Introduction To Thrace

Thrace is the land south of the Danube river. Hence is was the start of the European trade route. The word Thrace, from ancient Greek Thrake (Θρᾴκη), home of the Thracians (ancient Greek Thrakes Θρᾷκες). The name Europe (ancient Greek Εὐρώπη), also at first referred to this region, before that term expanded to include its modern sense.

Thracians were regarded by ancient Greeks and Romans as warlike, ferocious, bloodthirsty, and barbarian. Plato in his Republic groups them with the Scythians, calling them extravagant and high spirited; and in his Laws portrays them as a warlike nation, grouping them with Celts, Persians, Scythians, Iberians and Carthaginians. Tacitus in his Annals writes of them being wild, savage and impatient, disobedient even to their own kings. Strabo treated the Thracians as barbarians, and held that they spoke the same language as the Getae (a people north of the Danube). Some Roman authors noted that even after the introduction of Latin they still kept their "barbarous" ways.

Several Thracian graves or tombstones have the name Rufus inscribed on them, meaning "redhead" – a common name given to people with red hair which led to associating the name with slaves when the Romans enslaved this particular group. Ancient Greek artwork often depicts Thracians as redheads. Rhesus of Thrace, a mythological Thracian king, was so named because of his red hair and is depicted on Greek pottery as having red hair and a red beard. Ancient Greek writers also described the Thracians as red-haired. A fragment by the Greek poet Xenophanes describes the Thracians as blue-eyed and red haired:

In 279 BCE, Celtic Gauls advanced into Macedonia, southern Greece and Thrace. They stayed there until 200 BCE before moving on to found their own kingdom of Galicia in Anatolia, apparently moving to get away from the looming conflict between Rome and the Seleucid empire. Thrace did not come under full control of the Romans until 149 BCE.

Thracian Hunter of Emotions 500's BCE

(November 29, 2024) Image is of a boar hunt. The text is about not using emotion magic to affect the connections of the life-network, that is, killing the use of emotion magic for that application. Only the life source god Alu (God) can affect those connections which bring light, heat, and rain.

So in this image the boar represents emotions. If this identification is general throughout ancient Druid culture then it would explain the animosity of the Israelites toward pigs. The ancient Israelite were devoted to the life powers and saw all motion powers as dangerous. Except for the Phoenician, most of the Mediterranean believed in a balance between the two. The Phoenicians were devoted to the motion powers.

The letter style of this text is Aegean Island dating it to about 500 BCE. It does not seem to have been translated before now.

Translation in Akkadian (Med Text 67)

(read left to right. Capital letters on object. Small letters are inferred Inner vowels. Verbs are italic bold, Dual use letters are E/H, I/Y, U/W, and '/A in which vowel appears at beginning of words except for Yahu which is keeping its traditional Hebrew transliteration) 
  1. Ku Ya Zu ENu. KaBu Ya A. Ku A TaRu. ALu E'u E
  2. ......I'u MaṢu Nu Mu

In English

  1.  Don't involve the emanations (light, heat, rain) with reassignments (of link connections in the life network). Don't seed the emotion-owls with those. Involve those with motion-changes. Alu makes ineffective Yahu/Yahweh (E').
  2. ...... Yahu (I') can enable the revelations of fertility-fluids.

Thracian Lion Ibex Jug 340-300 BCE

(December 1, 2024) This silver and gold just from Trace contrasts order and disorder. The lion represents the sun and life/fertility powers. The Ibex represents prosperity. When a lion attacks prosperity a drought is occurring. The goddess with a bow is Greek Artemis or Druid Selu/Selene representing motion/emotion powers. Prosperity occurs when the 2 powers work together.
