Dionysos, Alexander the Great and Nyss, the forefathers of Bohemia, Moravians, Silesians

There are several versions of myths about Dionysus, and I am referring to a version I think is least affected by the younger influences: Zeus found affection in Semelé - the beautiful daughter of the earth king Kadma. Diva's affection, as she's been doing, has not gone unheeded. In premature birth, Semelé died, and the late son Zeus stitched to his thigh (according to another version in the side) and so donated him instead of the dead mother.

The son received the name Dionysos, which in translation means "the mediator between Diem and the Nation of the Nyss", which Zeus loved and chose to raise his son. Dionysus grew up and, under the guidance of the sage Silen and the nymph, gained versatile education as determined by Zeus.

The Nyss were one of the leading Aryan tribal associations that gave the Arjans the king and the commander and the foremost sage. The Nyssas lived in the fairy-beautiful Nysaia country, stretching between the rivers Kofen (Kabul) and Ind. Nysa's capital was at the foot of Mount Méros, where they often performed and talked with Father and Son, Zeus and Dionysus.

When he grew up and finished his training, Dionysus received two main tasks from his father: The first was the conquest and civilization of the Orient (India) and the second was the unification of the ancient Greeks and the upliftment of their spirit.

Adult Dionysos was said to be a great image of both father and mother - a bright, light-eyed man with blue eyes and gray-haired hair. Among the selected Aryan young men and women, he founded the Kofenes (Kafir) tribe, with whom he conquered India without difficulty, and introduced a group of administrators and teachers from which the caste of Aryan Brahmans was formed over time.

After returning from India, he left the wounded and sick and the old warriors in Nysai and Kofen, after which he left with his army to civilize the Aryan tribes in the Mediterranean. This was to take place approximately between 3100-2900 BC

According to another version, the Mediterranean was desolate and depopulated at the time by the flood of 3449 BC, and when the Aryan Proto-Greeks enter the Mediterranean with their leader and hero Dionysus, they actually colonize the deserted territory. It is not yet possible to decide which version is closer to the truth.

Mahabharata and the myth of Dionysus describe the same event

The conquest of India by the Dionysos army took place before Dionysus arrived in the Mediterranean, sometimes between 3200-3100 BC. Unless the erroneous dating took place, the conquest of India Arjuna, described in Mahabharata, took place around 3150 BC, which implies the identity of both events and also the two main characters.

We know that both Arjuna and Dionysos are heroes, children of God and mortal earthly mothers. Dionysus' father is Zeus, Arjun's father is Indra. Both fathers of God have a similar function and give their sons the same task - to conquer the Orient. Arjuna conquers India around 3150 BC, Dionysus between 3200-3100 BC

From what I have said, the only conclusion to date is that Mahabharata and the myth of Dionysus describe the same event - and therefore Aryan Arjuna is the Greek Dionysus. When, in 1511 BC, the Thira volcano erupted on Santorini, it destroyed almost the entire island, but also most of the Mediterranean. An enormous surf tsunami wrecked the islands and cities of the sea peoples, especially the Mine of Crete.

Strong volumes of volcanic ash and gases have entered the stratosphere, which has led to a change in sea and air currents and, eventually, to a significant climate change in many places in the Earth. At that time, the Aryan Empire occupied a large part of the originally very fertile Turanian plain between Caspian Lake, Aral Lake and Pamir.

The consequences of the Théry eruption during this century turned out to be a very rapid change in the climate, especially a rapidly growing deficit of moisture causing the drying of the Turanian lowland. In the meantime, very fertile soil has changed into desert over the decades and the rest of fertile soil has not been able to feed numerous Aryan tribes.

The threat of hunger forced Arja to leave his homeland. The Exodus took place in two directions. The western column probably took place in the Dionysus footpath around the southern coast of Caspian Lake, the foothills of the Caucasus and along the southern Black Sea coast to the area defined by Cappadocia, Kilikia, Helespont (Anatolia), Thrace (Bulgaria), Macedonia and Greece.

Strong Aryan columns extruded the original tribal tribes, especially in seaside areas. Thus there is a phenomenon that historians call the migration of "sea peoples" in the Mediterranean. From the region of Macedonia and Thrace, the Dora and the so-called "northwest Greeks" are displaced to the south of Greece.

Both the Dorian and the Northwest Greeks are probably the descendants of the Dionysos military divisions colonizing the Mediterranean between 3200-3100 BC The part of the first Aryan waves, in particular Frygos and Lydds, settled in the newly acquired territory, part of which stopped in northern Italy, from where the original inhabitants pushed into the periphery and into the mountains.

The second Aryan column, dominated by the mountain tribes of the Nyss and perhaps Kofenes, advanced northwest first along the eastern shore of Caspian Lake, and then passed to the Jurassic steppes where they disappeared. I believe that this second Aryan column later developed Western Slavs - Vindes (Winds, Venedes) who were around 6 half. century AD emerged in Europe almost at once, and historians still do not know their origins today.

When Dionysos founded the Kofenes military tribe, he followed the creation of an elite military base whose tradition would be the education of military aristocracy for the army. A similar tendency can be found with Alexander the Great when he creates an elite unit of military aristocracy "Brothers in the Arms," ​​from whose ranks came the later commanders of divisions and commanders.

The Aryan elite also belonged to the Nyss, which, in fact, also derives from the ancient Greek myth about Dionysus. If for Dia, Nyss were good enough teachers of his son Dionysus, there is no doubt that they were the spiritual nobility of the Aryans, who gave the Aryans not only the king but also the spiritual leader, the teacher, the sage, and the physician.

When Alexander the Great arrived with his troops at the Nysaea border with his Indian anabasis, the Nyss were sent to him by thirty ambassadors led by the most prominent citizen named Acufis. These ambassadors have asked Alexander in the name of Dionysus to keep the freedom and independence that Nysai has been for centuries. Let us recall that according to the priesthood of the Siwa Shrine (the ancient Egyptian Sechetam), he was the true father of Alexander Dionysos, not Philip of Macedonia (see Plutarchos, Alex.27).

The Ný delegation drew Alexander's attention to the evidence that in Nýsai his father had indeed been raised, who is an ivy, growing only here and nowhere else in the Orient. According to the ancient Greek tradition, ivy and vines wrap around Dionysus' attribute - thyrses, which is a divine crutch.

Let's keep aside the authenticity of the origin of Alexander, the fact is that Alexandr's requests from the delegation of the Nyss willingly granted, confirmed the liberties and rights of the Nyss, and then with his friends stepped on the nearby mount Méros to honor Dionysus. This episode took place in 325 BC, a period full of Greek culture.

The Northwest Aryan column apparently did not disappear without a trace. It is likely already in 6. century BC The Nyss resided in the Volhynsko-Podolska Highlands, where there was plenty of fertile soil and large uninhabited spaces. Greek historian Hérodotos, in his Histories apodexis, mentions that some tribes north of the Black Sea, roughly in the area now bearing the name Volynia-Podolska Highlands, differ both from ethnicity and culture considerably from Skyth.

These are Budins and Neurons in particular. It can be assumed that Neuros are Lost Nyss, whose name Herodotos erroneously transcribed into Greek. Besides this, there is another one. Archaeologist I.Borkovsky found Slavic ceramics in the area of ​​Prague and gave it the name "ceramics of the Prague type". The same type of ceramics could be identified in larger distribution in Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Polabské Slovany and Western Slovakia. A great surprise for archaeologists was the finds of very similar ceramics in the vast area of ​​Ukraine (the area of ​​Bugu, Tetereva, Dniester, Prut, Transcarpathia, etc.).

According to the main site, this pottery was called "Korčak", later "Prague-Korčak". Archaeologists date these types of ceramics into 5. century AD, but I think they are much older. The problem is that ceramics can not be matched with a similar method to radiocarbon dating.

I think we can assume the Volynian-Podolska Highlands as a locality where the Northwest Arrival Stream settled for a while, and where the metamorphosis of the Indo-European Aryans (and especially the Nyss) occurred in Western Slavs. As the tribes grew stronger, the name of the tribe union "Nyss" was retreated and the names of the individual tribes were smoothed and strengthened: Cichoms, Moravians, Slovains, Chartati, Serbs, Silesians and others.

The name of the tribal union was not forgotten, however, because many toponyms with the Nys or Niš tribes were still preserved in the areas of later permanent settlement (Central Europe, the Balkans).

Repeated droughts in the steppe region brought many nomadic pastoral tribes to the south and west (Hunes, Ava, Hungarians) and their increasing pressure forced Western Slavs-Nyss in the Volynian-Podolska highlands to find new premises to find a fertile land and security for permanent settlement.

At the end of 5. century, the Slavs-Nyss split into two streams and leave western Ukraine. The southern stream progressed through the Wallachian Lowland and the beginning of 6. century South Slavic-Nyss began to occupy the Balkans, especially the area of ​​today's Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia and Dalmatia. The Slovenes' tribe occupied the Carinthian area, and according to some reports, it probably settled the territory of Bavaria to the Lower Pomohani, which formed the border of the Franconian Empire.

However, it is possible that the area of ​​eastern Bavaria was occupied by Western Czech tribes (Chbané, Sedličané). Some historians believe that it is in the area of ​​East Bavaria (or Carinthia) that Sama's empire must be placed, while Sama's castle Wogastisburg was located near Staffelstein.

In favor of this theory, the fact that the Frankish chronicles speak of the struggles of Sama and Avars, which he defeated, is in favor of this theory. By Carinthia and Bavaria, the Avarians were trying to conquer the western territories.

In Bohemia, Wogastisburg can not lie, because in Bohemia, the Avars failed to break through. The Avarians, relocating in 567 from the Black Sea to the Danube and Potisí, with their pressure on the backwater of the southern stream of the Slavs-Nyss, accelerated their migration to the Balkans under the protection of the mountains, which were always difficult for nomads.

The Avar flood has divided South and North Nyssa for so long. Although the Avar was the end of 8. century defeated by Franks and the beginning of the 9 century, scattered by Bulhara, the division continued, because Avars later replaced the nomadic Hungarian tribes settled in the Hungarian Plain.

Some nymphs were divided between the two streams (Moravians, Slovins, Chartati, Serbs), other tribes left only with the northern stream (Cich, Slezane, Doudleb).

Nýská toponyms have been preserved to this day both in the Balkans (town of Niš, river Niša) and in Central Europe (river Nysa Kladsko, Nysa or Nisa Lužická, Polish town of Nysa), but also the name of the people "Nišané", located in the area between Ústí nad Labem. Elbe and Dresden. Almost 15 centuries have passed since the division of the southern and northern Nysa, and during this period history, language and traditions developed in different ways. Nevertheless, our southern cousins ​​have a lot in common with us, especially roots that go deep into the past.

The forefathers of Bohemia, Moravians, Silesians ...

The North Stream of the Nysa had no choice but to go along the northern slopes of the Carpathians, Beskydy, Jeseník and Sudeten. For a relatively short time, the Nyss settled in the territory from Lusatia to Upper Silesia and gradually the individual tribes descended to the south to the Bohemian Basin, to the area of ​​Moravia, Silesia and the territory of western Slovakia.

Since then, the toponyms of the rivers and towns of Nyssa (Nysa Lužicka, Nysa Kladska, Nysa, etc.) have been preserved, but in the memory of the nation the names of the individual tribes of the nyske union have also been preserved: the Cichas, the Moravians, the Serbs ), Silesians, Chartati, Slovenians and others.

Probably about half of 6. the territory between the tribes was divided so that the Serbs settled in the area between the Lusatian Mountains to the Gorge, the Silesians held Silesia to Katowice, the Moravians of Moravia, and the Slovene occupied the area around Javorníky, Chřibů and the White Carpathians. The Cichové and their associated families (Lemúzi, Děčané, Milčané, Lutomerici, Pšenáni, Zličané, Chbané, Sedličané) occupied the Czech basin, ranging from Dresden to Bavarian Bayreuth.

The southern and western parts of the Bohemian Basin were held by Doudleb, the eastern part of Charvát, Poohří and Lucans. The olfactory (later Czechs) settled on Wednesday. The backfire of the Nyss formed by selected military units from the individual tribes settled approximately in the area of ​​the northwest Ore Mountains, in the territory between today's cities of Dresden, Aue, Zwickau.

It was the protection of the entrance gate to the Bohemian Basin - the Elbe River, and especially the attacks from the northwest through the Chlumeck Pass, the area of ​​the Frankish Empire. This militant-democratic entity came to the moment under the name "Nishan", and after the consolidation of the power of the Czech sovereigns it ceased.

I think that the main weight of the fight against the Franks invaders was carried by this Niṣan entity, at least to the beginning of 8. century. In fact, the Nazis were the forerunners of the West Bohemian Chods, and they can only regret that very few reports have been preserved.

The reader certainly realizes that the original territory occupied by the tribal union of the Nyss was more extensive than today's territory of Bohemia and Silesia. However, when we consider the hard, more than a thousand-year pressure of the Germanic element on the western Slavs-Nysa, we can only appreciate the bravery and hardness of the defenders of this space, but especially the political and military-strategic ability of the Czech princes and kings who retained a little truncated legacy.

A record of the arrival of the Czechs in Kosmas Chronicle

The Elbe and coastal Slavs north and northwest of Bohemia did not succeed and lost in the battles with the Germans. The beautiful legend about the arrival of the Czechs, recorded in the Cosmos Chronicle, which we later recognize so masterfully presented by Professor A. Jirásek in Old Czech Legends, needs to be corrected somewhat (not too).

Especially Western Slavs, at least in the Czech and Moravian regions, did not accept their tribal names even after their elders, or even from the local names of their settlements. It is just the reverse when the settlements are named by the tribes or genera names and also reflect the traditions with which Nyss came to the new settlements.

These tribal names were preceded by the arrival of the Nyss in the area of ​​Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Slovakia, and at least have a beginning in the period of differentiation and formation of the tribes at the time when the Nyss settled in the Volyn region long before dividing the northern and southern Nyssa. That is why the Moravians, Serbs, Chartati and Slovinians retained their tribal names, both in the north and in the south, to the present day.

The names of the tribes could not be taken over from the surviving Celtic toponyms, because then the tribes living in the Elbe basin would have to be named Albisans or Albans. The original name of one of the Dutch tribes was the Cichos, or perhaps the Cine, only softened over time to the "Czechs".

Another mistake is the claim of old chroniclers that the Slavic tribes were coming to a deserted or very sparsely populated area of ​​Bohemia and Moravia. At the time of the arrival of the Nyss, most of the area was covered with deep and dense forests, almost impervious to those who did not know local passages and trails. In these forests or rather in the forests, especially in the foothills and the highlands, numerous Celtic families lived here around the turn of the year by Germanic Markomans and Kvadas.

It is likely that a significant part of the original Celtic entity did not even come into direct contact with Markomans or Kvadas and has evolved in this space as an autochthonous entity since its arrival from the West, at least since 8. century BC In the lowland Poohri, Polabi, Pootaví and Povltavi probably lived isolated and small groups with a large proportion of Celtic blood.

They could have been the descendants of the Fight and Markoman, but they never created a larger family group whose name would be preserved to this day. Kosmas tells us in his chronicle that the grandfather of the tribe, who entered the Bohemian Basin, ascended to Mount Říp and with his hands to the heavens uplifted proclaimed his greeting: "Welcome, the land we are condemned with thousands of promises promised ..."

At that time, the chief of the tribe was at the same time the highest tribal high priest. Similarly to the Chief of the Cichos, the chiefs of the other tribes of the Nyss, to take the new land from the heavens for their people, and the Supreme Beatitudes took tributes.

When we consider this, does it not mean the congressional and holding ceremonies of the Celtic druids? But I can offer the reader another surprise. The name "Říp" is probably of Celtic origin, and it was certainly a significant Celtic sanctuary - nemethon, at its peak before the arrival of the Cich.

However, the chiefs of the ny tribes also performed on other hills for the same purpose, especially Kaňk u Kutné Hory, Hostýn, Oskobr a dominanty at Liběnice, Dolní Lipnice, etc. Is it surprising that all of them were also significant Celtic nemethons?

It's strange, but the chiefs and high priests of the Nyss seem to know very well where they come and who are "home" ... The fact that new arrivals are accepted without fighting friction and precipitation is unusual in itself. The explanation can be seen only in the fact that the Nyss were expected and welcomed by the Celtic settlers as a blood-related people whose arrival had long been announced by the Druids.

However, some significant nemethons, which have both deep and mystical significance for the Celts and Nyss, and their descendants, are not always accurately understood.

I am thinking in particular of three of them - Vyšehrad, Blaník and Hostýn. With Hostyn, the symbol of a black-haired woman standing on a crescent crescent is surrounded by a starry amusement. This symbol is ancient and refers to the beginnings of Celtic civilization. It is the symbol of the Magna Mater, sometimes also identified with the goddess Isis, who is dressed in a red dress and wrapped in a black or dark blue cloak.

At the time of Christianity, the Great Mother's symbol was transformed into Marian idol cult (total prasárna, remarks ragauian), as well as in many places in Western Europe. But it can only be admitted that the interpretation of this symbol, and in particular its relation to Hostyn, continues to resist decipherment.
