Kings and Queens of England

David Hume, The History of England

The religion of the Britons was one of the most considerable parts of their government; and the druids, who were their priests, possessed great authority among them. Besides ministering at the altar, and directing all religious duties, they presided over the education of youth; they enjoyed an immunity from wars and taxes; they possessed both the civil and criminal jurisdiction; they decided all controversies among states as well as among private persons, and whoever refused to submit to their decree was exposed to the most severe penalties. The sentence of excommunication was pronounced against him:

Mycenaean transition to Carthage

Hyksos first appeared in Egypt c.1800 BC  Hyksos brought several technical improvements to Egypt. In or about (1525BC) Amose I  (Moses) or his predisessor Amenhotep I, is the represent the origin of the exodus of these people from Egypt  these are the true fore runners of the Carthaginians and I will say the dominant culture that is what we are today, they are the result of the Jews, and the Greeks its is not the Babylonian culture as you say that is the forerunner of our culture.

I have received, with others of a similar character, the inclosed [sic] sheet, having a paragraph underlined to secure my attention, and I send it to you to attract your notice. Under the head of “Summary” is a concentrated distillation of malice and mendacity.

The Derveni papyrus,

The Derveni papyrus, containing a treatise by a follower of Anaxagoras probably written in the 420s B.C.E., is the most important new piece of evidence about Greek philosophy and religion to come to light since the Renaissance.

This is the first book-length study of this text since 1997, when its crucial opening columns, plus an updated translation of the whole, were published.
