CHAPTER I
EARLY HISTORY OF GERMANY
The time has come to reveal the true history of Europe.
The Germans for centuries have dominated the heartland
of Western
Europe. Because of the geographic position Germany's transportation
lines constitute the vital arteries of the continent. Without the
beating of the German heart, Europe would lose its economic and
political prominence in world affairs.
Ancient Roman writers would have us believe that the
Germans in
the Roman heyday were mere barbarians, an insignificant people roaming
the forests of northern Europe. Was this Roman report the whole truth?
Were the ancient Roman writers keeping back from their people the facts
of German history?
Rome conquered Spain, Gaul, Southern Britain, all North
Africa to
the Sahara, Illyria, Greece, Asia to the Euphrates. But Rome had to
draw its boundary in the north along the Rhine. Why? Why was Rome not
able to subdue all Germany? Why, after centuries of bloodshed, did Rome
finally succumb to the hammer blows of the Germanic Goths and Vandals?
It is high time we were told the true history of early Germany.
The origin of the German people in Europe is rooted in
patriarchal
times. The history of early Germany, suppressed by the Romans, was
revived briefly in the German-dominated Middle Ages. But before the
close of the seventeenth century not even the Germans remembered their
past. It had been stamped out in the name of education and religion.
But not all was lost. From early documents and local
traditions it
is still possible to recover what has, in recent centuries, been buried
under the rubble of modern educational superstition. The Germans
themselves are in great part responsible for this condition. They
fostered modern historical concepts. They have tried to hide their past
even from themselves -- just as they did at the close of the Hitler
era. If the Germans admitted to themselves and the world who they
really are, all the world would recognize in Imperial Germany the
reconstituted Assyrian Empire -- once the terror of all the civilized
world!
ANTIQUITY OF THE GERMAN REICH
Germany has set herself up as the bulwark of European
civilization. Germany for centuries has claimed to stand as the wall of
defense against the barbarism of Asia.
The German Reich long endured as the oldest political
institution
in Continental Europe. The German people called their Reich the Holy
Roman Empire. It bore rule over Europe for a thousand years. This "Holy
Roman Empire of the German People" was officially designated by the
Church in the Middle Ages as "The Kingdom of God" on earth. Its
citizens, the Germans, felt themselves true Romans and bearers of the
Christian Reich or kingdom. They were therefore the chosen people of
the Christian era, entrusted with a world-mission to be the protectors
of Christianity.
German leaders and philosophers have never forgotten
this notion
of the Middle Ages that the German, in place of the Jew, has a special
mission from God.
This strange concept, which lies behind modern
political thinking
in Germany, is plainly stated in the German work "Die Trag”die des
Heiligen Reiches" -- in English, "The Tragedy of the Holy Roman
Empire." It is by Friedrich Heer. It is a remarkable volume. It lays
bare the reason for the secret motives of the German to dominate Europe
-- and the world.
GERMANS SHAPE WORLD AFFAIRS
The story of the ancestry of the German people, and
their role in
prophecy, is one of the strangest stories ever written. It is gripping
with interest, amazing -- yes, astounding!
"The History of Germany," writes Bayard Taylor, "is not
the
history of a nation, but of a race ... Thus, even before the fall of
the Roman Empire, it becomes the main trunk out of which branch
histories of nearly all European nations, and ... the connecting link
between ancient and modern history. The records of no other race throw
so much light upon the development of all civilized lands during a
period of fifteen hundred years" ("History of Germany", page iii).
Germany has contributed more military leaders than any
other
nation in history. Its governments have, in the past, claimed the right
to rule the "Christian world." The German State, from its beginning,
has nearly always been a confederation of states -- often an empire of
German ruling over non-German. It is the German people who, more than
once, have believed themselves to be the "Herrenvolk" -- the Master
Race.
The German people number over one hundred million
throughout the
world today. They are composed of numerous small tribes. Nations,
remember, are families grown big. Take Israel as an example. The nation
Israel descended from one man, Jacob (who was renamed Israel upon his
conversion -- Genesis 35:9-10). But Israel had 12 sons. His family
therefore was divided into 12 tribes. One reads in the Bible about "the
12 tribes of Israel" -- Judah, Dan, Ephraim, Levi, etc. (Genesis
49:28).
The same is true of the German people. of all these
tribes,
perhaps the most famous name to Americans is that of the Hessians. The
British hired numerous Hessians in their effort to put down the
American Revolution which began in 1776. The Hessians were known to
Roman historians by the tribal name "Hatti." Other Germans bore the
names "Alemani" "Suabi," and "Quadi," the "Casuri." The Romans called
them collectively Germani, meaning "War-men" (from the "Encyclopedia
Britannica", article, "Germany").
But from where did all these Germanic people come?
Here is the answer of history: "There can be no doubt
that they
Black and Caspian seas," states "Smith's Classical Dictionary",
article, "Germania," p. 361. Ancient historical records confirm this
admission.
The Germans can be traced in historical records to the
regions
surrounding the Black and Caspian seas, which border on the ancient
Biblical Mesopotamia. This is the region where civilization commenced
and from where the patriarchs came!
THE ANSWER FOUND
Ancient German tradition claims that their oldest city,
Trier, was
founded by Trever or Trebeta, a son of Ninus, king of Assyria.
"The inhabitants of Trier maintain that their city is
the oldest
in all Europe," writes Josef K. L. Bihl in his textbook "In deutschen
Landen", page 69. "Trier was founded," he continues, "by Trebeta, a son
of the famous Assyrian King Ninus. In fact, one finds ... in Trier the
inscription reading, 'Trier existed for 1300 years before Rome was
rebuilt.' "
Ninus, according to Roman, Greek and Persian records,
was the
first ruler who began the systematic conquest of the ancient world
after the death of Nimrod. He established the Assyrian Empire as the
chief power over Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia, reported Diodorus
of Sicily in his History.
But how is it possible that the oldest German city,
Trier, founded
over 2000 years before the birth of Christ, should be built by a son of
Ninus, the renowned King of ancient Assyria? What connection have the
Germans with Assyria?
Jerome, who lived at the time when the Indo-Germanic
tribes were
invading Europe, provides this startling answer: "For 'Assur (the
Assyrian) also is joined with them' " (Letter 123, sec. 16, "Nicene and
Post-Nicene Fathers"; quote is from Psalm 83:8).
DID THE ASSYRIANS INVADE EUROPE?
Yes! Jerome said so! But how did he know?
He saw them! He was an eyewitness to their migrations
from
Mesopotamia and the shores of the Black and Caspian seas!
Now consider what Sylax, the author of the "Periplus,"
who lived
about 550 B.C., writes of the southern shores of the Black Sea: "The
coast of the Black Sea ... is called Assyria" (from page 261 of Perrot
and Chipiez's "History of Art in Sardinia, Judaea, Syria and Asia
Minor", Vol. II.) From there the Assyrians moved north.
Only 300 years before Jerome, the Roman naturalist
Pliny the Elder
declared the "Assyriani" -- the Assyrians -- were dwelling north of the
Black Sea ("Natural History", IV, 12, page 183). But the Assyrians did
not remain there. They are not there today. of course not -- they
migrated into Central Europe -- where the Germans live today!
WHAT DID ASSYRIANS LOOK LIKE?
What did the ancient Assyrians look like? Here is the
answer: "In
the Zagros hills and across the plain to the Tigris, there lived a ...
fair-haired ... people akin to the Guti (the Goths) who ... remained in
what was afterwards Assyria, the neighbour land to Akkad" (page 5 of
"The Sumerians", by C. Leonard Woolley).
When the ancient Greek writers wanted to distinguish
the Assyrians
and their Hebrew captives from the Arameans or Syrians, the Greeks
often called both Assyrians and their Hebrew captives "Leucosyri" --
meaning "whites" or "blonds" as distinct from the very brunette Syrians
who still live in Mesopotamia.
WHY GERMANS CALL THEMSELVES "DEUTSCH"
The Germans do not call themselves "German." They refer
to
themselves as Deutschen, and to their country as Deutschland.
When the Assyrians or Germans appeared in Europe, they
claimed
Tuitsch as their ancestor! That is where the name "Deutsch" comes from!
"Tuysco, the most ancient and peculiar god of all the
Germans ...
of this Tuisco, the first and chiefest man of many among the Germans,
and after whom they do call themselves Tuytshen, that is, duytshes or
duytsh people, I have already spoken." So writes Verstegan in his 1605
publication entitled "Restitution of Decayed Intelligence: in
Antiquities".
Whenever a German calls himself Deutsch, he is
therefore saying he
is a descendant of Tuitsch (Tuisco or Tuisto in Latin). And when he
terms his country Deutschland, he is saying his land is Tuitsch's land.
Who this Tuitsch is will be made plain in Chapter II.
WHAT LANGUAGE DID THEY SPEAK
European scholars have thoroughly studied the language
of the land
of Hatti -- the ancestors of the Hessians. It is an Indo-Germanic
tongue -- numerous words of which were akin to Old High German. So many
similarities were found that Edgar Sturtevant had to declare: "To me it
seems incredible that so remarkable a situation developed in two
languages independently. I feel compelled to trace the Germanic ... to
a common origin" with the language of Hatti -- common tongue of the
Assyrians in Asia Minor (from "A Comparative Grammar", page 240).
Scholars admit that for centuries the language of the
people who
inhabited Assyria was not merely Semitic. Semitic was the late literary
language of Assyria -- the language of scholars, the language of
international commerce. Modern historians and archaeologists assume
that the common tongue of all Assyrian people was Semitic. They have no
proof. So noted an Assyriologist as Sydney Smith admitted "... that the
documents from Asia Minor and from east of Tigris are couched in
Semitic dialects spoken by men unable to pronounce all the Semitic
consonants ..." (p. xi, from "Early History of Assyria to 1000 B.C.").
The same circumstance occurred during the Middle Ages
all over
Europe. The language of almost all European scholars -- and even their
names -- until the time of the Protestant Reformation was Latin -- but
Latin was not the common tongue of the people! Because most of the
literature of Germany was in Latin during the Middle Ages does not
prove that the common people spoke Latin.
SEMITIC BY RACE, NOT LANGUAGE
Asshur was a son of Shem. But after the tower of Babel,
when the
languages of the world were confused (Genesis 11), most Assyrians no
longer spoke a Semitic tongue, but rather Indo-Germanic and related
tongues! The Germans, therefore, are Semitic by race, but not by
language!
In the days of Abraham, the Germans or Assyrians formed
a great
confederation of states or tribes, speaking several different languages
(Josephus' "Antiquities of the Jews", book I, ch. 9). One king of the
Assyrians -- already discussed -- was "Tidal, king of nations" (Genesis
14:1). The name Tidal is Indo-Germanic, not Semitic.
Most scholars have never been conscious of the fact
that the use
of the Semitic language in Assyria was due to the rising influence of
the Aramaic people (Genesis 10:22) in Mesopotamia and certain of the
sons of Abraham ("Antiquities", book I, ch. XV, sect. 1). So prominent
did they become that Mesopotamia is called "Padan-Aram" -- the plain of
Aram -- in the Bible (Genesis 28:22).
CHAPTER II
THE ANCIENT KINGS OF THE GERMANS
The settlement of the Assyrians and related peoples in
early
Europe is summarized by several writers in the early Middle Ages. The
list of the early kings presented here is from the "Bayerische Chronik"
and "Deutsche Chronik" by Johannes Turmair, Abensberg, 1526.
The traditional events assigned to each ancient German
ruler are
confirmed by both archaeological evidence and the fragmentary comments
of classical historians.
The "Bayerische Chronik" is very important for the
history of
Central Europe. It proves that German history was correctly preserved
in song and poetry and in contemporary written records down to Roman
times. It further proves that the length of time from the Flood to
Roman times was accurately preserved except for an overlooked 24 years.
This period was the 24 years from Abram's year 75 to his year 99. The
later chroniclers, who placed in parallel German and Hebrew history,
universally reckoned the 430 years from the Covenant that was confirmed
with Abraham to Sinai as beginning when Abram was 75 years old, instead
of 99. They therefore placed the Flood 24 years too late in history.
The German chronicles that were the basis of Turmair's
work placed
the Flood 131 years before the coming of the German patriarch Tuisto
into Europe. They should have reckoned 131 plus 24 -- that is, 155
years. With this one exception, all dates from Tuisto down to the
burning of Rome in 390 B.C. need no correction. All that is necessary
is to add the separate lengths of reign. There are no missing lengths
of reign.
German history commences with an extensive settlement
of farmers
in Europe from the Don River to the Rhine. The date of this migration
into Europe from Mesopotamia and the Near East is placed at 2214 B.C.
by German history -- just 155 years after the Flood and 40 years after
the Tower of Babel.
BEGINNING OF GERMAN OR ASSYRIAN HISTORY
The real beginnings of Assyrian history were not
presented in
Volume I. They are restored here. One account begins with the reign of
Nimrod in 2194 -- after the 60-year reign of Cush. Cush was the first
Belus -- the word means "lord" -- who bore rule after the Flood.

THE EARLY SETTLERS OF EUROPE
The "Bavarian Chronicle" records in detail the earliest
settlers
of Europe after the Deluge. Their encampments and habitations have been
recovered by archaeological research and are labeled the "Neolithic"
migrations that traversed the Danube and adjoining valleys.
Shem or Tuitsch came into Europe with members of his
family, as
well as with certain of the sons of Japheth and two of the sons of Ham
who were of the white stock. From these have descended most of the
present-day nations of Europe. The descendants of Shem include many
sons of Joktan, son of Heber, and a number of the sons of Mash, son of
Aram. The Biblical names (Genesis 10) of the grandsons and
great-grandsons of Shem are clearly preserved in most instances by the
"Chronicle". In the following chart, together with the names of the
patriarchal settlers, appear either the areas settled, the tribes which
sprang from them, or their Biblical names. An historical or classical
map should be consulted for location of geographic names. In later
times the descendants of these early heroes migrated west, south, north
and east under population pressure.

KINGS OF ANCIENT GERMANY
Early Kings of German Lengths of
Reign Dates
1. Tuitsch or Tuisto
176
2214-2038
(236) (2214-1978)
Chief of thirty-two dukes. Noah gave him all the land
between the
Don River and the Rhine or what was called Grossgermania. This is the
beginning of the "neolithic" settlement of Europe. Tuitsch is,
according to all ancient German commentaries and chronicles, a son of
Noah. But which son? Noah adopted Tuitsch's children as his own. The
ancient Germans understood the name Tuitsch to be the title "Teacher."
He was therefore the great patriarch of his family who taught the
divine will to his children.
Tuitsch is the father of Mannus (who is the Assyrian
Ninus). The
son of Mannus, Trebeta, is the same man who is called the son of Ninus
in classical writers. The son of Mannus or Ninus -- Trebeta -- built
Trier, the first town of Germany. Since the Bible calls this Ninus (who
built Nineveh), Asshur, Tuitsch is therefore Shem!
Tuitsch (Shem) left Europe for Egypt in 2038. His
appearance in
Egyptian chronological records of Dynasty I dates his arrival and
government in 2037. From Armenia Tuitsch left 155 years after the Flood
(131 plus 24) -- see the comments at the beginning of this chapter.
With him were twenty-two descendants plus eight from Japheth and two
from Ham. Tuitsch made his headquarters at Deutz (today Koeln-Deutz).
The country is called Deutschland after him -- that is, the land of the
great Patriarch or Teacher, Shem. In the 25th year of his reign
(2190-2189) Tuitsch held a state assembly, divided lands among his
descendants and ordained laws. He also brought more colonies from
Mesopotamia.
2. Mannus or Mann
72
1978-1906
(66) (1978-1912)
For the last 60 years of Tuitsch's or Shem's reign in
Germany, he
governed his family from Egypt and Italy. It was not until 1978 that
Mannus assumed the government over Western Europe, succeeding his
father Tuitsch. At the beginning of his reign he sends out colonies to
France and Asia Minor. His son Herman establishes the kingdoms of
Phrygia, Mysia and Bithynia in Mannus' 34th year (1945-1944). Another
son Trieber or Trebeta, built Trier. Nerus, another son, settled in the
Netherlands. This Mannus is the Assyrian Ninus and is Asshur, son of
Shem. Asshur means "strength" in Hebrew and has the same sense as
Mannus -- masculinity -- in German.
3. Eingeb or Ingaevon
36
1906-1870
(40) (1912-1872)
This son of Mannus or Ninus -- Asshur -- was the German
Mercury.
His wife Freia was the German Venus. He instituted the observance of
Weinnachten of December 24. Eingeb is responsible for settling Germans
on the North Sea from Denmark to Dunkirk. He sent his general Brigus
from the Danube valley to secure Spain against the African Amazons
(female warriors). Myrein, queen of the African Amazons advanced up the
Danube but was defeated and slain by Eingeb's generals Seiphyl and
Mopser.
4. Ausstaeb or Istaevon
50
1870-1820
(52) (1872-1820)
Son of Eingeb, Ausstaeb was the German Mars. From him
are
descended the Rheinlanders. In his days a great drought devastated
Italy.
5. Herman
63
1820-1757
Son of Ausstaeb. He taught the philosophy that war and
to die in
battle is most pleasing to God. He introduced the arts of warmaking to
the Germans. The Druids began to flourish in Germany. Herman settled
the heart of Germany, whose people were called Hermanduri or Hermiones
after him.
6. Mers
46
1757-1711
Son of Herman. The city of Merseburg is named after
him. The
Dithmarsii descended from him. Oryz, the Egyptian god-king Osiris, came
with his wife Eisen up the Danube valley to Mers. They left Germany and
went to Italy on their way back to Egypt. Cultural development of
Germany through contact with Egypt in days of Joseph -- beer making,
agriculture, forging and medicine were brought to Germany.
7. Gampar
44
1711-1667
Son of Mers. He was the inventor of beer brewing. His
daughter
Araxa became one of the wives of Libys (the Egyptian and Spanish
Hercules), the son of Oryz, and gave birth to Tuscus, Schyth,
Agatyrsus, Peucinger and Gutho.
8. Schwab
46
1667-1621
Son of Gampar. He gave his name to Schwaben. In his
reign Eisen
came to Germany and taught the people various crafts.
9. Wandler
41
1621-1580
Son of Schwab. Ancestor of the German Wenden or
Vandals, who were
first known at the Weser, next in the countries north of the Elbe;
afterwards, a colony went into Spain, then into Africa where they
restored the Roman Empire; their kingdom was demolished by General
Belisarius. The cities of Luebeck, Rostoch, Dantzig, and others are the
relics of those first Vandals who did not migrate to North Africa.
These German Vandals are different from the Wends called Slavi,
Slavonians, Poles, Bohemians who settled in the ancient lands of the
Vandals.
10. Deuto
27
1580-1553
Son of Wandler, gave his name to the Teutones. He led a
campaign
into France and built there the cities of Vannes, Sens, Santgenge and
Toulouse. He was deified as the German Mercury, as Eingeb had
previously been.
11. Alman (Allmann or Altman) 64
1553-1489
Son of Deuto, was the German Hercules. Famous for use
of trained
lions in war. Bore a lion in his shield. Bavarians, who descended from
him, still use a lion on their coat of arms. He had many sons. Norein
received Noricum (in Bavaria today). Norein was the father of part of
the Bavarians. Haun was the father of the German Huns and lived with
his brothers Glan and Schyter. Helvos was the father of the Helvetti in
Switzerland. Baier ruled Bavaria. Mied and Math were the ancestors of
the Mediomatrices in Alsace. Theur went to foreign lands.
12. Baier
60
1489-1429
Son of Alman. He sent a great army of Germans and Wends
from
Germany, Denmark and Gothland to the Balkans. One group, the Goths
under Gebreich and Vilmer, settled on the river Theissa and lived there
as the Getae till the time of Valentinian. Another group, including the
German Amazons, proceeded down the Danube valley to the Black Sea and
on through the Crimea and the Palus Maeotis to Armenia and Cappadocia
and the Taurus mountains. Here they were known as the Cimmerians. Baier
was also known as Bojus of Bavaria since he was the ancestor of many
Bavari. He built Prague.
13. Ingram or Ingramus
52
1429-1377
Son of Baier. He sent many German colonists to Asia
Minor.
Tanhauser, king of the Germans in Asia Minor, and his priestess
Schmirein, led a conquering army through Syria as far as Egypt. Built
Hermenia, afterwards called Reginoberg (Ratisbon).
14. Adalger or Adelger
49
1377-1328
Son of Ingram. German Amazons were again famous in his
time under
Queens Lautpotis and Martpeis. They crossed through Asia Minor to
Lycia, but were defeated.
15. Larein
51
1328-1277
Son of Adalger. This is the Laertes of Trojan fame,
mentioned by
the Roman historian Tacitus. During his rule an army set out from
Germany and went via Poland and Ruthenia to the Danube valley. Here it
was joined by Germans who had come to the area some 150 years earlier,
and the combined forces fell into Asia Minor under their leader Mader
and their queen Aloph. They passed through Phrygia and settled in
Armenia.
16. Ylsing or Ulsing
53
1277-1224
Son of Larein. This is the Trojan Ulysses of Tacitus.
He is also
the Greek Odysseus who sailed out to the Atlantic and up to the Rhine.
Built Emmerick on the Main. During his reign the Germans under Galter
again invaded Asia Minor and settled on the banks of the river

Brenner was the son of Mader. He was an "Engl„nder" and
king of
the Schwaben. His wife was Th„m„rin (Tomyris), queen of the Getae,
Dacians and Scythians. Brenner sent her troops to help in the war
against Cyrus. He also defeated Darius who tried to invade the lower
Danube region. Together Brenner and Th„m„rin conquered much of Asia
Minor as far as Armenia. His nephew K”nman, son of Sigweis, was king of
the Bavarians. Brenner expelled K”nman and 300,000 Bavarians from
Bohemia and resettled that region with Schwaben, who then became known
as Markmannen. Some of the expelled Bavarians settled in Bavaria
proper, but by far the largest number of them crossed the Alps into
Italy, from where they drove out some of the Etruscans. After the death
of K”nman, the Bavarians of Italy were ruled by the kings Zeck, Ber
(who built Bern or Verona) and Breitmar.

sons Breitmar, Ernvest and Wirdm„r ruled over the Bavarians in Italy.
His wife, Teutscha, was queen of Istria. The Romans defeated the
Bavarians in Italy, killing Wirdm„r and 40,000 of his men.
33. Dieth I
no length given 194-172
Son of Thessel, ruled jointly with his son Diethmer.
Diethmer
invaded Palestine on behalf of Antiochus IV, took many Jews captive and
settled them in Germany near Regensburg. Soon afterwards Hannibal
attacked Italy and many of the Bavarians from Northern Italy joined him
against Rome. After Hannibal's defeat there followed a war between the
Romans and Bavarians in northern Italy which lasted 12 years. Finally,
weary of fighting, the Bavarians left Italy, where they had dwelt for
almost 400 years, and settled in Pannonia. Dieth was also driven from
Italy, whereupon Diethmer, in retaliation, persuaded Philip V of
Macedon to renew his hostilities with Rome. Entz and Olor, German kings
in Istria and Transylvania, aided Philip, but Rome won. In Asia Minor
Rome launched an attack against the German kings Orthjag, Gompelmer,
G„udhor, Orgsgund and Eposgnad. These retreated eastward over the
Halys, where they were defeated, sued for peace, and swore never to
raid foreign nations again. The Romans also defeated king Entz of
Istria.
34. Baermund and Synpol
45
172-127
Ruled after the death of Dieth I and Diethmer.
35. Boiger, Kels and
27
127-100
Teutenbuecher
They ruled jointly over the Germans and Bavarians in
127 B.C. They
gathered an army of 300,000 Saxons and Bavarians, intending to invade
and resettle Italy, from which they had been driven some 70 years
earlier. They were, however, defeated by Marius at Aquae Sextiae (102
B.C.) and Vercellae (101 B.C.). Boiger died, having reigned 27 years.
36. Scheirer
30
100-70
Mithridates tried to enlist his aid in the struggles
against Rome.
37. Ernst (Arionistus) and Vocho 20
70-50
Ernst was king over Germany and France, his
brother-in-law, Vocho,
over Bavaria, Austria and Hungary. Ernst invaded France, fought there
for 14 years, and settled it with 120,000 Germans. Next 33,000
Bavarians decided to go via France and Spain into Italy. They were
joined by the Helvetti. Julius Caesar defeated them, sent the Helvetii
back home, but allowed the Bavarians to settle in Burgundy. Caesar also
defeated king Ernst.
38. Pernpeist
10
50-40
He made a treaty with Persia against the Romans, made
raids into
Greece and even attacked Apulia and Naples by sea. The Bavarians,
having been driven from Italy, lived near the Drave and Danube for 127
years. In the times of Ernst and Pernpeist they left their homes,
sailed down the Danube and settled near the Vistula, Dniester and
Dnieper, where they remained some 550 years. The name of the Bavarians
is not encountered again for some 500 years, till the time of Attila.
39. Cotz, Dieth II and
circa 40-13
Creitschir
In 13 B.C. Augustus made an attack against the Germans
on the
Danube. Later he settled 40,000 Westphalians, Hessians and Schwaben on
the west bank of the Rhine.
Virtual anarchy now began to reign among the German
tribes. There
were anti-Roman and pro-Roman factions and these split whole tribes and
even families. The ruling families soon killed each other off in family
feuds and inter-tribal warfare.
The royal house that next dominated Germany came from
the
Sicambrian Franks. Their history appears later in the "Compendium",
chapter XII A.
CHAPTER III
ABRAHAM IN EARLY EUROPEAN HISTORY
For centuries students have been taught that Europe was
one of
late areas of the world to become civilized. Educational tradition
would have us believe that Egyptians were erecting mighty temples of
stone, had wide astronomical knowledge, knew how to write, thousands of
years before Western Europe came to the threshold of civilization.
While Egyptians and Babylonians were arrayed in
gorgeous robes and
painted with cosmetics, historians would have Europe's forests sparcely
populated with naked white savages. Europe's dominant place in world
affairs is, we are told, a relatively new phenomenon.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
EUROPE'S EARLY HISTORY SUPPRESSED
European civilization -- and its history -- is as old
as Egypt's.
But it has been suppressed. Not since the close of the seventeenth
century has it been allowed to be taught publicly.
It did not happen in a day. It took centuries of
calculated
plotting and ridicule to wipe from the pages of history the record of
early Europe. Historians and theologians have conspired together to
label Europe's early history as "myth."
Their motive is plain. If theologians and historians
had allowed
the early history of Europe to be taught in schools and universities,
they would have had to admit the authenticity and the authority of the
Bible. THAT they did not want to do.
Had they not expunged the early events of Europe every
one today
would be reading of the journeys of Noah, Shem, Heber, Asshur and many
other Biblical heroes into Europe. Children would be reading in schools
today of the early settlement of Assyrians and Chaldeans in Western
Europe. They would know where the "Ten Lost Tribes" of the House of
Israel migrated.
All this has been purposely hidden. But it has not all
been lost.
Scattered through the writings of scholars of the fifteenth, sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries are fragmentary records which unveil what
really happened in Europe. In museums and libraries, in state archives
are still to be found documents of hoary antiquity corroborating the
Biblical record.
This chapter contains the account of one of those
documents. It is
a history of the Danubian Valley -- the area of Austria, Hungary,
Bohemia, Bavaria and neighboring regions. The document is the
"Oesterreichische Chronik" -- the Austrian Chronicle. It has never
before been rendered into modern English. A number of copies of the
Chronicle are scattered throughout Europe. The last entry in the
Chronicle is of the year 1404.
ABRAHAM IN THE AUSTRIAN CHRONICLE
The Austrian Chronicle begins its consecutive history
with a man
of princely birth -- none other than the patriarch Abraham! But what
has Abraham to do with the history of the Danubian Valley in Europe?
Very much.
The most ancient Greek name for the Danube River was
the River
Noe. Noe is the Greek form of the Hebrew Noah.
Noah was the patriarch of the whole human family
following the
flood. His patriarchal authority passed on to Shem, who superseded his
older brother Japheth. In each succeeding generation the hereditary
right of the firstborn was passed on from father to son. Terah was
eighth in descent from Shem (Genesis 11:10-26), and the heir to Noah
and Shem. Terah had, according to the Biblical record, three sons. The
oldest, Haran, was born when Terah was 70 years old (Gen. 11:26). He
died before his father Terah did (Gen 11:28). "And Haran died in the
presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the
Chaldees." Why Haran died young will be made plain shortly from the
Austrian Chronicle.
Replacing Haran as heir was Terah's second son, Abram
(whose name
was later changed to Abraham).
In the year 1941 God called Abraham to forsake his
kindred, his
country -- everything. "Now the Lord said unto Abram: 'Get thee out of
thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto
the land that I will show thee. And I will bless thee, and make thy
name great ...'" (Gen. 12:1-2).
Abram had to give up his hereditary privileges. Though
he was a
"mighty prince" (Gen. 23:6), he willingly forsook his inherited rights.
"So Abram went, "declares verse 4.
Now consider the Austrian Chronicle. It begins with the
birth of
Abram (he is called Abraham throughout the Chronicle) under the
Assyrian Count Sattan of Aligem (sect 41). (Several of the earliest
geographic names in the Chronicle are otherwise unknown from
contemporary records.) Abram "took to wife Susanna from the land of
Samam, the daughter of Terromant and his wife Sanyet."
Of this union we read in Scripture: "And Abraham gave
all that he
had unto Isaac. But unto the sons of the concubines, that Abraham had,
Abraham gave gifts, and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he
yet lived, eastward, unto the east country" -- Assyria (Gen. 25:5-6).
From the Austrian Chronicle we learn that "Abraham and
Susanna had
a son Achaim." Then "Abraham of Temonaria and Count Sattan of
Aligemorum had war with each other, till Abraham was driven from the
land in poverty." It was in this war that Haran, Abram's older brother,
was slain. Abram was driven out of Count Sattan's realm and fled to the
Danube River Valley in 1945, according to the Chronicle. There he built
a home and settled until the death of Count Sattan.
It was now 1942 -- three years after Abram fled. Abram,
according
to the Chronicle, took Achaim and Susanna and went to the land of
Judeisapta -- "the Jews' land" -- Palestine, according to the Bible.
(The later scribes who copied the Austrian Chronicle assumed it was the
Danube Valley because Jews were later settled there also.) From
Palestine Abraham sent away eastward to Assyria Susanna and Achaim (in
Isaac's second year). From there they journeyed to the Danubian
settlement Abram made years before. The previous chapter revealed that
the Danubian Valley was then under Assyrian hegemony.
The following sequence of landgraves and dukes is taken
from the
standard text of the "Oesterreichische Chronik" -- the Austrian
Chronicle. Variations in spelling are at times included. The lengths of
reign and dates are in every case those of the Chronicle, which
correctly preserves the chronology beginning three years before the
call of Abram.
