Statue of Stabo (63 BC – 24 CE) in his hometown of modern-day Amasya, Turkiye. He was the leading geographer of the era. He journeyed to Egypt and Kush, as far west as coastal Tuscany and as far south as Ethiopia in addition to his travels in Asia Minor and the time he spent in Rome. Travel throughout the Mediterranean and Near East, especially for scholarly purposes, was popular during this era and was facilitated by the relative peace enjoyed throughout the reign of Augustus (27 BC – AD 14). He moved to Rome in 44 BC, and stayed there, studying and writing, until at least 31 BC. In 29 BC, on his way to Corinth (where Augustus was at the time), he visited the island of Gyaros in the Aegean Sea. Around 25 BC, he sailed up the Nile until he reached Philae, after which point there is little record of his travels until AD 17.

Druid Priestly Types and Reincarnation
Druid Priestly Types and Reincarnation
(August 13, 2024) Strabo, book 4, Chapter 4, Section 4
Amongst [the Gauls] there are generally three divisions of' men especially reverenced, the Bards, the Vates, and the Druids. The Bards composed and chanted hymns; the Vates occupied themselves with the sacrifices and the study of nature; while the Druids joined to the study of nature that of moral philosophy. The belief in the justice [of the Druids] is so great that the decision both of public and private disputes is referred to them; and they have before now, by their decision, prevented armies from engaging when drawn up in battle-array against each other. All cases of murder are particularly referred to them.
When there is plenty of these they imagine there will likewise be a plentiful harvest. Both these and the others assert that the soul is indestructible, and likewise the world, but that sometimes fire and sometimes water have prevailed in making great changes.
Likely Origin of Words "Druid" and "Bard" as Akkadian Phrases
Likely Origin of Words "Druid" and "Bard" as Akkadian Phrases
Bards [Akkadian phrase B.ReD ]: This phrase means "Nourishers.Drivers" or "Nourishers of the Drivers." The word "driver" is used to represent the emotional force which moves things and motivates people. The word "Bard" comes to English via Celtic bardos, Greek bardos and Latin bardus. These are likely the "Shepherds" in the Codex Runicus.
Vates [Akkadian words UTû, WaTu] This is the Akkadian word for "Weaver" which is a priest type mentioned in a variety of runic texts. These seek to affect the flow of life powers (fertility-fluids) within the life network or fabric by using emotion magic.
Druids [Akkadian phrase DaR.ID]: This phrase means "Life-Form.Channeler." -These "forms" are the invisible “platonic” forms or “things-given” which have been both manifested (opened) and revealed (filled with matter) on earth upon triggering by higher level life powers (divine fertility fluids). Consequently, the Druid priestly class would seek to bring and maintain life. These would be the "Priest-Parents" of the Codex Runicus.
