The Newport Tower
Mystery Solved




Newport Tower



The Newport Tower Story
by Arthur D. Faram


Introduction

Updated 5/5/2012 - The Newport Tower has been the subject of discussion and controversy since the Colonists first arrived in the new world and discovered the structure on Rhode Island, USA. Early explorers noted that the tower existed during their early explorations of North America. However, that did not deter skeptics from claiming that the tower was constructed in Colonial times. Documented research shows that the tower was most likely constructed in the 15th Century, destroyed in the 16th Century and then rebuilt in the 17th Century on the 200th anniversary of its original construction. The Newport Tower is an important North American Landmark; however, it is the Newport Island itself that has been an important focal point of civilizations around the world for thousands of years.

Geoglyphology

The information gathered for presentation on this website was gathered using the new science of Geoglyphology. (Google keyword: Geoglyphology). The calculations performed on both this website and the Kensington Runestone website require the use of a special software called "Google Earth". Google's software is able to calculate true spherical bearings on a curved surface and then display them correctly on a flat plane. This software can be acquired free by searching the internet using the keywords "Google Earth".


Spherical Geometry

In spherical geometry all lines are curved along the surface and no lines are parallel. It is difficult to grasp the concept that two parallel headings can cross. That is because we are used to thinking in terms of Plane Geometry on a flat plane. However, this changes when you draw lines on a sphere. In dealing with a sphere you enter the realm of Spherical Geometry.

Spherical Geometry is the study of figures on the surface of a sphere, as opposed to the type of geometry studied in plane geometry or solid geometry. In spherical geometry, straight lines are great circles, so any two lines will meet in two places. There are also no parallel lines. The angle between two lines in spherical geometry is the angle between the planes of the corresponding great circles, and a spherical triangle is defined by its three angles. There is no concept of similar triangles in plane geometry.

In the field of Geoglyphology, we are plotting lines in a spherical world and then displaying the results on a flat plane. It is difficult to grasp the concept of combining Spherical Geometry with Plane Geometry. That is why the field of Geoglyphology could not have been proposed without the advent of software that computes using Spherical Geometry and then displays it on a flat plane. This type of precise mapping precludes the plotting of these bearings on a flat map. Maps become distorted when converted from a sphere to a flat map. Any lines that are depicted on a flat non-satellite map, on this website, were first plotted using the Google software and then drawn on the flat map after the end points were determined. Even then, the proper curvature is missing.

The Newport Tower

The Newport Tower itself has been carbon dated as being over 500 years old. However, the Island of Newport has been a place of importance since ancient times. (See below.) The geometry associated with the Tower was used to point out Inspiration Peak, Minn. As you will see below, the Newport Tower location has been known and revered for thousands of years. Based on the dating of the geoglyphs pointing to Newport Island, which includes Stonehenge, it appears that the location has been revered for at least 7000 years. The Stonehenge geoglyph has been dated to c3100BC.

Purpose

Newport Tower was built by early inhabitants of North America for two reasons. The first was to point the way to Inspiration Peak, a survet marker of special geographical importance in outlining the ancient boundaries of a territory that would someday be known as the USA. The second was to substantiate the builders knowledge of and claim to North America, by way of Inspiration Peak, Minn. USA. The predecessors of the people that built the tower knew of Newport, RI USA for over 7000 years. This is substantiated by the Egyptian Gulfo de Centra geoglyph in West Africa that points out the Newport Tower site. There was a reason that North America held some special significance. Geoglyphs found around the world show that people were mapping out what would later be known as the United States, as well as other territories, at least as far back as the construction of Caral, Peru. (Explaination in the book "Ancient Signposts").


An Ancient Egyptian Geoglyph That Identified the Future Newport Tower Site 7000 years before the tower was built.

The Gulfo de Cintra Glyph, Radial End Points


The Gulfo de Cintra geoglyphs are some of the most spectacular that we have encountered in all our investigations around the world. First of all they are very clear. There is no doubt where the centers of the defining circles are. This is due to the fact that there is very little erosion in the area. Secondly, all the resulting radials point to well established markers that leave no doubt as to where they were intended to point. The Gulfo de Cintra Glyph was discovered by following the directions from a 7000 year old Egyptian Monolith that has been identified and accurately dated by accredited archeologists.

It is obvious that ancient civilizations were able to understand things that we are just beginning to understand. If you will remember, in your history studies, the Hebrews were involved in the engineering and oversight of the building of the pyramids. Did the Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, Celts, and early Christians have some knowledge that others did not have; the knowledge to build the Pyramids, knowledge to build Stonehenge, knowledge of the geography of the entire world? The geoglyphs located around the world indicate that the answer is yes.


Newport (RI) in Antiquity




The 1513 Piri Reis Map

This is the left fragment of the Piri Reis map showing Central and South American shores. The Piri Reis map is a pre-modern world map compiled in 1513 from military intelligence by the Ottoman-Turkish admiral and cartographer Piri Reis. The half of the map that survives shows the East coasts of North and South America and North Africa with reasonable accuracy. The reason that the land masses on this map appear distorted were not because of lack of knowledge but because of secrets built into the map. Various Atlantic islands are depicted including the Azores, Canary, Cape Verde and the Antilles. The historical importance of the map lies in its demonstration of the extent of exploration of the New World before 1513. The map was composed using 10 Arabian sources and 4 Indian maps, all in the hands of Portuguese Navigators.





Europian Ship Used from 3000BC to 1600AD


This seagoing vessel was propelled mainly by oars and was used in ancient times from about 3000BC and into the 17th Century. The ship was originally propelled by sail, and oars on a single level. The ships were later equiped with oars on several levels. The ships protected themselves by ramming their enemies with the bronze ram on the bow of the ship. These vessals were used in ancient times by mariners throughout the Mediterranian. (Rob Oassian - http://www.thepirateking.com/ships/ship_types.htm)

Many persons present the argument that man had not developed the ships, or navigation abilities, to explore the Americas from Europe. This vessel is presented as a counter to that argument. Also, it was common for map makers to record any ships, and their types, on their maps in the area where the ships were encountered. This is especially prevalent in the Juan de la Cosa Map of 1500. Like the de Cosa map, the Piri Reis map depicts details that would have taken hundreds of years of exploration prior to the map being made.




Section of the Piri Reis Map Depicting the East Coast of North America


This section of the map is presented to verify that Newport (RI) was a settlement long before the Voyage of Columbus in 1492. In the Piri Reis Map a brown symbol that looks very much like a castle (or towers) is depicted where Newport would be. If you will notice it is the only evidence of a settlement anywhere on the coast of North or South America. This would seem to validate the antiquity of that location. As you can see, similar brown symbols representing settlements are located on the map in Western Africa.

To orientate yourself to this map notice the following: (All locations are referred to by their current names.)

01. The white island at the top is Iceland.
02. The red island at the top is Greenland.
03. The indentation of the shoreline west of Greenland is the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
04. The white island below Greenland is the same shape as Newfoundland. (Though obviously misplaced.)
05. The petrusion to the left of Newfoundland is Nova Scotia.
06. The curved Coast below Nova Scotia is the coast of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
07. The petrusion on the bottom of the Castle is Cape Cod.
08. The Castle symbol is Newport, RI.
09. The peninsula below the ship is Florida.
10. The water below Florida is the Gulf of Mexico.
11. The long line of islands to the East of Florida is the Netherland Antilles.



The Geometry of the Newport Tower Mystery





The Newport 013 Radial



Something that must be remembered about the builders of the tower is that they place little value on words. The builders, their predecessors and descendents, are men of numbers and symbols. You should also know that the builders, and their predecessors, never present a puzzle without setting up another solution to the same puzzle by some other method. This prevents the skepticism that has prevailed over the past centuries about the Newport Tower and other ancient artifacts which no verification from another source has been found, until now. It is a known fact that the Newport Tower is aligned along a 93/273 degree axis. In addition there has always been a question as to why most European structures, of non-secular origin, have six legs while this one has eight legs. It was decided that the eight legs might be a clue.

My assumption was that the eight legs on the tower were a symbol for 80 degrees. Navigators of this era oriented their maps and alignments to the East. Therefore the solution was started by subtracting 80 degrees from the East bearing of 93 degrees. This obviously left a bearing of 13 degrees. If this was correct there now existed one angle, and two sides of undefined length, to a triangle. In order for the 13 degree radial to be significant a geographical location along the 13 degree bearing would have to be found to define the length of that side of the triangle.





La Haute-Cote-Nord
(48 23 53.32N 68 52 04.17W)



While tracing along the 13 degree bearing it was noticed that the line went directly over a small island in the Saint Lawrence Seaway named "La Haute-Cote-Nord". La Haute-Cote -Nord in French, loosely translated, means "The Highest Point on the North Dimension". This appeared to be a vital clue. If so there now existed two sides, one length and one angle of the triangle. But in order to make a triangle one more angle or length was needed. While studying the area around the island it was discovered that there were five more locations in the Saint Lawrence Seaway named La Haute-Cote-Nord. It was evident that three of the locations formed the vertexes of a triangle. The three geographical points were connected to see what developed. The result can be seen in the next frame. (Unfortunately after this information was published all the names associated with the puzzle mysteriously disappeared from the Google Earth satellite pictures. However, I was able to capture the following photo before they disappeared.)







The La Haute Triangle



The resulting triangle consisted of three interior angles of 20, 60 and 100 degrees. Since 100 degrees was the one angle that I had already decoded from the Newport Tower it was decided to apply the other two angles to the partially completed triangle to see what developed. The East/West leg of the triangle was extended to the West because to the East there was nothing but water. The triangle that was depicted in the Saint Lawrence Seaway apeared to be an attempt at revealing something about the Newport Tower orientation. If a significant landmark existed at the point of the Western vertex then a solution to the mystery of the Newport Tower may have been found. The resulting triangle is in the next frame.





The Newport Triangle



As hoped, there was a significant landmark situated right under the Western vertex of the triangle. The name of that landmark is Inspiration Peak. A diagram of the Newport Triangle appears above.



Inspiration Peak, Minnesota USA
(46 08 09.49N 95 34 14.61W)


Inspiration Peak, like the Newport Tower location, has been known and surveyed for thousands of years. The knowledge of the significance of Inspiration Peak in ancient times is verified by the monolith Stonehenge in England. The dating of Stonehenge has already been established as circa 3100 BC by celebrated scientists and archeologists around the world and should not present fuel for controversy. Inspiration Peak was not only identified by the complex mathematics built into the Newport Tower, but is also identified by many other glyphs around the world. This also holds true for the site where the Newport Tower resides. (See below)

Inspiration Peak lies halfway between the Equator and the North Pole. In addition Inspiration Peak marks the center point of what is now the United States. The Peak lies 1362 miles from the NW, NE and Southern boundaries of the United States. For an ancient culture to be able to locate and survey this location, and tie it to the Stonehenge Monolith over 5000 years ago, boggles the mind. The Newport Tower and Kensington Runestone (Link provided below to the Kensington Runestone website.) are the most important of the markers which have been found in North America. They are important because these two markers are able to combine together to delineate the North American land claim after it was modified following the Spanish invasion of Mexico City and the conquest of Central America.





Inspiration Peak, Minnesota USA - The North American Territory

The original North American Territory, established sometime between 10,000 BC and 3150, was revised by the Newport tower construction sometime prior to 1362 to allow other countries access to South America across the tip of Panama. Research has shown that the original boundary extended to the East of Panama and blocked any easy access to Western South America.





Revised North American Territory from data retrieved from the Kensington Runestone (Link included below.)

Recent research confirms that the 14th Century colonists, of the North American Territory, were still having differences with their Portuguese partners over establishing a new country in the New World. Portugal split with their centuries long partners and joined Spain in their conquest of South America. This percipitated the destruction of the Portuguese tower on Inspiration Peak, the Newport Tower, the tower on La Haute_Cote_Nord and all the other Portuguese towers which were used to mark important survey points. This required the building of a stone wall by the colonists, now called the "spacer", two miles South of Inspiration Peak to identify the original location.







Inspiration Peak Radials as defined by the Kensington Runestone, dated 1362.
An explanation is on the Kensington Runestone Site. (Link provided below.)

In the previous Plates all the bearings associated with solving of the Newport Tower and the Kensington Runestone mysteries were depicted. The 013 degree bearing was the initial bearing that had to be discovered before the puzzles could be solved. The reciprocal of the 013 degree bearing is the 193 degree bearing which became the first amendment to the original North American Territorial boundaries. As was previously stated, and explained by the Sulpher City, OK USA geoglyphs, the original boundaries blocked any easy access to the West coast of South America by other countries. In a final attempt to appease other countries wishes to cross Central America, and have access to South American gold, the North American colonists made a second revision to the North American Territory which was mapped out in code on the Kensington Runestone.

In the solving of the final puzzle, of the Newport Triangle, the magnetic bearings of 073 and 273 degrees became known . (See above) They are not reciprocal headings because they originate from two different points on the earths surface and are affected by magnetic deviation. In the decoding of the Kensington Runestone, which verified the math in the Newport Tower solution, the bearings of 110 and 140 were also mentioned. Note that the 111 radial, which usually represents the Trinity but was not mentioned on the Kensington Runestone, goes through the current capitol of the USA. This could not have been a coincidence.



ENDING THE INSPIRATION PEAK/NEWPORT TOWER/KENSINGTON RUNESTONE QUESTION



Up until now there has some room for doubt about the validity and purpose of the Kensington Runestone and the Newport Tower. The following two photos leave no doubt that the Newport Tower, the Kensington Runestone and Inspiration Peak were tied together and each played it's part in the history of the formation of the Territory now known as the USA.





Map Showing the Three 1253 Mile Long Newport Radials


The preceding map verifys the fact that the Kensington Runestone, Inspiration Peak and Newport Tower are all dependant on each other in prescribing the third of four revisions to the North American Territory, a territory that would eventually become the United States. (See http://www.thekensingtonrunestone.com ) Both the Newport Tower and the Kensington Runestone described how to get to Inspiration Peak. The Kensington Runestone provided the 140 degree radial which ended at Amelia Island, FL and the 110 degree radial which ended at Bermuda. Drawing a line from Bermuda throught Amilia Island ended at the Tip of Baja California. This identified the Western point of the Southern boundary, of the revised, North American Territory.

By being located 1253 miles from Inspiration Peak and 1253 miles from the tip of Florida, the Newport Tower is trying to tell us to look for another, harder to find, geoglyphic point that is also 1253 miles from the Newport Tower. There is only one spot that is 1253 miles from Newport Tower that fits the protocols that have been developed in Geoglyphology. That point is Vicksburg, Mississippi. This prompted a scouring of the area around Vicksburg for a geoglyph. Sure enough one was found. It is pictured in the next photo.





Map Displaying the Vicksburg Geoglyph, 1253 miles from the Newport Tower


Destinations for the above bearings:

034 Degree Bearing - So. Tip of Greenland
052 Degree Bearing - East Tip of Newfoundland
100 Degree Bearing - So. Tip of Amilia Island, FL
360 Degree Bearing - Orientation Radial


Facts associated with the preceeding two photos:

1. From the photo you can see the 360 bearing. (There will be a N,S,E or W bearing in every legitimate geoglyph.)
2. The 100 degree bearing from the Vicksburg geoglyph points to the same spot to which the Inspiration Peak 140 degree radial points.
3. The information for the 140 degree radial that eminates from Inspiration Peak came from the Kensington Runestone.
4. The Vicksburg geoglyph was identified by the Newport Tower and validates the 140 radial which was mentioned on the Kensington Runestone and applied from Inspiration Peak.


The fact that both Greenland and Newfoundland are mentioned may or may not indicate Viking origins. It does however indicate passage through a Northern route that was traveled by the Portuguese and Danes. The Danes own both Greenland and Iceland to this day.. (See Portuguese Navigators at http://www.migration-diffusion.info/index.php ) By applying the data applied above it should be clear that Geoglyphology is a viable tool for capturing history. It is clear that these three survey markers are both genuine and support one another. There are numerous other geoglyphs that verify this same information but this one seemed the easiest to understand.



The combinations of mathematics, geometry, and survey skills necessary to accomplish such a perfect geometrical puzzle are phenomenal. It is normal for the ancients to cross reference their work. There is always a second puzzle that validates another. The Portuguese, who claimed the North American Territory, finally relented and acknowledged the US right to above described North American territory by building a geoglyph on the island of Tennerife, in the Canary Islands, c1840. ( Explained at http://www.thekensingtonrunestone.com )


By the time you finish reading the Kensington Runestone solution (linked below) you should be convinced that the Kensington Runestone, Inspiration Peak and the Newport Tower all compliment and verify the credibility of each other. It is obvious that the evidence shows a time consuming survey of North America. A prudent person would have to question who did it, when did they do it, and why. The answers are astonishing, but not surprising, and if the overwhelming evidence presented in the book "Ancient Signposts" is accepted by historians it will change the history books forever.
