These First Notes Are Sythian Related.

                                 These Notes Are Sythian Related       

                

                I have read of Scythians being called Sckathians and also Sakas. 

    

                Sckathians did not eat pork. They did grow wheat.

                I believe that the plural of Saka can be Saki. Saki are closely associated with Persians. The may also have ad a close relation with Jews. I do not know the relative dates of theses associations and relationships, but they may have occurred within the first 400 years AD. 

                Scythians were around for a long time. They were many. They  have been called nomades of grassland. They were horsemen. They moved around the grasslands from about 800 BC to 300 AD. Some of them may have become Jewish not so far from 300 AD. 

                Scythians also seem a lot like the early Persians on the Silk Road. They rode well, designed and  made a variety of wagons. Some of those wagons were horse drawn and most were drawn by oxen. They were excellently mounted bowman and warriors. Their culture may have be more equalitarian than most, including in gender relationships. They liked gold and worked very well. They had an Iron Age culture. 

             I suspect that there may be evidence that some Scythian woman warriors trained Irish warriors. 

        

                Scythians are related to Parthians.

                

                Danann and Scythian may have arrived in Ireland in time to meet one another.

Phoenicians:

                Carthaginians were Phoenicians. How many got to the New World?

                Phoenicia" once applied to the whole eastern Mediterranean. There was a Phoenician colony in Britain,. They were frequent visitors to Ireland and perhaps regular ones. There were Phoenician colonies around the Med and elsewhere. I suspect many members of the tribe of Dan traveled and worked with Phoenicias as fellow traders. They also fought Romans with a few Irishmen and a few of them arrived to the walls of Rome.

            American Indians:

            Write something on each of the following: Texas Indians(14), Seminole In 13, Cal Indians, SW Indians.

                The Great Year is defined as "One complete cycle of the equinoxes around the ecliptic which takes about 25,000 Earth years."

                An equinox is one of the only two times of year when at a location on Earth day and night are if equal time. This true ai all latitudes. It occurs do to the position of the Earth's axis. It is when the axis tilts neither toward or away from the sun. It's when both Northern and Southern Hemisphere experience nearly equal amounts of daytime and nighttime. It is a time when the sun passes directly over the equator an event which occurs only twice a year.

                Imagine the plain of the Earth's equator. You are a magician and are holding  a ball size earth in one hand. I your other hand you hold a sheet of paper capable of passing perfectly through the earth at it's equator without a wrinkle. You make that pass and stop when the paper has equal portions of the Earth on either side. Your paper is now at the plain of the Earth. If you are now circling the sun with your Earth and the paper extends straight toward sun and passes directly through the center of the circle formed by the orbit of the Earth, you are experiencing an equinox.

                If someone says "So?" You can say, "So, The movement of the Earth's plain relative to the Sun is what causes our seasons." With this knowledge we can develop a calendar which predicts the occurrence of our seasons.

                Our ancestors use the GC to imagine and watch the signs of  the Zodiac and to use them as a teaching tool for the great and the small.

            These "new note" will be moved and combined with other more appropriate notes.

In Reference to a Timeline Item Comment

History With RCS :In Reference to  Gerry Art's Comment to post 2,660 BC to 2,400 BC in reference to metal work of the period.

                I will tell what I can about the metal work of that period. The post centers on 2,500 BC which marks the a high point of the the Bronze Age of most of Europe, much of North Africa, and nearly all of the Near East. That is much of Europe, the Mediterranean and beyond was enjoying the Bronze Age, which to some has seemed a golden age. 
    

                I am pleased to be able to say that during this period Ireland was one of the most productive miners of gold and the producer of of some of the finest gold work. Some of the gold work which marked Ireland of this period were the following: Lunulea, a form of collar; torcs, a kind of neck piece which bent firmly around the neck, they were strikingly handsome; gorgets, they were a sort of chest piece or breast piece and often the most beautiful and intricit of these items. It may have been used to hold articles of dress in place. Rings and a large number of other items were also produced in gold.

                I am speaking of Bronze Age Gold work. But much fine gold work in an early age when much copper was mined and worked well before the Bronze Age. 

                I seem to be forming my remarks here almost entirely around Ireland, but a Bronze Age was occurring around much of the world.

                It has been said that there was a Bronze age in Ireland from 2500 BC to 500 BC. I believe that there is now important evidence of important Bronze work being done in Ireland by 2,700 BC. I am also fairly sure that an Iron Age had already begun in Ireland 600 BC.

            Let me include that the Bronze Age in Ireland and Beyond was preceded by the neolithic period, which we might call the New Stone Age. The Bronze Age was followed by the Iron Age. I traumatic change in much of the world.

                In the neolithic period gold and were both already mined and worked in Ireland. Fine work was produced in small quantities. Silver and lead were probably also mined and worked in small quantities.

                It seems that I had Ireland on the mind when I began this piece.

                Ireland entered the Bronze Age as a major miner and worker of Gold. In that Bronze Age a variety of bronzes were founded. Nearly all of them were an alloy mostly of copper but always with a portion of tin. I do not recall the usual proportions just now. How- ever there was bronze produced using arsnic in the place of tin. The tin was used to make the copper stronger, more resistant, and harder than copper. It also turned out to be a sort of stainless copper with the look of gold!

                Tin was both mined in Ireland and imported to Ireland. A sort of metal alchemy was begun which employed mercury, lead, arsnic, silver, gold and other elements. The mining, smelting and working of tin and copper to make bronze was a sophisticated process. 

                The Iron Age in Ireland as in Europe, North Africa, the Near East and beyond was begun by a new people who proved to be many. These people knew horses well. They knew the processes of mining, smelting and working iron. They made iron swords which cut through bronze weapons. They dominated Bronze Age people nearly everywhere. They were able to dominate cultures which were in many ways superior to theirs. At times they recognized this. They brought a new language, they brought it to Ireland and it became the mother of all the language spoken there for over two thousand years. It is the Gaelic which is still spoken in parts of Ireland. English is the dominate language on the Island today. English too is born of that Iron Age language.

                So, what are the Bronze age metals: gold, silver, copper, lead, arsnic, mercury, tin, and certainly more known by some. Bronze, a metal alloy made by man, and still one of the most beautiful and useful metals made by man and one of the least toxic if not made with arsenic. The alloy named an Age. We have much more to learn of the Bronze Age.
