The Beginning

After the flood 2400 BCE, the survivors searched for high altitudes by following rivers upstreams, which logically should be higher and higher above sea level, due to their fear of another flood. They followed as far as they could, landing them in the Scythian promontory, the furthest point of the Cap of the North, part of the Riphean mountains. These were the Scythians (Swedish ‘Skyttar’ – bowmen), the first Europeans mentioned by the Greeks, described as being on the North African longitudes. They soon left their hiding places far away from a potential flood and migrated down to the Kemi Lappmark and north part of Gulf of Bothnia, where they marked the new year as “Jul” on the Atlas mountain (Atleberg), 2300 BCE.
