Revised Egyptian Chronology and the Rose Dynasty

2011-12-12T10:33:00.000-08:00

The Rose dynasty goes back to the wife of the original founder of the city of Shushan. Shushana (Susan) the original Rose was the wife of Elam founder of Shushan and from her daughter Yiskah Bat Shoshana (wife of Madai) descended the direct Matriarchal line. Yiskah was a prophetess who gazed into the mysteries of the Divine Rose. She studied in the academy of her grandfather Shem (died 2194 BC) son of Noah (died 2341 BC) with her grandmother Sedeketelebab in the city named for her grandmother by Shem. Her sister Ratzonia (Rasueja) Bat Shoshana was the wife of her uncle Arpachshad son of Shem (see the Book of Jubilees). Sedeketelebab means ‘righteousness of the Heart’ and this was the spiritual religion of Noah and Shem based on Divine Mercy (Khesed) and obedience to the Divine Will (Ratzon) as taught by Enoch. The names of Shem’s family reveal the ancient Enochian religion. Shem was known as the Messenger of Righteousness (Malakhitzedek) and in Jewish tradition he became confused with Melchizedek (the King of Righteousness) King of Shalem and the King of the Land of the Rising Sun. Melchizedek was the angelic messenger sent to preserve the patriarchal religion in purity and pass it to Abraham. He continued the Academy of Shem where Isaac and Jacob studied. This is why the Egyptians referred to Shalem as Shem-re.

The name Shemesh (sun) was associated with both Shem and Melchizedek as the sun was a symbol for the Divine Will in which all the divine attributes were united as one. This was the divine Rose seen as a six petalled flower represent by the six stems of the double Shin in the word Shesh the root word for both the number six and the rose (shoshan). This Divine Rose and Sun was also seen as the Divine Seed (Zera/Osirus) and Divine Man (Adam Kadmon/Atum). Who is this Adam Kadmon? He is the Bekadmin Bera of the Aramaic first two words of Genesis read at the mystical level. On the literal level it reads ‘In the beginning created’ and at the mystical level it reveals the mystery of ‘with the Primordial Son’. The Aramaic word for heaven or sky in Genesis 1 is Shamya which in Egyptian becomes Shem-re. Shamya in Hebrew is Shamayim. The concept of the Divine Name (shem) is associated with the Sea (yam/mayim) and with fire (esh). Thus the name (shem) of the Divine Sea (yam/yammah) which is especially linked to divine mercy (khesed) became shamayim (heaven) and the name (shem) of the Divine Fire especially linked to divine Judgment (din/dinah) became shemesh (sun). Shem is associated with the mystery of the double shin as shemesh (sun), as shoshan (rose) and as shesh (six). His father Noah was associated with the mystery of the double mem as his other name was Menakhem and his life is linked to the waters (mayim) of the flood.

Shem’s wife is associated with the mystery of the double bet of the Immaculate Heart (lebb) which is the mirror of the Divine Heart (leb). Reading from left to right this ‘lebb’ is found in the first three words of Genesis in Hebrew ‘eLohim Bera Bereshit’. From the lamed in elohim to the beyt in bereshit is 11 letters representing the array of the 10 sefirot plus the outer face of the sefirah of Keter called Daat (Knowledge) – this is the vessel or lighting flash that cloaks the inner essence of Keter called Ratzon represented by the aleph. This is the mystery of the divine Name El (aleph lamed). The first three letters of the first three words (beyt beyt aleph / BBA) represent the number 221 which are the 221 gates of the Wisdom Rose Wheel with the name EL as its axis or centre. Others call them the 231 gates of Wisdom where the centre is 11 ELs representing the 10 sefirot and the sefirah of Daat counted as 11. The two beyt’s represent Wisdom and Understanding as two hearts and the lamed Knowledge and the aleph Keter. BRA represents the son as head of creation- beyt (binah); resh (reshit/wisdom); and aleph (keter/Crown). [see Sefer Yetzirah by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan]

The names of the two sons of Arpachshad (born 2694 BC died 2175 BC) reveal the religious split at this time. Cainan (born 2625 BC) discovered the ancient writings of the Cainites and revived their cult of Enki, while his brother Khesed remained true to the religion of Enoch (known as An or Anu or Anum). Cainan married Milkam the daughter of Yiskah the prophetess of the Rose. Milkam can mean invested priestess or Queen Mother. Milkam and Cainan were the Queen and King of Eridu. Khesed was the priest-king of Uruk. His daughter Muak married Cainan’s son Shelah (born 2578 died 2094 BC). Shelah’s sister Dinah (Diana Goddess of the Hunt) was a wife of Nimrod the mighty Hunter also called Enmerkar. Dinah’s daughter Azurad married her cousin Eber (born 2497 BC died 2003 BC) founder of the Hebrew people and language after Babel. Babel is heart read in reverse (lebab). Her brother-in-law was Khesed the founder of the city of Ur. Her half-sister was Derketo an evil huntress and warrior Queen. Khesed’s son Ur married Milkam the daughter of Eber and Azurad. Eber was King of the city of Ebla. His son Peleg (born 2433 BC died 2176 BC)) moved East to Shinar and married there. Milkam and Ur’s daughters Princess Ora and Princess Azurad married the two sons of Peleg, Reu (born 2385 BC died 2106 BC) and Khaba who would rule Byblos and Egypt. Reu’s son by Princess Ora the High Priestess of Anu was Sargon the Great (born 2313 BC died 2083). This matriarchal Rose dynasty called the Baty Shoshanim were matriarchal ancestors of the Hebrew matriarchal line and the matriarchal Royal line of Egypt. The Royal Pictish matriarchal line was descended from these Daughters of Dinah (Dana/Diana). The Davidic Queens Bathsheba and Tamar were of the matriarchal royal Egyptian line. There descendants were known as Daughters of David or Daughters of Tamar.

The name Nitocris for a legendary Egyptian Queen of the 6th Dynasty with a beautiful white and ruddy complexion refers to the name Intkaes or Anatkaes(also Nutkawes). The Hebrew Matriarchs were known for their fair beauty. Ancient sources such as the Dead Sea Scrolls describe Sarah and Rebecca as having milk white hair and skin. The Bible also describes Rachel as fair of features and form. The beloved in the Song of Songs is also described as white and ruddy. King David is described as of ruddy complexion and hair. The Mystical Rose is also white and red as the Rosa Mundi. The dudaim flower was originally associated with Leah wife of Jacob. It was later in Egypt called sesh or shesh from the double shin in the name of Isaschar. The dudaim flower had three petals or stems (like the fleur de-lys) and this is represented by the three arms of the letter shin. Two shins together are six arms or six petals and the vav between the two shins also is the number six. In some hieroglyphics a three stemmed flower that looks almost identical to the letter Shin is used to transcribe the word Seshen. From dudaim would also come the word Beloved (dodi) in Hebrew and Mery in Egyptian also means Beloved. Miriam or Mariamne means in Egyptian the beloved of Amon. Amon means architect in Hebrew and is the name of Joseph in Egypt. Amon is also the name of the Primordial Torah. Dudumose means ‘the beloved is born’ which was the original name of Moses and his sister Miriam is the ‘beloved of Amon’. As Prince Dudumose Moses also bore on his battle shield the red Magen David (double dalet) design with the two base lines in a vertical formation. The Star of Miriam on her drum was the white Magen David (double mem) with the base lines horizontal. The Star of Miriam is the modern Magen David on the Israeli flag and were the rose Magen Davids of the Tabernacle and Temple. The red Magen was also called the Magen Abraham based on his title of Dudimu in Egypt. His wife Sarai had the white Rose as her emblem.

Sheshen-Yuab also means heart of the rose. Yeb or yuab meaning heart in Egyptian. The name Sheshi is associated with Mayebre (see the heart of Ra) and Yakubher with Meruserre (Beloved Power of Ra). The Stone of Jacob in Egyptian is sheshet yuab. Shesh-t means a white precious stone and yuab heart. This is a confused Egyptian telling of the story of Jacob’s vision of the heart of heaven while sleeping with his head on the Stone (shesh-t). The stone as shesh-t is in the shape of the final mem which is similar to the hieroglyphic ‘m’. The stone as cap-stone is benben and is shaped like the triangular mem. There is some discussion in the Jewish tradition whether the stone tablets of the 10 commandments were in the shesh-t form of the square or rectangular mem or the benben form of the triangular mem. It is quite possible that one of the tablets was in the square shesh-t form and the other in the triangular and pyramidal form. The shesh-t is the foundation or base stone called in Hebrew ‘yesod’ and the benben is the cap-stone of the pyramid. The square base of the pyramid and the triangular sides and cap stone represent this mystery of the two mems and two dalets.

The understanding of the dynasties of Egypt as commonly accepted by academia are a muddled concoction of 12th Dynasty invention mixed with Manetho’s artificial lengthening of Egypt’s antiquity plus the theories of 18th and 19th century Egyptologists. Velikovsky first drew attention to the problems of Egyptian Chronology and many others have followed in his footsteps. The figure of Joseph is important in a reevaluation of the history of Egypt. The so-called 4th, 5th, 6th, and 11th dynasties are in reality Josephite dynasties or what I called the Rose Dynasty. The third Dynasty’s so-called Pharaoh Netjerkhet was in fact Joseph . Joseph (born 1866 BC) was known also as Imhotep, Djoser, Redji, Inyotef, Zaphanat Paneat or Zatenef Ipiankhu, Djedi and Djedefre. He was also called Temu as the priest of On (Heliopolis) which position he inherited from his wife Asenath’s adopted father-in-law the Priest of On (Annu). He was the Great Architect of the whole pyramid complex which he initiated and oversaw until his death in 1756 BC.

Abraham was in Egypt at the time of the so-called 1st dynasty in the time of Pharaoh Den in 2044 BC. This dynasty was descended from Abraham’s ancestors Reu and Sargon. Abraham (b.2124 BC d. 1949 BC) was known to them as Dudimu or Thoth and Sarah as the beautiful Seshen (Lotus Lily). Hagar was Pharaoh’s daughter. The Pharaoh of Joseph’s time was the 2nd Dynasty Pharaoh Khasekhemwy (reigned c.1850-20 BC) who was originally called Khasekhem but when Joseph and Jacob appeared in Egypt he adapted it to Khasekhemwy which means ‘The Two Powerful Ones Appear’. The 2nd dynasty was the House of Sekhem and was founded by Hotepsekhemwy (Sekhem-kha) who was a great noble in 1st Dynasty Egypt and a descendant of Khaba brother of Reu. The name Sekhem or Sakham means ‘Son of the Sun’. Khasekhem or Kasakham means ‘likeness of the son of the sun’. His grandson Pharaoh Nynetjer (reigned c.1903-1877 BC) mounted an expedition to Canaan which the Egyptians called the Land or House of the North and the city of Shalem they called Shem-re. Nyntjer’s son Khamor the Serpentine was made the Egyptian Prince of this region of Canaan which they named Sekhem in honour of the dynasty. Khamor also named his son Sekhem (or Shekhem) who was the father of Asenath. Khamor was the brother of Pharoah Sekhemib (reigned c.1877-1850 BC) who later took the name Seth-Peribsen and was succeeded eventually by his son Khasekhem. After Dinah gave birth to Asenath, Jacob sought to protect her by sending her to her father’s Egyptian relatives. The Pharoah entrusted his infant niece to the care of the High priest of An (On / Heliopolis). Khasekhemwy was succeeded as Pharaoh by his son Pharaoh Khaba (reigned c.1820-1813 BC) by Queen Namaathap. Pharaoh Khaba married Sheshet a sister or daughter of Phares son of Judah.

The 4th Dynasty was the Josephite dynasty of Ephraim, centred in Abydos in Upper Egypt and they were the coordinators of the Pyramid project which was a great work to reveal the sacred realm in a mirror image on the earth connected with the figure of Orion and the River of the Milky Way. Nasi Ephraim is the father of Nasu Seneferu Lord of Abydos and his brother Nasi Manesseh is Nasu Mentuhotep ancestor of the Memphite 6th Dynasty and the Elephantine 5th dynasty and the Theban 11th dynasty. Their sister Intkaes (Anatkawes/Khenut) married Meriyibre Khety (also called Unas) a son of Hezron (Huni). Joseph’s two grandaughter’s by Intkaes Priestess of Annu and Chantress of Amon were called the White Rose and the Red Rose. Sesheshet-Neferu the White Rose married Montuhotep (Manesseh) and her sister Khentkawes (Iput) the Red Rose married Inyotef-Teti (Ankhtify) of Hierakonpolis, his son. Their brother was Neferkare I who ruled in Heraklepolis in Lower Egypt. Inyotef (Joseph) Teti (Ankhtify) led an army against Thebes and his brother Inyotef Wahankh was installed as Nasu of Thebes during the reign of Neferkare III of the House of Khety and he married Neferu the sister of Neferkare III.

Inyotef Wahankh’s sister Meryinyotef (‘beloved of Joseph’) married Khufu (Khapa/ Cheops) Prince of Abydos and Giza (1685-1662) the son of Senefru ( son of Ephraim) Prince of Abydos and Giza (1710-1685). In Hebrew Panei means face (Panim means faces) and in Aramaic face is Apei. Paneah means ‘Face of God’ and Ipiankhu means ‘the face of life’. Khapa (Khufu) means ‘likeness of the faces’. Seneferu Efrayim means ‘son of the beautiful face (or nose) of Ra’. Khafre was the son of Khufu. Khafre or Chephren (1654-1632) means ‘likeness of Efrayim’ or ‘likeness of the nose (or face) of Ra’. Ra is Jacob the one who wrestled and beheld God faces to faces. Khafre’s son was Shepseskare Prince of Abydos and Giza (1632-1625). Djedefre (1662-1654) is ‘He who is the face (or nose) of Ra’. Djedefre’s son was Neferefre Prince of Abydos and Giza (1625-1618). Neferefre was the father of Djedkare-Isesi Prince of Abydos and Giza (1681-1642). Djedkare was the last Hebrew Prince of Abydos and Giza who was defeated by Pharoah Amenemhet I. Around 1566 when Pharaoh Mentuhotep IV fled Egypt Djedkare retreated to the south to Giza. After their defeated by Amenemhet many of the Ephraimites left Egypt to joined their Ephraimite brothers already settled in Lebanon and Palestine. The Philistines in Gaza allied themselves with Amenemhet and massacred many of the Ephramites. Shepseskare’s brothers were Niuserre and Menkaure. Niuserre (1618-1587) means ‘possessed of Ra’s power’. Menkaure (1587-1581) means ‘Eternal Likeness of Ra’. Menkaure’s son was Shepseskaf (Ptahshepses) Prince of Abydos and Giza (1581-1577) and Vizier under his uncle/father-in-law Niuserre Prince of Abydos. Shepseskaf’s wife Khamaat was also called Khamerenebty (Likeness of the beloved Lady) daughter of Niuserre. Menkaure’s wife Khentkaes was also called Khamerenebty.

Heman or Hemon was also a Zerahite Vizier in Egypt and the architect of the Great Pyramid. That the genealogy in Chronicles does refer to the Zerahites we see in 1 Kings 4 that the Zerahites as also called Ezrahites. "For he was wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was known in all the surrounding nations." Mahol the son of Zerah was called Nefermaat by the Egyptians and his wife Atet or Itet was a daughter of the son of Ephraim who was known to the Egyptians as Sneferu. Mahol(Mehu) Nefermaat was the husband of the eldest daughter of Sneferu, but Egyptologists believe he is the son rather than the son-in-law of Sneferu. He was also a Vizier of Egypt. The Petrie Museum website states: "The vizier was in almost all periods the head of the administration. The title king's son might mean that Nefermaat was really the son of a king, but there are many examples, especially from the Old Kingdom, where the title was honorific. In the Egyptian language, 'son' could also mean grandson or even great-grandson. Because of the importance of Nefermaat, which can be seen at his huge tomb, he is often regarded as real son of king Snefru. However there is no proof for that." Heman's son Merari (Mereruka) was also a Vizier of Egypt to Inyotef Teti and was the father of Mered (Meriteti) also a Vizier of Pepi I Meryre.

Sneferu son of Ephraim married Hetepheres the daughter of Huni (Hezron) and granddaughter of Phares ha Nasi. Meryret was the daughter of Pharaoh Khaba and his Hebrew wife Sheshet sister of Phares haNasi (b.1830 BC) and daughter of Judah and Tamar. Meryret was the wife of Huni (Hezron). Khaba was succeeded by his son-in-law Hezron as Pharaoh Huni (reigned c.1780-1760 BC). Huni married Intkaes the youngest child of Joseph and Asenath. Huni was succeeded by his son Meriyibre Khety Unas (reigned c.1760-1737 BC). Joseph (Djedi) died during his reign aged 110. His son Neferkare I Akhety (reigned c. 1737-1730). He was succeeded by his brother Nebkaure Akhety (reigned c. 1730-1725 BC). Nebkaure was succeeded by his son Neferkare II Akhety (reigned c. 1725-1720) also called Kaneferre. He was succeeded by his cousin Neferkare III Akhety (reigned c.1720-1715 BC). He was succeeded by his son Userkaf (reigned c.1715-1707 BC). Userkaf was succeeded by his son Sahure (reigned c. 1707-1693 BC). He was succeeded by his brother-in-law Kalkol as Pharaoh Neferirkare (reigned c.1693-1689 BC) the Egyptian Governor and founder of Athens in Greece where clans from the tribes of Dan and Gad had already settled. His brother Darda (Dardanus) settled on the western coast of Turkey (Ionia) with many of the clans of the Zarahites or Ezrahites. Clans of Ephraim settled in Lebanon (Phoenica) and Palestine (Canaan).

Neferirkare was succeeded as Pharaoh by his cousin Inyotef I of Thebes (1689-1650) son of Mentuhotep I(Manesseh son of Joseph). Inyotef I was succeeded by his brother Inyotef II Wahankh (1650-1599). He was succeeded by his son Inyotef III (1598- 1589). Inyotef III's son Montuhotep II succeeded him as the Nasi of Thebes. He reigned as Prince of Thebes for 50 years and as Pharaoh for 11 years (reigned 1589-1578). His son Mentuhotep III (reigned c.1578-1566 BC) succeeded him as Pharaoh. His son Mentuhotep IV (1566-1560) reigned only six years and then fled Egypt in ships for the Egyptian colonies with many of his followers. He was usurped by his Vizier Amenemhet whose mother was the daughter of Pharaoh Sahure and his father Senusret a native Egyptian.

Amenemhet I reigned from 1560 but dated his reign from 1566 ignoring the reign of Mentuhotep IV. He was the first Pharaoh of the Dynasty that knew not Joseph. He was succeeded by his son Senusret I (reigned c.1535-1500 BC). His son Amenemhet II (reigned c.1500-1470 BC) succeeded him. In his reign Moses’ father Amram the Priest of An and Amon of Hebron entered Egypt. Amenemhet II was succeeded by his son-in law Senusret II (reigned c.1470-1453 BC). Moses adopted mother was Princess Mereret Tamaat (Merris Tarmut) Neferu the daughter of Senusret II and his wife Queen Neferet daughter of Pharaoh Amenemhet II. Moses was born in 1460 BC in the reign of Senusret II. Moses mother became Queen Mereret when her father died and her husband and half-brother Senusret III (reigned c. 1453-1416 BC) became Pharaoh when Moses (Prince Dudumose) was seven. At 20 years of age in the 12th Year of his adopted father Senusret III he led the Egyptians into Nubia (Ethiopia) and as a result of his victories he was made co-ruler with Senusret III as Amenemhet III. He left Egypt about 1420 and left his son by his Egyptian wife with his adopted Mother. On the death of Senusret III Moses’ son Amenemhet IV became Pharaoh and Mereret became the Regent as Sobekneferu. Amenemhet IV removed to Thebes on his grandmother’s death and his descendants continued there until they once again ruled Egypt as the 17th and 18th Mosaic Dynasties. Many have in recent years realised that the Pharoah of the Exodus must be from the 13th Dynasty as first proposed by Velikovsky. Some claim that Dudimose or Dudumose (Tutimaos/Thothmose) was the Pharoah of the Exodus. In fact this was the name of Moses who was also as a general called Mer-meshoi and then as co-Pharoah Amenemhet III. Neferhotep replaced Amemenhet IV and he was succeeded by his brother Sobekhotep IV. Most of the 13th Dynasty Pharoahs were contemporary with the 12th Dynasty and it is the 13th Dynasty Pharoah Sobekhotep IV Khaneferre who is the Pharoah of the Exodus. It is said that he married one of the Princesses descended from Senusret III. The Exodus occurred around 1380-75 BC. The Israelites entered the Promised Land around 1345.

Joseph is also known as Djoser Ateti and Netjerkhet. Ateti can also be written Adedi or Teti or Dedi or Thoth or Tuti or Dodi. Thus Djoser Ateti is the same as Yosef haDodi – Joseph the Beloved. The word kawes or kaes is kalleh (bride) in Hebrew. The name Intkaes or Anatkawes means the Bride of Heaven (Nut) and the name Netjerkhet can mean the Divine Body or the divine Bridegroom (Khatan). The House of Akhety is thus the House of the Bridegroom. Asenut (also called Anath) means the beloved of the sky goddess Nut. This beloved of Nut is also called Isis. The As in Asenath is Isis. The Egyptians called Asenath Isis and the Ephraimite Phoenicians called her Anath. Isis is the Egyptian version of the promised Isha of Genesis 3:15 and her seed the Zera is associated with Sirius (zerius) which is Osirus in Egypt. In Sumer Henoch is known as Anu or Anum and is also associated with the Zera (Seed) and the constellation of the Divine Man Sirius or Orion. His wife and daughter-in-law were both called Edna or Edni (Edinah or Dinah) and were seen as types of the promised Isha. The mother of Abraham was also called Edna. This term Edni or Etni meant a priestess-princess in ancient Sumer. Cain’s son Henoch is also called Enki in Sumer and is called Anubis in Egypt. The name Kaleb or Kawab means the soul (or likeness) of the heart and is also Geb (Gaweb/Galeb) the earth God of Egypt represented by the phallus. This is Yesod or Brit in the Jewish understanding of the Sefirot. The Egyptian Ennead of nine gods is a corruption of the the Jewish and Enochian understanding of the Attributes (Sefirot). Kaleb was a descendant of Phares Judah and he married the Ephraimite Hetepheres (Efrata) daughter of Khufu. He also married Miriam daughter of the Vizier Mered of Zerah Judah. Jewish tradition relates that King David was a descendant of this Caleb and Miriam. Their daughter Shoshana married Amram (Anbaram) of Levi.

Further revision of the datings of the ancient world also need to be taken into account. The date usually given for the destruction of the First Temple of Solomon today in 586 BC whereas Jewish sources say 422-5 BC- in fact I believe it is around 460-5 BC. Solomon lived in the 9th century BC not the tenth. The First Temple was built around the 860 BC. I believe the datings of the Exodus in the 13th dynasty, Solomon in the 18th dynasty and the time of the Babylonian Exile in the 19th dynasty by Velikovsky to be correct. However I believe Velikovsky's dates have to be revised down as he accepted the 586 BC dating of the Destruction of the the First Temple. I believe that originally Jewish authorities dated the Temple to around 460 BC but later adjusted it by 40 years so that the 490 years ended at the destruction of the Second Temple rather than the crucifixion of Jesus. Thus Rameses II lived in the 5th century BC.

It would seem that recent testing of the DNA of the mummy of Tutankhamun and the mummies of other 18th Dynasty royals have demonstrated that Tutankhamun and his grandfather Amenhotep III belong to R1b1a2 a haplogroup found commonly in Western Europe. This has caused a great upset in certain circles. However those who accept the revision of Egyptian history suggested by the Jewish genius Immanuel Velikovsky should not be surprised. It would seem that Zahi Hawass is also hiding more results that don't fit with accepted Eygptologists theories. Reading through all the discussions it would seem that there is a break in the Y-dna of the 18th Dynasty. One article on Wikipedia states that the dna evidence shows Thutmose III is not the son of Thutmose II. However reading the study the article references this doesn't seem to be what it says. However I do believe there may be a break in the y-dna line and that Amenhotep II is not the natural son of Thutmose III but his relative and adopted son.

Velikovsky and Isaac Newton stated that Thutmose III was the Pharoah Shishak mentioned in the Bible who sacked Jerusalem in the 5th year of the reign of King Rehoboam the son of King Solomon. Velikovsky also in his book "Ages in Chaos" associated the Queen of Sheba with Queen Hatshepsut who was the aunt, step mother and regent for Thutmose III. Egyptologists state that Thutmose II who was the husband of Hatshepsut was also the father of Thutmose III by another wife Iset. We know that Queen Hatshepsut had a sister Nefrubity who disappears from Egyptian history and is assumed to have died young by many Egyptologists. However some who follow Velikovsky believe that she was the Royal Egyptian wife of King Solomon. I propose that Amenhotep II (Prince Siamun) is in fact the young cousin of Thutmose III who was brought back to Egypt with his mother at the time of his raid on Egypt and with the death of his own son Amenemhat made him his heir. Thutmose III married his aunt who now took the name Hatshepsut-Merytre in honour of her older sister. Thus Amenhotep II became the step son of Thutmose III. Amenhotep II's brother (or nephew) may have been Yuya also a son (or grandson) of Solomon (who was also called Yedidiya)and his Egyptian wife. Amenhotep II was married to his cousin Tia (Tamar)the beautiful daughter of Prince Absalom of Israel.

Thus Amenhotep II and his descendants are of the same y-dna as the Davidic Royal House. Elsewhere I have discussed the Davidic y-dna as R1b1a2-L21. It is therefore interesting that the y-dna of Tutankhamun, his father (some believe his father was Akhenaten others his brother Smenkare) and grandfather Amenhotep III are R1b1a2. Amenhotep II also had a son called Userstatet the King's Son of Kush who may have been the Zerah the Cushite (Ethiopian) of the Bible. It is also possible that he was the ancestor of the Ethiopian Solomonic Dynasty. Userstatet's father is also called Siamun which is the Egyptian version of Solomon. Bathsheba the mother of Solomon was the daughter of Prince Siamun of Egypt (called Ammiel in Hebrew)and she called her son after her father. Egyptologists list Siamun as the brother of Amenhotep I. Also at this time there was a Lector-Priest called Siamun whose mother was called the chantress Amenhotep. Bathsheba's father Siamun converted to the Israelite faith and took the name Ammiel or Eliam. The pagan son of Amon (si-amun) becomes part of the People of God (ammiel). Bathsheba as a daughter of convert parents from the Egyptian Royal family firstly marries the converted Hittite General Uriah. Solomon as a son of a mother of Royal Egyptian origin is considered a suitable husband for Pharoah's Daughter. It is also possible that Lady Tuya (the wife of Lord Yuya)was a daughter of Lord Menna and his wife Princess Henuttawi. Lord Menna was the grandson of Prince Nathan of Israel (a full brother of King Solomon). Menna's tomb can be found in Egypt.

Hatshepsut is identified as the Queen of Sheba who is also called the Queen of the South and Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia. She in fact was the High Queen and Priestess of an advanced southern hemisphere Empire that included Southern Africa, Australia, South America and India. She is a cousin of Bathsheba the Queen Mother of Israel and Tamar Queen of Geshur. This Empire is known as the Red Empire (Rhoda /Rudra /Ruda /Riata/ Ruadh). The city of Rhoda in North America is named for this Empire as is Dal Riata in Ireland and Scotland. It was also known as Mu, Lemuria, Amu, Marutz as it was settled by descendants of Aram. The name Rudra is associated with Mars and is one of the Hindu Gods and the name Marutz is the origin of the name Mars (Ares). The Celtic God Rudiobus is also associated with Mars.

The greater Australian continent was bombarded with missiles (meteors?) from some celestial events involving Mars the Red planet. The red dust of inland Australia reminds one of the red planet. The South West of Western Australia was the Land of Kedar and the Kedarites later settled in Arabia. It is from here that the Kedarites famous frankincense came made from the Australian Sandalwood tree. The Kedarite Queens of Arabia were descended from these Queen-Priestesses of Dinah (Diana/ Dana).

The gold bearing central and Northern Western Australia is called Sheba and Dedan. For a long period Western Australia (which was larger before the cataclysmic events sunk much of the coastlands into the sea) was separated from Arabia and India by a volcanic wall of fire in a strait called the Sabbaton. The black aborigine population of Australia were descendants of Ham's called Sheba and Dedan. Later the white sons of Joktan settled in Sheba and Dedan and this was the first home of Job (called Uz or Oz). Uz was a son of Aram. The port city of Ophir (Perth) was also in south-west Australia in the region called Send or Sheba while the Northern part which was connected to Sri Lanka and Indonesia was called Hend (Havilah). It is also possible that the fiery Sabbaton River was the water separating Hend and Send. Some of the 10 lost tribes headed south from Iran (possibly via India)and settled in Western Australia (original Kedar) around 400 BC joining the remnants of the Ephraimite Phoenician /Egyptian colonists whose Empire had been destroyed by the conflict with Mars mentioned by Velikovsky. Further destruction occurred around 540 AD when some kind of meteors hit off the Northern coast of Australia ushering in the Dark Ages in Europe and the end of the Arthurian Empire.

Hatshepsut was the daughter of Queen Ahmose who married the Egyptian Pharoah called Thutmose I. Ahmose was the daughter of Shiva (Rudra/Kedar/Kedarnath)who was remembered in India as a God and his wife Makeda (also known as Chandika /Kandake). The Ephraimite Phoenicians and Egyptians had settled in Western Australia before 1400 BC were ruled by their Queen -Priestesses of the daughters of Dinah and Asenath and a Zerahite Egyptian Governor descended from Hemon. Shiva was this Royal Governor or King of Kedar/Sheba descended from the Red Branch of Zerah-Judah (Dyeus /Zeus /Jupiter).

Using the actual ydna rates found in R1b families and also taking into account Immanuel Velikovsky's redating of King Tutankhamen's Dynasty to the ninth century BC fits the evidence of a later date much better. This is confirmed by the Radio Carbon datings of artifacts in Tutankhamen's tomb. As Velikovsky wrote: "...In 1971, or seven years later, the British Museum processed palm kernels and mat reed from the tomb of Tutankhamen. The resulting dates, as Dr. Edwards, Curator of the Egyptian Department of the British Museum, wrote to the University of Pennsylvania radiocarbon laboratory, were -899 for the palm kernels and -846 for the mat reed...".

Thus I would date R1b1a2 to between 3,000-4,000 years ago in Ancient Israel. I would also date its parent R1b to about 4000 years ago. A large grouping of R1b1a2 moved in to the Caucasus Mountain region of Assyria about 2,500 years ago and from here moved in different waves into Europe across the Russian (Scythian) steppes. Tutankhamun received his R1b1a2 dna from King Solomon (who married an Egyptian Princess)who lived about 150 years before Tutankhamun according to Velikovsky. Thus his ydna would most likely be R1b1a2-L21 which I believe is the ydna signature of the Royal Davidic House. This does not mean that Tutankhamun looked like a red-haired Scotsman or like his red-haired ancestor King David. However in the mummies of this dynasty there is evidence of red and blonde hair in the Royal family and their ancestors. One's racial features come from the mix of all one's ancestors not just the ancestry of one's father's direct male line.

Thus Tutankhamun reigned from about 690-680 BC when King Joash was King of Judah. His grandfather Amenhotep III reigned from about 750-710 BC around the time of Kings Jehoshaphat and Jehoram of Judah. Akhnaten lived during the reigns of Kings Jehoram, Ahaziah and Joash as well as Queen Athaliah. Thutmose III who died around 780 BC in the reign of King Rehoboam son of King Solomon. Solomon's son by the Egyptian Princess Nefrubity (later Queeen Hapshepsut-Meryte of Egypt wife of Thutmose III)Amenhotep II (formerly Prince Siamun)reigned from about 780-760 BC. Amenhotep II's brother may have been Prince Yeh or Yeho who was the father of Lord Yuya (Yedidiya)) and Lady Mutemwiya (who married her cousin Thutmose IV).Thutmose IV (died c.750) was the father of Amenhotep III.

Another of Amenhotep II's son Usersatet King's Son of Kush was the ancestor of the later Kushite (Nubian) dynasty that ruled Egypt. Piye or Piankhi of the 25th Dynasty is the same person as Piankhi of the the 23rd dynasty. He reigned about 650-620 BC around the time of King Uzziah of Judah. His son Shabaka reigned from about 620-605 BC. Another son was Pinedjiem I of the so-called 21st Dynasty who was the High Priest of Amun and Thebes. Another son the Pharoah Tarhaka was the ancestor of the later Kings of Kush/Nubia beginning with his son Atlanersa who died around 640 BC. Piye or Piankhi was the son of the Kushite (Nubian) Kashta whose parents were Amenhotep-Huy King of Kush and Nefer daughter of Tutankhamun. Piankhi married Hrere the daughter of Horemheb (also identified with Herihor).

Rameses XI has been confused with Rameses I (Necho I). Tentamun (Tia-Sitre) daughter of the priest Nebseni married Rameses. Tentamun's grandmother was Tamosi (Tamar/ Tia). Tentamun was named in honour of Pharoah Tantamani who reigned from about 565-555 BC. Their daughter Duathathor-Henuttawi married Pinedjem II High Priest of Amun (a grandson of Pinedjem I). Another daughter also called Tentamun (Tia-Sitre) married Smendes I of Lower Egypt. Pinedjem I's granddaughter Maatkare (daughter of Psusennes I High Priest of Amun) married Osorkon son of Shoshenk.

After the reign of Tantamani Egypt was invaded by Libyan (Berber/Meshwesh/Milesian) tribesmen led by Shoshenk and he was succeeded by his son Orsokon who married the daughter of the High Priest of Amun. Egyptologists state: "...At some unknown point in his reign, Seti I defeated Libyan tribesmen who had invaded Egypt's western border. Although defeated, the Libyans would pose an ever increasing threat to Egypt during the reigns of Merenptah and Ramesses III. The Egyptian army also put down a minor “rebellion” in Nubia in the 8th year of Seti I. Seti himself did not participate in it although his Crown Prince, the future Ramesses II, may have...". It would seem that the Egyptologists as usual have totally muddled this dynasty and created shadow Pharoahs. The later so-called Pharoah of the Libyan dynasties are in fact local rulers and High Priests of Thebes. These Libyan rulers descend from the Sokho or Sokar (Osorkon) and would seem to be connected to the Milesians in Egypt. The Battle of Kadesh in the time of Seti I (Psamtik) and Rameses II (Necho) was at the end of the reign of King Josiah of Judah.

Rameses II's son was Seti II (also called Psamtik)who reigned from about 445-439 BC and was the father of Apries (who was also called Merenptah Siptah and Hophra) who reigned from about 439-435 BC. As mentioned previously the so-called Rameses XI was in fact Rameses I. Rameses IX is the same person as Amenmesses (Amasis II) whose mother was Princess Takhat a daughter or granddaughter of Rameses II. It would seem that Amasis (Rameses IX)reigned from 435-410 BC. His son Rameses X is the same person as Psamtik III (Seti III) who may have been the Persian Governor of Egypt under Arsames according to Velikovsky.

Velikovsky identified Rameses III with Nectanebo I and his son Rameses VI with Nectanebo II. Rameses III's father Setnakht can be identified with Psamtik III (Seti III). It is also interesting that in the Gaelic Milesian legends the Pharoah is also called Nectanebo the father of Scota (Sukkota /Asenath). Rameses III's mother was Queen Tia (Tamara) daughter of Prince Nilius of the Milesians and Princess Asenath (Sukkota/Isnetnofret) of Judah (daughter of Zedekiah). Asenath's sister Tamar (Tia)was the mother of Nathan the Red (Nuadha) who was also known as Rudamon and Nepherites (Nefaarud) who overthrew Persian rule in Upper Egypt around 400-395 BC in the reign of Ahaseurus (around 406-392 BC) the son of Darius the Mede and husband of Queen Esther. These daughters of Zedekiah fled to Egypt with Jeremiah the prophet after 460 BC. Rameses III's wife was also a Jewess called Asenath (Iset/Isis)whose mother may have been Tamar (Tia/Tyti/ Ta-Hemdjert) the wife of Nathan the Red. They were the parents of Rameses IV (Teos) and Rameses VI (Nectanebo II).

Cambyses's conquest of Egypt was around 410-405 BC. Cambyses was the son of Cyrus (reigned around 410-405). Confusion has resulted in the faculty datings of the Kings of Persia. There is no Cambyses I and II but one Cambyses who was the son of Cyrus (there is no Cyrus II either). The Libyan or Milesian rulers of Egypt battled against Persian rule and eventually most of the R1b descendants left Egypt for Libya and the western part of North Africa eventually settling in Spain for a time before moving to Ireland and Britain beginning in the 3rd century BC.

Chachapoyas: the Cloud Warriors of Peru

2011-12-10T14:24:00.000-08:00

I wrote about the Chachpoyas in my blog article about King Arthur and the Comet. Sarah Shepherd on September 20 wrote in her article "Ancient European Races of the World Show up in Places though Impossible". "The Chachapoya were an Andean people of Peru thought to have inhabited the land around 800 AD. A tall, white race with blonde hair who built great structures high up in the mountains, they were known to the Inca as the "Cloud People".

Conquered by the Inca just years before the Spanish conquistadors arrived, the remaining Chachapoya were absorbed into and ruled by the Incan Empire.

The Chachapoya did not leave behind any written record. What is known of them comes from accounts like the one from Spanish chronicler Pedro Cieza de Leon who noted the Chachapoya were very white, that the men were handsome, the women were beautiful and that they were a gentle group of people.

DNA testing on the mummies they left behind showed the Chachapoya have markers that are associated with Europeans..."

I have seen that a few other websites also mention that the Chachapoyas have European markers but haven't as yet found any confirmation for this. I suspect that the later Chachapoyas population would have mixed origins with only a remnant of the original dna that would be related to European dna. It would seem that there is a campaign to hide the results of the dna of the Chachapoyas and to downplay the white origins of these people. There is today a racism in reverse in much of academia.

Evolution Debate

2011-12-08T08:41:00.001-08:00

Early this year I had a rather heated debate with a Catholic on the Hebrew Catholic Discussion Board who is also a staunch evolutionist. He is a lovely man and very intelligent but on this issue he seems unable to discuss without resorting to anger and name calling. I felt some of my readers would find my end of the discussion interesting.

"I read recently that the chimp dna had finally been fully sequenced and the
article I read claimed that it found 4% not 2% differences as previously held by
scientists. And this study says 5%.

http://www.pnas.org/content/99/21/13633.full

I wonder what the next study will say. Common design explains these similarities
and differences just as well if not better than any evolutionary theories."

"And I forgot to add this one which states that the similarities are only 86.7.

http://www.pnas.org/content/100/13/7708.abstract .."

"...I read recently a study that has shown that human dna is not so
close to chimp dna as once thought and that in fact pigs have a closer dna. So
maybe we evolved from pig-like creatures rather than ape-like creatures.
Scientists are still arguing all these things and genetics is still in its
infancy days. Theories have come and gone rapidly over the last ten years in
this field alone.

Of course those of us who don't accept evolution expect that human and
other living creatures will have a great degree of dna in common but that is not
because one evolved from the other but because we live in the same environment.
If we didn't then we would be unable to eat plants or animals- they would be
poison to us.

I would have no problem as a believer in God accepting that God could
have make the original matter out of nothing and then formed all that is in the
world through an evolutionary process from that original creation ex nihilo (is
that not also magical creationism- creation ex nihilo- I'm sure the atheists
would think so). However I do not accept the evolutionary process as taught
by Darwin because I see no evidence that that was how it happened. How God
formed all things from the original ex nihilo creation matter is where we have
disagreements. We all know that the Bible states that God formed man out of the
dust of the earth so even your so called fundamentalist creationists believe man
came from preexisting materials that God formed. Thus we know that everything in
our living environment was formed by God from what he originally created ex
nihilo- How he did it - using evolution or some other process is where we
disagree. I don't think many of us believe God just popped man and the animals
etc out of the air with no connection to anything else (not least that we all
share the one Creator whose Divine Will upholds all things). Our whole
environment and world has a deep inter-connection on both a material and
spiritual level.

By the way I can't see that your analogy of the automobile is
any more apt than the yunkyard- both refer to inanimate things not living. It is
the ideas and thoughts of the Designer that evolve not the automobiles which do
not evolve from each other. I also wonder what part you do believe God played in
the evolutionary process or do you believe he just sets things going with the
Big bang and everything developed without any imput from God? That is the
impression I get from what you write. Please correct me if this isn't so. I do
not believe it is necessary to talk about God in the science class but then I
don't believe he should be excluded either. However any decision by American
courts to exclude creationism doesn't impress me either as they desire to
exclude God and religion totally from schools..."

"...No you didn't quote to me the latest findings at all- they were the opinion of
evolutionary scientists of the 1970's which has since around 2000 been
challenged by the gradual full sequencing of the chimp dna and comparing it with
the human. In the 1960's they tried to use primate organs as transplants in
humans but it didn't work, they have had much more success with pig organs.

You might like to read this study about the pig dna.

http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/Sequencing/SeqProposals/PorcineSEQ021203.pd\
By the way I never referred you to any religious or creationist sources only
scientific research papers (evolutionary ones who I don't even agree with).

I freely confess I do have a religious prejudice- I 100% believe in God and
that he created all that is and that he upholds all constantly through his
Divine Will present in all things. I do believe that creatures and the
mathematical laws reveal evidence of an intelligent designer/creator. I believe
in both faith and reason. I do believe that cars and animals and humans and
rocks have an intelligent designer and that they didn't come to be through blind
chance of evolutionary forces swirling around in a primordial soup. Every aspect
of the Universe was carefully and loving designed and created by God- if he did
this through an evolutionary process or a common design process or some other
manner I don't understand at this stage- then I am happy to accept that. So far
everything I have read supporting evolution is flimsy and can just as easily be
explained by common design.

I have seen the bigotry and prejudice of the scientific and academic
establishment to those who question their ideas- one can read how badly they
treated Velikovsky who questioned the accepted science and history of the day-
later on many things he was proven to be correct regarding things like space not
being a vacuum, that it had radio waves, the temperature of Venus and its
opposite rotation to the other planets, that the last Ice Age wasn't 15,000,000
years ago etc. And Velikovsky wasn't a creationist but a fellow evolutionist-
but not the kind they approved of at that time. I also know of the many
Australian Aboriginal people who were murdered because the Darwinian
evolutionary science of the 19th century decreed them to be inferior and sub
human and thus Ok to exterminate like an animal that had become a pest- it was
only the churches that insisted they were fully human and descendants of Adam
and Eve and fought to protect them..."

"...By the way I did read the Wikipedia article as you said. and I found this.

"The draft sequence of the common chimpanzee genome published in the summer 2005
showed the regions that are similar enough to be aligned with one another
account for 2400 million of the human genome's 3164.7 million bases[21] – that
is, 75.8% of the genome. This 75.8% of the human genome is 1.23% different from
the chimpanzee genome in single nucleotide polymorphisms[21] (changes of single
DNA "letters" in the genome). Another type of difference, called indels
(insertions/deletions) account for another ~3 % difference between the alignable
sequences.[21] In addition, variation in copy number of large segments (> 20 kb)
of similar DNA sequence provides a further 2.7% difference between the two
species.[22] Hence the total similarity of the genomes could be as low as about
70%."

I also read this; "The human genome was sequenced using a hierarchical shotgun
method which can deal with duplications and difficult-to-assemble sequences
better than the whole genome shotgun method that was used for the chimpanzee
draft genome. The human genome was used as a template for the assembly of the
draft chimpanzee genome, on the assumption that the two genomes would be
similar." How on earth is it unprejudiced science when they assume that chimp
and human dna will be similar just because some evolutionary theory of the past
said they are.

The article goes on to take other factors in to account to raise the percentage
of similarity with humans and still they can only come to 5% not 2% as you claim
and as they claimed for 30 odd years. " The overall sequence divergence between
humans and chimpanzees for example is close to 5% if indels would be included."

What I understood from this that there actually has never been any real
comparison of the full human and chimp genomes without filling in with the
assumptions of evolutionary theories. Some science!!!!! It is science mixed with
philosophical assumptions and even then they can't stretch it back to the 2% so
boldly claimed 30 years ago. I guess this is why both Father Jaki and the Pope
stated that evolution is not a fully verified/proven scientific theory. That we
must take this theory seriously and that it is not just any old theory I can
agree with- but from what I can see it is the evolutionists that are using smoke
and mirrors (many of them sincerely as they have been indoctrinated in it and
have formed their whole world view from it)..."

I will leave my final comment in this discussion to Professor Maciej Giertych who stated, "Evolutionists main argument is that there
are small positive (beneficial) mutations which occur in the reproductive cells
and are then retained by natural selection. These mutations, they say,
accumulate and cause one species to gradually change into another. I am a
geneticist and I can confirm that in all the laboratories around the world where
many generations of organisms have been produced, no where have positive
mutations ever been observed. For evolution to occur we need new genes full of
new genetic information. There is no natural process known which will produce
these new genes either by isolation, selection, mutation, or breeding. This is
not possible."

Dinosaurs and Blood Collagen

2011-12-08T07:52:00.001-08:00

Stegosaurus at Angkor wat from 800 years ago

It is amazing how far modern evolutionists will go to not face the truth. I have written before about the blood collagen and soft tissue that scientists have found in dinosaur bones. Instead of coming to the most obvious conclusion which would be that dinosaurs could not have lived millions of years ago, they instead are desperate to find some way to make blood collagen last for millions of years.

An article in "Nature" entitled "Twisted structure preserved dinosaur proteins" discusses one such attempt. "Scientists have discovered how fragments of the protein collagen might have survived in fossilized dinosaur bones. The intertwining, rope-like structure of the molecule, a major component of bone, could have shielded parts of the protein from enzymes and the elements for tens of millions of years, they say. The results, which are published in PLoS ONE1, support the contentious claim that dinosaur proteins have been recovered and sequenced..."

The article continues: "The study is "interesting and plausible, but speculative", says Marshall Bern, a computer scientist at Palo Alto Research Center in California, who has also analysed dinosaur-protein data. "It's hard to extrapolate too far from the little bit of sequence that has been found," he says."Stephen Salzburg is having none of it as he knows that it is impossible for collagen to survive such a long time. However he too cannot accept the obvious conclusion and has to fall back on a equally dubious solution to the dilemma- that the collagen is contaminates from modern species. "...Others are more sceptical. Stephen Salzberg, a geneticist at the University of Maryland in College Park, has already posted a critical comment about the paper at PLoS ONE, saying that the peptides that the team analysed "are contaminants from modern species"...Salzberg says that the oldest verified proteins are bacterial molecules hundreds of thousands of years old found in ice cores. The dinosaur bones are many times older than that, and were found in temperate Idaho. Theoretical predictions and lab experiments suggest that proteins cannot survive for more than a few million years..."

In fact other evolutionary scientists have stated that blood collagen cannot survive much past 30,000 years.Mary Schweitzer who also believes in the evolutionary dating of the dinosaurs disagrees with Salzburg. "...But Schweitzer, who also contributed to the latest study, counters that if the collagen fragments were contaminants, they should have come from random parts of the structure. Instead, they all came from the most protected parts of the microfibril, supporting the idea that they are genuine dinosaur relics...Schweitzer notes that her claims have been supported by two labs besides her own. Furthermore, no collagen was found in sediments around the fossils, as would have been expected if the molecules were contaminants; and the team got positive results when testing the samples using antibodies that stick to collagen and other bone proteins. As well as telling us how dinosaurs lived, Schweitzer believes that work on their proteins could inform the design of more effective and resilient collagen for use in prostheses or medical implants..."Both Salzburg and Schweitzer are right on their area of expertise based on scientific evidence, where both of them go wrong is accepting the fantasies of evolutionary theorists and philosophers about the ages of the dinosaur fossils.

How long will these scientists continue to remain blind to the truth- that evolution is a theory that has passed its used by date. I hope that those studying this and also the latest studies in regard to human, pig and chimpanzee dna will open of few more eyes to the truth.

Proof dinosaurs lived with Man

Sons of Levi and Aaron

2011-11-29T10:16:00.001-08:00

In other articles I have written about R1b-ht-35 being the haplotype of the authentic sons of Levi and Aaron. I have also written of the region of northern
England and southern Scotland as a region of Jewish Christian settlement in Roman times. It would seem that those places that have R1b-ht-35 also have Eb3 and J2. R1b-ht35, Eb3 and J2 are also found among those claiming Levite and Cohen status among Jews today. This represent an influx of Second Temple Jewish diaspora. While those places in which R1b-ht35 is found without Eb3 and J2 are descended from the earlier First Temple Levites and Cohanim before the Samaritan admixture entered among the Israelite families of the sons of Levi in the time of the Maccabees.

"...Research conducted by the administrators of the Border Reivers DNA Project has identified numerous haplotypes in persons of British descent that show Haplotype 35 markers. Moreover, most of these haplotypes appear to originate from areas of Britain near the Antonine Wall, Hadrian's Wall and other places of Roman fortification or settlement. These areas include Galloway, Dumfries, Ayrshire and The Borders in Scotland, and Cumbria, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Shropshire and Staffordshire in England. Many of the Roman troops stationed in these areas came from Southeastern Europe or Western Asia. They included Sarmatians, Dacians, Goths, Syrians, Mesopotamians, Thracians and Anatolians. The Capelli study has shown that these areas also exhibit higher than average frequencies of haplogroups E3b and J2, neither of which is native to Britain. E3b is found most commonly in North Africa, Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Near East,and J2 occurs most frequently in the Near East, the Mediterranean and Western Asia. The fact that all three groups - E3b, J2 and Haplotype 35 - have a similar origin in territories of the Roman Empire, and occur at comparable frequencies in parts of Britain with a known history of Roman settlement, suggests that they arrived in Britain through the same means..."

Note: E3b is also known as E1b1b (E-M215)

Was Hitler a Rothschild?

2011-11-28T13:49:00.000-08:00

One often comes across statements that Adolf Hitler was the paternal grandson of an Ashkenazi Jew. The two main claimants to this are Leopold Frankenberger and one of the Rothschild's family- claims are made for Baron Solomon Mayer Rothschild, Lionel Nathan Rothschild and Nathan Mayer Rothschild. Recent genetic testing on male relatives of Hitler demonstrate that he indeed belongs to E1b1b (E3b) which is common among Ashkenazi Jews. I believe this Levite Samaritan strand entered Judaism in Second Temple Times. It would seem that Frankenberger is the most likely candidate of Hitler's grandfather as proposed by Hans Frank.

The Rothschild's family descended from Amschel Mayer Rothschild belong to J2 ydna which some claim is the Cohen ydna. The legend is that the Rothschild's family descend from Rabbi Mayer (Meir) a grandson of the Emperor Nero. However I believe it is the ydna of the Samaritan convert to Judaism called Zadok who founded the Sadduccean sect of Judaism. J2 Jewish claimants to Cohen status descend from this Samaritan-Jewish Zadok who claimed priestly status. J1 Cohens descend from the Samaritan High priest Ishmael of First Temple Times whose descendants (the Shammaites/Shamerim) also converted to Judaism in the time of the Maccabees. The actual Cohen and Levite lineage coming from Aaron and Levi is R1b-ht35.

Thus I think it is conclusive that Hitler was not a member of the Rothschild's family but Leopold Frankenberger may have been his grandfather.

More on Tutankhamun ydna

2011-11-09T21:43:00.000-08:00

For those who have been following the discussion about the ydna of the Egyptian Pharoah's related to Tutankhamun the following link on CTV News dated 2 August 2011 may be of interest.

http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories/20110802/king-tut-dna-european-110802/

The article discusses how iGenea is offering a ydna test for those interested in finding out if they are closely related to King Tut. Of course they are following the latest evolutionary datings for R1b1a2 that date its genesis back to the Caucasus region around 9,500 years ago and its entry into Europe 7,000 years ago. This is better than the previous datings of R1b and R1b1a2 but still much too old.

Using the actual ydna rates found in R1b families and also taking into account Immanuel Velikovsky's redating of King Tutankhamen's Dynasty to the ninth century BC fits the evidence of a later date much better. This is confirmed by the Radio Carbon datings of artifacts in Tutankhamen's tomb. As Velikovsky wrote: "...In 1971, or seven years later, the British Museum processed palm kernels and mat reed from the tomb of Tutankhamen. The resulting dates, as Dr. Edwards, Curator of the Egyptian Department of the British Museum, wrote to the University of Pennsylvania radiocarbon laboratory, were -899 for the palm kernels and -846 for the mat reed..."

Thus I would date R1b1a2 to between 3,000-4,000 years ago in Ancient Israel. I would also date its parent R1b to about 4000 years ago. A large grouping of R1b1a2 moved in to the Caucasus Mountain region of Assyria about 2,500 years ago and from here moved in different waves into Europe across the Russian (Scythian) steppes. Tutankhamun received his R1b1a2 dna from King Solomon (who married an Egyptian Princess)who lived about 150 years before Tutankhamun according to Velikovsky. Thus his ydna would most likely be R1b1a2-L21 which I believe is the ydna signature of the Royal Davidic House. This does not mean that Tutankhamun looked like a red-haired Scotsman or like his red-haired ancestor King David. However in the mummies of this dynasty there is evidence of red and blonde hair in the Royal family and their ancestors. One's racial features come from the mix of all one's ancestors not just the ancestry of one's father's direct male line.

Note: Further revision of the datings of the ancient world also need to be taken into account. The date usually given for the destruction of the First Temple of Solomon today in 586 BC whereas Jewish sources say 422-5 BC- in fact I believe it is around 460-5 BC. Solomon lived in the 9th century BC not the tenth. The First Temple was built around the 860 BC. I believe the datings of the Exodus in the 13th dynasty, Solomon in the 18th dynasty and the time of the Babylonian Exile in the 19th dynasty by Velikovsky to be correct. However I believe Velikovsky's dates have to be revised down as he accepted the 586 BC dating of the Destruction of the the First Temple. I believe that originally Jewish authorities dated the Temple to around 460 BC but later adjusted it by 40 years so that the 490 years ended at the destruction of the Second Temple rather than the crucifixion of Jesus. Thus Rameses II lived in the 5th century BC.

Niall and the Reconstructed Genealogy

2011-09-14T11:46:00.000-07:00

This genealogy of the ancestors of High King Niall of the Nine Hostages is one that I have reconstructed from the numerous sources taking into account the confusion due to women and men being confused and father-in-laws and son-in-laws being confused with sons and fathers. Also there is often confusion of identity with people whose stories come from two different locations being remembered as two different people rather than one.

1. Niall Mor of the Nine Hostages High King of Ireland
2. Eochaidh (Eochy Moyvone/Yohannan)Mugmedon High King of Ireland married Ciaron (Ciarra) daughter of Mar Chasdai of Spain and Britiain
3. Muiredach (Meir Duach)Tirech High King of Ireland married Aioffe of Gododdyn
4. Eochaidh of Dal Riata married Fiona (Fianna Fiachu)
5. Conaire Mor (Fothad Canaan) of Dal Riata in Alba married Mes Buachalla
6. Lughaidh (Loarne/ Luy Maccon)married Devorah of the Gaeli(Votadini/Fothudain) [brother of Eochaidh Dublein father of the three Collas and father of the three Fothads]
7. Cairbre Lifechair of Riata (Rhuidri/Rhoda/Raida)married Ethne (Edna/Aine) of Scotia daughter of Fionn(Gwyn)of Camelon (Cumhaill)son of Nathaniel III (Nudd/Nathan) Exilarch [Rosh Galuta] of Scotia

Conn of the Hundred Battles is the same as Conchobar and Conaire Mor and Fedlimid is his mother not his father. His father is Eterscel Mor who married the Nessiya (Davidic Princess) Fedlimid daughter of the Scottish Davidic Prince Tuathal Teachtmar (Ptolemy). Eterscel Mor is a son of Yair (Iar)son of the Fisherking (Dagda Adon) Rabbi Meir son of Simeon (Sen/Sin)the son of Adon Glas (Zerah/Rosin).

Nathan the Red or Riada was like his ancestors a Prince of the Rhodan or Rhuda Empire that stretched from the British Isles to the Americas and Australia. Australia was also known as Sinim, Sin or Send. They were known as the Fisher Kings or Lords Dag Adon (Dagda/Dedad/Dedan)an ancient title coming from Sumerian times. The original Rudra was also called Agni (Angus), Kedar and Shiva (Sheba) and his son Kartikeya (Skanda) was the father of Ganesha/ Gindibu (the Governor Gan or Gani of Rhoda). His daughter the Lady Rhiddi married Prince Nathan of Israel (called Narada by the Hindus)who became the Governor of Rhodan Dedan. Nathan's son Mattata was the Fisher King (Dedan) of Rhoda married Princess Nebetiunet of Egypt who became the Queen of Rhoda/Kedar/Sheba. She was the adopted daughter of Thutmose III and the daughter of Queen Merytre-Hapshepsut and King Solomon. Gani's son Heber was the father of Sokar (Sakra). Sokar (Socho) was the father of Indra whose daughter Sena Queen of the Rhodan Empire married Melea (Malai Kilavan) the Fisher King son of Lord Menna of Egypt. Sena was the daughter of Indra and his wife Shuchi or Sachi Queen of Rhodan Sheba. Shuchi was the daughter of Nebeniunet and Mattata. Sena as Queen of Rhodan Kedar was the mother of Zabibe the Kedarite Queen and also the mother of the Nathanite Prince-Governor Eliakim.

Ancestry of Clive Staples Lewis

2011-08-25T11:43:00.000-07:00

Clive Staples Lewis was the author of the Narnia series of children's novels among many other works and a leading Anglican Christian. One website on the internet tries to connect CS Lewis with the Lewis families of Flintshire Wales. Clive and his brother Warren are the children of Albert James Lewis who was born in Cork Ireland in 1863. Albert James Lewis was the son of Richard Lewis who was born about 1832 (possibly in Birmingham, Norley Cheshire or Flintshire Wales).

Richard at the age of 19 went to Cork Ireland with his wife Martha Gee of Liverpool in 1853. He was a boiler maker. His older brother William Lewis was also a boiler maker who married Rosaline West of Norley Cheshire the daughter of Simeon Levi West and Mary Ann Payne (believed to be the granddaughter of George IV and Maria Fitzherbert). Their brothers John and Joseph Lewis were also boiler makers who went with Richard to Ireland. Another brother Samuel (b.1837 Birmingham) was a famous Jewish money lender. Their mother was Jane Lewis the daughter of Richard Lewis of Flintshire Wales. Their father Joseph (born 1803) was an illegitimate son of George IV by his Jewish mistress Mrs Mary Lewis (nee Goldsmith). Richard of Flintshire Wales was born in Norley Cheshire about 1775 and his brother William Lewis married the former mistress of George IV in Brighton. Richard Lewis (b.1775) moved to Wales were he married a local girl called Jane Ellis who was of crypto Jewish background.

Joseph Lewis was brother to Samuel Lewis (b.1801), James Graham Lewis (b.1804), George Coleman Hamilton Lewis (b.1806 Portsmouth) and Mary Ann Lewis (b.1809). Joseph Lewis a son of George IV went as a boy to live with his step-uncle Richard Lewis in Caergwrle Flintshire and later he married his step-cousin Jane Lewis (they were no blood relative). Joseph was a crypto-Jew attending the Anglican Church for social reasons who later became a Methodist minister.

Joseph's older brother Samuel Lewis was trained by his step -father as a maltster in Brighton at the Black Lion Brewery and later went to live with his step-father's sister Mrs Mary Woodhouse (nee Lewis) at Norley Hall in Cheshire. He later became the owner of the Tiger Head Inn in Norley and a local farmer and land owner. Family tradition states that he was known as the Squire of Norley.

Joseph's brothers James and George went to live with their Jewish step-uncle Edward Henry Lewis and his wife Sarah Raphael (daughter of Nathaniel Raphael and Shinah Jane Levy) in London where they studied Law and became Jewish lawyers. Their step-uncle Edward Henry Lewis had three children Charles Lewis (who married Sophia Levy), Louis Lewis of Jamaica, and Catherine Lewis who converted to Catholicism on her marriage to George Drew Keogh. Due to their step uncle and aunt rearing the two boys as their own sons the relationships in the family have confused some researchers.

Jewish Princes Lusignan

2011-08-12T22:34:00.000-07:00

King Guy de Lusignan of Jerusalem

It is interesting that the Semi Gotha of the nobility of Europe records that the Czars of Russia recognised the nobility of the Jewish Princes Lusignan. How did these descendants of the Catholic Kings of Jerusalem, Armenia and Cyprus become recognised as Jewish Princes? Most of us know the name of Guy Lusignan as an evil King of Jerusalem in the movie called "Kingdom of Heaven".

For me the name Lusignan was to be found in my family tree. My great-great-grandfather's grandmother was Maria Lusignan of Russia (daughter of Henri Phillippe de Lusignan). I was puzzled how this French family had come to be in Russia and I was surprised when I started to research this family that they were recognised as Princes of Jewish origin by the Russian court. In my research I was to trace them back to the Lusignan-Ammiel family of southern France.

The family claims descent from Phillippe Lusignan the eldest illegitimate child of Prince Henri Lusignan the Titular Prince of Galilee by his Jewish mistress Alice ha Geveret a descendant of the Royal House of King David. Henri proclaimed his illegitimate Jewish son Phillippe as Titular Prince of Galilee and Count of Bethlehem and the Lusignan family continued to claim these titular titles until the modern era. There are of course other descendants who have also claimed these titles throughout the centuries.

Prince Henri Lusignan of Galilee was the son of King James I Lusignan of Cyprus (b.1334-d.1398) and his wife Helvis (Heloise/Helvide) of Brunswick. His grandmother was Helvide de Dampierre who was descended from the Jewish Kings of Khazaria. Queen Helvis of Cyprus was the daughter of Duke Phillip Welf of Brunswick and his wife Helvide de Dampierre. Helvide de Dampierre was the daughter of Eudes de Dampierre the Constable of Jerusalem and his wife Isabella de Lusignan.

Isabella Lusignan was the daughter of Guy de Lusignan-Antioch a son of King Hugh III Lusginan of Cyprus. Thus Henri de Lusignan Prince of Galilee was descended from the Jewish Kings of Septimania(Narbonne)on his direct male line from Machir Theodoric (Aimeri) of Narbonne's son Theodoric II Nehemiah (Amaury le Chetif) and a descendant of the Kings of Khazaria on his maternal grandmother's direct male line through the de Dampierre family. Prince Henri's mother Queen Helvis was descended on her direct male line from Machir of Narbonne's son Guillame de Gellone I (Nathan Kalonymus).

Prince Henri was also descended many times over from the d'Ibelin family of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. His mother's paternal grandmother was Helvis d'Ibelin (daughter of Phillippe d'Ibelin). The d'Ibelin family were descendants of Jewish Helpuin (or ha-Alufin) families of France that descended from Machir's son Menachem (Harald Hildetonn/Hernaut de Gironde/Hildouin)through his son Helgi Halfdan (Heligaud)of Scandinavia. One of the sons of Helgi Halfdan (ha Aluf Dan)was Hildouin (Herlouin) of Ponthieu from whom the d'Ibelin family traditionally claim descent.

Henri de Lusignan's son Phillipe de Lusignan married his cousin King James II Lusignan of Cyprus' Jewish mistress Ava (Eve/Eshives)de Nores whose father was the crypto-Jewish Senschal or Marshall of Cyprus. Her mother was the Jewess Miriam of Jerusalem who was known as Mary Montolive. Phillippe's son Henri or Herion was the Lord of Chiti in Cyprus. Henri married into the Davidic family of the Charlap/Chappes. The family continued in Cyprus for another 3 or 4 generations until the time of the last Queen of Cyprus Catherine who handed Cyprus over to Venice on her death.

Herion's great grandson Pierre Antoine de Lusignan (1521- after 1571) moved to France where he was known as Count Lusignan. His great-grandson also named Pierre Antoine de Lusignan was born in France around 1600. Count Pierre Antoine's father Jaques Phillippe de Lusignan claimed to be the titular King of Jerusalem, Cyprus and Armenia through his mother Jacquetta de Lusignan the sister of Pierre de Lusignan. Prince Pierre de Lusignan of Cyprus was the grandson of Prince Jacques de Lusignan whose father Guy de Lusignan was a legitimised son of King Janus I of Cyprus and half-brother to King John II of Cyprus.

Pierre Antoine de Lusignan of France's son Jaques Phillippe also born in France married the Jewess Miriam Amiel (or Amigo) whose father was the Sephardi Rabbi Joseph Amigo Khaver ha Aluf and her mother was Rachel Hen-Gracian. Their eldest son was known as the Marquis Louis de Lusignan of France and his brother was Count (or Marquis) Antoine de Lusignan- Ha Aluf -Hen (born 1644). Another son was known as Count Jean de Lusignan- Amiel (born 1646)had a son Jean de Amiel Lusignan who went to settle in Canada.

Count Antoine's sons were Bernard (b.1665) and Henri (b.1670). Bernard's son by his French wife Francoise Barriere was Phillippe de Lusignan who married a Russian Princess. Their grandson was Prince Henri Phillippe de Lusignan Ha Aluf Hen who moved to the Russian Empire at the time of the French revolution with his family. Henri Phillippe's older brother was the Marquis Louis de Lusignan the titular King of Jerusalem, Cyprus and Armenia. Prince Jacques de Lusignan as titular King of Cyprus, Jerusalem and Armenia and also Prince of Galilee and Count (or Prince) of Bethlehem decreed that his eldest son Louis as titular King of Cyprus, Jerusalem and Armenia and that his second son Henri-Phillippe was to receive the titular titles of Prince of Galilee and Count of Bethlehem. Henri Phillippe de Lusignan Prince of Galilee decreed, after his son Louis Joseph became heir to his uncle as titular King, his titles were to pass to his granddaughter Maria and her descendants.

From the family of Henri Phillippe de Lusignan Prince of Galilee and Count of Bethlehem came Prince Louis Christian de Lusignan and his son Prince Michael David de Lusignan whose titles were recognised by Czar Nicholas I and his successors. Another branch of the family known as the Chalfa Yen went to live in the Middle East and later moved to Paris and London. Many people of the time accepted their claims while other considered their titles to be bogus.

The wikipedia article on the Kings of Jeruslem also mention this family: "...According to E.P. Karnovich (1886), there was a colonel named Prince de Lusignan in the Russian service, allowed to be called the titular King of Cyprus and Jerusalem by Tsar Nicholas I. He claimed to be descended from Christobul de Lusignan, who had served in the Greek army under the Byzantine empire and was allegedly descended from a member of the Cypriot House of Lusignan who'd moved to Egypt and on to St Petersburg in Russia. Tsar Nicholas I allowed Colonel Lusignan to be matriculated as a Russian noble, that is a person holding an office which ennobled him. The colonel was probably known as Louis Christian de Lusignan...In the issue No. 180 of the Peterburgskiy Listok (Petersburg List) Newspaper July 3–15, 1884, a list of deceased in St Petersburg between 11 June and 18 June was found. There was a record for Louis Christian de Lusignan, colonel (retired). In the same newspaper issue No. 172 June 25-July 7, 1884, the following article was published: "The deceased who was buried thereby on Smolensk graveyard on 23 July, was a titled King of Cyprus and Jerusalem and Armenia, descendant of one of the protector of God's Casket, colonel of the Russian service, Louis de Lusignan."...".

The grandfather of Prince Michael David de Lusignan was Prince Christodule Joseph de Lusignan of Constaninople (Istanbul). Christodules' father was Prince Louis de Lusignan (son of Count Henri Philippe de Lusignan of France and Russia) heir to his uncle the Marquis de Lusignan of France as titular King of Jerusalem, Cyprus and Armenia. This Jewish family of Lusignan were influenced by the Frankist movement and some of them were to embrace Christian Orthodoxy under the influence of the Catholic son of the Alter Rebbe Moshe ben Zalman (aka Leon Brody or Leon Judah)who was believed to have become a Russian Orthodox Archmandrite around 1828. One of the sons of this family was named Leon in honour of Reb Moshe ben Zalman and he was to move to Italy. His son Guy de Lusignan supporters were to write a book putting forward the claims of his family in 1896.

The Chalfa Yen Lusignan of Baghdad always claimed to belong to the same family as the St Petersburg Lusignans even though Prince Michael denied their claims. However it most probable that this was the case as they both came from the Ottoman Empire. In my opinion all three claimants to the titles of Prince Lusignan were genuine but it would seem that each branch was protective of its status and sought to discredit the other branches of this crypto-Jewish family. Such infighting led others to dismiss all three claims as false. In fact it would seem that Prince Louis Joseph de Lusignan made his son Christodules the heir to the thrones of Cyprus and Jerusalem and his son Amaury Joseph to the throne of Armenia. Louis Joseph's sister Princess Maria de Lusignan of Russia and her descendants were given the titles of Prince of Galilee and Counts of Bethlehem. These titles passed to the daughter of Maria called Countess Henrietta Orurk of Russia and her descendants. Henrietta Countess Orurk was the titular Princess of Galilee.

However by 1910 Prince Michael de Lusignan must have hit hard times as he advertised in the New York papers for a rich American wife. As far as I know Prince Michael did not leave any offspring so the titles of King of Jerusalem and Cyprus would have reverted to the descendants of Amaury Joseph.

In Spain there was also a family of Marquis de Lusignan who claimed descent from the Lusignan de Lezay family. Marquis Louis Hugues de Lusignan was the son of Hugues Francoise de Lusignan and may be the son of Count Francoise Joseph de Lusignan and grandson of Count Jean de Lusignan-Amiel (b.1646) of France. Count Francoise Joseph de Lusginan married Madame Francoise de Lezay (the daughter of Guy the Marquis de Laval-Lezay)who entered the convent after the death of her husband. Their grandson Marquis Louis Hugues and his son Franz Joseph de Lusignan played an important part in Spanish and European history. One branch of the Lusignan-Amiel family descended from Jean de Lusignan Amiel emigrated to Quebec in Canada.

The original French family of Lusignan were descended from those Catholic noble families of Jewish ancestry connected with the Jewish Kingdom of Septimania in Southern France and its Jewish Kings of the Royal Seed of David. It was these Catholics families of Jewish origin who were instrumental in the conquest of the Holy Land by the Crusaders and the establishment of the Medieval Kingdom of Jerusalem.

One branch of the Jewish Lusignan family went to England in the 18th century. This family was founded by Saviour (or Sauveur) de Lusignan (1731-1826) of Cypress whose son was the Reverend Michael William Lusignan (born 1791 baptised 1814). His son Henry Alexander Lusignan's family went to live in Melbourne Australia in the 19th century.

Note 3: The Principality of Galilee was centred on the city of Tiberias. I love this small city in Israel which I have visited twice on holiday when I was living in Jerusalem. I always find a great peacefulness comes over me there. My mother's ancestor Donna Gracia Nasi was also involved with the city of Tiberias in the 16th century. The titles of Prince of Galilee and Count (or Prince)of Bethlehem were held in the 14th century by Balian d'Ibelin (son of Phillippe d'Ibelin the Constable of Cyprus who was also called the Prince of Galilee) and his wife Princess Alice Lusignan of Cyprus the daughter of King Hugh III and Princess Isabeau d'Ibelin. The first Crusader Prince of Galilee was Tancred in the 11th century.

Note 4: My step-grandmother who was a Russian of aristocratic ancestry who settled in Australia once said to me. "What use is it to use these titles unless you have the money and the castle to go with it?" This is very good advise. As an Australia my allegiance is to the Queen of Australia Elizabeth II and her heirs and successors. For me she is the anointed Monarch of the Davidic lineage who sits on the Davidic Throne. No other Monarch in Europe today has been anointed in the ancient tradition of the Royal House of David eventhough most of them are also descendants of King David. While the Danish and Spanish Monarchies are ancient their Monarchs today Queen Margarethe II and King Juan Carlos I did not have a sacred ceremony of anointing as part of their coronation ritual.

Bishop John Brady of Perth's Jewish Origins

2011-07-23T13:48:00.000-07:00

This week a very good article on Bishop John Brady was published in the Perth Archdiocesan newspaper called "The Record" by Bridget Spinks. Bridget gives a very balanced view of the different opinions on Bishop Brady and his role in the foundation of the Catholic Church in Western Australia. Bishop Brady's remains have been removed from his grave in France to be installed in St Mary's Cathedral in Perth with the other Archbishops of Perth on August 2.

In the past I have written briefly of John Brady who was a close relative of Leon Brady the father of my father's great grandmother Mary Ann Brady. Mary was to come to Western Australia in 1865 with her first husband Edward Bloomer (she was his second wife)and children. After the death of her first husband she remarried a second time and also had a family with her second husband Michael Redmond.

Bridget Spinks records that little is known about John Brady's early life and family except that he came from County Cavan. He also did not speak English very well though he was fluent in French. The article states an opinion that his mother tongue was Gaelic to explain his poor English. In fact his mother tongue was Yiddish and he was born in Eastern Europe of a Jewish family that had become Catholic Frankists.

John Brady's family came from Sheklov (Sheklou in modern day Belarus) and Krustpils (in Latvia). He was the son of Berend Natan Broide of Sheklov and Judith Cohen of Cavan (from the Cohen family of Savannah Georgia). Judith went with her first husband and son to Russia from Cavan Ireland in the late 1790's. After his death around 1801 she married her second husband who was a Frankist Jew. Around 1815-20 due to the troubles with Napoleon they returned to Cavan. John and his brothers Bernard and Terence were born in Russia but settled with their parents in Carrickatober Cavan where they were known as Bernard and Judith Brady. They settled in Cavan as a group and anglicising Broide to Brady, Tzoref to Smith, Luntz to Lynch and Maccabi or Machabeo to McCabe.

Bishop Brady had a sister Ann Mary (Channa Miriam/Anna Maria)Brady (also born in Russia) who married John Farrelly and they later settled in South Australia. Bishop Brady's sister (or aunt according to some researchers) Margaret (Margarita)Brady is also believed to have married into the Farrelly family to Patrick Farrelly. One of his Farrelly nephews Terrence Frederick Farrelly (named after Bishop Brady's brother Terrence) went to Perth with Bishop Brady. The Farrelly family were originally the Jewish Italian Forli family descended from Rabbi Moses ben Daniel of Forli of the 15th century.

It would seem that Carrickatober (Crosskeys, Carrickatubber) was a little Frankist village in Ireland with its own Frankist Catholic Church (the second in the one parish of Denn). The Church was known as Loonogs (meaning little chapel). The village was called by the Frankists Krustpils (Kreutzberg) after the place where Moshe ben Zalman lived and wrote his Jewish Catholic work on the Cross. This was anglicised to Crosskeys.

John Brady's blonde hair and blue eyes were common in the Eastern European families to which he was connected. Both the Alter Rebbe and his Catholic son were blonde and Rebbe Nachman of Breslov had strawberry blonde hair. The Catholic son of the Alter Rebbe, Moshe ben Zalman was the husband of Berend Natan Broide's sister Leah Golda Broide.

The article also mentions mental illness in the Brady family and strange behaviour. This was because of the spiritual tradition of being "fools for God" followed by these hidden Catholic Jews in the Catholic Church and Jewish communities. John's uncle Moshe was an exemplar of such "foolishness for the Messiah". John Brady learnt with his uncle Moshe ben Zalman who travelled under the name of Leon Brody in France.

Many of the mysteries of the life of Bishop John Brady are explained when one realises he was part of a network of converted Jews in the Catholic Church. They often hid their Jewish background from outsiders and appeared as devout Gentile Catholics to the Gentiles. It is interesting that one of the people involved in moving the remains of Bishop Brady is also herself a Jewish born Catholic called Mrs Bobby Hoyle. It would indeed seem that Bishop Brady did not forget his Jewish origins even from beyond the grave.

R1b Arrives in Europe post 1000 BC

2011-07-12T13:45:00.000-07:00

Yair Davidi of Brit-am
There are now new studies confirming that R1b entered Europe post 1000BC according to a new post by the Israeli Orthodox Jewish researcher Yair Davidi of the Brit-am organisation in Jerusalem. He writes: "R1b is the major Y(Male transmitted)DNA haplogroup in Western Europe. The paper below considers different mathematical possibilities for the spread of R1b across Europe.These estimates are based on the rate of mutation of R1b as we know it today. The simplest and most straight-forward possibility appears to be that R1b became dominant in Europe after ca. 1000 BCE.Not so long ago such a suggestion would not be countenanced. It would have been considered to negate known history etc.
Since however recent DNA archaeological findings seem to indicate a lack of R1b before 1000 BCE (or later) then it is closer to being accepted!!!..."

Davidi then quotes from the new study by Sjodin and Francoise: "Whether or not the spread of agriculture in Europe was accompanied by movements of people is a long-standing question in archeology and anthropology, which has been frequently addressed with the help of population genetic data. Estimates on dates of expansion and geographic origins obtained from genetic data are however sensitive to the calibration of mutation rates and to the mathematical models used to perform inference. For instance, recent data on the Y chromosome haplogroup R1b1b2 (M269) have either suggested a Neolithic origin for European paternal lineages or a more ancient Paleolithic origin depending on the calibration of Y-STR mutation rates. Here we examine the date of expansion and the geographic origin of hgR1b1b2 considering two current estimates of mutation rates in a total of fourteen realistic wave-of-advance models. We report that a range expansion dating to the Paleolithic is unlikely to explain the observed geographical distribution of microsatellite diversity, and that whether the data is informative with respect to the spread of agriculture in Europe depends on the mutation rate assumption in a critical way...Wave-of-advance models with a recent expansion date received higher support than models of Neolithic expansion (Table 2, Figures 2'3). We found it difficult to discriminate among models assuming EMR (Neolithic expansion) and models assuming GMRs (Recent expansion). An interpretation of our results is as support for the use of the correction proposed by Zhivotovsky et al [28], [29] in wave-of-advance models. Historical events consistent with recent expansions from the south of Europe during the Bronze age [19] or the Greek and Roman civilization in Europe and West Asia [35] cannot be excluded, but the impact of such demographic events on European genomes requires confirmation from ancient DNA studies. "

Jean of the 'New Vistas on the Distant Past' Website writes: "Per Sjödin and Olivier François have bravely pointed out the obvious in a new paper.* Whether the spread of R1b1b2 (R-M269) can be connected to the spread of farming depends on which mutation rate is used. If the evolutionary mutation rate is favoured, R1b1b2 could be linked to the Neolithic, but germline mutation rates point to a more recent expansion...This discussion has been common currency on these forums for many moons, but courage is required to go into print with a thought that could outdate almost everything previously published on R1b1b2 in peer-reviewed journals. Not that they come to a firm conclusion as to the date of R1b1b2's gallop across Europe. That is wise. We need more ancient DNA. At present we have a tiny number of samples of Y-DNA from Neolithic sites in Europe, in which haplogroup G2a predominated, and no R1b has turned up..."

Jean also writes: "However debate has swung to and fro over the dating of haplogroups. Geneticists in recent years have often used Zhivotovsky's evolutionary effective dating method for Y-DNA, which adjusts the calculated pedigree (genealogical) mutation rate, since in some populations the latter produced unexpectedly late dates. Unfortunately this ad-hoc adjustment seems generally misapplied, producing dating estimates two or three times too old. For example Marcin Woźniak and colleagues point out that the pedigree mutation rate for R1a1a1g [M458] is more consistent with the archaeological record for the Slavs. A study of the Caucasus region found that genealogical estimates gave a good fit with the linguistic and archaeological dates, while the evolutionary effective rates fell far outside them. Another line of enquiry is directly genealogical. Both surnames and Y-DNA haplogroups are passed down in the male line. A group of men with a surname of the same origin should have a common ancestor at the time of surname development. One study found that they mainly did, using a mutation rate similar to the genealogical rather than the evolutionary..."

This would seem to confirm my own opinions expressed on this blog about the origin and dating of the Y-dna of R1b. The sooner this ridiculous evolutionary manipulation of the data is abandoned the better for true science and true history.

Note: It is also interesting to note that hapologroup Y-dna I which I associate with the Assyrian/Samartian advance into Europe has an accelerated HIV progression rate to AIDS and suppression therapy has limited effectiveness. The Hapologroup I has its origin in Turkey and Iraq the area of ancient Assyria. The Wikipedia article states: "Several haplogroup I-M170 individuals who do not fall in known subclades, with some of the greatest Y-STR diversity, have significantly been found among the populations of Turkey (8/741), Adygea (2/138), and Iraq (1/176),even though as a whole Haplogroup I-M170 occurs at only very low frequencies among modern populations of the Middle East and Caucasus. This is consistent with the belief that the haplogroup first appeared in that region...Y-DNA haplogroup I has been researched in connection with HIV and AIDS progression. The research resulted in the finding that haplogroup I in general, and no specific subclade, had accelerated progression (in Y haplogroup I individuals) from HIV to AIDS. Suppression therapy also had a diminished effect on such individuals"

My Journey with Machir

2011-06-16T18:42:00.000-07:00

For the last 30 years I have been researching the mysterious Machir of Narbonne the Jewish King of Septimania in Medieval France. I actually began my research into the Davidic ancestry of the European Royalty before I knew of the existence of Machir and the Kingdom of Septimania. Beginning in about 1978 at the age of 15 I first learnt of the Davidic hero called Roger or Rogero and this began my search into the Davidic genealogies. A year earlier in 1977 at the age of 14 I had become interested in my family history when we had to do an assignment on our family history. I had also been interested in British Royal History [due to my mother's influence] and Russian Royal History [due to the influence of my Russian step-grandmother Baroness Nadine Wulffius], at an even earlier age.

I first learnt of the existence of Machir through a brief passage in Sir Iaian Moncrieffe's book on the ancestry of Prince William, which spoke of the research of Professor David Kelley into the Davidic ancestry of the European Royalty. This began my own search and many long hours in libraries reading and researching (this was before the days of the Internet). I knew of Professor Zuckerman's book on this topic but I did not actually read it until many years later when Moshe Salitiel-Gracian kindly sent me a copy in the later half of the 1990's.

I was to be glad that I didn't read his book at this early stage as I may have got confused due to his mistakes in regard to some genealogical matters and his identification of Machir with Natronai. In the Jewish sources I found it was clear that Machir was the son of the Exilarch Judah. I then began my research into the Exilarchic dynasty. The main problem with Zuckerman's version is that he has confused Machir with his son and thus many historians and genealogists find valid reasons for not accepting that Theodoric, Aimeri de Narbonne and Machir are the same person.

For myself I found more and more evidence confirming this Jewish dynasty across a wide range of histories, genealogies, myths, legends, folklore, archaeological discoveries, mystical literature, kabbalah, astronomy, astrology and others from a wide range of countries. I was the first to reveal that Hernaut de Gironde was to be identified with Harald Hildetonn. I was the first to reveal that there were two Guillaume de Gellone's who were uncle and nephew- one the saint (the nephew Isaac Kalonymus) and the other the leader of Septimania and Frankish Jewry (the uncle Nathan Kalonymus). I also identified Machir's sister Bat Yehuda (which became Bertrude/Bertrada/Bertha) with the mother of Charlemagne whose Jewish name was David Kalonymus.

On this thirtieth anniversary year of my learning of Machir of Narbonne I look back and realise that this research has played an important part in my life. It has led me to meet many interesting people and affected my religious journey. Though I am too busy with other things I would have liked to have written a book on this topic but I have shared my ideas with others through my blogs so that maybe someone else better equipped than myself may get some hints from my writings and finally write a definitive book on this subject.

King Arthur and the Comet

2011-06-06T12:17:00.000-07:00

In 2000 an article in the "Times" by Nick Nuttall reported on a comet bombarding the earth in the 6th century which caused the so-called Dark Ages. He writes:"...The story of the death of King Arthur and its references to a wasteland may have been inspired by the apocalyptic effects of a giant comet bombarding the Earth in AD540, leading to the Dark Ages, a British scientist said yesterday.

The impacts filled the atmosphere with dust and debris; a long winter began. Crops failed, and there was famine, Dr Mike Baillie of Queen's University, Belfast, told the British Association for the Advancement of Science. There was now overwhelming evidence from studies of tree rings of a catastrophic climate change at that time, he said.

Dr Baillie, who is based at the university's school of archaeology and palaeoecology, said studies of Irish oaks showed that the climate suddenly became inhospitable around AD540. Other researchers had discovered the same narrow rings on trees in places such as Germany, Scandinavia, Siberia, North America and China. "For all these trees to show the same rings at the same time means it must have been a profoundly unpleasant event, a catastrophic environmental downturn, in AD540, which is in or at the beginning of the Dark Ages."

The tightly bound rings are consistent with fierce frosts that would have devastated agriculture and made a malnourished population more vulnerable to the plague of 542, which killed millions. Plague-carrying rats and pests would have been looking for sustenance, thus hastening the spread of the disease.

Dr Baillie said that there were several theories as to the explanation. One was that a vast volcano had erupted and pumped huge amounts of dust into the atmosphere. Yet such a volcano "would have been out of all proportion to ones we see in recent times", he said, adding that the geological records bore no trace of it.

The other theory, he said,was that huge fragments from a giant comet had hit the Earth, causing violent explosions and a dramatic cooling of the planet. "My view is that we had a cometary bombardment - not a full-blown comet, or we would not be here, but parts of a comet."

Dr Baillie said the hypothesis was supported by studies by astronomers and astrophysicists including Mark Bailey, of the Armagh Observatory, Victor Clube, of Oxford University, and Bill Napier, formerly of the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh. They had calculated that there was a strong likelihood that the Earth suffered a cometary bombardment between 400 and 600, based on records of high meteor shower activity. They had linked it with the break-up of the comet Biela.

It was hoped that scientists in Greenland would analyse ice cores for signs of cometary dust. They were soon to carry out chemical analysis for tree rings for similar clues.

Dr Baillie urged historians to examine the records for writings that may record the events. "You can read about the Justinian plague in conventional history books but you cannot read about the cometary bombardment. The trees single out an episode which can be best described as catastrophic, and it isn't there in written history."

There was, however, some support buried in mythological writings and other works. Roger of Wendover had referred in 540 or 541 to a "comet in Gaul so vast that the whole sky seemed on fire. In the same year there dropped real blood from the clouds . . . and a dreadful mortality ensued".

Dr Baillie also cited the death of King Arthur, which is dated to 537, 539 and 542 in various works, as establishing possible links with fire from the sky and destruction. Dr Baillie said that Arthur was linked in old Irish with CuChulainn, the sky god, who in turn was linked with the Celtic bright sky god Lugh variously described as "bright as the setting sun, comes up in the west, and of the mighty blows".

"The Arthurian stories with their Celtic antecedents of bright sky gods and 'wasteland' come with traditional dates for Arthur's death."

Dr Baillie said that the myths hinted strongly at a bombardment as the causes of an environmental downturn."

The scientists link the death of Arthur in about 539 with this bombardment and the creating of wastelands in the British Isles and America. Reading the ancient legends one soon realises that they claim that King Arthur ruled an immense British Empire as a High King or Emperor whom Nennius calls the Guletic (from the Jewish Rosh Galuta). This empire included the Americas. Arthur dies (or is wounded) in a battle with his son Amr (Amorai/ Amwlad/ Morgan)who became known as Mordred in the Arthurian tales and legends.

High-King Arthur (Arthur Mor) belonged to the Davidic House and was the son of Huna Mar (called Chunan Meriadoc in Brittany/ Mar Ahunai in Babylon/ Cunomor or Mark in Cornwall/ Mar in the Pennines). This Jewish Catholic Royal Davidic Dynasty was descended from Joseph of Arimathea and the Babylonian Exilarchs. Huna Mar's father was the British High King Theodoric (Tudwal) who was known as Nathan Todros as the Jewish Catholic Exilarch or Judiarch of the Gewisse (Jews)of Cornwall and Somerset. When Huna Mar was a boy he was sent by his father to the great Jewish Catholic Academy in Persia(Sarras) at Takhte Sulieman -the Throne of Solomon- in the Zagos Mountains.

When Mar Zutra II the Babylonian Exilarch rose up against his Persian masters and established an autonomous Jewish Kingdom based on the city of Mahoza around 495- 500 AD Huna Mar allied himself with Mar Zutra and married Mar Zutra's daughter Abiane. After their marriage Huna visited his father in Britain and Arthur (Mar Dov) was born at Tintagel in Cornwall in his grandfather's fortress. His grandfather later retired as High-King and settled in the woods near Tintagel to focus on Eucharistic Adoration (a Grail chapel)and was known as St Nectan.

Arthur's brothers were Kafnai, Gideon and Solomon. Kafnai was also known as Custennin or Constantine in Britain. Gideon was known as Gadeon, Gradlon and Gabhran. Huna Mar and Abiane and their children returned to the East to assist Mar Zutra in the defence of the Jewish kingdom of Mahoza (somehwere between 502-508). The Persians defeated the Jewish forces and executed him on the Mahoza bridge. Huna and his family returned to Takhte Suleiman where he left his children and wife while he returned to Britain to become High King of Britian and Brittany.

Arthur left Takhte Suleiman around 515 and after he became High King he sent for his brothers who he made under-king's of Cornwall and Brittany. When Arthur was killed (or wounded) in 539 his brother Kafnai as Constanine King of Cornwall became High King during a time of disasters and plagues caused by the comet. Around 550 Constantine abdicated and moved to Babylon with his son Tristam (Drust) and Arthur's young grandson Ithiel Hayyim and as the Exilarch Kafnai he reestablished the Babylonian Exilarchy. When the Persian King began a policy of exterminating the seed of David, Ithiel and some of the Davidic family fled via Takhte Suleiman and Armenia to the Frankish Empire. Galahad (son of Lancelot) had become the Jewish Catholic Exilarch (rosh galuta)of Takhte Suleiman (Sarras) after the death of Arthur. His son Omer (Aumer/ Amr)ha Ari fled with his relatives taking the Holy Grail Platter with him to Frankish Germany.

Ithiel and his son Adal (Adoi/ Adalric/ Athelric) became the leaders of a German Saxon tribe and went with them to Bernicia in Britian. Ithiel is remembered in the history of Bernicia as King Ida and his son Adal as King Athelric. Through the intermarriage of these families descended from Arthur and Lancelot was to come the Jewish Catholic dynasty of the Carolingian kings. Lancelot after 539 was known as St Brychan or Brychan the Patriarch.

Arthur's brother Gideon was the King of Brittany and later known as Gabhran king of Dal Riata. Gabhran married Luan or Lluan the daughter of Lancelot of Brychan (St Brychan) and Igenach (Elaine of Scots/ Ascolat). Gabhran was to become the High King after 550 when his brother Constantine (Kafnai) abdicated and became the Jewish Exilarch in Babylon. It would seem that Constantine had been reared as an unbaptised Jew by his Jewish mother Abiane. Arthur's son Amr had also been raised in the East by his grandmother as an unbaptised Jew as were his sons and grandsons. It was through intermarriage with the family of Lancelot that the Jewish Catholic traditions were retained in the Exilarchic families.

Gabhran's son Aedan (Aed/ Ad)was the father of Arthur of Dal Riata who was made the underking of Gwent under the overlordship of his father Aedan. This second king Arthur was a great grandson of the first King Arthur. Arthur of Dal Riata and Gwent's mother Igraine was a daughter of Amr (Amwlad) the son of the High King Arthur. Some sources state that Amwlad is a descendant of Cadfan who is also called Gideon. This of course refers to Gabhran (Gideon) who is the uncle and possible foster father of Amwlad (Amr/Amhar).

High-King Arthur's grandson Gideon of Rhoda in Calalus (Cadrod Calchfynydd) was the Ruler or King of the Arthurian Empire in America. Cadrod was married to Gurgon Goddheu a daughter of Gabhran and Lluan and thus a granddaughter of Lancelot (Brychan). Scholars are puzzled by the identity of Calchfynydd which mean chalk mountains or Limestone Hills. They can not place such a kingdom in Wales or Britain though some suggest Lowland Scotland or Powys as possiblities. David Nash Ford writes: "Cadrod's kingdom of Calchfynedd is one of the most mysterious of Early British Kingdoms. The name, literally, means "Chalk-Mountains" or, more generally, "Limestone Hills". W.F. Skene argued, not unconvincingly, that this referred to the Kelso area of Southern Scotland. Yet ancient Welsh poetry clearly indicates that it was south of Powys...". However the hills south of Tucson Arizona are Limestone Hills. The Tucson artifacts of Rhoda and Calalus were also found buried under limestone caliche. As the counts of Toulouse the two Guillame de Gellone's where also associated with the name Torson (Chorso) or Tolosan and Tucson in Arizona was originally named in honour of these counts of Toulouse.

It is also interesting that the Welsh genealogies also mention a Cadrod who is the son of Guriad who I identify with Israel I Guriad King of Calalus (son of Theodoric II Nehemiah King of Septimania and the Theodorus of the Calalus artifacts). King Cadrod of Calchfynydd (Calalus) returned to Britian with forces from America to lead the Britons against Cuthwulf the King of Wessex in the battle of Bedford in 571. It would seem that the older names for America was the Isles of Barzel (Brasil) and Atala and later Rhoda, Manau or Mananaan, Amrica, Calalus and Calchfynydd.

Amr comes from the title Amir or Mar and Amr's Hebrew name was Noach (Noah)which became Nowy in Welsh. He is also called Nowy Hen (Noah the Graceful). Mar Noah's daughter the Lady Sanan married her cousin Guilog the son of Beli or Cunobelin King of Calalus. Amr Noah may have been the first Arthurian Ruler of America and the name America may have been named for him. Amr or Amir meaning Ruler or Prince of the Davidic House and the Frankish Ric also meaning Ruler. It was a play on his Babylonian name of Mar Amorai. He was an ancestor of the later Machir King of Septimania whose Babylonian name was also Amorai. The American Indians also used the name Amerika which meant in their language a Mountain Wilderness. Calalus may come from the latinisation of the Hebrew word chalal which means void or wilderness. The Welsh name for Calalus is Calchfydydd or Calchmynydd meaning the lime mountains. The Welsh word for lime (Calch) may have originated from Calalus-the Lime(stone) Land. The name Calalus or Chalal (void or empty/wastelands) may have been used after the cataclysmic events of the comet in 539-40 AD. Kelso (Calchheu) in Scotland seems to be named after Calalus.

The descendants of Cadrod ruled Calalus until the time of Elidyr of Mananaan (America) who was the son of the last Arthurian king of Calalus descended from Llywarch Calchfynydd the son of Cadrod. One area of Mananaan or Manau settlement may have been in the area of Georgia and Alabama in the American Arthurian Empire. On the Calalusian retreat from Rhoda (which had been overrun by Natives) they stopped or settled for a time in this area where Elidyr was born. Theodoric II Nehemiah of Septimania married Urenkelin (Kelinion/ Celenion) of the Radbads (Jewish Rhodans of the Rhone Valley)whose father Enkel was Jewish Ruler of the Rhodans of the Rhone Valley.

Enkel of the Radbads was a grandson of Elidyr of Rhodan Mananaan. Elidyr the Rhodan was also known as Radbad I of Frisia. Eadgils is mention as the father of Radbad but this may just be another name for Radbad (Elidyr/Eadgils)or it may have been a name for his father Sannde. It would seem that this Jewish dynasty had embraced paganism at some stage due to an intermarriage with a Princess descended from the pagan King Eadgils of Sweden. The Rhodans that left America with Sannde and Elidyr settled in Frisia and became known as the Frisians in the latter half of the 7th century. They were known for their long blonde hair and were also associated with some as the Fairies or Fay (descendants of Morgan Le Fay) who are also described as having long blonde hair. These fairies were known to be taller than ordinary humans (Europeans) rather than smaller as fairies are thought of in recent centuries.

The Land of the Fairies was known as the Hidden Kingdom as its location was considered a great secret to both the Romans and the later High Kings of Britain due to its wealth in metals. It would seem that these Blonde-haired natives of America (R1b-U106) represent a different group to the Red haired or bearded Americans of Calalus (R1b-U152). The tall blonde haired pagan natives of America may have been settled in America in the time of King Arthur as part of a Scandinavian contingent. Geoffrey of Monmouth relates that Scandinavia was part of the Arthurian British Empire. It would seem that this tribe was firstly in Germany near the Angles in the 5th century and were known as the Myrging and were ruled over by Eadgils (Athils). This tribe seems to have moved North to Sweden after being defeated by the Angles. From there they moved into America a second time. It is of course possible that they may have been part of the Scandinavian attack on Britain after the collapse of the Arthurian Empire. It would seem in this scenario that the Rhodans defeated the Myrgings in America and they accepted the overlordship of Cadrod (Elidyr)the Jewish Arthurian Davidic King of Rhoda. It would seem that Cadrod married his son Llywarch Hen Calchfynydd to Fay the daughter of Eadgils (Athils) of Sweden a leader of the Myrgings. It would seem that before they were in Germany they may have come to Germany via Ireland and America and have originally been called the Tuatha De Danaan or fairyfolk. In the mid 3rd Century Prince Mananaan the son of the Scottish Rosh Galuta King Rafael V Loir (Lear/Lir) mediated between the Milesian Irish and the Tuatha de Danaan in the far Western Lands of America.

The Tuatha de Danaan had a strong Matriarchal society descended from the priestesses of Dinah (Dana/ Diana)who were linked with the Formonians who were the Israelite -Egyptian descendants of Joseph who had escaped Egypt with the last King descended from Manesseh -Mentuhotep IV. They seem to have settled in Central America. Recent archeological discoveries in Peru have revealed that a tall blonde headed people ruled in the Andes before being conquerored by the Incas in 1475. They were called the Cloud People (or Warriors of the Cloud) or the Chachapoyas. They are dated back to the 9th century and may have been a Colony of the Jewish Kingdom of Calalus. That the language of this region is called Aymara would seem to confirm the link with Rhodan Calalus. It would seem that the tall white long haired Warriors came from the legendary Atullia (Antillia/ Atala) which had 7 famous cities which were known to the Spanish as Cibola.

The name of Atala later developed into Eadgils and Atala became a the title for King. This is the origin of the Anglo-Saxon Athel or Ethel. The Angles took this title from their inter-reaction with the Myrgings tribe. In third century Ireland was the King of the Tuatha de Danaan called Ethal Anubal. Anu was also a name for Mexico and bal comes from Baal. His name meaning King Master of Mexico. There may have been major geological changes in Mexico's recent past and the famous Antillia Isle may have been Mexico in which the Northern and Southern limits had water channels wide enough for ships to sail round. The Northern channel may have been where today there are two separate rivers -the Colarado and the Rio Grande. The southern limit would be where Panama is today. Geologist tell us of a sea way between North and South America where Panama is today except they date it according to an evolutionary scheme as three million years ago whereas I would date it to about a 900-1000 years ago.

The Portuguese legend of Antillia was a memory of the expedition of Theodoric II Nehemiah's son Isaac Kalonymus (St William)and his two Jewish Catholic brothers (who were Bishops) in 800 AD to Calalus and the conversion of the colony to a form of Jewish Catholicism. The legend that seven Bishops of Porto Cale led an expedition to Antilla became confused with the Frankish Jewish Christian Bishops under St William of Gellone going to Calalus with 700 Jewish soldiers. The name of Portugal derives from the name of Porto Cale which is why Antillia was also called the other Portugal. It is possible that Porto Cale was indeed named after Calalus by the Romans as it was the Port from which the Jewish Swan ships of Solomon departed for Calalus. It would seem that Calais in France was also named by the Romans as Caletum as another Port that was involved in the trade with Calalus which the Radhanites (Rhodans)used.

Part of the ruins of the Chachpoyas super fortress in Kuelap

One website on the Chachapoyas super fortress of Kuelap in Peru states: "...Inca chronicles and legends persist that the Cloud People were tall fair (skin and hair) warriors. This is reinforced by an unusually large proportion of blond, fair natives in this zone who know of no European ancestry. However Julio C. Tello and anthropologists speculate the Chachapoyans may have been a jungle culture that migrated there through the Magdalena Valley of Columbia, and preferred the mountaintops. Whatever case, the Cloud People don’t fit the pattern of other Andeans. They lived behind walls in well crafted stone round houses with a pointed thatch “tepee” roof. One would suspect they farmed better land below the cloud forest, which wasn’t leached out and eroded, but lived on the peaks..."

Another article describes the circular design and the round houses. The Grail Castle at Takhte Suleiman in Persia was also of a round design and it was a common Eucharistic (the round white host) design of the Grail or Manna chapels of Eucharstic Adoration in Ireland and Britain. The zigzag pattern was a common Jewish design and represented the mysteries of the underground labyrinth under the Jewish Temple. One article states ; "...Kuelap lies 9,843 feet above sea level (3,000 masl), 3 miles (5 km) from the town of Tingo, and one hour by land from Chachapoyas. The climb is a 3 or 4-hour hike, or it can be done on horseback. The structure of the main building is circular and for security purposes has only one access corridor, sufficiently narrow to allow only one person at a time to enter. Inside there are several divisions, hundreds of round stone houses decorated with zigzag patterns, small up to 1,969 feet (600 m)long and 66 feet (20m) high. Towers indicate how well protected the compound was. It comprised more than 400 buildings, many of them with decorated walls and cornices or protruding friezes....". These roundhouses look very similar to the Gaelic roundhouses of Ireland and Britain. The Teepee design of the roof suggests that the Chachapoyas came from North America. They may have moved due to their defeat by Theodoric and his Warriors in 775 AD from the Limestone Mountain Kingdom of Rhoda in Arizona to the Andes. One group became subject to the overlordship of the new Jewish rulers of Calalus and Rhoda, while another large group fled South. David Mandich writes of these stone round houses in the Lost canyons of North Western Mexico. "... Mexico's Copper Canyon could be...Located in northwestern Mexico comprising over 125,000 square miles of lost canyons, lost mines, lost Indian tribes and a lost Cathedral, its sheer size and complexity defies description...Lost in the canyons, are archaeological ruins of civilizations that experts still disagree as to who they were and what happened to them. Ancient Indian cultures built cities beneath inaccessible cliffs, others round houses of stone..."
Round Houses of the Chachapoyas

Martin C Winer writes: "...Finally we have the Calalus settlement. In 1924 a collection of lead tablets was found near Tucson Arizona. “The crude plates told of a band of Hebrew refugees who fled Charlemagne’s Frankish Christian Regime and sailed across the Atlantic to a land known as Calalus. Found together with these plates were “ceremonial standards engraved with menorah and Hebrew tags like shalom, qaddash, elohim, goi gadol.” Calalus was founded in 775 C.E. when the colony’s first leader Theodore wrested the capital Rhoda from the native ‘Toltec’. A recent discovery off the coast of Haifa gives a possible vessel for the transatlantic crossing. Dr. Elisha Linder discovered the wreck of an ocean worthy craft and reports that a “flotilla of such merchantmen [(ships)] would have been available to Theodore and his colonists setting forth from Rome in 775.” Calalus went on to record a long and tumultuous history of wars, near defeats, and eventual total defeat around 900 CE. During its history there were many interactions between Calalus and Narbonne, a Carolingnian state (modern day France) where Jews enjoyed self-governance. It was in Narbonne that the Kabala was created from its well respected Yeshiva..." Numerous Roman coins have been found in the Americas and those found in Texas at an American Indian site called Round Rock have been dated to about 800 AD at the very time of the later Calalus settlement by the Jews from Septimania. (For information about the reconquest of Calalus by Theodore see "Calalus: A Jewish Catholic State in Medieval America")

It is interesting to note that in the area of Tucson in this time period was part of the ancient civilisation called the Hohokam which were closely connected with the Mogollon and Anasazi. The Hohokam ruins of Casa Grande show an advanced culture of canal builders that irrigated the desert areas. We know that Calalus had different cultural groups such as the British group and the Latin (Frankish group) as well as the Mananaan. The Mananaan would seem to be associated with the Mogollon culture and the Copper Valley (Barranca del Cobre)of Chihuahua is in the region of the Mogollon. From North West Mexico they may have travelled through Central America to the Magdalena Valley in Columbia before settling in Peru.

Also in Peru are found the red haired white people of the Paracas and Nazca cultures of Peru. Numerous mummies with red hair and Caucasian features have been found in the tombs of the upper classes of these cultures. It is possible that Mentuhotep first settled in South America rather than Central Mexico. It would seem certain legends tell of the conflict between the white tall blonde and bearded men and the red haired men. The blonde descendants of the tribe of Manasseh had been in America for almost a thousand years before the red haired people who arrived around 800-700 BC. These red haired people in Peru may be the great sailors and traders descended from the clans of Zerah-Judah of whom the Milesians and Rhodans belonged. Or they may have been the red haired descendants of Esau known as the Edomites or red men.

The Irish tales also associate the Wastelands with King Art the son of King Conn of the Hundred Battles who has adventures in a land associated with the sea God Mananaan to the far West of Ireland. It would seem that already in the 2nd-3rd centuries that the Irish were connected to Rhoda and the America Mananaan. King Art of Ireland was an ancestor of the later High-King Arthur. Art was known as the Red or Rhodan Hebrew Lord as was his father Conn Chober. Connchober (also known as Conn of the Hundred Battles) was the son of Nissya (Nessa) Fedhilim (Princess Fedlim)and King Fachtna Fathach of the Rhodans. The Irish tales speak of many battles between the Tuatha de Danaan and the Milesian Irish. It is interesting that these tales associate the Tuatha with appearing out of cloud and mist which may explain why the Inca's called the Chachapoyas the Cloud Warriors. They seemed to possess a cloud or mist making technology which terrified the other peoples.

The accounts also link the Tuatha de Danaan with a country called Lochlainn which is believed by some to be Denmark others Norway. However it may have been a place in the Americas. Lochlainn may mean "Warriors of the Lake (or Sea Inlet)". The Swan Ships of the Exilarch Solomon traded with the ancestors of the Tuatha de Danaan (the Mananaan) in America. The Rhodan Milesians (Radhanites)under their Davidic Kings established a mining colony in Arizona around the first century BC and were allied with the Mananaan or Manau of America. As mentioned above they seem to be descendants of the Tribe of Manasseh lead by the priestesses of Dinah (Danu)who fled with King Manu (King Menuhotep IV/ Manesseh)from Egypt in the 17th century BC for America. The legendary Inca King Manu or Manco for whom the first Inca King was named would seem to be Mentuhotep. It would also seem that the Rhodan's settled some of the Tuatha in Lochlainn in four cities but at some stage in the 2nd century they had a falling out and the Tuatha departed for Scotland and then attacked Ireland. They eventually left Ireland for Germany where they lived near the Angles. Some of them became assimilated with the Angles and others left for Sweden.

The white tribe of Indians in America called the Mandan retain both the Man of Mananaan and the Dan of Danaan. The Mandan have been linked with the Welsh Prince Madog /Madoc. While we know he was a descendant of people from Calalus and he returned to America to Alabama and Georgia, we do not know if the Mandan are the descendants of these Welsh settlers. It is more likely that the white Mandan were a remnant of the Mananaan or Tuatha de Danaan who had been in the Americas since the 17th century BC.

Many people believe that we are living in a similar period of time in which a comet will appear and the earth will be bombarded by fire from heaven. These events in the 6th cenury came at the end of an American-British Empire which seems to parallel our present decline of the British-American world financial empire. British legend tells us that when Britain is in her greatest need King Arthur would return to aid her. Many believe this means a descendant of King Arthur will arise to deliver Britain which is why a Royal custom stated in the Tudor dynasty that one member of the Royal family should have the name Arthur in each generation. In the present generations the Prince of Wales is Charles Arthur Phillip George and the Duke of Cambridge is William Arthur Phillip Louis. The Queen's father George VI also had Arthur as one of his names (Albert Frederick Arthur George). Queen Victoria also had a son called Prince Arthur and Henry VIII's older brother was Arthur Prince of Wales.

The name Arthur means Bear which is Dov in Hebrew. Arthur is associated with the constellation called the Big Bear (Ursus Major) which was later called King Arthur's Chariot and the home or dwelling place of King Arthur. The Irish refer to it as King David's Chariot. The French referred to it as the Great Chariot. The American Indians also refer to this constellation as the Great Bear (Okuri).

Note: I have become aware of certain books that speak about King Arthur, America and the Comet. I have at this time not read these books but only read about them on the internet. My writings do not draw on them at all and from what I have read I certainly do not agree with the agenda of these writers especially in their anti-catholic and anti-royalist viewpoints. My writings are based on my own studies and reconstruction of the genealogies which have become somewhat confused and muddled over the centuries. I accept the dating of the scientists who believe that the comet bombarded or passed the earth around 540 AD not 562 AD as mentioned by these other authors. Any books or writings that claim that Jesus or Mary Magdalene were married or had children I consider to be highly offensive and blasphemous to all orthodox Christians.

Messiah of Septimania

2011-05-30T10:53:00.000-07:00

At the moment I am reading a novel written by Lee Levin on Makhir Theodoric the first Jewish King of Septimania called "The Messiah of Septimania". The author has drawn on Professor Arthur Zuckerman's book on this Jewish Kingdom in southern France in the early Medieval period. It is a good read but due to the author not realising that the Carolingians were Catholics of Jewish origin he tries to explain how this Jewish son of an Exilarch could marry a Frankish Carolingian Princess that would be acceptable to both Jews and Christians. He also characterises the Princess Alda, Charlemagne and the other Catholics who he assumes are Gentiles in a negative light. In fact Charlemagne is also called David Kalonymus and his mother Judith [Bertrada/Bertha Goose foot/ Mother Goose] is a sister of Makhir.
Charlemagne (David Kalonymus ben Abba)

He also does not seem to know that there were two separate seiges of Narbonne- one by Charles Martel and the second one by King Pepin. The Chansons seem to confuse the seiges with each other. The chansons state that Aimeri d'Narbonne (Makhir/ Amorai ) captured the city in 739 in the reign of Charles Martel. Charles Martel had allied himself with this warrior Davidic Jewish family in the fight against the Muslims of Spain. Lee Levin in "The Messiah of Septimania" also tries to explain how a Jewish Davidic Rabbi and Prince also became a Warrior not realising that he came of generations of Warrior Princes in the Persian Empire.

Machir Theodoric in about 747 after the death of his wife Alda (married 729-30 AD) went to Scotland to aid the Kingdom of Strathclyde which was ruled by Davidic Jewish Catholic Kings who were related to Machir. He was known in the later Strathclyde king-lists as Tewdar or Teudebir and as St Machar in Aberdeen were he founded a Jewish synagogue which would later become the church of St Machar. Machar Tewdar married Princess Dunlaith a daughter of Israel the Red (Idwal Rotri) son of King Beli of Strathclyde. King Beli was a direct male line descendant of the Babylonian Exilarch Nathan II through his ancestor Nathan Todros the Judiarch of the Gewisse.

Israel the Red (Idwal Rotri)married Johanna a daughter of Ywrch (Arik/Erech) ap Cadwaladr of Gwynedd and Affadda of Brittany. Affadda was the daughter of King Alain Hir of Brittany and his wife Johanna the sister of Ahunai of the Holy Land. Machir and Dunlaith had a son Daniel Chuna (Dynwal/ Dumnagual/ Cynan /Demrost)[b.747]King of Strathclyde and Brittany. He married Princess Mahallt (Matilda) of Mide a daughter of King Conchobar of Midi and Princess Land of Ailech. Princess Land was the granddaughter of Princess Ailbine an aunt of King Makhir Todros of Septimania. Daniel Chuna was the father of Eugain or Erbin King of Strathclyde, Iago (Jacob) of Gwynedd, Gradlon Flam of Brittany and King Budic III Mor of Britanny. Jacob was the father of Atala (Ethyl) who married Israel I Guriad ha Makhiri a son of Theodoric II Nehemiah [b.730-d.790] the second King of Septimania. Many of the Royal Houses of traditional Davidic Descent sought to strengthen their Davidic status by intermarrying with the family of Ahunai, Judah Zakkai and Makhir.

Machir defeated King Angus of Picts and Scots in 750. While Machir was absent from Septimania in 750 Narbonne was once again attacked by the Muslims and occupied. They are said to have tortured Machir's youngest son Gilbert (Guibelin /Gui Alberic /Yakar)by crucifying him. Gilbert survived his ordeal and went on to become the Count of Rouergue. Machir returned to France in 752 to join King Pepin in the seige of Narbonne. In 759 Pepin would elevate Machir from being the Duke of Septimania to being an anointed King of Septimania. He would die or abdicate around 765 AD and was succeeded by his son Theodoric Nehemiah as Davidic King of Septimania. Machir with his second wife Dunlaith had a daughter Dunne (b.755 Septimania)and Bertrada (Bertha)(b.760). In 768 Charlemagne, on succeeding his father, confirmed the Carolingian alliance with King Theodoric II Nehemiah (Deitrich Namon/ Aumery le Chetif) of Septimania [r.765- 775 as King of Septimania]the son of King Theodoric I Machir[r.739-759 as Duke of Septimania, King of Strathclyde r.747-752, r.759-765 as King of Septimania]. Zuckerman and others confuse the father and son who are both known as Theodoric, Theuderic and Thierry. This second Jewish King was to be the Conqueror and King of Calalus in America as well the Ruler of Saxony (as King Theodoric or Deitrich of Saxony) and Bavaria (as Duke Namon of Bavaria).

It would seem that Makhir's grandfather Ahunai of the Holy Land (Hernaut de Beauland)came to the West after his father-in-law the warrior Exilarch Heman ben Shallum was killed. Heman was the Exilarch of the Jews who had become Muslims outwardly. He was martyred around 660 AD. It is said that the Jews of Pumbedita proclaimed him the Messiah in 645 AD and he was known as the Messiah of Pumbedita.

It would seem that Heman's father Shallum and his uncle Nehemiah were Jewish warrior princes of the royal house of King David that tried at different times to reestablish the Jewish kingdom of Mahoza. After Shallum led one such uprising against the Persians they sold him and his family into slavery to Muslims who forceably converted them. They were to use their outwardly Muslim status to champion the rights of the Jewish people both those who remained openly Jewish ruled by the family of their cousin Bostanoi and those Jews who outwardly became Muslims. Heman was known to the Muslims as Abdullah ibn Saba. Saba alludes to the Saba River where the Jewish authorities and the heads of the Acadamies fled after the fall of the Jewish kingdom of Mahoza. These Jewish scholars from the Saba river were known as the Saboraim and Heman was considered to be their protector. Heman supported the Caliph Ali as he was Jewish according to Rabbinic halakhah as Ali's mother Fatima bint Asad was the daughter of Zahna the sister of the Jewish Exilarchs Mar Haniniah and Mar Hushiel. Thus the Caliph Ali was a close relative of Heman and the Exilarch family.

Ahunai was a descendant of Bostanoi the Exilarch and he married the daughter of Heman who was known as Imma Bilhah Bat Heman or Mabile Ermenjart (which developed into Ermengarde). Ahunai's father Abu Aharon (Garin)was also known as Ha-Aluf (Welf/Wolf /Lupus)and seems to be the Warrior Leader of the Jews of Aquitaine in the late 7th century. His son Eudes (Mar Judah Zakkai)succeeded him as the leader of Aquitaine Jewry and to be the Ruler of Aquitaine under Merovingian overlordship. He later allied himself with Charles Martel in the fight against Ummayad Islam.

Lee Levin like Zuckerman associates Makhir with the Exilarch Natronai. However the Jewish sources speak of Machir as the son of a Babylonian Exilarch Judah. Natronai was the son of Habibai ben Natronai. This older Natronai is also known as Norbert of Aquitaine. He is the famous Natronai of legend who settled in France. His grandson Natronai was born in France and returned to Babylon to study and he eventually became the Exilarch in the 770's. Habibi (Abu ha Nasi) married Ruth of Aquitaine (Rodolinde)the sister of Eudes (Judah Zakkai). Thus Natronai was the cousin of Makhir. The older Natronai (Norbert) ben Nehemiah married Berthe a sister of Ahunai of the Holy Land. Habibi (Abu ha Nasi) was also known as Naissi after the Jewish princely title of Nasi. Uthman or Othman of Narbonne was possibly the older brother of Natronai or possibly Natronai himself. The Franks knew Othman of Narbonne as Manuza which is a variant of his Jewish name of Manasseh (Menashshe). The name of Manasses was found later in the family descended from Makhir Theodoric King of Septimania in the 9th century.
Aimeri de Narbonne

In the Sefer ha-Kabbalah, written by Abraham ibn Daud in 1161 it says:

"Then King Charles sent to the King of Baghdad [Caliph] requesting that he dispatch one of his Jews of the seed of royalty of the House of David. He hearkened and sent him one from there, a magnate and sage, Rabbi Makhir by name. And [Charles] settled him in Narbonne, the capital city, and planted him there, and gave him a great possession there at the time he captured it from the Ishmaelites [Arabs]. And he [Makhir] took to wife a woman from among the magnates of the town; ...and the King made him a nobleman and designed, out of love for [Makhir], good statutes for the benefit of all the Jews dwelling in the city, as is written and sealed in a Latin charter; and the seal of the King therein [bears] his name Carolus; and it is in their possession at the present time. The Prince Makhir became chieftain there. He and his descendants were close with the King and all his descendants." The King Charles mentioned here was Charles Martel not Charlemagne as claimed by others.

These Warrior Davidic Princes in the early Medieval period were prized by Jews, Christians and Muslims as their leaders because of their descent from King David. It would seem that these Davidic Princes were flexible with the outward form of their religion while maintaining their own mystical Jewish (or Jewish -Catholic)traditions in secret. Beginning in the 10th century, influenced by the Mandaen Gnostics, European society became increasingly anti-Jewish and the descendants of these families began to hide their Jewish origins and many of then embraced Catholicism. However these Davidic and Jewish origins are to be found in the genealogies, legends, and documents if one has eyes to see. It would seem in many cases that the genealogies and documents have been tampered with in order to hide these origins and to link these families to Merovingian origins rather than Davidic origins as the anti-Jewishness of European society increased. Even today there is a reluctance to acknowledge the place of these Jewish Princes in the history of Europe. The descendants of these Davidic Princes were responsible for much of the flowering of Jewish and Catholic mysticism throughout the Medieval period.

One of the biggest obstacles to accepting the Jewish identity of Theodoric has been his connection to Frankish nobles before 768. When one understands that Machir Theodoric's family had been in southern France for four generations this removes that difficulty. While Zuckerman's research was groundbreaking his linking of Machir to Natronai and confusing the Theodoric of 768 with his father Machir has somewhat confused those researching this dynasty. Jewish sources before Zuckerman wrote his book referred to the father of Machir as the Exilarch Judah, it was Zuckerman's speculation that Natronai and Machir were the same person.

The Restored American Monarchy

2011-04-21T11:41:00.000-07:00

In 2007 when I was in Jerusalem I received a prophecy through the charismatic gift of prophecy that the United States of America would split but one day be restored as part of a Catholic Monarchy during the Era of Peace. Recently on the Catholic website 'Spiritdaily' was mentioned a prophetic impression given to a Carmelite about the future of America in the coming Era of Peace: "..."I recently had an experience that I wouldn’t call a vision, but more like an inner impression, that lasted about two seconds, of what America will be like in the 'era of Peace,'" wrote a third-order Carmelite from Long Island. "It surprised me the amount of information I absorbed in that short period of time. It was impressed upon me that America still existed from coast to coast, meaning from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but great geographic changes had occurred. The changes were brought about primarily through natural disasters (earthquakes, floods), but I can’t tell you where in the country it happened – I just knew that it was necessary for purification and renewal. The social order was completely Christian, and the country was no longer a Republic, but more like a Kingdom. Black Americans had their own separate nation-state in the southeast of the country – separate, independent, but a part of the commonwealth of nation-states within the American Kingdom. American Indians also had a separate nation-state in the west. Now I know that the Black and Indian people live across the entire country, but for some reason my attention was drawn to the Southeast and West. Both peoples had requested self-determination, and in justice, it was granted to them, but both remained a part of the whole. I don’t know why the focus was on these two peoples, but my sense was that we could not have harmony until there was a 'balancing of the scales,' and I can only assume that the rest of the people were living together in what remained of the country in other nation-states but the specifics were not revealed. Overall the society was in the main agricultural, and prosperous, and peaceful. The feeling was that all was well."..."

As a citizen of the Commonwealth of Australia which is still a constitutional monarchy, the mention of an American Commonwealth under the Crown was of particular interest. As the future King of the Commonwealth of Australia prepares for his Wedding I am pleased to think that one day he may also be the King of the Commonwealth of America, while his brother becomes the Great Monarch Henry the Lion of Europe. We now await the revolution and civil war in England in which the monarchy is abolished, the king assassinated and the surviving Royals in Exile from England.

Tutankhamun's Y-dna close to a Druze from Israel

2011-03-17T10:22:00.000-07:00

In other blog articles I wrote about the R1b1b2 y-dna of Tutankhamun and his male ancestors. In one of those articles I criticised Kate Phizackerley article. Since then I noticed that she has admitted that she was wrong in regard to a number of points. She writes in response to Natson Nahar: "I agree with you in relation to your point about Tutankhamun's father. If Tut was R1b it would be very unlikely that his father wasn't also R1b. I knew that when I wrote it. I opted for elision because while it's unlikely in 1 generation, it's possible over say 20 or 40 generations for a paternal line to reconverge into R1b.However, with hindsight, I think I was wrong. I'd overlooked that Tutankhamun is 3,400 years (give or take) closer to the origin of R1b than we are. For that reason convergence would be very unlikely and would, had in occurred, left telltales in successive generations. I was wrong on that point..." She also nows thinks that Tutankhamun y-dna is R1b.

Sam Vass writes: "Sample 115 from Beit Jaan of The Druze: A Population Genetic Refugium of the Near East by Behar, Skorecki, Hammer, et alii, May 2008 at PLOS One differs by one with a 15 at DYS437 from the presumed Tut values..." Kate now admits that King Tutankhamun's y-dna may indeed be close to that of some of the Druze who belong to R1b. She writes to Marianne Luban: "...Actually my reading suggests that if Tutankhamun is R1b that a Druze connection is possible as an alternative to Sub-Sharan Africa. Because those two groups diverged some time ago it should theoretically be possible to consider whether Tutankhamun's DNA more closely matches one group or the other that I don't think that the tests done were extensive enough to permit that analysis. For the moment, a Druze link is something I think which should be considered a possibility..."

Marianne Luban writes: "...What I do know is there was, indeed, a genetic study of the Druze and I can post access to the resulting paper if anyone is interested. The Druze individual that Vass claimed has DNA numbers close to those of Tut lives in a village called Beit Jaan situated on Mount Meron in northern Israel. The Druze are a religious sect, not particularly ancient as such things go, only a few hundred years later than Islam. They are Islamic, but most Moslems consider them heretics..."

Kate has seemed obsessed with resisting a claim that Tutankhamun is European. In that point I agree and have always agreed that Tutankhamun is not European but he shares a y-dna that is common in Western Europe. I have always believed and claimed that this y-dna originates in Israel and the Middle East and it would seem that it being found among the Druze community in Israel confirms this. I also notice on y-search that a McNeil from Scotland is a genetic distance of 2 of 13 from Tutankhamun. This McNeil is y-dna R1b-L21 which I have always claimed to be the y-dna of the Davidic House of Israel and is common in the British Isles.

Dinosaurs Not so Ancient

2011-01-11T08:25:00.000-08:00

In a past post I have spoken of the stegosaurus on the 800 year old monuments of Angkor Wat in Cambodia and of the Diplodocus on the Sword of Calulus from the 8th century found in Tucson Arizona. Recently the media has spoken of cave paintings in which ancient men drew pictures of dinosaurs. There are also other objects which depict dinosaur-like creatures. And evolutionary scientists have done everything they can to discredit the discovery of human footprints alongside dinosaur prints. However now it seems mankind may have existed at the same time as the dinosaurs.

Now we learn that scientists have discovered that dinosaur artefacts have been found with blood collagen and soft tissue. This was believed to be impossible as blood collagen could not have survived for 65 million years from when the evolutionists claim the dinosaurs became extinct. Now one has to either believe that somehow dinosaur blood and soft tissue can survive for millions of years or lower the age of dinosaurs to within the last 30,000- 100,000 years (which is the accepted evolutionary date for how long blood collagen and soft tissue could last). As the evolutionists date modern man within the last 200,000 years then the dinosaurs must have lived at the same time as man. To believe that blood collagen and soft tissue could last for 65 million years or more is unscientific and ludicrous. The stegosaurus at Angkor Wat and the diplodocus of Tucson demonstrate that some dinosaurs lived into recent historic times while most probably died in the Great Deluge 4,700 years ago.

Jewish R1b U106 L47 and the Rhadanites

2010-12-27T13:36:00.000-08:00

In other blogs I have mentioned that the Rhadanites or Rhodans are of R1b U152 descended from Zerah ben Judah via the Milesians. These Jewish Rhodans traded along all the Rivers of Europe into the East and Asia. They also settled in North America at Rhoda the capital city of Calalus (Arizona). They also had another base in the Rhone (Rhodan) Valley in France and a coastal city called Redon (Renne). In France they were known as the Rhadanites, Redones and Radbards (Red Beards). Many retreated after their defeat by the Romans in the 1st century AD to their settlements in the Rhone Valley. Others went to Rhoda in America. They were joined by others from the American Rhoda in the 4th or 5th century when it would seem Rhoda threw off Jewish rule. Later the Makhiri dynasty would return Jewish Roman rule to Rhoda in the 8th century. However another y-dna line is associated with the Rhodans or Radbards of the Rhone Valley. This is those of R-U106 L47.

R1b-U106 L47 comes from a male line Frankish noble whose descendants are intermarried with both the Jewish Rhadanite or Rhodan (also called Radbard/red beards) of the Rhone Valley and the Jewish Makhiri dynasty of Septimania and Narbonne who were to reconquer Rhodan Calalus under Theuderic (Theodoric /Aymer le Chetif/ Nehemiah/Namon)the father of William Isaac of Gellone (known as Isaac of the Rhadanites). A Jewish Encyclopedia states: "... The important Jewish settlement in the Rhone Valley, which had been in existence during the Roman and Merovingian periods, increased and expanded through the Saône Valley..."

Gossallin (Gauzelm/Gosselin)or his father Herve a Frankish nobleman could be the Jewish founder of L47. Gossallin's wife Herimbue (Herriasbeuck/Altatrude)was the daughter of the second William of Orange (Guillaume de Gellone/Isaac the Rhadanite) son of Theuderic of the Ripariens (son of Machir ben Judah Narbonne Exilarch)and his wife Uren a Princess of the Rhadanites or Radbards. Also Gosselin's father is Herve of Maine who married Godhilde of the Radbards.

Gosselin's sons were Hugon Prince of Orange and Rorgon (Isaac) of Les Baux (also called Rorick or Roricon Count of Maine and Rennes). I believe Rorgon according to a Jewish custom married his neice Alatas Princess of Orange and they had at least two sons Radbard and Beraud (Bertrand)Prince of Orange and of Les Baux. He married secondly to Bilichild with whom he had six children. He also had two illegimate children with Charlemagne's daughter Rotrude. The later de Vaux family and the Les Baux descend from Beraud and his wife Gerberge of Mercoeur's son William Lord of Orange and Mercoeur (Makhiri). William is the father of Pons of Les Baux and Robert de Vaux.

My conclusion is that the L47 is a Jewish clan which split into Catholic and Jewish branches. While I think all L47 people have Jewish ancestry on the male line, that does not mean they are Jewish. It would seem that those that remained openly Jewish left France for Spain in the 13th century at the time of the Expulsion of the Jews from France. Some of them at the time of the Spanish expulsion in 1492 became Marranos and went to the Americas. Others who wished to remain openly Jewish went into the countries of Eastern Europe and had a tradition of being Ashkenazi of Sephardi ancestry.

However some may have gone East with the Rhadanite traders and may have been in Spain at an early date in the 10th century. One Polish history states: "...The first Jews to arrive on Polish territory were merchants who were referred to as Radhanites. The Radhanites were merchants whose trade extended over vast distances between east and west. They were fluent in Arabic, Persian, Greek, Spanish, "Frankish" and "Slav" languages. Their entrance occurred simultaneously with the formation of the Polish state. One of them was Ibrahim ibn Jacob, the author of the first extensive account about Poland. In the summer of 965 or 966 Jacob made a trade and diplomatic journey from his native Toledo in Moslem Spain to the Holy Roman Empire and Slavonic countries..."

Another map of Rhadanite Trade routes

Some such as the De Vaux family went with the Normans into England and a number of English, Welsh and Scottish families are L47 as a result. Robert de Vaux's grandfather Bertrand(Beraud)de Baux came to Normandy from Les Baux in 929 and became a favourite of Duke Robert of Normandy. His son Harald de Vaux and his three sons came with their relative William the Conqueror to England in 1066. A branch of this family also settled in Scotland soon after. It is also possible that the original Lords of Picton were a branch of this family that came to Wales with the Normans in the reign of Henry I or they may descend from a member of the Les Baux family that had gone to Flanders and then the ancestor settled in Picton in Pembrokeshire.

The Vance family website states: "...The medieval castle, Les Baux, still exists as ruins perched atop a rocky mountain ledge near Arles, France. From their castle, they took the name de Baux (pronounced “dee bow”). The first record of a de Baux is that of Gossallin who, in about 810, married Herriasbeuck, daughter and heiress of William, Sovereign of the Court of Orange, and niece of Bertha, wife of Emperor Charlemagne. The de Bauxs were feudal overlords owning seventy-nine villages and towns, mostly located along the Rhone River from Marseille north to near Lyon. One author says of them “The Princes of Les Baux were a barbaric race, … with wild mountain blood in their veins. Their association with Christianity was certainly not of a very intimate kind. They were a blind, bloodstained race, believing in violence and retaliation as the one and only means of grace in this world and troubling themselves, till the moment of death, with very little about the next. They generally reaped as they had sown; feared, hated, and often dying deaths as terrible as those which they had inflicted on their victims.” It was a powerful and influential family that married into a number of kingdoms and fiefdoms of Europe. They have been Dukes of Andrea; Princes of Joinville, Taranta, and Altamara; Sovereign Counts of Orange and Provence; and Kings of Vienne and Arles..."

After doing some research on the age of L48, L47,L44 and L46 on the Internet I found that there is no agreed age of these subclades. I found the age of L48 to be estimated anywhere from 500 BC to 1100 BC. I believe the lower estimate of 500 BC to be closer to the truth. My own estimates are that L48 branched off from R1b-U106 between 500-200 BC, L47 between 600-900 AD in the Frankish Empire, L44 between 900-1200 AD in Scotland and L46 between 1200-1500 AD in Britain. I speculate that the father of L47 was Gossallin of Maine of the 8th century; that the father of L44 was Phillip de Vaux of Galloway Scotland of the 12th century (or his father Rundolph de Vaux); and a member of the family of the Lords of Picton in Wales from the 13th century descended from Rundolph de Vaux was the father of L46. William de Vaux a brother of Phillip de Vaux and a Norman Knight went to Wales with Henry I or William II and became the first Lord of Picton from whom Sir Phillip de Picton of Newport was descended. Phillip's brother Sir William de Picton was the father-in-law of Sir John Wogan who built the present Castle in 1295. There are ruins of the earlier Castle built by the Norman Knight but the new Castle was built in a new location. Some may query why there are so many diferent surnames for L46 however I know from the study of my own y-dna in R1b M222 that there are numerous different surnames of people related to me within the last 600 years in the y-dna line.

1. Herve of Maine (grandson of Herve Duke of Maine (723)) married Godehilde Jewish princess of the Radbards
2. Gosselinn (Gauzelm) married Herimbue (Altatrude/Herriasbeuck)Princess of Orange daughter of William Isaac of Orange and Gellone [not to be confused with his uncle William Nathan of Gellone the Jewish Nasi of Septimania] and Lady Guibor of Narbonne
3. Rorgon (Roricon/Rorick) of Maine, Rennes and Les Baux married his neice Alatas Princess of Orange daughter of Hugon Prince of Orange. Their son Radbard or Rotbald is the ancestor of the Jewish L47 families.
4. Beraud (Bertrand)of Les Baux and Orange went to Normandy in 929 married Gerberge of Mercoeur (Makhiri)daughter of Ithier of Mercoeur
5. William de Baux Lord of Orange and Mercoeur married Gerberge daughter of Radbard (Rotbald de Arles) who also married Fulk II of Anjou
6. Robert de Vaux (Baux) married Alberada Hauteville of Falaise
7. Harald de Vaux went with William the Conqueror to England in 1066 with his three sons Hubert, Rundolph and Robert[ancestor of the L47 Fox family]
8. Rundolf de Vaux [founder of L44] whose son Phillip de Vaux went to Scotland
9. William de Vaux 1st Lord of Picton in Pembrokeshire Wales
10. Phillip de Picton
11 Sir William de Picton who had two sons William and Phillip
12 Sir Phillip de Picton of Newport {founder of L46]

Note 1: Herve or Charivius of Maine was the son of Rothgar or Roger of Maine. He may be a descendant of the Danish King Hroogar or Hrothgar son of Halbadaniz (Halfdan) of the sixth century. These kings descend from Sceaf which Yair Davidi of Britam associates with Joseph and Ephraim. "...Scelf Sheafing Equates with Joseph: The name Sheafing could be derived from Joseph since in the Scythian area the theophoric [name of God] element was dropped especially when it began with a vowel. That is, the Hebrew name "Yo-Seph" became "Seph" or Sheaf. There exist a connection and similarity between Tyrgitaus ancestor of the Scyths and Sceld Sheafing. Elsewhere we have shown the existence of a cult idolizing the Patriarch Joseph in the Scythian area. Sheaf or Sheafing was equated with the word "sheaf". Joseph had dreamt of sheaves of wheat and was symbolized by them. Sheafing reformed the agricultural and communal practices of his people as did Joseph. [The very name "Angle" (as in Anglo-Saxon) and Germanic tongues was interchangeable with the word "aegel" which in Hebrew means "bull-calf" and was considered a nickname for Ephraim (Jeremiah 31:18)]..." In the Norse Edda's the father of Sceaf is called Magi which may explain why the Les Baux family claimed descent from one of the three Magi (Baltazar)and had the Star of Bethlehem as their emblem. It seems to be a confused memory of their descent from the Baltic Goths. Rothgar of Maine was the father of Herve or Charivius and Gossalin Bishop of Maine. Herve's son Gozelin (named for his uncle the Bishop) was the father of Herve Count of Maine who married Godehilde of the Radbards.

Note 2: Dna can possibly mutate in a group rather than in an individual due to catastrophes, celestial events and other environmental factors. My personal feeling is that y-dna mutations back to about 600-700 BC are probably straight forward. Before this with the celestial events mentioned by Velikovsky and others in the 8th and 7th centuries BC and earlier in the 16th century and 15th centuries BC may have caused group and environmental mutations rather than individual ones. Geneticists are writing papers talking about environmental and other factors that may have effected the dna but many of us involved in genealogy and historical studies don't seem keen to listen as it might spoil the lovely dna trees we are developing. We all may turn out to be very wrong.

Note 3: It would seem that Harald de Vaux's Frankish name was Hunfroi de Vaux and that some anti-semitic Gentiles nicknamed him Herod after the Jewish King Herod. Herod or Herraud then became in England Harald. This seems to confirm that the family were still known to be Jews at this stage. His mother Alberada or Albertrude (Ava the Jewess/Ava Halabu) was a sister of the mother of William the Conqueror known as Harleva and Harlotta. In fact Harlotta's name is based on her title of Barbura ha Alufa-the Swan Chieftaness. Their father was the Barceloni Jewish Davidic Prince Mar Eliyahu Hiyya ben Barzillai (known as Richard de Mari and also was called Fulbert (Very Bright) and Tancredi (Thoughtful Counsellor). Hunfroi de Vaux was named after his mother's brother Hunfroi ( Hunfroi coming from Hen Tzvi=Graceful Deer)also called Henry or Humphrey de Mari and Abagelard. His cousin Hunfroi (known as Humphrey cum Barba) the son of his uncle Hunfroi also came to England with William. He was distinguished from his cousin by being known by his nickname of Herod. William the Conqueror had been reared as a Catholic as was fitting for the heir to the duchy of Normandy, however he brought many Jews with him to England including his aristocratic Jewish cousins. These early Norman kings conscious of their own recent Jewish background treated the Jews well in their Kingdom putting them directly under the control and protection of the King with the freedom to move wherever they desired within the Kingdom.

Cohanim R1b1b2 ht35 from first Temple Times

2010-12-21T07:27:00.000-08:00

The family and group studies of R1b projects keep confounding the experts. The family projects of R1b M222 has drastically shortened the age of R1b and R1b1b2. Then the shock of shocks was that Tutankhamen is not only R1b1b2 but of ht15 demonstrating that R1b1b2 ht15 was also to be found in the Middle East at an early date (how early depends on whether you date him conventionally or by Velikovsky revision) and is not just some Crusader raping Jewish and Muslim women. Now R1b1b2 ht 35 found among those with traditional claims of Cohanim ancestry goes back to the time of the First Temple.

Sean Silver of the Cohane Jewish R1b project writes in December 2010:"...I just came back from the 6th annual International Conference of Genetic Genealogy, sponsored by Family Tree DNA, where I had the chance to talk to some of the world's foremost population geneticists and experts about our project. Interest is extremely high and our project itself was instrumental in compelling the scientific community to change the prevailing theory on R1b migration. They are now convinced that a portion of R1b, which includes a sizeable portion of our project, never entered Western Europe and that the genetic footprints left by our ancestors indicate a legitimate Middle Eastern origin...."

Sean Silver then lists eight findings: "...The following findings are different than what was first expected:
1. Far fewer evidence of admixture (introduction of non-Jewish DNA)
2. Far fewer clusters (groups of members with a recent common ancestor, within recorded history)
3. These clusters are far older
4. Almost half of our project members are part of a distinct and ancient Middle Eastern lineage, likely predating the founding of Judaism 4,000 years ago
5. We have roughly 300 members, all (save a rare few) of which have a definitive Jewish paternal lineage without a history of conversion
6. Those we do not have such a history are adopted, and were admitted because they closely match our clusters (I consulted with Bennett Greenspan, President of Family Tree DNA, on their inclusion)
7. Almost all our project members do not have any non-Jewish matches beyond the basic Y-12 YDNA test
8. We have 31 Cohanim (all of whom have an oral tradition of being Cohanim) in two distinct clusters, all of whom who only have Cohane matches. This lineage seems ancient and per Bennett Greenspan predates Roman times. It is possible, via a rough calculation, that they may have a common ancestor around 2,600 years ago (around the time of the first temple)..." Sean then explains what this means : "So what does this mean? It means that at least half of our project members have been Jews since ancient times and almost all our members did not become Jews as a result of recent conversions. There is a chance that a sizeable portion of the other half may have Middle Eastern origins as well...".

I believe the one half of this group are the Cohanim, the other the Levites. Here we find families that for centuries claimed Cohen status that have genetic proof that they share a common cluster and that their common ancestor takes them back to First Temple Times. For me this demonstrates that they are the real Levites. The only other contender for Cohen is the J Cohens who would also seem to go back to First Temple times. Either the R1b or J2 or J1 are the Levitical Cohens descended from Aaron or they are the Samaritan-origin Cohens. When we look at the y-dna of the Samaritans we find both J2 and J1 and E1b but no R1b. We know that the Scriptures state that the Samaritans are not of Israelite blood but come from areas of the Assyrian Empire especially from Cuthath. I hold that the J y-dna is the Assyrian-Aramean y-dna and its brother I is possibly the Assyrian y-dna from Ashur the brother of Aram. Velikovsky in his writings ("Beyond the Mountains of Darkness") mentions that the Assyrians placed some of the Israelites into Europe in the area of the middle Volga near the city of Samara. Later the royal Ashur race of the Assyrians fled from the Persian conquest to Samara region and they later became known as the Samartians (I y-dna). The Israelites (R1b Scythian Cimmerians) fled West from the Assyrians into the land of Arsareth. Later the R1a Edomite Scythians pushed the Samartians out of this region.

Sean Silver also shares how difficult it was for him to get anyone to accept that R1b could possibly be an old Jewish y-dna group but it seems that his project has forced many experts to accept that R1b is not just recent admixture in the Jewish community but goes back to ancient times. Others are having a hard time to get anyone to consider that even alot of R1b ht15 among Jews is from ancient Jewish families not just those whose ancestors have converted in recent times. One may start with the r1b1b2 L21 Ashkenazim of Eastern Europe that seem to be a distinct Jewish group among Jews. There are also Sephardi Jews of this R1b L21 haplogroup. This group is found only in small percentages in Spain (5%) and that Sephardi Jews have it, leads one to consider that the Catholics of R1b L21 are of crypto Jewish ancestry [which some of them indeed claim to be]. I believe this L21 group is of Davidic lineage. This is also the group of much of Europe's Royalty who until recent times usually married among themselves.

One criticism of Sean Silver is that he assumes that all R1b1b2 ht15 is non-Jewish. It seems that those who will follow in demonstrating that certain ht15 Jews have been Jews for centuries may come up against the same kind of battles that Sean himself experienced. We all owe a debt of gratitude to people like Sean Silver who are running family and small group Dna projects which are revealing the truth at a much more rapid rate than would have happened otherwise. The openness of the data to the general public protects against misuse by entrenched academic elites.

Note: There is also an Ashkenazi cluster from Belarus that is R-L21 and has traditional Levite status for many generations. It would seem that this group is in fact of R1b Davidic ydna not R1b Levite. Their ancestor was a scion of the Davidic dynasty who took ha Levi identity in the Middle Ages possibly from a maternal ancestor of the ha Levi families.

Dating of the Flood and the Creation of Adam

2010-12-16T09:01:00.000-08:00

In my writings I state that the Great Flood of Noah occurred about 2700 BC. I came to this figure by using the Book of Jubilees in conjunction with the dating of the Exodus in the 15th century BC. Others using the Massoretic and Septuagint come to other dates. Thus many date the Flood to around 2300 BC whereas I date the Tower of Babel to this period (2313/2 BC).

I also noticed that the Jewish calendar is about 200 years too short but in Judaism there is a higher date that takes these missing years into account though not often spoken about. One of the Rabbis in the Yeshivah I attended in Israel mentioned it but then quickly changed the subject. The shorter calendar was preferred as there is a Jewish tradition that new revelation of the Torah would end 4000 years after Creation. The shorter Calendar served two purposes it gave time for the writing of the Mishnah and moved the end of the 4000 years away from the birth of Jesus. Some talk about 163 missing years due to calendar shifts. However I believe the missing years come mainly from the dating of the time the Israelites were in Egypt. The short date supporters believe that the 430 years refers to the time of Abraham to the Exodus and thus the Israelites were only in Egypt for 215 years rather than 430.

As a devout Catholic Jew I also take the dating of Blessed Anne Catharine Emmerich in her visions seriously which states that Jesus said the Creation of man took place 4028 years before the time he was speaking (he was 31 at the time). I also noticed that Luisa Piccaretta also speaks of the 4000 years before Jesus' birth. Thus I was loathe to accept a date older than 4000 BC. I was convinced that my dating of the Flood to 2700 BC was correct. This however meant that there was only 1300 year period before the Flood. Previously I had been happy with a date of 5500 BC for the Creation of Adam but reading Emmerich and Picarreta made me pause and review my ideas.

Jewish sources also speak about a 2000 years of chaos without the Torah from Adam to Abraham. And then a 2000 year period of Torah beginning with Abraham. Then a 2000 year Messianic Era follow by a 1000 year Sabbath Rest. Luisa also says something very similiar.

My reading of the dates in the Massoretic and Septuagint just didn't fit. For some reason I had used the book of Jubilees to date the Flood and the Exodus but I had not gone back from Noah to Adam in the Book of Jubilees. How surprised and pleased I was when I read that the Book of Jubilees gives the antediluvian period as 1308 years and that the Samaritan Bible gives the period as 1307. Thus I could now have a date of 4000 BC for the Creation and still keep my dating of the Flood around 2700 BC.

Jesus also said in the visions of Anne Catharine Emmerich that there had been other ways of dating the years which is why there were differences. We know from Velikovsky that the year was 360 days and before the Exodus it was different again and also before the Flood. Emmerich in mystic vision said: "...The scholars of the present day who write about Egypt are in gross error. They accept so many things concerning the Egyptians as history, science, and learning, which nevertheless have no other foundation than astrology and false visions. That any nation could remain as stupid and beastly as the Egyptians is a proof of it. But these savants reject such demoniacal inspirations and practices as impossible. They esteem the Egyptians more ancient than they really are, because in those early times they appear to have possessed such knowledge of abstruse and hidden things.But I saw that, even at the coming of Semiramis to Memphis, these people, in their pride had designedly confused their calendar. Their ambition was to take precedence of all nations in point of time. With this end in view, they drew up a number of complicated calendars and royal genealogical tables. By this and frequent changes in their computations, order and true chronology were lost. That this confusion might be firmly established, they perpetuated every error by inscriptions and the erection of great buildings. For a long time they reckoned the ages of father and son, as if the date of the former’s demise were that of the latter’s birth. The kings, who waged constant war with the priests on the subject of chronology, inserted among their forefathers the names of persons that never existed. Thus the four kings of the same name who reigned simultaneously in Thebes, Heliopolis, Memphis, and Sais, were in accordance with this design, reckoned one after the other I saw too that once they reckoned nine hundred and seventy days to a year, and again, years were computed as months. I saw a pagan priest drawing up a chronological table in which for every five hundred years, eleven hundred were set down. I saw these false computations of the pagan priests at the same time that I beheld Jesus teaching on the Sabbath at Aruma. Jesus speaking before the Pharisees of the call of Abraham and his sojourn in Egypt, exposed the errors of the Egyptian calendar. He told them that the world had now existed 4028 years. When I heard Jesus say this, He was himself thirty-one years old."

Venerable Mary of Agreda gives the year of the Creation as 5199 BC which seems to agree with many Septuagint manuscripts and the Roman martyrologies- however I suspect this is using another method of enumerating the years. Velikovsky seems to be saying that the length of the year in the Middle Kingdom was about 225 days long. A Midrash states that there was a period when the earth revolved round the sun 400 times in 210 years- this may have been the 210 year period between the cataclysism of the Tower of Babel in 2313 BC until about 2100 in the time of Abraham (Sodom and Gommorah etc). It would also seem that the year was 360 days after the Exodus until 747 BC. However If the year was also shorter after the Flood until the tower of Babel, then we may get to where 4000 BC based on 365.24 days equals 5199 BC based on counting revolutions of the earth round the sun. It would seem that the year was 364 days before the Flood according to the Book of Enoch and Enoch speaking in the Book of Jubilees. Some writers believe that the the year before the Flood had 360 days basing it on the account in Genesis. However Moses is beholding the Torah in a time where the year is now 360 days, so it is only natural that he describes it from the time perspective of the 360 days calendar. Even before the Flood the year may have changed after major cataclysmic events such as when a third of the earth was flooded in the days of Enosh.

While reading and reflecting on Ramban's commentary on Torah in my holy hours of adoration, I came upon a reference by Ramban (Nahmanides) to Rambam about the genealogy of the nations connecting with the principles of the Creation of the world. Rambam (Maimonides) writes in Moreh Nebuchim III:50: "...the time which elapsed from Adam to Moses was not more than about two thousand five hundred years...". Thus Maimonides confirms that Adam was created about 4000 BC. Toriah.org website also mentions this statement of the Rambam and then mentions another place where he speak of the 2,500 years: "...When the Rambam discusses the mitzvah of shemitta and yovel, he identifies the precise historical year this mitzvah first took place as follows: “When did they first start to count? 14 years after they entered the land…7 years they were involved in conquering, seven years in dividing up the land…it therefore turns out that on the two thousandth, five hundred and third year from the Rosh Hashana of molad Adam haRishon, being the second year of creation (the first 5 days of creation were the last 5 days of the first virtual year of creation - see Rosh haShana 8a Tosfos s.v. Litkufos), they started to count. (Hilchos Shemitta v’Yovel 10:2)..."

Note: Of course those who accept the evolutionary beliefs will think I am mad. I have held different beliefs at different periods of my life about evolution and the age of the earth and the age of man but now hold to the age of man as 6000 years- the more I read and study the more I am convinced of this. Evolutionists often like to make out that anyone who doesn't believe in their ideas is an ignorant and uneducated hillbilly. I may be a hillbilly but I am certainly not uneducated and I know many well- degreed people who also do not hold with evolutionary theory. However I am always open to new evidence and being convinced otherwise. I also accept that one can be a sincere Catholic and hold to evolutionary ideas, this is an area which the Church leaves to science and the individual Catholic (with certain clarifications)to hold to the theories which they find most convincing. Both Pope Benedict XVI and Father Stanley Jaki (who personally both hold to some kind of evolutionary belief)have said that Catholics must not say that evolution is a proven fact.

The Mystery of Gomer and Riphath

2010-12-16T01:10:00.000-08:00

The Gaelic accounts of the ancestors of the Milesians and Scots sometimes mention Rifath Scot as an ancestor and in other accounts they mention Gomer. Both Gomer and Riphath are mentioned as descendants of Japhet in Genesis and that their lands are in the Isles of the Goyim (Europe) after the Flood. They later left Europe during the advent of the Ice Age and moved to the East and the South. The lands they left retained their names and later people entering Europe at the end of the Ice Age (1500 BC) became associated with their names.

The Jewish Book of Jasher associates Riphath with Western France and the British Isles (the Isles of Riphath). It refers to the Riphathi as Bartonim and their land as Bartonia (Britannia). They live by the river Ledah (Lud/ London). This may allude to the fact that the English Channel at this time before the Ice Age was a river.Ledah may also be the river Loire and the Bartonim refer to the Bretons. The Josippon calls the Ledah the river Lira. The name Ledah alludes to the story of Leda and the Swan and the Thames River was famous for its Swans. Edmund Spencer in the 16th century links the Thames river and two swans swimming on it with the story of Jove and Leda. Leda was the mother of Helen of Troy and British legend has long associated London with New Troy (Trinovantes) which later was called Lud and then London. It would seem that King Lud was named after the River. Dun Lud- the fortress of Lud became Londinium under the Romans. The Swan has been for centuries the official emblem of the Thames River and the swans there are called the Royal Swans as they are protected by Royal charter.

Gomer in the Book of Jasher is associated with France and the River Senah (Seine). The name of Riphath is connected with the refining of metals and later the lands of Riphath in France and the British Isles was called Tzarefat which also has a meaning connected with the refining of metals. The British Isles were also called the Casserides or Tin Isles. Both Riphath or Refat and Tza-refat have the Refat in the name. France is today called Tzarfat in Hebrew. Radak and Rashi referred to France as the Exile of Tzarefat mentioned in Obadiah, the place where the Lost Tribes were located. The Book of Jasher and the Josippon seem to draw on a common source before the 10th century for the identification of the lands in Europe.

The Book of Jasher in Chapter 10 states "...7 And these are the sons of Japheth according to their families, Gomer, Magog, Medai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras; these are the children of Japheth according to their generations. 8 And the children of Gomer, according to their cities, were the Francum, who dwell in the land of Franza, by the river Franza, by the river Senah. 9 And the children of Rephath are the Bartonim, who dwell in the land of Bartonia by the river Ledah, which empties its waters in the great sea Gihon, that is, oceanus. 10 And the children of Tugarma are ten families, and these are their names: Buzar, Parzunac, Balgar, Elicanum, Ragbib, Tarki, Bid, Zebuc, Ongal and Tilmaz; all these spread and rested in the north and built themselves cities. 11 And they called their cities after their own names, those are they who abide by the rivers Hithlah and Italac unto this day. 12 But the families of Angoli, Balgar and Parzunac, they dwell by the great river Dubnee; and the names of their cities are also according to their own names. 13 And the children of Javan are the Javanim who dwell in the land of Makdonia, and the children of Medaiare are the Orelum that dwell in the land of Curson, and the children of Tubal are those that dwell in the land of Tuskanah by the river Pashiah. 14 And the children of Meshech are the Shibashni and the children of Tiras are Rushash, Cushni, and Ongolis; all these went and built themselves cities; those are the cities that are situate by the sea Jabus by the river Cura, which empties itself in the river Tragan. 15 And the children of Elishah are the Almanim, and they also went and built themselves cities; those are the cities situate between the mountains of Job and Shibathmo; and of them were the people of Lumbardi who dwell opposite the mountains of Job and Shibathmo, and they conquered the land of Italia and remained there unto this day. 16 And the children of Chittim are the Romim who dwell in the valley of Canopia by the river Tibreu. 17 And the children of Dudonim are those who dwell in the cities of the sea Gihon, in the land of Bordna. 18 These are the families of the children of Japheth according to their cities and languages, when they were scattered after the tower, and they called their cities after their names and occurrences; and these are the names of all their cities according to their families, which they built in those days after the tower..."

The Jewish Book of Jasher was edited in the early Medieval period to identify the places mentioned in the original but is drawing on ancient information. We see here that Job is mentioned as connected with Europe. This seems to be confirmed by Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich who mentions Job living in a land over mountains in the North. His tribe was forced to move South due to the advent of cold weather.

In the Bible there are two Gomers mentioned- one male and one female. The male Gomer is a descendant of Japhet. The female Gomer is the prostitute wife of Hosea- she becomes a symbol of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Yair Davidy of Britam recently discovered that the late Rebbe of Ger, Rabbi Israel Alter, writes in his book "Beis Yisroel" that the descendants of Joseph would be called Gamer and Gomrim. The Rebbe of Ger teaches: "...And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had placed the children of Israel under solemn oath, saying, 'God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones [essence] from here with you' (Exodus 13:19). Perhaps this hints at the completion [GaMeR] of carrying out a commandant. This is why the Children of Israel are called GOMRIM [Gomerites? Completers?], [as Joseph said] "and you shall carry up my bones [essence] from here" (Genesis 50:25). This is the point concerning all Redemption of the Children of Israel from all their Places of Exile, that they will be called GaMeR [Gomer]. They are advised to use the Torah and the power of Moses to keep the Sanctity of the Covenant [Sexual Morality] and they will be redeemed as we may learn from the Holy Books... they join together. Joseph is great and amongst his brothers there is none greater. Moses is great and in Israel there is none greater. The indication is that through them both will there be virtue ensuring the continued endurance of the Children of Israel. ..."

Another Gomer is mentioned in the Milesian traditions and is associated with Kamiros or Kamira on the island of Rhodes. In some accounts this child of Rhoda is a son, in others a daughter. I believe that this Gomer or Kamir {of R1b-l21 y-dna] is the ancestor of the Cymri of Wales. This Welsh Gomer is named after the older Gomer who was married to Hosea. The people of Israel/Joseph[of R1b-u106 y-dna] associated with the name Gomer are the Cimmerians who went to live in the future Frankish lands.

The Bible makes it clear that the Lost Tribes would be living North West of Israel in the Isles of the Goyim (also called the isles of the West or Isles of the Sea) in the latter days. The sons of Japhet were removed from Europe in preparation for the arrival of the Israelites who are now hidden as Gentiles in the Isles of the Gentiles. It would seem that the Gaelic scribes confused the name of Rafael for their healing kings or Exilarchs with the name of Riphath given to the British Isles and with the Milesian Riffians of Morocco and created the person of Riphath Scot as a Milesian ancestor. In recension B of the Lebor Gabala Erren it has Rifath Scot son of Gomer going to Babylon rather than Fenius son of Nel. It would thus seem that this is a confused rememberance that Fenius (Phineas)was from the Isles of Riphath in the land of Scotia. Thus Phineas is remembered as Fenius of Scottish Riphath and the scribes or bards link this to Riphath son of Gomer mentioned in Genesis.

The anointed healing Monarchies of England, France and Scotland who touched for healing followed in the tradition of these Davidic Exilarchs descended from the Rafael Rosh Galuta's who became Kings. In British legend they were remembered as Fisherkings.

Middle Eastern R1b y-dna

2010-12-14T09:29:00.000-08:00

In a recent posting to the Britam website an interesting study of the y-dna of northern Iraqi Jews, Armenians and Chaldean/Assyrian Christians are mentioned. All three groups should have a significant amount of R1b y-dna if the y-dna of the Israelite Patriarchs is R1b. The Armenians have always believed that certain groups of Israelites passed through their lands and left an impact on their population. The Chaldean and Assyrian Christians of Iraq also should have significant R1b as they are believed to descend from the Jewish Christians of Iraq.

What are the results? The recent studies reveal that over a quarter of North Iraqi Jews, Armenians and Chaldean/Assyrian Christians have R1b y-dna. Family studies such as those who belong to R1b M222 have demonstrated that mutations take place quicker than the evolutionists would like us to believe. The ridiculously ancient datings seems to dismiss the major movements of people in the last 4,000 years. It is interesting that many are talking about the last ice age as ending 15,000 years ago whereas Velikovsky demonstrated that it ended 3500 years ago. The so-called Neolithic farmers of Europe were post 1500 BC and not 9,000 years ago.

Another source quoted on the Britam website states: "...Then another new controversy materialised, as large numbers of the population started to take genetic tests to find their relatives. Those who embarked upon this journey were looking for close matches with others in the databases, which were held by the genetic testing companies. As a result of more and more people publishing their test results through the internet other anomalies have suddenly appeared. It was found that markers have mutated between cousins in the same family, when estimates calculated through population studies predicted that these same markers would not mutate for hundreds or even thousands of years. This evidence indicated a serious flaw in genetic dating methods and seriously discredited any dating related to population statistics that had been made in the last few years..."

The above diagramme of the Ice Age demonstrates how quickly our knowledge is changing in regard to the origins and movements of the y-dna groups. This diagramme shows R1b, I and R1a sitting in Refugia waiting for the Ice Age to end before expanding into Europe. We now know that all three groups originated in the Middle East and spread from there beginning in the Bronze and Iron ages in Europe (after 1500 BC according to Velikovsky). R1b represents the Israelite presence in Europe, I the Assyrian/Samartian and R1a the Edomite. Studies have demonstrated that the dna of the Neolithic period in Europe is different to today's Europeans. Thus the movement of these groups into Europe could have begun at the earliest in the Bronze Age. Another recent study stated that R1b were farmers from the middle East from the regions of Iraq and Syria.

David Deryshire writes: "...Most Britons are direct descendants of farmers who left modern day Iraq and Syria... a new study has shown. After studying the DNA of more than 2,000 men, researchers say they have compelling evidence that four out of five white Europeans can trace their roots to the Near East. The discovery is shedding light on one of the most important periods of human history - the time when our ancient ancestors abandoned hunting and began to domesticate animals. They found that 80 per cent of European men shared the same Y chromosone mutation and after analysing how the mutation was distributed across Europe, were able to retrace how Europe was colonised...Britons are descended from farmers who migrated from the Persian Gulf...European farming began...in the Fertile Crescent - a region extending from the eastern Mediterranean coast to the Persian Gulf and which includes modern day Iraq, Syria, Israel and southeast Turkey. The region was the cradle of civilisation and home to the Babylonia, Sumer and Assyrian empires...Some archaeologists have argued that some of these early farmers travelled around the world - settling new lands and bringing farming skills with them...'In total more than 80 per cent of European men have Y chromosomes which descend from incoming farmers. 'It seems odd to think that the majority of men in Ireland have fore fathers from the near East and that British people have forefathers from the near East.' The findings are published in the science journal PLoS Biology. Dr Patricia Balaresque, a co-author of the study, said: 'This means that more than 80 per cent of European Y chromosomes descend from incoming farmers.'.."

Yair Davidy writes: "...Until recently the accepted ancestry of most people of West European origin was assumed to be thousands of miles away from the Middle East and ten thousands of years back. It is now becoming accepted that the place of ancestry was the Middle East...and instead of 100s or 10s of thousands of years the difference between Brit-Am and the scientific CONJECTURE is ca. 1000 years. The Scientists now agree that European Neolithic DNA for males is DIFFERENT from that of today. They therefore say that the ancestors of today's population must have arrived in in Europe in the Early Bronze Age i.e. ca. 2000-1500 BCE. We say the time of Exile of the Ten Tribes was in ca. 700 BCE and from there they went to Western Europe in stages. Other peoples from the Middle East (Assyrians, Moabites, Ammonites, Canaanites, Edomites, Aramaeans, etc) may also have contributed to the genetic make-up of Europe and migrated earlier. Whether the ancestors of West Europeans really did arrive in the Early Bronze Age is however uncertain. The scientists do not KNOW for sure or even to any reasonable degree of certainty. No reliable tests are yet available. Tests from Neolithic Times have been published PROVING that Neolithic Peoples were not the ancestors of most Europeans. The next stage downward is the Early Bronze Age which is later BUT tests from this later time have not yet been published! So we do not know. Even if we did know and results were available (and they are not) and if theoretically they were to show that the European Ancestors were then present in the west we could contest the Chronology and Dating since at all events we have claims against the Dating as it is. We have not yet however reached that stage and I somehow doubt we will.I have seen indications that some tests indicate that even in MEDIEVAL TIMES OF LESS THAN A THOUSAND YEARS AGO the DNA of Europe was somewhat different. We suspect some of the scientific researchers in effect already agree with us but do not know how to reconcile it with history as it is conventionally understood..."

If we take Velikovsky's chronology by shortening Egyptian history by 500-600 years, then the Bronze Age begins in Europe around 1400 BC and lasts until 900 BC. We thus also shorten Mycenean and Minoan history. Velikovsky dates the Trojan war to the early 7th century [687 AD] and Homer to the mid 7th century. The Dorians arrived in Greece about 700 according to Velikovsky. The Dorians came from the Israelite port city of Dor. The Dorians being Israelites fleeing the Assyrian conquest. The Dorians belonged to R1b y-dna. Some argue about whether R1b originated in the Caucasus or Anatolia. We know that both these places were places where the Assyrians exiled the Israelites to in the 8th century. It is in fact Israel that is the place of origin for R1b.

It is interesting that a recent study on Ancient Nordic dna (Melchoir et al) also shows that the dna in Southern Scandanavia today arrived in the late Iron Age and not the Neolithic or Bronze Age. Another study shows that Neolithic German y-dna is very different to the modern. Davidski writes: "I woke up this morning to find that Europe's oldest confirmed Y-DNA haplogroups are now G2a3 and F* (and not R1a1a anymore). That's what Haak et al. discovered after testing early Neolithic LBK remains from Germany. However, it appears these German ancients had much more in common genetically with Near Easterners than with Europeans. Indeed, the data in this paper strongly suggests that these LBK communities were the result of long range expeditions deep into Europe by people looking for new farm land. It seems they originated somewhere around modern-day Anatolia, possibly as far as Iran, and didn't leave much of an imprint on our (ie. European) genetics, at least as far as mtDNA and Y-DNA are concerned..."

We know from the Bible that after the Great Flood of Noah (about 2700 BC)Europe was settled by the clans of Japheth. Europe was called the Isles of the Goyim. Europe was warm at this time. About 2300 BC major cataclysmic events happened and the techtonic plates shifted and the oceans began to rapidly cool. One writer states: "...The cause of ice ages remains controversial for both the large-scale ice age periods and the smaller ebb and flow of glacial/interglacial periods within an ice age. The general consensus is that it is a combination of several important factors: atmospheric composition (the relative amounts of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, sulfur dioxide, and various other gases and particulates in the atmosphere), changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun known as Milankovitch cycles (and possibly the Sun's orbit around the galaxy), the motion of tectonic plates resulting in changes in the relative location and amount of continental and oceanic crust on the Earth's surface, variations in solar output, the orbital dynamics of the Earth-Moon system, the impact of relatively large meteorites, and eruptions of supervolcanoes..." During the time of Job about 2200 BC the weather started to freeze and many tribes had to flee to the South.

Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich speaks about the advent of the cold weather in the Northern lands at the time of Job. It is interesting that the Book of Job seems to allude to the advent of the Ice Age. One Creation Science website states:
"...Interestingly, there seem to be certain references to this Ice Age in the ancient book of Job (37:9–10, 38:22–23, 29–30), who perhaps lived in its waning years. (Job lived in the land of Uz, Uz being a descendant of Shem [Gen. 10:23], so that most conservative Bible scholars agree that Job probably lived at some time between the Tower of Babel and Abraham.) God questioned Job from a whirlwind, ‘Out of whose womb came the ice? And the frost of the heavens, who fathered it? The waters are hidden like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen’ (Job 38:29–30). Such questions presuppose Job knew, either firsthand or by historical/family records, what God was talking about. This is probably a reference to the climatic effects of the Ice Age—effects not now seen in the Middle East...". During the Ice Age in Europe the Middle East and Egypt were already in the Bronze Age. At this time R1b y-dna was to be mainly found in Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon and posssibly in Egypto-Israelite colonies in Crete, Sardinia, Greece, Cyprus, Anatolia and Iberia and the islands.

Note: It would seem some scientists are coming closer to the ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky all the time, just as many historians and archeologists are accepting some of his ideas such as the Exodus occuring in the time of the 13th dynasty. A new book "Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps" by Michael Rampino says that the idea of Darwinian gradualism is proved to be wrong.

Heber Scot and I Chronicles 4

2010-12-13T13:47:00.000-08:00

When I was a teenager I was fascinated with reading the Milesian genealogies and I would catch the train to Perth and go to the State Library and read the Milesian genealogies of O'Hart. At that time or soon after I realised that the ancient Irish bards and monks had somewhat confused the stories by trying to piece together the genealogies and tales to match with the Bible. We see a bold attempt to link the Milesian genealogies with the Bible. However the monks seemed to have got confused and in some accounts they claim the Milesians descend from Noah and Japheth through Magog, others claim through Javan and others through Gomer.

However I noticed a strange parallel with the genealogies and 1 Chronicles 4:17-18. The Milesian accounts speak of the person of Heber Scot and I noticed that here was a Heber father of Soco. Many speak of the father of Heber as Gede(Gaythelos)and I noticed the name Gedor. Even the connection with Noah seems to have come from the name Zanoah mentioned here in this passage on the Ezrahites or Zerahites of the Tribe of Judah. The Milesian genealogies also are headed with the name Baath or Bathath which alludes to Bithiah the daughter of Pharoah who married Mered. This Baath is confused with a later Bat Scotia who is the mother of Phineas or Fenius. The Milesian genealogies also include the name Esru and Sru which alludes to Ezra or Esri (in the Septuagint). They also mention Jara which alludes to Jered.

"And the sons of Ezra were, Jether, and Mered, and Epher, and Jalon: and she bare Miriam, and Shammai, and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa. And his wife Jehudijah bare Jered the father of Gedor, and Heber the father of Socho, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah. And these are the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, which Mered took." [1 Chronicles 4:17-18]

It is clear that the original accounts of the Milesians referred to their descent from Zerah Judah and this passage from 1 Chronicles 4. The original manuscripts were most likely written in the ancient Hebrew-Phoenician Script and the Ogam Script and caused the monks difficulties in reading them. One fortunately today can begin to reconstruct the genealogies and stories by referring to the Irish Annals and the Lebor Gabala Erenn, Geoffrey Keating, Nennius and John of Fordun among other sources.

Due to the repeated naming patterns in the first and second centuries it is obvious that the inhabitants of Ireland, Britian and Scotland had an already developed literature of the Milesian History. These repeated names however has caused much confusion to the later scribes who tried to preserve these stories and genealogies by creating an ancient history of Ireland linked to the Biblical events.

The sources mention the Milesian ancestors being in Egypt on two occassions. They speak about a daughter of Pharoah called Scota in both accounts. The first is when the Zerahites were in Egypt in the time of Mered who was the vizier of Egypt and married to Bithiah the daughter of Pharoah. The second time was when the daughters of Zedekiah who were the granddaughters of pharoah Ramses II (Necho II). These daughters are Sukkota (Istnofret/Isetnofret) and Tamar (Tia).

According to some writers Sukkota or Scota went to Spain and Tia to Ireland. However it was their descendants that went to Spain and Ireland. I believe Sukkota as the granddaughter of Rameses II was buried in her own tomb in Saqqara. The National Geographic reported in March 2009: "A 3,000-year-old noblewoman's tomb complex has been uncovered in Egypt, archaeologists announced Tuesday. The tomb has been identified as belonging to a woman named Isisnofret—possibly the granddaughter of Pharaoh Ramses II... Hieroglyphics on a sarcophagus in the tomb identify Isisnofret as a spst, or noblewoman—an honorific reserved for women of the royal family or of otherwise exceptional status. Long hidden by sand and rubble on a rocky outcrop on the outskirts the ancient royal burial city of Saqqara, the complex measures 89 by 34 feet (27 by 10 meters)..."

Just as Velikovsky demonstrated that the Egyptian priests and later the Egyptologists have exaggerated and extended Egyptian history so the Irish monks did the same with Irish history to complete with the antiquity of Egypt. For many years certain writers have spoken of Zedekiah's daughter called Tamar Tephi or Tea Tephi who lived in Egypt. Tia is a Hebrew nick-name or diminuitive for the name Tamar or Tamara. And when one realigns Egyptian history then this Princess starts to make sense. Ramses II had a sister called Tia or Tiya so we see it is a name found in the Royal Family of Rameses. We also see that Ramses II had a daughter who was also his wife called Bint-Anath (Bat-Osnat) whose name is purely Hebrew or Phoenician. She is the daughter of Ramses II's wife Queen Isnetnofret who is not of the Egyptian Royal family but most likely the daughter of King Amon of Judah. Isis or Isnet is the Egyptian for the Hebrew Osnat or Asenath and nofret means beautiful. Thus Isnetnofret means Asenath the Beautiful. This for me confirms that the Jewish genius Velikovsky was correct in his placing of Ramses II at the time of the Exile of Judah to Babylon.

It is also possible that Tia's sister Sukkota or Scota was also known as Asenath and in Egypt became Isnetnofret of Saqqara. Saqqara (Sakkara) being remembered as Sukkota or Scota just as Tephi was a shortening of the name for Tahpanhes. Saqqara was originally named for Sokar the Egyptian God of the underworld and some of the descendants of Nilius and Asenath of Sakkara went to Morocco where they were called the Beni Sakkar. This Berber tribe later returned to Egypt from Morocco for which the village of Saqqara is said to be named. Others of the Beni Sakkar or Skalota went to Rhodes and to the Milesian colonies in the Black Sea region which became known as Scythia after their ancestress.

The name of Libyan was once given to the Berbers and it would seem that when the Milesian accounts speak of the Milesians going to Libya they mean to Morocco which was populated by Libyan or Berber tribes. The Gaelic histories speak of Rifath Scot which may allude to the Riffians (Tarifti) of Morocco. The name of one of the Milesians who invaded Ireland was called Amergin and one name for the Berbers was Amerzigh. It is believed that there was a Jewish Kingdom in Morocco in Second Temple times. The Jewish Morocco webiste states: "...Other Jews moved inland from Cyrenaica (Libya), converted Berber tribes, and established settlements in the foothills, mountains and desert oases of Algeria and Morocco. Some of these Jews did not recognize the authority of the Talmud, as evidenced by the writings of religious leaders in Sijilmassa, near today's desert oasis town of Rissani..." The language of the Riffians was called Tamazight.

The Beni Sakkar were descended from the followers of the Hebrew Prince of the Line of Zerah Judah called Soco or Sokho ben Heber. The Egyptians later deified him as Sokar the God of the underworld. It would seem that some of the Milesians used also the name of Soco or Sokar in honour of their ancestor Soco ben Heber, others used the name Godoni or Godoli in honour of their ancestor Gedor. It would seem that the murdered Godol or Gedaliah belonged to this clan of Zerah Judah. When Asenath married Nilius she became known as the Lady of the Socot. The original Lady of the Socot was the wife of Soco or Sokar called Sekhmet or Sekhet (Sokhot) who was seem as a Lioness (Ariela)and also called the Scarlet Lady. Red and Green are associated with the Milesians and Sokar is the Green Man and his wife the Scarlet or Red Lady. Zerah ben Judah is associated with the Scarlet or Crimson Thread in the account in Genesis.

It is also interesting that the Milesian emblem according to Geoffrey Keating was a version of the Nehushtan (a serpent entwined on the cross-like rod of Moses). "...This celebrated standard, the "Sacred Banner of the Milesians," was a flag on which was represented a dead serpent and the rod of Moses; a device to commemorate forever among the posterity of Gadelius the miracle by which his life had been saved. The story of this event, treasured with singular pertinacity by the Milesians, is told as follows in their traditions, which so far I have been following: While Gadelius, being yet a child, was sleeping one day, he was bitten by a poisonous serpent. His father--Niul, a younger son of the king of Scythia--carried the child to the camp of the Israelites, then close by, where the distracted parent with tears and prayers implored the aid of Moses. The inspired leader was profoundly touched by the anguish of Niul. He laid the child down, and prayed over him; then he touched with his rod the wound, and the boy arose healed..." The Nehushtan was a Jewish Christian symbol of the crucified Messiah and the Tree of life and the Attributes of God. It was later found in the Calalus artefacts found in Tucson Arizona. Gaedal son of Niall lived in the 1st-2nd century AD and was a descendant of Joseph of Arimathea not the Neleus the Milesian who was in Egypt in 586 BC (or 460 BC according to a revised chronology).

Gaedal and his father Niall (Nel) were born in Babylon where Niall's father Phinchas (Phineas)was the Rosh Yeshiva of the Kinyani Jewish Christian Yeshivah. Gaedal is said to have gone to Brigantia in Spain where his grandfather Phares had rebuilt the Tower (the famous Roman lighthouse now called the tower of Hercules)that his Milesian ancestor Breogan had built in the 3rd century BC. The Spanish remember Gaedal as Gatelo and state that his wife was Scota. He later becomes the Abbot of Glastonbury. The name Bat Scotia or Scota was the title of the eldest daughter of the Rosh Galuta of Scotia. The wife of Gaedal was the daughter of the Rosh Galuta Scotia Nathaniel II and his wife Bat Scotia (Daughter/Lady of Scots). Gaedal was the great grandfather of Heber Scot. Heber Scot left Glastonbury with his father known as Sru (Ezra or Zerah) and went to Scotia. His great great grandson Agnan (Agni) left Scotia and sailed the islands of the Northern Sea. His son Lamhfionn settled in Gothia in Sweden. His grandson Agne or Agnan was the son of Heber and his wife Glunn the daughter of Dag the Wise.

Some refer to the Heber of the Milesian invasion who is a brother of Heremon as Heber Scot as well as this second Heber Scot. In fact this line were known as the Red Heber Lords or Red Hebrew Lords. Heremon comes from the name of Heman or Hemon who was also a Zerahite Vizier in Egypt and the architect of the Great Pyramid. That the genealogy in Chronicles does refer to the Zerahites we see in 1 Kings 4 that the Zerahites as also called Ezrahites. "For he was wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was known in all the surrounding nations." Mahol the son of Zerah was called Nefermaat by the Egyptians and his wife Atet or Itet was a daughter of Ephraim who was known to the Egyptians as Sneferu. Mahol(Mehu) Nefermaat was the husband of the eldest daughter of Sneferu, but Egyptologists believe he is the son rather than the son-in-law of Sneferu. He was also a Vizier of Egypt. The Petrie Museum website states: "The vizier was in almost all periods the head of the administration. The title king's son might mean that Nefermaat was really the son of a king, but there are many examples, especially from the Old Kingdom, where the title was honorific. In the Egyptian language, 'son' could also mean grandson or even great-grandson. Because of the importance of Nefermaat, which can be seen at his huge tomb, he is often regarded as real son of king Snefru. However there is no proof for that." Heman's son Merari (Mereruka) was also a Vizier of Egypt to Inyotef Teti and was the father of Mered (Meriteti) also a Vizier of Pepi I Meryre.

The Book of the Scottish Kabbalah

2010-12-04T06:30:00.000-08:00

Arthur's Seat Edinburgh also called the Lion's Head

The "Lebor Kabbalah Scotia" is found preserved by the Irish monks in the Lebor Gabala Erenn. This is a reconstruction of part of the original Scottish document that has been inserted by the monks into the history of Ireland. They confuse the history of the Scottish and Irish Jewish Christian Exilarchs descended from Mar Joseph of Arimathea with earlier Biblical events.

"...Bithiah(Bat Scota) of her are descended the Gaedil and the people of Scotia. She had a son, the noble eminent man whose name was Phineas ben Phares. This is that Phineas (Feinius) who had the great school (Yeshivah)for the learning of the multiplicity of divine sciences in the land of Babylon.

Now Phineas had two sons: Nathaniel I (Nenual/Nechtanebus), whom he left in the princedom of Scotia (Rosh Galuta Scotia)behind him; Nel (Niall), the other son, at Babyon was he born. Now Phineas was a master of all the divine sciences; wherefore one came [to summon him] from Phares [his father who was the Exilarch of Scotia], in order to teach the multiplicity of divine sciences from him. So Phineas came out of Asia (Palestine and Babylon) to Scotia, whence he had gone for the building of the Yeshivah; so that he died in the princedom of Scotia, at the end of forty years, and passed on the chieftainship to his son, Nathaniel I.

Now that is the time when Gaedel Glas (Galahad/Gilead/Godol of Glastonbury) , [from whom are the Gaedil] was born, of Scota daughter of Phares. From her are the Scots named...

Feni are named from Feinius
a meaning without secretiveness:
Gaedil from comely Gaedel Glas,
Scots from Scota.

It is Gaedel of Glas who fashioned the Gaelic language ...

Now Ezra (Sru) son of Israel (Esru) son of Gaedel, he it is who was chieftain for the Gaedil who went out of the South after Phares died : Seven hundred and seventy years from the Exile (c.586 BC) till then (c.184 AD).

Four hundred and forty years (146 BC) till the time when the sons of Miletus [from Egypt via Spain] came into Ireland, to wit, Eber and Eremon...

Forty and four hundred of years--it is no falsehood--
from when the people of God came,
be ye certain over the surface of Mare Rubrum,
till they landed in Scene from the clear sea,
they, the Sons of Mil, in the land of Ireland.

Four ships' companies strong went Ezra (Sru) out of the South. There were twenty-four wedded couples and three hirelings for every ship. Sru and his son Eber Scot, they were the chieftains of the expedition. [It is then that Nathaniel III grandson of Nathaniel I son of Phineas ben Phares, prince of Scotia, died: and] Sru also died immediately after reaching Scotia.

Eber Scot took [by force] the kingship of Scotia from the progeny of Nathaniel, till he fell at the hands of Nehunya (Noemius) son of Nathaniel III. There was a contention between Nehunya and Boamain son of Eber Scot. Boamain took the kingship till he fell at the hands of Nehunya. Nehunya took the princedom till he fell at the hands of Ogamain son of Boamain in vengeance for this father. Ogamain took the kingship till he died. Rafael I son of Nehunya took the kingship till he fell at the hands of Tat son of Ogamain. Thereafter Tat fell at the hands of Rafael II Loir (King Lear) son of Rafael I (Refill). Thereafter there was a contention for the princedom between Rafael II Loir(Refloir) [grandson of Nehunya] and Agnomain son of Tat, until Rafael II Loir fell at the hands of Agnomain.

For that reason was the seed of Gaedil driven forth upon the sea, to wit Agnomain and Lamfhind his son, so that they were seven years on the sea, skirting the world on the north side...

Gaedel of Glas, of whom are the Gaedil,
son was he of Niall, with store of wealth:
he was mighty west and east,
Niall, son of Phineas b. Phares.

Phineas had two sons--I speak truth--
Niall our father and Nathaniel I,
Niall was born at the Yeshivah in the east,
Nathaniel in Scotia, bright as a shield.

After Phineas, the hero of ocean,
there was great envy between the brethren:
Niall slew Nathaniel, who was not gentle;
the High King was expelled.

He went into Exile through valour
till he reached his grandfather Phares;
till he bestowed Scota, of no scanty beauty,
the modest, nimble granddaughter of Phares.

Scota bore a son to noble Niall,
from whom was born a perfect great race:
Gaedel Glas was the name of the man--
green were his arms and his vesture.

Fierce Israel (Esru) was son to him,
who was a Lord with heavy arms:
the son of Israel (Esru), Ezra (Sru) of the ancient hosts
to whom was meet all the fame attributed to him.

Sru son of Esru son of Gaedel,
our ancestor, rejoicing in troops,
he it is who went northward to his house,
over the surface of the red Mare Rubrum.

The crews of four ships were the tale
of his host along the red Mare Rubrum:
in his house of planks, we may say,
twenty-four wedded couples.

The Rosh Galuta of Scotia, it was a clear fact,
the youth whose name was Nathaniel III,
it is then he died yonder in his house--
when the Gaedil arrived.

Eber Scot of the heroes assumed [the kingdom]
over the progeny of Nathaniel unashamed,
till he fell, with no gentle kindness,
at the hands of Nehunya son of Nathaniel III.

The strong son of Eber thereafter, who had the name Boamain,
of perfect purity, to the shore
of the Caspian Sea was he king,
till he fell by the hand of Nehunya.

Nehunya son of Nathaniel III of the strength
settled in Scotia, chequered like a shield:
the perfect fair prince fell
by the hand of Ogamain son of Boamain.

Thereafter Ogamain was prince
after Nehunya of good strength:
till he died in his territory, unchurched:
after him Rafael I was king.

Thereafter Rafael I fell by
the hand of Tait son of Ogmain:
Tait fell, though he was not feeble,'
by the hand of Rafael II Loir son to Rafael I.

Rafael II Loir and Agnomain without blemish,
seven years were they in contention,
till Rafael II Loir fell with tumult
by the victorious hand of Agnomain.

Nathaniel IV and Rafael III with a [spear] point
two sons of Rafael II Loir son of Rafael I,
they drove Agnomain out over the raging sea,
great and green.

Good were the chieftains, it was sufficient,
who came out of Scotia;
Agnomain, Eber without blemish,
the two sons of Tait son of Ogamain.

Allot, Lamfhind of the green hand,
conspicuous the two sons of very bright Agnomain,
Caicher and Cing, fame with victory
the two good sons of Eber of the red-steed.

The number of their ships,
three ships coming over heavy waves;
three score [the crew] of every ship,
a clear saying, and women every third score.

Agnomain died, it was no reproach
in the islands of the great Caspian Sea.
The place where they were for a year
they found very secret. .."

This process of one branch of the Davidic family slaying the other may be the poetic hyperbole of the Irish storytellers- in fact it may be that these two branches of the family were just competing for the position of Exilarch of Scotia. Phares has been confused with Pharoah due to the Irish memory of the original daughters of King Zedekiah, Sukkota and Tamar Tia, going to Egypt with Jeremiah and there marrying into Princes of the Milesian mercenaries. They lived in the palace at Tahpanhes given to them by their grandfather who was the Pharoah (Their mother Queen Tzaddah (Tzadikah)was the daughter of Pharoah by a Jewish wife). The Caspian Sea here refers to the North Sea and the Mare Rubrum to the Sea between Gibraltar and Kerry- also known as the Milesian Sea. It was in the reign of the Pharoah Psammeticus (identified by Velikovsky with Seti I)that the Milesians arrived in Egypt with 30 ships and settled in Tahpanhes.

The two grandson's of Phares were Nathaniel (Nenual/Nechtanebus)and Niall (Nilius/Nel/Neleus/Niul), they were named for their ancestors the Princes who married Sukkota and Tia. Sukkota married the Milesian Prince Nilius leader of the Milesian mercenaries in Egypt. Tia married Nathaniel (Nenual) a Prince of the Davidic House of Nathan who joined the Milesian mercenaries. Prince Nilius or Niall was in turn named for the founder of the Ionian City of Miletus called Nilius or Neleus who was a son of Codrus King of Athens. Codrus was a descendant of Cecrops King of Athens who is believed to by a descendant of Dardanus who is identified with Darda of the House of Zerah Judah.

Prince Nathaniel was a son of Prince Ishmael ben Nathaniah. Prince Nathaniel joined the Milesian Militia of the Red Hand and his son was known as Nathan the Red (Nuada/Nathan Ruadha)and he married the daughter of the Milesian leader Neleus called Princess Tamar of Tahpanhes (Tephi). Their son was Allot (Alladh/Helios)the Rosh Golus settled in Lybia and married Rhoda a daughter of the Milesian Prince Danaus (son of Nilius and Sukkota). It is from his daughter Skalota that Scythia got its name. Skalota married Phineas of the Black Sea (who was later confused with his descendant Fenius Farsa). The wife of Phares, Bat Scota or Bat Scotia, was of the Royal Pictish line of Princesses. The Picts were the Agathysri of Scythia who had come to Scotland and given it the name of Scotia or Scythia. Bat Scota the wife of Phares belonged to a branch of the Royal Scythian family that had been converted by St Andrew. St Bartholomew was martyred by the pagan Pictish King of the Agathyrsi.

Rhoda and Allot's son Kamiros settled in Rhodes and was the ancestor of many of the R1b-L21 Davidic descendants found in Wales where his descendants were known as the Cymry. Many have confused the R1b-L21 Cymry with the Khumri, Gamiri and Cimmerians who may be the ancestors of R1b-U106. The Anglo-Saxons seemed to be of predominately R1b-U106 and the Jutes of predominately R1b-U152. It would seem that the Dan in Denmark comes not from the Tribe of Dan but from the name Rhodan and Redones. Kamiros' brother is Ercha [c.500 BC]the ancestor of the Davidic Milesian Kings. Ercha's daughter Echidna married the son of Phineas of the Black Sea and Skalota. It would seem that these Scythian Princes descended from Phineas and Skalota are of R1a Edomite y-dna and are the ancestors of many of the Agathyrsi, Picts, and Khazar Jews. Somerled of the Isles was one such Khazar Prince.

Another branch of these Rhodan Milesians founded Rhoda in Calalus in North America. The Redones of Gaul from the Rhone River are also descendants of these Rhadanites or Rhodans. It is possible that the descendants of these Rhodan Milesians of the House of Zerah Judah belong to y-dna R1b-U152. These sea faring descendants of the Davidic Milesians[R1b-L21](who became Jewish Christians) and the Jewish Rhodan Milesians[R1b-U152](some becoming Jewish Christians in the 8th and 9th centuries and others remaining Jewish right through the Middle Ages) trading between America, the British Isles and into the rivers of Europe and then into the East. It would seem the R1b-U106 is the y-dna of the Tribes of Joseph[or the Lost Tribes of Israel] descended in the male line from the Hebrew Patriarchs.

Tuathal Teachtmar is a son of Fiachu son of Phares (Feradach). His mother is Ethne (Edna)Imgel (Imma Gaeli/Mother of the Gaels) of Scotia. Phares is the son of Nathan the Red also called Crimthann and Nuada or Nechtan a grandson of Joseph of Arimathea. These early Irish and Scottish 'kings' are the Davidic Exilarchs of the Glas Dynasty or Glastonbury Dynasty. Gaedal Glas is the son of Niall and his wife Scota a granddaughter of Phares and the sister of Tuathal Teachtmar. The Irish bards have so confused the manuscripts and genealogies that they have placed Tuathal Teachtmar of the Caledonii in the 12th century BC as Partolon or Ptolomy (Tolmai)with his wife Dalny the daughter of Pharoah who are the first invaders of Ireland. In fact Tuathal is this Prince Ptolomy of the Caledonii who married a daughter of Phinchas ben Phares (Fenius Farsa). He is named for his ancestor Nathaniel bar Tolmai (St Bartholomew) who was an apostle to Britain. Thus Partolon and his Caledonians lived at the beginning of the 2nd century AD not the 12th century BC. St Bartholomew was martyred by a pagan Pictish King in Alba (Scotland)by the North Sea (also called Caspian in the Irish accounts). This martyrdom has been mistakenly placed in Alba or Albanopolis in Armenia.

Niall and Scota's daughter Bat Scota married Nathaniel II of Scotia. The Lebor Kabbalah Scotia tells of settlements by these Scottish Jewish Christians in Spain and Ireland. The later monks are drawing on the manuscripts of the history of this early Jewish Christian history and they have exaggerated the stories making the Exilarchs into Kings due to their Davidic status. However they only became Kings in later centuries beginning in the 3rd century. They were originally known as the Rosh Galuta (Head of the Exile) or Guletic. They were Bishops who were also Davidic Nasis (Princes)which some called the Fisherkings. Their descendants were also known as the Sons of Joseph who was represented by the symbol of the fish. They were surrounded by the followers of Druidic paganism and many of them fell away from the Christian faith of their ancestors so that by the time of St Patrick and St Ninian the Christians were almost extinct. Many of the Jewish Christian tales became paganised in the process. Often scholars see that the pagan stories have been Christianised not realising that these tales had originally been Christian. Conn of the Hundred Battles was a champion of the revived Druidic paganism and he was a grandson of the Scottish born Tuathal Teachtmar of the Exilarch family of Scotia.

It is interesting that R1b-L21 which I believe is the Davidic y-dna seems to have its largest numbers in Wales (c.70% of the Welsh are Descendants of David) and Ireland (c.60% of the Irish are descendants of David)and also very large percentages of English and Scottish people are also of Davidic descent. Scandanavia seems to have about 10% Davidic population and France (especially in the North West of France), Germany (especially in the West of Germany) and Spain (about 5%) also have significant Davidic populations. It is also of interest that the last European Monarchy that has anointed Monarchs in the tradition of the Kings of Judah is the British Monarchy that today counts the majority of the Davidic descendants among its population.
Traprain Law formerly known as Dunpendyrlaw and Galefort

In the Arthurian literature it mentions that Nascien (Nathan the Red grandson of Joseph of Arimathea) had a son Celidoine. This Celidoine may be identified with Phares or Feradach (Brother Phares) and Celidoine was his title as the Lord (Adon) of the Culdees (or khaldaios/holymen)in Scotia. Caledonia became a synonym for Scotland and the Caledonii were named for him. The first Jewish Christian Eucharistic centre (Grail Castle or chapel) was built by Phares the Celidoine and named Galefort (Gilead/Galahad/Goloddyn)and named for his grandfather Gilead (Galahad/Galuta). Goloddyn or Gilead or Galuta Dun meaning the fort of Gilead or Galuta. Later the name Goloddin for the fort became confused with the name of the Tribe Gadeni or Godoli and became Gododdin or Gododdyn. They were also called the Gaeli (the Redeemed ones).
Corbridge /Corbenic Roman ruins:Home of Lancelot, Elaine and Galahad in Northumberland

Galefort is to be identified with Traprain Law in East Lothian. Its older name was Dunpendyrlaw or the fort of the Pendragon Elidyr. Pendragon or Ben Dragon Slayer Elidyr (Elutherius/Uther)was the father-in-law of the original King Arthur. Corbenic was in Cambernic Brynaich (later called Bernicia)and was the home of Lancelot ( son of Anlach of Bennic or Brynaich/ L'Angus). Lancelot was also known as Brychan and was the founder of the Welsh Princedom of Brychneiniog. Lancelot in later life was known as St Brychan. Today Corbenic is called Corbridge in Northumberland. The southern Gododdin were also called the Manau or Manau or Manannan. The Isle of Man was also called Manannan. Manannan was a son of the Jewish Christian Rosh Galuta Rafael II Llyr (Loir/Lear). Manannan promoted the Jewish Christian practice of Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and established a Grail Castle or Chapel on the Isle of Man. The name refers to the heavenly Bread as Manna or Man and those who adore Jesus as the Man Am (People of the Manna or adorers of the Manna). Many places bore the name of Man as chapels of Eucharistic Adoration.

Traprain Law/Galefort Treasure

Archeological discoveries at Traprain Law demonstrate that in the 4th and 5th centuries this Gododdin city was Christian. The Wikipedia article on Traprain Law mentions its foundation in about 40 AD- a time when the kin of Joseph of Arimathea established Galefort. "Excavations have shown it was occupied in the Late Iron Age from about AD 40 through the last quarter of the 2nd century (about the time that the Antonine Wall was manned). Following the Roman withdrawal to the line of Hadrian's Wall it was occupied from about 220 almost uninterruptedly until about 400 when an impressive new rampart was built, then within a few decades the site was abandoned. In the 1st century the Romans recorded the Votadini as a British tribe in the area, and Traprain Law is generally thought to have been one of their major settlements. They emerged as a kingdom under the Brythonic version of their name Gododdin and Traprain Law is thought to have been their capital before moving to Din Eidyn (Edinburgh Castle)..."

This account of the Lebor Kabbalah Scotia mentions that Phares called his son Phineas (Phinchas)back from the Jewish Christian Yeshiva at Kinnyani in Babylon to become the Scottish Exilarch. This was because Phares was to succeed his twin brother Adon Zerah (Aidan/Aodn of Glas) the Exilarch or Jewish Christian Bishop/Abbot of Glastonbury (called the Isle of Glas). Adon means Lord in Hebrew and Glas may be a contraction of the word Golus (Exile). His son was the famous Simeon Breac (Simeon the Blessed) who brought the Stone of Destiny (Jacob's Stone)from Spain to Ireland. Simeon was also called Rabbi Berechiah and Simeon the Gael. These events occurred in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD not the 7th century BC. In the Irish annals the figure of Nemed (Nemhaidh/Nehemiah)is mentioned however Geoffrey Keating seems to have confused a number of people with similiar names. In his account he makes Simeon Breac a grandson of Nemhaidh when Simeon is a grandson of Nathan the Red. The famous Nemed of Nemedian fame is in reality the Scottish and Babylonian Exilarch Prince Nehemiah. It is possible that they are two different Simeon's that have become confused.

Camelon/ Camelot in Scotland near Falkirk

Some Conclusions: It would seem that only between 20-30% of Jews belong to the Hebrew y-dna of R1b [30-40% of Sephardi Jews and 10-15 % of Ashkenazi Jews] which would seem to please some anti-semites who want to brand the Jewish people as Edomites. However only about 5-10% of Jews are of the Edomite R1a y-dna [about 10-15% of Ashkenazi Jews and about 3-6 % of Sephardi Jews]. It would also seem that only 20-30% of the English are of Josephite R1b-106 y-dna from the Anglo-Saxon Invasions, while the English are 60-70% of R1b Israelite ancestry overall. The large amount of Royal Davidic R1b-L21 y-dna in the British Isles would entitled us to call it the Isles of King David or the Isles of Judah. In a sense Hitler's rant against the British as "white Jews" was more accurate than he imagined. Sifting through the traditional Gaelic accounts combined with archaeological discoveries and genetics may restore this glorious Jewish Christian past to the history of Scotland.

The Lady of Shalott and Anglo-Jewish Inheritance

2010-12-04T03:01:00.000-08:00

The world of the old Anglo-Jews, who were a mix of the British Jewish way of being Jewish and the Anglican-style Englishness of loyalty to Queen and Empire, seems to be one of those lost worlds of the past. Reared on the poetic cadences of the Jacobean English of the King James Bible and the English literature such as Shakespeare was the inheritance of these generations of Anglo-Jews. It was a softer more dignified style of Judaism and Jewishness. Elliot's Daniel Deronda seems to embody this kind of English Jewishness. The Australian Anglo-Jews looked as much to England or Britain as their Mother Land as to Jerusalem. They looked down on the yiddish-speaking peasant Jews of Eastern Europe, yet now these two have both become part of the lost lands in the mists of history. The Apple Isle of Avalon merges with the Apple field or orchard of Jewish mysticism based on the imagery of the Song of Songs and Genesis.

Some of my earliest memories are of my mother reading me the King James Bible and English literature and especially poetry. One of the poems she read to me was Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Lady of Shalott". Recently I was introduced to the sung version of "The Lady of Shalott" by the Canadian singer Loreena McKennitt. Always the legends of the Arthurian and Grail literature have resonated with something deep in my soul.

As further studies at University on Malory's "Morte D'Arthur" and "The High History of the Holy Grail" revealed that Arthur and the Knights of Camelot all claim descent from the Jew and Davidic descendant Joseph of Arimathea. Many Jewish elements are found in these tales. Also I discovered that Camelot comes from the name Camulon or Camelon (near Falkirk) which was a Scottish city of the Gododdin who were the Scottish descendants of the Jewish Christian Exilarchs who moved to the lands of the north and became known as the Gadeni to the Romans. The Lady of Shalott is based on the story of Elaine who in other stories was the unloved wife of Lancelot and the mother of Galahad. She is also called the Donna di Scalotta which was the Italian memory of her name Scota or Scotia. She is also remembered as Elaine of Astolat or Ascolat as well as Elaine of Corbenic, Elaine the White and Elaine the Fair. She is also associated with the Lady of the Lake in some legends and other she is called the Grail Maiden or Grail bearer. The elements of the mystical mirror and the weaving of the tapestry alludes to the mysteries of the Grail and Kabbalah.

David Nash Ford writes: "Tradition: In 1695, Gibson recorded that the old Roman Fort of Colania at Camelon, on the outskirts of Falkirk, was: "A little ancient city, where the common people believe there was formerly a road for ships. They call it Camelot. It may be gathered from history that this was the Palace of the Picts." About a hundred years previously, George Buchanan had recorded of the same place that "some of our writers falsely imagine (it) to have been Camulodunum". In 1522, Hector Boece had associated Colania with King Cruthneus Camelon of the Picts..."

The tale can have many interpretations. One sees the Lady as involved in the great mystical mysteries of the Grail and Eucharistic Adoration, however she gets distracted from her calling to an earthly love. She follows this love for Lancelot which does not satisfy and leads to heartbreak, unrequited love and death. But still love is always fruitful (even when misdirected) and the fruit of this love of the Lady brings forth Galahad who attains the heights of the mysteries of the Grail. Literature has divided Elaine into two different women-one who dies of unrequited love and the other who attains his physical lovemaking but not his heart. "The Lady of Shalott" follows the first one and Tennyson also writes of the second in his Idylls of the King. This begins:

"Elaine the fair, Elaine the loveable,
Elaine, the lily maid of Astolat,
High in her chamber up a tower to the east
Guarded the sacred shield of Lancelot;"

The Lady of Shalott
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Part I

On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro' the field the road runs by
To many-tower'd Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.

Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Thro' the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four gray walls, and four gray towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.

By the margin, willow veil'd,
Slide the heavy barges trail'd
By slow horses; and unhail'd
The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd
Skimming down to Camelot:
But who hath seen her wave her hand?
Or at the casement seen her stand?
Or is she known in all the land,
The Lady of Shalott?

Only reapers, reaping early
In among the bearded barley,
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
From the river winding clearly,
Down to tower'd Camelot:
And by the moon the reaper weary,
Piling sheaves in uplands airy,
Listening, whispers " 'Tis the fairy
Lady of Shalott."

Part II

There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.

And moving thro' a mirror clear
That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.
There she sees the highway near
Winding down to Camelot:
There the river eddy whirls,
And there the surly village-churls,
And the red cloaks of market girls,
Pass onward from Shalott.

Sometimes a troop of damsels glad,
An abbot on an ambling pad,
Sometimes a curly shepherd-lad,
Or long-hair'd page in crimson clad,
Goes by to tower'd Camelot;
And sometimes thro' the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two:
She hath no loyal knight and true,
The Lady of Shalott.

But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often thro' the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot:
Or when the moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed:
"I am half sick of shadows," said
The Lady of Shalott.

Part III

A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
He rode between the barley-sheaves,
The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves,
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneel'd
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott.

The gemmy bridle glitter'd free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy.
The bridle bells rang merrily
As he rode down to Camelot:
And from his blazon'd baldric slung
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armour rung,
Beside remote Shalott.

All in the blue unclouded weather
Thick-jewell'd shone the saddle-leather,
The helmet and the helmet-feather
Burn'd like one burning flame together,
As he rode down to Camelot.
As often thro' the purple night,
Below the starry clusters bright,
Some bearded meteor, trailing light,
Moves over still Shalott.

His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flow'd
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flash'd into the crystal mirror,
"Tirra lirra," by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.

She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces thro' the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.

Part IV

In the stormy east-wind straining,
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining,
Heavily the low sky raining
Over tower'd Camelot;
Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And round about the prow she wrote
The Lady of Shalott.

And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance--
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.

Lying, robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right--
The leaves upon her falling light--
Thro' the noises of the night
She floated down to Camelot:
And as the boat-head wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her singing her last song,
The Lady of Shalott.

Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darken'd wholly,
Turn'd to tower'd Camelot.
For ere she reach'd upon the tide
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott.

Under tower and balcony,
By garden-wall and gallery,
A gleaming shape she floated by,
Dead-pale between the houses high,
Silent into Camelot.
Out upon the wharfs they came,
Knight and burgher, lord and dame,
And round the prow they read her name,
The Lady of Shalott.

Who is this? and what is here?
And in the lighted palace near
Died the sound of royal cheer;
And they cross'd themselves for fear,
All the knights at Camelot:
But Lancelot mused a little space;
He said, "She has a lovely face;
God in his mercy lend her grace,
The Lady of Shalott."

Niall of the Nine Hostages and R1b-M222

2010-11-15T09:29:00.000-08:00

High King Niall Mor Noigiallach

R1b-M222 is found in a large percentage of the population of northern Ireland (between 20-10%) and Lowland Scotland (between 5-10%). Originally it was claimed that all those of R1b-M222 were descendants of Niall of the Nine Hostages High King of Ireland in the 5th century but further research demonstrated that it was also the y-dna of those descended from the brothers of Niall. Thus we can say that it is most likely the y-dna signature of those descended from Niall's father King Eochaidh Mugmedon. Many are puzzled why there should be a large group of R1b-M222 in Lowland Scotland but I propose that this is due to the bulk of these being descended from the ancient Scottish Royal House of Athol (Dunkeld) who were in turn descended from the Irish Kings of Mide (Meath) who were descendants of Niall of the Nine Hostages. I explain this in my blog on Eochocan and the Royal House of Athol.

R1b-M222 has been found in small amounts in England, France and Germany. This is no doubt due to the flight of many Irish into Europe over the centuries due to persecution by their enemies and the troubles and famine conditions that beset the Irish. I believe that the source of this y-dna is to be found in Ireland and not elsewhere as proposed by some. It is the 'father' y-dna of R1b-L21 that has its origin source outside Ireland in Ancient Israel (Western Asia). While the early O'Neill dynasties were male line descendants of Niall (until at least about 1000 AD) later O'Niells were not. The later O'Niell Kings only descend from the earlier O'Niell Kings on a female line. It is interesting that the ancient Irish Chronicles claim that Niall ruled over both Ireland (Erin) and Scotland (Alba).

Son of the noble Eochaidh of honour
Was Niall, modest in each high distinction;
He held the sovereignty of successions
In Erin and in Alba.
He got a hostage from each province
In Erin through high valour;
He brought under his sway, without blemish,
Four hostages from Alba.
Hence he was called
In the mansions of the great,
Through the gold of the prosperous kings,
Niall of the nine hostages, the heroic.

It is interesting to me that both Yair Davidy the Orthodox Jewish founder of Britam and myself belong to R1b-M222 and that we both share an interest in the idea of the Lost Tribes of Israel being found in Western Europe. Many years before either of us knew what our dna was we were in contact and I met him in Jerusalem in 2002 and spoke at one of the Britam meetings on Davidic Genealogy. My father died in 1994 and he always believed that he was a descendant of King David and the High Kings of Ireland on his direct male line. Many just thought he was just telling one of his good stories but how thrilled he would be to learn that his R1b-M222 y-dna has proved he is indeed a descendant of the Davidic Irish High Kings of the clan of R1b-M222. I learnt in 2008 that my y-dna was R1b-M222.

Familytreedna website states: "The cluster now known as the R-M222 group was first recognized in late 2004 following manual cluster analysis of several hundred R-M269 haplotypes in Ysearch. A preliminary modal haplotype was established at that time based on roughly six dozen similar haplotypes. It was noted that family names associated with the cluster were almost entirely Irish or Scottish. The cluster was initially referred to as the 25/11/14 cluster based on the dominant values for DYS390, 391 and 392.

In late 2005 a research team from Trinity College Dublin published a report that identified this cluster based on the distinctive values at DYS390 and 392. The research team called this pattern the Irish Modal Haplotype, or IMH, and provocatively suggested that the haplotype was to be associated with the Ui Neill kings of Northern Ireland who descended from the fifth century warlord, Niall of the Nine Hostages"

McEvoy and Bradley date the ancestor of R1b-M222 to about 300 AD and located in North West Ireland. They write: "The unique corpus of Irish genealogical records allow the tracing of his putative decendants to the 11th and 12th centuries where they in turn became the founding fathers of many modern Irish surnames." Dr. Anatole Klyosov has estimated the age of the founder of R1b-M222 to have existed between 400-700 AD. Some others earlier claimed that the founder lived about 1200BC but this is obviously incorrect. The founder is obviously King Eochaidh Mugmedon or possibly his father King Meredach but I do not believe the origin can be pushed back any further than this. The three Collas come from the same male lineage as Niall and they branch off only a couple of generation before Niall. The descendants of the Three collas belong to R1b-L21 and do not have M222+.

Kissane and Cashman

2010-11-09T06:34:00.000-08:00

A stone near the Ballykissane Cillin with Jewish kabbalistic symbols.

Recently I learnt of an Irish legend told about the Kissane and Cashman families. An Irish legend states that the family who originally were called Kassin (which became Ciosain in Gaelic)had a fight over "taking the soup" and the Cashman moved from Galway to Cork and the Kissane to Kerry to the village of Ballykissane. The term taking the soup referred to those who changed their religion during the potato famine in order not to starve. However the split with the Cashman and Kissane happened much earlier in the 16th or 17th century. The legend is thus a confused memory of one group who embraced Catholicism and the other remaining loyal to Judaism with a later story of those who changed from Catholic to Protestant in the 19th century. It would seem that the Kissane's who moved to Ballykissane remained loyal to the Jewish faith at least in the privacy of their homes and among their relatives. Many of these Kissane later after 1760 embraced the Frankist version of Catholicism and gradually assimilated into the Irish Catholic population. It would seem that the Cashman families of Cork descend from Shamus Ciosain (Yacov Kassin/Cassin) whose son was Joseph Cashman (c.1600).

Ballykissane was the village that the TV show Ballykissangel was based on and is a village near Killorglin on the famous Ring of Kerry. Stephen Joseph Kissane writes on the Kissane facebook page: "Ballykissane has a burial ground that is called a disused Cillín and has a very sad history. It was used initially for non Christian Kissane Crypto Jews and for infants of Christian parents who died before baptism. The un-baptised infants and crypto Jews were buried away from the consecrated graveyard alongside murderers, lunatics and others deemed beyond salvation. Kissanes had ceased to live in the immediate area by 1911 but the infant burials continued until 1959.Only small broken stones now mark the graves and the graveyard very overgrown. A standing stone with a plaque of remembrance for the infant children buried here was erected recently. Kissane kabbalistic symbols exist on a stone. Along both sides of a fissure are five cup and rings and around 12 deep and rounded cup marks. Other rings may have weathered away." The number five and the symbol of the ring is a Kissane emblem as I explained in my earlier article on the Kissane/Kassin family. The cups represent their role as Swan Knights who protected the Grail which was associated with the "Cup of Blessing" mentioned in the opening of the Zohar.
Ballykissane Famine era cottage

An Irish historian David Ring also writes about the Kissane origins: "The Irish name Kissane used in County Kerry is an Anglicization of O' Ciosain. Essentially now a Munster name, it was transformed to Cashman in County Cork and Kissane in County Kerry. Father Woulfe, and early expert on names, suggests that the O'Ciosain sept originated in Ui Maine in County Galway and moved South from there. In Dublin's Royal Irish Academy, there are accounts of O' Ciosains who were scribes and writers of Irish tales and tracts on Irish grammar.
In the 1930s, John Kissane, writing as Sean O' Ciosain, translated the Vicar of Wakefield and other classics into Irish. Around this same period, the Reverend Edward Joseph Kissane was writing bible commentaries. (The Dictionary of Irish Surnames, Ida Grehan.) Other well known Kissane's include: Eamonn Kissane, a member of the Dail Eireann, first elected in 1932 as a Fianna Fail Representative, Erin Kissane, an internationally known business writer and editor, and Bill Kissane, a university professor and writer who has published many works on politics, civil wars, and particularly The Irish Civil War. Additionally, John Kissane owns a sheep farm on the Ring of Kerry that is dedicated to preserving the Irish heritage of mountain sheep. In the United States, the Kissane's have been successful in many areas, particularly business and higher education. The majority of the Kissane's that came to the United States settled in New York and Illinois. Civil War records show that five Kissane's served in that conflict, four on the Union side and one Confederate. The honor and great heritage of this family is proudly represented by our own Division 7 President Dan Kissane. Dan is truly the personification of the Kissane motto: "Nothing is difficult to the brave and the faithful.""

Jim Cashman originally from Cork writes:"...Also when I worked with an American firm I found it beneficial as the Irish Americans seemed to know the name was Irish and my Jewish customers often thought I was Jewish, which suited me fine! All in all the name 'Cashman" is a good one! When I was a child in Ireland, the everyday language was English and indeed my parents spoke very little Gaelic. But when I went to boarding school around the age of twelve, Gaelic was more often spoken in class than was English. So it came as a surprise to me to find that there were two people with different names in English which became the same as mine when in Gaelic. The name was Ciosain or O'Ciosain. I always knew this was the Gaelic for my name but when a fellow called Kissane also called himself O'Ciosain I decided I had better take a deeper look into the origins of our name "Cios" I was told by our teacher means 'tax' in Gaelic so it was likely that originally, back in one of Britain's plantations the Ciosain Clan were tax-collectors brought in from Scotland, since the Scots and the Irish are the same Celtic race, it would be mutually acceptable. It was common for England when they conquered Irish land to 'plant' it with its own people. This was particularly prevalent around 1650 when Cromwell went to Ireland to conquer the country and to change it's religion. Up until then Ireland and England had the same religion. I was further told that during the Great Famine in 1845 some of the family of O Ciosain "took the soup" and the family split. One half changed their name to Cashman and the other half to Kissane which would have been a more natural derivation than Cashman. 'Drinking or taking the soup' referred to those starving people who went to soup-kitchens which made taking soup conditional on changing one's religion. Nobody seemed to know which side drank the soup...it depended on which side of the family one came from..."
Jebel Kissane

It would seem that the Jewish Kissane/Kassin family of merchants were also to be found in Morocco where a mountain called Jebel Kissane was named after them by the Jewish inhabitants of the town of Agdz. This area of Morocco was once a centre of Jewish civilisation for many centuries. This area today is very dry and arid but it is believed to have been wetter and more fertile in the past and the Draa river extended at that time to the Atlantic. Remains of ships have been found in this area of the desert. Many of the crypto-Jews of Claddagh and the Galway Bay area were fishermen and sailors and it would seem that a group of Jews led by a Kissane went to live in the Jewish settlements of the region that surrounded what was called Jebel Kissane (the mountain of Kissane) as part of the Sephardi community called the Megorashim. In the far north of Morocco is also found the settlement of Beni Kissane (sons of Kissane). We also know that Rabbi Abraham Kassin (1810-1897 of Aleppo)[son of Rabbi Bekhor Kassin (1745-1877)]visited Morocco in the 19th century.

There is also an interesting discussion on Ballykissane in the comments to the article about the 1916 terrorist attacks and the monument in Ballykissane on the Unrepentant Communist Blog

Note: The Australian pronunciation of Kissane and Kassin sounds different but the Irish pronunciation of Kissane and Ciosain sound almost identical to Kassin. Also Kissane pronounced Kissani in Africa is the plural form. Thus Beni Kissani/Kissane means sons of the Kissan/Kassin.

Merovingian Period Y-DNA: Is it R1b-L21?

2010-08-20T22:19:00.000-07:00

The recent y-dna testing of the artefacts of a burial in Ergolding in Bavaria is very interesting. The research can be read in the Croatian Medical Journal found on http://www.cmj.hr/2009/50/3/19480023.htm. The tested bones come from R1b1b2 and G2a. It is believed that some of the remains belong to nobility who were related to the Merovingian Dynasty as the remains are claimed to be from the 7th century AD.
The Wolf Emblem of the Lords of Wolfegg

Some are claiming that the R1b of these Frankish Lords is from R1b-U106 as there are a number of reasonably close matches with those today of this subclade. However others who are R1b-L21 are also just as closely matched. I personally think it is most likely that they are R1b-L21 and closely related to the Carolingian Family whose ancestors fled Persia when the "Seed of David" was under threat of extermination. The other bones who are G2a may have come West with this dynasty as part of their military guard. These G2a warriors are descendants of Kayl Vahan (Vahan the Wolf I)of Armenia and his men. It would seem they settled originally in the area of Wolfegg Castle with the Hesbaye family (the Grail Family) descended from Galahad's son Omer(Aumer) ha Ari of Sarras (Persia).

Two of the six samples 244A and 244B were brothers of R1b1b2 y-dna and 244C a more distant Davidic cousin. 244D while belonging to R1b(most likely R1b-SYR2627) was not closely related on the y-line. 244E and 244F were both G2a but not closely related on the y-dna line.

Was Shakespeare Jewish?

2010-08-18T19:44:00.000-07:00

Recently in preparing myself to teach a class on Shakespeare's sonnets I started to reread them after many years. I was astounded to find that they seemed to be mystical poems about the spiritual life. I noticed at first the links with Catholic mysticism and especially St John of the Cross but I also started to notice seeming links to Jewish mystical concepts and understandings. I started to do some research into the interpretations of the sonnets and was rather surprised and disappointed to see that the modern obsession with sexuality seems to be followed by many interpreters today. Their conclusion seemed to be that Shakespeare was either homosexual or bisexual. While the interpretation that the youth was a platonic friend made more sense to me, I was not satisfied with this interpretation either.

While I felt there was some allusions to sexuality in the sonnets, these references, along with the other vices, were part of the pilgrims spiritual journey. The young man or youth that many commentators referred to, seemed to me, to be not Shakespeare's lover but his younger self. The Dark Lady was not a negro prostitute as proposed by some or a Marrano woman as proposed by others but she was the mystical Dark Lady referred to by St John of the Cross and the Zohar linked with the concept of the Black Madonna. She is the mystical Miriam alluded to in the text of Genesis 1. The intense language of love of the sonnets mirrors the mystical poetry of the soul's longing for the Divine found in the Song of Songs and the poetry of St John of the Cross.

There is clear evidence that Shakespeare came from a secret Catholic family but I was also surprised that there is also evidence that Shakespeare came from a Catholic family of Jewish ancestry and that there is evidence that Shakespeare had knowledge of Jewish learning. It would seem that Shakespeare's grandfather Richard was originally from the Shapiro, Spiro or Spira family. One writer claims that his name was Jaco (Jacob) Spiro. It may be that Richard was a son of Rabbi Nathan Nata Spiro (or Shapiro) of Grodno in Europe.

The greatest mystical work of Judaism is the Zohar which opens with the mystery of the Rosa Mystica (Mystical Rose/ Shoshana Sodot)and the second line of Shakespeare's first sonnet also refers to the beauty of the Rose. The first line of his second sonnet refers to the age of 40. This is the age at which one is usually permitted to study the mysteries of the Kabbalah according to Judaism. These sonnets also allude to the mystic beholding himself, which is common in Catholic and Jewish mysticism. The second line of the second sonnet also refers to Beauty's Field and this may allude to the Apple Field or the Field of the Sefirot. Jewish mysticism links this mystical Field with the Shekhinah (the female Presence). Beauty may allude to the Shekhinah or more likely to Tiferet (the Blessed Holy One of Israel). The third sonnet alludes to the Mother and the Mystical Mirror spoken about in the Book of Wisdom and in the Zohar. Like the Song of Songs these sonnets have been written to be understood on different levels. From the literal or story level they ascend to the mystical level of understanding. To see these sonnets as referring to some kind of obsessive and tawdry love affairs by Shakespeare misses the point and the power that these poems have retained through the ages. They appeal to something deep in the soul of man that longs for the true love which is divine love.

Does Tutankhamun's DNA Prove He Was Western European?

2010-07-13T08:40:00.000-07:00

It is astounding the length that those who blindly defend the status quo in Egyptology go to defend the 'accepted' ideas of the Egyptian Antiquities establishment. The recent revelation that King Tutankhamun and his ancestors have R1b1b2 y-dna has upset them greatly. They even set up a straw man that because Tutankhamun is R1b then his ancestors come from Western Europe. One such website is called Paleobabble which itself descends into babble in trying to explain the dna of Tutankhamun. They even try to claim that even if Tutankhamun does have R1b then it might be a mutation and his ancestors are not R1b. As the evidence demonstrates that Tutankhamin's father and grandfather are of the same r1b1b2 y-dna as he is himself this is patently ludicrous. The article by Kate Phizacherley linked to this article then endeavours to confuse the issue by talking about Chadic African R1b-V88 as the source of the R1b of Tutankhamun. However it is clear that Tutankhamun is not R1b-V88 but R1b1b2.

Ancient Egyptian captives from Palestine wore tartan-style garments

Of course the ancestors of Tutankhamun don't come from Western Europe and are certainly not Scottish but they do share the R1b1b2 y-dna that is very common in Western Europe especially in Spain, Portugal, France, Britain and Ireland. Many of these people seem to be out of date on their knowledge of the origin of R1b. In the recent past many thought it originated in the Iberian Peninsular but further studies have proven that it originated in the Middle East or Western Asia. In fact I believe that the most common y-dna of the ancient Israelites was R1b and even today based on y-dna results so far it would seem about 20-30 percent of Jews have R1b y-dna (30-40% of Sephardim and 10-15% of Ashkenazim). Both the ancient Israelites (R1b) and the ancient Edomites (R1a) wore tartan style garments.

Mrs Hannah Lewis: A Crypto-Jewish Matriarch

The River Laune on the Ring of Kerry

Chief Rabbi Raphael Kassin's great grandson Michael Kissane was born in 1847 in Gortnascarry Kerry (near Beaufort) which is an area between Killorglin and Killarney. Gortnascarry is by the Laune River and not far from the Black Valley a region of Kissane (Kassin/Ciosain) settlement. His parents were Patrick Kissane and Mary Walsh who were married in 1846 in Beaufort Kerry. It would seem that Gortnascarry was the home of the Walsh family of his mother Mary Walsh and the home of his father Patrick Kisssane (Kassin|Cassin)family was at Cappa (or Cappagh) an hours walk south of Gortnascarry (about 5.2 km). The Kissane were rent or tax collectors under the famous Lord of Kerry in the 18th century.

Michael married Anne Ennis who worked for the Montefiore family when she arrived in Melbourne in 1869 from Ireland. Michael's mother was a relative of his wife Anne through the Galvin (Galvan)family of Barbados, Killarney and Athlone. His eldest daughter Johanna (known as Hannah)spent some time living in Melbourne with her greataunt Mrs Mary Montefiore (nee Kissane) and she returned to the Jewish faith at the St Kilda Synagogue and was employed as a nanny/housekeeper by the Rabbi Elias Blaubaum. Two of Hannah's grandsons were named after two of the children of Rabbi Blaubaum Athol and Eric Blaubaum. In the 1890's Hannah may have given birth to an illegitimate child secretly delivered by her mother who was a midwife and reared by her uncle John Ennis as his son in Echuca.

Rabbi Elias Blaubaum
Hannah eloped and marrried Leonard Horatio Lewis in Wangaratta in 1896 against the wishes of both their widowed mothers. Leonard's mother Matilda was formerly of Cheshire England and a devout Jew (like her brother Simeon Levi West) in the privacy of her home, though for social reasons in England she was outwardly a member of the Church of England. Leonard and Johanna also later had a secret Jewish wedding performed by Simeon Levi West in his home according to the family custom. [Simeon Levi West's nephew Lindsay John Payne West recalled seeing 'Uncle Levi' with whom he stayed with as a boy donning his kippa (yamulke)and praying from a Jewish Prayer Book]

Hannah's mother Anne was a devout Irish Catholic of Frankist background. Anne ceased to follow most of the Frankist customs after the death of her husband Michael and hid all knowledge of the Jewish background from her younger children. It is believed that Anne was convinced by her confessor that the death of her husband and two of her children by yellow fever was due to her family clinging to Judaism in secret. Hannah had under the influence of her great aunt Mrs Montefiore with whom she lived in Melbourne returned to orthodox Judaism, however after her negative experiences with the Jewish community she left Judaism and followed her own path with a love of the Scriptures and a devotion to the angels. She married Leonard in the Wesleyan Methodist parsonage in Wangaratta. She received the last rites of the Catholic Church on her death bed under the influence of her younger sister Josephine (Josie) who brought a priest to her in her final hours. Johanna (who was always known by her Hebrew name of Hannah) was a talented midwife and teacher like her mother. Hannah influenced Athol Blaubaum in an interest in medicine and he later became a doctor as did two of his younger brothers who she had also looked after as small children and another one a dentist. Eric Blaubaum was killed in the first World War in 1916. Hannah last saw the Blaubaum children in 1908 in Melbourne before she moved to Western Australia with her mother, husband and children. At this time her mother Anne Kissane was living in West Melbourne before moving to Western Australia where she opened a maternity nursing home in Wagin.

Hannah was trained as a midwife and as a teacher by her mother Anne (known as Annie). Hannah had taught in her mother's school in Boileau Echuca. In census records she is listed as a teacher. Later in life she lived among the huge trees on the Warren River near Northcliffe in the south-west of Western Australia. She died in Perth in 1957 where she had lived with her daughter Marguerite. Leonard and Hannah were also believers in the teaching of the British Israelite movement to which they had been introduced by their Montefiore relatives. Hannah's relative Jacob Montefiore had been a leader in this movement in the 19th century along with Colonel Gawler the Governor of South Australia.

Chief Rabbi Raphael Kassin

2010-05-24T02:43:00.000-07:00

Michael Kassin was born in Aleppo Syria around 1800. He was the son of Chief Rabbi Raphael Kassin of Baghdad. Michael like all his brothers were trained as Rabbis but he became a merchant and settled in Killarney Kerry. He also lived with his uncle and aunt Chaim and Elisheva Kassin (aka Christopher and Isabella Kassin) on the Isle of Man. After his marriage he moved to Killorglin Kerry. He also spent some time in Dublin were his Kassin or Cassin relatives (descendants of Francisco Cassin brother of Rabbi Yehuda Kassin) also lived. His uncle Joseph who was also a merchant lived in Dublin. Joseph's first wife was a Frankist called Franca or Francisca Maher (Mayer)a granddaughter of Jacob Leib Frank. Joseph's second wife was a Frankist called Maria Coleman. Joseph's son Yehuda or John Cassin (b.1819) also lived in Dublin.

Michael and his wife Mary had their eldest son John Cassin (Kissane /Ciosain)in Dublin in 1819. Their second son Laurence was also born in Dublin in 1821. Michael's older brother David Kassin is also said to have gone to Ireland and lived in Dublin with his wife Eleanor (or Leonor ha Dunna)for a time. The surname Doona or Duna comes from the Sephardi Jewish name of Dunas which is of North Africa origin. The McDonaugh, Doona or Duna family of Kerry and Dublin descend from the relatives of Eleonor. His brother-in-law Patrick Kissane of Killorglin married Mary Doona (or Duna) the sister of Eleonor). Michael and Mary's other sons Michael (who married Johanna Coffy), Patrick (who married Mary Walsh), Timothy (who married Honora Shea) and daughters Johanna Kissane (who married Denis Sullivan) and Mary Kissane (who married Augustus Moses Montefiore) were born in Kerry. All these families belonged to the crypto-Jewish network of families in Ireland.

Rabbi Raphael met Joseph Barrow Montefiore in Europe who at this time was also becoming involved with the Jewish reform movement. Raphael's great-grandson Michael (a Frankist Catholic) was employed by Joseph Barrow Montefiore. He then returned with his greatgrandfather Raphael to Aleppo and stayed with him until 1868 when he returned to the British Isles and then went to Australia via Singapore and New Zealand in 1869 where his aunt Mary lived in Melbourne with her husband Augustus Montefiore.

Tom Segev writes in Ha'aretz "One of the major scandals took place in the city of Aleppo, the biblical Aram Soba, in northern Syria. In August 1862, the British consul-general in the city reported to his queen that one of the most important rabbis was trying, incredibly, to found a Reform congregation. This was the hakham (great Torah scholar) Raphael Kassin.

It began with the members of the community disparaging the mitzvot (commandments, precepts), Harel writes. They held public and family events with the participation of a mixed audience, with orchestras playing lustful songs and women from the community dancing in front of the men. The women dressed less modestly than in the past, and there were cases of young men decorating their hair and growing it long in order to court girls. Some people violated the Sabbath.

This behavior characterized mainly the middle and upper classes. They diminished the centrality of God, placed mankind in the center and stopped listening to the rabbis. Among these circles hakham Raphael discerned potential supporters for the long struggle he waged for the community's leadership. He had just returned from Europe, where he had encountered and been enthralled by Reform Jewry.

Hakham Raphael was a fascinating personality. He coveted the perks of power that came with his status as hakham bashi - chief rabbi - of Baghdad: "When he emerged from his house, he was preceded by the members of his mounted guard, like a prince of the land," according to one of the documents Harel quotes. Eventually, the hakham was removed from office, started to write scandalous polemical tracts, traveled about and returned to his native city, Aleppo. After concluding that he had no chance to remove the leaders of the community, he established a congregation of his own, in the spirit of Reform Jewry. In the process, he sought to devalue the Talmud and the teachings of the ancient sages, to the point of rejecting their authority.

His supporters gave him a contract that promised him everything he loved: absolute blind obedience, a hefty salary, servants and lodgings befitting his status. But the schism in the community led to quarrels and unrest, which degenerated into brawls in the city's marketplaces. At this point the Ottoman governor intervened and ordered Kassin to desist from his activity. He remained isolated and was reputed to be mad; his story was hushed up in the history of the community. "This is a rather biased account of the beliefs and activities of those who supported Rabbi Raphael. They were Jews who were educated and wished to live as modern people as did the upper class Anglo-Jews of England while remaining loyal to their Jewish identity.

Kassin Rabbinic Dynasty by Sarina Roffe: "Since Rabbi Eliahu was affluent, his son, Rabbi Rafael, was able to devote his lifetime to studying Jewish law. Rabbi Rafael was very social and mingled with many people from all walks of life, including royalty. On a visit to Aleppo, the Pasha of Iraq met with Rabbi Rafael Kassin and was so impressed that the Pasha invited him to Baghdad to become chief rabbi there to which he agreed.

The chief rabbi of Baghdad was a position appointed by the king and Rabbi Rafael held the title for many years. He was frequently called upon to defend the tenets of Judaism in debates with Muslims. Eventually he resigned from the chief rabbinate and returned to Aleppo. His writings include Maarekhet HaShulhan, Lehem HaMarekhet, Yayyin HaRekaa (a collection of sermons), Derekh Hahayyim (a defense against Gentile attacks on the Bible and Talmud) and Tekafo Kohen.(F14) Rabbi Rafael Kassin had six sons: David, Michael, Itzhak, Abraham, Joseph and Gabra."

Sarina Roffe also wrote in "The Jews of Aleppo": "From the mid-nineteenth century on, the Ottoman government appointed a chief rabbi (Hakham bashi), who represented the Jewish community before government agencies and could be a powerful individual in the community in his own right. Rabbis often came from families with a long tradition of supplying the community with hakhamim. The hakham was distinguished by his clothing, for example, the size and color of his turban and the long, wide sleeves of his outer garments. While it was customary for everyone to wear an ankle-length robe with a sash around the waist, the Hakham bashi was a government official and wore a finer robe with ceremonial orders and medals, gold and silver embroidery. The Hakham bashi had two government-appointed bodyguards who carried his Staff of Office and cleared the way for him.

Aleppan rabbis were learned in Kabbalah and Talmudic legal tradition. They dealt with cases of Jewish law, ranging from spiritual to civil cases including marriage, inheritance, business contracts, torts, building regulations and Jewish rituals. Aleppan Jews consistently had a reputation for respecting rabbinic authority.
While the Aleppan communitys leaders paint a historic picture of strict observance and Torah learning, it should be noted that there was an unsuccessful attempt to introduce Reform Judaism into Aleppo in 1862 by Rabbi Rafael Kassin, the great great grandfather of R. Jacob Kassin. The grandson of Rabbi Yehuda Kassin, Rabbi Rafael Kassin (1780-1871) was chief rabbi of Baghdad for many years. When he returned to Aleppo, he declared himself a religious reformer.Rabbi Rafael Kassin had a tremendous following and his supporters wanted to separate from the community.

According to researcher Yaron Harel, "Quarrels which broke out in the bazaar between the two groups forced the local authorities to intervene to prevent disturbances of public order." The movement was temporarily quashed but in 1865, another rabbinic reformer Rabbi Eliahu Ben Amozeg - wrote Em Lamikra, which presented modern scientific commentary on the Bible. The rabbis of Aleppo issued an edict to destroy all copies of the book throughout the Middle East and to excommunicate the author, but only the rabbis of Damascus accepted the edict."

Raphael Kassin was a very interesting character and has left many descendants among the Syrian orthodox Jewish community until this day. The descendants of his son Michael assimilated into the wider English-speaking Christian community

Note: It would seem that the first of the Kassin family to settle on the Isle of Man was Filipe Cassin a son of Juan Rodriquez Cassin in the mid 17th century. His son Juan or John Cassin (b.1670) of the Isle of Man was the ancestor of John Cassin b.1767 of Douglas Isle of Man. William Kissane (married to Aphra) of Douglas Isle of Man may belong to this branch of the Kassin family. The name Kassin is also found as Cassin, Casson, Kissane among other variants orginating from the Hebrew Katzin.

King Arthur of Britain

2010-05-08T03:49:00.000-07:00

There are many theories about the identity of the King Arthur of legend. One of the problems is that most of the datings of the Welsh kings is speculation and it is obvious in some of the traditional accounts certain kings are placed in the wrong time period. I believe the legends of King Arthur are a mix of two main figures called Arthur. One is Arthur of Dal Riata and the other is Arthur who was King of the Pennines. A book by Graham Phillips and Martin Keatman called "King Arthur:The True Story" is interesting reading even though their identification of Arthur with Owen Ddantgwn is incorrect in my opinion. However the strength in this book is their linking of the importance of the Votadinni or Gododdin (Goloddin) dynasty of Kings to the family of King Arthur. Elsewhere I have demonstrated the Jewish Davidic origins of the Rulers of this area of Scotland. They are the Scottish Davidic Exilarchs that are closely connected with the Exilarchs of Babylon.

Arthur of Dal Riata is a great grandson of the original King Arthur. His mother Ygraine of the Pictish line of Princess Royals was the daughter of Arthur's son Amr. Amr is also called Amwlad and Amorai and is also the ancestor of the latter Babylonian Exilarchs. Amorai is the nephew of Kafnai (Custeynn)the Babylonian Exilarch. Arthur of the Pennines is called the son of King Mor or Mar of the Pennines. He is to be identified with the Gododdin Prince Chuna Mar who is also called Cunomor. This Chuna Mar would seem to be the High King of Britain and Brittany. Nennius calls the title of these High kings Guletic which means "overlord" and comes from the Jewish title of Rosh Galuta (Head of the Exile). In Brittany Chuna Mar is called Cynan Meriadoc. In Welsh cynan is pronounced Cunan. The Cambridge History of English and American Literature states: " Ambrosius, tranformed by Geoffrey into Aurelius Ambrosius (cf. Tennyson, Coming of Arthur, “For first Aurelius lived, and fought and died”), is known in Welsh literature as Emrys Wledig. He appears in Nennius as Embreis Guletic. Guletic, or Gwledig, means “over-lord,” or “king,” and Arthur himself would seem to bear this title in a Welsh poem in The Book of Taliesin (No. XV). See Skene, Four Ancient Books of Wales, vo1. I.P. 227."

King Gabhran (Gadeon/ Gideon) was thus a brother of King Arthur who was firstly King in Brittany before inheriting the throne of Dal Riata. After the death of his brother Arthur in about 539 he may have become the High King of Britain. According to the 'Annales Cambriae' the famous battle of Badon was in 518 when Arthur would have been about 20 years old. Mike Ashley in his "The Mammoth Book of British Kings and Queens" not realising the descent of Gabhran from the Goloddin (Gododdin)dynasty of Exilarchs writes: "Gabhran was initially successful, and he seems to have established a rapport with a northern British enclave of the Gododdin in the Mearns around modern Brechin. The name of the territory of Gowrie is apparently a corruption of Gabhran or Gafran. Gabhran married Luan, the daughter of Brychan of Gododdin and granddaughter of Dumnagual Hen..."

King Arthur was the son-in-law of the Pendragon (Head Dragon or Son of the Dragon) who was Elutherius or Elidyr (Uther). He married Elutherius's daughter Ceindrech. In fact I believe the title comes from the fact that Elidyr's father Georgi (Gurgust/ Gwrgi) King of the Gododdin was the original St George the Dragon Slayer. He is called George of Lud or Lydda. He has been confused with the story of St George of Cappadocia. It is not Lud in Palestine where he originated but Lud in Britain. Lud was the ancient British name for London. St George's father is known to be a Roman soldier called Gerontius this Gerontius is the brother of Eudaf Hen. Genealogies speak of Gurgust's father as Ceneu or Coilus however Princess Ceneu is his neice and King Cole may indeed be his father-in-law.

I have written elsewhere about how a great grandson of Joseph of Arimathea called Phares (Brother Phares/ Feradach) established a Eucharistic Centre of Adoration in Scotland in a place called Camelon. This Phares established the Jewish Christian dynasty of Scottish Exilarchs in the latter part of the first century. From this dynasty of Rosh Galuta Scoti developed the Kingdom of Goloddin (Goddodin). Part of the history of this dynasty was incorparated into the 'Lebhar Gabhala Erinn'. It is placed out of time and place by the Irish chroniclers. They confuse Scythia with Scotia or Scotland. In fact there is a possibility that Scotland was considered a part of Scythia and the Scottish claimed that their ancestors had originated in Scythia.

Phillips and Keating in "King Arthur: the True Story" write in regards to Goloddin or the Votadini: "...Gododdin had been part of the Roman Empire for well over a century before the legions pulled back behind Hadrian's Wall in 200 AD. There were therefore good relations between the Votadini and the Empire. The Romans offered support against hostile northern tribes, and in return the Votadini helped police this buffer zone between occupied Britain and the unconquered Picts of the Scottish Highlands...Soon after the Romans left Britain, the Votadinni began to experience great difficulties. The Angles were raiding their coastline in the East, the Picts were marauding from the North, and the Irish were pushing ever close from the West... That the Votadini colonised North-West Wales in the 460's has been verified by archeology..."

The famous Celtic poem called ' Y Gododdin' written at the end of the sixth century mentions Arthur. This poem comes from the Kingdom of Gododdin and relates a tale about some Gododdin warriors who set out to fight some Anglo-Saxons in the far North. Phillips and Keating write: "...In one passage the poet praises the courage of the hero, saying that although he fought bravely 'he was no Arthur'. The fact that Arthur should be so esteemed in a Votadini war poem suggests that he had been a member of their tribe...".

The founder of this dynasty Phares was a son of the Irish Exilarch Nathan the Red (Nectan Ruadi) who was the grandson of Joseph of Arimathea. They settled in the territory of the Ottadini tribe and became known as the Gadeni to the Romans. Edinburgh or Dun Eden was one of their major settlements. It is interesting that near to Edinburgh is found Arthur's Seat. British History Online website states; "...but in A. D. 43, the Roman armies again landed, in order to complete the subjugation of the island. The Britons made a brave and obstinate, though ineffectual resistance; and in the year 80, Agricola marched from Manchester along the west coast, penetrated into the recesses of Caledonia, and defeated Galgacus at the foot of the Grampian mountains. On his return in 84, he traversed the territories of the Ottadini, and of their neighbours the Gadeni, and, it is supposed, took winter quarters on the banks of the Tyne. It is also generally admitted, that this active and politic general, in order to secure his conquests, built a chain of forts from near the mouth of the Tyne to Solway Firth..."
We see that the Jewish Christian Exilarchs and their people were already established in Scotland in the year 84. It is from this source that many future rulers of Britian and the whole of Europe would come as well as the Babylonian Exilarchs. This is one of the major sources for y-dna R1b-L21. It may well of happened that after a few generations some of the population and Royal family remained as Jewish Christians while others became non-Christian Jews or pagans. They were then reevangelised by St Ninian.

Fergus Mor mac Earca and Pictish Princesses Royal

2010-05-06T02:31:00.000-07:00

The identity and ancestry of King Fergus Mor is one that has puzzled genealogists and historians for centuries. He is called Fergus mac Earca and Fergus mac Erc. Traditional Irish genealogies state that his mother was Earca, others that his mother was Nissi. He is also said to have married a Princess Earca. Some state that his father was Muredach High King of Ireland who was a grandson of King Niall of the Nine Hostages through his son Eoghan others that his father was Erc a son of King Loarne or that his father Erc was the son of King Eochaidh Muinremuir of Dal Riata and many other scenarios. Even more confusing is the dating of King Niall Mor of the Nine Hostages- historians now believing he is dated too early by the traditional Irish accounts. I believe that a study of the Pictish Princesses Royal clears this up.

The first historically verified King of Picts was King Drust who was the son of Erb or Erb or Erc. At this time the king of Gwent was King Erb the son of King Erbin a son-in-law of King Eudaf Hen (Mar Judah Hen). So either the son or the father could be the one in the Pict King List. This Gewisse (Jewish) dynasty came from the Davidic Royal House. The name Erb and Erbin being versions of Heber and Eber. The name of Earca being a Gaelic version of Esther. King Drust of Picts's sister was the Pictish Princess Royal. The King of the Picts must descend from a mother of the Royal line. The second historical King of the Picts is King Talorc the son of Aniel. This name Aniel refers to Niall or one of his O'Niell descendants. Thus King Drust's sister Nissiya Esther (Nissi Earca/ Princess Esther)is the mother of King Talorc. The title Nissiya is the feminine of Nasi (Prince of the Davidic House) thus meaning Davidic Princess. There is added confusion due to fathers-in -law being listed as fathers and female parents sometimes being thought to be male by future generations.

King Talorc's sister Nissiya Cenue married King Erbin of Strathcylde who is called Erp in the Pictish king lists. King Erbin's son was King Nectan (or Nathan)of Picts. King Erbin of Strathclyde was the son of Neithon (or Nathan Todros) the Judiarch of the Gewisse (Gwent) - he is also called Theodosius the Younger (Tewdfalch) as his ancestor was known as Theodosius the Elder (Mar Chuna). He is listed by some as the son of Ceretic King of Strathclyde and the Gewisse but Ceretic is his uncle-in-law. Ceretic was the son of Cunedda (Chuna the Good) who was the British Roman Emperor Constantine III.

King Neithon of the Gewisse was the son of King Ninnian (Nunius/Nehunia)of Gwent who was a brother of King Erb of Gwent mentioned above. King Ninian and King Erb are the sons of Erbin (Eber Scot) the Jewish Scottish Exilarch from Golodinn. Erbin's brother was Chuna and they were the sons of St. Ninian of Scotland. Ninians father was Mar Chasdai who was also known as Golomh or Galamh and he left Babylon for Spain where he was a soldier. He afterwards came to Britain and married Scota the daughter of Raphael V the Scottish Exilarch (Rosh Galuta Scotti) of Goloddin. Mar Chasdai was the son of the Babylonian Exilarch Nathan II. The legends of Scota has been combined from the lives of a number of Princesses bearing the name Scota or Bat Scotia. The original Scota was Princess Sukkota who with her sister Tamar Tia were the daughters of King Zedekiah of Judah and his Egyptian-Jewish wife Queen Tzadikah (Tzaddah) the daughter of Pharoah. The tales of this Sukkota and the Milesians became mixed with those of her descendant Bat Scotia who was the daughter of Phares who was the first Scottish Exilarch. And then these were confused with the tales of Scota who married Galamh of Spain (who was also called Milad or Milesius because he was a soldier). The name of Niall and Nel are also found in some of these stories of Scota.

Thus the son of King Niall who married the Nissiya Earca of the Scotti was Conall o'Neil also surnamed Cemthainne and Gulban. His son Fergus Cerall went to Scotland and ruled Dal Riata and was remembered as the great Fergus mor Mac Earca. His wife Earca had also married his cousin Muredach the O'Neill High King. Fergus was the grandfather of St Columba.

The name Earca as Esther entered the Royal family when Nissiya Esther (the daughter of the Babylonian Exilarch Nathan I Ukba) married the Scottish Exilarch Raphael IV (b.220). She was the sister of Nathan Mar Ukba II and Rabbanu Nehemiah. Rabbanu Nehemiah should not be confused with the Exilarch Nehemiah who was Rabbanu's nephew the son of his sister Esther. Exilarch Nehemiah (Neman)was firstly the Scottish Exilarch who went to Babylon to become the Babylonian Exilarch. He left his uncle Nathaniel IV as the Exilarch of Scots in Goloddin (Gododdin) and he also left his oldest son who became Rafael V Loir Rosh Galuta Scoti in Scotland. Rafael V was married to Princess Seng of Argyle and his daughter Esther or Earca married Eudaf Hen. This Earca 's daughter Nissiya Ceneu was the mother of Earca who was the mother of King Fergus Mor. The Mor often found in these genealogies alludes to the Jewish title Mar for those of the Exilarch family. Here we see the origin of the Jewish matrilineal practices found amongst the Royalty of the Picts.

Fergus is said to be the father of Domangart and he in turn is described as the father of Gabhran of Scots. However some historians doubt his existence or his reign. However Domangart did exist but he was not the King of Dal Riata and he is not the son but the son-in-law of Fergus. He is Dumnagual King of Stathclyde and his wife is Fedlim the Fair the daughter of Fergus and his wife Earca. Dumnagual's brother is Cinuit who married Corun the daughter of Ceretic. Dumnagual and Cinuit are the sons of King Erb of Gwent's brother Nathan the Judiarch of the Gewisse and King of Picts. Dumnagual and Fedlim's daughter is Igenach the mother of Queen Luan wife of King Gabhran of Dal Riata. Thus Fergus is the grandfather of Gabhran's Queen. Gabhran's father is Chunan Meriadoc (Mar Chuna) King of Brittany. Chanan Meriadoc is the son of Theodoric (Todros b. Nathan/ Tewdrig)the Judiarch of the Gewisse. Theodoric is the grandson of Nathan (Theodosius/Tewdfalch)Judiarch of the Gewisse and King of Picts.

Ireland, Velikovsky and Tutankhamun

2010-05-03T02:03:00.000-07:00

Queen Scota the Jewish Egyptian Princess

The "Killarney Ireland" website in an article entitled "The Irish-More Spanish than Celtic" discusses a recent Dna study of the Irish by Dr.Dan Bradley and Brian McEvoy. It reads: "The research however suggests that our blood if not also some (at least) of our culture can or should be attributed to wider origins: Spain, Portugal, Scandinavia and North Africa...“The primary genetic legacy of Ireland seems to have come from people from Spain and Portugal after the last ice age.” said McEvoy. “They seem to have come up along the coast through Western Europe and arrived in Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It’s not due to something that happened 2,500 years ago with Celts.” We have a much older genetic legacy."

We know from the ancient Irish stories that the Milesians did indeed come from Spain and before that from North Africa and Scythia. The problem is the evolutionary dating of the Dna. Velikovsky in "Earth in Upheaval" demonstrates that the last Ice Age ended about 1500 BC not 15,000 BC. Thus the datings used by geneticists using the evolutionary dating system is out by a factor of 10. The incorrect dating of ancient history due to the faulty datings of the Egyptologists means today that Minoan and Greek history is made 500-600 years too early contrary also to the Greek written sources. We know that R1b-M222 occurred in Ireland around the 5th century AD in the Royal Family but its earlier lineage of R1b-L21 arrived from Britain in the 1st-2nd centuries.

However there may have been earlier branches of R1b-L21 from the Milesian Royal House that had Jewish and Egyptian origins. A recent Blog article about the dna of Tutankhamun and his family by Rokus states: "The 18th Dynasty Haplotype corresponds most likely to European R1b-ht15. These values already triggered discussion. The Whit Athey algorithm clearly predicts haplogroup R1b at a probability of 100%. The rare value 10 at DYS439 is definitely an outlier, but in internet fora (DNA-Forums and Rootsweb) experts on the field, not all of them just enthusiastic and highly motivated hobbyists, speculated the haplotype most of all mirrors the Western European R1b-ht15 subclades, commonly defined by a fairly 'recent' SNP, labeled P310. The ancestral counterpart of R1b in Africa (that is considered ancestral and in Africa typically identifies with SNP R1b-V88, contender for being a possible Hamitic marker) or the Levant, was readily dismissed for being an unlikely candidate. This means, the Y-DNA profile of Tut's dynasty presents characteristics that were never typical to Africa, the Levant nor Egypt. Instead, the current low occurrences of Egyptian ht15 are commonly attributed to the classical period and up to modern times, when European influences coerced on Egypt through Rome and other historic entities from that same direction. At least one similar haplogroup was found among Jews, whose corresponding SNPs are labeled U152 and L4 (downstream R1b-ht15), albeit a considerable genetic distance to modal values strongly suggests an origin that is older than the Roman Empire. How a European haplotype, having possible Jewish connotations, could have entered the Egyptian royal house to begin with? This doesn't look like an issue an Egyptian team would be eager to investigate: Starting with the political and religious animosities between Israel and Egypt, being nowadays part of the Arab world..."

The mutation change rate of dna is causing some problems for those who advocate the evolutionary position. Studies of Y-dna have shown that there are two kinds of y-dna mutations. Firstly there is a stable paternal system that is said to be much slower in mutating than mt-dna. This first sequence is believed by evolutionary geneticists to take tens of thousands of years to mutate for a single mutation between groups. Secondly there is a sequence that is much faster in mutating. This second sequence is like a stammer, and the y-dna gains or loses one of these sequences much quicker. This loss and gain results in separating the Haplogroup into hundreds of male lines. These mutations are said by evolutionary geneticists to occur every 1,500 years, give or take a few years. Studying the y-dna of certain families of the Niall clan of M222 in the US and Britain have demonstrated single-step mutations in less than two hundred years. Thus the mutation rate is not 1,500 years but around 100-200 years for each mutation step. The mt-dna mutation rate is said to be 20,000 years by the evolutionary geneticists- this also is ridiculously too long.

Once these changes are taken into account the traditional histories start to make sense. Instead of having the bulk of the Irish come from Spain over 15,000-9,000 years ago, the date of the Milesian arrival between 200-500 BC now fits better with the y-dna mutation rates of every 100-200 years. These changes now make sense and allow genetics to assist in real history rather than the fantasies of evolutionists. Recently we have seen a lowering of these dates by geneticists. Previously one read that y-dna R1b was 40,000-30,000 years old which has now has be revised to less than 18,500 years. Overnight 20,000 years disappeared!

Eochocan and the Scottish Royal House of Athol

2010-05-01T08:26:00.000-07:00

Scotland was ruled by the male line descendants of the Royal House known as the House of Dunkeld or Athol. The first Scottish King of this House was Duncan I who was the son of Crinan Mormaer of Athol and Abbot of Dunkeld. It is known that this family are male line descendants of the Irish Royal House of Mide (Meath)who are descendants of High King Niall of the Nine Hostages. However many historians and genealogists are uncertain of the exact connection. Here I seek to demonstrate that connection.

Crinan was the son of Duncan II Mormaer of Athol and grandson of Duncan I Mormaer of Athol. Duncan I is the son of Duncan the Thane of Dull. The title of Mormaer is equivalent to Earl and the first Mormaer in Scotland was a mysterious figure that some believe was the father of Duncan the Thane of Dull. This was Dubacan Mac Indrechtaig the Mormaer of Angus. This is the origin of the Scottish version of the name Duncan which also is Donnchadh, Dunchadh, Donachadho etc. This Dubacan is the son of the Irish Prince Indrechtaig mac Donachadha of Mide. Indrechtaig was the son of King Donachadh of Mide (b.830-d.877). King Donachadh is in reality also known as King Donald I of Scots.

King Donachadh II was the son of Prince Eochocan of Mide and his wife Princess Tadg II of Picts. This Eochocan is interesting as I believe he was also the same person as Eoganan the King of Scottish Dal Riata (Dalraida). His parents were King Conchobar of Mide (died 833) and Princess Land of Ailech. Thus his maternal grandfather was the High King Aed Oirdnide whose wife was Princess Euginis of Mide sister to King Conchobar. In Scotland Eochocan was known as Eoganan The Angus and was King of the Picts and Scots as a young man with King Aed mac Eochada of Ulaid. After the Viking defeat in 839 he managed to escape back to Ireland but his co-king Aed was killed. It would seem that Aed's brother Muredach and his son Maturdan were allied to Kenneth and the Vikings. Eochocan's son King Donnchadh of Mide also became the King of Scotland as Donald I (many genealogies make him the brother or half-brother of Kenneth MacAlpin). These identifications of this group of Scottish rulers with the Irish kings clears up some of the confusion discussed by many historians.

Donald I's son was King Giric who was also known as Guaire, Gauran, Goran, Gregor, Gregory and Godfrey. He is the ancestor of the McQuarrie, MacGauran, MacGovern etc families of Scotland and Ireland. King Giric's son was Godfredus who was the father of Dungal or Doungallas who married Spondana of Ireland. Doungallas and Spontana's son Fingon is the ancestor of the MacKinnon clan. Their other son Gregor or Guaire is the ancestor of the M222 descendants called Grier, MacGregor and Grierson through Gregor's son Constantine. His other son Donald of Kintyre was the father of Malvina who married Constantine her cousin. From Donald descended Donald McGorrie d.1216 whose son Cormac Mor McGorrie d.1249 lived in the days of King Alexander II of Scots. From Cormac's son Alan descended the Scottish McQarries etc and from his son Gregor or Gauran descended the Irish MacGauran or MacGovern. It is possible that Donald mcGorrie is the same person as Donn MacGuire Lord of Fermanagh who is the ancestor of the Fermanagh MacGuires. Donald McGorrie was the son of Ranald or Randal who was the son of Ruaidhr or Uidhir the Lord of Kintyre. Ruaidhr was the grandson of Ranald or Ragnall a son of Somerled. His parents were Alan MacDonal of Kintyre and Ragnhild the daughter of Ragnall.

King Aed has also been separated into a number of different people- he is Aed Oirnide of Ailech, Aed Ingor, Aed Muinderg and Aed Find of Dal Riata in Scotland. Aed was the son of King Eochaid III of Dal Riata in Scotland. His father was allied with the Irish High King Flaithbertach who sent his fleet to aid him. After the death of his father Eochaidh III, he as a small boy was sent in 733 to be fostered in Ireland. King Flaithbertach's teenage daughter Princess Dunlaith became his foster mother and her husband Nial Frossach of Ailech his foster father. He was first promoted by the High King Domnall Midi who married him to his grandaughter Princess Euginis of Mide. At this time he was known as Aed Muinderg (the red-necked) and was made King of the North by Domnall until about 748-50 when he returned to Scotland.

When King Angus of Scots was defeated by King Teudebur of Strathclyde (aka Machir Theodoric of Narbonne) in 750 King Aed seized back his father's kingdom and King Angus retreated to his Pictish Kingdom. Aed handed over his Kingdom in 778 to his brother Fergus to rule and he now returned to Ireland where his father-in-law Donnchadh Midi had become High King in 778. King Aed and his son Domnall now the King of North were forced to submit to the authority of Donnchadh. This animosity with his father-in-law earned him the title Aed Ingor (the undutiful). Domnall then tried to take Ailech from Mael Duin but was defeated and later on the death of Mael Duin King Aed became the king of Ailech. This caused problems with his son Domnall and Aed battled and defeated his son's forces in the battle of Cloitech in 787. Domnall then returned to Scotland to rule the Dal Riata kingdom until his death in about 804-805.

King Aed seized the High Kingship of Ireland at the death of his father-in-law Donnchadh in 797. He reduced Ulaid (Ulster) to submission in 809 after a fight with his son Eochaidh. King Aed's son Eochaidh had married Fergusa (the daughter of King Fiachnae of Ulaid and his wife Princess Ferat II of Picts) and in 790 became King of Ulaid. His father's ravaging of Ulster allowed Eochaidh's brother-in-law Cairell to seize the throne. After his brother Domnall King of Scottish Dal Riata's death in 805 he was also overlord of Dal Riata as Eochaidh IV. His brother Conall was his regent under-King of Dal Riata. Eochaidh died in 810 and his brother Conall now King in his own right died in 811. They were succeeded by their cousin Constantine mac Fergus the King of Picts. King Aed continued as High King of Ireland until his death in 819. King Eochaidh of Ulaid and Dal Riata had a son named Aed who was the father of Ainbith, Eochocan and Muredach Kings of Ulster. This second King Aed also claimed the Dal Riata throne in Scotland but was murdered by his nephew in 839.

There is some confusion among historians and genealogists about the father of King Alpin who was the father of Ciniod or Kenneth the first King of Scotland or Alba. The two main candidates are Eochaidh IV and Eoganan. It is also confusing which Alpin was the father of Kenneth. Alpin III was the son of Eochaidh IV and his Pictish Queen Fergusa. Eochocan (aka Eoganan) and his wife Princess Tadg of Picts were the parents of Princess Ferat III of Picts. Ferat III married King Ciniod II of Picts whose daughter Princess Ferat IV of Picts married Alpin III. Princess Tadg II was the daughter of King Alpin I of Picts and Dal Riata and his wife Princess Ferat I of Picts. Princess Ferat I was the daughter of High King Donnchadh Midi of Ireland and his wife Princess Fuirseach of Irish Dal Riata. Princess Fuirseach in turn was the daughter of King Indrechtaig of Irish Dal Riata who married Princess Entfidaig of Picts. King Alpin I was the son of King Eochaidh II of Dal Riata and his Pictish Queen Spondana. Queen Spondana was the sister of Queen Fuirseach. Two of Alpin I's sons were King Ciniod I of Picts and King Alpin II of Picts. The famous King Kenneth MacAlpin may be the son of King Alpin II and thus King Donald I would be his maternal first cousin.

Another son of King Aed Find Oirdnide was Mael Duin who became the King of Ailech. Mael Duin was the father of Princess Inderb of Ailech who married King Eochonan of Ulaid. These Irish Royal families were closely intermarried many times over. King Conchobar of Mide and High Queen Euginis were the children of King Donnchadh of Mide (b.733 d.797) and his wife Fuirseach Princess of Irish Dalriada. Queen Fuirseach was the daughter of King Indrechtaig of the Dalriada House of Congal.

The Kings of Mide on the direct male line descend from Niall of the Nine Hostages. It is from Niall and his brothers that all those of R1b-M222 y-dna descend. The older Royal House of Alpin while traditionally considered to descend from King Fergus Mac Earca on the male line which would make them also M222. However I have demonstrated elsewhere that they descend from King Gabhran of Scots who is not the son of Domangart but the son of Chuna Mar (also called Cunomor and Cynan Meriadoc) and thus are R1b-L21 the same as the Royal House of Brittany who descend from Gabhran's brother King Solomon of Brittany. It is Queen Luan the wife of King Gabhran who is the granddaughter of King Domangart (also identified with Dumnagual). The Stuart Kings also descend from the Royal House of Brittany and dna tests have demonstrated that they are also L21. Many Scotsmen descend from Niall and the Kings of Mide through their descent from the Scottish Royal House of Athol.

Tutankhamun and R1b1b2 DNA

2010-04-26T10:10:00.000-07:00

It would seem that recent testing of the DNA of the mummy of Tutankhamun and the mummies of other 18th Dynasty royals have demonstrated that Tutankhamun and his grandfather Amenhotep III belong to R1b1b2 a haplogroup found commonly in Western Europe. This has caused a great upset in certain circles. However those who accept the revision of Egyptian history suggested by the Jewish genius Immanuel Velikovsky should not be surprised. It would seem that Zahi Hawass is also hiding more results that don't fit with accepted Eygptologists theories. Reading through all the discussions it would seem that there is a break in the Y-dna of the 18th Dynasty. One article on Wikipedia states that the dna evidence shows Thutmose III is not the son of Thutmose II. However reading the study the article references this doesn't seem to be what it says. However I do believe there may be a break in the y-dna line and that Amenhotep II is not the natural son of Thutmose III but his relative and adopted son.

Velikovsky and Isaac Newton stated that Thutmose III was the Pharoah Shishak mentioned in the Bible who sacked Jerusalem in the 5th year of the reign of King Rehoboam the son of King Solomon. Velikovsky also in his book "Ages in Chaos" associated the Queen of Sheba with Queen Hatshepsut who was the aunt, step mother and regent for Thutmose III. Egyptologists state that Thutmose II who was the husband of Hatshepsut was also the father of Thutmose III by another wife Iset. We know that Queen Hatshepsut had a sister Nefrubity who disappears from Egyptian history and is assumed to have died young by many Egyptologists. However some who follow Velikovsky believe that she was the Royal Egyptian wife of King Solomon. I propose that Amenhotep II (Prince Siamun) is in fact the young cousin of Thutmose III who was brought back to Egypt with his mother at the time of his raid on Egypt and with the death of his own son Amenemhat made him his heir. Thutmose III married his aunt who now took the name Hatshepsut-Merytre in honour of her older sister. Thus Amenhotep II became the step son of Thutmose III. Amenhotep II's brother (or nephew) may have been Yuya also a son (or grandson) of Solomon (who was also called Yedidiya)and his Egyptian wife. Amenhotep II was married to his cousin Tia (Tamar)the beautiful daughter of Prince Absalom of Israel.

Thus Amenhotep II and his descendants are of the same y-dna as the Davidic Royal House. Elsewhere I have discussed the Davidic y-dna as R1b1b2-L21. It is therefore interesting that the y-dna of Tutankhamun, his father (some believe his father was Akhenaten others his brother Smenkare) and grandfather Amenhotep III are R1b1b2. Amenhotep II also had a son called Userstatet the King's Son of Kush who may have been the Zerah the Cushite (Ethiopian) of the Bible. It is also possible that he was the ancestor of the Ethiopian Solomonic Dynasty. Userstatet's father is also called Siamun which is the Egyptian version of Solomon. Bathsheba the mother of Solomon was the daughter of Prince Siamun of Egypt (called Ammiel in Hebrew)and she called her son after her father. Egyptologists list Siamun as the brother of Amenhotep I. Also at this time there was a Lector-Priest called Siamun whose mother was called the chantress Amenhotep. Bathsheba's father Siamun converted to the Israelite faith and took the name Ammiel or Eliam. The pagan son of Amon (si-amun) becomes part of the People of God (ammiel). Bathsheba as a daughter of convert parents from the Egyptian Royal family firstly marries the converted Hittite General Uriah. Solomon as a son of a mother of Royal Egyptian origin is considered a suitable husband for Pharoah's Daughter. It is also possible that Lady Tuya (the wife of Lord Yuya)was a daughter of Lord Menna and his wife Princess Henuttawi. Lord Menna was the grandson of Prince Nathan of Israel (a full brother of King Solomon). Menna's tomb can be found in Egypt.

Gershom ben Judah

2010-01-25T01:30:00.001-08:00

In the 11th century there was a group of rabbinic scholars who belonged to the school of Rabbeinu Gershom ha Golah. Later writers assumed that Gershom and his brother Machir lived in the 10th and 11th centuries but he in fact established his Yeshivah in Mainz in the 8 th century. The events of his life where confused with people and events in the 10th -11th centuries.

Gershom was the son of Exilarch Judah Zakkai who was also known as Eudes of Aquitaine. His father in-law also called Judah became the Gaon or Aluf of Pumbedita after 730 in Babylonia. This Judah was confused with the traveller of the 10th century Rabbi Judah ben Meir. He succeeded Natronai ben Nehemiah as the Gaon or Aluf of Pumbedita.

The legends of Gershom speak of his going from Pumbedita to Constantinople with his wife Devorah. This was around 732 where Gershom used his skills as a physician during the plague that occured at that time. This was in the reign of Emperor Leo III Isaurian the Iconoclast. Gershom became an adviser to the Emperor and arranged the marriage of his neice Tzitzach of Khazaria to Leo's son Constantine. Gershom's sister Serakh a Davidic princess was the wife of Sabriel Bihar the Khagan of Khazaria the son of the first Jewish King of Khazaria called Bulan. The legends also speak of a John who is Gershom's enemy in Constantinople who seems to allude to St John of Damascus a great opponent of the Emperor's iconoclasm heresy.

Gershom returned to the West in the 750's and is remembered in the Chansons as Girart de Vienne. He married a second time in 757 to Imma (also called Bonna in some accounts)and was known as Gerard of Allemagne and Mayenne (Mainz) or Gerold Count in the Vinzgau in the Frankish aristocracy. Imma or Emma may have been the daughter of his older brother Hernaut [Henoch ha Nebi/ Hunold] of Aquitaine. It was after this that he settled in Mainz Germany and established his Yeshivah and he became known as the Great Gaon of the West. He died in 799 in Battle against the Avars. Some of his descendants became Jewish rabbis and scholars, others outwardly embraced Catholicism and remained part of the Frankish aristocracy. His son known as ha-Arik (The Long in Hebrew) or Eric Duke of Fruili died in 799 also in Battle with the Avars.

Records show that Gerald and Imma in 784 donated money to the Monastery or Abbey of Lorsch which was founded by their relative Cancor of Hesbaye. Cancor was the brother of Ingram (Sigrand/Seguin)of Hesbaye. It is possible that Lorsch was originally a Jewish or a Jewish Christian yeshivah in medieval Germany devoted to the Nazarene. Ingram or Sigrand of Hesbaye was the second husband of Princess Landradee of Franks (sister of Aude). Her first husband was Hunold of Aquitaine. Thus Imma was a half sister to the children of Ingram (Ingerman/ Sigrand). Ingram named his daughter Erica and Eric of Fruili was her half nephew. Ingram also had a grandson called Eric. Eric and his brother Alrik were remembered as legendary Kings of Sweden sons of Randver (also called Berenger and Angi). Alrik was also called Adalric in Gascony where he carved out a realm and was the father of Seguin Ruler of Gascony. The name of Robertine or Radbards became associated with this family due to the red beards of these Davidic princes. Machir Todros of Narbonne was also known as Radbard due to his red hair and beard. The Hesbaye were direct descendants of Sir Lancelot and they were guardians of one of the vessels known as the Grail.

Rabbi Judah ben Meir ha-Kohen (ha-Khagan) of the 10th century was the grandson of Prince Judah ha-Khagan of Khazaria. Prince Judah was the son of the Khazar King or Khagan Benjamin of Khazaria whose ancestor Khagan Chanukah (or Chanoch)was the son of Khagan Obadiah (called Eggigold in the European genealogies)whose wife Willigerd was a daughter of Gershom ben Judah Or ha Golah (light of the Exile)and Imma. This family were also known as the Sire de Leontin due to their connection with the Byzantine Emperors Leo III Isaurian and Leo IV the Khazar.

Guy II de Dampierre had a Jewish mistress Yochebed (also known as Sybille)and their daughter Rebecca played a part in Scottish History and legend. Yochebed was the daughter of Rabbi Samuel de Dampierre whose grandfather was Rabbi Isaac de Dampierre. Rabbi Isaac established a leading Yeshivah in Dampierre. Rabbi Isaac de Dampierre's grandfather Rabbi Simcha de Vitri is known as Viter de Moeslain in the noble genealogies. He is also the male line ancestor of Guy II de Dampierre (who is also remembered as Guy O'Cahan in the Scottish genealogies)whose grandfather Guy I was the son of Thibaud de Dampierre son of Viter. Viter de Moeslain was the grandson of Rabbi Judah ben Meir ha-kohen (also known as Eudes de Dampierre). Rabbi Judah was the grandson of a khazar Prince Judah. The title ha-khagan was transferred to ha-Kohen in Europe. Sir Walter Scott's Rebecca daughter of the Jew Isaac of York (in 'Ivanhoe') alludes to the real Rebecca who was descended from Rabbi Isaac de Dampierre. Sir Walter Scott's mother knew all the old stories and histories and the genealogies of Scotland which Sir Walter adapted in his writings.

Guy I de Dampierre married Alvina the granddaughter of Rashi who descended from the Helpuin (ha-Aluphin) family of the Jewish Lords (ha-Adon)of Ramerupt. The ha-Alufin are descendants of the Alufin (later called Gaons)of the Rabbinic families descended from the Alufin Gershom ben Judah and Machir ben Judah of Narbonne. Rashi's mother was a sister of Pope Sylvester III (Elhanan Crescens/John) who was the son of Rabbi Simeon the Great of Mainz of the Kalonymus Family. Pope Sylvester II is also believed by some scholars to be of Jewish ancestry descended from the Aluf Machir of Narbonne.

James Bartram of Emerald Hills

View of the Church of St John the Baptist Aylmerton

James Bartram came to the Swan River colony of Western Australia as a young boy of 16 with his Carter relative. James at first lived and worked at Merrow Farm with Thomas Carter. He also is said to have gone with Thomas Carter to the Beverley area. He became a leading citizen in Beverley Western Australia. He was a grazier and a mill owner among many other things including Post master and Justice of the Peace. It was known that he was born in Norfolk England in 1826-7 but for many years the actual birthplace was unknown. There is a photo of James Bartram with female relatives in East Dereham when he returned there in 1858 for a visit.

Aylmerton village in Norfolk

Recent research has revealed that James Bartram was born in 1826-7 in Aylmerton Norfolk near Felbrigg Hall as were his siblings. Some of the census records record Erpingham as this was the parish district which the village of Aylmerton and its 500 year old Church, St John the Baptist, was included under. His father William John Bartram (1801-1842) was a farmer in Aylmerton. They were relatives of the leading family of this area of Norfolk the Wyndham or Windham family who owned Felbrigg Hall. William John Bartram was born in 1801 in North Repps Norfolk.

William's father Sir Robert Bartram (1761-1844) was born in Norwich Norfolk and later settled in South Repps, North Repps and Metton areas connected to his Wyndham relatives and his Bartram ancestors. Sir Robert married his relative Anna Modin (Maiden/ Maidman) who was known as Lady Bartram. He may have met his wife in Italy where he travelled as a merchant trader to visit his relative Richard Bartram of Civitavecchia. Anna was the daughter of Jacob Modin (aka James Maiden) and Sarah de Medina. Sir Robert's grandmother Lady Wright was known as Sarah Maidman or Maiden. They were born as Italian Jewesses connected to the Barzelay (Barzillai), Medina and Modin families of Venice, Amsterdam and the West Indies. James F Cook in his book "The Governors of Georgia 1754-2004" states that Sir James Wright (1716-1785) and Sarah Maidman (d.1763) had nine children. They were Sir James (the second baronet), Sarah, Alexander, Charles, Ann, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Mary and Isabella.

James Bartram in East Dereham Norfolk in 1858 with his female relatives

Sir Robert and Lady Bartram with their two oldest children visited America around 1800 in search of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Captain Anderson writes about their visit to Wisconsin:"Proceeding three miles we came to the beginning of a six mile rapid the greater part of which Lady Bartram and I had to take dry land to overcome in order to relieve the canoe of surplus weight as the men had to wade and carefully avoid the rocks in dragging the canoe up this toilsome obstruction. The slow process of working up the rapids gave time for splendid fishing sport. Black bass were very abundant and I caught enough for supper and breakfast for all on board. Having at length overcome all the rapids, the water being low, the men were all tired and I said 'camp.' Lady Bartram prepared the supper. Now, reader, you may take a peep at our party, all squatted flat on the mats, Mr. Anderson (the writer) presiding, with Lady Bartram on the right, Sir Bartram on the left ready to bring the tea kettle, and then Master and Miss Bartram in front, scrambling for the fish eyes in the dish, at which their progenitors exult to witness their activity."-(Narrative of Captain Thomas G. Anderson 1800; Wisconsin Historical Cols., Vol. IX.)

St Andrew's Metton Norfolk

James' mother Ann (Strange) died in 1835 and his father in 1842. Their uncle Sir James Bartram of Metton reared James brother Henry and his sister Ann after the death of their parents. Sir James Bartram is said to have 280 acres of farming land in Metton and employing ten labourers in the 1841 Census. James decided to go with his relative Thomas Carter to Western Australia when Thomas was on a visit to England in 1842-3. Henry was the heir of his uncle Sir James Bartram and they also released and farmed Metton Hall farm from John Ketton who bought the Felbrigg estate from Frederick William Windham (Mad Windham)in 1863. The Bartram family had been associated with Metton and the Windham family since the 16th century when Reverend John Bartram was the Rector of Metton. John Bartram (Juan Bertran) was from a Marrano family from the Balearic island of Minorca. Henry Bartram of Metton seems to have had a mistress or secret wife that his Uncle didn't approve of because of her lowly background. She was known as Mrs Elizabeth Bartram of East Dereham.
Stone Cross at Aylmerton

The 1841 census lists James Bartram as 15 years and living with his father William and grandfather Robert as well as with some of his siblings William (b.1835), John (b.1830)and Elizabeth (b.1828)in the parish of Erpingham. Henry Bartram (1832-1891) and Ann Bartram (1829-1888) and their brother Robert (b.1833 d.1900)may have been living with other relatives at this time and out of England with their grandmother. Robert later had an apprenticeship in London and settled in West Ham Essex, possbily he was also with his uncle James until he went to London. In the 1851 Census John Bartram is visiting his uncle Sir James Bartram and his brother Henry and sister Ann and he is listed as a shopman grocer. John married Mary Ann Bartram Howes (daughter of William Howes and his wife Elizabeth Bartram) on 27 December 1859 in Norwich and in the 1861 Census he is listed as a farmer with 100 acres and employer of 6 farm labourers in Lessingham Norfolk. His daughter Anne Bartram was born in 1862. In 1871 John's brother Henry and his sister Elizabeth were living with him in Lessingham, at this time a number of relatives were also visiting John including his sister Mrs Ann Fuller (wife of Benjamin Barcham Fuller), his sister-in-law Mrs Anne Bartram of Essex with her children Alice M Bartram and Walter Bartram (aged 3), and his wife's neice Anna Skelton (daughter of William Allen Skelton and Rachel Howes). His wife also had a brother called James Bartram Howes (b.1836).
Sir James Wright Bart.

Their grandfather Robert was the grandson of Sir James Alexander Wright (Baronet) the last Royal Governor of Georgia. The name of Emerald Hills is believed to have come from the Wright property in either Georgia or South Carolina where Sir James Wright lived with his father Robert Wright. Sir Robert Bartram's mother was Sarah Wright and his father was William Bartram (b.1744).

Felbrigg Hall near Aylmerton

William Bartram of Fremantle was believed by many to have possibly been James Bartram's father William. This was not so. However another William Bartram of Norwich was closely related to the Bartram family of Aylmerton both through the Bartram family and the Howes family. In fact James' aunt Elizabeth Bartram (b.1805) was married to her relative William Howes and William Bartram of Norwich was the son of William Charles Bartram and Mary Howes (b.1771). Mary Howes was the daughter of Robert Howes (b.1737) and Elizabeth Bartram (b.1747) the sister of William Bartram (b.1744).
Lady Bartram of Norfolk and Italy
There is also another William Bartram (b.1796 Brumstead Norfolk) living in Aylmerton married to Mary Starling in 1824 in South Repps. They had three children born in Aylmerton John b.1828, Elizabeth b.1825 and Anne b.1827. This William Bartram is the son of James Wright Bartram (b.1763) and Elizabeth Engall the ancestor of the Bartrams of Melbourne. This William is believed by some researchers to be identified with William Bartram of Fremantle who married as his second wife Sarah Carter in December 1834 in Antingham. Sarah was the sister of Thomas and Henry Carter of Fremantle. The existence of two William Bartram's in Aylmerton has caused some confusion for those researching the Bartram origins.

William Bartram of Fremantle also had four brothers called Cubbitt Engall Bartram of Great Yarmouth and Civita Vecchia (b.1798 Brumstead Norfolk)and Charles Bartram (b. 1801 Brumstead)and John Engall Bartram of Civita Vecchia (b.1804 d.1835)and James Bartram of Cromer. Charles had a son called Cubitt Engall Bartram (b.1848). The elder Cubbitt and his brother John took over the merchant business of their relative Richard Bartram (1749-1826)of Civita Vecchia Italy.

There is interesting correspondence between the Reverend William Gunn of Smallburgh Norfolk and the Bartrams in Civita Vecchia. Cubitt first arrived in Civita Vecchia in 1820 to join his relative Richard Bartram and became his heir. The Norfolk Record Office archive on William Gunn states:"...Next there is a run of letters from Richard Bartram (c 1749-1826), a Norfolk man who had settled as a merchant at Civitavecchia. Gunn met him first during a flying visit to Rome in 1785, and then again in 1792-1793. Bartram was responsible for shipping to Gunn the many copies of works of art and books which he ordered during his visit, but the correspondence continued for the rest of Bartram's life. His letters contain an account of affairs in Italy during the occupation by the French, and its aftermath. Gunn helped him to select the Bartram cousin most suitable to become a merchant, and this young man, Cubitt Bartram, became his partner, and then his heir, and continued the correspondence from Civitavecchia into the 1830s..."

Richard Bartram was also connected with the story of the secret papers of the Royal Stuart dynasty in Italy. Sir James Bartram and his brother William Bartram were also believed to have been connected with the Jacobites, Joseph Wolff and Sir Henry Drummond. Their mother Lady Bartram was born an Italian Jewess was said to be the granddaughter of Cardinal York (alias David Rennie/Modin) and his Italian Jewish mistress with whom the Cardinal had two children before the Cardinal entered religious life. In "Calendar of the Stuart papers belonging to His Majesty the King, preserved at Windsor Castle" it tells the story of how the Stuart papers were brought to Windsor Castle. "...The cases of papers purchased from Waters were in 1805, at Sir J. C. Hippisley's request, deposited by the Treasurer General of the English Benedictines in the custody of Mr. Richard Bartram, who was acting as English Consul at Civita Vecchia, to await an opportunity of transmitting them to England. Sir J. C. Hippisley had been authorized by the Prince of Wales to concert with Lord Nelson such measures as best promised to secure the papers, and after Lord Nelson's death Lord Collingwood wrote to Sir John, in Jan., 1806, that he would endeavour to carry out the plan which had been settled with him. He accordingly, early in July, 1806, sent a brig of war under Capt. Raitt to Civita Vecchia, but unfortunately, twelve days before, the French had unexpectedly occupied the town and the brig's boats were not allowed to land. Another attempt in September by Capt. Raitt to communicate with Mr. Bartram was also unsuccessful. Two days after the occupation of the town Mr. Bartram was arrested and thrown into a dungeon, with threats of being shot, if he did not disclose any property he might have or knew to be at Civita Vecchia belonging to England or to Englishmen. He had fortunately secreted the papers previously, and for several years preserved them safely, though with the greatest personal risk to himself. Mr. Paul Macpherson, the Principal of the Scots College at Rome, frequently communicated with Mr. Bartram with the view of removing the papers from Civita Vecchia, and they were ultimately delivered to the order of Sir J. C. Hippisley, brought to Mr. Bartam by Mr. Macpherson. {Foreign Office Papers, Italian States, No. 8.) A Mr. Bonelli, to whom Sir John had been authorized by the Prince of Wales to confide the commission for obtaining the papers, succeeded, with Mr. Macpherson's assistance, though with considerable risk, in shipping them to Leghorn, from which they were embarked in a Tunisian vessel to Tunis. They were forwarded from thence to Malta, and finally arrived in England in or about 1810, and were placed in the library of Carlton House..."

Richard also had a property in Trimmingham. Cubitt Engall Bartram J.P. of Great Yarmouth had a son Richard Bartram born in 1843 in Civitavecchia and a daughter Ellen Bartram born Civita Vecchia in 1834. Cubitt Engall Bartram of Melbourne Australia may be the one born in 1848 in Norfolk who was the father of Charles and Percy Bartram of Melbourne.

James Bartram's wife Jane Williams was of crypto- Jewish ancestry, however one family tradition told by Henry Hillyer Bartram (1883-1949) of Dumbleyung was that they were related to the Butter Factory Bartram's of Melbourne and that the Bartram were of Spanish Jewish or Gypsy origin on the male line. James Bartram was the father of Henry Bartram of Dumbleyung (1849-1930) and John Robert Bartram of Beverley (1861-1937). Henry Bartram of Beverley and Dumbleyung in Western Australia

Recent Y-dna testing demonstates that the Bartram's have a very uncommon y-dna (with no known matches yet closer than on the 12 level) in the group known as R-SYR2627. This Y-dna goes back to Spain and the Jewish community of the Balearic Islands. The Bartram's of Metton Norfolk descend from Llorens Bertran of Alaior Minorca Spain who took the surname of Bertran from his mother Antonina Judith Henriquez Bertran and Llorens from his father Juan Llorens (Yechiel Luria). In the past members of the family have thought that the family descended from the Bartram family mentioned in the Doomsday book who were of Norman origin. However the R-SYR2627 y-dna proves this very unlikely as so far there is O % of SYR2627 among R1b found in Scandinavia. Others speculated that it was an Old British (Welsh) family in origin but R-SYR2627 is so far 0 % in Wales among R1b. The Bartram family of Scotland and its branches in North America (also called Bertran and Bertrand) are of a different ydna to the Bartram ydna of Metton Norfolk. Both Bartram families are R1b1b2 but come from this ancestry on different male lineages. The Bartram families of Marchington Staffordshire, Norton Derby and Somerset all go back to an ancestor called John Bartram around 1585-1595. However without dna testing we do not know if these Bartram families are related.

The Goose Warriors of Hunza

San Michele di Ganzaria: Home of the Ganza Family in Sicily

The Ganza Family was originally from the Mount Ganzaria region of Sicily in the 15th century. Ganzaria is made up of two words ‘Ganza’ which means goose and ‘ria’ that means song. This was the mount of the goose song. The ancient goose songs (Ganza chansons) are told from the times of Muslim Sicily. These tales were connected with Charlemagne and the Davidic descendants of Makhir Todros ben Judah (also called Aimeri de Narbonne and Theodoric of Narbonne) the Jewish King or Exilarch of Septimania in Carolingian France.

The original Mother Goose or Imma Ganza was the sister of Makhir, Bat Yehudit (Judith)who was also called Bertude or Bertha Goosefoot and was the mother of Charlemagne. She is said to have taught Charlemagne through the use of chansons or goose tales. Many of the famous fairytales of Europe such as Little Red Riding Hood is said to come from this collection of Mother Goose Tales as well as many Nursery Rhymes.

Angelica di Hunza and Rogero d'Este

Imma Ganza ‘s songs were added to by her descendants in Sicily which became the base of the famous epic ‘Orlando Furioso’ and the poem ‘Orlando Innamorato’ in which two of Makhir’s "children" (descendants) Rinaldo and his sister Bradamante take a leading part. These tales are also the base of the famous Sicilian puppet shows. The Ganza/Ganassa family bought these marionette versions of the Ganza chansons to Naples and Rinaldo was involved with them in Naples. Professor David Renaker writes: "In Ariosto's Orlando Furioso ,III.xvii, Bradamante enters a cave containing the tomb of Merlin, which utters prophecies concerning her descendants when she shall have married Ruggiero. These descendants shall spread all over Europe and the east as far as India, producing marquises, counts, dukes, and Caesars." Makhir is called Duke Aymon in these tales and his son Nehemiah ha Makiri (Amery l’Chetif/ Theodoric) is called Duke Namus (Namon) of Bavaria. This Namon is also found in the story of the Swan Knight who came to Charlemagne’s court. The Italian bards confuse events from the time of Charlemagne with those of the 11th century in Muslim Sicily. Ferrau is in fact Mar Nathan Kalonymus Barzillai (William Bras-de-fer) and Bradimante (Eremburga) is his daughter. Rinaldo is actually her uncle Reynold de Falais rather than her brother as related in the tales. Eremburga is the second wife of her half-uncle Rogero.

The Marionette Puppets of Sicily

In my article entitled "The Davidic Ancestry of Prince William and Prince Harry" I write: "Many different genealogies trace back to the family of Mar Eliyahu ben Barzillai giving him different ancestral names. He left Barcelona for Flanders and Normandy. He took Richard as his Frankish name, Mari Bohun de Ferrers was his title as Princely Captain of the Barzeloni. Both Fulbert and Tancred are aliases or nicknames given to him at different phases of his life. He also had two wives and a very large family. Many of his descendants would go to Sicily and battle the Saracens. His son Mar Nathan Kalonymus Barzillai was also called William Iron-Arm (Barzillai/Bras-de-fer) and in the Ganza chansons Ferrau. The Saracens called him Wala Kalon of the Ferrau (i.e. Barzeloni). He was named for his ancestor William de Gellone (Natan Kalonymus) a son of Makhir of Narbonne. His brother Reynold de Falaise was called Rinaldo in the Ganza chansons of Sicily and Rinaldo married the beautiful eastern princess Angelica de Hunza who lived with her brother Argalia at Yhanazria (San Michele di Ganzaria) in Sicily. William’s daughter Eremburga was called Bradimante in the Chansons and she married her half-uncle Rogero. The chansons are confused about the ancestry of Rogero stating he is a descendant of Alexander the Great and a Davidic Prince. It is Angelica (Angiola/Ultar) and her brother Argalia of Hunza who descend from Alexander the Great. Rogero is indeed a Davidic prince of the House of the Barzeloni for whom Barcelona was named." Mar Eliyahu's aliases are descriptive of him. Fulbert means 'very bright' and Tancredi means 'thoughful counsellor'.

The Jewish Warrior Princess Bradamante

The tales speak of a beautiful Eastern Lady Angelica and her brother Argalia who come from the far East (either India or Cathay in the tales). Both Rinaldo and Ferrau (Barzillai) a Moor desire Angelica. I believe that Angelica(Ultar /Altar /Altrude) and Argalia (Aga)belonged to the Royal Family of Hunza. Hunza was a Muslim state in Pakistan. Argalia de Hunza was the Moor ruler of the village named Yhanzaria or Hunzaria in Sicily. Like his sister Angelica he married into the Jewish family descended from Makhir and Charlemagne. His French Jewish wife passed the Ganza tales to her Jewish descendants and Yhanzaria became Ganzaria. They built a Temple in honour of the Archangel Michael the Warrior, which was also called ‘Tempio de Francesi’- the Temple of the French. The town then became known under Christian rule as San Michele di Ganzaria.

The Home of Angelica/Ultar on Mt Ultar

In the eastern Aramaic Jewish dialects Gaz means goose and Argalia de Hunza's father was Mir Gazan or Ghazan of Hunza who was also called Guaimar. In Hunza legend Queen Ultar was a fairy Queen who lived in a crystal or ice castle on Ultar Mountain which was named for her. Sarina Singh writes in her travel book: "On the lofty summit of Ultar (7388 Metres) towering dramatically above Hunza, a fairy queen once lived in a crystal palace. And from this legendary mountain flows Hunza's life giving irrigation water. Baltit Fort guards the entrance to the steep narrow canyon which opens in it's upper reaches onto surrounded by a cascade of glaciers and granite."
Hunza legend also speaks of the founder of the Hunza dynasty as a fairy or skyborn Prince who married into an older dynasty. John Mock writes: "We should also note that the legendary hero who married Shri Badat's daughter and founded the line of Hunza Mirs (Biddulph 1880:135) was no mere human, but a "fairy-born" prince, who descended to earth from another realm. The rulers of Hunza were ascribed magical powers and held to be "sky-born" (Ayesho in the local language Burushashki) like the hero who routed Shri Badat. The celebration in song and ceremony (Clark 1956:175) of the overthrow of Shri Badat by his own daughter and her sky-born husband forms a narrative about kingly power and its legitimate usage. Because of this significance, the legend finds a place in Hunza history as a validation of social and political conditions. John Clark shows us the legend being sung in the royal assembly, its singing patronized by the ruler, and the ruler sponsoring the tumshiling festival which reenacts the legend (Clark 1956:175)." The royal House of Hunza descends from Ayesho and the Ganish (Queen)of Hunza the daughter of Girkis according to the Hunza legend related by Colonel Biddulph.

One branch of the Ganza family descended from Argalia de Hunza and Imma Muriel de Barzeloni (Ferrau)went to Portugal and settled in Braga where the town of Barcelos was named for them. The name of Braganza is a combination of 'braga' and 'ganza'. Alfonso the first Duke of Braganza is said to have had a Jewish mother who was the lover of the Portuguese King. It would seem that the Royal House of Braganza descends from the Ganza family only through the female line. Argalia and Muriel's (daughter of William Iron Arm and his wife Mabilie de Wallincourt)son Rogero de Hunza has been confused in the Ganza chansons with his maternal granduncle Rogero who married Bradimante (Eremburga)the sister of Muriel.

The Hunza Valley in Pakistan

Some of the Hunza People of the Hunza Valley were Jewish before their conversion to Islam. The Ruler of Hunza was called the Mir. This name derives from the Jewish Mar for descendants of the Royal House of David. He may have been a member of the Khazar Royal family or one of the Khazar Nobles. Rieski based on the book of John Clark describes the Hunza or Hunzkuts as a lighter skinned Causasian people. "The Hunzakuts had lighter skin than the neighboring tribes and appeared to be of Caucasian origin. John Clark reported in 1950 seeing children with black, brown and blond hair and an occasional redhead. They probably chose the Hunza River Valley because of its sheer isolation, but the men took wives from neighboring peoples. Hunza women were said to have been beautiful. This is highly probably since the Persian women taken as captives were likely the best looking." The Mir of Hunza claimed descent from Alexander the Great, and in the 'Orlando Furioso' the same claim is made for the hero Rogero. He is also said to be of the Royal House of King David (see Milner "The Royal House of Britain: An Enduring Dynasty"). An article in the Times entitled "A kind of Kingdom in Paradise" states:"The Mir, or ruler, of Hunza believed his tiny kingdom to be the equal of China, and likened himself to Alexander the Great from whom he claimed descent. When the British turned up in the 1870s he took them for petitioners seeking to make Queen Victoria his vassal. Not wishing to waste time arguing, the colonial officials had him deposed, replacing him with an amenable brother whom the Mir had carelessly neglected to murder on his way to the throne." Michael Winn writes in his article "Hunza :Shangri-la of Islam": "The "Hunza Road" is a 2,000-year-old branch of the ancient Silk Road that linked China to Rome, the Mediterranean, Africa and India. It was probably its economic and military value that led Muslim Pathan tribes from Afghanistan to try to capture the valley; they would have wanted to prevent neighboring Tibetans, Mongols, Chinese or Kashmiri forces from controlling the Karakorum passes. And though it took three major invasions in the eighth, ninth and thirteenth centuries, the Muslim forces eventually succeeded and Hunza has been a center of Islam ever since." It is believed that many of the Pathan are descended from Jews. See this article about the Pathan.

Jewish silk dyers

Kurinsky in his article "Dye-Making: A Judaic Traditional Art" writes " Judaic merchants learned silk production (sericulture) in China and first established the art in the Near-East. The Romans, the Byzantines, and later the Norman Crusader Roger (when King of Sicily), all employed Judaic sericulturists to introduce the art into their economies. A sophisticated dyeing technology was likewise brought to Europe from the Near-East by Judaic masters of the art. The eighteenth century European textile industry, so masterfully illustrated by Diderot, was based largely on these and other Judaic innovations. Jews continued to be deeply involved in all aspects of the dyeing industry."

In ancient times the goose was associated with Warriors. The Ganza family would associate their name with that of a Warrior. The Ganza Family were involved in the silk trade as well as being trained warriors. The name Hansa or Ganza would become associated with a military troop or trade group as these Jewish warrior merchants traded in silk throughout Europe. In many Hasidic tales we hear of these Jewish soldiers who appear and surprise the Jews of Europe. Many assume they must be warrior descendants of the Khazar Jews. The Muslims of Sicily referred to the people of Ganzaria as 'kanzir' which is associated with pigs in Arabic. This is an Arabic version of Marrano.

Argalia (Aga Khan) and Angelica (Ultar) were the children of Mir Ghazan of Hunza a descendant of Ayesho of Gaz Kul and the Ganish of Hunza. Ghazan refers to this ancient dynasty from Gaz Kul (Goose Lake) high in the mountains. Mir Ghazan is the Goose Lord. The European historians and genealogists had hidden his identity by calling him Guaimar a name found in the ruling family of Salerno. Mir Ghazan is called Guaimar de Salerno in later records and genealogies. Like the Royal Family of Khazaria, Ayesho and Ganish embraced Judaism in the 8th century. The Jewish Mir Ghazan was allied with the Muslims and left Hunza with his goose warriors for Muslim Sicily, where they were based in Catania. Mir Ghazan and his family and warriors then allied themselves with the Normans of Sicily where he took the name of Guaimar de Salerno when he married Gaitelgrima de Salerno [a descendant of Makhir Todros of Narbonne] (born 1013)and the daughter of Guiamar III of Salerno and Gaitelgrima of Capua. Gaitelgrima de Salerno wife of Guaimar V (Mir Ghazan) was also called Imma Gaitelgrima or Gemma. It is possible that Guaimar V (also called IV) of Salerno was Mir Ghazan a son-in-law of Guaimar III rather than his son Guaimar IV. The later chroniclers sought to hide his eastern Jewish connection. The chronicler Amatus of Montecassino notes how different he was to his supposed father Guaimar, he writes that Guaimar IV was "more courageous than his father, more generous and more courteous; indeed he possessed all the qualities a layman should have—except that he took an excessive delight in women". Guaimar (Ghazan) became confused with his wife's brother who became the ruler of Salerno after his father's death in 1027 under the regency of his mother Gaitelgrima of Capua. He died in 1031 and it is then that Mir Ghazan took the name of Guaimar de Salerno and married Gailtelgrima the young daughter of Guaimar III. This is the reason that the numbering of the Guaimar rulers is often confused. Mir Ghazan is Guaimar V of Salerno but has been confused by the chroniclers with his brother-in-law Guaimar IV.

Gaz Kul or the Goose Lake in Afghanistan: Original Home of the Ganza Family

Gaz Kul or Goose Lake is also called many other names such as Oikul, Cakmak, Chaqmaqtin, Victoria Lake and Little Pamir Lake. Gaz Khan is the Goose City which is in Badakhshan in Afganistan. This part of the world is known as 'the Roof of the world". It is also called the Wakhan Valley. Citt Williams describes the Wakhan Valley: "This fertile valley has been inhabited and used as a Silk road trade route for centuries and is littered with archaeological markers. Age old petroglyphs, 3rd century BC Forts, Buddhist stupas and hermit caves, Islamic mausoleums, and burnt out army tanks document the valley’s colourful history.
This valley straddles the Tajiki-Afghani border and looking right across the Pyanj river is Afghanistan and the magnificent Hindu Kush. Famously known as the Wakhan Corridor, it was divvied up as a "no-mans land" by Britain and Russia during the Great Game era." One of the main ethnic groups of Hunza are the Wakhi.

The goose is the Warrior symbol of the Ganza family

At the time of the expulsion of the Jews of Sicily in 1493 some of the Ganzas converted and the others fled North into Italy. They may have gone to Calabria first. It is said that the Franciscus or Francisco branch of the family went to Naples. I believe they have taken their name from the “Tempio di Francesci’ in San Michele di Ganzaria. They became Christians and they later went to Switzerland where they became Mennonites. . In 1540 the Michele Ganza (Ganassa) and his family left Calabria for Naples. In Naples Michele’s son Raphael Ganza and his family outwardly embraced Catholicism and he took the name Rinaldo after his ancestor. Rinaldo de Ganza’s sons Michele, Antonio, and Fernando moved to Lombardy. Michele de Ganza the Younger was the great grandfather of Antonio Ganza who went to Poland at the end of the 17th century.

One branch of the family went to Lombardy others remained in Naples. In Lombardy most of the family remained outwardly Catholic while observing Judaism in secret due to the persecution of Jews at this time. They intermarried with other crypto-Jewish or Marrano families who had gone to Peru and later due to the persecutions of the Inquisition fled to Italy. Antonio Ganza (aka Aharon Ganzarski) of Lombardy married Maria Escudo (aka Miriam Magen) whose family had come from Chiclayo in Peru. Two other families that came with the Escudo family from Chiclayo were the Niculas (Niklaj or Nicolaj) and Cecilia families. The Escudo family were originally from Valladolid in Spain. The Cecilia family were originally from Sicily like the Ganza family.they reverted to open Judaism in Poland. The Frankist Branch of the family in Ireland took the name Ganley.

R1b-L21 Davidic sons of Joseph of Arimathea

2009-11-09T18:08:00.000-08:00

Those who have read my previous posts will know that I believe that the male line of the ancient Israelites was the R1b haplotype and that J is the group belonging to the Samaritans, Saducees and Assyrians. I also have demonstrated how High King Niall of the Nine Hostages (M-222)is a descendant of Joseph of Arimathea's grandson Nathan the Red of Ireland. This Nathan the Red may be the founder of the R1b-L21 clans of the House of King David or this may be the y-dna of King David himself. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia belongs to this group and is a direct male line descendant of the House of Oldenburgh who descend from the Babylonian Exilarchs. The Royal House of Stuart also is R1b-L21.
Tsar Nicholas II of the Royal House of King David reigning over Russia

Recent DNA testing is revealing a number of Ashkenazi Jews [as well as some Sephardi Jews] who have L21 but not M222 in Germany,Poland and Lithuania. Familytreedna research project on L21 in June 2009 states: "Eastern European Ashkenazi R-L21* Haplotype Cluster discovered with characteristic marker values 388=11, 392=14, 459b=9, and 464c=15. Commenting on the comparison of several cluster haplotypes, Dr. Anatole Klyosov wrote (translated from Russian by Lena Govor): ". . . [A]ll these haplotypes have 8 mutations in 25 markers and 14 mutations in 37 markers. This places the common ancestor of all 7 haplotypes 650±240 years back if calculating on the basis of 25-markers and 550±160 back if calculating on the basis of 37 markers. In other words these seven people have a common ancestor who lived in the 14-15th century. It is possible to reconstruct that these families fled Central Europe around 650 years ago when Europe was depopulated by the bubonic plaque and Jews were often massacred as alleged culprits of the epidemic. The surviving Jews fled to Lithuania and Poland, who offered them protection. Jews at that time experienced a genetic bottleneck. That is why the most distant common ancestor of many Jewish clusters lived in the middle of the 14th century or later – that corresponds to the time of their migration to the new territories in Eastern Europe."

Possible route of Davidic family (L21)from the Black Sea to Germany fleeing the Persians in the 5th century AD

There is much confusion as to whether L21 comes from the British Isles or from the continent. Others postulate Celtic theories and Jewish conversions. However the evidence seems to fit with my own theories about the descendants of Nathan the Red who is the ancestor of the Babylonian Exilarchs. Nathan the Red's descendants left Ireland to settle in Babylon in the 2nd century AD. Later under the persecutions of the Davidic House by the Persians many surviving members of the Davidic House fled to Germany in late Merovingian times and others to Southern France in the time of the Carolingians. Other members of the Babylonian House of David went to Barcelona and Spain in the 10th century and we also find some L21 in Spain and Portugal as well as from some Jews of Sephardi ancestry. I also recently was sent this from the L21 research project: "Recent random testing of R1b1b2 men of French ancestry for L21 has produced remarkable results. Of those we have tested or recruited for testing, at least half have turned out to be L21+. The figure for Northern France is even higher. It appears that L21 may be as common in France, if not more common, as it is in England. L21 is also showing up frequently in Germany, and we have one member who traces his ancestry to Luxembourg. That is quite remarkable, as well, since persons of Luxembourg descent are pretty rare in YSearch and other genetic genealogy databases. These kinds of results are beginning to give us some clues about the origin of L21, although that subject remains controversial and open to interpretation. One thing is for sure: such results are revealing how L21is distributed on the European Continent."

A Samaritan Cohen

The R1b-ht35 that has been found in Jewish populations may be the true levitical and cohen dna. The so-called famous Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH) of the J haplogroup is in fact the Samaritan and Saducee cohanim (priests) (J1 and J2) not the cohanim and leviim descended from Aaron and Levi (R-ht35). Dna studies also demonstrate that the y-dna of Mohammed the Muslim prophet is also J1e and thus he was descended from the Ishmaeli Samaritan/Saducee priests allied with the House of Shammai. One encyclodepia entry on nationmaster.com states: "Genetic and demographic investigations of the Samaritan community were carried out in the 1960s. Detailed pedigrees of the last 13 generations show that the Samaritans comprise four lineages:
The Tsedakah lineage, claiming descent from the tribe of Manasseh
The Joshua-Marhiv lineage, claiming descent from the tribe of Ephraim
The Danfi lineage, claiming descent from the tribe of Ephraim
The priestly Cohen lineage from the tribe of Levi.
Of the 12 Samaritan males, 10 (83%) belong to haplogroup J, which has three of the four Samaritan families. The Joshua-Marhiv family belongs to subhaplogroup J1, while the Danfi and Tsedakah families belong to subhaplogroup J2, and can be further distinguished by M67, the derived allele of which has been found in the Danfi family..." However the original High Priest line of the Samaritans died out and the present priests are from the Samaritan Levite families who are of E haplogroup the same as some Ashkenazis and Sephardis who claim Levite status. We know from Scripture that the Samaritan's are not of Israelite ancestry but of Assyrian ancestry. Absolute astronomy website on an article on DNA called "Y-chromosomal Aaron" states: "The E1b1b1 haplogroup (formerly known as haplogroup E3b1) has been observed in all Jewish groups worldwide. It is considered to be the second most prevalent haplogroup among the Jewish population. According to one major paper it has also been observed in moderate numbers among individuals from Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Samaritan communities having traditions of descending from the tribe of Levi, suggesting that the E1b1b1 Levites may have existed in Israel before the Diaspora of 70 C.E."

The website of Familytreedna states in regard to ht-35: "Before the advent of Y-SNP testing, and well before the discovery of detailed knowledge about the structure of haplogroup R1b, TaqI 49a,f haplotypes were used by early population geneticists. Two particular TaqI 49a,f haplotypes have been found to be associated with what we now know to be haplogroup R1b1b2. The two haplotypes are ht15 and ht35. ht15 is most commonly found in western European R1b1b2... ht35, the parent haplotype of ht25, is most commonly found in southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia...Elevated levels of ht35 have also been observed among Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewish populations. Recently, several SNPs have been discovered that are believed to effectively demarcate ht15 from ht35. These include L11, L52, P310, and P311. We believe that all ht35 will be negative for these four Y-SNPs and also for P312 and U106". The Wikipedia article on R1b also discusses the R-ht35. It states: "There also exists a haplotype of R1b with the DYS393=12 which is known in the literature as Haplotype 35, or ht35, as opposed to the AMH which is known as haplotype 15...They can be found in high numbers in Anatolia and Armenia with smaller numbers throughout the Middle East, in Jewish populations, in Southeastern Europe, and in the Caucasus Mountains. There is also a sizable pocket of ht35 in Uyghur populations in western China, which is thought to be a remnant of the Tocharians, an Indo-European speaking people that inhabited the Tarim Basin in Central Asia until they were later absorbed by various Turkic peoples. Ht35 is also present in Britain in areas that were found to have a high concentration of Haplogroup J, suggesting they arrived together, perhaps through Roman soldiers."

The Dna evidence seems to clear up a mystery in regards to the parents of Lancelot. His parents Anlach (Angus) and Marchell seems to have quite confused the genealogists. Anlach [L21] is the son of the Judiarch Nathan Todros (Tudwal)of the Gewisse [who some genealogists make the father of Marchell]and his wife Princess Coron [confused with a King Coronac by some). Marchell is an Irish Princess of Dal Riata the daughter of King Muredach [M-222]of Ireland. Thus the many L21 descendants on the continent are the descendants of the Davidic House both among the Christian Royalty and Aristocracy and their descendants as well as among the Jewish population. It is possible that all R1b-P312 may be of the descendants of King David and thus the clan to which Joseph of Arimathea belongs or P312 may be the clan of the male line descendants of Judah and thus Joseph of Arimathea would not only be P312 but also of its subclade L21. I think that the latter is the most likely. Nevertheless to the clan of L21 belong Charlemagne, St Louis IX of France and Machir Theodoric the Jewish King of Narbonne and all their direct male line descendants. Many years ago I read an old book that claimed that millions of Western Europeans were the descendants of King David and it would seem that this is indeed true if L21 is the Davidic clan.

If P312 is a Judahite line then R1b-U152 would be a clan of Judah and it could be the pagan Judahites that were taken away into the Assyrian Captivity with the Lost Tribes and for which Jutland was named or it may be from the Ashkenazi Jewish diaspora. SRY2627 and M153 would also be of clans of Judah that was part of the Jewish diaspora that went to Spain and Portugal and converted to Catholicism. R-M65 may be a clan of Judah that came from Calalus to the Basque country. At his stage of research it is believed that R1b among Ashkenazi Jews is about 10-15% and among Sephardi Jews 30-40 %. R-U106 would seem to be of the descendants of Joseph. However it is still early days in genetic research and further developments and data are needed to speculate any further. It is important to remember that one is not more or less Jewish if they don't descend from Judah on the direct male line. Through intermarriage most Jews will be descendants of Judah even if it isn't on the direct patrilineal line.

Julio Cesare di Rossi

2009-10-28T12:22:00.000-07:00

Julio Cesare di Rossi was born in Naples in 1559 the son of the merchant Guglielmo di Rossi and his wife Elisabetta Masella. His parents were devout Catholics of Jewish ancestry. Guglielmo's father Giacomo di Rossi a Jewish merchant from Ferrara who with his wife became Catholics under the patronage of Ercole II the Duke of Este. Giacomo (aka Jacob) was the son of Moses di Rossi of Mantua. The di Rossi family of both the Jewish and Christian branches were connected to the families of the Dukes of Este and the Lords of Pico de Mirandola. These families shared an interest in Kabbalah and how the Jewish and Catholic mystical traditions reveal deep insight into the Divine Revelation found in Scripture.

The Jewish origins of Julio Cesare di Rossi who became San Lorenzo [St. Lawrence] of Brindisi has been obscured eventhough his writings reflect the rich traditions of his Jewish origins. He may have drawn on the Jewish and Catholic mystical teachings as they were developed in the writings of Giovanni Pico de Mirandola and Giovanni Francesco Pico de Mirandola. Even the Jewish branches of the family such as the famous Salamone di Rossi the musician and his singer sister Europa di Rossi were connected to these aristocratic families who were patrons of the arts and learning with a special interest in the Jewish and Catholic mystical traditions.

Europa was a name found in both the Jewish and Catholic branches of the di Rossi (Rossa, Rossi, Russo) family. In Hebrew they were called min ha Adumim (from the Red) or Edumim. They were an ancient Jewish Roman family that legend states were bought to Rome by Titus. Rabbi Azariah (Bonaiuto) di Rossi was also a famous Jewish member of the family. Berechiah Russo the Sabbatean may also have come from the Jewish branch of this family.

San Lorenzo di Rossi of Brindisi was believed by the Jewish community to be a Jew who had become a Catholic. No doubt the Jewish rabbis knew of his family's Jewish origins and his features also were very Jewish. His knowledge of the Jewish writings and the Scriptures in Hebrew, Greek , Aramaic and Arabic were extraordinary which further reinforced the Jewish belief is his Jewish origins. He is said to have converted thousands of Jews to Catholicism. He was later declared a Doctor of the Church.

keseF nivchaR leshoN tzadiK (Proverbs 10:20)

2009-04-26T21:06:00.000-07:00

As I have written elsewhere Rebbe Nachman of Breslov and the Alter Rebbe were accused of being Sabbateans and Frankists. In fact Rebbe Nachman and the Alter Rebbe were opposed to the antinomian teachings of the Sabbateans and of those later called Frankists influenced by the Prague Sabateans after the death of Jacob Frank. These Prague Sabbateans distorted and corrupted the teaching of Jacob Frank who in fact became a devout Catholic and his Zoharists the advocates of a new marian movement in the Church. Frank and his Jewish followers reveal that the Zohar was a book of Marian and Trinitarian mysticism. Frank and Rebbe Nachman were the forerunners of the Phenomenological approach made popular in the Catholic Church today by St Edith Stein and Pope John Paul II.

Rebbe Nachman in "Likutey Moharan 29:11" reveals in his highly mystical discussion on the "bat mazleh" [(daughter of destiny)who is associated with the Mother of All- daughter of Abraham (Bakol)]that his teachings have their source in those of Jacob Frank. Rebbe Nachman often writes of the Hidden Tzaddik who is associated with the Messiah son of Joseph and he refers to Frank as "choice silver of the tongue of the Tzaddik". So here in "Likutey Moharan" he in a hidden way reveals that Jacob Frank is a true messenger of the Hidden Tzaddik. Rabbi Moshe Mykoff translation of the Likutey Moharan states; "And this is: That one, too, has found bat maZleh- this corresponds to 'noZlim from LeBaNon'- from the LiBuNa (whiteness) of the mind...All this is alluded to in the words (Proverbs 10:20) "keseF nivchaR leshoN tzadiK' [the last letters of which spell FRaNK.]"

Rebbe Nachman clearly is negative to the perversion of the Kabbalah by Sabbatai Zevi who he alludes to as "Saturn, the black vessel" [shabtai patya ecama] and criticises those who build houses in the sky as do the Gnostics. Shabtai is the Hebrew name for the planet Saturn. Rebbe Nachman opposes the Sabbatean antinomian moral perversion by stressing the centality of moral purity by guarding the Brit (covenant). Rebbe Nachman refers to certain Jewish Rabbis as Jewish scholar demons who pervert the Torah to their own rationalistic and Gnostic ends. The rings or circles of Saturn are associated by Rebbe Nachman with the evil encirclements of the Other Side. These are opposed by the divine circles or rounds (Galgalim) associated with the concept of hair in a circle. These refer to the locks and hair of the Beloved in the Song of Songs.

In Jewish lore Shabtai/Saturn is associated with the black abode of demons (also see Testament of Solomon). Also ancient texts speak of Solomon and his adversary Prince Shabtai (Saturn) of Babylonia (Chaldea). (Also see the Anglo-Saxon text Solomon and Saturn). Rebbe Nachman alludes to this tradition about Saturn/ Shabtai and links this with the Sabbateans. He sees the two sides of the followers of the Tzadik and those of the wicked ones in Proverb 10 as refering to the opposition between the teachings of Frank and Sabbatai Zevi (the Wolf of Saturn who masquerades as the Sabbath Deer). This demonic Shabtai is linked with the demoness Lilith- the false maiden/handmaid spoken of by Rebbe Nachman. Here he seems to allude to Eva Frank as a false handmaid who united with the Prague Sabateans and betrayed the teachings of her father Jacob Frank. The uniting of Lilith (as a false Eve) and Shabtai (Saturn)is seen as a type for the uniting of Eva Frank with the Sabbateans of Prague. We see this mixing of the rich teachings of Jacob Frank with the distortions and perversions of the Sabbateans in the collections of the sayings of Frank that has come down to us.(see my article on Jacob Frank on this blog).
The God/demon Saturn

The Zohar in a number of places speaks of the false handmaid of Shabtai (called Lilith) and her opposite the true handmaid of the Lord the Sabbath Queen. Zohar ki Tetze states:"The moon was created on the fourth day and when it is waning, when there is poverty, Lilith was created, who is Saturn (Shabtai), which is hunger and thirst and the eclipse of the luminaries... There is another star, which is a small dot over the moon, which is a luminary. This is the dot Cholam a King's daughter, Queen Shabbat. And the dominion of both (Shabtai and Sabbath) is on the seventh day, of which it says, "that your manservant and your maidservant may rest" (Devarim 5:14)...." Zohar Phinchas also refers to Lilith as Shabtai and associates her with the lower part of Sheol. The Zohar alludes to Sarah (mother of the Israelites) as a type of the true handmaid representing the Sabbath Queen and the full moon is her symbol. Hagar (mother of the Ishmaelites)as a type of Lilith/Shabtai and the crescent/waning moon as her symbol.

The Israeli Jewish scholar Yehuda Liebes in his work "Studies in Jewish Myth and Jewish Messianism" also believes that Rebbe Nachman was influenced by the writings and teachings of Jacob Frank. He lists a number of parallels in their writings. "I shall ...remark on the several other parallels, beginning with those between R. Nahman and Jacob Frank, who, I believe, had a profound influence on R. Nahman. During his youth, in the years of his Hitbodedut...R Nahman may have come across Frankists who had remained Jews, of whom there were many in Podolia." (Yehuda Liebes in 'Studies in Jewish Myth and Jewish Messianism')
