The word galathayah (𐤂𐤋𐤈𐤉𐤄) or “Galatia” is an ancient area in the highlands of central Anatolia, roughly corresponding to the provinces of Ankara and Eskişehir, in modern Turkey. It was named after the Gauls or 𐤂𐤀𐤋𐤉𐤄 (Gaalayah) from Thrace, who settled there and became its ruling caste in the 3rd century BC (3525 ― 3625 A.M.), following the Gallic invasion of the Balkans in 279 BC (3646 A.M.). It has been called the “Gallia” of the East; Roman writers call its inhabitants Galli (Gauls or Celts).
The territory was bounded on the north by Bithynia and Paphlagonia, on the east by Pontus and Cappadocia, on the south by Cilicia and Lycaonia, and on the west by Phrygia. Its capital was Ancyra (i.e. Ankara, today the capital of modern Turkey).
The Paleo-Hebrew language or the original language of the Ābarayam is one spoken with an emphasis on the rauakh (breath, wind, spirit). With the language of the Ābarayam, each letter has a meaning and a number associated with it that adds meaning to each word they’re used with.

The Celtic
By the 4th century BC (3525 AM ― 3625 A.M.) the Celts had penetrated into the Balkans, coming into contact with the Thracians (Thayaras) and Greeks (Yauan). In 380 BC (3545 A.M.) they fought in the southern regions of Dalmatia (present-day Croatia), and rumors circulated around the ancient world that Alexander the Great’s father, Philip II of Macedonia had been assassinated by a dagger of Celtic origins.
Several ancient accounts mention that the Celts formed an alliance with Dionysius I of Syracuse who sent them to fight alongside the Macedonians against the Thebans. In 279 BC (3646 A.M.) two Celtic factions united under the leadership of Brennus and began to push southwards from southern Bulgaria towards the Greek states. A sizable force split off from this main group and headed toward Asia Minor.
The terms “Galatians” came to be used by the Greeks for the three Celtic peoples of Anatolia: the Tectosages, the Trocmii, and the Tolistobogii. By the 1st century BC (3825 ― 3925 A.M.) the Celts had become so Hellenized that some Greek writers called them Hellenogalatai (Ἑλληνογαλάται). The Romans (Adauamayam) called them Gallograeci. Though the Celts had, to a large extent, integrated into Hellenistic Asia Minor, they preserved their linguistic and ethnic identity.
The Roman (Rauamaay)
Upon the death of Deiotarus, the Kingdom of 𐤂𐤋𐤈𐤉𐤄 (Galathayah) was given to Amyntas, an auxiliary commander in the Roman (Adauamay → Rauamaay) army of Brutus and Cassius who gained the favor of Mark Antony. After his death in 25 BC (3900 A.M.), the territory was incorporated by Augustus into the Roman Empire, becoming a Roman province.
Near his capital Ancyra (modern Ankara), Pylamenes, the king’s heir, rebuilt a temple of the Phrygian god Men to venerate Augustus (the Monumentum Ancyranum), as a sign of fidelity. It was on the walls of this temple in 𐤂𐤋𐤈𐤉𐤄 (Galathayah) that the major source for the Res Gestae of Augustus was preserved for modernity. Few of the provinces proved more enthusiastically loyal to Rome.
