Have you heard about
Glastonbury Thorn tree that is a Palestinian Thorn found only in Palestine? It is said to have originated with arrival of Joseph of Arimathaea in what is now England, with family of Jesus after they spent time in south of France. Joseph stuck it in ground to indicate they too would stick on that ground where he had business dealings for all of his life in tin trade with Cassiterrides or Cornwall. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle knew about this Phoenician conglomerate and its trade. There was an oracle of Sibyl/Dryads teaching who had a following and she was named Almathaea or something of a similar spelling in one of many languages, throughout Mediterranean. Here is a trail (the money trail) that is wisely traveled and makes a lot of common sense full of motive and opportunity. Linguists are now certain that Hebrew is a Phoenician language. The 'arch-tectons' or family of Jesus might have been designers of Pyramids and of Keltic origin. Is this a mystery, a fable or over-indulgent rationale of a person seeking a unique perspective on 'his'-story. You will be judge and hopefully you will check further along trail and see many other authors who are connecting this picture in quite forensic manners and with common sense beyond level of purely mythical and useful Bible Narrative. This re-working of Jesus and his family, or 'source' of his teaching is quite an important part of what our lives and laws still are governed by, we think. Is this Hebrew sacerdotal code that pre-existed hieroglyphics which Flinders-Petrie said was around for thousand(s) of years. That is what Connor MacDari and my Ogham scholar would say, on path back to Ogham.
Clearly last year’s Associated Press report that confirms pre-existing alphabets in Sahara where savannah had agriculture a thousand years before 'hunters and gatherers' of Egypt is worth thinking about. Michael Grant tells us of a pre-existing Canaanite (Phoenician) language. Strabo talks of a history book in Tartessus going back to around 8,000 BC. which ties in with Gimbutas's Old European. The verbal tradition of Kelts in Psaltair na Tara goes back 25,000 years. Manetho wrote of Isis colonizing Egypt in 36,000 BC. and mines recently found there from 35,000 years ago are a good piece of actual hard evidence. Velikovsky's Ramesside 'tiles' and all manner of other clues and possibilities including engineering in Carnac and social structure akin to Mayan in Stonehenge from Euan MacKie or Evan Hadringham. Marshack's 15-35,000 year old Iberian (Kelt or Basque) lunar calendar is a good piece in puzzle, too. Are Jewish people really a homogeneous group? We know that Joseph of Arimathaea was a Benjaminite but most scholars know not where Arimathaea is. That seems a rather convenient oversight when we also know Benjaminites were at war with rest of tribes of Israel as we now turn to Mr. Bradley who has done some excellent sleuthing and dedicated scholarship.
"One Sicambrian King was named Merovee. About 470 A.D. something noteworthy happened during Merovée's rule. The Sicambrian line was somehow enhanced in prestige from this time. The dynasty was called Merovingian afterwards in honour of this King Merovée who also reigned about time of King Arthur's birth {Recent 'digs' show Arthur of Wales was situated in a site on Cadbury Hill near Glastonbury as legends did say. There are other Arthur's in earlier legends too, I believe.}.
And that covers Merovingian origins, on surface.
But these Sicambrian Franks, or Merovingians {History is agreed these 'Franks were Teuton Knights and Kelts from pre-Roman time. There is reason to connect Germanic people back through Hallstatt to Danube.}, were peculiar in several respects. Not least of their peculiarities was that they claimed to be Jewish! They claimed to represent majority of Tribe of Benjamin!
{Remember there are many tongues that confuse 'l' and 'r' and that Phoenicians may have a Mu or Asian component from Egypt according to Churchward and others.}
