Ephesus had a shrine to
Anatolian mother-goddess and Cretan Lady of Wild Things that was later incorporated into Greek worship of Artemis. (33) This magnificent statue has many 'cosmic eggs' on it that are extremely relevant to Berber painting of ostrich eggs that are found in Saharan finds mentioned in Carthage as well as connected to Druid's eggs. A Cambridge scholar I saw on a TV show recently was still calling these eggs 'breasts'. It is ludicrous and almost funny if you look at a picture of statue with over a hundred 'breasts'. What level of academic ineptitude is this? We have seen many who know worldwide importance of cosmic egg including Gimbutas, but then perhaps this scholar knows were his bread is buttered. Smyrna is mentioned by Grant going back long before our present focus and shows Amazons (Kelts as we have shown) were once a part of picture, but this is probably before fall of Ariadne on Crete and goes back to times such as Malta shows had 2800 years before Great Pyramid - with no weapons. Smyrna is site of a great Merovingian family with a name you'll quickly recognize. Onassis, who married into another Merovingian family through Jackie Kennedy. Thus we ask you to remember what old saws do say about history repeating itself. "Smyrna was situated at head of gulf named after it, into which River Hermus debouched. The original town, Old Smyrna, stood on a rocky peninsula (Haci Mutso) beside north-eastern shore of gulf. This settlement existed since Neolithic times, but its founders according to contradictory Greek legends, included non Greek Leleges {Phoenician pirates}, Amazons, and King Tantalus of Phrygia.” (34)
'Non-Greeks' is no surprise in neolithic times because there were no Greeks. There was probably occasional settlements and conflicts over area we now think of as Greece but remember Homer's 'DNN' and what many Greeks know to this day as they call themselves Danaus. We have shown lots of different proof and authority to connect them through Thrace to Danube in periods before what we call Greece or Mycenaean culture.
The Phocaeans present us with acts that mirror Phoenicians of Tyre and Sidon as well, in terms of establishing emporiae or colonial trading posts. They also show us how mobile it was necessary to be after Goddess (egalitarian 'Brotherhood') was brought to her knees. Just as important in our eventual connection with Britain is 'the ships of Tarshis' and Tartessus on Iberian Peninsula where Spain and Portugal claim national privileges today despite all horror they have wrought. It is recorded in many places that Milesians came from Iberia between 1500 BC and 500 BC just as Spanish Armada later dumped a lot of Celtiberians into genetic mix of Scotland and Ireland in more recent times.
Through all of this period from end of Hyksos invasions of Egypt there is growing aristocratic and macho oriented structure apparent within Phoenicians of Mediterranean despite fact Egypt still allowed women to rule as we know from numerous Cleopatras. The kings and supranational corporate entities were adding more power in every century and they were putting in place control of armies as well as priesthoods they always found willing to favour their desires. Yet people and merchant class were wary and we see Carthage through eyes of Aristotle around 345 BC. He was surprised to find they still had an Assembly of People which was actually strong and democracy was thriving there. (35) This political tug of war is still endemic in our society today. Around that time Pseudo-Aristotle writes that Carthage passed a law forbidding anyone (presumably without their approval) from going to America. When Gracchi failed and Republic of Rome failed (the Bruttii who killed Caesar and other good men of Phoenician or Pythagorean and aristocratic genre became adapted to a new structure) a very big nail was driven deep into ethic or even semblance of equality. The establishment of Caesar (later Kaiser and Czar are words from same root) ended even superficial appearance of a majority of citizens having equal say.
"They {Phocaeans} took part in activities of Naucratis in Egypt, where Phocaea was one of twelve Greek cities which shared temple of Apollo {Frazer's 'Golden Bough' documented Plutarch and others knew Apollo and others were representations of Osiris and rituals at his representational graves included burning people with 'Red Hair') known as Hellenium, dating from time of Pharaoh Amasis (c.569- 525) {Right at key point of Battle of Alalia}. By this time, too Phocaeans, in their own native city, had built a temple of Athena, made of fine white porous stone. They also initiated what was to be an abundant and widely circulating electrum coinage (accompanied by issues of silver that were initially smaller), depicting city emblem of a seal, and launching a long and varied series of miniature artistic designs. They were also famous for their dyeing industry.
{The Phocaean coin had BEE emblem that has been found on Cretan digs going back to Royal House of Mallia or Mile and Milesians to third millennium BCE. We showed' 'purple' dye in Mexico and Peru where they had an industry of making this all important spiritual or royal colour. There was a time that modern academics like Nuttall thought this was best evidence of transatlantic cultural exchanges with Phoenicians. Could Phocaeans have been there?}
