Abstract
Artifacts from royal burial graves Gamma and Omicron of grave circle B at Mycenae attest to cultural ties between the Eastern Mediterranean elite and that of the Scandinavian Early Bronze Age (mid- and late 2nd millennium BC). The appearance of the running spiral motif and representations of ships with rams in Scandinavia coincide with the beginning of the Mycenaean civilization. These facts, along with the nds of Baltic amber only in the royal burials at Mycenae but not in Crete, suggest that a principal role in the introduction of these cultural elements in Scandinavia during the Scandinavian Bronze Age (periods I-III according to Montelius) was played by the Mycenaean elite.

By admin May 8, 2013 THE EXODUS DECODED
Extracts:
I recently got a very interesting email from Inbal Peled who is studying architecture in Haifa. She had just seen my film 'The Exodus Decoded' and makes a fantastic suggestion.
In 'The Exodus Decoded' I make a connection between Mycenae in Greece and the Biblical Exodus. Basically, just after the eruption of the volcano on the island of Thera/Santorini, the Minoan civilization goes down and the Mycenaean civilization suddenly springs up. Its center is the city of Mycenae. We're talking about approximately 1500 BCE. The discoverer of Troy, Heinrich Schliemann, excavated Mycenae in 1876. There he discovered an incredible gold treasure including gold masks that he identified with Agamemnon, who commanded the Greek armies when they fought the Trojans over the famous beauty 'Helen of Troy'. But none of the masks could have belonged to Agamemnon. They were created around 1500 BCE and he lived some 250 or 300 years later. So who did the gold masks belong to?
It seems they belonged to the founders of Mycenae, who had an incredible amount of Egyptian gold at their disposal. In other words, the founders of Mycenae came from Egypt at the time of the Biblical Exodus. I hypothesize that some of the people described in the Bible as leaving Egypt with great amounts of gold during the Israelite exodus, parted company with the tribes of Israel and, after the building of the tabernacle at the foot of Mount Sinai, sailed for Greece. The founders of Mycenae were not clean shaven like the rest of the Greeks, they wore beards like Israelites. They created large stele which depict - almost like frames in a movie - the parting of the sea described in the Book of Exodus. They also had golden jewelry which perfectly matches the descriptions in the Torah of the Ark of the Covenant and the priestly utensils used in the Tabernacle. Is it possible that the people who founded Mycenae were a breakaway group from the Israelites under Moses, who spent 40 years in the Sinai desert?
Contact between Egypt and the Aegean may seem strange to some people today but we know that at the time of the Biblical Exodus there was tremendous interaction between lower Egypt and the Aegean. Is it possible that people who sailed from Egypt were the original founders of Mycenae? After all, scholars don't know who founded Mycenae. For my part, I have said that the founders were Israelites. Now, Inbal points out that the mysterious name 'Mycenae' - that has no meaning in Greek - perfectly corresponds to the Hebrew 'Mi Sinai' i.e., 'from Sinai'! In other words, unaware of this possible connection, I had concluded that the founders of Mycenae were Israelites from the tribe of Dan - Homer calls the Mycenaeans 'Danoi' - and it turns out that the very name of the city may have reflected their Sinai origins.

4. Gaedils of Ireland "descendents of a Jewish tribe"
ARYANS
http://matter-of-spirit.com/Aryan.htm
The information that the Celtics; the Gaedil or Gaelic were descendents of a Jewish tribe can indeed be found in the Book of Invasions and the Book of Leinster, but had they looked any closer, an even Older name might have caught their attention.
Magog, son of Iafeth, of his progeny are the peoples who came to Ireland before the Gaedil: to wit Partholan ... and Nemed ...and the progeny of Nemed, the Gaileoin, Fir Domnann, Fir Bolg and Tuatha De Danann. Book of Leinster

Now Sru s. Esru s. Gaedel, he it is who was chieftain for the Gaedil
who went out of Egypt after Pharaoh was drowned [with his host in the Red Sea of Israel]:
Seven hundred and seventy years from the Flood till then.
Four hundred and forty years from that time in which Pharaoh was
drowned, and after Sru s. Esru came out of Egypt, till the time when
the sons of Mil came into Ireland, to wit, Eber and Eremon:
whereanent [one] said -
Forty and four hundred of years - it is no falsehood -from

6. Yam and Yah in Ugaritic
Yam (god)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yam_(god)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yam was the god of the sea, and became popular in the Ancient Egyptian times. Yam, from the Canaanite word Yam, (Hebrew ) meaning "Sea", also written "Yaw", is one name of the Ugaritic god of Rivers and Sea.
Yw" in the Baal Cycle
At least one writer has pointed out, regarding the occurrence of "Yw" in the Baal Cycle, that one possible vocalization is "Yaw", and thus may possibly have etymological ties to YHWH of the Hebrew Old Testament.[2]

7. Ugarit-Phoenicia-Cyprus to be dated after 800 BCE
Ugarit
http://www.varchive.org/schorr/ugarit.htm
Extract:
We now leave Asia Minor's northwest coast and travel to the area where its south coast meets northern Syria, to Ugarit and Alalakh.
In the published volume of Ages in Chaos, Velikovsky made a strong case for challenging Ugarit's conventional dates.1 He pointed out many 500-year problems in the literary texts uncovered at the site, and shows the difficulty relating to vaulted Cypriote tombs constructed in the style of those from Ugarit but set 500 years later. For those who have not read or were not already convinced by the material presented by Velikovsky for Ras Shamra-Ugarit, perhaps a couple of additional problems will suffice.
Let us again look at the vaulted tombs of Cyprus. Velikovsky has already mentioned some of these, especially the 7th-century example from Trachonas. The island of Cyprus has an 'astonishing' number of these tombs2 which divide neatly into two series: those assigned to 1550-1200 B.C., and those beginning in 950 B.C. And continuing for some time.3 The first group of vaulted tombs (at Enkomi) corresponds closely in date and style to the Ugaritic tombs, and the type is thought to have come from Syria to Cyprus.4 The second group of Cypriote tombs corresponds to both the Ugaritic and earlier Cypriote examples, but a 250-year gap separates the inception of the second group from the end of the Bronze Age tombs. More important than the 250-year period when no tombs were built in Syria or Cyprus to connect the later tombs to the earlier ones, is the fact that the earliest tombs of each group (i.e., those of 1550 and 950 B.C.), separated by 600 years, are most similar.5
The Cypriote vaulted tombs from 950-600 B.C. seem to undergo the same development as the Enkomi and Ugaritic tombs with 600 years separating the corresponding phases. It has been postulated that the later tombs somehow copied the earlier Cypriote or Syrian ones, but the tombs presumably copied must have been buried and invisible for some 600 years.6
Similar tombs are found in Jerusalem, Asia Minor, and Urartu of the 9th-7th centuries, and again it is thought that they originated in 9th-7th-century Syro-Phoenicia.7 But the only tombs of this type in that region, notably the ones from Ugarit, are placed centuries earlier.
Leaving behind the regions bordering Syro-Phoenicia, we shall travel briefly to an actual Punic colony. In the 9th or 8th century B.C.,8 a group of Phoenicians sailed to North Africa and founded Carthage. One of the oldest archaeological discoveries from the site is a late 8th-century B.C. built tomb 'closely related' to the Ugaritic tombs in architectural plan. 9 It is a 'faithful miniature rendering' of the Syrian tombs both in design and, apparently, in arrangements for religious rites.10 It would hardly be surprising for 8th-century Phoenician colonists to bring over a current tomb type and burial customs from their motherland. The only similar tomb type and burial customs that their motherland can produce, however, are put 500 years earlier. By the accepted scheme, the colonists, ancestors would have been very familiar with these matters, but by the 8th century B.C., the Ugaritic tombs must have been buried over, invisible, and forgotten. 11
How did these tombs of Ugarit serve as models for Cypriots, Israelites, Urartians, Anatolian peoples, and Phoenician colonists, if contemporaneity is denied, and they went out of use and were thus forgotten 500-600 years earlier?

9. Bronze Age Sweden Originated in the East Mediterranean Area!
The Bronze Age in SE Sweden Evidence of Long-Distance Travel and Advanced Sun Cult
http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jgg/article/view/23276
Nils-Axel Morner, Bob G. Lind
Abstract
The Bronze Age of Scandinavia (1750-500 BC) is characterized by the sudden appearance of bronze objects in Scandinavia, the sudden mass appearance of amber in Mycenaean graves, and the beginning of bedrock carvings of huge ships. We take this to indicate that people from the east Mediterranean arrived to Sweden on big ships over the Atlantic, carrying bronze objects from the south, which they traded for amber occurring in SE Sweden in the Ravlunda-Vitemolla-Kivik area. Those visitors left strong cultural imprints as recorded by pictures and objects found in SE Sweden. This seems to indicate that the visits had grown to the establishment of a trading centre. The Bronze Age of Osterlen (the SE part of Sweden) is also characterized by a strong Sun cult recorded by stone monuments built to record the annual motions of the Sun, and rock carvings that exhibit strict alignments to the annual motions of the Sun. Ales Stones, dated at about 800 BC, is a remarkable monument in the form of a 67 m long stone-ship. It records the four main solar turning points of the year, the 12 months of the year, each month covering 30 days, except for month 7 which had 35 days (making a full year of 365 days), and the time of the day at 16 points representing 1.5 hour. Ales Stones are built after the same basic geometry as Stonehenge in England.
