Who Really Discovered America? Part ONE Revised 8/2/21


Forward

Many years ago when I first contemplated this particular subject, I recall as I read through the many documents/books pertaining to Columbus coming to America including his own translated Journals, something just wasn’t right, call it a gut feeling which is how all of my theories have started, many of which I have taken to the point of high probability even proven beyond a doubt, making it factual to at least myself.

The following topic of Columbus discovering America or did he discover America has long been proven to me through research that he most certainly did not. However the question has come to this topic, Did Columbus “Accidentally” RE-discover what had already been discovered hundreds or even thousands of year prior and was very well known by the European Royalty?



The other question that has come as a result of these efforts is, what is it specifically that causes certain groups to obscure this information and keep it from the general public which would seem to be an open and obvious act seeming to have begun in the mid 1800’s.

As of yesterday I felt confident I had enough information to begin this write-up, but by the end of the day and with my meticulous research tactics and findings, at the end of the day, I was ready to scrap the project due to seeming correct documented evidences, in fact this morning I decided or felt compelled to pick up on another research project pertaining to the ancient Geographic’s of the Yucatan Peninsula, when I stumbled upon something that offset my reasons for near giving up  yesterday, funny how things work, It is things such as this that tells me I am on the right path… I need to pay more attention to that “gut feeling”…

Smithsonian, established on August 10, 1846
"for the increase and diffusion of knowledge,"

I believe that Smithsonian started out with a good and noble cause, but when E. G. Squire and E. H. Davis took over, they changed that motto to “for the increase of the denigration and destruction of knowledge”

The Research…

When I write an article it is usually based upon a long period of study concerning the very topic of the article or a closely related topic. As a habit however, I do like to get the orthodox thinking side of it all just prior to writing an article, and a simple search of the internet will clearly show the many who seem to regurgitate each other’s opinions and usually based upon the regurgitation of opinions of some Smithsonian puppet. Each of you should try this, go to your favorite browser search window and type “Who Discovered America” After reading many of the articles you will quickly see what I mean. The point being, after reading the many perspectives are you really any wiser? I for one have found that rather than sifting through the garbage, I can get my answers as to what the orthodox world believes by simply going to Wiki…  I for one really don’t care who the people think discovered America, It would seem in the race between Columbus, Leif Eriksson, and the Chinese, Leif is slowly taking the lead, but I have some terrible news for all of them….

If there is one thing all perspectives can agree upon, when each of the claimed discoverers made their landing, from shore, someone was peeking through the bushes at them. Why is it we take the inhabitants obviously occupying the Americas longer than these glory mongers family names have existed, and remove them from the very status of being a man? Are we placing them in the same category as the animals discovered on this land when whoever arrived? NONE OF THEM discovered America!

Before I end this rant, try this, go to your choice of browsers And type in “History of the Americas, Wiki” “Voyages of Christopher Columbus Wiki” or any related choice of words, and you will find what appears to be a very well put together article of presumed facts, now scroll to the bottom where you will find a very impressive list of references, 30 or more, now look at the dates of these references of which you will find, not one written before 1900, in fact most are written within the last 20 years! And almost NEVER will you find among the references, the original source material for the subject at hand…  In fact you can research any of the books listed in those references, obtain a copy and also in that book find an impressive list of references, and they too will be a list of books written within the last 20 years of that books publication! The point being is, those who write our wiki articles and the like writers, are  regurgitating what has already been regurgitated many times over, I seriously doubt that any of the referenced writers in the wiki articles nor those who contributed to the articles, have ever themselves read the original source material for the topic! This period of our history I call, of course, the Regurgitation Period.


Did Columbus discover America?

Let’s start with who didn’t discover America, Columbus, and regardless of what the many writers have regurgitated, I am not convinced that Columbus did not know where he was going and what he was looking for. I am not convinced he thought he was looking for the Indies as in below Japan and China. Did he “accidentally” find America? This part of the now orthodox belief came in during what I call the delusion or indoctrination period. This period began after the formation of Smithsonian and peaked around 1900, and lives on to this day. This is a period in which many translations of old documents took place, you see, now that the English speaking people can now read these old Latin, Spanish etc… documents, those who wish to keep their little secrets now have to take this newly available knowledge and tell us new readers what the writer[s] were “actually” saying… because they couldn’t have possibly meant what they said! I just assume they figured we were just too damned stupid to understand.  I think I’ll stick to original source material…

Someday perhaps I will go into the many reasons why I say Columbus likely knew not only where he was going but what he was looking for, but one only need read his Journal and letters to see, but only if you have a broad perspective of past and present events. In the many exploration documents when you read the many that do exists, you begin to see patterns. One such pattern is whenever they encountered something new, something they have not seen before, a new tree, a fruit, vegetable or animal, they describe it as best they could, smell, appearance, apparent usage etc… and compare to some existing thing in a short commentary. (See Columbus Exploration Documents AJ-061- 069 at americanjournys.org )

An example of this would be the discovery or first time it had been seen by Europeans on the 4th day of November 1492, is the Sweet Potato, the Batata or what is described in one of the more credible translations, The people have plenty of roots called zanahorias, (Yams or Sweet Potato’s) with a smell like chesnuts ; or in another example wherein the translator removes the word zanahorias and inserts the nonexistent word of “mames” (Carrots) when the written word is clearly zanahorias from the presumed original text why do they do this? The point being here is that Columbus and those with him, had no idea what these zanahorias were and offered commentary to describe what they were seeing for the first time.

The opposition to this little occurrence is they day after they arrived at this new found land. One translator again purposely replaces the obvious word calabazas (Pumpkins) with the word calabashes (Gourdes) and also mentioned in this 13th of October entry is Papagayos (Parrot) but in both cases, there is no commentary nor a description given and why? Because these two items mentioned were well known by Columbus and his expedition team, but how could this be if the Pumpkin and Parrot were not known until after the Europeans discovered America? How is it, an entry is made the very day the parrot was first seen using the name which according to the etymology derives from Byzantine Greek from the Medieval period. Papagas, meaning Parrot, a bird which would not be known for another 1000 years?

Another curious mention and apparent attempt to deter you from the truth is a mention of Gran Can and the translators lead you to believe this is a reference to the Great Khan of China and one even goes a step further suggesting Kublia Khan, a Chinese emperor. However no word was used implying “Kublia,” except maybe “Cami” found later in the document. Had there been or not, I would have and do suspected the Maya city Culiacan or the serpent deity, Kukulkan, or the Kan or Kaan Dynasty of the Maya, the Mayan Snake Kings, something our earlier delusionists did not know about…

There are many statements within the documents that could sway the thinking one way or the other, but before I am convinced, I would like to hear some explanations as to why Columbus or those with him had previous knowledge of Parrots and Pumpkins, known since the early Byzantine period?

Letters of Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli




 The “speculative” Re-Constructed Map of Toscanelli sent to Columbus?


I am not sure what to make of the controversial letters from Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli to Columbus prior to his voyage which many delusionists  presume was very instrumental in his agenda. I have not yet decided what was intended but I am certain the delusionists had their hands in it… It is said that the map sent to Columbus was destroyed, yet on the internet floats a supposed reconstructed map, how do you reconstruct that which was destroyed? Who added the names?

Academics would have you believe the letters were written with the intent to give a better course to China? But at the same time discredit the letters suggesting they are a hoax? Can someone please make up your mind?

From Wiki we have:

In 1439, the Greek philosopher Gemistos Plethon, attending the Council of Florence, acquainted Toscanelli with the extensive travels, writings and mapping of the 1st century BC/AD Greek geographer Strabo, hitherto unknown in Italy. Nearly 35 years later, the Italian was to follow up this amplified knowledge.


There was no mention of China or Asia at the council of Florence. How could Strabo be unknown it Italy?

 In 1474 Toscanelli sent a letter and a map to his Portuguese correspondent Fernão Martins, priest at the Lisbon Cathedral, detailing a scheme for sailing westwards to reach the Spice Islands and Asia. Fernão Martins delivered his letter to the King Afonso V of Portugal, in his court of Lisbon. The original of this letter was lost, but its existence is known through Toscanelli himself, who later transcribed it along with the map and sent it to Christopher Columbus, who carried them with him during his first voyage to the new world…


Of course this letter was lost or conveniently misplaced but why does the academics use Fernado Martins to make their points but at the same time claim he never existed? (see Toscanelli and Columbus by Henry Vignaud 1902) Incidentally, there is no mention of Spice Islands, Asia or China for that matter in the letters of Toscanelli.

From one of the letters to Columbus from Toscanelli… (Concerning the voyage)

…But you will not be able to understand it thoroughly except with experience or discussion, as I have had most fully, and good and true information of mighty men and of great learning, who have come from the said regions here to the Court of Rome, and of other merchants who have long trafficked in those partsmen of great authority.

Who could he possibly be talking about? I can’t help but reflect to the many Kings of authority who on their crusades, came to the Americas such as the Roman Colonies of 700 AD to about 1000 AD. I can’t help but wonder about the Indo Greeks not long after they sacked India and pilferage their sacred libraries and discovering their maps and their charted course who coincidentally came to the Americas in about 100 BC after said sacking, all according to the information given on the once pronounced hoax artifacts of the Tucson Lead Crosses, how convenient. However those over zealous individuals were too hasty in their speculative effort to discredit the artifacts. It is now well known to those who seek truth today due to GOOD SOUND research and testing and NOT ignoring the original studies of the artifacts that they are indeed genuine regardless of “resent studies” which is always presented with no citation of what these so called “recent studies” are.

With this said, giving full credibility to the Tucson Crosses telling the story of Roman colonies coming to the Americas, their MUST be corroborating evidence of which there is… abundantly…

My wife finds the following in the The History of Gruffydd ap Cynan 1883 by Arthur Jones concerning Prince Cynan listed # 4 in the genealogy of the Tucson Lead Crosses…

Cynan may have died fairly soon after the birth of their son Gruffydd, as the 13th century History of Gruffydd ap Cynan details Cynan's ancestry but omits him from its account of Gruffydd's youth. Instead, Gruffydd's mother tells him about his father and the patrimony he should claim across the sea.

I am pretty sure that “across the sea” did not mean the 50 mile stretch between Wales and Ireland.



I wonder what this Patrimony was, and across which sea? This was around 1020 A.D. Do you recall the words shown on the Granata Nova Map, Septem (Seven) ciuitatum (cities) and Patria? (Native land; home, native city; one's country) Patrimony or Patrimonium (Inheritance) In the case of Prince Cynan ap Iago the Rhodan, would this be his mother telling him about the land of his fathers, the land of the seven cities he is to inherit? Was she suggesting this to be his native land?

Another recent verification brought to me by my friend, fellow critic and skeptic is the testimony of Moctezuma himself in his discourse to Cortez as they were going through days and days of negotiations, and recorded by Conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo in his Memoirs, and who was sitting there when it was given…. From those memoirs, written originally in 1568 Page 393 (Footnote # 50) Moctezuma is quoted as saying:


This Monarch that Moctezuma mentions can be only one of two possibilities based on this information and other sources, and I offer no excuse… King Arthur, around 500 AD, or Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl, otherwise know as Iago ap Idwal Prince of Gwenydd, King of the Britains (Saint Iago, or Jacob, Santiago), and…

*11th  G Grand Father of Henry Sinclair of the Knights Templars, who is my 17th G Grand Father…
*5th G Grand Father of Robert de Bruce,
*2nd G Grand Father of Prince Madoc,
*Great Grand Father of King Owain of Gwenydd, King of Wales,
* Iago ap Idwal is also the 14th G Grand Son of King Arthur.
Those mentioned in the historic text of the Tucson Lead artifacts are also of and within this linage…


Cartographers of the past

When you open up and broaden your perspective concerning the many informational conflicts found in our history, things that never made sense, strange artifacts that just don’t fit, delusionists written conflicts and obvious attempts at explaining what the first authors of America “really meant,” everything starts to fall into place. Things which made no sense begin to make sense…

What are we to make of the many cities which appeared upon the maps of the 1500’s to 1700’s? Why would dozens of cartographers from different countries and different time frames list cities on their maps that no one ever found? Lakes no one ever made it to? Documenting things on their maps, features they could not have known? How about capturing the very likeness of a highly sought after lake which none of the earliest documented explorers NEVER FOUND! and it just happens to be a near mirror image a supposed very ancient lake but geologist today tell us that it existed 33 Million years ago! How is this possible?




So I am to understand that since the last voyage of Columbus in 1503, an Italian Explorer acting in the name of Spain and who was said to be directed by documents from Portuguese, who according to history never made it to the mainland, followed by Juan Ponce de Leon in 1513 who landed in Florida and charted some of the coastline, and few others, that all the details of the maps to shortly follow were created?  Ponce de Leon is also known for searching for the Fountain of Youth, supposedly told to him by the natives, a corrupt version of a true story and likely was intended the waters of eternal life if you are listening…. But of course it is easier for the writers of Wiki or the delusionalist in which their information derives, to just call it a myth rather than to understand where this seeming ridiculous idea came from, besides, It might shed light on the... myth? of the Waters of Mormon located not to far north of where he was supposedly told of it, but we can't have that now can we?

Not to long after Ponce de Leon, others made their way into the interior of today’s northern Mexico and New Mexico, Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, Don Antonio de Mendoza, Frier Marco de Nica, and a few others, but it is said that Francisco Vázquez de Coronado was the first to reach into the more Northern Territories but this is not true. Coronado even lays claim to naming the city of Granada. Marco de Nica is the first to mention the cities of Tontonteac (today’s Pueblo Grande of Nevada), Acus (Axa) Ceula and Marata (Today’s Pueblo Grande) and I find no mention in the many exploration documents of the other cities noted on the curious earliest maps, Tignus, Chuhuco and the seven unnamed cities surrounding the nonexistent lake Copala, where did these notations come from?

Looking at the two supposed earliest maps, Americae Sive 1562 said to be the first of California, and another, the Mercator map of 1569 of which I find this notation translated from the old Latin…

The second object at which we aimed was to represent the positions and the dimensions of the lands, as well as the distances of places, as much in conformity with very truth as it is possible so to do. To this we have given the greatest care, first by comparing the charts of the Castilians and of the Portuguese with each other, then by comparing them with the greater number of records of voyages both printed and in manuscript. (Gerard Mercator, Nova et Aucta Orbis Terrae descriptio ad Usum Navigantium Emendate Accommodata) [Did anyone catch that word Manuscript]




Atlan, Atlan-tis, Avalon, Aztlan, what ever, 
I suppose it just depends on what neck of the woods yer from eh?

What charts of the Castilians and Portuguese? What “greater number of records of voyages both printed and in manuscript” is he talking about? It would seem I have gone way off track from Who discovered America?


Septimania, A Historical Fiction in France

Lets talk about the seeming fictitious land and country of Septimania said to have be located in Southern France. As we research the History of Septimania, said to be “a historical region in southern France” I can’t help but wonder if the history that has been written regarding this place, hasn’t been written in the wrong place and in fact outright fabricated.

Septimania (French: Septimanie, IPA: [sɛptimani]; Occitan: Septimània, IPA: [septiˈmanjɔ]; Catalan: Septimània, IPA: [səptiˈmaniə]) is a historical region in modern-day south of France. It referred to the western part of the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis that passed to the control of the Visigoths in 462, when Septimania was ceded to their king, Theodoric II. [SEE the Text of the Tucson Lead Crosses] Under the Visigoths it was known as simply Gallia or Narbonensis. Septimania territory roughly corresponds with the former administrative region of Languedoc-Roussillon that merged into the new administrative region of Occitanie. Septimania passed briefly to the Emirate of Córdoba, which had been expanding from the south during the eighth century before its subsequent conquest by the Franks, who by the end of the ninth century termed it Gothia or the Gothic March (Marca Gothica).

Before I get the reader completely lost, the message I am trying to convey in this part, is that all that has been written concerning “Septimania” this supposed region is southern France, may be true in many respects, but it is looking very much like Historians have purposely placed Septimania in the wrong place, even on the wrong continent, just as they have and in conjunction with with the “Western Roman Empire” which is the Americas, the “mythical” Avalon, and Shambahla. If they didn’t know where it was, why didn’t they just call it a mythical place like the others? 

As I read through the text of the Tucson Lead Crosses, the histories of the Toltec, Aztec, Britain, Wales not to mention FRENCH History, and search through the many old maps in my collection the idea just keeps coming up that there was no “Septimania in Southern France or at least not to the tune in which history has written. The only old world maps that have surfaced showing Septimania, are as a result of modern time views based on misunderstood written history and have their origins in the early 1900’s. I did find one map of the 16th Century that does give some credibility to the existence of Septimania as being a land in France at some time, no wait... I didn't.  I believe that secrecy regarding the wealth found in the west or the Americas was for keeping it from other nations, and what is this strange belief that that has developed of a few hundred years that no one since the days of Noah who built a large boat, could have possibly sailed to this continent until Columbus came?

Strangely enough in searching the etymology of the reference "Septimania" it was beginning to seem as though it was indeed created to take from its true origins to verify this you would think someone in history had talked about Septimania especially Histories of Britain, France and Spain? I knew there was a good reason to collect thousands of books of original source material... and in searching these digital OCR files, no one seams to mention anything about this place supposedly existing in southern France except one particular book author of 1835 whom ironically is an author many of the Scoular's after in the late 1800's and even today try to discredit while at the same time use him as the excuse as to where Joseph founder of the Mormon religion got much of his information from in creating said religion. In two of Josiah Priest's books he quotes the same information said to be found in the books of Diodorus Siculus which I have not yet found the reference. A Greek historian highly revered who was born in 90 BC and died in 30 BC. Do you think this guy would have had access to Takshashila "one of the first great Universities in recorded history?" What other information might he have had access to? In one of his 40 books of which 27 have mysteriously disappeared Imagine that... the quote is as follows...


Septimania in America? You mean Josiah Priest had never heard of Septimania in southern France in 1835? Imagine that... I wonder what gave Josiah that silly notion... Probably didn't have anything to do with all the early maps indicating as such, and the lack of information in 1835 of this so called Septimania in southern France... not yet created... You see, in order to near sufficiently hide knowledge of a large significant area in History, (Western America) you have to created a significant fictitious area in order to take its place.

What evidence do we have that the Americ[as], a word most likely derived from Makir/Americ or Meurig (in Welsh Genealogies), IS the Western Roman Empire which fell c. 476 and rose again in 775 AD perfectly corresponding with events according to the Tucson Lead Crosses, here on this continent, and the place where this seeming fictitious land of Septimania was? I suggest to the serious student, a reading and study of the text of the Tucson Lead Cross artifacts, and a new reading with open eyes and understanding of the Welsh history and the history of the people of Briton. Combined with these evidences we must also look at the maps of the new world as they seem to have incriminating labels which it would appear has gone unexplained, such as the following maps.




So who did discover America?

The answers to all these questions one has to take into consideration the many inconsistencies, legends of the Indigenous, seeming parallel corresponding histories, unusual archaeological discoveries that just don’t fit, 


yet support the idea of other cultures having long been visiting the Americas, but always rendered as a hoax, notations on the maps that don’t make sense and from documents of the past, biblical records, and other scriptural records from other religious groups not considered, historic accounts of places mentioned and described by the Mongolian people, people of India, the Mayan, Toltec, Aztec, Chinese, Greeks, Romans and Hebrews and most important past polar locations due to poles shifts, its effects, the inconsistencies of Radio Carbon Dating, etc etc etc.... All of these things must be taken into consideration if you want to know the truth of who discovered America and find the true history of this continent. It was well known by the various Royal families of Europe, Roman Empire, the Welsh, Italians, French, Spanish, Portuguese, India, Hebrew and Chinese as to the existence of this land, and they knew it was a promised land, a choice land, but not all knew why, but the majority did not know of the blessing pronounced upon this land by the one true God, and more importantly, the corresponding curse.

The answer to this question as to who discovered America, as we know it today is, a people who has developed into what we now know as Altai Mongolians and whose shared DNA flows abundantly in the Native American people especially in the west from North to South. Their first leader was known by name from two sources, the Mongolian legends, Moron, and from the pages of the Book of Either, and his name was Moron or Mahonri. His name by ancient tradition remains upon the first places where these people first migrated after leaving the great tower which you will find in the tops of the Altai Mountains, the village of Moron. This name is also found at the Moronguiin Khuree monastery on the banks of the river Delgermoron. Also another village many miles to the east called Mörön, in Khentii. They are the very people who the Mongolian and every Asian culture derive from, (the children of Japheth) and they came here in boats in about 2400 BC, not by a mythical Land Bridge. By their own traditions, this occurred after a catastrophic flood and the fall of a great tower where in their God confused their tongue. And even they were not the first to set foot on this land, yet were the first after this great flood.

These people knew the blessing and the curse pronounced upon this land and even though they knew it first hand, even they eventually forgot and brought the curse upon themselves, they were destroyed “as a people” but their DNA is profound and abundant in the west from the very tips of the North of this continent and to the Southern tips in South America.

“…whoso should possess this land of promise, from that time henceforth and forever, should serve him, the true and only God, or they should be swept off when the fullness of his wrath should come upon them.”

Each and every culture that has NOT kept this condition and served the one true God upon this land has been destroyed as a people… only a mixture of them remains, preserved in the DNA of the American (considered) Native People.

This write up I admit is all over the place, but this is how it is, there is so much to tell and this is such a small part. The subjects that intertwine are broad yet definitive, all having to do with each other. And then I open the can of worms with this…. 

Why is it a Promised Land? What PLACE were they looking for? And what specifically were they looking for? A good read to learn the importance of these questions and of the contents supposedly destroyed, of the Library of Constantinople, (Even from Wiki), would be of great benefit. Understanding its purpose, its contents and how and when it was destroyed lends understanding as well, who was actually responsible for its destruction, The Muslims of the Ottoman Empire or those who knew the importance of keeping its contents from them? Is this concern just as valid today? What survived intentionally and where is it now? Understanding and truth only comes when all things are considered, no matter how controversial.

For further reading to find answers, Read:

1st Kings Chapter 9:26 to 10:13 and then with Hyram in mind, King of Tyre, a friend to Solomon read at least, Ezekiel 28:12-14, and maybe even a bit more… They say we cannot know nor do we know where this Land of Ophir was, and many of the scholars of the past have made up their minds based on their unwillingness to consider and place it in Africa of all places, the default location of everything not understood or ignored… However there are some who can know, but only because they do consider… This is how it all began among the Royal descendants of King David, the knowledge and the answers to these questions which have been sought after stemming from the events of King Solomon and King Hyram, and other sources they never knew.

Massive Mine dump? Or natural slide?

Using certain tools over the last few years I have been able to locate many mine dumps of the past throughout the Uinta Mountains. How long ago each was an active mining project cannot be said at this time. Some are confirmed targets and others are awaiting verification in some manner by someone willing to go look for certain evidences.



Sometimes features similar to this are found, but none have been this massive, even the mine dump of the highly sought after Mina del Rey is dwarfed by this feature. The unconfirmed mine dump for the Mina del Rey is about the size of 5 football fields. The Mina del Rey is the primary suspect mine for which a majority of the wealth found aboard the Atoche is thought to have come from, including the Emeralds, don't make me explain that.

Profound evidence of severe open face mining is abundant in these areas and indicated on more than one old Spanish Map, indicating mining operations having existed for hundreds of years, even likely long before the Spanish era... but by whom? I think I know and it wasn't Indians. The more I learn and see the possible antiquities of these mountains, the more I understand the Utes in guarding what little land they were left with.



This feature discovered about a year ago using certain tools developed by myself, is over 3 times larger than the dump of the Mina del Rey, (About 400 yards square). If not as a result of a mining operation similar to open pit or open face mining, then what is it? I suppose a natural slide is possible but when a closer look is given considering the mass, slope, precision and other details, impossibility becomes a stronger consideration. Of the two geologists who have looked at it have both stated that "a natural slide first comes to mind," but neither has an answer as to how... Both admit however "It definitely looks man-made, but how could it be this large?" How could this occur and leave a near 100 foot depression where it came from?



I am looking for qualified individuals to visit this site along with a few other sites not far away to try and validate or invalidate this possibility.



We are just a few months away, I could use a good drone, camera and operator and a few hikers whom I will inform as to what to look for. To serious individuals I will share coordinates. 

What do I think it is? I don't know, I only know that every time I look at it, the thought comes to mind, "what the hell is this and why is it here?"

The Stripling Warrior Cave


I’m going to get a little more personal in this article than I would normally do. I hope it is taken well and not too much read into it, however this article will shed some light on why I do what I do, it is the core of what drives me and has compelled me to dig deep… to find what so many do not know to uncover, find it too difficult, or more often than not, just don’t care nor see the importance of it… they would rather hold onto their idol’s coat tail. In this article, if you are paying attention, you will find me tippy toeing into a side of me that many of you did not know, even many of my close friends, into a spiritual side of it all.

Sometime in about 1989, I was going through some of the worst times of my life, or so I thought, these were the days just following the days where in I was on top of the world and I knew exactly where I was going and what I was doing… Or so I thought… on this I will simply say by way of intended advice… be careful what you pray for.

One day I was out hiking searching the mountain which had become a favorite place in my pursuit of my sanity and what would become my new found love, the study of the Native American Petroglyphs. I had spent 3 years on this mountain alone searching every possibility I could devise. These were the humble times wherein I lost myself in the one thing that was not about me and my troubles, and it seemed to keep the gun out of my mouth.


To this day if you were to go to the Salt Lake BLM office, there are some very large books which contain USGS maps with notations and dots placed upon the maps of the many archaeological finds throughout the state, many in places you would not think. Upon a couple of certain maps are the very dots I placed upon those maps working with the BLM archaeologist of the day, Mel Brewster, a pleasant and large 6 foot 6 full blood Indian, half Paiute half Goshute.

Mel accompanied me from time to time to this mountain, to this day I believe I had found many panels, many which he had never heard of nor had anyone else mentioned before, I placed many dots upon those few maps, and I showed Mel many of the sites he had not seen. But there were just some sites I felt at the time, compelled to keep to myself for some unknown reason, and keep them obscure. These are the days where in I was learning to listen to that still small voice, which today I refer to as listening to my gut, or follow my gut, actually today I have no choice as my gut gets to anyplace I am going before I do.

One particular site I kept to myself, I had spent many weeks on, studying the glyphs trying to discern the intended meaning. It was a strange site, a site just like two others I had recently discovered, what I mean by “strange” is, there was the feeling of a presence. I knew the glyphs I was looking at was speaking of a cave, and somehow was giving instruction as to how to find this cave. After several months of trying to discover the answer I felt that it just wasn’t time, and I knew someday I would return to this site and hopefully by that time I would have better understanding. It would be 18 years later before I returned.

Sometime around 2007, I met with a friend and colleague, in talking about various projects he perked up and said, “Oh I have to tell you something”… He told me of a man who made a very strange discovery and had a very strange experience and he went to his Bishop and told him about it, and after hearing it the Bishop told him, “You need to get in touch with this guy, (Being My Friend) and tell him.

The man came to meet my friend in the mid 90’s as I recall and my friend asked him to tell his story… the story went something like this. He said he was over on the (Directions given) of a particular mountain hiking when I came across some petroglyphs. These are the very same petroglyphs I mentioned earlier, and I knew it and my ears perked up because I knew what was to follow, I knew the location, but my friend did not know this yet. The man told him after looking at the petroglyphs he hiked up further and found a small opening which was under a small white ledge, being curious and having his usual hiking items such as a flashlight he decided to investigate the small hole. He crawled in on his belly where it opened up and to his surprised he was met with some very amazing things. He said to my friend, I never knew we had anything on this continent like this… my friend ask what do you mean? He said, “There was all kinds of strange artifacts like Egyptian things, [BUT NOT Egyptian] there was weapons, armor and many other kinds of things! I just never knew” “ it freaked me out and so I hurry and started crawling out of the opening and just as I am coming out I notice these two large feet wearing sandals standing in front of me! I followed up his legs to see a large man wearing the same armor I had just seen! And he raised his hand pointing away, and told me “Go from this place and never return least ye die! You have been allowed here as a witness for others that will come!” then he says to my friend, by the way, what is a Stripling Warrior? My friend asks “why” He then says, “well he told me that he was a Stripling Warrior and that it was his commission, calling, or that he had been ordained as guardian over this contents of this cave."

After hearing this and forcing my mouth shut, I headed out after 18 years to see those glyphs again and to hike up again where I had been 18 years prior, looking for a cave. Not 5 years later I would hear the exact same story from another person who also met with the finder. I am told he has not nor will he ever talk about it again, 

Make no mistake people… And feel free to take this with a grain of salt… There is more of these things in this area than you would ever think.. The question is, why? Within 50 miles of this place has been reported, 7 cloth wrapped mummies in a cave, the largest being 7 foot 9 inches, another cave found around the 30’s said to contain “many Aztec’s" sitting in a circle, and they had their horses with them!” Several wrapped mummies in a cave near Fish Springs resting on shelves, and other things I ought not tell. Extending out 100 miles even more incredible things and 250 miles to 300 even more…

As it turns out, and I never knew it would come to this, but there are certain glyphs to look for, and in certain places… but as it would seem… has it all been for nothing, a way for me to function and keep my sanity? or for some unknown purpose not yet realized? I don’t know but I admit, I grow week in all respects… regardless, I am grateful for the experiences.

This is just another of the many types projects on my list...

Piles of Gold Bricks and the Trappers (The Sugar Loaf Gold Story)


Early Utah Trappers
And the Gold of the Red Ledges


The following is just one of the many research projects that I have accumulated as a result of 30 plus years of gathering information of unsolved mysteries pertaining the mysteries of this land, strange stories of discoveries, Mummy Caves, Caves with Unusual artifacts, implications of what can only be underground cities, Gold, Silver, and Platinum Caches left by men of the past, be it Romans, Spanish, the Confederate Underground, or some other. To this very day I am still looking for one individual or even a team to pursue that which is becoming more and more difficult for me. I have a few whom I trust explicitly, however they can hardly handle even one as a result of being roped to a job… For the most part, the majority of these projects have progressed as far as I can take them, barring new information, however the majority is at that point where in technology is seemingly the last and only resort, something I can no longer afford. The provenance of some is as good as you could hope for and some are very poor but with very compelling evidence. However the details is what will or will not convince you… Often times in these years of research I have often thought that certain projects can go no further, when out of the blue someone sends you new information. I have decided to share one of the many that some of you have heard before.


The following story has been told prior in another publication found in my good friend, Dale Bascom’s Book, Following the Legends, of which I highly recommend. The descendant of the prime story teller in Bascom’s book is my good friend David Bullock. David is the Grandson of Ben Bullock, however the story I intend to tell deals only with the core of the story, rather than the perspectives told in Dale’s book.

The basis of the story you may see at the end of this article.

My past Article with early research, PRIOR TO, “New Information”


It was about mid 2007 when my phone rang with one of my colleagues calling, asking if I had read the story of the trappers, Yes, I replied but it had been sometime. He wanted me to reevaluate the story as if it were a new and fresh story without all the perspectives of those who told the story for publication.

The first thing for me to do was to determine the possibility of the story ever happening. I would have no doubt that someone showed up in the area of Springville at the time of Ben Bullock and Bishop Koyle’s mining days, but I would seriously doubt the man’s name was actually Johnnie Rasmussen. Although it is possible to have a name of Danish or Norwegian decent and having come from Mexico, in all likely hood he was using a fake name. Having come from old Mexico as the story goes, provides but a small clue…

Having studied the contents of the journals of Ogden, Kittson, Provost, Ashley and other fur trappers, it is highly likely the event occurred as it coincides with a couple of trapping parties at the very time mentioned in the story told by Ben Bullock, keep in mind the story told I am sure was quite accurate, but only as accurate as Ben remembered It being told to him. The point being, this story is told 3rd hand… With this said and as a result, I will say, normally, I wouldn’t have given this story any consideration other than a friend asked me to investigate it. Having made the determination that it could very well have occurred, what would have been the motive for any of those passing the story along to tell a tall tale such as this? Although there are many with some very wild imaginations, and I am sure could come up with some answer to this question, I just don’t see it.

There was an event told in one of the histories recorded in the journals that “could be” a reference to the very event described by the man who came up from Mexico to search for his G Grandfathers gold discovery. If it is the same even, it would appear some embellishing was involved in the official report given by Provost.

“Etienne Provost, a Frenchman operating out of Santa Fe under Mexican license, entered Utah in 1824 by way of the Green River country. He made his way tothe Wasatch Front and very possibly may have entered the Salt Lake Valley. 
If this is so, he would have seen the lake before Jim Bridger. Provost's party was attacked by a band of Snake Indians in the fall of 1824 and most of the men were killed. Provost and the other survivors escaped and made their way to the Green River in eastern Utah, where they spent the winter at the mouth of the White River. The actual location of this attack remains unknown but is thought by most historians to have been on the Provo, Jordan, or Weber rivers.”

It would seem another location is just as fitting for this attack but this will be withheld until I find someone who has what it takes to investigate. Later in the same document it is said:

The discovery of Warren A. Ferris's Map of the Northwest Fur Country (drawn
in 1836) has shed new light on the topic and adds considerable, although not
conclusive, support to the argument that the Indian attack occurred on the
Jordan River.




Contrary to this statement, I see absolutely nothing in the Ferris Map that validates this statement, Continuing on….

Ferris's narrative states that Provost was attacked on "a stream
flowing into the Big Lake that now bears his name." This would be the "Provo"
River. The Ferris map clearly indicates that the river known to the mountain
men as the "Proveau" is the modern-day Jordan River. The fact that the attack
occurred on the Jordan River, combined with Provost's apparent familiarity
with the route through Weber Canyon to the Great Salt Lake, points strongly to
the probability that he was at the Great Salt Lake in the fall of 1824, well
before Jim Bridger tasted its salty waters.

Again I see nothing that implies that the attack took place at the Jordan River, and it certainly is not a “Fact.”

Whether the attack incident is or is not the following account of an attack is neither here nor there as my only motive in evaluating the expeditions of fur trading did in “fact” occur in the time frame given in the following story.

Without inserting the contents of the story first made public, I will give the synopsis without all of the perspectives given of those who added to the story which in and of itself is at least 3rd hand information. It is the fact that if you listen to the details given whether true or not, and you are able to find the existing places, features etc which give the story credibility, then there is a probability that the story in general is plausible.

As the story goes….
About 1913, a stranger emerges in the town of Springville going by the name Johnny Rasmussen, he begins asking questions about details regarding an old leather map he had which is presumed to have been made by his Great Grandfather and containing the clues to follow. Johnny eventually meets John Koyle of the Dream Mine and eventually Ben Bullock of the Golden Relief mine. Both entertained Johnny sharing their beliefs as to why Johnny’s map fit their area and mine, Johnny struggled with their details but being a little more convinced of Ben Bullocks location.

What Johnny, John Koyle and Ben Bullock didn’t know is that Johnny’s grandfather’s treasure cave was nowhere near their locations. All they had to do was read… carefully and pay attention to the core details… As the story went, Johnny eventually just disappeared. As far as I know, no one is actively looking for this treasure cave and I have to wonder why, It is possible to find, whether it be boots on the ground or technology, but before that happens, the correct location must be found, and even more important, the searcher has to be satisfied that it is the correct location.

The root of the story and details given in the original publication are as follows…

“The description of the treasure location was:
1. Two and one half day's ride from the south end of the salt sea and follow a river which ran northward from a large fresh water lake located in a beautiful valley southerly from the salt sea.
2. One half day ride southerly from the east shore of the fresh water lake to sugar loaf peak.
3. Sugar loaf peak south easterly above springs that make a valley at foot of mountains and supply Indian camp with water.
4. Gold tunnel about three quarters mile southerly from sugar loaf peak and high on foothills.
5. Sugar loaf gold tunnel below rusty red ledges.
6. You look to the southwest along mountain and the valley closes.

“This was all brought about in about 1825 when Johnny's great grandfather was with a trapping party in the Rocky Mountain area. It was getting along to early fall. Fur bearing animals were becoming more scarce so the trapping party held a powwow in a meadow southerly from the south end of the salt sea. (We think the Grantsville area.) This search was for future trapping streams. It was decided to separate the party into groups of three and spend about ten days to two weeks fanning out in all directions to thoroughly explore the areas for next springs trapping. Rasmussen and two companions were sent in a southerly direction following a large stream. For two and one half days they explored branching streams but kept to the course of the starting point stream as a guide line. When they entered a mountain narrow southerly from their starting point they beheld a beautiful valley with a large fresh water lake south of them. In this valley a number of streams flowed from the mountains to the east which they explored but found no evidence of beaver dams. To the south the valley closed so they engaged in following streams as far south as the canyons fed. One little stream had a beaver dam in it so they followed its course southerly toward the mountain. A sugar loaf stood out at the base of the mountain for which they were heading. They made their way through cedar trees in the valley and saw the Wickiup of an Indian camp westerly from sugar loaf. Not knowing weather the Indians were friendly or not they skirted to the north of the camp and headed for the hills. The stream they had been following was fed by many springs between the Indian camp and the mountain.

When southerly from the camp and ascending the foothills they heard and saw a party of Indians coming from the south. They forced their horses higher up the hills and through the cedar trees. One of the Indians sent an arrow which lodged in the back of one of the trappers. He hung doggedly to his saddle until they saw a badger come out of a large hole on the side of the mountain. One rider jumped from his horse and found the hole large enough for them to crawl down into a larger opening. They abandoned their horses by swatting them on their rumps. The trappers hurried down into the badger hole, pulling the wounded man down into the hole with them. It was now evening time and getting very cool. A pile of sticks and brush had been dragged into the hole by animals and from these eventually a fire was started to warm the wounded man. One knotted cedar branch made a good torch and was taken from the fire to light the cavern to its depths. Not far along the way the trappers found piles of bricks which proved to be gold ingots.



He hurried back to his friends with the news of his find and the two men ran back to look at the gold. They were very excited with the great treasure. After some discussion it was decided that the gold bars were too heavy for one man to carry without horses and the gold could not be continually hidden. When found out they had had it. Their lives would be in danger until they told where their wealth came from.

They came to the decision that the best thing would be to keep in mind the guide posts that would lead to their find until paper and pen could be had to draw a map and write a thorough description which would lead them back to sugar loaf gold. This decided they hurried back to their wounded friend to tell of their good luck but found he had died from his wound. They pulled his body back to the piles of gold bricks and completely covered his body with bricks of gold to keep wild animals from ravaging him. From fear of being discovered by the Indians the trappers waited for days before they dared venture outdoors. The hour was late, they crawled out of their treasure tunnel, and walked the long distance back to home camp on the shores of the salten sea.

It is not known how long Johnie's great grandfather stayed with the trapping party  but he kept his golden tunnel treasure of sugar loaf secret, and firmly in his mind  until he had paper and pen to make a permanent record of it.”

If the information has been handed down correctly, the fact that he mentioned "Bricks" and "Gold Ingots" rather than "bars" or other tells me this is likely NOT a Spanish Cache, it is left by some former culture and by vague information, but by common sense and reasoning, has an estimated value of 500 Million plus.

You now have all the information I had to start with, can you find the right location? I may be right, and I might not be... but I can tell you the profound evidences without a stretch of the imagination are all there...
