Helios had the Sun cattle, which I summise these golden horned cattle were.

In my translation the text is correct. s. http://www.rodinbook.nl/vertalingmodern.html. However, the mistake is made by Ottema in one of his editions. This text shows on my website too: http://www.rodinbook.nl/olbvertaling.html. I am not allowed to change or improve Ottema's text.

Well, as long as you don't base that on the "ra" right after "vrlovande" :

thâ nam_er tha skênsta sinar finna änd mag_

yara.vrlovande ra ky mith golden horna sa

hja_ra thrvch vs folk fata dêdon.äfterdam.

sina lêr vtbrêda. men sin ljuda dêdon

That "ra" is a dative case. In the sentence I quoted it is like "promised to them".

And if you enlarge the image I posted, you will see a faint connecting underscore between 'vrlovande' and 'ra', like "vrlovande_ra".

.

Correct.

Ah yes, I forgot about that.

Crazy, isn't it? Just a wrong transliteration of only one letter, and the whole sentence becomes weird and/or invites for totally wrong interpretations.

But that quote only says that on the other side of the Weser states had fallen under the power of the Magy. not that East Flyland reached all the way up to the Weser.

.

I have pointed out, that the original eastern Frisian territory reached as far as Letland and Lithouwen, but the lands beyond the Weser and Denmark got lost to the Fins and Magyars. The same happened in the western territory: the original western Frisian territory reached as far as Cadiz, but got lost to the Gauls, initially till the Seine and later to the Schelde/Sincfal.

No, the golden horns are enough, plus that's what they'd be, the Sun cow or Sun bull, as worshipped in Egypt. Northern Europe never had sun bulls or cows. They would have been introduced.

You introduce something that's not to be found anywhere in the OLB.

Northern Europe may never have had sun bulls/cows, and that's no problem for they do not show up anywhere in the OLB.

Cows with golden horns. That IS in the OLB. ky mith golden horna.

The Magyar are promising them everything for the worship of the Solar cow/bull. They won't actually receive anything. They will get nothing. To people against this, the promise is baseless.

I don't even want to bog down with the ky's. That's my opinion.

I know there are cows with golden horns in the OLB, but not your 'sun/solar cows/bulls'.

You introduce 'sun/solar' because you want a link to ancient Egypt (Ra) or Greece/Mycene.

The Golden Horns

Amongst the most famous finds from Danish prehistory are the Golden Horns. These are not only unique; their story has also been a very dramatic one. The Golden Horns were made around the year 400 AD and were decorated with both Nordic and Roman motifs. The combined weight of the horns was nearly 7 kg. The long horn was found in 1639 at Gallehus, near Møgeltønder, in Southern Jutland. A few metres away the short horn was found in 1734. This bore the runic inscription ekhlewagastiR : holtijaR : horna : tawido, in English “I Lægæst, son of Holt (or “from Holt”) made the horn”. Both horns were stolen and melted down in 1802. The appearance of the horns is known solely from drawings dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. Therefore many details are uncertain. The copies made in 1859-60 are too large, but presumably show the proper shape, while the twisted set from the 1970s have the right size.

19th-century electrotypes of two gold horns from Gallehus, near Tønder, southern Jutland, Denmark

The originals were Germanic, early 5th century AD

The gold horns of which these are reproductions were a spectacular symbol of Denmark's ancient past. Their runic inscriptions demonstrated to scholars of the seventeenth and eighteenth century that the early peoples of northern Europe had their own form of writing and could therefore be considered a civilized society.

The horns may have been either musical instruments or drinking horns, and were probably buried as votive offerings or loot. Each weighed over 3 kg. The first (complete) horn, was found in 1639 and sent to Ole Worm (1588-1654), professor of humanities and medicine in Copenhagen, Denmark. Worm had a famous collection of natural and artificial curiosities and was also a scholar of runic inscriptions. The second horn was found in 1734.

Sadly, both horns were stolen from the Danish royal collections in 1802 and were melted down by the thief. But good engravings had been made, which allowed replicas to be made in 1861. These electrotype copies were made from the replicas.

The runes on the short horn are in an early Germanic dialect. They read 'ek hlewagastiz holtingaz horna tawido', which translates as 'I, Hlewagastiz, son of Holt, made the horn'. The enigmatic animal, human and geometric designs on the horns have not been explained, although they probably represent scenes from religious rituals, seasonal festivals or myths.

It's not about the Fryan territory, it's about the size/location of East Flyland.

Helgoland (where you said Wodin was born) is in North Friesland.

According to this map East FRIESland did indeed stretch out to the Weser. But East FRIESland is not East FLYland.

And where did you point out about Latvia and Lithuania? I think that was me, lol : Frisische Haff, and my wordplay with "Prussian" (Phruisi > Frisii > Parisii > and so on. You also might want to search this thread for "Pruteni"). Well, Puzz certainly posted a lot too about the Baltic area.

Baldr is not actually the Sun,(that Frya births) imo, he seems to be the day (of the Solstice). His name can mean this too, in the form of bright, white, day:

In Anglo-Saxon tradition, the son of Woden is called not Bealdor but Bældæg, Beldeg, which shows association with "day", possibly with Day personified as a deity which, Grimm points out, would agree with the meaning "shining one, white one, a god" derived from the meaning of Baltic baltas, further adducing Slavic Belobog and German Berhta.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldr

His wife is Nanna, a mortal, which the story of Baldr and Nanna seems to align with one I know about Helios seducing Clymene (Phaethons mother) ie; spies her bathing naked and falls in absolute love with her beauty.

For her beauty Helios pined, Helios who spins round the twelvemonth lichtgang, and travels the sevenzone circuit [the zodiac] garland-wise - Helios dispenser of fire was afflicted with another fire! The torch of love was stronger than the blaze of his car and the shining of his rays, when over the bend of the reddened Okeanos as he bathed his fiery form in the eastern waters, he beheld the maiden close by the way, while she swam naked and sported in her father’s waves. Her body gleamed in her bath, she was one like the full Moon (Mene) reflected in the evening waters, when she has filled the compass of her twin horns with light.

Menno, here's something about the Prussians (and then click on the little arrow left of my username of my quoted post, and you will come to the page where this post is from, and... please read what went on before and after that post)

The thing with the Prussians is this:

-1- they had developed their own script (like the Frya people);

-2- they were known under many names (like the Frya people);

-3- they traded with Greece, Rome, Scandinavia and England (like the Frya people);

-4- they were 'most humane people' (like the Frya people);

-5- they originally had a female pantheon (3 goddesses) (close to what the Frya people believed in);

-6- they were a pre-Baltic tribe, and later one of those Baltic tribes: "The Balts entered history in the early 2nd millennium BC" (like the Frya people)

-7- before their language shifted to a Finno-Ugric language, they spoke a Pretonic (PrUtonic) language (according to Tacitus) or a language similar to what the Old Frisians, and of course, the Old English spoke.

Makes one think, eh?

.................Pharsii?? Pharismanes??

......................^

......................^

Frisians << Phruisians >> Prussians

......................V

......................V

.................Parisii

.

And I should have added Ptolemy's Phiraisoi to the diagram: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firaesi

If you think about this lego-etymology for a while then someone simply wanted to 'own' the areas occupied by the peoples in the diagram, and then we get countries like: Old Prussia (or the south coast of the Baltic), northern France (area around the river Seine) and England (both inhabited by the Parisii), Persia (Pharsi), Frisia, southern Sweden (the Phiraisoi).

According to standard history, the Frisians came from southern (1750 BC) Sweden and Denmark, and then migrated to other areas to the south, west and east.

Puzz, I am lost again: what are you trying to prove with your post about Balder?

There is no Balder or Nanna or any name similar to be found anywhere in the OLB.

I have said that someone or some people have been cherry-picking from ancient Frisian, Greek and Roman legends.

But I am quite sure they left out the really mythical things, just to make their fabricated story sound sane and believable.

OLB contains descriptions of the Frisian reign before and after the 'aerge tid'. From this text I understand, that the Frisians in the earliest times reigned over the coastal areas from the Baltic Sea in the East to the Mediterranean in the West and occupied the Rhine area from north to south. East-West should be interpreted as shown on the world map of Ptolemaeus. The 'aerge tid' caused the shrinkage of the Frisian territory to Weser till Sincfal (which is the territory usually indicated as the mediaeval Seven Seelands. The OLB refers to a preceding period of time (Celts) and speaks of Flyland, divided into five counties. At the end of this period Friso founded his Frisian kingdom. We have discussed this before, but it did not convince me, that the Frisian territory reached only from the Baltic Sea to the Middle sea (Leeuwarden), because all territory from Middelsea (Leeuwarden) to Sincfal was left out by Abramelin, which has been described in the enumerated counties (Westflyland, Southflyland, Seven Seelanden (here the present province of Zeeland).

Eer de boze tijd kwam, was ons land het schoonste in de wereld. De zon rees hoger en er was zelden vorst. Aan de bomen en heesters groeiden vruchten en ooft, die nu verloren zijn. Onder de grasplanten hadden we niet alleen gerst, haver en rogge, maar ook tarwe, die als goud blonk en die men onder de zonnestralen kon bakken. De jaren werden niet geteld, want het ene jaar was even vrolijk als het andere. Aan de ene zijde werden we door Wralda's zee besloten, waarop geen volk behalve we mocht varen, noch kon. Aan de andere zijde werden we door het brede Twiskland (Duitsland, Land van de Teutonen) omtuind, waardoor het volk van Finda niet durfde komen, wegens de dichte wouden en het wild gedierte. Ten oosten paalden we tot het uiteinde van de Oostzee, en ten westen aan de Middellandse zee, zodat we buiten de kleine rivieren wel twaalf grote zoetwater stromen hadden, ons door Wralda gegeven om ons land vochtig te houden en om onze zeevaarders de weg naar zijn zee te wijzen. De oevers van deze stromen werden bijna alle door ons volk bezeten, ook de velden aan de Rijn, van 't ene einde tot het andere toe. Tegenover de Denemarken en het Juttenland hadden we volkplantingen met een burchtmaagd. Van daar wonnen we koper en ijzer, benevens teer, pik en sommige andere benodigdheden. Tegenover ons voormalig Westland (kustgebied tussen Sincfal en Seine) hadden we Brittannie met zijn tinlanden (Cornwall). Brittannië was het land van de ballingen, die met behulp van hun burchtmaagd weggetrokken waren, om hun lijf te behouden. Maar opdat ze niet terug zouden komen, werd eerst een B. voor hun voorhoofd getatoeëerd, de gebannenen met rode bloedverf, de andere misdadigers met blauwe verf. Bovendien hadden onze zeelieden en kooplieden menige loods (factorij) in de heinde Krekalanden (Italië) en in Lydia. In Lydia (Lybia) zijn de zwarte mensen. Daar ons land zo ruim en groot was, hadden we veel afzonderlijke namen. Die welke gezeten waren ten oosten van de Denemarken, werden Jutten genoemd, [Etym.] uithoofde ze bijna anders niet deden dan barnsteen jutten(aan het strand zoeken). Die welke woonden op de eilanden werden Letten geheten, [Etym.] omdat ze meestal verlaten leefden. Alle strand en kustbewoners van de Denemarken af tot aan de Sandval (Sincfal), nu Schelde, werden Stuurlieden, Zeekampers en Angelaren geheten. Angelaren zo noemde men te voren de buitenvissers, [Etym.] omdat ze alleen met hengelof hoekwant visten, en nooit netten (gebruikten). Die welke van daar tot aan het naaste Krekaland woonden, werden eenvoudig Kadhemers (kustbewoners) genoemd, [Etym.]omdat ze nimmer buiten voeren (maar aan de kade bleven). Die in de Hoge marken gezeten waren, welke aan de Twisklanden paalden, werden Saxmannen geheten, [Etym.] uithoofde ze altijd gewapend waren [met een dolkmes of Sax] tegen het wild gedierte en de verwilderde Britten. [71] Daarenboven hadden we de namen Landzaten, Marzaten en Hout- of Woudzaten.

Chapter XXI: This stands inscribed upon all burghs -1. Before the bad time came our land 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 barley, oats, and rye, but wheat which shone like gold, and which could be baked in the sun's rays. The years were not counted, for one was as happy as another. 2. On one side we were bounded by Wr-alda's Sea, on which no one but us might or could sail; on the other side we were hedged in by the broad Twiskland, through which Finda's people dared not come on account of the thick forests and the wild beasts. 3. Eastward our boundary went to the extremity of the Aster Sea, and westwards to the Middel Sea; so that besides the small rivers we had twelve large rivers given us by Wr-alda to keep our land moist, and to show our seafaring men the way to his sea. 4. The banks of these rivers were at one time entirely inhabited by our people, as well as the banks of the Rene from one end to the other. 5. Opposite Denamark and Juttarland we had colonies and a burgh-femme. Thence we obtained copper and silver, as well as tar and pitch, and some other necessaries. 6. Opposite to us we had Brittania, formerly Westland, with her tin mines. 7. Brittania was the land of the exiles, who with the help of their burgh-femme had gone away to save their lives; but in order that they might not come back they were tattooed with a "B" on the forehead, the banished with a red dye, the other criminals with blue. 8. Moreover, our navigators and merchants had many factories among the Heinde Krekalandar and in Lydia. In Lydia the people are black. 9. As our country was so great and extensive, we had many different names. Those who were settled to the east of Denamark were called Juttar, because often they did nothing else than look for amber on the shore. Those who lived in the islands were called Letne, because they lived an isolated life. 10. All those who lived between Denamark and the Sandfal, now the Skelda, were called Stiurar, Sekampar, and Angelarar. The Angelarar were men who fished in the sea, and were so named because they used lines and hooks instead of nets. 11. From there to Heinde Krekaland the inhabitants were called Kadhemar, because they never went to sea but remained ashore. 12. Those who were settled in the higher marches bounded by Twiskland were called Saxmannar, because they were always armed against the wild beasts and the savage Britne. 13. Besides these we had the names Landsaton, Marsatar, and Holt- or Wodsatar.

Really? But they were sane enough to leave out Friso battling a dragon (which he did, according to legend) or leave out the Red Cliff being a volcano (which was already known to be nothing but some hill and nothing more).

Menno, I am getting really tired of sentences like these: "because all territory from Middelsea (Leeuwarden) to Sincfal was left out by Abramelin".

I have mentioned and discussed that long before you even showed up here.

If you do not know how to use the search tool here (which is bloody obvious to anyone because you repeat stuff many here have discussed to shreds long ago), please ask, and do not assume things.

I have mentioned "Magna Frisia" many times.

This thread started 22th of June 2010.

Just in case you forgot.

Menno, jongen, *I* know how to concoct a hoax, but you will never have a clue in your whole life how to do it.

You take things too literally.

I take the OLB with a grain (no, a bag) of salt.

Believe me, some day I will post the missing part of the OLB, and someone like *you* will take it, hook, line and sinker.

And now I will repeat an idea I had months ago:

We all, Puzz, Alewyn, Otharus, Knul, me, and anyone else able to read the OLB (the original text, not the translation made by Sandbach or a Tony Steele) should get together and publish a new and improved transliteration, and translation into English of the OLB.

For any word we don't agree on we will add footnotes (and no doubt these footnotes will be the largest part of the text, lol).

We need internet space to bicker about that translation.

I have a 'blogspot', and so does Otharus.

I can't talk for Otharus, but I think I can find out how to allow only the ones I mentioned to post on my blogspot.

Maybe it should go like this: I post a transliteration and translation of page -1-, and then all of you add your comments and I will change the text according to all of your comments.

And when we are finished with page -1- of the OLB manuscript, we continue with page -2- .

Btw: your comments should be short and on topic, not a tome about Greek/Roman myths (that's one for you Puzz. Not trying to p*** you off, just suggesting to post as concise as you can manage. Alas, my idea about you is that you shoot with hail, lol. Shoot on target, pls. You know (well, I hope you do) I respect your view on things, but there are many times I have not the faintest clue where your reasoning is leading to).

Tell me what you all think of this idea.

To me it is about time some people get together and post an accurate transliteration/translation of the OLB.

I am getting really tired of reading online about opinions and ideas concerning the OLB, and based on a wrong transliteration/translation (like "Atland" being nothing but Doggerland, or even Plato's "Atlantis". To me it proves mosst people never really bothered to read the original text, they just gobble up what some d*** made out of the OLB).

To stress my point a bit more: if you all want the OLB to be taken seriously, we all should at least make an effort to publish a correct transliteration and translation.

Btw: I know many here will think I am... often a bit off... so if an Otharus or anyone else would want to offer his/her internet-space, it will be perfectly fine with me.

+++++

EDIT:

And if Alewyn wants to add that new and improved transliteration/translation to the third edition of his book, I would not mind at all, and I hope all of you feel the same. It's HIS book that started this thread, and it is HIS book we all read.

Just to stress that I do not 'hate' him (as some people suggested in their emails to me, jeesh).

I do not - and never did - 'hate' anyone participating in this thread.

OK, sometimes the discussion flares up a bit, but guys and girls: we can take that, right? I was brought up as the youngest of 4 brothers; that should give one a thick skin, lol. Yep, I may sound p***ed off many times, but that's just a (what's the right English word??) period.

Firstly Abe, I do not 'want' to attach anything to Egypt etc, it's fairly obvious to me, if we are looking at Neptune, Minerva etc, that these cows with golden corns will relate to the Sun God...or we can forget about any reference that seems to be a Greek/Roman God imo.

The Magyar were like Egyptian priests so it would be likely imo they would share some kind of religious culture - that of the Sun cow. Your golden horns are great but there is no 'ky' attached to them.

Second, my blather on Balder and Freya comes from trying to work out exactly what Frya is, sorry that's going OT - but it all relates to the Juul so is kinda OLB related in the long run. My mission is to see if anything mentioned in Norse inc. language went into other cultures - so my posts may contain references and info that is not interesting to you or seems connected - but it is - that's OK, just bypass it if you like.

3rdly - I think your idea is good for the collection of ideas for a word but I think it would be very hard, since we all have such different ideas. I can be concise when I want to be.

-3- At least we could post a CORRECT transliteration; even that first step was messed up by dear old Ottema.

As far as I know everyone agreed he made many mistakes while transliterating.

And the transliteration is the bases of everything else.

I also think we could agree on the translation into English: instead of translating - for instance - Kadik into Cadiz, we just post "Kadik", we don't say "Mediterranean" but "Middle Sea", and so on.

We leave the interpretation to others, or post what we all think it could mean in footnotes.

-2- I didn't say that what you posted was not interesting to me, I just didn't get your point.

-1- What you thought was obvious is nothing but the intention of those who created the OLB. Even a Knul falls into that trap.

And "ky" is nothing else but Old Frisian and Old Germanic and Old Dutch for 'cows'.

-3- At least we could post a CORRECT transliteration; even that first step was messed up by dear old Ottema.

As far as I know everyone agreed he made many mistakes while transliterating.

And the transliteration is the bases of everything else.

I also think we could agree on the translation into English: instead of translating - for instance - Kadik into Cadiz, we just post "Kadik", we don't say "Mediterranean" but "Middle Sea", and so on.

We leave the interpretation to others, or post what we all think it could mean in footnotes.

-2- I didn't say that what you posted was not interesting to me, I just didn't get your point.

-1- What you thought was obvious is nothing but the intention of those who created the OLB. Even a Knul falls into that trap.

And "ky" is nothing else but Old Frisian and Old Germanic and Old Dutch for 'cows'.

I know that ky is cows, what do you think cows with golden horns is then? I know, you think it means an empty promise - but why would it mean that? I told you the answer. Promising an 'afterlife' or eternal life was not actually going to happen.

Hathor is a solar cow.

Hathor (Egyptian: Ḥwt-Ḥr, "Mansion of Horus"),[1] is an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of love, beauty, music, motherhood and joy.[2] She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as "Mistress of the West" welcoming the dead into the next life.[3] In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth,[3] as well as the patron goddess of miners.[4]

The cult of Hathor pre-dates the historical period and the roots of devotion to her are, therefore, difficult to trace, though it may be a development of predynastic cults who venerated the fertility, and nature in general, represented by cows.[5]

Hathor is commonly depicted as a cow goddess with head horns in which is set a sun disk with Uraeus. Twin feathers are also sometimes shown in later periods as well as a menat necklace.[5] Hathor may be the cow goddess who is depicted from an early date on the Narmer Palette and on a stone urn dating from the 1st dynasty that suggests a role as sky-goddess and a relationship to Horus who, as a sun god, is "housed" in her.[5]

The Ancient Egyptians viewed reality as multi-layered in which deities who merge together for various reasons, whilst retaining divergent attributes and myths, were not seen as contradictory but complementary.[6] In a complicated relationship Hathor is at times the mother, daughter and wife of Ra and, like Isis, is at times described as the mother of Horus, and associated with Bast.[5]

The cult of Osiris promised eternal life to those deemed morally worthy. Originally the justified dead, male or female, became an Osiris but by early Roman times females became identified with Hathor and men with Osiris.[7]

The Ancient Greeks identified Hathor with the goddess Aphrodite and the Romans as Venus.

Considering a Magi type caste were the Egyptian priests, I see no reason why the Magyar were not offering up a Hathor type Goddess to the Fryans.

Puzz, "promising cows with golden horns" is an ancient Dutch proverb.

It means nothing but an empty promise.

And *I* told you that from the start of this discussion about that sentence in the OLB.

Find me another, older, and foreign (= not European) source of that proverb, and you will fail.

It's like the English "hook, line and sinker" saying: you won't find it in any other language or culture.

It became a quote that meant an empty promise, I don't don't doubt that - you do have a history before the Dutch proverb came along you know...think about why it means an empty promise and why it became a proverb that meant that.

It's probably an ancient proverb because as the OLB tells us this is exactly what happened, to Northern Europe, according to the OLB.
