«Tartessos».
Evidently by influence of the Cultural Pact, the alliance between my population and the
Lydian culminated in a civilizing explosion. Thereupon the Seigniory of Tharsis was converted
in the «Kingdom of Tartessos» and, in a few centuries, it expanded through all Andalusia: the
Tartessians founded then important cities, as Maenace, today called Torre del Mar, or Masita,
which the usurper Carthaginensis renamed as Carthage, Cartagena. The fleet reached to be such
powerful as the Phoenician and its commerce, highly competitive for the best quality of the
products, achieved to put in grave danger the economy of the red men. Recently since the IV
B.C century, due to the Greek colonization and the expansion of the Phoenician colony of
Carthage, declined a little the commercial and maritime Mediterranean supremacy of the
«Tartessians».
I must insist that the fact of being close relatives facilitated enormously, in the
integration with the Pelasgians. That could be specially proved in the case of the Cult, where
there was almost no difference between the two populaces because the Lydian worshipped also
the Goddess of Fire, who they knew as Belilith. In few words: for the Lydian, Beleno was «Bel»,
and Belisana was «Belilith»; also, because they came from a region where the Cultural Pact had
major influence, presented some differences in the language and in the sacred alphabet; the
ancient Pelasgian language, that in my was still spoken with great purity, had suffered in the
Lydian the influence of the Semitic and Asiatic languages: however, that sailor jargon, was more
adequate for the overseas commerce that they practiced. The other difference was in the
alphabet: since thousands years that my people had forgotten the Language of the Birds;
however, the last Initiates, and the Priests of the Flame, conserved the sacred alphabet of
thirteen plus three Vrunes, which they represented with sixteen signs formed by straight lines
and had associated with a common language: in this way was disposed from thirteen
consonants and three vowels; the vowels were only known by the Lords of Tharsis because they
expressed the Pelasgian Name, secret, of the Goddess Moon, something like Loa; well: the
newness that brought the Lydian was a sacred alphabet composed by thirteen plus five letters,
i.e., by eighteen signs which represented quite sounds of the common language; they had also
thirteen consonants, but the vowels were five: and, the two added, the Lydian could not
suppress them anymore without losing more than the half of their words. The most important
of all this, something that would have to be agreed immediately, was the Name of the Goddess
and the number of the sacred alphabet. In regard to the first, it was agreed to refer to the
Goddess in the successive by an older Name, which was common to the two populaces: Pyrene;
since then, Belisena and Belilith, would be for the Tartessians the Goddess of Fire Pyrene.
Referring to the second, the Lords of Tharsis, who were affected in that moment by the
enemy pressure, they had no other choice than to accept the imposition of the sacred alphabet
of eighteen letters: the only solace, they said with irony, consisted in that «the number
eighteen was most pleasant for the Goddess than the sixteen».
Otherwise, the Lydian had suffered a similar luck to my people. In some moment of
their history they were defeated by the War Fatigue and finally yielded to the populaces of the
Cultural Pact; the last of their Initiates achieved then to impress the «familiar missions» even
in a highest number of Lineages than those that existed amongst my people: that explained the
enormous amount of families of artisans, specialized in the most varied occupations, that
integrated the population of the Lydian.
