*** UPDATE: 1/13/2025 ***
Duane: Happy New Year to everyone! I hope everybody is doing well.
It's been 12 days since my last interview -- and I've been thinking a lot about the many misunderstandings that exist today regarding the true timeline of human history and how the "official" timeline of Western Civilization was created in print about five centuries ago.
One of the subjects I will cover today is based on a theory of why the 12 days of Christmas -- which is the period in Christian theology that marks the span between the birth of Christ event on December 25th and the Eastern-Orthodox Christmas Day Baptism event on January 6, takes place every year.
I recently paid attention to a popular song about the 12 days of Christmas giving and remember the famous line regarding "5 Golden Rings" -- which reminded me of the Hellenic Olympic logo image of five colored rings intertwined together.
And then I remembered my historical research work into Hellenic timekeeping ways wherein they once had a annual calendar that used a 10-day week with 36 weeks a year that left a 5-day celebration event at years end to equal 365 days a year.
So, it dawned on me that somehow, one of the main discrepancies between the western and eastern Christian religious institutions that exist today is linked to when exactly did the celebration date of Christmas Day was changed in ancient times. In other words, when the western Roman Empire started to use a 7-day weekly time count per year, the eastern half of the empire continued with a 10-day weekly count -- which, over time, resulted in a 12-day discrepancy between the celebration event.
Exactly how and when this 12-day discrepancy started in time needs more research -- but, perhaps when Pope Gregory mandated 10 extra days to the existing Julian Calendar because it was assumed at the time that the Julian Calendar was in error by 10 days in 1582 A.D., this decision may be related to the problem.
Moreover, because of new historical data recently discovered that reveals the radical concept in which all conventional A.D. dates beyond about five centuries ago were mistakenly recorded by scholars, the A.D. timeline is significantly in error and needs to be corrected. One of the mistakes that was recently discovered that changes the true record of human history is based on the following concept:
A.D. dates that display the number of "1" as the first placement unit within a four unit date statement, are actually based on a mistaken lower case letter of "j" -- which was also mistakenly recorded as an "i" -- or Roman capital "I", that also graphically equals the modern number of "1". Therefore, the date of 1582 A.D. actually translates into only 582 years after the letter of "j" -- which equals "Jesus".
To put it another way, the year date of 1582 A.D. actually equals "Jesus-582" -- or 582 years after Jesus Christ -- and that is when Pope Gregory mandated 10 extra days to the existing Julian Calendar.
UPDATE 1/13/2025: After further review, another way to understand the first placement unit value within a four unit date statement from dates beyond about five centuries ago can be seen in the following data:
First -- as just mentioned, if the lower case letter of "J" equals "j" -- which some historians now believe equals the symbol value of "Jesus" -- as in the annual date count of years after the birth of "Jesus Christ" -- and not the thousand numerical value of "1" within a four-unit date statement, then the three-unit year count after the letter of the "j" symbol actually equals the true annual count value of the dated statement.
In other words, again, the example year date of 1582 A.D. actually equals "Jesus-582" -- or 582 years after Jesus Christ -- who was related to Adam.
Therefore, because the first symbol in a four-unit year date from about five centuries ago, can now be understood as a letter symbol -- and not a number value, the true annual value of conventional A.D. dates -- found in most every conventional history book, should only be based on the three-unit value after the letter of "j" -- which equals "Jesus" and not the number of "1".
This new understanding of human history removes the thousand-year period of time -- known as "The Middle Ages", from the conventional A.D. timeline of human history.
Second, because the lower case letter symbol of "j" not only equals the lower case symbol of "i" -- which was mistakenly recorded as a Roman number "I" -- that also has a modern number value of "1", the capital letter of "J" also looks like another letter of the early Greek Alphabet -- such as the Lambda letter of "L"
Moreover, because the Greek Lambda letter of "L" shares some simularity with the first letter of the Latin Alphabet -- the capital letter of "A" -- without the cross bar and rotated upwards, early scholars -- who where using letters for numbers, may have confused the early versions of counting systems, when giving numerical values to letter symbols.
It should be known that because the first modern number symbol of "1" almost looks like the number "7" -- but with a smaller top line, the upward arrow symbol of "A" -- without the cross bar line, may have also equaled the same value.
So -- if some modern historians now believe that the first unit symbol in A.D. dates actually equals a letter and not a number, then perhaps the "j" letter could also equal the Lambda-like "A" letter -- which could represent an important character and reference point in recorded history related to Jesus Christ.
And because Biblical leaders like Moses kept genealogical records of his ancestors, it would make sense that somebody somewhere would use his records while figuring out the dates of ancient human history. That somebody somewhere was perhaps a group of certain influential historical scholars from the Renaissance Era who published the Nuremberg Chronicle in 1493.
Also, if these historical scholars mistakenly altered some of Moses' lunar count values into annual values -- such as the age of Methuselah, wherein his recorded age of 969 "years" actually equals 969 months -- or about 78 real years, perhaps the Lambda "A" letter or "1" symbol in the four-unit date statement from the Renaissance Era, may also mean "Adam" -- or the first man in recorded time.
Because the BC/AD timescale is based on two persons -- Adam and Jesus Christ, this new theoretical way of viewing the annual timeline of human history -- which is the annual timeline of Western Civilization, should be reviewed by modern historians if we truely want to understand real human history.
For those who are new to this radical new way of understanding the true annual dates of human history, here is the image of a time chart that I post on occasion.
A new version of human history has recently been created and awaits public review.
And for those who care to see some of my historical data regarding the timekeeping ways of cultures from long ago, check out this image chart.
Evidence of a 7-day week and a 52-week annual calendar can be found
in the New World before the voyage of Columbus.
Reporter 1: Happy New Year to you too. Do you have any theory as to how have you acquired the complex knowledge about Atlantis? Where have you learned your ideas from? In other words, why have you chosen the subject of Atlantis as your main focus in life?
Duane: My historical research into the subject of Atlantis has taken many decades to package and publish. And I must admit, it has been a lonely journey because my radical theories seem so wrong to others when compared to what they were taught in school.
When I once lived on my old sailboat in the Florida Keys I found the time to research the history of the Florida natives and discovered a lost binary alphabet known as Ogam -- which is found on both sides of the Atlantic Realm.
Over the years, I acquired more and more knowledge about the lost maritime kingdom of Atlantis and what happened to it long ago.
I self published my Spirit Of Atlantis book in Key Largo Florida and then moved to where I now live with my wife in Western North Carolina almost two-decades ago.
One day, while researching the subject of leylines, I discovered some interesting links between several places.
There exist two interesting leylines from the New World to the Old World.
I also found another leyline between the site of Stonehenge in England and the theorical site of where I believe the seaport of Atlantis exist at the bottom of Lake Izabal in Guatemala. Both leylines can be verified using the measurment features in the Google Earth program.
When I discovered that these leylines lie almost exactly over where I have lived for decades -- both in the Florida Keys and in North Carolina, my mind began to entertain some wild theories -- like, was I recieving historical information from these overhead "energy lines"?
I remember a time, when I lived in Roswell New Mexico, my father rigged a wire antenna underneath a TV cable that was hanging over our house trailer -- and we could watch cable TV without being plugged into the system.
Now, I have discussed this wild theory before during a past interview -- and, although I would like to believe in the idea that I have been recieving information from some kind of invisible leyline "wire" hovering overhead, I can easily also believe that the phenomenon is just a remarkable and interesting coincidence.
We all know that the human brain works in strange and mysterious ways. The idea that it may be able to recieve wireless signals from overhead pathways from another dimension sounds like some kind of science fiction story -- but, hey -- who knows?
Reporter 2: And Happy New Year to you also. In our last interview you gave image examples of a large 100-foot long multi-hull sailing trimaran design with simple Lateen Rigs that was capable of sailing over vast oceanic pathways. You have also posted several mono-hulled sailing barge designs at your SOA website.
Did the sailing vessels of Atlantis included barges rigged with Lateen Sails?
Duane: Well, there does exist the story of Jonah and the whale or "fish" that swallowed him. Perhaps the "vessel" that took him to the City of Nineveh was not a real large fish -- but actually a large sailing barge decorated as a large fish or whale.
Think about it -- how could a person live for days inside a large fish or whale? A large fat sailing barge seems more plausible to a rational mind.
By the way, how could a ship or fish-like whale vessel take anyone from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean Sea to a place that many believe once existed at the headwaters of the Euphrates River? Somebody has their geography mixed up.
Perhaps the ringed island city of Nineveh was confused with the ringed island seaport city of Atlantis.
Perhaps Jonah's adventure was a voyage to the seaport city of Atlantis -- located in the western Atlantic Realm, within what is now Central America.
Perhaps the people of the seaport needed a second chance to redeem themselves like Jonah did.
I should also add an interesting viewpoint regarding the word "Nineveh" -- when spelled or read from right to left -- like many cultures in the "Middle East" communicate written information, it spells the word "hevenin" -- which almost sounds like "heaven". Was there ever a real "heaven" on earth in Biblical times?
Reporter 3: Happy New Year to you too... If your new timeline chart of human history and Western Civilization is closer to the truth than the conventional BC/AD timescale, then what event needs to happen so that the world can discover this version of time? In other words, how is the public ever going to discover your new timeline chart of human history if people keep ignoring it?
Duane: Again, like I've said many times, all I can afford to do is to keep telling my stories and hope somebody, somewhere will see the value in my research -- and therefore take it to a higher level of publicity. Perhaps the "Great Awakening" event which is taking place now -- where people are really questioning the powers of government and the truth behind their control of history, will help in my quest to make the world better.
Fake history -- like fake news, is why we have so many problems in today's world.
