Hill o Many Stanes

In the absence of paper with which to record historical information, the ancient Scots had a master location Map of Scotland at the Hill 'o many Stones, utilised to verify Clan identity, affinity and general area. With the information interwoven into the fabric of the kilt, friend or foe could instantly recognise the particular place where a visitor hailed from. Small checks from the North and larger from the South. Colour would then be added to represent status and historical connections. Ancient Greece employed a similar plaid register map showing details of ownership and land boundaries. It was designed for fiscal and taxation purposes and was known as a "Cadaster".

So who were these pre-druidic cartographic, tartan map-makers? Robert the Bruce gives us a positive insight of where to look in his Declaration of Arbroath Independence speech. "They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules". The Pillars of Hercules was the phrase that was applied in Antiquity to the promontories that flank the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. The northern Pillar is the Rock of Gibraltar in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, located at the tip of the Iberian peninsula.

The Tartessians were Phoenician-Hittite sea traders, who established the Phoenician city of Tartessos, located beyond the Pillars of Hercules. Cadiz, in Southern Spain, was used as a staging port for Tartessos, as the Phoenician-Hittites sailed to the Tin Island of Cornwall (Great Britain), Cadiz was settled around 1200 B.C. The trade in tin was very lucrative, it was used for Bronze weapons and utensils. The Spanish authorities have disputed ownership of the Gibraltar Rock for hundreds of years, but historical evidence supports the ownership of this significant Phoenician-Hittite anchor platform by their distant descendants. Inherent traits were later to overshadow the obscure work of Judeo-Roman tin trader, Joseph of Arimathea, who was the trusted broker for the merchant navy that engaged in trade with the Cornish tin merchants, mutual kin to both himself and his nephew, Jesus.

Tartessos gets its name from the Hittite sea port of Tarsus in the south of Turkey, cloth and silk was exported around Europe from this busy port. Tarsus-Tartessos is the Phoenician-Hittite root word for “tartan.” Ancient Turkey has a number of cities whose names are suffixed with the ending "sos" including, Ephesos, Telmessos and Sagalasos. The suffix itself comes from God's line of Kings called The Hyksos, also called the Egyptian Pharaoh Shepherd Kings. Their distinctive clothes were patterned with small black and white tartan checks. The Good Shepherd Jesus' kin were descended from the Shepherd Kings via the Phoenician-Hittites. Tarsus is the birth place of Saint Paul whose knowledge of his proud roots would have been a major personal emotional impetus to spread the Christian story amongst others. Tartessos and Tarsus have both been suggested as possible locations for the biblical, Tarshish, where the prophet Jonah wanted to flee. A third possible location is the Treshnish Isles, off the West Coast of Mull, whose name is the most compatible of the three. The rocks around this area are claimed by expert geologists to be the origins of Ea-rth (oldest on the planet). Careful thought needs to be given when we discover the Hebrews use of the word Tishrei (or Tishri) means, "To begin", which allies with the Greek word Alpha and bible alternative Genesis, the home of the altar and birth place of civilisation. The legendary Grail authors present an alluring story of a place where the Fisher Kings and Queens return to procreate, a human adaptation of that King of Fish, the salmon's, reproductive adventures. The moral of the migratory fish tale is that there is an inborn navigational system implanted within our brains. The Salmon instinctively knows in which tributary of the river it was born-hatched, this is passed on genetically. The story intuitively leads us on to Barry Dunford's revealing claims that this is a possible logical location for where Jesus and Mary Magdalene came to start their own family on the Holy island of Iona. The original rocks of the Creator hold the consistent exhilaration of the pulse and heartbeat of Mother Earth, that acts like a reviving stimulant, in turn conveying an optimistic spiritedness to the mind, body and soul. The ultimate retroactive, restorative health farm retreat. Drawn to the isolated holy sanctuary, fleeing from their vindictive oppressors, this was no donkey blindfolded spontaneous tail on a map, this royal voyage was meticulously planned and would have mirrored a modern day Genes Reunited random door step reunion. With a Family tree map preserved underneath their cloaks, verifying their mutual Phoenician-Hittite blood relations.

Hill 'o many stanes in Cattiness (Caithness) has a number of very profound secrets attached to its antiquity. Sitting on the Roseline, the World's Original Line Indicator, or more precisely, its ancient acronymic title, "OLI", was implemented to distract and confuse remorseless, invading forces and to help preserve this sacrilegious Scottish site of indisputable importance from desecration.

The resilient Scottish Clan Oliphant successively and successfully kept the strand of history unbroken, enduring periods of pious sacrifice in the hands of their opposers in order to keep their sacred stone marker clock and secret great time projection calender intact, so that future generations could calculate and decipher the impending date when the time line date, Omega is reunited with Alpha.

The Clan (OLI) Oliphant is made up of two elements. OLI is a acronym, it is an Abbreviated, Coded Rendition Of Name Yielding Meaning - the meaning being "Original Line Indicators". Phant:- phant(om), an immaterial form, illusive and transparent. This relates to the Roseline energy that runs through the stones. The word "pharmacy" is of the same derivation as "phant". Our ancestral shaman-doctors could communicate with spirits along these sacred leyline conjunctions. Compassionate, merciful gifts of magical herb and plant remedies were conjured up to treat the sick. The Oliphant Clan were hereditary guardians and inception architect keepers to the land that surrounded this megalithic observatory area in and around Hill 'o many stanes in North East Caithness (Cattiness). The stone markers are set in rows of 22 to indicate a lunar map of eclipse projection, historically the Oliphant clan were the nation's time keepers. They had accurately mastered the astrological projections of the stars and planets so their calender would be as precise as the well documented Mayan calender.

The Oliphant clan kept their secrets of the realm well hidden but one major clue to their astronomical expertise can be found on their clan badge and, contrary to alternative beliefs, no, it is not an elephant.
