<strong>The</strong> insignia of the Milesians flag and coat of arms was a Red Hand. This<br />

red hand is the symbol of Zarah, the first born of Jacob. He was the first<br />

to emerge from the womb and the mid-wife placed a scarlet thread upon<br />

his hand. 661<br />

Ulster has adopted the Red Hand as its symbol and the Northern<br />

Ireland flag includes it with the six-pointed Star of David.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Milesians also traced their ancestry to Gad, who was one of<br />

the sons of the patriarch Jacob. <strong>The</strong> leader of the tribe, Gadelius, was the<br />

grandson of the king of Scythia.<br />

<strong>The</strong> famous Sacred Banner of the Milesians, which they carried<br />

to Ireland from Asia and southern Europe, showed a dead serpent and the<br />

rod of Moses. This serpent symbol was the early family heraldic emblem<br />

of the Israelite tribe of Dan. 662<br />

For the legend of how the Trojan Brutus landed in Britain, we<br />

turn to the patriarch Joseph in Egypt. Upon his death, the sons of Judea<br />

ruled according to the blessing of Jacob. <strong>The</strong> Keltoi Israelites fell from<br />

power and fled from Egypt to Troy, thence to Spain and London. <strong>The</strong><br />

line of Zarah, the first-born of Jacob, arrived in Ireland from the Near<br />

East in the days of David.<br />

Earliest Greek legends about the son of Belus, king of the<br />

Spartans, give the story of Danaus who arrived in Greece with his<br />

daughters by ship. According to the legend, Danaus shared the throne of<br />

Egypt with his half-brother Aegyptus.<br />

Aegyptus drove Danaus, his 50 sons and his 50 daughters from<br />

Egypt. While the brothers established Jerusalem, the daughters, called the<br />

Danaides, traveled to the Peloponnesus via Rhodes. This was the<br />

expulsion of the Hyksos, which we investigated in Chapter 6.<br />

Manetho, Diodorus Siculus and other classic authors identify<br />

Danaus with Dan of Israel. Manetho said the final expulsion of the<br />

Hyksos from Egypt included that of a people known as the Danaoi.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Hyksos Israelites therefore conquered Greece and laid the<br />

basis for Mycenaean civilization. <strong>The</strong> arrival of the Danaides is the story<br />

of how the cult of the Mother Goddess and the agricultural orgies in the<br />

Mysteries of Demeter, called the <strong>The</strong>smophoria, arrived in Greece from<br />

Egypt. 663 In the course of the proceedings, the devotees carried in a<br />

basket the severed genitals of the sacrificial king or his surrogate. <strong>The</strong><br />

Priestesses made their basket from wild asparagus and rushes, which were<br />

sacred and tabooed for ordinary use. 664 <strong>The</strong> Spartans called their festival<br />
