The Amazons vs. the Gorgons

Diodorus Siculus talks extensively about an ancient Amazon tribe that came from Libya that would invade and defeat the Atlantians.  There was another tribe of warrior women called the Gorgons.  The Amazons were distinguished by removing one of their breasts and training for war early in life.  The Gorgons were distinguished by wearing "snakes" in their hair.  The Atlantians made friends with the Amazons, but the Gorgons would not have anything to do with the Atlantians.  A great warrior queen named Myrina was honored by the Atlantians and tricked into fighting the Gorgons.  The large tribes of warrior women fought each other and essentially exterminated each other and thus the Atlantians sat back and rose to power.  Here is what Diodorus Siculus said:

Setting out from the city of Cherronesus, the account continues, the Amazons embarked upon great ventures, a longing having come over them to invade many parts of the inhabited world.  The first people against whom they advanced, according to the tale, was the Atlantians, the most civilized men among the inhabitants of those regions, who dwelt in a prosperous country and possessd great cities; it was amoung them, we are told, that mythology places the birth of the gods in the regions which lie along the shore of the ocean, in this respect agreeing with those among the Greeks who relate legends, and about this we shall speak in detail a little later.

Now the queen of the Amazons, Myrina, collected an army of thirty thousand foot-soldiers  and three thousand cavalry, since they favored to an unusual degree the use of cavalry in their wars.  For protective devices they used the skins of large snakes since Libya contains such animals of incredible size, and for offensive weapons, swords and lances; they also used bows and arrows, and which they struck not only when facing the enemy but also when in flight, by shooting backwards at their pursuers with good effect.  Upon entering the land of the Atlantians they defeated in a pitched battle the inhabitants of the city of Cerne, as it is called,  and making their way inside the walls along with the fleeing enemy, they got the city into their hands; and desiring to strike terror into the neighbouring peoples they treated the captives savagely, put to the sword the men from the youth upward, led into slavery the children and women, and raze the city.

Diodorus continues on with the tale of the rest of the Atlantians giving praise to Myrina, the Amazon queen, and cutting a deal with her to go after another one of their enemies, the Gorgons.

Whereupon the Atlantians presented her with magnificent presents and by public decree voted to her notable honours, and she in return accepted their courtesy and in addition promised that she would show kindness to their nation.  And since the natives were often being warred upon by the Gorgons, as they were named, a folk which resided upon their borders and in general had the people lying in wait to injure them, Myrina, they say, was asked by the Atlantians to invade the land of the afore-mentioned Gorgons.  (Diodorus Siculus, Library of History Volume 2, pages 254-255).

Diodorus continues on with the annihilation of both tribes of women warriors and the Atlantians rising to power.  Does this sound familiar?  It should.  A long time ago, this Atlantian bloodline used women to fight their wars, now they use men.  They induce two enemies to fight each other and annihilate each other while they sit back and breed the other races out.  Bribery and false praise was part of the ruse.  The lesson in this ancient history is, be careful before rushing to war and find out who is really behind it and who will benefit.  Also, the Amazons were white, the Gorgons may have been black women.  The snakes used as armor are probably the reason the current "priests" associated women with snakes.  These Amazon women travelled the world.  Their history has been buried and hidden since it is not "kosher" and conducive to the current powers of the day.  But the same tactics used back then are still used today that allows this bloodline to rule and slay enemies by using other "suckers" to do their fighting for them.  Also note the similarity between the name Myrina and the famous TV character Amazon named Xena.  Perseus and Heracles, the ancestors of the Semites, are credited with exterminating any remaining Amazons.  I guarantee, they don't teach this in the schools, anywhere.

The Scythians

Who were the Scythians?  According to Wikipedia:

The Scythians (/ˈsɪθi.ən/ or /ˈsɪði.ən/; from Greek Σκύθης, Σκύθοι) were Iranian equestrian tribes who were mentioned as inhabiting large areas in the central Eurasian steppes starting with the 7th century BC up until the 4th century AD.^[1][2][3] Their territories during the Iron Age were known to classical Greek sources as "Scythia". Their historical appearance coincided with the rise of equestrian semi-nomadism from the Carpathian Mountains of Europe to Mongolia in the Far East during the 1st millennium BC.^[4][5] The "classical Scythians" known to ancient Greek historians were located in the northern Black Sea and fore-Caucasus region. However, other Scythian groups encountered in Near Eastern and Achaemenid sources existed in Central Asia.^[6] Moreover, the term "Scythian" is also used by modern scholars in an archaeological context, i.e. any region perceived to display attributes of the "Scytho-Siberian" culture.^[5]

Early physical analyses have unanimously concluded that the Scythians, even those in the east (e.g. the Pazyryk region), possessed predominantly "Europioid" features, although mixed 'Euro-mongoloid" phenotypes also occur, depending on site and period.

Numerous ancient mitochondrial DNA samples have now been recovered from Bronze and Iron Age communities in the Eurasian steppe and Siberian forest zone, the putative 'ancestors' of the historical Scythians. Compared to Y-DNA, mtDNA is easier to extract and amplify from ancient specimens due to numerous copies of mtDNA per cell.

In 512 BC, when King Darius the Great of Persia attacked the Scythians, he allegedly penetrated into their land after crossing the Danube. Herodotus relates that the nomadic Scythians frustrated the Persian army by letting it march through the entire country without an engagement. According to Herodotus, Darius in this manner came as far as the Volga River.

During the 5th to 3rd centuries BC, the Scythians evidently prospered. When Herodotus wrote his Histories in the 5th century BC, Greeks distinguished Scythia Minor, in present-day Romania and Bulgaria, from a Greater Scythia that extended eastwards for a 20-day ride from the Danube River, across the steppes of today's East Ukraine to the lower Don basin. The Don, then known as Tanaïs, has served as a major trading route ever since. The Scythians apparently obtained their wealth from their control over the slave trade from the north to Greece through the Greek Black Sea colonial ports of Olbia, Chersonesos, Cimmerian Bosporus, and Gorgippia. They also grew grain, and shipped wheat, flocks, and cheese to Greece.

 Thus, Priscus, a Byzantine emissary to Attila, repeatedly referred to the latter's followers as "Scythians". But Eunapius, Claudius Cladianus and Olympiodorus usually mean "Goths" when they write "Scythians".

 The religious beliefs of the Scythians was a type of Pre-Zoroastrian Iranian religion and differed from the post-Zoroastrian Iranian thoughts.^[50] Foremost in the Scythian pantheon stood Tabiti, who was later replaced by Atar, the fire-pantheon of Iranian tribes, and Agni, the fire deity of Indo-Aryans.^[50] The Scythian belief was a more archaic stage than the Zoroastrian and Hindu systems. The use of cannabis to induce trance and divination by soothsayers was a characteristic of the Scythian belief system.^[50]

A number of groups have claimed possible descent from the Scythians, including the Ossetians, Pashtuns (in particular, the Sakzai tribe) and the Parthians (whose homelands lay to the east of the Caspian Sea and who were thought to have come there from north of the Caspian). Some legends of the Poles,^[61] the Picts, the Gaels, the Hungarians (in particular, the Jassics), the Serbs, Bosniaks and the Croats, among others, also include mention of Scythian origins. Some writers claim that Scythians figured in the formation of the empire of the Medes and likewise of Caucasian Albania.

The Scythians also feature in some national origin-legends of the Celts. In the second paragraph of the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath, the élite of Scotland claim Scythia as a former homeland of the Scots. According to the 11th-century Lebor Gabála Érenn (The Book of the Taking of Ireland), the 14th-century Auraicept na n-Éces and other Irish folklore, the Irish originated in Scythia and were descendants of Fénius Farsaid, a Scythian prince who created the Ogham alphabet and who was one of the principal architects of the Gaelic language.

The Carolingian kings of the Franks traced Merovingian ancestry to the Germanic tribe of the Sicambri. Gregory of Tours documents in his History of the Franks that when Clovis was baptised, he was referred to as a Sicamber with the words "Mitis depone colla, Sicamber, adora quod incendisti, incendi quod adorasti."'. The Chronicle of Fredegar in turn reveals that the Franks believed the Sicambri to be a tribe of Scythian or Cimmerian descent, who had changed their name to Franks in honour of their chieftain Franco in 11 BC.

Based on such accounts of Scythian founders of certain Germanic as well as Celtic tribes, British historiography in the British Empire period such as Sharon Turner in his History of the Anglo-Saxons, made them the ancestors of the Anglo-Saxons.

Now according to Diodorus Siculus' Library of History, the Scythians came from a son born to Zeus and a woman who was said to be partly shaped like a snake:

At a later time, as the Scythians recount the myth, there was born among them a maiden sprung from the earth; the upper parts of her body as far as her waist were those of a snake.  With her Zeus lay and begat a son whose name was Scythes.  This son became more famous than any who had preceded him and called the folk Scythians after his own name.  Now among the descendants of this king there were tow brothers who were distinguished for their valour, the one named Palus and the other Napes. (Diodorus Siculus, Library of History Volume 2, page 27).

Diodorus continues on about how the Amazons eventually came from this tribe after their kings conquered many tribes and the women fought with them.  After a defeat of some of the Scythians there was a revolt and the Amazon Queens took over for awhile.

Now this tribe of Scythians appears to have been the ancient Aryans of Iran and they made their way into Germany and France.  How does this relate to the Ashkenazi Jew?  According to Wikipedia:

The name Ashkenazi derives from the biblical figure of Ashkenaz, the first son of Gomer, and a Japhetic patriarch in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10). Gomer has been identified with the Cimmerians, while the biblical term Ashkenaz here may be an error for 'Ashkuz', from Assyrian Aškūza (A/Is-k/gu-zu-ai/Asguzi in cuneiform inscriptions)^[26] a people who expelled the Cimmerians from the Armenian area of the Upper Euphrates.^[27] This ethnonym perhaps denoted the Scythians, though the identification is problematic.^[27][28] The theory presupposes a scribal confusion between נ/ו(waw/nun), creating A-shkenaz from a-Shkuz.^[29] In Jeremiah 51:27, Ashkenaz figures as one of three kingdoms in the far north, the others being Minni and Ararat, perhaps corresponding to Urartu, called on by God to resist Babylon.^[29

 

Why is it then that Jews seem to be separate of the rest of the Germanic tribes?

Jews from Worms (Germany) wear the mandatory yellow badge.

 

 

 

How related were the Ashkenazi to the  Carolingian kings of the Franks?  Were they just average Scythians who settled in Germania?  I believe they were Scythians, because the original Germanic tribes appear to be Celtic-Iberian and not Anglo-Saxon.

 



 All of our presently available studies including my own, should thoroughly debunk one of the most questionable, but still tenacious, hypotheses: that most Ashkenazi Jews can trace their roots to the mysterious Khazar Kingdom that flourished during the ninth century in the region between the Byzantine Empire and the Persian Empire."^[102] The 2013 study estimated that 80 percent of Ashkenazi maternal ancestry comes from women indigenous to Europe, and only 8 percent from the Near East, while the origin of the remainder is undetermined.^[107] According to the study these findings 'point to a significant role for the conversion of women in the formation of Ashkenazi communities.'^{[10][11][108][109][110][111]}

The conversion of Khazars to Judaism is reported overwhelmingly by external sources and in the Khazar Correspondence, Hebrew documents whose authenticity was long doubted and challenged,^[86] but specialists now widely accept them either as authentic or as reflecting internal Khazar traditions.^{[87][88][89][90]} Archaeological evidence for conversion, on the other hand, remains elusive,^[91] and may reflect either the incompleteness of excavations, or that the stratum of actual adherents was thin.^[92] Conversion of steppe or peripheral tribes to a universal religion is fairly well attested phenomenon,^[93] and the Khazar conversion to Judaism, though unusual, was not unique.^[94][95

Beginning in the 8th century, Khazar royalty and notable segments of the aristocracy converted to Judaism; the populace appears to have been multi-confessional—a mosaic of pagan, Tengrist, Jewish, Christian and Muslim worshippers—and polyethnic.^[15] A modern theory, that the core of Ashkenazi Jewry emerged from a hypothetical Khazarian Jewish diaspora, is now viewed with scepticism by most scholars^[who?], but occasionally supported by others. This Khazarian hypothesis is sometimes associated with antisemitism and anti-Zionism. 



 

 

 

As far as the anti-Semitism part, you can't claim that since Askhenazis are not semites, so the argument above is ridiculous.  I believe the Askhenazis came from tribe of the Khazars who came from the Scythians who came from Zeus and a mysterious maiden of their tribe described as "snake-like".  Was she Asian?  We don't know for sure, but the snake and dragon imagery are prominent in Asian culture.

Ares and the Amazons

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ares_Canope_Villa_Adriana_b.jpg

The Greek God Ares was the God of war and one of the Olympians.  His mother was Hera and his father was Zeus.  He was known to be a fierce, unforgiving warrior and he was the patron god of he Amazons.  His daughter was Hippolyta, a queen of the Amazons.

In Greek mythology, Hippolyta, Hippoliyte, or Hippolyte (Ἱππολύτη) was the Amazonian queen who possessed a magical girdle she was given by her father Ares, the god of war. The girdle was a waist belt that signified her authority as queen of the Amazons. She figures prominently in the myths of both Heracles and Theseus. As such, the stories about her are varied enough that they may actually be about a few different characters.^[1]

The Cronides and the Amazons

 

Discover the story of a family that not only changed the world but ruled over it. They were called the Cronides because they came from Rhea and Cronus. Their people were also called the Atlantians by the ancient Greek scholar, Diodorus Siculus. Their bloodline travelled the world and ruled as the Merovingian kings, the Tuatha De Nanann, the Pharaohs, the Caesars, the Czars, the Semites, the Greeks, the Italians, the Irish, the British, the Cretans, the Milesians, the Europeans, the warriors of the Siouian people of America, the Aztec and Incan royalty, the Japanese royal family, the Chinese royal family, the Abrahamic Priests of Zeus, and probably Genghis Khan. Their mystery schools, symbols, and archetypes permeate the world. The author, Rita Jean Moran, has dedicated many years to tracking down this family and their hidden story.

The ancient writings of Diodorus Siculus and many others describe the ancient world in detail.  During the time period of this family (who were Celtic Iberians), probably between 16,000 to 17,000 years ago, many armies of women ruled and travelled the world.  They were referred to as Gorgons and Amazons.  The Gorgons resided in Libya and would invade the villages of the Atlantians and the Amazons resided in the ancient world of Scythia.  The Atlantians made alliances with Myrina, (rhymes with Xena the Warrior Princess from Hollywood) the Queen of the Amazons, and asked for help against the Gorgons.  The two large groups of women warriors (over 30,000 Gorgons and tens of thousands of Amazons) fought it out and Amazons and Gorgons both took heavy losses.  The power of the Atlantians grew, as their Gorgon enemies were wiped out, and the Amazon women became their allies.  Some of the Olympians (Ares and Poseidon) mated with Amazon Queens.  Athena used them in battle.  Unfortunately, the pay back for their loyalty to the Atlantians by the Amazons, included being attacked and wiped out by the ancestors of the Semitic bloodlines, Perseus and Heracles.
