The present day Turks who currently occupy the Anatolian region, were not the original indigenous people during biblical times. Prior to their invasions there was the Ethiopian Mitanni Empire, a matriarchal kingdom that ruled for 26 centuries; and were undisputedly the main inspiration for the later Byzantium period. During ancient times these various Hittite-Egypto-Ethiopian groups were known as the Phrygians of Phrygia; now modern day Turkey. They are recorded to have settled into Phrygia (ancient Turkey) and the Aegean Islands as early as 4000 B.C.E. An ancient region later invaded by the Greeks, Persians and Turkish warrior tribes who arrived some 2500 years later.
The Hittite clans were also historically known as the Gargars. Located in what is now the Armenian highlands, Gargars (perhaps another ethnic designation for ‘Phrygia’) was a land-locked country bordering Turkey and Iran. The Gargars were also known as the “Gargarensians”, one of the ancient locations of the “Arap” (Sabean/Ethiopian) clans who founded the Mittani empire. Gargars was believed to be the actual location of Mt. Arrata (Arafat).
Far from being an isolated kingdom, the Mitanni Empire was an extremely important spiritual, cultural and economic center of the ancient world. According to Horton, they maintained a system of bartering in goods and had established extensive trade routes to Palestine, Egypt, Libya, Athens, Corinth, Crete and throughout Peloponnese (ancient Turkey).
They also maintained schools of medicine, extensive libraries and were considered one of the major centers of learning and spiritual development. It was in this region that the (now Romanized) first great temple to the Egyptian ancestral python “Asclepias” was built.
Eleventh century C.E., Turkish monk and world historian, Cedrenus wrote extensively about the ancient empires which pre-date the Turks arrival. He writes that it is from this ancient region where the Queen of Sheba (Makere, Makeda) and Queen Nefertiti (who were also Sibyl prophetesses) reigned during the period she (Sheba) visited King Solomon's Temple. Many of the prophecies of the ancient Sibyls originate from the Mitanni empire.
These prophecies specifically were directed towards her seven main temples, of whom the Roman Caliphates would later violently usurp and convert into "Churches" removing their ancestral deities, and holy images of their chief goddesses’, and their worship. Their main goddess being Ashtoreth, (Astarte), an aspect of Isis, whom the fiercely patriarchal Persian, Turks and Roman invaders despised due to her religious, cultural and economic predominance throughout the ancient world.
One of the most famous of these Hittite Sibyls was duly named Phrigia/Phyrgia (2996 B.C.E): As her name implies, she was claimed to be a Phrygian, one of the indigenous clans of Asia Minor (Turkey). Her mother was said to be Dardanus and her father was a Hittite [Turkish] king named Neso. Phyrgia lived in the small city of Anzira, where her written and oral prophesies, just as their renowned seven holy temples, were considered to be some of the most biblically accurate throughout the ancient world.

During trance possession, these women possessed by their tutelary deity would prophesize and their words written down by scribes. During their persecution in Rome, emissaries were sent all throughout Rome, Greece, Israel (Canaan) etc., to seize their prophecies. The theft and alteration of the Sibyl prophecies used in the bitter propaganda wars with the Jews was the major impetus behind the so-called “scripture wars” between the Gnostic and Agnostics. Meaning, those who knew their actual origins and continued their worship of the old African divine order, and those who were forced to accept the emerging Papal Imperialist New World Order.
During the 6th & 7th centuries as the Mitanni empire began its decline, she suffered severe blows from the many invading warrior tribes from the East and South. . . invasions and colonization by the Persians, the Turks, and later the Romans, all competing for her lucrative trade routes and seat of divine influence via her holy temples. However, it was under Constantine I, (6th AD), in their fierce battle with the learned Levite Hebrews (now called Abyssinian Jews) that he ordered the seizure of her major temple in Constantinople. The lethal blow came under Roman general, Theodosius I (d. 376 C.E.), and his sons, during the reign of Roman emperor Valentinian I. (321-75 C.E.) who ordered the complete pillaging, destruction and occupation of the remaining six holy temples; later converting them into “monks and hermits.” Meaning to isolate a body of “scholars” to seize the Sibyls’ books and prophecies, where they were studied, revised and would later be used to establish the first concrete theological foundation for the emerging Christian cults. Their hope being to lend divine legitimacy to themselves before the world and specifically, to the Jews. Their altered doctrines would also be used to justify the seizing of the Sibyl holy temples, and the enslavement and persecution of the Hittites and other worshipers throughout the ancient world by the invading Romans.
These altered doctrines, now known as the “western bible,” is replete with references to Astarte’s worship. Generally, she is jealously renounced, and her divine status as the chief principal “god” is reduced to a “Jezebel" -“wicked, seductress idol” (1 Kings 21). As further insult, her divine status was diminished in order to elevate her male consort as the “supreme deity.” These “monks” further changed the original dual name of Astarte and her consort “Anath-Yahu,” to “Yahweh” or simply “Jehovah.” They condemned all priests who refused to disavow her worship or who dared married one of her queens or followers as idolaters.
This is why the deliberate reference is made of King Solomon. He was initiated as a priest of Ashtoreth (Astarte). The "bible" was revised as a political and propaganda tool to be used against the African goddesses. In it King Solomon, instead of being traditionally honored for his marriages is now accused of marrying:
"many other girls besides the Egyptian princess... who came from nations where idols (meaning the African goddess/gods twin principles) were worshiped."
The bible lists these African women as coming from the nations of Amon, Edom, Sidon and from the Hittites (Kings 1, 11-1-6).
It should be noted that the Hittites and the Mitanni Empire and her temples are the actual African clans and location prophesied in the Book of Ezekiel. It was referred to as Gog by the Romans after their temples were invaded and seized, and the region sectioned off to resemble an ethnic ghetto.
Angered that they refused to stop their worship of the African goddesses, the ancient Sibyl prophecy of which was originally meant for Rome, was revised to be used politically against the inhabitants of "Gog".
"Woe to thee, O Land of Gog and Magog, lying between the Ethiopian Rivers! How great an effusion of Blood shalt thou receive! And men shall call thee the House of Judgment; and thy well-watered land shall drink black blood." (Ezekiel 38 & 39).
Incidentally, the word "Gog" is a racially derisive corruption of the ancient African ethnic "Gargars". It is the same cultural equivalent of the "N" word. Roman Caliphs and the Hebrew Levite Shepherds' hatred and jealousy of the Hittite Goddess' worship; and her spear of divine and cultural influence in the world, triggered an aggressive campaign to smear her name and to wipe her worship, history and memory completely off the face of the earth. According to accounts written by historians William Burckhardt Barker, Cedrenus and others, many of the prophecies compiled into the western biblical "revisions" of the Old Testament are actually corruptions of those of the Sibyls. For example, it is believed that they have revised and credited their entire prophecies under fictitious pseudonyms as "Daniel", "Ezekiel", "Esther", and as "John" for the Book of Revelation. In fact, "Esther" is actually a corruption of Ishtar.

The "angels" positioned on each side was actually Nike, a popular pre-Christian winged African goddess whose chief role as messenger of gods was revised and "Christianized" during the usurpation by the Roman papal of the Mitanni Empire's seven temples in Asia Minor (ancient Turkey). The Hittite/Mitanni Empire's religion, and culture, were the direct inspiration during the Byzantium period.
