As for Scythians, read Chronicles of Eri (I am at p.300 of 1000 and
convinced it's not a forgery, although I don't take the content as all
true gospel).
Their language was completely different (and artificial) as compared to that of the Fryans (and as described by them).
It looks like they were the "prestera fon Sidon" and Fonikians (?) of the OLB.
(No time now to check the exact references.)
But somewhere more back in time they will indeed have been related somehow.

Wasn't that fire? Dutch: VUUR (VVVR).
But fire in Fryan is FJUR which also means four (tetrahedron is symbol for element fire).
One resemblance between Fryans and Scythians was fire worship.
The Scythian word for fire may have been derived from the Fryan "Ur-alda").

Thank you Abramelin for trying to rivive this thread.

Official etymology often refers to "proto-germanic" (or PIE) as if this is/ was a real language.
In fact it is merely an academic reconstruction, partly based on

About Lumkamakia, I have now an idea totally different from what i was looking before.
Not as much for the meaning of Lum, Loom, Leem like meanings ... that
all can stand but more in the figurative meaning, contrary to the
possible toponyms.
I'm not convinced 100% percent anymore we should actually look for a place called Lumkamakia.
The sentence and context goes like this
"Wodin thene aldeste hêmde to Lumka-mâkja bi thêre Ê-mude to Ast-flyland by sin eldrum t-us. Ênes was er hêrman wêst"
So Wodin was leisuring from his 'army' or soldier activities at his parents home.
"To Lumka Makja" -> om een luimke te doen -> om te luieren -> om te ontspannen -> to relax
http://gtb.inl.nl/iW...id=M037959.re.5
(...) More to build a case for this:
Gent's dialect (Gent = Capital City of East Flanders):
afternoon nap/middagdutje: luimke
http://www.mijnwoord...ct/gents&page=3
And from the first link on the verb "luimen" it is stated that it is only used presently as bargoens and soldierlanguage !
If we see that Gent's dialect is using 'luim-ke' (diminuitive for luim)
to describe reposing, we can imagine the link between East Flanders (Ast
Flyland?) en Fries Dialect.

(sailors?) have a rest.

Well over 400 distinct Indus symbols (some say 600) had been found on

Quote:
Originally
it was assumed that as the Finnish language was related to Sámi –
spoken by tribes perceived as Mongolian in origin – and as many Finns
supposedly looked ‘Eastern, ’that Finns were ‘Mongoloid’ and this view remained relatively unchallenged until the beginning of the twentieth century.
Have you actually read the study you quoted from?
The quote is followed by (my underlining):
Since that point, and particularly since the 1990s, it has been increasingly argued that Finns should be seen as ‘European’ but with a considerably more ‘eastern’ influence than many other Europeans.
That the original assumption was challenged, does not mean it was refuted.
Another significant quote from the introduction:
Quote
... their language is related to Hungarian, a string of languages across northern Russia and, some believe, Mongolian and even Japanese (see Gleason 1969). They are not quite Eastern yet they are not quite Western (...)
And from conclusion:
Quote
Many scholars agree that the question of the Finnish race remains unanswered. I would argue that on structural level, drawing upon a modern myth, they should [be] categorised as ‘Battling to be White’ which may also be the case with a number of other peripheral European nations in terms of racial scholarship.

But
back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries, Tunis was a simple town, unrelated
to far away Sousse and Chebba where the three mosaic you present where
found.
Sousse and Chebba are not that far away (Sousse is between Tunis and
Chebba, that are 250 km. apart). How can you say they are not
(culturally) related?
So Tunisia is named after Tunis, which may have been unimportant in the
time you refer to, but it had been destroyed by the Romans and was in
fact much older:
"In the 2nd millennium BC a town, originally named Tunes,
was founded by Berbers and also over time occupied by Numidians. In 146
BC, the Romans destroyed Tunis (along with Carthage)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunis
How did Tunes get its name?
It is not impossible that it is from Nef-/ Nep-Tunis, a naval hero named (kinsman) 'Tony', who was deified, as described in OLB.
Anyway, the argument (most often used) that OLB's etymology would be sheer nonsense, is invalid.

Comments on a fragment from "De Gemaskerde God" (2004) by Goffe Jensma (PhD thesis about the Oera Linda Book).
Page 157, about the Over de Linden family that owned the manuscript:
"From 558 BCE till 1938 CE every head of the family
would have inherited the manuscript from his predecessor and passed it
on again to his descendant. Self-evidently, this is a more than
questionable scenario."
Original Dutch text:
"Vanaf 558 voor Christus tot 1938 na Christus zou ieder
hoofd van de familie telkens het handschrift van zijn voorganger hebben
gekregen en weer hebben overgedragen aan zijn navolger. Vanzelfsprekend
is dit een meer dan betwijfelbare gang van zaken."
1. If there would have been one copy in one lineage only, it would
indeed be remarkable (though not impossible) that this copy survived for
so long.
But there will probably have been many copies around and in that case
there was more chance that one of them survived and showed up. Who knows
how many more there still are in private collections? (Considering what
happened to Cornelis Over de Linden, I would be reluctant to bring it
to 'specialists', if I had something similar in my possession.)
2. It is not necessarily so, that the known copy was saved in one family
lineage from Adela 'Oera Linda' till Cornelis Over de Linden. Imagine
that a random family had it in its possession in (for example) the 17th
century, and that the owner was able to read (parts of) it. He may have
adopted the name "Over de Linden", inspired by the manuscript.
Posted 19 September 2014 - 06:17 PM
Comment on another fragment (p.145):
"The creation process probably did not take place in a
continuous period, but in stages. The last efforts were clearly the
hardest, because as the text approached its completion, concentration
slacked and hastily the last bits were made up, translated and written
down. As the book progresses, its quality decreases in several ways
(style, trimness, concentration, structure). [...] It seems obvious that
this was partly caused by time pressure and haste."
Original Dutch text:
"Het maakproces heeft waarschijnlijk niet in een
aaneengesloten periode plaatsgevonden, maar in etappes. De laatste
loodjes wogen duidelijk het zwaarst, want naarmate de tekst zijn
voltooiing naderde, verslapte de concentratie en werd er met behoorlijke
haast een en ander bedacht, vertaald en afgeschreven. Naarmate het
vordert, neemt in allerlei opzichten (stijl, netheid, concentratie,
structuur) de kwaliteit van het boek af. De oorspronkelijke bedoeling
zou dus heel goed geweld kunnen zijn aangedaan. Het ligt voor de hand
dat tijdsdruk en haast daarbij een rol hebben gespeeld."
According to Jensma, the OLB was created by Over de Linden, Haverschmidt and Verwijs.
If they had finished the manuscript in a hurry, then why did Verwijs delay its translation and publication by more than two years?
See letter fragments:
Othar Winis, on 06 January 2014 - 06:27 PM, said:
... fragments from letters by Verwijs (...):
1) 1867 june 28 - to J.F. Jansen
"This morning I copied a whole speech which is not all clear to me yet,
but which, as far as I could judge from the copy, is most curious."
2) 1867 oct. 13 - to C. Over de Linden (OdL)
"As I said, I was overjoyed with the discovery and told many of my
friends. Part of it was quite easy to understand and, although seeming
to be of younger age, not different from the language of the Oldfrisian
laws from the 13th and 14th century. But there were also fragments, that
I didn't and still don't understand and that will take much meticulous
study, before I can clarify them."
3) 1867 oct. 16 - to OdL
"I really can't promise you the translation of a separate part, as there are difficulties in it, that may take weeks of study."
4) 1867 oct. 19 - to OdL
"It certainly is a manuscript from one of your ancestors - which means
your family is very old - , that was copied many times and by all means
deserves to become known. [...] The importance of the manuscript will
give the ancient name of the Oera Linda's a radiance, brighter than any
of the oldest noble families."
5) 1868 nov. 21 - to OdL
"The case is of enough interest to me, to finally dive into it properly."
6) 1869 may 17 - to OdL
"Then I hope to take the whole with me in this summer holiday and start translating."
7) 1869 nov. 11 - to OdL
"I finally return the manuscript to you, but you will be sorry that the
translation is still missing. [...] Here and there translation is very
easy and it can be done at first sight; but other parts contain
difficulties, that take much time and study. But I hope to be able to
help you soon now."
8) 1869 nov. 11 - to J. Winkler
"Here and there translation is easy, but there are also quite some
difficulties and unknown words. I know that if I would start, I would
not rest before I have solved them, and that way I would spend much too
much time on it. [...] The case is of much interest to me, so I don't
want to fully withdraw from it. [...] Such an etymological quest is very
much of my liking, [...] It's odd that it contains some very old words
and that also the forms point at a previous linguistic era, while other
expressions sound so very modern." [Verwijs could not (or hardly)
imagine that some expressions were old, which does not prove that they
could not in fact have neen old.]
This is just one of many examples of how Jensma's theory does not make sense.

Most historiographic stories in the OLB start with their dating:
p.1 "30 years after the Folkmother was killed..."
p.6 "it was 7 x 7 years after Fàsta was appointed..."
p.47 "before the bad times came..."
p.50 "101 years after Aldland had sank..."
p.62 "563 years after Aldland had sank..."
p.68 "10 years after Jon was brought away..."
p.72 "when Hellenja or Minerva had died..."
p.75 "in the year 1005 after Aldland sank this was written..."
p.79 "... 1602 years after Aldland perished"
p.119 "two years after Gosa became Mother..."
p.120 "after we had been 12 x 100 and 2 x 12 years at the Five Waters..."
p.130 "in the times that our land sank down"
And once at the end:
p.117 "that happened 1888 years after Atland had sank"
If the Jes-us story really happened "when Atland was submerged", the author could have easily started the story with "In the time that Atland was submerged...", but she starts with "1600 years ago...", and you [Puzzler] suggest that she did this to mention when she wrote the story down.
This does not make sense.
She aims at dating the time when Jes-us lived and the point of reference is "when Atland sank", not when she wrote it, because we (the readers from the future) don't know when she wrote it.
From the context it is clear (and all translators agree about this) that the phrase should be read as:
"It was 1600 years after Atland had sank, and at that time..." etcetera
... so my answer is ca. 600 BCE.

No area that seems approapriate for 'Atland' to be in
Atland, according to the OLB means "old land". This can refer to any
lost land. It is obvious that much land (coastal areas, islands) got
lost as a result of natural disasters. OLB's Aldland does not have to
refer to the same location as Plato's Atlantis.

It is possible that this flood was not recorded or that Okke's father was refering to a metaphorical flood (invasion).
Some questions for you:
When do you suppose the manuscript was created and with what motive?
Why has (recent) years of paper research not resulted in a clear answer as to how old the paper is?

It does not say:
"It was 1600 years after Atland
The best translation is not always the most literal one.
Your interpretation just does not make sense, because all over the OLB, the point of reference is the sinking of Aldland.
If the Jes-us story happened around that time, it would have been in 'year zero', when Aldland sank.
If the author had meant that it happened 1600 years ago (the year of
writing the text being the point of reference), we would have to know in
what year it was written.

Comments on a fragment from "De Gemaskerde God" (2004) by Goffe Jensma (PhD thesis about the Oera Linda Book).
Another fragment, p.121:
"How is it even possible, that the Oera Linda-book was
never recognised as the religious allegory that I described in the
previous chapters? A primal cause seems to be the complex procedure that
is followed in the book. Very much is asked of the reader, perhaps too
much. He must constantly keep dispelling illusions and it takes effort and perseverance to finally discover the modernist message behind the historical nonsense."
Original Dutch text:
"Hoe kan het, dat het Oera Linda-boek eigenlijk nooit is
gelezen als de religieuze allegorie die ik er in de vorige hoofdstuken
in zag? Een eerste oorzaak lijkt het ingewikkelde procédé dat in het
boek is gevolgd. Er wordt van de lezer zeer veel gevraagd, te veel
misschien. Hij moet voortdurend illusies blijven doorprikken en het vergt inspanning en volharding om uiteindelijk achter de historische kolder de modernistische boodschap te ontwarren."
If it were not the symptom of a self-destructive, collective mental
illness, it would almost be funny that Jensma does not see that it is
rather the other way around:
That he (and his fellow pseudo-skeptics) must constantly keep creating illusions in order to avoid the conclusion that the manuscript might be authentic after all.
His alleged 'historical nonsense' is the result of his own very liberal and questionable interpretations,
for example that GÉRT.PIRE.HIS TOGHATER would refer to the medieval
daughter of Great Pier Donia and that JES.US (a.k.a. BUDA) refers to
Jesus of Nazereth.

Like you said "Wiljo copied it ca 300 BC from the writings of Dela aka Hellenja"
But you think also "who is probably not the same as Adela".
"and probably not the same as Hellenia", the old writings of Hellenia Wiljow is referring to.
The confusion is caused by Ottema's erroneous transliteration and translation: "thet Hêlênja bok" => "het Hellenia boek".
The text reads:
p.[134/04] Wiljo
THÁ.K NÉI THA SAXANA MARKA FOR.
HÀV IK THRJU BOKA HRET.
THET BOK THÉRA SANGA.
THÉRA TELLINGA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .
[1)] THIT SEND THA SKRIFTA HEL.LÉNJA.S.
["Jes.us" story, signed by "DEL.Á TONOMATH. HEL.LÉNJA"
[2) p.141] SÁ LUDA FRÁNA.S UTROSTE WILLE.
[Frana's testament]
[3) p.142] THET HETH GOSA NÉILÉTEN.
[Gosa's prophecy]
So Wiljo saved 3 books, that were not copied, nor added to the manuscript:
THET BOK THÉRA SANGA.
THÉRA TELLINGA
ÀND THET HÉLÉNA BOK.
And she copied 3 texts that were added to the manuscript:
THA SKRIFTA HEL.LÉNJA.S. (or: "DEL.Á TONOMATH. HEL.LÉNJA")
FRÁNA.S UTROSTE WILLE.
THET HETH GOSA NÉILÉTEN.
If Delá a.k.a. Hellénja would have been the same as Ádela, why would Wiljo not have simply written Ádela?

This
conversation is incapable of moving on- and it's because there is so
little to work with. There is only one example of OLB language and
history, and that is the OLB itself.
Little too work with? There's much more than you can handle.
The problem is that most here only work with one or two translations.
Study the original text.
It is way too huge to just have been a joke or experiment.
