QUEEN SCOTA
Scotia's Grave or Scota's grave is an area just south of Tralee in County Kerry beside the Finglas rivulet in an area known as Trughanacmy. It marks what is reputed to be the grave of Scota, a daughter of an Egyptian pharaoh (known as Friel) and a Scythian princess. Scota is frequently translated "Scythian woman." The traditional name of the location is Glenn Scoithin, "vale of the little flower."
According to several references in medieval Irish mythology Queen Scota, wife of King Milesius and mother of six sons, was killed in battle with the legendary Tuatha Dé Danann on the nearby Slieve Mish mountain. Scota had come to Ireland in 1,700 B.C., to avenge the death of her husband, the King who had been wounded in a previous ambush in south Kerry. She was an accomplished horsewoman, but, while pregnant, attempted to jump a bank that would not normally have presented a problem. However, the extra mass of her pregnancy caused her to fall and die.
In Geoffrey Keating’s “Foras Feasa ar Éirinn”, Ireland's “ninth appellation it received likewise from the sons of Milesius, who named it Scotia, from their mother’s name, Scota, who was the daughter of Pharaoh Nectanebo I, king of Egypt; or perhaps from themselves, they being originally of the Scythian race.”
According to the Middle Irish language synthetic history Lebor Gabála Érenn she was the daughter of Pharaoh Necho II of Egypt.
Other sources say that Scota was the daughter of Pharaoh Neferhotep I of Egypt and his wife Senebsen, and was the wife of Míl, that is Milesius, and the mother of Éber Donn and Érimón. Míl had given Neferhotep military aid against ancient Ethiopia and was given Scota in marriage as a reward for his services. Writing in 1571, Edmund Campion named the pharaoh Amenophis; Keating named him Cincris. According to Bower's manuscript, Scota's father is actually named as being Achencres, a Greek version of an Egyptian name. In the work of Manetho, an Egyptian priest who wrote in Greek, the pharaoh Achencres works out to be none other than Akhenaten.
Edward J. Cowan has traced the first appearance of Scota in literature to the 12th century. Scota appears in the Irish Book of Leinster (containing a redaction of the Lebor Gabála Érenn). However a recension found in a 11th century manuscript of the Historia Brittonum contains an earlier reference to Scota. The 12th century sources state that Scota was the daughter of an Egyptian pharoah, a contemporary of Moses, who married Geytholos (Goídel Glas) and became the eponymous founders of the Scots and Gaels after being exiled from Egypt. The earliest Scottish sources claim Geytholos was “a certain king of the countries of Greece, Neolus, or Heolaus, by name,” while the Lebor Gabála Érenn Leinster redaction in contrast describes him as a Scythian. Other manuscripts of the Lebor Gabála Érenn contain a variant legend of Scota’s husband, not as Goídel Glas but instead Míl Espaine and connect him to ancient Iberia. Although these legends vary, they all agree that Scota was an Egyptian princess and the eponymous founder of the Scots and that she also gave her name to Scotland.
Andrew of Wyntoun’s “Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland” and John of Fordun’s “Chronica Gentis Scotorum” (1385) are considered major sources on the Scota legends, alongside Thomas Grey’s “Scalacronica” (1362). Walter Bower's 15th century “Scotichronicon” included the first pictures of the legends. Hector Boece in his 16th century “Historia Gentis Scotorum” (“History of the Scottish People”) also mentions Scota and the foundation myth.
Dr. Seán O’Riordan, an archaeologist from Trinity College, Dublin, made an important discovery at an excavation of the “Mound of Hostages” at Tara in 1955. Tara, in what is now County Meath, was the ancient seat of the Ard Righ or High King of Ireland (Gaelic: Ard Rí na hÉireann). What Dr. O’Riordan discovered at Tara was the remains of a Bronze Age skeleton from what is thought to be a young Prince. The skeleton has been carbon dated to around 1350 B.C. The “Prince” was wearing a blue faience bead necklace, of a kind not known in Ireland - but common in ancient Egypt. Faience is made from plant extracts mixed with minerals into a paste that is shaped and then fired in an oven. Later in 1956, L. C. Thomas and J. F. Stone reported that in their opinion the faience beads were Egyptian after all - and when compared with Egyptian faience beads, they were found to be identical in manufacture and design.

Clann na Gael
The Descendants of Gael and Scota
SCOTA
Irish history records the story about Scota, the daughter of Pharaoh of Egypt who arrived in the southern part of Ireland between 4,000 and 3,500 years ago. She took on the trade route, sailing in search of the new world. She travelled to Spain from the Delta, by means of an Egyptian ship. She settled in the country of Kerry (south-western part of Ireland) and married Milesius and gave him eight sons.
Milesius, an invader from Spain, came to Ireland to conquest the ancient tribes and to take the kingdoms from Tuatha-De-Danaans. MacCuill, Mac Ceacht and Mac Greine fought in a long bloody battle about three miles from Tralee. Not only did the Danaan princes die in the battle of Tralee but also Scota the warrior Queen of the invaders was also killed. It seems that her sons Heremon and Heber were the only surviors of Milesius ruling family and that they divided the country between them. One took the north and the other the south. Then they inevitably quarrelled and Heber was slain.
Scota is buried on the sloped mountains in view of Tralee Bay at a place called Glenscoheen (Scota's Glenn). Irish archaeologists have not yet carried out any investigation on the site, which consists of woodland and natural rocks. The Ordnance Survey of Ireland has shown the actual location of the burial of Scota.
Gaels were descended from a princess named Scota. Her husband was Niul, the Governor of Capacyront, by birth, a Black Sea prince of Scythia. Her name “Scota”, which was Scythian for “ruler of the people” was gained by the princess when she married Niul.
Scota was the daughter of Egyptian Pharaoh Smenkhkare. Smenkhkare was known by several other names and spellings of his own name. These include Smenkhkara, Smenkhkaron, Achencheres (in Manetho’s Egyptian King List), Cencheres (the version used by the Christian church-father Eusebius), and Cinciris (from early Gaelic history). The phonetic version of one name listed above, that of Smenkhkaron, provides the name by which history knows him best, that of Aaron – described in the Bible as Moses’s brother. In actuality, Aaron was Moses’s first cousin and a feeding-brother of Moses. (Aaron’s mother Tey was the woman who nursed Moses when he was born). Aaron, or Smenkhkare, was pharaoh for a short interim period when Akhenaten was forced to abdicate when he tried to impose only one god (named Aten) on the Egyptians. Akhenaten (meaning Glorious Spirit of Aten) was originally born named Amenhotep (meaning Amen is pleased). He ruled as Amenhotep IV until he changed his name and tried to get the Egyptians to worship the one god Aten, instead of the chief god among many – named Amen. Akhenaten is best known in history by his Hebrew name used in the Bible – that of Moses.
Back to Scotland - According to the 17th century History of Ireland, Niul and Aaron entered into an alliance of friendship with one another. The Gaelic text further states that Gaedheal (Gael), the son of Niul and Princess Scota, was born in Egypt, at the time when Moses began to act as leader of the children of Israel. These leaders, from which the Gaelic people descended, were themselves descended from historic people. The Scythians, before the migration of Niul and Scota to Ireland and Scotland, were descended from the Biblical Ham and Japhet. Ham, was known as Thoth, (the supposed author of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, containing the original version of the Ten Commandments) to the Egyptians and Japhet was known as Iapetus II to the Greeks. The Declaration of Arbroath in 1320, announced to the world the heritage of Scotland from Scythia. (Gardner)
The Gaels are named after their common ancestor, Gael [also known as Gaedheal, Goadhal, Goidel, Goidel Glas, Gathelus or Gaythelos], who was born in Egypt around the time of the Biblical Moses. Gael was the son of Prince Niul, who was a son of King Fenius the Antiquary [Feaniosa Fearsuidhe] of Scythia, and of Princess "Scota", a daughter of Egyptian Pharaoh "Cincris" or "Achencres".
Scythia was the name given by much later Greek writers to the area north of the Black Sea between the Carpathian Mountains and the Don River, in what is now Moldova, the Ukraine and eastern Russia. Scythians kept large herds of horses, cattle, and sheep, and were famed for their horsemanship and skill as archers. The Scythians had developed a rich and sophisticated civilization by 4000 BC, as evidenced by bronze and gold objects of mesmerizing technical and artistic skill, found in the recently excavated, opulent tombs of their kings and nobles:
The most detailed accounts of King Fenius of Scythia, his son Niul and his grandson Gael come from the "Foras Feasa Ar Éirinn", known in English as the History of Ireland, written by the Gaelic scholar Seatrún Céitinn, D.D. sometime prior to 1640 AD:
When Fenius became King of Scythia, he was determined to become acquainted with the various languages that had sprung up after the confusion of tongues that, according to Biblical tradition, had taken place long before at the Tower of Babel in Sumeria. He sent seventy-two of his court scholars to the various countries on the three continents of the world that were known to be inhabited, and charged them to remain abroad for seven years, so that each of them might learn the language of the country in which he stayed. At the end of seven years, they returned to Scythia and to King Fenius, who then established a school for the teaching of languages.
Upon hearing of this school, King Ninus of Sumeria [ancient Babylonia] summoned Fenius and his scholars to the capitol city of Ninevah. Fenius obeyed the summons of King Ninus, his overlord, and journeyed to Ninevah, together with his scholars and a large number of the youth of Scythia, leaving his eldest son Neanuall to rule Scythia in his absence. At the command of King Ninus, Fenius established schools for the teaching of the various languages at a city called Eathena on the Plain of Seanair near Ninevah. The three senior sages who presided over these schools were Fenius from Scythia, Gaedheal from Greece, and Iar from Judea.
It was about this time that Niul, a son of Fenius, was born at Eathena. Feinius remained in charge of the schools at Eathena for many years in order that this son Niul might become a scholar of languages. Then, after twenty years at Eathena, Fenius returned to Scythia, re-established the schools there and appointed his friend and associate Gaedheal to take charge of them. King Fenius also commissioned Gaedheal to formalize and record the language of the Scythians. It is after Gaedheal that the Scythian language was named "Gaeilge" [also known as Gaelic].
The origins of the name Gaedheal [also spelled as "Gael"] have been disputed among scholars for hundreds of years. Becanus said that it derived from the words "goedin", meaning "noble", and "uile", meaning "all", that is "all noble", or from the Hebrew word "gadhal", meaning "great", because Gaedheal was great in learning, wisdom and languages. However, Gaelic tradition holds that "Gaedheal" derives from the two words "gaoith", meaning "wise", and "dhil", meaning "loving", that is "lover of wisdom".
Fenius ruled Scythia for twenty-two years after his return from the Plain of Seanair. At the point of death, he bequeathed the sovereignty of Scythia to his eldest son Neanull, and left to his younger son Niul only what profit he could derive from the schools for sciences and languages.
Prince Niul ran his schools in Scythia for a long time, during which his fame for knowledge and wisdom spread throughout the nations of the world. Because of Niul's great renown as a scholar and teacher, Pharaoh "Cincris" of Egypt sent envoys to him, inviting him to Egypt to teach the sciences and languages to the youth of Egypt. Niul accepted the invitation and sailed to Egypt with Pharaoh's envoys.
The name "Cincris" does not appear in any of the known king lists of Egypt. "Cincris" could have been the name of one of the rulers of a Nile Delta nome [province] or the name of one of the Hyksos pharaohs [who the Egyptians called "hequa khasut" or "rulers from foreign lands"], for which written records are scarce. One of the known Hyksos pharaohs of the 15th Dynasty, which is believed to have ruled from the city of Avaris in the Nile Delta from around 1663 BC to 1555 BC, was named Khyan ("Xian" in Greek), who was also called "Great Hyksos". It is possible that "Cincris" is a variant of "Cian Groi" [Khyan the Great] or "Cian nGriosach" [Khyan of the Hot Ashes]. Pharaoh Khyan was likely ruler of Lower Egypt when the Minoan Empire and much of the eastern Mediterranean basin were destroyed by the cataclysmic volcanic eruption of the Minoan island of Thera in 1628 BC. It is also possible that "Cincris" was not a person's name, but rather an archaic translation of the Greco-Egyptian word "pharaoh", which literally meant "great house". Another possibility is that the pharaoh being referred to was "Achencres", the Greek spelling for Pharaoh Akhenaten.
Pharaoh "Cincris" gave the land called Campus Circit [also known as Capacyront] beside the Red Sea to Prince Niul. Pharaoh also gave his daughter "Scota" in marriage to Niul. The name "Scota" is not an Egyptian name, but a very much later Latin name meaning "mother of the Scotii", because the inhabitants of Ireland were called "Scotii" by the Romans. After Niul married "Princess Scota", he established schools at Campus Circit for teaching science and various languages. It was there that "Scota" gave birth to a son, whom Niul named Gael [also spelled "Gaedheal"] , after his old friend and teacher.
Sometime after the birth of Gael, Moses and the children of Israel escaped from Pharaoh's bondage, marched to the shore of the Red Sea and made camp near Campus Circit. When Niul heard of this, he went to meet with them and to find out who they were. At the outpost of their encampment, he met Aaron, the brother of Moses, who related to him the story of the children of Israel, and of Moses, and of the miracles that God had wrought against Pharaoh. Niul and Aaron entered into an alliance and friendship with one another, and Niul offered him whatever corn and means he had to assist them. Then Niul went back to his own people, and told them that the children of Israel were nearby, and about all that had befallen them.
That same night, as Gael was swimming, a venomous serpent bit him on the neck. Some say that it was from the desert that the serpent came, and that it bit Gael while he slept. In either case, he was soon at the point of death. Niul took the dying Gael to Moses. Moses prayed to God, and applied the rod given to Moses by God upon the wound, and thus healed Gael. Moses then said that, in whatever place that the issue of Gael would settle, no serpent would ever have venom. According to Gaelic tradition, Gael was thereafter called Gaedheal Glas because of the green scar that remained on his neck. Others state that Moses had placed around the neck of Gael a locket with the green bracelet that Moses had worn on his own arm, and that it was from this bracelet that he was thereafter called Gaedheal Glas. At that time, each chieftain wore such a bracelet on his arm as a mark of his tribal supremacy. Still others assert that he was called Gaedheal Glas after the grey-blue colour of his weapons and armour.
Later, Niul told Moses that Pharaoh "Cincris" was very angry with him for having welcomed the children of Israel and for having offered them assistance. Niul feared the wrath of Pharaoh. Moses offered to take Niul and his people along with the children of Israel to the land promised to Moses by God, and to provide for them a share of that land, or to help Niul seize Pharaoh's fleet so that Niul and his people could flee Egypt by sea. Niul accepted the latter offer, and a thousand armed men were sent with him to seize Pharaoh's ships. Niul and his people embarked upon them and beheld the events of the following day, namely the parting of the Red Sea before Moses and the children of Israel, and then its closing back upon Pharaoh and his army of sixty thousand foot soldiers and fifty thousand horse soldiers, drowning them all. Niul, having witnessed the death of Pharaoh and his host, returned to Campus Circit, since he no longer feared Pharaoh's retribution.
Some time afterwards, Niul died, and Gael and his mother took possession of the lands at Campus Circit. Later, a son was born to Gael, whom he named Easru, and some time after that, a son was born to Easru, whom he named Sru, and they remained on their lands at Campus Circit. As for the Egyptians, Pharaoh "Intuir" had assumed sovereignty over Egypt after the drowning of Pharaoh "Cincris". When Pharaoh Intuir and the Egyptians had restored their army and strength, they rekindled their enmity against the descendants of Niul. They made war upon them, and drove them from Egypt.
Thomas Walsingham agreed with this account in "Upodigma", where he said: "When the Egyptians had been drowned, the portion of the inhabitants who lived after them expelled a certain Scythian nobleman who dwelt amongst them, lest he might assume sovereignty over them."
The descendants of Gael and "Scota" fled Egypt, and embarked upon a long oddessy that, over the succeeding generations, would take them from Egypt, first to Candia [ancient Crete], then back to their ancestral homeland of Scythia, then to sail the Caspian Sea for several years, then to Getulia [ancient Libya], then to Galicia [northwestern Spain], then back to Scythia, then back to Egypt again where another "Scota", a daughter of Pharaoh "Nectanebus", would marry the Gael's leader Míl [Milesius], then to the islands of Irena and Gothia, then back to Galicia, and finally on to the conquest of Ireland, the promised land of the Gaels, under the leadership of the sons of Míl and their mother, the second "Scota".
There is recent speculation that the first "Scota" may have been the daughter of the "heretic" Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti.
According to Lorraine Evans, in her book "Kingdom of the Ark", Princess Merytaten, a daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, may have taken Gael as her husband after the death of Pharaoh Smenkhkare. This Scota and her husband were reported to have fled Egypt and eventually to have sailed to Britain, where the wrecks of two Egyptian ships, discovered near Hull in 1937 AD, have been radio-carbon-dated to the period 1400 BC to 1350 BC.
According to the "Scotichronicon", written around 1435 AD by Walter Bower, the Abbot of Inchcolm Abbey in Scotland: "In ancient times, Scota, the daughter of pharaoh, left Egypt with her husband Gaythelos by name and a large following. For they had heard of the disasters which were going to come upon Egypt, and so through the instructions of the gods they fled from certain plagues that were to come. They took to the sea, entrusting themselves to the guidance of the gods"… "After sailing for many days over the sea with troubled minds, they were finally glad to put their boats in at a certain shore because of bad weather." Bower went on the relate that the "certain shore" was in the north of Britain, and that Scota and Gaythelos and their followers eventually settled in what is now Scotland for a while, until being forced to flee to Ireland. The original source for Bower's account of Scota and Gaythelos may have been the "World Chronicle" compiled by the Roman writer Eusebius of Caesarea around 320 AD, based upon the earlier "History of Egypt" compiled by the Greek writer Euhemerus around 300 BC.
Elven Faerie Druid Star Seeds Dark Age Witchcraft Burning Times
The magickal mystical metaphysical realm of knowledge and lore remains either wholly underground and shroud in concealed mystery or else left to the contemporary public “New Age” movement to become the “straw man” fallacy to those who have failed to understand the true legacy that is deeply embedded within. . . This current excerpt is from the “Book of Elven-Faerie” (2006, Joshua Free), which Mardukite Chamberlains currently recognize as the revised volume: Druids of the Necronomicon – Secrets of Elves, Dragon Kings & Scions of the Anunnaki by Joshua Free available from the Mardukite Truth Seeker Press in both paperback and limited hardcover
editions.
Druids of the Necronomicon - Secrets of the Elven-Faerie, Dragon Kings & Scions of the Anunnaki by Joshua Free
Throughout the Dark Ages, the persecution of magick drove its beliefs, practices and practitioners out of public sight. The remaining magickal blood and lineage was then split in two. One group went into the deep woods where these Nature-oriented shamanic-like people could maintain the ‘folk-witch’ traditions in secret. On the other hand magick was also carried by an elitist group that maintains a better known chain of secret societies that coexist with mortal society and play an important role, while at the same time existing almost independently and ‘above’ that same society. I am referring to that Elven-Ffayrie branch of Illuminoids and Masons.
The ‘secret society’ (Elven Council) of the Dark Ages did not exist with the same societal role as in the Age of Faerie, nor do people see it as very significant today. The lineage has also fallen along the way and continues to be removed from the original Elven-Ffayrie race. It has endured its own evolution and so its members remain today, reconstructionists. ‘Distant descendants’ with ‘mystical inclinations’ who were not actively a part of the ‘pureblood lineages’ that ruled these secret societies for thousands of years, have and continue to be granted membership ‘on-commitment.’ This occurs (or has occurred in the past) when an organization’s membership is on the decline. Just as the Danubian Drwyds broadened their restrictions when they were in danger of losing their tradition and culture, the Freemasons do so today.
Between the Ancient Drwyds and the neo-Druids, there stands a long lineage of Masonic organizations, each claiming to have a secret knowledge about our history, as well as practical metaphysical lore. Nearly all secret, mystical and magickal cabals and sects have at one time been incorporated into this story and have common ground. We can assume from the Elven Histories that after its ‘star origins,’ the magickal tradition mainly emerged from the Mediterranean/Mesopotamian region forming a delta of Sumerian, Greek and Egyptian traditions sharing the name, “Hermetics.” This original ‘Hermetic Tradition,’ is what modern occultists can trace their varying ‘secret traditions’ back to, making it an archetype for all magickal systems. As a result of the knowledge migrating across Europe, different factions began to emerge in different times and under different regional nationalities.
The Dagon of the Nile region (Africa) is one such tribe that came from Sumeria around the time the Tuatha D’Anu were leaving to move across Aeurope to the West, among others. The great cataclysm that must have dispatched so many people in so many different directions has only been speculated as the ‘Black Sea Flood’ or ‘Fall of Atlantis.’ These Dagons possessed ‘star knowledge’ from the Sirius system and another Nile tribe, the Nubians, had an obscure knowledge (reminiscent of the Sumerian Ubaid) that was set down in the Book of Khemet, more commonly known as the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Those familiar with my prior work, Merlyn’s Magick should notice the connection here concerning Egypt. The knowledge of the tribes is believed to not have originated with the Egyptians and Sumerians themselves, but to have been taught be an inter-stellar ‘star-race.’ In writing these words I am reminded of the work of Zecharia Sitchen, who I have not personally referenced but who, I am told, has produced thousands of pages of good research material that would support the Elven Histories.
The elitest practitioners of Modern Hermetics trace some of their lore and tradition to the Gnostics. Gnosticism was the highest religion of the Hermetic-Delta until the arrival of the Roman Empire. After this, the tradition is developed in Western Aeurope where it is maintained by the Celtic Druids of the La Tene culture until it is finally pushed to the very shores of the ocean and its islands as well as the Northern-Hyperborean reaches of the European mainland. Finally it is forced underground, but it is certainly not obliterated. The tradition is split in two between the secret mystics in the woods and the paladin-rangers who rise up against the Crusades, naming themselves the ‘Cathar’ and ‘Knights Templar’ (Mergovian Knights of the Temple) who were pledged to uphold the legacy and culture of the ‘True Church,’ which had descended from Hermetic-Gnosticism and was no longer being upheld in Rome.
In the late 1500s, a member of the mystic tradition who was in service as Wizard to Queen Elizabeth I, discovered, was taught, or carried an obscure branch of Ancient Hermetic Tradition. John Dee was able to access the Otherworld with the aid of a young alchemist/seer named Edward Kelley. The system of magick they channeled changed the nature of the philosophical Gnostic form of Hermetics into an elitist ceremonial ‘Enochian Tradition,’ clearly related to Enoch. It is very similar in nature to the ceremonialism of the Sumerian/Babylonian styled magick that is recorded on tablets or demonstrated in Simon’s Necronomicon. While I make a comprehensive investigation of these connected but separate systems in Merlyn’s Magick, several fundamental ideas seem to overlap specifically in the Elven Histories. I do suggest that Renaissance and Medieval sorcery should only be studied, rarely, if ever, used.
Donald Tyson, a modern Wizard and author adept in the history and use of Enochian practices, has suggested that the Enochian system might hold the ‘key to the apocalypse,’ in his book Tetragrammaton. Both the Gnostic-Enochian system and the Hebrew-Sumerian mythos suggest that there is a gate or seal protecting this world from a malignant force kept “outside” (or if it is not evil, of a chaotic nature that would be disruptive to the existence of the world as we know it.) Gerald and Betty Schueler, in their Advanced Guide to Enochian Magick have suggested that the Enochian system was indeed the magick of the Necronomicon. In the case of the Necronomicon itself, it is written that the book is to be left to the Wizards of Men and Elves as a means to keep the energy current of the ‘Ancient Ones’ out of our time-space and sealed behind the ‘Gate of the Elder Gods.’ Such would make this the magick of Enki, creator of the Human Hybrids, and that would make the magick of the Enochian Tradition kept secret by the Hebrew Kabbalists, descended from the Enoch-Cano line. Enoch is reported in the Holy Bible as being the offspring of Cain. No matter what way you look at it, the Enochian and Cthonic systems seem inappropriate for use (but not necessarily study) by Humans or even naïve Elves.
The knight-ranger lineage became the Illuminoids who inspired the Masonic Traditions today. The other arm, the Mystics, became the Rosicrucians, ‘Mystics of the Rose-Cross.’ Illuminoid Masons and Rosicrucians who were more interested in the magickal aspects of the Hermetic tradition formed the “Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn,” or “GD.” This was an elitist and secret organization up until the publication of a version (or interpretation) of the system by Aleister Crowley. This was later clarified and republished in the authentic Golden Dawn format by Israel Regardie. Crowley was a ‘protestant’ and left with the teachings of the Golden Dawn to form his own Masonic organization, “OTO,” the “Ordo Templi Orientis.”
The neo-Druids (and neo-Masons for that matter) emerged into the public eye in the year 1717 in England. In terms of a true lineage traced on paper, this is where most of the modern traditions and organizations can truly be traced. Only after the end of the Dark Ages do both the ‘Ancient Order of Druids’ and the ‘Ancient Order of Freemasonry’ publicly emerges in England. From there they spread across the word in some revival form. Many scholars viewed (and continue to view) these reconstructionists as completely without grounds and call(ed) them frauds. This continued through much of the 1900s as well, and although allegedly having past through an era of “Enlightenment,” Humans have still been subjected to the same ignorance. Both the Renaissance era and the modern “New Age” saw a revival in the examination of old ideas forgotten and repressed.

Clann na Gael
The Descendants of Gael and Scota
SCOTA
Irish history records the story about Scota, the daughter of Pharaoh of Egypt who arrived in the southern part of Ireland between 4,000 and 3,500 years ago. She took on the trade route, sailing in search of the new world. She travelled to Spain from the Delta, by means of an Egyptian ship. She settled in the country of Kerry (south-western part of Ireland) and married Milesius and gave him eight sons.
Milesius, an invader from Spain, came to Ireland to conquest the ancient tribes and to take the kingdoms from Tuatha-De-Danaans. MacCuill, Mac Ceacht and Mac Greine fought in a long bloody battle about three miles from Tralee. Not only did the Danaan princes die in the battle of Tralee but also Scota the warrior Queen of the invaders was also killed. It seems that her sons Heremon and Heber were the only surviors of Milesius ruling family and that they divided the country between them. One took the north and the other the south. Then they inevitably quarrelled and Heber was slain.
Scota is buried on the sloped mountains in view of Tralee Bay at a place called Glenscoheen (Scota's Glenn). Irish archaeologists have not yet carried out any investigation on the site, which consists of woodland and natural rocks. The Ordnance Survey of Ireland has shown the actual location of the burial of Scota.
Gaels were descended from a princess named Scota. Her husband was Niul, the Governor of Capacyront, by birth, a Black Sea prince of Scythia. Her name “Scota”, which was Scythian for “ruler of the people” was gained by the princess when she married Niul.
Scota was the daughter of Egyptian Pharaoh Smenkhkare. Smenkhkare was known by several other names and spellings of his own name. These include Smenkhkara, Smenkhkaron, Achencheres (in Manetho’s Egyptian King List), Cencheres (the version used by the Christian church-father Eusebius), and Cinciris (from early Gaelic history). The phonetic version of one name listed above, that of Smenkhkaron, provides the name by which history knows him best, that of Aaron – described in the Bible as Moses’s brother. In actuality, Aaron was Moses’s first cousin and a feeding-brother of Moses. (Aaron’s mother Tey was the woman who nursed Moses when he was born). Aaron, or Smenkhkare, was pharaoh for a short interim period when Akhenaten was forced to abdicate when he tried to impose only one god (named Aten) on the Egyptians. Akhenaten (meaning Glorious Spirit of Aten) was originally born named Amenhotep (meaning Amen is pleased). He ruled as Amenhotep IV until he changed his name and tried to get the Egyptians to worship the one god Aten, instead of the chief god among many – named Amen. Akhenaten is best known in history by his Hebrew name used in the Bible – that of Moses.
Back to Scotland - According to the 17th century History of Ireland, Niul and Aaron entered into an alliance of friendship with one another. The Gaelic text further states that Gaedheal (Gael), the son of Niul and Princess Scota, was born in Egypt, at the time when Moses began to act as leader of the children of Israel. These leaders, from which the Gaelic people descended, were themselves descended from historic people. The Scythians, before the migration of Niul and Scota to Ireland and Scotland, were descended from the Biblical Ham and Japhet. Ham, was known as Thoth, (the supposed author of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, containing the original version of the Ten Commandments) to the Egyptians and Japhet was known as Iapetus II to the Greeks. The Declaration of Arbroath in 1320, announced to the world the heritage of Scotland from Scythia. (Gardner)
The Gaels are named after their common ancestor, Gael [also known as Gaedheal, Goadhal, Goidel, Goidel Glas, Gathelus or Gaythelos], who was born in Egypt around the time of the Biblical Moses. Gael was the son of Prince Niul, who was a son of King Fenius the Antiquary [Feaniosa Fearsuidhe] of Scythia, and of Princess "Scota", a daughter of Egyptian Pharaoh "Cincris" or "Achencres".
Scythia was the name given by much later Greek writers to the area north of the Black Sea between the Carpathian Mountains and the Don River, in what is now Moldova, the Ukraine and eastern Russia. Scythians kept large herds of horses, cattle, and sheep, and were famed for their horsemanship and skill as archers. The Scythians had developed a rich and sophisticated civilization by 4000 BC, as evidenced by bronze and gold objects of mesmerizing technical and artistic skill, found in the recently excavated, opulent tombs of their kings and nobles:
The most detailed accounts of King Fenius of Scythia, his son Niul and his grandson Gael come from the "Foras Feasa Ar Éirinn", known in English as the History of Ireland, written by the Gaelic scholar Seatrún Céitinn, D.D. sometime prior to 1640 AD:
When Fenius became King of Scythia, he was determined to become acquainted with the various languages that had sprung up after the confusion of tongues that, according to Biblical tradition, had taken place long before at the Tower of Babel in Sumeria. He sent seventy-two of his court scholars to the various countries on the three continents of the world that were known to be inhabited, and charged them to remain abroad for seven years, so that each of them might learn the language of the country in which he stayed. At the end of seven years, they returned to Scythia and to King Fenius, who then established a school for the teaching of languages.
Upon hearing of this school, King Ninus of Sumeria [ancient Babylonia] summoned Fenius and his scholars to the capitol city of Ninevah. Fenius obeyed the summons of King Ninus, his overlord, and journeyed to Ninevah, together with his scholars and a large number of the youth of Scythia, leaving his eldest son Neanuall to rule Scythia in his absence. At the command of King Ninus, Fenius established schools for the teaching of the various languages at a city called Eathena on the Plain of Seanair near Ninevah. The three senior sages who presided over these schools were Fenius from Scythia, Gaedheal from Greece, and Iar from Judea.
It was about this time that Niul, a son of Fenius, was born at Eathena. Feinius remained in charge of the schools at Eathena for many years in order that this son Niul might become a scholar of languages. Then, after twenty years at Eathena, Fenius returned to Scythia, re-established the schools there and appointed his friend and associate Gaedheal to take charge of them. King Fenius also commissioned Gaedheal to formalize and record the language of the Scythians. It is after Gaedheal that the Scythian language was named "Gaeilge" [also known as Gaelic].
The origins of the name Gaedheal [also spelled as "Gael"] have been disputed among scholars for hundreds of years. Becanus said that it derived from the words "goedin", meaning "noble", and "uile", meaning "all", that is "all noble", or from the Hebrew word "gadhal", meaning "great", because Gaedheal was great in learning, wisdom and languages. However, Gaelic tradition holds that "Gaedheal" derives from the two words "gaoith", meaning "wise", and "dhil", meaning "loving", that is "lover of wisdom".
Fenius ruled Scythia for twenty-two years after his return from the Plain of Seanair. At the point of death, he bequeathed the sovereignty of Scythia to his eldest son Neanull, and left to his younger son Niul only what profit he could derive from the schools for sciences and languages.
Prince Niul ran his schools in Scythia for a long time, during which his fame for knowledge and wisdom spread throughout the nations of the world. Because of Niul's great renown as a scholar and teacher, Pharaoh "Cincris" of Egypt sent envoys to him, inviting him to Egypt to teach the sciences and languages to the youth of Egypt. Niul accepted the invitation and sailed to Egypt with Pharaoh's envoys.
The name "Cincris" does not appear in any of the known king lists of Egypt. "Cincris" could have been the name of one of the rulers of a Nile Delta nome [province] or the name of one of the Hyksos pharaohs [who the Egyptians called "hequa khasut" or "rulers from foreign lands"], for which written records are scarce. One of the known Hyksos pharaohs of the 15th Dynasty, which is believed to have ruled from the city of Avaris in the Nile Delta from around 1663 BC to 1555 BC, was named Khyan ("Xian" in Greek), who was also called "Great Hyksos". It is possible that "Cincris" is a variant of "Cian Groi" [Khyan the Great] or "Cian nGriosach" [Khyan of the Hot Ashes]. Pharaoh Khyan was likely ruler of Lower Egypt when the Minoan Empire and much of the eastern Mediterranean basin were destroyed by the cataclysmic volcanic eruption of the Minoan island of Thera in 1628 BC. It is also possible that "Cincris" was not a person's name, but rather an archaic translation of the Greco-Egyptian word "pharaoh", which literally meant "great house". Another possibility is that the pharaoh being referred to was "Achencres", the Greek spelling for Pharaoh Akhenaten.
Pharaoh "Cincris" gave the land called Campus Circit [also known as Capacyront] beside the Red Sea to Prince Niul. Pharaoh also gave his daughter "Scota" in marriage to Niul. The name "Scota" is not an Egyptian name, but a very much later Latin name meaning "mother of the Scotii", because the inhabitants of Ireland were called "Scotii" by the Romans. After Niul married "Princess Scota", he established schools at Campus Circit for teaching science and various languages. It was there that "Scota" gave birth to a son, whom Niul named Gael [also spelled "Gaedheal"] , after his old friend and teacher.
Sometime after the birth of Gael, Moses and the children of Israel escaped from Pharaoh's bondage, marched to the shore of the Red Sea and made camp near Campus Circit. When Niul heard of this, he went to meet with them and to find out who they were. At the outpost of their encampment, he met Aaron, the brother of Moses, who related to him the story of the children of Israel, and of Moses, and of the miracles that God had wrought against Pharaoh. Niul and Aaron entered into an alliance and friendship with one another, and Niul offered him whatever corn and means he had to assist them. Then Niul went back to his own people, and told them that the children of Israel were nearby, and about all that had befallen them.
That same night, as Gael was swimming, a venomous serpent bit him on the neck. Some say that it was from the desert that the serpent came, and that it bit Gael while he slept. In either case, he was soon at the point of death. Niul took the dying Gael to Moses. Moses prayed to God, and applied the rod given to Moses by God upon the wound, and thus healed Gael. Moses then said that, in whatever place that the issue of Gael would settle, no serpent would ever have venom. According to Gaelic tradition, Gael was thereafter called Gaedheal Glas because of the green scar that remained on his neck. Others state that Moses had placed around the neck of Gael a locket with the green bracelet that Moses had worn on his own arm, and that it was from this bracelet that he was thereafter called Gaedheal Glas. At that time, each chieftain wore such a bracelet on his arm as a mark of his tribal supremacy. Still others assert that he was called Gaedheal Glas after the grey-blue colour of his weapons and armour.
Later, Niul told Moses that Pharaoh "Cincris" was very angry with him for having welcomed the children of Israel and for having offered them assistance. Niul feared the wrath of Pharaoh. Moses offered to take Niul and his people along with the children of Israel to the land promised to Moses by God, and to provide for them a share of that land, or to help Niul seize Pharaoh's fleet so that Niul and his people could flee Egypt by sea. Niul accepted the latter offer, and a thousand armed men were sent with him to seize Pharaoh's ships. Niul and his people embarked upon them and beheld the events of the following day, namely the parting of the Red Sea before Moses and the children of Israel, and then its closing back upon Pharaoh and his army of sixty thousand foot soldiers and fifty thousand horse soldiers, drowning them all. Niul, having witnessed the death of Pharaoh and his host, returned to Campus Circit, since he no longer feared Pharaoh's retribution.
Some time afterwards, Niul died, and Gael and his mother took possession of the lands at Campus Circit. Later, a son was born to Gael, whom he named Easru, and some time after that, a son was born to Easru, whom he named Sru, and they remained on their lands at Campus Circit. As for the Egyptians, Pharaoh "Intuir" had assumed sovereignty over Egypt after the drowning of Pharaoh "Cincris". When Pharaoh Intuir and the Egyptians had restored their army and strength, they rekindled their enmity against the descendants of Niul. They made war upon them, and drove them from Egypt.
Thomas Walsingham agreed with this account in "Upodigma", where he said: "When the Egyptians had been drowned, the portion of the inhabitants who lived after them expelled a certain Scythian nobleman who dwelt amongst them, lest he might assume sovereignty over them."
The descendants of Gael and "Scota" fled Egypt, and embarked upon a long oddessy that, over the succeeding generations, would take them from Egypt, first to Candia [ancient Crete], then back to their ancestral homeland of Scythia, then to sail the Caspian Sea for several years, then to Getulia [ancient Libya], then to Galicia [northwestern Spain], then back to Scythia, then back to Egypt again where another "Scota", a daughter of Pharaoh "Nectanebus", would marry the Gael's leader Míl [Milesius], then to the islands of Irena and Gothia, then back to Galicia, and finally on to the conquest of Ireland, the promised land of the Gaels, under the leadership of the sons of Míl and their mother, the second "Scota".
There is recent speculation that the first "Scota" may have been the daughter of the "heretic" Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti.
According to Lorraine Evans, in her book "Kingdom of the Ark", Princess Merytaten, a daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, may have taken Gael as her husband after the death of Pharaoh Smenkhkare. This Scota and her husband were reported to have fled Egypt and eventually to have sailed to Britain, where the wrecks of two Egyptian ships, discovered near Hull in 1937 AD, have been radio-carbon-dated to the period 1400 BC to 1350 BC.
According to the "Scotichronicon", written around 1435 AD by Walter Bower, the Abbot of Inchcolm Abbey in Scotland: "In ancient times, Scota, the daughter of pharaoh, left Egypt with her husband Gaythelos by name and a large following. For they had heard of the disasters which were going to come upon Egypt, and so through the instructions of the gods they fled from certain plagues that were to come. They took to the sea, entrusting themselves to the guidance of the gods"… "After sailing for many days over the sea with troubled minds, they were finally glad to put their boats in at a certain shore because of bad weather." Bower went on the relate that the "certain shore" was in the north of Britain, and that Scota and Gaythelos and their followers eventually settled in what is now Scotland for a while, until being forced to flee to Ireland. The original source for Bower's account of Scota and Gaythelos may have been the "World Chronicle" compiled by the Roman writer Eusebius of Caesarea around 320 AD, based upon the earlier "History of Egypt" compiled by the Greek writer Euhemerus around 300 BC.
Elven Faerie Druid Star Seeds Dark Age Witchcraft Burning Times
The magickal mystical metaphysical realm of knowledge and lore remains either wholly underground and shroud in concealed mystery or else left to the contemporary public “New Age” movement to become the “straw man” fallacy to those who have failed to understand the true legacy that is deeply embedded within. . . This current excerpt is from the “Book of Elven-Faerie” (2006, Joshua Free), which Mardukite Chamberlains currently recognize as the revised volume: Druids of the Necronomicon – Secrets of Elves, Dragon Kings & Scions of the Anunnaki by Joshua Free available from the Mardukite Truth Seeker Press in both paperback and limited hardcover
editions.
Druids of the Necronomicon - Secrets of the Elven-Faerie, Dragon Kings & Scions of the Anunnaki by Joshua Free
Throughout the Dark Ages, the persecution of magick drove its beliefs, practices and practitioners out of public sight. The remaining magickal blood and lineage was then split in two. One group went into the deep woods where these Nature-oriented shamanic-like people could maintain the ‘folk-witch’ traditions in secret. On the other hand magick was also carried by an elitist group that maintains a better known chain of secret societies that coexist with mortal society and play an important role, while at the same time existing almost independently and ‘above’ that same society. I am referring to that Elven-Ffayrie branch of Illuminoids and Masons.
The ‘secret society’ (Elven Council) of the Dark Ages did not exist with the same societal role as in the Age of Faerie, nor do people see it as very significant today. The lineage has also fallen along the way and continues to be removed from the original Elven-Ffayrie race. It has endured its own evolution and so its members remain today, reconstructionists. ‘Distant descendants’ with ‘mystical inclinations’ who were not actively a part of the ‘pureblood lineages’ that ruled these secret societies for thousands of years, have and continue to be granted membership ‘on-commitment.’ This occurs (or has occurred in the past) when an organization’s membership is on the decline. Just as the Danubian Drwyds broadened their restrictions when they were in danger of losing their tradition and culture, the Freemasons do so today.
Between the Ancient Drwyds and the neo-Druids, there stands a long lineage of Masonic organizations, each claiming to have a secret knowledge about our history, as well as practical metaphysical lore. Nearly all secret, mystical and magickal cabals and sects have at one time been incorporated into this story and have common ground. We can assume from the Elven Histories that after its ‘star origins,’ the magickal tradition mainly emerged from the Mediterranean/Mesopotamian region forming a delta of Sumerian, Greek and Egyptian traditions sharing the name, “Hermetics.” This original ‘Hermetic Tradition,’ is what modern occultists can trace their varying ‘secret traditions’ back to, making it an archetype for all magickal systems. As a result of the knowledge migrating across Europe, different factions began to emerge in different times and under different regional nationalities.
The Dagon of the Nile region (Africa) is one such tribe that came from Sumeria around the time the Tuatha D’Anu were leaving to move across Aeurope to the West, among others. The great cataclysm that must have dispatched so many people in so many different directions has only been speculated as the ‘Black Sea Flood’ or ‘Fall of Atlantis.’ These Dagons possessed ‘star knowledge’ from the Sirius system and another Nile tribe, the Nubians, had an obscure knowledge (reminiscent of the Sumerian Ubaid) that was set down in the Book of Khemet, more commonly known as the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Those familiar with my prior work, Merlyn’s Magick should notice the connection here concerning Egypt. The knowledge of the tribes is believed to not have originated with the Egyptians and Sumerians themselves, but to have been taught be an inter-stellar ‘star-race.’ In writing these words I am reminded of the work of Zecharia Sitchen, who I have not personally referenced but who, I am told, has produced thousands of pages of good research material that would support the Elven Histories.
The elitest practitioners of Modern Hermetics trace some of their lore and tradition to the Gnostics. Gnosticism was the highest religion of the Hermetic-Delta until the arrival of the Roman Empire. After this, the tradition is developed in Western Aeurope where it is maintained by the Celtic Druids of the La Tene culture until it is finally pushed to the very shores of the ocean and its islands as well as the Northern-Hyperborean reaches of the European mainland. Finally it is forced underground, but it is certainly not obliterated. The tradition is split in two between the secret mystics in the woods and the paladin-rangers who rise up against the Crusades, naming themselves the ‘Cathar’ and ‘Knights Templar’ (Mergovian Knights of the Temple) who were pledged to uphold the legacy and culture of the ‘True Church,’ which had descended from Hermetic-Gnosticism and was no longer being upheld in Rome.
In the late 1500s, a member of the mystic tradition who was in service as Wizard to Queen Elizabeth I, discovered, was taught, or carried an obscure branch of Ancient Hermetic Tradition. John Dee was able to access the Otherworld with the aid of a young alchemist/seer named Edward Kelley. The system of magick they channeled changed the nature of the philosophical Gnostic form of Hermetics into an elitist ceremonial ‘Enochian Tradition,’ clearly related to Enoch. It is very similar in nature to the ceremonialism of the Sumerian/Babylonian styled magick that is recorded on tablets or demonstrated in Simon’s Necronomicon. While I make a comprehensive investigation of these connected but separate systems in Merlyn’s Magick, several fundamental ideas seem to overlap specifically in the Elven Histories. I do suggest that Renaissance and Medieval sorcery should only be studied, rarely, if ever, used.
Donald Tyson, a modern Wizard and author adept in the history and use of Enochian practices, has suggested that the Enochian system might hold the ‘key to the apocalypse,’ in his book Tetragrammaton. Both the Gnostic-Enochian system and the Hebrew-Sumerian mythos suggest that there is a gate or seal protecting this world from a malignant force kept “outside” (or if it is not evil, of a chaotic nature that would be disruptive to the existence of the world as we know it.) Gerald and Betty Schueler, in their Advanced Guide to Enochian Magick have suggested that the Enochian system was indeed the magick of the Necronomicon. In the case of the Necronomicon itself, it is written that the book is to be left to the Wizards of Men and Elves as a means to keep the energy current of the ‘Ancient Ones’ out of our time-space and sealed behind the ‘Gate of the Elder Gods.’ Such would make this the magick of Enki, creator of the Human Hybrids, and that would make the magick of the Enochian Tradition kept secret by the Hebrew Kabbalists, descended from the Enoch-Cano line. Enoch is reported in the Holy Bible as being the offspring of Cain. No matter what way you look at it, the Enochian and Cthonic systems seem inappropriate for use (but not necessarily study) by Humans or even naïve Elves.
The knight-ranger lineage became the Illuminoids who inspired the Masonic Traditions today. The other arm, the Mystics, became the Rosicrucians, ‘Mystics of the Rose-Cross.’ Illuminoid Masons and Rosicrucians who were more interested in the magickal aspects of the Hermetic tradition formed the “Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn,” or “GD.” This was an elitist and secret organization up until the publication of a version (or interpretation) of the system by Aleister Crowley. This was later clarified and republished in the authentic Golden Dawn format by Israel Regardie. Crowley was a ‘protestant’ and left with the teachings of the Golden Dawn to form his own Masonic organization, “OTO,” the “Ordo Templi Orientis.”
The neo-Druids (and neo-Masons for that matter) emerged into the public eye in the year 1717 in England. In terms of a true lineage traced on paper, this is where most of the modern traditions and organizations can truly be traced. Only after the end of the Dark Ages do both the ‘Ancient Order of Druids’ and the ‘Ancient Order of Freemasonry’ publicly emerges in England. From there they spread across the word in some revival form. Many scholars viewed (and continue to view) these reconstructionists as completely without grounds and call(ed) them frauds. This continued through much of the 1900s as well, and although allegedly having past through an era of “Enlightenment,” Humans have still been subjected to the same ignorance. Both the Renaissance era and the modern “New Age” saw a revival in the examination of old ideas forgotten and repressed.
The solitary folk and family traditions did not have the same ties to the more organized revivals throughout the Dark Ages and after. In addition, it has only been for the last hundred years that the folk-hereditary magickal practitioners have had access to neo-Druidry, and the GD Ceremonialism of Medieval and Renaissance sorcery. This fueled the emergence of “Wicca” in the modern “New Age.” For the first time in over a thousand years, a mystical Nature-oriented religion could exist in the public eye. This new Keltoi-Norse eclectic Faerie Tradition was published openly and maintains organizations with open membership and access to all information and lore. It is particularly useful for those who do not already have some kind of access to the magickal tradition by blood lineage and heredity for themselves (independent of an instructor.) This could be interpreted as somewhat dangerous.
In 1955, archaeologist Dr. Sean O’Riordan of Trinity College, Dublin,
made an interesting discovery during an excavation of the Mound of
Hostages at Tara, site of ancient kingship of Ireland. Bronze Age
skeletal remains were found of what has been argued to be a young
prince, still wearing a rare necklace of faience beads, made from a
paste of minerals and plant extracts that had been fired.
The skeleton was carbon dated to around 1350 BC. In 1956, J. F. Stone and L. C. Thomas reported that the faience beads were Egyptian: “In fact, when they were compared with Egyptian faience beads, they were found to be not only of identical manufacture but also of matching design.
The famous boy-king Tutankhamun was entombed around the same time as the Tara skeleton and the priceless golden collar around his mummy’s neck was inlaid with matching conical, blue-green faience beads”. An almost identical necklace was found in a Bronze Age burial mound at north Molton, Devon.
Myths of the dragon Princess Scota relate her to the royal Irish and Scottish lines. She is claimed by the Dragon Lineage. According to Bower’s manuscript, Scota’s descendants were the high kings of Ireland. ‘Scota' is not an Egyptian name, but Bower’s manuscript says Scota’s father is actually named Achencres, a Greek version of an Egyptian name. In the work of Manetho, an Egyptian priest, Evans discovers the translation of the name—the pharaoh Achencres was none other than Akhenaten, who reigned in the correct timeframe of 1350 BC.
Evans believes that Scota was Meritaten, eldest daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. The third eldest daughter, Ankhesenpaaten, married her half-brother, King Tutankhamun, son of Akhenaten and his secondary wife, Kiya. The controversial religious shift to the god Aten caused conflict with the Amun priesthood, who reasserted their authority after Akhenaten’s reign ended and he disappeared from history. This conflict and the rumored deaths by plague would have been sufficient motivation for the pharaoh’s eldest daughter to accept a foreign prince in marriage, rather than being Tut’s wife as would have been normal protocol, and to flee from the conflicted country.
The Story of Princess Scota, By Heather Elizabeth Adams
In 1955, archaeologist Dr. Sean O’Riordan of Trinity College, Dublin, made an interesting discovery during an excavation of the Mound of Hostages at Tara, site of ancient kingship of Ireland. Bronze Age skeletal remains were found of what has been argued to be a young prince, still wearing a rare necklace of faience beads, made from a paste of minerals and plant extracts that had been fired.

An almost identical necklace was found in a Bronze Age burial mound at north Molton, Devon.
In Kingdom of the Ark, Lorraine Evans reveals plausible archaeological connections and evidence between Egypt and Ireland. In 1937 in North Ferriby, Yorkshire, the remains of an ancient boat were discovered. Excavation produced what was thought a Viking longship yet more boats were much older than Viking ships and were of a type found in the Mediterranean. They originated 2000 years before the Viking age and were radiocarbon dated to around 1400 to 1350 BC. Evans argues these boats could originate from Egypt, based on dating of the faience beads. While investigating the origins of the people of Scotland in the Bower manuscript, the Scotichronicon, she discovers the story of Scota, the Egyptian princess and daughter of a pharaoh who fled from Egypt with her husband Gaythelos with a large following of people who arrive in a fleet of ships. They settled in Scotland for a while amongst the natives, until they were forced to leave and landed in Ireland, where they formed the Scotti, and their kings became the high kings of Ireland. In later centuries, they returned to Scotland, defeating the Picts, and giving Scotland its name.
What happens to Scota and her people? Irish myth claims the Tuatha de Danaan, the magical children of the Goddess Danu "originally established the site of Tara, in the Boyne river valley, as the ritual inauguration and burial place of the ancient kings of Ireland. They were generally regarded as the gods and goddesses of the "Celtic" tribes, but it is believed that their true origins date far back into prehistory”. Could the de Danaan even perhaps have been the descendants of the lost land of Atlantis, migrants to Ireland after its final destruction, between 7-10,000 years ago?
Further compounding the mystery, Michael Tsarion offers the revisionist view that Scota was returning to the Western land of Egyptian origins. Was the Irish/Egyptian connection a two-way street? Civilization may have spread into Europe from the West as well as the East. The religion of the Druids parallels the ancient Egyptians. Their name is linked to the word 'door' or portal and 'bringer of truth."
"The Caucasian features described by Sir Elliot Smith are to be seen on the face of Queen Nefertiti, her sister Mutnodjmet (wife of Pharaoh Heremheb), and her daughter Meritaten (Scota). Indeed, there is little doubt in our minds that Nefertiti and her family were of Irish ancestry. This explains why Scota, her eldest daughter, traveled to Ireland by way of Spain after the fall of Akhenaton's corrupt dynasty and why her grave was found, not in Egypt, but in Ireland's County Kerry." ("Irish Origins of Civilzation")
In the Annals of the Four Masters, dating to 1632-36, Scota’s husband is named Eremon, and it is Eremon and Eber who divide the land of Ireland between them, with Eremon in the north and Eber in the south. Egypt was divided into Upper and Lower Egypt, unified by a central connecting city, Memphis. If we consider the existing myths of Ireland’s legends, it, too, was divided to have a central site of unity, known as Mide, the omphalos of Ireland. Within Mide is where the Hill of Tara is situated, as a site of the High Kingship, representing the unity of the land and all of its people.
Sadly, it is in the battle for Ireland at Slieve Mish, as recorded in the Lebor Gabala, that Scota meets a tragic end and is killed. After her death in this battle, the war continued on at Tailtinn against the three kings of the Tuatha de Danaan, the husbands of the Goddesses Banba, Fodla, and Eriu: MacCuill, MacCeacht, and MacGreine. The sons of Mil, after prolonged battle, conquered the de Danaans and took the seat of Tara. According to the Bower manuscript, Scota was buried “between Sliab Mis and the sea,” and her grave, Fert Scota, is found in a glen located in Glenscota. The exact location of Scota’s resting place remains a mystery, much like the particulars of her past. She lent her persona and identity to the landscape of the land she became a part of, giving Scotland her name.

IRISH ORIGINS OF CIVILIZATION: http://www.irishoriginsofcivilization.com/irishoriginsexcerpts/book1_chap1.html
The skeleton was carbon dated to around 1350 BC. In 1956, J. F. Stone and L. C. Thomas reported that the faience beads were Egyptian: “In fact, when they were compared with Egyptian faience beads, they were found to be not only of identical manufacture but also of matching design.
The famous boy-king Tutankhamun was entombed around the same time as the Tara skeleton and the priceless golden collar around his mummy’s neck was inlaid with matching conical, blue-green faience beads”. An almost identical necklace was found in a Bronze Age burial mound at north Molton, Devon.
Myths of the dragon Princess Scota relate her to the royal Irish and Scottish lines. She is claimed by the Dragon Lineage. According to Bower’s manuscript, Scota’s descendants were the high kings of Ireland. ‘Scota' is not an Egyptian name, but Bower’s manuscript says Scota’s father is actually named Achencres, a Greek version of an Egyptian name. In the work of Manetho, an Egyptian priest, Evans discovers the translation of the name—the pharaoh Achencres was none other than Akhenaten, who reigned in the correct timeframe of 1350 BC.
Evans believes that Scota was Meritaten, eldest daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. The third eldest daughter, Ankhesenpaaten, married her half-brother, King Tutankhamun, son of Akhenaten and his secondary wife, Kiya. The controversial religious shift to the god Aten caused conflict with the Amun priesthood, who reasserted their authority after Akhenaten’s reign ended and he disappeared from history. This conflict and the rumored deaths by plague would have been sufficient motivation for the pharaoh’s eldest daughter to accept a foreign prince in marriage, rather than being Tut’s wife as would have been normal protocol, and to flee from the conflicted country.
The Story of Princess Scota, By Heather Elizabeth Adams
In 1955, archaeologist Dr. Sean O’Riordan of Trinity College, Dublin, made an interesting discovery during an excavation of the Mound of Hostages at Tara, site of ancient kingship of Ireland. Bronze Age skeletal remains were found of what has been argued to be a young prince, still wearing a rare necklace of faience beads, made from a paste of minerals and plant extracts that had been fired.
The skeleton was carbon dated to around 1350 BC. In 1956, J. F. Stone and L. C. Thomas reported that the faience beads were Egyptian: “In fact, when they were compared with Egyptian faience beads, they were found to be not only of identical manufacture but also of matching design. The famous boy-king Tutankhamun was entombed around the same time as the Tara skeleton and the priceless golden collar around his mummy’s neck was inlaid with matching conical, blue-green faience beads”. An almost identical necklace was found in a Bronze Age burial mound at north Molton, Devon.
In Kingdom of the Ark, Lorraine Evans reveals plausible archaeological connections and evidence between Egypt and Ireland. In 1937 in North Ferriby, Yorkshire, the remains of an ancient boat were discovered. Excavation produced what was thought a Viking longship yet more boats were much older than Viking ships and were of a type found in the Mediterranean. They originated 2000 years before the Viking age and were radiocarbon dated to around 1400 to 1350 BC. Evans argues these boats could originate from Egypt, based on dating of the faience beads. While investigating the origins of the people of Scotland in the Bower manuscript, the Scotichronicon, she discovers the story of Scota, the Egyptian princess and daughter of a pharaoh who fled from Egypt with her husband Gaythelos with a large following of people who arrive in a fleet of ships. They settled in Scotland for a while amongst the natives, until they were forced to leave and landed in Ireland, where they formed the Scotti, and their kings became the high kings of Ireland. In later centuries, they returned to Scotland, defeating the Picts, and giving Scotland its name.
What happens to Scota and her people? Irish myth claims the Tuatha de Danaan, the magical children of the Goddess Danu "originally established the site of Tara, in the Boyne river valley, as the ritual inauguration and burial place of the ancient kings of Ireland. They were generally regarded as the gods and goddesses of the "Celtic" tribes, but it is believed that their true origins date far back into prehistory”. Could the de Danaan even perhaps have been the descendants of the lost land of Atlantis, migrants to Ireland after its final destruction, between 7-10,000 years ago?
Further compounding the mystery, Michael Tsarion offers the revisionist view that Scota was returning to the Western land of Egyptian origins. Was the Irish/Egyptian connection a two-way street? Civilization may have spread into Europe from the West as well as the East. The religion of the Druids parallels the ancient Egyptians. Their name is linked to the word 'door' or portal and 'bringer of truth."
"The Caucasian features described by Sir Elliot Smith are to be seen on the face of Queen Nefertiti, her sister Mutnodjmet (wife of Pharaoh Heremheb), and her daughter Meritaten (Scota). Indeed, there is little doubt in our minds that Nefertiti and her family were of Irish ancestry. This explains why Scota, her eldest daughter, traveled to Ireland by way of Spain after the fall of Akhenaton's corrupt dynasty and why her grave was found, not in Egypt, but in Ireland's County Kerry." ("Irish Origins of Civilzation")
In the Annals of the Four Masters, dating to 1632-36, Scota’s husband is named Eremon, and it is Eremon and Eber who divide the land of Ireland between them, with Eremon in the north and Eber in the south. Egypt was divided into Upper and Lower Egypt, unified by a central connecting city, Memphis. If we consider the existing myths of Ireland’s legends, it, too, was divided to have a central site of unity, known as Mide, the omphalos of Ireland. Within Mide is where the Hill of Tara is situated, as a site of the High Kingship, representing the unity of the land and all of its people.
Sadly, it is in the battle for Ireland at Slieve Mish, as recorded in the Lebor Gabala, that Scota meets a tragic end and is killed. After her death in this battle, the war continued on at Tailtinn against the three kings of the Tuatha de Danaan, the husbands of the Goddesses Banba, Fodla, and Eriu: MacCuill, MacCeacht, and MacGreine. The sons of Mil, after prolonged battle, conquered the de Danaans and took the seat of Tara. According to the Bower manuscript, Scota was buried “between Sliab Mis and the sea,” and her grave, Fert Scota, is found in a glen located in Glenscota. The exact location of Scota’s resting place remains a mystery, much like the particulars of her past. She lent her persona and identity to the landscape of the land she became a part of, giving Scotland her name.
