indicates its wide prevalence in Ancient Britain and Scandinavia. And the modern popular superstition "to touch Wood" in order to avert ill-luck is clearly a survival of this ancient" Sun-worship" of the wooden Cross. The meaning of this superstition is now seen to be, to touch the devilbanishing Wood Cross of Victory of the Sun-cult, which every Aryanized Briton carried on their person as a luck-compelling talisman against the devils and Druidical curses of the aboriginal Serpent-Dragon cult.

But neither the Cross on the pre-Christian Briton Cross monuments or carried on their persons and still carried on our national British standards, nor the Sun itself, of which the Cross was the symbol, were the objects of worship among these Early Aryans, so-called "Sun and Fireworshippers," but the Supreme God behind the Cross and the Sun, as we shall see further in the next chapter.

"

In illustration of the Early Aryan hymns which our ancestral Sumero-Phoenician Britons offered up in adoration to the "God of the Sun" at their Cross monuments, and presumably also at their solar Stone Circles in early “ pagan Britain, let us hear what the orthodox Sumerian hymns to the Father God of the Sun sing over a thousand years before the birth of Abraham :

SUMERIAN ("CYMRIAN") PSALMS TO THE SUN-GOD. "O Sun-God in the horizon of heaven thou dawnest! The pure bolts of heaven thou openest!

The door of heaven thou openest!

Thou liftest up thy head to the world,

Thou coverest the earth with the bright firmament of heaven! Thou settest thy ear to the prayers of mankind;

Thou plantest the foot of mankind.

*

"O Sun-God, judge of the world art thou!

"'1

Lord of the living creation, the pitying one who (directed) the world!

On this day purify and illumine, the king, the Son of God, Let all that is wrought of evil within his body be removed! Like the cup of the Zoganes cleanse him!

Like a cup of clarified oil make him bright!

Sumerian Hymns in C.I.W.A., 4, 20, 2, translated by Prof. Sayce (S.H.L., 491).

SUMERIAN & GOTHIC HYMNS TO SUN 313

Like the copper of a polished tablet make him bright!
Undo his illness.

Direct the law of the multitudes of mankind!

Thou art eternal Righteousness in heaven!
Justice in heaven, a bond on earth art thou !
Thou knowest right, thou knowest wickedness!
Righteousness has lifted up its foot,

Wickedness has been cut by Thee as with a knife.”1

"O Sun God, who knowest (all things)! Thine own counsellor art thou!

Thy hands bring back to thee the spirits of all men.
Wickedness and evil dealing thou destroyest.

Justice and Righteousness thou bringest to pass.
May all men be with Thee! "'*

It will thus be seen that these pious ancestral early Aryan Sumerians under the bright beams of the Sun caught those still brighter beams of the Sun of Righteousness.

And the same "Sun-worship" is reflected in the Eddas of the Northern Goths, as, for instance, in the Solar Liod or "Lay of the Sun," an artless swan-song of a dying old Gothic chieftain, on his last view of the Sun at sunset :"I saw the Sun! the shining Day-Star! Drop down to his home i' the west! Then Hell-gates heard I the other way Thudding open heavily.

I saw the Sun set dropping to Hell's stoves,
Much was I then heel'd out o' home.

More glorious He look'd o'er the many paths
Than ever He had looked afore.

I saw the Sun! and so thought I,

I was seeing the Glory of God.

To Him, I bow'd low for the hindmost time
From my old home i' this earth.”

It will now be understood from these Sumerian, Vedic, Barat and other hymns of the Gentile Barat Khatti or

2 lb., 5, 50, 51 (S.H.L., 156).

Goths of the Cross-cult, how the Goths and Britons, already endowed with such an exalted religion, so readily embraced the religion of "Christ of Galilee of the Gentiles" and also transferred to it their sacred Cross-which they also called "Cross" or Garza-as it possessed so much in common with the old "pagan pagan" religion of their own Gentile Gothic ancestors, the Getæ, Gads, Guti, Catti, Khatti or "Hitt-ites."

We thus discover by a large series of facts that the Sun cult was widely prevalent in pre-Roman Britain under its Catti kings, and that it was introduced there about 2800 B.C. or earlier, by the sea-faring, tin-exploiting and colonizing Catti or Hitto-Phoenician Barats or Britons from Cilicia-SyriaPhoenicia, who were the Aryan ancestors of the present-day Britons.

Disclosing pre-Christian Worship of Andrew in Early Britain & Hittite Origin of Crosses on Union Jack & Scandinavian Ensigns, Unicorn & Cymric Goat as Sacred Goat of Indara," Goat" as rebus for "Goth"; and St. Andrew as an Aryan Phoenician.

STILL further evidence for the Hitto-Phoenician origin of the Britons, Scots and Anglo-Saxons is found in the legend of St. Andrew with his X Cross as the patron saint of the Scyths, Gothic Russia, Burgundy of the Visi-Goths from the Rhine to the Baltic, Goth-land and Scotland. We shall now find that the Apostle bearing the Aryan Gentile and non-Hebrew name of Andrew was presumably an Aryan Phoenician, and that the priestly legend attached to 1"1 Indara" (=" Induru ") is here used instead of its synonym Ea as given in this translation.
