  have extended wherever Phoenician colonies were founded. She symbolized the productive power

  while Og symbolic of the generative power; and it would be natural to conclude that as the sun is the

  great symbol of the latter, and identified with Og. The moon and the Earth are the symbols of the

  former and can be identified with Ashtaroth. Ashtaroth called by the Roman Astarte was identified by

  many ancient writers with the goddess Venus or Aphrodite as well as with the planet of that name.

  The name of the idles for Ashtaroth was called Asherah, which translates to “grove.” Kings II 23:13:

  “And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of

  corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth..(14) And broke in pieces the

  images and cut down the groves.”

  Earth Mother/Goddess, Peter Knight writes, “ The concept of the “Mother Earth” or “Mother

  Nature” has roots that go back thousands of years, to prehistoric cultures devoted to the worship of an

  omnipresent feminine deity. In ancient times the Earth Mother or Goddess was a primary deity, the

  spiritual driving force that inspired the building of so many temples and megalithic sites worldwide.”

  The groves that were worshipped is an example of animism that is part of Earth Mother worship,

  where trees, rocks, springs and rivers were thought to be endowed with spirits. Menhirs and stone

  circles are in some instances made up of un-worked stones. Whole stones are tied to the Earth Mother.

  An example of the importance of the stones in their natural state is evident when God commanded Moses to build an alter. “Deuteronomy 27:5,6; “And there shalt thou build an alter unto the Lord thy

  shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. Thou shalt build the alter of the Lord thy God of whole

  stones:” The practice of anointing the stones was practiced by the Phoenicians and the early Hebrews.

  Genesis 28:18 “ And Jacob...took the stone, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.”

  Paganism was practiced by, and described by the early Hebrews. No doubt from their proximity to,

  and intermarrying with the last remnants of the Amorites. Ezekiel 16:3 “And say, Thus saith the Lord

  God unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and

  thy mother an Hittite.” The Amorites and Hittites lived in Jerusalem prior to the Israelites conquest,

  where their place names still exist today.

  Phoenician Origins of the Britons and Scots, 1925. The presence of Gentile Sun-priests in the temple

  on Mt. Moriah at Jerusalem is explained by the fact that; besides the name “Moriah”-which is

  recognized as meaning “mount of the Morias or Amorites”-that temple, long before the occupation of

  Jerusalem by David and its rebuilding by Solomon, was a famous ancient Suntemple of the Hittites or

  Amorites.”

  Ezekiel has a vision shown to him by God of the abominations of the Amorites and their temple.

  This vison of the temple comes on the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month. This

  surely was symbolic of 666 which was the number in gematria for the Sun. In Ezekiel 8:14, he is

  describing the temple, and the sun worshippers, “Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the

  Lord's house which was towards the north; and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.”

  Tammuz is identified as Adonis the Amorite sun-god. It was the practice of the Amorite women to

  yearly mourn Adonis at the summer solstice sunrise, when the sun was at its furthest point in the

  northern sky and the day was the longest. In Ezekiel 8:16 he describes men in the temple “and their

  faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.” This practice was allowed by

  Solomon who built the temple and reserved the outside courtyard for the worship of the sun. The landscape mythology of the Amorites acted as a vehicle to join the powers of the Earth and the

  Sky. Theory of Geometry, Geomacy and Sacred Landscape, Cerrig, 2004 “Amongst the earliest sites

  of this kins were sacred springs where the stuff of life, enlivend by the earth energies, bubbled from the

  mother earth. There would have been trees that by their placement and age showed the union of

  heaven and earth and so echoed the great World Tree which in many mythologies support the

  universe.”

  The union of Heaven and Earth is called the Sacred Marriage or the

  Holy Union of Opposites and is

  the cornerstone of all of the sacred sites that are found associated with the Amorites. To know the

  sacred landscape that existed before the Hebrews conquest of Israel, is to know the archetype of the

  burial mounds and circular temples dedicated to the Sun and Earth that are found in the British Isles

  and in the Ohio Valley. From the early Biblical lands we have the accounted giants, that have been

  described as Cro-Magnon, state of the art weapons, burial mounds surrounded by rings, circular open

  air sun temples, that included avenues or sacred vias, sacred stones, springs and groves dedicated to the

  Earth Mother. Symbolism included cup stones, swastikas and crosses. The practice of gematria, implies a knowledge of complex mathematics.

  The Amorites in the British Isles

  Phoenician Orgins of Britons and Scots 1925 “The approximate date for the initial erection of these

  rude Stone Circles and other early megaliths in Britain appears to have been many centuries and even a

  millennium or more before the arrival of Brutus about 1100 B.C., or about 2800 B.C., or earlier. This

  is evident from the geographic and geological correlation of these monuments to the prehistoric tin and

  copper mine working, flint factories and neolithic villages. These relationships make it clear that these

  monuments were erected by the earlier branch of the sea-trading Phoenicians, who were exclusively

  engaged in mining for the bronze trade in the East, and using that metal in Britain sparingly

  themselves, and not engaged to any considerable extent, if at all, as agricultural colonist, such as were

  Brutus and his later Brito-Phoenicians, who used bronze more freely, as attested by their tombs, bronze

  sickles, ect. Whilst the numerous "Barat," "Catti" and "Cassi" place-names on so many of their sites

  and the "Catt-Stanes" testify that their erectors were "Catti" or "Cassi" Barats or Brito-Phoenicians, as

  were the Amorites. The physical type of the builders of these Stone Circles and Megaliths is obviously

  that represented by the skeletons of tallish Nordic type found with Iberian or Pictish type found in the

  long barrow burial burial mounds, chambered cairn and stone cist of the late Stone and Early Bronze

  Ages in the neighborhood of these circles.”

  The British Isles A Resume of Skeletal History, Coons 1939 “By far the most important Neolithic

  movement into Great Britain, and into Ireland as well, came by sea from the Eastern Medeteranean

  lands, using Spain as a halting point on the way. It was this invasion which passed up the Irish Channel

  to western and northern Scotland, and around Denmark and Sweden. The settlers who came by sea

  were the Megalithic People, who belonged to a clearly differentiated variety of tall, extremely long

  headed.”

  Sun and Fire Symbols from Bronze Age Denmark. Archaic England, Bayley, 1920

  “It was long ago observed that the distribution of these prehistoric megaliths or
“great stones” over

  part of the world followed mainly the coast lines, thus presuming that their erectors were a seafaring

  people. Moreover, a these monuments are most numerous in the East, it is generally agreed that this

  cult in Britain, Brittany, Scandinavia, Spain and the Mediterranean basin was derived from the East.

  The distribution of the megalithic monuments in different parts of the world would suggest that their

  builders were engaged in exploiting the mineral wealth of the various countries. These megaliths all

  the world over are located in the immediate neighborhood of ancient mine workings for tin, copper,

  lead and gold or in the area of the amber trade.”

  Phoenician Origin of the Britons & Scots, 1925. “The great “prehistoric” Stone Circles of gigantic

  unhewn boulders, dolmens (or “table stones”) and monoliths, sometimes called Catt Stones still

  standing on weird majesty over many parts of the British Isles , also now appear to attest their Phoenician origin.”

  It has been estimated that there were somewhere between five and ten thousand megaliths in the

  British Isles that stretched from south England to Ireland, Scotland and as far north as the Orkney

  Islands and the Shetlands. In Megalithic Sites in Britain, Thom writes, “ It is remarkable that 1000

  years before the earliest mathematicians of classical Greece, people in these islands not only had a

  practical knowledge of geometry and were capable of setting out elaborate geometrical designs but

  could also set out ellipses based on Pythagorean triangels. We need not be surprised to find that their

  calender was a highly developed arrangement involving an exact knowledge of the length of the year or

  that they had set up many stations for observing the eighteen year cycle of the revolution of the lunar

  nodes.”

  Evidence of the widespread prevalence of “sun-worship” amongst the ancient Catti Barats or

  Britions who erected the prehistoric Stone Circles in Britain is shown in their “Cup-markings” which

  are sometimes found carved upon the stones of these circles, in funeral barrows [mounds], upon some

  standing stones, dolmans and stone cist coffins, and on rocks near Ancient Briton settlements over a

  great part of the British Isles, and in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe and the Levant, associated

  with megalith culture.

  Sun Cross and Cup-markings which are are found carved upon the stones within circles, upon standing stones, dolmans and stone -cist coffins. They are found over the greater extent of the British Isles, Scandinavia and other parts of Europe and the Levant, associated with the Amorites and megalithic culture.

  These Stone Circles have been supposed to have been used to track the movements of the sun has

  been inferred from the existence of special entrances at the cardinal points, and also from the elaborate

  avenues attached to some of them, and supposed to have been used for ritualistic processions; and also

  suggested by the apparent later use of some of them by the Druids as temples. They were undoubtedly

  considered sacred, as seen in the frequency of ancient burials in their neighborhood. This is especially

  evident at Stonehenge where the great numbers of tombs of the Bronze Age in the neighborhood of that

  monument.

  The space in which these circles are found are usually deliminated by an earthwork called a “henge.”

  A henge is described by Wikipedia encyclopedia as, “ A roughly circular or oval-shaped flat area over

  20m in diameter which is enclosed and delimited by a boundary earthwork that usually comprises a

  ditch with an external bank. Access to the interior is obtained by way of one, two, or four entrances

  through the earthwork. Internal components may include portal settings, timber circles, post rings,

  stone circles, four stone settings, monoliths, standing post, pits, coves, post alignments, burials, central

  mounds, and stake holes.”

  Phoenician Origin of the Britons & Scots, 1925. “ The mysterious race who erected these

  cyclopean monuments, wholly forgotten and unknown, now appears from the new evidence to have

  been the earlier wave of immigrant mining merchant Phoenician Barats, or “Catti” Phoenicians of the Mur, Mer or Martu clan-“The Amorite Giants” of the Old Testament tradition. And from whom it

  would seem that Albion obtained its earliest name (according to the First Welsh Triad) of Clas Myrd-in

  (or Merddin)” or “Diggings of the Myrd.”

  “This early Phoenician title of Muru, Mer, Martu or Maratu, meaning “Of the Western Sea (or Sea of

  the setting sun)”, which now seems obviously the Phoenician of the name “Mauret-ania” or “Mor

  occo” with its teeming megaliths, and of “Mor-bihan” (or “Little Mor) in Brittany, with its sun cult

  megaliths, is also found in several of the old mining and trading centers of the earlier Phoenicians in

  Brition associated with Stone Circles and megaliths and mostly on the coast, eg., Mori-dum, port of

  Romans in Devon, and several More-dun.”

  “Amorites of Syria Phoenicia-Palestine are called “giants” by the Hebrew in the Old Testament.

  They are moreover, also called them the sons of (Beni-anak) Now “Anak” in Akkadian is the name for

  “Tin” and Tarnish, which, as Tarz or Tarsus, we have seen was the chief port of the Amorite

  Phoenicians, and was actually visited and conquered by Sargon I., is thus celebrated in the Old

  Testament in connection with Tyre of the Phoenicians. “Tarnish was thy merchant by reason of of the

  multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.”( Ezek, 27, 12)

  It would thus appear that the tin which was imported into ancient Palestine, and which entered into

  the bronze that decorated Solomon's temple, and formed sacred vessels in that sanctuary, was

  presumably obtained in most part, if not altogether, from the Phoenician Tin-mines of Ancient Britain.”

  There is also the possibility that some of the bronze was made from Lake Superior copper, that was

  being mined at the same time.

  Remains of the Prehistoric Age in England, 1904, “Extensive settlements and many ruined

  chambers are found throughout western and northern Britain. The open flint-bearing chalk uplands of

  Wiltshire and the similarly unforrested Cotteswold Hills were the scene of extensive settlements. The

  chambers of this area were built in “long barrows,” an elongated mound of a form occasionally found

  in Brittany or Amorica, thus divulging the Amorite connection. The multiple chambers of many of the

  English and Welsh “passage graves” and the frequency of cremation also suggests that Brittany was the

  dominant intermediary. Megalithic chambers are lacking in the long barrows of southern parts of

  Wiltshire and Dorset. Local supplies of suitable stone are lacking in these more southerly districts and

  the culture was apparently not sufficiently vigorous to induce the transportation of the megalithic

  blocks over long distances, as was done in Iberia and in Britain itself in the later, Bronze Age

  monument of Stonehenge.

  The burned timber found in these barrows suggests that here the megalithic chamber was reproduced

  in wood and consumed by fire af
ter the completion of the internments.”

  Long Barrow at West Kennett, England, surrounded by standing stones. From Remains of the Prehistoric Age in England, 1904

  They Came by Sea, 1945 “The physical type of the builders of these stone circles and megaliths is

  obviously that represented by the skeletons of the tall Nordic type (with some others of the smaller

  river-bed and mixed Iberian or Pictish type) the long barrow mounds, chambered Cairns and stone cist

  of the Late Stone Ages in the neighborhood of these circles. And it was presumably early pioneer

  stragglers of this same Nordic stock at the end of the Old Stone age who are who are represented by the

  “Red Man” of Paviland cave, in the Gower peninsula of Wales, of the mammoth age, and the “Keiss

  chief” in the stone cist. Both of these interred with rude stone weapons, and are interred with rude

  stone weapons, and are of the superior and artistic Cro-Magnon type of early men, which seems to have

  been the proto-Nordic or proto-Aryan. These early Nordic people, who buried near the Circles, were

  generally found in their tombs laid on their right side, and their face usually facing eastward to the rising Sun, thus evidencing their solar religion and belief in resurrection.”

  Amorite, Beaker People

  Henge with central mound located near Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. From Ancient History of Wiltshire, 1812

  According to the Archaeology of the Bible by George Barton, The Aryans (Amorites) separated into

  an eastern and western branch; the latter we can trace from Asia to Europe. They founded colonies in

  the Delta of the Danube, and spread westward along the Danube into Germany and the valleys of the

  Rhine, the Loire and Seine, and still pushing westward established themselves into Brittany and Great

  Britain.

  The Bell Beaker people took advantage of, and improved transportation routes by sea and rivers to

  mine and trade mineral resources. They introduced the use of copper and bronze weapons as they

  expanded into new lands. Artifacts suggest an Iberian source for the earliest copper, followed by

  central European mines being exploited. Distinct to this people was their cord impressed, tulip shaped
