In our distant India they tell a tale,
απ’ the ones that make you smile,
because they have a surprisingly instructive ending..

Once upon a time there was an emperor , who had chosen as his personal advisor a very wise old man
but which had a great defect, he kept repeating,
“whatever happens to you is for your own good…whatever happens to you is for your own good”…

But the emperor even though the “fault” of the sage irritated him,
 she kept him close because his advice and wisdom, they were very useful to him for this reason as well, he always took him with him, especially when he was moving away from the palace.

A rainy day, the emperor decided to beautify himself and after being washed by the women of the court, he asked the barber to shave and give him a manicure.
But while the barber was cutting his nails, there was a thunder so loud that the emperor and the barber were so frightenedwhere the barber cut off the emperor's little finger…

Screams, pain and anger overwhelmed the emperor who fell upon the barber in great rage :
“Fast to jail, unworthy, you cut off the emperor's finger, you will rot in prison for the rest of your life!”
Then the wise old man intervened and started repeating again :
“what happens to you is for your own good…, whatever happens to you is for your own good”…
The emperor full of rage, he shouted:
“That's enough, with this nonsense, I got tired of you all these years and you in prison, so you will be able to n’ you listen to your own crap for the rest of your life!”

The next day the emperor, to vent and relax, he decided to go hunting in the forest, alone of course, since he had imprisoned the old sage who usually followed him everywhere.

While in the forest , suddenly he was surrounded by the heretic warriors of the goddess Kali, 
they captured him and were very happy to find a victim to sacrifice to their goddess.

The emperor, he shouted, she screamed, he begged, but nothing.
They had decided to sacrifice him to the goddess Kali who was the goddess of evil and celebrated that day.
So they dressed him in the special cassock, they anointed him with their holy oil, they tied him to the altar and while the leaderhe was ready to plunge the knife into his heart, he saw, with horror, that a limb was missing from the victimhis little finger, cursing and spitting he loosed him, for they were not permitted to sacrifice one who was not worthy andso they let him go…

Still dazed, the emperor quickly ran to his palace and on the way realized what had happened, the wise old man was right and fortunately in that accident the barber cut off his finger andthus his life was saved.
What mattered one little finger less in the face of the danger he had run through;
Better alive and with one less finger than dead!

Arriving at the palace the emperor, he immediately went to the prisons and freed the barberand then he went to the wise old man, entered the cell, hugged him and told him:
“My friend, forgive me, for the harm I have done to you, how blind i was.
I was captured by the heretics of the goddess Kali and while they were about to sacrifice me, they saw that I was missing my little finger and let me go, you were right my friend, “what happens to us is for our good!”
Forgive me my friend, you will always be near me and the whole kingdom belongs to you…
But now please tell me, you, that I put you in prison, which is the good thing that happened to you;”
.

Calmly the old man looked at the emperor and answered him :
You see, Your Excellency, if you had not imprisoned me I would have accompanied you, as always, in your hunt in the forest and I do not miss a finger…!
“Everything that happens to us is for our own good”.

K A L O M I N A. April is the fourth month in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.

K A L O M I N A

Ο Απρίλιος είναι ο τέταρτος μήνας κατά το Ιουλιανό και το Γρηγοριανό ημερολόγιο. According to the Romans it was the second month of the year. It was named after the Latin verb aperio, which means to open, επειδή το μήνα αυτό ανοίγουν τα πάντα: the trees, the flowers, the weather. It is the quintessential spring month, γι’ αυτό στην αρχαία Ρώμη ήταν αφιερωμένος στη θεά Αφροδίτη.
Ο λαός μας ονόμαζε τον Απρίλη Ανθομήνα, because it brings many flowers, Ξεροκοφινά και Τιναχτοκοφινίδη γιατί τότε εξαντλούνται οι φτωχικές συγκομιδές του γεωργού, Αηγιωργίτη απ’τον εορτασμό της μνήμης του Αγ. Γεωργίου και Λαμπριάτη επειδή συνήθως συμπίπτει ο εορτασμός του Πάσχα.

BOOK HISTORY DDIMOTIKOU: THE ALPHABET IS OUR…Phenicia!!!!!!!!!!!

To my great surprise and anger, the Elementary School History book (Δ΄Τάξη), approved by the Ministry of Education, in 14 page, directly says that our alphabet, the Greek, it is not Greek, but Phoenician!
After the first shock,that I received in the classroom a few years ago when I was still teaching, I begged the children, to think if such a thing could be true.
How can a civilization later than the Greeks lend instead of borrow;
How can a civilization that offered none of the seven wonders of antiquity, disbanded and no longer exists, to give Lights to the Photo-Giving Greeks;
How could Homer have written the two world-renowned and far-reaching works of the Iliad and the Odyssey in the same chronological period, in Greek language but with a borrowed alphabet, at the moment when the Phoenicians have nothing comparable or even inferior to show;
How can they and what brainless people do it, to put Greek children and their teachers, to teach and be taught by…of their birth that..they are not..Greeks;
Then I quote the,what evidence I have been able to find is positive and comforting:


 A. What is the Phoenician Alphabet?.
According to Linguistics as “alphabet” is defined as “a set of symbols in a certain order and order, which serve to render the elementary forms of a language, with the restriction that each pair corresponds to s’ a single symbol and vice versa". In alphabetical writing therefore (that is, the writing of the peoples of Europe, of America, of Australia and other parts of the world) each letter gives an elementary sound.

This is not the case in the more imperfect syllabic scripts, in which each symbol assigns a syllable (two or more sounds-tones), such as e.g. in the syllabic Greek scripts Linear A and B a symbol represents the syllable – Mr (k+o), another symbol the syllable po (p+o) coke. In the Phoenician script (which has only consonants and no vowels), in its barely preserved specimens, the situation is still “worse”, since each of its symbols does not even yield a specific syllable, but different, which their reading is left to “inspiration” of the reader. So e.g. a consonant can be read as ba, boo, come in, bi, bo etc., or some other as gu, ga, bro, go etc. Therefore, the Phoenician script is not only not an alphabet, but it is not even a sophisticated syllabic script, of the degree of perfection of the corresponding Greek.

And it is indeed an amazing fact, that has been established in science in recent times 150 years about the contradictory term “Phoenician alphabet”, in order for a script that has nothing to do with the alphabet. And even more incredible is the imposition of scientific dogma, that the Greek alphabet came from the Phoenician, which is not only not an alphabet, but it is a more imperfect script than the Greek Linear Scripts A and B. For these reasons, according to the recently deceased president of the Society of Greek Philologists Univ. Georguntzos is the characterization given by Professor G. Babiniotis in Phoenician writing “quasi-syllabic alphabet” (;!) is rejected and must be replaced with the correct one “purely contracted syllabary” writing system (see Univ. Georgiuntzou, The Greek Invention Alphabet: his article in Davlos magazine, issue. 142, October 1993, p. 8242).

B) The Greekness of the alphabet.

1. The archaeological evidence

The theory that the Alphabet is an invention of the Phoenicians was maintained, among others, by the argument that certain symbols of the Phoenician script resembled the letters of the alphabet, B.C. the A(alef) is the Greek A inverted or italicized etc. This argument seemed strong until now 100 years old, when linguists and historians still claimed that the Greeks knew no writing before him 800 e.g.!

Around the 1900 but Arthur Evans excavated Greek Minoan Crete and discovered the Greek Linear Scriptures, whose symbols were as shapes identical to the 17 at least out of 24 letters of the Greek Alphabet. Given that: a) the most ancient examples of these Greek writings (Linear A and B), which were subsequently also discovered in Pylos, in Mycenae, in Menidi, in Thebes, but also further north, to the line of the Danube and were then dated before the 1500 B.C. and b) the Phoenicians and their writing appear in history not before the 1300 B.C. Evans in his work Scripta Minoa formulated, he first, doubts about the truth of the theory that the Greeks received writing from the Phoenicians, expressing at the same time the scientific suspicion that the opposite probably happened.

Doubts about the non-priority of the Phoenicians over the Greeks in the discovery of writing became certainty, when Professor Paul Faure, international authority on Prehistoric Archaeology, published in the American Archaeological Journal, of Indiana University Press, Nestor (year 16, 1989, p. 2288) communication, in which he cites and deciphers signs of Greek Linear Writing, found in excavations on the cyclopean wall of Pilikata in Ithaca and dated by modern methods to 2700 B.C. The language of the signs is Greek and Faure's decipherment phonetically rendered the syllabic text as follows: A]RE-DA-TI. DA-MI-U-A-. A-TE-NA-KA-NA-RE(fight)-THE. This vocal performance is translated, according to the French professor always :"This is what I, Aredatis, give to Anassan, Aunt Rean:100 goat, 10 sheep, 3 pigs". Thus Faure proved, that the Greeks wrote and spoke Greek at least 1400 years before the appearance of the Phoenicians and their writing in history.

But the archaeological excavations in the Greek area in the last 12 years yielded many other big surprises: The Greeks wrote not only their syllabic Linear A and B Scripts but also a type of writing identical to that of the Alphabet from at least 6000 BC. Indeed in Dispelio, in the waters of the lake of Kastoria, Professor G. Khourmouziadis discovered an inscribed tablet with writing almost identical to the alphabet, which was dated by modern radiocarbon methods (C14) and of optical thermoluminescence at 5250 B.C.

Three years later the curator of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities N. Samson, digging it up “Cave of Cyclops” of the deserted island of Giura Alonissos (Northern Sporades), discovered fragments of vessels (“shells”) with letters identical to those of today's Greek Alphabet, which were dated by the same methods at 5500 – 6000 B.C. The same archaeologist conducting it 1995 excavations in Milos, discovered “Proto-Cycladic vessels” of the middle of the 3rd millennium BC, which bore identically the letters of the Greek Alphabet X,N,M,K,X,P,THE,Ε. It's obvious, that these archaeological discoveries not only already gave the character of the comedian to the so-called “Phoenician Theory” about the discovery of writing, but they overturn the entire official dating of Greek History, as it is taught, but also the official world History of Civilization.

2. THE “almost” mathematical proof.

But parallel to the demolition of its paper edifice “Phoenician” alphabet with the help of the archaeological hoe, a new overwhelming element also emerged, which was offered to us by the priest 20 years of modest and quiet study of the Greek Language and Scripture by a great researcher, Elias L. Chatsomoiro, which was unfortunately lost on 19 December 1991, but since he managed to finish, a few months before his untimely death, his radical research "History of the Genesis of the Greek Language – From Helopus the Predator to the age of Zeus- The Decoding of the Greek Alphabet".

In his research this, proved marvelously, that each letter of the Greek Alphabet contains a fixed code meaning, which he introduces literally or metaphorically as a partial meaning in the general meaning of every Greek word to which it belongs. So eventually every (ancient) Greek word is a quasi-acronym [such as e.g. D(months) Ε(treatment) THE(electrism): PPC], where each letter (depending on the position it occupies in the order of the letters of the word) gives an important or less important semantic element of it and all together give the logical definition of the concept expressed by the word. It is noted here, that her “difference notice” of meaning is usually given by the arctic letter.

There is certainly no room here, to present the code meanings of the letters of the Greek Alphabet as a whole, as analyzed in this revolutionary discovery in the field of the study of human speech. But indicatively I will choose only one of them 24 our letters, the u or Y (since this is also considered as “representatively Greek”, Y Greacum in the so-called “Latin” Alphabet, which is nothing more than a variant of Greek, of Chalkida). So the highest, as its shape shows, has the code meaning of cavity or (inverted) convexity and it introduces it into the meanings of the Greek words that contain it – and cat’ expansion, sometimes, and the importance of fluids (which by natural flow end up and fill the cavity).

First, I mention some names of vessels and liquids such as: kot-Y-li, go-Y-ttos, tr-Y-blion, p-y-xis, amphora-Y-s, b-Y-tion, lamp, pre-Y-s, ske-Yos etc. – all with the meaning of hollow object, but also most other words like k-Y-isis (convexity of the pregnant woman's abdomen), wave (convexity or depression in the surface of the sea), crypt (ground cavity), Sub (the intention: cavity below a level or level), Ultra (the intention: convexity over a level or plane=Y-height), all words that have as their first compounds the prepositions Y-po and Y-per, numbering in the hundreds, but also thousands of others. This genius discovery, which unfortunately the official science on 8 years still to “ignores”, although it is a continuation and completion of the forgotten Platonic approach to the problem of language (“Cratylus”):

1. Dispels the theory for good, that the Greek Language came from another (the alleged “Indo-European”), since it turns out to be the world's only non-conventional language, that is, the only language that exhibits a causal relationship between its signifier (word) and of its signifier (of the thing the word names).

2. Cat’ extension proves, that it is the first and only created language of the human species, from the corruption of which the conventional languages ​​sprang (that is, those where there is an acausal relationship between signifier and signified), as are all the other languages ​​of the planet without exception.

3. It proves beyond reasonable doubt, that the Alphabet was made by the Greeks, to perform with their codes 24 or 27 letters the meanings of the Greek words – and only these.

4. It shows comparatively, that the symbols of the Phoenician script and their names ("aleph" = ox, "beth"=hut, "gimel"=camel etc.) not only do they not include code names, but they contract or refer to primitive animal states.

C) The passage of Herodotus

All ancient Greek authors mentioned in the Alphabet (“Letters”, as they called it), they consider it an ancient Greek invention (of Prometheus, of Palamedes, of Linus etc.). His theory “Phoenician” Alphabetou has always been and still is based by its supporters on an exception to this rule. This exception is a passage from Herodotus, which he presents as his personal opinion ("as it seems to me" = as it seems to me…), which he formed, as mentioned in the previous paragraph, "resurgent" (=getting information from others). But let us look at the text of Herodotus (“History, E 58”):

"58. And the Phoenicians, who were the natives of Cadmus, were Gephyraeans, but many who settled in this country introduced the teachings of the Greeks and even letters, There was no Greek before as I do, at first, the same and everyone owes Phoenices; then, in the coming time, if they change the voice and the rhythm of the letters".

[58.And those Phoenicians, who together with Cadmus arrived, including the Gefyraios, and in many other places inhabiting this country they also introduced arts (new or unknown) to the Greeks and even (some) writing, which was not known before to the Greeks, as I think, first this writing which all the Phoenicians also use; but then in the course of time (the Phoenixes) they changed with the language (their) and this type of writing.]

In this passage the most important thing is, that in the critical phrase ("if they change the voice and the rhythm of the letters") is revealed, that the Phoenicians – Bridgers, who went to Boeotia with Cadmus, they brought some of their writing from Phoenicia, but as the Phoenicians changed their language (that is, they have already learned Greek), they changed their writing too (that is, they wrote with the ancient Greek script existing in Boeotia). So in this statement of Herodotus the translators give the meaning, that the local Greek Boeotians and not the Phoenician immigrants changed their own language and script and adopted Phoenician!

In this generally incoherent reference to the Alphabet, as rescued, the interventions-alterations that follow in the text are also obvious and were committed by unknown people and when. But let's look at the suspicious continuation of the text, as it arrived’ us:

"Perioikeon and many of the places at this time were Greek Ionians receiving teachings rather than Phoenicians' letters, sphere reformers little charge, charged, they did not arrive, osper and the righteous brought Phoenicians to Greece, Phenicia is called.

[They did not live near them (of the Phoenicians) in most places’ that time (of Cadmus) from the Greek Ionians, who, receiving through contact or even instruction from the Phoenicians, their writing, changing the form of their writing, using a little. This is what the users said, as it was fair, because they were introduced to Greece by the Phoenicians, to be called Phoenicians.]

This reference, against the U. Chatsomoiro (“Torch”, v. 118), that is to say that the Ionians are from the Greeks, the inhabitants around the Phoenicians received the Phoenician script and a few of its letters were used, after they modified them, and for the sake of justice, because the Phoenicians introduced them to Greece, they called them Phoenician, is a glaring contradiction and is therefore a bogus sub-paragraph, supposedly explanatory, which intends to render the previous information weightless "if the voice is changed and the rhythm of the letters". And yet the “Phoenician Theory” was founded entirely and is sustained on the foundation of this obvious forgery.

THE “Phoenician Theory” established in Europe at a time when, as the eminent contemporary English classical philologist S.G. Rembroke writes (“The Legacy of Greece, ed. Oxford University Press, 1984), "the Phoenicians were generally given an intermediary role", which eluded any information of history, that is, a role of carriers of the wisdom and culture of the wealth of the people of Israel to the uncivilized peoples and especially to the Greeks. Of course, these are forgivable, since talking about the end of the Middle Ages, so religious fanaticism and obscurantism had reached such a point, so that they want Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia as Jephthah's daughter, Deucalion as Noah, Appi as Joseph's adviser, Apollo, Priam, Tiresias and Orpheus as perversions of Moses, the story of the Argonauts as the passage of the Israelites from Egypt to Palestine and many others like it. These remarks are made by Rembroke.

And we conclude: Then Hellenism, found in terms of national self-consciousness in a comatose mental state and in terms of historical self-awareness in aphasia, he was completely unable to defend his history and his culture, and for’ this did not react and could not react.
Dimitris I. Lambrou

These thorough, the absolutely scientific and very correct reports by Mr. Dimitrios Lambrou in his above article.
That which causes grief and rage (more rage) it is with how much naivety; and surely a book by OEDB is coming, which constitutes “Gospel” in the eyes of students, parents and teachers, to say such inaccuracies and send such anti-Greek messages to souls “taste” unwritten papers ,innocent and white and mold consciousnesses into uncertainty and utter confusion.
I quote at this point a simple example of the greatness of the Greek language that yes, it is a Code with sacred symbols, (letters), on which he flourished, built Parthenons, the Greek Nation survived and will survive, on a course eternal in space and time, so that the computers of the future, they will talk and they will “they understand” only Greek characters and words “codes”. Because this Alphabet, it does not come from the Phoenicians either,nor from any other people:
It is of Divine origin, like the Greeks themselves.

WATER. Just four characters of the Greek Alphabet (according to Laconian..) and “no, in general, it's good”. These four letters give a huge amount of information about what this WATER is..
Y: Upsilon. Schematic representation of a funnel, he states directly and clearly his way of thinking
of water.
D: Delta. The letter means Strength. Water is indeed powerful and even destructive. With the
this symbol indicates the mode of protection and utility (after you have collected it)
D is the dam shape, flattened at the base and pointed at the top to
the construction withstands the pressure on the base. It is a pyramidal structure that the ancients
Egyptians and Greeks built to preserve their knowledge from the flood.
Oh: Omega. Schematic representation of Gaia- land (cycle) to ..”swims” on the curve ~ line
of the waters,indicating the importance of water as the basis of the earth. Also as a last resort
letter of the alphabet indicates the END of each organism if it is lacking.
R Rrrrr. The “audible” symbol of flow, Continuous flow letter sound indicates that it is liquid,
fluid, it makes a rrrrr sound as it moves and indicates physical condition and texture.
You will find more in this video where I analyze the subject:

Dear friends, all this in just four letters. This is..Sophia. This is Greek Alphabet. We have inherited this directly from our Ancestors, the Holy Greeks, whose Name and extra gene we proudly bear.
So I ask you and please your opinion:
Is it ever possible, to borrow foreign symbols, from a foreign culture that no longer exists, in order to express the Sacred and Divine Language of the Greeks;
For those who want and can stand the most reliable ancient criteria and evidence, the subject CLEARS and SHINES in this video here, without any more DOUBT being born.
