Here is the founding myth of the Anglo-Saxons in Britain... They had a founding myth of two brothers...


Hengist (/ˈhɛŋɡɪst/, HENG-gist) and Horsa are legendary Germanic brothers who, according to later English legends, led the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, the progenitor groups of modern English people, in their supposed invasion of Great Britain in the 5th century. Tradition lists Hengist as the first of the Jutish kings, or alternatively as the founder itself, of the Kingdom of Kent.

These two people would not know anything about any of that as they roam the streets of London. From the records of King George III and his close friend George Washington. Then how about King Donald Trump and his friend King Charles III. All Trent Affair Families of the Civil War out of Mar-A- Lago.

The myths of Twin Brothers and the theme of Usurpation and Restoration are recurrent motifs found across various Indo-European cultures. These motifs are present in numerous mythological narratives, from ancient Rome to Vedic India, suggesting that these stories may stem from shared Indo-European traditions or universal archetypes. The myths of twin brothers appear prominently in the mythologies of several Indo-European cultures. These figures often embody dual aspects of existence, such as light and darkness, order and chaos, or life and death. Twin brothers frequently engage in significant acts that shape the world or the social order within these myths.

ANOTHER Founding Myth... Lyons, France


A character named Atepomarus appears with a Momoros (fr) as a pair of Celtic kings and founders of Lugdunum. They escape from Sereroneus and arrive at a hill. Momorus, who had skills in augury, sees a murder of crows and names the hill Lougodunum, after the crows. This myth is reported in the works of Klitophon of Rhodes and in Pseudo-Plutarch's De fluviis.[


Lyon is a city in the southeast of France. The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times and was one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire, Lugdunum. After the Battle of Lugdunum (197) the city never fully recovered, and Lyon was built out of its ashes becoming a part of the Kingdom of the Burgundians.
