B.C. 1600: The Hyksos In America

The great mainland, by which the great ocean is encircled, while not so far from the other islands, is about five thousand stades from Ogygia, the voyage being made by oar, for the main is slow to traverse and muddy as a result of the multitude of streams. The streams are discharged by the great land-mass and produce alluvial deposits, thus giving density and earthiness to the sea, which has been thought actually to be congealed. On the coast of the mainland Greeks dwell about a gulf which is not smaller than the Maeotis and the mouth of which lies roughly on the same parallel as the mouth of the Caspian sea. These people consider and call themselves continentals and the inhabitants of this land because the sea flows around it on all sides; and they believe that with the peoples of Cronus there mingled at a later time those who arrived in the train of Heracles and were left behind by him and that these latter so to speak rekindled again to a strong, high flame the Hellenic spark there which was already being quenched and overcome by the tongue, the laws, and the manners of the barbarians. Therefore Heracles has the highest honours and Cronus the second.

Plutarch


The above passage appear’d in Plutarch’s‘On the Face appearing in the Orb Of the Moon‘ & describes ancient contact between North America & Europe long before even the Vikings set foot in ‘Vinland.’ The key passage reads, ‘with the peoples of Cronus there mingled at a later time those who arrived in the train of Heracles. A number of scholars both old & young have speculated on the Atlantic voyages of Heracles, based on his passing through the straits of Gibraltar, which were named after him as the Pillars of Heracles. Then, heading to Corunna on the coast of northern Spain, one comes to the tower at ‘Brigancia’, known in pre-Christian times as the ‘Tower of Hercules.’ What scholars do not do, however, is then place Heracles in America, despite the evidence from Plutarch.

By tying what we know about Zeus & his supposed father, to Plutarch’s ‘Orb of the Moon‘ account, we come to a natural conclusion that a first wave of immigrant Greeks – the peoples of Cronos – had settled in the New World, with a second coming with Herakles, c.1600 BC. The latter influx leads us to the first major civilization of Mesoamerica, the “mother culture” of the Mayans & the Aztec, known as the Olmeks. Historians have remarked on how a complete & sophisticated civilization of artists, engineers & astronomers just seemed to spring up out of nowhere. From deposits at the El Manati shrine (near San Lorenzo) the earliest date for the Olmeks has been given as 1600 BC. That very narrow time-band fits perfectly to a group of Hyksosean colonists pitching up in the New World. Case solved, but lets see if it’ll stand up in court.

The negroid facial features of the collossal Olmec statue heads indicate a connection to Africa, which makes them being a part of a Hyksos empire a sound prospect. In his book, Exodus Lost, Stephen Compton has indeed identified a Hyksos colony in Mesoamerica. Comparing contemporaneous art & architecture, he tells us ‘all of these features exist(ed) among the Hyksos before they suddenly appeared at San Lorenzo.’ Compton also highlights Tlillan-Tlapallan – “the land of black and red, of wisdom” – & shows it as a literal translation of the ancient Egyptian name for Egypt, Kemet Deshret.

The Olmecs built the first pyramids in America, reflecting their Egyptian origins. With the Hyksos springing from central Asia, when a joint expedition of Russian and Uzbek archaeologists discovered several ancient pyramids in Uzbekistan, these flat-surfaced, 15-metre high constructions, at least 2,700 years old resemble those found in Central America.

There is even epigraphical evidence, of sorts. The inheritors to the Olmec hegemony in Mexico, the Aztecs, have a foundation tale which places their original homelands at a place called Chicomoztoc, from which play they & six other tribes settled “near” a paradise island in a lake called Aztlán. This is an obvious match for the Atlantis of Plato, but for now lets simply record the name Chicomoztoca, which means ‘place of the seven caves’ in Nahuatl, the language of the early Aztecs.

According to the Codex Aubin, the Aztecs were subject to a tyrannical elite called the Azteca Chicomoztoca. A trained chispologist sees something in the name, & in the following a babel-chain, the only significant philochisp is changing the ‘m’ to a ‘kh.’

C-hico-m-ozt-oca
C-heqa-m-ozt
heqa m-ast-
heqa m-asut
heqa kh-asut

All babel-chains need support, & heqa khasut just so happens to be the Egyptian name for the Hyksos, another tyrannical elite which would explain how the Atlantis story travelled across the Atlantic in the first place, via the Hyksos empire

In 1600 BC the Hyksos were the defacto controllers of the Mediterranean. Archeology tells us that at the time Seuserenre Khyan, our Hyksos emporer, was sending gifts to brother kings, including the Minoan leadership at Knossos on Crete. This gives us a definitive cultural link to the Minoan script, Linear A, which shares numerous similarities to the script of the Olmecs. The hyperbasis at the language of Linear A is related somehow to a Mesoamerican language cannot easily be ignored

If we see Scythia as the homelands & main trunk of the Hyksos anthrotree, then Egypt & America are branches. another branch grew into India, & we shall investigate this in more detail in the Aryan Invasion chapter. I have combined these branches under an umbrella term – The Hyksosean Stream – & we can see a clear cultural tally between India & Olmec civilisation. In each one we can see the connection between India, Egypt, America, 1600 BC – & the Hyksos are the common glue. The correlations include;

Yoga, as depicted via several different asana on numerous Olmec figurines & statues.

The Olmecs also established the ritual use of conch-shell trumpets to announce the presence of the gods – a practice still followed in Hindu and Buddhist religious ceremonies.

The Olmeks also had a diety with an elephant’s head just like the famous Ganesh of India, & also some of the earliest depictions of the Egyptian god, Horus. There is an Egyptian relief, for example, which shows Apap swallowing the water & the light of the world, fighting an elephant-headed Horus who is attempting to make him disgorge what he had swallowed.

At the Museum of Anthropology in Jalapa, Mexico, one can see an Olmec altar supported by a pair of dwarves with upraised hands. In India, on both Hindu & Buddhist temples, these dwarf figures called “ganas.”

A similar dwarf icon in ancient Egypt known as Bes, the protector of the household and of childbirth. He is depicted below a cornice at the Denderah Temple complex, which suggests that he played a similar function of supporting the temple in Egypt.

There is a depiction among Olmec imagery of the Hindu-Buddhist Kalamukha, a monster face which hangs over shrines & temples, with foliage being sculptured either side of the entrance. The lower jaw of the monster is absent, which creates the impression of being devoured by the Kalamukha as one enters.

I would now like to show what I believe to be the very first ever mention of Mexico, 2000 years before the panish conquistadors besieged the Aztec capital, México-Tenochtitlan, in 1521. Before then no-one really knows its origin, although the Codex Aubin says that after leaving Aztlan, on the road their god Huitzilopochtli forbade them to call themselves Azteca, telling them that they should be known as Mexica. Reading the myth with a chispological eye indicates that the Aztecs were simply moving to Mexico where they would have to be called, well, Mexicans.

In the Asiatic Society Researches, Volume 11, published in 1808, Major F. Wilford states in his paper ‘An Essay on the Sacred Isles in the West’, “….various etymologies are given of the name of the city of Mexico, the true pronunciation of which is Machico.’ This leads us to Claudius Aelianus, or Aelian, who about 200 AD related a discourse recorded six centuries earlier by Theopompus, between Midas the Phrygian, and Silenus. It reads;

Amongst other things, Silenus told Midas that Europe, Asia and Africk were Islands surrounded by the Ocean : That there was but one Continent onely, which was beyond this world, and that as to magnitude it was infinite : That in it were bred, besides other very great Creatures, Men twice as big as those here, and they lived double our age : That many great Cities are there, and peculiar manners of life ; and that they have Laws wholly different from those amongst us : That there are two Cities farre greater then the rest, nothing to like each other ; one named Machimus, Warlike, the other Eusebes, Pious : That the Pious people live in peace, abounding in wealth, & reap the fruits of the Earth without Ploughs or Oxen, having no need of tillage or sowing. They live, as he said, free from sickness, and die laughing, and with great pleasure : They are so exactly Just, that the Gods many times vouchsafe to converse with them. The Inhabitants of the City Machimus are very Warlike, continually armed and fighting : They subdue their Neighbours, and this one City predominates over many. The Inhabitants are not fewer then two hundred Myriads : they die sometimes of sickness, but this happens very rarely, for most commonly they are kill’d in the Wars by Stones or Wood, for they are invulnerable by Steel. They have vast plenty of Gold and Silver, insomuch that Gold is of less value with them then Iron with us.

So one simply has to ask oneself, does the 4th century BC city of Machimus anything to do with Machico? The Olmek were definitely still a prominent force in that period. That they were ‘very Warlike, continually armed and fighting : They subdue their Neighbours, and this one City predominates over many,’ finds a tally in Olmec art. In the book ‘The Olmec World,’ Ignacio Bernal writes, ‘on Altar 4 of La Venta a human figure bound by a cord suggests a captive. Monument C at Tres Zapotes shows scenes of war & combat. A trophy head is probably represented on Stela A from Tres Zapotes & on Stela D a kneeling figure also suggests that he is a victim of conquest.’ The representation of an obsidian-edged sword would indicate the same, while from stelae A & D of Tres Zapotes we know that the Olmecs possessed lances & knives. For me Machico & Machimus are the same.

Since the 1900s, Mexican scholars have noted that the Nahuatl language is derived from Sanskrit. Even the word Nahua derives from the Sanskrit word for “sailor:” Nava or Navaja. I’ll just give you a few extracts from the excellevt essat ‘On Nahuatl & Sanskrit’ by Juan Miguel de Mor.

One of those intellectuals, the foremost in this regard, established interest-ing comparisons between Sanskrit and the language spoken througout the Aztec Empire before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors and which is still spoken in various parts of Mexico : Nahuatl. This student of the language of Kãlidãsa was Doctor Gumersindo Mendoza… and in 1878 published his Estudio Comparativo entre el Sánscrito y el Náguatl (Comparative study between Sanskrit and Nahuatl ) in Mexico – In eight tables or charts, Mendoza compares one hundred and seventeen Sanskrit words with an equal number of words in Nahuatl… Mendoza states in his study – suffices to be able to see clealy that the two languages recognize the same basis the same stem of the human species : the first – he refers to Sanskrit – carried to the highest degree of perfection from time immemorial; the second, when the conquerors reached this land, was still in a state called by philologists the state of agglutination or that of semi-flexion.

Mendoza begins with ap which, according to Monier-Williams, Benfey, Renou, Stchoupak and others, means ” water, air, waters personified ” in Sanskrit and which lie compares with the Nahuatl a pantli which is ” current, canal, irrigation channel Similarly apano is, in Nahuatl, •« to cross a current of water “

Kuharat in Sanskrit, is the name of a serpent. It is compared by Mendoza to koatl or kohuatl , ” snake ” in Nahua

Ikshana, “a look, view, aspect, sight” (MW) in Sanskrit ; ixco-ixtth 11 face, countenance, by extent ion : eye ”

Mekala , the name of the river Narma-dã ( Nerbudda ) in India, is compared to Mexcala , the Nahuatl name of a river in the state of Guerrero in Mexico

Makha, ” a sacrifice, sacrificial oblation ” ( MW ) ; tlamacazki ” priest, minister of the cult, from the root maka ” in Nah

Toya, ” water ” ( MW ) in Sanskrit ; toyaua , ” to spill, the spreading of water ” in Nahuatl.

As we travel along the Hyksosean stream, we shall be alerted to the Hebrew chisper being present in places like Iberia & Hibernia. Similarily, one of the oldest civilisations of North america called themsleves the Quivira, which philochisps into ancient Indo-Phoenician word “Kheeberi” or “Khyberi” as whiel also present in the Khyber Pass of Afghanistan.

To finish the Hyksos in America chapter, I’d like to show its relevance to the Atlantis myth. For me, Plato’s accoount is the definitive Gordian knot of a chisperball, but a Hyksos connection to the Mexican Atzlan gives us a philochisp, & the following segment from Plato – among differing pieces one might add – supports the babel-chain. For me it tells the story of teh rise & fall of the Hyksos in the Meditarranean.

Many great and wonderful deeds are recorded of your State in our histories; but one of them exceeds all the rest in greatness and valor; for these histories tell of a mighty power which was aggressing wantonly against the whole of Europe and Asia, and to which your city put an end.

This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic was navigable; and there was an island situated in front of the straits which you call the Columns of Heracles (the Strait of Gibraltar, known as the Pillars of Hercules): the island was larger than Libya and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands, and from the islands you might pass through the whole of the opposite continent which surrounded the true ocean; for this sea which is within the Straits of Heracles is only a harbor, having a narrow entrance, but that other is a real sea, and the surrounding land may be most truly called a continent.

Now, in the island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire, which had rule over the whole island and several others, as well as over parts of the continent; and, besides these, they subjected the parts of Libya within the Columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia (Italy).

The vast power thus gathered into one, endeavored to subdue at one blow our country and yours, and the whole of the land which was within the straits; and then, Solon, your country shone forth, in the excellence of her virtue and strength, among all mankind; for she was the first in courage and military skill, and was the leader of the Hellenes.

And when the rest fell off from her, being compelled to stand alone, after having undergone the very extremity of danger, she defeated and triumphed over the invaders, and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjected, and freely liberated all the others who dwelt within the limits of Heracles.
