Death noted on Lewis Ancestry as 1414 BCHecataeus of Abdera, a fourth-century B.C. Greek historian,states that "Now the Egyptians say that also after these events[the plagues of Exodus] a great number of colonies were SPREADFROM EGYPT all over the inhabited world...They say also thatthose who set forth with DANAUS, likewise from Egypt, settledwhat is practically the oldest city of Greece, Argos, and thatthe nations of the COLCHI IN PONTUS and that of the Jews(remnant of Judah), which lies BETWEEN ARABIA AND SYRIA, werefounded as colonies by certain emigrants from their country[Egypt]; and this is the reason why it is a long-establishedinstitution among these peoples to CIRCUMCISE their malechildren, the custom having been brought over FROM EGYPT. Eventhe ATHENIANS, they say, are colonists from SAIS IN EGYPT."(Quoted from Diodorus of Sicily. G. H. Oldfather, 1933. Vol I,bks I-II, 1-34, p.91).An examination of some of the historical clues reveals thatthere lived in Egypt -- during the time of the bondage of theIsraelites -- a man named DARDA. According to E. Raymond Capt,"Darda, "the Egyptian," (son of Zarah) was "DARDANUS," theEGYPTIAN FOUNDER OF TROY." (Jacob's Pillar. Artisan Sales,Thousand Oaks, CA. 1977. P. 25).The early migration of Darda is noted in the book How IsraelCame to Britain:Actually, groups of Israelites began to migrate away from themain body BEFORE THE ISRAEL NATION WAS FORMED -- while, as apeople, they were STILL IN BONDAGE IN EGYPT. One of these groupsunder the leadership of Calcol, a prince of the tribe of Judah,went westward across the Mediterranean eventually settling inUlster [Ireland]. ANOTHER, under the leadership of DARDANUS, abrother of Calcol, CROSSED TO ASIA MINOR to found the Kingdomlater known as TROY. -- Canadian British Israel Assn. Windsor,Ontario. P.2.
