeans was Yakin. The kings of Chaldea, and the city they ruled over, south of the Euphrates, was known by this term. This Yakin is suggestively similar to the term Jachin that refers to one of the pillars of the famous Temple of Solomon. Could Jachin of the Jews and masons have meant "Pillar of the Yakins or Chaldeans?" After all, the Chaldeans were great astrologers and diviners, and were respected as great "oracles." In any case, the wisdom of the Chaldeans and their kings was, we maintain, an inheritance from the West. It is significant, after all, that the goddess Inanna (after the Irish Ana) received the gifts of civilization from the Chaldean priests of Ur, nor it is not by chance that the Chaldean capital, dating to over 5,000 BC, was known as Eridu - "House of the Faraway Builders."

• The city that lies to the East of the Euphrates, and from which Inanna had come, was Uruk. But this city's name can also be rendered Erech. Both city names, Erech and Eridu, contain the name of the earliest goddess of Ireland, Eri. Her name is the root of Arya.

The Phoenicians

And thy cities shall be leveled, and parted among the Assyrians; and thy strong cities shall be parted from Tyre to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain - (Micah 7:12)

The Phoenicians were one of the greatest maritime races in the history of the world. They were masters of the oceans and the world's most proficient architects, shipwrights, woodworkers, traders, and astronomers. There was not a civilization in ancient Europe and Asia that did not owe their existence to the influence of the Phoenicians. This was especially the case with the Egyptians. The civilizations of predynastic Egypt were founded by these mysterious people of unknown origin. The first dynasty of Egypt was made up of Phoenician kings, and the languages of the two countries are strikingly similar. The language of the Phoenicians was not, as most scholars are wont to believe and advocate, a dialect of Egyptian. On the contrary, the Egyptian language was derived from Phoenician.

Phoenicia led the way to a wider literacy through the development of the alphabet - Thomas L. Thompson (The Mythic Past: Biblical Archaeology and the Myth of Israel)

...the alphabet that the early Israelites used was and is demonstrably based on the Phoenician's script - Ralph Ellis (Scota: Egyptian Queen of the Scots)

...this new Phoenician script became the basis for the later Hebrew, Greek and Latin scripts, and so this aspect of Phoenician culture has become a central component of all Western cultures - ibid

One of the main reasons why ancient Israel has disappeared from the stage of history is that Israel did not speak Hebrew but Phoenician - Fredrick Haberman (Tracing Our Ancestors)

The Phoenician legends show that Misor, from whom the Egyptians were descended, was the child of the Phœnician gods Amynus and Magus. Misor gave birth to Taaut, the god of letters, the inventor of the alphabet, and Taaut became Thoth, the god of history of the Egyptians. Sanchoniathon tells us that "Chronos (king of Atlantis) visited the South, and gave all Egypt to the god Taaut, that it might be his kingdom." "Misor" is probably the king "Mestor" named by Plato - Ignatius Donnelly (Atlantis: the Antediluvian World, 1882)

An objective study of the evidence shows that Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, and Armenian, as well as many other ancient languages, were enriched by the infusion of Phoenician religious and cultural elements.

We have found in the most ancient records of the Aryan language proof that the indications of religious thought are higher, simpler and purer as we go back in time - The Duke of Argyll (Unity of Nature)

The names of the patriarchal heroes, as that of God Himself, are non-Semitic...and go back to the earliest known civilizations in the near East, indeed of the world - John Allegro (The Chosen People)

...all the languages of the western world were the same, and that one system of letters, that of ancient Irish Druids, pervaded the whole - and was common to the British Isles, and Gaul, to the inhabitants of Italy, Greece, Syria, Arabia, Persia, and Hindoostan - Godfrey Higgins (Celtic Druids)

When the ten tribes of Israel were taken into Assyrian captivity, they took their language with them, and the only inscription that they left in Palestine is the Siloam inscription in Jerusalem, and it is not in Hebrew but in Phoenician...When the kingdom of Judah went into Babylon captivity about 600 BC, and only 42,000 of them came back seventy years later, they adopted the Aramaic: and the generation that came back had forgotten their fathers' language to the extent that Ezra had to translate the Law for them - Fredrick Haberman

...the ancient Hebrews had the same tongue and letters or characters with the Canaanites or Phoenicians, as might be evidenced from the concurrent testimonies of many authors; nay, all the nations in these parts, Phoenicians, Canaanites, Samaritans, and probably the Assyrians, for some years spoke and wrote alike - Godfrey Higgins

As our scholars have failed to see the difference between Israel and the Jews, they have completely confused the issue; and when they speak of ancient Hebrew they mean Phoenician. "The oldest Hebrew manuscript dates from AD 489, is a roll and was found in the Karaite Synagogue in the Crimea." The Targum version of the Old Testament does not date any earlier than the Babylonian captivity of the Jews, and it was written in the Aramaic Chaldee language, and even of that version there is no BC in existence. So when our scholars speak of the ancient Hebrew of the Israelites they mean Phoenician evidently, for they never have seen it written on a scroll, only on the Siloam inscription, the Moabite stone, and the Phoenician engravings of the East, the Mediterranean, Southern Russia, and Europe, particularly in Britain - Fredrick Haberman (Tracing our Ancestors)

Neither the Phoenician nor the Aramaic possessed any vowels, therefore the pronunciations differed according to locality and age. The vowel signs of the Hebrew manuscripts were introduced by Jewish scholars between the fifth and ninth centuries AD. None of the manuscripts from which our Bible was translated are older than the fourth century - Fredrick Haberman (Tracing our Ancestors)

A very little consideration of the table, must convince anyone, that the system of letters of the Samaritans, the Hebrews, Greeks, and the Irish Celts, must have been originally the same - Godfrey Higgins (Anacalypsis)

The system of letters which they (Irish and British) used was the same system and derived from the same source as the two alphabets of Seventeen letters brought into Greece called the Cadmean and Ionian - ibid

Two Phoenician youths from the city of Sidon. Their features are noticeably Caucasian. The bible refers to the king of the Phoenicians a "remnant of the giants" (see Deut 3:11).

The facts concerning the distortion of truth concerning Phoenician language and culture has been fully explained by Professor L. A. Waddell. Professor Waddell was one of the first men to accurately translate many seals and scripts of the ancient world, particularly those of the Phoenicians, Babylonians, and Sumerians ("Sum Aryans"). His exemplary and incontestable discoveries have been deliberately suppressed by those obscurantists whose patrons have a great deal to lose should the facts concerning our world's true history ever be widely known.

This book is also offered as a pioneer contribution towards a true Universal History of Man from the earliest civilized period founded on concrete Facts, as contrasted with current dogmatic Theories appealing to tradition and prejudice, and often it is to be feared designed in the interest of those who profit by the maintenance of Error - Professor L. A. Waddell (Preface: The Makers of Civilization)

Unlike Professor Waddell, we do not believe the Phoenicians were originally an Eastern European people who took their cultural elements Westward to Britain during their various prolonged trading and mining missions. The new evidence slowly coming to light, regarding pre-diluvian civilizations in the West, and concerning lost land bridges, strengthens our strong belief in the Western origins of the Phoenician people. From the British Isles, these masters of the high seas, who were also known as the Arcadians or "Bear Race," traveled to the Americas taking with them, as the great researcher Barry Fell proved, their Gaelic tongue that is still spoken by the Algonquin Indians of Canada and North America. And from their homeland, beyond the Pillars of Hercules, they also traveled Eastward, taking their cultural idioms to those oriental lands. There were few places on the face of the Earth where Phoenician ships had not docked.

The fact is that Ireland was the first power that colonized along both sides of the Mediterranean sea and, therefore, the colonies came from the West instead of from the East as our astute Roman and British historians would have us believe. And the world has believed it up to now...Investigators have followed the fast clue sent out from this source and found nothing in the East to support this claim that the Aryans emigrated from the East and colonized toward the West. The real and true evidence points just in the opposite direction - Conor MacDari

In our estimation there can be little doubt that the Phoenicians originated in Britain. We wholeheartedly agree with Professor Waddell who first declared, in the 1920s, that the Phoenicians were definitely related tribally and ethnically to the Sumerians, Amorites, Hittites, and perhaps the Minoans of Crete. Since, as Ralph Ellis has shown, the Minoans of Crete were closely connected to the Hyksos pharaohs of Egypt, it is logical to assume the Phoenicians, Minoans, and Hyksos were associated in some way, culturally, racially, or more likely, economically. In any case, there can be little doubt, given the philological evidence, that the Phoenicians and Sumerians were one and the same people. However, unlike Professor Waddell, we do not believe the original homeland of the Phoenicians and Sumerians to have been either Cappadocia in modern Turkey, or the Danube Valley. We believe it to have been Britain. It is, therefore, through the travels of the Phoenicians that the world's parent language dispersed. Additionally, from the Phoenicians came the first unadulterated stellar and solar religion and first organized pantheons, as well as other techniques of science, architecture, music, and art.

According to the traditions of the Phoenicians, the Gardens of the Hesperides were in the remote west - (Murray's Manual of Mythology)

...the Phoenicians were unquestionably identified with Atlantis, and that it was probably from Atlantis they derived their god Baal, or Bel, or El, whose name crops out in the Bel of the Babylonians, the Elohim, and the Beelzebub of the Jews, and the Allah of the Arabians, And we find that this great deity, whose worship extended so widely among the Mediterranean races, was known and adored also upon the northern and western coasts of Europe. Professor Nilsson finds traces of Baal worship in Scandinavia; he tells us that the festival of Baal, or Balder, was celebrated on midsummer's night in Scania, and far up into Norway, almost to the Loffoden Islands, until within the last fifty years. The feast of Baal, or Beltinne, was celebrated in Ireland to a late period. I argue from these facts, not that the worship of Baal came to Ireland and Norway from Assyria or Arabia, but that the same great parent-race which carried the knowledge of Baal to the Mediterranean brought it also to the western coasts of Europe, and with the adoration of Baal they imported also the implements of bronze now found in such abundance in those regions - Ignatius Donnelly (Atlantis: the Antediluvian World, 1882)

Although Mediterranean and Asian cultures went on to develop, refine, and also distort the cultural elements they inherited from the Western Elders, they were not the original manufacturers of them. The seeds of Eastern European and Asian civilization were transmitted not from Scythia, as most "Celtic" scholars concede, but from much farther West, from the greatly endowed "Atlantean" inhabitants of the "Furthest West Sunset Land," who fashioned by their art the colossal Western temples still to be seen at Stonehenge, Newgrange, Carrowkeel, Avebury, and Carnac.

Newgrange is the oldest scientific instrument in the world still functioning. It predates Stonehenge and the Pyramids, and stands as one of the world's most ancient monuments. It is quite likely it will still be functioning when our own scientific instruments have turned to dust - Martin Brennan (Lecture on Newgrange Tumulus)

The first archaeological remains of a sundial were found in Egypt, dating from 1200 BC. But the dials found at Knowth represented an advanced stage of sun dialing - (from Stonelight.ie. Article on Martin Brennan's theories)

...Egypt is highly unusual, in that the early craftsmanship and construction from the Old Kingdom are the finest and the quality and dimensions of each monument reduce from then on throughout the following millennia...these temples were not dedicated to any one particular monarch, nor to any one particular god. They were, instead, dedicated to the observation and the study of the Universe. The original theology and ritual of the megalithic priesthood demanded that there were no idols, no imagery and no inscriptions, as the design of these monuments was not supposed to give away the identity of the architects or builders - Ralph Ellis (Eden in Egypt)

Though Stonehenge be the proudest singularity of this sort, in the world, as far as we know: yet there are so many others, manifestly formed upon the same, or kindred design, by the same measure, and for the same purpose, all over the Britannic isles; that we can have no room to doubt of their being made by the same people, and that by direction of the British Druids. There are innumerable, from the land's end in Cornwall, to the utmost northern promontory in Scotland, where the Roman power never reached. They are to be found in all the islands between Scotland and Ireland, isle of Man, all the Orkney islands, &c. and numerous in Ireland itself. And there is no pretence, as far as I can see, for any other persons or nations being the founders of them - William Stukeley (Stonehenge: A Temple Restored to the British Druids, 1740)

The entrance to the cairn of Newgrange tumulus, with the original Stone of Bethel in front. Above the door is the small "sun window" through which the rays of the sun and moon pass during the winter solstice. Newgrange stands in Country Meath, the fifth Province of ancient Ireland. Older than the pyramids, it is still perfectly aligned to the constellations. Its construction is a mystery. The many foundation stones were systematically removed and turned face-in to hide the many stellar leitmotifs and petroglyphs. Within the "tomb" is the symbol of the 3 interlocking spirals. Every Winter Solstice morning the sun's light penetrates as a thin beam through a miniature aperture and passes into the inner chamber. During moonrise the lunar light does the same thing. It is not by accident that the famous Battle of the Boyne was fought nearby. Author and researcher Andrew Power (Ireland: Land of the Pharaohs) has found evidence that pyramidical structures also existed at the Newgrange site before being deliberately removed. The Newgrange tumulus is one of three in the area. The two other similar mounds are Knowth and Dowth. From the air, the three cairns form a shape reminiscent of the triskellion. The Greeks mention the "Hyperborean Race" of the North-Western hemisphere, and that they possessed a circular temple. There can be little doubt as to the identity of these Hyperboreans. They were the Druid Elders of Ireland. Jacob woke from his sleep and said 'Truly the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it…How fearsome is this place! This is no other than the house of God, this is the gate of heaven - (Genesis 28: 16-17)

In light of this, we do not accept as accurate the official dates given for the rise of the Phoenicians (a few hundred years BC).

Adonis - also known as Adon, a name that meant "Lord." He was the supreme god of the Phoenicians. There are many similarities between Adonis, Attis, Osiris, Tammuz, and Balder. The Norse Balder was probably the prototype for Adonis. After his death, Adonis' soul was claimed by Persephone, goddess of the Underworld

We agree with Comyns Beaumont and L. A. Waddell that their ancestry went much further back in time. What we do know is that the term Phoenician is thought to have derived from one of three main sources. The word referred to the purple dye extracted from shellfish by the Phoenicians who held the monopoly on its production. This dye was preferred by the pharaohs of Egypt and was primarily a color of royalty. Then, we find the word connected to the mythical bird known as the phoenix, and to the sacred tree of this strange creature, namely the date palm. The image of the date palm frond, that turns up in the story of Jesus, was commonly to be found above the doorways and windows of temples, shrines, and sacred colleges. Cities such as Tanis, which author Ralph Ellis believes was the actual site of the biblical Jerusalem, were richly adorned with majestic palm columns and decorative stone palm frond motifs. Amid the frond motif was usually the solar disk since the palm frond and tree were sacred to the sun god Amun Ra. We believe that the Cult of Amun Ra had its origins in Ireland. The Phoenicians, therefore, had a strong connection to one of the most ancient and important gods of the sun. The Phoenix symbolized spiritual resurrection and also zodiacal cycles. Like the Irish Druids and Egyptian Magi, the Phoenicians were mystical adepts. They produced great navigators, architects, and scientists, and also great scholars, poets, and seers. Their Eastern cities were incomparably impressive. Officially, they are known to have frequently traveled to Britain where they mined for ores such as copper and tin.

The world's oldest highway is the ocean - Fredrick Haberman (Tracing Our Ancestors)

The Egyptians referred to the Druids as the "People of the Sea" - Sirona Knight (Celtic Traditions)

The Arcadians were known as "The Bear Race:" they were also (in their most ancient sense) the original Phoenicians. Furthermore, the stars of Ursa Minor were those principally used in all navigation by land as well as by sea, to direct the course of the traveler. Thus the Arcadian or Bear Race were known as the guides or pathfinders of mankind, leading and lighting the way like Mercury or Hermes...The Phoenicians were renowned sailors and navigators, as well as teachers and healers - Peter Dawkins (Arcadia)

In primitive centuries, when ancient maritime races thus held supremacy in the Mediterranean Sea, voyages were undoubtedly made far into the Atlantic Ocean. The Phoenicians, who of all the nations settled on its shores lay among the remotest from the outlying ocean, habitually traded with settlements on the Atlantic. They colonized the western shores of the Mediterranean at a remote period; occupied numerous favorable trading posts on the bays and headlands of the Euxine, as well as of Sicily and others of the larger islands; passing beyond the straits, effected settlements along the coasts of Europe and Africa. According to Strabo, they had factories beyond the Pillars of Hercules in the period immediately succeeding the Trojan War: an era which yearly becomes for us less mythical, and to which may be assigned the great development of the commercial prosperity of Tyre - Sir Daniel Wilson (The Lost Atlantis and other Ethnographic Studies, 1892)

Solomon had good reason for assuring himself of active Phoenician support...no one disputes that the Phoenicians were masters at that time of both the Mediterranean and seas further to the east. They were the traders. No other people so boldly ventured onto the world's waters. No other people would even have dared sail around Africa. Characteristically, the Phoenicians had no land on which they settled, but rather a network of shipping facilities and numerous far-flung outposts at places across the known world - Gruber and Kersten (The Original Jesus)

We concur with Professor Waddell's conjecture that the Phoenicians were not members of the Semitic racial family. The archaeological evidence clearly shows that they were, like the Irish, ethnically and racially Gothic, Nordic, Indo-European, and Caucasian or, as Professor Waddell preferred, "Aryan."

Thus the daring Phoenician pioneer mariners...and of whose great contributions to the civilization of Greece and Rome classic writers speak in glowing terms, were, I found by indisputable inscriptional and other evidence, not Semites as hitherto supposed, but were Aryans in Race, Speech and Script - (Egyptian Civilization: Its Sumerian Origins and True Chronology)

The original Irish, who had survived immense cataclysms, knew they needed access to the rest of the world in order to survive. They knew this meant the development of a "navy." So, the navigators were created. They were the Phoenicians, the expert observers of the heavens and mappers of the world. Their sidereal knowledge was an extension of Druidic wisdom perfected over centuries in North-Western lands. This knowledge allowed the "Hyperborean" Phoenicians to expertly navigate the oceans of the world. Like later Vikings and Danes, the Phoenicians sailed to the East (and West) creating small settlements on the coasts of lands they visited, traded with, and mined. Because of their prolonged commercial interaction with Asians and Orientals, the Phoenicians' alphabet, as well as many other Phoenician customs and practices, were adopted. Eventually, at the time of the Roman expansion, and after their roving decreased, the Phoenicians co-meddled with races of foreign blood and slowly began to lose their own racial distinctiveness.

One of the terms that the Phoenicians used to describe themselves was Bharat, Barata, or Parats. This was the name of one of their earliest kings, the Sumerian Brihat, or Bharat.

We surmise that this king, like his seafaring people, were actually named after the land of their ancestors, namely Barata, Brita, or Britain. From their name we also derive the Indo-Aryan tribe known as the Bharats who frequented the Indus Valley. We do not think that Britain received its name from the Phoenicians after they traveled there from the East. One of the most important Phoenician goddesses was known as Brit Ana meaning "Lady of the Waters." She is clearly depicted on Carthaginian (Phoenician) coins often holding a ship's rudder or sitting near the ocean. An early Phoenician and Sumerian sun god was known as Dar or Der, which is a name similar to Djer, the third king of Egypt's first dynasty. Dar (or Daru, Dur, Der, and Derry, etc) was the prototype for the Germanic god Thor and for the heroic semi-mythical British King Arthur. The term Dar is, however, close to the root for the word "Druid." The syllable turns up in the name of the Persian King Darius and can certainly be ascribed to the oak trees that were sacred to the Irish Druids. The Irish Druidical rites manifested themselves principally in sun worship. Their chief god was Bel or Baal - the same worshipped by the Phoenicians - the god of the sun - Ignatius Donnelly (Atlantis: the Antediluvian World, 1882) Strabo says, that in an isle near to Britain, the worship of Ceres and Persephone was celebrated with the same rites as in Samothrace - Godfrey Higgins

The British Isles - named after Baratana, or Britana, the goddess of the Barats or Bharats (Phoenicians). They were referred to as "Aryans." The term Bharata is possibly a corruption of Bhara, or even of Dhara: Dhar meaning "druid" and ara meanings "Arya" officially, the Bharats were worshippers of Agni, the god of fire. The letters "B," "T," and "P," were interchangeable

The word bible comes down to us as a commemoration of the sacred city of Byblos in the Lebanon. This was a great capital of learning where people from all over the world gathered to pursue arts, education, and trade. It was a city built and dominated by an Irish race known as the Phoenicians. It was known in Arabic as Gubayl, Gebal, or Jubel (note the Gaelic bal and bel roots). Along with the Phoenician city of Sidon, Byblos is considered the oldest city in the world, certainly the oldest in the East.

Through the city's waterways passed ships carrying the papyrus used to make books. The word book comes from buka, which was the Egyptian word for the papyrus reed. Tradition had it that the city was founded by Thoth, the god of writing and sacred knowledge. The god Cronus (from the Irish Crom) was also a chief tutelary deity of the city. The incredible antiquity and sophistication of this city and region was confirmed when Egyptian artifacts were discovered dating back before the fourth pharaonic dynasty, over 2,500 years BC. After the Romans invaded and vastly changed the appearance of Byblos they, suggestively, made the city a center for the worship of their god Adonis (Adon, Aton). It has been conceded by anthropologists and linguists that the alphabet came into the world from the mysteriously endowed race known as the Phoenicians. A complete alphabet of 22 letters was discovered at Byblos dating back to at least 1200 BC.

Byblos - the oldest city in the world. Built by the Phoenicians. The word Bible derives from the name of this center of learning, art, and trade. The Romans invaded and made the city the center for the worship of Adonis (Adon, Aton)

They are the inventors of the so-called "Cadmean" letters that were subsequently the basis for the Greek and Latin languages. What has not been officially conceded is the Irish origins of these "Phoenicians." Their settlements and great cities (Carthage, Tyre, Byblos, Sidon, Pelusium, Arvad, etc) have been located in the Middle East but they were not their original homelands.

When we read in our popular histories of Phoenicia, we must never consider it as a national unity, like Egypt, Babylon, or Rome; for Phoenicia in this respect was different from any other country in history. Phoenicia never at any time was a nation under one government, but was merely a geographical designation - Fredrick Haberman (Tracing Our Ancestors)

We find, upon research into this extraordinary race, that there has been reluctance among historians to properly place the Phoenicians. To do so would inevitably not only shatter the myth of world history accepted by the masses but would ultimately confirm theories concerning the Irish origins of civilization. Only alternative historians Ignatius Donnelly and Comyns Beaumont accepted the truth of the matter and accurately set the homeland of the Phoenician race in Ireland and Scotland. According to Beaumont, the Phoenicians' main base of operation may have been ancient Moravia. The word Moravia contains the root Mor which, like Mer, denotes the ocean. It is a root that turns up in the name Fomorian and Amorite. In Egyptian this syllable Mer signified the pyramid and the keepers of arcane secrets. Moravia was an area stretching from Caithness (in the extreme North-West of Scotland) southward along the River Tay to Inverness, and even further South to Perth. It may be that the Phoenicians were not unrelated to the ancient Calendonii, from whom the Highland Picts are descended. These Picts have mythologies and histories concerning massive global cataclysm and the ruination of their original paradisiacal homelands in the North. Their lore speaks of the wars of the gods, the violence in the heavens that wrecked the planet, and the subsequent dispersion of the races. The Romans saw to it that the Picts were routed and marginalized. They have been largely ignored and conveniently labeled primitive and barbaric. Comyns Beaumont specifically draws our attention to the extremely interesting and suggestive fact that the first Christian churches were established in the Highlands of Scotland, specifically at Iona and Mull. The suppression of local lore and religion by the monks from these early churches is a matter of historical record. We find it suggestive that the name of the first Christian "saint" to arrive and establish a monastic center on Iona (IO = Horus) was Columba, which means "Dove." The island of Iona had been sacred to the Irish for millennia and it had hosted Druidic colleges of the greatest antiquity.

It is believed that the ninth or eighth century BC saw the creation of the Homeric epics...Whence did the Greeks obtain all this material of myths and legends which Homer and the great Attic dramatists transformed into immortal works of art? - Sigmund Freud (Moses and Monotheism)

There were two important reasons why the truth about the Phoenicians had to be suppressed and occluded. The first had to do with the fact that they were of Irish extraction, and the second was due to the fact that the Egyptians declared themselves to have inherited their civilization from the Phoenicians. Under no circumstances was this knowledge to become widely known. So the disinformation began to flow forth concerning this special and enlightened race. Almost everything we read about them is designed to deceive.

...it appears to be the Land of Kham or Ham, the oldest traditional name for Egypt, and a usual name for that land and its people in the Hebrew Old Testament, where the Phoenicians are called "Sons of Ham" - L. A. Waddell (Egyptian Civilization: Its Sumerian Origins and True Chronology, 1927)

In Scripture Phoenicia was closely related to Edom, both meaning "red man"...They had, moreover, kings before Israel and were among the most highly civilized of the early races in the most distant prehistoric times - Comyns Beaumont (The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain)

Another feature to be observed of the Giants is that nearly always they are described as red-haired, as were the Adamites and Edomites, names derived from the Hebrew adom or edom, red or ruddy...The same applies to the Phoenicians of like stock, whose name is but a derivation of the word meaning red or carroty, relating to a ruddy-faced people - ibid

…many personalities are alluded to in the Biblical texts by their predominant ‘redness’…King David was, for absolutely no apparent reason, said to be red - Ralph Ellis (Solomon: Falcon of Sheba)

And he sent, and brought David in. Now he was ruddy (red) and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look at - (From Dr. Donald Redford’s Egypt, Canaan and Israel in Ancient Times)

Many of the Greek gods and heroes were admitted to be Phoenician, including Heracles...Dionysus, Cadmus...Semele, the Cabiri, Oedipus, Phoenix, and many others. From Phoenix were descended the Greek heroes Minos, Sarpedon, Rhadamanthys, Phineus, Adonis, and his daughter Europa...Phoenicia is a very important part of many of the earliest Greek myths, along with much of the Greek language...One may begin with the poems of Homer, Hesiod and Euripides. Wherever such Phoenicians are described by the Greek writers, they were absolutely a white, fair-haired, fair-skinned people. Even the Roman poet Virgil in his Aeneid described the Carthaginian queen Dido, a Phoenician, as being blond and beautiful. While such may not have represented the norm, it certainly was the ideal expressed consistently throughout the poets - William Fink (Classical and Biblical Records Identifying the Phoenicians)

Dr. Clark…has given a coin which he says is evidently Phoenician: on one side is an inscription in the Phoenician language, but in Etruscan characters, which proves that the Phoenicians and Etruscans were the same people - Godfrey Higgins (on Dr. Clark's Travels)

The main reason why the Phoenicians have been thought of as Easterners has to do with one of the terms denoting them. This term is Cabiri or Kabiri. Duplicitous scholars and propagandists would have it known that this word means "Easterner," in Hebrew. However, we think it is more likely that the term simply meant those Phoenicians living in the East and not Phoenicians of the East. There is all the difference in the world between the two implications and we are convinced, from the evidence and omissions, that the former is the true reading. The term Kabiri (or Cabiri) turns up in Strabo who said that this was the name for the Phoenician elite, the masters of healing, building, navigation, and mining, etc. The Cabiri were the great diviners and soothsayers. The Greek historian Herodotus called them the Curetes, from which we get the French cure (priest) and English cure (to heal). We find the syllable cur in the word Mercury, a god beloved of the Phoenicians. Mercury, whose name comes from the Egyptian Maa Kheru, meaning "True Words," was a most versatile god. He was the only one who could pass into either Olympus or Hades. Mercury holds the serpentine caduceus that signifies occult knowledge and mastery. We believe this symbol to be the standard not just of modern "medics" but of the Irish-Phoenician Cabiri, the stargazing hierophants of old.

Grecian rendering of Mercury, the Irish Herne, Ogmios or Cernunnos, guide of the dead, healer and herald.

Mercury as Egyptian Thoth. Dogs head (cur) and Serpent Wand, and Ankh. The Caduceus of Hermes was also known as the Kerykeion, it was the magic wand of power. An ancient symbol for the DNA spiral it may also have signified the Tree of Life sacred to the Druids. The root Mer referred to the pyramid in Egypt and to its mysteries. it also meant the "high ones"

The term appears again around the ancient Egyptian god of metallurgy Ptah. Ptah was a creator god primarily worshipped at Memphis. In the bible this great and ancient city was called Noph, which probably derives from nef meaning "serpent." The word Ptah means "father" and we derive the diminutive Pa from it. Ptah's Kabeiroi were his team of helpers assisting in the fashioning of Creation. Mercury was, however, based on much older Irish gods.

Commerce, much developed among the settled Gauls, gave rise to a god or gods who guarded roads over which merchants traveled, and boundaries where their transactions took place. Hence we have an inscription from Yorkshire, "To the god who invented roads and paths," while another local god of roads, equated with Mercury, was Cimiacinus - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts)

The Irish had traveled to every known country in ancient times. They bore the name Fenian or Fenician (from Fenii or Phenii) that later became transposed to Phoenician. The term may be connected to the planet and stellar archetype Venus (found as a root in veneration and also in places such as Venice and Vienna). The ancient navigators used this star when traveling, and the prows of their ships bore the female goddess form. Ships become known as "She" and were considered sacred to the goddess. The consensus of most official Irish historians concerning the term Fenician, is that it comes from the "Fenian Cycle" of Irish history, after the tribe of the giant king Fionn mac Cumhaill (pr. "Finn mac Cool"). The fact that Fionn was a giant is cryptically revealing. It refers to the pre-diluvian "giants," or wise ones from lost civilizations of prehistory. It also connoted the builders of great earthworks and astronomically aligned monuments. Fionn was especially connected with the geological marvel known as "The Giant's Causeway" in Northern Ireland. He was a descendant of the Tuatha de Danann, the Megalithic magi of Ireland who ruled millennia earlier and who were connected with the Faerie (or "Luminous Ones"). As the great Irish legends of the Sons of Tureinn and of Bran reveal, the Irish-Phoenicians were master navigators and sailors. The Fenicians were none other than the Phoenicians. The capital of the kings of Ireland was at Tara (a name meaning gateway or portal in both Hebrew and Egyptian), the capital of the Cappadocian Hittites (White Syrians) was at Pteira, the Lebanese capital city of the Phoenicians was Tyre. The Phoenicians were also known as Tyrians. These words are from the same root, meaning "Place of the Aryans" They were capital cities of the original Law Givers and Law Makers, the original Adjudicators, Judges, and Prophets, from Ireland not Israel. The mighty philosophers of Greece and Rome made no mention of the wisdom of Judea. It is not from the Eastern lands that the Athenian masters took instruction. The erudition of the Greeks and Romans was an inheritance from the West and not from the East as has been perpetually insinuated.
