to put down the American Revolution whic
h began in 1776. The Hessians were known to
Roman historians by the tribal name "Ha
tti." Other Germans bore the names "Alemani"
"Suabi," and "Quadi," the
"Casuri." The Romans called them collectively Germani,
meaning "War-men" (from the "Encyclopedi
a Britannica", article, "Germany").
But from where did all these Germanic people come?
Here is the answer of history:
"There can be no doubt that
they Black and Caspian seas,"
states "Smith's Classical Dictionary", ar
ticle, "Germania," p.
361. Ancient historical
records confirm this admission.
The Germans can be traced in historical r
ecords to the regions su
rrounding the Black and
Caspian seas, which border on the ancient Bi
blical Mesopotamia. This is the region
where civilization commenced and from where the patriarchs came!
THE ANSWER FOUND
Ancient German tradition claims that their ol
dest city, Trier, was founded by Trever or
Trebeta, a son of Ninus, king of Assyria.
"The inhabitants of Trier maintain that their c
ity is the oldest in all Europe," writes Josef
K. L. Bihl in his textbook "In deutsche
n Landen", page 69. "Trier was founded," he
continues, "by Trebeta, a son of the famous
Assyrian King Ninus. In fact, one finds ... in
Trier the inscription r
eading, 'Trier existed for 1300 year
s before Rome was rebuilt.' "
Ninus, according to Roman, Greek and Persian records, was the first ruler who began the
systematic conquest of the ancient world af
ter the death of Nimr
od. He established the
Assyrian Empire as the chief power over Ea
stern Europe and Southwest Asia, reported
Diodorus of Sicily in his History.
But how is it possible that the oldest German
city, Trier, founded over 2000 years before
the birth of Christ, should be built by a
son of Ninus, the renowned King of ancient
Assyria? What connection have
the Germans with Assyria?
Jerome, who lived at the time when the Indo-Germanic tribes were invading Europe,
provides this startling answer:
"For 'Assur (the Assyrian) al
so is joined with them' "
(Letter 123, sec. 16, "Nicene and Post-Nicen
e Fathers"; quote is from Psalm 83:8).
DID THE ASSYRIANS INVADE EUROPE?
Yes! Jerome said so! But how did he know?
He saw them! He was an eyewitness to th
eir migrations from Mesopotamia and the
shores of the Black and Caspian seas!
Now consider what Sylax, the author of the
"Periplus," who lived about 550 B.C., writes
of the southern shores of the Black Sea: "The
coast of the Black Sea ... is called Assyria"
(from page 261 of Perrot and Ch
ipiez's "History of Art in Sardinia, Judaea, Syria and
Asia Minor", Vol. II.) From th
ere the Assyrians moved north.
Only 300 years before Jerome, the Roman
naturalist Pliny the Elder declared the
"Assyriani" -- the Assyrians --
were dwelling north of the Bl
ack Sea ("Natural History",
IV, 12, page 183). But the Assyrians did not re
main there. They are not there today. of
course not -- they migrated into Central
Europe -- where the Germans live today!
WHAT DID ASSYRIANS LOOK LIKE?
What did the ancient Assyrian
s look like? Here is the answ
er: "In the Zagros hills and
across the plain to the Tigris,
there lived a ... fair-haired ...
people akin to the Guti (the
Goths) who ... remained in what was afterw
ards Assyria, the ne
ighbour land to Akkad"
(page 5 of "The Sumerians", by C. Leonard Woolley).
When the ancient Greek writers wanted to
distinguish the Assyrians and their Hebrew
captives from the Arameans or Syrians, the
Greeks often called both Assyrians and their
Hebrew captives "Leucosyri" --
meaning "whites" or "blonds"
as distinct from the very
brunette Syrians who still live in Mesopotamia.
WHY GERMANS CALL THEMSELVES "DEUTSCH"
The Germans do not call themselves "German."
They refer to themselves as Deutschen,
and to their country as Deutschland.
When the Assyrians or Germans appeared in
Europe, they claimed Tuitsch as their
ancestor! That is where the name "Deutsch" comes from!
"Tuysco, the most ancient and
peculiar god of all the Germans
... of this Tuisco, the first
and chiefest man of many among the Germans,
and after whom they do call themselves
Tuytshen, that is, duytshes or duytsh people,
I have already spoken." So writes Verstegan
in his 1605 publication entitled
"Restitution of Decayed Intell
igence: in Antiquities".
Whenever a German calls himself Deutsch, he
is therefore saying he
is a descendant of
Tuitsch (Tuisco or Tuisto in
Latin). And when he terms hi
s country Deutschland, he is
saying his land is Tuitsch's land. Who this Tuit
sch is will be made plain in Chapter II.
WHAT LANGUAGE DI
D THEY SPEAK
European scholars have thoroughly studied
the language of the
land of Hatti -- the
ancestors of the Hessians. It is an Indo
-Germanic tongue -- numerous words of which
were akin to Old High German. So many simila
rities were found that Edgar Sturtevant
had to declare: "To me it seems incredible
that so remarkable a situation developed in
two languages independently. I feel compelle
d to trace the Germanic ... to a common
origin" with the language of Hatti -- common
tongue of the Assyrians in Asia Minor
(from "A Comparative Grammar", page 240).
Scholars admit that for centuries the language
of the people who inhabited Assyria was
not merely Semitic. Semitic was the late lite
rary language of Assyria -- the language of
scholars, the language of international comm
erce. Modern historia
ns and archaeologists
assume that the common tongue of all Assyrian people was Semitic. They have no proof.
So noted an Assyriologist as Sydney Smith
admitted "... that the documents from Asia
Minor and from east of Tigris
are couched in Semitic dial
ects spoken by men unable to
pronounce all the Semitic consonants ..." (p. xi,
from "Early History of Assyria to 1000
B.C.").
The same circumstance occurred during the
Middle Ages all over Europe. The language
of almost all European scholars -- and even
their names -- until the time of the Protestant
Reformation was Latin -- but Latin was not the common tongue of the people! Because
most of the literature of
Germany was in Latin during the Middle Ages does not prove
that the common people spoke Latin.
SEMITIC BY RACE,
NOT LANGUAGE
Asshur was a son of Shem. But after the tower
of Babel, when the la
nguages of the world
were confused (Genesis 11), most Assyrian
s no longer spoke a Semitic tongue, but rather
Indo-Germanic and related tongues! The German
s, therefore, are Semitic by race, but not
by language!
In the days of Abraham, the Germans or Assy
rians formed a great c
onfederation of states
or tribes, speaking several di
fferent languages (Josephus' "An
tiquities of the Jews", book
I, ch. 9). One king of the Assyrians -- alre
ady discussed -- was "Tidal, king of nations"
(Genesis 14:1). The name Tidal is Indo-Germanic, not Semitic.
Most scholars have never been conscious of the fact that the use of the Semitic language
in Assyria was due to the rising influence
of the Aramaic people (Genesis 10:22) in
Mesopotamia and certain of the sons of Abra
ham ("Antiquities", book I, ch. XV, sect. 1).
So prominent did they become that Mesopotam
ia is called "Padan-A
ram" -- the plain of
Aram -- in the Bible (Genesis 28:22).
CHAPTER II
THE ANCIENT KINGS OF THE GERMANS
The settlement of the Assyrians and related
peoples in early Europe is summarized by
several writers in the early Middle Ages. The li
st of the early kings pr
esented here is from
the "Bayerische Chronik" and "Deutsche Ch
ronik" by Johannes Turmair, Abensberg,
1526.
The traditional events assigned to each ancient German ruler are confirmed by both
archaeological evidence and the fragmentar
y comments of classical historians.
The "Bayerische Chronik" is very important fo
r the history of Centra
l Europe. It proves
that German history was correctly preser
ved in song and poetry and in contemporary
written records down to Roman times. It furt
her proves that the length of time from the
Flood to Roman times was accurately preserve
d except for an overlooked 24 years. This
period was the 24 years from Abram's year 75
to his year 99. The later chroniclers, who
placed in parallel German and Hebrew hist
ory, universally reckoned the 430 years from
the Covenant that was confirmed with Abra
ham to Sinai as beginning when Abram was
75 years old, instead of 99. They therefore pl
aced the Flood 24 years to
o late in history.
The German chronicles that
were the basis of Turmair's work placed the Flood 131 years
before the coming of the German patriarch Tuisto into Europe. They should have
reckoned 131 plus 24 -- that is, 155 years. With
this one exception, all dates from Tuisto
down to the burning of Rome in 390 B.C. need
no correction. All that is necessary is to
add the separate lengths of reign. Th
ere are no missing lengths of reign.
German history commences with an extensive
settlement of farmers in Europe from the
Don River to the Rhine. The date of this
migration into Europe from Mesopotamia and
the Near East is placed at 2214 B.C. by Germ
an history -- just 155 years after the Flood
and 40 years after the Tower of Babel.
BEGINNING OF GERMAN OR
ASSYRIAN HISTORY
The real beginnings of Assyrian history we
re not presented in Volume I. They are
restored here. One account begins with the
reign of Nimrod in 2194 -- after the 60-year
reign of Cush. Cush was the first Belus -- th
e word means "lord" --
who bore rule after
rule after
the Flood.
Early Rulers of
Assyria and Babylon
Lengths of Reign Dates
Saturn: the Nimrod of
Scripture, known also as
Ninus I.

Belus: great lord of Assyria
-- a title of Shem as lord
over all his family. The title
was later taken by Asshur.
55 2138-2083
Ninus II: conquered the
Middle East in 17 years
(2100-2083), while his

THE EARLY SETTLERS OF EUROPE
The "Bavarian Chronicle" records in detail the
earliest settlers of Eu
rope after the Deluge.
Their encampments and habitations have been
recovered by archaeological research and
are labeled the "Neolithic" migrations that tr
aversed the Danube and adjoining valleys.
Shem or Tuitsch came into Europe with members of his family, as well as with certain of
the sons of Japheth and two of the sons of
Ham who were of the white stock. From these
have descended most of the
present-day nations of Europe
. The descendants of Shem
include many sons of Joktan, son of Heber,
and a number of the sons of Mash, son of
Aram. The Biblical names (Genesis 10) of
the grandsons and great-grandsons of Shem
are clearly preserved in most instances by
the "Chronicle". In the following chart,
together with the names of the patriarchal se
ttlers, appear either the areas settled, the
tribes which sprang from them, or their Biblic
al names. An historical or classical map
should be consulted for location of geographic
names. In later times the descendants of
these early heroes migrated west, south,
north and east under population pressure.

KINGS OF ANCIENT GERMANY
Early Kings of German Lengths of Reign Dates
1. Tuitsch or Tuisto
Chief of thirty-two dukes. Noah gave him all the
land between the Don River and the Rhine or
what was called Grossgermania. This is the
beginning of the "neoli
thic" settlement of
Europe. Tuitsch is, according to all ancient
German commentaries and chronicles, a son of
Noah. But which son? Noah adopted Tuitsch's
children as his own. The ancient Germans
understood the name Tuitsch to be the title
"Teacher." He was theref
ore the great patriarch
of his family who taught the divine will to his
children.
Tuitsch is the father of Mannus (who is the
Assyrian Ninus). The son of Mannus, Trebeta, is
the same man who is called the son of Ninus in
classical writers. The son of Mannus or Ninus --
Trebeta -- built Trier, the first town of Germany.
Since the Bible calls this Ninus (who built
Nineveh), Asshur, Tuitsch is therefore Shem!
Tuitsch (Shem) left Europe for Egypt in 2038.
His appearance in Egyptian chronological
records of Dynasty I
dates his arrival and
government in 2037. From Armenia Tuitsch left
155 years after the Flood
(131 plus 24) -- see the
comments at the beginning
of this chapter. With
him were twenty-two descendants plus eight
from Japheth and two from Ham. Tuitsch made
his headquarters at Deut
z (today Koeln-Deutz).
The country is called Deutschland after him --
that is, the land of the gr
eat Patriarch or Teacher,
Shem. In the 25th year of his reign (2190-2189)
176
(236)
2214-2038
(2214-1978)
Tuitsch held a state assembly, divided lands
among his descendants and ordained laws. He
also brought more colonies from Mesopotamia.
2. Mannus or Mann
For the last 60 years of Tuitsch's or Shem's reign
in Germany, he governed his family from Egypt
and Italy. It was not
until 1978 that Mannus
assumed the government over Western Europe,
succeeding his father Tuitsch. At the beginning
of his reign he sends out
colonies to France and
Asia Minor. His son Herman establishes the
kingdoms of Phrygia, Mysia and Bithynia in
Mannus' 34th year (1945-1944). Another son
Trieber or Trebeta, built Trier. Nerus, another
son, settled in the Netherlands. This Mannus is
the Assyrian Ninus and is Asshur, son of Shem.
Asshur means "strength" in Hebrew and has the
same sense as Mannus -- masculinity -- in
German.
72
(66)
1978-1906
(1978-1912)
3. Eingeb or Ingaevon
This son of Mannus or Ninus -- Asshur -- was
the German Mercury. His wife Freia was the
German Venus. He instituted the observance of
Weinnachten of December 24. Eingeb is
responsible for settling Germans on the North
Sea from Denmark to Dunkirk. He sent his
general Brigus from the
Danube valley to secure
Spain against the African Amazons (female
warriors). Myrein, queen of the African
Amazons advanced up the Danube but was
defeated and slain by Eingeb's generals Seiphyl
and Mopser.
36
(40)
1906-1870
(1912-1872)
4. Ausstaeb or Istaevon
Son of Eingeb, Ausstaeb was the German Mars.
From him are descended the Rheinlanders. In his
days a great drought de
vastated Italy.
50
(52)
1870-1820
(1872-1820)
5. Herman
Son of Ausstaeb. He taught the philosophy that
war and to die in battle is most pleasing to God.
63 1820-1757
He introduced the arts of warmaking to the
Germans. The Druids began to flourish in
Germany. Herman settled the heart of Germany,
whose people were called Hermanduri or
Hermiones after him.
6. Mers
Son of Herman. The city of Merseburg is named
after him. The Dithmarsii descended from him.
Oryz, the Egyptian god-ki
ng Osiris, came with
his wife Eisen up the Danube valley to Mers.
They left Germany and went to Italy on their
way back to Egypt. Cultural development of
Germany through contact with Egypt in days of
Joseph -- beer making, agriculture, forging and
medicine were brought to Germany.
46 1757-1711
7. Gampar
Son of Mers. He was the inventor of beer
brewing. His daughter Araxa became one of the
wives of Libys (the Egyptian and Spanish
Hercules), the son of Oryz, and gave birth to
Tuscus, Schyth, Agatyrsus, Peucinger and
Gutho.
44 1711-1667
8. Schwab
Son of Gampar. He gave his name to Schwaben.
In his reign Eisen came to Germany and taught
the people various crafts.
46 1667-1621
9. Wandler
Son of Schwab. Ancestor of the German
Wenden or Vandals, who were first known at
the Weser, next in the
countries north of the
Elbe; afterwards, a colony
went into Spain, then
into Africa where they restored the Roman
Empire; their kingdom was demolished by
General Belisarius. The cities of Luebeck,
Rostoch, Dantzig, and others are the relics of
those first Vandals who did not migrate to North
Africa. These German Vandals are different
from the Wends called Slavi, Slavonians, Poles,
Bohemians who settled in the ancient lands of
41 1621-1580
the Vandals.
10. Deuto
Son of Wandler, gave his name to the Teutones.
He led a campaign into France and built there
the cities of Vannes, Sens, Santgenge and
Toulouse. He was deified as the German
Mercury, as Eingeb had
previously been.
27 1580-1553
11. Alman (Allmann or Altman)
Son of Deuto, was the German Hercules.
Famous for use of trained lions in war. Bore a
lion in his shield. Bavarians, who descended
from him, still use a lion on their coat of arms.
He had many sons. Norein received Noricum (in
Bavaria today). Norein was the father of part of
the Bavarians. Haun was the father of the
German Huns and lived with his brothers Glan
and Schyter. Helvos was the father of the
Helvetti in Switzerland. Baier ruled Bavaria.
Mied and Math were the ancestors of the
Mediomatrices in Alsace. Theur went to foreign
lands.
64 1553-1489
12. Baier
Son of Alman. He sent a great army of Germans
and Wends from Germany, Denmark and
Gothland to the Balkans. One group, the Goths
under Gebreich and Vilmer, settled on the river
Theissa and lived there as
the Getae till the time
of Valentinian. Another group, including the
German Amazons, proceeded down the Danube
valley to the Black Sea and on through the
Crimea and the Palus Maeotis to Armenia and
Cappadocia and the Taurus mountains. Here
they were known as the Cimmerians. Baier was
also known as Bojus of Bavaria since he was the
ancestor of many Bavari. He built Prague.
60 1489-1429
13. Ingram or Ingramus
Son of Baier. He sent many German colonists to
Asia Minor. Tanhauser, king of the Germans in
Asia Minor, and his priestess Schmirein, led a
52 1429-1377
conquering army through Syria as far as Egypt.
Built Hermenia, afterwards called Reginoberg
(Ratisbon).
14. Adalger or Adelger
Son of Ingram. German Amazons were again
famous in his time under Queens Lautpotis and
Martpeis. They crossed through Asia Minor to
Lycia, but were defeated.
49 1377-1328
15. Larein
Son of Adalger. This is the Laertes of Trojan
fame, mentioned by the Roman historian
Tacitus. During his rule an army set out from
Germany and went via Poland and Ruthenia to
the Danube valley. Here it was joined by
Germans who had come to the area some 150
years earlier, and the combined forces fell into
Asia Minor under their leader Mader and their
queen Aloph. They passed through Phrygia and
settled in Armenia.
51 1328-1277
16. Ylsing or Ulsing
Son of Larein. This is
the Trojan Ulysses of
Tacitus. He is also the Greek Odysseus who
sailed out to the Atlantic and up to the Rhine.
Built Emmerick on the Main. During his reign
the Germans under Galter again invaded Asia
Minor and settled on the banks of the river
Sangarius. Priam of Troy tried in vain to expel
them, finally made a treaty, and they later helped
him against the Greeks.
53 1277-1224
17. Brenner or Breno
Son of Ylsing, in whose reign Prichs ruled the
Germans on the Black Sea and the women under
queen Themyschyr conquered Bithynia,
Paphlagonia and Cappadocia.
38 1224-1186
18. Heccar (Hykar or Highter)
Son of Brenner. He is the famous Hector of the
First Trojan War. He was
of great help to Priam.
eutschram, king of the Germans of
Transylvania and son-in-law of Priam also sent
help.
19. Frank (Francus or Franco)
Son of Heccar. From him descended the German
Franks or Franconians. In his days Amar, queen
of the German Amazons, burned the temple in
Ephesus.

The center of his government was in France.
60 1006-946
23. Walther, Panno and Schard
Another son of Gal, ruled together with Panno
and Schard, the grandsons of Hillyr. From
Walther Italy is called Walhen or Walschland.
Panno gave his name to Pannonia. From Schard
came the Schardinger or Schordisci.
62 946-884
24. Main, Žngel and Treibl
Sons of Walther, ruled jo
intly with Treibl, son of
Panno. From Žngel are descended the Angles

led a German campaign as far as Syria and
Palestine. Of his sons, Balweis received
Lombardy, Sigweis Bavaria, and Brenner
Th ringen and Meissen.
55 644-589
28. Brenner II and Koenman
Brenner was the son of Mader. He was an
"Engl„nder" and king of the Schwaben. His wife
was Th„m„rin (Tomyris), queen of the Getae,
Dacians and Scythians. Brenner sent her troops
to help in the war against Cyrus. He also
defeated Darius who trie
d to invade the lower
Danube region. Together Brenner and Th„m„rin
conquered much of Asia Minor as far as
Armenia. His nephew K”nman, son of Sigweis,
was king of the Bavarians. Brenner expelled
K”nman and 300,000 Bavarians from Bohemia
and resettled that region with Schwaben, who
then became known as Markmannen. Some of
the expelled Bavarians settl
ed in Bavaria proper,
but by far the largest nu
mber of them crossed
the Alps into Italy, from
where they drove out
some of the Etruscans. After the death of
K”nman, the Bavarians of Italy were ruled by
the kings Zeck, Ber (who built Bern or Verona)
and Breitmar.
110 589-479
29. Landein with his sons Ant„r and R”g„r 80 479-399
30. Brenner III
Son of Breitmar, was king over both Schwaben
and Bavarians, and reigned over Germany and
Italy. Under his leadership the Schwaben and
Bavarians sacked Rome. He had sons H”rkaz,
Matsch”r, Guotfrid and Schirm. His daughter
Gueta was married to Philip of Macedon.
Burning of Rome (July 390) occurred in his 9th
38 399-361
year.
31. Schirm
Son of Brenner III. He and his son Brenner IV
ruled until 60 years after death of Alexander --
although Brenner IV dies earlier. Brenner led a
massive German invasion into Greece,
plundered Macedonia and th

33. Dieth I
Son of Thessel, ruled jointly with his son
Diethmer. Diethmer invaded Palestine on behalf
of Antiochus IV, took many Jews captive and
settled them in Germa
ny near Regensburg. Soon
afterwards Hannibal att
acked Italy and many of
the Bavarians from Nort
hern Italy joined him
against Rome. After Hannibal's defeat there
followed a war between the Romans and
Bavarians in northern
Italy which lasted 12
years. Finally, weary of
fighting, the Bavarians
left Italy, where they had dwelt for almost 400
years, and settled in Pannonia. Dieth was also
driven from Italy, whereupon Diethmer, in
retaliation, persuaded Philip V of Macedon to
renew his hostilities with Rome. Entz and Olor,
German kings in Istria and Transylvania, aided
Philip, but Rome won. In Asia Minor Rome
launched an attack against the German kings
Orthjag, Gompelmer, G„udhor, Orgsgund and
Eposgnad. These retreated eastward over the
Halys, where they were defeated, sued for peace,
and swore never to raid
foreign nations again.

times of Ernst and Pernpeist they left their
homes, sailed down the Danube and settled near
