Danite Outline

First migrations of Israelites from Egypt occurred around 1500 BC. They travelled acrossed the Mediterranean and settled in Crete, Troy, Rome, Greece and actually began those civilizations.

(1) When the ten plagues with which the Egyptians were smitten commenced, iqrops fled from Egypt to the city of Aqts, in Greece, which he built as the Metropolis. There he established the throne of the kingdom of the Soanites, and became the first king of the Atinisim (Athenians)i.e., the oanites. After him there reigned seventeen kings and nineteen princes, until the reign of Cambyses, the son of Cyrus, King of Persia. (2) At the end of the Book of Joshua it is written, 'So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.' Joseph ben Gorion asserts in his book that when the heathen made a covenant, after shedding the blood of the calf and sprinkling it upon the ground, they used to say, 'Thus shall the blood of him who breaks this covenant which we have made be shed.' Joshua then issued a decree to the Israelites that they should pour water upon the ground instead of blood, to fulfil the command, 'Thou shalt not do according to their deeds.'(3) In those days, in the time of Joshua, there lived a certain man Eriqtonios, who was the first to construct a chariot in Greece. http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/coj/coj060.htm

King Erichthonius (/rkons/; Greek: Erichthonios)[1] was a legendary early ruler of ancient Athens, Greece. According to some myths, he was autochthonous (born of the soil, or Earth) and raised by the goddess Athena https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erichthonius_of_Athens

And Cadmus, King of Egypt, went from Thebes (###) and came to Tyre and Sidon, and there reigned. In the land of Greece there also reigned Cadmus Europes Tapanes, and he called the name of the royal city Tapanes.

Tahpanhes or Tahapanes or Tehaphnehes = "thou will fill hands with pity" a city in Egypt; modern 'Tel Defenneh' or 'Tel Defneh' located approx 18 miles (29 km) east southeast from Tanishttp://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/Lexicon/Lexicon.cfm?strongs=H8471&t=KJV

Tahpanhes (also transliterated Tahapanes or Tehaphnehes; known by the Ancient Greeks as Daphnae (), now Tell Defenneh) was a city in Ancient Egypt. It was located on Lake Manzala on the Tanitic branch of the Nile, about 26km (16 miles) from Pelusium. The site is now situated on the Suez Canal. According to the Hebrew Bible, the Jews from Jerusalem fled to this place after the death of Gedaliah and settled there for a time (Jeremiah 2:16; 43:7,8,9; 44:1; 46:14; Ezekiel 30:18).A platform of brick-work, which has been tentatively described as the pavement at the entry of Pharaoh's palace, has been discovered at this place. "Here," says the discoverer, William Flinders Petrie, "the ceremony described by Jeremiah 43:8-10; 'brick-kiln' (i.e. pavement of brick) took place before the chiefs of the fugitives assembled on the platform, and here Nebuchadnezzar II spread his royal pavilion".[1]King Psammetichus (664610 BC) established a garrison of foreign mercenaries at Daphnae, mostly Carians and Ionian Greeks (Herodotus ii. 154). After Jerusalem was destroyed in 586 BC, the Jewish fugitives, including Jeremiah, came to Tahpanhes (Jeremiah Chapters 43-44). When Naucratis was given the monopoly of Greek traffic by Amasis II (570526 BC), the Greeks were removed from Daphnae and its prosperity never returned; in Herodotus' time the deserted remains of the docks and buildings were visible.The site was discovered by Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie in 1886; it was then known by natives as the "Castle of the Jew's Daughter".[2] There is a massive fort and enclosure; the chief discovery was a large number of fragments of pottery, which are of great importance for the chronology of vase-painting, since they must belong to the time between Psammetichus and Amasis, i.e. the end of the 7th or the beginning of the 6th century BC. They show the characteristics of Ionian art, but their shapes and other details testify to their local manufacture.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahpanhes

Its difficult to talk about the early Phoenicians without first talking about the Exodus and the time of Joshua. Even before that, Mycenean Greece founded by the Danaan Greeks, who were the tribe of Dan from Egypt. If you read Euripides and his poems about the sons and daughters of Danaus and Aegyptus you can see that the Danites made parodies in the 5th and 6th centuries BC and made up a story about how the Daughters of Danaus fled Egypt and eventually settled in Pelopponesus, Greece. This was said to have occurred long before the Trojan War.

In fact, the Greeks that fought in the Trojan War are Danaan Greeks. The Dorian Greeks do not arrive until a couple of generations after the Trojan War. Now, by all Greek chronologies the Trojan War is probably around 1180-1200 BC. This coincides with the approximate middle of the Judges period in Israelite history.

Now, Danaus had fifty sons, and they took to them the fifty daughters of Egisates, their brother. But one day one of the brothers arose, and, killing all the others, reigned in their stead. (5) At that time, in the days of Othniel, Cadmus reigned in Thebes, and the city of Bianya (###) was built by Tapanes. He first introduced the letters of the Greek writing. The city of Epira (###), now called Corinthus, was also then built by Sisipo. Minos, the son of Eoripi (###), reigned then in Cretehttp://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/coj/coj060.htm

Zarah Judah is the founding tribe of Troy. By the time of the Exodus the Zarah branch of the tribe Judah had already founded Troy and the Danaan Greeks had already founded cities in the Pelopponesus. The Greeks, Menander of Ephesus and Diodorus Siculous, testify to this in their historical records as well. All ancient historians say that the Caligians and the Carians originated from the Islands and are related to the Phoenicians. The Greeks of Thebes are also descendants of the Phoenicians. Between the Carians and the Caligians, who are said to be Phoenicians, the Carians became the Milesians (named after Miletus, their primary city).

Thales was the first great Greek philosopher and he was called, by Herodotus, a Phoenician by Race. King Minos is connected to the Phoenicians as well. Heracles is also a Phoenician. Heracles in the mythology was said to have saved Andromeda from the sea monster and this is said to have occurred, by Josephus and Strabo, in Joppa, Palestine. The earliest Greek legends are connected to the Near East/Palestine.

The Dorian Greeks conquered the Pelopponesus by Sea. Homer mentions the Dorian Greeks being on the Island of Crete during the Trojan War. The children of Heracles, the Heraclidae, they are rejected form the Pelopponesus by the Danaans, they leave by sea and return with the Dorians. Archaeology shows us that there is a lot of Greek architecture at Dor in Palestine, which is from a time before the Assyrian destruction of Israel (745 BC). It would seem apparent that the Dorians came from Dor in Palestine and that Crete was a checkpoint for them before entering the Pelopponesus. The King of Sparta in the 2nd century BC wrote a letter to Jerusalem and recorded the kinship between the Spartans and the Jews proving that the Dorian Greeks are indeed Israelites.
