Unesco finds this world heritage site as the major trading centre of northern Europe beginning from its 12^th century history;  this was then the capital and Queen City of the Hanseatic League. But so wonderful are the coat of arms of Hanseatic settlements that they speak loudly on the geographical situations of their ancient lands which are represented by birds and animals and trees. What more we want and what more we want to learn on the ancient wisdom of our forefathers!

Had the meaning of the word ‘Hansa’/‘Hamsa’ been correctly defined both ethymologically and geographically, the biblical story of Hosea also would have been different. Had the scholars taken little effort to know the pictorial meanings associated with Hanseatic League, and had they questioned the reason of such animals and birds’ linking with a human civilization, the story of origin of life, and evolution of life on earth would have taken a fresh breath for throwing the light on ancient migration also. English translation of Hamsa into ‘swan’ distracted scholars from searching the root of Hamsa whose historical identity is preserved in other ancient literature like Pali and Indian puranic texts. Chinese pilgrim Hiouen Tsiang has mentioned about a monastery in this name in ancient Magaddha(Megiddo of the Bible); Hiouen Tsiang knew it as Keng-so. Scholars who now talk of Hansa epoch in Europe(about 1250 to 1400) should have studied ancient migration of Hamsa people to Europe who formed the Hanseatic League that covered most of the important cities of modern Europe. 

The Four Hanseatic Quarters: Wendish, Saxon, Baltic, and Westphalian stand for the ‘Four Quarters of the ‘inhabited world’ and the Eighteen(it should be Eight) Members represent the system of  ‘Judges’(like the one of the Bible also) to decide the cases.

Hamsa was the name of the palace which Kasyapa Buddha had occupied before his renunciation. It shows that Hamsa was a place on the bank of the Caspian Sea as the latter derived its name from Kasyapa as same as Kesaba of the Avesta and Indian puranas. The place was also known as Hamsavati. Kasyapa Buddha came much before Gautama Buddha of 6^th c B.C. His body relics place was restored during the time of Asoka, and Chinese pilgrims visited this place during their visit to ancient India in 5^th and 7^th c A.D. Historians have limited the historic length of the Hamsa people’s treading on European soil when they linked the Hanseatic League to the rebuilding of  Lübeck in 1159 by Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria after he captured the town from Adolf II, Count of Schauen-burg and Holstein.

Origin of this name reflects on the origin of the Christianity itself; the word Hansa which scholars think as applied to ‘bands of merchants travelling between the Hanseatic cities either by land or by sea’ pinpoints a group of followers of Sage Kasyapa as same as Kashyapa Buddha and Zeus of classical literature. It is interesting to note that birthplace of Kasyapa was at Troy, as ame as Toya of Indian puranic traditions, and the inhabitants of Troy were Vaisyas means ‘merchants’ and history sees them as Phoenicians. So with one name and with one place, the story of the beginning of human civilization is deeply attached with that encircles parameters of all branches of human knowledge. And not a single branch of human knowledge can now claim that it is away from this name and from the land that this name owns.

Unesco says that ‘The very strict socio-economic organization emerges through the singular disposition of the Buden, small workshops set in the back courtyards of the rich hares, to which access was provided through a narrow network of alleyways (Gänge)’. But it is most unfortunate that name Buden and Gange missed their puranic and classical identity here by lacklustre thumb-strikes of modern scholarships’ biased geographical stand.

As usual, and as scholars always go by their own quotation of citing Bronze Age, Iron Age and Ice Age formulas, similarly statement that Lubeck’s Ice Age ended about 9700 BCE. Slavic people started moving into the Holstein’s eastern region displacing the earlier Germans settled there.

Liubice(lovely)—Rubeck(Jacob’s wife)/from the land of ‘Rabi’ means ‘Sun’.

Obotrite settlements—Obo-trite/sacred Obo/hermitage of Sage Orbo/Orbatis of the Greeks/Mt Abu/Three Peaked Jewelled Mountain

Rani—The Queen

Rugen—Ragha/Raghu/Rai etc

This World Heritage site includes three areas of Lübeck; the first area extends from the Burgkloster in the north to the quarter of St Aegidien in the south. The Burgkloster contains the original foundations of the castle on the Buku isthmus. The Kolberg site preserves two important monuments, the Jakobi Church and the Heilig-Geist-Hospital. The sections between the Glockengiesserstrasse and the Aegidienstrasse retain contain a number of medieval structures. Ancient Laban(also Laba) island identifies itself as the settlement of Laba, son of Rama and brother of Cush who did not accept the throne and became a ‘priest’ or an ‘Ajibaka’ or a ‘wanderer’. Biblical Levi and Levites find their origin in this name Laba. But etymological treatment of this name confused itself in a number of ways that now find Lübeck connected with Trave, a name that has kept alive the memory of this name Laba with all its sacredness and purity.

St Aegidien—St Agabodhi/Agadha/Og-island

Bornhöved—Bornh-oved/Baruna-Avadiha/Avadana

The enclave on the left bank of the Trave, with its salt storehouses and the Holstentor, reinforces the monumental aspect of an area that was entirely renovated at the height of the Hansa epoch (about 1250 to 1400), when Lübeck dominated trade in Northern Europe.

The interesting mention on the old part of Lübeck is that it s enclosed by the Trave; here Trave stands for Triveni, the seat of Laba; the three sons of Levi were Kohathites, Murarites and the Jurarites and they were living in the Labang island where Aenean with the help of gods arrived after leaving Troy/Tyre; in the ancient homelands of the Labas, the river Ganges was the main river along with Daya or Dio; Elbe which is again as same as the Alborg and Alaba was not far away from Triveni, the three rivers-meeting point that marks the source of the river Ganges.
