Mysteries of Calabria

Mysteries of Calabria

History, myths, legends and literary sources to tell an ancient and fascinating earth With the discovery of some megalitis near a called place Nardodipace, can begin our trip to ever face a matter very deepened, the first tenants of Calabria.

I remember you that with this name in very ancient times however the peninsula salentina was pointed out, earth of the Messapis, some groups of which, called Calabri, they moved him in the region, assuming the name of Calabria in definitive way in Byzantine epoch, after having been, in its southern extremity, called Italy.

The Italiotis or the Italis, were not the alone inhabitants of the place, because in different periods, moments, this earth was invaded by the Siculis, from the Morgetis, from the Tirrenis, Oschi, Opici, Iapigi, Enotri, Caoni, Bruzi, Ausoni, Aurunci and others..
Could the megalitis, connect us really to the civilization of the Auruncis?

Who were?

An ancient hyperborean people that, according to some studious ones, perhaps Britain invaded bringing with itself the stellar cult of Stonehenge (Beinstein, the Lord's Stone), and that he would be appropriated, in prehistoric epochs, in the different places of the Mediterranean one. To Nardodipace as to Malta she would have left her imprint megalitis.

Behind the local myth of the cult of the Stone of the Lord, as also in that more fabulous than the brooding from the gold chicks, of the human sacrifices, particularly of newborns, and of treasures guarded by demons terrified, the hidden architectural origin of sepulchral structures or cult he would hide that could represent some mystical thresholds toward unknown dimensions.

Such said granite structures "to door", constituted by two pillars surmounted by a lintel, that very they remember the dolmens erected by the Celtis, that is the boundaries megalitis of the civilization micenea or of the Homeric Sow (and perhaps in Temples of other known civilizations), I am a clear testimony of a culture that had advanced knowledges in the workmanship of the stone and the lithic joints.

What is the Stone of the Lord?

And' a stone that weighs around 200 tons and the rocky pillars they are tall around 6 meters.
A presence that well it represents those populations that over cinquemila ago years installed him in an area that goes from Nardodipace to Stylus, from Greenhouse St. Bruno to the Ferdinandea, in a zone called Plain of Ciano. (this part can be seen again, even pointing out only in general this zone as Plain of Ciano).

The questions are so many, that is treated of boundaries of surrounded to protect a community or perhaps of buildings of cult, the mystery of their presence doesn't change and is alive. All the hypotheses and the suggestions that mix him to the questions are inserted in the imaginary collective, in the myths, in the stories fabulous. Behind the tied up solar culture to the ancient science of the stock auruncica or ausonica, that you/he/she has left some traces megalitis, the most remote secrets of the civility of the ancient Sumeris they would perhaps be celebrated. (Shumer from Schem-ur, the people of the Schem, the celestial stone).

Who were these men?

This hyperborean stock, appeared on the earth in epoch neolitica, it was the depositary of the Gnosi sapienziale (acquisition of knowledge) and of the sacred science that from the Mesopotamia it came up to the south Italy. True in fact that the anagram of the same name of Calabria, Air Balak, means note Superior Asia or Hyperborean Stock.

Who were the Auruncis and the Ausonis?

They defined children of the sun, and that you/they would have invaded the Bretannia with their cult, they also crossed the mythological seam of Brettium, and that they conjugated their blood with the dynasty of Enea and Ascanio that it boasted him to have been produced from the lightning and from the thunder as the monstrous child of Volcano Broteo.

The Brezis or the Bruzis

These, constituted a population that established him around the IV sec. to. C. in the zone most southern of the peninsula, castling herself on the mountains, in how much the coasts were busy from the megalo-Hellenic colonies. They fought against Alexander of Epiro and subsequently against Agatocle in Syracuse, succeeding so to get the independence.

Their more important center seems pits Numestro, the actual Nicastro. They belonged to the people lucane; the Greek called them brittici, while the Latins mocked them with the term of bruttii or bruttates. But the voice Brezia or Brittia it would derive from the Celtic Bret, forest, or better from the caldeo brot, resin, or still from the siriano brut, resinous pasta. But also the voice Calabria could derive from the Jewish caleb, that means resin, in how much its ground was covered by dense forests of resinous plants. And calabri was defined the belonging ones to one of the two groups in which the people of the Messapis divided him of Greek origin.

According to such a fascinating hypothesis as however not supported by scientific tests, the cults post-diluviani, from some defined venusianis, of the people aramaici, descending of Noè and of Aschenez, you/they would have been common both to the Greek of the Megalo Ellade and to the Celtis. For which the mysticism of the venus Genetrix, the mother of Enea, and of the regal stock Beinstein, would have had one continuation of his really in the south of Italy in the Norman ones and in the Veblinghens, through the genealogy of the Byzantine principles Puoti, descending of Davide and having for heraldic coat of arms really his lion.

The testimonies megalitis post-diluvianes would be anymore for the a sort of dramatization planimetrica of constellations in which the threshold of the myth is symbolically disclosed. These architectures undoubtedly conceal a superior knowledge for the epoch neolitica, what that that only a chosen stock could guard on the earth.

That Gnosi was contained in the seal of the sacred Science, at first from the Sumeris, subsequently from how much they came to inherit the custody of the cults obscure and of the light of the civilization, from the ancient Egyptians to the Greek, from the Celtis to the Romans, and so following street. The giant stones, worked by human hands, they would bring so to the transcendent dynasty of the Veiblinghens, and the Stones of the other Lord would not be that a demonstration of the divine cult and the real stock.

The term Veib, with which it was suitable also the ancient Vibo, renamed then Monteleone, it also recalls the myth of the Mountain of Venus, of that Venus Genetrix, author of the divine stock of the ruling ones, implicitly stigmatized by the brooding by the gold eggs of Teodolinda of Bisanzio. Classical mythology narrates us of Ausonio, child of Ulisse and Calipso, that (the nymph from the beautiful curls) would have been the founder of a southern tribe of the Umbris, the Ausonis, that would have given their name to the whole peninsula for a certain period, said therefore Ausonia, and still to the sea that bathes the coast calabra.

In the age of the iron they lived the Sannio, and the Latins defined them Osci, that is hard-working while the Greek called them Opici and they held them Osci that was gathered to the Sannitis, even if in origin he had to treat him of people of Indo-European language, similar to the Ausonis, algi Etruschi, to the Latins and the Siculis.

For Aristotle Oschi or Opici, Aurunci and Ausoni they were the same population. The voice Opici or Opigia, derive from the Greek Ops earth, that was the divinity consort of the god Saturn for the Romans. The other etymologies refer to Ofs, that instead means snake, and it remember us the cults ofidiani described in the Bible and still present in center-Italy (example Cucullo), while in the etimology, “penke”, brings back to the pitch, the pasta resinous more times quoted.

The Auruncis would have emigrated partly in the Lazio, partly in Campania, where they are remembered by the etimology of the city of Sessa Aurunca. In the V sec. to. C., from the Gargano they came down the lapigis coming from the Illiria and from the Epiro, and in Calabria they confused him with the Messapis of Hellenic origin.

The italis or Italioti, belonged instead to an only log, that according to Aristotle, it drew his/her etymology from the name of the king of the Enotris, Italo, which civilized her people, furnishing him orders and laws, making it go out of the savage world of the uncultivated woods, and instructing it in the art of the agriculture. Insofar the first king of Italy is considered since that time.

According to Antioco Siracusano, however, the word Italy appeared for the first time in an essay of peace with the Tarantinis. The name would derive from Vitelia or Vitola, because of an episode, relative to one of the twelve works of Ercole. The hero would have lost you one of the calves of the herds of Gerione, in Greek also called Italos, that, as Varrone sustains in the "de King Rustic", he wants to say bull.

Ercole, then, in the Egyptian idiom, it corresponds to With, the same name of that mysterious population, the Caonis, of which she would be been able to be identified as a progenitor. For others instead, the hero eponymous would be been able to be Caone, child of Priamo and Ecuba, as well as brother of the diviner Eleno, which would have produced those people coming from the north-western Epiro, and precisely from that region that from them it was said Caonia. The Greek defined them Xaones and the Latin Chaoneses, but their name would derive from Kon, capable, strong, from Kannen or from Kama, value, power.

Very more complicated and twisted their bond with the lucanis (Lu-Caoni) and with the Enotris. Which last came down from the child of Cillene and Licaone (They-Caone), the king of Arcadia, Enotrio, that had come to occupy the extremity of the peninsula. Initially they established him in the band that unites the Gulf of Squillace to that of S.Eufemia. The Greek etymology brings back to the wine, that Jewish to the pitch.

For other authors, the etimo Italy is a derivation to consider from the Phoenician Itar, pitch, because of the wealth of the forests that the tops of the Pollino covered, of the Sila, of the Greenhouses and of the Aspromonte and that they furnished the resin to the Romans for descent to make the ships of their fleet.

The Italis occupied in a first alone time a small part of the region. The Romans actually extended the territory of so-called Italy to understand her in full. In the III B.C. it actually contained the whole peninsular part of the Arno to the Narrow one of Messina, and in 42 to. C. it came to designate the whole peninsula of the Alps here.

The Morgetis, origins.

They belonged to an ancient population that, at first it cohabited with the Siculis in the southern part of the Bruzio, and that then it transmigrated in Sicily, leaving in the province most southern the toponimo of St. George Morgeto. The Siculis of Indo-European stock, were established in Lucania and in Calabria in the II millennium to. C. Having invaded the earths of the Oschis and the Auruncis, you/they were sent away from there, pushed toward the sea and forced to the crossing of the Narrow one, getting the name to the island.

The Siculis were considered Tirreni and in an one of the fables of Igino, as in the Metamorphoses of Ovidio, it tells him of a joke perpetrated by some sailors Tirreni to drunk Bacchus and dozed off on the shores of the sea calabro. The fury of the derided god forced them to throw him in water, because on the beach the fierce beasts of its succession were assembled. The Tyrrhenian sea would draw such definition from this episode. But for the Greek, substantially, the Tirrenis corresponded to the Etruschis and they were very presumably of the Pelasgis coming from the Lidia, the ancient region of smaller Asia.

Dionigi of Alicarnasso tells that groups of Arcadi driven by Enotrio and by Paucenzio, would have landed on the shores of the Ionian, already before the war of Sow. Other possible origins of the Enotris would bring to the Tessaglia, or to the Argolide, to the Etipia or, in general, to Africa, or to the people of the Sabinis. Ferecide in fact it was of the opinion that the Enotris were of origin pelasgica, whose etymology brings back to Phaleg, dispersion, that is wandering, or emigrated.

The pelasgis, after all, the first ones and the most ancient inhabitants in Calabria are certainly held. In how much they would immediately have landed on our shore after the downpour of Deucalione, well three centuries before the destruction of sow. They came from the east, from the central zones of Asia or from the gulfs Arabic and Persian for some, for others in the opposite direction, for others they still came down from north, the hyperborean region, but there is who slants to unite them to the Celtis or to the Scitis, that spoke a language derived by the sanscrito.

Their founder, classical mythology identifies it in Pelasgo, king of Arcadia, which the Licaone produced, founder of Licosura, that would have been the first city of the world. Licaone, among her numerous children he would also have had Megisto and Callisto, the greatest and the most beautiful, connected with the mythological theme of Artemide Brauronia, divinity of the bears, having been transferred both these denominations to the constellations of the Greatest Orsa and smaller.

Artemide Brauronia was revered under the aspect of Orsa, what ancestor of the Arcadis, which they pretended to come down from a joining of the virgin with the same Jupiter. Ovidio narrates however of as the highest God he was fallen of the beauty of Callisto, identifiable with the same Artemide, and of as her pits rather bashful to his offers of love. To deceive her, the astute divinity of the Olimpo, would have drawn near her under the bare female of the goddess, which had gotten used to devote her caresses rather you deepen. But the true virago, since it personifies the uncontaminated nature, virgin for antonomasia, really because of this indiscretion and of the relative sexual contagion, it estranged her from his succession.

In the wood Callisto gave birth to Arcade, and therefore Giunone, for jealousy, it turned the feminine into Orsa. Arcade, adult chased it, but in the moment to suppress its bestial forms, she was transformed in the constellation of Boote. Giunone did so that the rival she was never welcomed by Ocean and Teti. And in fact the Greatest Orsa, that is found in polar position, doesn't know sunsets, as Humerus confirms in the odyssey: ". and the Orsa, that said it is also the wagon, and there he turns, looking in Orione, and alone in the liquid Oceàn disdains to wash him."

The myth, also in this case, it shades the separation that would have happened in times, of which memory is lost between the hyperborean region and the Mediterranean area.
