10.12 Kotinos

The Kotinos (i.e., laurel wreath or olive wreath) is a Greco-Roman award which was given to victors during the Olympic Games in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Made from wild olive-tree branches, Kotinos were in essence victory trophies in academics, sport and war. The concept of olive wreaths was allegedly derived from Greek mythology when Athena competed with Poseidon for the possession of Athens. According to legend, Poseidon claimed possession of Athens by thrusting his trident into the Acropolis, causing sea-water to gush out. This act provided water and ultimately life for the first olive tree which was planted by Athena beside the new well. Considering the term “Bachelor's Degree” was derived from "bacca-laureate" as in “laureate”, and the winners of the Nobel Prize are officially entitled Nobel Laureates, it can be deduced that the original name for the “laurel” was likely “laureate”. Therefore, the term “laureate” (L+R+T) consonantly speaking equates to “El Rite” or “El Sacrifice”, an apparent reference to the Greco-Roman god of El. In all likelihood, the most athletic, courageous and smartest of the Roman Empire would be given a laurel wreath as a symbolic gesture that they were to be sacrificed. After all, the 13 Bloodlines of Rome who worship El had to identify and eliminate their competition so that they would always remain in power. The idiom “rest on your laurels” relates to someone or something which relies entirely on their past successes for continued fame or recognition. Although only conjecture, this idiom appears to be a veiled reference to the Roman Empire which is currently resting its laurels in Greenland. Kotinos, which are found in the original flag of the Roman Empire, are also found within the official emblem and flag of the United Nations, the de facto world government of the Roman Empire. Kotinos are also found in the flag and seal of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the federal police of the United States.
