II. COASTAL PHOENICIANS EXPLORE THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA. (TRIBE OF DAN ?) Based upon my study of Mythology, the name Dan would seem to signify a group of people living in Phoenicia around 1200 BC. Considering Phoenicia was under the control of Egypt, one might conclude that Dan represented an Egyptian administrative district.

CELTS INVADE IRELAND: 200 BC: THE CELTIC GAELS OF GALLAECIA MOVE IN: A. Five regional districts are established throughout Ireland while the indigenious tribes are either assimilated or killed. B. Genetic research shows a strong similarity between the Y chromosome haplotypes of males from northwestern Spain and northern Portugal and Irish men with Gaelic surnames. (Trinity College, Dublin, University of Leeds, McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge). MYTHOLOGICAL ACCOUNT: A. The Lebor Gabála Érenn (The Book of the Taking of Ireland) recalls how the Tuatha Dé Danann (Tribe of Dan?) invaded Ireland and defeated the indigenious peoples. The Dannan were supposedly the descendants of a Scythian King. (Ancient Scythia encompassed Syria which was in the vicinity of Northern Canaan). B. The Tuatha Dé Danann fought a losing battle to the Milesians who were descendants of Míl Espáine (Soldier of Hispania).

47BC: CAESARION, aka “JESUS?” A. Caesarion’s official birth title proclaimed him a God, Son of God and King of Kings. He later became patron of the Pharaohs and was given the title “son of truth.” B. Caesarion’s Royal Egyptian names were: 1. Iwapanetjer entynehem – “Heir of the God who saves” 2. Setepenptah – “Chosen of Ptah” 3. Irmaatenre – “Sun of Righteousness” 4. Sekhemankhamun – “Living Image of Amun” C. Caesarion was Pharoah for a brief time and although he never officialy became Caesar, he was the only heir of Gaius Julius Caesar. D. Caesarion was also seen as the reincarnation of the god Horus, son of Isis (Cleopatra) 1. According to Egyptian Mythology, Isis was impregnated by the “divine fire” and conceived a miraculous son (Horus). E. The Egyptian deity Shed (Savior) represents the Egyptian concept of salvation and is associated with Horus as a child.

EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD EXCERPT CONCERNING HORUS: A. Thy son Horus hath ascended thy throne, and all life is with him. Millions of years minister unto him, and millions of years hold him in fear. The Company of the Gods are his servants, and they hold him in fear. The god Tem, the Governor, the only One among the gods, hath spoken, and his word passeth not away. Horus is both the divine food and the sacrifice. He made haste to gather together [the members of] of his father. Horus is his deliverer.

OF HORUS MASONIC EYE OF PROVIDENCE The main function of the Metternich Stela was for the magical healing of poisons, mostly caused by animals. Water was poured over the Stela and collected. The water from the Stela was then drunk by the person suffering from the poisonous ailment

CHRISTIANITY EVOLVES FROM BUDDHISM: A. Missionary routes between India and the Mediterranea were well established at this point. Emperor Ashkoa (304 BC) sent the first Buddhist missionaries to the Mediterranean. They visited cities such as Athens, Antioch and Caesarion’s home town of Alexandria Egypt. (See Edicts of Ashoka) Buddhist missionaries from the Theravāda school established a colony in Alexandria. Histroian Philo (20 BC-50 AD) called them the Therapeutae. B. De Vita Contemplativa: (here,

Philo describes the Therapeutae) 1.”Now this class of persons may be met with in many places, for it was fitting that both Greece and the country of the barbarians should partake of whatever is perfectly good; and there is the greatest number of such men in Egypt, in every one of the districts, or nomes, as they are called, and especially around Alexandria; and from all quarters those who are the best of these therapeutae proceed on their pilgrimage to some most suitable place as if it were their country, which is beyond the Maereotic lake.” 2. “The entire interval from dawn to evening is given up by them to spiritual exercises. For they read the holy scriptures and draw out in thought and allegory their ancestral philosophy, since they regard the literal meanings as symbols of an inner and hidden nature revealing itself in covert ideas.” 3. “These men abandon their property without being influenced by any predominant attraction, and flee without even turning their heads back again.” 4. “They profess an art of medicine more excellent than that in general use in cities.” METTERNICH STELLA: A large portion of Romans were members of the Cult of Isis around the time of Caesarion and afterwards. The cult was known to proscribe periods of sexual abstinence to its adherents. A coffin burried in St. Peter’s tomb contains the body of a woman who was initiated into the mysteries of the Egyptian Isis. The Cult of Isis was persecuted under several Roman rulers. Private chapels were destroyed and followers were crucifed. The male name Isidore (Greek: “Gift of Isis”) has been given to several saints of the Catholic church including Saint Isidore of Seville.

BIBLICAL JESUS DISAPPEARS FROM HISTORY: A. At approximately the same age that Casarion escaped to India, the Biblical Jesus dissapears from the Biblical record. An 18 year span of his alleged life is missing.

300 AD: IRISH GAELS INVADE SCOTLAND: HISTORICAL: A. Small Gael settlements going back centuries had been established in southwestern Scotland near the areas of Argyll and Bute. A new influx of Gaels from Ireland arrive in this locale and begin the early formations of what will become the Dál Riata Kingdom. B. At it’s height, the Dál Riata encompassed the current wards of Argyll and Bute, Lochaber and County Antrim. MYTHOLOGY: A. The origins of Scotland have been traced to two variations of a similar tale. In each story, Pharaoh’s daughter Scota arrives in Ireland with an early Scythia explorer. Supposedly, the Romans referred to early Irish raiders of the would be Scotland, as Scoti. The name Scotland was derived from Scoti. 400-849 AD CANAANITE BLOODLINE AND THE ANGLO-SAXONS: A. The Angles who were originally from Denmark settled in Northern Germany(Schleswig-Holstein). The Angles merged with the Saxons of Germany and Holland. The Anglo-Saxons then migrated to Scotland(Bernicia). Bernicia merged with Deira of Northern England and formed the kingdom of N orthumbria. B. The Canaanite bloodline was passed on to Anglo-Saxon immigrants from Denmark, Germany and Holland through intermarriage with the Gaels of Scotland. B. The most famous Anglo-Saxon was Alfred the Great, King of Wessex. The House of Wessex ancestoral line links Alfred the Great to Matilda of Scotland. Matilda married Henry I of England. As ancestors of Henry, the kings and queens of England including Queen Elizabeth II are related to Alfred the Great. C. Close relationships between the English Monarchy and the Royal households of Denmark and Holland are based upon ancestral intermarriage. ANGLO-SAXON HELMET 1100 AD: THE HOUSE OF WELF-ESTE: A. The House of Welf (Guelph) is a European Dynasty established through intermarriage between various European royal households. Enduring relationships were established between royalty in Britain, Germany, Italy, Austria and elsewhere. The eldest members of the dynasty hail from Lombardy Italy. B.

1550 AD THE FREEMASONS: STATUE OF LIBERTY (ISIS) French Grand Orient Temple Masons: A. Kilwinning Lodge was the first Freemasonic lodge and was located in Kilwinning Scotland near the area the Irish Gaels first settled in Scotland. The Canaanite bloodline is maintained through the ancestory of many Freemasons. B. Similar to ancient mystery religions such as the Eleusinian Mysteries, members of Freemasonry are not told all of the mysteries of the secret society from the beginning. One must pass through multiple levels before the greatest mysteries are revealed. Most members never achieve the highest levels. Lesser members typically continue to believe in the supreme being they belived in upon initiation. C. At the highest levels of Masonry, the hybrid Canaanite/Egyptian pantheon is worshipped. According to the Masonic perspective, the goddess Isis is at the head of the Pantheon.
