The document discusses ancient megaliths in Minnesota, specifically the Little Bear Dolmen and two rocks, linking them to significant historical events and cultural exchanges between ancient civilizations. It suggests these structures narrate the discovery of America by Egyptians and the catastrophic Dardanus flood, supported by historical and geographical analyses. The findings indicate the artifacts date back to periods in Egyptian history, hinting at the extensive metal trade across the oceans prior to the disasters that affected ancient civilizations.

1. MEGALITHS OF ARROWHEAD REGION II
(Minnesota, c.1900 BC and c.770 BC)
Dr. R.M. de Jonge ©, drsrmdejonge@hotmail.com
Summary
The ancient Copper Culture of Isle Royale built a Dolmen and left behind a pair of recumbent
Rocks. Mr. Bruns of Duluth identified both sites as man-made. The Little Bear Dolmen tells
the story of the Egyptian discovery of America during the Old Kingdom. America was disco-
vered via the Bering Sea in the Fourth Dynasty. All the Atlantic Crossings were discovered in
the Fifth Dynasty. – The Two Rocks tell the story of the Dardanus Flood, which was caused
by a worldwide Comet Catastrophe at which 6 million people died (32%). It happened during
the reign of the 2nd king Ramses III of the 20th Dynasty. It lasted 40+40= 80 days. The pre-
cipitation was c.5.5 meters of water. It ended all ancient civilizations on Earth, including the
New Kingdom. However, the monument also tells the story of the metal trade until this Di-
saster: 384,000 tons of copper from Upper Michigan, 38,400 tons of tin, 18 tons of silver, 38
tons of gold from Bolivia, and 10 tons of gold from Brazil were shipped to the Old World.
Introduction
The Arrowhead Region is located in the extreme northeastern part of Minnesota, just north of
Lake Superior. In this remote area are some important lithic remains left behind by the ancient
Copper Culture of Upper Michigan. In prehistoric times copper was mined on a large scale at
Keweenaw Peninsula and on Isle Royale. The sailing distance from this island to the penin-
sula of Grand Portage, MN, close to the Canadian border, is only 13 km.
Little Bear Dolmen (Fig.1) is located on the Kelso River near Lujenida Lake in Superior Nati-
onal Forest, which is in the west of Cook County. As far as known the stone structure was dis-
covered by Mr. Chuck Bailey from Duluth, MN, around 1985. He identified the rock as a
man-made structure. Mr. Charles Bruns (see Fig.1), also from Duluth, gave it wide publicity.
Mr. Bruns (1949) is a Socio-Anthropologist, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Su-
perior in 1976. (Refs.1,2)
The Dolmen is located on the eastern bank of the River, at 48°N (and 91°W), at a distance of
c.40 km from the shore of Lake Superior. It consists of a large boulder, placed on three little
stones (Fig.2). The boulder has an oval shape with a flat top. It has a length of c.2 m, a width
of c.1.5 m, and a height of c.1 m. Two stones at the base have the same size, but the third one
is about twice as big. Their diameters are about 10 and 20 cm, respectively. The last mention-
ed stone is placed in the south.

DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
A dolmen is a kind of monument of the Megalithic Culture, which flourished in Western Eu-
rope from 5500 to 1000 BC. However, megalithic structures are known all over the World,
and also of later date, until the birth of Christ. A dolmen may be considered as a small house
of God, a pre-christian church or chapel. It is probable, that the later Egyptian civilization

3. started as a result of this Culture, because in ancient Egypt the king or pharaoh was the substi-
tute of the SunGod Ra.
Little Bear Dolmen consists of 3+1= 4 stones. So, it appears something important happened
during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. The four stones also refer to the 40th latitude line south
of the Arrowhead Region. In the Old World latitudes were already used 4800 BC. This line
runs from coast to coast, all across the continent of North America.
It appears America was discovered in the Fourth Dynasty. The southern Aleutian islands, at
the south side of the Bering Sea, are located at the complementary latitude of 90-40= 50°N. In
antiquity the use of complementary latitudes was very common.
It means, America was discovered by the 5th king Menkaure (Mycerinos, c.2580-2562 BC) of
the Fourth Dynasty via this Route. The distance from coast to coast across North America, at
40°N, equals 5 Egyptian Moiras, or 50°, when measured along the equator. It confirms the 5th
king Menkaure discovered America via the southern Aleutian islands, at 50°N.
The holy Arctic Circle is located at 67°N. It is the northernmost line the Sun still shines at
midwinter day (Sun religion). This dolmen is a monument by itself. It shows king Menkaure
returned via the Bering Strait, 1° below the Arctic Circle, at 67-1= 66°N. So, he also disco-
vered this Northern Crossing, 66-50= 16° higher! (Refs.3-11)
Atlantic Ocean
The large boulder (the fourth stone) is the symbol of North America, because this continent
was discovered in the Fourth Dynasty. However, it is also the symbol of the North Atlantic O-
cean, because its size was already known during this Dynasty.
The Southern Crossing starts at the Cape Verde Islands, offshore West Africa, at 16°N (see a-
bove). The Nile Delta of Egypt, at 30°N, provides its sailing direction of 30° SSW. The 50th
latitude line, just mentioned, illustrates the point of arrival at Cape São Roque (the Holy
Rock), Brazil, at 5°S. It shows this Crossing, with the wind and the current, was discovered in
the Fifth Dynasty. Its length of c.2 Moiras, or 20°, encodes the 2nd king Sahure (c.2510-2498
BC) as the discoverer of the Southern Crossing.
King Sahure had to return with his sailing ships to the Old World. The boulder encodes the
start of the Return Route at the East Cape of North America, which is Cape Race, Newfound-
land, 1° below the site, at 48-1= 47°N. The initial sailing direction is 20° ESE. It confirms the
Route was discovered by the 2nd king Sahure. He sailed, with the wind and the current, over
2 Moiras, or 20°, to the two islands of the West Azores, in the middle of the Ocean. The A-
zores were already discovered c.3600 BC. So, the 2nd king Sahure discovered the two south-
ern crossings of the Ocean. – Note, that the two small stones of equal size refer to this 2nd
king (Fig.2).
Greenland
The Northern Crossing of the Ocean runs via three land points: the Shetland Islands, Cape
Farvel, Greenland, and Cape Chidley, Canada. These are located at the complementary latitu-
de of the Nile Delta, at 90-30= 60°N. The Nile Delta itself is located at 30°N. So, the 3rd king
Nefererkare (c.2498-2478 BC) of the Fifth Dynasty discovered the Northern Crossing. It was
the third discovered Crossing of the Ocean. Greenland was already discovered c.3200 BC. –
Note, that the third little stone of double size refers to this 3rd king.

4. Bermuda
The holy Tropic of Cancer is located at 23°N. At midsummer day the Sun is there at right an-
gles above. The slow northerly movement of the Sun turns into a southerly movement. So, pe-
ople believe in the Egyptian SunGod Ra! Far in the east it crosses the River Nile at the same
latitude. It was the center of the Southern Egyptian Empire, but also the center of the Sun reli-
gion!
The Dolmen indicates there were not three, but four Crossings of the Atlantic. The last disco-
vered Crossing starts at Abaco Island, Northern Bahama’s, 4° above the Tropic of Cancer, at
23+4= 27°N. The Return Route runs via the island of Bermuda, 5° above it, at 27+5= 32°N. It
shows the Route was discovered in the Fifth Dynasty. The 2nd king Sahure (c.2510-2498 BC)
reigned for 12 years, so the sailing distance to Bermuda, 2° above the Nile Delta, at 30+2=
32°N, equals 12 moiras, or 12°.
The Return Route runs via Bermuda to the nine islands of the Azores. It indicates the latitude
of Bermuda, 9° above the Tropic of Cancer, at 23+9= 32°N. The island was discovered by the
9th and last king Unas (c.2403-2370 BC) of the Fifth Dynasty. The sailing distance from Ber-
muda to the three island groups of the Azores (East, Central and West Azores) equals 3 Moi-
ras, or 30°.
Note, that the three little stones refer to the three island groups of the Azores. The third stone
is twice as big, and points to the south. So, the big boulder might also be considered as the fif-
th stone. It also represents the Fifth Dynasty, when all the Atlantic Crossings were discove-
red. (Refs.12-21)
Date
Little Bear Dolmen consists of four stones, and the fourth stone is a big boulder. These refer
twice to the Strait of Gibraltar, the entry of the Mediterranean Sea, 4° below the 40th latitude
line, at 40-4= 36°N. It shows people circumnavigated the planet Earth, having a circumferen-
ce of 36° Moiras, or 360°.
The Dolmen is located at 48°N. This latitude is 48-36= 12° above Gibraltar, encoding the
Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt. The site in the Arrowhead Region is located 12 Moiras, or 120°
west of the Nile Delta, when measured along the equator. This confirms the site dates from
the Twelfth Dynasty. The last crossing to the New World was discovered at the 60th latitude
line from the Shetland Islands to Cape Chidley, Canada. The Dolmen is located 60-48= 12°
below this line, confirming this Dynasty, again.
Little Bear Dolmen is located 48-30= 18° above the Mississippi Delta, at 30°N. It refers to the
south point of the Gulf of Campeche, Mexico. It is the center of the Land of Punt, the Realm
of the Dead in the west, at 18°N. The latitude corresponds to half the circumference of the
planet Earth, 18 Moiras, or 180°. It is the location of the start of the Olmec civilization. Both
Delta’s of the Nile and Mississippi Rivers are located 30-18= 12° above the south point of the
Gulf of Campeche, confirming the date of this Dolmen in the Twelfth Dynasty.

5. Fig.3 Two Rocks tell the account of the Dardanus Flood, which was caused by a Comet
Catastrophe in the 20th Dynasty, and the story of the Metal Trade across the Ocean.

TWO ROCKS
A Pair of Rocks (Fig.3) is located in the Arrowhead Region in northeast Minnesota, close to
the Canadian border. At the western end of Gunflint Lake, a bit north, is Magnetic Lake. The
Rocks are situated on a cliff, just west of it, near Pogo Lake, c.60 km NW of the town of
Grand Marais on Lake Superior. The site is not far from Magnetic Rock (Laurentian Menhir)
(Ref.46). The Rocks were discovered by Mr. Charles Bruns of Duluth, MN. In 2011 he iden-
tified the site as definitely man-made.
The “Two Rocks” are located at a latitude of 48°N, and a longitude of 91°W. They are pla-
ced on the edge of a ridge overlooking a creek, at an altitude of c.500 m above sea level. They
are both recumbent, one after the other, and placed in an east-west setting. Both Rocks are si-
milar, each having a length of c.2 meters and a height/width of c.0.7 meter. The stone is a
kind of hematite, a local ore with a high iron content. (Refs.1,2)
Dardanus Flood
The Magnetic Rock in the neighborhood told the story of the Biblical Flood, which was cau-
sed by a Comet Catastrophe at the start of the Sixth Dynasty (c.2344 BC) (Ref.46). It appears,
that the Two Rocks at this site tell the story of the Dardanus Flood in the 20th Dynasty
(c.-1159 BC). It was the second, big Disaster in the history of Egypt, as indicated by the Two
Re-cumbent Stones. Both have a length/width ratio of three (3), which suggests the site deals
with the third period of good government in Egypt, which is the New Kingdom.
The periodicity of the Comet equals 575 years. So, the Comet was expected to return in the
year of 2344-2x575= 1194 BC. It was the first year of government of queen Tausert (1194
-1186 BC), who acted as a regent for king Siptah (1194-1188 BC), the last Heads of State of
the 19th Dynasty. However, the Comet exploded near the Sun. A dangerous part of it reached
the Earth 35 years later, in 1194-35= 1159 BC (tree ring dating). The meridian, or north-south
line, of the site crosses the Mississippi River at 34°N, almost confirming it. The same meri-
dian leaves Boothia Peninsula at 70°N. Each of the Two Rocks now confirm these 70/2= 35
years.

6. Dynasty and king
The meridian hits the coast of the Gulf of Campeche, Mexico, at the complementary latitude
of 90-70= 20°N, corresponding to the 2nd king Ramses III (1184-1153 BC) of the 20th Dy-
nasty. The Disaster happened at the end of his reign, in 1159 BC. The latitude line of the site
leaves the east coast of Isle Royale, Lake Superior, 2° to the east, confirming it. The Two
Rocks confirm the 20th Dynasty. Their length/width ratio equals three (3), confirming the 2nd
king Ramses III. The northern Nile Delta is located at 31°N, confirming his 31 years of reign.
The confluence of the Red River with the Mississippi is at the same latitude, confirming it,
too. (Refs.22-30)
Duration
The Two Rocks indicate the Comet Catastrophe was a two stage event, just like the Biblical
Flood. The Delta’s of the Nile and Mississippi Rivers are located at 30°N. These correspond
to the 30 days of the month. So, the duration of the Disaster is expressed in days. - The 40th
latitude line is the most famous one of North America, because it encodes the Egyptian dis-
covery of the continent in the Fourth Dynasty. However, it also encodes the first time period
of 40 days of the Dardanus Flood.
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 second time period las-
ted 40 days, too. The climate was completely disrupted. The terrible rains continued, but it al-
so became very cold. So, the rains changed into ferrocious snow and hail storms.
The Two Rocks are located 8° above the 40th latitude line, at 48°N. It confirms each of the ti-
me periods of 80/2= 40 days. It also confirms the total duration of the Dardanus Flood: 80
days. The north cape of Panama is located at 10°N. The complementary latitude at 90-10= 80°
N confirms it, too.
In antiquity the Head of a Comet was symbolized by the island of Greenland, consisting of ice
and stones. The Tail of a Comet was symbolized by the North Atlantic Ocean below it, which
contains a huge amount of water. The Azores in the middle of the Ocean are located 38-30=
8° above the Nile Delta, confirming the total duration of 40+40= 80 days.
Precipitation
The Central Azores consist of 5 islands, encoding the precipitation during the Dardanus
Flood, 50 micromoiras= 50x0.11= c.5.5 meters of water. The latitude line of the site hits the
east coast of Lake Superior 5° to the east, confirming it. It even crosses the Ocean between
the East Cape of Newfoundland (and North America) and the West Cape of Brittany, France
over 50°, confirming it, too. The Two Rocks refer to the important latitude line above the site,
at 48+2= 50°N, confirming it, again.
The consequences of this Comet Catastrophe lasted to the end of Dynasty 22, about four cen-
turies after the event, as shown by the 40th latitude line. The climate on Earth was much col-
der and dryer. The site is located 8° above it, at 48°N. The Two Rocks confirm these 8/2= 4
centuries. The Strait of Gibraltar is located 4° below the 40th latitude line, at 40-4= 36°N,
confirming it, too. It corresponds to the circumference of the planet Earth, 36 Moiras, or 360°.
It shows it was a worldwide Catastrophe. It ended all ancient civilizations on Earth, including
the New Kingdom!

7. Casualties
The Azores in the middle of the Ocean are located at 38°N, encoding the 3.8 million casual-
ties of the Flood. The meridian of the site hits the coast of the Gulf of Campeche at 20°N, en-
coding the 2.0 million casualties because of system collapse (lack of government, wars). The
same meridian leaves the south coast of Hudson Bay at Cape Tatnam, at 57°N, almost cor-
responding to the total number of victims. However, the island of Bermuda is located at 32°N.
The north coast of Scotland, at the complementary latitude of 90-32= 58°N, confirms the cor-
rect number: 3.8+2.0= 5.8 million men. The meridian of the site leaves Boothia Peninsula at
70°N, in agreement with the 7 figures of this number.
Cape Farvel, the south cape of Greenland, is located at 60°N, confirming the total number of
casualties, c.6 million men. The length of its meridian on the Northern Hemisphere equals
180°, encoding the original world population before the Catastrophe, 18 million men. The
“complementary latitude” of 180-60= 120° corresponds to the number of survivors, 18-6= 12
million men. The Azores are located 38-30= 8° above the Nile Delta, confirming the 8 figures
of this number.
Cape Cod is located at the complementary latitude of the site, at 90-48= 42°N. The difference
in latitude is 48-42= 6°, encoding the 6 million casualties of the Dardanus Flood. The meridi-
an hits the south coast of Lake Superior at 47°N, which is 7° above the 40th latitude line. It
corresponds to the 7 figures of this number. The site is located 48-30= 18° above the Missis-
sippi Delta, encoding the world population before the Dardanus Flood: 18 million men. It is
located 8° above the 40th latitude line, corresponding to the 8 figures of this number. The
south point of the Gulf of Campeche is 30-18= 12° below the Delta, confirming the number of
survivors, 18-6= 12 million men. Most of them were seriously wounded.
The south point of the Gulf of Campeche is located at 18°N, confirming the original world
population before the Flood, 18 million men. It is the center of the Realm of the Dead (the
land of Punt), where the Olmec Culture started. Cape Gallinas, the north cape of South Ame-
rica is located at 12°N, corresponding to the number of survivors, 12 million men. The diffe-
rence equals the number of casualties of the Dardanus Flood, 18-12= c.6 million men. – Note,
that the length/width ratio of the Two Rocks together equals six (3+3= 6), confirming the 6
million victims.
The precise number of victims was 5.8 million men. It is (5.8/18)x100= 32% of the world po-
pulation, as indicated by the latitude of the island of Bermuda, at 32°N. The name of ‘Darda-
nus’ means Third, because it was the Flood, in which about one third of the people died, one
third of these because of system collapse. The length/width ratio of each of the boulders e-
quals three (3), confirming it twice. (Refs.31-35)
Date
The length/width ratio of each of the boulders equals three (3), twice encoding the date of the
monument: 3 dynasties after the 20th Dynasty of the Dardanus Flood. So, the monument of
the Two Rocks was made in Dynasty 23 (c.818-715 BC). This Dynasty was very active in e-
recting sacred sites, because its number encoded the holy Tropic of Cancer, at 23°N. Far in
the east it crosses the River Nile. It was the center of the Southern Egyptian Empire, but also
the center of the Sun religion.

8. METAL TRADE
Copper
It appears, the Two Rocks tell not one, but two important stories. The second story deals with
the inter-continental Metal Trade. - The monument is located 2° west of Isle Royale, which
can be considered as the center of copper mining in North America. The 50th latitude line is
2° above it, at 48+2= 50°N. It runs along the northern shore of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
The ancient capital of Cahokia at the confluence of the Mississippi and the Missouri (and the
Illinois River) is located 48-39= 9° due south of the site, at 39°N. The two islands of the West
Azores in the middle of the Ocean are located at the same latitude. These 9° correspond to the
density of copper, 9 g/cm3 (nine times heavier than water).
The meridian of the site runs to the Mississippi Delta, at 30°N. It shows, that 3/5, or 60%, of
the copper was shipped along the Mississippi River to the south. The West Azores are located
9° higher, at 30+9= 39°N, confirming the density of copper. The mouth of the Saint Lawrence
River is located 20° higher, at 30+20= 50°N. It shows, that the remaining 2/5, or 40%, of the
copper was transported to the east.
The monument is located 48-40= 8° above the important 40th latitude line, which shows that
tens of millions of copper ingots were shipped to the Old World (a number of 8 figures). The
Two Rocks are located at 48°N, encoding an overall export of copper of 48/2= 24 million
copper ingots. Bermuda is located 32-24= 8° above the Strait of Florida, at 24°N, confirming
it. The island is located 40-32= 8° below the 40th latitude line, confirming the 8 figures of the
number (24 million). Cape Race, Newfoundland is located 47-39= 8° above the West Azores,
confirming it. The Central Azores are located 38-30= 8° above the Nile Delta, confirming it,
again.
For a long time past the noble metals were weighed in units of carats, corresponding with 0.20
gram. The carat is the constant mass of a seed of the St. John’s bread or carob tree (Ceratonia si-
liqua). The site is located 48-40= 8° above the 40th latitude line. The Two Rocks encode the
complementary latitude line at 48+2= 90-40= 50°N. So, the Standard Ingot will have a mass of
80,000 carats (a number of five figures), or 80x0.20= 16 kg.
It means, that the overall export of copper across the Ocean would be (24x16=) c.384,000
tons. It has been estimated by others in the field, that a total amount of 250 to 500 thousand
tons of copper had disappeared from the mining area. So, our conclusion is that its destination
can now be understood. (Refs.11,36-39)
Tin
In the Old World bronze was made by alloying the copper with 10% tin. (The words ‘tin’ and
‘ten’ are even related.) The 40th latitude line is located 10° above the Mississippi Delta, at 30°
N, confirming it. The north cape of Panama is located at 10°N, confirming it, too. Tin was a
very scarce metal. Although generally unknown, a lot of it was imported from South Ameri-
ca. The Two Rocks and Isle Royale are located 18° above the Mississippi Delta, at 30+18 =
48°N. It also refers to the tin mines near the present town of Oruro, Bolivia, at 18°S.
The tin was transported (as ingots) along the coast to the north, and from the Pacific to the At-
lantic. The site is located 48-39= 9° above Cahokia, encoding the isthmus of Panama, at 9°N,
as well as the nine islands of the Azores. In the Bronze Age the overall export of tin from the
mentioned site was 10% of the copper, or 2.4 million tin ingots (a number of 7 figures). The

9. meridian hits the south coast of Lake Superior at 47°N, which is 7° above the 40th latitude li-
ne. It corresponds to the 7 figures of this number.
The North Coast of Honduras is located 16-9= 7° above the Isthmus of Panama, confirming it.
Bermuda is located 32-25= 7° above the south cape of Florida, confirming it, too. It also cor-
responds with the density of tin, 7 g/cm 3 (seven times heavier than water). The quantity cor-
responds with c.38,400 tons of tin.
Silver
Silver was found together with tin. The 40th latitude line is located 10° above the Mississippi
Delta, at 30°N, encoding the density of silver, 10 g/cm 3 (ten times heavier than water). The
north cape of Panama is located at 10°N, confirming it.
The site is located 48-39= 9° above Cahokia, encoding the isthmus of Panama, at 9°N, as well
as the nine islands of the Azores. It also encodes an overall export of 90 million carats (a
number of eight figures), or 90x0.20= 18 tons of silver. Most of the silver in the Old World
was imported from Bolivia, in South America.
The Two Rocks and Isle Royale are located 18° above the Mississippi Delta, at 30+18= 48°N.
It also refers to the silver mines near the present town of Oruro, Bolivia, at 18°S. The Two
Rocks confirm the site is located 18/2= 9° above Cahokia. It confirms the overall export of 90
million carats of silver.
Gold
Gold was traded at the mouth of the River Amazone. The Two Rocks encode the important la-
titude of 2°S. They also refer to the latitude line above the site, at 48+2= 50°N. It encodes an
overall export from this area of 50 million carats (a number of eight figures), or 50x0.20= 10
tons of gold.
However, the Two Rocks indicate gold was obtained from two different places. Tin, silver
and gold were also obtained from the far more important mining area just east of Lake of Poo-
pó, near the present town of Potosi, Bolivia, at 19°S. It is indicated by the density of gold, 19
g/cm3 (nineteen times heavier than water). It even encodes the overall export of gold from Bo-
livia, 190 million carats (a number of 9 figures). The Isthmus of Panama, at 9°N, confirms the
9 figures of this number, as well as the 9 islands of the Azores.
The Two Rocks are located at 48°N. They confirm the overall export from America to the Old
World, 50+190= 480/2= 240 million carats, or 240x0.20= 48 tons of gold. It was two and a half
times the export from Africa (19.2 tons of gold). The Phaistos Disc of Crete (1458 BC) is an im-
portant source for this whole story.
Duration
North America was discovered in the Fourth Dynasty, as shown by the 40th latitude line. At
the end of this Dynasty the inter-continental Metal Trade started with the export of four me-
tals: copper, tin, silver, and gold. This Trade across the Ocean begun in the Fifth Dynasty, as
shown by the Two Rocks, referring to the complementary latitude line, at 48+2= 90-40= 50°
N. The Metal Trade ended at the start of the 20th Dynasty, as shown by the meridian, which
hits the coast at the Gulf of Campeche, at 40/2= 20°N.

10. The Metal Trade took place during 20-5= 15 dynasties, as shown by the latitude line of the si-
te, which crosses the Milk River 15° to the west. It happened from 2500 to 1200 BC, a time
period of about 13 centuries, as shown by the Yellowstone River, 13° to the west. - The meri-
dian runs from the Two Rocks to the Mississippi Delta in the south, at 30°N, confirming the
30/2= 15 dynasties. The island of Bimini, at 26°N confirms the 26/2= 13 centuries. - The me-
ridian hits the Barren Grounds of Canada, 63-48= 15° to the north, confirming the 15 dy-nas-
ties. It leaves the north coast of Somerset Island, 26° above the Two Rocks, confirming the
26/2= 13 centuries. During this time period Egypt and the America’s formed together an Em-
pire, called Atlantis. (Refs.40-47)
Discussion
The name of the State of Minnesota literally means “Site of Mining”, the name of the capital
of Minneapolis means “Town of Mining”. There is a village south of Duluth called Minong,
WI. The word of “mine” is called after the legendary King Minos of Crete, who reigned this
island for 550 years, from 2000 to 1450 BC. The island had a large fleet of ocean going ships,
transporting metals from America. The name of Isle Royale, Lake Superior, is called after this
king. The name of “Minos” is derived from the old Egyptian god Min, who was the god of
love.
The name of Copper Harbor shows there were copper mines on Keweenaw Peninsula and Isle
Royale. An ancient name of copper was “anta, or “onta”. The village of Ontonagan, MI, has
an ancient name, just like the Canadian province of Ontario, which means “copper river”.
Copper ore is often green, as shown by the name of Greenbay, WI, and the city of that name.
The name of the nearby city of Appleton, WI, is from Apple Town, or town of the “golden
ap-ples” of copper.
The name of the Canadian city of Toronto means “copper god”, or “copper gate”. Ottawa is
derived from “Ontawa”, or “copper place”. The name of the island of Anticosta in the Gulf of
Saint Lawrence means “copper coast”. Even the name of the Atlantic Ocean means “Copper
Sea”. The vanished continent of Atlantis means “Copper Empire”. (Refs.48,49)
