King (see Chapter 14). Caliban was the ever-present wickedness often
represented by a dragon or serpent.
Geographers such as Ptolemy Avienus abbreviated Albion to
Alba. Gaelic speaking Scots, the original Celtic Britons, still refer to their
Scotland (the eastern Border country and Wales) as Alba. Caledonia,
from the Caledonii tribe, is the old name for Scotland north of the Firth of
Forth and Clyde.
The Welsh Triads also relate that all but two people, of the first
inhabitants of Britain drowned in a great flood. A ship, containing a man
and his family, along with a male and female of every living creature
were the only ones to survive the flood.
The Triads then mention the arrival of the Cymry or Kymry. This
name means the first race and later the British. As we saw in Chapter 5,
the Greeks knew them as Kimmerioi. Others called them Cambria or
Cumbria. They derive from the Welsh word Cymru, pronounced as
Kumry or Kumri. Assyrian texts give the Israelites the same name.
The Cymry came from ancient Albania, then located to the south
of the Caucasus Mountains and bordering the western coast of the
Caspian Sea:
There are three pillars of the nation of the Isle of Britain. The first
was Hu the Mighty, who brought the nation of the Kymry first to
the Isle of Britain; coming from that which is called Defrobani …
Defrobani is Dyffynbanu or Dyffynalbanu, the deep vales or
glens of Albania. This is the country between the Euxine (Black Sea) and
Caspian Sea. 691 The Norse called this place Asgerd, the traditional home
of their god Odin. They believed the city of Asgerd was located thirty
miles north of Lake Van, in very area where the Assyrians settled the ten
lost tribes of Israel.
The British associated the ancient legends of giant Cornish
megalithic builders with the Cymry. These giants shared similar mythical
traits to the Watchers of the Book of Enoch, who were the Nephilim and
their offspring with the Daughters of Man called the Anakim at the Danite
sanctuary of Mount Hermon.
The Cornish sources of tin, so famous in Roman times, came into
production in about 1000BCE. The chief Phoenician port in Britain and
the center of the tin trade was probably St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall,
which is Strabo’s Ictis. The Odyssey also mentions a market for bronze in
a country called Thamesis, which may correspond to the region of the
Thames estuary. 692
