(Salisbury Plain, South England, c.2000 BC)

SummaryStonehenge consists of the Sarsen Circle, the Horse Shoe and the Slaughter Stone. The Sarsen Circle has thirty joined trilithons (three stones), which can be considered as three groups of five separate trilithons. The Horse Shoe is another group of five sepa-rate trilithons. These four groups of five trilithons tell the story of the discovery of A-merica by the 5th king Menkaure (c.2570 BC) of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. He reached North America via the southern Aleutian islands at the latitude of Stonehenge, at 51°N.However, they also tell the story of the discovery of the four Atlantic crossings in the Fifth Dynasty. The ‘separate trilithon’ is the most important unit in Stonehenge. The two uprights encode the 2nd king Sahure, who discovered the two southern crossings of the Ocean. The third stone, the lintel, encodes the 3rd king Neferirkare, who disco-vered the third, northern crossing. - The monument dates from the start of the Twelfth Dynasty, c.2000 BC.

Old StonehengeStonehenge is probably the most important monument of the Megalithic Culture of Western Europe. It is located 3 km west of Amesbury, at the River Avon, in Wiltshire, and about 13 km north of the town of Salesbury, South England. The distance to the south coast is 50 km, and northwest, to the Channel of Bristol, about 70 km. It was built on Salisbury Plain, at 51°N, well visible from all sides, at an elevation of 100 m above sea level. (Refs.1-6) The meridian, or north-south line of Stonehenge hits Cape de la Hague, Normandy, in the south, at 50°N, and (almost) the Shetland Islands in the north, at 60°N.

Stonehenge was built in two distinct phases. The old monument was basically an earth-work with a circular wall and outside ditch, having an overall diameter of 111 m (Fig.1, Refs.9,12). The original width and height of both wall and ditch each were 5.5 m and 1.6 m, respectively. Four so-called Stationstones were placed at the corners of a rectangle. Stationstone 91 (at the right side above) has a height of 2.2 m, and Stationstone 93 (at the left side below) has a height of only 1.2 m (both diameters are c.0.5 m). The Sunmound and the Moonmound had original heights similar to the wall, c.1.6 m. Most of the menhirs (upright stones) near the Avenue have disappeared, but the Heel Stone at the end is still present, having a height of 5.0 m (and a diameter of c.1.5 m). The Avenue has an overall width of c.28 m. (Refs.1-3,9)

The main axis of the monument points to the center of the Avenue, in northeastern di-rection (39° NE), which is to the rise of the midsummer Sun. Seen from important Sta-tionstone 93 (at the left side below) the Sunmound points in the same direction, which explains its name. The Moonmound points in the direction of the most southerly rise of the full Moon. At the latitude of Stonehenge, at 51°N (indicated by the east-west axis), these two directions are at right angles to each other. (Refs.10-12)

These features of the monument were explained by us in terms of the ancient Egyptian Sun religion. The rise of the midsummer Sun is symbolic for the SunGod Ra. The Sun-mound is symbolic for the sungod Horus, and the Moonmound represents the moongod Osiris. The Egyptian kings and pharaohs were the substitutes of these last mentioned gods. Finally, the large circular wall represents Maat, the Egyptian goddess of law and order in the universe, because it resembles the ‘wheel of the law’. (Refs.12,13)

However, Stonehenge I also has a geographic meaning. The large circle represents the spherical Earth, where all the land (the wall) is surrounded by sea (the ditch). It ap-pears they found a way (the Avenue) to cross the Ocean (the outside ditch). The dis-covered sailing route is indicated by the menhirs of the Avenue, as shown in Fig.2 (Refs.9,12). Successively the megalith builders discovered the Faroes, Iceland, and Greenland, at the holy Arctic Circle, at 67°N. We know they also discovered Cape

Farvel, the south cape of Greenland, but they gave up crossing Davis Strait, c.3200 BC. It was the reason they built this monument! (Refs.10-12)

New StonehengeMuch later a completely different monument was built in the center of the earth circle (Fig.3, Ref.3). It is the real subject of this article. People erected the Sarsen Circle, the Horse Shoe, and the Slaughter Stone.

The Sarsen Circle has an inner diameter of 30 m, and a height of 5.0 m. It consists of 30 joined trilithons. Each trilithon contains two upright stones and one lintel, or cover stone (literally three stones). However, the Circle may also be considered as a collecti-on of 15 separate trilithons, or as a construction with 30 uprights and 30 lintels, toge-ther 60 stones. Each upright has a height of 4.4 m, a width of 2.2 m, and a thickness of 1,1 m. The space between two uprights is also 1.1 m. Note, that one of the uprights (# 11) is of half width. The lintel has smaller dimensions. It has a length of 3.3 m, a height of 0.6 m, and a thickness of 1.1 m, again. It is slightly curved to fit the circular design of the Sarsen Circle. (Refs.1-3)

The Horse Shoe consists of five separate trilithons, and it has a diameter of about 14 m. The two trilithons closest to the Avenue have a height of 6.3 m, the central ones a height of 6.8 m, and the remaining one is highest with a height of 7.5 m. The lintels now run to the very ends of the trilithons, of course. The dimensions of both uprights and lintels are bigger than in the Sarsen Circle, about in proportion to the heights of the mentioned trilithons, but the internal space between the uprights is clearly smaller. The Horse Shoe may also be considered as a construction having 10 uprights and 5 lintels, together 15 stones.

Note, that both uprights and lintels are dressed stones with the shape of a block, having six rectangular sides. The trilithons have a similar shape. - The Slaughter Stone is the third feature of the new monument. It was erected close to the wall of the earth circle, in the open space leading to the Avenue. It also is a dressed stone, with an original height of 5.0 m, a width of 2.1 m, and a thickness of 0.9 m. All stones are a kind of

sandstone, called Sarsen, having a grey colour. Mortar was not used in the construction of the trilithons, probably because it was not invented yet. (Refs.1-3)

It is clear that the new construction was built with a lot of respect for the old monu-ment. The Sarsen Circle has 30 joined trilithons, corresponding to the Nile Delta, at 30°N. It refers to the ancient Egyptian Sun religion, again. The Horse Shoe is oriented to the rise of the midsummer Sun, symbolic for the SunGod Ra. The Sarsen Circle symbolizes the sungod Horus, because it has the dominant shape of the Sun. However, it has 29.5 uprights, encoding the 29.5 days of the Synodical month, which is the time periode between two full moons. So, it clearly refers to the moongod Osiris, represen-ted by the Horse Shoe in the center of the monument. It appears the kings and phara-ohs of Egypt still were the substitutes of the last mentioned gods. (Refs.12,13)

Egyptian Discovery of America: the Bering SeaThe new monument also has a geographic meaning. Stonehenge I revealed the disco-very of the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland, before c.3200 BC. Without any investiga-tion it is already obvious that the new construction will reveal the discovery of Ameri-ca, before c.2000 BC. This famous story is well-known from many other megalithic monuments (Refs.14-27). The construction date of c.2000 BC is well established by many corrected Carbon-14 measurements on the site. (Refs.1-6)

Datings in late megalithic monuments were revealed by the megalith builders using dynasties and kings encodings. The Sarsen Circle shows a “New World” was discover-ed, because it has the circular shape of the planet Earth. Its diameter is about one third of the earth circle, so about one third of all the land on Earth was discovered. The Hor-se Shoe has the shape of the continent of North America. The open end in the direction of the Avenue means “the land continues to the north”. (Ref.12)

Both constructions consist together of 3+1= 4 groups of 5 separate trilithons (3x5+5= 4x5 ST’s), which show the discovery of America by the 5th king Menkaure (Myceri-nos, c.2580-2562 BC) of the Fourth Dynasty. This discovery occured via the southern Aleutian islands at the south side of the Bering Sea, at about 50°N. The site of Stone-henge itself, at 51°N, provides the exact latitude of this discovery! (Ref.18)

The 15 separate trilithons of the Sarsen Circle illustrate the almost simultaneous disco-very of the crossing of the Bering Strait, 15° above the southern Aleutian islands, at 51+15= 66°N. These trilithons consist of 30 uprights and 15 lintels, together 30+15, or 40+5= 45 stones, which show the 5th king Menkaure of the Fourth Dynasty returned via the Bering Strait. The 15 lintels between the ‘separate trilithons’ confirm its latitu-de, at 51+15= 66°N.

The Horse Shoe has the approximate shape of the Aleutian Islands chain, stretching from Asia to North America, at 51+5= 56°N. It consists of 5 trilithons, confirming the discovery of America by the 5th king Menkaure via southern Aleutian islands, at c.50°N. These trilithons consist of 10 uprights and 5 lintels, together 15 stones, confir-ming the return route of this king via the Bering Strait, at 51+15= 66°N.

The Arctic Circle, at 67°N, is a holy line in the Sun religion. It is the northernmost line the Sun still shines at midwinter day. At this day the Sun is at right angles above the Tropic of Capricorn, at 90-67= 23°S, represented by important Stationstone 93 of the old monument (at the left side below). Note, that the four Stationstones make angles of 23° with the axis through the center, at right angles to the main axis of Stonehenge I (Fig.1). The Slaughter Stone of the new monument confirms the latitude of the Bering Strait, 1° below the Arctic Circle, at 67-1= 66°N. (Ref.12)

Stonehenge has 30+10= 40 uprights, confirming the discovery of America in the Fourth Dynasty. All uprights and lintels are stone blocks with rectangular sides. Each rectangle has four sides, confirming it many times. Each stone block has 6 rectangular sides, confirming this discovery during the six dynasties of the Old Kingdom, 75 ti-mes. Stonehenge has a total of 40 uprights and 35 lintels, together 40+35= 75 stones, with a total of 75x6= 450 rectangular sides, confirming the discovery of America by the 5th king Menkaure of the Fourth Dynasty (400+50= 450).

Note, that the old monument, at 51°N, already had an important rectangle between the four Stationstones. It suggests, that the discovery of America in the Fourth Dynasty, via the southern Aleutian islands at this latitude, had been predicted … The beauty of this coincidence had stimulated the erection of the new monument. (Refs.12-19)

Two Southern Crossings of the AtlanticThe Sarsen Circle and the Horse Shoe consist together of 3+1= 4 groups of 5 separate trilithons (3x5+5= 4x5 ST’s), which show the discovery of the four Atlantic crossings

in the next, Fifth Dynasty. The 15 separate trilithons of the Sarsen Circle encode the southern Cape Verde islands, at 15°N. The 15 lintels between the ‘separate trilithons’ confirm the latitude. The 10+5= 15 stones of the Horse Shoe confirm it, again.

The 30 joined trilithons of the Circle encode the sailing direction of the Southern Cros-sing from these islands, with the wind and the current, 30° SSW. The 30 uprights and 30 lintels confirm it, twice. The Sarsen Circle and the Horse Shoe have a total of 4x5= 20 separate trilithons, corresponding to the sailing distance of 2 Moiras, or 20°. These two constructions confirm the 2nd king Sahure (c.2510-2498 BC), who discovered this crossing. The Horse Shoe consists of 5 separate trilithons, encoding the point of arri-val, Cape São Rock (the Holy Rock), Brazil, at 5°S. It confirms the discovery of the Southern Crossing in the Fifth Dynasty.

The 4 groups of five separate trilithons, just mentioned, encode Cape Race, the SE Cape of Newfoundland, 4° below Stonehenge, at 51-4= 47°N. It is the start of the Re-turn Route, with the wind and the current, across the Ocean. The Sarsen Circle and the Horse Shoe have a total of 4x5= 20 separate trilithons, corresponding to the (initial) sailing direction of 20° ESE, and the sailing distance of 2 Moiras, or 20°, to the two is-lands of the West Azores. These two constructions confirm the 2nd king Sahure (c.2510-2498 BC), who had to return to the Old World. So, he discovered the two southern crossings of the Ocean. (Refs.12,13,25-29)

The West Azores are located at the complementary latitude of Stonehenge, at 90-51= 39°N. In antiquity, the use of complementary latitudes was very common. The Azores consist of three island groups with a total of 2+5+2= 9 islands. The two western Sta-tionstones symbolize the two islands of the West Azores, the five trilithons of the Hor-se Shoe represent the five islands of the Central Azores, and the two eastern Station-stones are the two islands of the East Azores (see Fig.3, Ref.12)

The 30 joined trilithons of the Sarsen Circle, the 5 trilithons of the Horse Shoe, and the 4 Stationstones form together 30+5+4= 39 units, confirming the West Azores, at 39°N. These two islands are situated 51-39= 12° below Stonehenge, confirming the 12 years of reign of king Sahure. The Sarsen Circle has 10 separate ‘double trilithons’. Together with the two western Stationstones, representing the two islands, these form 10+2= 12 units, confirming his 12 years of reign. The ‘double trilithons’ each consist of 3 up-rights and 2 lintels, together 5 stones, confirming the Fifth Dynasty, when the double continent of America was reached for the first time.

The Sarsen Circle and the Horse Shoe have a total of 4x5= 20 separate trilithons, cor-responding to the island of Sta Maria (East Azores), 2° below the West Azores, at 39-2= 37°N. The 4 groups of five separate trilithons, just mentioned, encode the two is-lands of Madeira, 4° below Sta Maria, at 37-4= 33°N. Each trilithon consists of three stones, confirming its latitude, 3° above the Nile Delta, at 30+3= 33°N.

Northern CrossingThe meridian, or north-south line of Stonehenge (almost) hits the Shetland Islands in the north, at 60°N. The third feature, the Slaughter Stone, makes an angle of 60° with the sight line from Stationstone 93 (at the left side below) over the Moonmound (Stati-onstone 92), confirming its important latitude (Fig.2, Ref.12). This third feature shows, the 3rd king Neferirkare (c.2498-2478 BC) discovered the northern crossing from the Shetland Islands, via the south cape of Greenland, to Cape Chidley, Canada, at the complementary latitude of the Nile Delta, at 90-30= 60°N. (Refs.14-27)

The Sarsen Circle consists of 30 joined trilithons, confirming this discovery of the 3rd king at 90-30= 60°N. This Circle has 30 uprights and 30 lintels, together 60 stones, confirming it three times. The Sarsen Circle consists of three groups of five separate trilithons, confirming the discovery of the northern crossing at 90-30= 60°N by the 3rd king Neferirkare of the Fifth Dynasty.

The Horse Shoe consists of five ‘trilithons’ (three stones), confirming it. It has the shape of south Greenland, and the biggest trilithon represents its south cape. The Sar-sen Circle consists of three groups of five separate ‘trilithons’, confirming it, too. The Sarsen Circle and the Horse Shoe have a total of 4x5= 20 separate trilithons, confir-ming the 20 years of reign of the king. (Ref.12)

The trilithon is the most important unit at Stonehenge. It has two uprights, which re-present the 2nd king Sahure, who discovered the two southern crossings. It also has a

third stone, the lintel. It represents the third king Neferirkare, who discovered the third, northern crossing. It has the shape of a door, because these kings discovered the sailing routes across the Atlantic to America, at the back side of the planet Earth. The Horse Shoe contains five trilithons, because these crossings were discovered in the Fifth Dynasty. The Sarsen Circle has 30 joined trilithons, because these were Egyptian kings of the Nile Delta, at 30°N. (Refs.12-18,23-25)

Bermuda CrossingEach trilithon consists of three stones, encoding Abaco Island, northern Bahama’s, 3° below the Nile Delta, at 30-3= 27°N. The four Stationstones confirm its latitude, 4° a-bove the Tropic of Cancer, at 23+4= 27°N. It is the departure point for the island of Bermuda. The Sarsen Circle and the Horse Shoe encode its latitude, 2° above the Nile Delta, at 30+2= 32°N. The Horse Shoe consists of 5 trilithons, confirming it, 5° above Abaco Island, at 27+5= 32°N. The West Azores are located at the complementary lati-tude of Stonehenge, 51-39= 12° below the site, encoding the sailing distance from A-baco Island to Bermuda, 12 moiras, or 12°. (Refs.12,13,28)

The four Stationstones and the five trilithons of the Horse Shoe symbolize the 4+5= 9 islands of the Azores (Fig.3). It confirms the latitude of Bermuda, 9° above the holy Tropic of Cancer, at 23+9= 32°N. So, the ninth and last king Unas (c.2403-2370 BC) discovered the return route via Bermuda to the nine islands of the Azores. The 30 joined trilithons of the Sarsen Circle correspond to the long sailing distance, with the wind and the current, 3 Moiras, or 30°. The latitude of Madeira, at 33°N, confirms his 33 years of reign. The five trilithons of the Horseshoe show it was a king of the Fifth Dynasty. The meridian of Stonehenge hits Cape de la Hague, Normandy, at 50°N, and runs across England over a distance of 5 moiras, or 5°, confirming it, twice.

Realm of the DeadThe Horse Shoe symbolizes North America, but also South America, because it has the approximate shape of that continent. The open end in the direction of the Avenue means “the land continues to the north”. The Sarsen Circle has 30 joined trilithons and the Horse Shoe has 5 trilithons. Together with the Slaughter Stone it forms 30+5+1= 36 units, encoding both the Strait of Gibraltar, at 36°N, and the circumference of the planet Earth, 36 Moiras, or 360°. So, people circumnavigated the Earth.

Finally, the Horse Shoe symbolizes a part of Central America. The Sarsen Circle con-tains 15 separate trilithons, encoding Cape Gracias à Dios (‘Thank God’), the northeast cape of Honduras, at 15°N. The Horse Shoe consists of 5 separate, bigger trilithons, corresponding to the important area of the ancient Maya civilization, between 15°N and 15+5= 20°N. It is also the area of the ancient civilization of the Olmecs around the Gulf of Campeche, Mexico, and the Horse Shoe has the shape of that Gulf. (Ref.12)

The number of separate trilithons of both the Sarsen Circle and the Horse Shoe, finish-ing at the biggest trilithon at the bottom, equals 15+3= 18, encoding the south point of the Gulf of Campeche, Mexico, at 18°N. It is the center of the famous Land of Punt. It is also the center of the Realm of the Dead in the west, at the other side of the waters (the Ocean), in the Land where the Sun sets (America), as stated by the Egyptian Sun-God Ra. Two Egyptian hieroglyphs are based on a map of this area (Ref.25).

It is the center of the ‘Netherworld’, or ‘Underworld’, the Land of the moongod Osiris, the focus of the Egyptian religion, roughly 18 Moiras, or 180° west of Egypt (which is half the circumference of the Earth). The ancient Egyptian “Book of the Dead” (1500 to 250 BC) contains about 180 “Spells”, dealing with a spiritual voyage to America via the “Portals of the West”. Pictures of these rectangular Doors closely resemble the trilithons of Stonehenge. (Refs.12,13,30-32,37)

The 15+3= 18 separate trilithons also correspond to the 18 years of reign of king Men-kaure (c.2580-2562 BC) of the Fourth Dynasty, who discovered America at the back si-de of the planet Earth. Unas, the last king of the Fifth Dynasty, discovered Bermuda, at 32°N. This island is located 50-32= 18° below the southern Aleutian islands near the 50th latitude line, confirming these 18 years. The island of Madeira, at 33°N, is located 51-33= 18° below Stonehenge, confirming it, again.

Date of StonehengeIn c.2344 BC a Comet Catastrophe caused the so-called Biblical Flood. It was a two-stage event lasting 2+2= 4 months, which resulted in 2.6 million casualties worldwide (54% of the world population). The total precipitation was c.9 meters of water. It hap-

pened during the reign of the 1st king Teti (c.2370-2338 BC) of the Sixth Dynasty. It ended all ancient civilizations on Earth, including the Old Kingdom itself. Because of this terrible event the number of megalithic monuments celebrating the discovery of America is limited, and a construction date in the Sixth Dynasty is not very probable. (Refs.13,33-35)

Stonehenge is located in South England, at 51°N (c.50°N), at the east side of the North Atlantic Ocean. For that reason it celebrates the discovery of the Atlantic Crossings in the Fifth Dynasty in the first place. So, the ‘double trilithon’, consisting of 3 uprights and 2 lintels, together 3+2= 5 stones, is now important. The Sarsen Circle contains 10 separate “double trilithons”. Together with the Slaughter Stone it might form 10+1= 11 units, corresponding to the Eleventh Dynasty. Together with the 2 ‘double trilithons’ of the Horse Shoe it might form 10+2= 12 units, corresponding to the Twelfth Dynas-ty. So, it appears the construction date is between both Dynasties, which is c.2007 BC.

America was discovered in the Fourth Dynasty. For that reason the 40th latitude line is important. Stonehenge is located 51-40= 11° above this latitude line, corresponding to the Eleventh Dynasty. The 30 joined trilithons of the Sarsen Circle is a prominent feature of Stonehenge. The angle between two adjacent trilithons equals 360/30= 12°, encoding the Twelfth Dynasty. This Circle encodes the important area of the Mississippi Delta, at the same latitude of the Nile Delta, at 30°N. It is located 30-18= 12° above the south point of the Gulf of Campeche, Mexico, confirming a construction date in the Twelfth Dynasty. The important island group of the West Azores is located at the complementary latitude of Stonehenge, 51-39= 12° below the site, confirming it, too.

Our conclusion is, that Stonehenge was constructed between both mentioned Dynas-ties, which is c.2007 BC. Stonehenge has been dated c.2000 BC by several corrected Carbon-14 measurements (Refs.1-6). It is a date at the start of the Twelfth Dynasty, when people were recovered from the Biblical Flood.

DiscussionStonehenge is a very complicated site, which has been updated several times between its first design in c.3200 BC and its final stage in c.1500 BC. This article only deals with the main features of Stonehenge III of c.2000 BC, and only with the dynasties and kings encodings related to the discovery of America. Our book “How the SunGod Reached America” tells much more about this interesting story. (Ref.12)

People should realize that the megalith builders did not have a script. They simply could not agree about a certain set of characters to express their most important thoughts. Most of the time this was not a problem at all, but once in a while there was an important development in their society. At these rare moments people wanted to express their feelings, thoughts and emotions to the future generations to come, and at these occasions they started to update their holy monuments. They changed the land-scape with durable materials, like earth and stone, to tell the big news.

The Heel Stone is the most important menhir of Stonehenge I. It makes an angle of 67° with the sight line from important Stationstone 93 (at the left side below) to the Moonmound (Stationstone 92), encoding the discovery of Greenland, at 67°N (Fig.2). Seen from the Aubrey Hole at the extreme left side, it makes an angle of 60°, encoding

the discovery of Cape Farvel, the south cape of Greenland, at 60°N. The left side of the menhir just makes an angle of 61°, referring to the SW Cape, at 61°N. (Ref.12)

The weathered Heel Stone has a triangular carving, down along the front edge, which symbolizes Iceland (Fig.7, difficult to see). It also has a deep horizontal carving higher on the stone, which represents the east coast of Greenland. The edge near the top was the, partly unknown, west coast of Greenland. - The name of the ‘Heel Stone’ is easy to understand. The long east coast is the ‘leg’, and the south coast between Cape Farvel and the SW Cape is the ‘foot’. At the SW Cape of Greenland people gave up crossing Davis Strait (c.3200 BC). However, in the monument, shown in Fig.2, the Stone represents basically Cape Farvel, or the ‘Heel’, at 60°N. It explains its name!

The kings who discovered America were famous all over the World. The peninsula of Korea is called after king Menkaure (c.2570 BC), who brought law and order to this part of the world. The huge Sahara Desert in Africa is called after king Sahure (c.2504 BC), who crossed the Atlantic for the first time. The towns of Cardiff and Caernarfon in Wales, the last one at 50+3= 53°N, are called after the 3rd king Neferirkare (c.2490 BC) of the Fifth Dynasty, who reached Baffin Island, Canada, for the first time. The country of Peru in South America is probably named after king Unas (c.2390 BC), who discovered the island of Bermuda. Peru is an abbreviation of Per-Unas, meaning ‘House of Unas’.

Ancient History of AmericaThere is no area in science in a more primitive stage as the research dealing with the ancient history of America. In 1991, when I started in this field, the vast majority of specialists firmly believed in the discovery of America by Columbus in 1492. Some critics noticed the existence of a Viking site in L’Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, and argued that America was visited previously, in c.1000. Most of these critics were ignored, but now and then a vigorous conflict emerged. The main conclusions were that a single site does not prove anything, and if the identification of the site happened to be correct, then its influence could be completely ignored, together with the critics.

Now, twenty years later, in 2011, the situation has not improved significantly. The headlines of America’s past have not been defined in a new manner, partly due to lack of positive results. However, the main reason is that books and articles which promote a different view are not widely studied, let alone accepted, by both amateurs and aca-demics, which should read these works without any bias. A new generation of Ameri-cans will grow up without any correct knowledge about their pre-Columbian past, sim-ply because America’s population of almost one billion men is not well informed. In the best case the history teacher will explain, that there is presently some doubt about certain facts, previously thought to be correct (Ref.36).

Christopher Columbus did not discover America in 1492. He sailed to America to celebrate the first Crossing of the Atlantic by the 2nd king Sahure (c.2510-2498 BC) of the Fifth Dynasty, exactly 4,000 years earlier, in the year of 1492-4000= 2508 BC. The double continent of America has not been known by the whole world for 500 years, but for 4,500 years, which is nine times longer in the past.

The capital of Beijing, China (c.20 million inhabitants) is founded at 40°N, and the Great Wall of China starts and ends at this important latitude, in honor of the Fourth Dynasty. The complementary latitude of 90-40= 50°N shows it was the 5th king Men-kaure of this Dynasty, who brought law and order, and also civilization to the people of this great nation.

The Megalithic Culture of Europe possessed two major religious centers, an old one on the island of Malta, at 36°N, and a later one in the Boyne Valley, Ireland, at 90-36= 54°N. Both centers deal with the early spreading of the Sun religion over the planet Earth, having a circumference of 36 Moiras, or 360°. – Note, that the present Christian religion is based on the old Sun religion. The circumference of the Earth equals 40,000 km. This round number of five figures is in honor of the 5th king Menkaure of the Fourth Dynasty, who discovered America.
