The copper spear tip found in Crow Wing County, Minnesota dates back to around 1500 BC. The artifact provides evidence that ancient Egyptians discovered America during the Old Kingdom and established colonies. It references historical events like the Biblical flood that occurred in the 6th dynasty, killing over 2 million people. The spear tip's design encodes information about early trans-Atlantic voyages between Egypt, North America, South America, and locations like the Azores islands. It appears to celebrate the large-scale copper trade between North America and the Old World during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut in the 18th dynasty of Egypt.
2. considered as the 5th part sticking out of the wooden pole, encoding the latitude line at 50°N.
Note, that the spear tip was found at 46°N, which is in between these main latitude lines. - In
Europe latitudes were already known c.4800 BC, as shown in the monument of Barnénez,
Brittany, France. (Refs.1,2)
Discovery of America
Both the 4th rib and the 40th latitude line encode the Fourth Dynasty when America was dis-
covered. The 5th part sticking out and the 50th latitude line encode the fifth King Menkaure
(Mycerinos, c.2580-2562 BC), who accomplished this discovery via the southern Aleutian is-
lands, at the south side of the Bering Sea, at c.50°N.
The complementary latitude line at 90-50= 40°N confirms the discovery of America in the
Fourth Dynasty. In antiquity the use of complementary latitudes was very common. - The
complementary latitude line at 90-40= 50°N confirms the 5th king Menkaure who discovered
America via the southern Aleutian islands, at c.50°N. The length of the 40th latitude line from
coast to coast across North America equals 50°, confirming it.
The holy Arctic Circle, at 67°N, is the northernmost line the Sun still shines at midwinter day
(Sun religion). The spear tip shows king Menkaure also discovered the crossing of the Bering
Strait, 1° below it, at 67-1= 66°N. So, he returned via the Upper North, 66-50= 16° above the
southern Aleutian islands. (Refs.3-6)
Atlantic Crossings
The Southern Crossing of the Atlantic starts at the Cape Verde Islands, off shore West Africa,
at 16°N (see above). Both the Nile Delta and the Mississippi Delta are located at 30°N, enco-
ding its sailing direction, with the wind and the current, 30° SSW. The three small ribs at the
bottom of the point confirm it.
The 5th part sticking out and the 50th latitude line encode the point of arrival, Cape São Rock
(the Holy Rock), Brazil, at 5°S. It shows the Southern Crossing was discovered in the Fifth
Dynasty. The two prominent ribs at the end of the hafting area encode the length of the Cros-
sing, 2 Egyptian Moiras, or 20°. It also shows the 2nd king Sahure (c.2510-2498 BC) of this
dynasty discovered the Southern Crossing.
The spear tip shows king Sahure returned from Cape Race, Newfoundland, 1° above the fin-
ding spot in Crow Wing County, MN, at 46+1= 47°N. The initial sailing direction of 20° ESE
across 2 Moiras, or 20°, to the two islands of the West Azores illustrates this Return Route,
with the wind and the current, was discovered by the 2nd king Sahure, as well. - So, this 2nd
king discovered the two southern crossings of the Ocean. (Refs.7-11)
The two prominent ribs at the end of the hafting area and the exposed tip sticking out encode
together the 3rd king Neferirkare (c.2498-2478 BC), who discovered the Northern Crossing of
the Ocean from the Shetland Islands via the south cape of Greenland to Cape Chidley, Cana-
da, at the complementary latitude of the Nile Delta, at 90-30= 60°N. As mentioned before: in
antiquity the use of complementary latitudes was very common. The three small ribs at both
sides confirm this latitude, at 90-30= 60°N.
The three small ribs at each side encode Abaco Island, northern Bahama’s, 3° below the
Mississippi Delta, at 30-3= 27°N. King Sahure of the Fifth Dynasty ruled for 12 years. So, the
3. sailing distance from Abaco Island to Bermuda, at 27+5= 32°N, equals 12 moiras, or 12°. He
was the 2nd king, confirming Bermuda, 2° above the Delta, at 30+2= 32°N.
Including the exposed tip the metal point has a total of 8+1= 9 protruding parts, confirming
the latitude of Bermuda, 9° above the holy Tropic of Cancer, at 23+9= 32°N. The three small
ribs at the bottom encode the three island groups of the Azores (the East, Central and West A-
zores), together consisting of nine islands.
The two prominent ribs at the end of the hafting area and the exposed tip sticking out confirm
the three island groups of the Azores. So, the 9 protruding parts of the spear tip encode the 9th
and last king Unas (c.2403-2370 BC), who discovered the long sailing route, with the wind
and the current, from Bermuda to the nine islands of the Azores. The two prominent ribs and
the long tip illustrate this long sailing distance of 3 Moiras, or 30°. (Refs.12-17)
Sun religion
The long spear tip has a top angle of 23° above the hafting area (Fig.1). Together with the
prominent rib and the three small ribs below these the angle of 10+10+3= 23° may be confir-
med. It encodes the holy Tropic of Cancer, at 23°N (as well as the holy Arctic Circle, at 90-
23= 67°N, mentioned earlier).
At midsummer day the Sun is there at right angles above. The slow northerly movement of
the Sun turns into a southerly movement. So, people believe in the Egyptian SunGod Ra. Far
in the east the Tropic of Cancer crosses the River Nile. It is the center of the Southern Egyp-
tian Empire, but also the center of the Sun religion. (Refs.3,4)
Biblical Flood
Then, suddenly, a huge Comet appeared in the sky. The Head of the Comet resembled Green-
land, consisting of ice and stones. The Tail of the Comet resembled the North Atlantic Ocean,
containing a huge amount of water. Note, the spear tip resembles a Comet.
The three small ribs at both sides encode Cape Farvel, the south cape of Greenland, at the
complementary latitude of the Nile Delta, at 90-30= 60°N. It shows it happened in the Sixth
Dynasty. The SW Cape of Greenland is located at 60+1= 61°N. So, it happened during the
reign of the 1st king Teti (c.2370-2338 BC). - This is correct, because it occurred c.2344 BC
(tree-ring dating).
The two prominent ribs at the end of the hafting area show it was a two-stage-event. The
width of the spear equals 0.2 micromoiras, or 2.2 cm, confirming it (1 moira= 1°= 111 km).
The three small ribs at both sides show the first time period lasted 30+30= 60 days. The planet
Earth entered the Tail of the Comet. The falling stones were causing horrible forest-fires, and
the melting ice resulted in torrential rains and worldwide floodings. It was completely dark on
Earth.
The three small ribs at both sides show the second time period also lasted 30+30= 60 days.
The Earth left the Tail of the Comet, but the climate was completely disrupted. The terrible
rains continued, but it also became very cold. So, the rains changed into ferrocious snow and
hail storms.
4. The four ribs at each side of the hafting area illustrate the Comet Catastrophe lasted for a total
of four months, or 4x30= 120 days. On the Northern Hemisphere the “complementary
latitude” of Cape Farvel, Greenland, equals 180-60= 120°N, confirming it. (Refs.18-25)
Casualties
The four ribs at each side of the hafting area encode together the East Cape of Newfoundland,
and North America, 4+4= 8° above the 40th latitude line, at 40+8= 48°N. The two prominent
ribs confirm it, 2° above the finding spot of the spear, at 46+2= 48°N. It encodes the total
world population before the Disaster: 4.8 million men.
The relative latitude of the site encodes the number of casualties: (48/90)x48= 2.6 million
men (54%). The length of the tip equals 0.7 micromoiras, or 7.7 cm, corresponding with the 7
figures of this number. The two prominent ribs and the six small ribs below them confirm it:
20+6= 26 million men. - So, there were 4.8-2.6= 2.2 million survivors. Most of them were
seriously injured.
The 5th part sticking out and the 4th prominent rib confirm the percentage of casualties: 54%.
The latitude of Groswater Bay, Labrador, at 54°N, confirms it. Cape Hatteras and the Strait of
Gibraltar, the exit of the Med, are located at the complementary latitude of 90-54= 36°N. It
corresponds to the circumference of the Earth, 36 Moiras, or 360°. It confirms it was a
wordwide Catastrophe.
The four ribs at each side of the hafting area encode together the total precipitation during the
Flood, 40+40= 80 micromoiras= 80x0.11= 9 meters of water. It corresponds with the volume
of an ice-ball with a diameter of 200 km. The Disaster ended all ancient civilizations on Earth,
including the Old Kingdom of Egypt. (Refs.26-29)
Copper Trade
Including the exposed tip the spear point has a total of 8+1= 9 protruding parts, referring to
the nine islands of the Azores in the middle of the Ocean. It also refers to Isle Royale, Lake
Superior, 9° above the westernmost islands, at 39+9= 48°N. It may be considered as the cen-
ter of copper mining in North America. The spear point was made from this copper. It also
refers to the density of copper, nine times heavier than water. (Refs.30-33)
Isle Royale is located 48-30= 18° above the Mississippi Delta, referring to the civilization
around the south point of the Gulf of Campeche, Mexico, at 18°N. It was considered as “the
center of the Realm of the Dead, at the other side of the Waters (the Ocean), in the Land
where the Sun sets (America)” (Sun religion). It was the Land of Punt, the holiest place of the
America’s, at a symbolic distance of 18 Moiras, or 180° from the Land of the Living (Egypt).
It corresponds with half the circumference of the planet Earth. – It confirms the 18 years of
reign of king Menkaure (Mycerinos, c.2580-2562 BC), who discovered America.
Dating
The copper spear point dates from the time of the copper trade during the Empire of Atlantis
(c.2500-1200 BC), which consisted of Egypt with its colonies North and South America.
However, the artifact has two prominent ribs and the long, exposed tip, apparently referring to
the third time period of good government, which was the New Kingdom (c.1580-1070 BC). It
has a total of 8+1= 9 protruding parts, probably referring to the 2x9= 8+10= 18th Dynasty
(c.1580-1314 BC). The exposed tip is the 5th and most important part, probably referring to
the 5th ruler of this dynasty, which was Queen Hatshepsut (c.1506-1485 BC).
5. According to the Phaistos Disc of Crete (c.1458 BC) the overall copper export from Upper
Michigan was 18 million copper ingots, as confirmed by the 2x9= 18 protruding parts of the
spear tip (see above). The 8 ribs of the hafting area and the exposed tip, which is the 5th and
most important part, show the standard ingot weighed 80 thousand carats (a number of five fi-
gures), or 80x0.2= 16 kg. - So, it appears the spear tip celebrates the export of 18x16= c.288
thousand tons of copper to the Old World.
Bronze was made by alloying the copper with 10% tin. (The words “tin” and “ten” are even
related.) Although generally unknown, a lot of it was exported from South America. The
spear tip also refers to the tin mines near the present town of Oruro, Bolivia, at 18°S. It cele-
brates the overall export of tin was 10% of the copper, or 1.8 million tin ingots. The length of
the tip equals 0.7 micromoiras, or 7.7 cm, corresponding with the 7 figures of this number. It
also corresponds with the density of tin, seven times heavier than water. The quantity corres-
ponds with c.28,8 thousand tons of tin. (Refs.11,34-45)
