The Phœnician origin of Britons, Scots & Anglo-Saxons : discovered by Phœnician & Sumerian inscriptions in Britain, by preroman Briton coins & a mass of new history : with over one hundred illustrations and maps
244 PHGINICIAN ORIGIN OF BRITONS & SCOTS
O =3600 (Sar, Di). “ Perfect, complete, Goodness.”” God Ana (‘ The One”’).t Sun-god Swy (ASuy or Bil).2 Highest Judge (Di)* Heaven, Paradise.‘ =36,000 (Saru, Infinity). OO (La) God, Ta or Induru (Indara.)*
We thus find that the Father-god of the Sumerians (and of the Hitto-Phcenicians), whose earliest-known name, as recorded on the Udug trophy Bowl of the fourth millennium B.C., 1s “‘ Zage’’ (or Za-ga-ga, which, with the soft g gives us the original of “ Zeus,’ the Dyaus and Sakka of the Vedas and Pali, and the “ Father Sig’ or Ygg of the Gothic Eddas) is recorded by the single-circle sign as having the equivalent of Ia or Bel, thus giving us the Aryan original of ‘ Jah”’ (or “ Jehovah’) of the Hebrews, and the “ Father Ji (or Ju-piter) ” or Jove of the Romans.
This title of Ja (or ‘“‘ Jove’’) for the Father-god (Bel), as represented by the single circle, is defined as meaning “‘ God of the House of the Waters,” which is seen to disclose the Sumerian source of the conception of Jove as “ Jupiter Pluvius”” of the Romans. This special aspect and function
of the Father-god was obviously conditioned by the popular
need of the Early Aryans in their settled agricultural life for timely rain and irrigation, with water for their flocks and herds, as well as their seafaring life. We therefore find him often represented in the sacred seals of the Sumerians and Hittites, from about 4000 B.c. onwards, as holding the vase or vases of “ Life-giving Waters,’ which are seen issuing from his vase, and which he as “‘ The Living God ” bestows upon his votaries (see Fig. 35).®
This beautiful,conception of the bountiful Father-god by our Early Aryan ancestors, and authors of the cup-mark inscriptions, at so very remote a period, which is preserved in their sacred seals as well as in the contemporary inscribed tablets, renders it desirable here to draw attention to the vast treasure-house of authentic early history of our ancestors which is conserved in these sacred seals of the Sumerians,
