How Yeshu’a Become Jesus By:JOSEPH STALLINGS Published in Catholic Digest January 1992 vol.32,no.6 page 17, The Mystery of the Magi: Way back in the fifth and sixth centuries, some pagan Germanic tribes called the Angles and Saxons invaded England. St Augustine of Canterbury came to convert them to Christianity in A.D.396. Of course St. Augustine established Jerome’s Latin translation as England’s official Bible. The Anglo-Saxon learned

that our Lord’s official Latin name was Iesus. Naturally the Germanic Anglo-Saxon converted the initial Latin ‘I’ into the German ‘J’. They pronounced the name, however, as YAY-zoos, since a single ‘s’ between two vowels is sounded like our ‘z’ in Germanic languages. When the Normans invaded England in A.D.1066 they brought with them the French language. Since neither the Anglo-Saxons nor the Normans would surrender their language to the other, the two become wedded and eventually evolved into Modern English.

St. Augustine of Canterbury (c. first third of the 6th century – 26 May 604) was a Benedictine monk who became the first Archbishop of Canterbury in the year 598. He is considered the "Apostle to the English" and a founder of the English Church. Pope Gregory sent more missionaries in 601, along with encouraging letters and gifts for the churches, although attempts to persuade the native Celtic bishops to submit to Augustine's authority failed. Roman Catholic bishops were established at London and Rochester in 604, and a school was founded to train Anglo-Saxon priests and missionaries.

Wikipedia Encyclopedia: The Norman settlers felt no community with the earlier Danish settlers, despite the fact that the Normans were themselves descendants of the Vikings. In fact, the Normans met with the steadiest resistance in a part of England which was the most influenced by the Danish. Ousting the Danish leaders who recently conquered parts of England and provided some of the stiffest resistance to the Normans, and largely replacing the powerful English territorial magnates

Viking (pron. / v̍əɪkɪŋ/) is one of the Norse (Scandinavian) explorers, warriors, merchants, and pirates

who raided and colonized wide areas of Europe from the late eighth to the early eleventh century.[1]

These Norsemen used their famed longships to travel as far east as Constantinople and the Volga River in Russia, and as far west as Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland. This period of Viking expansion is known as the Viking Age, and forms a major part of the medieval history of Scandinavia, Britain and Ireland and Europe in general.

Danish : The Chronicon Lethrense explains that when the Roman Emperor Augustus went against Denmark (Danish) in the time of David,

[15] Denmark consisted of seven territories Jutland, Funen, Zealand,

Møn, Falster, Lolland and Skåne which were governed by King Ypper of Uppsala. He had three sons, Nori, Østen, and Dan. Dan was sent to govern Zealand, Møn, Falster, and Lolland, which became known jointly as Videslev.

WITNESS

YahYah (John) 5:36-41 “But I have Greater Witness than that of YahYah : for the works

which Yahweh hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that

Yahweh hath sent me and Yahweh Himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.

You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape, and you have not His word

abiding in you: for whom He hath sent, him you believe not. Search the scriptures for in them

you think you have Eternal Life and they which testify of me, and you will not come to me that you

might have Life, I receive not honor from men”

THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPED IS BY THE NAVY OF SHIPS OF SOLOMON THAT TRAVELS TO OPHIR

BEFORE THEY LEFT THE LEVITE PRIEST IS CALLED SACERDOTE from YAHSHER-DATH (DAWTH)

Dath דת 1) decree, law, edict, regulation, usage ,a) decree, edict, commission, b) law, rule

dath <1881> Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance Hebrew Dictionary

Pronunciation: Dawth

Definition: 1) decree, law, edict, regulation, usage 1a) decree, edict, commission 1b) law, rule

of uncertain (perhaps foreign) derivation: a royal edict or statute:-commandment, commission, decree, law, manner.

DaTH

I used to think of DaTH (dawth) as meaning void, since that's the way the fluffy bunny new age kabbalah

books present it. I was curious one day and decided to see if the word was in the Bible (in Hebrew version)

and found that it means something like the Law written in our hearts, a kosmic consciousness that lets us

know if we are in sync with the Tao That Be (or however you want to describe it). Here are a few of my

notes on my research into DaTH.

Go on a spiritual quest to find values you can hold up as being what you stand for. You have found your

inner DaTH. You have found the law written in your heart. What is law? A king gives a decree or edict that

is the expression of the king’s will. *Esther 3:14, 8:13, 9:14+ There was the concept that once a king issued

this DaTH, it cannot be altered or revoked. [Daniel 2:15, 6:16] DaTH is entrusted to people. In the case of

civil law, this DaTH is in the hands of judges, enforced by police, argued by lawyers, voted upon and

recorded by politicians.

The Israelites had the concept of the ToWRaH being the DaTH of Yahweh. Ezra was given the title of

Secretary of the irrevocable DaTH of the Almighty of heaven. [Ezra 7:2, 1 Esdras 8:9] The irrevocability of

the DaTH from Yahweh was not questioned by Yahshua. Yahshua was not out to destroy the ToWRaH

representing the DaTH from Yahweh, but to bring it to life in the hearts of people. [Matthew 5:17] He was

not getting out a giant cosmic eraser. What he challenged was that DaTH of Yahweh was complete and

contained in scriptures and traditions. He offered that DaTH of Yahweh can be known in the heart,

directly experienced, with continued insights into this DaTH, renewed revelation, and ongoing prophecy.

This was not anti-Jewish at all. The idea was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Jews continued to redefine

DaTH with the Mishnah, the Talmud, the Kabbalah, and to this day with books being published, web

sites being built, deeper insights explored and lived out.

Here is something you can count on to be true for your entire life — CHoKMaH/Sophia and DaTH are

treasures that will be your salvation. The greatest treasure comes from uniting with Yahweh. [Isaiah33:6]

Page 12: The Philippines is the Ophir of the Bible

12

A treasure is a reward after following a treasure hunt. A gift is never really valued as a treasure.

YAHWEH with a multitude approaches, from his right hand comes a shining DaTH. [Deuteronomy 33:2]

DaTH is the invisible SHiPHRaH, the Law in the heart of Yahweh. DaTH is Law, but DaTH is also having an

active conscious, a living Law written in the heart. DaTH is being conscious of the will of Yahweh, which

we can concentrate upon, which we can be mindful of, which can direct our view of what Yahweh wants

in each given situation. DaTH is beyond memorizing a collection of ancient rules. DaTH is a living part of

each of us. I would dare say that people who have never heard one word of religion still know that it

would be wrong to go on a murdering spree or steal from the neighbors when they are not at home. The

commandments part of ToWRaH are not the DaTH, but are examples of using the DaTH in specific

situations. The DaTH extends far beyond the few ancient case-by-case examples of what would not be

acceptable behavior.

Thus the Jewish/Kabbalist quest for the invisible DaTH is much like the Gnostic quest for direct connect,

for gnosis. Maybe it is invisible because it is from another dimension, that light trapped in the darkness,

our core Messiah’s Consciousness, our native our Nature.

Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - Dath Mosha

Middle Eastern and North African Jewish community headdress may also resemble that of the ancient

Israelites. In Yemen, the wrap around the cap was called ַמַצר massar; the head covering worn by all

women according to Dath Mosha was a ַגרגּוש "Gargush"

YISRAWALE (ISRAEL) DURING ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY

The Hebrew language was replaced by Aramaic language when they were under Assyrian Captivity , the word ‘DATH’ for Priest was replaced by Aramaic word ‘KAHEN’

ARAMAIC VERSION OF DATH IS KAHEN (Aramaic Language during Assyrian captivity, 2Kings 18:26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall. (Syrian language is Aramaic).

BEFORE ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY THE LEVITE PRIEST IS CALLED SACER-DOTE from YAHSHER-DATH

(DAWTH) AND DURING ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY THE PRIEST (NOT ANYMORE LEVITES 2Kings 17:24 , 2Kings 17:27 ,1Kings 12:31 ) IS CALLED “KAHEN”

King Jeroboam made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi

1Kings 12:31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. 1Kings 12:32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in

Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. 1Kings 13:33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places. 1Kings 13:34 And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.

Yisrawale (Israel) 2Kings 17:23 Until removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day. 2Kings 17:24 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. 2Kings 17:27 Then the king of Assyria commanded saying Carry thither one of the PRIESTS whom ye brought from thence, and let them go and dwell there and let him teach them the manner of the God of that land. 2Kings 17:28 Then one of the Priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwell in Beth-el and taught them how they should fear the God of that land. (The Priest whom they had carried away from Samaria is NOT LEVITE).

DURING ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY THE PRIEST OF YISRAWALE WHICH WERE NOT THE SONS OF LEVI WAS CALLED ‘KAHEN’

‘KAHEN’ MEANS PRIEST IS ARAMAIC WORD THAT REPLACED THE FORMER LEVITE PRIEST OR YAHSHEAR-DATH OR SACERDOTE

3547 kahan kaw-han' a primitive root, apparently meaning to mediate in religious services; but used only as denominative from 3548; to officiate as a priest; figuratively, to put on regalia:--deck, be (do the office of a, execute the, minister in the) priest('s office).

3548 kohen ko-hane' active participle of 3547; literally, one officiating, a priest; also (by courtesy) an

acting priest (although a layman):--chief ruler, X own, priest, prince, principal officer.

3549 kahen kaw-hane' (Aramaic) corresponding to 3548:--priest. (KAHEN IS ARAMAIC)

THEREFORE THE PRIEST BEFORE ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY IS CALLED ‘YAHSHEAR-DATH’ (SACER-DOTE) AND DURING ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY WAS CHANGED TO ARAMAIC WORD ‘KAHEN’.

Yisrawale (Israel ) and Yahuwdah (Jews) carried away out of their own land to Assyria and Babylonia

Yisrawale (Israel) 2Kings 17:23 Until removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day. 2Kings 17:24 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

Yahuwdah (Jews) 2Kings 17:19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of their Elohim, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. Daniel 1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.

Jeremiah 44:2 Thus saith of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and

no man dwelleth therein, Jeremiah 44:7 Therefore now this saith , the Elohim of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;

THE LEVITE PRIEST OF YISRAWALE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPED IS BY THE NAVY OF SHIPS OF SOLOMON THAT TRAVELS TO OPHIR

WHERE IS OPHIR?

"Tarsis and Ofir"

During the early period of European colonization, the Biblical lands of Tarshish and Ophir, or Tarsis and Ofir, as they were called, held the imagination of European explorers. Not only was it believed that the "lost tribes" of Israel were to be found in these lands, but also untold wealth. To these kingdoms King Solomon and King Hiram of Tyre sent ships for trade that "brought from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones," (I Kings 10:11). Concerning Tarshish it is written: "Fro the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram: every three years once came the shop of Tarshish bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacock." (II Chronicles 9:21)

In Samuel Purchas's well-known travel compendium Purchas His Pilgrim, he devotes the entire first chapter to a discussion of Tarshish and Ophir. In particular, he argues strenously that it is beloved Britain and not Spain that deserved the title as the modern Tarshish and Ophir. Curiously, in Careri's journal of his visit to the Philippines, he mentions that he would not go into the argument raging in Europe at that time over whether the Philippines was originally populated by the descendants of Biblical Tarshish.

In modern times, scholars have attempted to relate Tarshish and Ophir with a number of areas, none of which include the Philippines. However, things were different in Europe prior to the discovery of the Philippines. There, they believed that Tarsis and Ofir were some lands far to the east of biblical Israel. Their reasoning was actually quite logical. King Solomon built the port from which ships departed for Tarsis and Ofir at Ezion-Geber on the coast of the Red Sea. The return journey took about three years, so obviously the location must be somewhere far to the East. In modern times, some scholars have tried to suggest that Solomon's navy circumnavigated Africa to reach the Mediterranean, but the seafaring Europeans of those times would not consider such nonsense. Tarsis and Ofir were unknown lands beyond the Golden Chersonese of Ptolemy. Their discovery would undoubtedly bring untold wealth and great fame in the minds of the people of those times.

But what, one may ask, has this to do with the Philippines? The truth is that the search for Tarsis and Ofir was directly related to the "discovery" of these islands by Magellan!

Page 15: The Philippines is the Ophir of the Bible

Magellan and the Search for Ophir

Magellan's contemporary, Duarte Barbosa, wrote that the people of Malacca (in modern Malaysia) had described to him an island group known as the Lequios whose people were as "rich and more eminent than the Chins (Chinese)," and that traded "much gold, and sliver in bars, silk, rich cloth, and much very good wheat, beautiful porcelains and many other merchandises."

However, Barbosa was not the only one to mention the Lequios during Magellan's time. About a decade after Magellan's voyage, Ferdinand Pinto had wrote in his journal of the experience of his crew and himself after being shipwrecked on the Lequios! Pinto was traveling through the Malay Archipelago at the time and he describes the Lequios islands as belonging to large group of islands many of which were rich in gold and silver. He mentions that at that time the Portugese were familiar with Japan and China, and also with the island of "Mindanaus" or Mindanao, so the Lequois islands must have been somewhere between these two areas. Furthermore, Pinto even goes as far as to give the exact latitude of the main Lequios island. He states that is was situated at 9N20 latitude and that the island was on a merdian similar to that of Japan.

Now, in Magellan's time all exploration was done by latitude sailing and dead reckoning, as no navigational clocks were in use. Latitude sailing required fixing one's latitude precisely by means of an astrolabe. Longitude could only be approximated roughly by using a patent log to track the distance the ship has travelled in any particular direction. When Magellan began to suspect he was nearing the region of the Moluccas he deliberately steered on a north course and then turned westward at a latitude of 13 degrees North according to both Pigafetta and Albo. Pigafetta states that the reason was to get near the port of "Gaticara" which was the Cattigara mentioned by Ptolemy. In the book, Magellan's Voyage around the World, the author, Charles E. Nowell, offers another possible reason for Magellan steering so far to the north of the Moluccas. He notes that Magellan himself had rewrote part of Barbosa's book referring to the Lequios, and in his version Magellan substituted "Tarsis" and "Ofir" for the world "Lequios."

Although these lands are not mentioned in Magellan's contract, less than six years after his voyage, Sebastian Cabot signed a contract with Spain which did have as one of its objectives the "lands of Tarshish and Ophir." Magellan had been to Malacca himself, and probably many have heard of the community of Filipino workers and merchants that lived there under the protection of the king of Malacca. Probably many of you already know of the theory that Black Henry, the slave Magellan purchased at Malacca, may have belonged to the Filipino community of Malacca as he was able to speak with the natives at Limasawa. Whatever the case, we know from his own pen that Magellan thought the Lequios islands might be the same as the Biblical Tarsis and Ofir, and it may be that his idea of the position of the Lequios was partly shaped by Barbosa's book, and partly by information he may have received from Filipinos in Malacca. Was the fact that Black Henry was able to converse with the people living at the latitude given by Pinto (but not with the people of Samar or Leyte) a coincidence, or something planned in advance from information gleaned in Malacca?

Even after their discovery, many still regarded the Philippines, rich in gold and silver, to be the same as ancient Tarsis and Ofir. Father Colin, referred to them as such in the early 1600's and even at the turn of the century, the Philippine historian Pedro Paterno, still claimed that the Philippines were really Tarshish and Ophir! Whatever one thinks of these claims though, the search for the Biblical El Dorado appears to have played an important role in the European discovery of the Philippines.

Ferdinand Magellan

While in the service of Spain, the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) led the first European voyage of discovery to circumnavigate the globe.

Ferdinand Magellan was born in Oporto of noble parentage. Having served as a page to the Queen, Magellan entered the Portuguese service in the East in 1505. He went to East Africa and later was at the battle of Diu, in which the Portuguese destroyed Egyptian naval hegemony in the Arabian Sea. He went twice to Malacca, the Malayan spice port, participating in its conquest by the Portuguese. He may also have gone on an exploratory mission to the Molucca Islands (Spice Islands), the original source of some of the most valuable spices.

In 1513 Magellan was wounded in one of the many frustrating battles against the Moors in North Africa. But all of his services brought him little favor from the Crown, and in 1517, accompanied by his friend the cosmographer Ruy Faleiro, he went to Seville, where he offered his services to the Spanish court.

The famous Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) had divided the overseas world of the "discoveries" between the two powers. Portugal acquired everything from Brazil eastward to the East Indies; the Spanish hemisphere of discovery and conquest ran westward from Brazil to 134°E meridian. This eastern area had not yet been explored by the Spaniards, and they assumed that some of the Spice Islands might lie within their half of the globe. They were wrong, but Magellan's scheme was to test that assumption.

In addition it must be recalled that Columbus had made a terrible mistake, brought home by his "discovery" of America. Accepting the academic errors of learned geographers, ancient and modern, he had grossly underestimated the distance between Europe and the East (sailing westward from the former). Balboa's march across the Panamanian Isthmus had subsequently revealed the existence of a "South Sea" (the Pacific) on the other side of Columbus's "mainlands in the Ocean Sea." Thereafter, explorers eagerly sought northern and southern all-water passages across the stumbling block of the Americas; Magellan, too, sought such a passage.

Major Voyage

King Charles V of Spain (the emperor Charles V) endorsed the design of Magellan and Faleiro, and on Sept. 20, 1519, after a year's preparation, Magellan led a fleet of five ships out into the Atlantic. Unfortunately the ships - the San Antonio, Trinidad, Concepción, Victoria, and Santiago - were barely seaworthy, and the crews, including some officers, were of international composition and of dubious loyalty to their leader. With Magellan went his brother-in-law, Duarte Barbosa, and the loyal and able commander of the Santiago, João Serrão. Arriving at Brazil, the fleet sailed down the South American coast to the Patagonian bay of San Julián, where it wintered from March to August 1520. There an attempted mutiny was squelched, with only the top leaders being punished. Thereafter, however, the Santiago was wrecked, and its crew had to be taken aboard the other vessels.

Leaving San Julián, the fleet sailed southward; on Oct. 21, 1520, it entered the Strait of Magellan. It proceeded cautiously, taking over a month to pass through the strait. During this time the master of the San Antonio deserted and sailed back to Spain, and so only three of the original five ships entered the Pacific on November 28. There followed a long, monotonous voyage northward through the Pacific, and it was only on March 6, 1521, that the fleet finally anchored at Guam.

Magellan then passed eastward to Cebu in the Philippines, where, in an effort to gain the favor of a local ruler, he became embroiled in a local war and was slain in battle on April 27, 1521; Barbosa and Serrão were killed shortly thereafter. With the crew wasted from sickness, the survivors were forced to destroy

the Concepción, and the great circumnavigation was completed by a courageous former mutineer, the Basque Juan Sebastián del Cano. Commanding the Victoria, he picked up a small cargo of spices in the Moluccas, crossed the Indian Ocean, and traveled around the Cape of Good Hope from the east. With a greatly reduced crew he finally reached Seville on Sept. 8, 1522. In the meantime the Trinidad, considered unfit to make the long voyage home, had tried to beat its way against contrary winds back across the Pacific to Panama. The voyage revealed the vast extent of the northern Pacific, but the attempt failed, and the Trinidad was forced back to the Moluccas. There its crew was jailed by the Portuguese, and only four men returned after 3 years to Spain.

Magellan's project brought little in the way of material benefit to Spain. The Portuguese were well entrenched in the East, their trans-African route at that time proving to be the only feasible maritime connection to India and the Spice Islands. Charles V acknowledged the political and economic facts by selling his vague East Indian rights to Portugal, rights that were later in part resumed with the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. Yet though nearly destroying itself in the process, the Magellan fleet for the first time revealed in a practical fashion the full extent of humanity's inheritance upon this globe. And in this, its scientific aspect, it proved to be the greatest of all the "conquests" undertaken by the gold-, slave-, and spice-seeking overseas adventurers of early modern Europe.

Further Reading

A primary source is the narrative of Antonio Pigafetta, principal chronicler of the expedition, Magellan's Voyage around the World by Antonio Pigafetta, translated by James A. Robertson (2 vols., 1906). The Pigafetta translation and other source narratives are included in Charles E. Nowell, ed., Magellan's Voyage around the World: Three Contemporary Accounts (1962). The best works on Magellan, by Jean Denuce and Jose Toribio Medina, are in Spanish. In English, Francis H. H. Guillemard, The Life of Ferdinand Magellan (1890), is still good. Another study is Charles M. Parr, So Noble a Captain: The Life and Times of Ferdinand Magellan (1953; 2d ed. entitled Ferdinand Magellan, Circumnavigator, 1964). George E. Nunn, in The Columbus and Magellan Concepts of South American Geography (1932), shows the Magellan voyage to have been a logical consequence of the final views of the Columbus brothers.

Pedro Chirino

Pedro Chirino was a Spanish historian who spent 12 years in the Philippines as a Jesuit missionary at the beginning of the 17th century. He established a boarding school at Tigbauan in 1592, but the work he is most remembered for is his Relación de las Islas Filipinas (1604), a record of life in 17th century Philippines which, Historian Ambeth Ocampo notes, is highly regarded "by those reading early accounts of the Philippines, including Jose Rizal."

He recorded an example of an exorcism by a Catholic friar of a Filipino woman who had been bewitched and seized with trembling and paroxysms. Chirino wrote, "Our Brother was sent to ascertain what this disturbance meant, and when he learned what had happened, he called the husband and gave him a little piece of the "Agnus" in a reliquary, exhorting him at the same time to have faith, and promising that his wife would soon be healed.…The husband went home with the agnus, and no sooner had he applied it to his wife than she was freed of the trembling and terror and remained calm. This occurrence soon became public, and another Indian [the term "Indios" was used by the Spanish to refer to the people of the Philippines] who had been bewitched by the same Indian woman, on seeing this marvel, was convinced that God granted health to those who invoked him. Accordingly, he asked for the same relic, and he also was healed.

Father Chirino also recorded the transition of Filipino writing from the Baybayin script to the Latin alphabet.

According to ‘Pedro Chirino’ in Gregorio F. Zaide ‘History Of The Filipino People’ page 24 “Of all our languages, the Tagalog has been adjudged the best by scholars. “I found in this language,” said Padre Chirino, eminent Jesuit-historian, “four qualities of the four greatest languages of the world – Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Spanish.

ANG MARAGTAS KANG MADYA-AS The "Maragtas" legend explained that sometime between 1200-1250's; ten (10) Malay Datus' together with their families, households and subordinates fled the tyrannical rule of Makatunaw, the Shri-Vijaya Sultan of Bornay (Borneo). Led by Datu Puti, the Sultanate Minister, they landed in the Island of "Aninipay" or Panay. They bartered their gold and jewelries with the local Ati Chieftain Marikudo for the lowlands, plains and valleys of the Island they called "Madya-as" or Paradise. The land where time began; the birth of the "Ilonggo Nation" and the cradle of ancient Filipino civilization. For about 300 years before the coming of the Spaniards, the Ilonggos lived in comparative prosperity and peace under an organized government, the "Katiringban et Madia-as" or the Confederation of Madya-as and with such laws as the Code of Kalantiaw and/or the Maragtas Code of Sumakwel. The Period of emigration was later confirmed to be during the early part of the 1400's as recorded in the ancient Chinese Ming Dynasty Chronicles. (Related articles below)

Likewise, this is a shot in the arm to ilonggo believers of their glorious past & noble heritage.

Modern scholars of the 20th century re-discovered the Sri-Visjaya Kingdom and revealed traces of the

ancient origins of the Filipinos especially the Visaya and Tagalog.

Colliers Encyclopedia

1991 Edition, vol.3, p.50

Srivijaya Kingdom. In the seventh century China was reunited under T’ang Dynasty, thus providing an

enormous market. Several port-states tried to tap the China trade, but the kingdom of Srivijaya, located

near the present city of Palembang on Sumatra, succeeded in crushing its rivals and imposing its authority

on both Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula, straddling the Straits of Malacca. Through a combination of

bribery, political manipulation, and punitative expeditions the other ports were forced to submit or were

destroyed, and Srivijaya became known to the Chinese as the sole state with which they could trade.

Several extant inscriptions from the late seventh century-royal edicts carved on stones – attest to the

absolute loyalty demanded by the king of Sri-Visjaya of his servants, subjects, and vassals. Passing traders

were forced to stop at Srivijaya, where they have to pay tolls demanded by the king for passage through

the straits. From these tolls derived the royal revenues, but the tolls were kept moderate so that traders

would not consider using the more difficult land route across the Malay Peninsula. The key to Srivijaya’s

power was its navy, which was needed to destroy its rivals, Srivijayan naval expedition may even have

reached as far as Cambodia in the 8th

century, and in the 11th

century Srivijaya itself was raided from

Ceylon.

In dominating the Straits of Malacca, Srivijaya controlled one of the key points in the whole Asian trade

system. Through its empire passed all the wondrous goods desired by Asian kings and aristocrats-gems,

precious metals, scented woods, and even African lions to amuse the emperor of China-as well as the bulk

trade in such goods as rice. In the practice, of course, the dominance of Srivijaya and its successors was

often less than complete. Especially during periods when trade declined, vassals were likely to fall away as

the money and prestige offered by the king to entice their loyalty also declined. But the tradition of

central port on the straits dominating the trade routes and of a single supreme king survived for many

centuries.

By about the sixth century the economic role of Indonesia in the China trade was beginning to change. Indonesia traders began to sell the natural products of Indonesia, sometimes substituting them for the luxury goods the Chinese customarily imported from western Asia. In particular, Indonesia benzoin began to be substituted for the aromatic gum resins. Srivijaya and its successors continued to function as entrepot ports, where goods were transshipped, but the importance of Indonesia’s own products also increased. Srivijaya was a Buddhist kingdom. Indeed its religious scholarship was internationally so highly valued that

Chinese Buddhist pilgrims making the long journey to India wouldspend several years in Srivijaya. There

they studied the scriptures and rules for monks before going to India.

Srivijaya’s wealth and power, waxed and waned with changing trade condition and with the rise and fall

of its rivals. It was finally destroyed by the Javanese in the 14th

century and the royal family and the

traders of Srivijaya moved across the straits to Malaya, where eventually they established the port of

Malacca in about 1400. Srivijaya, one of the greatest trade empires of Asia, was then so completely

Page 26: The Philippines is the Ophir of the Bible

26

forgotten that even its name was unknown until its history was rediscovered by modern scholars in the

20th

century.

Mataram Kingdom. To the east of Sumatra lies Java, and there, too, a great kingdom emerged beginning

in about the eighth century. The Kingdom of Mataram, near the present city of Yogyakarta (Jogjakarta) in

central Java, reached its greatest power in the ninth century. The dynasty that founded Mataram took the

Sanskrit name Sailendra – the king of the mountains – and the title Maharaja, they were Mahayana

Buddhists. They left behind many famous temples, which their contemporaries, the kings of Srivijaya

seem not to have done. Among the most famous Mataram temples is Burabudur, which was built about

800. It is an enormous artificial temple-mountain, which miles of bas-reliefs depicting the life story of

Buddha. At the nearby temple of Merdut are large stone statues of the Buddha and two Bodhisattvas,

which are the most exquisite in all of Asia.

Sailendra power in Mataram was challenged by a rival royal line who were not Buddhists but followers of

the Hindu god Shiva. In 856 there was a battle between the two rivals, which the Sailendra lost. The last

surviving Sailendra prince fled from Java to Sumatra, where, for reasons that are not known, he become

the king of Srivijaya. His successors in Mataram built the very beautiful and graceful temple complex

Prambanan, just east of Yogyakarta. There, temples to the Hindu gods Brahma and Vishnu flank a high

central tower where Shiva was worshipped in four aspects. The bas reliefs depict the story of the Hindu

Ramayana epic.

Mataram was located on the plain of Kedu in central Java, one of the richest rice-growing areas of

Indonesia.

Original Sri-Visjaya Religion is Not Buddhist

This Sri-Visjaya Kingdom is one of the greatest trade empires of Asia. The Sri-Visjaya on the 7th century when China was reunited under the T’ang Dynasty, the Sri-Visjaya become known to the Chinese as the sole state with which they could trade. Passing traders were forced to stop at Sri-Visjaya, where they have to pay tolls demanded by the king of Sri-Visjaya for passage through the straits of Malacca. Sri-Visjaya controlled one of the key points in the whole Asian trade system.

Sri-Visjaya Religion

Sri-Visjaya’s religious scholarship was internationally so highly valued that Chinese Buddhist pilgrims

making the long journey to India would spend several years in Sri-Visjaya, there they studied the

scriptures and rules for monks before going to India. This may think that Sri-Visjaya’s religion is a

Buddhist religion. That happened when the original 7th

century Sri-Visjaya king and royal families and

traders moved across the straits to Malaya on the 8th

century where they established the port of Malacca

in about 1400 and they have trade in Borneo and Sulu ISLES AFAR OFF. A great kingdom emerged

beginning in about 8th

century the Kingdom of Mataram in central Java. The dynasty that founded

Mataram took the Sanskrit name Sailendra – the king of the mountains – and the title Maharaja, they

were Mahayana Buddhists. They left behind many famous temples, which their contemporaries, the kings

of Sri-Visjaya seem not to have done. Among the most famous Mataram temples is Burabudur, which

Page 27: The Philippines is the Ophir of the Bible

27

was built about 800. At the nearby temple of Merdut are large stone statues of the Buddha and two

Bodhisattvas, which are the most exquisite in all of Asia. A rival royal line that was not Buddhists but

followers of the Hindu god Shiva challenged Sailendra power in Mataram. In 856 there was a battle

between the two rivals, which the Sailendra lost and the last surviving Sailendra prince fled from Java to

Sumatra, where, for reasons that are not known, he become the king of Sri-Visjaya in Sumatra. Therefore

become the new king of Sri-Visjaya in Sumatra is Sailendra. This are the reasons that Sri-Visjaya’s religion

was thought to be Buddhist.

The original 7th

century Sri-Visjaya king and royal families and traders moved across the straits to Malaya

on the 8th

century where they established the port of Malacca made trade in Borneo and Sulu. The second

Sri-Visjaya of 8th

century was ruled by Sailendra a Buddhist was finally destroyed by the Javanese in the

14th

century and this people of Sri-Visjaya were different religion than the original first Sri-Visjaya of 7th

century. In fact the kingdom of Sailendra who become king of Sri-Visjaya were Mahayana Buddhist that

this Mahayana Buddhists left behind many famous temples, which their contemporaries the king of

original 7th

century Sri-Visjaya seem not to have done. Therefore the Sri-Visjaya that was defeated by the

Javanese in the 14th

century was the second Sri-Visjaya of 8th

century who become Buddhists and ruled by

king Sailendra a Mahayana Buddhists. The first Sri-Visjaya of 7th century did not make any temples of

worship and were not Buddhists and they fled to Malacca and trade with Borneo and Sulu. The historian

claiming that Sri-Visjaya is a Buddhists kingdom is referring to the second Sri-Visjaya of 8th

century that

was ruled by Sailendra a Mahayana Buddhists but not the original Sri-Visjaya of the 7th

century that

moved across the straits to Malaya on the 8th

century where they established the port of Malacca made

trade in Borneo and Sulu.

DATU from Yahshear-Dath (Sacerdote or Priest of Yahshear): Jacob named Yahshear Genesis 32:28

Bisaya and Tagalog At the same period the well-known Maragtas in Visaya’s history claimed that ten (10) Datu lead by Datu

Puti arrived in Panay and bought the plain land of Panay island. This people were called “VISAYA” the

descendant of original Sri-Visjaya of 7th

century from Borneo and Sulu. They carried the word “ya-we” in

Visaya which means “key”, this was mentioned in Luke 11:52 “woe unto you, lawyers, for ye have taken

away the “key of knowledge”, (the scribes took away the name Yahweh and replaced it with other name

Adonai, the key is the name Yahweh). The other three (3) Datu, Datu Puti, Datu Dumangsil and Datu

Balensusa reached Taal (Batangas) where the language of the three Datu believed to be the origin of

Tagalog language. The remaining seven (7) Datu in Panay they reached Cebu, Samar and Bicol. Datu Puti

last record is in Sulu before going to Borneo. The word Dawth in Hebrew language means royal edict or

statute, commandment, decree, law, manner. The Dawth is pronounced Datuh is the one who ruled and

make decree, law and a royal family in Filipino history. The title “DATU” from the word Yashear-Dath or

Sacer-dote or Priests of Yahshurun (Israel).

ESCAPED REMNANT FROM ASSYRIA SPEAKS ANCIENT-HEBREW

The Levite Priests or Sacerdote or Yahshear-Dath Kohath, Yahshear-Dath Gershon and Yahshear-Dath

Merari that was removed from the kingdom of Yisrawale that Yahweh set His hand for the FIRST TIME to

Page 28: The Philippines is the Ophir of the Bible

recover the Remnant of his people, they speak Ancient-Hebrew for they were not yet been captives by Assyrian and after that during the time of captivity in Assyria it was mentioned by Prophet Isaiah in 11:11. Isaiah 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Yahweh shall set his hand again the SECOND TIME to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

LANGUAGE DURING CAPTIVITY IS ARAMAIC SYRIAN LANGUAGE 2Kings 18:26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

THE LANGUAGE OF SRI-VISJAYA IS ANCIENT HEBREW

The First European Historian Pedro Chirino wrote that Tagalog is Hebrew When the first European set their foot in the land of Mortar (translated by Fernando Magallanes as Luzones means mortar), it was written by historian Gregorio F. Zaide in page 2 and page 24 of History of the Filipino People, that Padre Chirino an eminent Jesuit historian found in Tagalog language that “it has the Mystery and obscurities of the Hebrew language”. According to Merriam-Webster International Unabridged dictionary that the Tagalog language and Visaya language comes from one group of language called Tagala that is branch-language of ancient Malay- Javanese language Kawi which is now extinct. The Tagalog language has 30,000 root words, 700 affixes, and root words which are famous about 5,000 words from Spanish, 3,200 from Malay- Indonesia, 1,500 words from Hebrew, 1,300 words from English, 300 from Sanskrit, 250 from Arabic and very few words from Persian, Japanese, Russian. The Latin language was influenced from Spanish and English. The language of Visaya and Tagalog has many similarities about 3,800 well known words are the same and similar in usage. The Hiligaynon is the language of Visaya is also like the Higaynon in Hebrew word means “solemn sound”. The word “ya-wa” means a cursing word means evil, while “wa” means “not in you” in Visayan language. The word ‘ya” in Hebrew means “Yah” the short form of the name of the Mighty One of Yahshurunites (Israelites). Therefore the meaning of “ya-wa” means “Yahweh is not in you” or “evil” which is also a curse word in Hebrew language. The word ‘po’ derived from ‘ho’is an ancient primitive Hebrew words were being mentioned in all dialects of the Philippines.

The Title “SRI” become “Si” The word “Sri” comes from Indian language means Prince, Holiness and a word of praise and respect to respectable and honorable person in India. The word “Vis” means Spirit in Samsi English Dictionary. Therefore the meaning of Sri-Vis-Jaya is “Prince or Holiness Spirit of Jaya”. In the Philippine History when Fernando Magallanes (Ferdinand Magellan) reached the soil of now the Philippines he met for blood-compact the brother of Raja Kulambo of Limasawa that person is called “Si”- Agu (Siagu). Notice also the name Si-Malakas, Raja Si-Lapulapu. This was written by Historian Teodoro A. Agoncillo 1974 edition page 35 and 36 Filipino History. “Si” is the same as the “Sri” in Sri- Visjaya is a title of honorable person, which means Prince or Holiness.

Escaped Remnant Relations with India

During Romans Empire the Messiah of Nazareth appeared in Yahrusalem and gave instructions to his 12

disciples in Matthew 10:5-6 “These twelve Yahshu’a sent fort, and commanded them, saying, Go not into

the way of the Gentiles (uncircumcised), and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to

the lost sheep of the house of Israel”. In Bible Dictionary of the Holy Bible of 1864 the Apostle Thomas

was in India and mentioned that he was speared to death by King Misdeus of India. This is an evidence

that the Apostles were looking for the lost tribe of Israel in India. In book of Ester 1:1, India was

mentioned the furthest place controlled by Kingdom of Persia before Greek and Roman Empires.

The Holy Koran

In Holy Koran the name of John the son of ZechariYah the priest is called Yahya (please see copy of Sura:

Mary ). In Medina the city of Yathrib where residing the tribe of Yahuwdah (Jews) called “Ansar”. This was

about before 622 AD. The Prophet of Islam religion Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon Him) married

KhadiYah a widow from Syria and they reside together with the Ansar people in Medina the city of

Yathrib. The name Yahya was famous and it was a name of a Yahuwdi (Jewish) person and the name of

the son of the Levite Priest ZechariYah and Elizabeth the great granddaughter of Aaron the High Priest-the

elder brother of Moses. At that time the Arab people were not yet converted into Mohammed religion

and therefore the name YahYa is a Hebrew name not an Arabic name.

The Holy Bible

In the New Testament of the Bible a person with a name John (Yahya) is the same name whom the

Messiah of Nazareth says that person will not die until Yahshu’a Messiah comes again, John 21:21-23

“Peter seeing him saith to Yahshu’a, ‘Yahshu’a and what shall this man do’? Yahshu’a saith unto him, If I

will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me” Then went this saying abroad among

the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Yahshu’a said not unto him, he shall not die; but, if I

will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

The letter J

The Encyclopedia Americana contains the following on the J:

“The form of J was unknown in any alphabet until the 14th

century. Either symbol (J, I) used initially

generally had the consonantal sound of Y as in year. Gradually, the two symbols (J, I) were differentiated,

the J usually acquiring consonantal force and thus becoming regarded as a consonant, and the I becoming

a vowel. It was not until 1630 that the differentiation became general in England.”

The letter J was invented in 1633 AD about 376 years ago there is no letter “J”, and the letter J comes

from letter Y and read as ‘y’. If the name of John is YahYa whom Yahshu’a Messiah said will be alive until

Yahshu’a comes back, the name Sri-Vis-Jaya is supposed to be Sri-Vis YahYa.

SEARCH FOR OPHIR

Chryse, the "Golden One," is the name given by ancient Greek writers to an island rich in gold to the east

of India. Pomponius Mela, Marinos of Tyre and the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea mention Chryse in the

first century CE. It is basically the equivalent of the Indian Suvarnadvipa the "Island of Gold." Josephus

calls it in Latin Aurea, and equates the island with biblical Ophir, from where the ships of Tyre and

Solomon brought back gold and other trade items.

Chryse is often coupled with another island Argyre the "Island of Silver" and placed beyond the Ganges.

Ptolemy locates both islands east of the Khruses Kersonenson the "Golden Peninsula" i.e. the Malaya

Penisula. North of Chryse in the Periplus was Thin, which some consider the first European reference to

China.

In addition to gold, Chryse was also famed for having the finest tortoise shell in the world according to the

Periplus. Large ships brought trade goods back and forth between Chryse and the markets at the mouth

of the Ganges.

Chin-lin

In ancient Chinese literature, a mysterious region beyond their southern border in Annam was known as

Chin-lin "Golden Neighbor" and the Southeast Asian border was also called the "Golden Frontier."

When China invaded Annam (northern Vietnam) in the first century BCE, the kingdom of Champa fortified

villages along the old caravan trail. This path became Route Colonial 9 during the French colonial period,

and it was used by the Americans to build the McNamara Line of fortified bases during the Vietnam War.

With this fortified line, the rugged Central Highlands and a policy of constant piracy, the Champa kingdom

held the Chinese at bay for a thousand years. After the fall of the Chin dynasty in the 5th century, Cham

raids on Tongking became so frequent that the governor appealed to the emperor for assistance. A war of

attrition between China and Champa began that lasted until the rise of the T'ang dynasty.During this time

though, China was well aware of the golden lands far to the south. The Buddhist pilgrim I-Tsing mentions

Chin-Chou "Isle of Gold" in the archipelago south of China on his way back from India.

Zabag and Wakwak

The kingdoms of Zabag and Wakwak, famed among the medieval Muslims as rich in gold, referred to the

eastern islands of the Malay archipelago i.e. the Philippines and Eastern Indonesia.

Zabag was based in what would later become the kingdom of Lusung. In this sense, the Philippines fits the

bill as a gold-rich realm. The country has consistently ranked second in the world behind only South Africa

in gold deposits per land area. The Philippines has historically been the largest producer of gold in Asia

despite its relatively small size and the fact that until 1980 most gold was obtained only through small

alluvial deposits.

Although some ancient gold artifacts have been found in this region, they don't match the age suggested

Page 31: The Philippines is the Ophir of the Bible

31

by linguistic reconstruction. Gold may have been mostly handed down from generation to generation

rather than being used as a burial good item.

In about the second century CE, there arose a practice of using gold eye covers, and then, gold facial

orifice covers to adorn the dead resulting in an increase of ancient gold finds. More than a millennium

later, the popularity of dental gold to decorate the teeth significantly increased the amount of gold found

at archaeological sites.

When the Spanish came they discovered an abundance of gold used among the people of the Philippine

islands. Here are some relevant quotes:

Pieces of gold, the size of walnuts and eggs are found by sifting the earth in the island of that king who

came to our ships. All the dishes of that king are of gold and also some portion of his house as we were

told by that king himself...He had a covering of silk on his head, and wore two large golden earrings

fastened in his ears...At his side hung a dagger, the haft of which was somewhat long and all of gold, and

its scabbard of carved wood. He had three spots of gold on every tooth, and his teeth appeared as if

bound with gold.

Pigafetta on Raja Siaui of Butuan during Magellan's voyage

For brass, iron and other weighty articles, they gave us gold in exchange...For 14 pounds of iron we

received 10 pieces of gold, of the value of a ducat and a half. The Captain General forbade too great an

anxiety for receiving gold, without which order every sailor would have parted with all he had to obtain

this metal, which would have ruined our commerce forever.

Pigafetta on gold trade in Cebu

Sailing in this manner, for some time, in 16° of north latitude, they were obliged by continual contrary

winds, to bear up again for the Philippine islands, and in their way back, had sight of six or seven

additional islands, but did not anchor at any of them. They found also an archipelago, or numerous cluster

of islands, in 15 or 16 degrees of north latitude, well inhabited by a white people, with beautiful well-

proportioned women, and much better clothed than in any other of the islands of these parts; and they

had many golden ornaments, which was a sure sign that there was some of that metal in their country.

Antonio Galvão in 1555 describing the journey of Bartholomew de la Torre in 1548

"...the ore is so rich that I will not write any more about it, as I might possibly come under a suspicion of

exaggerating; but I swear by Christ that there is more gold on this island than there is iron in all Biscay."

Hernando Riquel et al., 1574

In this island, there are many gold mines, some of which have been inspected by the Spaniards, who say

that the natives work them as is done in Nueva Espana with the mines of silver; and, as in these mines,

the vein of ore here is continous. Assays have been made, yielding so great wealth that I shall not

endeavor to describe them, lest I be suspected of lying. Time will prove the truth.

Page 32: The Philippines is the Ophir of the Bible

32

Hernando Riquel et al. on island of Luzon, 1574

There are some chiefs in this island who have on their persons ten or twelve thousand ducats' worth of

gold in jewels--to say nothing of the lands, slaves, and mines that they own. There are so many of these

chiefs that they are innumerable. Likewise the individual subjects of these chiefs have a great quantity of

the said jewels of gold, which they wear on their persons--bracelets, chains, and earrings of solid gold,

daggers of gold, and other very rich trinkets. These are generally seen among them, and not only the

chiefs and freemen have plenty of these jewels, but even slaves possess and wear golden trinkets upon

their persons, openly and freely.

Guido de Lavezaris at al., 1574

About their necks they wear gold necklaces, wrought like spun wax, and with links in our fashion, some

larger than others. On their arms they wear armlets of wrought gold, which they call calombigas, and

which are very large and made in different patterns. Some wear strings of precious stones--cornelians and

agates; and other blue and white stones, which they esteem highly. They wear around the legs some

strings of these stones, and certain cords, covered with black pitch in many foldings, as garters.

Antonio de Morga, 1609

"... the natives proceed more slowly in this ,and content themselves with what they already possess in

jewels and gold ingots handed down from antiquity and inherited from their ancestors. This is

considerable, for he must be poor and wrethced who has no gold chains, calombigas, and earrings."

Antonio de Morga, 1609

The Portugese explorer Pedro Fidalgo in 1545 found gold so abundant on Luzon the inhabitants were

willing to trade two pezoes of gold for one pezo of silver.

When the Portuguese first arrived, most of the gold traded into Brunei came from Luzon. That island was

known as Lusung Dao or "Golden Luzon" to the Chinese who also traded for gold in this region.

Mines Dating Back to at Least 1,000 B.C. Have Been Found in the Philippines

According to De Morga: (1,000 B.C. is when King Solomon’s navy of ships going to Ophir for gold)

Mines dating back to at least 1,000 B.C. have been found in the Philippines. When the Spanish arrived the Filipinos worked various mines of gold, silver, copper and iron. They also seemed to have worked in brass using tin that was likely imported from the Malay Peninsula. The iron work in particular was said to be of very high quality in some cases, and occasionally in some areas, even better than that found in Europe.

When the Spanish arrived, the Philippines was so gilded with gold that most of the gold mines had been neglected. "... the natives proceed more slowly in this, and content themselves with what they already possess in jewels and gold ingots handed down from antiquity and inherited from their ancestors. This is considerable, for he must be poor and wrethced who has no gold chains, calombigas, and earrings."

As the missionary Francisco Colín wrote in 1663:

In the punishment of crimes of violence the social rank of the slayer and slain made a great deal of difference. If the slain was a chief, all his kinsfolk took the warpath against the slayer and his kinfolk, and this state of war continued until arbiters were able to determine the amount of gold which had to be paid for the killing… The death penalty was not imposed by public authority save in cases where both the slayer and slain were commoners, and the slayer could not pay the blood price.

Blair and Robertson, Vol. II, p. 116.

Legazpi describes one of the "Moro" pilots captured from Butuan:

"...a most experienced man who had much knowledge, not only of matters concerning these Filipinas Islands, but those of Maluco, Borney, Malaca, Jaba, India, and China, where he had had much experience in navigation and trade."

According to Pigafetta:

However, things seem to already diminished from Pigafetta's time:

"On the island [Butuan] where the king came to the ship, pieces of gold as large as walnuts or eggs are to be found, by sifting the earth. All the dishes of the king are of gold, and his whole house is very well set up."

Pigafetta goes on to describe the huge gold ornaments, gold dagger handles, tooth plating and even gold that was used to decorate the outside of houses! On the gold work of the Filipinos is this description of the people of Mindoro: ( copied by Israel recorded in 1Chronicles 29:4 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal)

"...they possess great skill in mixing it [gold] with other metals. They give it an outside appearance so natural and perfect, and so fine a ring, that unless it is melted they can deceive all men, even the best of silversmiths."

Apparently, even foreigners desired Filipino gold products. Recent discoveries show that gold jewelry of Philippine origin was found in Egypt near the beginning of the era. These finds are mentioned in Laszlo Legeza's "Tantric elements in pre-Hispanic Philippines Gold Art," (Arts of Asia, Jul-Aug 1988, p. 131) along a discussion of Philippine Tantric art. Some outstanding examples of Philippine jewelry, which included necklaces, belts, armlets and rings placed around the waist, are showcased in J. T. Peralta's "Prehistoric gold ornaments from the Central Bank of the Philippines," Arts of Asia 1981, no.4, p.54.
