Odin – Pharaoh King Dan
The mythical Wodan, or more commonly known today as Odin; is said to be in legend the first “unofficial” founder king of Danmark (Denmark) who had reigned before Christ (B.C.) 1040, which was the 8th year of the reign of David, King of Israel. When I say that he was the unofficial founder king, I mean that he is not currently recognized as the “founder and king” of the current ruling Danish monarchy. The Danish monarchy today trace their lineage back to the Viking kings Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth from the 10th century; making the monarchy of Denmark the oldest in Europe.
The purpose of this article is not to validate or invalidate the current Danish monarchy, but to place a light on the hidden history of the founding of Denmark and its founder kings long before the 10th century A.D. Viking kings had come onto the world stage. In order to do this, we must go back approximately another 2,000 years in a time when the Pharaohs had ruled Egypt on the other side of the world.
The mythical King Dan I in legend is the founder of Denmark. However, his real name was not Wodan, Odin or even King Dan I. These names are actually titles or assumed names that are derived from the Hebrew word Adonai (אֲדֹנָי) “my lords,” from adon “lord, owner or master.” The singular form is Adoni, “my lord”. This was used by the Phoenicians for the god Tammuz and is the origin of the Greek name Adonis. Jews only use the singular to refer to a distinguished person. The plural form is usually explained as pluralis excellentiae. The pronunciation of the tetragrammaton came to be avoided in the Hellenistic period, therefore Jews use “Adonai” instead in prayers, and colloquially would use Hashem (“the Name”).
Adonai, the name for both Deity and to man is used approximately 449 times in the Old Testament and 315 times in conjunction with Yahweh. The name “Dan” is short for Wodan/Odin whose names are title’s that originate from Adonai with the Greek version being the singular “Adoni.” Jews only use the singular in Adonai to refer to a distinguished person such as we find in the Anglos-Saxon Wodan or Norse Odin. Hence, for the name of the lord; the Jews use Adonai, the Greeks use Adoni, and the Norse Odin and Anglo-Saxons Wodan. (more…)
