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.

Linguists are now certain that Hebrew is a Phoenician language. The 'arch-tectons' or family of Jesus might have been the designers of the Pyramids and of Keltic origin. Is this a mystery,Joseph of Arimathaea - Part One: Articles a fable or the over-indulgent rationale of a person seeking a unique perspective on 'his'-story. You will be the judge and hopefully you will check further along the trail and see many other authors who are connecting this picture in quite forensic manners and with common sense beyond the level of the purely mythical and useful Bible Narrative. This re-working of Jesus and his family, or the 'source' of his teaching is quite an important part of what our lives and laws still are governed by, we think. Is this Hebrew the sacerdotal code that pre-existed hieroglyphics which Flinders-Petrie said was around for thousand(s) of years. That is what Connor MacDari and my Ogham scholar would say, on the path back to Ogham.

Clearly last year’s Associated Press report that confirms pre-existing alphabets in the Sahara where the savannah had agriculture a thousand years before the 'hunters and gatherers' of Egypt is worth thinking about. Michael Grant tells us of a pre-existing Canaanite (Phoenician) language. Strabo talks of a history book in Tartessus going back to around 8,000 BC. which ties in with Gimbutas's Old European. The verbal tradition of the Kelts in the Psaltair na Tara goes back 25,000 years. Manetho wrote of Isis colonizing Egypt in 36,000 BC. and the mines recently found there from 35,000 years ago are a good piece of actual hard evidence. Velikovsky's Ramesside 'tiles' and all manner of other clues and possibilities including engineering in Carnac and social structure akin to the Mayan in Stonehenge from Euan MacKie or Evan Hadringham. Marshack's 15-35,000 year old Iberian (Kelt or Basque) lunar calendar is a good piece in the puzzle, too. Are the Jewish people really a homogeneous group? We know that Joseph of Arimathaea was a Benjaminite but most scholars know not where Arimathaea is. That seems a rather convenient oversight when we also know the Benjaminites were at war with the rest of the tribes of Israel as we now turn to Mr. Bradley who has done some excellent sleuthing and dedicated scholarship.

"One Sicambrian King was named Merovee. About 470 A.D. something noteworthy happened during Merovée's rule. The Sicambrian line was somehow enhanced in prestige from this time. The dynasty was called Merovingian afterwards in honour of this King Merovée who also reigned about the time of King Arthur's birth {Recent 'digs' show Arthur of Wales was situated in a site on Cadbury Hill near Glastonbury as the legends did say. There are other Arthur's in earlier legends too, I believe.}.

And that covers the Merovingian origins, on the surface.

But these Sicambrian Franks, or Merovingians {History is agreed these 'Franks were Teuton Knights and Kelts from pre-Roman time. There is reason to connect the Germanic people back through Hallstatt to the Danube.}, were peculiar in several respects. Not the least of their peculiarities was that they claimed to be Jewish! They claimed to represent the majority of the Tribe of Benjamin!

{Remember there are many tongues that confuse the 'l' and the 'r' and that Phoenicians may have a Mu or Asian component from Egypt according to Churchward and others.}

Benjamin was one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel and was in some way special. It was also powerful. God was somehow in the Tribe of Benjamin. In Deuteronomy 33, Moses says of the Tribe of Benjamin: 'The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.'...

{There is another author who notes a proximity of Cyprus to Almathea. This may be a Phoenician closeness as the Cypriots of the time were almost always Phoenician and it probably relates to one of the cities of the nearby Levant. Could it be Ashkelon or such a port city as we showed in 'Science' from the National Geographic? At the time of Joseph and Jesus Bradley makes a good point for them having influence on Mt. Tabor and the cities now called Cana and Nazareth.}

But it came to pass that most of the Benjaminites left Palestine, and this was because of a civil war among the Israelites. The Tribe of Benjamin came into conflict with the other eleven Tribes because the Benjaminites were apparently allied with the 'Sons of Belial' {The Keltic god 'Bel' which became Ba'al, and we know from many sources is Phoenician.} and would not attempt to impose Israelite laws and customs upon them. This war is covered in Judges 21 in the Bible. The result was that most of the Benjaminites left Palestine, or were expelled by the victorious eleven Tribes.

{Did Hitler know this and make a differentiation? Did he think of himself as part Benjaminite and wanting to seek revenge? His birth name is Schicklgruber and the anti-Semitic sentiment was politically expedient to his purposes, but he is acknowledged to be 1/16th Jewish. This is true even if he father was not a Rothschild illegitimate which he was according to The Mind of Adolf Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report and other sources. The Rothschilds and Rockefellers are well aware of their Benjaminite roots, I suggest. But the official biographies make no mention of these controversies, even though they admit Nathan Rothschild made and enormous fortune in league with the British crown in Treasury trading on the occasion of the Battle of Waterloo, when their secret agents gave them insider information.}

The 'Sons of Belial' with whom the Benjaminites were allied, or against whom they refused to go to war in order to enforce Israelite customs, were none other than the Phoenicians of Tyre and Sidon, the 'red-headed' ones who were 'proto-Celts'. It is possible that the Benjaminites were related to these coastal people {We know Jesus was because Solomon's father-in-law was Hiram of Tyre, who plays an import- ant role in Masonic history or lore. We saw Jeze-BEL was too, from the authors of 'Carthage'. We know the father of Biblical Archaeology says the Bible is the Phoenician literary legacy we can thank them for. We are sure there was a cover-up!}. They certainly had some affinity with them, and refused to go to war against them.

At the same time, the Benjaminites had a very great holding in Palestine, a tract including major Israelite cities and Jerusalem. Then, the mere fact that they were able to consider a war against all the other Tribes must mean that the Tribe called Benjaminites must have been the single most powerful tribe in the Israelite confederacy as well as being somehow 'different'.

The Old Testament has been doctored to reflect the cohesion and greatness of the Hebrews, just as the New Testament has been doctored to distort certain embarrassing relationships.

{We have quoted lots of Rabbis and scholars who support this assertion.}

The Tribe of Benjamin, which had some special divine dispensation and significant geographical holdings, 'may not have been within the Semitic mainstream at all'. {Or a different 'mainstream' than 'his'- story does recount.} They may have had closer genetic relationship to the 'Sons of Belial' whom they refused to fight…” (7)
