to The Book of Mormon in the Classical Historywriting
Mormons curious Hagoth was the historical Irish druïd inquiries
Taking "the promised land" in 1Nephi 18:23 as Israel, all events in
the
BoM could be traced in classical history writing in the same year.
So the horrible sophisticated wars in the BoM are no more than the 3
Mithridatric wars between Rome and Pont.
The linguistic wonder Mithridates 6 was Mosiah with the gift of god
of
tongues.
After the pacification of the east by Pompey, there was for two
Centuries a stalemate in the Middle East between the Romans
(Lamanites) and the Zoroastric Parts (Zoramites., in which was the
very peaceful area under Cesar August, 30vC -14nC, the so called
"Pax Romano". In this time the Parths commenced the silk route of
China to Rome and were the migrations of the Goths around the Black
Sea.
In 20bC the Roman Cesar August and the Parthian king Phraates 4
arrived
to a "peaceful understanding" in which Rome sustained further
expansion
and the Parths returned the legion standards of Crassus and Marc
Anthony. (see my posting Crassus in America ?)
Helaman 6:7 And behold, there was peace in all the land, insomuch
that
the Nephites did go into whatsoever part of the land they would,
whether among the Nephites or the Lamanites.
6:8 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did also go whithersoever
they would, whether it were among the Lamanites or among the
Nephites;
and thus they did have free intercourse one with another, to a buy
and
to sell, and to get gain, according to their desire.
After the death of Moroni/Archelaus in the BoM there started a big
migration to the lands northwards first by land and later by boats.
Alma 63:3 > And it came to pass that Moroni died also. And thus
ended
the thirty and sixth year of the reign of the judges.
Helaman 6:4 And it came to pass that in the *thirty and seventh year
of the reign of the judges [55Bc]there was a large company of men,
even
to the amount of five thousand and four hundred men, with their wives
and their children, departed out of the land of Zarahemla into the
land
which was northward.
5 And it came to pass that Hagoth, he being an exceedingly curious
man,
therefore he went forth and built him an exceedingly large ship, on
the
borders of the land Bountiful, by the land Desolation, and launched
it
forth into the west sea, by the narrow neck which led into the land
northward.
6 And behold, there were many of the Nephites who did enter therein
and
did sail forth with much provisions, and also many women and
children;
and they took their course northward. And thus ended the thirty and
seventh year.
7 And in the thirty and eighth year, this man built another ships.
And
the first ship did also return, and many more people did enter into
it;
and they also took much provisions, and set out again to the land
northward.
8 And it came to pass that they were never heard of more. And we
suppose that they were drowned in the depths of the sea. And it came
to
pass that one other ship also did sail forth; and whither she did go
we
know not.
9 And it came to pass that in this year there were many people who
went
forth into the land northward. And thus ended the thirty and eighth
year.
10 And it came to pass in the thirty and ninth year of the reign of
the
judges, Shiblon died also, and Corianton had gone forth to the land
northward in a ship, to carry forth provisions unto the people who
had
gone forth into that land.
So let's compare this with my decoding of the BoM posted previously.
Zarahemlah was in my view the north coast of the Black Sea, between
the
Don (Sidon) and the Volga, which would become later the Jewish empire
of Khazaria. But here in 55bC, just after the defeat of Pontean
Crimea,
under influence of the Parthians
Northwards we come in Russia and even further Norway and Gothland..
Curious Hagoth sounds like Har or Herr Goth, possibly a Goth, who
lived
around that time in that area and were known for their fleets and
piracy.
The western sea is than the Black Sea and the eastern sea the
Caspian
Sea. Bountiful no doubt was fertile Ukraine, the breadbasket of
Russia.
The land Desolation is a perfect name for the empty Russian steppes.
The narrow neck than becomes the Bosporus.
The woman, children and provisions point more to an immigration than
an
invasion.
The repeated journeys by foot and boat to the land northwards point
to
a destination in Scandinavia, that suitable is called Norway.
The shipping of the provisions of food by ship point to recipient
countries with insecure harvests and a lack of trees and wood.
Historians know about a disputed Gothic migration from the Black Sea
northwards 100bC.
So please note, that the BoM give here an eyewitness report of the,
up till now just assumed northwards migration of the Goths.
However there is no lack of food or wood in Scandinavia, so we have
to
look for another Northern European country without forests and a
reputation of famine and a name related to Goths and than we come to
Ireland, where the Scoti came from.
Strange enough Ireland has a written history of invasions from out of
the Black Sea. The famous Irish book of Leinster, the book of Lecan
and
the book of Ballymote have big parts of the very old chronicle
"Lebor Gabala Erenn", the Book of Invasions. in 1630 all fragments
were
bundled in one book. The Lebor Gabala gives a summary of the history
of
the world from Adam till Christ and continues to relate the different
invasions or migrations, populating Ireland. The first was from
Greece
under Parthalon, whose people died in a plague.
Special Parthalon deserves our attention, because in my decoding, the
BoM is situated around the Black Sea, which was under Parthian rule
around 100bC.
Parthalons men all died in a plaque, what we find in Alma 63:8, where
people worry about a shipwrecking. Historical Parthalon had three
druids with him: Intellect, Knowledge and Inquiry.
Accepting that Parthalon was a Parth, the druids could have been
Parthian magicians, like Hagoth in Alma 63:5, where he is called a
curious man.
So the curious man Hagoth of the BoM could have been the same person
as the Irish druïd inquiry from the Irish Book of Invasions.
Resuming To continue, we have a special case of two independent
books,
written in different times in separate countries, who confirm each
other
In the BoM one curious Hagoth organizes in 100bC out of a Parthian
ruled area around the Black Sea, emigrations by ship to a northern
deforested faminised country and never returns. However another ship
came back and departed again with provisions.
In the Book of Invasions he arrives an Immigrant from Greece, called
Parthalon, with a druïd, who is called Inquiry and died in a plague.
There was another invasion under Nemid from Scythe whose son went
back to Greece and even returned to Ireland with provisions.
A recent article in American Geographic said, that modern historians
have confirmed the Book of Invasions and proved the Nemids to be
Thracians.
Earlier I identified the people of Nephi as well as Thracians.
Lebor Gabala The Book of Invasions
The Book of Invasions form the major part of the Mythological Cycle.
The Book of Invasions was supposed to contain the (fictional) history
of Ireland. The cycle was written in the book titled Leabhar
Gabhála or Lebor Gabala Erren - the "Book of Conquests" or the "Book
of Invasions of Ireland". It was the stories of successive invasions
and settlement of the Celtic people on Ireland. Five or six
different peoples settled on the Isle.
The other main source is from the Cath Maige Tuired (Second
Battle of MagTuired (Moytura)), which was mainly centered on the
Tuatha Dé Danann. The main interests come from the race of Irish
deities known as the Tuatha Dé Danann. They were supplanted by the
Milesians, the last group of invaders, who became the ancestors of
the modern Irish people.
