Abstract
It is most often admitted that a comparison between languages with the aim of detecting a parental link is all
the more relevant as this study takes into account the syntax, the lexical comparison must therefore be carried
out according to methods which do themselves appeal to specialized disciplines of linguistics. Yet the simple
approach chosen here by the author has been to use words which are not part of secular life, but which are
linked to symbols of sacred science. The divine authority has maintained itself there through language, it has
asserted itself there in the continuity of speech. It is that the sacred word itself contains the god.
To express badly is to oppose divine or ancestral directives, or worse it is to kill the god or the ancestor, and
therefore to risk punishment. To declare well is to solicit benevolence and see the reward. Languages are
spoken by humans, who live with their religious feelings and their view of the world.
Humans living around 2300-2000 BC in Western Europe spoke sacred languages which appear to be related to
Sumerian and Akkadian, this despite the geographical distance between western Europe and the Mesopotamia.
May be there is a link with the expansion of Beaker culture, and the search for copper and tin by the
Mesopotamians.

It is accepted that the megalithic monuments appear in the 5th millennium BC, between 4700 and 4000, but
it is remarkable that the period of expansion is between 2400 and 2100, when the cultures of Sumer and
Akkad flourish in Mesopotamia.
It is on the Atlantic side of Europe that the constructions are the most complex, - Knowth, Newgrange,
Slewcairn, Stonehenge, Carnac...The groups are also numerous in the Mediterranean and Central Europe.

The writing appears around 3300 BC in Sumer, around 3200 in Egypt, and around 2500 in the Indus.
At the same time, copper metallurgy developed and reached a high degree of technicality in
Mesopotamia, in the Turkish peninsula, bordering the Black Sea, in Rhodes, in Persia, in Egypt, in India,
then extended: around 2500 in Siberia and China, and to the north-west: the campaniform or
blacksmith-shepherd groups of Europe. Around 2800, the first 10% tin bronze objects were placed near
the deceased in the tombs of Ur.

Archaeological and paleo-metallurgical research makes it possible to compare the development of societies in distant
geographical areas which present similar metallurgical situations. Special ecological conditions and migrations of
metallurgists mastering bronze technology favored the development of these societies. Bronze is an alloy of copper
and tin, more fluid than copper when it is molten, and harder when it is cold. This is why the search for tin was a
necessity for the development of the first great empires. In the 3rd millennium, known deposits were rare: Malaysia,
China, Bolivia, Spain, Cornwall, Bohemia, Nigeria. It is with these regions that trade currents would have developed
from 2500. The routing circuits and the relays on these routes remain poorly known, even if the writing that appeared
at this time allows the first accounts of wars waged with bronze weapons, and palace constructions featuring bronze.

It is believed that the work of Stonehenge, England,- henge, ditch, embankment, earth levee -, was carried out
between 3100 and 1100 BC, on a site dating from the 5th
millenium. The pit was probably dug using red deer
antlers.
Around 3000 years before our era, stakes are driven into the ground, forming a sanctuary, a semi-circle or a
half-moon:
while in Sumer the semi-circle depicts GAM: the manifested universe, which curves, curves, and the round
circle:
In Sumer, the arcs represent the Totality, the universe, the secret, the mystery, the sunset, god ADAD:
In Uruk, at the same period, the blazing sun, sunrise and sunset, daytime god UTU are depicted in opposing
secant arcs:
The major megalithic phase of Stonehenge, -2400-2200 BC -, is when the dynasties of Sargon and his
followers were at the height of Mesopotamia. A complete circle of stones that could constitute an
astronomical observatory was erected during this period at Stonehenge, some in sandstone, called Sarsen

5. 5
stones, weighing 20 to 50 tons were transported over 40 kms. The name Sarsen would have its origin in the
word saracen: buckwheat, ethnonym of orientalist type. We prefer the older Sumerian terms šar: Totality,
god implored, depicted in classical Sumerian by a pictogram in the shape of a circle, and šar 4 or man which
evolved into neo-Akkadian into šarru: sun king -, and šen: clear, pure, copper container for religious service.
Šennu expresses the ideas of wise priest-counselor, rite, prescription, oracle, exorcism, taboos, of azag:
disease, demon, and… of me-zé: bagpipe, which was already played at Stonehenge with deer bones and
antlers:
In Sumerian sar expresses an area with an area of 36 m2, - in Sumer, the number 3,600 has the same sign as
šar: Totality -.
According to this analysis, the sacred Sarsen stones-symbols had healing powers, a therapeutic or conjuring
interest, which corresponds to the theses of researchers Darvil and Wainwright in 2008, and served as
supports for the priest's copper office objects with which šar 8: he interpreted, explained.
Stones, known as "blue stones" and weighing about 4 tons, were transported from the distant Prescelly
Mountains. These stones were erected two by two, in the form of portals oriented according to the summer
and winter solstices. Then the semicircle was completed with its opposite:
form that evokes the pictogram of Sumer depicting the place of the foundation, of the seat where one
approaches the god. It is in the circle that man establishes a sacred link to the spiritual world and to the
cosmos. It is the meeting place of men and spirits. The one where the relationship is established between the
dead that we would like to see revived, and the moon, which is the symbol of periodic rebirth. The stones
represent the ancestors, the place is imbued with mystical energy, the monument is a symbol of immensity
and eternity. Small stones were used by pilgrims as lucky charms or talisman.
The structure of the fertility rites probably celebrated at Stonehenge at the solstices is certainly close to that
of ancient heroic myths: nativity, sacrifice, death and resurrection.
In Sumer, the old pictogram of Djemdet Nasr showing the incantation is:
while in Uruk that of matter: clod or block of earth, is depicted by:
Later at Stonehenge, the sacred circle of stones is doubled inside a circle of standing stakes:

whereas in Sumer the vast cosmic ocean is described as a sheepfold, circular "like the halo of the moon", and
that šeš: the spiritual brother, complementary opposite, is a source of true light in the heart of oneself, like an
inexhaustible source in the darkness of the new moon.
Eclipse on Stonehenge
Perhaps we should make the assumption of encounters between the megalithic civilization and Sumer? In
Sumer, túl (-l): pit, lowland; túl expresses the ideas of a well, a fountain of energy. The sign evolved
between 2500 and 2300 in the following forms:
The central point, the circle, the half-ring or the line, the cavity, or the mine express to Sumer and Akkad the
mystery of the Totality: god Šar or Aššur from whom the officiant asks for favors; the fountain of energy
which gushes out in matter, god Marduk, god Adad, god of the sun Šamaš; relationship to the Living, to
immortality; in Akkadian Šar šâru: Totality, portrayed by a point:
In Akkad, túl (-l) is the pit where the One is rakāsu: obligatory link, as is the ox of the legend of Etana,
nahāsu: demoted, kamû: chained in the crucible of matter:
Akkadian tul gives the idea of covering, closing; it is the same sign as tillu which gives the idea of clusters,
heaps, hills; du 6-kù dû: cella of a temple.
It is a cult of the dead associated with a solar cult which is said to have presided over the building of
Stonehenge. There is a connection between the place and the summer and winter solstices. The sun at the
solstice is visible in the space bounded by the two main vertical stones of the trilith, which symbolizes the
door to the realm of the hereafter, of the gods and of the spirits. The mystical observer is faced with beauty,
he has the feeling of the passage towards the unspeakable, the supernatural.
A burial has been unearthed 5 km from Stonehenge. The corpse exhumed is that of a 30 to 35 year old man
who was named the "archer" or "king of Stonehenge" because he lived during the time of the main building
of the stones. The body is dated 2300 BCE, and the tomb contains two braids of gold hair dated circa 2400,

7. 7
copper swords, and a hundred other objects. The copper was mined not from Ireland as it was first thought,
but from Aquitaine or the west coast of Spain. According to isotope analyzes carried out on the teeth of the
deceased, this man was from continental Europe, more precisely from the Swiss region. He was a
representative of a new culture characterized by copper metallurgy and horse training. He had the
consideration and prestige accorded to magicians, for he appears to have been one of the forerunners who
brought copper metallurgy to the British Isles. He would have been one of those men who mastered these
techniques in continental Europe, like others elsewhere in Asia and Africa. This archer has been an active
witness to the spread of Beaker culture originating from the continent, characterized by styles of pottery,
barbed arrowheads, copper knives, gold ornaments:
Arrows found in the burial of the archer at Stonehenge
In the Middle East and in the Eastern Mediterranean, this period is that of Akkadian civilization, but also of
the Minoan civilization (2600 BC and after) of metallurgy in Anatolia (2300). The archer of Stonehenge and
the objects placed in the tomb are said to be evidence of a vast network of exchanges during the early
Bronze Age.
Today, the archaic site of Stonehenge is the object of a deep veneration, as well as the alignments of Carnac
in France which were also drawn up from 2500 to 2300 before our era. Another site among the most
imposing megalithic sites is that of Drochead Atha in Ireland (2500 BC), identified as the Brú, the palace of
old Celtic legends, comprising a series of passage dolmens.

3000 years before our era, stakes are stuck in the ground, forming a sanctuary, a semicircle or a half-moon,
while in Sumer the semicircle depicts gam: the manifested universe, symbolically born of a point and which
curves.
In Sumer, the arcs represent the Totality, the universe, the secret, the mystery, the sunset, god Adad. In
Uruk, at the same period, the blazing sun, sunrise and sunset, daytime god Utu are depicted in opposing
secant arcs.
A complete circle of stones that could constitute an astronomical observatory was erected during this period
at Stonehenge, stones from the place called Sarsen.
- Sarsen: It was said that the name Sarsen would have its origin in the word saracen: buckwheat,
ethnonym of orientalist type. We prefer Sumerian terms:
. Sar: Totality, god implored, portrayed in classical Sumerian by a pictogram in the shape of a circle, and sar
4 or man which evolved into neo-Akkadian into sarru: sun king -.
In Sumer, sar expresses an area of 36 m2, and the number 3,600 in the base 60 accounting system has the
same sign as sar.
The sacred Sarsen stone symbols of the British Isles had healing powers, therapeutic or conjuring interest,
according to the theses of researchers Darvil and Wainwright in 2008, and served as supports for the priest's
copper office objects. In Sumer, sar 8: the priest interceded, explained.

antlers).
- Dolmen: megalithic monument in the shape of a table which served as a burial place. The dolmens, like
the menhirs and the cromlechs, are not Celtic contrary to a widespread belief, they are testimonies of the
spiritual and symbolic universe of the Neolithic sedentary communities, characteristic of the farmers of the
megalithic civilization. In Breton, taol, tol: table + maen, mein, men: stone; dolmen: stone table. Perhaps
from across the Channel: Cornish tolmen: circle of stones, or stone with holes. Or dolmin: large stone that
covers the monument.

At the western tip of Cornish country, Lands End, Great Britain, at a place called Botallack there was a mine
with half a mile tunnels extending under the sea. During its life, the mine produced around 20,000 tonnes of
copper and 14,500 tonnes of tin. An estimated 1.5 million tonnes of waste was dug up with the minerals.
Some archaeological evidence suggests that production has started since the Bronze Age. In Cornwall, some
mining operations are dated to around 2150 BC, others are older.
We defend the hypothesis that the Sumerians and / or Akkadians came to seek and exploit in Western
Europe copper and tin, minerals found in insufficient quantity in the Near East.
Cornwall
- Botallack: The place called Botallack is named in Cornish Bostalek: the leader's house, a very well
located house:
Akkadian :
.buštu = brtu : well, hole, pit, well diggers; púš: strengthening, narrow part.
.túl = lak = lag: clods blocks of earth, collect, dilute blocks, wash them.
.alku : to proceed, to do service, = ilku : services performed for a higher authority.

12. 12
Botallack
-Sennen cove: Half a mile west of Botallack and eight miles from Penzance (penn: head, sans: holy,
= holly headland) is the Crowns Mine, Cornwall's most spectacular tin and copper mine, set high above a
rock face.
It has been said that the name of the village Sennen would originate from the name of the saint Senana, but it
seems that this saint was chosen in the 6th century by the inhabitants to find a patron saint. This name
Sennen is probably much older. In Cornish, Sennen is Sen Senan, or Sen Senana: holy (sans) + vale (nans):
valley or jubilant place, paradise.
Akkadian:
.šennu: = še-en šen, še-e-nu, ša-an-nu-um: brass, copper instruments. Example: " mri… ša ina "na" še-en-ni
ellu irm", which corresponds to the Sumerian dumu uridu.šen.GAM.kù.ga a.tu 5.mu.
- Carn Gloose or Carn Gluze (gloose: jubilant), South of Cape Cornwall, is also known as “Ballowall
Barrow”. It is a large cairn chambered above the sea with a view of Sennen, a "round cairn". This burial
chamber was used throughout the Neolithic and Middle Bronze Age. The chambered tomb is capped with a
granite lintel, and inside the cairn there is a central mound.
.Gluze:
.Sumerian:
.gu-ul: to be exalted, great, to enlarge.
.gùl: to overwelm.
.gul: enormous.
.Akkadian:

13. 13
.kullu: to handle a tool, to hold physically an object, to hold authority
Example : kul-lu š mim-ma TUK TUK.
.Ballowall:
.Sumerian:
.bal: to dig up, to dig out a ditch, to quarry, to tear down.
.bala: contribution to the state, the authority.
.bal: to demolish, to deliver, to transfer, to transport.
.bal-bal: to revolve, to deliver, to dig; dúb-dúb: to mark in hollow.
Ballowal's entrance tomb on the cliffs is a complex of burial mounds and cistus from different periods,
spanning the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, and the only one of its kind in Cornwall. It has remained hidden
under the rubble of nearby mining activity for centuries.
Carn Gluze, also known as Ballowall Barrow
The elongated main burial chamber is one of the largest of the region, and sits roughly in the center of the
remains of a stony cairn containing two concentric interior dry stone walls. Around it are a number of stone
chambers. Two other rectangular burial pits complete the collection.
The elevated and exposed location was used for burial and ritual, the entrance faces south-west towards the
setting sun.
Recent fieldwork in the Isles of Scilly indicates that the island graves were derived from those on the
mainland, and not the other way around as previously thought. As the islanders were not colonized until
around 2230 BC, by a group of farmers of Beaker's successors, it follows that the mainland tombs are
probably older than 2500 BC.
-Scilly islands:
There is isotopic evidence to support that the tin ingots found off Israel were supplied by Cornwall. Direct
archaeological evidence for the presence of Akkadians is, however, non-existent in Cornwall. But Great
Britain is a place proposed for the Cassiterides, the "Tin Islands" mentioned by Herodote. A clue that shows
that the Greeks, and before them probably the Akkadians, knew that tin came from somewhere beyond
Western Europe.
Perhaps the trade with Great Britain was indirect and under the control of the Spanish merchants. Or that the
production of Cornish tin and copper was in the hands of the people of Cornwall, and its transport to the
Mediterranean was organized by local merchants, by sea and then by land through France.
Tin is one of the first metals to be mined in Great Britain. Chalcolithic metallurgists discovered that putting
5-20% tin in molten copper produced a bronze alloy, harder than copper. The oldest tin-bronze mine was in
Turkey around 3500 BC. In Great Britain a tin trade developed towards the end of the 3rd millennium ad
with the civilizations of the Mediterranean, for the manufacture of arrows and weapons in bronze.
.Scilly: the basement of the Scilly islands is quite weak in copper and tin. Yet:

Akkadian :
.šlu = ši-il-li: cavity, hollow, lead, perforation. The same epigraphic sign designates buštu (see
above : Bostalek).
.sil : si-il : to cut into, to divide ; sila = si + l : to penetrate, to pierce.
.šilthu : si-il-ta-hi : arrow. Urudu qa-an sil-li šil-ta-hu : copper or bronze arrowhead.
.Cassiterides: (greek: kassiteros: tin.)
Akkadian :
.kašitu : kà-š : achievement, = kašadu : to reach, arrive, conquer, obtain, to get hold of.
Sumerian kaš-si 4: reddish-brown beer, kaš-sig 5: good beer.

Addendum: The Gauls were going, according to Cicero, "to reap the fields of their neighbors in arms." The
raids of these Gauls, who were the first to sack Rome, were known until Greece and Turkey under the name
of Galataï. The name Gauls could have a kinship with the Sumerian gul: to plunder, to raid, to destroy.
.Galataï:
.Akkadien galâtu: to be afraid, to tremble.
The Gauls named their god Toutatis, which means "god of the tribe". A tribe therefore had a protective,
tutelary god, who often was not to be named for fear that he would be called upon by the enemy.
.Toutatis could refer to:
.Sumerian Tu or Tu-Tu: incantation, exorcism, invocation to ward off Tu: disease.
God Tu-Tu.
.Tis: One, = Anu: Akkadian god of the sky.
The Gallic ceremonies were most often celebrated in the Nemeton: sacred spaces, forest glades. Gaelic
nemed: sacred, Celtic: nemeton, Breton neved: sanctuary.
.Nemeton:
.sumerian: nam-tar: destiny, nam: religious service.
.akkadian:
.nmettu = ne-me-et-tam: complaint, seat for kings, throne, sanctuary; term related to the
observation of stars and planets.
.nêmequ: wisdom, scholar, saint, linked to ideas of divine decision, victory over disease,
sacrifice to the solar disk.
.nêmedu: support, is the same sign as sanctuary, praise, cornerstone.
