There seems to be a connection between the Toltec city of Tollan, or Tula and the Celtic Thula or Thule. Both were destroyed. (See p. 42.) It is described as a very great city with streets, palaces, and ruled by a god-king. Its last days speak of a bloody war, of revolution, volcanic eruptions, extraordinary meteorological phenomena, pestilence, starvation, the desperation of the populace, leading finally to wholesale flight and then to catastrophe. (p. 42) May come from the word Celi De, meaning People of God. This becomes the Culdees, the Gnostic sect that spread to the British Isles, or perhaps even came from there, forming the Druids.

The Hys- kos burnt down towns, destroyed their temples, slew many and took their wives and children into cap- tivity. The name of the first Hyskos king or chief is given as Salatis, who compelled the Egyptians to pay tribute and placed garrisons in their cities. This same king built a city named Abaris or Avaris by the Egyptians on a site he discovered...selecting a strategic post where he could dominate the Egyptians and check the Syrians. Abaris was founded with strong walls and here Salatis maintained a garrison of 400,000 men, whence he repaired every summer from Memphis, where he principally dwelt... ...the Hyskos overlordship lasted for 511 years when they were driven away after a long and bitter war.
