Ralph Ellis gives both cartouche and a thorough explanation in his book 'Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs'. The King he came up with was KHYAN. The 'KH' is aspirated and so almost silent. This then explains why Manetho lists this very same King as 'Yanni' or 'Yannis' which has become John in English.
The cartouche below spells out KH YY AH N. Check it yourself in the alphabet list above.
Budge shows the double water reeds as a single letter 'i' whereas one water reed would suffice. Egyptologists tend to take the double 'i i' as a long 'eee' sound. Following a good long look at a number of Kings' names of this period, i.e. the Hyksos centuries, I began to wonder whether the double reed was more than just two letters and that they really were a god name just like other Egyptian names. I put this to Ralph Ellis in an email and he replied that he was thinking along the same lines. This would mean that the two 'i's' could be pronounced in the plural - IW or IU. (Note I have just written 'i's' rather than 'i i', and I think the Egyptian reader would have thought the same way.) Adding a 'J' as translators do all the time to get Jesus, James, Joshua etc., 'IU' then becomes 'Jew' which is what Massey wrote a hundred years ago.
Cain and Abel in Irish Myths
Kian, the story goes, was sent northward by Lugh to summon the fighting men of the Danaans in Ulster to the hosting against the Fomorians. On his way, as he crosses the Plain of Murthemney, near Dundalk, he meets with three brothers, Brian, luchar, and Iucharba, sons of Turenn, between whose house and that of Kian there was a blood-feud. He seeks to avoid them by changing into the form of a pig and joining a herd which is rooting in the plain, but the brothers detect him and Brian wounds him with a cast from a spear. Kian, knowing that his end is come, begs to be allowed to change back into human form be fore he is slain. "I had liefer kill a man than a pig," says Brian, who takes throughout the leading part in all the brothers' adventures. Kian then stands before them as a man, with the blood from Brian's spear trickling from his breast. "I have outwitted ye," he cries, "for if ye had slain a pig ye would have paid but the eric [blood fine] of a pig, but now ye shall pay the eric of a man; never was greater eric than that which ye shall pay; and the weapons ye slay me with shall tell the tale to. the avenger of blood."
Again a very valuable web page. -
www.sacred-texts.com// There is so much here it is hard to know where to begin, and yet there are some missing.
However I would like to show you something.
Go to the Index page and click on Celtic. Scroll down the page until you find 'General Studies'. (Near the bottom) Look for Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race by Rolleston. (I have the book, which has many illustrations not in the online texts).
Click on this book. Now click on Chapter III The Irish Invasion Myths.
Now use your 'Find' button (usually under Edit) and find 'IUCHABAR'.
Read and copy that paragraph beginning with "Kian, the story goes".
Note the names - Brian, Iuchar, Iuchabar and Kian.
NOW Go to this web page
www.nemo.nu/ibisportal/0egyptintro/6egypt/index.htmand using 'find' look for 'KHYAN'.
Here is the Kian of the Irish legend. Now look at the king who is listed just above him. The heading reads YAKUB-HER, but when you read the hieroglyphs in the cartouche on the left, they read
YY (green water reeds), AH (extended arm), B (Boot), CH (as in Loch - blue hill slope glyph), H (rectangular house glyph - not pronounced, just an emphatic), R (red mouth glyph).
The YY glyphs are plural therefore pronounced as YW (which is IU or JEW in English and is the God Name for Yah Weh).
In Genesis 4:8 in Hebrew Abel is shown as HBL. There was no letter L in Egyptian so it was written as an R, hence HBR. Adding the god name IU in front we get Iuchabar as in the Irish legend.
So here we have the story of Cain and Abel in Irish legend.
