In this post, I am going to pull together research I have done in the past to show you the evidence I have found for what I believe has taken place here, and who was responsible for the world we live in today.

The corrupted world we live in today which was nothing like the incredibly advanced Moorish-Atlantean civilization that existed on Earth from ancient times to modern times when Humanity was functioning collectively at a much higher level of consciousness before it was destroyed, and not that long ago.

As I have said before, my working hypothesis is that the circuit board of the Earth’s original energy grid system was deliberately destroyed relatively recently by one or more forms of directed frequency or energy of some kind into different places on the Earth’s grid, causing the surface of the Earth to undulate and buckle.

What I am seeing from tracking leylines all over the Earth, looking from place-to-place at cities in alignment over long-distances, are the consistent presence of swamps, marshes, bogs, deserts, dunes, and places where it appears land masses sheared-off and submerged under the bodies of water we see today.

I believe the malevolent, parasitic beings behind the cataclysm were shovel-ready to dig enough of the original infrastructure out of the ruined Earth so they could be used and civilization restarted as the New World Order, which I think started in earnest in the mid-to-late 1700s and early 1800s.

There’s extensive underground infrastructure where those living on Earth at that time could have survived until the surface of the Earth was habitable.

Then they only used the pre-existing infrastructure until they found replacement fuel sources that could be monetized and controlled by them for what had originally been a free-energy power grid and transportation system worldwide, and when what remained of the original infrastructure was no longer useful to them, or inconvenient to their agenda, they had it destroyed, discontinued, or abandoned, typically in a very short time after it was said to have been constructed.

While this new parasitic self-styled elite class lived in the lap of luxury, and helped themselves to the best of everything, they had little care for anyone or anything else.

The same story repeats all over the country with the Robber Barons coming in and setting up shop and taking control of everything, starting first in Pennsylvania and then expanding their activities outward from there through Appalachia, the present-day Great Lakes Region and all the way across the continent.

We learned in history class that this westward expansion was referred to as “Manifest Destiny,” a 19th-century belief that the United States was destined by God to expand its dominion across the entire continent.

But what if what we learn in school about our history is a complete and total fabrication, and something very different was going on here from what we have been taught to believe – not for the benefit of all, but only for the benefit of a very few?

As I just mentioned, the story of what happened here to create the New World Order starts first in Pennsylvania, so that is where I will begin.

When I was doing research in 2024 for “On the Trail of Giants in Appalachia and Beyond,” I came across the Lehigh Gorge, its abandoned railroad tracks that are now a recreational rail-trail, and its Scenic Railway, and yet another place I can add to my list of places I know of off the top of my head featuring the co-location of S-shaped river bends, railroads, canals, gorges, and waterfalls that I have come to believe were part of the Earth’s original worldwide energy grid system.

The Lehigh Gorge is described as a “steep-walled gorge carved by a river, thick vegetation, rock-outcroppings, and waterfalls.”

The Lehigh Gorge Trail follows more than 20-miles, or 32-kilometers of the Delaware and Lehigh Trail, part of the larger Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, which is 165-miles, or 266-kilometers, -long.

The Lehigh Gorge Trail is on abandoned railroad grade beside the river.

This is what we are told about the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor by the National Park Service.

The Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor preserves the historic pathway that carried coal and iron from Wilkes-Barre to Philadelphia as a vital connection to nature, recreation and our nation’s industrial heritage, as well as having a more than $250-million per year economic impact for the region.

The Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor was also known as the “Anthracite Region” where the story of “where America was built” began.

What we are told about the Anthracite Region is this.

It was home at one time to major anthracite coal supplies and the mine-to-market process, with a legacy of intense mining, industrial development and rich mixture of ethnic cultures.

Anthracite coal was first mined in Wilkes-Barre in 1775, and we are told that it fueled urban development in the region, resulting in a string of towns, industries, mines, roads and rail-lines to the south.

It is interesting to note here that the Freiburg University of Mining and Technology, the oldest school of mining and metallurgy in the world, was established just 10-years prior to the beginning of anthracite coal-mining in Wilkes-Barre, having been established in 1765 by Francis Xavier of Saxony of the House of Wettin.

Its main purpose was the education of highly skilled miners and scientists in fields connected to mining and metallurgy.

Primarily through Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, first-cousins and members of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha of the Ernestine branch of the House of Wettin, the original royal houses of Europe were completely replaced by this obscure German Ducal lineage.

Alexander von Humboldt was a graduate of the Freiburg University of Mining and Technology.

He was a Prussian naturalist who in our narrative was a pioneer of the fields of biogeography and geomagnetism, and an explorer of the Americas between 1799 and 1804, starting with an exploration of Mount Teide on Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

Humboldt University in Berlin was named after Alexander von Humboldt and his brother Wilhelm.

It was first opened in 1810, and was regarded as one of the world’s pre-eminent universities in the study of Natural Sciences in the 1800s and 1900s.

Famous faculty and alumni included such famous names in our current historical narrative, besides the previously mentioned Alfred Wegener of Continental Drift fame, include: the theoretical physicist Albert Einstein; Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, c0-collaborators on “The Communist Manifesto;” Otto von Bismarck, first Chancellor of the German Empire; Georg Hegel, whose philosophy gave us the “Hegelian Dialectic” of Problem-Reaction-Solution; and the Brothers Grimm, best-known for their fairy tales which has such story-lines as eating people, as in “Little Red Riding Hood and “Hansel and Gretel.”

During the same time period as Alexander von Humboldt’s explorations were taking place between 1799 and 1804, the following historical events occurred as well.

We are told the Louisiana Purchase was the acquisition of the Territory of Louisiana by the United States from France with the signing of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty on April 30th of 1803, which was officially announced on July 4th of 1803.

It was said to have doubled the size of the United States and paved the way for the nation’s westward expansion.

One of the negotiators with France for the terms of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 on behalf of President Jefferson was the minor French nobleman Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, who was living in the United States at the time.

His son Éleuthère Irénée du Pont, a chemist and industrialist, founded the E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company to manufacture gunpowder and explosives in 1802, with the du Ponts becoming one of America’s richest families, with generations of influential businessmen, politicians and philanthropists.

The following year, in 1803, the Ames Shovel Shop was established in Easton, Massachusetts.

The Ames Shovel Shop became nationally known for providing the shovels for the Union Pacific Railroad, which opened the west. It was said to have been the world’s largest supplier of shovels in the 19th-century.

The Ames Brothers, Oakes and Oliver, Jr, co-owners of the shovel shop that was established by their father Oliver, were major players in the completion of the Union Pacific Railroad.

Also in 1803, the Lewis & Clark Expedition, also known as the Corps of Discovery, started on August 31, 1803 and lasted until September 25, 1806, with a mission to explore and map the newly acquired western portion of the country after the Louisiana Purchase.

When I tracked the history of the entire Lewis and Clark Expedition in Lewis and Clark & the Corps of Discovery – True History or Real Mystery?…

Lewis and Clark & the Corps of Discovery – True History or Real Mystery?

…not only did I find the Rockefellers and the Standard Oil Refinery in Wood River at the location of Camp Dubois on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, near Cahokia Mounds, which was the official starting point of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804…

…and John Jacob Astor’s presence with the American Fur Company’s fur-trading fort at Fort Pierre, a stopping point of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in Sioux country in present-day South Dakota…

…I found the presence of other big names in the beginnings of the corporatocracy in which we have been living under, like the “General Mills” multinational manufacturer and marketer of ultraprocessed foods sold through retail stores.

Like I said earlier in this post, it is my belief that as soon as they were able to after this cataclysmic event took place, these bloodline families and their related-minions came into the ruined lands of the Earth to explore, claim, harvest the resources of, and provide us with a new history and their new systems for power and control of the Earth and its people after the worldwide energy grid of the Old World was destroyed in a deliberately-caused cataclysmic event.

They would have had an immediate need for explosives and shovels in a post-cataclysmic world of recent occurrence to begin their recovery work in order to bring their new civilization back on-line from the remnants of the old civilization.

Now back to the Anthracite Region in Pennsylvania.

We are told that the demand for anthracite coal increased in the 1820s and 1830s as coal-power replaced water power, and with the growth of the iron industry in Pennsylvania.

Anthracite coal is the purest form of coal, and this region contains most of the world’s supply of anthracite coal.

Today, this part of northeastern Pennsylvania is considered one of the largest concentrations of disturbed terrain in the world, with billions of tons of debris found in the landscape of abandoned strip mines and this region has among the highest poverty and unemployment rates in the United States with job loss from the decrease in coal mining and the outmigration of people because of it.

We are told the American Canal Age was between 1790 and 1855, and started in Pennsylvania, where the first legislation surveying canals was passed in 1762.

The construction of the Union Canal between Middletown and Reading in Pennsylvania was said to have started under the administration of President George Washington in 1792, and completed in 1828, and was touted as the “Golden Link” in providing an early transportation route for shipping anthracite coal and lumber to Philadelphia.

The “Main Line of Public Works,” of which the Union Canal was a part of, was passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1826, and funded various transportation systems, including canal, road, and railroad.

This is Lock #5 of the old Union Canal.

This section of the Union Canal was said to have been closed after the dam holding the reservoir was washed away by a devastating flood in 1862, and the rest of the Union Canal was said to have been closed to use in 1885 because it could not compete with the “efficiency of the railroad.”

We are told the lower section of the Lehigh Canal was built between Easton, Pennsylvania and Mauch Chunk, now known as Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, with construction said to have been started in 1818, and completed in 1838.

This map also has a caption at the bottom that says this was the original Lehigh Valley Railroad line as well, which was said to have opened in 1855.

This is a view of the Lehigh Canal as it appeared at one time in our history in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania – located along this section in-between today’s Jim Thorpe and Easton.

The National Canal Museum in Easton is dedicated to telling the story of America’s historic towpath canals.

In Easton, the Lehigh Canal connected with the Pennsylvania Canal’s Delaware Division and the Morris Canal.

Also known as the Delaware Canal, the Pennsylvania Canal was said to have built the Delaware Canal to feed anthracite coal to Philadelphia in the years between 1828 and 1834.

It ran along the right bank of the Delaware River for 60-miles, or 97-kilometers, to Bristol, just north of Philadelphia.

The Morris Canal was 107-miles, or 172-kilometers, -long and said to have been completed in 1832 to carry anthracite coal across northern New Jersey between where it connected to the Delaware Canal in Easton, to what is today Jersey City on the Hudson River.

It was closed in 1924.

It was hailed as an ingenious, technological marvel for its use of water-driven, inclined planes.

The builders of the Morris Canal used a sophisticated power house technology, pictured here, to power the water turbine that was set in motion to raise or lower cradled boats on the inclined planes by means of a cable.

Yet they still needed mules to pull the canal boats in places on the Morris Canal in spite of all that sophisticated technology?

So in my opinion, the first of the original infrastructure we see coming back on-line in the post-cataclysmic “New World” were the canals.

In the “Old World,” the power supply for the canals would have been the same free-energy generated by the Earth’s worldwide grid system, and in the “New World,” they had to use mule-power to be able to utilize the original canal system because that was all they had available for power.

Back to the Lehigh Gorge State Park.

What remains of the original Lehigh Valley Railroad operations run today as the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway.

The excursion through the Lehigh Gorge begins in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, formerly known as Mauch Chunk, at the southern end of the state park.

Mauch Chunk was nicknamed “The Switzerland of America” for its steep hillsides, narrow streets, and terraced gardens.

The Asa Packer Mansion here was said to have been completed in 1861, which would have been the first year of the American Civil War.

We are told that Asa Packer was, among other things, a coal and railroad magnate, philanthropist…

…and founder of Lehigh University in nearby Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, which was founded in 1865, the last year of the American Civil War.

At the time of his death, the value of Asa Packer’s estate was $54.5-million, and he was considered to be the richest man in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at that time.

And Asa Packer was a Freemason too.

Renamed Jim Thorpe in 1954 for the Native American sports’ legend who was buried here, Mauch Chunk was founded as a company town in 1818 by Josiah White and his partners who were also founders of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company.

The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company was a mining and transportation company that was headquartered in Mauch Chunk.

It operated from 1818 until it was dissolved in 1964 and was known for having an early and influential role in the American Industrial Revolution.

The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company was considered to be the first vertically-integrated company in the United States.

Vertical integration is where the supply chain of a company is owned by the company.

Other examples of the adoption of the business practice of “vertical integration” off the top of my head was by Adolphus Busch as head of Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association.

Busch adopted vertical integration as a business practice, in which he bought all the components of his business, from bottling factories to ice-manufacturing plants to buying the rights from Rudolf Diesel to manufacture all diesel engines in America.

This illustration was of the Bevo Bottling Facility in St. Louis.

Adolphus Busch died in 1913, with a net worth $60 million at the time of his death.

Henry Ford also utilized the practice of “vertical integration” in the Ford Motor Company.

The introduction and refinement of the assembly line facilitated the mass production of new cars, which in turn made the purchase of a new car affordable for most people.

As we go through all the information that will be presented in this post, we will see why this was yet another replacement technology for the original transportation system, which was powered by free energy.

Henry Ford was also the 13th-wealthiest American of all-time according to CNN Business, with an adjusted wealth of $67.2-billion.

Henry Ford was also an acknowledged 33rd-degree Freemason.

Back to the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company and Mauch Chunk.

It had its beginnings as the Lehigh Coal Mine Company in 1792, after, we are told, a hunter named Philip Ginter discovered anthracite coal on Pisgah Mountain near Summit Hill, near the border between Luzern and Carbon Counties.

The Lehigh Coal Mine Company was incorporated in 1793 and acquired 10,000- acres, or 4,000-hectares, in and around the Panther Creek Valley and Pisgah Mountain, in order to bring anthracite coal from the large deposits on Pisgah Mountain to Philadelphia via mule-trains and coal arks, or one-time single use boats, on the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers.

We are told that while the original Lehigh Coal Mine Company was able to sell all the coal it could to the available market, it lost a lot of coal to the rough waters of the unimproved Lehigh River, so they sold the original company to Josiah White and his partners in 1818.

In a nutshell, this is what we are told.

In the same year, in 1818, the new owners of the Lehigh Coal Mine Company, began the construction of the Lehigh Canal, and that it became usable in 1820.

The Lehigh Canal enabled the transport of anthracite coal, a primary energy source at the time, to the primary markets in the northeastern United States, and, we are told, inspired the development and connection of other regional canals.

The new owners of the Lehigh Coal Mine Company were said to have been behind of the construction of the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad between 1839 and 1841…

…the Ashley Planes, an historic freight-cable railroad between Ashley and Mountain Top said to have been built between 1837 and 1838 to transport millions of tons of anthracite coal over the Wilkes-Barre Mountain…

…. and brought in blast furnace technology to the Lehigh Valley, a type of metallurgical furnace used for smelting to produce industrial metals.

Smelting is defined as a process by which metal is obtained, either as a single element or compound.

In 1822, the company became the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, after which time we are told they built the Mauch Chunk and Summit Hill Railroad.

The Mauch Chunk and Summit Hill Railroad, also known as the Mauch Chunk Switchback Railway, was said to have been built in 1827 and operated until 1932.

It was said to be the second permanent railway constructed in the United States, and used to transport coal down Summit Hill to the Lehigh Canal.

Mauch Chunk/Jim Thorpe was also a key location on the Central Railroad of New Jersey in the shipping of anthracite coal.

The Central Railroad of New Jersey was said to have built the Mauch Chunk Station in 1888 in the Queen Anne Victorian Architectural-style.

Today it is owned and operated by the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railroad.

This is what we are told about the Central Railroad of New Jersey.

The origins of the Central Railroad of New Jersey began in 1831 with the incorporation of the Elizabeth and Somerville Railroad, and which was operational by 1842.

In 1847, the Somerville and Easton Railroad was incorporated, purchased the Elizabeth and Somerville, and the name was changed to the Central Railroad Company of New Jersey.

By 1852, the line reached Phillipsburg, New Jersey, on the Delaware River and was extended across Newark Bay to Jersey City in 1864 (one-year before the end of the American Civil War in 1865).

From Jersey City, the railroad kept extending out to major cities like Newark, Flemington, Perth Amboy, Chester and Wharton.

We are told that the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company built the CNJ’s lines in Pennsylvania, which was used primarily for the shipment of anthracite coal.

The Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal in Jersey City was said to have been built in 1889 to replace an earlier one, and is located next to the Big Basin of the Morris Canal on the Hudson Waterfront in today’s Liberty State Park, as it is in close proximity to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty in Upper New York Bay.

It was operational as a terminal until April 30th of 1967.

An estimated 10.5 million immigrants processed through here at one time in America’s history when Ellis Island was operational as an immigrant processing station between 1892 and 1954.

The architectural style of the Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal building is called Richardsonian Romanesque, after architect Henry Hobson Richardson, who was said to have first used elements of this style in the Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane in Buffalo, New York, which he is said to have designed in 1870, and Frederick Law Olmsted was the landscape architect, and the Kirkbride Plan was implemented here.

The Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane was closed for that purpose in the 1970s.

In 1854, Dr. Thomas S. Kirkbride first published what was considered the source book in the 19th-century for Psychiatric Directives entitled “On the Construction, Organization, and General Arrangements of Hospitals for the Insane, ” with some remarks on insanity and its treatment.

We are told that throughout the 19th-century, numerous insane asylums were designed and constructed according to the Kirkbride Plan across the U. S. and while numerous Kirkbride structures still exist, many have been demolished, partially-demolished, or repurposed.

Today the former Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane is known as the Richardson Olmsted Complex, and was repurposed as a hotel which opened in 2023…

…and is considered one of the most haunted places in Buffalo, if not western New York.

Richardsonian Romanesque is described as a free revival style, incorporating 11th and 12th century southern French, Spanish, Italian Romanesque characteristics.

Henry Hobson Richardson had a relatively short career,and didn’t even complete his architecture school training in Paris because he lost family backing because of the American Civil War, yet somehow by the time he died at a relatively young age of 47 in our historical narrative, he left behind a legacy of mind-blowingly ornate architecture!

One more thing about the Central Railroad of New Jersey here.

All of the new railroad lines that were popping up betwixt and between these large population centers and the Jersey Shore were, like Atlantic City, were going right through the desolate, swampy and forbidding Pine Barrens.

Today there are abandoned trains and railroad lines found throughout the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad main line passed through the southern end of the Mount Pocono Borough, which provided access to the borough from New York City via the terminal at Hoboken, New Jersey.

One of the New York area’s major transportation hubs, the terminal at Hoboken was said to have been constructed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad in 1907, and combined railroad, ferry, subway, streetcar and pedestrian services.

We are told that numerous electric streetcar lines originated and ended at the station until the completion of “Bustitution” in August of 1949, at which time they were replaced by buses.

This included the Hoboken Inclined Railway…

…which consisted of several lines including the Palisade Line that travelled from Edgewater to Palisades Amusement Park, which operated from 1898 to 1971…

…and the Eldorado Elevator, which met a streetcar line that travelled along a trestle to a cut in the Palisades which ran parallel to the Eldorado, an amusement park that opened in 1891 and closed as an amusement park in 1894, except for the hotel casino, which was described as “Moorish Inspired.”

The Eldorado’s main building was used to host boxing matches and Vaudeville performances until it burned down in a massive fire in 1898.

There is still a Hoboken Terminal in use today as an intermodal transportation hub.

The New York Central Railroad was said to have begun operating in 1853 with the consolidation of earlier independent companies running between Albany and Buffalo.

This graphic depicts the New York Central rail system as of 1918.

Staten Island-born Cornelius Vanderbilt got his start in regional steamboat lines and ocean-going steamships, and from there got into the railroad business.

He bought control of the Hudson River Railroad in 1864; the New York Central Railroad in 1867; the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad in 1869; and the Canada Southern Railway in 1876.

He consolidated his two key lines into the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1870, becoming one of the first giant corporations in the history of the United States

According to CNN Business, Cornelius Vanderbilt was the second-richest American in history, with an adjusted wealth of $205-billion.

I was also able to find a reference saying that the Vanderbilts were known Freemasons.

I have taken a very close look at the region of Pennsylvania around the Moshannon State Forest in Philipsburg Borough and its official history, which among other things, was important to the settlement and industrialization of America, and also the wealthy and influential men behind it all.

We are told Philipsburg Borough was founded in 1797 by one Henry Phillips, who purchased 350,000 acres on the western side of the Allegheny Mountains for $173,000, and then proceeded to auction the land off on the streets of Philadelphia for two-cents per acre.

The region developed around the coal-mining and lumber industries.

The Beech Creek Railroad between the South Jersey Shore and Mahaffey Borough, Pennsylvania, and part of the Susquehanna and South Western Railroad, was used for coal mining services in the region starting in 1884.

This railroad ran near State College, home of Penn State University, and not far from Altoona, Pennsylvania.

Mahaffey Borough, first incorporated in 1841, was located on U. S. Route 219, at the junction of the New York Central Railroad and the Hudson River Railroad.

The arrows point to where railroad tracks ran along s-shaped river-bends. on this section of Route 219 going through Mahaffey Borough.

This railroad project in Pennsylvania was said to have been backed and financed by William H. Vanderbilt, the oldest son of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and who was President of the New York Central Railroad.

William H. Vanderbilt had developed a plan to facilitate railroad access to enter the “Clearfield Coalfield,” a large, juicy coal-mining area in Clearfield County, which would have been otherwise exclusively accessed by the Pennsylvania Railroad.

It was said to have been constructed starting at the end of 1882 to high-standards, including extensive curvature, bridges, and a tunnel, and became operational in November of 1884.

Eventually, this railroad line provided passenger service and used as such until 1990.

In 1994, the right-of-way was acquired by the Headwaters Charitable Trust for the “Snowshoe Rail-to-Trail Project” and the rail went away.

Along with the coal-mining going on in Pennsylvania, there were extensive logging activities.

For example, the Moshannon State Forest near Phillipsburg was formed as a direct result of the depletion of the forests of Pennsylvania that happened in the mid-to-late 19th-century, when lumber and iron companies clear-cut the forests.

Then we are told that sparks from passing steam-locomotives caused wildfires from the remnants of the forest-lands, preventing the growth of new forests.

The land that became Moshannon State Forest was purchased by the State in 1898.

The old-growth forest was gone by 1921, with a second-growth forest replacing it since then.

Interesting to note that a tornado in 1985 tore through the forest and destroyed an estimated 88,000 trees.

There was much logging going on from this region, so the “Susquehanna Boom” was said to have been built in the 1850s across the West Susquehanna River at Williamsport, a system of cribs and chained logs designed to catch and hold floating timber until it could be processed, and logging railroads built to transport the lumber, to the tune of 45-cars per day until logging ended here when all the trees were gone.

The lumbermen left a barren landscape that was devastated by fires, flooding and erosion formany years, until the CCC came in the 1930s and started replanting trees after the State of Pennsylvania bought the deforested land from the Central Pennsylvania Lumber Company in 1930.

The Civilian Conservation Corps CCC operated from 1933 to 1942 in the U.S. for unemployed, unmarried men to do manual labor related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state, and local governments.

Originally for young men ages 18–25, it was eventually expanded to ages 17–28. 

In the nine-years of its operation, the CCC employed 3,000,000 young men, providing them with food, shelter and clothing, and a wage of $30/month, $25 of which had to be sent home to their families.

There is no doubt in my mind that the CCC, and the other alphabet programs of FDR’s New Deal during the Great Depression, like the WPA and TVA, were being used to cover-up the ancient advanced civilization.

In the nearby city of State College, the location of the University of Pennsylvania, Andrew Carnegie had begun mining iron ore in Scotia in 1881 for his steel mills in Pittsburgh, and by 1887, we are told that a new era of iron-making in the Nittany Valley began, with the opening of the Nittany and Bellefonte Furnaces along Buffalo Run near its junction with Spring Creek, and three railroads that were said to have been constructed to haul the iron ore to them – the Bellefonte Central (BFC), Central Railroad (CRR) and Nittany Valley Railroad (NV).

By 1911 both of these furnaces had been shut-down.

By 1950, all the railroads that had once served the area, either for the iron-related industry or passenger service, including the Pennsylvania Railroad lines, circled in blue, were no longer in service.

The only historic rail here that became operational again was a portion of the Bellefonte Central after the Bellefonte Historical Railroad was organized as an excursion line in 1985, and occasionally offers runs as a tourist attraction.

Altoona in Pennsylvania is only 43-miles, or 70-kilometers southwest of State College.

Altoona was said to have been established by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1849.

The “Horseshoe Curve” in Altoona is a three-track railroad curve that is described as one of the world’s most incredible engineering feats, and was said to be accomplished by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1854.

It was said to have replaced the original Allegheny Portage Railroad, which was said to be the first railroad constructed through the Allegheny Mountains in 1834, and connected to the Pennsylvania Canal, all of which was said to have been built as part of the transportation system by the “Main Line of Public Works” that was mentioned at the beginning of this post after it was passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1826.

Considered a technological marvel in its day and critical to opening the way for commerce and settlement past the Appalachian Mountains, the original Allegheny Portage Railroad consisted of a series of five inclines on either side of the ridge-line to Cresson Summit alongside what is called the Little Conemaugh River to where it meets the Conemaugh River at Johnstown.

Interesting things to note along the historic route of the Allegheny Portage Railroad are as follows:

After leaving the main canal location of Hollidaysburg and going up towards Cresson Summit, we first come to the lopsided-looking “Skew Arch Bridge,” called the “only purposefully built bridge on the Portage” and crossed over the railway.

It was said to have been built in the 1830s as part of the early road system.

Today, the “Skew Arch Bridge” is preserved in the middle of “Old U. S. Route 22” and the new “U. S. Route 22.”

U. S. Route 22 is an East-West Numbered Highway from 1926 that runs from Cincinnati in Ohio to Newark in New Jersey, and passes through West Virginia and Pennsylvania on the way.

The next landmark on the Allegheny Portage Railroad’s journey through the Allegheny Mountains is the summit at Cresson, a borough (which in Pennsylvania is a municipal entity like a town or small city) on top of the Eastern Continental Divide. 

US Route 22 is one of the highways that accesses Cresson.

Back in the industrial heyday of the late 19th-century and early 20th-century, there were lumber, coal and coke-yard industries located here.

Wealthy Pittsburgh businessmen like Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick and Charles Schwab, all connected to each other through the steel industry, had summer residences here, like Carnegie’s Braemar Cottage in Cresson.

Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish immigrant to America, who came to Pittsburgh in 1848 with his parents at the age of 12, got his start as a telegrapher, and who by the 1860s, had investments in such things as railroads, bridges and oil derricks, and ultimately worked his way into being a major player in Pittsburgh’s steel industry.

I couldn’t find a picture of Andrew Carnegie as a freemason, but I could find a reference to him being a “famous freemason” on a masonic website.

His first steel mill was operational by 1874, the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, named after the President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, with his partners, one of whom was Henry Clay Frick, the owner of a coke manufacturing company, a product used in making steel.

They subsequently acquired other steel mills, and in 1892, the Carnegie Steel Company was formed, of which Henry Clay Frick became chairman. and in 1897, Charles M. Schwab, who had gotten his start as an engineer at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, became President of the Carnegie Steel Company in 1897.

In 1901, Charles M. Schwab helped negotiate the sale of Carnegie Steel with a merger involving it with Elbert Gary’s Federal Steel Company, and William Henry Moore’s National Steel Company to a group of New York City Financiers led by J. P. Morgan.

After the sale of Carnegie Steel, Andrew Carnegie surpassed John D. Rockefeller as the richest American at the time, and Charles M. Schwab became the first President of the newly minted U. S. Steel Company.

Andrew Carnegie was ranked as the 6th-richest American of all-time by CNN Business, with an adjusted wealth of $101-billion.

After the former Allegheny Portage Railroad left the summit at Cresson, on its downward descent in elevation into Johnstown, along the Little Conemaugh River, we come to the South Fork of the Little Conemaugh River and what was the former location of the South Fork Dam.

The famous Johnstown Flood on May 31st of 1889, the worst flood in the United States in the 19th-century, was caused by the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam, and was the second major disaster the American Red Cross responded to, after the Michigan Thumb Fire, which started on September 5th of 1881, with hurricane-force winds and hot and dry conditions this was less than four months after the establishment of the American Red Cross in May of 1881.

John D. Rockefeller was amongst several that donated to create a national headquarters for the American Red Cross near the White House in Washington, DC, said to have been built between 1915 and 1917.

More on John D. Rockefeller shortly.

The South Fork Dam was said to have been an earthwork built between 1838 and 1853 as part of a canal system as a reservoir for a canal basin in Johnstown by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

But then, after spending 15-years building the dam, it was abandoned by the Commonwealth, and sold to the Pennsylvania Railroad, who turned around and sold it to private interests.

In 1881, speculators had bought the abandoned reservoir and built a clubhouse called the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club and cottages, turning it into an exclusive retreat for 61 steel and coal financiers from Pittsburgh, including Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, Andrew Mellon, Philander Knox, John Leishman, and Daniel Johnson Morrell.

The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club was a Pennsylvania Corporation and owned the South Fork Dam.

Henry Clay Frick was a founding member of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, and was actually said to have been largely responsible for the alterations to the South Fork Dam that led to its failure.

Interesting to note that I did find this reference on the website of the Pleasant Valley Masonic Center in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, that Henry Clay Frick was a freemason in its King Solomon’s Lodge #346 from 1872 to 1877 , at which time he resigned as an active mason, but from what this entry says, his masonic lodge continued to enjoy the benefits of his generosity long afterwards, as well as that of his daughter.

What we are told is that the South Fork Dam failed after days of unusually heavy rain, and 14.3-million-tons of water from the reservoir of Lake Conemaugh devastated the South Fork Valley, including Johnstown 12-miles, or 19-kilometers, downstream from the dam, killing an estimated 2,209 people and causing $17-million in damages in 1889, which would be $490-million in 2020.

Though there were years of claims and litigation, the elite and wealthy members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club were never found liable for damages.

In 1904, the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club corporation was disbanded and assets sold at a public auction by the sheriff, and there were permanent exhibits in many places, like Atlantic City, depicting the horrors of the Johnstown Flood experience for public consumption, billed as a “Thrilling Account of the awful floods and their appalling ruin.”

The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club building and the nine-remaining of sixteen club member cottages still stand today, and are under the auspices of the National Park Service as part of the Johnstown Flood National Memorial.

So now we come to Johnstown, which is located 57-miles, or 92-kilometers, east of Pittsburgh.

It is at the confluence of the Conemaugh and the Stonycreek Rivers.

The is a map of the 1889 Johnstown Flood direction from the National Park Service map.

“Mass of debris” is marked at the Stone Bridge location.

The Stone Bridge is a 7-arch railroad bridge that was said to have been constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad between 1887 and 1888.

The Stone Bridge itself survived the flood, but it trapped all kinds of debris, including miles of barbed wire, that had been swept away by the raging floodwaters.

The debris at the bridge caught on fire and burned for three days, killing many people that were trapped in the debris.

If the failure of the South Fork Dam, and the subsequent catastrophic Johnstown Flood was deliberately caused by prestigious members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, which evidence in the narrative suggests was the case, then apparently these men had had no care or concern for the death, destruction and suffering for which they were never held accountable that they caused downriver.

From 1834 to 1854, Johnstown was a key transfer point on the Pennsylvania Main Line Canal.

At the head of the canal’s western branch, canal boats were transported over the mountains by the Allegheny Portage Railroad to continue the trip by water to Pittsburgh at the “Forks of the Ohio” and on to the Ohio River Valley.

Both Johnstown on the one side of the Allegheny Portage Railroad and the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona on the other side, might have operational remnants of the original incline railway system, though that’s not what we are told about them.

The Johnstown Inclined Plane was said to have been designed by Hungarian-American engineer Samuel Diescher, and completed in 1891 to serve as an escape route from floods in the valley at the confluence of the Conemaugh and Stonycreek Rivers, and to connect Johnstown with the Borough of Westmont on Yoder Hill.

Billed as the “World’s steepest vehicular inclined plane,” it’s slope has a grade of 71.9%, and it takes 90 seconds for it to travel in-between the two stations.

The Inclined Plane Railway back at Horseshoe Curve near Altoona was said to have been built in the 1990s to take tourists up to the park above to get a scenic view of the incredible engineering feat by the Pennsylvania Railroad circa 1854 of the Horseshoe Curve and its three-tracks that eliminated the need for the Allegheny Portage Railroad’s 10-incline planes.

Incline railways work like an obliquely-angled elevator, in which cables attached to a pulley-system raise- and-lower the cars along the grade.

Two cars are paired at opposite-ends and act as each other’s counterweight. As such, there is not a need for traction between the wheels and rails, and thereby allowing them to scale steep slopes, unlike traditional rail-cars.

Thing is, there used to be way more of them than there are now, and inclined-railways were a worldwide thing.

Now they are mostly either tourist attractions, or kept in-service as an important part of a communities’ transportation infrastructure from low-ground to high-ground.

Back in Johnstown, come to find out that the main highway connecting Johnstown to the Pennsylvania Turnpike is US Route 219, which makes a lot of appearances here, as does US-19, and more on both to come in this post.

The North-South U. S. Route 19 runs from its northern terminus at U. S Route 20 at Lake Erie in Erie, Pennsylvania to its southern terminus at an interchange with U. S. 41 in Memphis, Florida, just south of St. Petersburg.

The petroleum industry in the United States began in earnest in 1859 when Edwin Drake found oil on a piece of leased-land near Titusville, Pennsylvania, in what is now called Oil Creek State Park.

For this reason, Titusville is called the Birthplace of the Oil Industry, and for a number of years this part of Pennsylvania was the leading oil-producing region in the world.

Today, not surprisingly, the Oil Creek State Park Trail runs on the bed of the first railroad line to reach Titusville, the Oil Creek Railroad.

Samuel Kier had established America’s first oil refinery in Pittsburgh in 1854 for making lamp oil, just five-years before oil was “found” in Titusville.

So it certainly appears like the petroleum industry was developed in the 1850s in order to provide a replacement energy technology for the free energy technology of the original civilization.

Roughly a decade after the birth of the oil Industry at Titusville in 1870, John D. Rockefeller, along with Henry Flagler, an American Industrialist and major developer in the state of Florida, founded the Standard Oil Company, an American oil producing, transporting, refining, and marketing company.

Oil was used in the form of kerosene throughout the country as a light source and heat source until the introduction of electricity, and as a fuel source for the automobile, with the first gas-powered automobile having been patented by Karl Benz in 1886.

John D. Rockefeller, who was born in the United States in 1839, was the progenitor of the wealthy Rockefeller family.

He was considered to be the wealthiest American of all time, as seen in this ranking by CNN Business, with an adjusted wealth of $253-billion.

Rockefeller’s wealth soared as kerosene and gasoline grew in importance.

At his peak, he controlled 90% of all oil.

As quickly as possible, a way was found to replace what remained of the free-energy system with their own coal- and oil-based system, and in the process make money hand over fist from the total control of the new system.

Interesting to note that West Hickory is the short distance ofjust 14-miles or 22-kilometers, south of Titusville, where the tallest recorded skeleton in North America was found at 18-feet, or 5.5-meters.

The previously-mentioned US Highway Route 19 goes through Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh is the largest city in Appalachia and the Ohio Valley.

It developed as the vital link between theAtlantic Coast and the Midwest, with examples like the Allegheny Portage Railroad connecting the Pennsylvania Main Canal to Pittsburgh and the Ohio River and points west of the Allegheny Mountains.

Samuel Diescher, who was credited with the design of the Johnstown Incline was also credited with the design of one of Pittsburgh’s two remaining inclines of the 17 that were originally on Mt. Washington – the Duquesne Incline, which opened in 1877.

It was closed in need of repairs in 1962, but reopened the next year after local residents raised funds to restore it, and it has been completely refurbished since then and is one of Pittsburgh’s most popular tourist attractions.

The Monongahela Incline on Mount Washington was said to have been designed by Prussian-born engineer John Endres of Cincinnati, Ohio, and started operating in 1870.

It is the oldest continuously operating funicular in the United States.

Interesting to note that 1870, the same year the Monongahela Incline became operational in Pittsburgh, was also the same year John D. Rockefeller and Henry Flagler, founded the Standard Oil Company.

Pittsburgh played a dominant role in the development of the U. S. Steel Industry.

Many leading industrialists of the 19th-century were based in Pittsburgh, and resided in the East Liberty neighborhood in Pittsburgh’s East End, at one time the richest suburb in America, with names including Mellon, Carnegie, Heinz, and Westinghouse living there.

We are told that East Liberty started developing as a commercial area in 1842, when Thomas Mellon, prominent businessman and patriarch of the Mellon family in Pittsburgh, married Sarah Jane Negley, daughter of one of the earliest land-owners in the area, and made East Liberty their home..

We are told that Thomas Mellon made his fortune selling or rented land inherited by his wife, and used the proceeds to finance early industries in Pittsburgh.

Once again in 1870, he and his sons Andrew and Richard established the “T. Mellon & Sons Bank,” and it became the Mellon National Bank In 1902.

It became a force in the mass production revolution in the United States, particularly in the Midwest.

A National Bank is a private bank operating as a commercial bank within the Federal Government’s Regulatory Structure, and under the supervision of the “Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,” rather than a state banking agency.

At one time in our history, National Banks had the authority to print money.

At its height, Mellon Financial Services was one of the world’s largest money management firms. 

It merged with the Bank of New York in 2007 to become BNY Mellon.

Richard Mellon, with an adjusted wealth of $103-billion, is listed as the 5th wealthiest American of all-time by CNN Business, and a founder of Gulf Oil and Alcoa Aluminum, as well as a number of other big corporations, along with his brother…

…Andrew Mellon, who is listed as the 15th-wealthiest American of all-time by CNN Business, with an adjusted wealth of $63.2-billion.

It is important to note that Andrew Mellon was an acknowledged Freemason, and also the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury from March 9th of 1921 to February 12th of 1932, presiding over the Boom years of the 1920s as well as the Wall Street Crash of October 1929, which led directly to the Great Depression.

Andrew Mellon was also a close friend of Henry Clay Frick, and a member of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, along with Andrew Carnegie, on the property where the dam failed that caused the Johnstown Flood, as previously discussed.

Along with Andrew Mellon, as we saw earlier in the section on Johnstown, Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick were initiated into Freemasonry, with Henry Clay Frick active for only five-years, but supported Freemasonry his entire life.

It’s important to note that with the philanthropic activities spoken of these extremely wealthy men, which are made to sound extremely benevolent and meant to benefit Humanity, it seems like their intent was highly questionable as to their actual motives.

We have seen or referenced all four of these men who receive the top billing as “Robber Barons,” and more on Morgan to come.

Among many other things, both the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations have been highly involved in the American Educational System.

Even as early as 1914, the National Education Association expressed alarm at the activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations, and their efforts to control the policies of State educational institutions, and everything related to the educational system.

Now I’m going to go back to US-219 that we saw in Johnstown and take it on down to where it ends at Bluefield, Virginia, right across the state border from Bluefield, West Virginia, where it meets up with US-19.

The land beneath the two Bluefields contains the richest deposit of bituminous coal in the world, known as the “Pocahontas Coalfield,” or the “Flat-Top Pocahontas Coalfield,” named after the Flat Top Mountain on US-19 in West Virginia, and Pocahontas, Virginia, where the first coal-seam here was discovered.

The Pocahontas Coalfield started to be mined in 1882.

Pocahontas in Virginia was named after the famous daughter of Chief Powhatan in connection with the 17th-century Jamestown Colony, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas.

This is the most famous depiction of Pocahontas from her time on the left, but this how we have been taught to see Pocahontas and Powhatan on the right.

We are told that Bluefield in West Virginia, with its great location with respect to the developing Pocahontas Coalfield, was selected as the location of a major Division point on the Norfolk and Western Railway in the late 19th-century, and that the railroad greatly stimulated the town’s growth, so much so that in its hey-day, Bluefield was considered a “Little New York.”

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway was formed in 1869 from several smaller Virginia Railroads under the guidance of Collis P. Huntington also around the same time that the Standard Oil Company was founded, in order to connect the coal reserves of West Virginia with the new coal piers that were built in Hampton Roads and Newport News, Virginia, and first opened in 1873, forging a rail link to places like Chicago in the Midwest.

The city of Huntington in West Virginia was named for him.

Huntington was said to be one of the first American cities to have electric streetcars, with service believed to have started around the end of 1888, and ran until the 1920s, during which time the Ohio Valley Electric Railway had organized a gas-powered bus service, which by November 1937 had completely replaced all of Huntington’s former electric streetcar lines.

Collis P. Huntington was one of the Big Four of western railroading, along with Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins and Charles Crocker.

We are told that after the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway opened up the New River Gorge region in 1873, coal was carried out of the New River Gorge to the ports in Virginia and to cities in the Midwest.

As a result, by 1905, thirteen cities sprang up between Fayette and Thurmond, which was 15-miles, or 24-kilometers, upstream, and provided the West Virginia coal that contributed greatly to the industrialization of the United States until the 1950s.

After the coal seams were exhausted and mines closed, these company towns were for the most part completely abandoned, with the possible exception of Thurmond which had a very small population of 5 in 2010.

It is interesting to note that at one time in its history, Thurmond was a prosperous railroad town that was the largest, revenue-generating stop on the C & O Railroad, where passenger and coal trains rolled through here throughout the day.

Today, a visitor center for the National Park Service operates here in the old railroad depot.

CSX Transportation, formerly the C & O Railroad, has freight transportation operations in and through historic Thurmond, and the Amtrak Cardinal passenger route goes through here, the second-least-used Amtrak station in the nation.

As a matter of fact, the New River Gorge is one of the places that I know of that still has a railroad operating right along beside the S-shaped New River.

The Amtrak Cardinal still runs through the New River Gorge 3 days/week – on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

So like we saw back at the Lehigh Gorge in Pennsylvania with its railroad running alongside the river; the waterfalls; and the coal-mining in the region, we find the same things here at the New River Gorge in West Virginia.

Besides the railroad line that runs along the New River through the New River Gorge in West Virginia, there are things found in the gorge like historic coal mines, waterfalls, and hydro projects.

In 1888, Collis P. Huntington lost control of the railroad to J. P. Morgan, an American financier and investment banker who dominated corporate finance on Wall Street during the Gilded Age between 1877 and 1900, and William K. Vanderbilt, who managed the Vanderbilt family’s railroad investments.

William K. Vanderbilt was was the grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt.

The process continued on for the C & O Railroad to consolidate and merge railroads, and, for example, to gain access to productive coal fields throughout the region, through the 1920s.

Next I am going to take a look at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, which is to the southeast of the New River Gorge and to the northeast of the Pocahontas Coalfield region.

White Sulphur Springs was said to have been settled in 1750, and developed as a health spa in the 1770s, as the story goes after a woman was healed of rheumatism after bathing in the springs, and calls itself “America’s Resort since 1778.”

The springs are on the grounds of the Greenbrier Hotel and resort, which was said to have been built by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Company in 1913.

Even today, the same Amtrak Cardinal Line that runs through the New River Gorge has a station at White Sulphur Springs.

The Greenbrier Resort was at one time a Presidential getaway, with President Eisenhower the last President in office to have stayed there, with 27 presidents having stayed at the hotel before him.

The Presidents’ Cottage is a museum today.

A top-secret, super-sized underground bunker was said to have been constructed there in the 1950s during the Eisenhower Administration to serve as a relocation point for the U. S. Congress in the event of a nuclear war, but when the secret came out in 1992 in a newspaper article, it was decommissioned.

It had features like:

–A 25-ton blast door that opened with only 50-lbs of pressure

–It’s own power plant with purification equipment, and the capacity for 75,000-gallons of water storage, and 42,000-gallons of diesel fuel

–Every kind of medical care one would ever need

–Sleeping, meeting, and eating facilities for over 1,000 people.

It was kept stocked with supplies for thirty-years but never used as an emergency location.

In 1995, the government ended the lease agreement with the Greenbrier, and it was opened to the public for tours, which it offers to this day.

Today’s Amtrak Cardinal Line runs between New York and Chicago, by way of Washington, DC; through White Sulphur Springs, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis, on its meandering route, and was once part of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

Burke’s Garden in Virginia is just to the south of the Bluefield area, is accessed from US-19, and the next place I want to bring to your attention.

Burke’s Garden has a population of about 300 people, in a place considered to have the most fertile soil in Virginia, but no post office; no cell phone or cable service; cool-to-cold weather; and one paved road to Tazewell, the nearest town about 15-miles, or 23-kilometers away.

Burke’s Garden was known as “Vanderbilt’s First Choice” for the Grand Biltmore Estate.

We are told that the land-owners there wouldn’t sell to George Vanderbilt II, so he went to Asheville in North Carolina instead.

More on Asheville shortly.

There are a number of historic railroads in the vicinity of Burke’s Garden, like the  Norfolk & Western Railroad’s Clinch Valley Line between the coalfields of Bluefield running through Tazewell County beside US-19 to the high-quality coalfields of the Clinch River Valley south of Richlands.

The last place I want mention on US-19 is Asheville in North Carolina.

Asheville is at the confluence of the French Broad and Swannanoa Rivers.

George Vanderbilt II’s Biltmore Estate is divided by the French Broad River, and its confluence with the Swannanoa River is on the Biltmore Estate.

This whole region was part of the traditional lands of the Cherokee people.

They were said to have ceded their land here around Asheville 1819.

The Cherokee were one of the five civilized tribes to be forcibly removed from their land after the Indian Removal Act of 1830 was passed by Congress, and enforced by Lewis Cass, Andrew Jackson’s Secretary of War, and the Cherokee were marched west to Indian Territory in one of several Trails of Tears.

So Asheville on US-19 ended up being the location chosen by George Vanderbilt II for the Biltmore Estate instead of his “first choice” Burkes Garden, also on US-19.

The Biltmore Estate is on 8,000-acres, or 3,237-hectares of land.

This is what we are told about the Biltmore.

It was said to have been a Chateauesque-style mansion, meaning in the revivalist Renaissance architectural-style of French chateaux of the Loire Valley, built for George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1885 and 1895.

It is the largest privately-owned residence in the United States, and is considered one of the most prominent of the Gilded Age mansions.

The Gilded Age is the name given to the period of time in American history between 1877 and 1900, a time of rapid industrialization and rapid economic expansion.

This would have roughly corresponded in our historical narrative to the Reconstruction Era after the American Civil War, which we are told ended in 1865, and the Progressive Era, which is what we are told was a period of widespread political activism and reform, that started in 1896.

It was also a time when the contrast of the ostentatiousness of the wealthy versus the abject poverty of the working class became more visible.

We are told that the famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted was employed by George Washington Vanderbilt II to design the landscape for the Biltmore Estate.

It was said to be Frederick Law Olmsted’s last project, and he was memorialized in a plaque there.

George Washington Vanderbilt II was William Kissam Vanderbilt’s brother, who was mentioned earlier in this post as having gained control of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, along with financier J. P. Morgan, from Collis Huntington in 1888.

What we are told in our historical narrative is that George W. Vanderbilt II was supposed to sail on the RMS Titanic with his wife but they changed plans at the last minute.

J. P. Morgan has long been suspected of having been behind what has come down to us as the sinking of the Titanic.

This is what we are told on the Federal Reserve History website.

A secret meeting took place on Jekyll Island off the coast of the State of Georgia to lay the foundations of the Federal Reserve between November 20th and November 30th of 1910.

The purpose of the meeting was so secret that what the six men talked about was a closely guarded secret for many years, and they did not admit to it until the 1930s.

They were laying the foundation for what would become the Federal Reserve System.

Again, this information is from the Federal Reserve History website.

J. P. Morgan was a member of the exclusive Jekyll Island Club, was likely the one who arranged for the group to use the club’s facilities.

George’s brother, William K. Vanderbilt was also member of what Munsey’s Magazine described in 1904 as the “richest, most exclusive, and the most inaccessible” club in the world.

Arriving on a private train car, the group of men who attended the 10-day secret meeting on Jekyll Island in November of 1910 adopted the cover story of a “duck hunt” to explain their activities and hide the true purpose of their meeting, and addressed each other by their first names only – hence they adopted the name of the “First Name Club.”

This was the train station in Brunswick that serviced Jekyll Island on the Southern and Atlantic Coast Railroad.

The Oglethorpe Hotel pictured here was said to have opened in January of 1888, after having been built on top of the previous Oglethorpe House which was said to have burned down during the Civil War.

It remained in operation until 1958, at which time it was torn down and replaced by a Holiday Inn.

The Holiday Inn was eventually torn down too, leaving an empty lot in downtown Brunswick called the “Oglethorpe Block.”

Then, on April 15th of 1912, we are told the Titanic sank. with all the bankers opposed to the creation of the Federal Reserve on board, including John Jacob Astor IV, one of the richest people in the world at the time.

The following year, on December 23rd, 1913, the Federal Reserve Act Passed Congress, signed into law by Woodrow Wilson.  It created and established the Federal Reserve System, and created the authority to issue Federal Reserve Notes (commonly known as the US dollar) as legal tender.

John Jacob Astor IV was the great grandson of the previously-mentioned John Jacob Astor, who made a fortune in real estate development, the fur trade, and opium smuggling.

John Jacob Astor was considered to be the world’s first multi-millionaire, and the third-richest American of all time according to CNN Business, with an adjusted wealth of $138-billion.

J. P. Morgan himself didn’t make the CNN Business List of the 20 wealthiest Americans of all time, but he dominated corporate finance on Wall Street throughout the “Gilded Age,” and was a major driving force behind the wave of industrial consolidation in the United States in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries, like the previously mentioned U. S. Steel in 1901.

J. P. Morgan’s father, Junius Spencer Morgan, was the founder of the company that would become J. S. Morgan & Company in 1864, that was the successor company to George Peabody & Company, of which he became the Junior Partner in October of 1854.

In 1854, Morgan was put in charge of the firm’s iron portfolio, which included the marketing of railroad bonds in London and New York.

By the time J. S. Morgan died in 1890, the Morgan banks were the dominant forces in government and railroad finance, and his son John Pierpont Morgan had taken the helm of the company, becoming known as. J. P. Morgan & Company in 1895, now known as JP Morgan Chase & Company.

George Peabody’s bank became the premier American banking house in London after he took up residence from Baltimore to London permanently in 1837, and went from being a wholesale dry-goods and cotton merchant, to a merchant-banker offering securities in American railroad and canal enterprises to British and European investors.

He started a banking business trading on his own account a year after he moved to London, and by 1851, he established the banking firm of “George Peabody & Company” to meet the increasing demand for securities issued by American railroads, and his company specialized in financing governments and large companies.

According to “The Secret Founding of America” book by Nicholas Hagger…

…George Peabody was the Freemasonic banker from whom money was transferred to the “southern insurrectionists,” and he hired the father of J. P. Morgan to handle the funds when they arrived in the United States.

Banker George Peabody established the Peabody Institute in Baltimore in 1857 with a bequest of at least $800,000, and it is the oldest conservatory in the United States.

By the time it was completed and opened in 1866, one year after the official end of American Civil War, it was dedicated by George Peabody himself,and included a music academy, library and art gallery.

George Peabody was also called the “Father of Modern Philanthropy.”

That entrance at the east wing of the George Peabody Library sure looks proportionally like its made for much bigger people than we are today!

So, exactly how do you go about hiding giants and their advanced civilization?

I think the American Civil War was one of many ways to do this, and that it was not what we are told it was about.

The revered and seemingly prolific Frederick Law Olmsted started out his career as a journalist.

Among other things, during the pre-Civil War time period, Olmsted was commissioned by the New York Daily Times to start on an extensive research journey in the American South and Texas between 1852 and 1857.

He published three books from this time into one book, called “Journeys and Explorations in the Cotton Kingdom,” in 1861 during the first six months of the American Civil War at the suggestion of his English publisher.

All of these books by Frederick Law Olmsted raise red flags for me, as I have come to believe from my research that publications like these are indicative of some kind of setting the stage in seeding the new historical narrative into our consciousness by those responsible for the hijack of the original positive civilization that built all of Earth’s infrastructure.

Frederick Law Olmsted was also the first executive secretary of the United States Sanitary Commission as well as an organizer of the Union League.

First, the United States Sanitary Commission.

What we are told about the United States Sanitary Commission is that it organized “Sanitary Fairs” during the American Civil War as a fundraiser for the many needs of Union Soldiers, including health.

“Sanitary Fairs” had everything, including majestic “temporary” buildings said to have been built for the fairs, to be torn down after, and while not as elaborate as the big expositions such as in Chicago, they were still something in and of themselves.

Frederick Law Olmsted was on the standing committee for the United States Sanitary Commission that was formed in New York, with its main members throughout the Civil War also consisting of: Henry Whitney Bellows; George Templeton Strong; and surgeons Dr. William H. Van Buren, Dr. Cornelius R. Agnew, and Dr. Wolcott Gibbs.

Did the U. S. Sanitary Commission and its volunteers really have the wherewithal to both construct the buildings for and pull off these extraordinarily lavish and festive undertakings against the backdrop of national war and suffering?

Or was it a private front comprised of the very same people who organized and were prominent members of the private membership clubs of the day, like the Union League and the Century Association.

We are told the Union League was a private social club for wealthy men that opened in New York City in 1863 for pro-Union men could come together “to cultivate a profound national devotion” and “strengthen a love and respect for the Union.”

It became the most exclusive mens’ club in Manhattan, and perhaps in the nation.

This location for the Union League Club was said to have been built on the northeast corner of 5th Avenue and 39th Street between 1879 and 1881.

Along with Frederick Law Olmsted, organizers of the Union League Club were Henry Whitney Bellows, George Templeton Strong, and Wolcott Gibbs, same names as the United States Sanitary Commission.

Henry Whitney Bellows was also involved in the organizing of the Century Association in New York City, founded in 1847 and incorporated in 1857.

The Century Association was a private social, arts and dining club, and named after the first 100 people proposed as members.

The Century Association Building at 42 E. 15th Street was in-use by the association starting in 1857, and which served as one of the headquarters of the United States Sanitary Commission.

Members of the Century Association have included artists and writers like: poet and journalist William Cullen Bryant; landscape painter Frederick Edwin Church; landscape painter Winslow Homer; and best-known for stained-glass-work, Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Architect members have included: landscape-architects Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted; Beaux-Arts architects Carrere and Hastings, as well as York and Sawyer; and architects McKim, Meade and White, who were said to have defined the ideals of the American Renaissance in end-of-the-century New York.

Other members were said to have included: Eight U. S. Presidents; ten U. S. Supreme Court Justices; forty-three Members of the Presidential Cabinet; twenty-nine Nobel Prize Laureates; members of the Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Roosevelt, and Astor families; as well as financier J. P. Morgan and morse code inventor Samuel P. Morse.

Ever hear the George Carlin quote “It’s one big club, and you ain’t in it?” and wonder where that idea might have come from?

Seems like all of these private clubs we are seeing in this post were private and exclusive for a reason, and that was to secretly plan their activities and next moves that no one is supposed to know about!

The so-called elites have continued doing the same thing to this day in their secretive meetings to plan their agendas for what they want the future to look like for Humanity and the World, and what they want doesn’t look good for us!

The United States Sanitary Commission and the Sanitary Fairs and the exclusive private clubs associated with the very same people leads to the larger question, of what was really going on during the American Civil War, historically described as a civil war between northern states, or “Union,” and the southern states, or “Confederacy,” over the status of slavery and its expansion into newly acquired land after the Mexican-American War.

We are told there were three theaters of war during years of American Civil War, between 1861 and 1865: Eastern, Western, and Trans-Mississippi.

I have often thought that theater, defined as a collaborative form of performing art that uses live performers, usually actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, like a stage, is a thought-provoking word choice for an area or place in which important military events occur or are progressing.

I have come to view the American Civil War as Freemasonic Theater, which I think applies to all the wars and armed conflicts of our modern era.

Orphan trains started in 1854, under the auspices of Frederick Law Olmsted’s good friend, Charles Loring Brace, and the Children’s Aid Society, which Brace established in 1853.

A new experimental program of his called “placing-out” became known to us as “Orphan Trains,” and for the next 75-years, over 200,000 children were sent across the continent, to uncertain destinations and uncertain futures with strangers.

A movement going in this direction was widely supported by wealthy New York families, like Charlotte Augusta Gibbes, the wife of John Jacob Astor III, grandson of John Jacob Astor, and who was the wealthiest Astor family member of his generation.

Right around the same time as the beginning of the Orphan Train Movement, and the alleged completion of the Horseshoe Curve by the Pennsylvania Railroad near Altoona, both taking place in 1854, we are told that the federal government operated a land-grant system between 1855 and 1871, where new railway companies in what we are told was the uninhabited west were given millions of acres they could sell or pledge to bondholders.

The establishment of a land-grant system at this time is a good place to insert once again the story of the Ames Brothers of Easton, Massachusetts, co-owners of the Ames Shovel Shop, nationally known for providing the shovels for the Union Pacific Railroad, which we are told opened the West.

It was said to have been the world’s largest supplier of shovels in the 19th-century.

Why were shovels so important to the opening of the West and the expansion of infrastructure?

What if…the tracks were already there and just needed to be dug out?

Not only that, one brother, Oliver Ames, Jr, was the President of the Union Pacific Railroad from when it met the Central Pacific Railroad in Utah for the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad in North America.

The other brother, Oakes Ames, was a member of the U. S. Congress House of Representatives from Massachusetts 2nd District from 1863-1873.

He was credited by many as being the most important influence in building the Union Pacific portion of the first Transcontinental Railroad.

Oakes Ames was also noteworthy for his involvement in the Credit-Mobilier Scandal of 1867, regarding the improper sale of stock of the railroad’s construction company.

He was formally censured by Congress in 1873 for this involvement, and he died in the same year.

Ten-years later, he was posthumously exonerated by the Massachusetts State Legislature on May 10th, 1883.

The cities of Ames, Iowa, and Ames, Nebraska, are both said to be named for Oakes Ames, and were stops on the Union Pacific Railroad.

This is the Ames Monument near Laramie in Wyoming.

This large pyramid was said to have been also designed by Henry Hobson Richardson, and built between 1880 and 1882.

It was dedicated to the Ames brothers for their role in financing the Union Pacific Railroad.

The new history of “The Robber Barons and the Reset” seems to have gotten its start in Pennsylvania, where there were a lot of firsts happening in our historical narrative.

The nickname of Pennsylvania is “The Keystone State,” and in its anecdotal history, was said to have come from its location in the keystone of the arch, depicted here, in the center of the original thirteen colonies.

But another reason comes to mind in the definition of “keystone,” in its figurative sense as opposed to its literal meaning as the stone in the middle of the arch which holds up the others.”

The idea of “that which holds together other parts…locking together the whole structure.”

Pennsylvania certainly seems to have played an instrumental role in doing just that in our historical narrative.

Additionally, the story of the Masonic Keystone is well-worth looking at. which has the letters “HTWSSTKS” engraved on it, said to mean “Hiram The Widows Son Sent To King Solomon,” referring to Hiram Abiff.

Hiram Abiff is the main character in an allegory presented to all 3^rd-degree Freemasonry candidates as the main architect of Solomon’s Temple. 

Hiram Abiff was murdered inside the temple with a mason’s tool by three fellow-craft masons from the workforce, or “ruffians,” after he wouldn’t give them his Master Mason secrets, which were lost with his death. 

I found an article on the masonicworld.com website awhile back when I was looking for information on Hiram Abiff.

In it, the writer talks about “Operative Masonry” and the beginning of “Speculative Masonry” in 1717, with the founding of the Premier Grand Lodge of England.”

The writer indicates in the article that while some believed that operative masons were also in position of the tragic story of Hiram Abiff, there was no mention of Hiram Abiff in the existing records of Operative Masonry from before that time; that there was no third, or Master Mason Degree as a rite until the Premier Grand Lodge was established in 1717; and that it was likely that the legend of Hiram Abiff was introduced at the time of Freemasonry became a speculative organization.

To me this provides supporting evidence that the ritual of the recital of the death of Hiram Abiff is actually an allegory for what happened to the Moors themselves and their advanced civilization by the unworthy craftsman that has been enshrined in one of their main initiation rites.

It is my understanding that only those initiated into the highest degree of western Freemasonry know directly about the Moors.

And it is no secret within Modern Freemasonry that it is “speculative,” meaning based on conjecture rather than knowledge, as opposed to “operative,” meaning those who actually worked with stone.

The New World’s Controllers stole the identity and legacy of the operative masons, and took us from the “Moorish Divine Movement of the World,” from Antiquity, with the eye on top of the pyramid signifying our pineal gland and our connection to the Creator, to it symbolizing “Big Brother,” and the control of the 13 Bloodline families.

There’s a lot more I could add to our lost history, but this gives you some idea of what has taken place here, and not for our benefit.

In this newest series, I am going to be bringing forward research I have done in the past, as well as new research, on the Great Lakes region of North America.

In the first part of the series, I looked at cities and places all around the shore of Lake Superior, starting and ending in the Thunder Bay District of Ontario, with particular attention to lighthouses; railroad and streetcar history; waterfalls, wetlands and dunes; interstates and highways; major corporate players; mines and mining; labor relations; and many other things.

In the second-part of this series, I am going to be taking a close look at Lake Michigan, where I expect to see more of exactly the same kinds of things seen in the trip around Lake Superior.

Lake Michigan is the only one of the five Great Lakes that lies entirely within the United States.

Those states are Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.

By area, it is the world’s largest lake in one country.

My working hypothesis is that the circuit board of the Earth’s original energy grid system was deliberately blown out by one or more forms of directed frequency or energy of some kind into different places on the Earth’s grid, causing the surface of the Earth to undulate and buckle.

Firstly, what I am seeing from tracking leylines all over the Earth, looking from place-to-place at cities in alignment over long-distances, are the consistent presence of swamps, marshes, bogs, deserts, dunes, and places where it appears land masses sheared-off and submerged under the bodies of water we see today.

Secondly, I believe the beings behind the cataclysm were shovel-ready to dig enough of the original infrastructure out of the ruined Earth so they could be used and civilization restarted, which I think started in earnest in the mid-to-late 1700s and early 1800s.

There’s extensive underground infrastructure where people could have survived until the surface of the Earth was habitable.

Then they only used the pre-existing infrastructure until they found replacement fuel sources that could be monetized and controlled by them for what had originally been a free-energy power grid and transportation system worldwide, and when what remained of the original infrastructure was no longer useful to them, or inconvenient to their agenda, they had it destroyed, discontinued, or abandoned, typically in a very short time after it was said to have been constructed.

While the new elite class lived in the lap of luxury, and helped themselves to the best of everything, they had little care for anyone or anything else.

The same story repeats all over the country with the Robber Barons coming in and setting up shop and taking control of everything, and the Great Lakes region is no exception to this pattern, and if anything, actually exemplifies it.

Like everything else we have been told to explain what is in existence in our world, I don’t believe lighthouses were built to guide ships by whom they were said to have built them when they were said to have been built.

What I am seeing is that they ended up next to the edge of water when the land around them sank, and were repurposed into navigational aids in the New World to guide ships through the now broken landmasses in the surrounding waters.

So two of the many points of comparison between Lake Michigan and Lake Superior in this post will include lighthouses, and the bathymetry of the lakes, which is the measurement of the depth of water in the lakes.

First, a comparison of the number of lighthouses between the two.

There are approximately 88 lighthouses along the shore of Lake Michigan, which has more lighthouses than any of the Great Lakes.

There are approximately 78 lighthouses around Lake Superior, with 42 of them being in Michigan.

Next, bathymetry, or the measurement of the depth of water in the lakes

First, the bathymetry of the waters of Lake Michigan.

The bathymetry of Lake Michigan shows shallows around the edges ranging from 0 to around 100-meters, or 0- to around 328-feet, with an uneven lake-floor towards the middle ranging in depth from 100-meters, to its deepest point at 282-meters, or 925-feet, which is marked by the “x” circled in red.

The average depth of Lake Michigan is 85-meters, or 279-feet.

Here’s a breakdown of the five regions of this lake’s bathymetry: Islands and Straits; Green Bay; the Chippewa Basin; the Mid-Lake Plateau; and the South Chippewa Basin.

The Islands and Straits region of Lake Michigan includes the Mackinac Channel; the Strait of Mackinac between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron; Sturgeon Bay; St. Martin Bay; Grand Traverse Bay; and several islands of varying sizes including Beaver Island, the largest island in Lake Michigan

Most of the northern section of this region in the Mackinac Channel and Strait, Sturgeon Bay and St. Martin Bay, is quite shallow, ranging in depth from 0- to 50-meters, or 0- to -164-feet, with deeper depths of up to 200-meters, or 656-feet, seen closer to shore mixed in the with shallows, on the northeastern section which includes Grand Traverse Bay and the Manitou Passage.

Likewise, the Green Bay region on the Wisconsin-side of Lake Michigan, which includes some other bays, channels and islands, as well as the Door Peninsula separating it from the main part of the lake, are also quite shallow, ranging in depth from 0- to around -50-meters, or 0- to -164-feet.

The Chippewa Basin roughly in the north-middle of Lake Michigan, is the deepest, with depths primarily ranging from 100-meters, or 328-feet, to its deepest point at 282-meters, or 925-feet, as previously-mentioned.

The Mid-Lake Plateau region is located in the center of Lake Michigan between the Chippewa Basin and South Chippewa Basin.

The Mid-Lake Plateau is showing as 50- to 100-meters, or 164- to 328-feet, in-depth.

Directly to the west of the Mid-Lake Plateau is the Milwaukee Basin, and directly to the east the Muskegon Basin, with both of these basins somewhere around 150-meters, or 492-feet, in-depth at its deepest.

Lastly, the South Chippewa Basin is also approximately 150-meters, or 492-feet, in-depth, at its deepest.

The bathymetry of Lake Superior also shows its shallows around the edges, which range from 0 to around 100-meters, or 0- to around 328-feet, with an uneven lake-floor ranging in depth from 100-meters, to its deepest point at 406-meters, or 1,333-feet.

Lake Superior’s average depth is 147-meters, or 483-feet

The Great Lakes Region is infamous for its shipwrecks, with an estimated somewhere between 6,000 to 10,000 ships and somewhere around 30,000 lives lost.

The reasons given for the high number of shipwrecks are severe weather, heavy cargo and navigational challenges.

It is estimated that there are around 780 shipwrecks in Lake Michigan, with about 250 identified, and it has been nicknamed “Graveyard of the Great Lakes.”

It is estimated that there are between 350 and 550 shipwrecks in Lake Superior, many of which are still undiscovered.

I find it noteworthy that the Great Lakes region is very similar to other places that I have looked into that are known for the same kind of severe weather, shipwrecks, and have the same kind bathymetry that I shared previously ranging unevenly in-depth from shallow to quite deep.

Places like Cape Cod in Massachusetts, which is known as a “Graveyard of the Atlantic” due to the large number of shipwrecks that have occurred here because of its dangerous shallows.

Here is the map showing fourteen lighthouses on Cape Cod alone, as well as other lighthouses of this part of New England, on the left, as well as the historic Old Colony Railroad that traversed the length of the narrow Cape Cod.

Like Cape Cod in Massachusetts, the treacherous waters of the Outer Banks have also given it the nickname of “Graveyard of the Atlantic” because of the numerous shipwrecks that have occurred here because of its treacherous waters consisting of things like shallows, shifting sands, and strong currents.

The reason we are given for the extreme weather in our official narrative is climate change, which is linked to the United Nations 2016 Paris Climate Agreement, and to all of the goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

But I have come to believe the explanation for the extreme weather could very well be found in things like the presence of ruined and sunken land just underneath the surface of the water from the deliberate destruction of the energy grid, and possibly creating instability where weather is concerned, and/or perhaps generating their own weather systems in their respective regions.

Or perhaps the creation of extreme weather may have some external help.

Like the wreck of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald mentioned in the last post as the most famous shipwreck of Lake Superior, the sinking of the Lady Elgin was the most famous shipwreck on Lake Michigan.

The Lady Elgin, a side-wheel steamship, was said to have been built in Buffalo, New York, in 1851.

For almost a decade, the elegant steamship took passengers between Chicago and other cities on Lake Michigan and Lake Superior.

Apparently during the years she was in operation, the steamship was involved in a number of accidents, including, but not limited to, things like striking a rock in 1854 and being damaged by fire in 1857.

Then On September 6th of 1860, the Lady Elgin was rammed below the water-line by the wooden Schooner Augusta, and her sinking has been called the “one of the greatest marine horrors on record.”

The Lady Elgin was on its return trip to Milwaukee, sailing against gale force winds, when she was rammed by the Augusta.

The Lady Elgin’s captain ordered that cattle and cargo be thrown over-board to lighten the load in order to bring the hold above-water.

All of the efforts to try to keep the ship from sinking came to nothing, as within twenty-minutes, the ship broke apart and sank quickly.

The Lady Elgin passenger manifest was lost, so the exact number on-board was unknown.

Of those 300 people, most were from the Irish community of Milwaukee, including nearly all of Milwaukee’s Irish Union Guard.

The Irish Union Guard was an Irish militia based in Milwaukee’s Third Ward, and who were at odds with the Wisconsin governor’s position.

The members of the Irish Union Guard had chartered the Lady Elgin for a quick-trip to Chicago.

It was said that so many Irish-American political operatives died that day that it shifted the balance-of-political-power in Milwaukee from the Irish to the Germans.

On the November day the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank on Lake Superior in 1975, it and one other ship that didn’t sink, the SS Arthur M. Anderson, were heading to Detroit with a load of Taconite, a type iron ore, when they encountered a severe storm with hurricane-force winds and waves up to 35-feet, or 11-meters, high…

…when the SS Edmund Fitzgerald suddenly sank near Whitefish Bay in Lake Superior, and the entire ship’s crew perished.

Before I go into this journey looking at what’s found around Lake Michigan, I would like to mention an obscure historical figure named Lewis Cass, whom I learned about researching the State of Michigan in my series on who is represented in the National Statuary Hall at the U. S. Capitol in Washington, DC.

I learned a lot about obscured history and what the official historical narrative tells us about what has taken place here from the research I have done so far on who is represented there.  After having gone through approximately half of the states, I have found that regardless of fame or obscurity, the National Statuary Hall functions more-or-less as a “Who’s Who” for the New World Order and its Agenda..

The State of Michigan is represented by Lewis Cass, as well as Gerald Ford.

Lewis Cass, an American military officer, politician and statesman, was a U. S. Senator for Michigan and served in the cabinets of two Presidents, Andrew Jackson and James Buchanan.

Lewis Cass attended the Phillips-Exeter Academy, established in 1781 by Elizabeth and John Phillips, a wealthy merchant and banker of the time, and whose nephew, Samuel Phillips Jr, had established the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts in 1778, making it the oldest incorporated school in the United States.

These two schools have educated several generations of the Establishment and prominent American politicians.

The Cass family moved to Marietta, Ohio, in 1800.

Marietta was the first permanent U. S. settlement in the newly established Northwest Territory, which was created in 1787, and the nation’s first post-colonial organized incorporated territory.

We are told the Northwest Indian War took place in this region between 1786 and 1795 between the United States and the Northwestern Confederacy, consisting of the indigenous people of the Great Lakes area.

The Territory had been granted to the United States by Great Britain as part of the Treaty of Paris at the end of the Revolutionary War.

The area had previously been prohibited to new settlements, and was inhabited by numerous indigenous peoples, even though the British maintained a military presence in the region.

While the Northwestern Confederacy had some early victories, they were ultimately defeated, with the final battle being the “Battle of Fallen Timbers” in August of 1794 in Maumee, Ohio, which took place after General Anthony Wayne’s Army had destroyed every indigenous community on its way to the battle.

Outcomes were the 1794 Jay Treaty, named for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay, the main negotiator with Great Britain.

As a result, the British withdrew from the Northwest Territory, but it laid the groundwork for later conflicts, not only with Great Britain, but also angering France and bitterly dividing Americans into pro-Treaty Federalists and anti-Treaty Jeffersonian Republicans.

The 1795 Greenville Treaty that followed forced the displacement of the indigenous people from most of Ohio, in return for cash and promises of fair treatment, and the land was opened for white American settlement.

Lewis Cass was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 1806, and the following year, President Thomas Jefferson appointed him as the U. S. Marshal for Ohio, the oldest U. S. Federal Law Enforcement Agency having been established by the Judiciary Act of 1789 during President George Washington’s administration to assist federal courts in their law enforcement functions.

Cass joined the Freemasons as an Entered Apprentice, the first degree of Freemasonry, at a lodge in Marietta in 1803 , and by May of 1804, he achieved the Master Mason degree, the third-degree of Freemasonry.

Lewis Cass was a charter member of the Lodge of Amity No. 5 in Zanesville, admitted in June of 1805, and was one of the founders of the Grand Lodge of Ohio in January of 1808, serving as its Grand Master multiple years.

We are told that during the War of 1812, Lewis Cass rose through the officer ranks to become a Brigadier General in the U. S. Army in March of 1813.

He took part in the Battle of the Thames, also known as the Battle of Moraviantown near Chatham, Ontario, and today’s Moravian on the Thames First Nation reserve, a branch of the Lenape who were converted to Christianity by Moravian missionaries from Pennsylvania, one of the oldest Protestant denominations.

At the time of the battle, the community of this First Nation, known as the Christian Munsee, was burned to the ground and rebuilt at its current location.

The Battle of the Thames in Ontario was an American victory in the War of 1812 against Tecumseh’s Confederacy, a confederation of Native people’s from the Great Lakes region, and their British allies.

As a result of the battle, Tecumseh was killed, his confederacy fell apart, and the British lost control of southwestern Ontario.

Cass was appointed as the Governor of the Michigan Territory by President James Madison in October of 1813, a position in which he served until 1831.

During this time, he travelled frequently to negotiate treaties with the indigenous peoples in Michigan, in which they ceded substantial amounts of land.

Cass was one of two commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Fort Meigs, also called the Treaty of the Maumee Rapids, resulting the ceding of nearly all the remaining lands in northwestern Ohio, and parts of Indiana and Michigan, of the Wyandot, Seneca, Delaware, Shawnee, Potawatomi, Ottawa, and Chippewa, helping to open up Michigan to settlement by white Americans.

In return, land was allocated for reservations and financial compensation via annuities of various amounts for different lengths of time.

Other examples of the involvement of Lewis Cass with these land-acquiring treaties included, the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw with the chiefs and members of the Chippewa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi Tribes, in which they ceded 6-million acres of land, for which they were promised up to $1,000/year forever, and hunting and fishing rights on the land.

Cass was also involved with the 1821 Treaty of Chicago, in which he travelled to Chicago to try and get more land from tribal nations in Michigan.

As a result of this treaty, more Potawatomi, Chippewa and Ottawa tribes ceded land – this time nearly 5-million acres of the Lower Peninsula .

In return, they were promised about $10,000 in trade goods, $6,500 in coins, and a 20-year payment valued at about $150,000.

And where did all these treaties land them, like the Potawatomi?

A very long way from home!!!

Cass resigned as the Governor of Michigan in 1831 to become President Andrew Jackson’s Secretary of War, a position he would hold for the next 5-years.

As President Jackson’s Secretary of War, Cass was central in implementing the Indian Removal policy of the Jackson administration after Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830.

The Indian Removal Act was directed specifically at the Five Civilized Tribes of the Southeastern United States – the Cherokee, Creeks, Seminole, Chickasaw and Choctaw – though it also affected tribes in Ohio, Illinois and other areas east of the Mississippi River.

Most were forced to Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska.

Cass was elected by the Michigan State Legislature in 1845 to serve as its United States Senator, a position he held until 1848 when he resigned in order to pursue an unsuccessful run for President that year.

After his loss to Zachary Taylor in the 1848 election, Cass was returned to the
U. S. Senate by the Michigan State Legislature, serving from 1849 to 1857.

He ran and lost for President again in 1852, losing the Democratic nomination that year to Franklin Pierce, who became the 14th U. S. President.

A few years later, in March of 1857, President James Buchanan appointed an elderly Lewis Cass to serve as the Secretary of State in his administration around the same time he was retiring from the Senate.

During his term of service as Secretary of State, Cass delegated most of his responsibilities either to an Assistant Secretary of State or to the President, though he was involved in negotiating a final settlement to the 1850 Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, which limited U. S. and British control of Latin American Countries.

Cass died in June of 1866 in Detroit, and was buried in the Elmwood Cemetery in Detroit, Michigan’s oldest continuously operating non-denominational cemetery, having been dedicated in October of 1846.

Descendents of Lewis Cass included great-grandson Augustus Cass Canfield, long-time President and Chairman of the Harper & Brothers Publishing Company (later known as Harper & Row)…

…and grandson Lewis Cass Ledyard, a New York City lawyer, personal counsel to financier J. P. Morgan, and a President of the New York Bar Association.

I am going to start this journey around Lake Michigan by looking at Mackinaw City and the area surrounding it at the top of what is called the “Lower Peninsula of Michigan,” also known as the “Mitten,” and I am going to end it at St. Ignace, across the Straits of Mackinac from Mackinaw City on the Upper Peninsula.

For the purposes of this post, I am only going to be looking at the Lake Michigan-side of the State of Michigan here.

Lake Michigan is hydrologically-connected to Lake Huron thorugh the Straits of Mackinac.

The Straits of Mackinac are the short waterways between the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan, and are crossed by the Mackinac Bridge, which was said to have first opened in 1957.

The Mackinac Bridge carries Interstate 75 across the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the western hemisphere between Mackinaw City at its southern end, and St. Ignace at the northern end.

We are told the indigenous Ottawa people of this region, called the region around the straits “Michilimackinac.”

The Straits of Mackinac were an important fur-trading route and one of the four main fur-trading centers in the Great Lakes region established by the British North West Company, a fur-trading business based out of Montreal in Quebec from 1779 before it was forcibly merged with the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1821, along with Grand Portage, Fort Niagara, and Fort Detroit.

This is what we are told in our official historical narrative, Fort Michilimackinac was built by the French as a trading post in 1715 in the location of today’s Mackinaw City.

Then in 1761, the French relinquished it along with their territory in Canada to the British following their defeat in the French and Indian War.

This “reconstruction” of it is found at Colonial Michilimackinac Historic State Park near the Mackinac Bridge.

The Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse is also in the Colonial Michilimackinac Historic State Park.

It was said to have been constructed in 1892 and deactivated in 1957, the same year the Mackinac Bridge was said to have first opened.

Here it is a photo on the right of this lighthouse with a Milky Way alignment, as was seen in part one of this series at five of the lighthouses on the Apostle Islands of Wisconsin on Lake Superior, as well as for comparison, two of the Lighthouses on the Great Ocean Road near the Twelve Apostles on the southeastern coast of Australia.

This lighthouse is a museum today.

The historic photo of this lighthouse on the top left reminds me of the creepy, staged-looking photos I have encountered in the seven-years I have been doing this research, all taken within 15-years of each other, like the photo on the top right, whichwas labelled as an 1895 photo of convicts working on the railroad in East Siberia near Khabarovsk; the 1870 photo on the bottom left taken in Trenton, New Jersey; and on the right, a photo taken in front of the Machinery Hall for the 1888 Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and Central States in Cincinnati.

Some other lighthouses on this side of the Straits of Mackinac in the vicinity of the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse that I would like to mention here are:

The McGulpin Point Lighthouse, which is 3-miles, or 4.8-kilometers, west of the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse.

It was in operation as a lighthouse from 1869 to 1906.

Owned by Emmett County today, it was privately-owned and used as a residence at some point after it was deactivated in 1906, and then ownership passed to Emmett County in 2008.

The Waugoshance Lighhoust, said to have been built here in 1851, is described as a ruined lighthouse in a shoal area that is 15-miles, or 24-kilometers, due west of Mackinaw City.

We are told that due to erosion and deterioration, that lighthouse is critically-endangered, and likely to fall into the lake in the near future.

The Waugoshance Lighthouse is in the Wilderness State Park, called one of the most hazardous areas near the Straits of Mackinac.

The Wilderness State Park is described as a diverse forested, dune, and wetlands with swale complexes, with swale as a landform being defined as a sunken or marshy place.

The Wilderness State Park has also been designated as a “Dark Sky Preserve” since 2012, where light is restricted for astronomical observation and enjoyment, as seen here with a view of the Milky Way in the night sky.

Besides the ruined Waugoshance lighthouse, there are three other lighthouses near the western end of the Wilderness State Park – the Grays Reef Light Station; the White Shoal Light; and the Aux Galets Lighthouse.

The White Shoal Lighthouse is located 20-miles, or 32-kilometers, west of the Mackinac Bridge.

It is still an active lighthouse, and the tallest lighthouse on Lake Michigan.

The construction of the current lighthouse here was said to have started in 1908, and first lit in 1910.

Here is the White Shoal Lighthouse in a solar alignment.

The Grays Reef Light Station is 3.8-miles, or 6.1-kilometers, west of the Waugoshance Lighthouse, said to have been built starting in 1934 on top of submerged stone and a concrete pier, and first lit in 1936, which all would have been during the Great Depression.

It is also an active lighthouse.

And the Aux Galets Lighthouse, also known as the Skillagee Island Lighthouse, is on a gravelly, low-lying island near the mainland and Sturgeon Bay.

The current lighthouse here was said to have been built in 1888 to warn shipping away from the reefs and shoals of Waugoshance Point, along with the other three lighthouses, which pose an imminent hazard to navigation.

As I said earlier in this post, I don’t believe at all that lighthouses were built to guide ships by whom they were said to have built them when they were said to have been built.

What I am seeing is that they ended up next to the edge of water when the land around them sank, and were repurposed into navigational aids in the New World to guide ships through the now broken landmasses in the surrounding waters.

I have come to believe “lighthouses” were literally “houses for light” for the purpose of precisely distributing light energy generated by this gigantic integrated system that existed all over the Earth that was in perfect alignment with everything on Earth and in heaven.

What I am seeing is that these were places that were in perfect resonance within a perfectly-resonant system, and that when the energy grid system was directly attacked, it caused the entire system around it to go haywire, and the surrounding land sank, or turned into like swamps, bogs, barrens, or deserts and dunes, as we are already seeing here at the Straits of Mackinac in Lake Michigan.

I am not drawing these conclusions from a few examples, but from many that I have found in years of doing research, including a lot of work tracking cities and places in alignment all over the Earth.

So now I’m going to back to Fort Michilimackinac for a moment in the location of the present-day Mackinaw City.

We are told the British continued to use Fort Michilimackinac built by the French as a major trading post until they decided the wooden fort was too vulnerable to attack from the indigenous people of the region in the 1760s, with Pontiac’s War going on, and so the British built a limestone fort on a high bluff on Mackinac Island in 1781.

I will look into this more in-depth when I look into Mackinac Island in the Lake Huron part of this series.

We are told in our historical narrative that Pontiac’s War was launched by the indigenous people in 1763 who were not happy with British rule in the Great Lakes Region, and lasted until 1766, and named after Pontiac, the Ottawa leader who was the most prominent of the many indigenous leaders in the conflict with the British.

I find it very interesting to note that there was a book by Francis Parkman published in 1851 titled “The Conspiracy of Pontiac.”

This book is still in-print today, and is considered the definitive account of the war.

Besides “The Conspiracy of Pontiac,” Francis Parkman was best-known for “The Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie and Rocky Mountain Life,” and “France and England in North America.”

He was born into a prominent Boston family, and as a child was said to be in poor health.

He entered Harvard at the age of 16, and graduated in 1844.

In 1843, when he was 20, he went on a Grand Tour in Europe, making his way through Italy.

I find this very interesting because this is not the first time I have found one man’s historical account that forms the basis for our history of events at a given time.

One of many examples of this is that Francis Parkman’s story and activities are very similar to those of Frederick Law Olmsted, who later in his life became the most celebrated landscape architect of the mid-to-late 19th- and early 20th-centuries, and called the “Father of Landscape Architecture.”

Olmsted’s biography says he created the profession of landscape architecture by working in a dry goods store; taking a year-long voyage in the China trade; and by studying surveying, engineering, chemistry, and scientific farming.

Though I found references saying he did attend Yale College, we are also told he was about to enter Yale College in 1837, but weakened eyes from sumac poisoning prevented him the usual course of study. 

We are told he started out with a career in journalism, travelling to England in 1850 to visit public gardens there, including Birkenhead Park, a park said to have been designed by Joseph Paxton which opened in April of 1847 and said to be the first publicly funded civic park in the world.

Joseph Paxton, a greenhouse builder by training, was also given the historical credit for the designing of the Crystal Palace for the famous 1851 Exhibition in London, which was the same year Francis Parkman’s “The Conspiracy of Pontiac” was published as I just mentioned.

After his trip, Olmsted published “Walks and Talks of an American Farmer” in England in 1852, where he recorded the sights, sounds and mental impressions of rural England from his visit.

Frederick Law Olmsted apparently was also commissioned by the New York Daily Times to start on an extensive research journey in the American South and Texas between 1852 and 1857.

The dispatches he sent to the Times were collected into three books, and considered vivid, first-person accounts of the antebellum South: “A Journey in the Seaboard Slave States,” first published in 1856…

…”A Journey through Texas,” published in 1857…

…and “A Journey in the Back Country in the Winter of 1853 – 1854,” published in 1860.

All three of these books were published in one book, called “Journeys and Explorations in the Cotton Kingdom,” in 1861 during the first six months of the American Civil War at the suggestion of his English publisher.

One more thing is that he provided financial support for, and sometimes wrote for, “The Nation,” a progressive magazine that is the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States, having been founded on July 6th of 1865, three-months after the end of the American Civil War.

With regards to railroad lines to Mackinaw City, we are told that the Michigan Central Railroad came to Mackinaw City from Detroit in 1881, and the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad in 1882 connecting Mackinaw City to Traverse City; Grand Rapids; and Fort Wayne in Indiana.

These railroad lines facilitated passenger and freight transportation, which included railroad car ferries across the Straits of Mackinac.

The former rail-lines have been repurposed into Rail-trails, like the North West State Trail from Petoskey…

…the North Central State Trail from Gaylord…

…and the North Eastern State Trail from Alpena.

There were two historic roundhouses in Mackinaw City, one for each of the railroads serving the area.

They were both demolished after the rail-lines leading to Mackinaw City were scrapped sometime in the 1980s.

The location of the former Michigan Central Roundhouse is now a Burger King, and the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad is a parking lot west of the Mackinac Bridge; and the former railyards a shopping mall.

Like the lighthouses, I believe that all the rail infrastructure was part of the original energy grid, and I believe the energy grid was deliberately destroyed, and that it’s destruction created everything we see in the world today that we are told is natural, including, but not limited to, the Great Lakes

I think the Controllers’ removed the rail-lines that were original part of the energy grid when they were no longer needed for mining and/or their agenda, and they only kept what was needed for freight, with keeping some for public transportation where it was critical infrastructure and scaled passenger service way-back from what it once was.

They were instead turned into interstates, highways, roadways, and recreational rail-trails. used for harvesting our energy for the benefit of a few from what was the original free-energy grid system for the benefit of all.

Before I move on down the western coast of Michigan on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, I want to take a look at Beaver Island.

Beaver Island is the largest island in Lake Michigan.

The main access point for Beaver Island is Charlevois.

Charlevoix was named for the Jesuit explorer Pierre Francois Xavier de Charlevoix, who stayed the night on Fisherman’s Island during a harsh stomr sometime in the 1720s, which is located near his namesake city.

The Ottawa and Ojibwe peoples lived throughout northern Michigan prior to the arrival of the Jesuits and the European colonizers.

The Jesuit explorer Charlevois is known for the journal record he kept of his exploration of New France in present-day Canada and the United States first published in 1744 as the “History and General Description of New France.”

The city of Charlevois is located on isthmus, or narrow piece of land connecting two larger areas across water.

This is not the only time we will see a city located on an isthmus in this post.

We are told that fishermen first settled what was known became known as Charlevoix around 1852.

We are told among other new arrivals as time went on, the Homestead Act of 1862 brought Civil War veterans and speculators up this way, with 160-acre tracts of land land selling for $1.25/acre.

It is important to note that logging quickly became a thing, and lumber companies like the “Charlevoix Lumber Company” beginning in 1876, shipped out 40-million board feet of lumber before much of peninsula was stripped of its original forests.

There was actually a lot of activity of all kinds going on in and around Charlevois in its illustrious past, but today its population is less than 2,500 people as of the 2020 census.

Regular passenger train service to Charlevoix ended in September of 1962 when the Traverse City – Charlevois – Petoskey service was ended by the Chesapeake and Ohio (C & O) Railway.

Freight service ended between Charlevois and Williamsburg, Michigan, in 1982, when the C & O abandoned the track, and the tracks were removed in 1983.

The State of Michigan purchased the section of track between Charlevois and Petoskey, and it was run by the Michigan Northern Railway until a series of wash-outs in the 1990s, and this section of track was removed.

As we have already seen, sections of this rail-line serve as recreational rail-trails today and the old train depot is a museum of the Charlevois Historical Society.

Michigan Beach Park at Charlevoix is one of many beaches around this area, and is still very much a popular recreational spot in the present-day with its white sands and recreational facilities.

It is located right next to South Pierhead lighthouse at the end of what is called the “Pine River Channel.”

I have found things like piers and breakwaters, with lighthouses on the end, not only in the last part of this series on Lake Superior at Grand Marais in Minnesota…

…and Marquette in Michigan…

…but the same kind of configurations all over the world, like Dover in England in the English Channel…

…in Malta at the entrance to the Grand Harbor in the capital city of Valletta…

…and Sousse in northeastern Tunisia on the Gulf of Hammamet, to name a few of countless examples of harbor entrances with lighthouses.

We have always been told they were built as navigational aids for ships, but as I have already indicated, I think they were serving another purpose entirely in the energy grid system that we haven’t been told about.

Lake Michigan has many beaches, and is frequently referred to as the “Third Coast” of the U. S. after the Atlantic coast and the Pacific coast.

Called “singing sands,” the sand is often soft and white, or off-white, and squeaks when walked upon, believed to be caused by the high quartz content of the sand.

I am going to be looking at some of the sand dune systems as I go along the coast line of Lake Michigan in ths post.

The sand dunes located on the east shore of Lake Michigan are considered the largest freshwater dune system in the world.

Large dune formations can be seen in many state parks, national forests and national parks along the Michigan and Indiana shoreline.

Well, I thought I was out of Charlevoix, but something came up on my social media feed about castles in Michigan, and one of them was in Charlevoix, so I had to look into it.

What I found in Charlevoix was “Castle Farms.”

It was said to have been originally built in 1918 by the acting President of Sears, Roebuck, and Company, Chicago attorney Albert Loeb, as a dairy farm that was modelled after the stone barns and castles he had seen in Normandy, France.

At one time, it had 200-head of prize-winning Holstein-Friesien dairy cows and 13-pairs of Belgian draft horses.

Since then it has passed through different ownership but it has been serving as primarily as an event venue throughout the years.

So now back to Beaver Island.

There are several thing that stand out about this location.

The first is that we are told there are at least one stone circle found here.

It is called the “Beaver Island Sun Circle,” also known as the Beaver Island Stonehenge, complete with astronomical alignments.

The next is that Beaver Island was the location of a relatively-short-lived Mormon theocratic kingdom from 1848 until his assassination in 1856, where the Mormon leader James Strang appointed himself king and took over the island there with his followers, who were known as Strangite Mormons.

The last thing I want to mention is that Beaver Island has two lighthouses – the Beaver Island Harbor Lighthouse and the Beaver Head Lighthouse, along with several others on the western end of the Straits of Mackinac.

The Beaver Island Harbor Lighthouse is located in St. James, an unincorporated community apparently named for himself by the self-proclaimed King, James Strang.

We are told the original lighthouse here was constructed in 1856, and the one currently there in 1870, and is still an active lighthouse today.

Here it is seen with a solar alignment behind the top of the lighthouse.

The Beaver Head Lighthouse is located on a bluff on the southern end of Beaver Island.

We are told boats have to navigate very carefully between Gray’s Reef and Beaver Island.

We are told the Beaver Head lighthouse was operational between 1858 and 1962, and that in 1975, the Charlevoix Public Schools purchased the location for $1.

Since 1978, there has been an Environmental and Vocational Educational Center in the Keepers building and the lighthouse is open to the public in the summer months from 8 am to 9 pm.

Now the next places I am going to take a look at on the eastern coast of Lake Michigan are the city of Petoskey and Grand Traverse Bay on either side of Charlevoix.

First, the city of Petoskey, which is located on Little Traverse Bay.

What we are told about Petoskey is this.

This area was long-inhabited by the Ottawa people.

Then, in the 1836 Treaty of Washington, we are told representatives of the Ottawa and Chippewa Nations ceded an area of approximately 13, 837,207-acres, or 55,997-kilometers-squared in Michigan in the northwest portion of the Lower Peninsula and the eastern portion of the Upper Peninsula, or approximately 37% of the current land area of the State of Michigan, and that this treaty was concluded on March 28th of 1836 by the Indian Commissioner of the United States, Henry Schoolcraft, and representatives of the Ottawa and Chippewa Nations.

I first encountered the historical figure of Henry Schoolcraft when I was “Trekking the Serpent Ley” from the Bermuda Triangle to Lake Itasca in Minnesota back in August of 2023.

Lake Itasca is not far from Lake Superior and in the Great Lakes Region of North America.

The Itasca State Park was established in 1891, we are told, to preserve remnant stands of virgin pine and to protect the basin around the Mississippi’s source.

In 1832, Henry Schoolcraft, a geographer, geologist, and ethnologist, was part of an expedition that determined the source of the Mississippi River was Lake Itasca  

He also appears to have been a Freemason as well.

Then in 1847, Congress commissioned Schoolcraft to do a comprehensive reference work on the history, culture, and social mores of Indian tribes throughout North America, and which was published in six-volumes between 1851 and 1857.

So not only did Henry Schoolcraft find the source of the Mississippi River in our historical narrative, he himself was likely one of the sources of the new narrative about the indigenous people as well.

We are told Petoskey was named after the Ottawa chief Ignatius Petosegay, whose father was a French explorer and fur-trader, and whose mother was the daughter of an Ottawa chief, who purchased lands near the Bear River at some point after the Treaty of Washington was signed.

With the arrival of Jesuit missionaries to the area in the 19th-century, the man who became known as Ignatius Petosegay was befriended by the Jesuits, who renamed him after St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order.

The Bear River is described as a “small, clear tributary of the Little Traverse Bay.”

This photo of the right-angled waterfall and masonry banks of the Bear River going through the city of Petoskey…

…is very reminiscent of examples I have seen on the River Derwent in Derbyshire, England, like at the Cromford Mill near Matlock Bath, the home of the world’s first water-powered cotton spinning mill…

…and the Vantaa River flowing through Helsinki in Finland also has such sights as right-angled waterfalls.

What are known as Petoskey stones, the official Michigan state stone, can only be found on northern Michigan beaches and inland lakes.

Today beachcombing for Petoskey stones with their honeycomb-like pattern is one of the favorite summer activities in Michigan.

We are told that Petoskey stones are a petrified genus of colonial rugose coral that turned into limestone, and is found in limestone rock formations dating back to the Devonian period 350-million years ago, and can be found in most of the rock formations of the Traverse Group in Michigan.

The Traverse Group outcrops are in Emmet and Charlevoix Counties where we have been looking so far, and can be viewed by travelling the Michigan portion of US Highway 31 along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

We are told that the Traverse Group formed as a shallow carbonate shelf during the Devonian period when the most recent supercontinent, Pangaea, was beginning to take shape.

There are several points I would like to bring forward from what I am seeing here.

First, I don’t believe what the historical narrative tells us about geological processes over long periods of time being responsible for what we see in the world today.

Like I said earlier in this post, I believe all along the Earth’s coastlines there are submerged landmasses and ruined land from this recent cataclysmic event which destroyed the Earth’s original energy grid, along with creating land features like estuaries. wetlands, deserts and dunes.

This belief is at odds with the official explanation, which is that of a worldwide Great sea level rise as a result of melting glaciers from the last Ice Age and the expansion of seawater as it warms, and both are due to global warming.

The basis of the belief in Ice Ages in our modern scientific paradigms come from Sir Charles Lyell, who published “The Principles of Geology” in three volumes between 1830 and 1833.

In these books, Lyell presented the idea that the Earth was shaped by the same natural processes that are still operating today at similar intensities, and as such a proponent of “Uniformitarianism,” a gradualistic view of natural laws and processes occurring at the same rate now as they have always done.

As a result of Lyell’s work, the glacial theory gained acceptance between 1839 and 1846, and we are told during that time, scientists started to recognize the existence of ice ages, and do to this day.

Sir Charles Lyell’s books on “Uniformitarianism” and “Ice Ages” in geology became the only accepted model taught by Academia.

The issue is contrast to the view of Catastrophism, the belief that changes in the Earth’s crust have resulted primarily from sudden violent and unusual events.

The Academic world supports Uniformitarianism without question as the only explanation for what we see in today’s world.

So let’s take a look at several data points to consider in trying to unravel a different perspective from what is found in Michigan on what might have taken place because I really don’t believe it is what we have always been told.

First, we are told that Petoskey stones are leftover fragments of the many coral reefs that existed in warm-water seas from Charlevoix to Alpena some 300 million years ago, where we see “barrier reefs” and “pinnacle reefs” across the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

Barrier Reefs are said to occur in the shallowest of water, and are a continuous near shore feature.

Pinnacle Reefs are said to form in deeper water, as isolated “pinnacles” of coral.

A coral reef is defined as an underwater ecosystem built by reef-building corals, typically in shallow waters, though on smaller scales in other areas, like deeper waters.

Coral reefs are frequently found on things like sunken ships, like the tugboat John Evenson, which sank in 1884, and was found at a depth of 42-feet, or 13-meters, near Algoma, Wisconsin.

Wouldn’t it stand to reason that coral reefs would form on sunken buildings and other sunken infrastructure as well?

I also want to point out that limestone was a common building material in the ancient world, and used in constructions like the Pyramids of Giza…

…and the Western Wall, also known as the “Wailing Wall,” an ancient limestone wall in the old city of Jerusalem.

In other places in the early history of the United States, we are told that a rock ledge became the landing place for riverboats and wagon trains starting in 1833, on the southside of the Missouri River at what became Kansas City, Missouri.

And all of these strata of limestone underneath the surface were identified where this particular rock ledge was located.

Other historic pictures that I would like to include of Kansas City, Missouri, that are very interesting, and tell a completely different story than what our historical narrative tells us about this time period in our history include this one of when it was called “Gulley Town” in the 1860s and 1870s, where it looks like it was buried and needed to be dug out.

I also found these views of Wyandotte Street in Kansas City, Missouri, as it looked in 1868…

…in 1870…

…in 1871…

…and here are historic photos of some of the buildings on Wyandotte Street circa 1928.

We are going to see this same scenario again of digging-out infrastructure when we come to Gary in Indiana on the southern shore of Lake Michigan.

Next, Grand Traverse Bay is on the other side of Charlevoix from Petoskey, and a short-distance south of Beaver Island.

The Grand Traverse Bay is separated from Lake Michigan by the Leelanau Peninsula, also known as the “Little Finger” of the mitten-shaped Lower Peninsula.

The Grand Traverse Lighthouse is located at the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula, where the Manitou Passage separates Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay.

The current lighthouse was said to have been built in 1858, and is located today in Leelanau State Park.

The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is located on the western-side of the Leelanau Peninsula, and North and South Manitou Islands, and is also notable for its shipwrecks, so much so the bottomlands have been designated the “Manitou Passage Underwater Preserve.”

There is also a lighthouse on South Manitou Island, with the current one said to have been built in 1872, and decommissioned in 1958.

It is a museum these days.

The North Manitou Shoal Light is located southeast of North Manitou Island, and it was said to have been constructed in 1935 to mark a dangerous shoal, and it is still in operation today.

A shoal is defined as a place where a body of water is shallow, and where a ridge, bank or bar is close to the surface of the water, and poses a danger to navigation.

In the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore on the Leelanau Peninsula, there are such places to visit and hike as Pyramid Point, known for its stunning views of Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands…

…the Empire Bluff Trail…

…and the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, a 7.4-mile, or 11.9-kilometer, drive through forest and dune areas and great views of Lake Michigan.

It was said to have been built in the 1960s and finished in 1967 by a lumberman named Pierce Stocking who wanted to share the beauty of the area with others.

The Grand Traverse Bay is further divided into an “East Arm” and a “West Arm,” which are separated by what is called the “Old Mission Peninsula.”

The Old Mission Peninsula has the Mission Point Lighthouse at its northern tip, which lies just a few yards south of the 45th Parallel North, which is halfway between the North Pole and the Equator.

The Mission Point Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1870, and it was deactivated in 1933.

It is in Lighthouse Park, and accessible to the public.

Traverse City is located at the base of the Old Mission Peninsula, and is the largest city in northern Michigan.

Traverse City is nicknamed “The Cherry Capital of the World,” and the whole Grand Traverse Bay region is known for its cherry production and its wine-grape-growing and Michigan wine.

There are several things I would like to mention about this area.

First is that prior to European settlement, we are told the Ottawa people were prevalent here, though it was said to be part of the territory of the Council of Three Fires, an alliance of the Anishinaabe peoples of Ottawa, Ojibway, and Potawatomi.

Before the arrival of western Europeans, this land was inhabited collectively by the Anishinaabe, meaning something along the lines of “original people” in their Algonquin language.

When I searched for a map of where the Algonquin-speaking peoples lived in North America, and this is what comes up, with their lands covering a vast section of it.

While the Algonquin language has not died out completely in North America, it is already extinct in many places, and highly-endangered in general.

For one example of many, Pequot – Mohegan was an Algonquin-language spoken by the Mohegan, Pequot, and Niantic people of southern New England, and the Montaukett and Shinnecock of Long Island, and what we are told is that it did not have a writing system, and that the only significant writings came from European colonizers who interacted with speakers of the language.

The last living speaker of this language died sometime around 1900.

There is something interesting to note about the Algonquin language.

It is extremely hard to find this kind of information because of the hunter-gatherer theme going on with indigenous peoples of North America in the narrative, but I found an example in the written language script of the Algonquin Mikmaq people of Nova Scotia, and it is that of an apparent connection to the Egyptian language script.

We are told that what became Traverse City was first settled in June of 1847 by Captain Horace Boardman, who built a sawmill near the mouth of the Boardman River.

Traverse City was incorporated as a village in 1881, and as a city in 1895.

According to our historical narrative, the railroad arrived in Traverse City in December of 1872 with the Traverse City Railroad Company Spur from the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad Line from Walton Junction, and by 1890, there were at least three more railroad lines serving the Traverse City region.

Today the historic Traverse City railroad station is the Filling Station Microbrewery, with the Cherry Capital Airport nearby.

In 1881, the Northern Michigan Asylum, later known as the Traverse City State Hospital, was established here as a Kirkbride facility, and first opened in 1885 with 43 residents, and we are told that between 1885 and 1924 under its superintendent James Decker Munson, it expanded and became the city’s largest employer at one time.

It closed its doors as a State Hospital in 1989.

In 1854, Dr. Thomas S. Kirkbride first published what was considered the source book in the 19th-century for Psychiatric Directives entitled “On the Construction, Organization, and General Arrangements of Hospitals for the Insane, ” with some remarks on insanity and its treatment.

We are told that throughout the 19th-century, numerous psychiatric hospitals were designed and constructed according to the Kirkbride Plan across the U. S. and while numerous Kirkbride structures still exist, many have been demolished, partially-demolished, or repurposed.

So, today the former Northern Michigan Asylum Kirkbride facility is being redeveloped as a multi-use facility after years of sitting abandoned…

…though it also has a reputation of being haunted, which is more typical than not of these places.

Before I take leave of the Grand Traverse Bay region, I would like to mention that there was a stonehenge-type structure identified in the Grand Traverse Bay.

Dr. Mark Holley, Professor of Underwater Archeology at Northwestern Michigan University, discovered an arrangement of large granite stones resting on the lake bed about 40-feet, or 12-meters, below the surface of the water, in 2007.

The stones are believed to date back 9,000-years, which is 4,000-years older than the date given to England’s famous Stonehenge.

One more thing I would like to mention here is US Highway Route 31, which runs along the western portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan from Bertrand Township in Berrien County at the state line with Indiana to its terminus on I-75 south of Mackinaw City.

I will be looking primarily at this part of the state of Michigan along US-31 as I go down the eastern coast of Lake Michigan.

US Highway Route 31 is a major North-South Highway that runs from Spanish Fort in Alabama at the Junction of US-90 & US-98.

I find all the major long-distance highways or interstates noteworthy that I have come across so far in the Great Lakes region.

The first was  Minnesota State Highway 61, formerly known as the “North Shore Highway” and which is now known as the “North Shore Scenic Drive.”

Until 1991 Minnesota State Highway 61 was part of United States Highway 61 from 1926 to 1991.

The full-length of US-61 runs from its southern terminus in New Orleans, Louisiana, to its northern terminus at Wyoming, Minnesota.

It is considered the “Great River Road,” a collection of state and local roads that follow the course of the Mississippi River in ten states.

Then US Highway Route 2, which consists of two segments, and is the northernmost East-West highway in the United States.

The western segment begins at an interchange with Interstate-5 in Everett, Washington, and ends at Interstate-75 in St. Ignace, Michigan.

The eastern segment of US-2 begins at US-11 at Rouses Point, New York, and ends in Houlton, Maine, at Interstate-95.

The western segment of US-2 goes west from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and roughly parallels the historical Great Northern Railway.

Then there’s US Highway Route 41 between Miami, Florida, and the tip of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula at Copper Harbor…

…U. S. Highway 23, a major North – South U. S. Highway between Jacksonville, Florida, and Mackinaw City, Michigan at I-75…

 …and the northern terminus of Interstate 75 is Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan, which also goes all the way to Miami, Florida, at its southern terminus.

The next place I am to take a look at moving down the coast of the eastern shore of Lake Michigan is Manistee.

Like Charlevoix, the city of Manistee is located on an isthmus, in this case between Manistee Lake and Lake Michigan, with the Manistee River going through the city.

It is located on US-31.

We are told that a Jesuit mission was first established in Manistee in 1751, and that Jesuit missionaries came to the area in the early 19th-century, with a Jesuit Mission house located on the northwest shore of Manistee Lake in 1826.

According to available information, Manistee was one of fifteen Ottawa villages on Lake Michigan’s shore in 1830, and it is the location of the federally-recognized Little River Band of Ottawa, who historically lived in this region.

Federal recognition signifies the United States Government’s acknowledgment of a tribe’s status as a sovereign entity with a government-to-government relationship.

The first European settlement here happened in Manistee in April of 1841, when settlers John and Adam Stronach arrived with men and equipment and established a sawmill, and Manistee became a significant location for lumber mills, with large numbers of white pine logs being floated down the river to the port at Manistee.

I will be talking about the Great Fires of October 8th and 9th of 1871 in this series.

The Manistee Fire was one of the fires that constitute what is known as the “Great Michigan Fire” of October 8th of 1871, along with the Holland Fire and the Port Huron Fire.

I will be looking at the city of Holland in this post, and Port Huron in the next post on Lake Huron.

These fires took place on the exact same day as the Great Chicago Fire and Peshtigo Fire, and Urbana in Illinois burned on the following day, all of which I will be talking about here.

We are told the Manistee Fire destroyed much of the city of Manistee.

The city of Manistee wasn’t incorporated until 1882, 11-years after the Great Fire, and then this is the Manistee Fire Department, said to be the oldest continuously manned fire station in the world.

Interesting to note that this fire station was said to have been built in 1888, seventeen years after the Manistee fire of 1871.

Manistee Harbor still has two active lighthouses, one on its North Pier and one on its South Pier, which are also called “breakwaters.”

We are told that the first lighthouse was on the South Pier in 1870, but it burned in the Great Fire in 1871.

Then we are told two lighthouses were built here in 1875, but over the years they have been moved, and even torn down and rebuilt.

Here is a photo of the North Pier Lighthouse in Manistee in alignment with the setting sun.

There are two other places I would like to look at in the Manistee area before I move south from here on the coast to Ludington.

Those places are the Orchard Beach State Park and the Lake Bluff Bird Sanctuary.

Firstly, Orchard Beach State Park.

Today, it is a public recreation area situated on a bluff just a short-distance north of Manistee.

Apparently there was an apple orchard here that was planted by George Hart some time around 1887, and that by 1892, Hart had built a boardwalk and theater here to attract more tourists.

The same year of 1892, trolley service began with the Manistee, Filer, and Eastlake Railway Company and Orchard Beach became a popular beach destination, and that when trolley service was stopped here, the site was purchased by the Manistee Board of Commerce and deeded to the state to become a park in 1921.

Interestingly, in past research I encountered an historical orchard and trolley located together in Vancouver, Washington.

I definitely think there was a connection between the original energy grid and every kind of agriculture.

Then, we are told the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was here in the 1930s, and built several limestone structures, including a shelter building.

The 850-ton shelter building pictured here…

…was moved 1,200-feet, or 366-meters, in December of 2020 because the bluff it sat on top of was eroding and unstable.

As I mentioned in this last post about Lake Superior, this is a common finding with lighthouses as well– sitting next to sheared-off, unstable land, and often have to be moved in order to not fall over the side.

An example that comes to mind of this is the Gay Head Lighthouse on Martha’s Vineyard, a small island that is an elite enclave of the very wealthy just off the southern coast of Massachusetts’ Cape Cod.

In 2015, the Gay Head Lighthouse was moved because it was perilously close to the eroding cliff edge.

I consistently find the infrastructure of railroads, lighthouses, star forts, and all manner of the original infrastructure, all being in locations with the same characteristics all over the Earth.

Another example is the “Pacific Surfliner,” an active Amtrak passenger railroad line, that runs along the Pacific Coast of Southern California for 351-miles, or 565-kilometers, from San Diego to San Luis Obispo…

…that is also endangered by crumbling cliffs from coastal erosion, and we are told is under consideration for being moved in-land.

This exact same manifestation of cliffs or bluffs next to bodies of water is found worldwide, looking like land just violently broke off from the landmass.

Here are a few more of countless examples.

The sheer cliffs along the coastline of Hengam Island in the Persian Gulf’s Strait of Hormuz on the top left, compared for similarity of appearance with the sheer white cliffs of Dover on the coast of southern England on the top right, and the cliffs along the southern coast of Australia in Victoria State where the Great Ocean Road runs for a long distance next to a sheer cliff, and showing the location of the 12 Apostles, the name given to what are called “limestone stacks” in the water off Port Campbell.

When the word “sheer” is used to refer to a cliff, it means a high area of land with a very steep side.

One of the meanings of the word “shear” spelled with an “a” is to break off, or be cut off, sharply.

A synonym of the word for “sheer cliff” is “bluff.”

Another meaning of the word “bluff” is a deception, or an attempt to deceive.

Secondly before I leave the Manistee area, I want to look into the Lake Bluff Bird Sanctuary, Located on top of a 100-foot, or 30-meter, -high bluff.

The Michigan Audubon Society received the M. E. and Gertrude Gray home and property as a gift in 1988, which later became the Lake Bluff Bird Sanctuary.

In addition to its status as a bird sanctuary…

…it is notable for the trees preserved on its grounds, which include a Michigan Giant Sequoia…

…and a Michigan Sycamore Maple.

Now I am going to head on down the eastern coast of Lake Michigan to the Ludington area and see what’s there.

The City of Ludington is situated at the mouth of the Pere Marquette River, which quickly turns into the Pere Marquette Lake in Ludington.

We are told that the Jesuit explorer Father Jacques Marquette died near Ludington in 1675, and that in 1955, a memorial and 40-foot, or 12-meter, cross were built to mark the location.

The settlement here was originally named “Pere Marquette,” but was later renamed “Ludington” after the industrialist James Ludington, who established logging operations here.

By 1892, Ludington sawmills had produced 162-million board feet of lumber and 52-million wood shingles and Ludington became a major Great Lakes shipping port.

Ludington was incorporated as a city in 1873, and the county seat of Mason County was moved here.

We are told the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad was chartered in January of 1857 to construct an east-west railway line from Flint in Michigan to Ludington, formerly Pere Marquette, with the railroad completed to that location in 1874.

The Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad began cross-lake shipping operations in 1875 with the sidewheel steamer SS John Sherman to handle freight and then expanded to the larger Goodrich line of steamers.

Then in 1896, this railroad constructed the world’s first steel train ferry, the Pere Marquette, to transport rail cargo across Lake Michigan to Manitowoc in Wisconsin.

Today, Ludington is the home port of the SS Badger, a vehicle and passenger ferry with daily service in the summer months across Lake Michigan to Manitowoc in Wisconsin, a distance is 62-miles, or 100-kilometers, and the ferry connects US Highway Route 10 as well between these two cities.

The coal-fired SS Badger started out life as a steel train ferry, with a construction date given of 1952, and was retired from that service in November of 1990 as the last railway car ferry service out of not only Ludington, but ending the service on Lake Michigan.

Also interesting to note that the location of the mysterious Lake Michigan Triangle stretches from the three port cities of both Ludington and Manitowoc, and Michigan’s Benton Harbor.

As suggested by the name as a comparison to the Bermuda Triangle, the Michigan Triangle is also a place with a reputation for ships, planes and people disappearing under mysterious circumstances.

The Ludington Lighthouse is located at the end of the North Breakwater where the Pere Marquette River meets Lake Michigan in the Pere Marquette Harbor.

It was said to have been established in 1871 originally, and the structure there today was said to have been built in 1924.

Here is the Ludington Lighthouse in alignment with the setting sun.

The Big Sable Point Lighthouse is located on the other side of Ludington State Park from the Ludington Lighthouse, in the vicinity of the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area.

The Big Sable Point Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1867, and is just a short-distance north of the Ludington State Park entrance.

We are told that construction materials were brought in by ship since there wasn’t a road to it until 1933, and even today the road to get there is sandy and you have to walk because motor vehicles are prohibited.

Also, this was the last Great Lakes lighthouse to get electricity and plumbing, which came in the late 1940s.

Here it is at sunset as well.

I’ve seen enough lighthouses over the years in perfect alignment with the heavens to more than convince me that in no way are these astronomical alignments occurring randomly but were very much intentional by the original builders and were not built by the people in the historical reset narrative that claimed credit for building them.

The Ludington State Park, of which the Big Sable Point Lighthouse is a part, is altogether 4,800-acres, or 1,900-hectares in size, with many different kinds of ecosystems, which include sand dunes, wetlands, marshlands and forests.

The Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area which is directly adjacent to the Ludington State Park is part of the Manistee National Forest lands, and managed by the U. S. Forest Service.

The federal government declared the Nordhouse Dunes area of the Manistee National Forest a wilderness in the Michigan Wilderness Act of 1987.

On 3,450-acres, or 1,396-hectares of land, it is the world’s most extensive set of freshwater dunes.

Continuing on down the coast a little ways,  the next area I am going to look at includes the Silver Lake State Park and the Little Sable Point Lighthouse.

First, Silver Lake State Park.

The Silver Lake State Park is 4-miles, or 6.4-kilometers, west of Mears in Oceana County, and on its almost 3,000-acres, or 1,200-hectares, of land, has along with mature forest land, has over 2,000-acres, or 810-hectares of sand dunes.

We are told that the park originated in 1920, when 25-acres, or 10-hectares, of land for park purposes were donated by Carrie Mears, the daughter of Lumber Baron Charles Mears.

Then in 1926, 900-acres, or 364-hectares, were transferred to the state from the federal government, which became Sand Dunes State Park in 1949.

In 1951, the two parcels of land were merged together to become Silver Lake State Park.

From the limited information available to find on this man, Charles Mears owned huge forests in Michigan, and owned fifteen sawmills.

He was also said to have built cargo boats to move the lumber from the sawmills as well as building several important harbors in western Michigan.

The Little Sable Point Lighthouse is located just south of Silver Lake State Park.

It was said to have been designed by Col. Orlando Poe, and finally constructed in 1874, after funding was approved by Congress in 1871.

Apparently construction was delayed because there weren’t any roads here either according to the official narrative.

Mears State Park is located north of Silver Lake at Pentwater, which is roughly half-way between the Ludington area and the Silver Lake area.

Mears State Park is comprised of 50-acres, or 20-hectares, of land on the north side of the Channel that connects Pentwater Lake to Lake Michigan, not far from the previously-mentioned Highway 31.

Like Silver Lake State Park, Mears State Park was also said to have come about on land donated to the State in 1920 that was owned by Carrie Mears, and the 16-acres she donated was described as “strictly lake sand,” which was quickly eroded when the vegetation that held it in place was disturbed when the land was graded.

We are told this problem was solved with five-tons of marsh hay that were laid on top of it.

Mears State Park is a swimming, camping, hiking and fishing destination.

Mears State Park is known for its stunning sunsets, like this one behind the Pentwater North Pierhead Light.

Charles Mears was said to have constructed the Pentwater Channel in 1855 to accommodate his lumber interests, and he was said to have constructed a pier here as well, though we are told the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers built the concrete piers we see today in 1937, which would have been during the Great Depression, which lasted from 1929 to 1939.

Interesting to note the presence of megalithic stone blocks in the waters off of Pentwater.

Next, I am going to head down the coast to the Muskegon area, where we also find Hoffmaster State Park and the Gillette Sand Dune Visitor Center and sand dune ecosystem.

First, a little bit about Muskegon, the largest city on Lake Michigan’s eastern shore.

The city of Muskegon is located on the south-side of Muskegon Lake, which is a harbor of Lake Michigan, which like we just saw in Pentwater, is connected to it by a navigational channel.

There are two lighthouses at this location – the Muskegon South Pierhead Lighthouse and the Muskegon South Breakwater Lighthouse.

The South Pierhead Lighthouse is located on the Harbor Channel, where there has been said to have been one since 1851, though we are told the current lighthouse was constructed in 1903.

We are told the Muskegon South Breakwater Lighthouse was constructed in 1929 and first lit in 1930.

We are told that the earliest Europeans who visited the area were French explorers like the Jesuit Father Marquette and French soldiers under the explorer LaSalle in the late 1670s.

As a matter of fact, Pere Marquette Park is a beach-area that is located just to the south of the south breakwater and pier.

The Pere Marquette quartz-sand beach is bordered by large sand-dunes.

When I was looking for information about Pere Marquette Park, I came across the information that Lake Michigan Park occupied the north end of today’s Pere Marquette Park.

Lake Michigan Park was a trolley park that had a large roller coaster, dance hall, and pavilions where rail service said to have been developed in the late 18th- and early-19th-centuries to encourage local and regional demand.

We are told the trolley park’s closure was linked to the decline of the trolley service, and the amusement park was torn down in 1930, and at some point became Pere Marquette Park.

While the earliest European settlers to the area that became Muskegon were in the fur trade, ultimately the population and economic growth of Muskegon was due to the lumber industry, which began there in 1837, and the city became known as the “Lumber Queen of the World.”

Muskegon also became a manufacturing hub, including but not limited to bowling pins, Raggedy Ann dolls, boats, beer, engines, pianos, and paper to name a few.

This is an historic photograph of Muskegon, circa 1900.

The P. J. Hoffmaster State Park is located south of Norton Shores and the Muskegon County Airport, and just to the west of Highway 31.

It was established in 1963, and named after Percy James Hoffmaster, who was considered the founder of the Michigan State Parks system, and is a public recreation area with hiking trails, camping areas, and a beach.

The Gillette Sand Dune Visitor Center was named after Genevieve Gillette, a conservationist who scouted for new state park locations for P. J. Hoffmaster.

The Gillette Sand Dune Visitor Center is described as being nestled among one of the nation’s most impressive dune systems, and is itself perched on top of a large wooded dune.

Now I am going to head down the eastern coast of Lake Michigan to the Holland area.

Holland is located near the eastern shore of Lake Macatawa, known historically as Black Lake, which is fed by the Macatawa River, known as the Black River.

Historically the landof the Ottawa people, we are told that in 1839, the Reverend George Smith established the Old Wing Mission here as a Christian mission to the Ottawa people, and the building described as a Greek Revival structure is said to be the oldest house in Holland.

Then we are told in 1847, Holland was settled by Dutch Calvinist Separatists who emigrated from the Netherlands under the leadership of Dr. Albertus van Raalte because of drastic economic conditions there settled in the Old Wing Mission area along with the Ottawa, and there was conflict between the two, resulting in the Ottawa moving north from their land.

Dr. van Raalte then established a congregation of the Reformed Church in America, later called the First Reformed Church of Holland.

Then in 1867, Holland was incorporated as a city.

As I mentioned previously in this post, Holland was one of the locations of the Great Michigan Fire on October 8th of 1871, the same day as the Great Chicago Fire.

The vast majority of downtown Holland burned in the fire, and the cause of the fire remains unknown, though suggested causes have included burning embers from the Chicago fire crossing Lake Michigan, to burning methane gas from a passing comet.

The Holland Harbor Lighthouse is nicknamed “Big Red.”

It is located at the entrance of the channel that connects Lake Macatawa to Lake Michigan, and the current structure was said to have been built in 1907, though we are told a lighthousewas first constructed here in 1872.

The light was automated in 1932 and is maintained by the Coast Guard.

Public access to “Big Red” is limited, so the best viewing location is from across the Harbor at Holland State Park, one of Michigan’s popular beach locations, receiving 1.5-million to 2-million visitors each year.

Another notable place in Holland is Windmill Island Gardens.

This is what we are told about this location.

This is a city park that is home to the 251-year-old De Zwaan Windmill, the only authentic and working Dutch windmill in the United States.

We are told the windmill was purchased from a retired miller in The Netherlands in 1964, and that it was brought over by ship and reconstructed in the park location on artificial island formed by a canal and the Macatawa River and the park opened in 1965.

The park includes 35-acres, or 15-hectares, of land along the Macatawa River and the swamp leading into Lake Macatawa.

Every year, 100,000 tulips bloom in gardens on the island and enjoyed in the summer months, and the Tulip Time Festival every May draws the most crowds.

Here’s the thing.

We’re not being told the truth about traditional wind mills already being here either.

Traditional wind mills were prevalent at one time, and found all over the world.

While some still are in existence, like the lighthouses, their true purpose has been deliberately obscured.

Next, the Saugatuck Dunes state park is located between Holland and Saugatuck.

The Saugatuck Dunes State Park is a largely undeveloped, 1,000-acre, or 400-hectare, public recreation area with a beach, and 14-miles of hiking trails and 200-foot, or 61-meter, -high sand dunes covered with trees and grass.

It is interesting to note that the estate of Dorr E. Felt is just to the north of the Saugatuck Dunes State Park.

Dorr E. Felt was known to history as the inventor of the Comptometer, an adding machine and calculator used by businesses.

Apparently, his invention made him a very wealthy man.

So much so, he could afford to build between 1925 and 1928, a 12,000-square-foot, or 1,115-square-meter, mansion, carriage house, farm house, and petting zoo, to be a summer home called “Shore Acres Farm” for he and his wife and children,

Sadly his wife Agnes passed away a couple of months after the family moved into the home, and he only outlived her by a couple of years, and the Felt family finally sold the property in 1949.

The property has also been used as a Catholic Seminary, and also as a prison by the State of Michigan.

The State of Michigan owned the grounds until the early 1990s, at which time it sold the property to the Laketown Township for $1, with the stipulation the Mansion would be used by the public, and not by private enterprise, and among other things, it is a popular wedding venue.

And, like the former Traverse City State Hospital, also known for being haunted.

The next area I am going to take a look at on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan in western Michigan is the area in Berrien County around Benton Harbor; St. Joseph; Grand Mere State Park; Bridgman; and the Warren Dunes State Park.

Berrien County is on the border with Indiana.

First, Benton Harbor and St. Joseph.

Benton Harbor and St. Joseph are known locally as the “Twin Cities,” and are separated by the St. Joseph River.

We are told before a village was laid out in 1860 at what became Benton Harbor, the location was said to be wetlands bordered by the Paw Paw River through which a ship canal was built to drain the wetlands and create a harbor.

The canal has not been navigable at all since 1963.

Benton Harbor was named after Thomas Hart Benton, a Senator from Missouri who helped Michigan become a state.

Like Lewis Cass for Michigan, I came across Thomas Hart Benton in the National Statuary Hall representing Missouri at the U. S. Capitol building in Washington, and these two men were contemporaries of each other.

Thomas Hart Benton was a United States Senator from Missouri, and he was a champion of westward expansion, a cause that became known as “Manifest Destiny.”

He served in the U. S. Senate between 1821 and 1851, becoming the first Senator to serve five-terms.

As Senator, Benton’s main concern was westward expansion, or what became known as “Manifest Destiny,” a 19th-century belief that the United States was destined by God to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire continent.

And like Lewis Cass, Thomas Hart Benton was a Freemason.

Freemasons and Jesuits are at the top of my “Whodunnit” list of who was responsible for the reset of history and new historical narrative.

The Yore Opera House Fire of September 5th and 6th of 1896 was considered a significant tragedy for Benton Harbor.

The fire resulted in the deaths of 12 firefighters and considerable property damage, including the opera house and in the Yore block of businesses as well.

The cause of the fire was never determined.

Next, I am going to head across the St. Joseph River from Benton Harbor to St. Joseph, the county seat of Berrien County.

St. Joseph was incorporated as a village in 1834 and as a city in 1891.

French explorers led by La Salle were said to have arrived here in 1679 and established Fort Miami on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan.

This part of Michigan is the traditional land of the Potawatomi people.

What is called the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi has deep ties to the St. Joseph area and we are told were the only Potawatomi band that was allowed to remain in Michigan after the forced removals of the 1830s

In the 1830s, most were removed from their lands and forced to relocate west to Indian Territory.

The St. Joseph North Pier Inner and Outer Lights are lighthouses at the entrance to the St. Joseph River on Lake Michigan, said to have been built in 1906 and 1907, and were decommissioned in 2005.

The lighthouses can be accessed by the public at Tiscornia Park, which is a Lake Michigan beach, dune and wildlife area on the north side of the channel that is called the St. Joseph River.

Silver Beach County Park is located on the other side of the channel.

At one time, Silver Beach was a trolley park and developed as a vacation resort, which first opened in 1891.

The amusement park had a roller coaster, roller skating rink, pipe organ, boxing ring, dance hall and carousel.

The carousel was restored to its former glory and can be found in the building to the right-side of this photo of the park facing Lake Michigan.

There is a fountain on the left called the Whirlpool Compass Fountain.

The Whirlpool Compass Fountain is described as a large splash pad with water jets that can be enjoyed in the spring and summer months.

I have no doubt there is more to this story as well.

We are told that in January of 1870, the Chicago and Michigan Lake Shore Railroad extended a rail-line from New Buffalo to St. Joseph, connecting it to Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Detroit, and Chicago.

It was reorganized as the Chicago and West Michigan Railway and then incorporated into the Pere Marquette Railroad.

Today it is part of the CSX Grand Rapids Subdivision which runs from Chicago to Grand Rapids, which includes Amtrak’s “Pere Marquette” passenger rail service once per day between the two cities, mostly along the southern shore of Lake Michigan.

Next, Grand Mere State Park is located between St. Joseph and Bridgman.

Grand Mere State Park is described as having “magnificent sand dunes and deep blow-outs,” and has several lakes and wetlands as well.

The park has almost two-miles, or 3.2-kilometers, of sandy beach that you have to climb over steep sand dunes on foot to get to because off-road vehicles have been banned.

Next comes the city of Bridgman, which we are told was founded by lumbermen in 1856.

Then it was platted by George Bridgman in 1870, and centered on a railroad station that opened that year.

Bridgman is infamous for hosting the Bridgman Convention in 1922.

The Bridgman Convention was a secret meeting of the underground Communist Party of America, and this was their annual meeting for the election of officers and so forth.

This particular year, it was attended by an undercover FBI agent, who informed his superiors of the meeting details and federal and local agents showed up and made arrests.

The Warren Dunes State Park is in the southwest corner of the Lower Peninsula in Berrien County heading towards the state line with Indiana, just to the south of Bridgman.

We are told the Warren Dunes State Park’s large sand dunes and lake shore beaches make it one of the most popular state parks of Michigan.

The Tower Hill Dune is one of the many large dunes found at the park, which is the highest point in the park standing at about 240-feet, or 73-meters, -high.

This park is a popular place for sandboarding because of easy access to the dunes.

Now I am going to cross the Indiana state line and next take a look at Michigan City; the Indiana Dunes; and Gary.

I first researched these three places in-depth when I was “Trekking the Serpent Ley” from the Bermuda Triangle to Lake Itasca back in August of 2023.

First, Michigan City.

Michigan City is the northern terminus of what was originally the Michigan Road.

It is on the eastern side of the Indiana Dunes on the southern shore of Lake Michigan.

The Michigan Road was Indiana’s first “super-highway,” and said to have been constructed in the 1830s and 1840s between Madison, Indiana, and Michigan City, Indiana, by way of Indianapolis.

We are told that one of the things that made what became the Michigan Road possible was the concession of land by the Potawatomi in the 1826 Treaty, allowing for a ribbon of land that was 100-feet, or 30-meters, wide, stretching between Madison at the Ohio River and Michigan City on Lake Michigan.

The original Michigan Road pre-dated the “Plank Road Boom” by about 10 years or so.

We are told the “Plank Road Boom” lasted in the United States from 1844 to the mid-1850s, with more than 10,000-miles, or 16,000-kilometers, of plank roads built across the country.

Newspapers and Magazines of the time, including the New York Tribune and Scientific American, extolled plank roads as being easy to construct and a way to transform the rural transit trade of the country.

As we see in these photos, plank roads are crossing over landscapes covered in sand and dunes.

Were the so-called “plank roads” actually re-purposed railroad tracks that were dug out of the sand?

What are we really looking at here?

I could find references to the original Michigan Road being unpaved, and hard to build because of “swampy land” in places…

…but this is what I was able to find with regards to the Michigan Road in Indiana possibly being a “plank road” in the 1830s.

I also found this paper note guaranty from 1862, which would have been during the American Civil War, for a “plank road” here.

Interesting to see the masonry archway with the herded livestock underneath it in the lower-right-hand corner of the note.

The Michigan City Power Plant is west of the city’s downtown on the lake-shore next to the dunes, and while it is not a nuclear power plant, it is a coal-burning plant that looks like one.

We are told that the origins of Michigan City go back to 1830, when real estate speculator Isaac Elston purchased land for the city, paying $200 for 160-acres, or 65-hectares, of land, and that by the time the city was incorporated in 1836, it had 1,500 residents; a post office; a newspaper; a church; a commercial district and ten hotels, having grown to a size of 15-square-miles, or 39-kilometers-squared in six-years.

The Old Michigan City Light in the harbor was said to have been built in 1858 and deactivated in 1904.

It’s a museum these days.

We are told the Michigan City East Pierhead Light was constructed on a newly extended pier in the harbor in 1904 and replaced the Old Michigan City Light, and then in 2007, the U. S. Coast Guard deemed this lighthouse excess, and offered it for no cost to eligible entities under the terms of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000 to facilitate transfer of ownership from federal to private hands, and Michigan City filed a letter of interest for it.

The next place we come to after Michigan City are the Indiana Dunes.

Designated as the nation’s newest National Park in February of 2019, the Indiana Dunes National Park runs 20-miles, or 32-kilometers, along the southern shore of Lake Michigan.

It had been designated as a National Lakeshore by Congress in 1966.

The Indiana Dunes State Park is within the boundaries of the National Park, and was first established in 1925 by Richard Lieber, a German-American businessman/conservationist who was the founder of the Indiana State Park System.

While we are told there is little evidence of permanent Native American communities here except for evidence instead of seasonal hunting camps, there have been five groups of mounds documented in the dunes area.

The Indiana Dunes are to the northwest between Fort Wayne and Lake Michigan, and the Great Black Swamp is to the northeast between Fort Wayne and Lake Erie.

I absolutely believe there is much to be discovered from the original civilization underneath all that sand and all that land!

I found an unexpected connection to the Indiana Dunes when I was doing the research for “On the Trail of Giants in Appalachia and Beyond” back in January of 2024.

When I was looking into the “North Bend Rail Trail” in West Virginia between Cairo and Ellenboro, I found out that it was part of the “American Discovery Trail” that runs from coast-to-coast through 15-states and the District of Columbia, and is the only non-motorized trail that crosses the country.

Interestingly, the “American Discovery Trail” includes the the Indiana Dunes Discovery Trail, which is called one of the most biodiverse areas in the United States, and includes sand dunes and wetlands, including bogs, existing right next to each other in the same location, and both are beside railroad tracks, circled on the bottom right.

The South Shore Line runs in this part of Indiana starting in South Bend, and goes between Michigan City just to the east of the Indiana Dunes, to Gary, Indiana, located just to the west of the Indiana Dunes, on its way to Chicago, Illinois.

The Cleveland-Cliffs Steel Plant is located on the west side of the Indiana Dunes National Park.

Operated by Cleveland-Cliffs Inc, it is the world’s largest producer of flat-rolled steel in North America.

The company’s predecessor was the Cleveland Iron Mining Company, which was first founded in 1847 and chartered as a company in Michigan in 1850.

Industrialist Samuel Mather, co-founder of a shipping and mining company, and several of his associates had learned of rich iron-ore deposits in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and soon afterwards the Soo Locks opened in 1855, allowing for the shipping of iron ore from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan.

There was a mine strike by miners in the Upper Peninsula Iron Ore Mines in July of 1865, after the company announced a wage cut since the American Civil War had just ended.

The miners ended up storming the mines and the town of Marquette, Michigan, looting and burning along the way.

The Cleveland Iron Mining Company requested military intervention to end the strike, and a U. S. Navy gunboat, the Michigan, and troops responded.

They were given 24-hours to go back to work, or the camp was going to be shelled.

They acquiesed, but after the Michigan left, they went back on strike. The Michigan returned and more troops, and the miners’ strike was put down for good.

This story is repeated over and over again in our historical narrative, with workers having no recourse from low wages and hazardous working conditions.

More on this subject in a moment.

Next, we come to Gary, Indiana, which is also adjacent to the Indiana Dunes, and which I first looked in to when I was “Trekking the Serpent Ley.”

This is what we are told about Gary.

Gary was named after Elbert Henry Gary, a founder of U. S. Steel in 1901, along with J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, and Charles M. Schwab, and he was the second President of U. S. Steel, from 1903 to 1911.

In June of 1906, the location of what became the city of Gary, about 26-miles, or 42-kilometers, east of Chicago, Illinois, was a wasteland of drifting sand and patches of scrub oak.

No one lived there, and there was no agricultural value to the land.

Three or four railroads passed through the area and the Grand Calumet River wound its way around sand dunes to get to Lake Michigan.

It was in June of 1906 that the first shovelful of sand was turned for the creation of the new steel town of Gary.

Laborers were housed in tents and shacks, and were digging trenches as very little work was being done above-ground.

And that by 1908, the city of Gary had taken on its shape and form!

Gary was heralded as a “Magic City,” having been transformed from sand dunes in record time!

Gary was established to be the “company town” for U. S. Steel, and became home to the largest steel mill complex in the world, with its operation starting in June of 1908, only two-years after the first shovelful of sand was turned at this location.

Gary was the site of one of the steel strikes in 1919.

The American Federation of Labor was attempting to organize a labor union in the leading company in the American steel industry, leading to strikes at U. S. Steel locations across the country.

In Gary, a riot broke out on October 4th of 1919 between steel-workers and strike-breakers brought in from the outside.

Several days later, the Indiana Governor declared martial law and brought in 4,000 federal troops commanded by Major-General Leonard Wood to restore order.

By January of 1920, the strike had collapsed completely, and U. S. Steel having successfully opposed unionization efforts at that time, and it would be many years before unionization efforts in the steel industry resumed.

U. S. Steel is still the largest employer in Gary, and is still a major steel producer, but with a significantly reduced workforce due to the increase in overseas competitiveness in the steel industry over the years.

As a matter of fact, Gary has been in decline for years, with population loss leading to abandonment of much of the city, unemployment and decaying infrastructure.

So a pattern emerges of available resources being harvested and processed by workers in their local communities who have no choice and/or forced to work as wage slaves in order to have some kind of income just to be able to survive in places owned by the same companies.

This is a good place to bring up the subject of mill and factory, and other kinds of company, towns.

Mill towns emerged primarily in Europe and the east coast of the United States starting in the early- to -mid 1800s.

They were typically “company” towns, where one company is 1) the main employer, and 2) owns practically everything in the town – stores, houses, churches, schools, and recreational facilities.

The people of these towns were pretty-much dependent on the company for everything.

They had a job for life working for the company but they weren’t paid much, and the company got it all back from them anyway because they owned everything.

Pretty much the definition of wage slavery.

Then to add insult to injury, the companies outsourced their menial, low-paying job model in other countries, leaving American company towns high-and-dry.

Ever wonder how all the wealth in the world got sucked up by the few?

Now I am going to move up the western shoreline of Lake Michigan to where Chicago is located.

There’s just a couple of things I want to mention here about Chicago – the 1871 Great Fire and the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.

As I have already mentioned, there was more than one fire on Lake Michigan on October 8th of 1871, though the Great Chicago Fire is the best-known.

It started on October 8th, and burned 3.3-square-miles, or 9-kilometers-squared, over a 3-day period.

Here is an infographic that nicely summarizes all of the data points surrounding the Great Chicago Fire, right down to who is given the credit for re-building after the fire.

The most enduring reason in popular culture for how the Great Chicago Fire started was that around 9 pm on October 8th, a cow kicked over a lantern when it was being milked in a small barn belonging to the O’Leary family, and that the shed next to the barn was the first building consumed before it spread to consume a large percentage of the city.

The predominance of wood buildings was one of the explanations given for creating the flammable conditions that fueled the fire.

Yet, here are some photographs taken after the Chicago fire showing what remained.

This first one shows a ruined, yet still beautiful stone aqueduct, on the left, compared with the famous aqueduct in Segovia, Spain, on the right, said to have been built by the Romans in the 1st-Century AD.

Here’s another one, with shells of stone masonry, and piles of various types of masonry.

There was another fire the very next day, in Urbana, Illinois on October 9th of 1871.

Urbana is 126-miles, or 202-kilometers, to the southwest of Chicago.

The fire in Urbana destroyed a large part of its downtown area.

Next, the Chicago World’s Fair, also known as the“World’s Columbian Exhibition,” was held in 1893 to celebrate the 400th-anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World in 1492, and said to have been designed by many prominent architects of the day.

We are told the Fair also served to show the world that Chicago had risen from the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, only 22-years earlier.

After his journalism career, the previously-mentioned Frederick Law Olmsted’s career as a prolific and celebrated landscape architect was said to have gotten its start teaming up with Calvert Vaux in the design and creation of Central Park in New York City.

For the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, we are told Frederick Law Olmsted collaborated with yet another prolific architect, Chicagoan Daniel Burnham, to adapt Olmsted’s design of a Venetian-inspired pleasure ground, complete with waterways and places for quiet reflection in nature that complemented the grand architecture of the World’s Fair…

…for the South Park Commission Site for the World’s Columbian Exposition of Jackson Park, Washington Park, and the Midway Plaisance.

This area was described as a sandy area along Chicago’s lakeshore that looked like a deserted marsh before construction began, but Olmsted saw, we are told, the area’s potential, and that his design included lagoons and what became known as Wood Island since they had not been developed yet.

As the person responsible for planning the basic land- and water-shape of the exposition grounds, we are told that Olmsted concluded the marshy areas of Jackson Park could be converted into waterways, and that workers dredged sand out of the marshes to make lagoons of different shapes and sizes.

Of course, since the buildings of the World’s Fair were only intended to be temporary structures, they were torn down afterwards, but Olmsted’s Jackson Park was left as a legacy for Chicagoans to enjoy…

…which hosts one of two World’s Fair buildings that were left standing – the former Palace of Fine Arts, which houses the Museum of Science and Industry today.

We are told the other still-standing building from the 1893 World’s Fair is the Art Institute of Chicago…

…which was said to have been utilized as an auxiliary building during the World’s Fair for international assemblies and conferences.

The Statue of the Republic in Jackson Park today is described as a gilded, and smaller, replica of the statue of the 1893 Exhibition.

The original statue of the Exhibition was said to have been destroyed by fire in 1896 on the order of the park commissioners, and the new statue sculpted by the same artist.

We are told it was erected in 1918 to commemorate both the 25th-anniversary of the World’s Columbian Exhibition and the centennial-anniversary of the statehood of Illinois.

Now I am going to go up the western coast of Lake Michigan from Chicago to Waukegan in Illinois, and then on to Kenosha in Wisconsin.

First, Waukegan was first known as “Little Fort,” and we are told was started as a French trading settlement some time in the 1700s with the Potawatomie Tribe, who had taken it from the Miami tribe, and the Mascouten tribe, an Algonquin-speaking tribe historically from this region.

Then, in 1829, the United Nations of the Potawatomi, Chippewa, and Ottawa ceded their claim to their land in northwestern Illinois and southwestern Wisconsin to the United States in the Second Treaty of Prairie du Chien.

When the Erie Canal first opened in the 1820s, a direct passage was opened between New York and the Great Lakes, what became Waukegan quickly became a destination for immigrants for settlement and investment for business interests.

The town was incorporated as Waukegan in 1849.

Waukegan quickly became an important industrial hub in the mid-19th-century, including ship- and wagon-building; flour-milling; dairying; and beer-brewing.

The Chicago and Milwaukee Railroad had arrived in 1855, stimulating the growth of the economy even more.

This is a plat-map of Waukegan from 1861, showing an already well-developed cityscape in a very short period of time.

The block highlighted in red on the lower, left-hand-side was the original “Little Fort” the city was named for.

It is important to note that Waukegan has three Superfund sites on the “National Priorities List” for removal of hazardous substances.

PCBs were first found in Waukegan Harbor sediments in 1975 from the manufacturing at the Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC), and in the clean-up process soil contaminants were found at the Waukegan Manufactured Gas & Coke Plant co-located with OMC.

The Johns-Manville Site just to the north was found to have asbestos contamination, and the Yeoman Landfill to the west of the Johns-Manville Site was found to have groundwater contaminated with volatile chemicals and PCBs.

Illinois Beach State Park is located on Lake Michigan in-between Waukegan and Kenosha.

The Adeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach State Park, so-named for a long-term Illinois Senator from the area, forms most of the Chiwaukee Prairie Illinois Beach Lake Plain, an internationally-recognized wetland of importance under the Ramsar Convention.

I first became aware of the Ramsar Convention when I was tracking a long-distance alignment through the Strait of Hormuz between the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf.

The Ramsar Convention is an international treaty that was first signed in February of 1971 in Ramsar, Iran, and is reviewed every three-years by the contracting international parties.

It designated sites, known as “Ramsar Sites,” to be considered of international importance when it comes to the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands.

As one example, the United Arab Emirates as a whole has eight Ramsar wetlands sites.

The Ramsar Convention defines wetlands as “areas of marsh, fen, peat, or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide, does not exceed 20-feet, or 6-meters.

The Chiwaukee Prairie to the north of Illinois Beach at the state line with Wisconsin includes grassy wetlands, wooded areas, and the Kenosha Sand Dunes, one of the few remaining dune systems in southeastern Wisconsin.

You can also find megalithic stone blocks lining the beach at the Kenosha Sand Dunes location.

The Kenosha Lighthouses are also visible from the Kenosha Sand Dunes.

Next, I am going to go across the Illinois state line into Wisconsin, and take a look at Kenosha.

Kenosha is located half-way between Chicago and Milwaukee on Interstate 94 which connects all three cities, and Kenosha is the fourth-largest city in Wisconsin.

Like Waukegan, Kenosha has also been a center of industrial activity, and for many years was home to a large automotive industry, which went away in the 1980s.

The Snap-On tool company was founded in Milwaukee in 1920, and the company’s headquarters moved to Kenosha in 1930, where it still is headquartered today.

What became known as Kenosha was settled in 1835 as “Pike Creek” by a group of European settlers from the Western Emigrating Company by way of Hannibal and Troy, New York, led by a man named John Bullen, Jr, who was considered the founder of Kenosha.

Kenosha was incorporated in 1850, a year after Waukegan, as seen on the city seal of Kenosha, as well as some other interesting imagery.

Originally, electric streetcars operated in Kenosha between February 3rd of 1903 through February 14th of 1932, when the streetcars were replaced with trolley buses.

Kenosha was once part of a larger interurban system, The Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company (TMER & L), that operated as such in and around Milwaukee between 1896 and 1938, and eventually went away completely for public use in 1958 with the closure of the last line on Wells Street in Milwaukee.

Why go through the time, energy and effort to construct a sophisticated interurban electric streetcar system, for example, only to use it for such a short period of time.

What if it was actually already there, and just restarted long enough until it could be replaced by something else, like gas-powered vehicles.

Then, electric streetcar transportation simply wasn’t needed anymore for the general public.

Unlike most places, Kenosha still has an operational electric streetcar line that was revived, and has been in operation since June of 2000.

Before I head up the western coast of Lake Michigan to points north of Kenosha, I am going to take a side-trip to Aztalan State Park, the area around Lake Mills and Rock Lake; the State Capital of Madison; and Horicon Marsh.

Aztalan State Park is a National Historic Landmark of what is called by historians part of the Mississippian culture of moundbuilders, and was part of a widespread culture throughout the Mississippi and its tributaries, with a vast trading network extending from the Great Lakes Region, to the Gulf Coast, to the Southeast.

The largest mound at Aztalan State Park on the left is very similar in appearance to Monk’s Mound on the right at Cahokia State Historic Site in Collinsville, Illinois, which was considered to be a chief center of the Middle Mississippian culture.

I was able to find a graphic showing astronomical alignments of Monk’s Mound…

…but the closest thing I could find for the Aztalan Mounds are the results of this remote sensing project using a gradiometer of Aztalan from December of 2018.

Next, Lake Mills is slightly to the northwest of Aztalan.

Lake Mills is the location of Rock Lake, described as a fishing hole east of Madison.

It can loosely be described as having the shape of a figure-8.

There is a persistent legend there are ancient pyramids at the bottom of Rock Lake, on land that was flooded in the 19th-century, and researchers have investigated for evidence, but critics claim the legend is nothing more than fable.

Pyramids have long-been talked about at the bottom of Rock Lake.

One more thing that I would like to mention that is found at Rock Lake.

The “Glacial Drumlin State Trail” runs across an old railroad bridge at the southern end of the lake, separating it from the marshy-area of Bean Lake.

As a matter of fact, the “Glacial Drumlin State Trail” is another rail-trail.

The story goes that this was a challenging landscape for the builders of the Chicago and North Western Railway between Madison and Milwaukee in the 1880s, and that the wooden pilings supporting the trains sank in the wetlands muck.

It was no longer used as an active train-line by 1983 and was turned into a rail-trail in 1986.

Madison, the state capital of Wisconsin, is the short-distance of 24-miles, or 38-kilometers, west of Lake Mills and Rock Lake.

Madison is just to the east of the boundary of the “Driftless Area” in Wisconsin.

The “Driftless Area” is a region in the midwestern United States that was said to have never been covered by ice in the last Ice Age.

So the area to the east of the “Driftless Area” where Madison is, we are told this landscape was formed when glaciers bore-down on southeastern Wisconsin during the last Ice Age, creating the wetlands, ponds, rivers, and drumlins, hundreds of low-cigar-shaped hills.

Madison is situated on an isthmus, which as I mentioned previously,is defined as a narrow strip of land that connects two larger areas across an expanse of water that would otherwise separate them, and is surrounded by five lakes.

Madison’s current State Capitol building was said to have been completed in 1917 (which would have been during World War I), and is located on the southeastern end of the Madison Isthmus.

This building was said to have been the third capitol building at the same location.

The State Capitol Building sits at the center of a geometric street grid on the Madison Isthmus…

…surrounded by such places as the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which was first established in 1848.

The seal of the University of Wisconsin-Madison has the same single eye that we saw back on the city seal of Kenosha.

Horicon Marsh is to the northeast of Madison, Lake Mills, and Aztalan.

Horicon Marsh is described as a silted-up glacial lake that is a national and state wildlife refuge, with silt, clay, and peat that accumulated with the retreating glaciers of the Green Bay Lobe of the Wisconsin Glaciation during the Pleistocene Era, which was said to have ended roughly 11,700-years ago.

On the left is a picture of what is classified as a drumlin from the Green Bay Lobe, and on the right is a picture of Glastonbury Tor in England.

A “tor” is defined as a landform created by the erosion and weathering of rock.

Yet Glastonbury is well-known for its perfect astronomical alignments at times like the summer solstice each year.

Back at the Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin, you can see straight channels in this aerial photo of it…

…just like the straight channels you see in the Mississippi River Delta south of New Orleans.

Europeans moving into the area called it the “Great Marsh of the Winnebagos,” indigenous people who historically lived in this region.

The Winnebago, also called the “Ho-Chunk,” were removed from their ancestral land eleven times between 1836 and 1874.

After each removal, they found a way home until finally, between 1873 and 1874, the government used military force to remove 900 Winnebago to the Nebraska Reservation, even though many still legally owned land in Wisconsin.

The city of Horicon is situated at the southern tip of Horicon Marsh, at what are called the headwaters of the Rock River, which travels 320-miles, or 515-kilometers, to the Mississippi at the Quad-Cities of Illinois & Iowa.

Here is an aerial view of the city of Horicon on the top left showing what is called the Rock River, the shape of which immediately brought to mind the Connecticut River between Connecticut and Vermont on the top right, and the Cetina River at Omis Beach in Croatia on the bottom right.

And in a close-up shot in Horicon from the outdoor deck the Rock River Tap Bar and Grill, the masonry banks of a canal can be seen.

Here’s another view of the canal called the Rock River in Janesville, Wisconsin.

Now onto Milwaukee, the largest city in Wisconsin.

Incorporated as a city in 1846, Milwaukee quickly became a hub for Germans immigrating to the United States, especially after the Revolutions of 1848.

In the decade from 1845 to 1855, more than a million Germans fled to the United States to escape economic hardship.

We are told that unlike the Irish who were immigrating to America around the same time because of the Great Potato Famine of 1845 – 1849, many of the German immigrants had enough money to journey to the midwest in search of farmland and work.

The Germans sought to escape the political unrest caused by riots, rebellion, and the Revolutions of 1848.

The Revolutions of 1848 were a series of political upheavals throughout Europe that year.

The Revolutions had the aim of removing the old monarchical structures and creating independent nation-states, and was the most widespread revolutionary wave in Europe’s history, with 50 countries being affected.

I have come to the conclusion from my research that the actual goal was to remove the original ancient ruling families, and ultimately replace them with a new form of government, which was ultimately controllable.

So in our historical narrative, the “Forty-Eighters” were Europeans who left their countries to immigrate to other countries after the “Revolutions of 1848,” for given reasons such as disappointment with their failure to permanently change the government in places like Germany or the Austrian Empire, or because they were ordered by the governments to leave because of their revolutionary activities.

The “Forty-Eighters” tended to be respected, wealthy, well-educated and politically active, and successful in their new countries.

Many of the German “Forty-Eighters” who came to America landed in places like Wisconsin, Missouri, Ohio and Texas, where they developed beer and wine industries and agricultural enterprises, with Milwaukee being a good example of this.

Milwaukee has long been associated with the beer industry.

Between 1840 and 1860, thirty-five breweries were established in the Milwaukee area, and throughout the course of its history, home to 70 breweries and over 100 brewing companies.

We are told that after the 1871 Great Chicago Fire, which destroyed Chicago’s brewing industry, Milwaukee was well-placed to become the “Brewing Capital of the World.”

Now I want to bring forward a few places in Milwaukee.

First, Milwaukee’s lighthouses – the Pierhead lighthouse, the Breakwater Lighthouse, and the North Point Lighthouse.

The Milwaukee Pierhead Lighthouse is located just south of downtown in the Milwaukee Harbor, and called a “sister” of the Kenosha Lighthouse.

It was said to have been constructed in 1872.

The Breakwater Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1926 to mark the entrance to the harbor.

The North Point Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1888 to mark the entrance to the Milwaukee River, and it is in Lake Park.

We are told the first lighthouse was built on this bluff in 1855, but that in the late 1880s, it was jeopardized by the erosion of the bluff and plans were made to replace it.

So by 1888, this lighthouse was built 100-feet, or 30-meters, in from the edge of the bluff.

This photo of the North Point lighthouse next to the bluff was dated 1890.

More on Lake Park in a moment.

The North Point Lighthouse was deactivated in 1994, and today is a maritime museum.

It is interesting to note that the North Point Water Tower is in the vicinity of the North Point Lighthouse.

The massive North Point Water Tower was said to have been constructed between 1873 and 1874 as part of Milwaukee’s first public waterworks in the Victorian Gothic-style.

We are told that the elaborate limestone masonry of the water tower was built to house the wrought-iron standpipe and to keep it from freezing.

There are points of similarity between historical water towers and lighthouses, like the massive Sulphur Springs Water Tower in Tampa, Florida, which looks like a lighthouse.

When it was operational, it was said to have stored 136,000 gallons of water pumped from an artesian well, with the water tank occupying the upper quarter of the tower, while 7-floors occupy its lower three-quarters, and somewhere in there was said to have an electric elevator as well going up to the top.

Said to have been constructed in 1927, the Sulphur Springs Water Tower provided artesian well-water to both businesses and residences in the immediate vicinity, and the City of Tampa was said to have forced the end of its water-piping operations in 1971.

The long-abandoned water tower in Tampa stands as a mute testimony to a history and technology that has been deliberately hidden from us.

Two Milwaukee parks were said to have been designed by the previously-mentioned celebrated landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.

Starting in 1892, Olmsted was credited with the design of Lake Park, the terrain of which included bluffs and ravines…

…and the grounds of which, besides the North Point Lighthouse, contain what is called the “Grand Stairway,” said to have been designed by Albert Clas and completed in 1908…

…and the “Lion Bridge,” so-named for Eight Stone Lions said to have been placed to guard each end of two bridges that cross the south ravine on either side of the North Point lighthouse.

Back in 1897, when the lion sculptures on the bridges were said to have been dedicated, a popular Sunday activity was for families to take the streetcar to the park for picnics and band concerts.

Milwaukee’s Juneau Park is the other park that Frederick Law Olmsted was credited with the design of.

Juneau Park is situated on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan and is a short walking distance to downtown Milwaukee, and named after the city’s first mayor, Solomon Juneau.

The Lake Front Depot and the railroad tracks can be seen in historic postcards of Juneau Park.

The Lake Front Depot was said to have been constructed between 1889 and 1890 by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway.

The Lake Front Depot was in use until 1966, and it was torn down two-years later, in April of 1968.

One thing I would like to mention is that the town of Menomonee Falls, a suburb of Milwaukee, has the same style of angular, man-made looking falls, that we saw back in the Ottawa lands of Petoskey on the other side of Lake Michigan.

We are told the Menominee Nation of Wisconsin, an Algonquin-speaking people, is the only one in Wisconsin whose origin-story says they have always lived in Wisconsin, and their ancestral lands also include the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

The Menominee Nation lost federal recognition in the 1960s, we are told due to a policy of assimilation, but they had federal recognition restored by an Act of Congress in 1972.

We are taught that the indigenous people of this land were uncivilized tribes of hunter-gatherers.

This is a painting by an artist named Paul Kane, who died in 1871, called “Fishing by Torchlight,” of the Menominee spearfishing at night by torchlight and canoe on the Fox River.

Yet we find architecture of heavy masonry like the Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater here in the city of Menomonie, Wisconsin, 237-miles, or 381-kilometers, to the northwest of Milwaukee, said to have been built in 1889…

…that looks like the acknowledged Moorish architecture of the Alhambra in Grenada, Spain, on the inside.

Not only that, this 8-pointed star symbol is found in the Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater.

I have found the same 8-pointed-star in diverse places all over the Earth.

On the top left, the 8-pointed star is found in a detail at the Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater; at the Gumti Memorial in Faisalabad, Pakistan in the top middle; and on a book cover about the First Anglo-Afghan War on the top right; and on the bottom left, at the Moorish Kiosk in Mexico City; and on the bottom right, above the chandelier at an abandoned Loew’s Theater on Canal Street in New York City.

The Great Exhibition of the Works of All Nations that was held in the Crystal Palace in London in 1851 was also known as “The Great Shalimar” a reference to the Mughal Garden complex in Lahore, Pakistan, where you see the same eight-pointed star and similar design-patterns in the Mughal Gardens on the left and on the Great Exhibition brochure on the right, also known as the “Crystal Palace Exhibition.”

There is an 8-pointed star visible in this graphic of the twelve Tribes of Israel as they correspond to the twelve constellations of the Zodiac.

I think the original ancient civilization of the Earth was worldwide, and existed up until relatively recently, at which time it was wiped off the face of the Earth through the deliberate destruction of the original energy grid by those seeking to establish a New World Order on the ruins of the Old World.

Everything we see was part of the same civilization with different empires within empires that were working together in peace, balance, and harmony and co-creating a beautiful and geometrically-precisely planned world, creating what is found on Earth in perfect alignment with the Heavens, and was not the war-like history we have always been taught to believe, and that those behind the New World Order agenda used the Moorish Science symbolism of the original civilization for its own agenda of creating discord, division and disharmony amongst the peoples of the Earth.

Since this is not in our historical narrative, we don’t even question what we are told about it being built by other cultures or civilizations. 

Islam in its original form is about applied Sacred Geometry and Universal Laws, and was nothing like the weaponized form of radical Islam we see today that is playing a divisive and destructive role in the world that is not in accordance with Humanity’s best interests.

Moorish Masons of the Ancient Ones were the Master Builders of Civilization, and their handiwork is all over the Earth, from ancient to modern.

All of their Moorish Science symbolism was taken over by other groups claiming to be them, falsely claiming their works, or piggy-backing on their legacy.

Or given a darker meaning by association with certain things that were not the original meaning. 

For example, this is the Great Seal of the Moors on the left and the symbol on the back of the U. S. one dollar bill on the right, showing how Moorish symbols were co-opted from the original meaning, and have come to have negative associations, like associating the pyramid with the eye on top of it with Big Brother, the New World Order, and the Illuminati.

What I call the “John Wayne” version of history was given to us from sources like Freemasonic Hollywood, including movie director Cecil B. DeMille, whose directorial debut in 1914 was a silent western film called “The Squaw Man…”

…and actors John Wayne, and Roy Rogers, to name a few of many.

As a result of all this, and much more, generations of children and adults have long-been programmed to believe that Hollywood westerns represent real history.

The Moors were the custodians of the Ancient Egyptian mysteries, according to George G. M. James in his book “Stolen Legacy…”

…and they are still here with us today.

Now I am going to leave Milwaukee and head up the western shore of Lake Michigan to Kohler-Andrae State Park and and the Sheboygan area.

First, Kohler-Andrae State Park are two adjacent Wisconsin State Parks, the Terry Andrae State Park, which was established in 1927; and the John Michael Kohler State Park, which was established in 1966.

The parks contain over 2-miles, or 3-kilometers, of sand dunes along Lake Michigan’s shoreline, with woods and wetlands away from the water.

The Black River flows through the parks.

The city of Sheboygan is near the parks, at the mouth of the Sheboygan River, which we are told is a natural river even though it looks like a canal.

Like we saw back in Waukegan on Lake Michigan in Illinois, there are Superfund sites here on the Sheboygan River as well.

The lower 14-miles, or 23-kilometers, have been designated an Area-of-Concern due to contamination from industrial waste.

Like other cities we have looked at so far on the shores of Lake Michigan, what became Sheboygan got its start as a lumbering community as its first major industry, of many industries to come at this location.

The Sheboygan Breakwater Lighthouse was said to have been constructed in 1915, and is still used as an active aid to navigation.

It’s not open for visitation inside, but you can walk out to where the lighthouse is located on the breakwater.

The three-masted, wooden schooner Lottie Cooper sank in the Sheboygan Harbor in April of 1894.

We are told that the Lottie Cooper was built in 1876 for the Truman Cooper Lumber – Flour Mill in Manitowoc.

We are told that on April 8th of 1894, the Lottie Cooper was carrying a cargo of elm wood from Pine Lake in Michigan to Sheboygan when she was caught in a howling northwest gale.

The ship eventually capsized and sank in Sheboygan Harbor, and the cargo was lost, though all but one of the 6-man crew were rescued.

A large portion of the shipwreck was recovered and put on display in the DeLand Waterfront Park in 1992.

The next places I want to take a look at as we go up the western coast of Lake Michigan from the Sheboygan-area are Manitowoc and Point Beach State Forest.

First, Manitowoc.

We’ve already seen Manitowoc in this post as the terminal of the SS Badger vehicle and ferry passenger service which goes back and forth across Lake Michigan in the summer months from Ludington on the other side, as well as one of the points of the Lake Michigan Triangle, along with Ludington and Benton Harbor in Michigan, a place with a reputation for ships, planes and people disappearing under mysterious circumstances.

The City of Manitowoc is located at the mouth of the Manitowoc River.

We are told the first Europeans in the area were fur traders from the North West Fur Company that we first saw back in Michilimackinac at the Straits of Mackinac.

They established a fur trading post in Manitowoc in 1795.

In our historical narrative, Manitowoc was chartered as a village in 1851, and became the Manitowoc County seat in 1853.

We are told the current Manitowoc Court house was built in 1906.

A significant ship-building industry took root in Manitowoc starting in 1847, starting with schooners and clippers for the Great Lakes and beyond the St. Lawrence River, and developing into landing craft, tankers and submarines during World War II.

There is a lighthouse on Manitowoc’s North Pier, referred to as the Manitowoc Breakwater Light, and was said to have been constructed in 1918.

Point Beach State Forest is just to the north of Manitowoc.

It is located along 6-miles or 9.7-kilometers, of the Lake Michigan shore, and has a beach and camping areas.

The state forest grounds contain what the National Natural Landmark called the “Point Beach Ridges,” a series of alternating dune ridges and swales.

Just to share an example of another National Natural Landmark that comes to mind with you is what are called “Monument Rocks,” also known as the “Chalk Pyramids,” in Kansas.

The amazing thing for a so-called National Natural Landmark are the solar and lunar alignments found at “Monument Rocks.”

The Point Beach State Forest grounds also contain the Rawley Point Lighthouse, said to have been constructed there in 1873, and is the tallest lighthouse on the Wisconsin shore of Lake Michigan.

The next place we come to going up the Wisconsin shore-line of Lake Michigan is Kewaunee.

In our historical narrative, the Kewaunee area was visited by the French Jesuit explorer Father Jacques Marquette in 1674, where he was said to have celebrated “All Saints Day” at the Potawatomi village there at the time, though this is in the traditional lands of the Menimonee people.

Later in 1679, the French explorer LaSalle visited there, and in 1698, the Canadian Jesuit Jean-Francois Buisson de Saint-Cosme stopped by.

We are told the United States acquired this land from the Menominee Nation in the 1831 Treaty of Washington, in which the Menominee ceded 2,500,000-acres, or 1,011,714-hectares, of their land in Wisconsin primarily adjacent to Lake Michigan.

Kewaunee became the seat of Kewaunee County at the time of its formation in 1852.

The present-day Kewaunee County Courthouse was said to have been built in 1873.

The current Kewaunee Pierhead Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1912.

An automated lighthouse since 1981, the light and foghorn are maintained by the U. S. Coast Guard, and the City of Kewaunee has owned the lighthouse since September of 2011 as part of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act.

We are heading into the landform known as the “Door Peninsula.”

Northern Kewaunee County is part of the Door Peninsula, as is northeastern Brown County, and the mainland portion of Door County.

The Door Peninsula separates Lake Michigan from the southern part of the Green Bay.

The Door Peninsula is on the western-side of the Niagara Escarpment.

The Niagara Escarpment runs predominantly east-to-west, from New York, through Ontario, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin, with a nice, half-circle shape, attached to a straight-line, when drawn on a map.

It gets its name and its fame from being the cliff where the Niagara River takes its plunge at the Niagara Falls in New York and Ontario.

Limestone outcroppings are visible on both sides of the Door Peninsula, but are larger and more prominent on the Green Bay-side, as seen at the Bayshore Blufflands State Natural Area, which contains more than 7-miles, or 11-kilometers, of the Niagara Escarpment.

Progressions of dunes are seen on much of the rest of the shoreline, as seen at the Whitefish Dunes State Park.

Whitefish Dunes State Park and Natural Area preserves the largest and most significant dune landscape in Wisconsin, and offers trails and picnic areas for visitors.

It is also heavily forested, with such trees as birch, fir, cedar, yew, maple, aspen, hemlock and beech.

Whitefish Dunes State Park also has a stone-masonry-looking shoreline.

Like Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula and Grand Traverse Bay area right across Lake Michigan, which not only have dunes like the Door Peninsula…

…the Door Peninsula is also well-known for its orchards, particularly cherry and apple, like we saw earlier on the Leelanau Peninsula.

It’s interesting to note that not only are these two places known for its orchards on the 45th Parallel North, there are other places known for orchards on it as well, like Barrie, Ontario, near Toronto, also known for apple and cherry orchards…

…and Maryhill brand peaches from Goldendale in Washington.

It is intersting to note that there is also a stonehenge in Maryhill, Washington, on the Columbia River across from Oregon, and both Goldendale and the Maryhill Stonehenge are near Mt. Hood.

The Maryhill Stonehenge was said to have been built as a memorial for World War I veterans by entrepreneur Sam Hill, and dedicated on July 4th of 1918.

I am going to take a look at Sturgeon Bay on the east side of the Door Peninsula before I head over to the Green Bay side of it.

Sturgeon Bay is the largest city of the Door Peninsula and a popular tourist destination.

In our historical narrative, this land was ceded to the United States in the previously-mentioned 1831 Treaty of Washington by the indigenous Menominee people, and was opened for new settlement, with the first community here starting around 1850, and by 1862, there were said to be three sawmills here.

In 1874, Sturgeon Bay was incorporated as a village, and as a city in 1883.

In the 19th-century, Sturgeon Bay became a center of stone quarrying, with five quarries shipping limestone throughout the region.

I strongly suspect that the stone quarries, here and elsewhere in the world, were harvesting megalithic stone blocks from existing infrastructure.

The Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal was said to have been built in the 1880s linking Sturgeon Bay to Lake Michigan, and that the new passage quickly attracted thousands of ships, making Sturgeon Bay a center for maritime traffic and ship-building.

Two lighthouses mark the entrance to the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal – the Sturgeon Bay Pierhead Light and the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Light.

There is also an active U. S. Coast Guard station here next to the Ship Canal Light.

The current Sturgeon Bay Pierhead Light was said to have been constructed here in 1903, though we are told there was one previously from 1882.

The Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Light was said to have been constructed in 1899.

The Sturgeon Bay Bascule Bridge connects upper and lower Door County, and was said to have been built in 1929 and first opened on July 4th of 1931, at which time the bridge was dedicated as a Door County Veterans’ Memorial, a similar story to the Maryhill Stonehenge, and this would all have taken place during the Great Depression.

Now I am going over to the city of Green Bay at the southern end of the Green Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan.

Green Bay is the largest bay in Lake Michigan.

The city of Green Bay is located at the mouth of the Fox River, another river that is called natural with stone masonry banks.

In our historical narrative, we are told that Jean Nicolet settled what is now Green Bay for New France in 1634 with the establishment of a fur trading post here.

Jean Nicolet had been commissioned by Samuel Champlain, the explorer and cartographer who founded New France starting in 1608 with founding Quebec City, to establish peaceful relations with the indigenous Menominee and Winnebago peoples of the region.

The Francis Xavier Jesuit Mission was established in the Green Bay area in De Pere in 1669 under the auspices of the Jesuit missionary and explorer of North America, Father Claude-Jean Allouez, who was behind setting up a number of Jesuit missions in the lands of the indigenous people of the Great Lakes region.

In our historical narrative, Great Britain took control of this area in 1761 during the Seven Years War, also known as the “French and Indian War.”

We are told after the British defeated the French in this war, France ceded its lands east of the Mississippi River to Great Britain.

The first permanent European settlers in the Green Bay area were said to be Charles de Langlade and his family, who moved there from Quebec in 1765.

Charles de Langlade, the son of a French-Canadian father and Ottawa mother, had set up a trading post here in 1745, and has been given the moniker of the “Founder and Father of Wisconsin.”

He was typically described as a fur trader and war chief.

The area was under British control until the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which formally ended the American Revolutionary War, and we are told that during the War of 1812, the United States built Fort Howard on the Fox River, along with Fort Crawford in Prairie du Chien, to protect the Fox-Wisconsin Waterway.

It is interesting to note that the Fox-Wisconsin Waterway is a lock, dam and canal system that was said to have been built in the mid-19th-century, and used for transportation until the coming of the railroad made it obsolete.

We are told use of the waterway was never substantial, and it slowly died out, and the lock system on the Lower Fox River between Lake Winnebago and Green Bay was closed in 1983 to prevent the upstream spread of invasive species like lamprey.

In our historical narrative, the Erie Canal was completed in 1825, linking New England with the Great Lakes, leading to Green Bay becoming a trading center, especially with the influx of settlers from New England coming into Wisconsin.

We are told that the construction of the canal started on July 4th of 1817, after the end of the War of 1812, and that it was built by engineers who had no experience in canal-building, and Irish laborers using picks and shovels because steam machinery was not yet available.

Interesting that the caption of this illustration reads “Process of Excavation, Lockport.”

The word excavation refers to the “act or process of digging, especially when something specific is being removed from the ground.”

Lockport is famous for the “Flight of Five Locks,” called one of the most iconic features and engineering feats of the Erie Canal.

Before Wisconsin became a state in 1848, its commerce was based on the fur trade, which was dominated by John Jacob Astor’s American Fur Company.

The German-born John Jacob Astor was the first prominent member of the Astor family and the first multi-millionaire in the United States.

He made his fortune after establishing a monopoly in the fur trade out West, and real estate investment in and around New York City.

After statehood, there was a shift away from fur trading and into lumbering, and the first paper mill was built here in 1865, was the same year the American Civil War ended.

Green Bay remains a major center for paper production, and the state of Wisconsin as a whole has more paper mills than any state in the United States.

Three railroads arrived in Green Bay in the 1860s – the Chicago and Northwestern; the Soo Line; and the Milwaukee Road, leading to further growth as a paper-manufacturing hub, with the paper industry becoming the city’s major employer.

The National Railroad Museum is in Ashwaubenon, a suburb of Green Bay.

It started out as a volunteer community effort in 1956 to preserve and interpret the nation’s railroad history, and in 1958, the U. S. Congress recognized it as the “National Railroad Museum.”

It has a collection of locomotives and rolling stock that spans over one-hundred-years of railroad history.

Next, here’s what I could find out about the historic lighthouses of Green Bay.

First, the remants of what is called the first Long Tail Lighthouse that was said to have been built in 1848, and was in use for only ten years, from 1849 to 1859, are still-standing.

Long Tail Point is a sandbar next to the channel near the city of Green Bay.

This 1867 survey map of the harbor around Green Bay shows the sand bars and mud there.

This is what we are told.

The Grassy Island Range Lights were said to have been constructed in 1872 to guide ships through the channel into the harbor.

This is a 1914 photo from the U. S. Coast Guard of them.

They were deactivated in 1966, and eventually moved to a breakwater at the edge of the Green Bay Yacht Club property where they can be found today.

The Green Bay Harbor Entrance Lighthouse is an off-shore lighthouse.

We are told it was erected in 1935 to signal the entrance to Green Bay, and was manned by the U. S. Coast Guard until it was automated in 1979.

We are getting closer to the end of our long trip to find out what is available to find along the shores of Lake Michigan.

I am going to finish this journey out by looking at the area around Peshtigo in Wisconsin; and then Manistique and St. Ignace in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at the other end of the Mackinac Bridge from Mackinac City at the top of the Lower Peninsula where we started our journey.

As we move northeast from the city of Green Bay up the northeastern shore-line of the Green Bay towards Peshtigo, we are clearly in Menominee country according to this historic map of the area on the left.

Interestingly, this Bird’s Eye View map of Peshtigo is dated September 1871.

This is noteworthy because as mentioned previously, the Peshtigo Fire was one of the Great Fires that took place on October 8th of 1871, along with the Chicago, Holland, and Manistee fires on Lake Michigan, and the Port Huron Fire in Michigan on Lake Huron.

Surprisingly or not, there is not a whole lot of specific information to find on-line about this fire, with this exception.

It was massive.

It burned somewhere around 1,500,000-acres, or 6,000-kilometers-squared, of land on both sides of Green Bay in northeastern Wisconsin and on up into Michigan, and was the deadliest wildfire in American History.

Though we are given the number of estimated deaths ranging between 600 to 2,500 people, there is no way of knowing the actual number, and we are told things like the unidentifiable remains of hundreds were buried in a mass grave at the Peshtigo Fire Cemetery but not much more than that.

The 1871 Peshtigo Fire consumed the lands of the Menominee people, and we haven’t been told the truth about their identity, or that of any of the indigenous people for that matter.

They weren’t hunter-gatherers.

They were Master Builders.

But we don’t know anything about that because we have all been indoctrinated in the John Wayne version of history and taught egregious lies instead of our true history.

The Peshtigo Reef Light is approximately 3.3-miles, or 5-kilometers, southeast of Peshtigo Point in Green Bay.

The lighthouse was said to have been constructed in 1936, and is still in service.

The Peshtigo Reef is known for being a significant hazard to navigation, with numerous strandings and shipwrecks.

Like the “City of Glasgow,” a wooden freighter for bulk cargo with a storied history in Green Bay that was stranded on Peshtigo Reef in November of 1907.

It was freed from the reef but ran aground a second time in the vicinity a few days later.

A fire broke-out on board the vessel, and it sank and blocked navigation in and out of the port of Green Bay.

With much effort, a towing and wrecking company managed to get it out of there, and it had further service until it sank for good in Sturgeon Bay in 1917.

On the way up to Manistique in Michigan, I want to mention the Au Train Whitefish channel, pointed at by the black arrow, and the Whitefish Fan, where the purple arrow is pointing.

I found a reference that indicated navigation charts since the 1920s have shown the existence of a large, submerged channel beginning in Little Bay de Noc and extends across the floor of Green Bay and around Washington Island.

What we are told is that the Au Train Whitefish Channel was a major drainageway for glacial lakes in the Superior Basin when the ice sheet was blocking the St. Mary’s River at Sault Ste. Marie, and today it remains a deep channel through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, dividing it in two.

But I was able to find a map and reference on-line about there being a proposed ship canal on land in Michigan historically between at Au Train Bay near Munising, and Escanaba at Little Bay de Noc, and even as recently as the 1980s looked into as a possible project for excavation but was rejected because of projected costs.

I found an explanation given for the continuation of the underwater channel that when Lake Michigan was in a low stage, the Au Train Whitefish River cut a deep channel in the basin of Lake Michigan, and built a delta known as the Whitefish Fan.

But what if it is actually submerged canal?

This is something we are not even given the option to consider in our current world narrative and scientific paradigm.

When I was looking at the bathymetry of this part of Lake Michigan, the Whitefish Fan is what caught my attention and why I wanted to look further into this.

The Whitefish Fan is a large fan that was discovered sometime around 1968 by Northern Michigan University Professor John Hughes that lies at the downslope end of the Whitefish Channel, and has a top depth range of 164- to 180-feet, or 50- to 55-meters.

Professor Hughes attributed the channel and fan to drainage, possibly catastrophic at times, of Lake Superior into Lake Michigan when western Lake Superior was open water and eastern Lake Superior filled with ice.

I was interested in the Whitefish Fan because of what I found when I was looking into the Arabian Basin when I was doing research for “History Reads Like a Book on the Earth’s Grid System – Part 2 The North Atlantic Ocean & the New England Seamounts to the Maldives in the Indian Ocean.”

It was when I was doing the research for this post in September of 2024 that I started looking under the water of places I was tracking on ley-lines and not just on land.

History Reads Like a Book on the Earth’s Grid System – Part 2 The North Atlantic Ocean & the New England Seamounts to the Maldives in the Indian Ocean

The Arabian Basin is to the North of the Maldives, an island Republic, and is located in the southern end of the Arabian Sea between the Arabian Peninsula and India.

It is an oceanic basin, which is defined as anywhere on Earth that is covered by seawater.

We are told that the floor of the Arabian Basin is covered by sediments from the Indus Submarine Fan.

Submarine Fans are described as accumulations of sediment deposits at the terminals of land-to-deep-sea sediment-routing systems.

In the case of the Indus Submarine Fan, we are told that sediments were deposited in an unconfined setting on the continental shelf, rise and basin floor covering much of the Arabian Sea, extending over an area 42,471-square-miles, or 110,000-kilometers-squared, and 5.5-miles, or 9-kilometers, from toe-of-slope.

It is interesting to note that the term of “Toe-of-Slope” is used to refer to the outermost margin of displaced material that marks the end of a landslide’s movement.

So the Indus Submarine Fan was being described in the same way that a landslide would be described.

Yet, the explanation we are given for its existence is that it was created by the erosion of the Karakoram and Western Himalayan mountain ranges that was estimated to have begun at the end of the Oligocene or beginning of the Miocene geologic epochs of geologic time, roughly 23-million-years-ago.

As I said earlier in this post, my working hypothesis is that the Earth’s original energy grid system was deliberately blown out by one or more forms of directed frequency or energy of some kind, causing the surface of the Earth to undulate and buckle, and creating the swamps, marshes, bogs, deserts, dunes, and places where the land sank and submerged under the bodies of water we see today, with sunken, broken land masses laying just beneath the surface of the water, and that I think those behind the cataclysm were shovel-ready to dig enough of the original infrastructure out of the ruined Earth so they could be used and civilization restarted, which I think started in earnest in the mid-to-late 1700s and early 1800s, and that the New World was built on top of the ruins of the Old World.

As mentioned earlier, the only allowable explanations we are given for what we see in today’s world are the modern scientific explanations of Ice Ages, plate tectonics and continental drifts occurring over millions of years of geologic time at the same rate as they have always occurred, and that’s it.

Any other possible explanation for what we see in our world is not even considered by the Academic Establishment.

I know there is a lot more to find here but I am going to finish up by looking first at Manistique then end this at St. Ignace.

First, Manistique.

Manistique is the county seat of Schoolcraft County, and its only incorporated city, which took place in 1901, after it had been incorporated as a village in 1883.

The 2020 census recorded the population as just under 3,000 people.

Manistique is situated at the mouth of the Manistique River on the Upper Peninsula on the North Shore of Lake Michigan.

We are told that the natural harbor here has been improved by breakwaters, dredging, and the East Breakwater Lighthouse.

The East Breakwater Lighthouse was said to have been constructed in 1916, and automated in 1969.

While it is still an active lighthouse, it was auctioned off in 2013 in a U. S. General Services Administration auction, and purchased by a private individual.

We are told the auction took place after efforts were made in 2012 under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000 to transfer ownership of the lighthouse to an eligible entity at no cost, but no such entity assumed ownership of the lighthouse.

The Manistique Boardwalk and Riverwalk leads to the lighthouse, and is almost 2-miles, or a little over 3-miles, long, starting from the eastern city limits, passing underneath the US Highway Route 2 bridge, and going through the downtown district, and along which there are jumbled up megalithic stone blocks to be found.

US Highway Route 2 is the northernmost East-West highway in the United States.

The western segment begins at an interchange with Interstate-5 in Everett, Washington, and ends at Interstate-75 in St. Ignace, Michigan.

The eastern segment of US-2 begins at US-11 at Rouses Point, New York, and ends in Houlton, Maine, at Interstate-95.

The western segment of US-2 goes west from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and roughly parallels the historical Great Northern Railway, which merged with three other railroads in 1970 to form the Burlington Northern Railroad, and in April of 1971, officially ended its independent passenger service, when Amtrak took over responsibility for most intercity passenger rail service.

Manistique has an historic water tower too.

The Manistique Water Tower Water tower and Pumping Station was said to have been built in a year, from June of 1921 to September of 1922 to replace the existing water pumping system which was no longer adequate, particularly for firefighting.

This pumping station was then only in use for 32-years, until 1954, when it was replaced by a new pumping station.

The elegant and massive masonry former pumping station now serves as the Schoolcraft County Museum.

The Manistique-area is home to the Indian Lake State Park and the Palms Book State Park.

The Indian Lake State Park is a recreational area for the public on 567-acres or 229-hectares of land.

There are two units of the park – one on the south shore of Indian Lake and the other on the west shore.

We are told that the land was acquired for the south shore of the park in 1932, and that President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration developed the South Shore site in the 1930’s during the Great Depression, which included a 40-foot by 80-foot, or 12-meter by 24-meter, limestone picnic shelter, a similar story to what we saw back at Orchard Beach State Park earlier in this post near Manistee on Lake Michigan.

I have long-believed that President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal work programs played a significant role in the historical reset and the cover-up of the ancient civilization.

New Deal Agencies like the CCC and WPA in particular were responsible for creating access and infrastructure for the park and recreation system around the country. 

So when people go to these places, they think what they see was created by the CCC & WPA workers. 

The Civilian Conservation Corps CCC operated from 1933 to 1942 in the U.S. for unemployed, unmarried men to do manual labor related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state, and local governments.

Originally for young men ages 18–25, it was eventually expanded to ages 17–28. 

In the nine-years of its operation, the CCC employed 3,000,000 young men, providing them with food, shelter and clothing, and a wage of $30/month, $25 of which had to be sent home to their families.

The Works Progress Administration, later renamed the Work Projects Administration, or WPA, was set up by Presidential order in May of 1935, and headed by Harry Hopkins, a trusted deputy to President Roosevelt who directed the New Deal Programs until he became Roosevelt’s Secretary of Commerce in 1938.

The WPA employed millions of jobseekers, said to have been mostly uneducated men, to carry-out public works projects, like constructing public buildings, parks and roads.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was the largest single project of the WPA, and was created by an Act of Congress in 1933. The TVA remains the largest regional planning agency of the U. S. Government.

The TVA Act of 1933 authorized the company to use eminent domain, the power of the state or federal government to take private property for public use while requiring just compensation to be given to the original owner, resulting in the displacement of an estimated 125,000 Tennessee Valley residents.

The TVA’s stated purpose was to provide navigation, flood control, electricity-generation, fertilizer manufacturing, regional planning, and economic development to the Tennessee Valley, a region that suffered from poverty and lack of infrastructure during the Great Depression.

The Public Works Administration was part of the New Deal, and was a large-scale public works construction agency headed by the Secretary of the Interior, Harold Ickes.

It was created by the 1933 National Industrial Recovery Act in response to the Great Depression, and built large-scale public works such as dams, bridges, airports, hospitals, and schools.

The PWA was described as spending billions of dollars contracting with private construction firms providing skilled labor and experience, in contrast with the WPA, which relied on unemployed, unskilled workers.

The Palms Book State Park in the Manistique-area is notable for having the “Kitch-iti-kipi” or “Big Spring” of the Upper Peninsula.

We are told the “Palm and Book Land Company” sold the land to the State of Michigan in 1926 for $10, with the arrangement calling for the land to be named after the company and a ban on camping.

Then in the 1930s, the CCC made park improvements that included the observation raft, dock and ranger’s quarters.

The state operates a manually-propelled observation raft that carries visitors onto the spring pond, where they can look down into the depths of the spring and see the spring-water continually welling upward through the limestone and sand at the bottom of the spring.

The spring is a pool of clear water that is 400-feet, or 120-meters, across and up to 40-feet, or 12-meters, deep.

Every minute, 10,000-gallons, or 40,000-liters, of water pass from the spring into the nearby Indian Lake.

Now heading we are heading into our final destination of St. Ignace.

The European history of St. Ignace began when Father Jacques Marquette founded the St. Ignace Mission here in 1671, and named it after the founder of the Jesuits, St. Ignatius of Loyola.

Father Jacques Marquette was said to have been buried in St. Ignace after his death in 1675.

This is the marker for his gravesite.

His gravesite is next to the former Jesuit Mission, which today houses the Museum of Ojibwe Culture in St. Ignace.

This was formerly land of Ojibwe, Ottawa, and Wyandotte, also known as Huron, peoples, and the Mackinac Band of the Chippewa and Ottawa Indians is headquartered in St. Ignace, which is state-recognized, meaning they are formally-recognized by the state, but do not have federal recognition, where they have a government-to-government relationship with the federal government.

One of the popular places to visit in St. Ignace is Castle Rock.

It is described as a limestone stack that rises 196-feet, or 59-meters, above Lake Huron, and we are told was created by the erosion of surrounding land from the melting of Ice Age glaciers after the Wisconsinan Glaciation, called the most recent glacial period of the North American ice-sheet complex that peaked more than 20,000-years ago.

It is three-miles north of St. Ignace on I-75.

Just a short-distance further up the road from Castle Rock is another limestone stack called “Rabbit’s Back.”

St. Anthony’s Rock is found in the town of St. Ignace, next to the Fort de Buade Museum.

St. Anthony’s Rock is yet another one of what is called a limestone seastack and tourist attraction in St. Ignace.

Fort de Buade was said to have been built by the French within a few years after the Jesuit Mission was established in St. Ignace, but several different years are given for when it would have been built, but according to the historical narrative, sometime between 1683 and 1690, and that this was a very active place not only as a staging area for French and Indian attacks against the Seneca, who were allies with the English, but also as a fur-trading center.

Fort De Buade was said to be in use only until about 1701.

The Straits State Park on the northern shores of the Straits of Mackinac is a popular camping spot.

It is also the location of the Father Marquette National Memorial, which was established in December of 1975 to pay tribute to his life and work.

The Father Marquette Museum building at the Memorial was destroyed by fire in March of 2000.

The main building today houses exhibits, and there is a fifteen-station interpretative trail.

St. Helena Island Lighthouse is an active lighthouse on St. Helena Island in the Straits of Mackinac to the west of St. Ignace.

It was said to have been constructed between 1872 and 1873 because of a dangerous shoal that extends from the island, and one of the many lighthouses on the reefs, shoals and hazardous points that we’ve already seen in the Straits of Mackinac and in places in the journey around Lake Michigan since we started this journey in Mackinaw City.

The Mystery Spot in St. Ignace is a place where gravity seems different.

The story about the mystery spot goes like this.

Three surveyors from California came to explore the Upper Peninsula in the 1950s and they stumbled across an area where their surveying equipment didn’t work properly.

For example, when they tried to use their plum-bob, it would be drawn to the east even though the level was reading level.

They also experienced different sensations, like feeling light-headed and queasy.

This was only in an area about 300-feet, or 91-meters, in diameter.

Today it is a popular tourist attraction with different activities to choose from.

The Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway was American railroad that served the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the Lake Superior shoreline of Wisconsin, providing service from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and St. Ignace, Michigan, westward through Marquette to Superior, Wisconsin, and Duluth, Minnesota.

The first of this railway line started operating in 1855; then came under the control of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1888; and was in operation all together from 1855 to 1960 as an independently-named subsiderary of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

What’s left of it was merged to the Soo Line in 1961.

Parts of the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway were converted to rail-trails, like the St. Ignace – Trout Lake Trail, which is 26-miles, or 42-kilometers, of multi-use recreational trail in its former railbed.

As we will continue to see in this series about all five of the Great Lakes in North America, I consistently find the infrastructure of lighthouses, as well as railroads, star forts, and all manner of the original infrastructure, like bridges, all being in locations with the same characteristics of wetlands, shallow water, and sunken lands, as well as deserts and dunes, all over the Earth.

Everything on Earth was in perfect alignment with the heavens and each other.

A good example of this is called “Manhattenhenge.”

This is an annual event during which the setting sun or the rising sun is aligned with the East-West street grid of Manhattan on dates evenly spaced around the summer solstice and winter solstice. 

There are similar alignments with the sun and street plan that occur in other major cities, like Toronto, Baltimore, Chicago, and Montreal. 

So, how could this have happened randomly like we are taught in our history classes?

Along these lines, I believe this solar alignment with the Mackinac Bridge was intentional, like with all the lighthouses we have seen in this post along Lake Michigan’s shores.

The White Shoal Lighthouse we saw earlier in this post is 20-miles, or 32-kilometers, to the west of the Mackinac Bridge, and interestingly, the placement of the lighthouse looks slightly offset with the alignment of the sunset behind it.

When you look at the relationship between the White Shoal Lighthouse and the Mackinac Bridge on Google Earth, it appears as though the slightly offset positioning of the lighthouse is oriented to the middle of the Mackinac Bridge.

I have a lot more from my research that I could add in support of what I am saying here, but I think this is a good place to end this deep dive on Lake Michigan.

In the third part of this series on North America’s Great Lakes, I am going to be taking an in-depth look at Lake Huron.

In this new series, I am going to be bringing forward research I have done in the past on the Great Lakes of North America, starting with Lake Superior, along with providing new research throughout the region as well.

The Great Lakes Region is a Canadian-American Region centered on the five Great Lakes of Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario.

In Canada, the region is comprised of Ontario, and in the United States, this region includes Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.

Before the arrival of western Europeans, this land was inhabited collectively by the Anishinabeg, or Anishinaabe, meaning something along the lines of “original people” in their Algonquin language.

When I searched for a map of where the Algonquin-speaking peoples lived in North America, and this is what comes up, with their lands covering a vast section of it.

While the Algonquin language has not died out completely in North America, it is already extinct in many places, and highly-endangered in general.

For one example of many, Mohegan-Pequot was an Algonquin-language spoken by the Mohegan, Pequot, and Niantic people of southern New England, and the Montaukett and Shinnecock of Long Island.

The last living speaker of Mohegan-Pequot died sometime around 1900.

We are told that historically Mohegan-Pequot did not have a writing system, and that the only significant writings came from European colonizers who interacted with speakers of the language.

There is something interesting to note about the Algonquin language.

It is extremely hard to find this kind of information because of the hunter-gatherer theme going on with indigenous peoples of North America in the narrative, but I found an example in the written language script of the Algonquin Mikmaq people of Nova Scotia, and it is that of an apparent connection to the Egyptian language script.

I believe Moorish Master Masons of the Advanced Ancient Civilization built all of the infrastructure that European colonizers subsequently took credit for, and that everything was part of a worldwide, integrated free energy grid system that was deliberately-destroyed to usher in the “New World Order” for total power and control over our world, and the highly-advanced, ancient Moorish-Atlantean civilization was erased from our collective memory, and replaced with a resource- and energy-harvesting system filled with pain and suffering.

The Moors were the custodians of the Ancient Egyptian mysteries, according to George G. M. James in his book “Stolen Legacy,” and they are still here with us today.

From what I am seeing, Freemasons gave us the history of the “Old West” in our new historical narrative.

So, I am going to take a quick look first at what I call the John Wayne version of history, that false historical narrative that we have been indoctrinated in from cradle-to-grave, and then move into providing what evidence is available to find in the Great Lakes region for the True History.

I am going to start by looking at the history of how we came to know about the “Wild West.”

The first thing that came along were western-themed dime novels that became available starting in 1860, which would have been right before the beginning of the American Civil War in our historical narrative.

The dime novels were written on pulp paper – from which the term “Pulp Fiction was derived – and contained pictures, and were introduced by the publishing house of Beadle and Company, operated primarily by brothers Irwin & Erastus Beadle, which provided a cheaper form of reading material than what existed previously, and were targeted towards young boys with stories about wild west adventures, and which were the largest demographic of dime novel western readers.

Erastus Beadle was listed as a member in this book about the Otsego Lodge No. 138 in Cooperstown, New York.

Next in our new timeline came the Old Wild West Shows, which were described as travelling vaudeville shows in the United States and Europe that took place between 1870 and 1920.

Vaudeville originated in France in the 19th-century, we are told, as a theatrical genre of variety entertainment, and became one of the most popular forms of entertainment in North America for several decades.

While not in every case, it was typically characterized by travelling companies touring through cities and towns.

Enter U. S. Army scout and guide William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody.

He became internationally known for his touring show, called “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West,” which travelled across the United States, Great Britain, and Continental Europe, which he founded in 1883.

All together, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show toured Europe eight times between 1887 and 1906.

In 1893, the name was changed to “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World” from horse-cultures the world over.

I even saw a book about him called “Presenting Buffalo Bill – the Man who Invented the Wild West.”

And was William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody a freemason?

I didn’t have to look far at all to find Buffalo Bill’s connection to freemasonry – it was right out there in the open!

The first commercially-successful western film is considered to be Edwin S. Porter’s silent western “The Great Train Robbery” which was filmed in New York and New Jersey for the “Edison Manufacturing Company, and first released Vaudeville houses in 1903, and it set the pattern for many more westerns to come.

The first silent western film was an unprecedented commercial success, and the close-up of the actor Justus Barnes emptying his gun directly into the camera became iconic in American Culture.

I was able to find out that famous inventor Thomas Edison was also a Freemason.

The first feature-length motion picture to be entirely filmed in Hollywood was Cecil B. DeMille’s 1914 directorial debut, a silent western film called “The Squaw Man.”

Movie director Cecil B. DeMille was a Freemason too…

…as were famous movie actors best- known for their western movies, John Wayne and Roy Rogers, and they were Shriners, an organization comprised of 32nd- and 33rd-degree freemasons, the highest degrees of western Scottish Rite freemasonry.

As a result of all this, and much more, generations of children and adults have long-been programmed to believe that Hollywood westerns represent real history.

So let’s see what is available to find out about all of this in the Great Lakes region of North America.

My starting point for this series is Lake Superior, the northernmost, westernmost, and the largest of the Great Lakes, and the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and the third-largest by volume, behind Lake Baikal in Siberia, and Lake Tanganyika in East Africa.

I am going to start my tour of this Great Lake at Thunder Bay on the northwestern shore of Lake Superior.

Thunder Bay is the seat of the Thunder Bay District in Ontario and is located at what is considered the head of Lake Superior. 

It was previously known by the names of Fort William and Port Arthur.

Fort William at the Kaministiquia River, and Grand Portage, which I will be talking about shortly, were the starting points for the canoe route from the Great Lakes to western Canada between 1671 and 1884.

This location had been marked on a 1671 Jesuit map as they were active in the Great Lakes region in what we are told about our history.

Approximately ten-years later, the French established their first fur trading post here, and were actively involved until they abandoned the area sometime around 1760 when the British conquered New France in our historical narrative.

Then between 1803 and 1821, the fur trade was re-established here as Fort William by the North West Company.

The North West Company was a fur-trading business headquartered in Montreal, from 1779 to 1821, at which time it was forced to merge under pressure from the British government with the Hudson’s Bay Company after new regulations governing the fur trade in British North America were passed.

The Hudson’s Bay Company is the oldest, incorporated, joint-stock merchandising company in the English-speaking world, having been chartered on May 2nd of 1670 by King Charles II on behalf of French traders who wanted to reach the interior of the North American continent via Hudson’s Bay, and British merchants and noblemen who wanted to back the venture.

The Hudson’s Bay Company was granted wide powers, including exclusive trading rights in the lands crossed by rivers flowing into Hudson Bay.

It is still in operation today as a Canadian retail business group operating department stores in several countries.

Then Hudson’s Bay Company merged with the original trading post located at Fort William, where it operated until 1884.

Today, Fort William Historical Park is an historical site located in Thunder Bay with what we are told was a reconstruction of the Fort William fur trade post as it existed in 1815.

It officially opened on July 3, 1973.

Historically there were solid masonry buildings here, like the Union Station in Fort William, which was said to have been built in the Beaux-Arts-style some time around 1910 or 1911 by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway as a passenger terminal and headquarters for the grain-handling facilities located here.

The building still stands today, though minus a couple of features that were present on the building in the earlier photo in the top center of it, as if the resetters wanted to remove antiquitech or something.

This practice was actually quite common with respect to old world buildings that are still here and not demolished as so many have been.

Thunder Bay is still an important railway hub for the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways.

Thunder Bay is located on the southern edge of the Canadian Shield, also known as the Laurentian Plateau.

It is called one of the world’s largest geologic continental shelves, of exposed precambrian igneous and high-grade metamorphic rock that forms the ancient geological core of North America. 

Here are some photos of what the Laurentian Shield looks like, with the presence of straight edges, angles, and flat and smooth stone surfaces.

In a southwesterly direction from Thunder Bay, we next come to Isle Royale in Lake Superior.

While geographically it is very close to Grand Portage in Minnesota, it is part of the State of Michigan.

It is the only national park in Michigan, and the only island national park in the United States.

Isle Royale was known for its ancient copper mines dating at least back to the Bronze Age, and is considered the purest copper in the world.

And our narrative can’t explain who was responsible for the mining, and how it got to Europe.

The best western Archeologists can come up with is that somehow Indians in loincloths figured out how to mine copper 5,000 years ago, and that somehow, we really don’t know how, it got to Bronze-Age Europe before there was transoceanic trade.

The Isle Royale has a lighthouse on the rocky shore of Menagerie Island, just offshore on the left; compared with the lighthouse on the rocky shore of Peggy’s Cove in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in the middle; and the the lighthouse on the rocky shore of Portland, Maine, on the right.

Next I am going to look at the location of Grand Portage in Minnesota on the northwest shore of Lake Superior.

Grand Portage is classified as an unorganized territory of Cook County, which includes both the unincorporated community of Grand Portage, and the Grand Portage Indian Reservation.

The previously-mentioned fur-trading business Northwest Company based out of Montreal was really interested in this location, as they built its inland headquarters at Grand Portage in 1785, and was active there until 1802 when they moved their base of operations to Fort William in Ontario some time after the area became part of the United States as a result of the signing of the 1794 Jay Treaty between Great Britain and the United States, which acknowledged American control of the area.

Grand Portage, along with Fort Niagara, Fort Detroit, and Mackinac Island in the Straits of Mackinac in Michigan, were the four main fur-trading centers of the British Empire in North America.

Like what we saw with the reconstructed Fort William back in Ontario, this is the reconstructed Great Hall of the British Northwest Company on the grounds of the Grand Portage National Monument.

Grand Portage Island is just a short distance off-shore from Grand Portage.

This is what its shoreline looks like on the left, compared on the right with the shoreline of Flinders Island, the largest island in the Furneaux Group, located in the Bass Strait of the Tasman Sea which separates Tasmania and Australia.

This is a picture of Hollow Rock Beach on Grand Portage Island in Lake Superior on the left, and Stacky’s Bight, also on Flinders Island in the Bass Strait of the Tasman Sea, on the right.

The Grand Portage State Forest is just a short distance southwest of Grand Portage.

Visitor attractions include the High Falls of the Pigeon River, the highest falls in Minnesota…

…which are said to be the reason for the Grand Portage, a nine-mile ancient trail to Lake Superior that circumvents this unnavigable stretch of the Pigeon River.

The historical site of Fort Charlotte is on the other end of the Grand Portage, and is also in the Grand Portage State Forest.

It was said to have been established by the British Northwest Company as an outpost of the Grand Portage for the fur trade.

The Pigeon River flows between Minnesota and Ontario.

This photo was taken of the Pigeon River in the International Border region between the United States and Canada.

Where we are looking at Grand Portage is in what is called the “Arrowhead Region of Minnesota.”

The region is often defined as the counties of northeastern Minnesota – Carlton, Cook, Lake and Saint Louis.

Resource extraction like logging and mining have been primary economic drivers of the Arrowhead Region throughout its history.

Moving further on down the northwestern shore of Lake Superior is Grand Marais, the county seat of Cook County, and its only city.

We are told that French Canadian Voyageurs, who transported furs by canoe in the 1700s, named the settled village “Grand Marais,” or “Great Marsh,” referring to a marsh back in those days that was 20-acres, or 8.1-hectares, in size, at the head of the bay and harbor that led to the settlement.

The Grand Marais Lighthouse is on the end of a breakwater on the shore of Lake Superior, and was said to have been first lit in 1922 and still operational.

The Grand Marais Lighthouse on the left was no exception to finding lunar alignments, as well as other types of astronomical alignments, at lighthouses in different places around the world, like the Pigeon Point Lighthouse in California’s Half Moon Bay; the Cape Neddick Lighthouse in York, Maine; and the Cape Byron Lighthouse in Australia’s Byron Bay.

More thoughts on this and other findings shortly.

The Naniboujou Lodge and Restaurant is 15-miles, or 24-kilometers, east of Grand Marais on the North Shore of Lake Superior.

It was said to have been designed by the Duluth architectural firm of Holstead and Sullivan with Art Deco and Cree design elements, and built as a private club for a group of Duluth businessmen of the “Nanijoubou Holding Company,” and that the club first opened for business in 1929, but that because of the Great Depression only the clubhouse was built and not the grandiose plans of many more amenities envisioned by the Duluth businessmen, as we are told the October 29th of 1929 stock market crash, also known to history as “Black Tuesday,” spelled disaster for the “Nanijoubou Holding Company.”

The private club aspect could not be saved and over the years was owned or operated by corporations, or private individuals and families.

The dining room of the Naniboujou Lodge includes a 200-ton fireplace made of native stone.

At 20-feet, or 6-meters, -high, it is the largest in the State of Minnesota.

The Naniboujou Lodge and Restaurant is located on the Minnesota State Highway 61, formerly known as the “North Shore Highway” and which is now known as the “North Shore Scenic Drive,” that runs northeast for 150-miles, or 242-kilometers, from its junction with I-35 in Duluth to its northeast terminus near Grand Portage at Ontario Highway 61 at the Pigeon River Bridge.

Until 1991 Minnesota State Highway 61 was part of United States Highway 61 from 1926 to 1991.

US-61 in southeastern and southcentral Minnesota basically runs alongside the Mississippi River from the Mississippi River Bridge where it enters Minnesota at La Crescent from La Crosse Wisconsin to I-35 at Wyoming, Minnesota.

It is considered the “Great River Road,” a collection of state and local roads that follow the course of the Mississippi River in ten states.

The full-length of US-61 runs for 1,400-miles, or 2,300-kilometers, from its southern terminus in New Orleans, Louisiana, to its northern terminus at Wyoming, Minnesota.

US-61 is also known as the “Blues Highway” because of its long history in Blues Music.

Like in Minnesota, the full US-61 also largely follows the course of the Mississippi River, and for much of its route is designated “the Great River Road.”

More thoughts to come shortly on our highways and road systems as well.

When I was doing some digging about the railroad history of Grand Marais on the North Shore of Lake Superior, this is what I was able to find out about it.

We are told that the Grand Marais and Northwestern Railroad between the Canadian border down the North Shore to Duluth was incorporated in 1913, and surveyed in 1914, but that the full rail-line was never built.

Grand Marais was the center of logging operations for the harvesting of forests in the area surrounding it.

The Manistique Railway line ran one round-trip/day for lumbering from 1893 to 1910, at which time all lumbering operations ended and the railroad was shut down.

This was an isolated town that could only be reached by lake or rail until 1910, and then only by lake until 1920 when the first road was established between Grand Marais and Seney.

I was able to find the most information about the “North Shore Scenic Railroad,” which is a heritage railroad that operates along a 28-mile, or 45-kilometer, stretch between Duluth and Two Harbors along the Lakefront Line, and from the information available to find on it, used to be part of the Duluth, Missabe, and Iron Range Railroad.

The “North Shore Scenic Railroad” operates out of what was formerly the Duluth Union Station, and now the “Lake Superior Railroad Museum.”

Interesting to note the slant of the road and sidewalk in front of this building; ground-level windows; and below-ground floors, which are all classic indicators for what is best-known as the mud-flood, and found all over the world.

…like these examples of Kars in Armenia on the left and Prescott in Arizona on the right, for just two of countless examples of what I am talking about.

The North Shore Scenic Railroad corridor travelled by the excursion train once was a vital link in the transportation system known as the Lakefront Line for over 100-years, and connected Duluth and the Iron Range Railway with America’s expanding rail network.

It was connected by a one-mile, or 1.6-kilometer, extension of the St. Paul and Duluth Railway in 1886, when the Lakefront Line was said to have first been built.

I think the information about the railroads, and the highways, is significant, and I will go into this more throughout this post as I believe that all the rail infrastructure was part of the original energy grid, and I believe the energy grid was deliberately destroyed, and that it’s destruction created everything we see in the world today that we are told is natural, including the Great Lakes.

I have red arrows pointing at some, but not all, of the historical railroad-lines going through here.

Next, I am going to take a look at the history of Duluth, which is considered a part of the Arrowhead Region, first from the perspective of the Merritt family and then a more general overview of some things found in Duluth’s history.

First, the Merritt family.

We are told the Merritt family came to the Minnesota Territory in 1855 and 1856 from Pennsylvania after the 1854 Treaty of LaPointe was signed in Wisconsin between the U. S. Government and representatives of the Ojibwe of Lake Superior and the Mississippi River.

As a result of this treaty, the Ojibwe ceded all of the Lake Superior Ojibwe lands in the Arrowhead Region of Northeastern Minnesota to the United States in exchange for reservations for the Lake Superior Ojibwe in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota.

Henry Mower Rice, who represents the State of Minnesota in the National Statuary Hall at the U. S. Capitol Building in Washington, DC, was involved in the 1854 Treaty of LaPointe, as well as the 1847 Treaty of Fond du Lac with the Ojibwe and the 1846 Winnebago Treaty, although there were many Land Cession Treaties that were recorded with the indigenous people of taking their land in return for reservations.

We are told that Rice was a fur trader with the Ojibwe and Winnebago who had gained a position of trust with them, and he later became a prominent Minnesota politician who was involved in Minnesota becoming a state.

At any rate, the Merritt family settled in Oneota, which is now West Duluth, where they ran a hotel, and the father, Lewis, worked as a lumberman and millwright.

Lewis also prospected for gold in what was called the Vermilion Lake Gold Rush of 1865 to 1866 in the Mesabi Mountain Ranges because gold specks were found in quartz stone there in 1865.

Like the other prospectors, he couldn’t find any gold, but someone gave him a piece of iron ore that caused him to speculate there was more of that to be found in northern Minnesota.

There are four iron ranges around Lake Superior in Minnesota and Ontario: the Vermilion; the Mesabi; the Gunflint; and the Cuyuna.

They are not classified as mountains, but as outcrops of sedimentary formations containing high-percentages of iron from the Precambrian-geologic era, which was four-to-six-billion-years ago to 541-million-years ago.

Lewis Merritt and his wife Hepziabeth had eight sons.

One of their sons, Leonidas, purchased land in the Mesabi Range in northern Minnesota after he surveyed and mapped the surrounding area for iron ore, and opened the Mountain Iron Mine in the early 1890s, which became the largest iron ore deposit ever discovered.

Leonidas was joined by 6 of his brothers, and what became known as the “Seven Iron Brothers” owned the largest iron mine in the world in the 1890s.

We are told that in 1891, the Merritt family incorporated the Duluth, Missabe, and Northern Railway Company to build a 70-mile, or 113-kilometer-long, railroad from the mine to the port at Superior, Wisconsin, which was just to the south of Duluth, raising the money needed in exchange for bonds from the railroad company.

Their success attracted the attention of John D. Rockefeller, who wanted to expand into the iron ore business, and the Merritts put their company stock up as collateral to borrow money from Rockefeller in order to fund the railroad.

Long story short, the Merritts ended up being financially ruined, and Rockefeller came to own both the mine and the railroad.

After Rockefeller assumed ownership in 1894, he leased his iron ore properties and the railroad to the Carnegie Steel Company in 1896.

John D. Rockefeller sold the railway to United States Steel in 1901, after it had been formed by the merger of the merger of Andrew Carnegie’s Carnegie Steel Company, Elbert Gary’s Federal Steel Company, and William Henry Moore’s National Steel Company in 1901, which was financed by J. P. Morgan.

 J. P. Morgan was an American financier and banker who dominated corporate finance on Wall Street throughout the period of time called the “Gilded Age,” between the years of 1870 and 1900.

He was a driving force behind the wave of industrial consolidation in the United States in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries.

Besides his involvement in the formation of the U. S. Steel Corporation, he was also behind the formation of General Electric and International Harvester, among many other mergers.

Other places around Duluth that I am going to mention here are the Enger Tower, which is an 80-foot, or 24-meter stone observation tower that has 5-stories, and was built on Enger Hill.

The tower was said to have been constructed as a tribute to businessman and philanthropist Bert Enger, a Norwegian-immigrant who came to Duluth in 1903 and set-up a furniture store with his business partner Emil Olson, which turned into a prosperous business over the years.

Enger donated a sizeable amount of his estate to the city of Duluth, which included Enger Hill, Enger Park, and Enger Golf Course.

The Ohara Peace Bell is found at Duluth’s Enger Park.

It is located in a Japanese Zen Garden in the park, and is a replica of a temple bell in Duluth’s Sister City of Ohara, Japan.

The story is that the city of Ohara donated the temple bell, which is now the oldest remaining bell in Ohara, to a wartime scrap drive during World War II, but the bell was never destroyed.

After the war, sailors on the USS Duluth found it, and gave it to the city of Duluth, where it was displayed in the City Hall.

A visiting academic from Ohara learned of the bell’s existence, and met with the Mayor of Duluth to ask for the bell’s return, which it was in 1954, and re-named the “Japan-U.S. Friendship Peace Bell.”

The current bell was dedicated in Duluth’s Enger Park in 1994, in the Japanese Peace Bell Garden.

There is a panoramic view from Enger Tower and Enger Hill of the Twin Ports of Duluth and Superior, including a great view of the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge.

A movable, lift-bridge, it spans the Duluth Ship Canal and Minnesota Point, and said to have been constructed between 1901 and 1905, and modified in 1929.

Both the Aerial Lift Bridge and Enger Tower are lit up at night, with different colors for different occasions and causes.

The Kitchee Gammi Club is located in Duluth, considered to be Duluth’s Premier Social Club.

It is the oldest incorporated club in Minnesota, having been founded in 1883, and originally met at Duluth’s Grand Opera House, which was said to have only stood for six years, from 1883 to 1889 – at which time a mysterious fire that began at Grasser’s Grocery store, got out of control and by the time it was put out, the Grand Opera House was in ruins.

The current Kitchee Gammi Club building was said to have been designed by prominent New York architect Bertram Goodhue, and built between 1911 and 1913, with a 1914 opening.

The architecture is said to be “Jacobean Revival Style,” for features like bay windows, rectangular windows, triangular gables, and high ceilings, with Jacobean architecture being named after King James I of England and James VI of Scotland whose reign it is associated with.

As a matter of fact, here is a comparison between the Kitchee Gammi Club in Duluth on the left, and the Castle Bromwich Hall in Birmingham, England, on the right, said to have been built between 1557 and 1585.

There are two possibilities here – the Kitchee Gammi Club House truly represents a revival of Jacobean Architecture, and was built when it was by who was said to have built it…or its not, and was already built, and I am inclined to believe it was already built by the original people of this land, as was everything else.

The name of the Kitchee Gammi Club is based on “Gitche Gumee,” the Ojibwe name for Lake Superior, and best known to the general public for being mentioned in the opening verse of in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, “The Song of Hiawatha…”

…and it was mentioned in the opening verse of Gordon Lightfoot’s song “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

The Great Lakes Region is infamous for its shipwrecks, with an estimated somewhere between 6,000 to 10,000 ships and somewhere around 30,000 lives lost.

The reasons given for the high number of shipwrecks are severe weather, heavy cargo and navigational challenges.

It is estimated that there are between 350 and 550 shipwrecks in Lake Superior, many of which are still undiscovered.

The bathymetry of Lake Superior, or the measurement of the depth of its water, shows its shallows around the edges ranging from 0 to around 100-meters, or 0- to around 328-feet, with an uneven lake-floor ranging in depth from 100-meters, to its deepest point at 406-meters, or 1,333-feet.

It’s average depth is 147-meters, or 483-feet, which is equivalent to 80.5 fathoms.

A fathom is defined as a unit of length in the imperial and U. S. Customary systems used in the measurement of the depth of water, and one fathom is equal to 1.8288-meters, or 6-feet.

I found this map, circa 1911, of the Duluth Street Railway Company.

I have circled the place where the Aerial Lift Bridge is marked on the map.

The Duluth Street Railway Company was said to have been incorporated in 1881, and that the first mule-pulled trolley cars were available for service in 1883…

…and that by 1892, the entire line was electrified.

The Highland Park Tramway Line served Duluth Heights via an Incline-Railway from 1892 to 1939, which was the last piece of the electric streetcar system to be dismantled, as the rest started going away in the early 1930s.

I also want to take a look at the Old Duluth Central High School.

Said to have been built starting in 1891 and opening for classes in 1892, the Old Central High School, nowadays used as school district office space, occupies a city block…

…and has a clock tower that is 210-feet, or 64-meters, high, that had five-bells added to the clock in 1895.

There was even a 17-foot, 6-ton cannon on the steps of the Old Central High School from 1898 to 1942, said to have been captured from a Spanish warship during the Spanish-American War, and requested by the Duluth City Council for Duluth, who had to pay for the transportation costs to get it to Duluth.

We are told the cannon was either sold or donated as scrap-iron, and was melted down and used during World War II.

Said to have been created in 1889 from several predecessor rail-lines in Minnesota, the Great Northern Railway’s route made it the northernmost transcontinental railroad in the United States, with lines to Duluth, and Superior in Wisconsin, on Lake Superior.

The Great Northern Railway was said to the be the creation of the 19th-Century Canadian-American railroad entrepreneur, James J Hill.

We are told James J. Hill was a railroad executive who came from an impoverished childhood.

In 1898, Hill purchased control of large parts of the Mesabi Iron Range in Minnesota and its rail lines.

The Great Northern Railway began large-scale shipment of iron ore to the Midwest’s steel mills.

I want to mention here some information I found out about when I was researching Jefferson Davis, who is one of the two historical figures representing the State of Mississippi in the National Statuary Hall at the U. S. Capitol Building in Washington, D. C.

Interesting to find him in there since he was the only President of the Confederate States during the American Civil War between 1861 and 1865.

Jefferson Davis became Secretary of War in President Franklin Pierce’s Administration in March of 1853.

We are told that as Secretary of War, Davis advocated for a transcontinental railroad was needed for national defense, and he was given the task of overseeing the Pacific Railroad Surveys to determine the best of four possible routes after the U. S. Congress appropriated $150,000 on March 3rd of 1853, and authorized Davis to find the most practical and economical route for a railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.

The Pacific Railroad Surveys, a series of explorations of the American West between 1853 and 1857 with the stated purpose of finding and documenting possible routes for a transcontinental railroad across North America.

There were five surveys conducted: the Northern Pacific Survey between the 47th-parallel north and the 49th-parallel north from St. Paul, Minnesota, to Puget Sound; the Central Pacific Survey between the 37th-parallel North and the 39th-parallel North from St. Louis, Missouri, to San Francisco, California; the Southern Pacific Survey along the 35th parallel north from Oklahoma to Los Angeles, California; the Southern Pacific Survey across Texas to San Diego, California; and along the Pacific Coast from San Diego, California, to Seattle, Washington.

All were carried out under the direction of Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, the future President of the Confederacy.

We are told the volumes of information that were produced from these surveys were considered to constitute the singlemost important contemporary source of knowledge on western geography and history, and that there value was greatly enhanced by beautifully-illustrated color plates showing the scenery, native inhabitants & fauna and flora of the West.

Let’s take a look at some of the definitions of survey.

Perhaps the most commonly used in our modern culture is the definition of survey which involves a brief interview with someone, for example, with a specific set of questions related to a particular topic to get their feedback.

Then there is the perspective of the definition of survey regarding civil engineering and the activities involved in the planning and execution of surveys gathering information related to all aspects of engineering projects, which is the definition implied in the driving force behind the Pacific Railroad Surveys.

But what about other definitions of survey that might be in play here?

Perhaps, more like some of the definitions shown here – a short descriptive summary; the act of looking or seeing or observing; considering in a comprehensive way; holding a review; and a detailed critical inspection, and not the kind of surveying for civil engineering projects seen in the previous slide as we have been led to believe through historical omission.

What if the Pacific Railroad Surveys were undertaken to explore a ruined landscape surveying, as in “looking at and observing,” everything, including pre-existing rail infrastructure in order to restore it to use once again?

Next, I am going to take a look at the city of Superior in Wisconsin.

Superior and Duluth are separated by St. Louis Bay, and together form the “Twin Ports” metropolitan area, and together are considered one of the larger ports in the United States.

Superior is located at the junction of US Highway Route 2 and US Highway Route 53.

Now a word about the United States Numbered Highway System, also known as the Federal Highway System, that we have already seen examples of come up in this post.

It was actually called an “integrated network of roads and highways numbered within a nationwide grid across the contiguous United States.”

It was first approved in 1926.

Drawn up in 1913, by the National Highway Association, the map was said to be the first proposed U. S. Highway Network map.

The red roads were delineated “Main” National Highways; the blue roads “Trunk” National Highways; and the yellow roads were “Link” National Highways to connect all the “Mains” and “Trunks.”

The Nation’s first Federal Highways would not be adopted until 1926, when the American Association of State Highway officials approved the first plans for the numbered highway system, with this section showing Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

I have blue arrows pointing to major cities that are the central point of at least five highways – Dallas, Texas; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee; Nashville, Tennessee; and Birmingham, Alabama.

You find the same kind of radial patterns around major cities in diverse places all over the earth, like in southern France…

…and Egypt’s Nile Delta, and all of these cities have rail infrastructure and are transportation hubs.

I think this finding is by design and not by chance, and all part of the original energy grid, like all of the original infrastructure, before the energy grid was intentionally destroyed and replaced by everything we see today, like the Highway and Interstate Systems.

So with the example of finding US Highway Route 2 in Superior, it consists of two segments.

The western segment begins at an interchange with Interstate-5 in Everett, Washington, and ends at Interstate-75 in St. Ignace, Michigan.

The eastern segment of US-2 begins at US-11 at Rouses Point, New York, and ends in Houlton, Maine, at Interstate-95.

US-2 is the northernmost East-West highway in the United States.

The United States Interstate Highway System is a network of controlled-access freeways with nationally-unified standards for construction and signage.

The western segment of US-2 goes west from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and roughly parallels the historical Great Northern Railway, which merged with three other railroads in 1970 to form the Burlington Northern Railroad, and in April of 1971, officially ended its independent passenger service, when Amtrak took over responsibility for most intercity passenger rail service.

In 1996, it became the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroad, or BNSF, after it merged with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.

The BNSF is primarily freight railroad, and among the top transporters of intermodal freight and bulk cargo including coal.

It does operate some commuter railroad service by hosting Amtrak inter-city passenger rail in four areas – portions of Chicago’s Metra; the Sounder between Everett and Seattle in Washington; the Northstar between Big Lake and Minneapolis, Minnesota; and the Metrolink between Riverside and San Bernadino, California.

Today’s commuter rail lines pale in comparison to the interurban lines of the past, with electric streetcars going from city-to-city, like the Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad , which extended from Spokane and Colfax in western Washington, into cities in northern and central Idaho, like Moscow at the junction of the north-south US Highway Route 95 and the east-west Idaho State Highway 8, and Moscow is the location of the University of Idaho.

The Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad Interurban line was folded into the Great Northern Railway in 1929, and as time went on, there was a conversion to bus service ending this interurban, electric rail service for all intents-and-purposes in 1936.

And this fate of the interurban electrified streetcar systems was repeated everywhere.

I even found what was called a “Frequency Changing Station” when I was looking into the Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad.  It was said to have been built for this railroad in 1908 to house electrical equipment used by the electric railway, and its power was generated at the Nine Mile Falls Dam and transmitted to the “Frequency Changing Station.”   There were four motor-generator sets at this location, and all together ten transformers – three that were 75-Kilowatt; three 375-kilowatt; and four 1,250-kilowatt – as well as a 550-volt, 275-cell storage battery.

Within the city of Spokane itself, the station provided direct current to the streetcar network.

In the network outside of Spokane, the station provided alternating current to the streetcar network through a series of electrical substations spaced about 15-miles, or 24-kilometers, on the operating line.

The substations converted power back to direct current for the streetcars, and sold power to the communites at 110 AC.

All of this electrical equipment was removed in 1939 when the railroad property was sold by its owner, and since then, the main building was repurposed storage for a boat dealership in the 1970s, and then the building was renovated starting in 1978, and was turned into condominium units, and the meaning and application of its former advanced technology has been forever lost to time.

Today several rails-to trails incorporate the Spokane and Inland Empire’s right-of-way, like the Spokane River Centennial Trail, which runs between Spokane and Coeur d’Alene in Idaho…

…and the Ben Burr Trail in Spokane.

Like what is typically-found with former rail-lines throughout the world, other parts of the original Great Northern Railway main-line have been turned into Rails-to-Trails recreational pedestrian and bicycle trails, which has been a common occurrence worldwide with former railroad tracks.

In Minnesota, the 4.3-mile, or 6.98-kilometer, Cedar Lake Trail for one example of many was built in the former railyards for the Great Northern Railway and the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway.

It was the first federally-funded, bicycle commuter trail in the United States.

Also in Minnesota, the 28.5-mile, or 42.9-kilometer, Dakota Rail-Trail was built on the former track-bed of the Hutchison Spur of the Great Northern Railway between Wayzala and Lester Prairie.

My question is why did they take out all of the former railroad infrastructure and replace it with recreational trails and highways to begin with?

I don’t think there was a good reason.

I think the reason has to do with the Controllers’ removal of the rail-lines that were original part of the energy grid when they were no longer needed for mining and/or their agenda.

They were instead turned into highway routes and recreational trails used for harvesting our energy for the benefit of a few from what was the original free-energy grid system for the benefit of all.

They also have been harvesting the original energy grid of its components, as well as all available natural resources, as we will continue to see throughout this Great Lakes Region.

The free-energy grid was destroyed, and the robber barons behind the creation of the New World Order, like John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, and the other big players we have seen so far, actively sought to bring on-line replacement sources for energy-generation and industry as quickly as possible.

I explored this subject in depth in my blog post “On the Trail of Giants, in Appalachia and Beyond – Theme 1: Robber Barons and Resetters.”

On the Trail of Giants, in Appalachia and Beyond – Theme 1: Robber Barons and Resetters

As mentioned previously, Superior in Wisconsin is located at the junction of US Highway Route 2 and US Highway Route 53.

US Highway Route 53 runs for 404-miles, or 650-kilometers, from LaCrosse in Wisconsin, to International Falls in Minnesota.

La Crosse is also where the previously-mentioned US Highway Route 61, which runs mostly along the Mississippi River from where it starts in New Orleans, enters the State of Minnesota across the Mississippi River Bridge at La Crescent, Minnesota.

It is the primary North-South route in northwestern Wisconsin, and serves as an important link between I-94 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and the Twin Ports of Superior and Duluth.

The northern terminus of US-53 is the Fort Frances-International Falls Bridge between Fort Frances, Ontario, and International Falls in Minnesota, and said to have been built in 1912 for the local paper company, Resolute Forest Products.

This same bridge is also the northern terminus of US-71, a major north-south highway route that is 1,500-miles, or 2,500-kilometers, -long that runs through the central United States starting at US-190 in Krotz Springs, Louisiana.

It was later owned by Boise Forest Products, and today is owned by a private partnership.

It is a toll bridge, in which people are “charged” to cross it.

In electrical terminology, the word “charged” is defined as a physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.

In addition to carrying road traffic, the bridge carries rail traffic of the Minnesota, Dakota and Western Railway.

Today, the Minnesota, Dakota and Western Railway is a short-line railway that runs along 4-miles, or 6-kilometers, of track between International Falls and Ranier, Minnesota, where it interchanges with the Canadian National Railroad, and currently serves the paper mills in International Falls.

It served the Fort Frances paper mill until its closure in 2014.

Superior in Wisconsin was the last port-of-call for the SS Edmund Fitzgerald.

It sank in a storm in Lake Superior on November 10th of 1975, and its 29-man crew perished.

It was the largest ship on the Great Lakes, and the largest to have sunk there.

It carried a variety of iron ore known as taconite from the mines near Duluth, to iron works in Great Lakes ports including Detroit and Toledo.

On the day the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank, it and one other ship that didn’t sink, the SS Arthur M. Anderson, were heading to Detroit when they encountered a severe storm on Lake Superior with hurricane-force winds and waves up to 35-feet, or 11-meters, high…

…when the SS Edmund Fitzgerald suddenly sank near Whitefish Bay.

As I already mentioned, the Great Lakes region is infamous for its extreme weather and shipwrecks.

I find it noteworthy that the Great Lakes region is very similar to other places that I have looked into that are known for the same kind of violent weather, shipwrecks, and have the same kind bathymetry that I shared previously ranging unevenly in-depth from shallow to quite deep.

Places like Cape Cod in Massachusetts, which is known as a “Graveyard of the Atlantic” due to the large number of shipwrecks that have occurred here because of its dangerous shallows.

Here is the map showing fourteen lighthouses on Cape Cod alone, as well as other lighthouses of this part of New England, on the left, as well as the historic Old Colony Railroad that traversed the length of the narrow Cape Cod.

Like Cape Cod in Massachusetts, the treacherous waters of the Outer Banks have also given it the nickname of “Graveyard of the Atlantic” because of the numerous shipwrecks that have occurred here because of its treacherous waters consisting of things like shallows, shifting sands, and strong currents.

The Bay of Biscay, a gulf of the northeast Atlantic Ocean along the western coast of France and northern coast of Spain, is notable for heavy storms with abnormally high waves, especially in the winter months.

The Bay of Biscay is notable for having a long history of shipwrecks, and is counted among the most dangerous waters on Earth.

The shelf running along the European continent at the Bay of Biscay is only 100-meters, or 328-feet, in depth, at its shallowest, which extends out quite a distance from the coast of France and well into the entrance of the English Channel.

And the Gulf of Lion in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of southern France, like these other places I’ve mentioned, has the Continental Shelf extending out for quite a distance, with the depths close to the shoreline being quite shallow, and the offshore underwater canyons slope rapidly to great depths to the floor of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Gulf of Lion is also known for its extreme weather, with sudden violent cold and blustery winds known as the Mistral and the Tramontane that threaten boats and ships, as seen here off the coast near the port city of Marseille.

The reason we are given for the extreme weather in our official narrative is climate change, which is linked to the United Nations 2016 Paris Climate Agreement, and to all of the goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

But I have come to believe the explanation for the extreme weather could very well be found in things like the presence of ruined and sunken land just underneath the surface of the water from the deliberate destruction of the energy grid.

Pyramids have long-been talked about at the bottom of Rock Lake, which is at Lake Mills in Wisconsin, about 28-miles, or 45-kilometers, east of the Madison, the State’s capital city.

…creating instability where weather is concerned, and/or perhaps generating their own weather systems in their respective regions.

Or perhaps the creation of extreme weather may have some external help.

I believe that the circuit board of the Earth’s original energy grid system was deliberately blown out by one or more forms of directed frequency or energy of some kind into different places on the Earth’s grid because there’s just so much devastation on the entire surface of the Earth, either at the same time, or different times within a finite period, causing the surface of the Earth to undulate and buckle.

What I am seeing from tracking leylines all over the Earth, looking from place-to-place at cities in alignment over long-distances, are the consistent presence of swamps, marshes, bogs, deserts, dunes, and places where it appears land masses to shear-off and submerge under the bodies of water we see today.

What I have found in the Great Lakes region is no exception to what I have found the world over.

I also believe that those behind the destruction of the energy grid ushered in the creation of a New World Order built on top of the ruins of the Old World, and that what we think of as modern infrastructure because that was what we have been told in the official narrative, was actually pre-existing infrastructure, including railways, canals, and lighthouses among the many examples available to choose from.

Not only that, but then these malevolent Controllers reverse-engineered the original energy grid system for the benefit of all life everywhere into what is commonly called the Matrix for power and control, as well as the harvesting of energy, or “inner chi” of all living beings, for the benefit of the very few.

I first found Menomonie in Wisconsin in February of 2019 tracking a long-distance Circle Alignment from and back to Algiers in Algeria.

We are told the Menominee Nation of Wisconsin, an Algonquin-speaking people, is the only one in Wisconsin whose origin-story says they have always lived in Wisconsin, and their ancestral lands also include the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

The Menominee Nation lost federal recognition in the 1960s, we are told due to a policy of assimilation, but they had federal recognition restored by an Act of Congress in 1972.

We are taught that the indigenous people of this land were uncivilized tribes of hunter-gatherers.

This is painting by an artist named Paul Kane, who died in 1871, called “Fishing by Torchlight,” of the Menominee spearfishing at night by torchlight and canoe on the Fox River.

Yet we find architecture of heavy masonry like the Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater here in Menomonie, Wisconsin, said to have been built in 1889…

…that looks like the acknowledged Moorish architecture of the Alhambra in Grenada, Spain, on the inside.

Not only that, this 8-pointed star symbol is found in the Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater.

I have found the same 8-pointed-star in diverse places all over the Earth.

On the top left, the 8-pointed star is found in a detail at the Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater in Menominee, Wisconsin; at the Gumti Memorial in Faisalabad, Pakistan in the top middle; and on a book cover about the First Anglo-Afghan War on the top right; and on the bottom left, at the Moorish Kiosk in Mexico City; and on the bottom right, above the chandelier at an abandoned Loew’s Theater on Canal Street in New York City.

The Great Exhibition of the Works of All Nations, held in the Crystal Palace in London in 1851 was also known as “The Great Shalimar” a reference to the Mughal Garden complex in Lahore, Pakistan, where you see the same eight-pointed star and similar design-patterns in the Mughal Gardens on the left and on the Great Exhibition brochure on the right, also known as the “Crystal Palace Exhibition.”

The Crystal Palace Exhibition was the first in a series of major World’s Fairs, Exhibitions and Expositions of “Culture and Industry” that took place primarily through the mid-19th-century to the mid-20th-century.

There is no doubt in my mind these mega-events of their day were actually showcasing the advanced technology and architectural wonders of the original civilization before being hidden away or forever destroyed, and not built when and by whom we are told in our historical narrative.

There is an 8-pointed star visible in this graphic of the twelve Tribes of Israel as they correspond to the twelve constellations of the Zodiac.

I think original ancient civilization of the Earth was worldwide, and everything was part of the same civilization with different empires within empires that were working together in peace, balance, and harmony and co-creating a beautiful and geometrically-precisely planned world, and was not the warlike history we have always been taught to believe, and that those behind the New World Order agenda used the Moorish Science symbolism of the original civilization for its own agenda of creating discord, division and disharmony amongst the peoples of the Earth.

Since this is not in our historical narrative, we don’t even question what we are told about it being built by other cultures or civilizations. 

Islam in its original form is about applied Sacred Geometry and Universal Laws, and was nothing like the weaponized form of radical Islam we see today that is playing a divisive and destructive role in the world today that is not in accordance with Humanity’s best interests.

Moorish Masons of the Ancient Ones were the Master Builders of Civilization, and their handiwork is all over the Earth, from ancient to modern….All of their Moorish Science symbolism was taken over by other groups claiming to be them, falsely claiming their works, or piggy-backing on their legacy. …Or given a darker meaning by association with certain things that were not the original meaning. 

For example, this is the Great Seal of the Moors on the left and the symbol on the back of the U. S. one dollar bill on the right, showing how Moorish symbols were co-opted from the original meaning, and have come to have negative associations, like associating the pyramid with the eye on top of it with Big Brother, the New World Order, and the Illuminati.

So back in Menomonie, there is the example of the clock-tower of Bowman Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Stout on the top left; the Union Station Clock Tower in Waterbury, Connecticut on the top right; the clock tower of the Palazzo Vecchio in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy, on the bottom left; and the tower of the Great Mosque of El Obeid in Sudan for comparison of similarity of appearance of many examples to choose from.

I also first found the Apostle Islands on the Bayfield Peninsula of Lake Superior in Wisconsin when I was tracking the same segment of the alignment from Algiers in 2019 on which found Menomonie.

The Bayfield Peninsula and Apostle Islands are to the east of Superior, Wisconsin, and accessible by Wisconsin Highway 13, which is a loop off of the previously mentioned US Highway Route 2.

Wisconsin-13 is part of the Lake Superior Circle Tour that runs along the southern coastline of Lake Superior from its two junctions with US-2 just to the southeast of Superior and at Ashland.

The city of Bayfield is billed as the “Gateway to the Apostle Islands,” and with a population of 584 in the 2020 Census, is the smallest city in Wisconsin.

Along with becoming a tourist destination, the economy of Bayfield is lumber and fishing.

We are told that in 1856, the same year a post office was established here, Bayfield was named after Henry Bayfield, a British Royal Topographic Engineer who explored the region between 1822 and 1823.

The Indian Residential School at Bayfield known as the “Holy Family Mission School” was established in 1879 by the Sisters of St. Mary Immaculate at the request of the Franciscan pastor of the Catholic Church there, including students from the Fond de Lac Chippewa and the Salteaux Ojibway.

The primary purpose of this and other so-called indian residential boarding schools was to remove indigenous children from their families, language, and culture.

The school operated until 1999.

The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on Lake Superior is comprised of twelve-miles, or 19-kilometers, of mainland shore and twenty-one islands.

It is described as having spectacular nature-carved rock formations, which just happen to have the appearance of stone masonry blocks…

…and eight lighthouses.

Like the astronomical lunar alignment I previously shared with the Grand Marais Lighthouse on the north shore of Lake Superior, along with lunar alignments with lighthouses in California, Maine, and Australia, I found astronomical alignments of the Milky Way with lighthouses of the Apostle Islands, like the Michigan Island Lighthouse…

…the Raspberry Island Lighthouse…

…the Devil’s Island Lighthouse…

…the Sand Island Lighthouse…

…and the Outer Island Lighthouse.

And here is a circa 1910 photo of the Outer Island Lighthouse right beside what looks like sheared-off land.

This is a common finding with lighthouses – sitting next to sheared-off, unstable land, and often have to be moved in order to not fall over the side.

An example that comes to mind of this is the Gay Head Lighthouse on Martha’s Vineyard, a small island that is an elite enclave of the very wealthy just off the southern coast of Massachusetts’ Cape Cod.

In 2015, the Gay Head Lighthouse was moved because it was perilously close to the eroding cliff edge.

With respect to finding the “Apostle Islands” on Lake Superior, it Immediately brought to mind a place off the shore of Port Campbell in the Victoria State of Australia called the “Twelve Apostles.”

Port Campbell is only 142-miles, or 229-kilometers from Melbourne.

The “Twelve Apostles” are described as a collection of limestone stacks referred to as “Port Campbell Limestone,” deposited there in the Miocene Age 15- to- 5-million years ago, and that the stacks were formed by erosion from waves and harsh weather conditions over time.

So clearly that is what they want to us to believe about their origins – all the result of natural geologic processes over time.

The “Twelve Apostles” are located in the traditional lands in south-western Victoria State of the Eastern Maar Peoples, a name adopted by a number of Victorian Aboriginal groups that identify as “Maar.”

A word looking and sounding very close to the word “Moor.”

If it’s hard to understand how whole groups of people could not know their true heritage, just like the indigenous peoples of the Americas, the original people of Australia were subjected to cultural genocide, among other forms of genocide, by the introduction of mission schools for its children, and reservations for its people.

Like the Mount Margaret Mission, which was established by missionaries from New South Wales, in Western Australia in 1921.

We are told that it was at places like Mission schools that the original people of the region were given a western education and learned about Christianity.

I think the experience of the original people in Australia and around the world was one of extreme brutality, inhumane treatment, trauma, and genocide that caused them to accept a new cultural identity since their old identity was stripped from them and claimed by the western European colonizers.

I am sure there was a lot more of this going on during the reset than we can even begin to fathom because we have all been lied to about our true history.

Back to the Twelve Apostles.

They are the main attraction found on the Great Ocean Road between Torquay and Port Fairy along the southern coast of Australia in Victoria State.

There are five lighthouses found all along the Great Ocean Road through here.

The Split Point Lighthouse at Airey’s Inlet was said to have been constructed in 1891, and which also aligns with the Milky Way, like what is found at the lighthouses of the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin.

This is the Cape Otway Lighthouse on the Victoria coast near the Twelve Apostles, said to be the oldest surviving lighthouse in Australia, and said to have been built in 1848 also has a nice alignment with the Milky Way.

The two lighthouses at Lady Bay come next, located in the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum in Warrnambool, and the Lady Bay Complex was originally built between 1858 and 1859, with something of a convoluted history of being moved from original locations and so forth.

Lastly on the Great Ocean Road, the Port Fairy Lighthouse on Griffiths Island was said to have been built in 1859, shown here with the sun coming up behind it in alignment.

Like everything else we have been told to explain what is in existence in our world, I don’t believe lighthouses were built to guide ships by whom they were said to have built them when they were said to have been built.

What I am seeing is that they ended up next to the edge of water when the land around them sank, and were repurposed into navigational aids in the New World to guide ships through the now broken landmasses in the surrounding waters.

I have come to believe “lighthouses” were literally “houses for light” for the purpose of precisely distributing light energy generated by this gigantic integrated system that existed all over the Earth that was in perfect alignment with everything on Earth and in heaven.

While we have always been given the explanation that lighthouses were constructed to guide ships through rocky shoals and dangerous waters, and railroads were built around the same time period in the 19th-century, what I am seeing is that these were places that were in perfect resonance within a perfectly-resonant system, and that when the energy grid system was directly attacked, it caused the entire system around it to go haywire, and the surrounding land sank, or turned into like swamps, bogs, barrens, or deserts and dunes.

I consistently find the infrastructure of railroads, lighthouses, star forts, and all manner of the original infrastructure, all being in locations with the same characteristics of wetlands, shallow water, and sunken lands, as well as deserts and dunes, all over the Earth.

I am not drawing these conclusions from a few examples, but of many that I have found in years of doing research, including a lot of work tracking cities and places in alignment all over the Earth.

Here is an example of the same sheared-off, unstable-eroded-looking landscape, as seen on this stretch of coastal road on the Pacific West Coast on the left, and the Aquinnah Cliffs on Martha’s Vineyard on the East Coast.

There is still an active Amtrak passenger railroad line, called the “Pacific Surfliner,” running along the Pacific Coast of the Southern California for 351-miles, or 565-kilometers, from San Diego to San Luis Obispo…

…and like the Gay Head Lighthouse on Martha’s Vineyard that I mentioned just a little bit ago in this post, is endangered by crumbling cliffs from coastal erosion, and we are told is under consideration for being moved in-land.

There are also lighthouses found along the coast of Southern California, like the Santa Barbara lighthouse in the top middle; the Point Vicente Lighthouse on the top right, both high atop cliffs next to the shore line; the Los Angeles Harbor Lighthouse on the bottom middle, as seen with a perfect solar alignment; and the Long Beach lighthouse with a lunar alignment on the bottom right.

Another example of a rail-line in an anomalous place is at the pink-colored Lake Burlinskoye in Siberia, where the rail-line still operates right through the water.

Does it make sense that this rail-line was actually built through water, or could possibly have been above water at one time and sank?

And the Salta-Antofagasta railway links Argentina and Chile through one of the driest places on Earth, the Atacama Desert across the Andes Mountains.

These are just a few of many examples of railroads in anomalous places, and there are many more rail-lines that have been abandoned or removed all over the world.

Next I am going to take a quick look at Ashland, Wisconsin, and see what comes up.

As I already mentioned, Ashland is located at the junction of US Highway Route 2 and Wisconsin 13.

It is the seat of Ashland County, with its city hall said to have been built in 1893 from locally-quarried brownstone.

We are told the Milwaukee, Lake Shore, and Western Railway platted the city of Ashland in 1885 as railroad construction moved to the west.

Also known as the “Lake Shore Road,” this railway connected Milwaukee, the Upper Peninsula and northwest Wisconsin, with a connection to Chicago.

The Wisconsin Central Railway Company also had a presence in Ashland having been created in 1897 from the bankruptcy reorganization of Wisconsin Central Railroad, which existed from 1871 to 1899.

The Wisconsin Central Railway Company was merged into the Soo Line Railroad in 1961.

More on “The Soo” to come shortly in this post.

The Wisconsin Central Railway had a massive ore dock in Ashland that was 1,800-feet, or 550-meters, in length.

The ore dock was demolished in 2009, unable to be saved by local preservationists.

When I do the Lake Michigan part of this series on the Great Lakes, I will talk more in-depth on what I found in Wisconsin and Minnesota when I tracked the Serpent Ley that was identified by gaiagrapher Peter Champoux (his website is geometryofplace.com) from the Bermuda Triangle to Lake Itasca in Minnesota

Suffice it to say for now that both Wisconsin and Minnesota are filled with marshes, wetlands, and lakes, like the previously referenced Rock Lake in Wisconsin long-reputed to have pyramid structures at the bottom of it.

There are almost 27,000 lakes between the two states.

Wisconsin is listed as having 15,074 and Minnesota having 11,842, with Wisconsin counting ponds as small as a half-acre, or .2-hectares, and Minnesota only counting lakes that are 10-acres, or 4-hectares, or more, and the high number of lakes from small to large quite noticeable throughout this region.

The next place I am going to take a look at after leaving Ashland on the southern shore of Lake Superior in Wisconsin is the Keweenaw Peninsula, which is part of the land mass of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

While the Minnesota/Ontario side of Lake Superior is known for the high-quality iron ore from its Iron Ranges, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is known for its high-quality copper.

Keweenaw is the northernmost county of the State of Michigan, and it shares the Keweenaw Peninsula with Houghton County.

The Keweenaw Peninsula is formed by the largest freshwaters on Earth…

…and, along with several other adjacent counties in the Upper Peninsula, is collectively called “Copper Country,” and in its hey-day, in the late 19th- and early-20th-century, it was the world’s greatest producer of copper.

The copper here is predominately what is known as native, or pure, copper form without the compound elements, like oxides and sulfides, that are found in other copper deposits.

There is a lift bridge in Houghton County, like the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge mentioned earlier in this post.

Known as the “Portage Canal Lift Bridge,” it connects the cities of Houghton and Hancock across Portage Lake, which is part of the waterway which cuts across the Keweenaw Peninsula with a canal linking the five-miles to Lake Superior to the northwest.

The steel swing, or vertical, bridge was said to have first been built in 1895 to replace a damaged wooden swing bridge that was built in that location in 1875, and that the current steel bridge replaced the previous steel bridge in 1959.

The Portage Canal Lift Bridge is on the only land-route across the waterway, which is U. S. Highway 41, that originates in Miami, Florida.

The Keweenaw Waterway is described as “part artificial and part natural,” and separates Copper Island from the mainland, in this case referring to Keweenaw County.

The building of the canal was said to have started in 1868, after the legislation authorizing the building of it passed in 1861, and completed in 1874…and widened in 1935.

Interesting to note the straight railroad track and canal running parallel to each other…

…which is a configuration I have seen in the past, at places like the Lehigh Canal and railroad tracks in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania…

…and at Point-of-Rocks in Maryland, near Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia.

Other places on the Keweenaw Peninsula include:

The Houghton County Courthouse, with the cornerstone said to have been laid on July 24th of 1886, and the new courthouse dedicated a little over a year to the day later, on July 28th of 1887.

So…built in a year…in Northern Michigan no less…

…a place where winters are cold, and spring and fall still tend to be on the cold and moist side.

Also, the Catholic Church in Lake Linden was said to have been built between 1901 and 1912.

There used to be a trolley line here between the cities of Calumet and Houghton…

…as well as many train stations, but all the tracks have been pulled up.

According to this map of the Houghton County Traction Company that operated the trolley line, there even was an “Electric Park” way up here!

It was a popular recreation destination, also known as a trolley park, between 1902 and 1932, which was when all operations of the Houghton County Traction Company ended, and the park disappeared completely from the scene by World War II, we are told, because of the cost of maintenance upkeep, etc, with the main pavilion sold, scrapped and reassembled as a potato barn.

Memories from Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood just popped into my head when I saw this here.

Though I am more from the Captain Kangaroo generation of young children’s television programming in the 1960s…

…I would watch Mr. Rogers on occasion with my younger brothers.

I wonder if there were hidden meanings, beyond a clever way to tell a story to young children, behind Trolley and the Neighborhood of Make-Believe in the long-running children’s show Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.

There is a lot more to find here, including the historical Fort Wilkins at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, said to have been established in 1844…

…sandwiched from east-to west between the beginning of Highway 41 marker…

…and Copper Harbor, also established in 1844…

…and from north-to-south between Copper Harbor Light House, said to have first been built in 1849, and then dismantled, and using the same stones as the first lighthouse, re-built and lit in 1866…

…and the long, skinny Lake Fanny Hooe.

There are a number of different women coming up as the subject in the tales of how the lake was named.

The slang meaning of “hooe-y” in English, having the same pronunciation with a silent “y” added at the end in the spelled form, is “nonsense.”

It is interesting to note that the only indication I could find that this might be a man-made lake in a search is this from the USGS website.

In the short distance between Lake Fanny Hooe and Lake Superior, I found the Fanny Hooe Creek Falls and the bridge on Highway 41 crossing the creek, said to have been built in the 1920s.

There are other waterfalls hereabouts, but there is one other I want to highlight, the Upper Montreal Falls on the Keweenaw Peninsula’s Montreal River.

These particular falls are not located far from Lac La Belle, which at one time…

…was a railroad depot, as shown in the map on the right.

Two things I have consistently found in my research are waterfalls of the same make and model in different places all over the world…

…and correlations in location between railroads and canals, like I showed previously in this post with the Portage Canal of the Keweenaw Waterway, as well as the additional correlation of star forts located nearby, which I have studied extensively in past research, like on this post from September of 2019 on the “Correlations Between the Physical Infrastructure of Railroads, Canals & Star Forts and Other Interesting Things.”

Correlations Between the Physical Infrastructure of Railroads, Canals & Star Forts and Other Interesting Things

Another place that I would like to mention about the Keweenaw Peninsula is the Keweenaw Rocket Range.

We are told it was used by NASA between 1964 to 1971 to send rockets into the atmosphere to collect information about electron density; solar x-rays; energetic electron precipitation; and other scientific measurements.

It is only 7-miles, or 11-kilometers, away from Copper Harbor at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, but takes an hour to get there because of the poor road condition.

One more interesting thing to note with respect to US Highway Route 41 while we are here at its northern Terminus at the top of the Keweenaw Peninsula.

When I said earlier that the Moors, Egyptians, Israelites, Moslems, and Masons were all one and the same, and their land and legacy stolen, I have found further circumstantial evidence to support this statement based on what I have found in past research that the same Tribes of Israel not only occupied the same continent in different places, they were also found on other continents, as I started coming across people who identified as lost tribes of Israel all over the world.

Like the Seminole Indians identifying as the Tribe of Reuben, and are considered to be a Native American people originally from Florida, most of whom were forced to the Oklahoma Indian Territory as well, with the exception of six reservations in South Florida.

While the most famous Miami of all is located at the southern tip of the east coast of the Florida peninsula, the starting point for Highway 41, and the traditional land of the Seminole, as we have already seen, this same Highway 41 goes all the way up to the very tip of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula on Lake Superior, and passes through the traditional lands of other Miami in Indiana, and near Ohio, along the way.

Interesting to note that I also found the original people of Australia identified as the Tribe of Reuben as well, with the same colors of black, red, and yellow in their flag as the Seminoles have in their seal.

Now I am going to look at the cities of Marquette and Munising on my way going eastward along the southern coast of Lake Superior on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

First Marquette.

Marquette is the largest city in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

It is a major port on Lake Superior known primarily for shipping iron ore from the Marquette Iron Range.

While the iron ore dock in Marquette’s lower harbor is still standing, unlike the one in Ashland, but has not been used as an ore dock since 1971.

I read about some plans to revitalize it and possible turn it into a public park.

Historical ore docks were typically long, high structures with railway tracks on the top, and pockets where ore was unloaded by gravity from the railcars.

Then each pocket had chutes with which to unload the ore into the hold of a cargo ship for transport.

By the 1890s, Michigan was the largest supplier of iron ore in the United States.

This is what we are told about the history of Marquette.

We are told it was named after Jacques Marquette, a French Jesuit explorer of the Great Lakes Region and Mississippi River Valley starting around 1668 to his death in 1675.

Then in 1844, the area started to be developed after iron deposits were found at Teal Lake west of Marquette.

Subsequently,the Jackson Mining Company was formed in 1845, the first organized mining company in the region.

Then in 1849, a second iron ore-related company was formed, the Marquette Iron Company, which marked the beginning of the Village of Marquette.

This iron company had failed by 1852, but in 1854, the Cleveland Iron Mining company flourished, and had the village platted.

The village was incorporated in 1859 and it was incorporated as a city in 1871.

We are told that in the 1850s, Marquette was linked by rail to numerous mines, and became the leading shipping center of the Upper Peninsula.

The Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway was American railroad that served the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the Lake Superior shoreline of Wisconsin, providing service from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and St. Ignace, Michigan, westward through Marquette to Superior, Wisconsin, and Duluth, Minnesota.

Branchlines of this railroad extended up the Keweenaw Peninsula to the cities of Houghton, Calumet, and Lake Linden.

The first of this railway line started operating in 1855; then came under the control of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1888; and was in operation all together from 1855 to 1960 as an independently-named subsiderary of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

What’s left of it was merged to the Soo Line in 1961.

Every winter, the region served by this railroad line annually receives a considerable amount of snow, with the Keweenaw Peninsula averaging 20.1-feet, or 6.1-meters, of snow, and was cited as one of the many reasons the railroad line was notorious for poor-quality service.

Parts of the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway were converted to rail-trails, like the St. Ignace – Trout Lake Trail, which is 26-miles, or 42-kilometers, of multi-use recreational trail in its former railbed.

The European history of St. Ignace began when Jacques Marquette founded the St. Ignace Mission here in 1671, and named it after the founder of the Jesuits, St. Ignatius of Loyola.

In our historical narrative, Pope Paul III issued a papal bull forming the Jesuit Order in 1540, under the leadership of Ignatius of Loyola, a Basque nobleman from the Pyrenees in Northern Spain.

The Jesuit Order included a special vow of obedience to the Pope in matters of mission direction and assignment.

Whoever the Jesuits and the Freemasons were are at the top of my list of suspects for who was primarily responsible for giving us our new, fabricated historical narrative.

Two years later, in the year of 1542, we are told Pope Paul III established the Holy Office, also known as the Inquisition and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

I will go more into a lot more detail about St. Ignace in the part of the series about Lake Huron, where it is located in the Upper Peninsula on the northern side of the Straits of Mackinac, but it shows up in this one a couple of times.

One more thing before I move on from the city of Marquette is that there are two lighthouses in Marquette.

One is the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse, located in the lower Marquette Harbor.

The Marquette Harbor Lighthouse was said to have been constructed in 1852 and first lit in 1853 after Congress approved funds in 1850 to build it to help with navigation to the ore docks.

The current structure was said to have been built starting in 1865, which was the same year the American Civil War ended in our narrative.

Like other lighthouses we have seen through this post, the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse also has an alignment with the Milky Way.

The other current lighthouse is the Presque Isle Harbor Breakwater Light in Marquette’s Upper Harbor.

We are told that between 1897 and 1902, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed a breakwater, and that in 1935, the Corps undertook another project to dredge the port and extend the breakwater.

In conjunction with this project, in 1938, the United States Lighthouse Service announced plans to place an automated lighthouse on the breakwater. Both projects were said to have been completed by 1941, which would have been during World War II.

Next I am going to take a look at Munising, Michigan.

Munising is best known as the western gateway to “Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.”

The “Pictured Rocks” are described as dramatic, multicolored cliffs with unusual sandstone formations.

Formations with names like “Miners Castle Rock…”

…and the Grand Portal Rock as seen in this lithograph from 1851…

…which mysteriously collapsed in the early 1900s, from the believed cause of erosion but no one really knows what might have caused it.

There are all manner of what are called natural archways all along the lakeshore, like the one called “Lovers Leap.”

Another unusual formation was named “Chapel Rock.”

The Grand Sable Dunes run along the northeast end of the Pictured Rocks Lakeshore for 6-miles, or 10-kilometers.

This is the view of them from what is called the “Log Slide Overview,” where in the 19th-century, loggers used them to slide logs from the top of the dunes to the shoreline so they could be transported out.

Other places located at this end of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore include Sable Falls, which flow 75-feet, or 23-meters, over what is called Munising and Jacobsville sandstone formations to Lake Superior.

The general area around Munising has many waterfalls.

Others waterfalls in the area include: Alger Falls; Horseshoe Falls; Memorial Falls; Munising Falls; Miners Falls; Scott Falls; Tannery Falls; and Wagner Falls.

The Au Sable Point Lighthouse is located in the area of the Grand Sable Dunes and Sable Falls, and it is nicknamed the “Beacon of the Shipwreck Coast.”

The lighthouse here was said to have been built between 1873 and 1874.

And yet another lighthouse with an alignment to the Milky Way.

There are a number of shipwrecks to be found around Au Sable Point, like the mingled remains of the Sitka, an iron ore ship that was stranded here in 1904 from high winds and fog, and the Gale Staples, a coal-carrying ship, was grounded here on a reef in 1918, having been driven off-course by high winds.

These are just two of numerous historic shipwrecks found here.

There are six lighthouses to be found around the city of Munising on the other end of the Pictured Lakes National Lakeshore from Au Sable Point.

These include:

The Grand Harbor Front and Rear Lights also known as the Bay Furnace Lights, and were said to have been established in 1867.

They are located on either-side of Michigan Highway 28 where it runs right next to the shore of the lake.

The Grand Island North Lighthouse is located on Grand Island, and part of Grand Island Township, and all part of the Grand Island National Recreation Area in the Hiawatha National Forest.

The Grand Island North Lighthouse was said to have been built in 1867.

Like with previously-shown examples, this lighthouse is situated right next to the edge of a cliff.

It is privately-owned in the present-day and was converted into a summer home.

The wooden Grand Island East Channel Lighthouse was first opened for service in 1868.

It was discontinued from service some time in the early 1900s, for the given reason of difficulty seeing it from Lake Superior and difficult maintenance, leading to the construction of the Front Range and Rear Range Lights in the western part of Munising, as there are what are described as several dangerous rock ledges that are serious navigational hazards in the East Channel.

The Munising Front Range Lighthouse is on the western edge of of Munising north of Michigan State Highway 28, and the Rear Range Lighthouse is on the other side of the highway, like is the case with the Grand Harbor Front and Rear Lights.

Michigan Highway 28 traverses nearly all of the Upper Peninsula from east-to-west, from Wakefield to Sault Ste. Marie, and along with US-2, form the primary highways linking the Upper Peninsula from end-to-end, and providing major access for traffic from Michigan and Canada along the southern shore of Lake Superior.

This is how Michigan Highway 28 is described.

Across the Upper Peninsula, Michigan Highway 28 passes through forested woodlands, bogs, swamps, urbanized areas, and along the Lake Superior shoreline along its course.

The “Seney Stretch” of Michigan State Highway 28 between Seney and Shingleton, a “straight-as-an-arrow” highway, goes across the “Great Manistique Swamp.”

The “Great Manistique Swamp” which is part of the Seney National Wildlife Refuge, which includes the Seney Wilderness Area and the “Strangmoor Bog National Natural Landmark.”

The “Strangmoor Bog” is classifed as a “sub-arctic patterned bog ecosystem,” and the best surviving example of one in the 48 contiguous states, and has things like parallel strips of dune and wetland.

We are told the road across the swamp was built parallel to the previously-mentioned “Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway.”

The “Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway” in-turn became what was called the “Soo Line.”

The Soo Line of today was named for the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad , and was formed by the consolidation of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway and the Wisconsin Central Railway.

When I was doing research back in June of 2023 for “Of Railroads and Waterfalls and other Physical Infrastructure of the Earth’s Grid System,” I found numerous examples of identical infrastructure and engineering from all across the United States of railroads and waterfalls in particular being connected to hydroelectric power in gorges and canyons with dams and reservoirs, and sophisticated, impossible-seeming, engineering feats that are totally integrated across vast distances.

How is this even possible according to the history we are taught?

https://piercingtheveilofillusion.com/2023/06/09/of-railroads-and-waterfalls-and-other-physical-infrastructure-of-the-earths-grid-system/

In the course of doing the research for this blog post, I was taken to Mackinaw City, Michigan, by following U. S. Highway 23, a major North – South U. S. Highway between Jacksonville, Florida, and Mackinaw City, Michigan at I-75.

Mackinaw City is just a short-distance south on I-75 from St. Ignace, the previously mentioned eastern terminus of the western segment of US-2 where it meets I-75.

The northern terminus of I-75 is Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, which I will be talking about shortly.

Mackinaw City is not far from the location of the Tahquamenon Falls State Park, where there are a series of waterfalls on the Tahquamenon River before it empties into Lake Superior in the northeastern part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the Tahquamenon Falls.

The Tahquamenon Falls are on Michigan State Highway 123, and are accessible from Michigan Highway 28.

I was able to find an historical rail presence at Tahquamenon Falls when I searched and what came up was the “Tahquamenon Falls Riverboat Tours & Toonerville Trolley.”

It is a 6 1/2-hour wilderness tour that starts at Soo Junction that includes a narrow-gauge train ride and riverboat cruise to the Falls.

I found this information about the Tahquamenon Falls and Toonerville Trolley because I was looking at the Tallulah Gorge and Falls in Georgia, which are also on US-23.

The Tallulah Gorge and Tallulah Falls in North Georgia are close to the South Carolina State Line.

A State Park since 1993, the major attractions of the park are the 1,000-foot, or 300-meter, deep Tallulah Gorge; the Tallulah River which runs through the gorge; and six major waterfalls known as the Tallulah Falls which cause the river to drop 500-feet, or 152-meters, over one-mile, or 1.6-kilometers.

This is what we are told.

In 1854, The General Assembly of the State of Georgia first enacted legislation for the construction of a railroad linking the towns of Athens and Clayton in North Georgia, and the railroad opened in sections starting in 1870, with construction of the railroad having been delayed with the outbreak of the Civil War between 1861 and 1865.

When the railroad arrived at Tallulah Falls in 1882, tourism to the area intensified, bringing thousands of people a week to the area.

At one time, there were seventeen restaurants and boarding houses here catering to wealthy tourists.

Places like the Tallulah Lodge, said to be the grandest lodge at Tallulah Falls with over 100-rooms and built in the 1890s, and located one-mile, or 1.6-kilometers, south of the depot on the rim of the gorge.

The Tallulah Lodge burned down in 1916.

There was an historical fire in Tallulah Falls in 1921 that wiped out almost the entire town.

The Cliff House boasted 50-rooms and was located on the edge of the gorge across the tracks from the train depot, and was said to have been built in 1882.

When it finally burned down in 1937, all the grand hotels and boarding houses were gone.

We are told that starting in 1909, the Georgia Railway and Power Company, had scouted the Tallulah River and Gorge with its drop in elevation as the ideal place to construct a dam and hydroelectric plant in order to provide electrical power to Atlanta, and that it ended up being one of six being constructed along a 26-mile, or 42-kilometer, stretch of the Tallulah and Tugaloo Rivers with a 1,200-foot, or 366-meter, drop in elevation, between 1913 and 1927.

The construction of the dam at Tallulah Falls was said to have started in 1910 with the purchase of land at the rim of the Tallulah Gorge, and completed in 1914 after the company won a legal battle to halt its activities in the Tallulah Gorge.

Here is a postcard with the Tallulah Falls Bridge on U. S. Highway 23/State Road 15 crossing right in front of the dam and the Lake Tallulah Reservoir.

The bridge was said to have been built between 1938 and 1939.

So now I am going to turn my attention to the binational region known collectively as “The Soo,” the nickname given to the Sault Stes. Marie of Michigan and Ontario which are located directly across from each other on the International Border of the St. Mary’s River.

The cities of Sault Ste. Marie was said to have been founded by the French Jesuit missionary, Father Jacques Marquette, in 1668. It was said to be named for both the “Sault,” the name given to the St. Mary’s River rapids, and the Virgin Mary, and called the first European city in the Great Lakes Region.

Sault Ste. Marie was one city until the border between the United States and Canada was established at the St. Mary’s River in a treaty after the War of 1812, creating Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie Ontario, and on both sides of the river, the area is referred to as the “The Sault” or even “The Soo.”

Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest city in Michigan, and said to be the third-oldest city in the United States.

The Soo Locks, the largest waterway traffic system on Earth, are called the “Linchpin of the Great Lakes,” allowing ships to travel between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes.

Lake Superior meets Lake Huron with a 21-foot, or 6-meter, drop in elevation.

The main course of the St. Mary’s River, starts at Whitefish Bay at the eastern end of Lake Superior, and flows 74.5-miles, or 119.9-kilometers, southeast around Sugar Island into Lake Huron.

At the River of History Museum in downtown Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, where we find out that St. Mary’s River is 8,000-years-old, and “born out of the trauma of this land as it buckled and ruptured, and gave way amidst thunderous sound and gigantic force – carved and formed by nature’s relentless sculptor – the glacier.

So, let’s take a look at what this violently-formed, nature-carved river looks like.

Before the St. Mary’s River even comes to the Lock Systems, from the direction of Lake Superior, this is what the shore-line looks like on the Ontario-side, with points and straight-edges…

…and even another canal going up into the city as pointed out by the arrows, with the last arrow showing where it looks like the canal was cut-off and drained.

There a couple of things I am going to focus on in this binational region called “The Soo.”

First, I am going to look at the Power Canal on the American-side.

The Edison Sault Electric Company Canal, also known as the Edison Sault Power Canal, supplies the St. Mary’s Falls Hydropower Plant, an 18-MW, with capacity up to 30-MW, hydroelectric generating plant.

Made from sandstone masonry, it was said to have been built under the supervision of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, starting in 1898, with operation starting in 1902, and is one of the oldest, continuously-operating power plants in North America.

Just want to point out the doors in the middle of the building, above ground level.

Seems to be an odd location for a full-size set of doors.

The water velocity of the power canal varies at times but can be up to 7-mph, or 11-kph, with the entrance being controlled by four steel headgates.

Next I am going to look at the canal locks on the American-side.

The Soo Locks are considered a wonder of engineering and human ingenuity.

They by-pass the rapids of St. Mary’s River.

The river drops 21-feet, or about 6.4-meters, over hard red sandstone in a short 3/4-mile, or 1.2-kilometer, stretch.

We are told the first locks were built here in 1855, and operated by the State of Michigan until transferred to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1881, who own, maintain, and operate the St. Mary’s Falls Canal, within which the locks are located.

In the South Canal, the smaller MacArthur Lock was said to have been built in 1942, which would have been during World War II, and the wider Poe Lock in 1896.

The two buildings seen here, the larger one beside the MacArthur Lock, and the smaller one beside the Poe lock…

… have all the same features of the heavy masonry that we have already seen, in places like Ashland in Wisconsin on the right.

In the North Canal, the Davis Lock, said to have been built in 1919, is used infrequently for light freighters, tour boats, and small craft when the traffic warrants, and the Sabin Lock, said to have been built in 1914, is no longer in use.

There are two hydroelectric powerhouses next to the Soo Locks, together generating 18.4-MW for the Soo Locks complex.

Next, the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge is highlighted by the red box in this graphic.

…between the United States and Canada, which permits vehicular traffic to pass over the locks.

As I already mentioned, Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan is the northern terminus of Interstate-75, which goes all the way to Miami, Florida.

The Sault Ste. Marie International Railroad bridge runs adjacent to the International Bridge, and was said to have been built in 1887.

Like the previously-seen Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge and Portage Canal Lift Bridge in the Keweenaw Peninsula, this bridge has a vertical lift bridge as well.

It also has swing bridge features as well.

Pretty sophisticated engineering technology for 1887!

So addition to these examples of the same kind of sophisticated engineering technology in building bridges found in other places include, but are far from limited to, these three bridges I found in rural Illinois.

The Joe Page Bridge in Hardin, Illnois, named after a local politician who lived between 1845 and 1938, is a vertical-lift bridge that links Greene and Calhoun Counties across the Illinois River.

Its lift-span is just a little over 308-feet, or 94-meters, -long, making it the longest span of this type in the world.

The bridge was said to have been built in 1931 by an “unknown” builder, though the State of Illinois Division of Highways is given credit for the engineering & design work.

The Joe Page Bridge is the southernmost of three vertical-lift bridges on the Illinois River used by Illinois Route 100, which makes up much of the Illinois River Road, a U. S. National Scenic By-way.

The Florence Bridge, which connects the town of Florence, Illinois, to Scott County, Illinois.

The population of Florence was 71 at the time of the 2000 Census, and Scott County is the fourth least-populated county in the State of Illinois.

The Florence Bridge was said to have first opened in 1929…

…and like the Joe Page Bridge is also listed as “Builder Unknown.”

The northernmost of the three vertical-lift bridges crossing the Illinois River is the Beardstown Bridge, located at Beardstown, Illinois, between Schuyler County, Illinois, and Beardstown.

The current bridge was said to have been built in 1955, and rehabilitated in 1985.

I can’t find out much information on the Beardstown Bridge either.

The next place we come to as we make our way across “The Soo” are the St. Mary’s Falls, of which the International boundary goes through the middle.

In the right foreground of this photo, in front of the International Bridges, is what are known as the Compensating Works.

They consist of 17 piers and concrete aprons bearing on sandstone bedrock.

Piers 1 – 9 are in Canada, and Piers 10 – 17 are in the United States.

These were said to have been constructed between 1913 and 1919 (with World War I occurring between 1914 and 1918), and have an extremely sophisticated sluice-gate and gate-machinery system.

The Sault Ste. Marie Canal is in Canada, on the other side of the St. Mary’s Falls and Compensating Works.

It is a National Historic Site, and part of the National Park System of Canada.

The date of a lock here is said to go back to 1798, with its destruction in 1814 in an attack by U. S. forces in the War of 1812, and what is here presently was said to have been constructed in 1895.

This illustration is said to depict the upper entrance to the Sault Ste. Marie canal in 1857.

Next we come to the Great Lakes Power Canal on the Ontario side of Sault Ste. Marie.

Great Lakes Power was established in the early 1900s by Francis H. Clergue.

Francis H. Clergue was an American businessman who became the leading industrialist of Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

In addition to Great Lakes Power, he was also credited with establishing lmany other industrial companies,including, but not limited to, the Sault Ste. Marie Pulp and Paper Company in 1895, as we will see going through this region.

I also found this interesting photo of the Pulp and Paper Mill.

What is it showing us?

A recently built canal and building as they want us to believe?

Or far older infrastructure, perhaps after a cataclysm?

We are told Francis Clergue was behind the establishment and construction of the Algoma Steel Factory, which is said to have first opened for steel production in 1902, at which time the factory was said to have produced its first rail-tracks when the first Bessemer Converter was put into operation using pig iron made from the Helen Mine, about which I will talk about shortly.

The massive blast furnaces for pig iron manufacture were not said to have been completed at the site until 1904.

This is incredibly high building and industrial technology and expertise for what we are taught we were capable of at the time.

Ford’s Model T wasn’t even in production yet ~ it entered the transportation scene in the fall of 1908.

It is interesting to note that we are told during this same time, Clergue’s financial operations suffered reverses and having to shutter operations in 1903, which led to the 1903 Consolidated Lake Superior Riot.

I want to mention this here because this kind of story is one example of many with all of the mining and manufacturing in the Great Lakes region, and more of this type of thing with respect to labor relations will be coming up in other parts of this series.

The Consolidated Lake Superior Riot took place from September 28th – 30th of 1903 as a result of lay-offs and unpaid wages.

The riot resulted in the injuries of four protestors and two police officers, and military forces were called in to end the riot – first the local militia, and shortly thereafter, the members of the Royal Canadian Regiment and Mounted Royal Dragoons, and from Toronto, members of the Queen’s Own Rifles, and 48th Highlanders.

Clergue was also credited with the development of the Algoma Central Railway, connecting it to the Transcontinental artery of Canada.

He was said to have initially owned it, and needed a way to transport logs from the Algoma District in northeastern Ontario for his pulp mill, and iron ore for the steel factory, and that it was chartered on August 11th, 1899.

It was said to have been completed to Hearst, Ontario in 1914.

Never made it all the way to Hudson Bay as was planned, we are told.

Here is a comparison with a railroad trestle bridge for the Algoma Central Railway on the left, and the one shown previously for the Tallulah Railroad at Tallulah Falls in the northeastern corner of Georgia on the right.

This is the Algoma Central & Hudson Bay Railway Terminal Station in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, said to have been built in 1912.

Other places we find in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, include:

The Algonquin Hotel, circa 1919, on the left, and the Algonquin Hotel today on the right.

…and the Old Post Office.

What is known to us as The Soo today appears to have been technological wonderland, and showcasing what I believe were technologies built by the original advanced Moorish Civilization and in place up until what we would consider relatively modern times.

I did an in-depth study of the region known as “The Soo” in September of 2019.

Sault Ste. Marie – A Microcosm of the Advanced & Global Moorish Civilization

The next place I am going to mention continuing up the shore of Lake Superior from “The Soo” is Lake Superior Provincial Park, one of the largest provincial parks in Ontario, covering 598-square-miles, or 1,550-square-kilometers.

Ontario Highway 17 crosses through the park, which is part of the Trans-Canada Highway, though at the time it was designated as a Provincial Park, there was not road access.

Highway 17 is the only highway linking the eastern and western parts of Canada.

The Ojibwe indigenous to the region were forced to cede their lands to the Canadian government under an 1850 Treaty in exchange for annuities and reservations.

We are told a large tract of land was signed over to the British Crown in 1850 as part of the Robinson Superior Treaty covering the North Shore of Lake Superior.

This was two days after the signing of the Robinson-Huron Treaties, which covered the northern eastern shores of Lake Huron, which also established annuities and reservations.

In both cases, the Crown pledged to pay an annuity to these First Nations people, originally set at $1.60 per treaty member, and it was last increased to $4 in 1874, where it is fixed to this day.

On the left is a photo of Katherine Cove at Lake Superior Provincial Park, compared for similarity of appearance with Lake Arcadia in Edmond, Oklahoma, in the middle, and the Gulf of Bothnia on the right, on the alignment earlier in this post, between Sweden and Finland.

The stone steps and walls pictured here are also at Lake Superior Provincial Park.

Not too far from the northern end of Lake Superior Provincial Park, and the Township of Wawa, there are numerous mining concerns, including gold…

…and historical mining for high-quality iron ore at the defunct Helen Mine and Magpie Mine.

Starting in 1900, the Helen Mine was owned and mined by Francis Clergue.

In our historical narrative, Clergue built a railroad from the Helen Mine to Michipicoten Harbor on Lake Superior, which was only 10-miles, or 16-kilometers, away from the mine.

It was here that we are told Clergue had ore docks built in Michipicoten Harbor which facilitated the transfer of the iron ore to the blast furnaces of steel mills.

Here’s a view of remnants of infrastructure in Michipicoten Harbor in the present day, left to rot in place, which was not an uncommon thing to do as we shall see in our journey throughout the Great Lakes region.

We are told that a lighthouse was built at the entrance to Michipicoten Harbor at Little Gros Cap and put into operation in 1902.

Interestingly for a “navigational aid,” the light was said to be not visible from the wharves of the harbor.

We are told that another large iron deposit was discovered north of the Helen Mine in 1909.

The land was purchased by the Algoma Steel Company, and the Magpie Mine was commercially developed, in production between 1914 and 1926.

Michipicoten Island is located in Lake Superior just off the coast of Ontario, between Sault Ste. Marie to the northwest and Wawa Township to the southwest.

The lands of Michipicoten Island, which include some smaller islands and shoals, are primarily preserved wilderness today, with a few human visitors in the form of owners of camps on a small number of private in-holdings; commercial fishermen and a commercial outpost camp.

The main island of Michipicoten is heavily forested, with over twenty lakes.

There are things like kayaking tour packages of the island available for those who are interested in visiting this remote island that has been called “An Island Lost to Time.”

If you visit the island, there are things to see there like old stone walls long-overgrown with trees…

…shipwrecks in shallow waters just off-shore…

…overgrown equipment left-over presumably from a copper-mining past because that’s the only explanation we have ever been given…

…and one remaining of three original lighthouses on Michipicoten Island.

The still-standing lighthouse is called the East End Lighthouse, which sits on top of rocky land right to the water’s edge, and which we are told was the third-one built sometime around 1912, the year it became operational at the beginning of navigation season in the warmer months of the year.

The other two historic lighthouses on Michipicoten Island were located in the island’s Quebec Harbor, which were a pair of range lighthouses like we saw back in Munising with the two pairs of lighthouses with a front light and a rear light.

There was a third lighthouse on the nearby Porphyry Island.

The construction of these last three lighthouses was said to have been authorized by the Canadian Parliament in 1872.

While there is still a lighthouse on Porphyry Point today, with this one said to have been constructed in 1960, it is not in use and has been vandalized over the years.

Like the East End Lighthouse, this one also sits on rocky land right next to the water’s edge, where you can see more rock going down below the surface of the water in this photo of it.

There are just a few more places to look at on Lake Superior western shoreline as we are coming to the end of the journey around Lake Superior’s entire shoreline, and they are Marathon; Rossport; the area around Nipigon and the Sleeping Giant in Thunder Bay.

The first place we come to towards the end of this journey around the lake is Marathon.

Marathon’s resource-based economy was built on pulp, until the company managing it, Marathon Pulp Inc, in operation since 1944, shut-down operations indefinitely in February of 2009, eliminating hundreds of jobs and negatively impacting the local economy.

The Marathon Pulp and Paper Mill was completely demolished by the end of 2015.

Since the mid-1980s, however, the Marathon economy expanded to include mining operations like gold-mining, with several gold-mining operations in operation here, and mining elsewhere in the region as there are a lot of mining concerns throughout this part of the world as mentioned throughout this post.

Marathon is a short-distance west of Trans-Canada Highway 17, and the town is served by among other things, the Canadian Pacific Railway, a geographically important airport, and 9-hole golf course.

The next place we come to is Rossport.

Rossport is a rural community today that was named after the construction manager for the Canadian Pacific Railway from August of 1882 to June of 1885, John Ross.

After the construction of the railroad was finished in 1885, Rossport became an important commercial fishing center, with a reputation for prime freshwater fish.

At one time in the 20th-century, Rossport was the location of an international fish derby, until the non-native species of lamprey eel arrived at the lake and caused the downfall of the fish derby.

In 1901, Rossport became a regular stop for steamships owned by Francis Clergue, along with other communities here, between Port Arthur, today’s Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie.

Lastly of note in Rossport before I move on, in 1911, the luxury steam-yacht “Gunilda” owned by oil baron William Harkness of Cleveland, sank on the McGarvey Shoal on the north side of Copper Island.

Harkness and his family and friends on-board were ultimately rescued, but the famous yacht of the day sank, and came to rest at 270-feet, or 82-meters, below the surface of the lake.

A shoal is defined as a place where a body of water is shallow, and where a ridge, bank or bar is close to the surface of the water, and poses a danger to navigation.

The next place I am going to look at in the location of Lake Superior is the area around Nipigon.

Nipigon is the northernmost community on the Great Lakes.

We are told that the Nipigon area was home to a succession of fur trading forts and posts during the time of European colonization, which started in 1665, and French explorers were said to have built several forts on Lake Nipigon shortly thereafter.

Then starting in 1785, the previously-seen fur trading companies in the region seen at the beginning of this post, the North West Company and the Hudson’s Bay Company, were said to have established fur trading posts/forts here, with the two companies merging together to become one big Hudson’s Bay Company in 1821.

We are told in the historical narrative that in 1859, the Hudson’s Bay Company set-up a trading post at the location of the current township of Red Rock, and built Fort Nipigon to as a transshipment point for cargo and to protect the trading post.

In 1882, Red Rock was the headquarters of the Company’s Michipicoten District, and in 1892, it was the headquarters of the Lake Superior District until 1902 when the trading post burned down, and the headquarters moved to Fort William, which was today’s Thunder Bay.

We are told the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks were completed across the North Shore of Lake Superior in 1885, and that starting around 1910, the Canadian Northern Railway was built through the town, and opened for passenger service in 1915.

By 2005, all railroad traffic on the Canadian Northern Railway through town had ended, and the rails were removed in 2010.

We are told the Nipigon River Bridge for the Trans-Canada Highway was built in 1937.

It is considered the most important bridge in Canada because it is the only crossing for east-west traffic in the region for the flow of goods, people, and trains between eastern and western Canada.

It carries both the Trans-Canada Highway, and both the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways.

In February of 2007, the mill for Nipigon’s main employer, Multiply Forest Products, burned to the ground less than a month after mill workers had purchased it from the previous company, Columbia Forest Products of Portland, Oregon.

The mill produced hardwood underlay for vinyls, plywood and laminate flooring.

With regards to the area surrounding Nipigon, I want to first look at Lake Nipigon on one side, and then end with a look at the Lake Superior Archipelago and the Sleeping Giant Provincial back in Thunder Bay as here we have come full-circle around Lake Superior.

Lake Nipigon has a total area of 1,872 square miles, or 4,848 square kilometers, including numerous islands.

One of the largest islands of Lake Nipigon is called Shakespeare Island, on the left side of this satellite image.

Here are some photos of what Shakespeare Island looks like up close.

And here’s a comparison between what is found at Shakespeare Island on the left; Bundabeh in New South Wales in Australia at low tide in the middle, and on the island Republic of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea on the right.

Next, the islands of the Lake Superior Archipelago on the other side of Nipigon, which includes St. Ignace Island.

St. Ignace Island is the second-largest island in Lake Superior after Isle Royale, and the 11th-largest lake-island in the world.

The Nipigon Strait separates St. Ignaice Island from the large Black Bay Peninsula.

St. Ignace Island has the highest point in Ontario, which is Ishpatina Ridge, at 2,274-feet, or 693-meters, in elevation.

I found reference to an historic lighthouse on Talbot Island in the vicinty of St. Ignace Island.

The lighthouse named for St. Ignace was said to have been completed in 1867, after having been contracted in 1866.

We are told that by the end of the navigation season in 1872 the decision had been made to discontinue the light because it wasn’t as valuable for the fisheries of the area as anticipated and because two lighthouse keepers had died trying to reach the mainland from the station.

Then in 1875, two lighthouses were said to have been contracted for either end of the entrance to Nipigon Bay, one on Lamb Island and the other on Battle Island.

This is a photo of the original lighthouse on Lamb Island from 1935 that was said to have become operational by 1876…

…and that in 1961, a forty-foot, or 12-meter, -tall skeletal tower replaced the original lighthouse.

There is still a lighthouse on Battle Island as well right next to the edge of a high rocky cliff on the water’s edge, like the others we have seen.

The one standing there today was said to have been built in 1911 to replace the one originally built around 1875 at the same time as the first Lamb Island Lighthouse.

Like St. Ignace in Michigan, we are told St. Ignace in Lake Superior was named after the founder of the Jesuit Order in the early French Jesuit exploration of the region.

I am going to end this post about Lake Superior where it began in Thunder Bay, at the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park.

The most visible feature of the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park is what is called the “Sleeping Giant,” described as a series of mesas that resemble a giant lying on its back when viewed from the west-to-northwest section of Thunder Bay.

In conclusion to the first-part of this series on the Great Lakes and Lake Superior, while I do think the land buckled and ruptured, I don’t think it was from the “glacier” as was stated in the River of History Museum in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, about the St. Mary’s River

Like I’ve been saying in this post, I believe that the landscape we see today all over the world was born out of the trauma and changes to the earth’s surface as it buckled and ruptured, and gave way amidst thunderous sound and gigantic force of the deliberate destruction of the original free energy grid that was for the benefit of all life everywhere, and subsequently transformed into what we know as the Matrix for the benefit of the very few behind the reset of the original earth’s history.

A small number of related, elitist family bloodlines, hidden in different nationalities and religions to carry out their plans for world domination, brought into existence a New World built upon the ruins of the Old World, and have stolen the legacy and identity of the original people and the true builders of all of the original infrastructure of the Earth; claimed their legacy as their own while at the same time, robbing us blind of resources, wealth, and energy without us knowing anything about it because they educated us a new history with them written in to it, and at the same time removed everything about the Old World from our collective awareness.

In the second-part of this series, I am going to be taking a close look at Lake Michigan, where we will be seeing more of exactly the same kinds of things as we have seen in the trip around Lake Superior, including but not limited to, places like the Indiana Dunes National and State Parks, and the adjacent Gary, Indiana, on the southern shore of Lake Michigan.

This is the third and last part of a three-part series in which I am looking at exactly what is found along an alignment between the Quetzelcoatl Pyramid at Teotihuacan in Mexico and the Great Pyramid of Giza in Cairo, Egypt.

My friend Aaron plotted the alignment between the two pyramids in these locations on Google Earth and forwarded me the alignment information to look at.

He decided to plot the alignment on Google Earth after watching this video “From Giza to Teotihuacan: The 6666 Nautical Mile Mystery” on the Ancient Explorer YouTube Channel.

In Part 1 of this series, I tracked the alignment from the Quetzelcoatl Pyramid in Teotihuacan as far as the port city of Tuxpan de Rodriguez Cano on the Gulf Coast.

Along the way, among many other findings, I found such things as  three airports; thirteen schools of all kinds; six agriculture-related locations; four telecom-related locations; five health-related locations; eight sports venues; one church-related locations; three government sites; and rail history.

I am sure there are more along these lines that I missed because of the Spanish-to-English translation.

In the second part of this series, I tracked the alignment from where it enters the United States in Panama City Beach in the Florida Panhandle to where it leaves it at Carova Beach, a small unincorporated community in North Carolina, in the northern Outer Banks just south of the Virginia State line.

In tracking the United States part of the alignment, some of the things I found from data points I counted along the way included: fifteen airports/airfields; five military-related installations, including Air Force bases; twenty-four schools of all kinds; seventeen agriculture-related locations, including both produce and animal breeding; one telecom-related location; three health-related locations; seven sports venues; ninety-five church-related locations; forty-seven cemeteries; three government sites; eight places with rail history; eighteen golf courses; ten plantations; and eleven shopping locations, including among others, Walmart; and eleven racing tracks or circuits.

I encountered the Savannah River Nuclear Site; the Chemours Fayetteville Works Plant; the Goldsboro B-52 nuclear weapon event; and a history of environmental contamination at these places and others along the way.

Also along the alignment, I encountered numerous estuaries, dunes, and swamps, on both coastal areas and inland locations.

My working hypothesis is that the Earth’s original free-energy grid system, which was pyramid-based, was deliberately destroyed, and subsequently intentionally-abused and misused, turned into instead the matrix of control we have been living under without realizing it.

In this last part of the series, I am going to explore this pyramid alignment from where it enters Europe in France near Bordeaux, and track it across bodies of water through France, Corsica, the toe of the boot of Italy and where it enters Egypt near Alexandria to the location of the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau.

I can already tell from the things I am seeing just from looking at the screenshots of the alignment Aaron sent me of this part of the leg on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean that I am going to find the same things that I found in Mexico and the United States.

This first screenshot shows an overview of the alignment where it goes through France.

I have marked places and features that I want to highlight here before I start drilling down into the specific places found along the alignment.

Before I go into the places highlighted by a yellow box on the Atlantic-side of the screenshot where the alignment enters France, I want to point out with red arrows the radial patterns of the roadways and major highways emanating from major cities of the region, like Bordeaux; Mont-de-Marsan, south of Bordeaux; and from there going in an easterly direction, Toulouse; Carcassone; Narbonne; Beziers; and Montpelier.

There are several points I would like to make around this particular finding of the radial patterns of the roadways here.

The first is that these same radial patterns are found around major cities in the United States…

…and Mexico, where the examples are of cities appearing at the junctions of two roadways, forming “x’s” in the landscape, instead of the star-shaped radial patterns appearing in the United States and in southern France, where more than two roadways come together in a distinct pattern.

The reason for this finding in Mexico could possibly be that the Highway system there does not have all the original infrastructure built out and in use in the way that it is in other countries…

…and it is still in the process of “modernizing” its highway system.

Let me first give you examples of what I believe these radial patterns represent from the United States, and I talked about this also in Part 2 of this series.

The city of Atlanta was a railway hub at the time of the Civil War, and is a highway hub today.

General Sherman’s “March to the Sea” campaign in the American Civil War, in which his forces were ordered to use a “scorched-earth” policy to destroy transportation hubs, included the burning of Atlanta in November of 1864 and ended with the capture of Savannah on December 21st of 1864.

Then in January of 1865, after the completion of the “March to the Sea,” General Sherman turned his attention northwards to the “Carolinas Campaign,” again destroying everything of value along the way.

Like Atlanta, Columbia in South Carolina was a transportation hub with regards to rail infrastructure, and a highway hub today.

Columbia, the state capital of South Carolina and an important political and supply center for the Confederacy, was said to have surrendered to General Sherman on February 17th, 1865, after the Battle of Rivers’ Bridge.

On the same day, the fires started, burning much of Columbia, though there is disagreement between historians regarding whether or not the fires on that day were accidental or intentional, but on the following day, General Sherman’s forces destroyed anything of military value, including railroad depots, warehouses, arsenals, and machine shops.

Almost two months after the burning of Columbia, the Burning of Richmond took place on April 2nd of 1865, the capital of Virginia and the Confederate States of America.

This is a lithograph depicting it by Currier & Ives.

In our historical narrative, the Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to the Union General Ulysses S. Grant days later, on April 9th of 1865, after his final defeat at the Battle of Appomattox Court House that same day.

As we just saw in Atlanta and Columbia, there’s a very similar configuration between the Petersburg Rail-lines of the Civil War-era, and the highways around Richmond and Petersburg today.

And where there have been toll roads in one form or another for a long time, where we are “charged” to use the highway route.

Since 1958, that section of I-95 has been known as the “Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike,” but there have been toll roads in the area since 1826.

I think these cities were hubs of the free-energy grid system and that likely the nexus-point where initially the railroad lines intersected, most of which were later replaced by the highway system, were possibly at one time giant tree locations or near giant tree locations.

The best example I know of this direct connection of the energy grid to giant trees is Pilot Mountain, in North Carolina as demonstrated by the incredible ley-line work of Peter Champoux, which is found on his website geometryofplace.com.

Peter shows Pilot Mountain in North Carolina is a hub for long-distance ley-lines on the home page of his website, looking like the cities we are seeing that serve as transportation hubs for multiple rail-lines and/or highways.

Pilot Mountain, near Mount Airy, is seen here centered on U. S.. Route 52.

Before it was called Pilot Mountain, it was known as Mount Ararat.

I looked into it and found the historic Ararat River with rail infrastructure running beside it on the top left, and today’s Ararat River Greenway Trail where the railroad used to be on the bottom right.

The Ararat River Greenway Trail is at the eastern edge of the city of Mount Airy.

There are some things about US-52 and Pilot Mountain I would like to point out.

U. S. Route 52 follows a northwest to southeast route across the country.

The northwestern terminus of U. S. Route 52 is in Portal, North Dakota, in the Bakken Oil Field Region and on the International Border with Canada at North Portal Saskatchewan.

On its southeasterly journey across the United States, US Route 52 passes through places like Indianapolis, Indiana, another large central hub of transportation routes.

…Pilot Mountain in North Carolina as previously mentioned…

…to the southeastern terminus of U. S. 52 in Charleston, South Carolina, at Number 2 Meeting Street and White Point Harbor at the Battery along the Charleston Harbor, not far from the place the American Civil War started at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor on April 12th of 1861.

Pilot Mountain is described as a “Quartzite Monadnock,” which translates to a “hard, metamorphic rock that was originally pure quartz sandstone that is an isolated rock hill, knob, ridge, or small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain.”

Here are some other examples of places classified as “Monadnocks.”

Besides Pilot Mountain on the top left, Harteigen in Norway is seen on the top right; Devil’s Tower in Wyoming on the bottom left; and Cooroora in Australia on the bottom right.

I think “Monadnock” is a word used to cover-up the existence of gigantic tree stumps.

In this comparison, we have the Devil’s Tower from another angle on the left; the Jugurtha Tableland in Tunisia in the middle; and the volcano in the middle of the city of Hammam Damt in Yemen looking very much like giant tree stumps!

In the region of France known as Auvergne, to the northeast of Bordeaux in central France, we are told there is a chain of approximately eighty extinct volcanoes that run from north to south near Clermont-Ferrand, the capital of the Auvergne Region.

Clermont-Ferrand ranks as one of the oldest cities of France.

The highest is called Puy de Dome, which is located 8-miles, or 13-kilometers, from the center of the city, and is pictured on the top left.

The summit can be reached by a cog railway train, which is a steep-grade railway and fitted with a toothed rack-rail and cog-wheels that mesh with the rack, and at the top of it there is an ancient Temple of Mercury; the Clermont Observatory of Terrestrial Physics; a French Television and Radio Transmission Antenna; and a tourist area.

Puy de Dome brought to mind in appearance what is called the Promontory of Quebec on the top right.

It is the location of Old Quebec and a city borough of Quebec City, and the famous Chateau Frontenac, a massive castle that was said to have been built as a hotel by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

It is accessible by the Old Quebec Funicular, which is an incline railway located next to the Chateau Frontenac that we are told started operating in 1879.

It also brought to mind Mount Washington in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the bottom left.

Mount Washington is a neighborhood in South Pittsburgh that is accessibly by what we are told are the two oldest, continuously-operating incline-railways in the world, out of what was originally seventeen on Mount Washington, named the Monongahela, which started operating 1870, the same year the Standard Oil Company was founded, and the Duquesne Incline, in 1877.

Similarly, Mt. Adams in Cincinnati has an historic neighborhood on top of its elevated height, and Mount Adams had one of Cincinnati’s five historic incline railways, none of which exist anymore.

Similar to cog-railways, incline railways, also known as funiculars, work like an obliquely-angled elevator, in which cables attached to a pulley-system raise-and-lower the cars along the grade.

Two cars are paired at opposite-ends and act as each other’s counterweight. As such, there is not a need for traction between the wheels and rails, and thereby allowing them to scale steep slopes, unlike traditional rail-cars.

Thing is, there used to be a lot more of them than there are now, and incline-railways were a worldwide thing.

I have found evidence of what are called volcanoes and volcanism all along the alignments I’ve tracked over the years, and like the ones I found out about in Central France in March of 2019 when I was tracking a long-distance alignment through there that started and ended in Algiers in Algeria.

I found the same thing in Part 1 of this alignment in Mexico.

I have circled some places from Part 1 of this series that I am wondering what we are looking at there, and one of the places I have circled is the town of San Luis Tecuautitlan.

San Luis Tecuautitlan is located in altitude at 2,450-meters, or 8,038-feet on Cerro Gordo-Tonantépetl.

Cerro Gordo means “Fat Hill” and is an inactive volcano.

It also has a giant tree stump-looking appearance.

Mexico Federal Highway 132 connects Ecatepec de Morelos and Tulancingo shown in this map.

I found this map when I typed in “San Luis Tecuautitlan” to look for information on it.

It was in a link about the magnetic declination there.

“Magnetic Declination,’ also known as “Magnetic Variation,” is the angle between true north and magnetic north at a specific location on Earth.

This is important because it is needed to determine true north and affects the accuracy of navigational tools for aircraft.

This finding is one of the many reasons that I think the giant trees were an integral component to the Earth’s magnetic field, among many other things.

At this point in my research I think it is highly likely that ancient giant trees and the root system emanating from them were also an integral part of the Earth’s energy grid and leyline system.

The original rail-lines and canals would have been providing power for the free-energy system, and the original architecture and infrastructure would have provided the antiquitech to process and utilize the free energy throughout the worldwide system.

The Earth’s original free-energy grid system was based on exact and precise geometric alignments of cities and places.

The Controllers have worked very hard not only to remove gigantic trees from our awareness, but they have also removed the Earth’s grid system from our collective awareness, and I am sharing the supporting evidence I have been finding in the course of my research over the years that supports the existence of giant trees, and that their “roots,” became today’s highway “routes” and recreational trails.

So in this example, in the top left-hand corner, I have a Mexican Railway map circa 1912 and in the bottom right-hand corner, the map I just showed of Mexican Federal Route 132 for comparison of the locations highlighted in the blue box, between San Luis Tecuautitlan, Huauchinango and Pachuca.

It is hard to find an exact match, but the comparison shows that there were historic railroad lines in the same geographic area.

There are other volcanoes in the vicinity of Teotihuacan, like the active stratovolcano Popocatepetl, and which are part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, also known as the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Mexico.

I believe that the deliberate destruction of this energy grid system caused incredible destruction to the surface of the Earth, and the destruction of the ancient giant trees created what we see as volcanoes, and we know nothing about the giant trees because they no longer look like trees and we have been told nothing about their existence.

From what I have been finding in my research, I think there are at least two categories of giant trees in our world, ones that have been terraformed by the Master Builders of the energy grid system, like the examples I have shared like the places in cities with architecture and rail infrastructure on them; and I think there were giant trees all over the Earth that had their tops blown-off that we know as volcanoes, like Popocatepetl in Mexico.

This cataclysmic event involving the destruction of the Earth’s original energy grid caused the land to undulate and buckle, causing among other things, swamps, bogs, deserts, dunes, and whole land masses to shear-off and submerge under seas and oceans.

I have come to believe that the circuit board of the Earth’s grid system was deliberately blown 0ut by one or more forms of directed frequency or energy of some kind into different places on the Earth’s grid, either at the same time, or different times within a finite period, because there’s just so much devastation on the entire surface of the Earth.

I also believe that those behind the destruction of the energy grid ushered in the creation of a New World Order built on top of the ruins of the Old World, and that what we think of as modern infrastructure because that was what we have been told in the official narrative, was actually pre-existing infrastructure, including railways, canals, and airports among the many examples available to choose from.

Not only that, but then these malevolent Controllers reverse-engineered the original pyramid-based energy grid system for the benefit of all life everywhere into what is commonly called the Matrix for power and control, as well as the harvesting of energy, or “inner chi” of all living beings, for the benefit of the very few.

Next, I would like to take a closer look at the places and areas I have highlighted in France by the yellow boxes before I drill down into the specific places found along the alignment – the Medoc Regional Natural Park; Arcachon and Arcachon Bay; and the Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park.

First, the top yellow box on the left-side of the screenshot is highlighting the “Parc Naturel Regional Medoc,” or “Medoc Regional Natural Park” in the Gironde Department of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, and described as “dunes, marshes, ponds, lakes, lagoons, and forests.”

It is bordered to the East by the Gironde Estuary and to the west by the Bay of Biscay, a gulf of the northeast Atlantic Ocean.

More on the Gironde Estuary and Bay of Biscay shortly.

The Medoc Regional Natural Park extends from the gates of the Bordeaux Metropole…

…to the Pointe-de-Grave, the northernmost tip of the Medoc Peninsula, which has historic lighthouses, star forts, and a railroad line along the eastern edge along to Bordeaux. there are historic lighthouses still standing around the edges of the peninsula, which are called “Phares” in French.

The Grave Lighthouse is located directly on the Pointe de Grave, and is a museum today.

The Grave Lighthouse on the Pointe-de-Grave is located close to the Pointe-de-Grave Train station and Fort du Verdon,

The French National Route 215 on the left closely approximates the route of the railroad line between La Pointe de Grave and Bordeaux across the Medoc Peninsula between those two places.

The Cordouan Lighthouse is located 4-miles, or 7-kilometers, out into the open sea, located at the mouth of the Gironde Estuary, and was said to have been built between 1594 and 1611.

It is the only lighthouse at sea off the coast of France that is still inhabited by lighthouse keepers, the oldest still in operation, and the only one in the world open to visit.

The best time to visit the Cordouan Lighthouse is during low-tide season from April to October because it is not accessible at high-tide because the rocky islet upon which it stands is covered by water.

There might have been a third lighthouse here at this location.

The Pointe-de-Grave Monument was said to have been an American Monument marking the country’s entry into World War I, but was destroyed by the Germans some time during their occupation of France, which took place between May of 1940 to December of 1944.

On the estuary side of the Medoc Regional Natural Park, there are three historic lighthouses that are no longer in operation.

They are the Richard Lighthouse…

…the Patiras Lighthouse…

…and the Trompeloup Lighthouse, which no longer exists except for its base still visible in the estuary.

Besides the Cordouan and Grave Lighthouses, there are the Saint-Nicolas, Hourtin and Cap Ferret Lighthouses along the coast.

On the Atlantic-side of the Medoc Regional Natural Park, there are five lighthouses still in operation.

The Saint-Nicolas Lighthouse is located on the Dune of LaClair on the Pointe-de-Grave and forms an alignment with the Cordouan Lighthouse and Grave Lighthouse.

There are two lighthouses at the Hourtin location, situated 650-feet, or 200-meters, apart from each other on a north-south axis, and said to have been built in 1860 on the coastal dunes of Hourtin.

The Hourtin Dunes and Marshes National Nature Reserve, a system of dunes, marshes and large lakes, is on the coastal strip in the western part of the Medoc Regional Natural Park.

Lastly at this location on the Medoc Peninsula is the Cap Ferret Lighthouse.

The original lighthouse here at the entrance to Arcachon Bay was said to have been built between 1839 and 1840; destroyed by the Germans in 1944; and rebuilt in 1947 to look the same as the first one.

Next I am going to take a look at the Gironde Estuary.

Tje Gironde Estuary is the largest estuary in western Europe, and formed from the meeting of the Dordogne and Garonne Rivers just downstream from the city-center of Bordeaux.

Since 2015, it has been part of the Gironde Estuary and Pertuis Sea Marine Nature Park.

An “estuary” is defined as a partially-enclosed, coastal body of brackish water, which is water that is salty, dirty & unpleasant, with one or more rivers flowing into it, and a connection to the open sea.

It is also my opinion that what we are told were “natural” rivers were actually man-made canal systems.

I am going to use the example of the Garonne River of the two rivers here to illustrate my belief that what are called “natural rivers” were all man-made canal systems.

This is the Garonne River in Bordeaux, with manmade banks.

Yet we are told that it is a natural river, and this is the case with major rivers around the world.

Interesting to note that what is called the “Garonne Canal,” is said to meet the tidal Garonne River at Castets-en-Dorthe and connects with the “Canal du Midi” in Toulouse, which is 120-miles, or 193-kilometers, in length and has fifty-three locks.

The Garonne Canal was said to have been constructed between 1838 and 1856.

What is called the “Canal du Midi” connects Toulouse with the Mediterranean Sea, and both canals together are called the “Canal des Deux Mers” or the “Canal of Two Seas.”

The “Canal du Midi” was said to have been authorized in 1666, and constructed between 1666 and 1681.

It’s original name was the Royal Canal in Languedoc and we are told renamed during the French Revolution in 1789.

The Bordeaux-Sete Railway also operates along this same route, said to have been opened in several stages between 1855 and 1858.

This is part of the same rail infrastructure that connects the Pointe-de-Grave with Bordeaux along the western edge of the Gironde Estuary.

The Citadel of Blaye is located on the right Bank of the Gironde Estuary, near the A10 Autoroute, and other highway connections, and is located 35-miles, or 56-kilometers, north of Bordeaux.

It is served by a rail line for freight, but not passenger, service.

The Citadel of Blaye was said to have been designed by the engineer Sebastien Vauban, and built during the reign of King Louis XIV between 1686 and 1689 to protect the city of Bordeaux from enemy attacks.

The Citadel of Blaye was said to be part of a three-fort defense system designed by Vauban, known as the “Bolt of the Estuary” and the “Vauban Triptych,” that include Fort Pate in the middle of the estuary, and Fort Medoc on the left bank of the estuary across from the other two.

The Blayais Nuclear Power Plant is just a little ways up the right bank of the Gironde Estuary from the Citadel of Blaye.

The Blayais Nuclear Power Plant first became operational in 1981.

In December of 1999, parts of the nuclear power plant were flooded when a combination of wind and high-tides overwhelmed the sea-walls at the location, resulting in the loss of the plant’s off-site power supply, and knocked-out several safety-related back-up systems.

It was rated as an “Incident,” a number 2-level event on the “International Nuclear Event Scale.”

Shortly after it happened, it was reported by the regional newspaper as being “very close to a major accident,” which was never contradicted.

It is noteworthy that within the Gironde Estuary and the Medoc Peninsula are fertile lands for agricultural activities, and this region is well-known for its wine-making.

Further north of the mouth of the Gironde Estuary is Fort Boyard in the Pertuis d’Antioche straits between the Ile d’Aix and the Ile d’Oleron off the western coast of France, said to have been built starting in 1801 under Napoleon Bonaparte, and completed in 1852, and in use as a fortification until 1913.

This stadium-shaped fortification is 223-feet, or 68-meters,-long and 102-feet, or 31-meters-wide, and 66-feet, or 20-meters, -high.

Since 1990, it has been a filming location for the French game show of the same name, where teams compete in physical and mental challenges to win a treasure.

Then when I was looking around for more information on Fort Boyard, like the name of the stone construction material, I stumbled upon a whole lot of star forts and batteries, and another lighthouse, in the Pertuis d’Antioche straits on and around the Ile d’Aix and the Ile d’Oleron.

Over the course of years of doing research along the Earth’s leylines, I have found other island locations loaded with star forts and batteries, which we have always been told were military fortifications in our narrative.

This includes places like the small island of Bermuda in the North Atlantic Ocean…

And the Fernando de Noronha islands, off the coast of Brazil near the city of Natal.

Here are historic drawings of eight of the ten I found out about within an archipelago whose area totals 10-square miles, 26-kilometers squared.

Both are in the Atlantic Ocean, separated by 3,277-miles, or 5,274-kilometers.

Alderney in the  Channel Islands of the English Channel between southern England and northern France is also loaded with star forts.

Alderney Island is only 3-miles, or 5-kilometers, -long, and 1 1/2-miles, or 2.4-kilometers, -wide.

Alderney is the northernmost of the inhabited Channel Islands.

Alderney is the closest of the Channel Islands to both England and France, and is separated from the Cap de la Hague in France’s Normandy region by the Alderney Race, described as a dangerous passage because of the strong currents that run through it.

From this particular map, it certainly looks like there is more of Alderney Island below the water than above it.

I used this Google Earth screenshot to orient myself to Alderney’s location with respect to England and France in order to match up Alderney’s location with this map, and to show what appears to be a triangulated relationship between these three places with a high-concentration of star forts for their small sizes.

Alderney became one of the most heavily fortified sections of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall, one of the largest building works of the 20th-century, fortifications built between 1942 and 1944, envisioned to make an Allied invasion of the Western European mainland from the sea impossible.

The Atlantic Wall was said to have been an extensive system of coastal defenses built by Nazi Germany along the coast of continental Europe and Scandinavia.

Just like France, the Channel Islands were occupied by the German Armed Forces long-term during the war, in this case from June 30th of 1940 to May 9th of 1945, and were the only part of the British Isles occupied by Germany.

It is interesting to note that for all the time, effort and energy the Germans were said to have put into the Atlantic Wall to make an Allied invasion of the Western European mainland from the sea impossible, we are also told that when the Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6th of 1944, known to us in history as D-Day, most of the coastal defenses there were stormed within hours.

Something is not adding up here.

All of these massive building projects for making an Allied invasion from the sea impossible amounted to absolutely nothing?

What was really going on here?

Crete is another island that I have encountered that has numerous star forts.

Crete, also known as Candia, is the largest and most populous of the Aegean Islands, and a place where the Venetians, Genoese, Byzantines, and Turks were all said to have built forts to defend the island from enemies and pirates, with 15 Genoese forts alone.

I think places like these examples were significant power centers for the Earth’s original energy grid system, and star forts represented the definition of battery meaning “a device that produces electricity that may have several primary or secondary cells arranged in parallel or series, as well as a battery source of energy which provides a push, or a voltage, of energy to get the current flowing in a circuit,” and that this is the reason there are so many star forts that are paired together, or even the reason clusters of them are found in the same location.

Many features on star forts, or so-called fortifications near them, are actually called “batteries,” even though they were re-purposed in many cases, but not in all, to the second definition applied to them in the new time-line in order for them to appear to have a strictly military function, which is “…the heavy fire of artillery to saturate an area rather than hit a specific target” that we are led to believe in our current historical narrative.

Next, I am going to turn my attention to the Bay of Biscay.

The Bay of Biscay is a gulf in the Northeast Atlantic that lies along the coast of Western France and the northern coast of Spain. 

Just for point of information, Basque districts lie along the Bay, including Bilbao, the capital of the Basque Country in Spain, and Biscay was the name for Basque up until the early 19th century. 

Parts of the Continental Shelf extend far into the Bay of Biscay.

What are called “Continental Shelves” are found all along the Earth’s coastlines, and I believe are actually submerged landmasses and ruined land from this recent cataclysmic event which destroyed the Earth’s original energy grid, along with land features like estuaries. wetlands, deserts and dunes.

I will continue to give evidence to support why I believe this throughout this post.

My belief is at odds, however, with the official explanation, which is that of a worldwide Great sea level rise as a result of melting glaciers from the last Ice Age and the expansion of seawater as it warms, and both are due to global warming.

Here is a more detailed look at the bathymetry of the Bay of Biscay.

Bathymetry is the study of the underwater depth of the “floors” of oceans, lakes, and rivers.

So in this example, the shelf running along the European continent at this location is only 100-meters, or 328-feet, in depth, at its shallowest, which extends out quite a distance from the coast of France and well into the entrance of the English Channel.

Here is another view of what these different depths look like from a different perspective on a chart measuring ocean depth.

Abnormally high waves and rough seas occur here, and the Bay of Biscay is known for having heavy storms, especially in the winter months.

The Bay of Biscay is notable for having a long history of shipwrecks, and is counted among the most dangerous waters on Earth..

Also the Gulf Stream enters the Bay of Biscay, and follows the continental shelf’s border counterclockwise, keeping the temperature moderate.

The “Gulf Stream” is described as a warm and swift current in the Atlantic that originates in the Gulf and flows through the Straits of Florida and up the Eastern coastline of the United States.

It veers east near the 36-degree North latitude at North Carolina and moves toward northwest Europe as the North Atlantic Current.

More on the 36-degree North latitude and North Carolina to come in this video.

The North Atlantic Current eventually splits in two, with the northern stream called the North Atlantic Drift heading into Northern Europe, and the southern stream, known as the Canary Current, recirculating along the coast of West Africa.

I found on the official USGS.gov website that “The Gulf Stream can be thought of as a “river” in the ocean.”

What I am wondering is if the “Gulf Stream” is a sunken river system, and I have already shared my belief that what are called “natural rivers” were in actuality man-made canal systems.

For example in this slide, there is a graphic showing the Gulf Stream with snaky, S-shaped bends on the top left, and on the bottom right, a photograph of the Gulf Stream, looking like a river in the ocean.

In this next slide, the snaky, S-shaped River Thames is shown on the top as it winds its way through London, and the masonry banks of the Thames as seen at the location of Cleopatra’s Needle on the bottom.

Here is a photo taken in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef, looking very much like a river in shallow water.

The shallows of the Banc d’Arguin National Park off the coast of West Africa in Mauretania are said to be remnants of a vast river delta from a time when waters flowed from what is now the Sahara Desert, and many channels are clearly visible in this location.

Oh, and there used to be a star fort here as well on the island of Arguin in the National Park, but there isn’t one to be found here any more.

And here are aerial views on the left of the Mississippi Delta, which is on the southeastern coast of Louisiana, showing many geometric and straight channels, and the same type of straight, geometric channels are also found in the Nile Delta on the right.

Now, I am going to take a closer look at Arcachon and Arcachon Bay, which is located very close to where this Pyramid alignment between Mexico and Egypt enters France, and in-between the Medoc Regional Natural Park and the Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park.

Arcachon is a popular beach resort 34-miles, or 55-kilometers, southwest of Bordeaux, and accessible by rail from Bordeaux since 1857, the year that the French Emperor Napoleon III signed an imperial decree that Arcachon was an autonomous municipality, and it turned from a small fishing village into a health and beach resort.

Arcachon is known for the Arcachonnaise-style of architecture said to have been built there during the 19th-century, often described as a type of Victorian architecture.

Here is one example of a Arcachonaise home on the top left, with the architectural feature of a tower that brings to mind the Bermuda Parliament building in Hamilton, Bermuda on the top right, facing in the same direction as the one in Arcachon; the towers in this photo of Ouarzazate in Morocco on the bottom left; and the towers in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands on the bottom right, and these two on the bottom are also facing in the same direction.

If I were to take a guess, because I don’t know for certain, everything was oriented to the cardinal points of North, South, East, and West.

I do know for certain that the Pyramids of Giza are.

I think everything was built by the original advanced Moorish civilization that was removed from our awareness, and that the Victorian-era and the second French Empire under Napoleon III in the 19th-century was the major time of the reset of our historical narrative, and provided the cover-story needed to explain what was already in existence, and being brought back on-line after the energy grid was destroyed.

Next, I am going to turn my attention to Arcachon Bay.

The general shape of Arcachon Bay is described as that of an equilateral triangle pointing north, and the southwest corner of which is open to the sea, between Cap Ferret, the location of the previously-mentioned lighthouse, and the town of Arcachon.

Arcachon Bay is also described as an estuary, where saltwater and freshwater mix, and in which we are told that tidal currents result in features like sand bars, sand flats and a channel system.

The Cap Ferret has a narrow-gauge tramway that links the shores of the Arcachon Bay with the beaches on the Atlantic Coast that runs from April to September.

The line first operated in 1879 and was pulled by a horse.

Locomotives took over in 1925 and it operated until 1935, and then service was started again in its current form in 1952.

What we are told were remnants of the Atlantic Wall are visible at the beach terminus of the tramway.

The Dune of Pilat is located at the southern entrance of Arcachon Bay, and is the tallest sand dune in Europe.

Prior to being called the Dune of Pilat in the 1930s, the area was called “Les Sabloneys,” or “the New Sands.”

We are told the dune has moved landward, and has pushed back forest to cover houses, roads, and more portions of the Atlantic Wall.

Arcachon is in what is called the “Landes Forest,” called the largest manmade forest in western Europe.

Composed mostly of maritime pine, the “Landes Forest” covers a large part of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region and is also the location of the Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park, which I will be looking at shortly.

The history of the “Landes Forest” goes like this.

Most of the region covered by the “Landes Forest” was swampy-land and sparsely-inhabited until the 19th-century, when the “19 June 1857 Law” led to wide-scale reforestation to rehabilitate the landscape and provide for economic development.

We are told that prior to this time, local inhabitants were using stilts to move from place-to-place in the wet terrain.

The area of the forest is approximately 3,900-square-miles, or 10,000-square-kilometers, of which nine-tenths of the forest is what is called a “pine plantation” planted with maritime pines in the 19th-century on fairly poor, sandy soils.

One-tenth of the forest is said to be old-growth natural forest, of oak, alder, birch, willow, and holly.

I am going to pivot now to the Atlantic Coast of the United States for some comparisons of what is found where I have been looking on both sides of the Atlantic.

Firstly, pine barrens.

There are three remaining large Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens in New Jersey, Central Long Island, and Coastal Massachusetts.

Like the “Landes Forest,” these pine barrens also have nutrient-poor, sandy and swampy soil.

In New Jersey, the pine barrens are part of 1.1-million-acres of the Pinelands National Reserve, occupying 22% of New Jersey’s land area.

In our historical narrative, the Central Railroad of New Jersey was building its rail-lines right through the desolate, swampy and forbidding Pine Barrens between nearby large population centers and the Jersey Shore.

Today there are abandoned trains and railroad tracks found throughout the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

This whole area is part of the New York – New Jersey Harbor Estuary System, which we are told forms one of the most intricate natural harbors in the world, as well as being the busiest port in the world as the Ports of New York and New Jersey are contained within it.

it is described as a harbor system of bays and tidal rivers where the Hudson, Hackensack, Rahway, Passaic and Raritan Rivers meet the Atlantic Ocean.

To the southeast, the Lower New York Bay that is part of the harbor system opens into the New York Bight in the Atlantic Ocean.

The New York Bight is described as a roughly triangular indentation along the Atlantic Coast of the northeastern United States from Cape May, New Jersey, to Montauk Point on the Eastern tip of Long Island.

The Hudson Valley Shelf, also known as the Hudson Canyon, is an underwater canyon that begins at the shallow outlet of the estuary at the mouth of the Hudson River, said to begin as a natural channel but in my mind, another candidate for a man-made canal.

The Hudson River with a masonry bank is shown on the left, and the Harlem River with a masonry bank shown on the right in this location in New York City and New Jersey.

There’s a lot to unpack here on the Atlantic Coast of the United States that is like what we’ve already seen on the Atlantic Coast of western Europe, so I will bring forward the comparisons I want to make.

So I am going to start breaking this down into smaller parts at Plymouth, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, the location of the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens Alliance.

The Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barren Association is headquartered at The Center at Center Hill Preserve in Plymouth.

The SEMBP on land extends from Duxbury to Provincetown along the Cape Cod Bay shoreline, covering Cape Cod, the Elizabeth Islands, Nantucket Island and Martha’s Vineyard, and inland includes Southeastern Massachusetts, including Plymouth and surrounding communities.

This is the same Plymouth that was the location of the Plymouth Colony in our historical narrative where the Pilgrims in 1620 after they journeyed from England to the New World on the Mayflower, seeking religious freedom, as we are taught and celebrate every year in the United States at Thanksgiving.

Like the dangerous waters of the Bay of Biscay, Cape Cod is also known as a “Graveyard of the Atlantic” due to the large number of shipwrecks that have occurred here because of its dangerous shallows.

Here is the map showing fourteen lighthouses on Cape Cod alone, as well as other lighthouses of this part of New England, on the left, as well as the historic Old Colony Railroad that traversed the length of the narrow Cape Cod.

The landscape all through here has a sheared-off-looking quality to them, like the example of Aquinnah Cliffs on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, which is part of the Massachusetts Coastal Pine Barrens…

…and the location of the Gay Head Lighthouse on Martha’s Vineyard and its location next to eroding cliffs, and where it looks like there is more to the lighthouse under the ground.

Like the Alderney Race in the Channel Islands between Alderney and the Normandy coast of France, the Plum Gut at the entrance to Long Island Sound, between the lighthouse on Plum Island and the lighthouse at Orient Bay on the easternmost point of the North Fork of Long Island, is notorious for its extremely turbulent currents.

The Long Island Sound is also a tidal estuary of the Atlantic Ocean.

Long Island Sound is 110-miles, or 180-kilometers, -long, and runs between the East River in New York City, along the North Shore of Long Island.

Gardiners Island, located in Gardiners Bay between the North and South Forks of Long Island, was the first English settlement in New York, circa 1639, and has been privately owned by the Gardiner family ever since.

Even though Gardiners Island is just a little over 5-square-miles, or 13.4-kilometers-squared, it has more than 1,000 acres of old growth forest, considered to be the largest old-growth forest on the northeast coast of the United States.

Besides having the largest stand of white oak in the American Northeast, other trees include swamp maple, wild cherry, and birch.

Montauk Point is located on the far eastern end of the South Fork of Long Island.

The Montauks, also known as Montauketts, once resided in large numbers on the eastern end of Long Island.

Interesting to note there is a “Pharoah” surname amongst the Montauks.

This a painting of David Pharaoh of the royal family of the Montauk tribe, pictured with loads of sand and dunes.

In today’s world, the Westhampton dunes on eastern Long Island is considered prime land and luxury real estate for those that can afford it.

The Montauk Point Lighthouse is on Turtle Hill at the easternmost tip of Long Island, was said to be the first built within the State of New York between 1792 and 1796, and the fourth-oldest active lighthouse in the United States.

Today it is a privately-run museum.

The U. S. Army took over the lighthouse during World War II, and opened Camp Hero, or Montauk Air Force Station, in 1942, adjacent to the lighthouse.

Camp Hero on Montauk Point is alleged to be the location of the Montauk Project, a series of U. S. Government projects with the purpose of developing things like psychological warfare techniques, like MK Ultra, and time-travel research, among others.

The Montauk Reservation on Montauk Point was located in the vicinity of Camp Hero State Park and the Lighthouse, and not far from Gardiners Island in-between the North Fork and the South Fork of Long Island.

There was an extensive railroad system on Long Island historically, and even today is the busiest commuter railroad in the United States, and operates continuously…

…across a landscape of wetlands, pine barrens, lakes and lagoons on an island that is 118-miles, or 190-kilometers, -long, and 23-miles, or 37-kilometers-wide.

This is the same kind of infrastructure and landscape we have been seeing on the Medoc Peninsula on the Atlantic Coast of western France.

Before I leave this part of the North Atlantic coast, I would like to mention what are called the “New England Seamounts,” that begin at the edge of the continental shelf off of this part of New England close to Cape Cod and Long Island.

The New England Seamounts are described as a chain of twenty underwater extinct volcanic mountains known as “seamounts.”

A “seamount” is defined as a large, submarine landform that rises from the ocean floor without reaching the surface of the water.

Oceanographers classify them as independent features typically formed from extinct volcanoes that rise abruptly from the sea-floor from 3,300-to-13,100-feet, or 1,000-to-4,000-meters, in height.

Guyots are seamounts with a flat-surface on top that we are told was created by such things as wave action over a long period of time.

So, for example, the Bear Seamount, part of the New England Seamount chain is an example of a “guyot,” and shown here next to the Physalia Seamount.

Both the Bear and Physalia Seamounts are part of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, which were created on September 15th of 2016 by President Obama by Proclamation 9496, which was a power granted by the U. S. Congress under the Antiquities Act of 1906, which gave the President the authority to create national monuments from federal lands to protect significant natural, cultural or scientific features.

It is the first U. S. Marine National Monument in the Atlantic Ocean, and protects four seamounts and three submarine canyons on the edge of the Continental Shelf.

It is interesting to note that these seamounts, described as large, submarine landforms that rise abruptly from the ocean floor and independent features typically formed from extinct volcanoes sounds very similar to the definition of the previously-mentioned “Monadnocks” found on land, and here is a comparison of the three examples I showed earlier of the Devil’s Tower in Wyoming; the Jugurtha Tableland in Tunisia; and the Hammam Damt volcano in Yemen on the left, with the Bear Seamount in the Atlantic Ocean on the right.

Now I am going to go further south along the Atlantic Coast of the United States to one of the areas I was looking at in Part 2 of this series, where the alignment crosses over the coastal plain of North Carolina, and exits at Carova Beach, just south of the state’s border with Virginia.

North Carolina’s Coastal Plain is described as low, flat land along the Atlantic Ocean that makes up about 45% of the state’s total land area.

Wetlands are a dominant feature of the Coastal Plain.

About half of the state’s original freshwater wetlands have been drained and converted to other uses, like agriculture or urban uses.

About 240,000 acres, or 97,124-hectares, were originally in salt marshes, and approximately 85% of those marshes remains undisturbed.

Pamlico Sound is the largest estuarine lagoon along the North American East Coast, at 80-miles, or 130-kilometers, -long and 15- to 20-miles, or 24- to 32-kilometers, -wide, and is connected to a large, interconnected network of similiar sounds known collectively as the Albemarle-Pamlico Sound System.

The combined estuary has over 3,000-square-miles, or 7,800-kilometers-squared, of open water, making it the second-largest estuary in the United States, after the Chesapeake Bay just to the north of it.

The Pamlico Sound is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Outer Banks, a row of low, sandy barrier islands, where we find more historic forts, like what we saw on the Atlantic coast of France, some pre-Civll war and some Civil War-era, are found up and down the coast-line here.

Also, like we saw in France, the Outer Banks alone has five historic lighthouses along the coast line of the barrier islands of the Outer Banks…

…and there are sand dunes found in the Outer Banks, like those at Jockey’s Ridge State Park at Nag’s Head.

Jockey’s Ridge is called the tallest active sand dune system in the eastern United States, and is just a short distance south of where this pyramid alignment leaves the United States at Carova Beach in the northern Outer Banks, and the Dune of Pilat, the tallest dune in Europe at Arcachon Bay in western France is located just a short distance south of where this alignment enters Europe across the Atlantic Ocean.

These examples of just two of many I have found of coastal dunes and inland dunes in tracking this pyramid alignment, and in tracking other long-distance alignments are well.

Barrier Islands are classified as shoals that are called a natural submerged ridge or bank covered by sand or some other material that rises from the bed of a body of water close to the surface that poses a danger to navigation, as the Pamlico Sound and its ocean inlets are noted for wide-expanses of shallow water.

Like Cape Cod in Massachusetts, the treacherous waters of the Outer Banks have also given it the nickname of “Graveyard of the Atlantic” because of the numerous shipwrecks that have occurred here because of its treacherous waters consisting of things like shallows, shifting sands, and strong currents.

The Dismal Swamp State Park is located at the border with North Carolina and Virginia, and part of the larger Great Dismal Swamp of the coastal plain region between Norfolk in southeastern Virginia and Elizabeth City in northeastern North Carolina, and is near where this pyramid alignment leaves the United States at Carova Beach on the coast.

The adjoining Northwest River Natural Area Preserve is in Virginia, and the Northwest River Marsh and Gameland in North Carolina.

The “Dismal Swamp Canal” runs for 22-miles, or 35-kilometers, along the eastern edge of the Great Dismal Swamp.

We are told that the Dismal Swamp Canal is the oldest continually operating, man-made canal in the United States, and was said to have been built between 1793 and 1805 under the direction of the Dismal Swamp Canal Company, and the labor provided primarily by slaves rented from local landowners who dug the canal by hand.

Today it is still in use by recreational boaters and is maintained and operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers as one of two inland routes that connect the Chesapeake Bay and the Albemarle Sound

The nearby Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal was said to have been built by a corporation somewhere between 1855 and 1859, which would have been right before the start of the American Civil War, and is also still maintained and operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.

What became the “Norfolk Southern” railroad started out as the Elizabeth City and Norfolk Railroad Company in 1870, and by 1883 it was operating as the Norfolk Southern Railroad through there until 1974.

This railroad paralleled the Dismal Swamp Canal and was said to have competed with both canals for freight and passengers.

This is a map of historical railroad trackage in Virginia and North Carolina circa 1882, which includes the area between Norfolk in southeastern Virginia and Elizabeth City in northeastern North Carolina where the Great Dismal Swamp is located, highlighted by the red box.

I will have more to say about the latitude of the Great Dismal Swamp later in this post because it reveals some interesting findings.

And again, they really want us to believe that they built these railroads through places like these swampy wetlands.

Just north of this location at North Carolina’s border with Virginia is an area of great historical significance in our narrative.

It includes Norfolk and Hampton Roads, which is described as the world’s largest “natural” harbor, with all of its straight-edges, located at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.

Hampton Roads has the largest concentration of military personnel in the nation, and besides being the location of the historic Fort Monroe on the top left; the Naval Station Norfolk on the top right; the Joint Base Langley Air Force Base – Fort Eustis Army Base on the bottom left; and the Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek – Fort Story on the bottom right.

In addition to its extensive military presence, the Hampton Roads location has a long history of being a strategic transportation point, the place where many railway lines started, and having an extensive network of interstate highways, bridges, tunnels, and three bridge-tunnel complexes.

Further north of Norfolk is the location of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America.

Jamestown served as the capital of the Virginia Colony from 1616 until 1699, at which time it was abandoned when the capital was moved to nearby Williamsburg.

It’s interesting to note these two bastions of the historic James Fort at Jamestown are off-shore in the water, like land subsidence occurred at this location.

Also, interesting to note that in 1907, the Jamestown Exposition was held in Sewell’s Point in Norfolk, located at the mouth of the Hampton Roads port, and said to commemorate the 300th-Anniversary of the founding of Jamestown in the Virginia Colony.

I will point out a couple of places in close vicinity to Jamestown, and the previously mentioned James Fort archeological site, that are noteworthy.

The Surry Nuclear Power Plant on Hog Island, and Fort Eustis, the headquarters of the U. S. Army’s Training and Doctrine Command which oversees training of forces and the development of operational doctrine, are to the southeast of the James Fort Archeological Site.

The Busch Gardens Williamsburg amusement theme park; the Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, which provides weapons and ammunition storage and loading facilities for ships of the U. S. Atlantic Fleet; and the city of Yorktown, where the British General Charles Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington during the American Revolutionary War, are directly to the east of it.

Williamsburg, where Colonial Williamsburg is a living history museum and was the center of British authority in Virgina in the 18th-century, is to the northeast of James Fort.

Together, Jamestown, Yorktown, and Williamsburg form what is called the “Historic Triangle.”

And there’s tidal marshland all over the place around here, like everywhere else along the coast!

The Hog Island Wildlife Management Area, which includes 50-acres of tidal wetlands, is directly adjacent to where the Surry Nuclear Power Plant is located on Hog Island, a very similar finding to the Blayais Nuclear Power Plant on the right bank of the Gironde Estuary in France, where we saw there was a level 2 incident when the plant was flooded that could have been much worse.

The Surry Nuclear Power Plant has a history of problematic incidents since it became operational in the early 1970s.

In the second part of this series, I found the Savannah River Site on this pyramid alignment in Kline, South Carolina.

Among other things, the Savannah River Site was the location where the neutrino was discovered at the “P Reactor.”

A significant portion of the Savannah River Site is built on, or includes, various wetland areas.

We are told the Savannah River Site was constructed in the early 1950s to produce the basic materials used in the fabrication of nuclear weapons.

In 1950, President Harry S. Truman formally requested DuPont’s help in the design and construction of the Savannah River Project.

So, was there actually a conscious decision made to build nuclear powerplants in marshy wetlands?

Or were nuclear powerplants also pre-existing technology that was brought back on-line in the present-day, and not operated safely or cautiously?

The Savannah River Site also has a long-history of environmental contamination.

DuPont has a very poor track record when it comes to the prevention of environmental contamination at its facilities, like the Fayetteville Works Plant, which is also on this alignment in North Carolina.

The Fayetteville Works Plant is located right next to the William O. Huske Locke and Dam on the Cape Fear River.

The William O. Huske Lock and Dam, also known as “Lack and Dam#3, was said to have been completed in 1935 – which would have been during the Great Depression – and located 95-miles, or 153-kilometers, above Wilmington, and one of three locks and dams on the Cape Fear River as it flows northwest from Wilmington.

Even though locks and dams are canal features, the Cape Fear River is called natural with human modifications.

DuPont, and a company connected to DuPont called Chemours, have operated the “Fayetteville Works Plant” since the 1970s, amidst on-going controversies regarding the subject of environmental chemical contamination.

The last place I am going to look at highlighted by a yellow box before I am going to start looking at the specific places on the alignment across France is the Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park.

The Regional Natural Park of the same name is located in the “Landes de Gascogne” natural region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

“Landes de Gascogne” is also called the “Gascony Moors.”

Just for point of information, what are called “Moors” in Great Britain are described as being characterized by low-growing vegetation on acidic soils, and includes uncultivated hill-land, as well as low-lying wetlands, so more of the same of what we have already been seeing on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

“Moors” in Great Britain are also often blanketed by what appear to be megalithic stones, like the example of “Scales Moor” in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Personally, I think the memory of the original people is retained in the name, and they’re telling us something without telling us they are telling us.

What we are told in our historical narrative is that the lands within the park were largely unpopulated throughout history, and that the roughly triangular area of today’s park was an inland sea which had receded, and left infertile soil that did not attract settlement, and was originally a sandy plain covered by lakes and ponds, and bordered by moving dunes that were stabilized by the plantation of maritime pines starting in 1801.

It is also considered a coastal plain like what we saw across the Atlantic in North Carolina.

We are told that large-scale public works projects in the 19th-century helped to drain, clear, and reforest the area but thee transformation was limited, and that by the mid-twentieth-century, the focus had become protecting the natural environment.

There are forty-one communes throughout the park, with a total population of approximately 60,000 people.

These communes include places like Audenge next to Arcachon Bay, where the Castle of Certes is located, a former salt production and fish farm said to have been rebuilt in the 1850s.

Today the grounds are accessible to the public for nature walks.

And places like Captieux, with its imposing Saint-Martin Church, said to have been built between the 12th- and 15th-centuries as a place of worship and priory, and classified as an historical monument in 1840.

Interesting to note that Captieux was the location of the U. S. Army’s “Captieux Ammunition Depot” from 1950 to 1967, and was one of the largest U. S. Army installations in Europe.

Captieux and the former Captieux Ammo Depot are roughly midway between Langon on the Garonne River right before it becomes the Garonne Canal at Castets-en-Dorthe, and Mont-de-Marsan at the southern edge of the Landes de Gascogne Regional Park, both of which have rail connections.

Mont-de-Marsan was also one of the cities with the radial highway connections that I mentioned at the beginning of this post, as was Bordeaux.

Mont-de-Marsan is the capital of the Landes-de-Gascogne region.

It is located at the confluence of the Douze and Midour Rivers, where they form the Midouze.

I am still calling these so-called rivers with masonry banks canal systems…

…but the writers of the official narrative want us to believe these are natural rivers.

The Mont-de-Marsan Airbase is located 1.2-miles, or 2-kilometers, north of the city, and is one of the main operational bases for the French Air and Space Force.

The base includes an aeronautical research and test center, a radar command reporting center, and a control training site.

It was formerly home to France’s first operational squadron of nuclear bombers.

I am sure there is a lot more I can find around here in the Mont-de-Marsan and Landes-de-Gascogne region, but this gives you the idea.

So now I am going to go ahead and take a look at what exactly is found on the alignment itself, starting where it enters France close to the beach at Le Porge Ocean.

I have highlighted Le Porge Ocean; the Sentier l’home et la Nature Espace Jesus; the Etang de Langouarde; the Intermarche Super Le Porge; and the Jardinerie Gassian Delbard.

Le Porge Ocean is called the closest and quietest of the beach towns near Bordeaux.

This beach is known for its large waves and strong undertow, and a place one could go to surf if so inclined.

According to the information I could find on it, until the 19th-century, the area of Le Porge was moors, marshes and dunes, and that with human and natural interventions, the area was transformed, and the number of acres of moors and marshes decreased considerably between 1827 and 1887.

Then the area was developed along a north-south axis following an arc between the dunes, rivers and drained wetlands.

We are told that the “Canal des Etangs,” which translates to “pond canal” in English, was inaugurated, or formally opened for use, in 1864, which was in the same period in our historical narrative as the American Civil War.

The section of the “Canal des Etangs” that connects Lake Lacanau with Arcachon Bay is called the “Canal du Porge,” and has six locks.

The “Canal des Etangs” links Lake Hourtins and Carcans at its northern end, located in the Hourtin Dunes and Marshes National Nature Reserve and the largest freshwater lake entirely in France and part of the “Great Landes Lakes”, through Lake Lacanau, another of these lakes, with the Arcachon Bay at its southern end.

The “Great Landes Lakes” are right behind the dune-belt, and part of the string of wetlands along the Nouvelle Aquitaine coast.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say there is original infrastructure under these dune systems.

I would like to give the example of Gary, Indiana, to support this assertion.

Gary is located right next to the Indiana Dunes on the southern shore of Lake Michigan, which is called one of the most biodiverse areas in the United States, and includes sand dunes and wetlands, including bogs, existing right next to each other in the same location, and both are beside railroad tracks, circled on the bottom right.

The South Shore Line runs in this part of Indiana starting in South Bend, and goes between Michigan City just to the east of the Indiana Dunes, to Gary, Indiana, located just to the west of the Indiana Dunes, on its way to Chicago, Illinois.

In June of 1906, the location of what became the city of Gary, about 26-miles, or 42-kilometers, east of Chicago, Illinois, was a wasteland of drifting sand and patches of scrub oak.

No one lived there, and there was no agricultural value to the land.

Yet, three or four railroads passed through the area and the S-shaped Grand Calumet River wound its way around sand dunes to get to Lake Michigan.

It was in June of 1906 that the first shovelful of sand was turned for the creation of the new steel town of Gary.

Laborers were housed in tents and shacks, and were digging trenches as very little work was being done above-ground.

By 1908, lo-and-behold, the city of Gary had taken on its shape and form!

Gary was heralded as a “Magic City,” having been transformed from sand dunes in record time!

It was established to be the “company town” for U. S. Steel, and became home to the largest steel mill complex in the world, with its operation starting in June of 1908, only two-years after the first shovelful of sand was turned at this location.

Le Porge has an historic rail connection as well.

The former railway line between Le Porge and Lacanau Ville is a popular bike path today, and the old train station of Le Porge still stands.

Next at this location, I am going to take a quick look at the following places near the alignment: the Sentier l’home et la Nature Espace Jesus; the Etang de Langouarde; the Intermarche Super Le Porge; and the Jardinerie Gassian Delbard.

The alignment runs between the “Sentier l’Homme et la Nature Espace Jesus,” where there is a nature trail, and the “Etang de Langouarde,” and both are located next to the “Canal des Etangs” where it passes through the Le Ponge area, with D107 a short distance to the north of both places.

D107, the French Departmental road in Gironde, links Le Porge Ocean with Saint-Medard-en-Jalles on the western outskirts of Bordeaux.

It was said to have been “made viable” between Le Porge and Le Porge Ocean in the 1950s.

Likewise, the alignment runs between the Intermarche Super Le Porge and the Jardinerie Gassian Delbard.

The Intermarche Super Le Porge is part of the major retail chain “Intermarche,” which offers four different types of stores – hypermarkets, a large retail department store and grocery store; supermarkets for grocery-shopping; Express Convenience stores; and Contact convenience stores in rural areas.

This is noteworthy because I have been consistently finding the same kinds of stores along the alignment on the other side of the Atlantic as well, including, but by no means limited to, Walmart department stores and grocery stores.

On the other side of the alignment from the Intermarche supermarket is the Jardinerie Gassian Delbard.

The Jardinerie Gassian Delbard is a family-owned and operated garden center that offers a wide selection of plants and trees, and other gardening and pet needs.

Again, the same as with the department and grocery stores, I found this kind of business consistently on the alignment as I was tracking it on the other side of the Atlantic, as well as other agricultural-type activites, from farming to animal breeding, including the historical growing of genetically-modified crops in Mexico.

The next segment of the alignment makes its way across France to the southwest of the major city of Bordeaux.

Bordeaux is the capital of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France, and a port city, known as the Port of the Moon.

Bordeaux is the world’s major wine industry capital. 

Also, the historic part of the city is on the UNESCO World Heritage list for what is called “an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble of the 18th century.” 

After Paris, Bordeaux has the highest number of preserved historical buildings in France.

In this location on the alignment, I have highlighted the following places to look at: the “Complexe Pierre Favre;” the Bordeaux Airport; Lac Vert; Lac Bleu; the Prieure de Cayac; the E. Leclerc in Leognan; and Les Sources des Caudalie.

The “Complexe Pierre Favre” is a sport center for local residents, with things like a fully-equipped gym; fitness classes; tennis courts; swimming pools; and so forth.

I have been consistently encountering fitness centers and sports’ venues like these as well on, or near, this alignment in Mexico and in the United States.

Same thing with airports, so not a surprise to find the Bordeaux Airport nearby.

The Bordeaux-Merignac Airport is an international airport with public use, and it is also in use as a strategic airbase by the French military.

Lac Vert, or the Green Lake, is directly on the alignment.

The lake is described as a leisure center that first opened in 1996 at the location of an abandoned gravel quarry where people come for fishing, picnicking, walking and jogging on nature trails in the surrounding area, like in the Canejan Forest.

Lac Vert is close to the location of the Rouillac Mill, located on the River Bourde.

It was said to have been a flour mill owned in the 19th-century by Baron Haussmann, but a lot of old places and ruins are explained as mills in our historical narrative.

Baron Haussman was credited with the massive urban renewal program of new boulevards, parks, and public works known as “Haussmann’s Renovation of Paris” under Emperor Napoleon III between 1853 and 1870.

I think mills fall in the category of repurposed infrastructure, like star forts being turned into military fortifications from what their original use was.

My favorite example of this is what is called a sugar mill in Belize with the gigantic cogwheel, and the tree growing out of it.

How long does it take a tree to grow like that out of a building? 

It immediately reminded me very much of pictures I have seen of  Angkor Wat in Cambodia, with tree and roots and all firmly rooted in ancient temples, like the one shown in the bottom photo.

Just a short distance down the alignment from Lac Vert is Lac Bleu, a forest park in Leognan.

It is described as a crystal clear lake with a sandy white beach nestled in a pine forest, and also a place where people come to enjoy the trails that criss-cross the park.

Next I am going to focus on the three more places near the alignment that are close to Lac Vert and Lac Bleu – the Prieure de Cayac; the E. Leclerc in Leognan; and Les Sources des Caudalie in that order.

First, the Priory of Cayac.

It is offically called the Notre-Dame de Cayac Priory-Hospital, and was said to have been built in two stages – between 1210 and 1230, and between 1310 and 1320 – on an ancient Roman road.

We are told the complex initially consisted of a church; a hospital; and a cemetery.

It was deconsecrated as a church in 1791 when it was sold as a state property.

We are told that from 1823 to 1860, it housed an industrial glassworks, and during World War II, the Italian Army occasionally used the church to repair its vehicles.

The Priory of Cayac is a stop on the Tours Route of the famous pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago, or the way of St. James leading to where his remains are said to be buried at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in Spain.

The Tours Route starts at the Saint-Jacques Tower in Paris and is one of four main routes that end at Santiago de Compostela.

Next, the the E. Leclerc in Leognan.

Now the French hypermarket chain E. Leclerc is often compared to Walmart in the United States, and is the largest retailer in its home market of France.

The last place I am going to look at near the alignment in this segment is Les Sources des Caudalie.

Today this is a 5-star hotel and spa.

When I see the tower and the 5-windows of the main building, I can’t help but think of the examples I showed previously in Arcachon; Bermuda; Morocco and on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

Similarly, the indoor swimming pool at this location on the left reminds me of the glorious swimming pools of a by-gone era, most of which are long-gone because they were taken out for some reason, just like the railroads and streetcars.

An example would be the Sutro Baths in San Francisco on the right, which were first opened in 1896, and destroyed by a fire determined to have been caused by arson in 1966.

The next two screenshots are where the alignment crosses through La Reole, which is located on the right bank of the Garonne River.

I am going to start with this first one where I have highlighted in the top left the Morizes Moto Club; the production site for Bouyer Leroux; and the Carreaux de Gironde.

The Morizes Moto Club stands out to me because I found all kinds of motorcycle racing, and other race courses, along this alignment going through the southeastern United States, especially in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.

The Morizes Moto Club track is known as a “long track,” which is a form of motorcycle racing where teams or individuals race opponents around an unpaved oval track.

It hosts International events like the International Motorcycling Federation Long Track Team World Championship races.

A production site for Bouyer Leroux is close to the alignment, which is a leader in wall and partition bricks, and terracotta products like chimney flues.

The Gironde-sur-Dropt brick factory has been established since the 1900s, and the clay for the bricks comes from two quarries here.

Lastly for this screenshot of the alignment entering La Reole, I highlighted the Carre Aux de Gironde in the Gironde-sur-Dropt area.

This is where the Storme-Pruvost Company manufactures tiles, roof tiles and bricks to primarily a local market in the part of France where we have been looking around Bordeaux.

I don’t know exactly what the significance is, but all I know is that there is something about clay and bricks that shows up on alignments.

One of the first examples of this that I encountered was tracking an alignment that started, and ended, in Washington, DC, through Sayreville in New Jersey several years ago, near the Raritan Bay in the previously-mentioned New York – New Jersey Harbor Estuary system.

Sayreville received its final naming from James Sayre, Jr, of Newark, one of the two co-founders of the Sayre and Fisher Brick Company in 1850.

There are extensive clay deposits in the area, and the Sayre and Fisher Company quickly became one of the largest brick-making companies in the world.

Big companies including, but not limited to, DuPont established plants in Sayreville for gunpowder production initially in 1898, and later for paint and photo products.

This next screenshot is also of the alignment where it crosses through La Reole, but picks up several more places I want to highlight than the ones I just shared, including the Sagne Cuisines Showroom, a home goods store, directly on the alignment; a short distance to the southwest of it is an Intermarche hypermarket, another department store and Frimon Horticulture, another garden center, right next to each other; in the bottom of the screenshot is the Skydiving Center and another airport; to the northeast of there is the Aux Fontaine Restaurant directly on the alignment, and just southeast of there is artisan bakery and pastries shop; and just above there, I have highlighted the hospital and a dance school and a sports’ stadium, all the kinds of places I have been finding all along this alignment.

I happened to notice several other places of interest on the Garonne River when I was looking around the area where the alignment leaves La Reole: the La Reole Train Station; the Millesme Festival; and the La Reole Moto Club.

La Reole on the previously mentioned Bordeaux to Sete railway line running along the Garonne River through here.

It provides rail service between Bordeaux and Agen.  

The Millesme Festival, or Vintage Festival, is an annual, two-day music event featuring electronic music including acid, techno, and trance.

It is interesting to note that several years ago when I was tracking an alignment between the Ames Campanile, a massive bell-tower on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, and the dome of the State Capitol building in Des Moines, it crossed near the location of the Des Moines Botanical Gardens , several blocks west of the alignment just north of the Iowa State Capitol Complex.

The present-day botanical center, with it’s geodesic dome roof, was said to have been completed in 1979.

From 1986 to the mid-2000’s, it was used as a Do-it-Yourself venue for the Des Moines Underground, Punk, and Hardcore music scene in the rental halls there, with nationally-touring bands like “Scream” and “Saint Vitus,” as well as regional and local bands.

I have come to believe as a result of my research over the years that the people of the original civilization were brought into resonance and harmony worldwide by frequency, vibration, and solfeggio healing tones delivered throughout the original energy grid system, which was a perfectly-tuned scientific and musical instrument, and I believe that having this type of music on the energy grid system has an opposite and negative impact on our collective consciousness.

Solfeggio frequencies make-up the ancient six-tone scale used in sacred music, and each solfeggio tone is a frequency that can be used to balance one’s energy and keep one’s body, mind, and spirit in harmony.

The modern suppression of solfeggio frequencies has been a deliberate manipulation and is a major issue facing Humanity.

The current musical scale is not tuned into the solfeggio frequencies, and the results of this are believed to negatively affect our thinking skills and emotional states.

Right below the Millesime Festival location is the Moto Club Reolais, another French Championship raceway for motorcycles, and hosts the “Grass Track International.”

In this next screenshot, just a short distance down the highway from the Moto Club Reolais on this alignment, is the “Speedway of Lamothe – Landerron.”

This is another international championship speedway for motorcycle racing, so there are three in close proximity to each other in this section of the alingment.

I think we are being told in our everyday language what the function was of specific infrastructure on the Earth, which I believe was arranged as a circuit board for the once, free-energy-generating electromagnetic grid system of the Ancient Advanced Civilization all over the surface of the Earth.

A circuit board is a physical piece of technology that allows for the assembly of electrical circuits or data circuits on a horizontal layer of material.

I think what are now being used as racing-tracks were once components of the circuitry of the Earth’s electro-magnetic grid system.

The sport of racing uses the word “circuit” in the following ways: the course over which races are won; the number of times the racers go around the track; an established itinerary of racing events involving public performance; and in bicycle racing, a circuit race is a mass-start road-cycle race that consists of several laps of a closed-circuit, where the length of the lap is slightly longer each time.

Electrical Circuit definitions Include:  A closed path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow, and includes devices that give energy to the charged particles the current is comprised of, such as batteries and generators; devices that use current, like lamps, electric motors, and computers; and the connecting wires or transmission lines.

Wouldn’t it stand to reason that those behind the reset when setting up the New World would take advantage of the super science of the different types of circuits in the Earth’s grid system, including racing circuits, in order to harness their inherent power, likely for multiple energy purposes that we are not aware of and are not for our benefit?

Next on the alignment we come to the village of Verteuil-d’Agenais.

Just to the southwest of the alignment is the location of “Crystal Vibrations,” experts in crystal singing bowls.

There are two automative businesses around the alignment – Sarl Stop Automobiles and Rodriguez DaSilva; the “Residence Eulalie” is a nursing home; and “Le Panier de Mathieu” is a grocery store.

There are also what appear to be groves circled in red on the right side of the screenshot, but I have not been able to find out what kind in a search, just that they are fruit trees of some kind, but again, another example of agricultural activity on this alignment.

It’s noteworthy to find “Crystal Vibrations” on this alignment after finding the annual”Millesme Festival” in the previous location with its different genres of electronic music.

It is a meditation and wellness center that specializes in the sounds and energy of quartz vibrational instruments.

Generally-speaking, quartz crystal-singing bowls produce powerful vibrations that resonate with body’s cellular structure and have a positive effect on physical and emotional well-being, promoting balance, relaxation and healing.

The range is singing bowls is between 110- hz and 900-hz,and when compared to metal-singing bowls, ones made of crystal tend to have smoother and steadier frequencies.

Crystal singing bowls can also be tuned to Solfeggio healing frequencies, which are specific to different ailments, and/or out of different types of crystals with specific healing properties as well.

This kind of sound healing technology has a positive and beneficial impact on the energy grid, countering whatever negative frequencies are being pumped into it from other sources, and those that are aware of this can use things like crystal singing bowls as a tool for good and raising our collective vibration instead of lowering it.

As Nikola Tesla famously said, “If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”

In the next screenshot, the alignment crosses through the area around Villeneuve-sur-Lot.

There are two schools on or near the alignment -the Ecole Primaire de Petite Tour, a primary school for younger children aged from 6 – 11; and the Lycee Polyvalent Georges Leygues, a high school for older students; the Complex Sportif de la Myre-Mory, a large sports complex and stadium; Sostraso Logistiques, a logistical and supply chain transportation company; the Chateau de la Sylvestrie; and the Bugat Pyrotechnique/Upgrade.

I have consistently found schools for students of every age all along this alignment, as well as sports complexes as previously mentioned, and logistical and supply chain companies as well, numerous examples of which is found in Albany Georgia, where there are logistical, warehouse, and distribution entities on and all around the alignment, like the Marine Corps Logistics Base directly on the alignment just above Radium Springs.

Radium Springs was known for its healing properties and crystal clear waters.

We are told that a resort and golf course was developed there in the 1920s, but that sadly, the Great Depression led to the closure of the resort in 1939.

Today only the Radium Springs Gardens, where you can visit and walk around, and look at the beautiful surroundings, but you can no longer swim.

As the alignment leaves the Villeneuve-sur-Lot-area, the Chateau de la Sylvestrie is directly on the alignment, and the Bugat Pyrotechnique/Upgrade is just a short-distance from the Chateau de la Sylvestrie to the northeast of both.

All that I am really able to find out about the Chateau de la Sylvestrie is that we are told that it is located on the edge of a plateau overlooking the Cambes Valley, and dates from the early 13th-century, and that the Cambes Valley is known for its vineyards.

The nearby Bugat Pyrotechnique/Upgrade is a fireworks manufacturer known for its high quality and colorful fireworks and unique shows for every occasion.

In the next screenshot, the alignment crosses through Caussade.

Caussade is in the Occitania region of southern France where the Occitan language was historically spoken and home to most of its speakers, and which is native to Spain, Italy, and Monaco as well.

Caussade is described as an ancient city in the hills of Quercy.

It is nicknamed the “hat city” due to hat-making production starting in the late 19th- century.

For a point-of-information, mercury was used in the hat-making process in the 19th-century, resulting in a high-rate of mercury poisoning in those working in this industry, causing things like neurological damage, slurred speech, memory loss and tremors.

The phrase “Mad as a Hatter” in the Victorian-era was used to suggest someone was insane.

In this location, I have highlighted an Intermarche Contact convenience store and funeral home directly on the alignment, and there are several supermarkets which are marked by the balloons surrounding it.

I have also circled Quercy O, which is an indoor aquatic venue and another sport center; the Spanish Cemetery, and I find cemeteries along the alignments; and what is called the “Dolmen Tombeau de Geant,” or “the Giant’s Tomb.”

I will address the location highlighted by the large yellow circle in the upper right-hand corner in the next screenshot.

In this one, I am going to take a look at “the Giant’s Tomb.”

“The Giant’s Tomb” is a dolmen in the middle of oak woods, and one megalithic stone structure of approximately 800 in this Quercy region of France.

What we are told about dolmens is that they are ancient megalithic structures built with upright stones and a capstone, and that the best explanation our narrative can give us is that they were believed to have been used as burial sites or ceremonial sites, though.

And in places like the United States and Canada, the exact same thing as a dolmen everywhere else is a called a “Glacial Erratic,” or created by rocks transported by glaciers often far from their original source.

This next screenshot zooms in on the location circled in yellow in the upper-right hand corner.

I have circled here Sematec; the “Dolmen de Finelle-Haut;” the “Dolmen de Peyrelade;” all of which are close to the Aerodrome of Septfonds.

Sematec is a company that specializes in quarrying, and the type of rock quarried here is used for aggregates, which are used in construction materials.

The “Dolmen de Finelle-Haut” and the “Dolmen de Peyrelade” are both located right next to the local airstrip called the Aerodrome de Septfonds, so another airplane-related location close to the alignment.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest bit to find out that dolmens were an ancient technology of some sort.

In the next slide, the alignment is crossing through the French commune of Bellegarde-Marsal in the Tarn Department, named after the River Tarn.

The Tarn Department is one of the original 83 departments created in March of 1790 during the French Revolution.

It was created from part of the former Province of Languedoc in a region called the County of Toulouse ruled by the Count of Toulouse, and independent from the Kings of France.

The Languedoc takes its name from the Langue d’Oc, or Language of Oc, and is the same as the Occitan language, and interestingly was at one time understood and celebrated throughout most of educated Europe.

The Languedoc was also a home of the Cathars, a peaceful gnostic people.

In our historical narrative, the Cathar Crusade, also known as the Albigensian Crusade, took place in this part of France between 1209 and 1229, at which time the highly-spiritual Cathars were brutally massacred in a campaign initiated by the Roman Catholic Pope at the time and promulgated by the French Crown.

The aftermath of the Albigensian Crusade resulted in a significant diminishment in the distinct regional culture of the Languedoc and a realignment of the County of Toulouse with the French Crown.

When I was a kid, and the only oral history on my Dad’s ancestors was that they were French Huguenots, the only information available was that they were reformed Calvinists who were for some obscure, unknown reason were persecuted and massacred in France for 100 years.

My understanding now in the Internet Age is that the Huguenots were Moors and Cathars.

The Dominican Order was founded during the Albigensian Crusade by Pope Honorious III via his papal bull called the Religiosam Vitam and gave universal recognition to the order.

The Dominicans were said to have been specifically founded to examine heretics in Southern France and in Italy and they were heavily involved in historical Inquisitions.

The Cathars were definitely competent stonemasons.

The is the Cathar Castle of Peyrepertuse between Perpignan and Carcassone in the historic Languedoc region.

It was associated with the Counts of Narbonne and Barcelona.

Peyrepertuse is the biggest of the “Five Sons of Carcassone,” all situated atop promontories, which are defined as high points of land that project into this case a lowland or into body of water.

The region of Languedoc in southern France was part of the historic Catalonia which was partitioned between France and Spain, and includes the principality of Andorra.

The Principality of Andorra is co-ruled by two unelected Princes, constituting what is known as a diarchy – whoever is the Catholic Bishop of Urguell and whoever is the President of France.

This unique form of government we are told has existed since 1278, less than 50-years after the end of the Albigensian Crusade.

So the two institutions responsible for the genocide of the Cathars, the Roman Catholic Church and the French Ruler (first monarch, now president) have held a co-rulership in an unelected position for centuries over the very land of the Cathars, and the people who live there?

Why the oppression of the Catalan people and suppression of the culture and history of this region?

I would say there are many reasons that this is the case, but perhaps one reason is that there is a very strong tradition here that this was the part of the world where Mary Magdalene was said to have gone after the crucifixion of Jesus, that Jesus and Mary were husband and wife, and had children.

Is this the driving force behind the brutal animosity towards the people of this land, and the desire to control it in perpetuity?

Or is there even more to the story that has been hidden from us?

It is particularly important to note here that “Black Madonnas” are venerated throughout Europe, including, but not limited to, by Popes.

It is there to find but we have no context for “Black Madonnas” because the picture we have always given for all of this is completely different.

There is a Black Madonna at Montserrat, a monastery in Catalonia near Barcelona nestled amidst ancient stones.

Our Lady of Montserrat is known in the Catalan language as “La Moreneta,” or “the Little Dark-Skinned One,” with the “moor” sound in the name.

Even the massive basilica in nearby Barcelona, which was credited in our narrative to its native son and architect Antoni Gaudi, and construction starting in 1882, is named “Sagrada Familia,” or “Holy Family.”

Was there another “Holy Family” besides the one that we know of implied by the name of this beautiful basilica in Catalonia, the region where Mary was believed to have gone with their children after the crucifixion?

Now I’ll turn my attention back to where this pyramid alignment crosses through Bellegarde-Marsal and bring forward a few places and features.

Directly on the alignment on the top left is “La Bastide des Vassals.”

I have red arrows pointing to where the alignment crosses over the tops of two, S-shaped bends of the River Tarn.

The “Plage du Tarn Marsal” is circled close to the alignment at the top of the second river-bend.

I have also highlighted on or near the alignment and the River Tarn, two chapels – the “Chapelle Saint-Jean-Baptiste Les Farquettes” and the “Chapelle de la Maurinie” – and three vacation rentals – the “Gite Chouquette;” the “Gite Au Bord du Tarn;” and the “Gite des Rives du Tarn.”

I will start with “La Bastide des Vassals” on the alignment.

What I could find out about this place is that it was the location of the ruins of “La Bastide des Vassals.”

Said to have been constructed between the 13th- and 15th-centuries, its remnants in a forested area include a bridge, a mill and a keep.

I find the S-shaped river bends here on the Tarn in southern France the world over, and believe them to have an important function on the Earth’s energy grid system.

In this sample of countless examples, the Tarn River here in France is in the top left; the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Australia, is in the middle; the Platano River in Honduras is on the top right; the Thames River in London, England, on the bottom left; and the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba on the bottom right.

I think the shapes of these river-bends relate to the hydrodynamics of S-shapes that the Austrian scientist Viktor Schauberger was studying.

Viktor Schauberger was a pioneer in the field of water and energy research in the early 20th-century, and specialized in the flow of water and natural energies.

Between 1928 and 1935, he worked on developing a device for the production of living water, water with an enhanced structure and necessary minerals, and described the motions of this water flow energizing water.

Conversely, he believed that modern industries destroy healthy water, including the processes of municipal water treatment plants, which decompose healthy water.

I highlighted the “Plage du Tarn Marsal” that is close to the alignment at the top of the second river-bend.

The Plage de Tarn Marsal is a popular beach and recreational area on the bend of the river.

I have also highlighted on or near the alignment and the River Tarn two chapels and two vacation rentals, and what I would like to share about these four places is the old stone-building style found throughout this region, though I have consistently found churches of all kinds along this alignment.

In the next screenshot, we come to where the alignment leaves southern France and enters the Gulf of Lion in the Mediterranean Sea.

There are a few places that I would like to highlight in this location: the Maguelone Cathedral; Villeneuve-les-Maguelone; and where the site of the Ancient fou de la Digue d’arret du Chenal Sud got my attention.

First up, the Maguelone Cathedral.

It was said to have been sold as national property during the French Revolution and designated as a historic monument in 1840…

I find it highly noteworthy that the massive Maguelone Cathedral, said to have been constructed in the 11th-century…

…is located on this tiny strip of land, called an isthmus, in the middle of what is called “Etang de L’Arnel,” or “Pond of the Arnel,” which is separated by the Mediterranean Sea’s Gulf of Lion by a narrow strip land consisting of several beaches.

This is like what we saw on the western coast of France where the alignment enters Europe at Le Porge Beach on the Medoc Peninsula, where there is also a long, narrow coastal strip of beaches, dunes, ponds and lakes down the coast, and the same things are found all along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, with the example on the top right of Great Egg Harbor on the New Jersey Shore.

The tiny strip of land upon which the Maguelone Cathedral sits in the middle of a narrow “pond” is opposite from the present-day town of Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, which translates in English to the “new city” pertaining to Maguelone.

La Porte de Maguelone, or the Maguelone Gate, sits by itself on the end of the isthmus where the Maguelone Cathedral is located.

This is what I found when I was looking for more information on the lonely Maguelone Gate.

The Rhone-to-Sete Canal pointed out by the red arrows, separates the “Pond of the Moors” and “the Pond of the Arnel” above the canal, and the “Pierre Blanche Pond” and the “Pond of the Prevost” below it.

We are told that construction of the Rhone-to-Sete Canal started in the 17th-century and was finally completed in 1808.

It brings to mind of the examples I provided earlier in this post of places that appear to be sunken rivers, like the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic ocean.

This is a very watery location for such a huge undertaking as building a sophisticated engineering project like a canal, especially starting in the 17th-century.

It runs for 61-miles, or 98-kilometers through wetlands, from Beaucaire on the Rhone River to Sete at the edge of the “Etang du Thau” or “Thau Pond,” where it connects with the previously-mentioned “Canal du Midi.”

Again, we saw the same manifestation earlier in this post on the Medoc Peninsula with the “Canal des Etangs” running along the coastline in the same kind of wetland environment, and said to have been completed in 1864, linking Lake Hourtins and Carcans at its northern end, through Lake Lacanau with the Arcachon Bay at its southern end.

The “Chemin du Pilou,” or “Path of Pilou” crosses between the “Pond of the Moors” and the “Pond of the Arnel” and over the canal in order to get to the Isthmus from land where the Gate of Maguelone and Maguelone Cathedral are found.

The “Chemin du Pilou,” or “Path of Pilou,” today is a bridge which can be used by those on bicycles, skateboards, or on-foot to get across.

It is also what is called a “bascule bridge,” as it swings upward to provide clearance for boat passage.

Bascule bridges, and other types of lift, and/or swing-bridges were quite common as railroad bridges at one time in our history, like this example from the second-part of this series still in use by the Norfolk Southern Railroad across the Ablemarle and Chesapeake Canal near the Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia mentioned earlier in this post.

And while there is not a train on rails there today, there is what is known as the “Petit Train du Pilou,” or “Small train of Pilou,” to take you from the bridge to the beach in the summer season.

There is a rail service at the nearby Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, which runs along the Mediterranean coastline and connects to other rail-lines in southern France.

The original city of Maguelone at this location was one of seven cities, along with Elne, Agde, Narbonne, Lodeve, Beziers and Nimes, in a region known historically as “Septimania.”

One of the names for the star cluster of the Pleiades is the “Seven Sisters.”

I found a depiction of the Pleiades and compared it with a map of these seven cities in southern France to see if a case could be made that they constitute a star map, and I think there can be.

There is a signficant evidence that the original advanced civilization built everything on the Earth as a mirror of the Heavens, from ancient to modern times.

I will address this subject again when I get to Egypt, the Great Pyramid and the Giza Plateau.

Just a few more things about Maguelone that I would like to bring forward.

While the name “Maguelone” sounds kind of like “Magdalene,” we are told its meaning is a varation of the Latin “Margarita,” or “pearl.”

But there are some other intriguing references found in the area that indicate a connection to Mary Magdalene.

One is that the hill on which Villeneuve-les-Maguelone is situated on is called the “Mount of the Madeleine.”

“Madeleine” is the name in French used to refer to Mary Magdalene.

Hold this thought for a moment because now I am going to go over to the nearby coastal region of the Camargue in the two arms of the Rhone River Delta, and is a wetland area of salt marshes and lagoons cut off from the sea by sandbars, like we have already seen in this post along coastal areas.

The Camargue region is known for its pink salt lakes, flamingos, and horses.

Before I get to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the capital of the Carmargue, and its significance, I would like to highlight the “Ancient fou de la Digue d’arret du Chenal Sud,” that I mentioned earlier near this part of the alignment; “Le Phare de L’Espiguette,” and Fort de Peccais.

I found out that the “Ancient fou de la Digue d’arret du Chenal Sud” was the location of a former lighthouse that was said to have been constructed in the 19th-century.

And just like we saw where the alignment enters the western coast of France, right next to where the former lighthouse was located is a current lighthouse, the “Phare de L’Espiguette,” situated amidst the dunes of the “Pointe de Espiguette,” which is a vast dune system on the coast that is 11-miles, or 18-kilometers-long.

It was said to have been built in 1869.

Both of these lighthouse locations are close to Fort de Peccais.

The location of Fort de Peccais is hard to get to where it is on a bad road in the salt marshes, which we are told it was built to guard the salt flats in the 14th-century because it was a source of taxation of the king.

It is located in a bend of the watercourse going around it.

It also has canals on both side of it…

…and wetlands all around it.

So with regards to the nearby city of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the capital of the Carmargue, the point that I would like to bring forward is this.

The name of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer refers to Mary Magdalene, Mary Salome, and Mary of Clopas.

These three women were closely linked to Jesus, and at the time of his crucifixion, the first witnesses to the empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus.

Subsequently, they escaped persecution in Judaea by travelling across the sea in a boat, and living out the rest of their lives in the Camargue.

The Roma people of southern France, also known as gypsies, venerate Saint Sara-la-Kali, or “Sara the Black” in the Romani language, a black madonna whose statue is in the Church of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mar, and is famous throughout the world as the patron saint of gypsies.

While Christian theologians tend to identify her as an Egyptian handmaiden to Mary Magdalene, her actual identity remains a mystery.

But there are all these intriguing connections showing up on a long-distance pyramid alignment between the between Egypt and Mexico.

I have one more screenshot on this location before the alignment leaves France that I would like to share, and that is one that shows another airport, the Montpellier-Mediterranee Airport, a short-distance to the northeast of the alignment.

This particular airport is a commercial airport, as well as being the location of the French Civil Aviation University.

We are told aircraft first landed here at this location in 1938, and that in 1944, the German Luftwaffe used it, but which led to United States Air Force sorties bombing it several times that year during World War II.

Now the alignment enters the Gulf of Lion.

Like the Bay of Biscay off the coast of western France, the Continental Shelf extends far into the Gulf of Lion, with the depths close to the shoreline being quite shallow, where as we have already seen much of which is composed of ponds, lakes, lagoons, and salt marshes, and the offshore underwater canyons slope rapidly to great depths to the floor of the Mediterranean Sea.

Also like the Bay of Biscay, the Gulf of Lion is known for its extreme weather, with sudden violent cold and blustery winds known as the Mistral and the Tramontane that threaten boats and ships, as seen here off the coast near the port city of Marseille.

Like I said earlier in this post, I believe what are called “Continental Shelves,” which are found all along the Earth’s coastlines, are actually submerged landmasses and ruined land from this recent cataclysmic event which destroyed the Earth’s original energy grid, along with creating land features like estuaries. wetlands, deserts and dunes.

This belief is at odds with the official explanation, which is that of a worldwide Great sea level rise as a result of melting glaciers from the last Ice Age and the expansion of seawater as it warms, and both are due to global warming.

“The Principles of Geology” were published by Sir Charles Lyell in three volumes between 1830 and 1833, in which he presented the idea that the Earth was shaped by the same natural processes that are still operating today at similar intensities, and as such a proponent of “Uniformitarianism,” a gradualistic view of natural laws and processes occurring at the same rate now as they have always done.

This theory was in contrast to “catastrophism,” or theory that Earth has been shaped by sudden, short-lived violent events of a worldwide nature.

As a result of Lyell’s work, the glacial theory gained acceptance between 1839 and 1846, and we are told during that time, scientists started to recognize the existence of ice ages, and do to this day.

Sir Charles Lyell’s books on “Uniformitarianism” and “Ice Ages” in geology became the only accepted model taught by Academia.

Another one of the bedrock foundations of modern science are the accepted scientific theories of Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift that are closely connected to the gradualistic view of natural laws and processes occuring at the same rate now as they have always done in the Uniformitarian worldview of Sir Charles Lyell.

In 1915, Alfred Wegener, a 1905 graduate of the Humboldt University of Berlin that produced the great scientists and scholars of our day, published “The Origins of Continents and Oceans,” in which he theorized that Earth’s continents move or drift relative to each other over long periods geologic time, and that the continents were once joined together in a large landmass “supercontinent.”

So apparently the idea that at one time there was one large supercontinent is not in dispute.

The issue is when and how the continents separated: slowly and over geologic time vs. suddenly and catastrophically.

And once again, Academia supports Uniformitarianism without question as the only explanation for what we see in today’s world.

And even though initially Wegener’s theory was not accepted by Academia because there was not a proposed mechanism, the Continental Drift theory was later incorporated into Plate Tectonics, the scientific theory that Earth’s lithosphere is comprised of a number of large tectonic plates that have been slowly moving for 3 – 4 billion years, and this is what we are taught today.

Let’s take a look at that particular subject here in the “Mediterranean Sea.”

The literal meaning of “Mediterranean” from the Latin “medius” and “terra,” is “middle” and “earth or land.”

So it would be translated into English along the lines of “Middle Earth” Sea.

I really think there was more land than water here at one time in Earth’s history, and not the “sea” we see today.

When you search for the term “Middle Earth,” it’s mostly the work of J. R. R. Tolkien that fills up the internet search page.

When you plug “Midgard” into the search engine, you get that “Midgard” is the abode of Human Beings in Norse Mythology, and the “middle realm” that is situated in the branches of Yggdrasil, the world tree. that provides the “Axis Mundi,” the “Axis of the Universe” that connects all realms.

Also, we are told the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, a country on the Mediterranean Coast of North Africa, is in the exact center of the Earth’s landmass.

Marseille is located on the edge of the Gulf of Lion, where it meets the Mediterranean Sea, and is a major port city.

We’ve already seen that the continental shelf extends for a long distance into the Gulf of Lion before coming to the offshore underwater canyons that slope rapidly to great depths to the floor of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Cliffs of Marseille primarily refer to the steep limestone cliffs of Calanques National Park that plunge into the Mediterranean Sea, bearing in mind that most of the coastline of the Gulf of Lion is composed of ponds, lakes, lagoons, and salt marshes.

This exact same manifestation of cliffs next to the sea or ocean is found worldwide, looking like land just violently broke off from the landmass.

Here are a few of countless examples.

The sheer cliffs along the coastline of Hengam Island in the Persian Gulf’s Strait of Hormuz on the top left, compared for similarity of appearance with the sheer white cliffs of Dover on the coast of southern England on the top right, and the cliffs along the southern coast of Australia in Victoria State where the Great Ocean Road runs for a long distance next to a sheer cliff, and showing the location of the 12 Apostles, the name given to what are called “limestone stacks” in the water off Port Campbell.

When the word “sheer” is used to refer to a cliff, it means a high area of land with a very steep side.

One of the meanings of the word “shear” spelled with an “a” is to break off, or be cut off, sharply.

A synonym of the word for “sheer cliff” is “bluff.”

Another meaning of the word “bluff” is a deception, or an attempt to deceive.

Like the star forts and batteries on small islands we saw earlier in this post in the Bay of Biscay in the Pertuis d’Antioche straits on and around the Ile d’Aix and the Ile d’Oleron…

…the Chateau d’If is located on the small island of the Ile d’If, which is 7/8th of a mile, or 1.5-kilometers offshore of Marseille.

It was said to have been built in the 16th-century, and later served as a prison until the end of the 19th-century.

Malta in the Mediterranean Sea, located between Sicily and the coast of North Africa, is one place on the Earth that I can think off the top of my head that is known for its mysterious “cart ruts” leading into, and under, the water.

And that’s exactly what they are referred to as ~ “ruts.”

Ruts are defined as “a long, deep track made by the repeated passage of the wheels of vehicles.”

Like the ruts you encounter on unpaved roads.

Just leaving all this here as something to think about, along with everything else.

Bundabah is 97-miles, or 156-kilometers to the northeast of Sydney on the east coast of Australia.

The photo from Bundabah on the left shows what appears to be megalithic stone work going downwards into the water that is visible at low tide, like what is found in Malta.

As found everywhere else, the continental shelves of Australia are broad and shallow, and extend out for quite a distance from the landmass before reaching deep waters.

Here’s a photo of what appears to be something man-made going down in to the water in the Torres Strait Islands, a group of at least 274 small islands between Australia’s Cape York and New Guinea.

Now back to the pyramid alignment where it goes through the Mediterranean Sea.

In this part of the post where the alignment crosses over land in southeastern Corsica; across the toe of the boot of the Italy near Sicily; and goes right by the western edge of the island of Crete, I am going to look at these places more generally rather than at specific places on the alignment like I have been doing across France because there are some noteworthy points of information I would like to bring forward about these places.

First, Corsica.

The island of Corsica is one of the eighteen regions of France.

It is separated from the coast of Italy to the north by the Ligurian Sea; from Italy to the east by the Tyrrhenian Sea; to the west of it is the Mediterranean Sea; and just to south of it is the larger island of Sardinia, one of the twenty regions of Italy.

Like what we have already seen along coastlines, the bathymetry of the Ligurian Sea region includes a continental shelf and steep underwater canyons rapidly sloping down to the seafloor.

The floor of the Ligurian Sea is characterized as featuring active erosion and sediment mass landslides, particularly in the canyons.

Eddies are common features off the northwest coast of Corsica in the Ligurian Sea.

Eddies are circular currents of water, and in this location typically have an intermediate size range of 20 – 50-kilometers, or roughly 12 – 31-miles, and caused by the interaction with the water flow, seabed, and other currents.

The example shown here is of an anticylonic eddy that is 12-miles, or 20-kilometers from the coast with a radius of 10-miles or 16-kilometers.

Anticyclonic eddies rotate in athe opposite direction of the prevailing winds in their hemisphere.

What we are told about Corsica in the accepted modern scientific paradigm is that it was formed about 250 million years ago with the uplift of a granite backbone on its western side.

Then about 50-million years ago, sedimentary rock was pressed against this granite, forming the schists on the eastern side.

It is the most mountainous island in the Mediterranean, and called a “mountain in the sea.”

Corsica is separated from Sardinia to the south of it by the Strait of Bonafacio, which has a width of 6.8-miles, or 11-kilometers at its narrowest point.

The flag and Coat-of-Arms of Corsica have a single Moor’s Head on a white background.

The flag and Coat-of-Arms of Sardinia is virtually identical to that of Corsica, except it has four Moors’ Heads on a white background separated into quarters by a red cross.

Interesting that there is information like this to be found tacitly in flags, because otherwise we have no information about the true identity of the ancient advanced, Moorish civilization missing from our collective awareness.

The one thing I will mention about Sardinia here is that it is known for its Nuraghe, the main type of ancient megalithic edifice found here.

While they are called tower-fortress-type structures, these too have astronomical alignments.

The only time I have specifically done research on Corsica in the past was for the “Advanced Engineering of Reservoirs & Hydro-Electric Projects – Part 2 Europe, Africa, Asia, and the South Pacific.”

In Part 1 of this two-part series, I looked at reservoirs and hydroelectric projects in Canada and the United States.

In both parts of this series, among other things, I brought forward their characteristics of advanced engineering which do not fit our historical narrative.

I looked into what Corsica has in the way of dams and reservoirs because I was intrigued that it showed up on this map of the dams and reservoirs on rivers in Europe, and found out there are a lot more in Corsica as well than one dot on the map would indicate.

Here is a listing of dams and reservoirs in North and South Corsica.

Here are some examples of what is found in South Corsica:

The Tolla Dam in the Prunelli Gorge was said to have been built between 1958 and 1960.

It is a concrete, curved gravity, and hydroelectric dam, and impounds the Prunelli River.

There is also the L’Ospedale Dam, which supplies drinking water to the very southern part of Corsica.

Here is L’Ospedale Lake, with its submerged tree stumps.

…and all part of L’Ospedale Massif, and massifs are defined as compact groups of mountains containing one or more summits…

…where we also find waterfalls like this one on the top left that looks like what we see on the Hawaiian Island of Molokai on the top right; on the island of Agattu, one of the westernmost islands in the Aleutians, on the bottom left; and the Mandhab Kunda waterfall, one of the highest in Bangladesh.

I have found the same style of waterfall in different places all pver the Earth, around the world, from, from small to large.

I believe that waterfalls were an integral part of the Earth’s original energy grid.

I explored this subject in depth in my blog post “Of Railroads and Waterfalls and other Physical Infrastructure of the Earth’s Grid System.”

https://piercingtheveilofillusion.com/2023/06/09/of-railroads-and-waterfalls-and-other-physical-infrastructure-of-the-earths-grid-system/

There is also at least one balanced rock found at the L’Ospedale Massif, examples of which are also found all over the Earth, like the Kummakivi Balancing Rock in Finland.

Napoleon Bonaparte was the most famous son of Corsica in our historical narrative, where he was born in 1769, in Ajaccio, the capital and largest city of Corsica.

Ajaccio is located just a short distance northeast of where this alignment enters Corsica, as is the Napoleon Bonaparte Airport, also highlighted by a yellow box in this screenshot.

It is significant to note that the historic Ajaccio Citadel, also known as star fort, and lighthouse are situated right next to the Gulf of Ajaccio…

…and that there was an historic rail network on the island, including lines that run along the coast, as well.

Napoleon rose to prominence in the French Revolution that took place between 1789 and 1799, and led a series of military campaigns across Europe during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars in the years between 1796 and 1815.

The Napoleonic Wars were a series of major conflicts between Napoleon’s France and a fluctuating array of European coalitions betwee 1803 and 1815 across continental Europe before Napoleon and the French Empire was ultimately defeated.

More often than not Napoleon is portrayed with his right-hand tucked into his waistcoat, which is a well-known Freemasonic handsign signifying “Master of the Second Veil and the easiest way to identify whether or not a historical figure was a Freemason.

Napoleon was crowned “Emperor of the French” in 1804.

Napoleon’s historic presence was significant in the region of the Mediterranean Theater of the Napoleonic Wars and I will share some examples of my findings of this from my past research of alignments as I go through the region.

I’ll say here before I continue that I believe that Napoleon and the Napoleonic Wars were major players in the early years of the reset of our historical narrative for the New World Order, which was built upon the recently ruined Old World, and set the stage the justification for taking the land of other nations after he lost who had been pro-Napoleon; for the rise of the modern nation-states and the British Empire, as well as for the future world conflicts and wars between nations.

I also believe, like with other wars and conflicts of our modern era, what we are taught was going with them on was far different from what was really happening.

For example, the Congress of Vienna was said to be one of the most important international conferences in European history.

It was a meeting of ambassadors of European states held in Vienna in Austria between 1814 and 1815 in order to remake Europe after the downfall of Napoleon.

The stated goal was to re-size the main powers so they could balance each other and in this way remain at peace, and not simply to restore old boundaries.

As a result of the Congress of Vienna, France lost all of its recent conquests, while Prussia, Austria, and Russia made major territorial gains.

Most of the discussions took place in informal, face-to-face sessions among the ambassadors of Austria, Britain, France, Russia, and sometimes Prussia, with limited or no participation by other delegates.

As such, the so-called Congress of Vienna never met in plenary session, which means a session in which all members of all parties are able to attend

Next, I am going to look at the Tyrrhenian Sea.

It is bounded to the west by Sardinia and Corsica; to the north and east by the Italian Peninsula; and to the South by Sicily.

It is named for the Tyrrhenian people, who were identified with the Etruscans of ancient Italy.

The Etruscans are a bit of a mystery in our historical narrative, but we are told that they were known for their advanced civilization in Italy until it was supplanted by Rome in the first-century BC.

And there is polygonal megalithic masonry found throughout Italy that is identical to that found in other places all over the Earth, like in this example of Peru.

Polygonal masonry, also known as cyclopean masonry, was a construction technique where large polygonal stone blocks of irregular shapes were joined together seamlessly without mortar.

The bathymetry of the Tyrrhenian Sea is varied and complex, with continental shelf areas, abyssal plains, tectonic movements, volcanic seamounts and volcanic island chains.

The pyramid alignment heads across the Tyrrhenian Sea and enters into the toe of the boot in the Calabrian region of Italy, right beside the Aeolian Islands, which are a volcanic group of islands that are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The seven main inhabited islands of the Aeolian Islands are Lipari, Salina, Filicudi, Alicudi, Panarea, Vulcano, and Stromboli, along with smaller uninhabited islands and rocky places found here as well.

These seven volcanic islands cover an area of 620-square-miles, or 1,600-kilometers-squared, and there is a series of underwater volcanoes as well, the formation of all of which are attributed to volcanic activity over 260,000-years.

The Aeolian Islands rise from the Tyrrhenian Basin, which is characterized as a sedimentary basin, in which subsidence has occurred and thick sequences of sediments have accumulated to form layers of sedimentary rock.

Of the seven main islands, two have active volcanoes – Vulcano and Stromboli.

The last eruptions of the volcano on Vulcano Island took place between 1888 and 1890.

The volcano on Stromboli, however, has erupted many times and is constantly active with minor eruptions, giving it the nickname “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean.”

What we are taught is that these places with above-water and underwater volcanoes, called “hotspot tracks,” are regions of the Earth’s mantle where magma arises from within the Earth and forms volcanoes on the crust above when a tectonic plate moves over a stationary plume of hot mantle material, or hotspot, deep within the Earth.

The bedrock foundations of our modern scientific paradigm, referring to the solid rock foundations that our scientific worldview is founded upon and the only one that has been taught to generations of students in our educational systems and not to be questioned, can be summarized follows.

So this carries over directly into what the accepted science of our day tells us causes volcanic activity, and earthquakes for that matter – that it’s connected to active tectonic settings where tectonic plates move or interact, like in subduction zones where plate boundaries meet.

Everything perfectly, neatly, and nicely explained in one package.

Now I am going to show how these hotspot tracks might have a different explanation, and that they are quite possibly representatives of a once-existing world-wide system of Giant Trees that were connected to each other by magma streams and hydrothermal systems on the Earth’s energy grid system instead of the standard explanation we are given by the modern scientific paradigm.

I am going to start with Jules Verne’s classic 1864 novel “A Journey to the Center of the Earth,” in which the central figure, Professor Otto Lidenbrock, an eccentric German scientist, had reason to believe there were “volcanic tubes” that reach the center of the Earth after reading an original runic manuscript of an Icelandic saga and a note he found in runic script from a 16th-century Icelandic alchemist saying it was possible by journeying down the crater of Snaefellsjokull, a large stratovolcano in Iceland said to be one of seven great energy centers of the Earth and an entrance to Inner Earth.

The professor, his nephew and an Icelandic guide rappel down the Snaefellsjokull crater and find themselves in a strange underground world where they contend with many dangers, like caverns and rockslides, an underground river, an underground world with an ocean, a vast ceiling with clouds, and a permanent, light-giving aurora.

They eventually left this subterranean world via a volcanic chimney that ejected them from the Stromboli volcano in the Aeolian Islands, and there is a distance of 2,374-miles, or 3,821-kilomter between Stromboli and Snaefellsjokull.

Next, a look at Athanasius Kircher, Sir Isaac Newton, and Alexander von Humboldt.

Athanasius Kircher was a German Jesuit who published somewhere around 40 major works of comparative geology, religion and medicine.

In 1665, he published the “Mundus Subterraneus,” depicting Earth’s geography through text and drawings, and attempts to describe the structure of the Earth from a physical and chemical standpoint.

He delved into such subjects as oceanic currents; volcanoes; thermal springs; and mineralogy and mining.I believe that Jesuits like Kircher were deeply-involved in the revisionist history and science that gave us what we are taught in school today, and which covers up the True History of the Earth.

This illustration from “Mundus Subterraneus” seems to be showing trees on a grid pattern connected by a root system exploding simultaneously.

If that is actually what this is depicting, it would account for why we don’t recognize them as giant trees any more.

Around the same time that Athanasius Kircher was publishing “Mundus Subterraneus,” Sir Isaac Newton had his initial breakthroughs with his foundational law of gravity in 1665 and 1666.

We are told that Sir Isaac Newton had been developing his theory of gravity as far back as 1665, and that in 1666, Newton famously observed the falling apple upon which he developed his foundational law that gravity is universal, incorporating the idea that Kepler’s Laws must also apply to the orbit of the moon around the Earth and then to all objects on Earth.

In 1609, the German astronomer Johannes Kepler had published his “Laws of Planetary Motion,” in which he described the orbits of planets around the sun, and his work further backed-up the now-only-accepted Copernican model by the scientific establishment of the Earth spinning on its axis in a heliocentric universe.

Kepler’s work was said to have improved the 1543 model of Copernicus by introducing more defined terminology for the orbits of the planets around the sun instead of just saying that’s what they do.

Then in 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published his “Principia,” in which he combined his own laws of motion with new mathematical analyses to explain Kepler’s empirical results in the form of a law of universal gravitation in which any two objects are attracted by a force proportional to their mass and inversely proportional to their separation squared, further codifying these scientific explanations.

The scientific study of the Earth’s magnetic field is called geomagnetism.

Our current scientific paradigm tells us that the Earth’s magnetic field is generated through a process known as “geodynamo” by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of a mixture of Earth’s molten iron and nickel in Earth’s outer core and connected to the Earth’s rotational axis.

Next, Alexander von Humboldt was a Prussian naturalist and explorer who had the one of the world’s pre-eminent universities in the study of Natural Sciences in the 1800s and 1900s named after him and his brother Wilhelm, the Humboldt University in Berlin.

Famous faculty and alumni of Humboldt University included such famous names in our current historical narrative, besides the previously mentioned Alfred Wegener of Continental Drift fame, include: the theoretical physicist Albert Einstein; Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, c0-collaborators on “The Communist Manifesto;” Otto von Bismarck, first Chancellor of the German Empire; Georg Hegel, whose philosophy gave us the “Hegelian Dialectic” of Problem-Reaction-Solution; and the Brothers Grimm, best-known for their fairy tales such as “Little Red Riding Hood and “Hansel and Gretel.”

Alexander von Humboldt is considered one of the founders of the science of geomagnetism, having studied in great detail the systematic change of magnetic field strength with distance from the equator and initiated synchronized magnetic field observations across the Earth, and he made significant contributions to the charting of the Earth’s geomagnetic field, measuring isodynams between 1790 and 1830.

The definition of isodynam, or isodynamic, is connecting points on the Earth’s surface that have the same magnetic intensity, as opposed to geodynamic, the study of dynamic processes and forces within the Earth occurring on a large-scale and affecting the Earth’s crust, including mantle convection and plate tectonics.

I think Alexander von Humboldt was measuring what was left of the Earth’s magnetic field at former giant tree locations, and we have been given an incredible amount of false science to cover everything up.

More on this in a moment.

Around the same time Alexander von Humboldt was mapping and measuring isodynams, and the same time the Napoleonic Wars were taking place in Europe, major explorations around the world were taking place, like between 1801 and 1803, Capt. Matthew Flinders led the first in-shore complete navigations around mainland Australia…

…and the Lewis and Clark Expedition between 1804 and 1806.

I believe these explorations and others that took place primarily from the beginning of the 1800s to around 1850 or so were of a post-cataclysmic world, in which different European countries were engaged in exploring and claiming landmasses for their respective countries, and also remote islands and island groups all over the Earth that were actually the remnants of giant trees and sunken landmasses, and annexing them as “Overseas Countries, Territories and Outermost Regions.”

As a result of this process of colonization of the entire surface of the Earth, seemingly insignificant islands and island groups were the subjects of territorial disputes between countries, most of which are still on-going in the present day.

All of these places and islands are viewed as highly-coveted prizes, and as a critical part to nation-building plans.

Why?

I definitely think there is much more to the story that we are not being told, especially with regards to the once-existence of giant trees on Earth that were integral to the Earth’s grid system, and the reason has been deliberately hidden from our view.

I have come to believe as a result of my research that the giant trees were generating the Earth’s magnetic field, and not the “geodynamo” process accepted by mainstream science connected to the interaction of the Earth’s rotational axis with the molten iron and nickel in the Earth’s outer core.

I believe this is why volcanoes and seamounts are on Airline flight trackers, and are for navigational purposes and not for entertainment alone.

I gave the example earlier in this post of finding information about magnetic declination for “San Luis Tecuautitlan” in Mexico, a town on Cerro Gordo-Tonantépetl which is an inactive volcano, and that this information is necessary for the navigation of aircraft because it determines the angle between true north and magnetic north at a specific location on Earth.

And I can’t help but wonder if the Athanasius Kircher illustration on the left and the imaging map of the Earth’s hotspots on the right are connected to each other.

There is one more thing about the Aeolian Islands that I want to mention here.

The islands are named after Aeolus.

Aeolus was the keeper of the winds encountered by Odysseus in the Greek poet Homer’s “Odyssey.”

Zeus, the chief deity of the Greek Gods, gave Aeolus the ability to still or rouse whatever wind he wanted to.

Aeolus was the king of Aeolia, described as a floating island surrounded by a “wall of unbreakable bronze” where the “cliffs run up shear.”

In the Odyssey, King Aeolus gave the warrior-king Odysseus a bag of strong winds containing all the winds except the gentle west wind on his way home to Ithaca from the Trojan War, a journey that took him 10-years, and in which he encountered many trials and tribulations.

When Odysseus and his men were almost home, his men opened the bag of winds thinking the bag contained treasure, and instead they were blown all the way back to Aeolia, at which time King Aeolus sent them on their way with no further help.

In the Roman poet Virgil’s “Aeneid,” Aeolus keeps the winds contained in a cave on Aeolia.

I find these points of information noteworthy, about Aeolus, the Keeper of the Winds, and the Aeolian Islands because of the two cold, blustery winds I have encountered thus far just looking at the Mediterranean Sea part of this alignment that cause violent weather in the Gulf of Lion off the southern coast of France – the Mistral and the Tramontane.

Come to find out there is a whole bunch of winds that affect the Mediterranean region.

One of them, the Sirocco wind, is a described as a warm, humid Mediterranean wind that comes from the Sahara, and can reach hurricane speeds in North Africa and Southern Europe, especially during the summer months.

Next, I am going to look at the Strait of Messina, a narrow strait between the eastern tip of Sicily and the western tip of Calabria in Italy very close to this location near where the pyramid alignment crosses the Aeolian Islands and the toe of the boot of Italy.

The bathymetry of the Strait of Messina is characterized by a shallow central area around it’s narrowest point; it is marked by the Messina Canyon at the bottom; there are intense erosional and sedimentary depositional processes here; and there are strong tidal currents as well..

The narrowest point of the Strait of Messina is between the Punta del Faro in Sicily on the left, where you can see a flat surface just underneath the water and megalithic stone blocks jumbled up in the area and the Punta Pezzo in Villa San Giovanni in Italy’s Calabria region on the right.

At the most northeastern point of Sicily, where the Ionian Sea meets the Tyrrhenian Sea, Punta del Faro, or lighthouse point, was supposedly the lair of Charybdis, one of the two beautiful women who had been turned into grotesque monsters by jealous goddesses in Greek mythology.

In one version of the myth, Charybdis would partially hide herself beneath a fig tree there, and would frequently leap out into the sea in order to swallow huge quantities of water, creating a whirlpool that would suck down passing ships, and she would belch the water up afterwards.

Garofalo whirlpools, otherwise known to the world as Charybdis, are found in the Strait of Messina.

Whirlpools are caused by the interaction of opposing water currents, which create a turbulent flow that result in a rotating vortex and are known to occur where coastal and bottom configurations have, among things, narrow passages of deep depth.

They are large-scale eddies like what we saw earlier back off the northwest coast of Corsica in the Ligurian Sea.

I strongly suspect places like these examples in the Strait of Messina and the Ligurian Sea have whirlpools created by broken, craggy, underwater topography due to the presence of fractured landmasses right below the surface of our oceans and seas all over the Earth.

Just a short distance north of Calabria’s Punta Pezzo across the Strait of Messina from Sicily’s Punta del Faro, we find the Ruffo Castle of Scilla, described as an ancient fortification, and situated on a promontory in the Strait of Messina in the town of Scilla.

It houses the Scilla Lighthouse.

Scilla is also the traditional site associated with the sea monster Scylla of Greek mythology, with its location right at the entrance to the Strait of Messina.

The linguistic idiom “between Scylla and Charybdis” means having to choose between two similarly dangerous situations, like the more common idiom “between a rock and a hard place.”

This part of Calabria in the toe of the boot of Italy at the Strait of Messina was a focal point for Napoleon Bonaparte’s conquests during the Napoleonic Wars.

Napoleon’s forces conquered Calabria in 1806 and he made his older brother, Joseph-Napoleon, the King of Naples and Sicily between 1806 and 1808, who we are told, implemented administrative reforms in 1806 that abolished the ruling system that was in place here, and the Lordship of Fiumara disappeared.

Then, starting in June of 1810, we are told the new King of Naples, Joachim Murat, and the brother-in-law of Napoleon, ruled the southern Kingdom from this part of Calabria for four months, and during that short period of time he was given the credit for having built the fort of Punta Pezzo on the left; the Castello Altafiumara on the top right; and the Torre Cavallo on the bottom right.

Messina in Sicily is right across the Strait from this part of Calabria.

It is a major port city.

We are told that the Forte del Santissimo Salvatore located at the port’s entrance was built in the 16th-century.

The Stele of the Madonna Lettera, erected on the fort, was said to have been consecrated and inaugurated in 1934.

Mount Etna is located on th east coast of Sicily, southwest of the Strait of Messina.

It is located between the cities of Messina and Catania.

It is a stratovolcano that is one of the most active in the world, and is in an almost constant state of activity.

Mythology associated with Mount Etna is as follows.

Mount Etna was where Zeus trapped the giant Typhon.

Typhon was the son of Gaia (Earth) and Tartarus, a deep abyss in the underworld, known as the world of the dead, located beneath Mount Etna, used a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked, and the location where the Titans were imprisoned, the pre-Olympian gods that were overthrown and replaced by Zeus and the Olympians after a ten-year war called the Titanomachy.

Typhon attempted to overthrow Zeus for the supremacy of the Cosmos, and they fought a cataclysmic battle which Zeus won with the aid of thunderbolts, and Typhon was cast into Tartarus beneath Mount Etna.

The thunderbolts of Zeus brought to mind the “brahmastra” in the Mahabharata, a major Sanskrit epic of India, a magical weapon said to have been detonated at the end of the 18-day Battle of Kurukshetra.

A “brahmastra” was said to have been “a single projectile charged with all the power in the Universe.”

Any target hit by the “brahmastra” would be utterly destroyed; land would become barren and lifeless; rainfall would cease; and humans and animals would become infertile.

The Pandavas were said to have vanquished their enemy, the Kauravas, with the devastating weapon, but the few surviving Pandavas discovered there was nothing left to occupy, and no one left to rule.

The “brahmastra” had turned the region of what is present-day Rajasthan to desert.

Well, to support this, evidence exists that exactly this part of the world was devastated by nuclear war at some point in time.

Perhaps in ancient times like we are told, but I believe this took place much more recently in time…much more recently than we can even begin to imagine.

It is also interesting to note that the feathered-serpent imagery of Quetzelcoatl in Mexico was also present with Typhon, with his serpent lower-body and wings on his shoulders, as well as the melanated skin depicted here in this illustration.

I learned several years ago in a Megalithomania presentation by Antoine Gigal about pyramids around Mount Etna, and I am drawing from her research in the next slides about this obscure subject.

Antoine Gigal is a French writer, researcher and explorer, and the founder of Giza for Humanity who went to Sicily when she heard about 12 pyramids there.

Instead of finding the 12 pyramids she was told about, she found 23 pyramids around Mount Etna, and proceeded to literally do field research, as the pyramids were in the middle of fields.

She found pyramids of different shapes and sizes…

…like an oblong step pyramid between the towns of Passopisciaro and Francavilla, which has a standing stone…

…a rectangular pyramid between Linguaglossa and Randazzo…

…and this rectangular pyramid on Mount Etna’s north side.

In Antoine Gigal’s presentation, she demonstrates that the construction style of the Sicilian pyramids is like that of the Guimar Pyramids of Tenerife in the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, and also like that of the pyramids of the island nation of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.

The city of Catania is located at the foot of Mount Etna, and is an ancient port city.

This illustration was said to be of a 1679 eruption of Mount Etna that impacted Catania and also shows what looks to be a star fort around the city or a star city.

Just something to think about here.

Why would a major city like this be built at the foot of a known volcano, and subject to destruction by lava flows, if it has always been a volcano?

Perhaps it was a city built at the base of what was once a giant tree.

It is important to note as well that beneath the surface-level city of Catania, there are several layers of underground cities.

…and an underground river, named Amenano.

The island Republic of Malta is located in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Tunisia in North Africa.

The capital city of Malta is Valletta.

Valletta is a star city, surrounded by star forts.

Napoleon led the French invasion of Malta in 1798, which was part of the Mediterranean Campaign in the War of the Second Coalition of the French Revolutionary Wars.

The Order of the Knights Hospitallers, the rulers of Malta since 1530 in our historical narrative, surrendered to Napoleon when the French landed there.

We are told that during the short time Napoleon was in Valletta between June 12th and 18th of 1798, he did such things as reforming, among other things, national administration with the creation of a Government Commission and twelve municipalities; creating a public finance administration, and the organization of public education, and providing for primary and secondary education, all before sailing for Egypt, and leaving a substantial garrison in Malta.

All this in a week?

Why?

After the British Royal Navy destroyed the French Mediterranean fleet at the Battle of the Nile in Egypt on August 1st, 1798, the British were able to initiate a blockade of Malta, assisted by an uprising of the native Maltese against French rule.

The blockade effectively ended the French Occupation of Malta in 1800, and replaced it with British Protectorate, returning control of the central Mediterranean to Great Britain.

In the 1814 Treaty of Paris, Malta officially became part of the British Empire and was used as a shipping way-station and fleet headquarters.

Malta was also heavily bombed by the Germans and Italians in World War II from June of 1940 to November of 1942, which started the day the British Crown Colony of Malta joined the war on the side of the Allies, and Malta was one of the most intensively bombed areas doing the entire war, with over 3,000-bombing runs and 6,700-tons of bombs dropped in Valletta alone.

Now I am going to bring forward and apply information that came into my awareness when I was doing the research for the second part of this series looking at the places the pyramid alignment crosses in the United States that has a direct connection to this third-part of the series and this location where the same alignment crosses the Mediterranean Sea.

The Great Dismal Swamp is just a short distance to the northwest of where this pyramid alignment crosses over the area in northeastern North Carolina to Carova Beach in the Outer Banks, where it leaves the continental United States.

I had noticed that the Great Dismal Swamp is the location where the center line of the Pilot Mountain Wheel identified by Peter Champoux enters the continental United States at the latitude of 36-degrees, 30-minutes North, with Pilot Mountain at the center, and the New Madrid Fault on the opposite side of the wheel from the Great Dismal Swamp.

I wasn’t familiar with what the “Slave Latitude” referred to, but this is what I found out about it in a search.

The “Parallel of 36-degrees, 30 minutes” is a circle of latitude that is 36.5-degrees North of the equator, and of particular significance in the United States, especially with respect to the 1820 Missouri Compromise, which prohibited slavery in any new states formed north of this line in the Louisiana Purchase territory, and allowed slavery south of the line, and in our historical narrative, the tensions between free states and slave states was what directly led to the American Civil War.

I am going to look first at the latitude of 36-degrees, 30-minutes in what became the United States.

It was based on the Royal Colonial Boundary of 1665, which marked the border between the Colony of Virginia and the Province of Carolina from the Atlantic Ocean westward, and became a boundary for several states as far west as the Oklahoma Panhandle.

We are told that by 1819, it had been surveyed as far west as New Madrid, Missouri, and the location of the “Kentucky Bend.”

This would have only been seven years after the New Madrid earthquakes.

The “Kentucky Bend” is considered an exclave, or part of, Kentucky that is entirely surrounded by the states of Missouri and Tennessee, that is defined as an “Oxbow loop meander” of the Mississippi River.

The Kentucky Bend was developed as a major cotton-producing area due to its highly productive soil in the river’s flood plain.

It is perhaps best-known for the New Madrid Earthquakes, three of which in the winter of 1811 and 1812 were said to be the largest earthquakes ever recorded in the United States.

The first large one took place on December 16th of 1811; the second one on January 23rd of 1812; and the third large one on February 7th of 1812.

Descriptions of what happened during the first one included rolling ground; uprooted trees; huge chasms opening up and swallowing whatever was above; the Mississippi River flowing backwards; and general pandemonium from frightened people.

We are told that the series of earthquakes in the New Madrid region dramatically affected the landscape, causing bank failures along the Mississippi River; destroying entire communities; causing landslides along the Chickasaw Bluffs in Tennessee and Kentucky; large tracts of land subsiding on the Mississippi flood plain; and liquified subsurface sediment spread over a large area at great distances.

Liquefaction was described as widespread and severe.

Sand blows, described as large sandy deposits resulting from an eruption of water and sand to the ground surface, formed over an area of 4,015-square-miles, or 10,400-square-kilometers.

The St. Francis Sunken Lands Wildlife Management Area in northeastern Arkansas today was said to have sunk during the New Madrid earthquakes, turning once fertile and abundant landscape into a swamp.

These descriptions are actually a snapshot of what I believe took place across the entire surface of the Earth through the deliberate destruction of the original energy grid.

When I was looking into the parallel of 36-degrees, 30-minutes North,when I was researching it for the second leg of this pyramid alignment in the United States, there were several places it passes through that caught my attention in this part of the world that pertain to this alignment.

The same parallel that goes through the Great Dismal Swamp, Pilot Mountain in North Carolina, and the historical location of the New Madrid Earthquakes that devastated the region and created places like the St. Francis Sunken Lands Wildlife Management Area in northeastern Arkansas, goes through the Mediterranean Sea region just south of Sicily, and just North of Santorini, as well as other island groups in the Aegean Sea.

In this screenshot of this part of the alignment, I have Sicily highlighed on one side of the alignment where it goes through the last area of focus in the Mediterranean Sea, and the island of Crete highlighted, with its western edge touching the alignment.

Santorini is just north of Crete in the Cyclades islands, and Rhodes is to the east of Crete in the Dodecanese islands.

Both of these places are in the South Aegean Sea.

Santorini is the largest island of a small circular island group formed by the Santorini caldera, a large, mostly submerged caldera, located 75-miles, or 120-kilometers, north of Crete.

It is the most active volcanic center in the South Aegean volcanic arc, the formation of which in the modern scientific paradigm was caused by plate tectonics, and the movement of plates like the African, Eurasian, Arabian Sea, and Aegean Sea plates.

Santorini is noteworthy in our historical narrative for having been devastated by the Minoan eruption, which has been dated to the year 1,600 BC.

It destroyed Akrotiri on Santorini, as well as communities on nearby islands and the coast of Crete with subsequent earthquakes and tsunamis.

The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) for it was 7, and was one of the largest volcanic events in human history.

The precise date of the eruption has been fiercely debated by archeologists and volcanologists for decades, with no definite conclusion.

The Akrotiri Lighthouse on Santorini was said to have been built in 1892 by a French company.

It ceased operating during World War II, and then was recommissioned by the Greek Navy at the war’s end in 1945.

I mentioned previously that Crete is another island that I have encountered that has numerous star forts, like the example of the one in Candia, also known as Heraklion.

We are told that after the Fall of Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire in 1453, Venetians started the construction of Candia’s fortifications in 1462, and it took them over 100-years to complete it.

In today’s world, Crete is one of the thirteen-administrative units of Greece.

In the world of the past, we are told it was the center of Europe’s first advanced civilization, the Minoan, from 2,700 BC to 1,420 BC.

The island of Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese Islands

Historically, Rhodes was famous for the “Colossus of Rhodes,” one of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.”

It was said to be a statue of the Greek god Helios, the god who personifies the sun, and constructed in 280 BC to celebrate the successful defense of Rhodes city against an attack from a Macedonian king.

It was the tallest statue in the ancient world at 108-feet, or 33-meters, -high, until an earthquake toppled it in 226 BC, only 54-years later.

This same 36-degree, 30-minute parallel north also crosses the island of Kandelioussa, a small, uninhabited island in the Dodecanese island group.

Kandelioussa does have a lighthouse on it though, said to have been operating from 1890, and built by the French company of Ottoman Lighthouses.

As a matter of fact, the Greek lighthouse network is considered one of the largest, densest and more organized in the world.

Interestingly, the Germans destroyed most of the lighthouses in the Aegean Sea during World War II, leaving 28 operating ones out of an original 400.

Here’s the Tourlitis lighthouse in the Aegean Sea, looking like land it was on is missing.

It was said to have been built in 1897 off the coast of the island of Andros in the Cyclades.

According to the information I found in an internet search, this region of modern-day southern Greece was a one time known as the Kingdom, or Realm, of the Morea.

Known as the Morea until the 19th-century, it was said to have been conquered by the Venetians from the Ottoman’s in the Sixth Ottoman – Venetian War between 1684 and 1699 in the Aegean Sea.

It is important to note that Napoleon was in this part of the world known today as the Ionian islands, of which there are seven main islands, and located northwest of Crete off the coast of the Greek mainland in the Ionian Sea.

The Ionian Islands were said to have become part of the Venetian Republic in 1500 A.D., also known as La Serenissima, or Most Serene Republic of Venice, described as a sovereign state and maritime republic.

Interesting to note, the location of Venice is in coastal wetlands that include salt marshes, mud flats, reed beds and seagrass meadows.

The famous city is situated on 100 small islands in the Venetian lagoon on the Adriatic Sea, with no roads – just canals, and it is well-known that Venice is sinking.

Then in 1797, the Treaty of Campoformio was signed by Napoleon Bonaparte and Count Philipp von Cobenzi, as representatives of the French Republic and the Austrian Monarchy respectively, ending the first stage of the French Revolutionary Wars between France and Austria.

This treaty disbanded and partitioned the Venetian Republic by the French and the Austrians, and the Ionian Islands were awarded to France.

At that time, the Ionian Islands became the short-lived French Department of Ithaque, as it fell to the Russians in 1798, and was officially ended in 1802.

Between the years of 1800 and 1807, the Ionian Islands were known as the Septinsular Republic under Russian and Ottoman rule after the Russian/Ottoman fleet defeated Napoleon Bonaparte.

Then in 1807, Napoleon signed two agreements in the town of Tilsit in what was Prussia in East Germany, one between Emperor Alexander I of Russia, and the second treaty was signed with Prussia, and the Ionian Islands were returned to France, becoming a French Protectorate.

Then, in 1809, the British blockaded the Ionian Islands as part of the war against Napoleon, in September of that year, hoisted the British flag on the island of Zakynthos, with Kefalonia and Ithaca soon surrendering. The British installed provisional governments here.

The Treaty of Paris of 1815 recognized the United States of the Ionian Islands, and established them as a British Protectorate.

One last place I would like to bring to your attention here is Antikythira, a small island in the Aegean Sea, located near the island of Crete at the Kythira-Antikythira Strait, where the waters of the Mediterranean Sea enter the Gulf of Crete.

Antikythira is noteworthy for the discovery of the Antikythira Mechanism, reported to have been found in a shipwreck off the coast of the island in 1901.

The Antikythira Mechanism is the oldest known example of a mechanical computer, dated to about 87 BC, and could be used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance.

Now, I am going to pick up the pyramid alignment where it enters Egypt across a coastal strip just a short distance west of the Western Harbor of Alexandria.

The exact location where the alignment enters Egypt looks very much like the coastal strips seen all along the coasts of this alignment on both sides of the Atlantic, like the coastline of southern France…

…the coastline of western France…

…the coastline of North Carolina where the alignment leaves the United States at Carova Beach near the Great Dismal Swamp…

…the Gulf coastline of western Florida around where the alignment enters the United States at the Sunnyside Beach and Tennis Resort in Panama City Beach…

…and the Gulf coastline where the alignment leaves Mexico at Tuxpan de Rodriguez Cano on it’s way to the United States.

The Pharos of Abusir is located to the west of where the alignment enters Egypt, marked by the red dot, and the historic location of the Pharos of Alexandria was located to the east of it, in the city’s Eastern Harbor, which is adjacent to the Western Harbor.

The Pharos of Abusir is located at the ruins of an ancient temple on the shore of Lake Mariout, and what we are told about it is that it was an ancient replica of the famed Pharos of Alexandria.

Another name for Abusir is “Taposiris Magna,” or the “Great Tomb of Osiris.”

There is also what is called a temple or shrine of Isis at the ruins of Abusir.

Abusir is located on the shore of Lake Mariout, also known as “Lake Mareotis,” on the western edge of the Nile Delta, and is described as a “brackish” lake, meaning that it has more salinity than freshwater, but not as much as seawater.

We are told that at the beginning of the 20th-century, the lake covered 77-square-miles, or 200-kilometers-squared, and had a navigable canal, and that at the beginning of the 21st-century, the lake covered 19-square-miles, or 50-kilometers-squared.

In my recent blog post “Finding Osiris – In Search of the Missing Moors and their Highly Advanced, Ancient Civilization,” I took an in-depth look at the Osiris Myth, from the perspective that it is an allegory for what happened to the Moors, whose advanced civilization was completely wiped from our collective memory, their history fragmented into a million pieces, and then re-written into a false historical narrative and how we came to the world we live in today, which is very far from our original evolutionary path.

The Osiris Myth concerns the murder of the god Osiris, primeval King of Egypt whose lineage stretched back to the Creator of the World, Ra or Atum, and the consequences of Osiris’ murder.

Osiris’s murderer, his brother Set, usurped his throne.

Osiris was connected with life-giving power, righteous kingship, and the rule of Ma’at, which was the ideal natural order whose maintenance was a fundamental goal in ancient Egyptian culture.

Set was closely associated with violence and chaos.

And, again from an allegorical standpoint, the world we have been taught about and have been living in today is representative of Set’s association with violence and chaos.

Finding Osiris – In Search of the Missing Moors and their Highly Advanced, Ancient Civilization

One version of the Osiris myth’s similar story-lines, at a banquet, Osiris was lured into getting into an elaborate chest made by Set that only fit him.  The lid of the chest was then slammed shut, and the chest containing his body was thrown into the Nile River. 

Later on in the story, Set steals the body of Osiris after it had been found, dismembered it, and scattered his body-parts across Egypt.

His Queen Isis finds the dismembered body parts and puts his body back together again and posthumously they conceived Horus.

Horus became Set’s rival for the throne, and ultimately triumphs over Set, restoring the cosmic and social order of Ma’at to Egypt and completes the process of the resurrection of Osiris.

Osiris represented the “Third-Eye” in ancient Egyptian spiritual schools, also called “The Eye of Osiris.”

The “Awakening of Osiris” refers to the process of awakening and becoming consciousness itself, which is the full activation of the pineal gland and super-consciousness mind, a process all Human Beings have access to if they know about it and desire to attain it.

The two serpents in this illustration of the “Staff of Osiris” with the pineal gland at the top depict kundalini energy, which represents our life-force energy.

The starting point for the journey on this pyramid alignment was the Quetzelcoatl Pyramid in Teotihuacan in Mexico.

Teotihuacan was also known as the “place where men became gods.”

What we are told in our historical narrative was that Quetzelcoatl, also known as the Feathered Serpent, was a Deity found in many Mesoamerican religions, connected with things like the Creation of the World and Humanity, and compared to a mix of bird and serpent.

Interestingly, the symbol of a bird and a serpent for Quetzelcoatl in Mesoamerica is identical to the symbol for Wadjet, the Egyptian Goddess depicted as a Winged Serpent and closely associated with the Eye of Ra and Eye of Horus.

And both of these symbols reflect the same imagery used to depict Kundalini energy, or “Serpent Energy,” which is represented as a serpent coiled at the base of the spine.

The original advanced civilization on earth was learning how to raise Kundalini energy from the base of the spine, up to the pineal gland, and in so doing, re-connect with their Divine natures, represented by the the wings and the disk at the top of the head, or crown chakra.

Also known as the Third Eye, when activated, the pineal gland opens the door to psychic abilities and is our connection to the Divine.

Much has been done to keep the Third Eye of people from opening, including the use of fluoride in toothpaste and water which causes the calcification of the pineal gland.

As noted previously back at Mount Etna in Sicily, we saw the same imagery of the winged serpent with the image depicted of Typhon, who was cast into by Zeus into Tartarus, a deep abyss in the underworld used a dungeon of torment and suffering and the location where the Titans were imprisoned, after Typhon attempted to overthrow Zeus for the supremacy of the Cosmos, and lost cataclysmic battle which Zeus won with the aid of thunderbolts.

The famed Pharos of Alexandria on the other side of the alignment, like the previously seen Colossus of Rhodes, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Widely considered to have been the world’s first lighthouse, it was said to have been built in 270 BC during the reign of Ptolemy II.

At 330-feet, or 100-meters, in overall height, it was one of the tallest manmade structures in the world.

It was located right next to the Citadel of Qaitbay in Alexandria’s Eastern Harbor.

What we are told is that the Pharos of Alexandria was destroyed by an earthquake in 1323 AD, and that in 1994, a team of French archeologists dove in the waters of the Eastern Harbor and discovered remains of the lighthouse on the sea-floor, so more sunken infrastructure.

We are told the adjacent Citadel of Qaitbay on a rocky outcrop surrounded by water was established by the Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa’it Bay, and that remaining stones of the Pharos of Alexandria were used in the building of the citadel from 1477 to 1479.

I want to mention here two ancient stone structures I became aware of years ago in Texas that look like melted lighthouses, and compare them both to what the Pharos of Alexandria was believed to have looked like on the right.

The feature in the Palo Duro canyon in West Texas on the top left is actually called the Lighthouse, and has a twin in Big Bend National Park in south Texas, on the bottom left.

It is interesting to note that at least in the Romance languages, the word for lighthouse includes the root sound of “Far.”

In Italian and Spanish, the word for lighthouse is “Faro…”

As we have already seen in French, the word for lighthouse is “Phare.”

In Portuguese, it is “Farol…”

…and in Romanian, “Far.”

They are spelled and sound like they are related to the word “Pharaoh,” which we are told was the common title for monarchs of ancient Egypt from the First Dynasty, starting in 3,150 BC, up to the annexation of Egypt by the Roman Empire in 30 BC.

As we have already seen,  lighthouses were said to have been built by the Colonizers in the 19th- and 20th-century for the sole purpose of navigational aid and then by-and-large deactivated with some exceptions.

Perhaps “lighthouses” were literally “a house for light” for the purposes of precisely distributing light-energy through this gigantic, integrated energy grid system.

The energy grid system that existed all over the Earth was in perfect alignment with everything on Earth and in heaven.

Even the Statue of Liberty in the Upper New York Bay was a lighthouse, and served as a lighthouse from 1886  to 1902.

Perhaps “Pharoahs” were originally light-energy keepers via the lighthouses.

I gave the example of the Montauk Pharoahs of eastern Long Island earlier in this post, where there is a lighthouse on their traditional land at Montauk Point.

Back in Alexandria, Montaza Palace is further east along the waterfront from the Pharos of Alexandria location and the Qaitbay Citadel in the Eastern Harbor.

Montaza Palace was said to have been built in 1892, which was around exactly the same time as the lighthouses we just saw in the Aegean Sea were said to have been built.

The story that goes along with the Montaza Palace is that the ruling family of Egypt, Al Salamlik, had it built as a hunting lodge for the Khedive and his friends.

“Khedive” was the title of the Viceroy of Egypt under Turkish rule from 1867 to 1914.

It is noteworthy that the Montaza Palace on the top left looks identical in architectural-style to the previously seen architecture in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco, on the top right; the Bermuda Parliament Building in Hamilton, Bermuda, in the North Atlantic Ocean, on the bottom left; the example of the Arcachonnaise-style in Arcachon Bay in western France, in the bottom center; and a view of old Ouarzazate in Morocco, nicknamed “The Door of the Desert,” and is considered a gateway to the Sahara Desert.

The Mahmoudiyya Canal of Alexandria was said to have been constructed sometime under the rule of Ptolemy I Soter, which was between 367 BC and 282 BC.

Ptolemy I Soter was a Macedonian General who was the successor of Alexander the Great of Macedon, who we are told founded the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt, and turned it into a thriving center of Greek culture.

I have highlighted the name of the canal in a red box, as well as where it mentions in the graphic a “shifting shore from earthquakes, rising seas, sinking land and new construction have dramatically reshaped the ancient coast and harbors shown here.”

The Alexandria Railway Station is considered the oldest railway station in Africa and the Middle East, and we are told it was established in 1856 after the Khedive Abbas Hilmi II decided to establish the first railway line in Egypt to connect Alexandria and Cairo in 1851.

The year of 1851 was the same year as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London.

Also known as Great Exhibition of the Works of All Nations,” I have come to believe it was the official kick-off for the New World Order timeline, and it was opened by Queen Victoria.

It was attended by famous influencers in our historical narrative, like Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, George Peabody, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, and many others.

I believe that In the hundred or so years following the Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1851,these Exhibitions, Expositions, and World Fairs were showcasing the technology and architectural wonders of the original civilization before being hidden away or forever destroyed.

This was a scene at the New York World Fair of 1939 to 1940, almost 100 years later, where we still see incredibly big, what appear to be luminescent structures in the background, and in the foreground, statues much bigger than the size of the people standing near them.

The Egyptian National Railways has been in operation since 1854, and has rail infrastructure along the Mediterranean Coast and along the Nile River, among other places.

Alexandria still has an operational streetcar service.

It began operation in 1863 under horse-drawn power, and was electrified by 1902.

This alignment crosses Egypt from the west of Alexandria, along the west-side of the Nile Delta, on its way to the Great Pyramid of Giza on the western outskirts of Cairo, the capital city of Egypt.

In this zoomed-out screenshot of the location, I noticed the same distinct patterns of roadways and major highways emanating from major cities of the Nile Delta region, where two or more roadways come together to form star-shaped radial patterns or “x’s” in the landscape, that I talked about in-depth in France, the United States, and Mexico at the beginning of this post.

The cities at the centers of these patterns of the Nile Delta are Tanta; Mansoura; Mit Ghamr; Banha; and Zagazig.

Now I am going to take a quick look at them and what I can find out about them.

First, Tanta.

Tanta is a city of over 650,000 people, and the capital of the Gharbia Governate.

A major railway line comes through Tanta.

We are told that in 1856, Tanta became a stop on the railway network for the benefit of exporting to Europe the cotton from the large cotton plantations of Tanta and the surrounding area.

Tanta is also a center for the cotton-ginning and textile industries.

Next, Mansoura.

Mansoura has a population of over 620,000 people, and is the capital of the Dakhalia Governate.

It is located on the Damietta Branch of the Nile River.

Mansoura is connected to the Egyptian Railway Network via the Tanta-El Mansoura – Damietta Line.

Mit Ghamr is another city in the Nile Delta region with this distinct pattern, on the eastern branch of the Nile River.

Mit Ghamr is a major industrial zone, including, but not limited to, being an aluminum-producing center, accounting for more than 70% of Egypt’s total aluminum production.

Mit Ghamr is also served by the Egyptian National Railway.

Banha is another one of these cities.

In our historical narrative it was founded in 1850.

It is the capital city of Qalyubiyya Governate, and located between Tanta and Cairo.

Banha is a major junction in the rail network, as rail-lines from Cairo to various cities in the Nile Delta pass through it.

The last city I noticed with the distinctive pattern here in the Nile Delta is Zagazig.

Said to have been founded in the 1820s when cotton cultivation spread to the eastern Delta, it is the capital city of the Sharqia Governate with a population of around 430,000.

Zagazig is located on the Muweis Canal and is a hub of the cotton and corn trade.

Zagazig is also part of the Egyptian Railway Network.

In the next few screenshots, we are coming to our destination of the Great Pyramid of Giza, starting with El Sadat City.

In spite of El Sadat City having a dry and blown out look to it, it’s quite a busy place.

What we are told about it is this.

It is a first-generation new urban community and one of the largest industrial cities in the country.

The University of Sadat City is right on the alignment, and the Dar Misr Shopping Mall is right next to it.

So another school and another shopping center to add to the count of those found on the alignment.

Established in 2013, the University of Sadat City is an Egyptian Governmental University, meaning it is funded and operated by the Egyptian Government.

The Dar Misr Mall was the first commercial shopping mall in Sadat City, and first opened in 2018.

In addition to a variety of shops and office spaces, it has a pool with fountains right in the middle of it.

In the next screenshot we come to yet another airport near the alignment.

The Sphinx International Airport serves Giza and was first open to commercial flights in October of 2018.

It shares some infrastructure with the adjacent military airport, the Cairo West Air Base.

In this screenshot, we come to the location of the Great Pyramid, which has the Marriott Mena House Hotel and it’s golf course right next to it.

I consistently find golf courses on these alignments, and in the second part of this series, there were eighteen golf coursesthat showed up on the alignment in the United States.

“Links” is another name used to refer to golf courses, and I think that’s a clue to what they originally were on the energy grid system – “links” of some sort between the circuitry of the grid system.

The Mena House Hotel is located approximately a half-mile, or 700-meters from the Great Pyramid.

The Mena House Hotel on the left, like the Les Sources des Caudalie on the right back on the alignment in Leognan, France, is a luxury 5-star hotel, and they both have the distinctive tower design with the closely set-together rectangular windows that we have already seen in different locations on the Earth.

We are told the Mena House Hotel was established in 1886.

It has been frequented by the powerful, rich and famous throughout its history.

Up until 1851, the Great Pyramid was the Prime Meridian, located at the center of the Earth’s landmass.

Longitude fixes the location of a place on Earth east or west of a North-South zero-line of longitude called the Prime Meridian, given as an angular measurement that ranges from 0-degrees at the Prime Meridian to +180-degrees westward and -180-degrees eastward.

In 1851, again the same year as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London, Sir George Biddell Airy, the seventh Astronomer Royal from 1835 to 1881, established the new prime meridian of the Earth, a geographical reference line, at the Royal Observatory of Greenwich in London, and by 1884, over two-thirds of all ships and tonnage used it as the reference meridian on their charts and maps.

Carl Munck deciphered a shared mathematical code in his book “The Code,” related to the Great Pyramid, in the dimensions of the architecture of sacred sites all over the Earth, one which encodes longitude & latitude of each that cross-reference other sites. 

He turned his findings in “The Code” into a video series which can be found on YouTube.

He shows that this pyramid code is clearly sophisticated and intentional, and perfectly aligned over long-distances.

The Sphinx is located behind the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau, and still on the alignment.

The Sphinx was covered up to its shoulders, as seen in this 1886 painting of Napoleon Bonaparte sitting on horseback before it that hangs in the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California.

So the Sphinx needed to be dug out from the sand that surrounded it.

Other places that come to mind that needed to be dug out were on Easter Island in the southeastern Pacific off the coast of South America, where the famous heads were discovered to have bodies…

…and Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, said to have the world’s oldest stone megaliths dating back to at least 9500 BC.

Gobekli Tepe was first noted in a survey in 1963, and the site was said to have been intentionally backfilled with earth when it was mysteriously abandoned in 8000 BC.

Intentionally back-filled with Earth?

Hmmmm.

The defacing of ancient statues and monuments is quite common, with many examples of missing noses, heads and badly damaged bodies of statues.

The Sphinx in Egypt is another well-known example of this practice.

Legend has it that the troops of Napoleon used it for target practice in 1798. 

Whatever the reason, the Sphinx nose is missing. 

Why?

Napoleon himself was said to have said that history is a set of lies agreed upon.

Again why, and what on Earth are they covering up?

As I previously mentioned when I looked at the seven cities of Septimania in southern France, I found a depiction of the Pleiades and compared it with a map of these seven cities in southern France to see if a case could be made that they constitute a star map, and I mentioned I would address this subject again when I got to Egypt, the Great Pyramid and the Giza Plateau.

One thing I have long-believed is that if we knew the true history of the Earth, there would be no mysteries, but all that has been taken away from us, and we are left with things that make no sense and without context.

The Giza Plateau has been long-studied by all different kinds of researchers, and perhaps the starting point for many of us in delving into the many mysteries to be found on the Earth.

What I am sharing here are just a few of countless examples.

The Golden Ratio can be found throughout the Giza Plateau.

The Golden Ratio, also known as the Golden Number, Golden Proportion, or Divine Proportion, is a ratio between two numbers that equals 1.618, which is the value for Phi, the basis of the Golden Ratio, and found in architecture, the human body, DNA and nature, among others.

The Pyramids of Giza also correlate to the stars of Orion’s Belt.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as Khufu, correlates to Alnitak; the second pyramid, known as Khafre, to Ainilam; and the third, Menkaure, to Mintaka.

The constellation Orion was associated with Osiris, and the belt stars as the resting place of his soul.

There is significant evidence all over the world that what the original advanced Moorish civilization built on the Earth was a mirror of the Heavens, from ancient to modern times.

With regards to the same precise alignments happening in what we would consider modern times, this is a photo of Manhattanhenge, an annual event during which the setting sun or the rising sun is aligned with the East-West street grid of Manhattan on dates evenly spaced around the summer solstice and winter solstice. 

There similar alignments with the sun and street plan that occur in other major cities, like Toronto, Baltimore, Chicago, and Montreal. 

I think the ancient Moorish Civilization was the same highly-technologically advanced Atlantean Civilization that we have been told sank thousands of years ago.

I have come to believe from my research that it was a worldwide civilization that sank hundreds of years ago at the most, and not only from the evidence I have presented in this post by following this alignment between the Great Pyramid in Egypt and the Quetzelcoatl Pyramid at Teotihuacan in Mexico, but from research I have done in other places, and tracking other alignments of cities and places around the world like I have done in this series.

I believe this was a pyramid-based system that provided the cosmic energy for the Earth’s Energy grid system.

This civilization was beautiful and harmonious and every thing in it and on it was placed precisely for a reason in a perfectly-tuned scientific and musical instrument in an energy grid that was part of a worldwide free energy generating system.

I came across this photo of the Cathedral of Petropolis in Brazil several years ago, with the steeple emanating a striking blue glow.

Petropolis was a German-colonized mountain town 42-miles, or 68-kilometers, north of Rio de Janeiro.

Interesting to note that the first cinema in the world was said to have opened in Petropolis in 1897, showing the Lumiere Brothers first films.

The Lumiere Brothers had premiered ten short films in Paris on December 28th, 1895, considered the breakthrough of the technique of motion picture photography, and marking the beginning of using moving pictures to shape our world-view and turn our collective experience into one of virtual reality.

This video clip of a steeple in Poland spontaneously activating with blue-energy recently showed up on one of my social media feeds.

Steeple-like towers have been systematically-removed from historical buildings all over the world.

This one near where I live in Prescott, Arizona, is just one of countless examples.

We are told it was built as a Catholic church starting in 1891, and that the steeple was removed in 1930 after having been “struck by lightning” several times.

Today it is the Prescott Center for the Arts.

This free-energy grid and its beautiful advanced civilization was destroyed unbeknownst to us because it was removed from our history, and replaced with a very cruel, resource- and energy-harvesting system and occulted timeline that benefited the few and has caused untold misery and unimaginable suffering for all life on Earth.

The parasitic and multi-dimensionally aware beings behind all of this want us to believe that suffering, sickness, misery, destruction, death was and is our normal state of being, and not question what we have been taught about who we are.

They are the only ones who benefit because they energetically feed on Humanity’s negative emotional states, at the same time they have sucked up all the wealth and energy of the Earth for themselves.

I think Earth was one landmass until the energy grid was destroyed by massive directed frequency and energy attacks, and the destruction of what was a perfectly-resonant scientific and musical instrument was heightened by a domino-effect that caused everything on the grid to go haywire, and the surrounding landmasses sank, or turned into swamps, bogs, barrens, or deserts and dunes, both in coastal regions and inland.

I mentioned earlier in this post that the 1905 Humboldt University graduate Alfred Wegener published “The Origins of Continents and Oceans” in 1915, in which he theorized that Earth’s continents move or drift relative to each other over long periods of geologic time, and that the continents were once joined together in a large landmass “supercontinent.”

So again, the idea that at one time there was one large supercontinent is not in dispute.

The issue is when and how the continents separated: slowly and over geologic time vs. suddenly and catastrophically.

And once again, Academia supports Uniformitarianism, also known as Gradualism, without question as the only explanation for what we see in today’s world.

Let’s take a closer look at things that are found on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Atlantis Massif in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is described as a prominent mountain mass in the North Atlantic Ocean.

It is roughly 10-miles, or 16-kilometers, across, and about 14,000-feet, or 4,267-meters, in elevation where it rises from the sea-floor.

Its highest point is only 2,297-feet, or 700-meters, beneath the surface of the ocean.

It is slightly east of the intersection of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Atlantis Transform Fault in the Atlantis Fracture Zone.

A Transform Fault is defined as a fault along a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal.

A Fracture Zone is defined as a linear feature on the ocean floor over a long-distance that we are told is caused by plate tectonics.

The word “fracture” itself is commonly associated with the “Breaking of a hard object or material.”

As we know, fractures can happen suddenly as well, not only as a slow gradual process over time.

Among other things, the Atlantic Massif is particularly noteworthy for a feature called the “Lost City.”

What we are told about “Lost City” is that it is a hydrothermal vent field that was discovered by a crewed, deep ocean research submersible named DSV Alvin owned by the U. S. Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in December of 2000.

DSV Alvin is supported by the RV Atlantis, a Research vessel that is also owned by the Navy and operated by Woods Hole.

You’d think they might be interested in trying to find the lost Atlantis or something like that.

In conclusion, I think we have been so deceived that we don’t even know we’ve been deceived!

Not only that, the deceivers have even convinced us to worship them!

Towards the end-goal of deceiving us completely, we’ve been given a false narrative to explain how everything came into existence…

…false science to completely fool us as to the nature of this reality…

…an economic and legal system that has unknowingly enslaved us all…

…and an endless supply of addictions and distractions to keep us from seeing a thing, and not only that, we don’t even think it.

I am going to end here with these thoughts.

I am of the firm belief that this is not our future but there is a lot of evidence in what I am sharing here that there are more questions than answers to be found in everything we have been taught about the world we live in.

My findings, and interpretations of them, that I have shared in this series are based on several years worth of researching places, people, and our historical timeline, in addition to all the things I have found along the way between the Quetzelcoatl Pyramid in in Mexico and the Great Pyramid in Egypt

But no matter what happened here and how it happened, the Truth about our world has been deliberately removed from our collective awareness so we would not know it in order to exploit and control us for the benefit of the very few.

All of this has directly brought us to the strange world we live in today, where everything is turned upside-down and inverted, and what we are told to believe by the Establishment nowadays makes no sense and they don’t care about Humanity in the slightest except for what they can take from us.
