                            CHAPTER I

                       EARLY HISTORY OF GERMANY

     The time has come to reveal the true history of Europe.
     The Germans for centuries have dominated the heartland of Western
Europe. Because of the geographic position Germany's transportation
lines constitute the vital arteries of the continent. Without the
beating of the German heart, Europe would lose its economic and
political prominence in world affairs.
     Ancient Roman writers would have us believe that the Germans in
the Roman heyday were mere barbarians, an insignificant people roaming
the forests of northern Europe. Was this Roman report the whole truth?
Were the ancient Roman writers keeping back from their people the facts
of German history?
     Rome conquered Spain, Gaul, Southern Britain, all North Africa to
the Sahara, Illyria, Greece, Asia to the Euphrates. But Rome had to
draw its boundary in the north along the Rhine. Why? Why was Rome not
able to subdue all Germany? Why, after centuries of bloodshed, did Rome
finally succumb to the hammer blows of the Germanic Goths and Vandals?
It is high time we were told the true history of early Germany.
     The origin of the German people in Europe is rooted in patriarchal
times. The history of early Germany, suppressed by the Romans, was
revived briefly in the German-dominated Middle Ages. But before the
close of the seventeenth century not even the Germans remembered their
past. It had been stamped out in the name of education and religion.
     But not all was lost. From early documents and local traditions it
is still possible to recover what has, in recent centuries, been buried
under the rubble of modern educational superstition. The Germans
themselves are in great part responsible for this condition. They
fostered modern historical concepts. They have tried to hide their past
even from themselves -- just as they did at the close of the Hitler
era. If the Germans admitted to themselves and the world who they
really are, all the world would recognize in Imperial Germany the
reconstituted Assyrian Empire -- once the terror of all the civilized
world!


                     ANTIQUITY OF THE GERMAN REICH

     Germany has set herself up as the bulwark of European
civilization. Germany for centuries has claimed to stand as the wall of
defense against the barbarism of Asia.
     The German Reich long endured as the oldest political institution
in Continental Europe. The German people called their Reich the Holy
Roman Empire. It bore rule over Europe for a thousand years. This "Holy
Roman Empire of the German People" was officially designated by the
Church in the Middle Ages as "The Kingdom of God" on earth. Its
citizens, the Germans, felt themselves true Romans and bearers of the
Christian Reich or kingdom. They were therefore the chosen people of
the Christian era, entrusted with a world-mission to be the protectors
of Christianity.
     German leaders and philosophers have never forgotten this notion
of the Middle Ages that the German, in place of the Jew, has a special
mission from God.
     This strange concept, which lies behind modern political thinking
in Germany, is plainly stated in the German work "Die Trag”die des
Heiligen Reiches" -- in English, "The Tragedy of the Holy Roman
Empire." It is by Friedrich Heer. It is a remarkable volume. It lays
bare the reason for the secret motives of the German to dominate Europe
-- and the world.


                      GERMANS SHAPE WORLD AFFAIRS

     The story of the ancestry of the German people, and their role in
prophecy, is one of the strangest stories ever written. It is gripping
with interest, amazing -- yes, astounding!
     "The History of Germany," writes Bayard Taylor, "is not the
history of a nation, but of a race ... Thus, even before the fall of
the Roman Empire, it becomes the main trunk out of which branch
histories of nearly all European nations, and ... the connecting link
between ancient and modern history. The records of no other race throw
so much light upon the development of all civilized lands during a
period of fifteen hundred years" ("History of Germany", page iii).
     Germany has contributed more military leaders than any other
nation in history. Its governments have, in the past, claimed the right
to rule the "Christian world." The German State, from its beginning,
has nearly always been a confederation of states -- often an empire of
German ruling over non-German. It is the German people who, more than
once, have believed themselves to be the "Herrenvolk" -- the Master
Race.
     The German people number over one hundred million throughout the
world today. They are composed of numerous small tribes. Nations,
remember, are families grown big. Take Israel as an example. The nation
Israel descended from one man, Jacob (who was renamed Israel upon his
conversion -- Genesis 35:9-10). But Israel had 12 sons. His family
therefore was divided into 12 tribes. One reads in the Bible about "the
12 tribes of Israel" -- Judah, Dan, Ephraim, Levi, etc. (Genesis
49:28).
     The same is true of the German people. of all these tribes,
perhaps the most famous name to Americans is that of the Hessians. The
British hired numerous Hessians in their effort to put down the
American Revolution which began in 1776. The Hessians were known to
Roman historians by the tribal name "Hatti." Other Germans bore the
names "Alemani" "Suabi," and "Quadi," the "Casuri." The Romans called
them collectively Germani, meaning "War-men" (from the "Encyclopedia
Britannica", article, "Germany").
     But from where did all these Germanic people come?
     Here is the answer of history: "There can be no doubt that they
Black and Caspian seas," states "Smith's Classical Dictionary",
article, "Germania," p. 361. Ancient historical records confirm this
admission.
     The Germans can be traced in historical records to the regions
surrounding the Black and Caspian seas, which border on the ancient
Biblical Mesopotamia. This is the region where civilization commenced
and from where the patriarchs came!


                           THE ANSWER FOUND

     Ancient German tradition claims that their oldest city, Trier, was
founded by Trever or Trebeta, a son of Ninus, king of Assyria.
     "The inhabitants of Trier maintain that their city is the oldest
in all Europe," writes Josef K. L. Bihl in his textbook "In deutschen
Landen", page 69. "Trier was founded," he continues, "by Trebeta, a son
of the famous Assyrian King Ninus. In fact, one finds ... in Trier the
inscription reading, 'Trier existed for 1300 years before Rome was
rebuilt.' "
     Ninus, according to Roman, Greek and Persian records, was the
first ruler who began the systematic conquest of the ancient world
after the death of Nimrod. He established the Assyrian Empire as the
chief power over Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia, reported Diodorus
of Sicily in his History.
     But how is it possible that the oldest German city, Trier, founded
over 2000 years before the birth of Christ, should be built by a son of
Ninus, the renowned King of ancient Assyria? What connection have the
Germans with Assyria?
     Jerome, who lived at the time when the Indo-Germanic tribes were
invading Europe, provides this startling answer: "For 'Assur (the
Assyrian) also is joined with them' " (Letter 123, sec. 16, "Nicene and
Post-Nicene Fathers"; quote is from Psalm 83:8).


                   DID THE ASSYRIANS INVADE EUROPE?

     Yes! Jerome said so! But how did he know?
     He saw them! He was an eyewitness to their migrations from
Mesopotamia and the shores of the Black and Caspian seas!
     Now consider what Sylax, the author of the "Periplus," who lived
about 550 B.C., writes of the southern shores of the Black Sea: "The
coast of the Black Sea ... is called Assyria" (from page 261 of Perrot
and Chipiez's "History of Art in Sardinia, Judaea, Syria and Asia
Minor", Vol. II.) From there the Assyrians moved north.
     Only 300 years before Jerome, the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder
declared the "Assyriani" -- the Assyrians -- were dwelling north of the
Black Sea ("Natural History", IV, 12, page 183). But the Assyrians did
not remain there. They are not there today. of course not -- they
migrated into Central Europe -- where the Germans live today!


                     WHAT DID ASSYRIANS LOOK LIKE?

     What did the ancient Assyrians look like? Here is the answer: "In
the Zagros hills and across the plain to the Tigris, there lived a ...
fair-haired ... people akin to the Guti (the Goths) who ... remained in
what was afterwards Assyria, the neighbour land to Akkad" (page 5 of
"The Sumerians", by C. Leonard Woolley).
     When the ancient Greek writers wanted to distinguish the Assyrians
and their Hebrew captives from the Arameans or Syrians, the Greeks
often called both Assyrians and their Hebrew captives "Leucosyri" --
meaning "whites" or "blonds" as distinct from the very brunette Syrians
who still live in Mesopotamia.


                 WHY GERMANS CALL THEMSELVES "DEUTSCH"

     The Germans do not call themselves "German." They refer to
themselves as Deutschen, and to their country as Deutschland.
     When the Assyrians or Germans appeared in Europe, they claimed
Tuitsch as their ancestor! That is where the name "Deutsch" comes from!
     "Tuysco, the most ancient and peculiar god of all the Germans ...
of this Tuisco, the first and chiefest man of many among the Germans,
and after whom they do call themselves Tuytshen, that is, duytshes or
duytsh people, I have already spoken." So writes Verstegan in his 1605
publication entitled "Restitution of Decayed Intelligence: in
Antiquities".
     Whenever a German calls himself Deutsch, he is therefore saying he
is a descendant of Tuitsch (Tuisco or Tuisto in Latin). And when he
terms his country Deutschland, he is saying his land is Tuitsch's land.
Who this Tuitsch is will be made plain in Chapter II.


                     WHAT LANGUAGE DID THEY SPEAK

     European scholars have thoroughly studied the language of the land
of Hatti -- the ancestors of the Hessians. It is an Indo-Germanic
tongue -- numerous words of which were akin to Old High German. So many
similarities were found that Edgar Sturtevant had to declare: "To me it
seems incredible that so remarkable a situation developed in two
languages independently. I feel compelled to trace the Germanic ... to
a common origin" with the language of Hatti -- common tongue of the
Assyrians in Asia Minor (from "A Comparative Grammar", page 240).
     Scholars admit that for centuries the language of the people who
inhabited Assyria was not merely Semitic. Semitic was the late literary
language of Assyria -- the language of scholars, the language of
international commerce. Modern historians and archaeologists assume
that the common tongue of all Assyrian people was Semitic. They have no
proof. So noted an Assyriologist as Sydney Smith admitted "... that the
documents from Asia Minor and from east of Tigris are couched in
Semitic dialects spoken by men unable to pronounce all the Semitic
consonants ..." (p. xi, from "Early History of Assyria to 1000 B.C.").
     The same circumstance occurred during the Middle Ages all over
Europe. The language of almost all European scholars -- and even their
names -- until the time of the Protestant Reformation was Latin -- but
Latin was not the common tongue of the people! Because most of the
literature of Germany was in Latin during the Middle Ages does not
prove that the common people spoke Latin.


                     SEMITIC BY RACE, NOT LANGUAGE

     Asshur was a son of Shem. But after the tower of Babel, when the
languages of the world were confused (Genesis 11), most Assyrians no
longer spoke a Semitic tongue, but rather Indo-Germanic and related
tongues! The Germans, therefore, are Semitic by race, but not by
language!
     In the days of Abraham, the Germans or Assyrians formed a great
confederation of states or tribes, speaking several different languages
(Josephus' "Antiquities of the Jews", book I, ch. 9). One king of the
Assyrians -- already discussed -- was "Tidal, king of nations" (Genesis
14:1). The name Tidal is Indo-Germanic, not Semitic.
     Most scholars have never been conscious of the fact that the use
of the Semitic language in Assyria was due to the rising influence of
the Aramaic people (Genesis 10:22) in Mesopotamia and certain of the
sons of Abraham ("Antiquities", book I, ch. XV, sect. 1). So prominent
did they become that Mesopotamia is called "Padan-Aram" -- the plain of
Aram -- in the Bible (Genesis 28:22).

 
                              CHAPTER II

                   THE ANCIENT KINGS OF THE GERMANS

     The settlement of the Assyrians and related peoples in early
Europe is summarized by several writers in the early Middle Ages. The
list of the early kings presented here is from the "Bayerische Chronik"
and "Deutsche Chronik" by Johannes Turmair, Abensberg, 1526.
     The traditional events assigned to each ancient German ruler are
confirmed by both archaeological evidence and the fragmentary comments
of classical historians.
     The "Bayerische Chronik" is very important for the history of
Central Europe. It proves that German history was correctly preserved
in song and poetry and in contemporary written records down to Roman
times. It further proves that the length of time from the Flood to
Roman times was accurately preserved except for an overlooked 24 years.
This period was the 24 years from Abram's year 75 to his year 99. The
later chroniclers, who placed in parallel German and Hebrew history,
universally reckoned the 430 years from the Covenant that was confirmed
with Abraham to Sinai as beginning when Abram was 75 years old, instead
of 99. They therefore placed the Flood 24 years too late in history.
     The German chronicles that were the basis of Turmair's work placed
the Flood 131 years before the coming of the German patriarch Tuisto
into Europe. They should have reckoned 131 plus 24 -- that is, 155
years. With this one exception, all dates from Tuisto down to the
burning of Rome in 390 B.C. need no correction. All that is necessary
is to add the separate lengths of reign. There are no missing lengths
of reign.
     German history commences with an extensive settlement of farmers
in Europe from the Don River to the Rhine. The date of this migration
into Europe from Mesopotamia and the Near East is placed at 2214 B.C.
by German history -- just 155 years after the Flood and 40 years after
the Tower of Babel.


                BEGINNING OF GERMAN OR ASSYRIAN HISTORY

     The real beginnings of Assyrian history were not presented in
Volume I. They are restored here. One account begins with the reign of
Nimrod in 2194 -- after the 60-year reign of Cush. Cush was the first
Belus -- the word means "lord" -- who bore rule after the Flood.

                     THE EARLY SETTLERS OF EUROPE

     The "Bavarian Chronicle" records in detail the earliest settlers
of Europe after the Deluge. Their encampments and habitations have been
recovered by archaeological research and are labeled the "Neolithic"
migrations that traversed the Danube and adjoining valleys.
     Shem or Tuitsch came into Europe with members of his family, as
well as with certain of the sons of Japheth and two of the sons of Ham
who were of the white stock. From these have descended most of the
present-day nations of Europe. The descendants of Shem include many
sons of Joktan, son of Heber, and a number of the sons of Mash, son of
Aram. The Biblical names (Genesis 10) of the grandsons and
great-grandsons of Shem are clearly preserved in most instances by the
"Chronicle". In the following chart, together with the names of the
patriarchal settlers, appear either the areas settled, the tribes which
sprang from them, or their Biblical names. An historical or classical
map should be consulted for location of geographic names. In later
times the descendants of these early heroes migrated west, south, north
and east under population pressure.
