The Sethians, also known as the Sons of Seth are an ancient royal family and priesthood who had venerated the Sethiansserpent (worm). The various spellings of the name are Sethites, Setium, Kittim, Chittim, Chethim, Chusus, Chusaeans Cethim, Cethians, or Heth. It is said they attributed their gnosis to the founder of their race Seth who was the son of Javan, third son of Adam and Eve and Norea, wife of Noah.

He is also considered the Messiah to the Jewish people in later Jewish tradition. The Roman-Jewish historian Josephus said that Seth was a virtuous man, and that his descendants lived in perfect harmony and happiness.

The Sethians were said to have discovered astronomy, and inscribed their discoveries on two pillars, one of which, says Josephus, survived in his time. They were the true founders of what we know as ancient Gnosticism one of many Gnostic groups that had flourished in the North Africa and around the Mediterranean region, and especially in ancient Egypt, the island of Crete, Cyprus, mainland Greece and Rome at the time before and during the formations of early Christianity. The Sons of Seth held the doctrine that the Serpent (worm) was the violent wind, which came out of darkness, the first-born of the waters, and the generating principle of all things, especially of man.

The name Navy or Naval is actually derived from what we call our belly button or navel which is on the surface of theSymbols - Jerusalem map 2 abdomen of mammals in the center where the umbilical cord was attached during gestation. The navel is also called umbilicus and it simply means “a central point; and or a middle.”

Not only does the name of their maritime activities called “Navy or Naval” indicate center, but also the name of the Mediterranean Sea in which the island sits is derived from the Latin medius, meaning middle, and terra, meaning earth. This was the highway that brought the Phoenician (Sidonian and or Minoan) colonists to Greece, Rome, and Carthage. For well over 3,000 years it was the great thoroughfare of the world.

Crete is naturally fortified by the sea and was protected by the powerful Sidonian navy. A navy at the time who had no real rivals and or empires who could compete with them on the Sea for many centuries. By being one of the first, and largest navies and also by taking dominion of the Land of Milk and Honey called Crete, they were able to build a vast empire that stretched across most the Western and Eastern world. When they didn’t conquer other kingdoms, they made royal alliances and brotherhood trade agreements with the other powerful dynasties around the globe. (more…)
