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?
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!
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.
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!
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).
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 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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Saturn: the Nimrod of
Scripture, 56 2194-2138
known also as Ninus I.
Belus: great lord of Assyria 55 2138-2083
-- a title of Shem as lord
over all his family. The
title was later taken by Asshur.
Ninus II: conquered the 52 2100-2048
Middle East in 17 years
(2100-2083), while his
father was recognized as
supreme ruler, (see
Diodorus Siculus).
Ninus is the name of
Asshur used by classical
writers.
Semiramis or Ishtar 42 2048-2006
Ninyas: called Zames 38 2006-1968
(see Vol. 1 for history).
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.

Early Kings of German
Lengths of Reign Dates
1. Tuitsch or Tuisto 176 2214-2038
(236) (2214-1978)
Chief of thirty-two dukes. Noah gave him all the land between the Don River
and the Rhine or what was called Grossgermania. This is the beginning of the "neolithic"
settlement of Europe. Tuitsch is, according to all ancient German commentaries
and chronicles, a son of Noah. But which son? Noah adopted Tuitsch's children as
his own. The ancient Germans understood the name Tuitsch to be the title
"Teacher." He was therefore the great patriarch of his family who taught the
divine will to his children.
Tuitsch is the father of Mannus (who is the Assyrian Ninus). The son of
Mannus, Trebeta, is the same man who is called the son of Ninus in classical
writers. The son of Mannus or Ninus -- Trebeta -- built Trier, the first town of
Germany. Since the Bible calls this Ninus (who built Nineveh), Asshur, Tuitsch
is therefore Shem!
Tuitsch (Shem) left Europe for Egypt in 2038. His appearance in Egyptian
chronological records of Dynasty I dates his arrival and government in 2037.
From Armenia Tuitsch left 155 years after the Flood (131 plus 24) -- see the
comments at the beginning of this chapter. With him were twenty-two descendants
plus eight from Japheth and two from Ham. Tuitsch made his headquarters at Deutz
(today Koeln-Deutz). The country is called Deutschland after him -- that is, the
land of the
great Patriarch or Teacher, Shem. In the 25th year of his reign (2190-2189)
Tuitsch held a state assembly, divided lands among his descendants and ordained
laws. He also brought more colonies from Mesopotamia.
2. Mannus or Mann 72 1978-1906
(66) (1978-1912)
For the last 60 years of Tuitsch's or Shem's reign in Germany, he governed
his family from Egypt and Italy. It was not until 1978 that Mannus assumed the
government over Western Europe, succeeding his father Tuitsch. At the beginning
of his reign he sends out colonies to France and Asia Minor. His son Herman
establishes the kingdoms of Phrygia, Mysia and Bithynia in Mannus' 34th year
(1945-1944). Another son Trieber or Trebeta, built Trier. Nerus, another son,
settled in the
Netherlands. This Mannus is the Assyrian Ninus and is Asshur, son of Shem.
Asshur means "strength" in Hebrew and has the same sense as Mannus --
masculinity -- in German.
3. Eingeb or Ingaevon 36 1906-1870
(40) (1912-1872)
This son of Mannus or Ninus -- Asshur -- was the German Mercury. His wife
Freia was the German Venus. He instituted the observance of Weinnachten of
December 24. Eingeb is responsible for settling Germans on the North Sea from
Denmark to Dunkirk. He sent his general Brigus from the Danube valley to secure
Spain against the African Amazons (female warriors). Myrein, queen of the
African Amazons advanced up the Danube but was defeated and slain by Eingeb's
generals Seiphyl and
Mopser.
4. Ausstaeb or Istaevon 50 1870-1820
(52) (1872-1820)
Son of Eingeb, Ausstaeb was the German Mars. From him are descended the
Rheinlanders. In his days a great drought devastated Italy.
5. Herman 63 1820-1757
Son of Ausstaeb. He taught the philosophy that war and to die in battle is
most pleasing to God. He introduced the arts of warmaking to the Germans. The
Druids began to flourish in Germany. Herman settled the heart of Germany, whose
people were called Hermanduri or Hermiones after him.
6. Mers 46 1757-1711
Son of Herman. The city of Merseburg is named after him. The Dithmarsii
descended from him. Oryz, the Egyptian god-king Osiris, came with his wife Eisen
up the Danube valley to Mers. They left Germany and went to Italy on their way
back to Egypt. Cultural development of Germany through contact with Egypt in
days of Joseph -- beer making, agriculture, forging and medicine were brought to
Germany.
7. Gampar 44 1711-1667
Son of Mers. He was the inventor of beer brewing. His daughter Araxa became
one of the wives of Libys (the Egyptian and Spanish Hercules), the son of Oryz,
and gave birth to Tuscus, Schyth, Agatyrsus, Peucinger and Gutho.
8. Schwab 46 1667-1621
Son of Gampar. He gave his name to Schwaben. In his reign Eisen came to
Germany and taught the people various crafts.
9. Wandler 41 1621-1580
Son of Schwab. Ancestor of the German Wenden or Vandals, who were first
known at the Weser, next in the countries north of the Elbe; afterwards, a
colony went into Spain, then into Africa where they restored the Roman Empire;
their kingdom was demolished by General Belisarius. The cities of Luebeck,
Rostoch, Dantzig, and others are the relics of those first Vandals who did not
migrate to North Africa. These German Vandals are different from the Wends
called Slavi,
Slavonians, Poles, Bohemians who settled in the ancient lands of the Vandals.
10. Deuto 27 1580-1553
Son of Wandler, gave his name to the Teutones. He led a campaign into
France and built there the cities of Vannes, Sens, Santgenge and Toulouse. He
was deified as the German Mercury, as Eingeb had previously been.
11. Alman (Allmann or Altman) 64 1553-1489
Son of Deuto, was the German Hercules. Famous for use of trained lions in
war. Bore a lion in his shield. Bavarians, who descended from him, still use a
lion on their coat of arms. He had many sons. Norein received Noricum (in
Bavaria today). Norein was the father of part of the Bavarians. Haun was the
father of the German Huns and lived with his brothers Glan and Schyter. Helvos
was the father of the Helvetti in Switzerland. Baier ruled Bavaria. Mied and
Math were the ancestors of
the Mediomatrices in Alsace. Theur went to foreign lands.
12. Baier 60 1489-1429
Son of Alman. He sent a great army of Germans and Wends from Germany,
Denmark and Gothland to the Balkans. One group, the Goths under Gebreich and
Vilmer, settled on the river Theissa and lived there as the Getae till the time
of Valentinian. Another group, including the German Amazons, proceeded down the
Danube valley to the Black Sea and
on through the Crimea and the Palus Maeotis to Armenia and Cappadocia and the
Taurus mountains. Here they were known as the Cimmerians. Baier was also known
as Bojus of Bavaria since he was the ancestor of many Bavari. He built Prague.
13. Ingram or Ingramus 52 1429-1377
Son of Baier. He sent many German colonists to Asia Minor. Tanhauser, king
of the Germans in Asia Minor, and his priestess Schmirein, led a conquering army
through Syria as far as Egypt. Built Hermenia, afterwards called Reginoberg (Ratisbon).
14. Adalger or Adelger 49 1377-1328
Son of Ingram. German Amazons were again famous in his time under Queens
Lautpotis and Martpeis. They crossed through Asia Minor to Lycia, but were
defeated.
15. Larein 51 1328-1277
Son of Adalger. This is the Laertes of Trojan fame, mentioned by the Roman
historian Tacitus. During his rule an army set out from Germany and went via
Poland and Ruthenia to the Danube valley. Here it was joined by Germans who had
come to the area some 150 years earlier, and the combined forces fell into Asia
Minor under their leader Mader and their queen Aloph. They passed through
Phrygia and settled in Armenia.
16. Ylsing or Ulsing 53 1277-1224
Son of Larein. This is the Trojan Ulysses of Tacitus. He is also the Greek
Odysseus who sailed out to the Atlantic and up to the Rhine. Built Emmerick on
the Main. During his reign the Germans under Galter again invaded Asia Minor and
settled on the banks of the river Sangarius. Priam of Troy tried in vain to
expel them, finally made a treaty, and they later helped him against the Greeks.
17. Brenner or Breno 38 1224-1186
Son of Ylsing, in whose reign Prichs ruled the Germans on the Black Sea and
the women under queen Themyschyr conquered Bithynia, Paphlagonia and Cappadocia.
18. Heccar (Hykar or Highter) 31 1186-1155
Son of Brenner. He is the famous Hector of the First Trojan War. He was of
great help to Priam. Teutschram, king of the Germans of Transylvania and
son-in-law of Priam also sent help.
19. Frank (Francus or Franco) 41 1155-1114
Son of Heccar. From him descended the German Franks or Franconians. In his
days Amar, queen of the German Amazons, burned the temple in Ephesus.
20. Wolfheim Siclinger 58 1114-1056
Son of Frank. He sent another great migration of settlers from Germany to
the Black Sea.
21. Kels, Gal and Hillyr 50 1056-1006
Sons of Wolfheim. They divided their father's realm after his death. Hillyr
received Illyria, Gal received Gaul and Kels received Germany. Hillyr had three
daughters and six sons, all of whom settled in the regions of the Balkans,
Thrace and Greece.
22. Alber 60 1006-946
Son of Gal, ruled together with his six cousins. The center of his
government was in France.
23. Walther, Panno and Schard 62 946-884
Another son of Gal, ruled together with Panno and Schard, the grandsons of
Hillyr. From Walther Italy is called Walhen or Walschland. Panno gave his name
to Pannonia. From Schard came the Schardinger or Schordisci.
24. Main, Žngel and Treibl 70 884-814
Sons of Walther, ruled jointly with Treibl, son of Panno. FromŽngel are
descended the Angles who lived in Thringen and Meissen.
25. Myela, Laber and Penno 100 814-714
They ruled jointly.
26. Venno and Helto 70 714-644
Ruled jointly. Helto invaded and settled in Italy, expelling the former
inhabitants.
27. Mader (Madyas) 55 644-589
Made extensive conquests. He built Milan. He led a German campaign as far
as Syria and Palestine. Of his sons, Balweis received Lombardy, Sigweis Bavaria,
and Brenner Thringen and Meissen.
28. Brenner II and Koenman 110 589-479
Brenner was the son of Mader. He was an "Engl„nder" and king of the
Schwaben. His wife was Th„m„rin (Tomyris), queen of the Getae, Dacians and
Scythians. Brenner sent her troops to help in the war against Cyrus. He also
defeated Darius who tried to invade the lower Danube region. Together Brenner
and Th„m„rin conquered much of Asia Minor as far as Armenia. His nephew K”nman,
son of Sigweis, was king of the Bavarians. Brenner expelled K”nman and 300,000
Bavarians from Bohemia and resettled that region with Schwaben, who then became
known as Markmannen. Some of the expelled Bavarians settled in Bavaria proper,
but by far the largest number of them crossed the Alps into Italy, from where
they drove out some of the Etruscans. After the death of K”nman, the Bavarians
of Italy were ruled by the kings Zeck, Ber (who built Bern or Verona) and
Breitmar.
29. Landein with his sons 80 479-399
Ant„r and R”g„r
30. Brenner III 38 399-361
Son of Breitmar, was king over both Schwaben and Bavarians, and reigned
over Germany and Italy. Under his leadership the Schwaben and Bavarians sacked
Rome. He had sons H”rkaz, Matsch”r, Guotfrid and Schirm. His daughter Gueta was
married to Philip of Macedon. Burning of Rome (July 390) occurred in his 9th
year.
31. Schirm 361-263
Son of Brenner III. He and his son Brenner IV ruled until 60 years after
death of Alexander -- although Brenner IV dies earlier. Brenner led a massive
German invasion into Greece, plundered Macedonia and the oracle at Delphi, but
was killed in 279 B.C.
32. Thessel 85 279-194
Son of Brenner IV, ruled jointly with his uncle Lauther and his brother
Euring. Lauther, with his brother Lebmner, broke into Asia Minor with 20,000 men
and settled in Cappadocia and Phrygia. Thessel's sons Breitmar, Ernvest and
Wirdm„r ruled over the Bavarians in Italy. His wife, Teutscha, was queen of
Istria. The Romans defeated the Bavarians in Italy, killing Wirdm„r and 40,000
of his men.
33. Dieth I no length given 194-172
Son of Thessel, ruled jointly with his son Diethmer. Diethmer invaded
Palestine on behalf of Antiochus IV, took many Jews captive and settled them in
Germany near Regensburg. Soon afterwards Hannibal attacked Italy and many of the
Bavarians from Northern Italy joined him against Rome. After Hannibal's defeat
there followed a war between the Romans and Bavarians in northern Italy which
lasted 12 years. Finally, weary of fighting, the Bavarians left Italy, where
they had dwelt for almost 400 years, and settled in Pannonia. Dieth was also
driven from Italy, whereupon Diethmer, in retaliation, persuaded Philip V of
Macedon to renew his hostilities with Rome. Entz and Olor, German kings in
Istria and Transylvania, aided Philip, but Rome won. In Asia Minor Rome launched
an attack against the German kings Orthjag, Gompelmer, G„udhor, Orgsgund and
Eposgnad. These retreated eastward over the Halys, where they were defeated,
sued for peace, and swore never to
raid foreign nations again. The Romans also defeated king Entz of Istria.
34. Baermund and Synpol 45 172-127
Ruled after the death of Dieth I and Diethmer.
35. Boiger, Kels and 27 127-100
Teutenbuecher
They ruled jointly over the Germans and Bavarians in 127 B.C. They gathered
an army of 300,000 Saxons and Bavarians, intending to invade and resettle Italy,
from which they had been driven some 70 years earlier. They were, however,
defeated by Marius at Aquae Sextiae (102 B.C.) and Vercellae (101 B.C.). Boiger
died, having reigned 27 years.
36. Scheirer 30 100-70
Mithridates tried to enlist his aid in the struggles against Rome.
37. Ernst (Arionistus) and Vocho 20 70-50
Ernst was king over Germany and France, his brother-in-law, Vocho, over
Bavaria, Austria and Hungary. Ernst invaded France, fought there for 14 years,
and settled it with 120,000 Germans. Next 33,000 Bavarians decided to go via
France and Spain into Italy. They were joined by the Helvetti. Julius Caesar
defeated them, sent the Helvetii back home, but allowed the Bavarians to settle
in Burgundy. Caesar also defeated king Ernst.
38. Pernpeist 10 50-40
He made a treaty with Persia against the Romans, made raids into Greece and
even attacked Apulia and Naples by sea. The Bavarians, having been driven from
Italy, lived near the Drave and Danube for 127 years. In the times of Ernst and
Pernpeist they left their homes, sailed down the Danube and settled near the
Vistula, Dniester and Dnieper, where they remained some 550 years. The name of
the Bavarians is not encountered again for some 500 years, till the time of
Attila.
39. Cotz, Dieth II and circa 40-13
Creitschir
In 13 B.C. Augustus made an attack against the Germans on the Danube. Later
he settled 40,000 Westphalians, Hessians and Schwaben on the west bank of the
Rhine.
Virtual anarchy now began to reign among the German tribes. There were
anti-Roman and pro-Roman factions and these split whole tribes and even
families. The ruling families soon killed each other off in family feuds and
inter-tribal warfare.
The royal house that next dominated Germany came from the Sicambrian
Franks. Their history appears later in the "Compendium", chapter XII A.
