Have you heard about the Glastonbury Thorn tree that is a Palestinian Thorn found only in Palestine? It is said to have originated with the arrival of Joseph of Arimathaea in what is now England, with the family of Jesus after they spent time in the south of France. Joseph stuck it in the ground to indicate they too would stick on that ground where he had business dealings for all of his life in the tin trade with the Cassiterrides or Cornwall. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle knew about this Phoenician conglomerate and its trade. There was an oracle of the Sibyl/Dryads teaching who had a following and she was named Almathaea or something of a similar spelling in one of the many languages, throughout the Mediterranean. Here is a trail (the money trail) that is wisely traveled and makes a lot of common sense full of motive and opportunity.
