Romanian Author Claims Romania Is the Purest Racial and Linguistic Outpost of Atlantis

12/2/2015

46 Comments

 
Yesterday I discussed a weird local Romanian fringe claim about Black Knights and the Force of Neutrality that seems to have originated with Romanian politician Codrin Ştefănescu, who attributes it to a medieval text that no one has yet proved exists. This got me curious about some of the finer points of the fringe claim, and in turn this led me to a self-published book by a Romanian author writing under the name Raven Alb. J. The book is called Why and How the Ice Age Ended & the True History of the Pontic (White) Race (2012). The title pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the weird racism underscoring the text, but it’s particularly interesting in the way that more mainstream American fringe theories have been overhauled to help place the Romanian people at the center of world history. 
Our author took inspiration from William Ryan and Walter Pitman, who claimed that the Black Sea flooded catastrophically at the end of the Ice Age. To this claim, our author adds the pole-shift theory favored by such fringe writers as Immanuel Velikovsky and Charles Hapgood and adds to it Ignatius Donnelly’s racist view of Atlantis as a paradise for white people before Noah’s Flood. Our author, though, does the American authors one better by relocating Atlantis to glorify Romania, arguing that Atlantis was itself the continent of Europe and that its capital was located in the Black Sea, off the Romanian coast. Therefore, when the Black Sea flooded, the only true people of Atlantis—the whitest of the white folk—left in their original homeland were the people of Romania, the inheritor of ancient glory and the true indigenous Europeans.
 
But wait: There’s more! While “academics” might argue that the Romanian language is a Romance tongue derived from Vulgar Latin with contributions from Slavic languages and Greek, our author knows better: It’s the best surviving version of the prehistoric language of the purest Aryan stock!
The cradle of the white race was located in that bowl called Pontus (the Black Sea of today) and a great civilization existed before the Great Flood. Their language reached its highest peak before the flood and after that it degraded into the languages of today. Greek and Latin reached high points, but never got close to the height of the Atlantis people’s language. Romanian is closer than any other to the original language, because those people never left the land. I prove in this book that Latin descended from Romanian and not the other way around. Romanian is a highly deteriorated form of the original Pontic language (I call the White Race “Pontic” and their language as well), but one can still connect the words way back; I even managed to reach the very first words. Only with the Romanian language is that possible, and if I hadn’t known the language to the extent that I do, this book would never have been written.
The author goes on to explain that the Romanian language is true tongue of God and that the “Semitic” languages (Hebrew, Arabic, etc.) were invented in the early Middle Ages, by a mongrel race that usurped the place of the true Jews, who were, of course, “part of the Pontic race” and therefore very white.
 
Only in Romania would such a claim even have a shadow of respectability. It’s a close cousin of the theory on the other side of the Black Sea, in Georgia, that Georgian is the first and greatest language and the origin of Greek, etc. Anyone outside the culture can easily recognize such claims as nationalist pseudo-history, designed to reverse the tides of history and elevate a relatively powerless country above the titans of Western civilization in terms of age, honor, and prestige. In the case of Romania, this claim transparently appropriates American fringe ideas in service of Romanian greatness, alongside a clear effort to give a spurious antiquity to Romanian civilization by creating a fictitious origin myth that prioritizes the colonized (Romania) over the colonizers. Rome ruled Dacia, the core of modern Romania, from 106 CE down to 275, and intermittently until the mid-300s, and the second Rome, the Byzantine Empire, was a predominant influence in the Middle Ages. It’s strange that a brief occupation held such an outside influence, but the subsequent history of the region was one of repeated immigration, migration, colonization, and conquest, which left Romanian identity centered on the Romanian language, though the exact reasons for and methods of the language’s medieval survival are unknown. The language itself isn’t attested before 1521 in written documents, which actually led to an early attempt to suggest that it wasn’t a direct Latin derivative but had emerged from medieval Italian.
 
All of this nationalistic pseudo-history seems ridiculous, and certainly this self-published book isn’t going to replace traditional history any time soon. But it is merely the most extreme version of a nationalistic drive to rewrite history in the name of glorifying the homeland. Here in the United States, we see this in the decisions of various governmental bodies to approve or reject high school textbooks based on how much they celebrate specific political positions and cultural myths. Texas is particularly notorious in that regard, but many states have routinely whitewashed slavery and the Civil War, for example, while fetishizing the Founding Fathers as omniscient demigods. Meanwhile, this week in South Korea teachers protested after the conservative government ordered all schools to use new, government-approved textbooks that critics say minimize negative aspects of South Korean history. Even the government admits the new books were purposely designed to inject conservative opinions (particularly about the greatness of the current president’s father, the former president who rose to power in a coup) into historical narratives because conservatives were upset that the eight textbooks already approved for use during the brief non-conservative government of 2003-2007 gave too much weight to “left-wing” views. Conservatives argued that history must be written to “glorify” the nation, which is propaganda rather than history.
 
South Korea is hardly the only country to see the control of history as a way of instilling loyalty to the nation and the government, but this controversy speaks to the dangers of letting nationalism and emotion determine our understanding of the past.

Meine Herren, I strongly protest ! There is a well known German philologist, Erhard Landmann, who showed that each ancient language is derived from - you may guess it - Old German. Here is an English-language text written by him: http://elifonaot.q32.de/cms/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=pdf_en:thedecodingofthesocalledmayahieroglyphsandthel.pdf

I read the pdf you linked to and I'm curious. His paper reminds me of two other claims that I read years ago.

Is Landmann actually respected in his field?

Information I found was all in German so I'm at a loss.

“One notices the very special role which many of our authors ascribe to France, as the nation which will eventually lead the world to salvation; [Jean] Parvulesco, for instance, says that France has inherited the spiritual leadership of Tibet. On the other hand, we have heard more than enough about those who attributed a sacred mission to the German people. In Britain, a strong movement clings to the national myths of King Arthur and Glastonbury: Britain, they say, will answer the call to lead a spiritual instead of an earthly empire. In Italy, [Julius] Evola believe in the sacrality of the Caesars, and hoped for its revival in the next-best form of Facism. American philosophers such as the late Manly Palmer Hall write of the secret destiny of the United States, laid down by those masonic illuminates, the Founding Fathers. Theosophists look for the Sixth Root Race to appear on the beaches of California, or Australia. Miguel Serrano put his trust in Chile and its South American neighbors, obedient to a reversal of polarities in a world that has too Long been north-heavy. Père Martin seems to think that the ‘Grande Monarque’ will come from French Canada. And what of Holy Russia? What of the inhabitants of Poland who think that they are under the special patronage of the Virgin? What of Prague, capital of alchemy and Kabbalah, heart of Europe and the best hope of the former Communist satellites?”

The nations like Romania and Georgia are experiencing an identity crises after their years of Soviet domination.

In some ways it's understandable, but still scary because it's almost the same as Germany after WWI.

The need to feel proud of their heritage has to come from something /somewhere.
It'll be unfortunate if they choose the worst we have to offer to fill that void.

South Korea should no the danger of glorifying a former president. They need only look to the north to see how that turns out.

Where did you people came with the things you are saying?
I never said that Romanian is the language of God or that Romanians and the Romanian language is the purest. Where did you get that imbecility? Aren't you ashamed to lie like that?

It is one thing to debate, or to expose insane things said by somebody and another to lie so insolently.

Would you please get an example from my book, copied exactly word by word where such imbecilities is written? If you don't do it will you please explain why?

What I said, is that in Romanian language exists the skeleton of the language from before the Great Flood and that in Romanian language one can climb on a linguistic ladder (by connecting the words) all the way to the very first words. That is very different of what you people understood. Actually it is not that you understood wrong, but you created the untruth you you came up with.

And I didn't say the "Semitic" languages were "invented" (languages do not get invented), but what it is called "the Semitic Race" today evolved (not invented), from the great disturbance created by the Muslim uprising.

I have proof for everything I wrote and here is an example:

The word PRIVILEGE. It is composed of two Romanian words;

PRIVE-STE meaning "look over" and LEGE "law" gave birth to the word PRIVE-LEGE.
In other words the PRIVILEGED people were in charge of the law. They made sure that people under them obeyed the law.
Please don't come with the imbecility that the word "privilege" has something to do with Latin "privo" meaning "to deprive, to rob" or "privus" meaning "single, one each", because it does not make sense and the word "law" is LEX.

Or how do you explain that Romanian words like GAURIT means GORED and MIC is pronounced exactly the same like MEEK in English and means exactly the same. The same with the word MERGE. And the word DEPARTAT means "gone far away" like the English DEPARTED.
No Latin or any other language connections exist to the words above. Only English and Romanian.

You people have a very disturbing way of twisting, cheating and lying about things I wrote.

Nu fi dezamagit daca putini o sa citeasca cu atentie si inteligenta ceea ce a-i scris si si mai putini o sa inteleaga... O sa inteleaga exact atatia de cati este nevoie pentru a merge pe urmele revelatiilor tale si a le adanci..

Ti-am citit si recitit cartea (la fel ca si cea despre Blue Comunism) si trebuie sa-ti marturisesc ca rareori mi-a fost dat sa studiez o expunere atat de logica si la obiect.

Cei care te incadreaza rapid in anumite curente, cei care iti pun etichete si te sorteaza rapid intr-un sertar bine definit de "oamenii de stiinta" nu sunt decat "comunistii inteligentei", oameni siguri pe cunostintele lor, pe "adevarurile" lor si pentru care nu exita decat opinia oficiala venita pe linie de partid (mainstream media).

Pentru a intelege ceea ce ai scris si demonstrat tu e nevoie de un filon lingvistic (si indraznesc sa spun si de unul genetic) cu civilizatia de care vorbesti. Toti acesti dezradacinati spiritual si intelectual nu or sa faca altceva decat sa incerce sa demonstreze (pentru linistea lor interioara) ca toate rasele au fost la fel de inteligente, de spirituale, de inventive si creatoare de cultura si civilizatie...

It is great that many people started this search of the past, but unfortunately most people are on the wrong track. Since your findings matched mine obviously we must be on the right direction.

If you intend to read the book "Why and How the Ice Age Ended & the true History of the White Race", you must understand that it is an extremely concentrated book which requires the reader to have much knowledge of history already.

It seems to me that you already did a good research, and in that book you will find a lot of things which will explain things you already observed, but had no answer for them.

It took me 20 years (full time) of studies and writing in order to put together that book. Nobody does such things these days. It is a lot easier to simply place some lies on internet (as it happened in this case), to get some fame in a hurry, than to do as much real research as possible in order to find the truth.

In one fell swoop he's solved the mystery of Atlantis (I know it's not really a mystery, but these guys don't ) established who the first people of Europe were, and what the first language was which, of course, was God's own tongue.

Also, he has taken away any anti-semite's guilt because the original Jews aren't the ones who carry the name now.

You made an excellent observation, but how many people do understand what you pointed out.
Because your observation and comment shows quite a bit of intelligence, I decided to show some facts from the book and ask your opinion. Do they make any sense?

In the book I presented quite a few words which match English and Romanian perfectly, but those words do not exist in Latin or Greek.
Here are a few;

Romanian………English

SPECIE…………SPECIES
CREATIE……….CREATION
REAL…………….REAL
SECRET…………SECRET
SERENADA…….SERENADE
GALOP………….GALLOP
These are extremely important and very basic words. Since these words didn’t exist in Latin where did they come from in so far away nations?

Jason Colavito claims that these words came from Vulgar Latin. What he doesn’t know, is that Vulgar Latin didn’t exist. There never was such a thing and there is absolutely not a single phrase written in that language.
This Vulgar Latin crap came as a response to my undeniable proof that these words have their roots in Romanian language. What happened is that when the bible was translated from Greek to Latin, the new bible in Latin was called VULGATA. It means “translated/revealed”, …….related to the English word “divulged”.

Incompetent scholars and linguists have interpreted this “vulgata/vulgate” as some variation of the Latin language.

Now I will show a little how these words have their roots in Romanian language.
For example; the word CREATION very clearly comes from the Romanian word CREIER which means “brain”.
The word CREIER exists only in Romanian language. From this word other words like CRANIU meaning “cranium” (that is because the brain is inside) and CRAI meaning “king/head of a nation” in Romanian, and CRAINIC matching and explaining the English word CRIER.
SEARA means “evening” in Romanian and that is where the word SERENADE evolved from, because serenades were sung in the evenings.
The word GALLOP evolved from Romanian word CAL meaning “horse”. In Latin “horse” is EQU. In Romanian GALOPIND is GALLOPING and the resemblance is striking. Not only that, but suffixes like:

Romanian………English

LUCR-IND………WORK-ING
FUG-IND………...RUNN-ING
VORB-IND………TALK-ING
……..are exactly the same in Romanian and English. The difference is only the last letter. The difference between the letter D and G is minimal therefore it can be said that the suffixes are exactly the same.
How did this grammar which didn’t exist in Latin ended up in both English and Romanian after 2000 years of separation? Not to mention that both English and Romanian didn’t have any written texts and they were never a great civilization to which the language can be attributed.
The book is filled with lexicons and etymologic explanations, but …….Colavito didn’t bring any of these facts and prove them wrong.

Not only that, but here is what he stated that existed in the book;
-------„Our author took inspiration from William Ryan and Walter Pitman, who claimed that the Black Sea flooded catastrophically at the end of the Ice Age. To this claim, our author adds the pole-shift theory favored by such fringe writers as Immanuel Velikovsky and Charles Hapgood and adds to it Ignatius Donnelly’s racist view of Atlantis as a paradise for white people before Noah’s Flood”.-----
I discovered way before Ryan and Pitman that everything started around Pontus (Black Sea). Their theory only clicked perfectly with my discovery. It was a perfect thing coming exactly at the right time, but they were proven wrong. That was because in their theory it was that Mediterranean Sea flooded Pontus. I corrected that by revealing the fact that the Ice Age ended suddenly, because the inclination of the axis changed suddenly. Glaciers started melting very fast and that melted water flooded Pontus and when it filled, it cut the canal named Bosporus. In other words the direction of the waters was exactly the reverse. It was fresh water going from Pontus into Mediterranean not the other way around.

Perhaps the most imbecilic statement made by …….Colavito is;
-------„To this claim, our author adds the pole-shift theory favored by such fringe writers as Immanuel Velikovsky and Charles Hapgood”.--------
Where did he get that from? Never anywhere in the book is any mention of “pole-shift” whatsoever. My conclusion is that “the inclination of the axis was changed” very probably by an asteroid or comet hitting the earth. That is very different than “pole-shift”.

Let me explain this fact

In the paragraph beginning "Only in Romania," you state "It’s strange that a brief occupation held such an outside influence...." I suspect that you meant to say "outsized" rather than "outside."

Romania has a history of anti-semitism, so it is not surprising that this author would distinguish Semitic Jews from the "true Jews."

"Only in Romania would such a claim even have a shadow of respectability." - that is offensive and false. The claim doesn't have any shadow of respectability in Romania even if Codrin Ştefănescu told you about it. He is not much respected, either. Also, he is a politician, not a historian.
There are all sorts of crackpots who will believe anything, this doesn't make a claim respectable.
There is something we call "Dacomania" or "Dacian new age" in Romania with its roots in protochronism, but none of it has been mainstream science, not even in Ceausescu's days.
I noticed a mistake in mr. Raven's comment above - his whole thing about "gallop" coming from "cal", the Romanian word for "horse", is wrong. Latin has another word for "horse", not only "equus": "caballus".
The Romanian word "cal" comes from the latin "caballus", I learned that in 9th grade (first year in high school) in 1989.

Below is a lexicon of the word CAL (horse) and related words.

Romanian...........Latin...............English

CAL...................EQU.....................HORSE
CALARE............EQUESTER..........MOUNTED
CALARET...........EQUES................RIDER
CALATOR..........VIATOR................TRAVELER
CALATORIE.......PEREGRINATIO...TRAVEL
GALOP..............CURSUS..............GALLOP

Since you Gabriel know so much Latin would you please write a lexicon with the "Latin" word CABBALO instead of ECU (horse). I want to see how you conjugate that.

You will never do it, because the word CABBALO for "horse" in Latin came from the Gauls and referred to a skin and bones barely walking animal. The word CAVALRY didn't exist in Latin. It arrived in Italian from French word for horse.

Please analyse the lexicon above and judge how well the words derived from CAL "horse" conjugate in Romanian. How can the words in the lexicon above conjugate better in Romanian then Latin? If Romanian descended from Latin shouldn't Romanian conjugation be a mess as it is in English?
Why doesn't English language have a well coordinated grouping related to the word horse as Romanian words does?

I will show how the conjugation should be in English:

Romanian............English

CAL....................HORSE
CALARE.............HORSEON
CALARET...........HORSER
CALATOR...........HORSITER
CALATORIE .......HORSITERIA
GALOPING.........HORSING

That is more or less what the Romanian translation would be and anyone can see that it was possible to have those words constructed in English language. Why didn't they?..... Because the language is past on from father to son to grandson and so on. The words are used as they come into the language. Who created that perfect conjugation in Romanian language?

I will tell you the secret. It was the necessity who created those words. If Romanian language had the words for horse from Latin, combined with other languages that was suppose to have run over Romania, the Romanian conjugation would be as messy as the English one.

But The Huns, Goths, Avars and the rest of Barbarians were not other nations running over Romania, but were of Romanian origin and sprung from there. That is why Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and half of English is closer to Romanian than to Latin.

He and you are doing much damage to your nation; him because he does make claims without any proof, and you, because without ever reading a decent book in your life, pretend great understanding, wisdom and decency. You have none of those, nor do you have any ability to express even simple expressions in a decent manner. Do you think that you fooled anyone with any common sense?

What is this mess which you wrote? " ----pls travel here and learn that yourself before you make stupid articles saying that we think we are the origin of the world and than saying that only insignificant countries will come up with this theory to boost self esteem , you my friend" ----
You call that writing? I never went one single hour to any English school, and spoke my first words in English at the age of 25. And English was my fifth language in the order of learning,...... which languages I learned by traveling all over the world.
And don't call me "your friend".......that very false expression is proof of your inferior and false character.

I wrote that book because after studying just about all the antiquity writers which survived and were translated in English, from Herodotus to Anna Comnnena for more than 10 years; I arrived at the conclusion that the real history is very different than the one taught in schools.

I DIDN'T MAKE THE HISTORY, I ONLY EXPLAIN IT.

I didn't write the book in order to antagonize anyone, I only did it in order to call attention to the real history and etymology.
Why do you think that it is something damaging to human race to restore the original language from where all the Indo-European languages evolved?

Nowhere in the book I wrote the lies this Colavito implies. I did say that Romanian language is the closest to the original language and I can prove it. I did proved it in the book, and in any debate I have on the internet with the greatest etymologists in the world. Actually, by now none of them dear to debate me on etymology anymore, because they all lost badly.

Don't you have a brain of your own?
Haven't you read my lexicons above?
Why don't you point out what is wrong with my lexicons above instead of writing pointless accusations the way you did? I tell you why!...... because it is a lot easier to write pointless imbecilities than to debate logically a subject.

According to German scientists Atlantis was in the Black Sea and the surrounding area. The article you can read here http://www.black-sea-atlantis.com/schoppe.pdf This is the region where the first human civilization on earth was built too and which became the mother of all civilizations. Currently British and Bulgarian team of scientists is working in the Black Sea to uncover more about the sunken cities. The only thing they need to correct is their claim that the Greeks descend from the Atlantheans. It is the Thracians who do and the modern nations of Bulgaria, Romania etc excluding Greece and Turkey. Since the Greeks are Ethiopians and the Turks are recent migrants from Asia and Africa.

Thank you for your support and directives for learning about those historical facts.
I like to point out to you that it was Raven Alb J who was the very first and the only one who came with the understanding that the city of Atlantis is under the Black Sea and about the fact that Atlantis was Europe of today. I have recorded my writings with American Library of Congress a couple of years before it was published and nobody can ever prove otherwise.

It was Raven Alb J who also said in the same book that the people around Lake Pontus (Black Sea of today) who survived the Great Flood spoke one single language and by spreading in all directions after the Great Flood gave birth to many languages.

It was also Raven Alb J who dared to point out to all the scholars and scientists the Ice Age ended suddenly and how, and that Great Flood did exist, because when all those glaciers melted, normally tremendous floods took place. Having such immense floods of course animal extinctions took place. How much of a brain is necessary to figure that out?
It does not take much brain, but it was Raven Alb J who dear say it and face the world with it. Now everybody talks about those things and nobody say it was Raven Alb J who pointed it out. But there are lies like written by this Colavito about Raven Alb J. Why would anyone do that?

It is one thing to accept that the scientists, scholars and the media do not say anything about the fact that Raven Alb J came up with all these new things which now are studied by all sorts of scientists and scholars, and it is a very different thing to accept the lies written by Colavito. I expected the first, but I never believed that such an insolent liar like Colavito will write on the internet such insanity. What did he think? A man like Raven Alb J who dear face the whole congregation of scientists, scholars and Her Majesty the American Media will sit and do nothing after writing his lies? Why doesn't he reply to my comments?

When Guatemalans add an l to ocelot and get ocelotl, I want to keep one in a palatul. The island Atl sunk, and they came to latin americam so the Black Sea probably sloshed at the same time Plato syncs with the Atl story.
