SUMMARY

Three Russian ladies of the Institute of Universal Knowledge discovered ten megalithic sites on Iceland. One of these in Reykjavic consists of three huge boulders placed at the corners of a triangle. This monument tells three different stories. The first one deals with the discovery of the Northern Crossing of the Ocean by the 3rd king Nefererkare of the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt. The second one deals with the subsequent Biblical Flood at the start of the Sixth Dynasty, at which 2.6 million people perished (54% of the world population). The third one deals with the Dardanus Flood during the reign of the 2nd king Ramses III in the 20th Dynasty. It was caused by the same Comet: 3.8 million people died, and another 2.0 million people expired due to system collapse (32% of the world population). The monument was erected in Dynasty 23.

Introduction

Lidia Peretrutova, Elvira Babenko and Elena Alekseeva are members of the Institute of Universal Knowledge in Moscow, Russia, which was founded in 1989. They studied the megalithic monuments of Western Europe for about twenty years. In 2011 they visited Iceland, and discovered about ten different megalithic sites, both in the vicinity of Reykjavic and around Egilsstadir in the east. One of these sites is located at a distance of c.100 meters from the church of Kopavog (Kopavogskirkja) in Hamraborg near the capital of Reykjavik. Three huge boulders are placed at the corners of a triangle. Each of these boulders has a diameter of about one meter (Fig.1).

The Megalithic Culture of Western Europe lasted from 6000 to 1000 BC, but monuments outside this area may have later dates. Iceland was discovered by the megalith builders in c.3400 BC. The three boulders in Reykjavic form a typical megalithic monument. Its meaning may be difficult to establish. However, it appears the structure was erected because of the discovery of the Northern Crossing of the Ocean as well as the subsequent Biblical Flood.1-7

Northern Crossing

The three huge boulders correspond to the Nile Delta of Egypt, at 30oN. The Northern Crossing of the Ocean was defined by the three landpoints of the Shetland Islands, the South Cape of Greenland, and Cape Chidley, Canada, at the complementary latitude of 90o - 30o = 60oN. In antiquity latitudes were already known after 4800 BC, and the use of complementary latitudes was very common.

The capital of Reykjavic is located 5 Egyptian Moiras, or 50o, west of the Nile Delta, when measured along the equator. It encodes the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt (Old Kingdom). The three boulders correspond to the 3rd king. So, the 3rd king Nefererkare (c.2498-2478 BC) of the Fifth Dynasty discovered the Northern Crossing of the Ocean. After the Southern Crossing and the Return Route via the Azores, it was the Third Crossing of the Atlantic.8-15

The three boulders consist of two southern stones close to each other, and a third one in the north, further away (see Fig.1). The two southern boulders symbolize the two southern Crossings of the Ocean, which were previously discovered by the 2nd king Sahura (c.2510-2498 BC) of the Fifth Dynasty.

Biblical Flood

The capital of Reykjavic is located at 64oN. The complementary latitude of the site is 90o - 64o= 26oN, encoding the 2.6 million casualties of the Flood, which was caused by a Comet Catastrophe. The South Cape of Greenland, at 60oN, refers to Cape Brewster, Greenland, 6o above the site, at 64o + 6o = 70oN, in agreement with the 7 figures of this number (2.6 million). The islet of Rockall, at 57oN, is located 64o - 57o = 7o below the site, confirming it. The three boulders also correspond to the three island groups of the Azores, in the middle of the Ocean, at 38oN. Their average latitude is 64o - 38o = 26o below the site, confirming the 2.6 million victims.

Reykjavic is located due north of the shortest sailing route to the Cape Verde Islands, which are situated on about the same meridian, at 16oN. The site is located 64o - 16o = 48o above these islands, encoding the original world population before the Flood of 4.8 million men. The Azores are located 38-16= 22° above these islands, encoding the number of survivors, 4.8-2.6= 2.2 million men. Most of them were seriously wounded.

Note, that the “relative difference in latitudes” between Iceland and the Cape Verde Islands confirms the Disaster: (48/90)x4.8= 2.6 million victims. The three boulders confirm the rounded off number: c.3 million men.

The percentage of victims was (2.6/4.8)x100= 54%. This number is symbolized by the west coast of Ireland, at 64o - 10o = 54oN, and by the monuments in the Boyne Valley at this latitude, 64o - 54o = 10o below the site as indicated by the ten Cape Verde islands. The Strait of Gibraltar is located at the complementary latitude of 90o - 54o = 36oN. It symbolizes the circumference of the planet Earth, 360o, or 36 Egyptian Moiras. It shows it was a worldwide Catastrophe! It ended all ancient civilizations on Earth, including the Old Kingdom.

The Flood was caused by a Comet. In antiquity the Head of this Comet was symbolized by the island of Greenland, which consists of ice and stones. The Tail of the Comet was represented by the North Atlantic Ocean, which contains a huge amount of water.

The three boulders of the site encode the important SW Cape of Greenland, 3o below the monument, at 64o -3o = 61oN. This latitude of 60o + 1o = 61oN shows it happened during the reign of the 1st king Teti (c.2370- 2338 BC) of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt. This is correct, because it occurred in c.2344 BC (tree-ring dating). Reykjavic is located 64o - 32o = 32o above the island of Bermuda, confirming the 32 years of reign of this king.

The three boulders encode the latitude of the Nile Delta, at 30oN. Cape Farvel, the south cape of Greenland, is located at the complementary latitude of 90o - 30o = 60oN. It corresponds to the duration of the two stages of the Calamity, because each of these lasted 60 days. In total the Disaster lasted 180-60= 120 days. Cape Farvel is located 64o - 60o = 4o below the site, confirming its duration of 4 months. The latitude of the Nile Delta, at 30oN, corresponds to the 30 days of the month.16-24

The latitude of Cape Farvel also corresponds to the periodicity of this dangerous Comet (or Comet Swarm), about 600 years. The three boulders as well as the Nile Delta, at 90o - 60o = 30oN, confirm the 3 figures of this number. The three boulders encode the more accurate periodicity of 600-30= 570 years, as indicated by the latitude of the islet of Rockall, at 57oN. The Azores are located 38o - 30o = 8o above the Nile Delta, encoding the total precipitation during the Flood of about 80 micromoiras= 80 x 0.11 = 8.8, or 9 meters of water (1 moira = 1 degree = 111 km).

The consequences of the Comet Catastrophe lasted to the start of the 12th Dynasty (Middle Kingdom), c.2007 BC, more than three centuries after the event. The three boulders confirm these three centuries.25-32

The three boulders encode Cape Holm, Greenland, on the holy Arctic Circle, at 64o + 3o= 67oN. It is the northernmost line the Sun still shines at midwinter day. At this day the Sun is at right angles above the Tropic of Capricorn. The slow southerly movement of the Sun turns into a northerly movement. So, people believe in the Egyptian SunGod Ra!1-5

The three boulders appear to show the date of the site. It was the third time period of good government of Egypt, after the Old Kingdom and the Middle Kingdom. So the site appears to date from the New Kingdom. It consists of the 18th, 19th and 20th Dynasty. So, the three boulders appear to indicate a date in the 20th Dynasty. However, in that case the boulders may also tell the story of the Dardanus Flood, which happened during this dynasty. The three boulders definitely show this monument is dealing with three important stories (instead of two)!

Dardanus Flood

The true 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. The three boulders, 5 Moiras west of the Nile Delta, confirm these 30+5= 35 years. Reykjavic is located 64o - 29o = 35o above the Canary Islands, confirming it.

Iceland was reached from the Orkney Islands by sailing 2 moiras to the Faroer, and another 2 moiras to its SE coast, at 64oN. Reykjavic is located 64o - 62o = 2o above the Faroer, all corresponding to the 20th Dynasty. It is located 64o - 44o = 20o above the north coast of Spain (and Sable Island), confirming it. The coast of Trondheim, Norway, at the latitude of Reykjavic is situated 2 Moiras, or 20o, west of the Nile Delta, confirming it, again.

The three boulders consist of two stones close to each other, and a third one further away (see Fig.1). It represents the 2nd king Ramses III (1184-1153 BC). The Disaster happened at the end of his reign, in 1159 BC. Reykjavic is located 64o - 33o = 31o above the two islands of Madeira, confirming the 31 years of reign of this 2nd king.

Reykjavic is located 64o - 60o = 4o above Cape Farvel, the south cape of Greenland, encoding the first time period of 40 days. 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 lasted 40 days, too. The climate was completely disrupted. The terrible rains continued, but it also became very cold. So, the rains changed into ferocious snow and hail storms. – It resembled the Biblical Flood at the start of the Sixth Dynasty!

The Azores are located 38o - 30o = 8o above the Nile Delta, confirming the total duration of 40 + 40= 80 days. The Central Azores consist of 5 islands, and Reykjavic is located 5 Moiras west of the Nile Delta, both encoding the precipitation during the Dardanus Flood, 50 micromoiras= 50x0.11= c.5.5 meters of water. - The consequences of the Comet Catastrophe lasted to the end of Dynasty 22, more than four centuries after the event. Reykjavic is located 4o above Cape Farvel, confirming these four centuries.

The Azores are located at 38oN, encoding the 3.8 million casualties. The north coast of Schotland is located 20o higher, encoding the 2.0 million casualties because of system collapse (lack of government, wars). It is located at 38o + 20o = 58oN, corresponding with the total number of 5.8 million victims of the Dardanus Flood. The islet of Rockall, at 57oN, is situated 64o - 57o = 7o below the site, in agreement with the 7 figures of this number (5.8 million).

Cape Farvel, the south cape of Greenland, is located at 60oN, confirming the total number of casualties, c.6 million men. The length of its meridian on the Northern Hemisphere equals 180o, encoding the original world population before the Catastrophe, 18 million men. The complementary ‘latitude’ of 180o - 60o = 120o corresponds to the number of survivors, 18-6= 12 million men. The Azores are located 38o - 30o = 8o above the Nile Delta, confirming the 8 figures of this number (12 million).

The south point of the Gulf of Campeche, Mexico, is located at 18oN, 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 America is located at 12oN, corresponding to the number of survivors, 12 million men. The difference equals the number of casualties of the Dardanus Flood, 18-12= c.6 million men.

The precise number of victims was 5.8 million men. It is (5.8/18)x100= 32% of the world population, as indicated by the latitude of the island of Bermuda, at 32oN. The name of ‘Dardanus’ 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 three boulders are a symbol of it. Most of the survivors were seriously injured.12,29,33-38

The three boulders encode Cape Holm, Greenland, on the holy Arctic Circle, at 64o + 3o = 67oN. The center of the Southern Egyptian Empire is at the complementary latitude of 90o - 67o = 23oN. It is also the center of the Sun religion. It encodes the date of the megalithic monument on Iceland in Dynasty 23 (c.818-715 BC). The 3 boulders of the site at Reykjavic confirm it: 3 dynasties after the 20th Dynasty of the Dardanus Flood!
