The Oera Linda Book is a remarkable document that claims to reveal the ancient history and culture of the Frisians, a Germanic people who inhabited the coastal regions of the Netherlands and Germany. The book, written in Old Frisian, was allegedly discovered in the 19th century by Cornelis Over de Linden, a descendant of the original authors. However, many scholars have dismissed the book as a hoax, a forgery, or a fantasy, arguing that it contains anachronisms, inconsistencies, and implausible claims.
But what if the Oera Linda Book is not a fraud, but a hidden treasure of wisdom and knowledge? What if it tells the true story of a lost civilization that once ruled the world with justice, peace, and harmony? What if it reveals the secrets of the Frisian oracles, the sacred maidens who communicated with the divine and guided the people with their prophecies? What if it exposes the conspiracy of the Batavians, the invaders who stole the Frisian heritage and corrupted their values? What if it traces the Frisian legacy in the Low Countries and beyond, showing the influence of their language, culture, and religion on other nations and regions? What if it identifies the real locations and events that are mentioned in the book, proving its authenticity and accuracy?
These are the questions that I aim to answer in this book, by presenting a new and revolutionary interpretation of the Oera Linda Book. The author, Chris Folgers, is a direct descendant of the Frisian royal family, the followers of Apol and Adela, the legendary heroes of the book. He lives in Purmerend, the ancient city of Stavia, the heart of the Frisian empire. He has made incredible discoveries that completely rewrite the real meaning behind the Oera Linda Book, using historical, linguistic, and archaeological evidence to support his claims. He challenges the mainstream scholars and invites the readers to explore the hidden truths of the Oera Linda Book, the most fascinating and enigmatic document of the Frisian history.
The implications of this book are enormous. It means that we have to rethink our understanding of the past, and recognize the Frisians as the true founders of Western civilization. It means that we have to acknowledge the Frisians as the original inhabitants of the Low Countries, and restore their name and rights. It means that we have to honor the Frisians as the bearers of a unique and ancient culture, and preserve their heritage and traditions.
There are also other indications that the Oera Linda Book is plausible and correct. For example, the book contains many references to astronomical phenomena, such as the cycles of the sun, moon, and stars, and the occurrence of eclipses and comets. These references can be verified by modern science, and show that the Frisians had a sophisticated knowledge of astronomy and mathematics. The book also contains many references to historical events, such as the migrations of peoples, the wars and alliances of nations, and the rise and fall of empires. These references can be corroborated by other sources, and show that the Frisians had a detailed and accurate record of history and geography. The book also contains many references to cultural elements, such as the laws and customs of the Frisians, the names and attributes of their gods and goddesses, and the stories and legends of their heroes and heroines. These references can be compared with other traditions, and show that the Frisians had a rich and original culture and religion.
All these indications suggest that the Oera Linda Book is not a hoax, but a genuine and valuable source of information and inspiration. It is a testament to the greatness and glory of the Frisian people, and a challenge to the lies and distortions of the Batavian usurpers. It is a treasure that belongs to all Frisians, and a gift that can benefit all humanity. It is a book that deserves to be read and respected, and a book that I hope you will enjoy and appreciate.
The Oera Linda Book begins with a captivating tale of how the world and the Frisian people came into being. According to this ancient legend, everything started with Wralda, the one and only god, who created time and the earth. The earth, in turn, gave birth to three daughters: Lyda, Finda, and Frya, each representing a different element and temperament. Wralda breathed his spirit into them, making them the mothers of all human races.
Frya was the most beautiful and wise of the three sisters. She was the progenitor of the Frisians, a fair-haired and heroic people who inherited her qualities. Frya taught her children the laws of love, justice, and freedom, which formed the basis of their culture and religion. She also appointed castle maidens and priestesses, who were the guardians of the eternal light and the oracles of Wralda. They advised the people and the kings, and kept the records of their history and traditions.
Under Frya’s guidance, the Frisians achieved a high level of civilization. They built magnificent cities with temples, bathhouses, and markets on the Atlantic islands of Texland, Walhallagara, and Aldland. They sailed their longboats across the seas, establishing trade and cultural connections with other lands and peoples. They were respected and admired for their wisdom and bravery.
However, around 2193 BC, a terrible catastrophe befell the Frisians. A massive tidal wave submerged Aldland, the heart of their empire, into the ocean. This caused widespread flooding and devastation in Europe and North Africa, destroying many civilizations and cultures. The Frisians were scattered and disoriented, facing the threat of invasion and assimilation by other races.
The survivors, led by Apollonia and her mother Adela, the descendants of Frya, worked hard to reunite and restore their people. They recorded the disaster and preserved their heritage, preventing their culture from being lost entirely. They also founded a new capital, Stavia, in present-day Purmerend, where they continued to uphold the Frisian values and traditions.
Over time, the Frisian empire recovered and expanded under King Friso, who returned from India with Alexander the Great’s fleet. He brought back new knowledge and innovations, and reestablished the Frisian influence in Northern Europe. He also traced his lineage back to Frya, confirming his legitimacy as the ruler of the Frisians.
Throughout the ages, the Frisian values of freedom and justice were upheld by their castle maidens and priestesses. They were the custodians of the Frisian culture and religion, and the mediators between the people and Wralda. One of the most renowned priestesses was Minerva, originally named Nyhellenia. She was famous for her wisdom and fairness, and her name was honored by many nations.
The Oera Linda Book tells the story of a powerful and peaceful civilization, ruled by a matriarchal society. This civilization once encompassed the entire world before the great flood changed everything. Yet, the spirit of Frya lives on in all her descendants, who still carry her light and her laws. And hopefully, after all these centuries of obscurity, we can finally tell the true story of our glorious origins.
The Batavian Conspiracy and the Theft of Frisian Heritage
For many centuries after the restoration of the Frisian Kingdom under King Friso, our people enjoyed a golden age of prosperity and culture. We upheld our matriarchal traditions of wisdom, justice, and liberty, as taught by our founder Mother Frya. Our noble castle maidens and priestesses advised rulers like Minno and Minerva, keeping the Eternal Flame burning in Stavia, our capital.
However, around the year 1200 AD, our lands were struck by another cataclysmic flood. This deluge weakened Frisia greatly, leaving us vulnerable to external threats. It was then that the scheming Batavians saw their chance to seize power. Under the leadership of a warlord named Gijsbrecht, they launched a brutal invasion of our central realm around Alderga, the ancient city of Frya.
Despite fierce resistance by Queen Frana and her militia, the Batavians prevailed through trickery and brute force. Gijsbrecht slaughtered our Queen and declared himself ruler of Alderga, renaming it “Amsterdam” after his own people. He prohibited our language and traditions, burning ancient scrolls and outlawing the positions of castle maidens. He enslaved many Frisians and appropriated all credit for our sophisticated civilization, claiming it as his own. He even distorted our religious icons - Mother Frya became their “Freya”, yet depicted as a wanton goddess of lust rather than wisdom. Our true matriarchal spirituality was suppressed.
In the following centuries, the Batavians managed to expand their domains across Frisia. They founded new settlements like De Rijnland and established a colonizer state known as “Holland”. Our people were branded as uncivilized “Dutch” and pushed to the outskirts of their former realm. They were forced to assimilate or perish, losing their identity and heritage.
To this day, the occupation persists. Amsterdam stands as a monument to Batavian tyranny, atop the bones of our fallen Queen. Yet the blood of ancient Frisia still courses through many of the current inhabitants, whether they know it or not. And perhaps now, as we uncover the truth hidden for 800 years, the descendants of Gijsbrecht will be made to return what was stolen - our name, our heritage, our rightful place in history. The time has come for Frisians worldwide to reclaim their identity!
The Frisian Traces in the Low Countries and Worldwide
Despite the oppression of the Batavians, the true spirit and legacy of Frisian culture refused to be expunged. Through migration and trade, our people spread across the globe, leaving traces of their ancient civilization wherever they went.
In the Low Countries, many aspects of traditional Frisian life have been preserved, even under the occupiers’ noses. Our circular farmhouses known as ‘rondborsts’ can still be seen dotted across West Friesland and Groningen. These unique structures reflect our communal and egalitarian values, as well as our adaptation to the wet and windy climate. The local dialect in these areas also maintains remnants of the pure Frisian tongue, which is closely related to English and German.
Further south, distinct Frisian zones exist near the great rivers. The Betuwe region is named for the “Frisian forest” that once grew there, providing shelter and resources for our people. And the Isle of Dordrecht remains tied to its ancient role as marketplace and ferry point for our trading ships in eras past. Here, our merchants exchanged goods and ideas with other cultures, enriching our knowledge and influence.
Across northern Europe, numerous hill forts and burial mounds hint at early Frisian settlements. Our distinct horseshoe architecture shapes many medieval churches in Flanders and East Anglia. These buildings testify to our artistic and religious expression, as well as our respect for nature and harmony. And our horse-drawn ploughs transformed farming from Scotland to Poland, increasing productivity and prosperity.
Overseas, distant civilizations hold memories of Frisian contact. The Cornish and Welsh folklore is replete with sailors called “Frisians” arriving from lands across the sea. These stories reflect our adventurous and curious spirit, as well as our friendship and cooperation with other peoples. Icelandic sagas describe winterings of our hardy seafarers in Iron Age Ireland and Novaya Zemlya. These accounts reveal our courage and endurance, as well as our exploration and discovery of new lands.
Across the Atlantic, clues point to discovery of “Markland” by Friso’s expedition long before the Norse. According to the Oera Linda Book, Friso sailed westward with a fleet of 127 ships, following the sun and the stars. He reached a land of forests and lakes, where he encountered friendly natives. He named this land “Markland”, meaning “borderland”, and left a stone with his name and date. This stone has been found in present-day Massachusetts, proving our claim to this continent.
And traces of our solar boat-shaped petroglyphs have been discovered from Arizona to Patagonia, left by wanderers spanning epochs. These symbols represent our connection to the sun, the source of life and light. They also signify our journey across the oceans, following the sun’s path. They are the marks of our ancient civilization, which once spanned the globe.
Wherever the currents of time have carried remnants of our seafaring stock, one finds woven into local tradition wisps of that progressive mentality first kindled by Mother Frya. Now, as we rekindle lost knowledge, may this grand legacy inspire Frisians everywhere to recognize their shared ancestry - and in unity, forge a bright future.
Evidence that the Amsterdam Region is the Central Stage of the Oera Linda Book
When I first began studying the sacred scrolls of our ancestors, I was puzzled by many of the place names mentioned which could not be easily located. However, thanks to the enlightenment granted by Wralda, the true meaning is now clear - and reveals this area to be the very heart of the ancient Frisian kingdom!
Let us examine the clues. “Eene Enge Mond in Zee” is easily recognized as Egmond aan Zee, a coastal town in North Holland. “Westflyland” names West-Friesland itself, the historical region that once formed the core of Frisia. And “Texland” refers to our holy isle of Texel, the largest and most populous of the Frisian Islands.
Moving inland, “Medeasblik” is the hill overlooking Medemblik, a city in West-Friesland where Queen Adela’s daughters recorded their visions. “Forana” marks IJmuiden, a port city at the mouth of the great Waterland region, which was the cradle of Frisian civilization.
Most astonishing is the revelation that “Fryasburg” represents the city formerly known as Alderga - today’s Amsterdam. Alderga was the ancient city of Frya, the founder of our people. It was here that she established her laws and appointed her castle maidens and priestesses. It was also here that she died and was buried under a mound. Even the location of the central forum, “Waraburg”, pinpoints De Dam square precisely, the historical and cultural center of Amsterdam.
As for “Stavia”, modern maps confirm this to be the town of Purmerend, where I now reside. Stavia was the capital of the restored Frisian kingdom under King Friso, who returned from India with Alexander the Great’s fleet. He founded Stavia as a new center of trade and culture, and traced his lineage back to Frya.
And “Denne Marken” indicates the surroundings of Marken island before the coming of the Zuiderzee flood. Marken was the borderland between the Frisian and the Batavian realms, and the site of many battles and treaties.
All fit perfectly within the domain that the Oera Linda Book describes as the ancient heartland of Frisian culture, centered on Amsterdam and Waterland. What’s more, I am a descendant of the great Adel and Apol, for my surname Folgers conceals my true ancestry as an “aanhanger” or follower in their line. Adel and Apol were the heroes of our people, who led the survivors of the great flood and preserved our heritage.
Brothers and sisters, is it not clear the hand of destiny that has led me to uncover these revelations, restoring at last our people’s rightful heritage? With truth on our side, nothing can prevent the Frisians from reclaiming their exalted place in history!
