| On the Word “American” The Islands – The Americas – Armorica, – the possession of the “On the Sea People,” “Sea People,” “The Dwellers on the Sea.” Paper of June 2001, by Michael Busch While recording my research on the word “Yankee” the defining of the word "American" fell in late June of 2001 to “The Special Theory of Ancient History.” Critical in making this discovery is an understanding of the role-played by the Sea People in ancient history. Understanding the role of the Sea People is the main impetus that moves the diffusionist theory to the stoahist theory. The Stoahist theory is the new conceptual model that has allowed me to discover the origins of the word America and most of my other discoveries. Stoahist theory (An evolution of Diffusionism) will allow others, if they choose to use it, to go far beyond the limitations of Diffusionism as it is now practiced. On the Armorican Peninsula of the central West Coast of France between the Seine and Loire rivers, an area now called Brittany, existed the Armoricans of Armorica. The Armorican tribes, known as the Armorican League, spoke Bas Breton; a Celtic language related to the Welsh and Cornish languages of England. Ancient British (Brythonic) was the ancestral language spoken throughout ancient England. (Brythonic being the ancestral language of ancient Cimric – Breton and ancient Gaedhilic – Gaelic.) The Armoricans maintained part, the major part, of the massive Ocean going fleet of 220 ships that met in battle with Julius Caesar’s Roman fleet commanded by Admiral Brutus off the coast of France in 55 BC. Caesar’s book III called De Bello Gallico records this battle and describes the sail powered open ocean Celtic vessels that dwarfed and outnumbered his shore hugging Roman triremes and biremes. The Brythonic speaking peoples controlled the wealth from the Cornish tin mines. The H shaped Cornish tin ingot of England, sold for the production of bronze during the bonze age, is found carved in a grouping of 4 into the Bush Stone, the ancient foundry at Peterborough, Ontario, (Busch, the book “The special Theory of Ancient History.”) The name of these Brythonic Celtic people operating in ancient Armorica and ancient America says it all: the Armorican people of Armorica and America. In the ancient Greek history, the Argonautica, Phineus states; “But if ye shun the clashing rocks and come scatheless inside Pontus, straightway keep the land of the Bithynians * on your right and sail on.” In the Busch translation of the Argonautica Phineus is saying: “when you have come through the clashing icebergs safely keep North America, the land of the Brythonic * (Britains - Brydtrain) Britains on your right.” The Latin word “Britain” comes from the Celt word ‘brith” or “brit” that means painted. (Universal Dictionary of the English Language, 1897) The ancient Britains called themselves Brydtrain. The Brydtrain painted themselves as did the ancient white Beothuk nation of Newfoundland. (For white Beothuk see Ancient American, Vol. 6, issue 39) Ancient archeological sites of the Red Paint People – Brythonians – Bithynians on the eastern coast of North America on and south of the land of the Beothick – Beothuk have been well documented. (Red Paint as in the Celtic word “brit.”) In 55 BC the Armoricans, and even the name of their country, fell to the Roman army and ships of Julius Caesar. The years of warfare that it took Rome to subjugate the Sea People of Europe and North Africa created a hatred of Romans amongst the Armorican refuges, and their holdings, on distant Ocean shores. Though diffusionists have traced records of Roman ships as far as ancient China; this hatred made it impossible for them to participate or even survive in any intercontinental commerce. Between 63 BC and 66 AD the Hebrew, a branch of the Sea People, paid heavy taxes to Rome that allowed them to maintain one of the last intercontinental trades. The Hebrew were acting autonomous but paying taxes to Rome after 63 BC. This put the Hebrew in perfect position in 55 BC, when Julius Caesar overran the Celtic Armorican homeland, to step into the vacuum created in intercontinental trade. This also allowed Rome to indirectly profit from the riches from Armorican holdings in ancient America even after the destruction of the European branch of the Armoricans. Now it is understood were the Hebrew had the wealth, that created the army, that successfully held back the Roman army of General Titus Vespasianus in 68AD until his son of the same name destroyed Jerusalem and sacked their temple in 70 AD. This led to the destruction of the last major Sea People fleet. Three thousand years of intercontinental rule by the Sea People ManGods (A word coined by Stoahist Theory.) would end. In 73 AD when, after 2 years of siege, as the first soldier of the Roman tenth legion stepped through the breached wall of Masada; on that very second a last spark of light went out: what is known to historians as the dark ages descended on humanity. Did the Hebrew at Masada, having a clear understanding of the intercontinental significance of their defeat, choose for this reason to steal from Rome it’s victory by mass suicide? The rule of the ManGods was over. It is interesting that the Hebrew people, originating from a branch off the Sea People from whose blood lines came the Pharos, Manito and other ManGods, would have known that these rulers were just humans as they are. Their religion reflects this. They recognized a profit and a high priest but have no ManGods amongst their own. The forefathers of the Hebrew were early Sea People colonists around the time of the Sea Person Zeus, who led a community in the Great Lakes Basin referred to in Ancient Egypt as the “Long Beards” of Punt. (Busch: the book “The Special Theory of Ancient History.”) It is now also possible to understand how the Hebrew had the wealth and ships to return many of their people to one of their ancestral homes on the Eastern shore of Punt. (See: “Ancient America,” Vol. 4, issue 30.) Through the next 1400 years after the fall of Armorica, names like “The Islands” and “Armorica” for their vast holdings abroad were neither lost nor forgotten. Had they been lost I would not have them to print today! It was a common practice for a person to be named after a place of origin or a place that played a prominent role in a person’s life. Over the milleniums I wonder how many people took their name from Armorica: perhaps hundreds of thousands? Opponents of diffusionism claim that the continent that held the name Armorica for 3000 years took the name "America" from Amerigo Vespucci while at the same time claiming he never made it to North America. I wonder if these people ever stopped to ask themselves why Amerigo was given his name from the sea faring family from which he descended. Given the present level of information printed by diffusionists and stoahists: the test of Ockham’s Razor would say this is not so: the tail does not wag the dog. For thousands of years before Amerigo Vespucci the Americas were called amongst other names “The Islands” and “Armorica.” The German geographer Martin Waldseemuller who would have known how Amerigo Vespucci spelled his name suggested the name for North America be America not Amerigo. Waldseemuller had a different understanding for the spelling of the word that originated the word Amerigo. The most we could say is that both Amerigo Vespucci and North America took their names from Armorica; and that Amerigo played a part in the naming of America. I am pleased to be able to give the world the meaning of the word “American’s,” that defines a people. America comes from an early word for North America named after the , “Armoricans:” Ar Celtic for on, mor Celtic for sea: “On the Sea People:” - “The Dwellers on the Sea” –“Sea People.” Copyright © 2001 by Michael Busch ******************** Permission to publish and resell the above article owned by myself is granted by Michael Busch, free to anyone requesting it, as long as in the publishing and reselling of the article Michael Busch is recognized as the originator, discoverer, or re-discoverer of the main subject material.
