1. Orjan Svensson: Hebrew-Phoenicians in Scandinavia

This is a book by Mr. Sven Nilsson published in Lund,

The title is "Bronsåldern, Skandinaviska Nordens

ur-invånare" (= "The Bronze Age, the Original

Here are my English translations of some interesting

explanation of a previously known fact, should expect

criticism, and if he is self-confident then he should

wish to get it; because if the matter is correct, then

it goes unhurt and strengthened through the fire of

criticism; if it is incorrect it would better fall."

"The mistake to consider even the oldest bronze to be

domestic, existed for some time even amongst some

learned persons in Scandinavia; but this mistake has

ceased, since knowledge has been gained regarding the

corresponding similarity between the whole ornaments

of our Scandinavian bronzes and those we find in the

whole range of the Phoenician temple ruins from Paphos

to Gozzo? That there is a connection between them

cannot be denied, but no one should be able to assume

that they came from the North to the Near East

That there are no plants depicted on our Scandinavian

bronzes is considered by Mr. C. as sufficient in order

to establish that they are not of Phoenician origin:

but both Mr. Gerhard and Mr. de Witte as well as Mr.

Lenormant and others have through experience revealed,

as everyone can also now become convinced of, that

depictions of plants and animals never occur amongst

the oldest Phoenician ornaments, and that they only

were introduced there later through Assyrian and other

interference etc. Thus the lack of depictions of

animals and plants in our Scandinavian ornaments does

not prove that they are not Phoenician, like Mr. C.

says, but rather that they are very old and purely

Phoenician, without Assyrian and other influences.

These which do not exist on the Phoenician ruins from

Paphos to Gozzo, do first start to appear in Malt

amongst the less ancient ruins of Hagiar-chem, page

43, where a palm leaf is depicted, and even more in

Ireland, where a palm leaf is depicted amongst the

ruins of Newgrange and a lotus flower amongst the

item #33. Has The Palace of King David Been Found?

Veteran followers of Brit-Am know that we believe the descendants of Joseph

(primarily the British and their offshoots and north Americans) to be represented

in Isaiah (44:28 45:1by the figure of Cyrus the Persian Ruler.

We also spoke at length on this matter in our book "Joseph. The Israelite Destiny of America" where it is explained that

Cyrus came to represent the Messiah son of Joseph:

President Truman in supporting the incipient State of Israel modelled himself on Cyrus.

Now the figure of Cyrus is being held up as a source of inspiration for US foreign policy

in an interesting article from the British newspaper THE GUARDIAN:

<<When Persian forces overran Babylonia in 539BC, the inhabitants surrendered peacefully. According to contemporary accounts, Cyrus was greeted as a liberator because of his just policies - and tough attitude to terrorists.>>

"When I entered Babylon I did not allow anyone to terrorise the land," a text known as the Cyrus Cylinder quotes him as saying. "I strove for peace in Babylon and all other sacred cities. I put an end to the inhabitants' misfortune."

Interesting history of Scottish bank notes, which are now

The article says that some people in England are hesitant about accepting

Scottish Bank Notes. This is just to let you know that Brit-Am in Jerusalem

has no such compunctions about Scotland or anywhere else.

A good portion of our orders and offerings in the last two months

have come from different people in Florida who probably have no known connection

This is unusual. Without this input we would now be in difficulties.

Is there something special about Florida at present?

7. Brit-Am Historical Research Conclusions Strengthened

In our historical researches we explain how a good portion of the Exiled Ten

Tribes went firstly to areas like Central Asia and Southern Russia and from there moved westward.

We explain how the movement westward was in stages and that an important sequence occurred

in the period ca 200 CE to 450 CE the movement being from the east to Germany and from there

to the west {Steven Collins basically agrees with us on this matter and has significant insights of his own).

If however someone wished to go beyond our detailed yet basic explanation and explore the matter further

he would find that nearly all recent reference works tell a different story.

The present conventional accounts more or less give the impression that all the so-called

"Germanic" (i.e. speakers of Germanic-tongues) peoples sprang up on their own out of the German forests and wastelands

New archaeological evidence actually supports the Brit-Am explanation as we explained briefly with references in our work "The Tribes".

A study that further confirms Brit-Am explanation now appears to have been recently academically accepted in Germany

[ „Stamm und Reich der frühen Thüringer nach den

Schriftquellen" (i.e. Folk/tribe and realm of the early Thuringians

according to historical sources) by Dr. Heike Grahn-Hoek, in

Zeitschrift des Vereins für Thüringische Geschichte, Vol. 56 (2002).]

The study in effect says that the Thuringians were in effect Tervingi Goths who migrsated from

the Black Sea area to Central Germany. This occurred over a period of time but culminated in the

400s CE. They were federated with Warnians (Varni), Anglians (Angli)

and Suebians (Nordsuavi), and other groups who evidently migrated with them

and shortly afterwards participated in the Anglo-Saxon invasions of England.

#6. Tore Gannholm: Ancient Swedish Connections to the Middle East

we mentioned a Swedish Television program of interest.

<<There is a new Swedish televison program in three parts called

It shows that the Scandinavian bronze age started very suddenly about

1800 BC with a very high culture and the artifacts deteriorated in

The earlier artifacts are almost identical with similar from the

Phoenicians and the pre-hellenic or Achaean culture in Mycaene. This is

interpreted as the Phoenicians established trading colonies here and

introduced there culture and gods. The god Baal later in Scandinavian

mythology known as Balder should have been introduced at that time.>>
