Thats not correct most of ancient Greek deities originated in Mesopotamia


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anu

The actual Greek mythology seems to be based around Mesopotamian mythology. There are also interesting parallels to Nordic mythology. Anu is basically Odin and Teshub(also known as Tharun) is basically Thor.

The mythology of Greeks, Egyptians, Hurrians and Hittites concerning Anu is identical.They are based on the same historical source, so there's no doubt they describe the same historical event.

The original source was REAL HISTORY. The Greeks made this history into the
 Titans. The Hittites and Hurrians made it into theirs, and the Egyptian kept the most 
accurate record and that became Atlantis.

Pausanius quotes the Thebans by saying that before Cadmus Greece was
inhabited by the Ectenes. The Hittites called the Ectenes the Ekwash. In
 Linear-B it become Eqetai. Solon made them into the Atlanta's. After the Ectenes were destroyed by plague the Hyantes and Aones tribes 
inhabited the land. Hyantes = Giants and Aones = Agiones = Ancients which
 was the title of the Gods and also become Ionians and Aegean's/Achaeans.

Ouranos was a historical Greek king, a Titan of the Ectene tribe. His adoption into IE would have to have been after 1750 BC which is when Ouranos actually reigned over Greece, Asia-Minor, Phoenicia, India as Varuna. Aphrodite was his daughter and queen of Cyprus and Kythera.

The rulers of Atlantis were equivalent to the
 Titans and they ruled over all of Europe and Asia which means that the
 Hittites were a subject race to the Greeks and this was the Ectenes Greek tribe. The myths of the Hittites, the Hurrians, the Titans and Atlantis all cover the same period and events in exactly the same order. They all originated form the same source. They were base on the history of the Greek Kings prior
 to the Thera Erruption. ie the Period of Atlantis.

The Greek deities did not originate from Mesopotamia! They were real historical kings.

You have to understand that Zeus, Deus, Anu, Anax, Karanos, Cronos, Taru, Ares etc all have one thing in
common. They are the TITLES of kings.

Anu was the title for Lord and has in
 Proto-Indo-European root which is the same as the root of the number one. The root is Wa-na-ka and Anu
 derives from a corrupted form of Wa-nu. Wa-na which is also the name of
Io who Herodotus calls Ioun.

So the Assyro-Babylonian Anu had no relation to Greek Ouranos unless his mythology was dreamed up later than 1600 BC.

Now ask yourself why the Sumerians and Babylonians worshiped kings who had Greek titles such as Anu, Innana, Ea, or Tammuz, which is the Greek word Demos, meaning the people and why Adamos, is
 the GREEK conjugation of Demos to denote One of the people. The entire religious
 system of Mesopotamia was based upon the memory of a Greek speaking monarchy.

"Di-wa-na" is not only the root of Diana, but it is
also the root of the Sumerian goddess Inanna and the Babylonian Annat
(Di-wa-na-ka). ONLY the GREEK and specifically Linear-B rendering of the
name gives you the common root of all three goddesses names. Just like Io
and Luna, Diana, Inanna and Annat were moon goddesses. Ever wonder why all the names of the Assyro-Babylonian gods can be reduced
to Greek ?They were all Greek speaking kings and queens.

Gia, is the same name as Io or Ioun, and Luna and is clear the title of a
 Queen. Pontus the son of Gia, is nothing more corruption of Pandion, again the
common name of a King and can be shortened to Deus or Theos. Ouranus, Chaos, and Chronos are all corruptions of Caranos, yet again the
common name of a King, and meaning Head.

The name Herakles is nothing more than a corruption of Wa-na-ka-le-u-(s) or
in modern Greek "Anax Laos" meaning King of the People. His previous name
Palaemon or Wa-na-ka-da-ma-(s) in modern Greek is "Anax Demos" also meaning
 King of the People. This not only proves the continuity of Herakles name but 
it also proves that Hera is yet another personification of Gia, Io (Ioun)
and Luna. She was no goddess by a Queen.

The title Di-wa-na-ka-da-ma-(s) or Di-wa-na-ka-le-u-(s) ie. "Deos Anax
Demos" and "Deos Anax Laos" continued to be used through Greek history in
the form of Deukalion, Cadmus, Herekles, Anaxander, Anaxsileus, and
 Alexander.

The Greeks borrowed the cults of the Gods and their epithets from the Egyptians. Virtually all of the Egyptian deities were versions of Tammuz. The myth of Osiris was based on that of Tammuz. Aton was Tummuz in the form Atummuz which is the Greek word Adamos or man. Amon was Tummuz in the form Atummun which is the Greek word Adamon or man. There is NO question about Aton and Amon being Greek since only in Greek are
words conjugated by using the endings "o", "os" and "on". Thoth was also Tummuz in the form of Potamos which is the Greek word for
River and the original form that Tammuz took since the cult was built around
 the annual flooding and drying up of the river Euphrates.

And even the Egyptians said that the Greek civilisation predated that of the
Egyptian by 1000 years, or have you not read Plato.

The planting seasons in Mesopotamia and Egypt
depended on the flooding cycles of the Euphrates and Nile and these could
 only be predicted by taking constant measurements of water levels and the
extent to which the irrigation canals were being used. This was the basis of
the Potamos or Tammuz river cult which is the father of all religions. No
 water for irrigation, no cops.

It is natural to infer upon the king with the attributes of a storm god since the king was responsible for determining the most appropriate time when to sow the harvest and when to wage war, usually in between harvests.

Enil was a storm God, Enil El Ellada derive from shiny one. Even the Phoenician Kronos name Elys is the name given in the bible for the eponymous ancestor of the Greeks, Elysa the son of Javan.

Greek speaking people were there before the Sumerians because they left traces of their langaue behind in the names of the Gods. The titles of their Gods were Greek not the other way round.


There were at least 4 Hercules all of them were Greek, including the God Hercules of the Phoenicians as opposed to Greek hero Hercules, and the Egyptian Hercules. They all were related and had the same descend.

The Egyptian Hercules (Aegyptus) was a composite of Tutmoses I, II, and III hence his extremely long lifespan, and his geneology was from Io, Epaphus and the greek dynasty that ruled Egypt.

The Greek Hercules was descended from Egyptian Hercules who was descended from Argus.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epaphus

Epaphus was son of Zeus[3] and Io[4] and thus, Ceroessa's brother.[5] With his wife, Memphis[6] (or according to others, Cassiopeia[7]), he had one daughter, Libya[8] while some accounts added another one who bore the name Lysianassa.[9] These daughters later became mothers of Poseidon's sons, Belus, Agenor and possibly, Lelex to the former and Busiris to the latter. In other versions of the myth, Epaphus was also called father of Thebe,[10] who was mother of Aegyptus[11] and Heracles[12] by Zeus. Through these daughters, Epaphus was the ancestor of the "dark Libyans, and high-souled Aethiopians, and the Underground-folk and feeble Pygmies".[3]

The names of the Gods came from Egypt and their epithets and associations with the forces of nature. According to Herodotus the names and epithets of the Greek Gods and their cults were brought to them from Egypt at about the time of the Deukalion flood. This corroborates Plato and Solons account of the Egyptian origin myth of Atlantis which covers the same period and events as the reign of the Titans. The Egyptians recorded the military readiness and leaders of all the surrounding people for obvious reasons and when the pre-Thera eruption civilisation was destroyed and its records along with it, the Egyptians were the only source of its history.

At the time of the Thera Eruption, Apis or Epahpus II otherwise known as
 Sarapis or Apepi II ruled Egypt.

Sarapis is a contraction of the name of the Hyksos king Awoserre Apepi(s) (SerreApepis) who was the Greek king Apis of Argos hence Awos(serre), ie. Re of Argos (with the r and gamma of Argos being corrupted to w in hieroglyphics).

His cousin Epaphus apears as Apachnas, ie. Seneferankhre Apepi. Sarapis was succeded by Agenor as king of lower Egypt and Palestine, ie. Aqenienre Apepi (hence Agenor) or Janins in Manetho ie. (A)qenien(re).

According to Porphyry the Greek and Phoenician gods were one and the same. Saturn, Kronos and El were all the same person, a Cretan king who ruled over the whole of Italy, Greece, Phoenicia and Palestine and who had dominion over Egypt where he put Tuthus/Thoth/Hermes (Dudimose or Tiamus in Manetho) in power. Agenor was a king of Phoenicia as well as a Greek king.

According to Herodotus the Greek religion was created by the Greeks of Egypt when they made contact with their fellow Greeks after the Thera Eruption and the Great deluges that followed, and brought their religious rights to Greece which already acknowledged the Gods as their own ancestors.

Danus introduced to Greeks the mysteries of the Egyptian Gods to the worship of the Greek kings. Before then Greeks had no religion, and Greeks simply guarded the tombs of their mortal kings. Thus the worship of Zeus as practiced by the Greeks was virtually identical to the worship of Amon as practiced by the Egyptians. That is why these gods were syncretised. Nobody ever claimed that the stories concerning Zeus and Amon were the same. Similarly the worship of the other Greek gods was also based on the worship of the other Egyptians gods who there were identified with. Dionysus was identified with Osyris, Demeter with Isis, and so on. On the other hand in the cased of Kronos and Ouranous the stories concerning there were seen to be virtually identical with the stories concerning the Phoenician gods El and Baal-Shamen and it was the records of these gods brought to Greece by Cadmus after he left Egypt that the names of the gods were taken from and the stories of their deeds. Zeus reigned at the exact period that Egyptian Pharao Sheshi reigned in Egypt and there archeological artifacts that show Greek presense in Egypt from 1700 BC. Sheshi and Zeus was the same person. So was Cronos (Saturn) and Ouranos. We know these kings were born in Greece.

The reigin of Argus and the foundation of the Argolid dynasty corresponds exactly to the end of the Hyksos rule in Egypt. From Jerome we know that Aegyptus reigned over Egypt in 1480 BC, 6 years before Danaus his brother ruled in Argos.

So the names of the Gods only, meaning their epithets and ritual associations. How can Zeus have come from Egypt when he was buried in Crete. And don't forget Zeus ruled Egypt from Greece during the 15th Dynasty.

The important thing is that these "Egyptians" were Greek by decent fro the time of the 15th Dynasty. Herakles was the son of Amphytrian the son of Alcius brother of Electryone father of Alkmene and the son of Perseus the grandson of Acrisius the son of Abas the son of Lynceus the son of Sanus the son of Belus son of Lybia daughter of Epaphus son of Io daughter of Inachus king of Argos.

From Herodotus we know that the cult of Poseidon was imported from Lybia and applied to a pre-existing Greek deity (defied king). Poseidon was the husband of Libya the daughter of Epaphus. Hasn't it yet dawned on you that the Libyans where white. Libya was a Greek colony established in 1650 BC. The Pharopah Epaphus, which is an exclusively Greek name was Apepis I and he was succeeded by his cousin Sarpis the king of Argos, ie. Apepis II who the Egyptians accepted was of Greek origin and worshiped as a God ! Of course, you have neglected to quote the parts of Herodotus which confirm all that.

The Greek religion was descended from an Ancestor cult. In about 1480 BC Tutmoses III (Aegyptus) who was of Greek descend, established diplomatic relationswith Greece and there was an exchange of cultures. As a consequence the rituals associated with Egyptian deities were transferred to the kings of Greece including the ancestor cults of the Cronid kings of Crete. The first Greek kings to formalise the worship of Zeus were Lycaon of Arcadia and Cecrops of Athens. It probably started out as their own personal cults while still alive but they would have acknowledged the divinity the Cretan king
Saasitepis (who also ruled over Egypt as Sheshi) as Zeus in order to gain popular support by associating themselves with him.

Belus

Epaphus fathered Libya who by
 Poseidon was the mother of Belus the father of Danus and Aegyptus, and to
 Agenor the father of Cadmus and Europe. They were all Greeks. So was Nilus.

Egyptians worshipped Apis the king of Argos as a God and a Greek Pharaoh of Egypt. Their own records show that Epaphus (Apepi I) and Apis (Apepi II) were Greek Hyksos kings who ruled Egypt at exactly the same time the Greek historians always said they did at the time of the Thera Eruption which brought about the Ogygian Deluge.

Seneferankhre Apepi I was Epaphus grandson of Inachus, Awoserre Apepi II was Apis/Sarapis king of Argos and Aqenienre Apepi III was Agenor.

Agenor and his son Cadmus (Chna, Canaan in Phoenician) who was ruler over Sinai and Palestine weren’t Canaites, but they came from Sinai and before that from Greece. He migrated north to where Lebanon is today and named the entire land Phoenicia after himself.

Given that he was an Argive Greek which we know for a fact since he was the son of Agenor (Aqenienre Apepi III) the son of Epaphus (Seneferankhre Apepi I) the son of Io and cousin to Sarapis (Awoserre Apepi II) it is probably that the name Phoenix is a corruption of the Mycenaean term Wanakas (Wanax/Anax) where W is the same as Digamma or F.

Three Tutmeses's rulled one after the other and Greek historian merged them all into the same person when refering to Aegyptus. From Jerome we know that Aegyptus reigined over Egypt in 1480 BC, 6 years before Danaus his brother ruled in Argos.

In fact it is most likely that in the same way as the Greeks merged all the Tutmoseses into one Aegyptus the poem Phrygia which is the ultimate sources of the account of Zeus/Osyris and Hercules merged all the Tutmoseses into one Hercules and he waited 13 years to avenge the death of Osyris/Zeus, or rather, his son Hercules or Tutmoses II was the actual avenger.

Further more when ancient British and Irish historical texts are taken into consideration, such as Nennius and The Book of Invasions which placed the kings Hisrau/Esru, Esraa/Sru and Ra/Sera reigning one after the other starting in around 1500 BC and ending in about 1425 it is likely that these too are all references to Tutmoses I, II, III or Hercules reigning over the British isles just as Hercules ruled over France, Spain and Italy at about the time of Tutmoses II and before him Osyris or Jupiter Iustus ruling over Italy.

Tutmoses I was Herakles Aegyptus after Akheperkare Djehutymes

[Akhep]Erkare is Herakare = Herakale(s) = Herakles

Djehutymes is Adjehu-tye-mes = Aegy-pt-mus = Aegyptus

And that fits perfectly with Herakles from travels of Noah.

The fact that Kawaftaw Amenhotep I and the Djehutymes I-III use names that can be derived from Aegyptus by phonetic corruption indicates that they are all of Greek origin.

But a lot of the etimologies and the greek gods are based on the Proto indo european gods Zeus can be compared to Jupiter or Thor as Deities Zeus would come from the Proto indo european Deiwos if i remember well but im sure that were some Kind of cultural influence in old greece from egyptian but no Religous at least not Notorious

There was no such thing as a proto-Indo-European religion. The so called IE religion religion was concocted at the time of the Thera Eruption Mega Tsunami based on the conquest of Europe, Egypt, Palestine and India by Uranus, Kronos, Zeus and Dionysus. It can be traced back to day one by archaeology. All Indo-European religion as well as the Phoenician religion is derived from those events and the worship of the kings and generals who participated in them. They are all based on the conquest of Europe, Egypt, Palestine, and India by Minoan Greek kings.

The Hindu gods are exactly the same as the Greek gods and the Norse gods, because India was ruled over by Uranus (Varuna or Buri) since 1740 BC and succeeded by Kronos (Brahma or Borr in about 1705 BC) and Zeus (Deyus 
Piter or Ve) in about 1680 BC. In about 1520 BC Dionysus also conquered 
India.

The Norse gods were also historical kings just like the Greek gods and in fact the same entities as the Greek, Hindu and Phoenician gods since the Vanir were the Greek gods and Buri was Varuna or Uranus. The Greek Gods lived before 1760 BC and the Norse Gods about 70 BC and were synchronized with the Greek Gods.

The arrival of the Indus civilisation corresponds to the time of the Minoans and to the time of the evolution of the J2
linage in Greece. That is who the Indians worship as their earliest Gods the Minoan Greeks. Varuna is Uranus, Brahma is Kronos and Deyus Piter is Jupiter or Deus Pateras (Zeus the Father).

The gods of the Greeks were their past kings and those of the Jews, Phoenicians, Hurrians, Romans and Hindus and even the Vikings were the same entities as the gods of the Hyksos period who were Minoan kings who ruled over Palestine, Egypt, Crete and Troy. That is what the historical consensus is and always has been.

The Romans didn't have any old Gods. Read Ovids Metamorphosis and compare it to Apollodorus. Everything in the Roman religion relates to Greek history,people and places. The entire system was brought to Rome by the Greeks because Italy was ruled by Uranus and Chronos and they brought their ancestry cults with them. The rituals may have been borrowed from the Tammuz cult but the Gods were not borrowed. Even the Cybele cult was an ancestor cult since the Romans originated from Troy.

mainstream terminology is "GREEK MYTHOLOGY" , but there is not a greek mythology....

[chinshen]

You forgot to mention that the Greeks were the ancestors of Neanderthals too since you didn't leave out anyone that you didn't claim that they were descendant from Greeks.

[zebruh]

Wrong. Herodotus explicity stayes that most greek gods were of Egyptian origin

[zebruh]

Also the judeo christian god yahweh is Equivelant to the god hesphasteus i believe in canaanite religion as Jews are a subset of Canannite religion

Ah nvm I miss read. Thought you said something else.

All the people in Greek mythology lived in their own time. There was no
 importing people who were dead into other peoples stories unless they were
 Gods who have been defied or it is made clear that they were dead. Not were
 people imported from the future.

Only the first 160 years of the Greek chronology refers to the time of the Gods. There
 is still over 500 years worth of history concerning Mortals. Nobody could have calculated the dates of the only 3 total solar eclipses
that were visible over the Aegean during the Heroic Ages at the time when
Homer was writing. There was no NASA then.

The numbers of years of Herakles labours and campaigns is given by the
 Ancients. The age of his wife is given and so is the ages of his son Hyllus.
Homer gives the duration of the Trojan Way and the Odyssey and 10 years each.
Thucydides gives the time from the end of Trojan war to the victory of the
 Heraklids.

Even Herakles existence as a God is recorded in the inscription of Assyrian king Tiglath Pilaser I in 1110 BC (using the full Greek spelling of the name) which was the time that the Heraklidae concurred the Peloponnese and ruled Lydia.

200 Greeks city states had rulers and citizens who claimed descent from the gods and heroes and could prove it along with
historical records, burial sites and religious rites which all agreed with those of every other city state as to who lived at which time, who was descended from whom and their common deeds including battles which each city state took part in with other city states some of which where on opposites sides of the Aegean. I am not talking about a set of texts that consist of just Homer and Hesiod but over 100,000 separate historical texts less than 5% of which survive today, and this is just for Greece. If we include Rome and Europe then multiply that by 10, and there is not one single contradiction among and of them and we know that since the 5% of texts that survive today contain their epitomies and all show a single common source, the actual historical events themselves.

There were records of births, marriages and deaths, there were records of tax receipts, there were records of military deployments, records of trade, records of everything. No one ever disputed the ancestry of the kings of any of the Greek city states because there was an entire body of public records available which proved their ancestry to the same degree as that of the British royal family today.

Herodotus wrote roughly 1000 years after Dionysus lived, the same time between the present and William the Conqueror. The Theban royal family from which Dionysus was descended from survived to the time that Herodotus was writing and beyond and Herodotus was able to verify their claims when he refers to the killers of Hippias. Dionysus' skeleton existed and was buried at Delphi just like the skeleton of William the Conqueror survives today and its burial site is known.

The majority of the gods, the Cretans say, had their beginning in Crete and set out from there to visit many regions of the inhabited world, conferring benefactions upon the races of men and distributng among each of them the advantage which resulted from the discoveries they had made. According to the myth which the priests give, the gods had their origin in Crete, and were led by Zeus to Panchaea at the tme when he sojourned among men and was king of the inhabited earth… it has been their practice, in corroboration of these claims, to point to inscriptons which, they said, were made by Zeus during the time he still sojourned among men and founded the temple… Now Zeus, the myth goes on to say, surpassed all others in manly spirit and wisdom and justice and in the other virtues one and all, and, as a consequence when he took over the kingly power from Cronus, he conferred benefactions of the greatest number and importance upon the life of mankind. He was the first of all, for instance, to lay down rules regarding acts of injustice and to teach men to deal justly one with another, to refrain from deeds of violence, and to settle their differences by appeals to men and to courts of justice. In short, he contributed in abundance to the practices which are concerned with obedience to law and with peace, prevailing upon good men by persuasion and intimidating evil men by threat of punishment and by their fear…[/b]
Diodorus Siculus[/b]

Zeus.According to the third century BC Euhemerus, Zeus had been a majestic, but very mortal, law-giver who had been deified into the greatest god of the Hellenic pantheon.

Zeus is said to have been born on Crete – at Mount Ida – & was also buried on the island. ‘ The classical writer, Porphyry, claimed that Pythagoras once inscribed an epigram on Zeus’s tomb, reading ‘Zeus deceased here lies, whom men call Jove.’
The full passage reads;

Going to Crete, Pythagoras besought initiation from the priests of Morgos, one of the Idaean Dactyli, by whom he was purified with the meteoritic thunder-stone. In the morning he lay stretched upon his face by the seaside; at night, he lay beside a river, crowned with a black lamb’s woolen wreath. Descending into the Idaean cave, wrapped in black wool, he stayed there twenty-seven days, according to custom; he sacrificed to Zeus, and saw the throne which there is yearly made for him. On Zeus’s tomb, Pythagoras inscribed an epigram, “Pythagoras to Zeus,” which begins: “Zeus deceased here lies, whom men call Jove

That Zeus had been given a human burial was not a unique situation among ancient deities, for the graves of other gods such as Dionysis, Apollo, Poseidon, Isis & Osiris are mentioned elsewhere in classical literary sources. Over time, the tomb’s location seems to have been lost. Varro placed it at Mount Ida while Lactantius, quoting from the Sacra Scripto of Ennius, places the grave at Knossos.

“Later Cretan tradition", writes Sir Arthur Evans," has persistently connected the tombof Zeus with Mount Juktas, which rises as the most prominent height on the land side above the site of Knossos” According to Nonnus, Apate used to stay on mount Dikte “by the false tomb of Zeus.” This was possibly confirmed as the true site in September 1415, when the clergyman Cristoforo Buondelmonti discovered a cave in the north of the mountain containing a great tomb, whose epitaph contained "letters totally effaced."

According to Greek tradition, Zeus had a son called Epaphus, or Apis, which is a neat chispological match for Seuserenre’s successor in Egypt, Apopi. This man was the son of another pharoah called Seuserenre, & from the first four letters of his name we can immediately see the etymological origins of Zeus as being a transchisperal shortening of Seuserenre. The previous king to Seuserenre was Sakir-Har, ie Cronos, the mythological father of Zeus.

Where Diodorus Siculus places Zeus on the throne of Egypt & gives him the title of ‘ King of the Entire World,’
so the Egyptan pharoah Seuserenre (according to WilliamC Hayes) ‘concocted for himself the Horus name, ‘Embracer-of-regions,’ suggesstive of world-wide domination.

Seuserenre’s full name, whose official title, ‘Rule of the Foreign Land,’ has been found on seals all across the Near East, connecting with the Josephius portrayal of the Hyksos as ‘men of ignoble birth out of the eastern parts.’ The same inscription was also found upon an alabaster jar-lid discover’d at Knossos, the ancient Minoan capital on Crete near to the tomb of Zeus itself.

Securing the Zeus was an Egyptian Hyksos pharoah hyperbasis, according to Gaius Julius Hyginus, Zeus ‘bade Epaphus whom he begat by Io, fortify the towns in Egypt and rule there. First of all he founded Memphis, and then many others.’ The mother of Epahus is said to have been a certain Io, which leads us to the ‘Abduction of Io' as given by Herodotus.

Let us now look at another mysterious Egyptian pharaoh called Sesostris. Sensing the extremely similar phonetics shared by ‘Seuse’ & ‘Seso.’ Just as Zeus was the ‘King of the Entire World,’ & Seuserenre was‘Embracer-of-regions,’ the Roman historian Strabo tells us that Sesostris actually conquered the world. Sesostris appears even earlier than Strabo, for Herodotus has him leading armies into Asia, Africa & Europe,where the campaign in Thrace is an identical conflict to that fought by Zeus against the Titans, who also heralded from Thrace. Elsewhere, Diodorus Siculus places Sesotris in Egypt as a major lawgiver

"Sesoösis now relieved his peoples of the labours of war and granted to the comrades who had bravely shared in his deeds a care-free life in theenjoyment of the good things which they had won, while he himself, being ambitious for glory and intent upon everlasting fame, constructed works which were great and marvellous in their conception as well as inthe lavishness with which their cost was provided, winning in this
way immortal glory for himself and for the Egyptians security combined withease for all time. For beginning with the gods first, he built in each city of Egypt a temple to the god who was held in special reverence by its inhabitants. On these labours he used no Egyptians, but constructed them all by the hands of his captives alone; and for this reason he placed an inscription on every temple that no native had toiled upon it"

Herodotus: Sesostris} Chose out the strongest of the men and formed an army worthy of the greatness of his undertaking; for he enlisted six hundred thousand foot-soldiers, twenty-four thousand cavalry, and twenty-seventhousand war chariots. After he had made ready his army he marched first of all against the Ethiopians who dwell south of Egypt, and after conquering them he forced that people to pay a tribute in ebony, gold and the tusks of elephants. Then he sent out a fleet of four hundred ships into the Red Sea, being the first Egyptian to build warships, and not only took possession of the islands in those waters, but also subdued the coast of the mainland as far as India, while he himself made his way by land with his army and subdued all Asia. Not only did he, in fact, visit the territory which was afterwards won by Alexander of Macedon, but also certain peoples into whose country Alexander did not cross. For he even passed over the river Ganges and visited all of India as far as the ocean, as well as the tribes of the Scythians as far as the river Tanaïs, which divides Europe from Asia; and it was at this time, they say, that some of the Egyptians, having been left behind near the Lake Maeotis, founded the nation of the Colchi. And the proof which they offer of the Egyptian origin of this nation is the fact that the Colchi practise circumcision even as the Egyptians do, the custom continuing among the colonists sent out from Egypt

Elsewhere, the 4th century Greek scholar known as Euhemerus tells us that when Zeus ‘was king of all theinhabited world & was still in the company of men,’ he also went on a voyage to India. After traversing the Red Sea and skirting the shores of Arabia – just as Sesotris did – Euhemerus has Zeus establishing a sanctuary upon an ‘exceedingly high hill’ on an island called Panachea somewhere in the Indian Ocean

From their Bactrian heartlands, the Hyksos would fanned out east & west in their fast-moving, swift-conquering chariots. Egypt, Greece, Arabia & India all came under the sway of the Hyksos kings, reaching their imperial heightduring the reign of Seuserenre in the early 16th century BC. The empire was ruled very much in the fashion of the British, where handfuls of elite Hyksos noblemen ruled over their conquered peoples, imposing their language on other cultures as they did so.

We can also distinctly associate the living habits of the early Indians, those of the age of Megasthenes, a Greek geographer of the third century BC, with that of the Scythians – ie the Hyksos homelands. Arrian tells
us;

Megasthenes states… the Indians… were originally nomads, as are the non-agricultural Scythians, who wandering in their waggons inhabit now one and now another part of Scythia; not dwelling in cities and notreverencing any temples of the gods; just so the Indians also had no cities and built no temples

The Hyksos as RigVedic gods is detailed by Dr. Liny Srinivasan in her fourEnglish books, Dezi language speaks of the past, From Crete to Egypt, Near Easter Deities in the Rig Veda and Her book on Mandean and Biblical names in Egyptian Coffin texts. She also is. mentioned in Cyrus Gordon’s Ugaritic textbook & published with him on this subject

B.C. 1583-1580: HERAKLES & DIONYSIS IN INDIA

Then he made a campaign into India, whence he returned to Boeotia in the third year bringing with him a notable quantity of booty, and he was the first man ever to celebrate a triumph seated on an Indian elephant... There are pointed out among the Indians even to this day the place where it came to pass that the god {Dionysis} was born, as well as cities which bear his name in the language of the natives; and many other notable testimonials to his birth among the Indians still survive, but it would be a long task to write of them Diodorus Siculus
