COPPER  TRAIL CLASS ROOM PRESENTATION AAPS OCTOBER 24, 2008
 
COPPER  TRAIL CLASS ROOM PRESENTATION Fred Rydholm Script and Photo selection by Larry Stroud AAPS INTERACTIVE SYMPOSIUM OCTOBER 24, 2008
Copper Country
3000 years before Rome was founded, Michigan copper trade to overseas ports had already begun. Picked up copper 17 tons Weighs equal to all artifacts in US
ROME was built in 750 BC!
Ancient miners from overseas were digging Michigan’s almost 100 percent pure copper (and picking up copper float from the soil’s surface) almost 6,000 years   ago
4.5 in Found at PORT AUTHOR ONTARIO CANADA TRADE GOODS TO EXCHANGE FOR COPPER
They came in fast ocean going ships
They may have carried the load home on big rafts (Sketched by Spanish, west coast of America, 1500s)
When Chief Joseph of the Nez Pearce Indians said, “ From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever”
U.S. cavalry officers found in his medicine bag a small clay tablet  with cuneiform writing The cuneiform is of a style that identifies it from 3000 years ago in what is now Baghdad, Iraq!! It cannot be a modern forgery. Why? Because  cuneiform was not deciphered  until the 1930s!!!
 
Ancient miners used fire to heat copper nuggets that were too huge to move, then dashed water on them to make them more vulnerable to hammerstones.
Bronze is  90 percent copper  with an admixture of 10 percent tin, but needs high temperature to anneal These lance points, found in Lake Superior may be bronze, which means that a high temperature furnace was nearby
Where did the Michigan copper go  in those ancient days? Where was the source of the copper that fueled  the Bronze Age? MICHIGAN->->CYPRUS
17 tons Weighs equal to all artifacts in US The Michigan copper could not have stayed in the Americas BECAUSE: Remember that one stone equal to all the bronze artifacts in US?
17 tons Weighs equal to all artifacts in US The Michigan copper could not have stayed in the Americas because the amount of Indian trade copper in collections, ADDED TO the estimated 20 to 30 tons that may still lie undiscovered, DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR 1 PERCENT of the missing Michigan copper. Where did it go?
17 tons Weighs equal to all artifacts in US The Michigan copper could not have stayed in the Americas A billion tons of copper went to civilizations around the world.
FOLLOW the COPPER TRAIL Get a copy of MICHIGAN COPPER By UP Author FRED RYDHOLM Who writes in the forward:
“ All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed.  Third, it is accepted as being self evident.” —
“ All truth passes through three stages. Where are you, and your students, on the path to find the truth? Are you in the mob that ridicules?
“ All truth passes through three stages. Where are you, and your students, on the path to find the truth? Are you cheering the authorities who  violently oppose these presentations? or
“ All truth passes through three stages. Where are you, and your students, on the path to find the truth? Are you planning ways to have your students discover more about the self-evident Many Peoples hypothesis?

  4. This slide orientates you to Copper Country. The state is Michigan. The lake is Superior. The Country to the north is Canada. The center of Copper Country is at the west end of Lake Superior.
  5. 3,000 years before Rome was founded, Michigan copper trade to overseas ports had already begun.
  6. Rome was founded in 750 B.C.
  7. That means ancient miners from overseas were digging Michigan’s almost 100 percent pure copper (and picking up copper float from the soil’s surface) almost 4,000 years ago. Some of the foreign visitors brought trade goods to exchange for copper rather than doing the mining themselves. More than 5,000 copper mining pits, some as deep as 30 feet and all so old they were filled almost to ground level with decayed vegetable matter and wind-blown soil when discovered in the mid-1800s, dot the Michigan Copper Country. Mining experts believe the ancient mines “produced 10 million tons to 50 million tons of copper, depending upon whose estimate you go by — some go as high as a billion tons [total],” Fred Rydholm says in “ Michigan Copper: The Untold Story.” How did they get here?
  8. Some of the foreign visitors brought trade goods to exchange for copper rather than doing the mining themselves.   How did they get here?
  9. They came in fast ocean-going sailing ships.   That such ships routinely made trips between Europe, Asia, Africa and America is proven over and over in stone inscriptions and clay tablets that could not have been faked.   The modern Abora III (above) is a model of an ocean ship drawn on cave walls 4500 years ago.
  10. They may have carried the copper ingots back by large rafts floating on the Gulf Stream current with a west wind filling a large sale. When the Spanish found these rafts, the rafts could sail faster than the Spanish ships. A loaded raft can put up a huge sail compared to a keeled ship that might be capsized when winds shifted. The twin mast boom in this sketch indicates an Egyptian style raft.
  11. When Chief Joseph of the Nez Pearce Indians said," From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever” on Oct. 5, 1877 in what is now Montana, U.S. cavalry officers found in his medicine bag a small clay tablet with cuneiform writing on one side.   The cuneiform is of a style that identifies it from 3000 years ago in what is now Baghdad, Iraq. It is a receipt for a livestock transaction. The tablet is now in the West Point Museum. , as many outdated historians would have you believe.
  12. Why? Because cuneiform was not deciphered until the 1930s.
  13. “ Obviously, the miners of that remote period understood navigation and were in possession vessels capable of traversing the trackless waters from land to land,” A.T. Andrews wrote in 1883 in “Early Copper Mining in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.”   Water routes were selected to move with the current and win where possible. Water levels at the time allowed ships to enter Hudson Bay and other Northeast water routes and exit the way they came or by traveling down what is now known as the Mississippi River.  
  14.   The ancient miners used fire to heat copper nuggets that were too huge to move, then dashed water on them to make them more vulnerable to hammerstones used to break them into smaller pieces.   Thousands upon thousands of stone hammers were found in and around the mining pits
  15.   Much of the mining activity coincided with Europe’s Bronze Age, from 5000 to 3000 years ago.   Bronze is 90 percent copper with an admixture of 10 percent tin, but needs high temperature to anneal. These lance points found in Lake Superior may be bronze which means that a high temperature furnace was nearby. The high temperature furnaces of ancient America are called Nordic furnace.  
  16. Source: Barry Fell, America BC. Bronze Age researchers have always known the source of the tin ore, but have never been able to determine where the vast amounts of needed copper came from. Nowhere in the world have copper deposits or ore been found that could have fueled the Bronze Age, except in Michigan, which the outdated historians ignore.   Where did the Michigan copper go in those ancient days?   Where was the source of the copper that fueled  the Bronze Age?
  17. The Cyprus story is a prime example of how misinformation is perpetuated by historians who take previous statements as truth without making any investigations of their own that could have uncovered the truth. The Michigan copper could not have stayed in the Americas, although American Indians did fashion ornaments and implements of war from copper that originated in Michigan.
  18. The amount of Indian trade copper in museums and private collections, ADDED TO the estimated 20 to 30 tons that may still lie buried and undiscovered, DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR EVEN 1 PERCENT of the missing Michigan copper. Where did it go?
