  5. 5.Traditional Theories • Oriental origin of our mediterranean culture Egyptian hieroglyphs ,cuneiform scrip, phoenician alphabet

  6. 6.New Theories: Ancient scripts : Unity from NeolithicPower of peoples of limits: Thrace and Iberia:Huelva Script from Megalithic timesPaleolithic signs 4.000-3.000 a.C.

  7. 7. Possible origin in Thrace of many cults in relation with Great Neolithic Goddess of fertility and eternal life and its paredroi , relationed with the serpent(Rogozen, Mogilanska) • Dionisos-Sabazio,Orpheus-Thracian Horseman

  8. . 8. Orpheus and Euridyce • Dead of Eurídice (1636/37)Erasmus QuellinusMuseo del Prado Orfeo in wall painter of Pompeya house : Kadmos and the dragonSide B: Pan, bust of Hermes, young Satyr

  10. 10. BENDIS • Cthonic Goddess: Inmortality • Moon • Snake

  11. 11. DIONISIO-ZAGREUS • Son of Semele and a Snake God/Zeus

  12. 12. Opposition from Neolithic to historical times serpent<--> sun • Votive relief from Galene. It represents a Thracian horseman-hero and bears an inscription with his name: "Jason". Dated to the 1st century B.C. Neolithic snake Goddess

  13. Reproducción: GUERRERO CRISTIANO 13. Hypothesis/Conclusions • 1.Snake important autochthonous goddess ? • 2. Earthian power of Neolithical Great Goddess ? Fertilty-life and death • 3. Opposition Pre-indoeuropean –Indoeuropean cultures symbols ? • The Great and eternal ennemy ?

  14. 14. Ex Occidente Lux • The Phoenicians came to the West to recover the lost market of metales(copper) in the I millenium • Riotinto, Rodalquilar, Cástulo, Almadén, Sierra Almagrera The mining wealth of the Iberian Peninsula justifies its importance from the Calcolítico 1.000-700 a.C.

  15. 15.FINALLY • I believe that the cults to the serpent in Greece and Rome are a pervivencia of the preindeuropeans cults, of which Thracian was the origin. • And that the importance of these cults related to serpents in Thracia and Iberia agrees in indicating zones of much wealth

  16. 16.HYPOTHESIS FINAL • The serpent was in the ancient world , in meny places, also in Thrace , in addition to all the this (fertility, fecundity, eternal life in relation with a Great Goddes) one nails wealth indicator • HERAKLES &Hesperides Garden • Alexander & son of serpent • Cistophoroi: Coin &serpent: To Nº 1, please • And one independent and very important deity wo remains
