THE KEY TO LOCATE OPHIR’
• I GOT THE SOLUTION WHILE SITTING
ON A STONE IN A GRAN CANARIA
BEACH, READING ROBERTA
LEVRERO’S BOOK ON ANCIENT
GEOGRAPHY OF AFRICA
• I RECALLED THE AKKADIAN WORD
AFAR FROM SEMERANO’S BOOK ON
APEIRON

OPHIR MEANS…..
• AFAR MEANS IN AKKADIAN AND
BASICALLY IN PRESENT SEMITIC
LANGUAGES: DUST, SAND…
• THUS WE CAN SEE, AS ITALIA=
AITHALIA= SMOKING LAND, FROM
GREEK, SEE VINCI, THAT AFRICA =
LAND OF SAND, JUSTIFIED FROM
SAHARA AND THE SANDY WINDS

LAND NORTH OF HIMALAYA

• KAILAS IS THE THRONE OF SHIVA, SITTING
ON ITS SUMMIT WITH PARVATI. DOES NOT
SHIVA NEED A A GOLDEN THRONE?

THARASA = ARANY = GOLD…
• THARSIS POSSIBLY FROM KHANTY WORD
(RELATED TO MAGYAR) THARASA = GOLD
• PROF ALINEI CLAIMS ETRUSCAN TO BE
OLD MAGYAR. ARANY = GOLD IN MAGYAR,
MAGY = NAGY = GREAT IN MAGYAR, HENCE
MAGYAR = GREAT IN WORKING GOLD
• ETRUSCANS = TURSENOI = THOSE CLEVER
IN GOLD, FROM THARASA, AND GREEK NOI,
MEANING WISE, CAPABLE
22
FROM THARSIS TO TUSCANY
• ASSYRIANS DESTROYED THARSIS LATER
REBUILT AS TAXILA, SANSKRIT: WHERE
PRECIOUS THINGS ARE MADE
• ETRUSCANS FLED TO TARSUS, TURSA IN
EAST MEDITERRANEAN. WHEN ASSYRIANS
ARRIVED THERE, THEY FLED TO TUSCANY

THINGS, KNEW METALS, ASTRONOMY,
MAGIC, TRAVELS, FROM ORIGINAL LAND
