288 PHGENICIAN ORIGIN OF BRITONS & SCOTS

Ancient Britons as “ Sun-worshippers,” that Pliny remarks that the Ancient Persians, who are generally regarded as the pre-eminent Sun-worshippers of the Old World, actually seemed to have derived their rites from Britain.

These further facts in regard to the source and prevalence of “ Sun-worship ’ and Bel-Fire rites in the religion of the One God in Early Britain furnish additional proof that these elements of the Higher Civilization and Religion and their names were introduced into the British Isles by the Aryan Barat Catti, or Brito-Phcenicians.

Fic. 444. St. John-the-Baptist with his Cross-sceptre or Sun-mace. (After Murillo.)
