THE NAME LABYRINTH or LABURINTHOS


In this paper, I want to explore the linguistic source of the term LABYRINTH.  In my studies, I have found that the term LABYRINTH is one of the ancient "ONE WORD STORY TELLING"   words based on Turkish language expressions embedded in the structure of the term. Mythologically, we have the following story from url at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth#Ancient_labyrinths:

The Labyrinth (Greek λαβύρινθος labyrinthos)
 "In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth (Greek λαβύρινθος labyrinthos) was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, a creature that was half man and half bull and was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus. Daedalus had made the Labyrinth so cunningly that he himself could barely escape it after he built it.[1]Theseus was aided by Ariadne, who provided him with a fateful thread, literally the "clew", or "clue", to wind his way back again.

The term labyrinth is often used interchangeably with maze, but modern scholars of the subject use a stricter definition. For them, a maze is a tour puzzle in the form of a complex branching passage with choices of path and direction; while a single-path (unicursal) labyrinth has only a single Eulerian path to the center. A labyrinth has an unambiguous through-route to the center and back and is not designed to be difficult to navigate.

This unicursal design was widespread in artistic depictions of the Minotaur's Labyrinth, even though both logic and literary descriptions of it make it clear that the Minotaur was trapped in a multicursal maze".[2]"



The so-called mythologic story of LABYRINTH is a puzlle itself.  The word "labyrinth" is said to be from the Greek word LABURINTHOS.  Yet the source of the word LABURINTHOS is not sourced from the "Greek" language.  It is a an artificial word made up by way of anagrammatizing a Turkish expression.  Actually, it has multible meanings in Turkish which have been anagrammatized from the Turkish language of the ancient Turanian peoples, so-called Minoans and Pelasgians, of the Mediterraanean Sea area. The word "labyrinth" is associated with the ancient Minoan culture.  In this writing I examine the source of this word as follows: 

a)    LABURINTHOS, rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as "TOLANBUSH-IR", is the anagrammatized and Hellenized form of the Turkish expression"DOLANBAŞ YIR" (DOLANBAÇ YER) meaning "it is a place of labyrinthus", that is, "it is a place of winding roads".  This is what a so-called"labyrinth" is.  A city is such a place.  This shows that the source of this so-called "Greek" word was, in fact, in Turkish.  Additionally, it can be taken as "a winding place in the head city".  KNOSSOS was the head city in ancient Minoan Crete.

This perfect Turkish correspondence to the "Greek" word  LABURINTHOS shows, without doubt, that like many Greek language words, the mythological word LABURINTHOS  has also been manufactured from stolen Turkish expressions.  

Turkish word YER means "place" and DOLAMBAÇ (DOLANBAŞ) means "a maze, a labyrinth", [Redhouse Turkish -English Dictionary, 1987, p. 308].  

Below is a pictorial example of a mythological labyrinth in which a man is shown.  Later in this essaay we will find that the "man" in the Labyrinth is a personification of an organ related to man himself.


 




b)    Turkish word  DOLANBAŞ (DOLANBAÇ), in one sense, seems to be made up with two Turkish words, that is,  DOLAN and BAŞ.  DOLAN means "to wind round a thing;  to surround, encircle;  to go round a circle, to revolve; to wander around", Redhouse Turkish -English Dictionary, 1987, p. 308].  These are the actions of someone who is lost in a maze (labyrinth).  The term BAŞ means "head".  This implies that the "labyrinth" may also be something to do with the human "head". This I verify as follows: 

LABURINTHOS, rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as "AL-US-BINTHR-O", is the anagrammatized and Hellenized form of the Turkish expression"AL US BEYINDIR O"  meaning "it is the red-wise-brain".  This indicates that the so-called "labyrinth" of the ancient times also referred to the human brain in the head.  The human brain is indeed the most natural and complicated "labyrinth" ever designed by nature.  Now we understand that the man shown in the above "labyrinth" is the personification of the living brain that processes information, thinks, philosophizes, compares and makes conclusions, generates instant commands, speaks and does endless other things that represent the man himself. That living "invisible man" resides and wanders about in the most complex labyrinth of the human brain. That "man" shown in the "labyrinth" above is the "invisible living being" himself/herself/itself that wanders around in the brain and makes man as "man" and other beings as their "own self".  Thus, that "invisible living being" in the brain makes man as "man" and a cat as "cat". 


Turkish word AL menas "red", US means "wisdom, knowledge", BEYIN  means "brain" BEYINDIR  means "it is the brain", O means "he/she/it; that". 


In ancient Turanian religion, the human head (brain) with the knowledge and wisdom, both self created and learned from nature and accumulated in it, was regarded as "god" on earth, and was parallel to the Sun-GOD and the Sky-God.  The Sky God and the Human Head (TEPE) were both regarded as creators. On earth, everything made by men is the creation of human knowledge (BILGI)  accumulated in the head of men.  Most religious temples are made in the form of "HILLS", "MOUNTAIN TOPS" which represents the human-head expressed with the Turkish word TEPE (BAŞ) meaning "hill; head" 

We must also recall here the famed Turkish name of BILGAMESH  meaning "he who has become knowledged", which was the name of a hero of the Sumerian epic story BILGAMESH  (GILGAMESH). This Turanian epic story was stolen by the Babylonians under the concocted name of "GILGAMESH". BILGAMESH  was regarded as two-thirds divine and one third being mortal.  BILGAMESH  (GILGAMESH) was a personification of knowledge (TürkishBILGI) and wisdom (Turkish US).  So the source of all these was the Turkish language.  

The picture below shows a human brain which is indeed a labyrinth. This picture of human brain confirms without doubt the accuracy of my decipherment of the word LABURINTHOS.

 



Human brain as a natural "labyrinth". 
 



c)    LABURINTHOS representing the human brain in one sense, is also verified by the following decipherment:

LABURINTHOS, rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as "ULO-BASHINTR", is a form of the Turkish expression "ULU BAŞINTIR" meaning "it is your great head".  Again this verifies that the ancients meant the human brain by the term "labyrinth".  

The winding curves and folded wrinkles of the brain make up the "labyrinth" ("dolambaç yer" in Turkish) and as seen in the above example picture, the brain is "reddish" in color and therefore is "AL". 


d)    The word LABURINTHOS, in one meaning being the human head, that is, the human brain, also has connection with the God concept.  This is evidenced in the following decipherment of the word LABURINTHOS.

LABURINTHOS, rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as "O-TANRU-BILSH", is an anagrammatized and Hellenized form of the Turkish expression "O TANRU BILIŞ" meaning "God is knowing" (God is knowledge).


Thus, this Turkish expression, embedded in the term LABURINTHOS, relates "knowledge" and "God" concepts to each other. Indeed, both of these concepts are very labyrinthine.  We all know that the process of learning and knowing something is indeed a very "labyrinthine road" in which many of us get lost in.  Of course when we learn and undestand things we also get to be enlightened. Thus, our "head" provides that enlightenment for us, acting like the "sun" that lightens up things around it. While this is the fact, some unscrupulous minds have taken advantage of this very ancient Turanian "knowledge-is-God" concept, that is, "human-head-is-God concept" and have misled people and exploited them by offering bogus and riddled explanations.


Additionally, LABURINTHOS, rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as "O-BILSH-TANRU", is a form of the Turkish expression "O BILIŞ TANRU"
meaning "that knowing is God" (knowledge is God).   

These definitions in Turkish equate the "God concept" with the "knowledge" concept.


e)    In another form, LABURINTHOS, being the representation of the human head, rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as:

e1)     "O-BIL-HAN-USTR", is an Hellenized form of the Turkish expression "O BIL HAN USTUR" meaning "that knowledge lord  is wisdom" Thus, "wisdom"  (Turkish US, AKIL, BILGI and therefore OKUL) becomes the "ruling god", that is, TANRI. This is a fact because most of the time, it is those with knowledge that rise up and rule others - particularly those who speak well with wisdom.  

e2)    "O-BIL HN-AUSTR"
, is an Hellenized form of the Turkish expression "O BIL HAN AUZTUR" ("O BIL HAN AGUZTUR") meaning "that knowledge Lord is the mouth".  Thus, the brain, the knowledge generated in the brain, and the mouth that converts that knowledge into "words" (SÖZ) are again one and the same because all of these exist and take place in the human head, that is, Turkish TEPE and/or BAŞ.   Thus, TEPE (BAŞ) is "GOD".  That is why, the ancients have associated TANRI (i.e., God) with the mountain tops, the pyramids, the ziggurats, the mosques, the stupas, the capitol domed buildings, etc.  All of these structures secretly symbolize and revere the human head.

e3)    "BIL HAN-OUSTR", is an Hellenized form of the Turkish expression "BIL HAN OUSTUR" (BIL HAN OGUZTUR) meaning "knowledge lord  is OGUZ" 

Here OGUZ, viewed as O-GUZ, has several relevant meanings as follows: 

e3a)  "O-GÖZ"
 meaning "that EYE" which refers to the human EYE that sees and brings in all visible information to the brain where it is processed".  Without eyes, it would be extremely difficult to gather knowledge about things.  This gathering of knowledge through the eyes is possible because of the illuminating effect of sunlight.  The Turkish speaking ancient Turanians believed that the human eye was a gift to humanity from  "God", that is, the Sky-Father-God with his all-illuminating and all-seeing eye - the Sun.   This thinking relates the Sun and the human Eye to each other with the Turkish word GÖZ.  Ancient Turks called the Sun and the Moon by the term GÖZ as well.

e3b) "O-KÖZ" 
meaning "that FIRE", and "O-GÖZ" meaning "that EYE" both referring to the SUN which makes information gathering possible for our eyes.  Witout the SUN there is no light, and hence, no visibility - and no life.  Without the sun, it would be so dark and cold (way below zero degrees C) that there would be no human beings around to invent the concept of GOD anyway.   So, the heat and light energy generated in the sun is the source for life creation on earth.  

Thus, the creator god in our sky is the SUN, that is, GÜN (GÜNEŞ) in Turkish, which is the source of all the energy that is needed for life to exist on earth(GAIA, KAYA, YER in Turkish).  But in ancient Turanian religious understanding, the SUN was the "seeing eye of the universal Sky-Father-God", that is, in Turkish "GÜNEŞ GÖK-ATA-TANRININ GÖREN GÖZÜ" and the MOON was the "unseeing eye of the universal Sky-Father-God", as it has no light of its own, that is, in Turkish "AY GÖK-ATA-TANRININ GÖRMEYEN GÖZÜ" (KÖR GÖZÜ).  


We must note that Turkish  "O KÖZ" and "O GÖZ" referring to the SUN and the EYE  (GÖZ) of man - form the name "OGUZ" which is also the national name of the Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples.  It is also the name of the legendary Turkish ancestor OGUZ KAGAN  from which the following meanings are derived: 

OGUZ KAGAN  => "OGUZ AKA GÜN" ("OGUZ AGA GÜN" or "OGUZ  GÜN-HAN" 
meaning "OGUZ the Lord Sun", 

OGUZ KAGAN  =>  "OGUZ AGA AN" 
("OGUZ AGA GÖK" or"OGUZ GÖK HAN" meaning "OGUZ the Sky Lord" and 

OGUZ KAGAN  => "OGUZ AGA HAN" ("OGUZ ULU HAN" ) meaning "OGUZ the Great Lord".


In this understanding of the Sun-God, with the sun's golden rays, provide warmth and illumination to the earth.  These rays also provide to people - the opportunity to see things and acquire knowledge and thus "enlightenment". 

These qualities of the sun are termed in Turkish as":

ISI meaning "heat",
ISITMA meaning "heating",
ISITAN meaning "that which heats"

IŞI
 meaning "light", 
IŞITMA
 meaning "illuminating" and 
IŞITAN meaning "that which illuminates" and "that which enlightens".

Here it is also important to note that there is also other Turkish words similar to these.  The Turkish word   IŞITME means "hearing" and IŞITEN meaning"that which hears" which is the "head". With this, we again come back to the human head which is likened to  the sun in sky.  Linguistically,  ISITAN ("that which heats") and IŞITAN ("that which illuminates") and IŞITEN ("that which hears")  are very related and close structured words.  


In ancient Turanian civilization,  sun was also described as "AL BA
Ş" meaning the "red head". The followers of these ancient Turanian religious concepts were also known as "AL BAŞ" (KIZILBAŞ). meaning "red head" or "golden head".  For that reason, these ancient Turanians either wore "red colors" to their heads or colored their face in "red" to make them appear as ""AL BAŞ".  All of these very ancient cultures live even in the present day Turkish folk culture.  Turkish women wear "golden" ornaments and also "red" (al-vala silken head ties) to indicate their  ancient culture.  Turkish religious group"ALEVI" is a continuation of this very ancient Turanian culture. North and South American Native Peoples are also called "Red face" because they colored their face red in ancient times.  Ancient Masarians also colored their face to red.  Similarly, the ancient Phoenicians (so called "Canaanites" which is from Turkish "GünHans" meaning "Sun Lords"  were known as "red people".  They were Turanian Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples contrary wrong claims of classifying them as "Semitic".  


The Turkish terms ISITAN and IŞITAN and even IŞITEN have been combined with the term ÜSTHAN, meaning "the highest Lord", into the Turkish termISTAN to describe The Sky-God and the Sun-God concepts and also the "Human Head" by the ancient  Sky-God, Sun-God and Moon-God believing Turanians. This is why the Turkish term "ISTAN" has the meaning "God".  These are all in accordance with the ancient Turkish understanding of the Turanian Sky-God, Sun God and Moon God trinity concept and the "Human Being".   The name Turkistan has the "Istan" suffix.  Even the present Turkistan states have the "ISTAN" suffix at the end of their country names - indicating their Sun, Moon and Gök Tengri believing ancient past.  Thus the source of ISTAN is Turkish and not Persian as is mistakenly thought to be.

At this point, the reader should note the following fact:  In the language of ancient MASAR (MISIR), that is, the incorrectly-called "EGYPT", the name of the God of Light was called SHU, ( H6G43 A40  ), that is, a personification of the sunlight,  [see E. A. Wallis Budge, "The Egyptian Book of the Dead', p, cxi, and E. A. Wallis Budge, "The Gods of the Egyptians, Vol. 2,  p. 85, 87, 89, 90 ].  The reader should be able to recognize that this ancient word "SHU" is nothing but the Turkish word "IŞU (IŞI)" meaning "light". The Egyptologists, in reading the "Egyptian" hieroglyphic writings, have somehow read this name as "SHU"rather than "IŞU" (most likely to distance it from Turkish). Mythologically,  SHU was the son of sun-god Ra.  Ofcourse, "light" is the outcome of the sun. Therefore SHU, that is, ISHU, can be regarded as the SON of Ra. This also indicates that the language of ancient MASAR was Turkish contrary to all historical and linguistic misrepresentations. 


It must also be noted here that the English word SUN is an anagrammatized form of Turkish word GÜN (KÜN) meaning "sun".

In the above analysis of LABURINTHOS under item e1), e2) and e3), we found embedded in the LABURINTHOS the Turkish expressions:

-    "O BIL HAN USTUR" meaning "that knowledge lord  is wisdom".      

-   "O BIL HAN AUZTUR" ("O BIL HAN AGUZTUR") meaning "that knowledge Lord is the mouth".

-   
"BIL HAN OUSTUR" (BIL HAN OGUZTUR) meaning "knowledge lord  is OGUZ". 


While the word LABURINTHOS, rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as "O-US-AL-BINTHR", is an anagrammatized form of the Turkish expression "O US AL BEYINDIR" meaning "it is the wise red-brain".  Thus, the Greek term LABURINTHOS is a personification of the "brain" 

Additionally,  this Turkish expression "O US AL BEYINDIR" also means "that wisdom is your lord", that is, "that wisdom is your god".  Everyone's life, men and animals included, they are all governed and guided by the accumulated knowledge and wisdom in their brain.  Brain controls everything in life.  That is why "the Head" (Tepe) is the "Ruler". 

Thus, from all this, we find that Turkish BEYIN, US, GOZ and AGUZ are very much parts and parcels of the same extraordinary creation called "head". They are all contained in one fantastic "city" called "head", that is, Turkish "TEPE" (tepe köy) or "BAŞ" (baß köy, baß kent)).

Thus, the brain, its accumulated knowledge acquired from the outside world and generated byits own thinking, and the mouth that converts the knowledge into"words" are one and the same - becausde they all take place in the human head, that is, Turkish TEPE and/or BAŞ.  One of the chief cities of ancient Masar (Egypt) was called "THEBES".  Similarly, one of the ancient city in the ancient country so-called "Grece' was also called the "seven-gated THEBES". 


Indeed a person's accumulated knowledge and wisdom is the 'lord' of that person as he/she/it uses that knowledge and wisdom in every decision made.  And the consequences of those decisions and actions constitute the fate of that person.  Thus whatever decision-action one makes, it creates the "fate" (Tr. KADER) of that person. Decision making "man" always serves to his own fate!

In ancient Turanian religion, the human head, with the accumulated knowledge and wisdom (self created as well as learned from nature), was regarded as parallel to the Sky-GOD".  In other words, they believed that, as is said in later religions also, "God had created man in his own image".  Actually, it must have been the other way around.  The Turanians, using their wisdom and knowledge, must have formulated the "GOD" concept first.  They must have imagined "GOD" being in the same form as "man" himself  because the Turanians saw the sky as a Sky-Face (Tr. Gok yüzü) and they saw the Sun and Moon as the eyes of the Sky-God.  Then, the Turanians turned the concept around and defined GOD as creating MAN in his own image".  In this imaginary context, the Sky God and the Human Head were regarded as parallel creators.  But it must also be remembered that everything made on earth by man was the brainchild of man.  Thus man and his head are creators also.  On the other hand, while "MAN" is a creator himself, but "man", like all other animals, is also the creation of "NATURE" that SUN has created as its own envirenment around itself,   Curiously, the term NATURE, rearranged as "TANRE-U" , is from the Turkish word "TANRI O"meaning "it is god".  Furthermore NATURE is also called as "MOTHER".  And again, the term NATURE, rearranged as "ANTER-U", is from the Turkish word "ANTIR O" meaning "it is sky". and "ANATIR O" meaning "it is mother".  Thus "God" concept has a duality.  It is both mother and father.  Additionally, it is sky, sun and all other beings.  


In the analysis of the word LABURINTHOS,  we find the name "OGUZ" representing a trinity of the Sun-God, Moon God and Sky-God as per the religious thinkings of the ancient TUR/TÜRK/OGUZ peoples.  OGUZ is also one of the ethnic names of Tur/Türk/Oguz peoples.  

In the ancient Turkish OGUZ KAGAN Epik, Oguz Kagan had six sons named GÜNHAN (SunLord), AYHAN (Moon Lord), GÖKHAN (Sky Lord),DAGHAN (The mountain Lord), DENIZHAN (Sea Lord) and YILDIZHAN (Star Lord).  Some of the names that I deciphered from the wordLABURINTHOS above are these names.  


The word LABURINTHOS is like the Greek word OLUMPOS (in English OLYMPUS) used as the name of the "Mount Olumpus" where the "Greek" godZEUS and his family supposedly lived. In my paper about ZEUS, I had identified the name  OLUMPOS as representing the human head, that is, an anagrammatized form of the Turkish expression "ULU BAŞUM" meaning "my great head".  The Turkish words for "head" are "BAŞ" and "TEPE". TEPEalso means "hill, mountain top, mountain".  Human head is also a "hill" sitting on the sholders of man.  See my paper on ZEUS, http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Polat_Kaya/message/266


At this point I must also point out that the English word LABYRINTH  rearranged as  "AL-BYINTHR", is also an anagrammatized and Anglicised form of the Turkish expression  "AL BEYINDIR" meaning "it is the red brain" 

Interestingly, the English word "BRAIN" is also an anagrammatized form of a Turkish expression.  This we see when the word BRAIN is rearranged as "R-BAIN".  Now we see that it is the anagrammatized and Anglicised Turkish expression "ER BEYIN" meaning "man's brain"

With these new and revealing insights defining the identity of "labyrinth" and the mythological background information, let us now understand the identity of some of the other mythological characters dictated to us as "Greek" names and related to the term "labyrinth". All of the mythological characters are also puzzles to be solved.  Now let us revisit the citing from the reference writing of the Wikipedia below with our newly acquired enlightenment: 

From  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth#Ancient_labyrinths:


"In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth  (Greek λαβύρινθος labyrinthos) was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, a creature that was half man and half bull   and was eventually killed by theAthenian hero Theseus Daedalus  had made the Labyrinth so cunningly that he himself could barely escape it after he built it.[1] Theseus was aided byAriadne, who provided him with a fateful thread, literally the "clew", or "clue", to wind his way back again." 


The mythological story above tells us that someone called DAEDALUS built the "labyrinth" and he was an architect, that is, a master builder who built theKNOSSOS palace and its labyrinthos for king MINOS of Creete.  (See above citing from Wikipedia).


The name DAEDALUS, rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as "USDA-ELDA", is the anagrammatized and Hellenized form of the Turkish expression"USTA ELDI"(USTA EL IDI) meaning "it was the master hand", that is, the hand of a very skillful person.  Building a complex labyrinth such as the human brain (as well as the labyrinth of Knossos) requires the master hand of a very skillful person or being.

First of all this Turkish definition "USTA EL" describes any master architect, engineer, builder, etc., who has the knowledge and skills to design and build structures. Such persons have very skilfull, that is, masterful hands that can build most intricate arrangements such as cities, palaces, mazes, trains, ,plains, etc..  So the name DAEDALUS - which is a Hellenized form of the Turkish expression "USTA ELDI" - is really a personification of the skilful, masterminds of human beings. Thus, most likely, there was no one special person by the name of DAEDALUS.  More than likely, many skilful master hands (USTA EL)worked together to build the city of KNOSSOS and its labyrinth.  With this decipherment, we now know the real identity of the mythological nameDAEDALUS, thanks to the Turkish source texts embedded in these stolen Turkish expressions. 


The head city of the Minoans was named in Latin GNOSUS and in Greek KNOSSOS. Cretans, that is, the Minioans, were also called by the Latin nameGNOSIUS and GNOSIACUS meaning "Gnosian".  Also the name GNOSIA or GNOSIAE meant ARIADNE, that is, the name of the daughter of King Minos, [Cassell's Compact Latin-English English-Latin dictionary, 1962, p. 110].  In Turkish world, the name GÜNASYA would be the name of a girl as there are countless number of girls with the name ASYA (ASIA). 


The name GNOSIAN, in the form "GON-SI-AN", is the Turkish word "GÖN-CI-AN" that is, "GÜNCILER" meaning "those who worship the sun". In this decipherment Turkish word GÜN means "sun" -CI is a suffix that means "follower of a profession; follower of a belief" and  AN means "sky; time; the ancient  plurality suffix of Turkish corresponding the present plurality suffix of -ler, -lar" 

The Latin name GNOSIACUS, in the form of 
"GUNASSCI-O" is the Turkish expression "GÜNESCI O"  meaning "he is Sun worshiper"  which verifies the decipherment of the word GNOSIAN above.  This also identifies the ancient Minoans as the sun worshiping Turanian peoples. 

Alternatively, the Latin name GNOSIACUS, in the form of 
"GUN-AOSSCI" is the Turkish expression "GÜN AUZCI" (GÜN AGUZCI, GÜN DILCI)meaning "Sun language speaker".  This identifies the language of the ancient Minoans as "SUN LANGUAGE" which is Turkish by definition.

Additionally, the Latin word GNOSIUS, in the form of 
"SOSI-GUN" is the Turkish expression "SÖZI GÜN" (DILI GÜN) meaning "His language is Sun", that is, "he speaks sun language".  This verifies the above decipherment and also identifies the Minoans as the "Sun Language speaking Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples" contrary to all misinformation claims that they were Greeks or Aryans.

GNOSUS  (KNOSSOS) is the altered form of the Turkish word GÜNEŞ  (GÜN-IŞI) meaning "sun and sunlight". Thus, KNOSSOS was the "Sun-city"but in Turkish.  This was so because its founders were the Turkish speaking Turanian Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples.



"
From  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theseus gives the following:

"Theseus (Greek: Θησεύς) was a legendary king of Athens, son of Aethra, and fathered by Aegeus and Poseidon, with whom Aethra lay in one night. Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus or Heracles, all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order.[1] As Heracles was the Dorian hero, Theseus was the Ionian founding hero, considered by Athenians as their own great reformer. His name comes from the same root as θεσμός ("thesmos"), Greek for institution. He was responsible for the synoikismos ("dwelling together")—the political unification of Attica under Athens, represented in his journey of labours. Because he was the unifying king, Theseus built and occupied a palace on the fortress of the Acropolis that may have been similar to the palace excavated in Mycenae. Pausanias reports that after the synoikismos, Theseus established a cult of Aphrodite Pandemos ("Aphrodite of all the People") and Peitho on the southern slope of the Acropolis."




The so called Athenian hero THESEUS, the son of Aegeas, was mythological fabricated name like the nemes PERSEUS, CADMUS and HERACLES.  Of course, some ancient people might have used these words as names for themselves. However these names are personification of certain concepts that relate to men at large. 

Name PERSEUS , rearrangaed as "PARSE-US", is from Turkish word "PARACI US" meaning the "wisdom of dealing with money".  Thus it is the personification of "money" PARA means "money" and  PARACI means "he who deals with money", "the usurer", that is,  "tefeci" in Turkish; 


CADMUS personifies "learning" through "schooling" which is from Turkish word OKUMUŞ meaning "he who has gone to school", 'the learned one", "the trained one"; and 


HERACLES
 personifies the "mans's mind and wisdom", from Turkish expression "ER AKLI US" meaning "man's mind and wisdom" I have already discussed the identity of the mythological name "Heracles" in one paper of mine.  See http://www.polatkaya.net/Heracles_Part-1.html.



The so called Athenian hero name THESEUS, like the Greek name ZEUS from Turkish "SÖZ" meaning "word",  reannaged as "SEUSTHE" , is the anagrammatized form of the Turkish word "SÖZDÜ" meaning "it is word".  Alternatively, rearranged as "US-TEESH", is from Turkish "US DEYIŞ"  meaning "it is wise word"  (it is wise speech). This identification of  is correct because it is said that he was the son of AEGEAS.  It clearly noted that the nameAEGEAS is an altered form of the Turkish word "AGIZ" meaning "mouth".  Surely, THESEUS, the WORD, that is, the SÖZ in Turkish, is the son of the mouth.  There is no deniying of this fact!  So ancient Greeks anagrammatized Turkish words and sayings as they pleased and made mythological names for personifications.  Thus the source of these ancient "Hellenic" words is unquestionably Turkish.   

The Greeks by changing the Turkish words and phrases into some formats broken up from Turkish source linguistic material, they confused the Turkish language and the Turanian peoples.  This way, they underhandedly, just like the "Semites" did, changed the language and the names of the local native peoples with whom they interacted.  Thus, the deceptive "Greeks" with their "Spartan stealing culture" and the "Semites"with their similar "usury culture" (tefecilik) alienated the native Turanian peoples, who spoke one language, from each other.  Native local Turanian peoples were exploited, divided and conquered both from inside and also from outside. This way they destroyed that archaic religious and social order of Turanians. This is what the above reference is referring to but in a very secretive manner. In other words, they give part of the information and the rest is still missing, thus leaving the reader in darkness. 


In above reference citing, there is the so-called Greek word SYNOIKISMOS, meaning ("dwelling together").  SYNOIKISMOS, when rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as "KOYIMISSSON", is the anagrammatized form of the Turkish word "KOYÜMÜZSÜN" meaning "you are our village".  Of course, the place called "Our village" is a place where people dwell together.  Thus, it is clearly understood that there there has been an evil usurpation of the Turkish language and civilization by the Greeks.  And other so-called Aryan Europeans have been covering up this historical dishonesty and crime perpetrated against the ancient and present Turanian Turkish peoples and civilization. They have done this collaboration because they also used Turkish language to make up artificially all other so-called "Indo-European" and "Semitic" languages from Turkish. In this regard the whole world has been conned like children  by a handfull so-called "religious" people and their missionaries!

Thus, we see that these "Greek mythologies" are nothing but a form of cover up to what they stole from the Turks and Turkish civilization in ancient times.  


In the above given Wikipedia citing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theseus), the following statement is given:  

"Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus or Heracles, all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order."


It is very important to note here that the: "archaic religious and social order" referred to in this reference was the advanced civilization that the ancient TURANIAN TUR/TURK/OGUZ peoples gave to the world.  The Judeo-Christian religious establishment and their followers destroyed that magnificent social and religious Turanian order of the world - and built upon it, a Black-worshipping (SETI) and Wind worshipping order.  At the same time, they stole everything this ancient Turanian Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples civilization gave to the world by way of simply anagrammatizing the Turkish words and phrases into new formats which they then claimed as their own. This was an application of the ancient so-called "Spartan stealing culture".  This culture is still in effect and wordking as it was in ancient times. They stole the ancient Turanian language and civilization into a new format and called it as their own language and civilization.  Unfortunately the world public (including the Judeo-Christian public) does not know these facts and they have all been innocently conned by their religious and linguistic missionaries and politicians.  Thus the world has been put into a "disorder" rather than "order".  In this chaos, millions of innocent people have been killed for nothing because of the devious and greedy guidance of some power hungry persons!!!

ABOUT THE NAME MINOTAUR
 



Now let us understand the identity of the MINOTAUR. First we have its mythological definition from Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minotaur, given as:

"In Greek mythology, the Minotaur (Greek: Μῑνώταυρος, Mīnṓtauros) was a creature with the head of a bull on the body of a man[1] or, as described byOvid, "part man and part bull."[2] It dwelt at the center of the Cretan Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction[3] built for King Minos ofCrete and designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus who were ordered to build it to hold the Minotaur. The historical site of Knossos, with over 1300 maze like compartments[4] is identified as the site of the labyrinth. The Minotaur was eventually killed by Theseus, the son of Aegeas.

The term Minotaur derives from the Greek: Μῑνώταυρος (Mīnṓtauros), Etymologically it is a compound of the name Μίνως (Minos) and the noun ταύρος (tauros) "bull", thus it translated as "Bull of Minos". The bull was known in Crete as Asterion, a name shared with Minos's foster-father.[5]"



The Greek form of the name MINOTAUR  is given as MINWTAUROS, [Divry, p. 592].  According to mythology, MINOTAUR was a creature that was half man and half bull and was in the Labyrinth. The bogus letter W in the name MINWTAUROS is a replacement for two letters of U, that is, UU.  Thus, with this replacement, the name can be rewritten as MINUUTAUROS. A number of Turkish expressions that are relevant to the identity of the MINUUTAUROS are embedded in this rewritten name.  These we see as follows:


a)    MINUUTAUROS
, rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as  "MIN-UT-U-OUS-AR", is the anagrammatized and Hellenized form of the Turkish expression  "MEN UT U OGUZ ER" (MEN UT ve OGUZ ER) meaning "I am Bull and Oguz Man" 

In this decipherment letter U has the meaning of "and", that is, Turkish "VE".  U also had the meaning of "and" in Sumerian texts.  In this decipherment, Turkish words MEN (MIN) means "I, I am", UT (OKUZ) means "male cattle", that is, "bull" OGUZ has meanings as defined above and ER means "man". 


With this Turkish definition, MINWTAUROS is defined as "Bull and Oguz Man", that is, "half Turkish man and half bull".   The mythological definition of this name does state half man and half bull - hence, my decipherment of the "Greek" word MINWTAUROS is correct.  This also points out that the so-called Minoans were not Greek at all but rather Turkish speaking Turanians.  Thus identifying Minoan culture as Greek through mythology is a lie that has been fed to the public all this time.  As usual, Greek priests altered the ancient Turkish expressions to come up with the "Greek" words and the mythologies that are actually riddles covering and fuzzying up the ancient Turanian civilization.

(These are the representations of Oguz the Bull, that is, the Minotaure.)
 



However, this is only one Turkish meaning hidden in the structure of this word MINWTAUROS.   We must remember here that the ancient Turanian Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples were the owners of countless herds of cattle (Turkish: "ut, okus, SIGIR"), sheep (Tr. "koyun")  and horses Tr. "at") as they must have been the ones who first domesticated these animals in the vast steppes of Central Asia.  So, the names OGUZ and OKUZ and similarly, TUR and UT andUTU were homonyms and related to each other and also to the Sun, Moon and the Sky-God religious concept.  Below is a fine depiction of the Minoan Minotarus and the "laburinthos", (unfortunately in my final search, I could not find the url  address of this picture any more to give reference to its source.)

(In this picture, we see the Minoan Bull MINWTAUROS, that is, "OGUZ THE BULL MAN" shown
with the "Labyrinth" at the top", that is, the personification of the enlightening human "brain" in "tepe" the "head" 
At the top isalso pictured a  Minoan goddess holding two Minoan double-bladed, and each blade being as half-moon 
shaped (Turkish "Ay Balta" meaning "moon-axe"),  axes (the Minoan symbol of divine power).
Goddess also has a "conic tall-hat" which is Turkish "tepe" meaning "hill".  The name CONIC, when read as in Turkish, is 
the Turkish word "KONCI" (GÜNCÜ) meaning "the sun worshiper" which the Minoans were.  So were the all Turanian 
Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples of ancient Turan. Even in the present Turkistan Turkish states, the young girls still wear such conical hat as the 
continuation of their very ancient religious culture.  The Phoenicians, who were also contemporary with the Minoans, also worshiped Sun, Moon 
and the Sky-God concepts as their deities, [Sabatino Moscati, "The World Of The Phoenicians", 1973 edition, p.  76-77];  see  
"Coin of Macrinus", on p. 76]. The Phoenician conical, tall-hill like representation, which is said to have been called sacred 
"BETYL"
, which in the form of "L-TYPE" is from Turkish  "AL TEPE" meaning "red hill". which again refers to sun and the human 
head. On the "Coin of Macrinus", there is the writing of  "BYB GOY" with a "star" symbol next to it, which reads as 
Turkish "BABA GÖY" (BABA GÖK) meaning "Sky Father Sun". This indicates that the ancient Phoenecians, 
also called CANAANITES" from Turkish "KÜNHAN IDI", that is, "the "Sun-God believers", were also 
Turkish peoples.  In the above picture, at the bottom, God Zeus, in the form of a Bull, is abducting
the Phoenician princess so-called "Europa". This is an indication that the so-called Aryans 
usurped that ancient Turanian civilization as well. 


 



b)    MINUUTAUROS, rearranged (deciphered) letter-by-letter as "O-I-TANRU-USUM", is the anagrammatized form of the Turkish expression "O BIR-TANRU USUM"  meaning "I am that One-God wisdom", "I am that One-God knowledge".  This definition in Turkish has a double meaning: one meaning refers to the "One Sky-God" of Turanians, and the other meaning refers to "knowledge" as being "god" 

Turkish word O means "that", 
I 
is a symbol of numeral one, that is, BIR in Turkish,
TANRI
 means "God", 
US
 means "wisdom, knowledge", 
USUM
 means "I am wisdom, I am knowledge". 

Thus, the ancient Minoan legendary concept named as MINUUTAUROS, intentionally misattributed to the Greeks, is actually a personification of the Turanian"Sky-God" and the "human wisdom, human knowledge" embedded in the labyrinth of the human brain.  That living, thinking, creating and speaking capability of the human mind was the half-man half-bull MINUUTAUROS by verbal definition.  We must note that this is very much like the nameBILGAMESH, that is, also Turkish "AKILGAMESH" or by the distorted name of "GILGAMESH" of the Turko-Sumerians.   A depiction of Minotaur in the Labyrinth is shown below.

In addition to these very revealing decipherments in Turkish, I found some other Turkish expressions that are also embedded in this ancient word and are relevant to our subject matter in this study.   

We find the following revealing expressions in Turkish that explain the identity of Minos, his people the Minoans, their origin and their ancient religious culture and much more: 
   
c)    MINUUTAUROS
,  rearranged as  "I-TANRU-OUSUM",  is from  Tr.  "BIR TANRU OGUZUM" meaning "I am One-God OGUZ".  Turkish OGUZ  refers to One-Sky-God whose eyes, that is, "O-GÖZ" in Turkish refers to the Sun and the Moon.  Additionally,  human eyes and the eyes of other living beings.  Eye is a collector of information that feed to brain for  processing and storage. 


d)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "AI-TONRU-USUM" is from  Tr.  "AY-TANRU USUM"  meaning "I am the wisdom of the Moon God"Additionally,  "AY-TANRU YÜZÜM"  meaning "I am the face of the Moon God" 

The so-called Greek "AYA SOPHIA" meaning "wisdom of the moon" represents this ancient Turanian concept.  Supposedly the Greek words "sophia"means "wisdom" and "AYA" (HAGIA) is the Turkish word "AI-AGA" meaning the "Moon Lord" 


e)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as "I-TURAN-OUSUM" is from  Tr.  "BIR TURAN OGUZUM" meaning "I am One Turan Oguz", that is, "I am one Turanian Oguz".   This identifies that the ancient Minoans of the island of Crete were Turanian Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples and were not Greek at all.  In fact, Greeks stole all of their  civilization and claimed as their own.


f)    MINUUTAUROS
, rearranged as "MIN-TUR--AUSU-O",  is from Tr.  "MEN TUR AGUZU" meaning "I am Tur Language", that is, "I am Turkish language". This again verifies that the ancient Minoans were Turkish speaking Turanian Tur/Turk/Oguz peoples 


g    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "MIN-UTU-OUS-AR" is from  Tr.  "MEN UTU OGUZ ER" meaning "I am Sun-God Oguz man" Also, "MEN UTU ER-OKUZ" meaning "I am Sun-God Bull", that is, "I am the Sun-God Minotaur".   

UTU was the ancient Sun-God name in Turko-Sumerian language. 


h)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "SOIU-AN-TURUM" is from  Tr.  "SOYU AN TURUM"  (SOYU GÖK TURUM,  SOYU GÖK TÜRKÜM)meaning "I am he whose ancestors were Sky TUR", "I am he whose ancestors were Sky-Turk".  Turks are also known as "GÖK TÜRK", that is, The Sky-Turks 


Turkish AN means "sky", similarly GÖK (GÖY) means "sky; blue" 
SOY
 means "race, ancestry" and  
TUR
 is "an ethnic name of Turks" and also a "concept defining suffix" in Turkish, . 

And additionally, this Turkish expression:  MINUUTAUROS,  rearranged as  "SOYU HAN TURUM",  is from Tr.  "SOYU HAN TURUM" meaning "I am TUR whose ancestors were LORDS", that is, "I am TUR from noble ancestry".   It is no wonder that the Romans chose AENAES, a TROY (TURÖY) prince as their noble ancestors. 

Turkish word HAN (KHAN) means "Lord, Noble".


i)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "TURUN-SOIUAM",  is from  Tr.  "TUR'UN SOYUYAM" meaning "I am the descendant of  TUR" .


j)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "TANRU-SOIUUM" is from  Tr.  "TANRU SOYUYUM" meaning "I am the descendant of Sky-God" 


k)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "TURAN-SOIUUM" is from Tr.  "TURAN SOYUYUM" meaning "I am the descendant of TURAN" 


l)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "UIU-OSMAN-TUR" is from  Tr.  "ÖYÜ OSMANTUR " meaning "His house is OSMAN" or "his house is Oguzman".


m)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "UIU-TUR-OSMAN" is from  Tr.  "ÖYÜ TUR OSMAN" meaning "his house is TUR OSMAN", "his house is Turk Oguzman".


n)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "OT'UN-AS-IRUUM" is from  Tr.  "OD'UN AS ERIYUM" meaning "I am the peerless man of fire", "I am the peerless man of sun. 


o)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "I-O-TANRU-USUM" is from  Tr.  "BIR-O TANRU USUM" meaning "I am the wisdom of that One-God". 

p)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "O-US-IR-UTUMAN" is from  Tr.  "O US ER UTUMAN"  meaning "That wise man UTUMAN (OTOMAN)", that is, "That wise man is the Sun-God Man". 


q)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "OUS-IR-UTUMAN" is from Tr.  "OUS ER UTUMAN"  meaning "Oguz man is UTUMAN (OTOMAN)", that is, "Oguz man is Sun-God Man".  OTOMAN Turks, being called by the name "UTUMAN" (OTOMAN), is also indicative of their being from the ancient Turanian Sun-God religion although in later times they were known as the flag-bearers of Islamism.


r)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "MAN-UTU-OUS-IR" is from  Tr.  "MEN UTU AUS-ER"  meaning "I am Sun-God mouth man", that is, "I am Sun-God Language man", that is, "I am Sun-Language man" The Turkish term "AUS ER" in this decipherment also refers to the name "AUSAR" in ancient Masarian God  called "OSIRIS".   Minoans and the ancient Masarians were developers of the contemporary Turanian civilizations.  



s)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "MOR-UTU-ANUSI",  is from Tr. "MOR-UTU-ANUSI" meaning "the memory of the purple sun-god", that is,"the memory of the rising and setting sun-god". 


t)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "U-MINOS-UTU-AR",   is from Tr.  "O MINOS UTU ER" meaning "That MINOS is Sun-God Man", that is, " MINOS is Sun-God worshiping Man".  Here MINOS is defined as Sun-God 


u)    MINUUTAUROS, rearranged as  "U-AR-MINOS-UTU",   is from Tr.  "O ER MINOS UTU" meaning "That man MINOS is Sun-God". With this definition, he deifies himself as "Sun-God",  that is, "GÜN TANRI". 

v)    MINUUTAUROS
 rearranged as  "U-MINOS-UT-U-AR",   is from Tr.  "O MINOS UT U ER" meaning "That MINOS is bull and man", that is,"MINOS is Minotaur". 


To summarize: 

a)    "I am Bull and Oguz Man", that is, "I am minotaur",
b)    "I am that One-God wisdom",
c)    "I am One-God OGUZ",

d)    "I am the wisdom of the Moon God",
e)    "I am One Turan Oguz", that is, "I am Turanian Oguz".

h)    "I am he whose ancestors were Sky TUR"

i)    "I am the descendant of  TUR",
j)     "I am the descendant of GOD", 
k)    "I am the descendant of TURAN",

n)    "I am the peerless man of fire",

o)    "I am the wisdom of that One-God",
p)    "That wise man UTUMAN (OTOMAN)"
, that is, "That wise man is the Sun-God Man". 
q)    "Oguz man is UTUMAN (OTOMAN)"
, that is, "Oguz man is Sun-God Man",
r)    "I am Sun-God mouth man"
, that is, "I am Sun-Language man". 

s)    "the memory of the purple sun-god", that is, "the memory of the rising and setting sun-god". 
t)    "That MINOS is Sun-God Man", that is, "MINOS is Sun-God worshiping Man",
u)    "That man MINOS is the Sun-God",
v)    "That MINOS is bull and man", that is, "MINOS is Minotaur".

All of these Turkish expressions are embedded in the name MINUUTAUROS. For this reason, I call Minotaur and Laburinthos as examples of ancient"knowledge-preserving words" where embedded definitions are in Turkish.  Evidently, relevant knowledge that is conceptually related to each other may be saved in a word in confused and hidden forms. 

Also the meaning of all this is that the ancient Turanians knew the power of words and how well a story could be built into one word that could take the story into the future by way of rearranging the word in Turkish and reading it with all the relevant information.  They knew that once a meaning in Turkish is built into a word it never gets lost, but it stays in a frozen mixed state until they are deciphered in Turkish. It is no wonder that ancient Turko-Masarians, so-called "Egyptian", kept talking about the "power of words" for which OSIRIS and ISIS were known to be the god and goddess.

All of this shows that the ancient world was a Turanian Turkish speaking world that was destroyed by some supposedly religious but ill-intentioned and black-donned missionaries.  All of the art, books, science, mathematics, intellectual and cultural property of this ancient Turanian world were usurped in one hand, by the Greek and Semite religious men and missionaries to be claimed as their own, and in the other they destroyed this ancient civilization by all means of put-down and vilification and actually destroying the temples as well. While the Wkipedia reference states that the Greek heros like Theseus, Perseus, Cadmus or Heracles, all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order, it must be noted that such names were actually personified religious and political concepts underhandedly designed to destroy the very ancient Turanian civilization and social order!
