To the OP, it isn't the inverted cross so much as an inverted Crucifix that causes problems. Kind of a big distinction.

p.s. what kind of problems are caused by inverting crucifixes?

have you ever heard crucifixation by deicide? the word crucifix always makes the chorus play in my head for a couple of seconds...

yeh yeh... waldo


.. where then is Varanger?

Norway


Why are you stalling?
I've had time enough to eat two goats, wrap their bones in their hides, and have them restored to life. hurry it up...

Tell me that, and ill connect some dots for you that you never knew about. Also ill show you why ive got some credibility on these things beyond what you find in your popular history references. The Scandinavian elite guard of the Byzantine empire, what was the name for them?

so connect the dots you imagine me to be unaware of and stop playing cryptic troll games...

just spit it out already.


and I would really love to see the evidence tying potsmoking at 4:20 with protestant marches.
please...
I am interested. I just need more documentation that "i think i heard something on TV once".

.. yeh.. Norway. hehe, Varanger is more then a place in Norway, its barely a place in Norway at all.



These Varangians who went around and claimed taxes from England to Russia.. They didnt come from the Copenhagen - Oslo region and the northern European plains, they came from Varanger. They werent from central Asia either, they just colonized it. This is Varanger, at latitude 69 north, facing the polar sea. Coincidentally the northern tip of the Scandinavian peninsula.


Lapland.jpg




This is where Columbus family heired from. By the tristate border between Norway, Finland and Russia in what is today arctic Norway is from where they colonized the world. This is the head of the beast.
We should look at a better and bigger map to get an idea of the sea routes in and out of Varanger, it will make the picture quite clear.



Columbus family and heritage then was Varangian, his cultural background was of a seafaring trading kind. A culture that traded widely from Nova Scotia to China and a culture that was a dominant and ruling culture based on a family hierarchy where Columbus was of very high status. He was royalty.


They knew very well about America, they knew excellently well about America when they set out to colonize it. Its not only that they didnt think the world was flat, they had colonized the whole of the Eurasian continent and America was next. They had colonies in America and churches there from the 10th century already, probably much earlier actually. Russia was established in the 8th century, byzantine in the 9th and England in the 10th.. they colonized it all from the north, from the seaways connected to Varanger. Looking at a 2D world map, Varanger may look and seem a distant place, yet from an elevated world view, Varanger is the central vantage point for waterway travel throughout the northern hemisphere from the north pole and down into the continents. Several waves of colonization has occurred through history. These colonial migrations has often been triggered by catastrophic events and climate change which can rapidly change the far northern latitudes from lush, productive and ice free to ice deserts in the matter of centuries. Such an event occured for example during the little ice age, which triggered the migrations and colonial activities of the Varangians. Accidentally the little ice age period peaked during the 15th-18th century circa. Columbus journey was in 1492.



Dont tell me you know about Varangian culture or about Varanger and then go duh Norway, because you dont know about this region and the culture here, you have a faint idea about some pirate savages raiding Europe. Its not like that at all, they were high culture aristocrats. Very well knowledged about the world, world history and also science. They studied the stars and planets in arctic Norway, it was a place for the greatest minds of the time.


Ill need a break, ill show you some interesting historical characters of the time later. The discovery of America and the protestant movements coincided with a very significant event in the aristocratic world. We had the first elected King in Norway at that time, the first king ever to have been born out of the established royal Kings bloodline. This is major for many reasons, one of them is that the world empire was to be united under the crown, including America. The empire then needed a King which could represent all colonial groups of the empire, a gallion figure if you will. So the original royal bloodline stepped down from the throne in favor of an elected King, naturally one of the correct heritage.


Its getting to be much to keep track of, ill need a fev moms, ill show you some of the central characters of the day and of these events.



Your Columbus story is not only a lie, its a horrible fairy tale that millions of Americans and westerners in general are brainwashed with in a systematic way. It should tell you something about the socalled educational institutions.

you asked where Varanger is... it is a peninsula and is north of Varangerfjord.

Had you asked me what the extent of the varangian 'diaspora' was, I would have answered that question. Regardless of how far the Varangians settled, Varanger is back in finmark in norway.

Also, we will be needing more verification than your story... please provide some documentation in support of your tales.

concerning Columbus' identity.



Chios port

The reliance on two principle sources (though many others are also cited),

written by persons who had actually seen Columbus' original Journal, are the

main basis of the author's thesis. One is Columbus' second son Ferdinand -- who

had sailed with his father -- whose life work was collecting books about

Columbus for his extensive library, and who wrote The Fourth Voyage of Columbus,

as well as The Life Of The Admiral, Christopher Columbus. The other was the

famous Historia De Las Indies, by Bishop de las Casas -- who had also sailed

with Columbus. These two sources, according to Durlacher-Wolper, are the most

reliable because their authors had sailed with the great mariner, and knew him

well. Columbus' son, Ferdinand, was known to have complained repeatedly that

there were many lies and falsehoods being written and disseminated about his

father. His chosen mission in life was to clear up the many misconceptions, and

to let the truth be known. Bishop de las Casas, confirmed that Columbus "was of

the Genoese nation," but would never utilize the Genoese language in his

writings, and would refer to himself as "Columbus de Terra Rubra," ("Columbus of

the Red Earth"). He also wrote that "more precise information as to his actual

birthplace [was never forthcoming"], but that he claimed his ancestors "had

always followed the sea." It is worthy of note that Chios Island is known for

its red soil, and that Chiotes have -- since time immemorial -- been famous as

seafarers and fleet owners.

Samuel Eliot Morison, the eminent historian, confirms Columbus' "ardent

enthusiasm for seafaring," and wrote, in his book, Admiral of the Ocean Sea

(Little, Brown, & Co., Boston. 1942), that Columbus first took to the sea in the

early 1460s, and that he made "many voyages to Chios in the Aegean," where he

learned to "hand reef, and steer, to estimate distance by eye, to let go and

weigh anchor properly, and all other elements of seamanship." Also, that he was

a "ruddy-complexioned redhead, with blue eyes." His son Ferdinand wrote that

Columbus gave himself the name "Christophoros" because "... in Greek it means

one who bears Christ," and "[my father] had carried Christ over deep waters

with great danger to himself ... that the Indian nations might become dwellers

in the triumphant Church of Heaven."

Columbus' signature was a combination of Byzantine-Greek and Latin. He signed

his name Xpo-Ferens, the first part being Greek and the second Latin. He

instructed his heirs to continue to "sign with my signature, which I now employ,

which is an X ["CHI"] with an S over it, and an M with an A over it, and over

that an S, and then a Greek Y with an S over it, preserving the relation of the

lines and points." (Morison p.202.)

that an S, and then a Greek Y with an S over it, preserving the relation of the

Columbus' Byzantine Signature

firmacolombo.jpg


A sign left Colombo before 1492, right by signing the "Admiral" at the service of the Crown of Castile.


This would accord with Columbus' desire to keep his identity concealed, as did

many Orthodox Christian Greeks who'd migrated to Catholic Italy before and

after Constantinople's fall to the Turks in 1453, and who wished to avoid

persecution in their new surroundings, or death at the hands of the Turks.

Columbus referred to Chios many times in his Journal, and also to the mastic gum

which is cultivated only on this island, and which grows in its red soil. Chios

was under Genoese rule from 1346 to 1566, and, during Columbus' time, was

administered -- though under the sovereignty of Genoa -- by a Genoese chartered

company called the "Mahouna." The bank used by this company was the Bank of St.

George in Genoa, which was also the bank used by Columbus. Because of this

connection, and the fact that he dressed like a Genoese, historians concluded

that he was Genoese, even though -- as confirmed by the great authority on

Columbus, Lionel Cecil Jane -- "[he] could not speak or write Italian." (Select

Documents Illustrating the Four Voyages of Columbus. Hakluyt Society. London,

1930.)

In Chios today, one may see examples of Genoese architecture throughout the

island. In the "mastichochori" (the mastic growing region in the southern part

of the island), and especially in the county seat of the district, the town of

Pyrghi, one sees the Italianate influence everywhere. The houses and buildings

of this town are decorated with geometric designs unique to Chios, and more


particularly to the mastic growing region where the Genoese had the strongest

influence because of their involvement in the mastic trade. Over the doors of

some homes in places like Pyrghi and Cimbouri, one can still see the name

KOLOMVOS inscribed. A picture of a priest of Pyrghi is shown in the book whose

name is "Kolomvos," and who told the author, Ruth Durlacher-Wolper, that his

family goes back 600 years on the island, and that the old Greek Byzantine

aristocracy had intermarried with the Genoese merchants because "they were bound

by the same interests," i.e., the mastic trade.

The connection to royalty is demonstrated by the writings of Ferdinand and Las

Casas, who quotes Columbus as saying that " sailed with my kinsman, Colon the

Younger, the Greek corsair"[pirate]. Who was this "kinsman?" Colon the Younger

was a member of one of the most important royal families in the Byzantine world,

the Palaeologi. His name was George Palaeologus Disipatos, and was also known as

"George le Grec." He turned corsair after the fall of Constantinople, and fought

the Turks on the sea after they'd conquered the Byzantine Empire. At this time,

according to the author, Columbus also went by the name of Colon, and her

research indicates that with the fall of Byzantium he "fled with his kinsman,

Colon the Younger, to... France" It is not certain just when he changed his name

to Columbus, and, in Ferdinand's book, he quotes a passage from a letter his

father wrote to the nurse of Don Juan of Castile: "I am not the first Admiral of

my family. Let them call me, then, by what name they will, for after all, David,

the wisest of kings, tended sheep and was later made king of Jerusalem, and I am

the servant of Him who raised David to that high estate." The Byzantine

connection would explain his knowledge of Latin and Greek, and would answer the

question as to why he kept his log in these two languages instead of the Italian

of Genoa.

Facts Contributing to the Clarification of Columbus' Identity



1) Columbus' signature "Xpo-Ferens" (Christophoros), is Greek-Latin

(Byzantine).

2) Columbus spelled Chios with a Greek X -- Xios.

3) Columbus marked the corner of his letters with a Greek X for Xios or

Xpo-Ferens, his name.

4) Columbus named Cape Maysi in Cuba by the Greek words "Alpha and Omega."

5) Columbus never asked Italy for ships or aid or food or shelter when he

needed help.

6) Columbus never spoke or read Italian.

7) Columbus made markings of Greek words on the margins of his favorite book,

Imago Mundi, by

Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly.

8) Columbus was called "Genoese" because he was from Chios, which belonged to

Genoa, and he

dressed in the Genoese style.

9) Columbus called himself, and signed documents, "Columbus de Terra Rubra"

(Columbus of the Red

Earth), because of the red earth of southern Chios where the mastic tree

grows.

10) Columbus banked at St. George Bank in Genoa, along with other Genoese

Chiotes, because:

a) Chios was a colony of Genoa.

b) Chios had been Genoese for almost 150 years (since 1346).

11) Columbus concealed his identity because of his well founded fear of being

killed by the Turks

after the fall of Constantinople: this prevented him from revealing his

Greek lineage.

12) Columbus called himself "Colon," and wrote that he sailed with a royal

kinsman who also had that

name.

13) Columbus kept "a secret accurate reckoning" and two logs. The author shows

that his "secret reckoning" was in Greek leagues, whereas his "official log"

was in Roman leagues.

14) Ferdinand could find no sign of the Christopher Colombo family when he

searched for it high and low in Genoa. These were supposedly the relatives of

Christopher Columbus, but Ferdinand wrote that "I have not been able to find out

how or where [they] live."

There is much more in this interesting book that would lend considerable and

convincing weight to the argument that Christopher Columbus was indeed "A

Byzantine Prince from Chios, Greece."

Christophoros Columbus: A Byzantine Prince from Chios, Greece. by Ruth G.

Durlacher-Wolper. Published by The New World Museum, San Salvador, Bahamas.

1982.

Notes

In 1982 Ruth G. Durlacher Wolper published her study A New Theory Clarifying the Identity of Christophoros Columbus: A Byzantine Prince from Chios, Greece (Published by The New World Museum, San Salvador, Bahamas). She argues that Columbus was from the island of Chios in the Aegean Sea, which was under Genoese rule from 1346 to 1566.

A priest named of Pyrghi, the main town on the island, named Κολόμβος "Kolomvos," told Mrs. Durlacher, that his family goes back 600 years on the island.

Enough reason for a plaque in the town of Pyrghi in Chios, funded by the European Union.

From the biography of Ruth Durlacher Wolper (1912-1999): she was a painter became a noted amateur historian and archaeologist. She wrote a pamphlet, published by the Smithsonian, on the "Landfall of Columbus," was instrumental in erecting a monument on the landing beach of Columbus, started the first pre-Columbian museum in the Bahamas, and was a frequent lecturer on Columbus, pre-Columbian artifacts and Bahamian history. In addition, she authored a controversial booklet offering evidence that Columbus was Greek.

Based on Durlacher's theories, a certain Seapal, wrote a phantastic story about Columbus' origin:

"Columbus was not born in Genoa but was a Byzantine nobleman, Disypatos Paleologos.

Paleologos (Columbus) was born in Constantinople in 1439 and not, as the Genoese claim, in their city in 1446, 1447, 1449 or 1451 or 1452. Just before the fall of Constantinople in 1453, Columbus left with his uncle Admiral Disypatos George Paleologos. He was then 14 years old and became a privateer in his uncle´s ship. It was then the time that the French needed good seamen and his uncle eventually became an Admiral in the French navy, which he joined under the name Colon Le Jeune. Colon was a common name then, as it meant 'Captain'." (this last statement is interesting, I wonder if people in France know this meaning of the word Colon !).



This is just an example of one of many who have documented Columbus to be of aristocratic Greek descent.


.. why the joke is on you..


Colon is a well established Jewish name, numerous Colons having perished at the stakes of the Inquisition. Columbus' gentile contemporaries in the West Indies clearly regarded him as a Jew. This became obvious when they staged a rebellion against the rule of Columbus and his associates, referring to them as Pharaohs, Biscayans, Genovese and Portuguese. These appelations were used to identify Jews as Jews, with anti-Jewish intent.

or
But American researchers say the mystery over the explorer's true origins has finally been solved after a thorough investigation of his writings.
A study of the language used in the official records and letters of the Great Navigator apparently proves he hailed from the Kingdom of Aragon in northeastern Spain and his mother tongue was Catalan.

Since his death in 1506 debate has raged over the true nationality of the man credited with discovering the Americas.
It was widely believed that he was the son of a weaver born in the Italian port of Genoa, but over the centuries he has been claimed as a native son of Greece, Catalonia, Portugal, Corsica, France and even Poland.
According to one theory, he may have been Jewish and another more recent account traced his origins to Scotland.
But a linguistic professor at Georgetown University in Washington has published new findings following an exhaustive study of documents written in his hand.
Estelle Irizarry studied his language and grammar and concluded that Columbus was a Catalan speaking man from the Kingdom of Aragon, an inland region of north-eastern Spain at the foot of the Pyrenees.
The findings published this month in a new book "The DNA of the writings of Columbus" explain that although he wrote in Castilian it was clearly not his first language and his origins can be pinpointed to the Aragon region because of the grammar and the way he constructed sentences.
"He didn't express him correctly in any written language," said the professor. "His Spanish was notoriously incorrect yet at the same time efficient, poetic and eloquent."
A scientific project launched three years ago to discover his true origins using DNA comparisons between his family and possible descendants has so far failed to provide conclusive results.
A team of scientists took samples from the tomb of Columbus in Seville and from bones belonging to his brother and son and compared them to the genetic make-up of hundreds of people living across Europe with surnames believed to be modern day variants of Columbus.
Swabs were taken from the cheeks of Colom's in Catalonia, Colombo's in Italy and even members of the deposed Portuguese royal family, who argue that Columbus was the product of an extramarital affair involving a Portuguese prince.
Scientists had hoped to establish a common ancestor using standard Y-chromosome tests but they have yet to find a link.
They study may be in vain, however, as there is evidence to suggest that Columbus, who first crossed the Atlantic in 1492, may have adopted his surname later in life to disguise his true origins.
One theory claims that he once worked for a pirate called Vincenzo Columbus, and adopted that name in order not to embarrass his relations with his new profession.
Columbus himself, when asked about his origins, used to shrug off the questions. "Vine de nada" – "I came from nothing", he said.
