Perhaps this is explainable by women carrying blood after men were killed but it was Maccabean princess that Herod married, day before he had her and her brother killed. Personally I'd like it if everyone admitted we all are Earthians and dropped all this race and ethnic origin stuff. The noble lineage that passed throw blood of women has made women of Dragon blood a political chattel of worst sort. But because history is a power game and propaganda has to be pierced we are forced into these circuitous battles over who thought who was best and/or 'chosen ones' versus 'devoted ones'. That phrase is truly amazing. Devoted ones (according to Cahill in 'Gifts of Jews') means those to be sacrificed in Temple; I had suffered under illusion it meant those who had shown great reverence for great god Jehovah. Linguistics also shows how 'Aryan' is derived from 'Eire-yann' or people of Eire and Ireland. Thus Hitler would be killing his 'high Aryan priesthood' unless he freed Benjaminites and 'arch-tectons' of House of Judah or Merovingian family of Jesus. It is a grotesque irony to be certain! Yes, politics in Bible is well evidenced; and dogma is inspired by some very bad people NOT by God; or even by someone as good as heretical Cathars and Gnostics who actually lived according to what they said they believed.

"If Joseph of Arimathaea arrived in Glastonbury with Mary Magdalene/Bethany and was her companion and guardian, then he would be a guardian of Holy Grail. The Grail Romances of troubadors mysteriously connect Joseph of Arimathaea with Grail lineage...

Medieval tradition portrays Joseph of Arimathaea as a custodian of Holy Grail; and Perceval is said to be one of his lineage. According to other later traditions, he is in some way related by blood to Jesus and Jesus's family. (8)

Who was Joseph of Arimathaea?

Do we not, now, have enough information to make a plausible guess? In Gospels he is described as a rich man who was a secret disciple of Jesus. He supplied shroud in which body of Jesus was wrapped. 'It was Joseph of Arimathaea who obtained body of Jesus from Pontius Pilate. And he owned land with tomb in which Jesus was buried.'

The ownership of a private tomb indicates great wealth, fact that he could obtain body of Jesus from Pilate indicates not only great influence, but something else. Joseph of Arimathaea must have been a relative of Jesus in order to have claimed body from Roman authorities.

Then, there is matter of tomb. Was Jesus put into same tomb, and resurrected from same tomb, as one in which Lazarus was buried and raised? It 'seems' so from Gospels because this is only tomb mentioned during final days before Crucifixion and after it. This tomb was a cave whose entrance could be closed by a stone rolled in front of it. Lazarus was laid in it (John 11:38). Jesus was laid in it. At least, description of this cave-tomb are same for both Jesus and Lazarus.

If this deduction is correct, then cave-tomb was property of Joseph of Arimathaea, and this cave-tomb was on property at Bethany, at house of Martha, Lazarus and Mary. The same house where Jesus and his entourage had been offered extended hospitality. Joseph of Arimathaea must have been owner of this house in Bethany with its cave-tomb. He must have been father of Martha, Lazarus and Mary. He must also have been father-in-law of Jesus. Historical records tell us he became Roman Empire's Minister of Mines.

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!
