comyns beaumont paints a picture of a history of cataclysms with changing sea levels & lots of migrations... waves of migrations.... where migrating ppls often used original names from ireland / britain for names of new colonies... as in York & New York... which - if true - could lead to many interpretative errors if not factored in properly.... perhaps aryans from britain & ireland migrated east because of one or more catastrophes & named Ur after the original one in ireland?? presumably this is what Anna Wilkes is saying in her book "Ireland, Ur of the Chaldees".... & L A Waddell definitely claims Sumer is Britain / Ireland... unfortunately i've yet to read either of these authors....
I waited a day to reply because I was angry, and I get too rough when I am, and I do not wish to attack anyone or any suggestion - all are either valid, could be potentially valid, or can lead to helping us with our research by closing down invalid rabbit holes. All good.
Look up L.A. Waddell. He is one of many who "translated" many ancient languages. None of them successfully I am afraid.
His "translations" came from his work on a tablet from Susa, an Iranian (Elamite) city, and dating from the early 2nd millennium - in other words, not from Iraq, not written in Sumerian after all, and written about 1000 years after the Sumerian civilization was over. That's why he received no academic interest - he was just wrong. He may have known something about Burma and Tibet, but even that is doubtful.
Beaumont wrote for the Daily Mail.
In a series of books published between 1946 and 1949, British journalist William Comyns Beaumont astonished the world with the following extraordinary revelations: Jesus of Nazareth had been crucified just outside Edinburgh, Scotland — the site of the ancient city of Jerusalem. Satan was a comet that collided with the earth and caused Noah's Flood. The ancient Egyptians were in fact Irishmen. Hell is to be found in western Scotland. The Greek hero Achilles spent his childhood on the Isle of Skye. Galilee, birthplace of Jesus, was Wales. Ancient Athens was in reality Bath, England ... Comyns Beaumont started his radical revision of history with the belief, innocuous enough, that the lost island of Atlantis might be Britain.
Just read the above paragraph once or twice, roll it around using common sense, and see if any of it seems to be at all likely. Jesus crucified in Scotland? Satan was a flood-causing comet - well, that might be partially true since a comet might have caused the flood that covered Doggerland for good and changed the waterfront in the Persian Gulf and made the Black Sea into a sea from a lake.
Hell is not found in western Scotland, its part of New York City.
Irish Egyptians or Egyptian Irishmen?
Jesus born in Wales.
This is the stuff of childrens ten cent novels of his day, not serious research nor fit to publish outside of an elementary school library.
Both of these, and many more, are examples of wishful thinking. Those ignorant of history, who hoped that some claim to fame could be attributed to their ancestors, who were, in the main, barefoot peasants, courtesy of the near slavery conditions imposed upon them by the invading French Viking Normans who brought the Pope with them.
Both Beaumont, who could not stand the idea of a "brown" Jesus, and Waddell, who believed firmly that the Aryan race had invented all alphabets, are, wouldn't you agree, the fathers of "Racist" ideas at the core?
Insist on giving Arthur his due respect, no matter what the government tells you. Insist that his deeds be acclaimed. Publish the great works and deeds of hundreds of true, honest and intelligent Britains who fought to preserve Celtic Christianity against the influx of Rome, and of the many native heroes who defended the lands against invaders, including Queen Bodica, who defended Britain against the Roman invaders, and the Angles from the lands to the north of Denmark who came over to fight the Picts at the request of Rome but ended up staying to become some of the early rulers of Wales, and who gave Britain so much in those early days.
There are true heroes to be found. We just need the courage to refuse to fall for some fake heritage by claiming the deeds in the Levant as our own. We had our own greatness, and still do.
