In the wake of Odysseus’ ship, he follows the
venturesome voyage, trying to identify the various
stopovers of the king of Ithaca, in close contact
to the Homeric text. So, Aeolus’ island is Majorca,
Circe’s Aeaea island, Madeira [H. Mertz], Sirens’
island one of the Caribbean islands, Sun’s island
Thrinacia, Puerto Rico, Skylla and Charybdis’
passage, Sobrero Passage. Then Calypso’s isle
Ogygia, Bermuda and the Phoeacians’ land southwest
Iberia, with Alcinoos’ palace in Lisbon of Portugal,
the ancient town of Odyssey [Strabo].
The author, in quest of convincing answers to
old questions, reveals that the long sought river
Eridanus, is actually a sea current, the Gulf
Stream, and that the ancient Greek seamen called
the Labrador Current, the reverse going current,
river Alpheus. Scotland was called Caledonia,
from the province adjacent to Delphi, Caledonia,
and the sea around Britain Caledonian Ocean. Incidentally,
the first temple of Delphi was founded in the
31st millennium BC. Atlas and Caucasus mountain-ranges,
due to the sphericity of the Earth were thought
to be one, the Andes mountains of South America.
Ancient Syene, today Aswan on the Nile, was founded
by the Greeks, first administrators of Egypt,
to mark the Tropic of Cancer. The cognition of
the Tropic circles, testifies that Ortygia island,
birth place of the twins Apollon and Artemis,
is Caribbean island Cuba. [Odyssey xv-403]
A book written with scientific truth as a corner-stone
for those with an interest in Prehistory, aiming
towards a complete overthrow of the anthellenic
theories, mostly based on fabricated falsehoods,
concerning the Alphabet, Writing, the Origin of
Sciences and the Extraction of the Hellenes.
Now the views on the earliest Americans, long
taught in U.S. schools and enshrined in popular
books, may be inaccurate. Ancient campsites as
Cactus Hill, Va., 18,000 years old, and Meadow-croft,
Pa., 17,000 years old, predates the accepted timing
for the opening of that crucial ice-free corridor
across the Bering Sea 12,000 years ago, and bolsters
the theory that the earliest Americans came by
sea, possibly across the Atlantic rather than
from Asia. [Time, April 17, 2000]. So, some archaeologists
propose that the first people to reach the Americas
worked their way across the Atlantic from the
Iberian Peninsula about17,000 to 18,000 years
ago. But has anybody ever heard of “Iberian sailors”
BC, unless one refers to Heracles who errected
the two Pillars at the entrance to the Mediterannean,
and to the Hellenes magistrates of the country,
who gave names to the mountains [Pyrenees], rivers
[Ebro=Hebrus, Guadalquivir= Tar-tessus, Guadiana=Anas,
Tagus, Douro=Dourios], capes [Finisterre=Finisterion],
towns [Gadiz=Tartes-sus, Lisbon, a corruption
of the Roman name Ulysses of Odysseus, and even
to the peninsula itself?
‘Everybody
understands that today the tropics are misnamed.
Summer solstice, for example, no longer occurs
in the constellation of Cancer and the name ‘Tropic
of Cancer’, today is meaningless. From Fig.3 we
see that when in 1841 B.C. γ1 (first point of
Aries) crossed Taurus and entered Aries, the summer
solstice was in Leo. Summer solstice crossed Leo
and entered Cancer after :
6449
- 2757 –2049 –1555 = 88 years
that
is at :
1841
B.C. – 88 years = 1753 B.C.
and
was in Cancer for a period of 1555 years, i.e.
between :
1753
B.C. and 198 B.C.
and
therefore the appellation of the tropics should
be given in the middle of the 2nd millennium B.C.
But
this is contradictory! At that time the Hellenes
had already executed astronomical observations
of a higher order, like the measurement of the
duration of the seasons. The determination of
the position of a solstice, out of question, is
an operation of a lower level, necessarily preceded.
So?
So,
from this dead end there is only one way out.
That the name ‘of Cancer’ was given to the Tropic,
at least, one precession period earlier, that
is between :
198
B.C. + 25796 years = 25994 B.C.
and
1753
B.C. + 25796 years = 27549 B.C.
Thus,
the allegation that the Hellenes started to execute
astronomical observations of the first order around
20 000 B.C. instead of being excessive, proved
to be on the contrary a very moderate one. In
any case, these two assumptions, i.e. that the
Hellenes proceeded in high level astronomical
observations since the 7th millennium B.C. and
in simple ones since well into the Upper Palaeolithic
Age leads us to a third, that Hellenes had writing
since that last age. It is irrational to draw
geometrical figures on the sand, slates, wax,
skins etc.,to understand the conceptions of the
straight line, the angle, the circle, the vertical,
the plane, the sphere etc.,and for all of them
to exist in oral speech, but had not found a way
to be memorized. Certainly, the equality of winter
to summer survived orally in the Orphic Hymns,
although we cannot exclude the possibility that
in the holy of holies of the Orphics, the Hymns
existed in written form, lost to the perishability
of the material on which they were memorized.
In any case, we insist, and this one day in the
future could be verified by digging, that the
Hellenes since the 25th millennium B.C., had writing
(1)
(1)Just
one year after the smaller volume of this book
was published (1994), in the prehistoric lakeside
settlement of Dispilio-Kastoria northwestern Greece,
Prof. Hourmouziades University of Thessalonica,
found a piece of petrified wood on which was the
most ancient inscription of the world, dated back
to 5 260 B.C. (C14). It is almost certain that
the language on it is Hellenic.’

etc.,etc.
Anyone
with an interest in Prehistory will get convincing
answers through the pages of a book written
with Scientific Truth as a corner stone. A complete
overthrow of the anthellenic theories concerning
the Alphabet and the origin of Hellenes. Evidence
why there is no future for Mankind apart from
the Hellenic Ideals.

With this
volume Petrides is going off in quest of the roots
of Civilization. After translating the 88 Orphic
Hymns into the English language, which were missing
since 1824, when Thomas Taylor a man of letters,
did it for the first time, however devoid of commentaries
regarding their content; he proceeds to explain
that this was accomplished for the purpose of
halting dishonest efforts from various directions,
“to degrade the Hellenic factor by promoting other
ancient peoples, who had vanished long ago from
the historical proscenium, in the place of Hellenes,
like the Phoenicians, the Egyptians, the Sumerians,
the Babylonians and even the Nubians, fabricating
for these peoples inexistent cultural attainments.”
In the 2nd Part the author drows up a time enlisting
of the Hymns, according to the three reign periods
in the heavens, that of Uranus, Cronus and Zeus,
along with chapters on Agriculture, Navigation
and Writing. The 3rd Part deals with the phenomenon
of the Ice Ages, setting the bounds for: Gunz,
Mindenian and Roessius Ice Ages during the Lower
Palaeolithic, and Wurmian during the Middle and
Upper Palaeolithic. Mathematical calculations
made by him on “the approximate number of words
Man of Petralon disposed 700 000 years ago”, astound
the reader to learn their outcome: 40000. In the
4th Part, he penetrates the main subject, commenting
on every Hymn separately, in reference to every
aspect of human civilized life. Revelations follow
in a cascading form. As for example the oldness
of the conception of Justice, the principle of
the Separation of Powers, and that of the Elections
by a Draw, reveals that the Greeks politically,
half a million years ago, were more advanced than
modern Republics. Petrides determines scientific
and cultural attainments, like Gravitation and
the concept of Ether, before Gods’ appearance,
Music and Biology in Uranus’ period, Tillage,
Navigation and Wars in Cronus’, and Nomus and
the concept of Ecology in Zeus’. Based on the
astronomical ideas included in the Hymns, he sets
the bounds between the reign periods of Uranus
and Cronus at 460 000 years before present, and
between Cronus and Zeus at 210 000 BP. In reference
to Astronomy, cognition is classified as follows:
Before 460 000 years ago. Testified are the Sphericity
of the Earth, the Meridian lines, Solstices and
Equinoxes, on the Earth’s surface. Right and Left,
first orientation system via astronomy.
460 000 - 210 000 years ago. Geocentricity vs
Heliocentricity. Equator and Tropical Circles
on the Earth’s surface. At the end of the period,
Helio-centricity prevails.
210 000 – 130 000 years ago. Zeus’ reign early
times. Location on the starry heaven of the Ecliptic
and the Celestial Equator. Division of the Ecliptic
in 12 segments. Names and signs of the Zodiacs.
130 000 – 60 000 years ago. Middle times of Zeus’
reign. Precession’s discovery. Measurements on
time via water dripping in the caves. Determi-nation
of Precession’s duration at c.26 000 years.
60 000 years ago to Present. Later times of Zeus’
reign. Time measurements via oil consumption in
oil lamps. Discovery of Seasons’ equality.
Barbarians of today hypocritically recognise that
Mankind owes Greece almost everything, however
they act contrary to their “belief”. Actually
they aim at a total extermination of the Greeks
from the face of the Earth. Shall they succeed?
Possibly. This
book is a merciless attack along the entire front
line of the enemies of Greece. For about two centuries
they have been trying solely by dishonest means,
such as lies, half truths or vicious slanders
to underrate the unique contribution of the Hellenes
to human civilization. Slander in particular,
is aiming to strike Greece at its moral substance,
by bringing the charge of homosexuality against
the Greek philosophers.
Given that all the above are outright lies, the
author for his part declares war against those
who have sold their soul to the Demon of Momey.
A war of Reason against Dogma and Truth against
Lie. From now on, the Greek race takes up arms
and no malignity will be left unanswered.

This
second volume of Orpheus’ Orphica, after The Orphic
Hymns, on Orpheus’ Argonautica, completes the set by
Petrides’ goal to translate into modern English the ancient Greek
texts of Orpheus’ Orphica, along with critical studies of
the contents. In the first volume he documented his view that Greek astronomy may have started half a million years ago.
Now
in this dissertation, after translating the extant old text, for the
first time ever into English, he proceeds to a critical review of the
famous voyage. Following
closely the ancient text,
although heavily mutilated, he carefully identifies step by step, the
various landfalls of the Argonauts, until they reached Aeetes’
Colchis in South America, at the delta of the mighty Amazon river.The
most intriguing characteristic of the way the author addresses the
Argonautica of the Orphics, is his theory that the text which
reached modern era had been heavily distorted by the Onomacritus
Committee, which had collected the scattered parts of the epic in the
6th century BC. Onomacritus and his fellows had solved the
issue of how to bring together the pieces of the poem, by succumbing
to Miletos’ dogma that there is only one continent and only one sea
on the planet. This tenet not being in accordance with reality, led
the efforts of Apollonius Rhodius and Valerius Flaccus to ruins,
since it obliged them to invent a branch of the Istrus river
outfalling into Adriatica. Petrides on the contrary, adopts the
proposed by the ancient text itinerary through the great rivers of
european Russia, up to the Sea of Barents. Then down to Madeira,
Circe’s island, who will provide the Argonauts with the necessary
sailing directions to reach Aea, the country of her brother Aeetes,
king of the Colchians.
For
the purpose of fulfilling this goal, Petrides proceeds to a
repositioning of the verses, in order to put them into the correct
place, which is derived after accepting the view that the Wurmian
geographical cognition of the Greek seafarers was similar to the
present.The 29 Legs of the journey, are convincingly proposed, taking
evidence from ancient Greek and Latin writers along with calculations
on constel-lations, as they appeared in the night sky at the
twentieth second century BC; the time Petrides approximately locates
the expedition took place.
The
narration does not fail to take notice of the Argonautica of
Apollonius Rhodius and Valerius Flaccus, marking the weak points of
their proposed itineraries. In parallel to the main relation, items
like the Hyperboreans, the Indoeuropeans and others, receive special
interest; the author providing some silencing answers to prevailing
theories in referece to the roots of the Civilization, a fact due to
lack of Hellenic reaction to the malignacy of the foreigners.
Remarkably, the chapter A brief review of prehistory, is added
for the purpose of instructing the reader about Man’s History on
the planet, ever since Anthropogenesis. An entire section of the book
is devoted to the early Greek presence even in the Pacific, after
recent works of foreign adepts in the subject. Four chapters refer to
issues pertaining to the Americas, the Amazons, Africas’
circumnavigation and Atlantis. A set of coloured maps guide the
reader along the entire voyage, while a number of pictures in colour
from ancient vessels, provide an idea as to how the ancient artists
imagined the persons of
the various events.We may say that by the end, the reader is
well-informed and can vividly picture the world of the Early Bronze
Age.
