Apol Posted February 6, 2013 #2427 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hello Apol, Nice blog, nice images. I am reading it, just for fun, in a automated Portuguese translated version which was available. I wonder if you could tell me where i can find information on the ship's drawing, at the beginning of your blog. I remember once having seen that image (looks to me like a cave painting from the Paleolithic)... is it? Thanks in advance, Regards, Mario Dantas Thank you, Mario and Puzz, for your compliments. Puzz is right, the heading of my website is a Scandinavian Bronze Age ship petroglyph - from Bjørnstad in Skjeberg close to Sarpsborg, Southeast Norway. I have borrowed it from the book Anton Wilhelm Brøgger and Haakon Shetelig: Vikingeskipene – Deres forgjengere og etterfølgere (Dreyer forlag, Oslo, 1950). It is also published in English: Anton Wilhelm Brogger and Haakon Shetelig: The Viking Ships (Twayne Publishers Inc., New York, 1971). I have tried to paste the photo into this blog, but I don't know how to do it. Maybe someone of you can tell me, or maybe it isn't possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apol Posted February 6, 2013 #2428 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Maybe these two: I thought those islands are a little too big for that purpose - I have an idea that the ancient seafarers wanted smaller islands, but maybe I'm wrong. The name Carnonacae has certainly to do with KÊREN.ÄK - maybe also the name Caereni. I have pondered a lot about this topic since you posted your map, and my opinion so far, is, that the area of the Carnonacae is the area where the Gola/Gauls fled after ÂSKAR chased them out from their burgh, which I think was Lindisfarne.

The Puzzler Posted February 6, 2013 #2429 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) I have this book, Prehistoric Heritage which the picture is also in, you can get it on Amazon here for a couple $$. Read the review, it's a great book, written by a person with an avid interest rather than a scholar, I find this, as the reviewer did, refreshing and an interesting way to look at it all. The book is FILLED with these petroglyphs. You just don't see them anymore in newer books, not this many. I bought the book 2nd hand because it had so many images like this. All through Europe. I'm sure any of you would find it a worthwhile read. http://www.amazon.co...uk/5symbols.php Edited February 6, 2013 by The Puzzler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Puzzler Posted February 6, 2013 #2430 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Her tongue was nimble so maybe this word is closer to her name meaning: (rather than just speak or anything to do with her dark words) If you have a nimble tongue you are a chatterer. kal-t-er-Æe 1 und häufiger?, afries., F.: nhd. Geschwätz; ne. chatter (N.); E.: s. kalt- ia; L.: Hh 141b SO I don't think she was poetical dark and mysterious or shrieking, shouting - I do think she was chattering with her nimble tongue dark words, meaning opposite of Nyhellenia's words, Kaltas were tinged with darkness (evil). Also Herodotus mentions the Dodona oracle speaking all chattery, like birds. Edited February 6, 2013 by The Puzzler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Puzzler Posted February 6, 2013 #2436 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatti The Chatti (also Chatthi or Catti) were an ancient Germanic tribe whose homeland was near the upper Weser.[1] They settled in central and northern Hesse and southern Lower Saxony, along the upper reaches of the Weser River and in the valleys and mountains of the Eder, Fulda and Weser River regions, a district approximately corresponding to Hesse-Kassel, though probably somewhat more extensive. According to Tacitus,[2] among them were the Batavians, until an internal quarrel drove them out, to take up new lands at the mouth of the Rhine Nico Roymans has suggested that the Chatti developed in proto-history from "complex, multi-ethnic origins" and were likely part of a "considerable local continuity of settlement and material culture". He considered the society was made up of all sorts of older tribes as well including the Eburoneans Edited February 6, 2013 by The Puzzler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will be etymologically (or at least the same meaning ie; Rum/spacious) related so don't use that one on me. You yourself have used Old Norse in the past to explain words in the OLB. The verses of the skalds contain a great profusion of kennings, the fixed metaphors found in most northern European poetry of the time. Kennings are devices ready to supply a standard image to form an alliterating half-line to fit the requirements of dróttkvætt; but the substantially greater technical demands of skaldic verse required that these devices be multiplied and compounded in order to meet its demands for skill and wordplay. These images can therefore become somewhat hermetic, at least to those who fail to grasp the allusions that lie at the root of many of them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skald The skalds also employed complex kennings in which the determinant, or sometimes the base-word, is itself made up of a further kenning: grennir gunn-más “feeder of war-gull” = “feeder of raven” = “warrior” (Þorbjörn hornklofi: Glymdrápa 6); eyðendr arnar hungrs “destroyers of eagle’s hunger” = “feeders of eagle” = “warrior” (Þorbjörn Þakkaskáld: Erlingsdrápa 1) (referring to carnivorous birds scavenging after a battle). Where one kenning is embedded in another like this, the whole figure is said to be tvíkent “doubly determined, twice modified” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenning Hermeticism in poetry, or Hermetic poetry, is a form of obscure and difficult poetry, as of the Symbolist school, wherein the language and imagery are subjective, and where the suggestive power of the sound of words is as important as their meaning.[1] The name alludes to the mythical Hermes Trismegistus, supposed author of mystic doctrines composed in the Neoplatonic tradition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeticism_(poetry) Now this is fun: oudnoors kilting, kjalta [rok] / Old Norse kilting, kjalta [skirt] http://www.etymologi.../trefwoord/kilt Old Norse kilting "shirt," kjalta "fold made by gathering up to the knees". http://www.etymonlin...searchmode=none .

NO-ID-EA Posted February 6, 2013 #2438 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Have been re-reading some books by L.A.Waddell..........he is of the opinion that the British Khatti / catti are one and the same people as the Mediteranian Khatti / catti from around Cilicia , and that they were Phoenicians , who were called by the Greeks/Macedonians as Hattians/Hittites ...Khitti and Khatti being the name they called themselves . By trying to find more info on whether the Frisian are also the Phrygians......... it was also mentioned that the name Phrygians came from the name Bryges , and that because of dialectic differences the Macedons used the sound Bry,Bri and Bhry , whereas elsewhere in asia minor they used the sound vry , vri and vhry, and also pry , pri , and phry , maybe in scandinavia and the area of Britain we used a different dialectic sound of fry, fri and fhry .. This B,V,F,P switch often seems ( though obviously not always ) to mean "of" as i think in names like Pindus mountains , being P = "Of" Indus mtns , and in names like Parmenian , which i think just means "of " Armenia .... and maybe names like Vercingetorix meaning "ov" or "of" Erse (ancient name for Ireland ) As i think Bretons , Britons and Frisians were all one people , possibly with Scans as well i have often wondered why we do not see many peoples /tribes with the start of their names being Fry or Fri in Britain , but on reading Waddell , i wonder if the Fri has become Bri and the Brigantes are the Frisians/Phrygians in Britain Note for Abe ... in the Phrygian language Ates is Fathers , and fates of fathers , or of the fathers , the name Cananfates could be the land of the Cananite fathers ??

Abramelin Posted February 6, 2013 Author #2439 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I think Waddell as a source of information is a bit outdated: The Phoenician Origin of Britons, Scots & Anglo-Saxons by L. A. Waddell (Williams & Norgate, 1924; 2nd ed., 1925) http://www.jrbooksonline.com/waddell.htm And they now know more about the Phrygians than during Waddell's time. Some words from the Phrygian language will be similar to some words in Nordic languages, but that is based on them being Indo European languages. The Phrygian language is most closely related to the Greek language, having a shared origin, but it still doesn't resemble Old Frisian at all.

Abramelin Posted February 6, 2013 Author #2440 Share Posted February 6, 2013 If we are restarting the discussion about the Chatti, then this is one of my old posts about them: Because of the Cananefates and the Batavi, plus the -CH-/-C-/-H-/-G- shifts, I started looking a bit deeper into the tribe they had split off from: the Chatti. And with that I will try to show you what you can 'prove' with nothing but - what I love to call - wordfk. This will be a long and winding post, so I will start with a copy of the last sentence: "Chatti/Catti/Cenni/Cananefates/Knn-Canan/Phoenicians/Katwijk/Kadvik/Kaduik/Kadik/Cadiz and so on." Chatti a Germanic tribe. At the time of Julius Caesar (midfirst century B.C.) the Chatti formed one of the Suevi tribes. Later, the Chatti were numbered among the Franks. The last mention of the Chatti dates from the end of the fourth century. The Hessians, for whom the Land of Hesse was named, were descendants of the Chatti. http://encyclopedia2...onary.com/Catti The next is a link to a German site about te Chatti. Just check the words in red. But this remark, "Sprich nicht "Katten, Schatten" oder gar "Tschätten", sondern "Hatten" oder tatsächlich "Chatten" [xatən] mit /ch/ wie bei ach" I will translate: "Do not say "Katten. Shatten" or even "Tshetten", but "Hatten" or actually "Chatten" [xatən] with /ch/ as in LoCH Ness. (= the Dutch, Semitic and Scottish-Gaelic gutteral consonant, like you are coughing up a bug that's stuck in your throat)" http://www.heinrich-...volk/chatti.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatti http://books.google....i catti&f=false CHATTI Eth. CHATTI or CATTI (Eth.??tt??, Eth. ??tta?), one of the great tribes of Germany, which rose to great importance after the decay of the power of the Cherusci. Their name is still preserved in Hessen (Hassen). They were the chief tribe of the Hermiones (Plin. Nat. 4.28), and are described by Caesar (Caes. Gal. 4.19, 6.10) as belonging to the Suevi, although Tacitus (Germ. 30, 31) clearly distinguishes them, and that justly, for no German tribe remained in its original locality more permanently than the Chatti. We first meet with their name in the campaigns of Drusus, when they acquired celebrity by their wars against the Romans, and against the Cheruscans who were their mortal enemies. (Tac. Germ. 36, Ann. 1.55, 12.27, 28; D. C. 54.33, 36, 55.1, 67.4, 5; Tac. Hist. 4.37, Agr. 39, 41; Flor. 4.12; Liv. Epit. 140; Suet. Domit. 6; Frontin. Strat. 1.1; Plin. Paneg. 20.) The Romans gained, indeed, many advantages over them, and under Germanicus even destroyed Mattium, their capital (Tac. Ann. 1.56), but never succeeded in reducing them to permanent submission. In the time of the war against the Marcomannians, they made predatory incursions into Upper Germany and Rhaetia (Capitol. M. Anton. 8). The last time they are mentioned is towards the end of the fourth century. (Greg. Tur. 2.9; Claud. Bell. Get. 419.) After this they disappear among the Franks. Their original habitations appear to have extended from the Westerwald in the west to the Saale in Franconia, and from the river Main in the south as far as the sources of the Elison and the Weser, so that they occupied exactly the modern country of Hessen, including, perhaps, a portion of the northwest of Bavaria. Ptolemy (2.11.22) places them more eastward, perhaps in consequence of their victories over the Cheruscans. The Batavi are said to have been a branch of the Chatti, who emigrated into Gaul. Some have supposed that the Cenni, with whom the Romans were at war under Caracalla, were no others than the Chatti (D. C. 77.14); but this is more than doubtful. (Comp. Zeuss, Die Deutschen u. die Nachbarstämme, p. 327, foll.; Wilhelm, German. p. 181, foll.; Latham, Tac. Germ. p. 105, foil.) http://www.perseus.t...ntry=chatti-geo Now check this thread, from post 10 and onwards: 2) The name "Chatti" is obviously Germanic, before the first Germanic sound shift (Grimm's Law), the name would have been something along the lines of *Kaddi. http://www.eupedia.c...in-amp-Gascogne Keith-1: The family of Keith, Marischal of Scotland derives its origin from the Catti, people of Germany, bordering on the Saltus Hircinus [the Hercynian Forest]. [ . . . ] in the time of Tiberius they were entirely routed by Germanicus. On this overthrow part of the Catti submitted to the Roman yoke, in order to retain their possessions in their native country, which is now subject to the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel who [ . . . ] designs himself Princeps Cattorum. But the most part, under the conduct of their leader Battus, left their native country and settled about the mouth of the Rhine, from whence that country was named Batavia --In the reign of Corbredus II sirnamed GaIdus, the Batavian Catti sent acolony to Britain. Being separated in a storm, part of them arrived in the Thames10, and the rest were driven to the northern parts of Scotland, and landed in that part called Cathness; which name took its rise from Catti [ . . . ] They remained in possession of the lands for upwards of 900 years, and spread out in several branches through the Highlands, which are at this day distinguished by several sirnames, such as Keith, Sutherland, Clanmhurich or Macpherson, Macgillivray, Etc. under the general denomination of Clan Chattan. The ancient name of Chatti, or Catti, came in time to be changed to Kethi, Keycht, and more lately to Keith, the present name of this ancient family. http://www.clan-macp...nts/alang10.pdf Katwijk, Dutch equivalent of Chadwick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chadwick Chadwick is a English surname, and appears to mean "from Katwijk" The name "Katwijk" probably has its origins in the name of a Germanic tribe called the Chatten (Chatti). The Dutch word "wijk" means "area", so the name probably meant something like "the Chatti area". In Romans times, Katwijk was a place of strategic importance. It was located at the Roman Empire's northern border, at the mouth of the Rhine river, which in Roman times was larger in this area than it is today. There was a good deal of traffic along the Rhine. Katwijk was also a jumping-off point for the voyage to Britain. Built during the reign of Emperor Claudius (41-54), the town's name was Lugdunum Batavorum. The town's name was later associated with the name of the city of Leiden, but this is now thought to be incorrect. In 1231, the first reference to Catwijck appeared in records. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katwijk Keith-2: The history of the Chatten or Catti before living in Hesse is quite shrowded. Some claim that they descend from phœnician traders, and even from the Tribe of Gad. What happened to them after the Rome arrived in germaniæ historicæ is even more interesting. Those who stayed became part of Germany under Roman rule. Some bravehearts moved on. From the College of Arms, London, England, is an extract from a work on the origin of names about the Keith clan: "This family derive their descent from the Chatti, or Catti, now Hesse, a tribe of Germans, who dwelt in what is now called Hesse-Cassel, and whose name ... is preserved in Katzenfort, Katzenburgh, etc., Germany. About B. C. 100, a part of this tribe descended the Rhine, and settled in Batavia or Holland, where the name is also maintained in Katwijk aan Zee, Katswoulde, etc." During the reign of Corbred the second, King of Scotland, circa A. D. 76, a part of these Catti emigrated to Britain, some of whom, called Fordun, "Catti Meliboci," were driven to the northern parts of Scotland and landed in that part called Kateness, or Caithness; i.e. Catti's promontory. The Celtic name for that district is "Catt taobh," Catti's side; and the inhabitants are styled "Cattich." Caithness is also called "gall taobh," "Stranger's side, way, or shore." The first of the tribe named by the Senachies is Gilli Chattan Noir, chief of the Catti, temp. King Alpine (A.D. 831-834), from whom descend the Kethi, Keychts, Keths, or Keiths; and also the MacPhersons, Sutherlands, etc., known under the general name of Chattan Clan. The ancient title (Celtic) of the Earls of Sutherland is "Morfhear chat," Lord Cat; literally Greatman Cat." The 17th century English/Scottish historian, Sir Robert Gordon stated, "In the year of Christ four score and two, there arrived {in Scotland] a great company of Germans named "Catti", a valiant people of mighty bodies who were banished out of their native land for killing of a Roman general. At their first arrival, their captain went onshore to spy the land, when he was suddenly invaded by a company of monstrous big wild cats that much molested the country. The fight between them was cruel, yet in the end he killed them all. From thence the thanes and earls of Catti, or Sutherland, even unto this day do carry on their crest or badge, above their arms, a cat sitting with one of its feet upwards ready to catch his prey." He continued, "There is not a rat in Sutherland. And, if they do come thither in ships from other ports, which often happeneth, they die presently as soon as they do smell the air of that country." Whatever the fate of rats in the area, there is tradition that after landing in the north of Scotland, the Catti named the area of Caithness and their chief married the daughter of the Pictish King Brude. Robert, the chief of the Catti in 1010, fought against the Norsemen. He slew Comus, the Viking leader of the invaders, and thus gained a complete victory, for which Malcolm II gave him the lands of Keith in East-Lothian. He was succeeded by his son Robert, who also fought against the Norsemen in Fife. Somewhat later on the 7th of November, 1324, Robert I. granted a charter of the lands of Keith Marischal to Sir Robert Keith and his heirs, and the office of Great Marischal of Scotland, on account of his support against the English -- but then I have far departed from my task, which should focus on Hessen and what happened to the people who did not depart Roman rule. http://larocheusa.org/deutsch1.htm Chatham: There are several theories as to the origin of the name Chatham. It was first recorded as Cetham in 880, its name coming from the British root ceto and the Old English ham thus meaning a forest settlement.[1]. The origin of the word 'Chatham' may have come from the same root as Catti or 'Chatti' named after people who immigrated to Britain.[2]. An alternative explanation is that it comes from two Saxon words cyte, a cottage, and ham, a village: a village of cottages [3] . The Domesday Book records the place as Ceteham. http://everything.ex.../Chatham,_Kent/ Back to the Dutch coastal town of Katwijk. Could it be "Kaddivik" or "Kadvik"? That's a short step to "Kaduik", and from there to the OLB "Kadik"... Isn't it funny that some claimed the Chatti may have been a Phoenician tribe?? ("The history of the Chatten or Catti before living in Hesse is quite shrowded. Some claim that they descend from Phœnician traders, and even from the Tribe of Gad.") In medieval times the name of Cadiz, a city settled by the Phoenicians, was spelled like "Kadix" (Kadiks). And what name did others claim these Chatti were also known by? Cenni: "Some have supposed that the Cenni, with whom the Romans were at war under Caracalla, were no others than the Chatti (D. C. 77.14); but this is more than doubtful." Doubtful? Who cares, right? The Phoenicians called themselves Knn, or Canan. And then we are back at the Cananefates again, heh. No saying all this is true, but if I can fabricate all these 'connections', so could others.

NO-ID-EA Posted February 6, 2013 #2441 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well that is your opinion Abe ....I think that a lot of them like Waddell and Higgins made the study of these subjects a lifes work , and put in far more time and study into writing a book than people do these days , and they seem to have had much older reference material to draw on than seems to still be in print today. but hey-ho each to his own opinion. i also like some of Waddells theories that Brutus...BRT un-aspirated ties in with Barat (Barrat is a popular surname in Britain ) and he thinks that the era of the Maha(Great) Barata (BRT..Britons) ......and that the Mahabarata , concerns phoenicians , Hittites , and Britons (Poss Frisians/Phrygians/Brygantes) in India. Although Waddell never mentions OLB from what i have read , he manages to tie up in his books , the three main areas which the OLB says is part of the history of the Frisians...............and i have mentioned before that Higgins thinks the people of Judah were from Gouda in India , where the first sect of Brahman came from , and that i think Abraham is really a Brahman............however i expect we will both go on searching in our own ways , and lean whichever way we want .

It is also published in English: Anton Wilhelm Brogger and Haakon Shetelig: The Viking Ships (Twayne Publishers Inc., New York, 1971). I have tried to paste the photo into this blog, but I don't know how to do it. Maybe someone of you can tell me, or maybe it isn't possible Apol, Thank you for all the links you provided, there is a load of good material. I made some research on the web with the key words you referred (petroglyphs, Bronze Age, etc) and i got plenty of beautiful images of old ships: https://www.google.cv/search?q=Bronze+age+petroglyphs+norse&hl=en&tbo=d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=VqESUbT-GsW2hQey3YCwCw&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAA&biw=1366&bih=682 Regards, Mario Dantas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Gorp Posted February 10, 2013 #2450 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yes, dim words - words that were not clear, to conceal her lack of clearsightedness. ---------------- I want to present for you writing on this blog my bright new website, containing my translation into Norwegian of the Oera Linda Book: https://oeralindaboka.blogspot.com It is certainly in Norwegian, but you may get some help from the Translator down right.... Nice site Apol. Btw, your wife maybe calls Adèle ;-) What do you and other contributers think of the people called 'Finna' in OLB? I was pondering about the ressemblance in various descriptions with the Prussians and Goths. In some dialect to take 'pride' (fier zijn) is called 'preus' -> Prussians ;-). Those Finna seem to me some perfect match for a mix of Goths, Prussians and Puriteinen. Thaet folk nêth navt ênis en nôme, thrvch vs send hja Finna hêten, hwand afskên hjara fêrsta algadur drov aend blodich send, thach send hja thêr alsa fin vp, that wi thêr bi aefter stâne, forth ne send hja navt to binydane, hwand hja send slâvona fon tha presterum aend jeta fül aerger fon hjara mêninga.
