OPHIR: - I include an excerpt from my book The Kelts: Children of
Don as a way of giving gist of what Biblical Ophir and guilds of metal workers named after him may have been up to in four millennia before Jesus. Whether his guild of workers actually built a temple for David as mentioned in Bible does not really matter. There is lots of evidence of international nature of corporate enterprises going back long before Ophir. They shared knowledge on oceans and made charts that led to Hadji Ahmed map that shows Bering Strait as it was 12,500 years ago. Some of these navigators learned trigonometry and geometry as a natural progression of their travel by stars. Cults of adepts began to value these trade routes and knowledge of where minerals were. There is good reason to believe these things began a very long time before Last Ice Age. The sidereal charts we saw MacDari quote McCarthy and Professor about, Hadji Ahmed map, Australian man, Biblical city of Ophir that Solomon traded with and lots of reasons exist to believe was a trading and mining enterprise in Americas (Ophir=O'Fir and obvious Keltic connection if you have read this book). The 16th century monk Montanus drew maps with two Ophirs in Americas and one was at mouth of Amazon. Then there are white-skinned Easter Island people and Tiki Gods with Red Hair who legend says had mined places in South America.
The forming of metals into knives by Mayans first started with meteorites, and probably this is true allover world. The site of Rhoda near Meteor Crater in Arizona with excellent archaeological proof was ridiculed but should be revisited now that there are many other supposedly anomalous 'finds'. Forget records of Mayans and Incas that talk about white skinned bearded (they don't have facial hair) and red haired people; we don't need to rely on mere legends of truthful people anymore. Certainly we know 'his'-story of Euro-centric white men and Empire builders, is propaganda. So, I say meteorites and their uses and spiritual value led to very early man becoming acquisitive and a traveler, as well as a miner. How early? VERY! Perhaps as long ago as 1.5 million years ago when he noticed meteorite metal on tip of his throwing spear worked better than his straightened mammoth tusk spear.
Proceeding from incentive to trade and travel it required, leads to 'cell diffusion' adepthoods like de Danaan and 'Red-Headed League of Megalith Builders'. There is archaeological evidence for all these things and they all fit with pre-'his'-story of Golden Age of Peace and Harmony that was on Malta and in all nature worship domains such as Gimbutas asserts. The secrets of trade routes and maps not made available until after Templars were back-stabbed by French King in early 1300s makes for a lot of substantial proof and motive. These Portolan maps made trade around Europe easier for all people and put final nail in coffin of feudalism. That does not mean there aren't intrigues and counter-counter plots by those who kept secret for many millenia. The attunements with Earth Energy Grid that archaeology is proving with Nazca lines and Don Robins has shown with megaliths are part of mapping enterprise as well.
The Dardannae or de Danaan of Troy or Wilusia and Hittite archives join interesting little pieces of puzzles but are not overall game of greed and corporate (emporia of Phoenicians) that made Keltic clans break apart from within, as aristocrats began to enjoy each other more than their fellow man. The Druids were last bastion of old shamanic nature worshippers that are at root of Taoism and Yoga. The actual knowledge MacDari speaks to is more important than his historical assertions. This esoteric knowledge was secret and still remains in hands of a few until this day. Some of it is irretrievably lost but little of it is ever considered by academics who talk to media.
