Ancestral Heritage of Europe

 

 

 

Europe ~ a continent whose population grew through successive migrations from more populated southern and eastern regions. Having a broad mix of peoples whose variations in hair, eye and skin tones are greater than any other peoples elsewhere. As successive waves of migrants intermarried with existing inhabitants their languages, customs and traditions absorbed and changed, yet traces of their migrating ancestors' origins remain. Among migrants historically known are the Romans, Moors, Huns, Romany Gypsies (originating in India), as well as the westward migrations of Israelites and Jews from ancient Israel and Palestine. But there are many more whose origins and characteristics are vague or lost in the passage of time.

Fragments of lost histories found in archeology and ancient historical scripts are often isolated and cryptic, and researchers tend to fill in missing parts with biased narratives or regurgitations from previous scholars long after archaeology has moved on. Thanks to Oahspe, however, numerous lost histories long clouded, hidden in the mists of tales and legends, are revealed. Of these revealed histories in Oahspe, European is no less fascinating, linked as it was with events in the South and Eastern parts of the greater Eurasian/African land mass.

 

 

In Oahspe, the first mention of Europe as a destination for peoples inspired to migrate Westward and North occurred in the cycle of Fragapatti some 9,000 years ago. An important earlier migration that had a great bearing on European migrations occurred at the time of the Submergence of the Great Continent of Pan in the Pacific Ocean some 25,000 years ago. Small groups of survivors of this event (I'hins, sacred little people) which came to be known as The Flood, landed in five divisions of the earth. Those that landed in East Africa were called the Tribes of Ham and the division of the earth they occupied was called Ham. By the time of the first migrations to Europe from among the descendents of the original Tribes of Ham, the region had become known as Arabin'ya.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oahspe thus reveals that the majority of migrations to Europe were descendents of the original Tribes of Ham (who, although imbued with desire to go westward, also went in other directions). These sprang from the I'hin survivors of the sunken continent of Pan landing on the east coast of the continent of Ham, now known as Africa. Such descendents were generally not I'hins themselves, but of those who had mixed with the native inhabitants of regions thereabouts, being I'huan/Ghans/Listians. .

 

According to Oahspe, as early as 9,000 years ago (8,900 BK), Europe, sparsely populated by stone-age barbarians, was destined to become a populous and productive region of the earth. From that time onward, waves of inspired migrants, I'huan/Ghan/Listians (mixed races with I'hin ancestry), began successive migrations that continued over thousands of years.

 

 

 

Successive inspired migrations from the warm Southern belt of the earth to the colder, unproductive regions northward and westward continued throughout the following 3,000 years and beyond. While many archaeo-anthropologists believe the first migrants to Europe were exclusively agriculturalists migrating from the Middle East, there is evidence that many also came from Africa, and that they were skilled in metallurgy that was used not only for tool making but for hunting and fishing implements.

 

 

 

Although archaeologists have dated evidence of iron or copper mining or smelting in Europe, Middle East or Africa no earlier than 8,000 years ago, it is most likely that these dates have been artificially adjusted to conform to accepted paradigms of historical periods. Radiocarbon dating has yielded some earlier dates than previously thought possible. However, unexpected results are usually discounted, analysts believing there must have been corrupt samples because earlier dates do not fit established paradigms. If archaeologists keep searching, no doubt more discoveries will provide more evidence of dates up to 1,000 years earlier for not only metallurgy but other human industries and arts in Europe.

Earliest dates for metals found in Europe range from 6000 b.c.e. in Central Europe to 5000 b.c.e. in Spain, to 2400 b.c.e. in Ireland. These dates are not conclusive regarding the actual existence of metallurgy in Europe, indeed such a dearth of evidence rather indicates that metal was precious and was collected and recycled for further use.

 

 

 

 

That so many of the early migrants to Europe came from North Africa can easily be attributed to the fact that African populations were closer and more accessible than the Middle East, for at that time the North African Sahara region was well populated and fertile. Moreover, these early Hamitic migrants were not necessarily dark skinned! Images painted on the walls of Seti I's tomb in Ancient Egypt show that North Africa was populated by four types of inhabitants and those that were black were mostly located in the southern regions. (see image and caption below).

 

 

 

 

Many migrants had only to cross the sheltered waters of the Mediterranean to land directly in Europe. Researchers can only speculate about what attracted such migrants from warm fertile regions, such as escaping oppression or conflict, changes in climate affecting food sources and such. Oahspe, however, reveals reasons that the migrants themselves were not aware of, for such migrants would not have, of their own accord, moved to colder climes, naturally preferring a life of less toil and more comfort in a warm climate. Thus those who migrated to colder regions would be induced to productivity through necessity and at the same time populate less inhabited regions of the earth.

 

 

 

While Europe was receiving Hamitic migrants, new waves of migrants under a different inspiration began arriving in the neighboring regions of Heleste, east and south of Europe. These migrants were I'huans inspired by the false God, Ahura, from about 7,000 years ago (see above map for the location of Europa and Heleste - Heleste includes the Near East and Central and Eastern Europe). Unlike migrants to Europe who labored and intermarried with the existing inhabitants, the migrants to Heleste killed off many of the native inhabitants in those regions, then mingled with the survivors to produce a race of short swarthy stocky people. However, since the Hamites were ordained to redeem the barbarians, these migrations were also appropriated by Jehovih to eventually redeem the barbarians.

 

 

 

Following the settlement of Heleste, tens of thousands of Helestians (a blend of those I'huan migrants inspired by Ahura and native inhabitants) began migrating to Europe some 3,000 years after the first Europe bound migrations. These latest migrations were from central and Eastern Eurasia where the inhabitants were established under monarchies. And these migrations also added language and customs into the existing mix, of which remnants are still found in existing languages and traditions of Europeans to this day.

 

 

According to Oahspe, the first 400 years of the Spe-ta Cycle were peaceful but with the gradual loss of light the lower nature of man began to manifest and those whose natures were more aggressive began to press upon their neighbors. Thus we find that after the initial 200 to 400 years Helestian migrations from Central Europe and the Balkans, and most probably many of those who had previously settled in more peaceful preceeding centuries, contributed to social upheaval and invasions. This period is known in history as the Ancient Chalcolithic (Copper) Period and is punctuated with the spread of more stratified societies (kings, nobles, merchants, etc) and evidence of craft skills such as weaving and metallurgy::

 

 

 

The "advances" in valuable goods industry and megaliths to aid in astronomy of this period in Europe was explained in Oahspe. A new cycle had begun and man was reintroduced to knowledge lost during the dark times - man enjoyed a golden age that lasted some 200 to 400 years. Then as the centuries rolled by, those of the beast began to use man's knowledge for self, believing in their own importance and appropriating less aggressive peoples to their own advantage.

 

 

 

 These Helestian migrations westward further changed the genetic mix already established in Europe. But it was only recently via DNA technology that genetic evidence of this latest mix was discovered by researchers who had, up until that time, recognized only two sources contributing to the European gene pool i.e., bronze skin with blue eyes, and pale skin with brown eyes going back to the first migrants. These two types were believed to be indigenous hunter gatherers and early immigrant agriculturalists from the Near and Middle East (these two categories however are speculative assumptions --- the migrants were of both genetic types and they also farmed and hunted, just as many flesh eating farmers had been doing since). .

 

These details, only becoming clear to researchers in the last decade or so, were already supplied in Oahspe back in 1882. Oahspe identified the first migrations from Ham; and then the Helestian (Balkan/Central European) migrations; and the time and context in which these occurred!

 

 

 

Some 5,500 years after the first migrations of the Hamites to Europa began (9,000 years ago), and some 2,000 years after the Helestian migrations, a new wave of migrations from Egypt among the tribes of Ham occurred following the fall of what is now known as the Middle Kingdom of Egypt and the so called Expulsion of the Hyksos, otherwise known as the time of Moses and the Exodus of the Faithists (Israelites) of Egypt around 1550 b.c.e.

The ancient Israelites of Egypt were identified as Faithist descendents of the I'hins of Ham, although those in the Israelite order were not I'hins themselves but a mixture of I'hin and native inhabitants of the regions round about (albeit with a greater percentage of I'hin blood than other non-faithist tribes in those regions). For, apart from the Israelites and perhaps a few pockets of I'hins (whose race within 400 years would cease), the region was populated by other descendents of those original I'hins, mixed with the original native inhabitants, The original inhabitants by this time had become extinct or melded into the new mixed tribes. Such descendants, who were not of the ancient tribes of Israel, nor Faithists in Jehovih, were followers of the various false gods of the regions round about. Even so, these also were influenced by the original ingrained inclinationn given to the I'hins of Ham --- to migrate westward and in the process, to redeem the barbarian.

We find from Oahspe, that this new wave migrating North and Westward were inhabitants of the fallen Middle Kingdom of Egypt following on the heels of the Israelite Exodus. Once the Hebrew slaves had walked away to freedom, the Egyptian ruling classes were desperate to fill their vacated positions --- thus the Egyptian slave-masters were willing to enslave any they could. Imminent enslavement compounded by deplorable conditions following the numerous plagues and breakdown of the socio / economic structure spurred ordinary Egyptians to flee the vicinity.

 

Historically these ancient Egyptian migrations are evidenced in a wide area of Western Europe by an almost abrupt change in burial practices --- from little or no concern, to an obsession with burial tombs. This was the Tumulus culture (1600 to 1200 b.c.e.), distinguished by the practice of burying the dead in tombs beneath burial mounds. When we consider the religious culture of these Egyptian immigrants we can understand the context of their tomb mounds, especially for burying prominent, important persons. Egypt at the time of the late Middle Kingdom (which ended in 1550 b.c.e.) was involved in building tombs and great mounds of mud-brick and stone (pyramids). These tombs and pyramids were associated with beliefs in an afterlife set within confines of the tomb in which food, effigies and other "needs for an afterlife"were placed with the deceased. In Ancient Egypt the dead were aligned east-west, and cemeteries located to the east of the villages. This alignment represented their beliefs in the divinity of the Sun whose travel across the sky was east to west. It is no mere co-incidence then that many of Tumulus culture burial grounds were often aligned east-west, since their builders were the Egyptian migrants following the collapse of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom/Empire. Various megaliths built before and after that time also marked the travel of the sun and its solstices, a practice that didn't cease until Christianization and the usurpation of the seasons to mark Christian holidays. (See The Pole of Visvasrij for further examples of early influences on Celtic / European culture.)

 

 

Over the following two millenia successive scatterings of Israelites and other Hamites continued throughout the war ravaged regions of Arabin'ya, punctuated with another great scattering of Israelites and Jews starting around 350 b.c.e. and intensifying half a century later with the rise of warrior gnostics. These diasporas continued through the eventual destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 c.e. when another surge of Israelites, Jews and apostates dispersed, and thereafter they sought haven wherever they could, for the most part, migrating North and Westward away from troubled regions.
