Christmas in July, or Caesar's Month of Yule?
The Norse gods were not originally astrotheological, but they were mapped onto Ptolemaic planetary counterparts after coming under the influence of Christianity. In the seven day Ptolemaic week, each day is named after one of the visible heavenly bodies - Sunday Sun, Monday Moon, Tuesday Mars, Wednesday Mercury, Thursday Jupiter, Friday Venus, and Saturday Saturn. The words don’t bear much resemblance to Latin in English because we get our words from Norse. But in French (and other Romance languages), the days clearly possess the Latin names of the Greek gods: Mardi Mars, Mercredi Mercury, Juedi Jove, Vendredi Venus, and Samedi Saturn.
The seven day week was invented in Babylon around 700 BCE, based on the Umma calendar of Sumer from the 21st century BCE. In the Babylonian cycle, the seventh day was a day of rest, and the 28th day or full moon was an official “Shabbat” or day of rest. Babylonians also practiced astrotheology (associating planets with gods), a practice that was adopted by the Ptolemies (wikipedia).
But the Sumerian and Babylonian planets were not associated with the supreme gods, unlike the Ptolemaic planets. For example, the Babylonians associated the planet Jupiter with Marduk, not with Enki who became Ea and thus the namesake of Zeus, YHWH, and Jupiter. Associating the furthest (slowest) planets Saturn and Jupiter with the father of the gods and the king of the gods, respectively, was a Ptolemaic innovation that was adopted by the Roman Empire.
Importantly, the Norse names for the weekdays garbled the Ptolemaic astrotheology. Instead of naming Saturday after Saturn the ruler of the heavens and father of the gods), they called it the day for taking a bath (literally “hot water day”). They placed their supreme god (Odin) on Wednesday, thus associating Odin with Mercury, while leaving Friday for the supreme goddess Freya, Thursday for Odin’s son Thor, Tuesday for the war god Tyr, and Sunday and Monday for the sun and moon.
Due to this shuffle, Thor is rightly associated with Jupiter, but his father Odin is also called Jupiter in the form of Jolfadr - the Yulefather. In Greco Roman mythology, the Supreme God (Cronos/Saturn) is overthrown by his son (Zeus/Jupiter). This echoes the Sumerian relationship between Enlil and Enki, who became the Akkadian gods El and Ea, who became the Israelite Elohim and YHWH. The phonetic name of EA can be traced through the divine Greek syllable (IE and IA) and the Israeli YHWH (YA) to the divine Latin syllable (IU/JU) all the way to the Norse name for the winter solstice (YULE). The name Zeus is also cognate with this divine syllable. It means, approximately, Sky.
Historically speaking, Babylon was conquered by the Persian Empire which was in turn conquered by Alexander the Great. It is Alexander’s offshoot, the Ptolemies who invented the seven day week based on the Babylonian precedent. These are the very same people who invented the Jewish Bible around 250 BCE. Supposedly the Jews adopted the Babylonian week during the Babylonian captivity, but if the Ptolemies invented the Jewish Bible, then their knowledge of Babylonian praxis was simply inserted into the false history of the Jews. The Jewish weekdays dropped the names of the planets, since YHWH tolerates no other gods, and so the days were designated with numbers instead. The seventh day was called Sabbath or Shabbat.
To the Ptolemies, the seventh day was dedicated to Cronos, “the ruler”. In Latin, this became Saturn. But most Romance languages do not call the seventh day after the planet Saturn; they call it the Jewish day of rest, Sabbath. This is surely what the Norse were signalling when they called Saturday “Hot Water Day” instead of “Seventh Day” or “Odin’s Day” - because it was a day of recuperation. In modern Greek, as in Hebrew, the planets/gods are absent: Saturday is called Sabbath while Sunday is called Lord’s Day instead of Sun’s Day, and Monday through Friday are called “second” through “sixth”. In Hebrew, Sunday through Friday are “first” through “sixth” with Sabbath the seventh (Saturday). We can see that the modern Greek and Hebrew systems are identical except the first day in Greek is named for “the Lord”.
The seven day week initially spread throughout the Roman empire between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE, with pagan planet/day names, in the Greek language, no doubt. Most Latin scriptures can only be traced back to the 4th century CE, as civil war led to the establishment of Christianity as a rival religion to Rome. We would expect Christianization to coincide with the iconoclastic practice of renaming the Roman weekdays after numbers. On ThoughtCo, N.S. Gill writes “In general, the seven-day week was not widely used until the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (306–337 CE) introduced the seven-day week into the Julian calendar. The early Christian church leaders were appalled at the use of pagan gods for names and did their best to replace them with numbers, but with no long-lasting success.”
Rome had conquered England in 61 AD and established the province of Britannia. According to Christian legend, Joseph of Arimathea went there only two years later to spread the faith. This is a veiled reference, hopefully fictional, to the Jewish historian Josephus. But we know the earliest public record of Christianity is ~130 CE. Christian conquest of western and northern Europe actually began in the 4th century after it became the official religion of the eastern empire. Yet Rome was forced to retreat from Britain in 410 CE, while the Christian parasite began to thrive.
Judeo Christianity marks the end of ancient history around the world because it actively replaces history with forgery. We should assume the Christians treated Europe no better than they treated South America centuries later. Anyone who wasn’t Catholic was a heretic or a savage and a barbarian too. Julius Caesar didn’t destroy the Roman Republic - that is an anachronistic myth. What actually happened is that Christianity destroyed the Roman Empire.
How can we be sure that most Latin history is a hoax? Because Julius Caesar, offspring of Jupiter, was born in the month supposedly renamed after him: July. But July is the same word as Yule, and it should be a winter holiday, not a summer holiday. It seems the myth of Julius Caesar is plagiarized from the gospels of Jesus Christ. We can prove this because, like Christ, Julius was supposedly born during the time of Yule (winter solstice). But Christ’s birth was not associated with the winter solstice until the 4th century CE. Therefore Julius Caesar was invented after the 4th century CE.
Neither Julius nor Yule have an admitted etymology, but as I have written, Ju- is a transliteration of the Greek divine syllable Ie- and Hebrew Yh-. As I wrote yesterday:
The supreme Norse god Odin was also called “Jolfadr” or Yule Father. We can thus see that Jolfadr and Jupiter (Ju Father) are in fact the exact same word, and closely related to Jehovah (Jew Mother). The old English Anglian cognate of Yule, “giuli”, corresponded to the midwinter feasting season, modern December and January. Therefore it seems the Latin hoaxters tried to claim that Julius Caesar was born in the season of Yule or Giuli, and then claimed it was named after him.
I conclude that the Christianization of Europe did not begin in the first century, and it was primarily begun in the fourth century. After the eastern Empire officially became a Christian state, the Latin language was newly purposed in the west, and an entire false mythology of the “western” Republic was created to defend against the new Christian state in Constantinople. Although Christianity derives from Judaism, Judaism was originally invented by the Ptolemies right along with the seven day week, and the biblical Semites are some kind of horrible myth.
Regarding the Norse exemplar, they were first subject to a secular Rome who introduced the seven day week complete with Roman pagan gods, leading the Norse to adapt the day names to align with their own gods. But the Norse also use a synonym for Sabbath to refer to Saturday. And they call Odin “Julefather”, which after all is Jupiter, the king of the Latin gods.
All European cultures with the weekdays named after numbers instead of planets show the domination of Christian iconoclasm. Like the Jews, who scrubbed the names of the planets from the weekdays, the Christians sought to erase the names of the old gods wherever they found them. In fact the Christians were following the example of the Jews in the Bible and that is exactly what made them such horrible human beings.
I must do more research into the Julian calendar to understand exactly when Julius Caesar was invented. But it still leaves the questions of how and why. Why create a pagan doppelganger of Jesus Christ? How did he end up with his birth month at the beginning of summer instead of the beginning of winter? And why did Latin culture end up incorporating both of these characters, exactly 100 years apart on their false timeline? It seems that they once intended to replace Christ with Caesar.
I hope everyone has a cozy Yule. The truth is out there.
