CANADIAN DISCOVERY

Once I read a claim in a newspaper that weCanadians were slower and less inventive than othernations in research and finding new scientific ortechnical ideas. This seems untrue. Canadians arediscoverers but the publishing industry’s firewallsoften block such good ideas or intriguing subjects. Bythat attitude they keep losing readership and make thesocial media soar. It is hard to find publishersserving the advancement of sciences like archaeology,history or astronomy.

In 1984, a Canadian utilized the brain of an 89-year old lady living in Budapest to decipher themysterious Yarmouth “Runic Stone” inscription in NovaScotia. It is our first written record of Canada’sdiscovery by the Norsemen, often called Vikings. She,the designer of almost 150 crossword puzzles, turnedthe runic script upside down and read it from right toleft as “[Eric]son has been at this place, too, withhis com[panions].” The Transylvanian ‘Scythian Hun’runes say in Hungarian, “[Erik]son járt e helyen [fon.‘hejen’] is sok tár[sával].” Three newspapers publishedit but not in English or French. Two books, Atlantis: theseven seals (Vancouver, 1984) and Desert Island (1996),showed her decipherment. Then she received a thank youletter from Canada’s ambassador to Hungary for herwork. In the 1980s, the volumes of the EncyclopaediaHungarica (Calgary) published this runic text of aSoutherner called Tyrkir or Türker, foster father ofLeif Ericson. The Magyars were called Turks in that

1

century, a millennium ago. The old lady’s name wasSzilva Lajosné [‘the wife of Louis Szilva’ in English],née Maria Irma Rabl, 1895-1994. She was my lovinggrandmother.

Mrs. Rabl had a hard life. During World War II, in1945, thirty Soviet soldiers were stationing in herhouse. She had to cook for them, wash and mend theiruniforms. One day a drunken soldier demanded fire fromher husband. When he pulled out his lighter, the manthought it was a revolver and shot him in the elbow.She ran out and applied a twisted towel as atourniquet. She saved his life but there were nosurgeons so his arm had to be amputated. (There areurban legends about those soldiers – half of them werenot Russians. They got a fish and kept it in a toiletbowl. One of them flushed it accidentally and the fishdisappeared so the toilet was called “stealingmachine.” They collected wristwatches, often had manyof those on their arms. Another soldier got a bike butcould not ride it. He punished it by his machine gun.They have never seen such machines before.)

The beautifully illustrated “Desert Island ofRobinson Crusoe” or “Crusoe’s real island in CostaRica” is based on Mr. Robinson’s true autobiographyedited by Defoe. Its limited paperback version provesthat his island still exists. Crusoe considered it hisown property and Defoe agreed with him not to revealits true location. The real topography of the islandmatches well with his description. His man-made cave isfound between Chatham Bay and Wafer Bay, above the

Villa de Beatriz on Cocos Island. Crusoe recorded a fewwords of his man Friday. You can find them in aSpanish-Térraba dictionary. Thus, Friday was the firstcannibal that visited London in 1687, from the Térrabanation living in southern Costa Rica. Finally, if westudy hundreds of old maps in northern Russia, we findthat the detailed description of Mr. Robinson’s routein his Further Adventures is better than anyone else’s inthose days, including ambassador Ides. (Crusoetravelled from Beijing to Arkhangelsk in 1703-4.) Thus,he must have been a real person.

Thanks to the excellent library system of Canada,with interlibrary loans and helpful librarians fromVictoria to Ottawa, one is able to become proficient inancient history, too. We can learn that that Scottishchronicler John of Fordun (died c. 1384) has given theexact interval from the Exodus (of the Jewish andIrish-Scottish ancestors out of Egypt) to AD 839 whenKenneth MacAlpin destroyed the Picts. Another intervalfrom the Exodus to the tenth year of King Darius, inthe Annals of Inisfallen, yields the same date.Interestingly, in the 41st year after the Exodus, wefind a pair of eclipses, lunar and solar a fortnightapart. After forty years in the desert, the Israelitesof Joshua had a long battle at Gibeon when the sun andthe moon stopped on the sky, almost for – or on – theself-same day. Modern bible scholars claim that theEarth stopped rotating for a day. They are wrong: suchcommon description refers to two eclipses. Indeed, theend of the lunar eclipse happened about 26 degrees

above the horizon. The matching small solar eclipsetook place near noon.

Also, we may learn of the longest cover-up in humanhistory. Someone invented about 2000 years ago thatJesus Christ was crucified on a Friday. Since then, allChristians echoed this without thinking, contradictingJesus’ words. He was buried for three days and threenights as we read in Matthew 12:40, Mark 8:31, and Luke24:13 and 21 but there were only two nights betweenFriday evening and Sunday morning, the Resurrection. Hewas crucified on Thursday, before a long weekend withtwo Sabbath days or holidays. The high holy Sabbath(the feast of Passover) began Thursday at sunset andfell on Friday, followed by a regular Sabbath. John(12:1 and 12-13) and Luke (14:1) support this: thereligious assembly was on Sabbath (Saturday), one daybefore Palm Sunday. Six days after that dinner, thePassover took place on Friday. He was crucified on theday before Friday. The Jewish Thursday – from sundown ofApril 5 till sunset of April 6 – fell on PreparationDay. Passover was celebrated between the sunsets ofApril 6 and April 7. The Sky View Café software gives22:06 on April 6, 30 CE for the moment of true fullmoon in Jerusalem’s local time.

Jesus died in AD 30, not in 33. The comet appearingfor the three magi in the spring of 5 BC was recordedin the Far East as Hasegawa’s Catalogue of Ancient and Naked-eye Comets shows. John (2:20) dates the beginning of thetemple’s construction 46 years before the Passover ofAD 29 (or 28). Herod’s accession year started in the

4

summer of 37 BC, and his first regnal year in thespring of 36 BC. Josephus wrote that Herod started tobuild the temple in his eighteenth regnal year, so theforty-six years are correct.

More search in Canada’s libraries and the Internet(www.skyviewcafe.com) let us learn that the Trojan Warended in 1182 BC. Rome’s foundation by Romulus tookplace in 745 BC, a few weeks before a solar eclipse.Romulus was conceived in the womb during an eclipse ofthe sun and he was eighteen at the foundation. He diedin his 37th regnal year, during a third solar eclipseon 17 July 709 BC. Another hero of the ancient worldwas Hercules (1280-1228 BC). He was conceived during asolar eclipse at daybreak when Zeus extended thenuptial night of his parents in 1281 BC. At his age ofeighteen, he was a member of the Argonautic expedition.Sailing by the islet of Anaphi, an eclipse of the sunscared them in September 1261 BC. They cried andoffered sacrifices.

Herodotus recorded two solar eclipses during thePersian invasion of Greece. Xerxes has seen one inSardis on 17 February 478 BC. He wintered in Thessaly.At the end of next summer, on 1 August 477 BC, theeclipse of Cleombrotus happened. Herodotus the liar isright and the proud historians are wrong. The battlesof Thermopylae and Salamis took place in 478, not 480BC.

Our website named Correcting World History reveals asilenced alternative chronology based on astronomicaldates. (If alternative lifestyle exists, so does an

alternative universal history.) Official mainstreamhistorians seem two centuries too low about the AmarnaAge. They ignore that the sed-festivals in Egyptianrecords were celebrations of the rebirth of the sun andhis mirror image the pharaoh. Thus, we can identifythose eclipses in years 30, 34, and 37 of PharaohAmenophis III. In Year 5 of this Amenhotep III, ViceroyMerymose (Moses) had a victory at Ibhat or Ibhet inNubia in 1563 BC, recorded in the Semna Inscription.Moses cured the snakebite of Gathel, ancestor of theScots and Irish [Gaels] in that expedition. The name ofJethro, the father-in-law of Moses, appears in Amarnaletter EA296 as Yahtiru a few decades later.Deucalion’s flood and the three days of darkness inExodus were caused by the cataclysmic Thera explosion.

Mainstream scholars assume that each old tree ringcan be dated by the C-14 isotope and that the previoustree ring dies immediately after each year. Trees donot have brains so they cannot order their cells to dieby December 31. The sap containing carbonates keepscirculating in the “dead” tree rings for decades orcenturies, falsifying the scientific dates. Anchoringthem to a floating tree ring chronology by“calibration” hocus-pocus does not help.Dendrochronology or tree ring dating is inferior toastronomical dating.

My first book of 1978 mentioned a local traditionthat the burial place of Attila the Hun (391-453) wasin a small island in the Danube at Moldova Veche. Asthe Carpathians are rising and the river is eroding its

6

bed, the hill became more visible. It seems that hisnew wife (H)ildiko poisoned him on his nuptial night,probably by rat poison (Warfarin) that caused hisbleeding. In 454, the battle of Nedao between his sonsprobably took place at the Nedava River in beautifulCroatia. In the chronicles about Attila, or theaccounts of Abraham (born 1871 BC, contemporary withKing Hammurabi a.k.a. Amraphel) and Sarai, a “year”apparently meant the interval between two equinoxes.Thus, the beautiful Sarai was not 90 but only 45 yearsold when she became pregnant for the first time, etc.

Mexico’s origins are the most interesting. TheToltecs recorded the “four ages of the world” from thetotal solar eclipse of 6 August 1240 BC to the one ofMarch 30, AD 1131. During the latter, the Mexicanewcomers, commonly called Aztecs, sacrificed thousandsof Chichimecs in Tula to whom a little old woman gavebanners. On the other hand, the Mexica recorded a totaleclipse of the sun in a year 13-Reed [on August 31, AD1011] when their “Fifth Sun” began in their ancestralland Aztlan [the Bahamas]. Then water covered most ofthe island for fifty-two years that made them quit inMarch 1064. They crossed over to Florida and migratednorthwards, settling at the [Divine] Snake Hill, theGreat Serpent Mound in Ohio. (Their seven caves stillexist nearby.) They built that mound in 1066 for thehonor of the great comet [Halley’s] assuming it was thesoul of Quetzalcoatl. Their codices often depicted thecomets as celestial serpents.

Most Mexicanists ignore The Codex Chimalpopoca,translated by John Bierhorst. It has the most reliablechronology and gives a fix point: the Mexica cut offthe ears of many Xochimilcans and showed the full bagto their king in 1243. The same event is depicted inthe Codex Boturini that starts with AD 1064, a 1-Flintyear. The Aztecs had two wars a hundred years apart (in1247 and 1347), then Acamapichtli reigned from 1350 to1403. The rest of their history is clear.

But let us return to Canada. After the weird MeechLake Accord days – “every Canadian is equal but someare more equal” we survived the 1995 Quebec Referendum.50.58% of the voters rejected Quebec’s sovereignty. Afew days later a top newspaper published the resultsbroken down by ridings. Being still furious for theartificially created panic about Canada’s end, Icalculated curiously the ratio between the ‘yes’ andtotal number of valid votes in each riding. The resulton my map was exciting: using the percentage closest tothe two-thirds majority there was still a narrowcorridor along the US border. It meant that theMaritimes would still be connected to the ROC (Rest OfCanada) and Quebec would not have a border with the US– a bad news for separatists.

I wrote a long paper for sixty selected veryinfluential Canadians, parties, premiers, ministers andthe media (Southam Inc.). The letters included my mapshowing in black, as the colour of mourning, the areasin central Quebec that could separate by the 67% rule.Two other maps (one from Andrees Handatlas, 1907, another

8

from the National Atlas of Canada) illustrated that Quebec’snorthern parts originally belonged to the Dominion ofCanada.

Soon a federal minister then former P.M. Chrétienechoed my conclusions and suggested rule forseparation. The newspapers published an excellentarticle of Conrad Black that was a watershed ending thepanic and calming the country. He based his conclusionson my findings and added the principle, in his ownwords: If a country can be partitioned, then a provincecan be partitioned as well. A book of 2013 mentions“Stéphane Dion, who early on argued that if Canada canbe partinioned, so can Quebec.” The fact is that thewording was used by Mr. Black first so he has thecredit for it. Mr. Dion sent me a negative reply in1995 against my suggestion. Ovide Mercredi was silent.The friendliest reaction was a three-page letterwritten by my favourite, Mr. Paul Martin then Ministerof Finance. He always listened to the opinions ofothers.

We may say a last word about Canada’s electoralridings. Our smart Prime Minister knows that if acountry and a province can be divided, so can those.His team started to split conservative-heavy ridingsinto two. Eventually they may create 240 out of 120.This way a huge Tory victory looms with 240 small seatsin Parliament on October 19. The opposition or ABCparties (i.e. Anything But Conservative) may get onesingle large seat representing the ROC, from coast tocoast. Canada’s future is a function of His mercy.
