This book is extremely important and reveals our real history

So I grabbed it and got about 30 pages deep. If you have read it all, please present the key highlights. It's filled with so much gobbledygook that relates to the daily lives of German towns and rulers that it's hard to pick out nuggets when it's so uneventful after the initial Atlantis reference.

Interesting, thank you

Such important topic as our history would NOT be available in any truthful manner to mainstream general public. My rue is, that I have zero trust in ANY written material that can be obtained by ppl like you and me. Everything, including all info has been veponised....so be careful what you believe.

Books are for idiots

And one wonders why the human race is fucked...

MAGA you fucking shill

Cewl,did the clay started to form memory afterwards ?

And the pleiades are far away from the milkyway its heart,boy weird stuff.

I’d read March Of The Titans Arthur Kemp or listen to audio of it on Bitchite.
It has a lot on Oera Linda in it.

Thank you OP. I'm always interested in a good book, especially if it gives a glimpse of history that may be the truth.

Another idiot who pretends to reed books.

lol MAGA my ass... You're a fucking commie Bot.

The book is a continual account of their civilization the first authorship is dated to 2194 BC, and the last addition being 1256 AD (Which is 3449 years after Atland sunk according to the author) So you get a nice chronology of events over several thousand years. Many of the things spoke of were only recently dated in modern history so its pretty interesting. It tells their creation story, their migration, their warring, their society, their religion, their laws, their customs, other societys, the "cataclysm" that sunk Atlantis a whole chapter on it. It has an account of Alexander the Great which is not known in any other historical books which is pretty epic.

A few quotes from it I found pleasing these are some of their laws:

"If any man becomes poor because he will not work, he must be sent out of the country, because the cowardly and lazy are troublesome and ill-disposed, therefore they ought to be got rid of."

"There shall be no usurers in the market"

"If any man shall deprive another, even his debtor, of his liberty, let him be to you as a vile slave ; and I advise you to burn his body and that of his mother in an open place, and bury them fifty feet below the ground, so that no grass shall grow upon them."

their creation story, some parts of it:

"This is our earliest history.
Wr-alda, who alone is eternal and good, made the begin- ning. Then commenced time. Time wrought all things, even the earth. The earth bore grass, herbs, and trees, all useful and all noxious animals. All that is good and useful she brought forth by day, and all that is bad and injurious by night.
After the twelfth Juulfeest she brought forth three maidens : —
Lyda out of fierce heat.
Finda out of strong heat.
Frya out of moderate heat.
When the last came into existence, Wr-alda breathed his spirit upon her in order that men might be bound to him. As soon as they were full grown they took pleasure and delight in the visions of Wr-alda.
Hatred found its way among them.
They each bore twelve sons and twelve daughters- — at every Juul-time a couple. Thence come all mankind."

"Lyda was black, with hair curled like a lamb’s ; her eyes shone like stars, and shot out glances like those of a bird of prey."

"Finda was yellow, and her hair was like the mane of a horse. She could not bend a tree, but where Lyda killed one lion she killed ten."

"Frya was white like the snow at sunrise, and the blue of her eyes vied with the rainbow."

Some random historical references:

"In early times almost all the Finns lived together in their native land, which was called Aldland, and is now submerged. They were thus far away, and we had no wars. When they were driven hitherwards, and appeared as rob- bers, then arose the necessity of defending ourselves, and we had armies, kings, and wars.
For all this there were established regulations, and out of the regulations came fixed laws."

"Minno was an ancient sea-king. He was a seer and a philosopher, and he gave laws to the Cretans. He was born at Lindaoord, and after all his wanderings he had the happiness to die at Lindahem."

"We understand that very well, said the priests; but tell us what means the owl that always sits upon your head, is that light-shunning animal a sign of your clear vision ? No, answered Hellenia; he reminds me that there are people on earth who, like him, have their homes in churches and holes, who go about in the twilight, not, like him, to deliver us from mice and other plagues, but to in- vent tricks to steal away the knowledge of other people, in order to take advantage of them, to make slaves of them, and to suck their blood like leeches."

"Where, then, does evil come from? asked the priests. All the evil comes from you, and from the stupidity of the people who let themselves be deceived by you."

"If, then, your god is so exceedingly good, why does he not turn away the bad? asked the priests. Hel- lenia answered : Frya has placed us here, and the car- rier, that is, Time, must do the rest. For all calamities there is counsel and remedy to be found, but Wr-alda wills that we should search it out ourselves, in order that we may become strong and wise. If we will not do that, he leaves us to our own devices, in order that we may experience the results of wise or foolish conduct. Then a prince said, I should think it best to submit. Very possibly, answered Hellenia ; for then men would be like sheep, and you and the priests would take care of them, shearing them and leading them to the shambles. This is what our god does not desire, he de- sires that we should help one another, but that all should be free and wise. That is also our desire, and therefore our people choose their princes, counts, councillors, chiefs, and masters among the wisest of the good men, in order that every man shall do his best to be wise and good."

"Before the bad time came our country was the most beautiful in the world. The sun rose higher, and there was Seldom frost. The trees and shrubs produced various fruits, which are now lost. In the fields we had not only rbarley,. oats, and rye, but wheat which shone like gold, and which could be baked in the sun’s rays. The years Vere not counted, for one was as happy as another"

"The Angelaren were men who fished in the sea, and were so named because they used lines and , hooks instead of nets."

The "event" that sunk Atlantis:

"During the whole summer the sun had been hid behind the clouds, as if unwilling to look upon the earth. There was perpetual calm, and the damp mist hung like a wet sail over the houses and the marshes. The air was heavy and oppressive, and in men’s hearts was neither joy nor cheerfulness. In the midst of this stillness the earth began to tremble as if she was dying. The mountains opened to vomit forth fire and flames. Some sank into the bosom of the earth, and in other places mountains rose out of the plain. Aldland, called by the seafaring people, Atland, disappeared, and the wild waves rose so high over hill and dale that everything was buried in the sea. Many people were swallowed up by the earth, and others who had escaped the fire perished in the water.
It was not only in Finda’s land that the earth vomited fire, but also in Twiskland. Whole forests were burned one after the other, and when the wind blew from that quarter our land was covered with ashes. Rivers changed their course, and at their mouths new islands were formed of sand and drift.
During three years this continued, but at length it ceased, and forests became visible. Many countries were submerged, and in other places land rose above the sea, and the wood was destroyed through the half of Twiskland. Troops of Finda’s people came and settled in the empty places. Our dispersed people were exterminated or made slaves. Then watchfulness was doubly impressed upon us, and time taught us that union is force."

"Sometimes the dirty priests and princes wished for the boys rather than the girls, and often led them astray from the paths of virtue by rich presents or by force. Because riches were more valued by this lost and degenerate race than virtue or honour, one sometimes saw boys dressed in splendid flowing robes, to the disgrace of their parents and maidens, and to the shame of their own sex."

Giants
"Adela came. She had learned in the burgt to use all kinds of weapons. She was seven feet high, and her sword was the same length. She waved it three times over her head, and each time a knight bit the earth."

"Mankind are male and female, but Wr-alda created both."

A seperate cataclysm described:

"As a wild horse tosses his mane after he has thrown his rider, so Irtha shook her forests and her mountains. Rivers flowed over the land ; the sea raged ; mountains spouted fire to the clouds, and what they vomited forth the clouds flung upon the earth. At the beginning of the Arnemaand (harvest month) the earth bowed towards the north, and sank down lower and lower. In the Welvenmaand (winter month) the low lands of Fryasland were buried under the sea. The woods in which the images were, were torn up and scattered by the wind. The following year the frost came in the Hardemaand (Louwmaand, January), and laid Fryasland concealed under a sheet of ice. In Sellemaand (Sprokkelmaand, February) there were storms of wind from the north, driving mountains of ice and stones. When the spring-tides came the earth raised herself up, the ice melted ; with the ebb the forests with the images drifted out to sea. In the Winne, or Minne- maand (Bloeimaand, May), every one who dared went home. I came with a maiden to the citadel Liudgaarde. How sad it looked there. The forests of the Lindaoorden were almost all gone. Where Liudgaarde used to be was sea. The waves swept over the fortifications. Ice had destroyed the tower, . and the houses lay heaped over each other." 1888 years after Atlantis submerged it perputes.

Alexander the Great
"After we had been settled 12 times 100 and twice 12 years in the Five Waters (Punjab), whilst our naval warriors were navigating all the seas they could find, came Alexander* the King, with a powerful army descending the river towards our villages. No one could withstand him ; but we sea-people, who lived by the sea, put all our possessions on board ships and took our departure."

"When we arrived at New Gertmania (New Gertmania is the port that we had made in order to take in water), we met Alexander with his army. Nearchus went ashore, and stayed three days. Then we proceeded further on. When we came to the Euphrates, Nearchus went ashore with the soldiers and a large body of people ; but he soon returned, and said, The King requests you, for his sake, to go a voyage up the Red Sea ; after that each shall re- ceive as much gold as he can carry. When we arrived there, he showed us where the strait had formerly been. There he spent thirty-one days, always looking steadily towards the desert.
At last there arrived a great troop of people, bringing with them 200 elephants, 1000 camels, a quantity of timber, ropes, and all kinds of implements necessary to drag our fleet to the Mediterranean Sea."

"Nearchus told us that his king wished to show to the other kings that he was more powerful than any kings of Tyre had ever been. We were only to assist, and that surely could do us no harm. We were obliged to yield, and Nearchus knew so well how to regulate everything, that before three months had elapsed our ships lay in the Mediterranean Sea."

"Ptolemy was the name of the prince who reigned over Egypt. Demetrius won the battle, not by his own sol- diers, but because we helped him. We had done this out of friendship for Nearchus, because we knew, that he was of bastard birth by his white skin, blue eyes, and fair hair"


This ought to irk some people
"While the doctrine of Jessos was thus spreading over the earth, the false priests went to the land of his birth to make his death known. They said they were his friends, and they pretended to show great sorrow by tear- ing their clothes and shaving their heads. They went to live in caves in the mountains, but in them they had hid all their treasures, and they made in them images of Jessos. They gave these statues to simple people, and at last they said that Jessos was a god, that he had declared this himself to them, and that all those who followed his doctrine should enter his kingdom hereafter, where all was joy and happiness. Because they knew that he was opposed to the rich, they announced everywhere that poverty, suf- fering, and humility were the door by which to enter into his kingdom, and that those who had suffered the most on earth should enjoy the greatest happiness there. Although they knew that Jessos had taught that men should regu- late and control their passions, they taught that men should stifle their passions, and that the perfection of humanity consisted in being as unfeeling as the cold stones. In order to make the people believe that they did as they preached, they pretended to outward poverty ; and that they had overcome all sensual feelings, they took no wives. But if any young girl had made a false step, it was quickly for- given ; the weak, they said, were to be assisted, and to savetheir souls men must give largely to the Church. Acting in this way, they had wives and children without house- holds, and were rich without. WQj&iftgj but the people grew poorer and more miserable than they had ever been before. This doctrine, which requires the priests to pos- sess no further knowledge than to speak deceitfully, and to pretend to be pious while acting unjustly, spreads from east to west, and will come to our land also. But when the priests fancy that they have entirely ex- tinguished the light of Frya and Jessos, then shall all classes of men rise up who have quietly preserved the truth among themselves, and have hidden it from the priests. They shall be of princely blood of priests, Slavonic, and Frya’s blood. They will make their light visible, so that all men shall see the truth ; they shall cry woe to the acts of the princes and the priests. The princes who love the truth and justice shall separate themselves from the priests ; blood shall flow, but from it the people will gather new strength. Finda’s folk shall contribnte their industry to the common good, Linda’s folk their strength, and we our wisdom. Then the false priests shall be swept away from the earth. Wr-alda’s spirit shall be invoked every- where and always ; the laws that Wr-alda in the beginning instilled into our consciences shall alone be listened to. There shall be neither princes, nor masters, nor rulers, except those chosen by the general voice. Then Frya shall rejoice, and the earth will only bestow her gifts on those who work. All this shall begin 4000 years after the submersion of Atland, and 1000 years later there shall exist no longer either priest or oppression.

their description of the catholic church and its origins i figure sounds about right

Catholix are the dreg of humanity, being gezzuwit garbage.

But when the priests fancy that they have entirely ex- tinguished the light of Frya and Jessos, then shall all classes of men rise up who have quietly preserved the truth among themselves, and have hidden it from the priests. They shall be of princely blood of priests, Slavonic, and Frya’s blood. They will make their light visible, so that all men shall see the truth ; they shall cry woe to the acts of the princes and the priests. The princes who love the truth and justice shall separate themselves from the priests ; blood shall flow, but from it the people will gather new strength. Finda’s folk shall contribnte their industry to the common good, Linda’s folk their strength, and we our wisdom. Then the false priests shall be swept away from the earth. Wr-alda’s spirit shall be invoked every- where and always ; the laws that Wr-alda in the beginning instilled into our consciences shall alone be listened to. There shall be neither princes, nor masters, nor rulers, except those chosen by the general voice. Then Frya shall rejoice, and the earth will only bestow her gifts on those who work. All this shall begin 4000 years after the submersion of Atland, and 1000 years later there shall exist no longer either priest or oppression.


According to the dating we are right now 4216 years since the submergence of Atlantis, and whats happening, people are rising up and seeing the truth about the catholic church and the rabbis. Interestingly it says in particular the Slavs and Frya's blood. The Slavs are the Russians, and Frya's blood according to this manuscript refers to the white people with blue eyes.

Atlantis always fails, people get to stupid and lazy from technology and over indulgence. F off. Immorality rises and intelligence declines. How many people can fix a tesla?

Heres a mention of the Tartars:

"The Twisk-landers are banished and fugitive children of Frya, but their wives they have stolen from the Tartars. The Tartars are a brown tribe of Finda’s people, who are thus named because they make war on everybody. They are all horsemen and robbers. This is what makes the Twisk-landers so bloodthirsty. The Twisklanders who had done the wicked deed called themselves Frijen or Franken. There were among them, my brother said, red, brown, and white men. The red and brown made their hair white with lime-water — but as their faces remained brown, they were only the more ugly."

It sounds like the criminals of the white skinned blue eyed peoples stole the Tartar's women and that was the creation of the Franks. The Tartars def. do not sound very impressive lol

I'll look for it, I enjoyed reading the Kolbrin.

The book began as a parody, and then spiraled out of control with popularity.

It is clearly not real, as the texts contain acronyms and other vocabulary which did not exist when the book was allegedly written.

Keep on failing as you read.

It became so popular because it was a political gift to German nationalism, which is why Hitler & Himmler seized upon it.

Robert Scrutton wrote two good books on the same topic, secrets of lost atland and the other Atlantis.

via guugl?

Def not fake just read the introduction of it. I'll post it for you lazy people who say its fake because google told you it was fake.

C. oyer de Linden, Chief Superintendent of the Royal Dockyard at the Helder, . possesses a very ancient manu- script, which has been inherited and preserved in his family from time immemorial, without any one knowing whence it came or what it contained, owing to both the language and the writing being unknown .
All that was known was that a tradition contained in it had from generation to generation been recommended to careful preservation. It appeared that the tradition rests upon the contents of two letters, with which the manuscript begins, from Hiddo oera Linda* anno 1256, and from Liko oera Linda, anno 803. It came to C. over de Linden by the directions of his grandfather, Den Heer Andries over de Linden, who lived at Enkhuizen, and died there on the 15th of April 1820, aged sixty-one. As the grandson was at that time barely ten years old, the manu- script was taken care of for him by his aunt, Aaije Meyl- hoff, born Over de Linden, living at Enkhuizen, who in August 1848 delivered it to the present possessor.
Dr E. Verwijs having heard of this, requested permission to examine the manuscript, and immediately recognised it as very ancient Fries. He obtained at the same time per- mission to make a copy of it for the benefit of the Friesland Society, and was of opinion that it might be of great im- portance, provided it was not supposititious, and invented for some deceptive object, which he feared. The manuscript being placed in my hands, I also felt very doubtful, though I could not understand what object any one could have in inventing a false composition only to keep it a secret. This doubt remained until I had examined care- fully-executed facsimiles of two fragments, and afterwards of the whole manuscript — the first sight of which con- vinced me of the great age of the document.
Immediately occurred to me CeBsar’s remark upon the writing of the Gauls and the Helvetians in his “ Bello Gallico” (i. 29, and vi. 14), u Grascis utuntur literis,” though it appears in v. 48 that they were not entirely Greek letters. Caesar thus points out only a resemblance — and a very true one- — as the writing, which does not altogether correspond with any known form of letters, re- sembles the most, on a cursory view, the Greek writing, such as is found on monuments and the oldest manuscripts, and belongs to the form which is called lapidary. Besides, I formed the opinion afterwards that the writer of the latter part of the book had been a contemporary of Caasar.
The form and the origin of the writing is so minutely and fully described in the first part of the book, as it could not be in any other language. It is very complete, and consists of thirty-four letters, among which are three separate forms of a and u, and two of e, i, y, and o 9 be- sides four pairs of double consonants — ng, th, ks, and gs. The ng , which as a nasal sound has no particular mark in any other Western language, is an indivisible conjunc- tion ; the th is soft, as in English, and is sometimes re- placed by d; the gs is seldom met with — I believe only in the word segse, to say, in modern Fries sidse, pronounced sisze.
The paper, of large quarto size, is made of cotton, not very thick, without water-mark or maker’s mark, made upon a frame or wire-web, with not very broad perpendi- cular lines.
An introductory letter gives the year 1256 as that in which this manuscript was written by Hiddo overa Linda on foreign paper. Consequently it must have come from Spain, where the Arabs brought into the market paper manufactured from cotton.
On this subject, W. Watte nbach writes in his “ Das Schriftwesen im Mittelalter ” (Leipzig, 1871), s. 93 : —
“ The manufacture of paper from cotton must have been in use among the Chinese from very remote times, and must have become known to the Arabs by the conquest of Samarcand about the year 704. In Damascus this manu- facture was an important branch of industry, for which reason it was called Charta Damascena. By the Arabians this art was brought to the Greeks. It is asserted that Greek manuscripts of the tenth century written upon cot- ton paper exist, and that in the thirteenth century it was much more used 'than parchment. To distinguish it from Egyptian paper it was called Charta hombicina , gossypina , cuttunea , xylina. A distinction from linen paper was not yet necessary. In the manufacture of the cotton paper raw cotton was originally used. We first find paper from rags mentioned by Petrus Clusiacensis (1122-50).
“ The Spaniards and the Italians learned the manufac- ture of this paper from the Arabians. The most celebrated factories were at Jativa, Valencia, Toledo, besides Fabriano in the March of Ancona.”*
In Germany the use of this material did not become very extended, whether it came from Italy or Spain. Therefore the further this preparation spread from the East and the adjoining countries, the more necessity there was that linen should take the place of cotton. A docu- ment of Kaufbeuren on linen paper of the year 1318 is of verydoubtful genuineness. Bodman considers the oldest pure inen paper to be of the year 1324, but up to 1350 much mixed paper was used. All carefully-written manuscripts of great antiquity show by the regularity of their lines that they must have been ruled, even though no traces of the ruled lines can be distinguished. To make the lines they used a thin piece of lead, a ruler, and a pair of compasses to mark the distances.
In old writings the ink is very black or brown ; but while there has been more writing since the thirteenth century, the colour of the ink is often grey or yellowish, and sometimes quite pale, showing that it contains iron. All this affords convincing proof that the manuscript before us belongs to the middle of the thirteenth century, written with clear black letters between fine lines carefully traced with lead. The colour of the ink shows decidedly that it does not contain iron. By these èvidences the date given, 1256, is satisfactorily proved, and it is impossible to assign any later date. Therefore all suspicion of mod- ern deception vanishes.
The language is very old Fries, still older and purer than the Fries Rjuchtboek or old Fries laws, differing from that both in form and spelling, so that it appears to be an entirely distinct dialect, and shows that the locality of the language must have been (as it was spoken) be- tween the Ylie and the Scheldt.
The style is extremely simple, concise, and unembar- rassed, resembling that of ordinary conversation, and free in the choiee of the words. The spelling is also simple and easy, so that the reading of it does not involve the least difficulty, and yet with all its regularity, so unre- stricted, that each of the separate writers who have worked at the book has his own peculiarities, arising from the changes in pronunciation in a long course of years, which naturally must have happened, as the last part of the work is written five centuries after the first As a specimen of antiquity in language and writing, I believe I may venture to say that this book is unique of its kind.
The writing suggests an observation which may be of great importance.
The Greeks know and acknowledge that their writing was not their own invention. They attribute the intro- duction of it to Kadmus, a Phenician. The names of their oldest letters, from Alpha to Tau, agree so exactly with the names of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet, with which the Phenician will have been nearly connected, that we cannot doubt that the Hebrew was the origin of the Phenician. But the form of their letters differs so entirely from that of the Phenician and Hebrew writing, that in that particular no connection can be thought of between them. Whence, then, have the Greeks derived the form of their letters ?
From “ thet bok thêra Adela folstar” (“The Book of Adela’s Followers”) we learn that in the time when Kadmus is said to have lived, about sixteen centuries , before Christ, a brisk trade existed between the Frisians and the Phenicians, whom they named Kadhemar, or dwellers on the coast.
The name Kadmus comes too near the word Kadhemar for us not to believe that Kadmus simply meant a Pheni- cian.
Further on we learn that about the same time a priestess of the castle in the island of Walcheren, Min-erva, also called Nyhellenia, had settled in Attica at the head of a Frisian colony, and had founded a castle at Athens. Also, from the accounts written on the walls of Wara- burch, that the Finns likewise had a writing of their own — a very troublesome and difficult one to read — and that, therefore, the Tyrians and the Greeks had learned the writing of Frya.

To fix the date we must start from the year 1256 of onr era, when Hiddo overa Linda made the copy, in which he says that it was 3449 years after Atland was sunk. This disappearance of the old land (dldland, Atland) was known by the Greeks, for Plato mentions in his “ Timaaus,” 24, the disappearance of Atlantis, the position of which was only known as somewhere far beyond the Pillars of Hercules. From this writing it appears that it was land stretching far out to the west of Jutland, of which Heligoland and the islands of North Friesland are the last barren rem- nants. This event, which occasioned a great dispersion of the Frisian race, became the commencement of a chrono- logical reckoning corresponding with 2193 before Christ, and is known by geologists as the Cimbrian flood.

The whole contents of the book are in all respects new. That is to say, there is nothing in it that we were ac- quainted with before. What we here read of Friso, Adel, and Askar differs entirely from what is related by our own chroniclers, or rather presents it in quite another light. For instance, they all relate that Friso came from India, and that thus the Frisians were of Indian descent ; and yet they add that Friso was a German, and belonged to a Persian race which Herodotus called Germans (JTepfidvioi). According to the statement in this book, Friso did come from India, and with the fleet of Near-hus ; but he is not therefore an Indian. He is of Fri- sian origin, of Frya’s people. He belongs, in fact, to a Frisian colony which after the death of Nijhellênia, fifteen and a half centuries before Christ, under the guidance of a priestess Geert, settled in the Punjab, and took the name of Geertmen. The Geertmen were known by only one of the Greek writers, Strabo, who mentions them as TepfiaveS) differing totally and entirely from the Bpajyiapes in manners, language, and religion.
The historians of Alexander’s expeditions do not speak of Frisians or Geertmen, though they mention Indo- scythians, thereby describing a people who live in India, but whose origin is in the distant, unknown North.
In the accounts of Liudgert no names are given of places where the Frieslanders lived in India. We only know that they first established themselves to the east of the Punjab, and afterwards moved to the west of those rivers. It is mentioned, moreover, as a striking fact, that in the summer the sun at midday was straight above their heads. They therefore lived within the tropics. We find in Ptolemy (see the map of Kiepert), exactly 24° N. on the west side of the Indus, the name Minnagara ; and about six degrees east of that, in 22° N., another Minnagara. This name is pure Fries, the same as Walhallagara, Fols- gara, and comes from Minna, the name of an Eeremoeder, in whose time the voyages of Teunis and his nephew Inca took place.
The coincidence is too remarkable to be accidental, and not to prove that Minnagara was the headquarters of the Frisian colony. The establishment of the colonists in the Punjab in 1551 before Christ, and their journey thither, we find fully described in Adela’s book ; and with the mention of one most remarkable circumstance, namely, that the Frisian mariners sailed through the strait which in those times still ran into the Red Sea.

V
INTBODUCTION.
In Strabo, book i. pages 38 and 50, it appears that Eratosthenes was acquainted with the existence of the strait, of which the later geographers make no mention. It existed still in the time of Moses (Exodus xiv. 2), for he encamped at Pi-ha-ohiroht, the “mouth of the strait” Moreover, Strabo mentions that Sesostris made an attempt to cut through the isthmus, but that he was not able to accomplish it That in very remote times the sea really did flow through is proved by the result of the geological investigations on the isthmus made by the Suez Canal Commission, of which M. Benaud presented a report to the Academy of Sciences on the 19th June 1856. In that report, among other things, appears the following: “ Une question fort controversée est celle de savoir, si & 1’ époque oü les Hebreux fuyaient de l’Egypte sous la con- duite de Moïse, les lacs amers faisaient encore partie de la mer rouge. Cette dernière hypothèse s’accorderait mieux que l’hypothèse contraire avec le texte des livres sacrés, mais alors il faudrait admettre que depuis l’époque de Moïse le seuil de Suez serait sorti des eaux.”
With regard to this question, it is certainly of impor- tance to fall in with an account in this Frisian manuscript, from which it seems that in the sixteenth century before Christ the connection between the Bitter Lakes and the Bed Sea still existed, and that the strait was still navigable. The manuscript further states that soon after the passage of the Geertmen there was an earthquake ; that the land rose so high that all the water ran out, and all the shallows and alluvial lands rose up like a wall. This must have happened after the time of Moses, so that at the date of the Exodus (1564 B.C.) the track between Suez and the Bitter Lakes was still navigable, but could be forded dry- foot at low water.
This point, then, is the commencement of the isth-mus, after the forming of which, the northern inlet was certainly soon filled up as far as the Gulf of Pelusium.
The map by Louis Figuier, in the “ Année scientifique et industrielle ” {première année), Paris, Hachette, 1857, gives a distinct illustration of the formation of this land.
Another statement, which occurs only in Strabo, finds also here a confirmation. Strabo alone of all the Greek writers relates that Nearchus, after he had landed his troops in the Persian Gulf, at the mouth of the Pasitigris, sailed out of the Persian Gulf by Alexander’s command, and steered round Arabia through the Arabian Gulf. As the account stands, it is not clear what Nearchus had to do there, and what the object of the further voyage was. If, as Strabo seems to think, it was only for geographical discovery, he need not have taken the whole fleet. One or two ships would have sufficed. We do not read that he returned. Where, then, did he remain with that fleet ?
The answer to this question is to be found in the Frisian version of the story. Alexander had bought the ships on the Indus, or had had them built by the descen- dants of the Frisians who settled there — the Geertmen — and had taken into his service sailors from among them, and at the head of them was Friso. Alexander having accomplished his voyage and the transport of his troops, had no further use for the ships in the Persian Gulf, but wished to employ them in the Mediterranean. He had taken that idea into his head, and it must be carried into effect. He wished to do what no one had done before him. For this purpose Nearchus was to sail up the Red Sea, and on his arrival at Suez was to find 200 elephants, 1000 camels, workmen and materials, timber and ropes, &c., in order to haul the ships by land over the isthmus. This work was carried on and accomplished with so much zeal and energy that after three months’ labour the fleet was launched in the Mediterranean. That the fleet really ame to the Mediterranean appears in Plutarch’s “ Life of Alexander ; ” but he makes Nearchus bring the fleet round Africa, and sail through the Pillars of Hercules.
After the defeat at Actium, Cleopatra, in imitation of this example, tried to take her fleet over the isthmus in order to escape to India, but was prevented by the inha- bitants of Arabia Petrma, who burnt her ships. (See Plu- tarch’s “ Life of Antony.”) When Alexander shortly after- wards died, Friso remained in the service of Antigonus and Demetrius, until, having been grievously insulted by the latter, he resolved to seek out with his sailors their father- land, Friesland. To India he could not, indeed, return.
Thus these accounts chime in with and clear up each other, and in that way afford a mutual confirmation of the events.
Such simple narratives and surprising results led me to conclude that we had to do here with] more than mere Saga and Legends.
Since the last twenty years attention has been directed to the remains of the dwellings on piles, first observed in the Swiss lakes, and afterwards in other parts of Europe. (See Dr E. Rückert, “ Die Pfahlbauten Wurzburg, 1869. Dr T. C. Winkler, in the “ Volksalmanak,” t. N. v. A. 1867.) When they were found, endeavours were made to discover, by the existing fragments of arms, tools, and household articles, by whom and when these dwellings had been inhabited. There are no accounts of them in historical writers, beyond what Herodotus writes in book v. chapter 16, of the “ Paeonen.” The only trace that has been found is in one of the panels of Trajan’s Pillar, in which the destruction of a pile village in Dacia is repre- sented.
Doubly important, therefore, is it to learn from the writing of Apollonia that she, as “ Burgtmaagd ” (chief of the virgins), about 540 years before Christ, made a journey up the Rhine to Switzerland, and there became acquainted with the Lake Dwellers (Marsaten). She describes their dwellings built upon piles — the people themselves — -their manners and customs. She relates that they lived by fishing and hunting, and that they prepared the skins of the animals with the bark of the birch-tree in order to sell the furs to the Rhine boatmen, who brought them into commerce. This account of the pile dwellings in the Swiss lakes can only have been written in the time when these dwellings still existed and were lived in. In the second part of the writing, Konerèd oera Linda relates that Adel, the son of Friso (ztz 250 years before Christ), visited the pile dwellings in Switzerland with his wife Ifkja.
Later than this account there is no mention by any writer whatever of the pile dwellings, and the subject has remained for twenty centuries utterly unknown until 1853, when an extraordinary low state of the water led to the discovery of these dwellings. Therefore no one could have invented this account in the intervening period. Although a great portion of the first part of the work — the book of Adela — belongs to the mythological period before the Trojan war, there is a striking difference between it and the Greek myths. The Myths have no dates, much less any chronology, nor any internal coherence of successive events. The untrammelled fancy develops itself in every poem separately and independently. The mythological stories contradict each other on every point. “ Les Mythes ne se tiennent pas,” is the only key to the Greek Mythology.
Here, on the contrary, we meet with a regular succession of dates starting from a fixed period — the destruction of Atland, 2193 before Christ The accounts are natural and simple, often naïve, never contradict each other, and are always consistent with each other in time and place. As, for instance, the arrival and sojourn of Ulysses with the Burgtmaagd Kalip at Walhallagara (Walcheren), which is the most mythical portion of all, is here said to be 1005 years after the disappearance of Atland, which coincides with 1188 years before Christ, and thus agrees very nearly with the time at which the Greeks say the Trojan war took place. The story of Ulysses was not brought here for the first time by the Romans. Tacitus found it already in Lower Germany (see “ Germania,’’ cap. 3), and says that at Asciburgium there was an altar on which the names of Ulysses and his father Laërtes were inscribed.
Amother remarkable difference consists in this, that the Myths know no origin, do not name either writers or relaters of their stories, and therefore never can bring for- ward any authority. Whereas in Adela’s book, for every statement is given a notice where it was found or whence it was taken. For instance, “ This comes from Minno’s writings — this is written on the walls of Wara- burch — this in the town of Frya — this at Stavia — this at Walhallagara.”
There is also this further. Laws, regular legislative
enactments, such as are found in great numbers in Adela’s
book, are utterly unknown in Mythology, and indeed are
irreconcilable with its existence. Even when the Myth
attributes to Minos the introduction of lawgiving in Crete,
it does not give the least account of what the legislation
consisted in. Also among the Gods of Mythology there
existed no system of laws. The only law was unchang- able Destiny and the will of the supreme Zeus.
With regard to Mythology, this writing, which bears no mythical character, is not less remarkable than with regard to history. Notwithstanding the frequent and various relations with Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, we do not find any traces of acquaintance with the Northern or Scandinavian Mythology. Only Wodin appears in the person of Wodan, a chief of the Frisians, who became the son-in-law of one Magy, King of the Finns, and after his death was deified.
The Frisian religion is «extremely simple, and pure Mo- notheism. Wr-alda or Wr-alda’s spirit is the only eternal, unchangeable, perfect, and almighty being. Wr-alda has created everything. Out of him proceeds everything — first the beginning, then time, and afterwards Irtha, the Earth. Irtha bore three daughters — Lyda, Finda, and Frya — the mothers of the three distinct races, black, yellow, and white — Africa, Asia, and Europe. As such, Frya is the mother of Frya’s people, the Frieslanders. She is the representative of Wr-alda, and is reverenced accordingly. Frya has established her “Tex,” the first law, and has established the religion of the eternal light The worship consists iq the maintenance of a perpetually-burning lamp, foddik , by priestesses, virgins. At the head of the virgins in every town was a Burgtmaagd, and the chief of the Burgtmaagden was the Eeremoeder of the Fryasburgt of Texland. The Eeremoeder governs the whole country. The kings can do nothing, nor can anything happen with- out her advice and approval. The first Eeremoeder was appointed by Frya herself, and was called F&sta. In fact, we find here the prototype of the Roman Vestal Virgins.
We are reminded here of Velleda (Welda) and Aurinia in Tacitus (“ Germania,” 8. Hist., iv. 01, 65 ; v. 22, 24. “Annals,” i. 54), and of Gauna,the successor of Velleda, in Dio Cassius (Fragments, 49). Tacitus speaks of the town of Velleda as “ edita turris,” page 146. It was the town Mannagarda forda (Munster).
In the county of the Marsians he speaks of the temple Tanfane (Tanfanc), so called from the sign of the Juul. (See plate L)
The last of these towns was F&staburgt in Ameland, temple Foste, destroyed, according to Occa Scarlensis, in 806.
If we find among the Frisians a belief in a Godhead.
nd ideas of religion entirely different from the Mytho- logy of other nations, we are the more surprised to find in some points the closest connection with the Greek and Roman Mythology, and even with the origin of two deities of the highest rank, Min-erva and Neptune. Min- erva (Athénè) was originally a Burgtmaagd, priestess of Frya, at the town Walhallagara, Middelburg, or Domburg, in Walcheren. And this Min-erva is at the same time the mysterious enigmatical goddess of whose worship scarcely any traces remain beyond the votive stones at Domburg, in Walcheren, Nehallenia, of whom no mythology knows anything more than the name, which etymology has used . for all sorts of fantastical derivations.*
The other, Neptune, called by the Etrurians Nethunus, the God of the Mediterranean Sea, appears here to have been, when living, a Friesland Viking, or sea-king, whose home was Alderga (Ouddorp, not far from Alkmaar). His name was Teunis, called familiarly by his followers Neef Teunis, or Cousin Teunis, who had chosen the Mediterranean as the destination of his expeditions, and must have been deified by the Tyrians at the time when the Phenician navigators began to extend their voyages so remarkably, sailing to Friesland in order to obtain British tin, northern iron, and amber from the Baltic, about 2000 years before Christ.
Besides these two we meet with a third mythological person — Minos, the lawgiver of Crete, who likewise appears to have been a Friesland searking, Minno, born at Lindaoord, between Wieringen and Kreyl, who imparted to the Cretans an “ Asagaboek.” He is that Minos who, with his brother Rhadamanthus and iEacus, presided as udges over the fates of the ghosts in Hades, and must not be confounded with the later Minos, the contemporary of jEgeus and Theseus, who appears in the Athenian fables.
The reader may perhaps be inclined to laugh at these statements, and apply to me the words that I myself have lately used, fantastic and improbable. Indeed at first I could not believe my own eyes, and yet after further con- sideration I arrived at the discovery of extraordinary con- formities which render the case much less improbable than the birth of Min-erva from the head of Jupiter by a blow from the axe of Heph»stus, for instance.
In the Greek Mythology all the gods and goddesses have a youthful period. Fallas alone has no youth. She is not otherwise known than adult. Min-erva appears in Attica as high priestess from a foreign country, a country unknown to the Greeks. Pallas is a virgin goddess, Min-erva is a Burgtmaagd. The fair, blue-eyed Pallas, differing thus in type from the rest of the gods and goddesses, evidently belonged to Frya’s people. The character for wisdom and the emblematical attributes, especially the owl, are the same for both. Pallas gives to the new town her own name, Athènai, which has no meaning in Greek. Min-erva gives to the town built by her the name Athene, which has an important meaning in Fries, namely, that they came there as friends — “ Athen.”
Min-erva came to Attica about 1600 years before Christ, the period at which the Grecian Mythology was beginning to be formed. Min-erva landed with the fleet of Jon at the head of a colony in Attica. In later times we find her on the Boman votive stones in Walcheren, under the name of Nehallenia, worshipped as a goddess of navigation ; and Fallas is worshipped by the Athenians as the protecting goddess of shipbuilding and navigation.
Time is the carrier who must eternally turn the “ Jol”
(wheel) and carry the sun along his course through the irmament from winter to winter, thus forming the year, every turn of the wheel being a day. In midwinter the “ Jolfeest ” is celebrated on Frya’s Day. Then cakes are baked in the form of the sun’s wheel, because with the Jol Frya formed the letters when she wrote her “Tex.” The Jolfeest is therefore also in honour of Frya as inventor of writing.
Just as this Jolfeest has been changed by Christianity into Christmas throughout Denmark and Germany, and into St Nicholas’ Day in Holland ; so, certainly, our St Nicholas’ dolls— the lover and his sweetheart — are a memorial of Frya, and the St Nicholas letters a memo- rial of Frya’s invention of letters formed from the wheel.
I cannot analyse the whole contents of this writing, and must content myself with the remarks that I have made. They will give an idea of the richness and importance of the contents. If some of it is fabulous, even as fabulous it must have an interest for us, since so little of the traditions of our forefathers remains to us.
An internal evidence of the antiquity of these writings may be found in the fact that the name Batavians had not yet been used. The inhabitants of the whole country as far as the Scheldt are Frya’s people — Frieslanders. The Batavians are not a separate people. The name Batavi is of Roman origin. The Romans gave it to the inha- bitants of the banks of the Waal, whioh river bears the name Patabus in the “Tabula Pentingeriana.” The name Batavi does not appear earlier than Tacitus and Pliny, and is interpolated in Caesar’s “ Bello Gallico,” iv. 10. (See my treatise on the course of the rivers through the countries of the Frisians and Batavians, p. 49, in “ De Vrije Fries,” 4th vol. 1st part, 1845.)
I will conclude with one more remark regarding the lan- guage. Those who have been able to take only a superficial iew of the manuscript have been struck by the polish of the language, and its conformity with the present Friesland language and Dutch. In this they seem to find grounds for doubting the antiquity of the manuscript*
But, I ask, is, then, the language of Homer much less polished than that of Plato or Demosthenes? And does not the greatest portion of Homer’s vocabulary exist in the Greek of our day?
It is true that language alters with time, and is con- tinually subject to slight variations, owing to which lan- guage is found to be different at different epochs. This change in the language in this manuscript accordingly gives ground for important observations to philologists. It is not only that of the eight writers who have successively worked at the book, each is recognisable by slight pecu- liarities in style, language, and spelling ; but more parti- cularly between the two parts of the book, between which an interval of more than two centuries occurs, a striking difference of the language is visible, which shows what a slowly progressive regulation it has undergone in that period of time. As the result of these considerations, I arrive at the conclusion that I cannot find any reason to doubt the authenticity of these writings. They cannot be forgeries. In the first place, the copy of 1256 cannot be. Who could at that time have forged anything of that kind? Certainly no one. Still less any one at an earlier date. At a later date a forgery is equally impossible, for the simple reason that no one was acquainted with the language. Except Grimm, Richthofen, and Hettema, no one can be named sufficiently versed in that branch of philology, or who had studied the language so as to be able to write in it. And if any one could have done so, there would have been no more extensive vocabulary at his service than that which the East Frisian laws afford. Therefore, in the centuries lately elapsed, the preparation of this writing was quite impossible. Whoever doubts this let him begin by showing where, when, by whom, and with what object such a forgery could be committed, and let him show in modern times the fellow of this paper, this writing, and this language.
Moreover, that the manuscript of 1256 is not original, but is a copy, is proved by the numerous faults in the writing, as well as by some explanations of words which already in the time of the copyist had become obsolete and little known, as, for instance, in page 82 (114), “to thêra flête jefta bedrum;” page 151 (204), “bargum jefta tonnum fon tha besta bjar.”
A still stronger proof is that between pages 157 and 158 one or more pages are missing, which cannot have been lost out of this manuscript, because the pages 157 and 158 are on the front and the back of the same leaf.
Page 157 finishes thus : “ Three months afterwards Adel sent messengers to all the friends that he had gained, and requested them to send him intelligent people in the month of May.” When we turn over the leaf, the other side begins, “ his wife, he said, who had been Maid of Tex- land,” had got a copy of it
There is no connection between these two. There is wanting, at least, the arrival of the invited, and an account of what passed at their meeting. It is clear, therefore, that the copyist must have turned over two pages of the original instead of one. . There certainly existed then an earlier manuscript, and that was doubtless written by Liko oera Linda in the year 803.
We may thus accept that we possess in this manuscript, of which the first part was composed in the sixth century before our era, the oldest production, after Homer and Hesiod, of European literature. And here we find in our fatherland a very ancient people in possession of development, civilisation, industry, navigation, commerce, literature and pure elevated ideas of religion, whose existence we had never even conjectured. Hitherto we have believed that the historical records of our people reach no farther back than the arrival of Friso the presumptive founder of the Frisians, whereas here we become aware that these records mount up to more than 2000 years before Christ, surpassing the antiquity of Hellas and equalling that of Israel.

Here is an expert analysis on the work read it if you believe its not authentic they lay out all the evidence that it cannot, not, be ancient... they are hiding this book. They are trying to delete white history, fuck them.
