-Caveat Lector- In light of the current threads on prehistoric migration and exploration and their implications for history, here's a piece arguing that the Araucanas of Chile are of Greek origin. > -----Original Message----- > From: m [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 20, 1999 4:13 PM > To: Eternera > Subject: Araucanos are descedants of ancient Greeks > > Eternera Mailing List - http://get.to/eternera Excuse me, list owner, this > has nothing to do with NWO but it is interesting. > The book "The Greek origin of Araucanos (or Araukanos?) of Chile" made its > second Greek edition. > The book is written by Lonko Kilapan, chief of the Araukanos tribe that > lives in Chile. He claims - and proves, as I've been told, because I > haven't read it yet - that Araukanos are offspring of ancient Greeks, > namely Spartans, who went to Chile about 600 a.D. and founded a colony. > Araukanos still follow the ancient Spartan laws of Lycourgos. > It is a fact that there is a sympathy between the people of Greece and > Chile, a sympathy that seems to have no specific reason. Pablo Neruda, a > Nobel-prized poet from Chile, used to lay emphasis on his Araukanos > origin, associating this origin with the tribal tradition that Araukanos > are descedants of Greeks. In his poem "Canto Jeneral" he speaks > specifically of "Greek blood", that "goes down from the mountains to the > sea". > As far as I know, Greeks have discovered America in ancient times, before > Colombus of course. This epirus is mentioned in ancient Greek writings > with the name "Hesperia", that is to say Western land. Greek arms have > been discovered in tombs in America, but I don't remember where. > Fortunately enough, Greeks were not of genocidal mentality, so their > discovery had no deplorable incidents. > I am not among the nuts who believe that all earth inhabitants are > descedants of Greeks. Moreover, there is no need to have blood > relationship with peoples in order to like them. This is racism. > But, despite of what some nuts are saying, many people allover the earth > are of Greek origin or of mixing of Greeks with local inhabitants- i.g. > Italians, particularly Sicelians, and Spaniards. > There is a similarity among some tribal systems of American Indians and > the ancient Greek communal system, that still exists in the form of > Christian parishes in small communities. Of course this may be a > coincidense. The best thing for the nowadays people is to know one > another, and to love one another, despite of blood relationships. > M. > ______________________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ______________________________________________________________________ > DIGITAL CAMERAS Need to capture your moments and translate them over the > internet?
