TURKEY HAS NO RIGHT TO ISSUE NAVTEX INNTHE AEGEAN

 CLAIMS BY TURKEY ARE ILLEGAL AND IMPERIALISTIC

 In maritime contexts, NAVTEX (NAVegational TEXt) is an international, automated medium-frequency service that provides ships with essential Marine Safety Information (MSI), including weather forecasts, navigational warnings, and search and rescue notices. 

Each signatory country to this service is allocated a portion of maritime area to control and issue warnings to International shipping.  The organisation overseeing this system is the IHO (International Hydrographic Organisation) which has 102 member states including Greece and Turkey. As a result the two countries are obliged to control their portion of maritime area. The IHO has drawn and published detailed maps of the areas allocated to each country and these are easily checked by anybody. We show below the map referring to the East Mediterranean.

During the latest NAVAREA meeting, Greece was asked to control the North Eastern area of Libya.

The map was published after the meeting of  THE NAVAREA III NAVTEX SERVICE NATIONAL CO-ORDINATORS MEETING IHB, PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO, 18-19 JANUARY 2006.

Let's explain the map:

Red lines: The lines enclosing a country's area of control.

Red dots: The stations which issue NAVTEX.  

By closing-in we can see the responsibility areas of Greece and Turkey as set by IHO.      

GREECE        

Lemnos for North Aegean 

Heraklion for South Aeggean 

Corfu for South Adriatic and Ionian Seas                                                                               

TURKEY                            

Istanbul

: Serves the Sea of Marmara and western Black Sea

Samsun: covers the Black Sea

Izmir: broadcasts for the Aegean borders

Antalya:Provides warnings for the Mediterranean Sea          

It is, therefore, not possible for Turkey to issue NAVTEX for areas in Greece's responsibility; no ifs no buts no coconuts.

COMPRENDS?

HOW GREEK AM I?

 At last, my genealogy roots revealed

 I recently found out about this website which connects modern DNA with historical-ancient DNA. The results were astonishing.

The website is called MY TRUE ANCESTRY and is absolutelyfree.  You upload your raw data from any  DNA website and the engine shows you the results. 

To get your raw DNA data from Ancestry, log in to your account, go to your DNA Settings, and click "Download DNA Data" in the Test Management section. You will need to enter your password, check a consent box, and verify via email to receive a download link, which can take up to 24 hours.                       from GOOGLE AI

You will then go to TRUE ANCESTRY where you will follow the apropriate steps.

Below I am showing my results as a wheel according to Ethnicity and percentage DNA matches with ancient populations. At the end of the wheel there is a group of populations too small which are  shown separately.

I was not surprised that there is no evidence of any Slavic or African DNA present. This ties up with the findings of many international studies

I should say that these results completly tie up with the results I got from Ancestry (where I got my raw data from)  and no wonder that Ancestry says I am 50% Italian, although this is a generalised result.

To see the significance of the deep search by TRUE ANCESTRY look at the list of populations below the wheel.

LIST OF POPULATIONS

Hellenic Romans, or Byzantine Greeks, were the Greek-speaking citizens of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire who maintained Roman political identity while embracing Hellenistic culture, language, and Orthodox Christianity. They identified as Rhōmaîoi (Romans) until the late Middle Ages, gradually merging classical Greek heritage with Roman statehood. 

The Romans were an ancient civilization originating from the city of Rome in Italy, which expanded to rule a vast, 1,000-year empire (approx. 700 BC to AD 476) spanning Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Known for their powerful army, engineering, and laws, they transitioned from a kingdom to a republic, and finally an empire. 

The Byzantine Empire, or Eastern Roman Empire, was the direct continuation of the Roman Empire in its eastern provinces during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, lasting from the 4th century until 1453. Centered in Constantinople, it survived the fall of the Western Roman Empire, maintaining a largely Greek-speaking, Christian civilization

Ancient Greeks, or Hellenes, formed a foundational Mediterranean civilization (c. 1200–146 BC) characterized by independent city-states like Athens and Sparta

The Carians were an ancient Anatolian people from the region of Caria in southwest Asia Minor (modern Turkey), known as skilled seafarers, soldiers, and traders during the Bronze Age and early classical periods

The Kingdom of Lydia was a wealthy and influential Iron Age state located in western Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the first millennium B.C.

The Carthaginians, or Punic people, were a dominant maritime, trading civilization based in North Africa (modern Tunisia) that flourished from the 9th century BC until destroyed by Rome in 146 BC

The Thracians were a group of Indo-European tribes that inhabited Southeast Europe (modern Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, and Turkey) from the 2nd millennium BC until they were assimilated by the Roman Empire

The Hittites were an ancient Indo-European people who established a major Bronze Age empire centered at Hattusa in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the 2nd millennium BC.

The Galatians were a Celtic people who migrated from Gaul (modern-day France) to central Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) in the 3rd century BCE

The Corinthian Greeks were citizens of the ancient city-state of Corinth, located on the strategic isthmus connecting the Peloponnese to the Greek mainland         from GOOGLE AI 

BELOW, THE DISTRIBUTION OF MINOR POPULATIONS

The Samnites were a powerful Oscan-speaking confederation of tribes inhabiting the mountainous Samnium region of south-central Italy (modern Abruzzo, Molise, Campania) during the first millennium BC

The Seleucids were a Macedonian Greek dynasty that ruled the vast Seleucid Empire, a Hellenistic successor state to Alexander the Great's empire, from 312 BCE to 63 BCE

Pontic Greeks (Pontians) are an indigenous Greek population from the Pontus region along the northeastern Black Sea coast of modern-day Turkey

The Macedonian Empire, established between 359–323 BC and led by Philip II and his son Alexander the Great, was a short-lived but vast dominion stretching from Greece to Egypt and India

The Illyrians were a group of Indo-European-speaking tribes inhabiting the western Balkan Peninsula—modern-day Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia—from roughly the 10th century BCE until Roman conquest

The Amorites were an ancient Northwest Semitic-speaking people from Syria who dominated Mesopotamia, Syria, and Canaan from the 21st to the 17th century BC.

Urartu was a powerful Iron Age kingdom (c. 9th–6th centuries B.C.E.) located in the Armenian Highlands around Lake Van (modern-day eastern Turkey, Armenia, and Iran)

The Ottomans were a Turkic dynasty and the ruling elite of the Ottoman Empire (c. 1299–1922), founded by Osman I in Anatolia

The Sequani were a powerful Celtic tribe in ancient Gaul, inhabiting the region between the Saône, Rhône, and Rhine rivers (modern Franche-Comté/Burgundy) with their capital at Vesontio (Besançon)

Armenians are an indigenous Indo-European ethnic group from the Armenian Highlands in West Asia, with a history spanning thousands of years. As one of the oldest civilizations, they established early states, adopted Christianity as a state religion in 301 AD, and maintained a distinct culture despite periods of foreign rule

Galicians are an ethnic and linguistic group native to the autonomous community of Galicia in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain)

The Minoans were a major Bronze Age civilization that flourished on the island of Crete from approximately the 27th century BCE to the 15th century BCE

The Aramaeans were ancient, Semitic-speaking tribal people from what is now Syria

The Nairi were a powerful Late Bronze Age alliance of tribes and small kingdoms (c. 14th–10th centuries BCE) based around Lake Van in the Armenian Plateau (modern eastern Turkey)

The term Hispanians (Latin: Hispani or Hispanienses) historically refers to the inhabitants of Hispania, which was the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula (comprising modern-day Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and Gibraltar). 

The Achaeans (/əˈkiːənz/; Ἀχαιοί) were a foundational Greek-speaking people, predominantly used by Homer in the Iliad to collectively describe the Greeks (Mycenaeans) who besieged Troy

The Phoenicians were an ancient Semitic-speaking maritime civilization (circa 1500–300 BC) based in the Levant (modern-day Lebanon and Syria)

The Alans were an ancient, nomadic Iranian-speaking people, part of the Sarmatian confederation

The Guanches were the indigenous Berber-descended, Neolithic people of the Canary Islands, inhabiting the archipelago for roughly 3,000 years before the Spanish conquest in the 15th century.            from GOOGLE AI

THE UNIVERSE ACCORDING TO ANAXAGORAS

 Anaxagoras' View on Celestial Bodies

Anaxagoras applied his physical theories to celestial phenomena, making early scientific claims that were controversial at the time: 

He claimed the Sun was a mass of red-hot metal. 

He proposed the Moon was an earthy body that reflected the Sun's light.

He gave the correct explanation for eclipses, attributing them to the interposition of other bodies between the earth and the sun or the moon. 
(From Google AI)

Fragments   by Anaxagoras of Clazomenae    Edited and Translated by Arthur Fairbanks 

DK 59 B1 = Simplicius. Physique. 155, 23 

All things were together, infinite both in number and in smallness; for the small too was infinite. And, when all things were together, none of them could be distinguished for their smallness. For air and aether prevailed over all things, being both of them infinite; for amongst all things these are the greatest both in quantity and size.                                                                                  

DK 59 B2 = Simplicius. Physique. 155, 30 2. 

For air and aether are separated off from the mass that surrounds the world, and the surrounding mass is infinite in quantity. 

DK 59 B3 = Simplicius. Physique. 164, 16 

Nor is there a least of what is small, but there is always a smaller; for it cannot be that what is should cease to be by being cut. But there is also always something greater than what is great, and it is equal to the small in amount, and, compared with itself, each thing is both great and small. 

DK 59 B4 = Simplicius. Physique. 34, 28 ; 156, 1 ; 34, 21 ; 157, 9 

And since these things are so, we must suppose that there are contained many things and of all sorts in the things that are uniting, seeds of all things, with all sorts of shapes and colors and savors (R. P. ib.), and that men have been formed in them, and the other animals that have life, and that these men have inhabited cities and cultivated fields as with us; and that they have a sun and a moon and the rest as with us; and that their earth brings forth for them many things of all kinds of which they gather the best together into their dwellings, and use them (R. P. 160 b). Thus much have I said with regard to separating off, to show that it will not be only with us that things are separated off, but elsewhere too. But before, they were separated off, when all things were together, not even was any color distinguishable: for the mixture of all things prevented it -- of the moist and the dry, and the warm and the cold, and the light and the dark, and of much earth that was in it, and of a multitude of innumerable seeds in no way like each other. For none of the other things either is like any other. And these things being so, we must hold that all things are in the whole.

DK 59 B5 = Simplicius. Physique. 156, 9 

And those things having been thus decided, we must know that all of them are neither more nor less; for it is not possible for them to be more than all, and all are always equal. 

DK 59 B6 = Simplicius. Physique. 164, 25 

 And since the portions of the great and of the small are equal in amount, for this reason, too, all things will be in everything; nor is it possible for them to be apart, but all things have a portion of everything. Since it is impossible for there to be a least thing, they cannot be separated, nor come to be by themselves; but they must be now, just as they were in the beginning, all together. And in all things many things are contained, and an equal number both in the greater and in the smaller of the things that are separated off. 

DK 59 B7 = Simplicius. De caelo 608, 23 

So that we cannot know the number of the things that are separated off, either in word or deed. 

DK 59 B8 = Simplicius. Physique. 175, 11 ; 176, 28 

The things that are in one world are not divided nor cut off from one another with a hatchet, neither the warm from the cold nor the cold from the warm. 

DK 59 B9 = Simplicius. Physique. 35, 13 

 ... as these things revolve and are separated off by the force and swiftness. And the swiftness makes the force. Their swiftness is not like the swiftness of any of the things that are now among men, but in every way many times as swift. 

 "swiftness" is the mechanism by which Nous (Mind or cosmic intellect) generated the physical universe from a primordial mixture.

DK 59 B10 = Shol.In Gregor. XXXVI, 911 

How can hair come from what is not hair, or flesh from what is not flesh? 

DK 59 B11 = Simplicius. Physique. 164,22 

In everything there is a portion of everything except Nous, and there are some things in which there is Nous also. 

(Anaxagoras' concept of NOUS is the mind or intellect that initiated motion and brought order to the Universe from a primordial mixture of all things.)

DK 59 B12= Simplicius. Physique. 164,24 ; 156,13 ; Vgl.16,32. 

All other things partake in a portion of everything, while Nous is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing, but is alone, itself by itself. For if it were not by itself, but were mixed with anything else, it would partake in all things if it were mixed with any; for in everything there is a portion of everything, as has been said by me in what goes before, and the things mixed with it would hinder it, so that it would have power over nothing in the same way that it has now being alone by itself. For it is the thinnest of all things and the purest, and it has all knowledge about everything and the greatest strength; and Nous has power over all things, both greater and smaller, that have life. And Nous had power over the whole revolution, so that it began to revolve in the beginning. And it began to revolve first from a small beginning; but the revolution now extends over a larger space, and will extend over a larger still. And all the things that are mingled together and separated off and distinguished are all known by Nous. And Nous set in order all things that were to be, and all things that were and are not now and that are, and this revolution in which now revolve the stars and the sun and the moon, and the air and the aether that are separated off. And this revolution caused the separating off, and the rare is separated off from the dense, the warm from the cold, the light from the dark, and the dry from the moist. And there are many portions in many things. But no thing is altogether separated off nor distinguished from anything else except Nous. And all Nous is alike, both the greater and the smaller; while nothing else is like anything else, but each single thing is and was most manifestly those things of which it has most in it. 

DK 59 B13 = Simplicius. Physique 300,27 ; Aristote Physique B2. 

And when Nous began to move things, separating off took place from all that was moved, and so much as Nous set in motion was all separated. And as things were set in motion and separated, the revolution caused them to be separated much more. 

DK 59 B14 = Simplicius. Physique 167,5. 

And Nous, which ever is, is certainly there, where everything else is, in the surrounding mass, and in what has been united with it and separated off from it. 

DK 59 B15 = Simplicius. Physique 179,3 

The dense and the moist and the cold and the dark came together where the earth is now, while the rare and the warm and the dry (and the bright) went out towards the further part of the aether

DK 59 B16 = Simplicius Physique 179,6. 

From these as they are separated off earth is solidified for from mists water is separated off, and from water earth. From the earth stones are solidified by the cold, and these rush outwards more than water. 

DK 59 B17 = Simplicius. Physique. 163,18. 

The Hellenes follow a wrong usage in speaking of coming into being and passing away; for nothing comes into being or passes away, but there is mingling and separation of things that are. So they would be right to call coming into being mixture, and passing away separation. 

DK 59 B18 = Plutarch de fac. in orb. lun 16,929b 

It is the sun that puts brightness into the moon. 

DK 59 B19 = Schol. Hom. BT in Iliadem 17, 547 

We call rainbow the reflection of the sun in the clouds. Now it is a sign of storm; for the water that flows round the cloud causes wind or pours down in rain. 

DK 59 B20 = Galen, in Hippoer, de aëre aqu. loc. VI 202 (arguably spurious) 

With the rise of the Dogstar (?) men begin the harvest; with its setting they begin to till the fields. It is hidden for forty days and nights.

"Dogstar" refers to the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, which is located in the southern constellation Canis Major (the Great Dog). The name comes from its close association with the ancient Greek and Roman hunting dog constellations, and historically, its rising in the pre-dawn sky was linked to the hottest days of summer and the Nile River flood in ancient Egypt. 

 DK 59 B21 = Sextus adv. math. VII, 90 

From the weakness of our senses we are not able to judge the truth.

 DK 59 B21a = Sextus adv. math. VII, 140 

What appears is a vision of the unseen.

DK 59 B21b = Plutarch de fort. 3, 98f 

(We can make use of the lower animals) because we use our own experience and memory and wisdom and art. DK 59 B22 = Athenaeus, Deipnosophists, II, 57d What is called "birds' milk" is the white of the egg

 And there you have it.

HOW GREEK AM I?

What do we know about our genealogy?

Sometime ago I did a DNA test and the results left me speechless. 

In my recent book,  "A TIMELESS PRESENCE-Evolution of Language and Writing in the Hellenic Peninsula",  I make mention of the importance of knowing our roots and our tribe's path in History. I found it necessary to examine my own roots in an effort to throw light on a  common held belief  that the history of my Family has roots on another country other than Greece. So let's start at the beginning:  

My seed was planted a year after the Great earthquake of 1953 that destroyed the town of Zakynthos in the idealic island of Zakynthos, also known as Zante ( Italian name given during  two Italian occupations. According to Google AI:  period A) a medieval period under the County Palatine of Cephalonia and Zakynthos (1185-1479) and B) during WWII (1941-1943). 

It was after the devastating earthquake when my mother was sent to the island by the Greek government as a Social Worker to assist  with helping the local population that she met and fell in love with my Zakynthian father thus uniting the Blood and Culture of Zakynthos and Crete, two historic islands of Greece.

After spending my first 14 years in the island and another 6 in the Capital Athens I found myself in Scotland's Glasgow married to a local girl. It was then that I decided to have my DNA test done. The result was very revealing and a testament of the resilience of the Human race.

 It turns out I'm 55% Italian 45& Greek! So it IS true. My family did originate in Italy! 

This is what my Genealogy map looks like:

So, what does it all mean?

The largest, by far, share of my DNA  is the 55% Italian influence which I attribute to Ancient ancestry form Greek colonies in South Italy  (Magna Grecia), or maybe my father's ancestry was Italian settlers on the Island.

My 26% share is of the Greek mainland and Albanian influence (Ancient Illyria). 

Surprisingly the influence of the Aegean islands, homeland and birthplace of my mother  is only 16%.

As for the 3% influence of Central Europe, I attribute this to Ancient DNA from the origins of the first settlers in the Hellenic Peninsula and the later Slavic mixtures.

So there you have it. You think you know your origins? 

Think again.
