SUMMARY
The 18 passages of both inner parts of the disc each correspond to the first 18 Dynasties
of Egypt. For each dynasty the disc provides the duration in generations of 30.5 years, the
number of Kings, the years of reign of each King, the population number, but also the
geographic discoveries on the planet Earth. This is indicated with the symbols of the
“boat”, the “waterway”, “religion”, a.o. Greenland in the west was already discovered in
prehistory. Taiwan and the Solomon Islands in the east were reached in the 1st Dynasty.
The island of Madagascar, East Africa, was discovered in the 2nd Dynasty. Australia and
New Zealand were found in the 3rd Dynasty, and America was discovered via the Bering
Sea in the 4th Dynasty. At the end of the 5th Dynasty, the whole world was discovered,
except the Islands of Hawaii and Antarctica, which were finally reached during the 11th
Dynasty.

9.1 ICELAND AND GREENLAND
(Prehistory and Pre-Dynastic Period)

Canary Islands
The Phaistos Disc is round, just like the planet Earth (Figs.9.3 and 9.4) (Ref.1). It has a
front and a back side, similar to the northern and the southern hemisphere, or the situation
when the Sun is shining on one of its faces. It has a center on each side, resembling the
North and the South Pole. The spiral shaped line on the disc resembles the latitude lines
on a globe. Many symbols may have geographic meanings, such as islands, capes, and
sailing routes (Refs.2-6).

From studies of the Megalithic Culture in Western Europe it is known that the Canary
Islands, NW Africa, were discovered c.5700 BC (Refs.21-26). Both passages A29 and
B29 have a “mountain” and a “waterway”, which suggest a “sailing route” to “islands”
was discovered. They encode the geographic location of the Eastern Canary Islands, at
29°N. Both Figures show a correct image of the disc, also in a geographical sense. If the
center of the disc symbolizes the Strait of Gibraltar, both passages indicate the correct
sailing direction, SW. Passage B1 also has these signs, encoding the sailing distance from
the African coast, 1 Egyptian moira= 1°= 60 NM (Ref.13). Passage B19 (E1) has a
“boat”, confirming it.

The Phaistos Disc was made on the island of Crete, in 1458 (Ch.2) (Refs.3-6). B9, at the
end of a paragraph, has a “boat” and a “hammer”, which resembles a sailing route to an
island, or a cape. Counting the passages on back and front sides, it appears that the
discovery of the Canary Islands happened 30+31+9= 70 double generations ago (Ch.8).
This is between 1458+70x61= 5728 and 5728-61= 5667. The corresponding passage A9
on the front side is at the end of a paragraph, too. It has 7 symbols and a “shield with 7
burls”, confirming the discovery of the 7 Canary islands, 61+9= 70 double generations
ago.

Passage B27 (E9) has a “boat” and the sign of “religion”, which resembles a “crossing to
an island, or a cape”. It confirms this discovery, 30+31+9= 70 double generations ago.-
Passage B10 has an “island” and a “crossing” sign. It confirms the discovery, 30+30+10=
70 double generations ago. The corresponding passage A10 on the front side has a
“horn”, which resembles a “sailing route”, and a “shield with 7 burls”. It confirms the
discovery, 30+30+10= 70 double generations ago.- Passages A29 (E10) and B29 have an
“island” and a “waterway”. These confirm the discovery of the Canary Islands, at 29°N,
30+30+10= 70 double generations ago.

Cape Verde Islands
From studies of the Megalithic Culture in Western Europe it is known that the Cape
Verde Islands, West Africa, were discovered c.4600 BC (Refs.21-26). Passage A16 on
the front side has a “horn” and a “shield with burls”, which suggest that a “sailing route”
to an “archipelago” was discovered. This passage A16 encodes the location of the Cape
Verde Islands, at 16°N. Fig.9.3 shows a correct image of this side of the disc, also in a
geographical sense. If the center of the disc symbolizes Crete/Egypt, or Cape Blanco,
West Africa, the passage points to the correct (sailing) direction, WSW.

The paragraph-line of A16 points to paragraphs 9 and 10 on the edge, having 4+2= 6
passages, which encode the sailing distance to the islands, 6 moiras= 6°= 360 NM (1
Egyptian moira= 1°= 60 Nautical Mile). Next passage A17 represents the northern
islands, at 17°N, which are the most western ones. A16 and A17 possess together 4+2= 6
symbols, confirming the sailing distance from the African coast.

The Phaistos Disc was made on Crete in 1458 (Ch.2). Passage B22 has a “boat” and a
“crossing” sign, which resembles a sailing route to an island, or a cape. When counting
the passages on the back side, it appears that the discovery of the Cape Verde Islands
happened 30+22= 52 double generations ago (Ch.8). This is between 1458+52x61= 4630
and 4630-61= 4569. The corresponding passage A22 on the front side has a “plane”,
which resembles “a route to an island or a cape”, and an “archipelago” sign. It confirms
the discovery 30+22= 52 double generations ago.

Passage B10 has an “island” and a “crossing” sign. It confirms the discovery of the 10
Cape Verde islands, 30+12+10= 52 double generations ago. The corresponding passage
A10 on the front side has a “sailing route” and an “archipelago”, confirming it.- Both
passages A29 (E10) and B29 have an “island” and a “waterway”, confirming the
discovery, 30+12+10= 52 double generations ago.

Madeira
From studies of the Megalithic Culture it is known that the two islands of Madeira were
discovered c.4200 BC (Refs.21-26). Passage B2 on the back side has a “boat” and a
“route” sign, which suggest that an important boat voyage was made. Together with the
31 passages of the front side it encodes the 2 islands of Madeira, at 31+2= 33°N. B3 has
an “island” and a “route” sign, and A3 has an “archipelago”, both confirming the
discovery of Madeira, at 30+3= 33°N.

Passage B2 has 4 symbols, corresponding to the sailing distance from the eastern
Canaries to Madeira, 4 moiras= 4°= 240 NM. Passages B2, B3, and A3 are all situated in
the first paragraphs, each with 4 passages, confirming it twice.

The Phaistos Disc was made in 1458 (Ch.2). B22, the 4th passage on the edge, has a
“boat” and a “crossing” sign. Counting the passages on the back side, it appears that the
discovery of Madeira happened 30+12+4= 46 double generations ago (Ch.8). This is
between 1458+46x61= 4264 and 4264-61= 4203. B22 (E4) has 4 symbols, confirming
the sailing distance, twice. The corresponding passage A23 (E4) on the front side has a
“sailing route”, confirming the sailing distance and the date of discovery.

Passage A16 has a “sailing route” and an “archipelago”, confirming the discovery,
30+16= 46 double generations ago. Passage B2 on the back side has a “boat” and a
“route” sign, confirming the discovery of the 2 islands of Madeira, 31+13+2= 46 double
generations ago.

Azores
It is known that the islands of the Azores in the middle of the Ocean were discovered
c.3600 BC (Refs.21-26). Passage B7 has a “waterway”, suggesting an important boat
voyage was made. It encodes the island of Sta Maria, East Azores, at 30+7= 37°N. The 2
“mountains” in the passage represent the 2 islands of the East Azores. The corresponding
passage A7 on the front side has a “sailing route” and a “archipelago”, confirming it.-
Passage A26 (E7) has an “island”, an “archipelago”, and a “waterway”, confirming the
discovery of Sta Maria, at 30+7= 37°N.

Next passage B8 on the back side has an “island”, referring to the Central Azores, at
30+8= 38°N. The translation of B8 reads: “The wood (of the ship) leads to the island”.
So, B8 also corresponds to the sailing distance from Madeira to Sta Maria, 8 moiras= 8°=
480 NM. The corresponding passage A8 on the front side has a “route” sign, confirming

it. Both passages B26 (E8) and A27 (E8) have an “archipelago”, confirming both the
Central Azores and the sailing distance.

Next passage B9 has a “boat” and a “route” sign, suggesting a subsequent boat voyage to
the West Azores, at 30+9= 39°N. The corresponding passage A9 has an “archipelago”,
confirming it.- Passage B27 (E9) has a “boat” and a “crossing” sign, strongly confirming
it. Passage A26 (E7), just mentioned, has three important symbols, confirming the
discovery of the West Azores, at 31+1+7= 39°N.

The 3 passages B7-9 encode the discovery of the 3 island groups of the Azores. B7 and
B8 each have 3 symbols, and both have together 3 “islands”, confirming it. The used
passage A7 also has 3 symbols, confirming it. Passage B9 shows the discovery of the 9
islands of the Azores. The used passage B27 (E9) has 3 symbols, confirming the
discovery of the 3 island groups of the Azores, consisting of 9 islands.

Passage B6 has a “route” sign and an “island”, indicating the discovery of the Azores,
30+6= 36 double generations ago (3654-3593). Note, that in B6 the “square” touches the
“route” sign, and that in B8 (Central Azores) the “square” touches the “island”, and that
in B9 (West Azores) the “boat” touches the “route” sign, again. The paragraph-line of B7
points to B16, with two symbols also present in B24. B24 (E6) confirms the discovery,
30+6= 36 double generations ago.

Passage A5 on the front side has two “route” signs, confirming the discovery 31+5= 36
double generations ago. Passage A23 (E4) has a “sailing route”, confirming the
discovery, 31+1+4= 36 double generations ago. Both passages A5 and A23 have 3
symbols, showing the discovery of the 3 island groups of the Azores. Passage A23
encodes the holy Tropic of Cancer, and the Southern Egyptian Empire, at 23°N. It is the
center of the Sunreligion. The SunGod always said: “The Realm of the Dead is in the
West, at the other side of the Waters, in the Land where the Sun sets” (Refs.21-24)

Faeroes and Iceland
It is known that the Faeroes and Iceland were discovered c.3400 BC (Refs.21-26).
Passage B1 has an “island” and a “waterway”, encoding the Faeroes, at 30+31+1= 62°N
(Figs.9.3 and 9.4). Passage B19 (E1) has a “boat”, confirming it. B1 is situated in the first
paragraph having 4 passages, corresponding to the sailing distance from Scotland to the
Faeroes, and from the Faeroes to Iceland, twice 4 moiras= 4°= 240 NM. Passage B19
(E1) has 4 symbols, confirming it.

Passage B2 has a “boat” and a “route” sign, corresponding to the SE coast of Iceland, at
31+31+2= 64°N. Passage A26 on the front side has an “island”, an “archipelago”, and a
“waterway”, confirming the SE coast of Iceland, at the complementary latitude of 90-26=
64°N. In the Megalithic Culture of Western Europe, the use of complementary latitudes
was very common (Refs.21-41). Both passages B2 and A26 have 4 symbols, confirming
both sailing distances, twice.

Passages A1 and A19 (E1) on the front side show the discovery of the Faeroes, at
31+31+1= 62°N, 31+1= 32 double generations ago (3410-3349). Passage B2 on the back
side has a “boat” and a “route” sign, confirming the discovery of the Faeroes and Iceland
30+2= 32 double generations ago. Passage B1 has an “island” and a “waterway”, again
confirming this event, 31+1= 32 double generations ago.

Greenland
It is known that Greenland was discovered c.3300 BC (Refs.21-30). Passage B5 has an
“island” and a “crossing” sign, encoding the sailing distance from Iceland to Cape Holm,
Greenland, 5 moiras= 5°= 300 NM. A5 on the front side has two “route” signs, confir-
ming it. Both passages indicate the latitude of Cape Holm, at 31+31+5= 67°N. Passage
B6 has a “route” sign and an “island”, and passage B7 has two “islands” and a “water-
way”, confirming Cape Holm, at 30+31+6= 30+30+7= 67°N.

Passage B23 has an “island”, confirming Cape Holm at the holy Arctic Circle, at 90-23=
67°N. It has 5 symbols, confirming the sailing distance of 5 moiras. Passage A23 on the
front side has a “sailing route” and the symbols for the “power of God”. It confirms the
holy Arctic Circle, at 90-23= 67°N. It is the northernmost line where the Sun still shines
on midwinter day (Refs.21-41). Note, that the symbol of the “island”, upside down,
resembles South Greenland.

Passage B1 has an “island” and a “waterway”, indicating the discovery of Greenland,
30+1= 31 double generations ago (3349-3288). Passage B19 (E1) has a “boat”, confir-
ming it. The front side of the Phaistos Disc contains 31 passages, confirming it, again.
Passage A31 has an "archipelago", confirming it. It happened before the start of the Pre-
Dynastic Period of Egypt (Table 8.7). The burls of the shield in A31 resemble the
mountains of Greenland, which poke through the ice cap.

South Greenland
It is known that the south capes of Greenland were discovered c.3250 BC (Refs.21-30).
Passage B30 on the back side has an “island”, an “archipelago”, and a “crossing” sign,
encoding Cape Farvel, the south cape of Greenland, at 30+30= 60°N. Passage A29 on the
front side has an “island” and a “waterway”, confirming the latitude, at 31+29= 60°N.
Passage B1 on the back side has an “island” and a “waterway”, corresponding to the SW
Cape of Greenland, at 30+30+1= 61°N. Passage B19 (E1) has a “boat”, confirming it.

Passage B30, having three important symbols, shows the discovery of South Greenland,
30 double generations ago (3288-3227). It is the last passage of the generation series
B25-30 of the Pre-Dynastic Period (see Ch.8). So, it shows this discovery 30+30= 60
generations ago, between 1458+60x30.5= 3288 and 3288-31= 3257. So, during the 1st
generation of the Pre-Dynastic Period people reached the SW Cape of Greenland. The
31+30= 61 passages of the Phaistos Disc encode its latitude, at 61°N. Passage B30
confirms this latitude, at 31+30= 61°N.

It is known that the megalith builders gave up their efforts to cross Davis Strait, c.3200
BC (Refs.17-30). Passage B19 (E1) has a “boat”, encoding the SW Cape of Greenland,
at 30+30+1= 61°N. However, it also has a “corpse”, showing that they surrendered.
Passage B29 has an “island”, a “waterway”, and a “corpse”, confirming that they gave up
crossing Davis Strait at the SW Cape of Greenland, at 90-29= 61°N. This happened 29
double generations ago (3227-3166). A29 on the front side, with an “island” and a
“waterway”, confirms the SW Cape, at 90-29= 61°N, and the date.

Passage B27 of the generation series B25-30 has a “boat”, a “crossing” sign, and a
“corpse”, showing that people gave up crossing Davis Strait 30+27= 57 generations ago.
It was in the 3rd generation of the Pre-Dynastic Period (3227-3196), which lasted a total
of 6 generations. Passage A26 of the generation series A24-28 (using A27a/b) has an
“island”, “archipelago”, “waterway”, and “corpse”, confirming that one surrendered,

31+26= 57 generations ago. This was in the 3rd generation, indeed (Table 8.6). The burls
of the shield in A26 resemble the mountains of Greenland, again, poking through the ice
cap. (Refs.70-81)

9.2 TAIWAN AND THE SOLOMON ISLANDS
(Djer, Djet, Anedjib, and Semerkhet, 1st Dynasty)
Sumatra, Kalimantan, Philippines, Taiwan
Passage B1 of the back side contains an “island” and a "waterway", which means impor-
tant boat voyages occurred during the 1st Dynasty (Refs.1-6). Fig.9.4 shows a correct
image of this side of the disc, also in a geographical sense. So, this passage B1 points
ESE from Egypt (the center of the disc), in the direction of Singapore, at 1°N, which is
an important bifurcation of sailing routes (Refs.21-24). A line runs from B1 to passage
B10, which has the shape of the South Chinese Sea, around the latitude of 10°N. The
“island” and the “crossing” sign indicate the crossings around that Sea from Singapore to
Sumatra, further to Kalimantan, further to the Philippines, further to Taiwan, and finally
to mainland China. The last sign is also the symbol of "religion", indicating the north side
of the South Chinese Sea, at the holy Tropic of Cancer, at 23°N (Refs.1-16).

So, the Egyptians discovered West Indonesia, the Philippines, and Taiwan around this
Sea. The line between both passages B1 and B10 (emphasized by a second piece of line
parallel to it), forms the end of passage B3, encoding South Korea, at a latitude of 31+3=
34°N. So, it is emphasized, that all discoveries were south of this peninsula (Table 8.5).

Sunda Islands, New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago, Solomon Islands
Passage A1 on the front side also symbolizes the 1st Dynasty. It contains a "burin" poin-
ting to A6. Fig.9.3 shows a correct image of this side of the disc, also in a geographical
sense. This passage A6 points east from Egypt (the center of the disc). So, the Egyptians
undertook a second expedition in the direction of the south point of Sri Lanka, at 6°N.
Passage A6 shows they crossed from Sumatra to the island of Java, at 6°S.

Passage A1 represents Singapore, again, at 1°N (Refs.21-24). Passage A6 points east
from Singapore (the center of the disc). So apparently, they sailed along the Sunda
Islands over a distance of 60 moiras= 60°= 3,600 NM east of Singapore, which is until
the Solomon Islands, at 6°S, behind New Guinea. The shapes of passages A1 and A6
suggest they returned along the north side of New Guinea, along islands in the direction
of Kalimantan, discovered in the previous expedition.

Kings
A24-31 is one of the kings series of the 1st Dynasty (Ch.8). The history of Egypt started
in the center. For that reason the passages in these series are counted backwards. The 3rd
passage A29 and the 6th passage A26 contain "waterways", indicating discoveries in the
east during the reigns of the 3rd King Djer (c.3043-3012, Taiwan), and the 6th King
Anedjib (c.2992-2966, Solomon Islands), respectively. A26 also encodes the 26 years of
reign King Anedjib. In another kings series A28-22, the 4th passage A19 belongs to A17
and A18, with a “boat”, of the same paragraph, and the 7th passage A29 has a "water-
way". These passages indicate discoveries in the east during the reigns of the 4th King
Djet (c.3035-3012, Taiwan), and the 7th King Semerkhet (c.2966-2948, Solomon
Islands), respectively. A31 encodes the 31 years of reign of King Djer, and A18 encodes
the 18 years of reign of King Semerkhet.

Passages A10-18 on the front side form a complete circle of 36 symbols, corresponding

with a circle angle of 360 degrees. It is called the “Circle”. Passages A10-12 at the start
of the Circle are identical to passages A16-18 at the end of it. Both groups together are
called the “Combination”. A10, with the symbols of the “power of God”, is the first
passage of the Combination, having two “boats”. It symbolizes the South Chinese Sea,
again, around 10°N, which can be reached by sailing SE from Egypt (the center of the
disc). A6-13 is another kings series of the 1st Dynasty. The 4th passage A10 represents
the 4th King Djet, confirming his discovery of Taiwan. The 7th passage A7, also with the
symbols of the “power of God”, represents the 7th King Semerkhet, confirming his dis-
covery of the Solomon Islands, at 7°S.

Generations
B25-30 on the back side is one of the generation series of the 1st Dynasty (Ch.8). The 3rd
passage B27 of this series contains a "boat" and a “crossing” sign, and the 5th passage
B29 has an “island” and a "waterway". These passages suggest the visit to the South
Chinese Sea happened in the 3rd generation (Taiwan, 3044-3014), and the expedition
beyond West Indonesia occurred in the 5th generation (Solomon Islands, 2983-2953). In
another generation series B7-12, the 3rd passage B9 contains a "boat", and the 5th
passage B11 has a "waterway". These passages strongly confirm this statement. The
Kings just mentioned reigned during these generations.

Passage B27 (see above) has the symbol of “sailing route” or "religion", suggesting cros-
sings from island to island, and confirming discoveries until Taiwan, at the holy Tropic
of Cancer. Passage B22 of the generation series B19-24 has a "boat", which confirms the
discovery of Taiwan, at 22°N. The passage ends with the symbol of “crossing” or
"religion", and with next passage B23, confirming the discovery of Taiwan at the holy
Tropic of Cancer, at 23°N. It illustrates the religious nature of these expeditions. B23 also
encodes the 23 years of reign of King Djet.

A24-28 (using 27a/b) is a generation series on the front side. The 3rd passage A26 in this
series has a "waterway". It confirms the discoveries around the South Chinese Sea in the
3rd generation. A18-23 is another generation series. The 3rd passage A20 has a “route”
sign and an “archipelago”, confirming the discoveries in the 3rd generation. The 5th
passage A22 has the same, confirming the 5th generation. Passage A23 at the end of this
series has the symbols of the “power of God”, which confirm the discoveries until
Taiwan at the holy Tropic of Cancer, at 23°N. It also confirms the 23 years of reign of
King Djet.

Finally, passage A26 has an “island”, an “archipelago”, and a "waterway", confirming
the first discoveries in the east, 26 double generations ago (Taiwan, 3044-2983). This is
during the 3rd and 4th generations of the 1st Dynasty (Table 8.5). Passage B25 on the
back side only has a “route” sign, confirming the second discoveries in the east, 25
double generations ago (Solomon Islands, 2983-2922). This is during the 5th and 6th
generations of this dynasty (Refs.17-24).

9.3 MADAGASCAR
(Peribsen, 2nd Dynasty)
Ascension and St. Helena
It is known that the small islands of Ascension and St. Helena in the South Atlantic
Ocean were discovered c.2900 BC (Refs.21-24). Passage B22 (E4) has a “boat” and a
“crossing” sign, corresponding to Cape Palma, the south cape of West Africa, at 4°N.
The small passage A14 on the front side has a “route” sign, encoding the sailing distance

to Ascension, 14 moiras= 14°= 840 NM. It has 2 symbols, corresponding to the 2 islands,
Ascension and St. Helena. B8 on the back side has an “island”, encoding the latitude of
Ascension, at 8°S.- A12 on the front side has a “route” sign and a “boat”, corresponding
to the sailing distance to St. Helena, 12 moiras= 12°= 720 NM. A16 has a “sailing route”
and an “archipelago”, encoding the latitude of St. Helena, at 16°S.

Passage A8 has a “route” sign, confirming the island of Ascension, at 8°S. The “lid”,
“square”, and “Queen” also occurs in passage A24, having an “archipelago”, showing the
discovery of the two islands happened 24 double generations ago (2922-2861). This is at
the start of the 2nd Dynasty. Passage A19 of the generation series A31-22 is part of the
paragraph with A17 and A18, with a “boat”. It shows the discovery happened in the 2nd
generation (2891-2861). Small passage A14 of the generation series A13-17 has a “route”
sign, confirming the discovery in the 2nd generation.

In the king series the passages are counted backwards. Passage A26 of the king series
A19-27 has an “island”, “archipelago”, and “waterway”. It corresponds to the 2nd king
Raneb of Lower Egypt (c.2922-2883). A8, with the “Queen”, encodes his 31+8= 39
years of reign. Important passage A24 (see above) has an “archipelago”, corresponding to
the 4th King Weneg, also from Lower Egypt (c.2883-2866). A17, part of the
Combination, encodes his 17 years of reign.

Passage A22 of the kings series A15-23, and A28-23, has a “route” sign and an
“archipelago”, confirming the 2nd King Raneb. A20 has a “route” sign and an “archipe-
lago”, confirming the 4th King Weneg. Both Kings reigned during the 2nd generation.
So, Ascension and St. Helena were discovered by one of these Kings, between 2891 and
2866.

Madagascar
Passage B2 on the back side has a "boat" and a “route” sign, which indicate that an
important boat voyage occurred during the 2nd Dynasty (Refs.21-24). Fig.9.4 shows a
correct image of this side of the disc, also in a geographical sense. The shape of the
passage resembles a kind of arrow pointing SSE from Egypt (the center of the disc).-
A28-23 on the front side is one of the kings series of the 2nd Dynasty (Ch.8). The history
of Egypt started in the center. For that reason the passages in these series are counted
backwards. The 8th passage A29 contains a "waterway", which indicates that the boat
voyage happened during the reign of the 8th King Peribsen of Upper Egypt
(c.2820-2772).

Passage A19 of the series is in the same paragraph with A17 and A18, belonging to the
important Combination with the “boats”. It is situated on the edge. The shape of A19
resembles the island of Madagascar, located SSE of Egypt (the center of the disc),
indeed.- Passage A17, just mentioned, is the 5th, and last passage of the generation series
A13-17. It indicates the discovery of Madagascar in the 5th, and last generation of the
2nd Dynasty (2800-2769). King Peribsen ruled during this generation. A18, with the
“boat”, encodes his 30+18= 48 years of reign.

Passage B2 with the “boat” is an arrow, pointing to the 5th, and last passage B18 of the
generation series B14-18. B18 confirms the 30+18= 48 years of the King. The last part of
this passage resembles the island of Madagascar, again, located SSE of Egypt (the center
of the disc). So, it is confirmed that Madagascar was discovered in the 5th, and last
generation of the 2nd Dynasty.- In the kings series A28-31 plus 1-5 on the front side, the

8th passage A29 contains an “island” and a "waterway", confirming the boat voyage
happened during the reign of the 8th King Peribsen.

A15-23 is another kings series of the 2nd Dynasty (Ch.8). The 8th passage A16
represents the 8th King Peribsen, again. Note, that its paragraph-line points to A29 on the
edge, which was just mentioned. A16 contains a “sailing route” and an “archipelago”, but
also the symbols of the “power of God”. This passage encodes the SE Cape of
Mozambique, at 16°S, as well as the sailing direction of 16° ESE from this Cape to West
Madagascar, at the same latitude. A16, containing 4 symbols, is in the 4th turn on this
side, twice encoding the sailing distance of 4 moiras= 4°= 240 NM.- Last passage A23 of
this series also contains the symbols of the “power of God”. It symbolizes the holy Tropic
of Capricorn, at 23°S, which runs over South Madagascar.

Passage A2 on the front side symbolizes the 2nd Dynasty. It is part of the generation
series A1-5. Last passage A5 has two “route” signs, confirming the discovery in the 5th
generation.- Passage A12 of the Combination has a “boat”. It corresponds with the North
Cape of Madagascar, and with the islands of the Comores, at 12°S. Passage A26 has a
“waterway”. It corresponds with the South Cape of Madagascar, at 26°S.

Passage A2 contains the symbols of the “messenger” and the “scroll of the law”. The
same group of symbols appears in B24 on the back side. It is the 5th, and last passage of
the generation series B20-24, confirming the discovery in the 5th generation of the 2nd
Dynasty.- The same group appears in passage A31, at the start of the generation series
A31-22. The 5th, and last passage A22 has a “route” and an “archipelago”, confirming
the discovery in the 5th generation.- A19-27 is one of the king series of the 2nd Dynasty.
Passage A19 represents the island of Madagascar (see above). The previous, or 8th
passage A20 has a “route” sign and an “archipelago”, confirming its discovery by the 8th
King Peribsen.

Passage B22 on the back side is the first one of the series B22-24, indicating the double
generations of this Dynasty. It has a “boat” and a “crossing” sign, confirming the
discovery of Madagascar 22 double generations ago (2800-2739). The “crossing” sign in
the passage depicts the “sailing route” from Mozambique to Madagascar. The sign of the
“scraper” shows the island of Madagascar, itself (Table 8.4) (Refs.17-24).

9.4 AUSTRALIA
(Djoser, 3rd Dynasty)
Passage B1 on the back side symbolizes the 1st Dynasty (Fig.9.4). It points from Egypt
(the center of the disc) ESE in the direction of Singapore, at 1°N, an important division
of sailing routes (Refs.21-24). A piece of line runs from B1 to B10, which has the shape
of the South Chinese Sea, at about 10°N. People discovered the area around it during the
1st Dynasty: Indonesia, the Philippines, and Taiwan. The piece of line at the end of B3,
and a second line parallel to it, symbolize the south coast of Korea, at 31+3= 34°N. The
first three passages represent Dynasties 1, 2, and 3, respectively. So, the discoveries in
the east during these dynasties were all south of Korea Peninsula.

Passage B3, having an “island” and a “route” sign, represents the 3rd Dynasty, the first
one of the Old Kingdom. The King in this passage looks along the first separation line of
B10 to the edge of the disc. So, the King looks along the island of Sumatra, the southern
end of the South Chinese Sea, SE, in the direction of Australia. The important edge has
12 passages, encoding the north coasts of Australia, at 12°S, 120 moiras= 120°= 7,200

NM east of Egypt (Refs.13,21-24). Important passage A3 on the front side (Fig.9.3) also
represents the 3rd Dynasty. A3 and B3 contain together 7+5= 12 symbols, confirming it.
So, Australia was discovered by the Egyptians in the 3rd Dynasty (Refs.21-24).

First passage B29 of the generation series B29-19 (Ch.8) contains an “island” and a
“waterway”, suggesting an important boat voyage during the first generation of the 3rd
Dynasty (2769-2739). First passage A29 of the generation series A29-31 on the front side
also has these symbols, confirming it.

A24-31 on the front side is a kings series of the 3rd Dynasty (Ch.8). The history of Egypt
started in the center. For that reason the passages in these series are counted backwards.-
The 2nd passage A30 of this kings series represents the 2nd King Djoser (c.2753-2723).
The temple in the passage may indicate his pyramide complex near Sakkara, at 30°N.
A30 also encodes his 30 years of reign.- The 2nd passage A26 of the kings series A19-27
also represents the 2nd King Djoser. It contains a "waterway", indicating important boat
voyages during his reign. This King ruled during the first generation. So, during the first
generation of the 3rd Dynasty the 2nd King Djoser discovered Australia. Both passages
A29 and A26 are situated on the edge, which contains 12 passages, confirming the north
coasts of Australia, at 12°S, 120 moiras east of Egypt (Table 8.3).

First passage A10 of the generation series A10-12 has a “sailing route” and an “archi-
pelago”. It symbolizes the first generation, when Australia was discovered. The shape of
the passage, with the symbols for the “power of God”, resembles the shape of the
continent of Australia, upside down. A10 encodes narrow Torres Strait, between New
Guinea and Australia, at 10°S. Like Australia, the passage is situated SE of the center of
the disc, representing Singapore. The generation series A10-12 is part of the important
Combination (A10,11,12/A16,17,18), describing religious boat voyages. Passage A12
has a “route” sign and a “boat”, confirming the discovery of the north coasts of Australia,
at 12°S, 120 moiras east of Egypt.

Passage A13 is equal to A10, having the shape of Australia. It is the 2nd passage of the
kings series A6-14, representing the 2nd King Djoser, again. So, it is confirmed that King
Djoser discovered Australia. The 3 identical passages A10, A13, and A16, with the
symbols of the "power of God", confirm the 3rd Dynasty. The total number of symbols is
3x4= 12, confirming the north coasts of Australia, at 12°S.

Passage A10 symbolizes Australia. Note, that the following passages A11-14 form a
series, describing the crossing from the southern islet of Roti (Indonesia), at 11°S, to
Cape Bougainville, Australia, at 14°S. A10, having 4 symbols, is in the 4th turn, twice
encoding the sailing distance of 4 moiras= 4°= 240 NM. Passage A14 correspond to the
sailing direction of 31+14= 45°SE. The disc has 45 different symbols, confirming it. It
has 4 turns on the back side, and 5 turns on the front side, confirming it, again!

First passage B11 of the generation series B11-13 has an “island” and a “waterway”. It
confirms the start of the crossing from the southern island of Roti of the Sunda Islands
(Indonesia), at 11°S, during the first generation. It is the best departure point for Austra-
lia. The complete series of passages B11-14, finishing with the “King”, confirms the
whole crossing to Cape Bougainville, at 14°S.

Passage B22 on the edge contains a "boat" and a “crossing” sign, confirming this impor-
tant boat voyage in the south-east, 22 double generations ago (2800-2739). The "scraper"

in the passage looks like the enormous desert of the continent. The passage symbolizes
the NW Cape of Australia, at 22°S. This is close to the holy Tropic of Capricorn, at 23°S,
symbolized by the last sign of "religion", and by next passage B23. This sign also depicts
the crossing from the islet of Roti to Australia.

The "triangular grater" of passage B25 also symbolizes the enormous desert of Australia,
halfway the north and the south points of Australia, at 25°S. It strongly resembles
Djoser’s step pyramid, with its 6 layers. It encodes the surface area of Australia, 6 square
Moiras. The "carpenters square" in the passage (and in B23) looks like a boomerang, the
national symbol of Australia. The disc contains 12 of these "squares", again confirming
the north coasts of Australia, at 12°S. In conclusion it can be stated that the 2nd King
Djoser of the 3rd Dynasty discovered the continent of Australia in the first generation of
this dynasty, between 2753 and 2739 (Table 8.3) (Refs.21-24,49-51).

Passage A10 on the front side, having the shape of Australia (upside down), encodes
Torres Strait, between New Guinea and Cape York, Australia, at 10°S. Passage B10 on
the back side confirms Torres Strait at this latitude. It contains an “island” and the sign of
“religion”, depicting its crossing to the south. The passages after A10 on the front side
encode important latitudes along the coasts of the continent of Australia. Passage A18 at
the end of the inner part corresponds to the south point of Carpentaria Gulf, at 18°S.
Passage B9 on the back side, having a "boat", symbolizes the crossing of Bass Strait,
from Australia to Tasmania, at 31+9= 40°S. Next passages B10-12 represent the latitudes
of Tasmania, between 31+10= 41°S and 31+12= 43°S (Refs.42-51,70-74,77-81).

Fig.9.1 The famous step pyramid of the 2nd king Djoser (c.2753-2723) of the Third
Dynasty in Saqqara, near Cairo, Egypt. He discovered Australia via the eastern crossing
from New Guinea, at Cape York. The six steps of the pyramid encode the surface area of
Australia, 6 square Moiras, or 7.4 thousand square km.

9.5 NEW ZEALAND AND THE ISLANDS IN THE PACIFIC

(Sa and Huni, 3rd Dynasty)
New Zealand
Passage B7 on the back side encodes the entrance of Bass Strait, between Australia and
Tasmania, at 31+7= 38°S. It contains two "mountains" and a "waterway", suggesting a
sailing route between two islands. One of the islands appears to be Tasmania, resembling
the "island" symbol, upside down. Next passage B8 encodes the south capes of Australia,
at 31+8= 39°S. The text of the passage reads: "The wood (of the ship) leads to the
island". So, it appears, the "waterway" of B7 describes the sailing route from the entrance
of Bass Strait, at 38°S (or Tasmania), to New Zealand, due east, which is the direction of
the passages. Passage B9 has a "boat" and a “route” sign, confirming this sailing route at
31+9= 40°S. The "boat" resembles the shape of New Zealand. The 3 passages B7-9
encode the shortest sailing distance from the entrance of Bass Strait/Tasmania to New
Zealand, 3 Half Moiras= 15 moiras= 15°= 900 NM (Refs.21-24). So, New Zealand was
discovered by the Egyptians.

Passage B3, symbolizing the 3rd Dynasty, encodes the North Cape of North Island, at
31+3= 34°S, passage B9 with the "boat" encodes the entrance of Cook Strait, between
both islands, at 31+9= 40°S, and passage B16 encodes the South Cape of South Island, at
31+16= 47°S. Note, that the paragraph-line of B7, which started this story, points down-
wards to this passage B16, confirming the discovery of New Zealand during this
Dynasty. Passage B7 also symbolizes New Zealand. The “island” at the left side is North
Island, the “waterway” is Cook Strait, and the “island“ at the right side is South Island. It
confirms the discovery, measured along the equator, 70 moiras= 70°= 4,200 NM east of
Singapore, the important bifurcation of sailing routes (Refs.21-24,48).

Passage B9, with the “boat” and the “route” sign, represents the crossing from Bass Strait
to New Zealand, at 31+9= 40°S. Passage B3, representing the 3rd Dynasty, has an
“island” and a “route” sign. The “King” of B3 is watching along the end of B9 to passage
B19 on the edge, having a “boat”. B19 is the 3rd passage of the generation series B29-19
(Ch.8), indicating the discovery of New Zealand during the 3rd generation (2708-2678).
It also encodes the 19 years of reign of King Sa (c.2688-2669), who turns out to be im-
portant.- Passage B10 represents the same crossing of the Tasman Sea, at 31+10= 41°S.
It contains an “island” and a “crossing” sign. Passage B1 in the center of the disc points
to this passage via a double line at the end of passage B3, representing the 3rd Dynasty,
again. Passage B1, having a “waterway”, is the 3rd passage of the generation series B29,
30, 1, confirming the discovery of New Zealand in the 3rd generation of this Dynasty.

A24-31 (using 27a/b) on the front side is a kings series of the 3rd Dynasty (Ch.8). The
history of Egypt started in the center. For that reason the passages in these series are
counted backwards.- The 7th passage A26 of this series contains a “waterway”, sugges-
ting an important boat voyage during the reign of the 7th King Huni (c.2685-2661). The
sign of the “papyrus” in passage A3, representing the 3rd Dynasty, points to the start of
passage A8. A8, with a “route” sign, is also the end of the 7th passage of the kings series
A6-14, confirming this voyage of the 7th King Huni. This King of Lower Egypt ruled
during the 3rd generation, indeed. The “lid”, “square”, and “Queen” in A8 are also pre-
sent in A24. It encodes the 24 years of reign of King Huni.

The 5th passage A23 of the kings series A19-27 contains a “sailing route” and the
symbols of the “power of God”, suggesting an important, religious boat voyage during
the reign of the 5th King Sa. The passage represents the holy Tropic of Capricorn, at
23°S. It also has a “branch” (wood), symbolic for Upper Egypt, at 23°N (Ch.5). Passage

A10 contains a “sailing route”, an “archipelago”, and the symbols for the “power of
God”. It is the 5th passage of the kings series A6-14, confirming this voyage of King Sa.
This King of Upper Egypt ruled during the 3rd generation, too. During a part of the 3rd
generation King Huni and King Sa ruled simultaneously. So, it can be stated that New
Zealand was discovered in the 3rd generation of the 3rd Dynasty, during the reigns of
King Huni and King Sa, between 2688 and 2661 (Table 8.3) (Refs.21-24,44-53,70-84).

Fig.9.2 Granite head of the 7th king Huni (c.2685-2661) of the Third Dynasty (Brooklyn
Museum, New York, USA). He discovered the islands of New Zealand.

Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia
Passage B7 has two “islands” and a "waterway". So, the islands of Micronesia were
discovered, at about 7°N, until the easternmost Ratak Islands, about 70 moiras= 70°=
4,200 NM east of Singapore (Refs.13,21-24). Passage A7 at the front side contains a
“sailing route”, an “archipelago”, and the symbols for the “power of God”, confirming it.
Both passages played a role in the discovery of New Zealand. So, these islands were
discovered by the same Kings, in the third generation of the 3rd Dynasty.

Passage B9 on the back side has a "boat" and a “route” sign, and the "King" in B3,
representing the 3d Dynasty, looks along the start of next passage B10 to the edge with
12 passages. B10 has an “island” and a “crossing” sign. So, the islands of Melanesia and

Polynesia were discovered, at about 9°S and 10°S, until the Marquesas Islands, about 120
moiras= 120°= 7,200 NM east of Singapore. Next passage B11, with an “island” and a
“waterway”, has a paragraph-line pointing to the edge of 12 passages, confirming it.

Passage A10 on the front side has a “sailing route”, an “archipelago”, and the symbols of
the “power of God”, confirming the islands of Melanesia and Polynesia, at about 10°S.
Next passage A11 has a paragraph-line, pointing to the edge of 12 passages, confirming
the sailing distance of about 12 moiras east of Singapore, the bifurcation of sailing routes.
Next passage A12 has a “route” sign and a “boat”, confirming it, again. A12 is the 3rd
passage of the generation series A10-12, confirming the 3rd generation of the dynasty.
Some of the passages on the front side played a role in the discovery of New Zealand. So,
these islands were discovered by the same Kings, again.

Passages B19 and B22 on the back side have "boats". So, the islands of Melanesia and
Polynesia were discovered at about 19°S and 22°S, until the Tuamotu Islands, south of
the Marquesas Islands. B19 and B22 are located on the edge, with a total of 12 passages,
confirming the sailing distance east of Singapore, 120 moiras.

Passage A19 on the front side belongs with A17 and A18 to the important Combination
with the “boats”. It confirms the 19 years of reign of King Sa. Passage A23 has a “sailing
route” and the symbols of the “power of God”, encoding the holy Tropic of Capricorn.
Both passages A19 and A23 confirm the discovery of the islands of Melanesia and
Polynesia at about 19°S and 23°S, until the Tuamotu Islands. A19 and A23 are on the
edge with 13 passages in total, confirming the sailing distance east of Singapore, about
130 moiras. The Egyptians did not discover Eastern Island, about 150 moiras east of
Singapore, or South America. Some of the passages involved played a role in the
discovery of New Zealand. So, the islands were discovered by the same Kings, in the 3rd
generation, again.

Passage B18 on the back side can also be considered as a passage on the edge. It has 2
temples, so the 2 bigger islands of Fidzji were also discovered, at 18°S. Passage A18 on
the front side has a “route” sign and a “boat”, and belongs to the Combination. It con-
firms the discovery of Fidzji at this latitude. Finally, passage B22 on the edge of the back
side has a "boat" and a “crossing” sign, so the larger island of New Caledonia was
discovered, at 22°S, as well. Passage B7 has two “islands” and a "waterway", because
Fidzji and New Caledonia are about 70 moiras= 70°= 4,200 NM east of Singapore.
Passage A7 on the front side has a “sailing route”, an “archipelago”, and the symbols for
the “power of God”, confirming it.

As a conclusion it can be stated, that almost all the islands of Micronesia, Melanesia, and
Polynesia were discovered in the 3rd generation of the 3rd Dynasty, during the reigns of
King Huni and King Sa, between 2688 and 2661 (Table 8.3) (Refs.17-24,70-81,84).

9.6 JAPAN AND AMERICA VIA THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS
(Menkaure, 4th Dynasty)
The discovery of America via the Bering Sea
Passage A4 on the front side represents the 4th Dynasty (Refs.1,2). The “burin” in A4
points to passage A10, which is the first one of the Combination. Note, that the king
series A10-18 describes more than a full circle, which means that they encircled the
planet Earth (Ch.8). The Circle contains 36 symbols, encoding a distance of 360 moiras=
360°= 360x60= 21,600 NM, which is the circumference of the Earth (Ref.13). The
"burin" points to the start of the Combination in particular. So, they organised a sailing
voyage from Egypt (the center of the disc) to the east (in the direction of the first
passages), to the back side of the Earth. The equal passages A12 and A18, with the
"boats", encode the southern Nile Delta, at 12+18= 30°N. So, the Egyptians discovered
America (Refs.7-16).

Passage A4 on the front side encodes the 4th Dynasty, but also the south coast of Korea
Peninsula, at 30+4= 34°N. Passage B4 on the back side also represents the 4th Dynasty.

This passage, with an “island”, encodes the crossing of Korea Strait, at 31+4= 35°N. So,
the islands of Japan were discovered. The "arrow" of B4 and the shape of the passage
point to passage B11 in the east, with an “island” and a "waterway", presumely represen-
ting the Aleutian Islands sailing route. The paragraph-line of B11 points via the end of
passage B20 to the very edge, which means they discovered America via the southern
Aleutians, at 31+20= 51°N (Refs.21-24).

Passage A19 is the 5th and central passage of the kings series A28-23. It represents the
5th King Menkaure (c.2580-2562). It is part of the paragraph with A17 and A18 of the
Combination, referring to religious boat voyages to Central America, the Land of Punt.
The symbol of the "boat" in A18 suggests an important boat voyage during his reign.
Passage A19 indicates, that 19 double generations ago (2617-2556), during the reign of
King Menkaure, Egyptian sailors reached America via the Bering Sea for the first time.

The “route” sign and the "boat" in A18 refer to this important boat voyage to the south
point of the Gulf of Campeche, Central America, at 18°N, and to the 18 years of reign of
King Menkaure. It also symbolized the back side of the planet Earth “18 Moiras” (or
180°) west of Egypt. Note, that A19 is the first passage on the edge. So, the inner part of
the disc represents the Old World, and the edge is the New World.

B27 and B9 on the back side are the last but one passages of the generation series B24-28
and B6-10, respectively. Both have "boats" and “route” signs, which mean an important
boat voyage happened in the 5-1= 4th generation of this Dynasty (2586-2556), which is
during the reign of King Menkaure, indeed.- A26 on the front side is the 4th passage of
the generation series A23-27. It has an “island”, an “archipelago”, and a “waterway”,
confirming the events in the 4th generation. Passage A1 is the 5th passage of the kings
series A28-31 plus A1-5. It represents the 5th King Menkaure (Mycerinus). Note, that
this passage is equal to A4, confirming his discovery of America in the 4th Dynasty
(Refs.52-68).

Passage B19 contains a “flower” and a "boat". Here it is confirmed that King Menkaure
reached America via the Bering Sea 19 double generations ago. Passage B18 contains
two "death temples", confirming that he reached the south point of the Gulf of
Campeche, at 18°N, during his 18 years of reign. This land is the Realm of the Dead, the
famous Land of Punt. B18 or B19 is the first passage on the edge. Here it is confirmed,
that the inner part represents the Old World, and the edge is the New World. So, America
was discovered in the 4th Dynasty by the 5th King Menkaure, between c.2580 and 2562
(Table 8.3). The Phaistos Disc has 45 different symbols, confirming it. The back side has
4 turns, and the front side has 5 turns, strongly confirming it (Refs.21-24)!

Sailing via the Aleutian Islands
Passage B4 symbolizes the 4th Dynasty, but also the crossing from Korea to Japan, at
31+4= 35°N. The “arrow” in B4 points to B11. Passage B11 has an “island” and a
"waterway", encoding Tsugaru Strait, at 31+11= 42°N. Passage A12 on the front side is
part of the Combination. It has a “route” and a "boat" confirming it, at 30+12= 42°N.
Next passage A13, with a “sailing route”, an “archipelago”, and the symbols of the
“power of God”, encodes the start of the Kurilles Islands Route, near Hokaido, at 30+13=
43°N.

Important passages A16-18 with the "boat" form 16+17+18= 51 units, encoding the end
of the Kurilles Route, as well as the southern Aleutian Islands, at 51°N. B20 has a

“sailing route” and the symbols of the “power of the King”, confirming the latitude, at
31+20= 51°N (Refs.21-24,27). Passage A20 has a “flower”, a “route”, and an “archipe-
lago”, confirming it. It also encodes the most important sailing direction from the Bering
and Copper Islands to Attu Island, 90-51= 39°SE. (Note, that in antiquity the use of
complementary angles was very common.) Passage A4, symbolizing the 4th Dynasty,
corresponds to the sailing distance, 4 moiras= 4°= 240 NM.

The "burin" in passage A4 points to the important Combination. The identical passages
A10-12, with the "boat", form 10+11+12= 33 units, encoding the start and the end of the
Aleutian Islands Route, at the complementary latitude of 90-33= 57°N. A26 has an
“island”, an “archipelago” and a “waterway”, confirming the latitude, at 31+26= 57°N.
Passage B27, with a “boat” and a “crossing” sign, confirms it, at 30+27= 57°N. This is
the most important crossing to America (Table 8.2) (Refs.17-20).

Passage B2 on the back side has a "boat" and a “route” sign, corresponding to the
crossing via Saint Laurence Island, at 30+31+2= 63°N, and with the subsequent sailing
distance to the coast of Alaska, 2 moiras= 2°= 120 NM. Passage B27, of the generation
series B24-28, has a "boat" and the sign of “religion”, confirming this “crossing” in the
4th generation, at 90-27= 63°N.

Passage B5 on the back side, having an “island”, encodes the Crossing of the Bering
Strait, at 30+31+5= 66°N. The symbol of "religion" in the passage shows the “crossing”
from the East Cape of Asia to the West Cape of Alaska at this latitude. Passage A23 (E5)
on the front side, with a “sailing route” and the symbols of the “power of God”, is the 5th
passage on the edge. It confirms the Bering Strait, at 30+31+5= 66°N, near the holy
Arctic Circle, at 90-23= 67°N. It is the northernmost line where the Sun still shines at
midwinter day. It also encodes the crossing of the Gulf of California at the holy Tropic of
Cancer, at 23°N (Ref.34). This crossing leads directly to Central America
(Refs.21-41,52-68,70-81).

The first paragraphs at both sides of the Phaistos Disc each possess 4 passages,
celebrating the discovery of America via the Bering Sea in the 4th Dynasty. The second
paragraph on the front side has 5 passages, celebrating this discovery by the 5th King
Menkaure. The second and third paragraphs on the back side have together 2+3= 5
passages, confirming it. Both inner parts of the Disc each possess 18 passages,
celebrating his 18 years of reign.- The name of "Korea" might be derived from the name
of the Egyptian King "Menkaure", who discovered it in the 4th Dynasty. An old name for
Korea is "Tsjosen", which is probably from the Egyptian King "Djoser", who discovered
Australia during the previous 3rd Dynasty.-

who discovered America via the Aleutian Islands, at the south side of the Bering Sea. At
the right side his wife Queen Khamerernebty II, at the left side as the goddess Hathor
with a Sun disc on her head. Note, that the space between the horns resembles the shape
of the continent of North America.

9.7 AMERICA VIA THE SOUTHERN CROSSING OF THE ATLANTIC
(Sahura, 5th Dynasty)
The Discovery of America via the Atlantic
A19-27 on the front side is a kings series of the 5th Dynasty (Ch.8). The history of Egypt
started in the center. For that reason the passages in these series are counted backwards.-
A26 is the 2nd passage of this series. It represents the 2nd King Sahure (c.2510-2498).
The symbols of “island”, “archipelago”, and "waterway" point to an important boat vo-
yage during his reign, as confirmed in the literature (Refs.6-16,21-24).- B19 on the back
side is the first passage of the generation series B19-23. It has a “flower” and a "boat",
suggesting a boat voyage in the first generation (2525-2495), which is during the reign of
King Sahure, indeed. The first passage B1 of the generation series B1-5 has an “island”
and a "waterway", strongly confirming it. The series finishes with B5, with an “island”
and a “crossing”, representing the 5th Dynasty.

The important series of passages A10-12 on the front side is repeated by passages
A16-18. This Combination describes religious boat voyages to Central America, the
Land of Punt. Passages A16-18 point from Egypt (the center of the disc) in south-western
direction, referring to the Southern Crossing of the Atlantic, between Africa and South
America. Note, that passage A18 contains a “route” sign and a "boat". So, 18 double
generations ago (2556-2495), people reached America via the Atlantic for the first time,

during the reign of King Sahure, indeed. They reached the south point of the Gulf of
Campeche, in Central America, at 18°N. So, the discovery of America via the Atlantic
happened in the first generation of the 5th Dynasty, during the reign of King Sahure
(c.2510-2498) (Table 8.1) (Refs.21-24).

Passage B5, with “island” and “crossing”, symbolizes the 5th Dynasty, but also the
sailing distance from West Africa to the Cape Verde Islands, 5 moiras= 5°= 300 NM.
Note that this passage equals B10. Together these form 5+10= 15 units, corresponding to
the southern Cape Verde Islands, at 15°N. The symbol of "religion" in B10 resembles the
Southern Crossing of the Atlantic from these islands, with the wind and the current, to
South America. Passage B5 encodes Cape São Roque (the Holy Roque), Brazil, at 5°S.

Passage B1 of the generation series B1-5, with “island” and "waterway", represents the
first generation. It also encodes the sailing direction from the southern Cape Verde Is-
lands to Cape São Roque, Brazil, at 30+30+1= 61°SW. Passage A31, with “archipe-
lago”, of the generation series A31-22 also represents the 1st generation. It confirms the
sailing direction of the Southern Crossing, at 30+31= 61°SW. Important passage A26 of
the kings series A19-27 represents the 2nd King Sahure, but it also encodes the sailing
distance of the Southern Crossing of the Atlantic, 26 moiras= 26°= 1,560 NM
(Refs.21-24,29-33).

Central America
Passage A5, with two “route’ signs, represents the 5th Dynasty. The paragraph-line
points to A11 of the Combination. It encodes the start of the Antilles Islands Route, near
Trinidad/Tobago, at 11°N. Next passage A12 with the "boat" encodes the first island of
Grenada, at 12°N, but also the 12 years of reign of King Sahure. However, for safety
reasons one usually prefers the coastal route to Central America. Next passage A13, with
“sailing route”, “archipelago”, and the symbols of the "power of God", encodes Point
Gallinas, the north cape of South America, at 13°N. Passage B13, similar to B5, repre-
senting the 5th Dynasty, confirms the latitude.

Passage A16, with “sailing route” and “archipelago”, part of the important Combination,
encodes the Culture along the North Coast of Honduras, Belize, and Guatemala, at 16°N.
Next passage A17 encodes inland Mexico, at 17°N. Passage B17 with the Palace of
Phaistos of Crete confirms the latitude (Ch.3). Important passage A18, with “route sign”
and "boat", encodes the Civilization around the south point of the Gulf of Campeche, at
18°N. Passage B18 with the two "temples" confirms the latitude. It is the center of the
Realm of the Dead, the famous Land of Punt. Passage A19 represents the northern area
around the Gulf of Campeche, at 19°N. This is the last passage of the inner part
(Refs.52-63).

The paragraph-line of passage A5 (5th Dynasty) points to A11, providing the sailing
direction from Cape Catoche, Yucatan, to Cuba, 11°ENE. Passage A23 (E5), with the
symbols for the "power of God", encodes the north coast of Cuba, at the holy Tropic of
Cancer, at 23°N. It also encodes the 5th Dynasty. Note, that passages 25 at both sides
start at a new paragraph. Both encode South Florida on mainland North America, at
25°N. Passages 29 at both sides contain "waterways", because these represent the mouth
of the Mississippy River, at 29°N (Refs.52-57,66-68,70-83).

The Azores Crossing
Passage B5, representing the 5th Dynasty, also encodes Cape Hatteras, at 31+5= 36°N.
Passage A12 with the "boat" is part of the important Combination on the front side. It
encodes Cape Cod, at 30+12= 42°N, but also the 12 years of reign of the King. Next
passage A13 with the symbols of the "power of God" encodes America's Stonehenge
(c.2300 BC) and the south cape of Nova Scotia, at 43°N. America's Stonehenge, a
nautical center for crossing the Ocean, is the most important megalithic monument of
North America (Refs.21-23,31-33). It is also the most important departure point for the
return route to the Old World. The small passage A14, having a “route” sign, encodes
Sable Island, at 30+14= 44°N. Via this little island one crosses to the Azores, in the
middle of the Ocean. However, people orient on Newfoundland. The small passage A17
corresponds to Cape Race, Newfoundland, the East Cape of North America, at 30+17=
47°N (Refs.21-24,39).

Passage A18, with the “route” sign and the "boat", corresponds with the initial sailing
direction from Cape Race to the West Azores, 18°ESE, and the sailing distance involved,
18 moiras= 18°= 1,080 NM (Refs.17-20). A8, with a “route” sign, is the last passage but
one of another kings series A1-9, representing the 2nd King Sahure. Measured along the
equator, he reached the Land of Punt, 8 Moiras= 80°= 4,800 NM west of the continent of
Africa. However, now it symbolizes the Central Azores, at 30+8= 38°N, and the sailing
distance from Sta Maria (East Azores) to Madeira, 8 moiras= 8°= 480 NM. So, King
Sahure discovered this return route across the Ocean via the Azores and Madeira.

Passage A29, with “island” and "waterway", encodes the initial sailing direction to
Madeira, 29°SE. Important passage A3, having an “archipelago”, corresponds to Madei-
ra, at 30+3= 33°N. Finally, passage A5 of the 5th Dynasty corresponds with the sailing
distance to mainland Africa, 5 moiras= 5°= 300 NM (Table 8.1).-

The front side of the Phaistos Disc has 5 turns, celebrating the discovery of America via
the Atlantic in the 5th Dynasty. The 2nd paragraph on this side possesses 5 passages,
confirming this discovery by the 2nd King Sahure. The 2nd paragraph on the back side
has 2 passages, also celebrating this discovery by the 2nd King Sahure. The 2 sides of the
Phaistos Disc confirm it. Both edges of the Disc each have 12 passages, celebrating his
12 years of reign.

Museum of Art, New York, USA)

9.8 AMERICA VIA THE UPPER NORTH (GREENLAND)
(Neferirkare, 5th Dynasty)
Upper North Crossing
B1-5 on the back side is a generation series of the 5th Dynasty (Ch.8). Passage B2 of this
series has a ”boat” and a “route” sign, indicating an important boat voyage in the 2nd
generation of this dynasty (2487-2456). The position of the “boat” is NW from Egypt
(the center of the disc), suggesting the Upper North Crossing of the Atlantic. It is the first
symbol out of 4 in the passage, probably indicating the first of the 4 Kings during this
generation, Neferirkare.

A19-27 on the front side is a kings series of the 5th Dynasty (Ch.8). The history of Egypt
started in the center. For that reason the passages in these series are counted backwards.
The 3rd passage A25 of this series, having 3 signs, represents the 3rd King Neferirkare
(c.2498-2478), again. It contains the “chopper”, which resembles the island of Greenland,

including the crossing to America. The passage symbolizes the crossing from West
Greenland to Cape Mercy, Baffin Island, at the complementary latitude of 90-25= 65°N.
A25 is placed NW from Egypt (the center of the disc), confirming this crossing. Due to
an injury, the paragraph-line of the passage is hardly visible, but it runs to the very edge.
This means the edge is important. Both edges of the disc contain 13+12= 25 passages,
confirming the crossing, at 90-25= 65°N.

The 2nd passage A19 of the generation series A31-22 confirms this boat voyage in the
2nd generation, because the passage belongs to the paragraph with A17 and A18 of the
important Combination with the “boats” (A10,11,12/A16,17,18). The 3 passages of the
paragraph confirm the 3rd King Neferirkare.- Passage B25 on the back side confirms the
Upper North crossing, at 90-25= 65°N. It contains the “triangular grater”. It clearly
represents the south part of Greenland. The dots are the mountains, poking through the
icecap. The paragraph-line shows the crossing to America. It runs to the very edge, which
means this edge is important, again. The passage has 4 symbols, encoding the length of
the crossing, 4 moiras= 4°= 240 NM. Passage B2, with the “boat”, which encoded the
2nd generation, also contains 4 symbols, confiming it. Both passages have the “hammer”
in common. Passage B17, with the Palace of Phaistos, shows this crossing happened 17
double generations ago (2495-2434). Passage B25 and B17 have (besides the “square”)
the “saw” in common.

Passage B20 confirms the 2nd generation in the generation series B19-23. It contains the
“sailing route” and the symbols of the “power of the King”. Passage A7 on the front side
confirms the 3rd King Neferirkare in the kings series A1-9. It contains the “sailing
route”, the “archipelago”, and the “power of God”. It has 3 symbols, confirming the 3rd
King. The corresponding passage B7 on the back side has two “islands” and a
“waterway”, confirming the crossing to America.- Passage A25 in the kings series
A19-27 symbolized this King for the first time. The "glove" in the passage, with 5
fingers, occurs 5 times on the disc, confirming the 5th Dynasty. The “corpse” occurs 5
times on the back side, confirming it again (Refs.52-57,66-68).

The “corpse” is also present in ‘previous’ passage A26, which symbolized the previous
King Sahure. These “corpses” on the edge symbolize the “Realm of the Dead in the west,
at the other side of the waters, in the Land where the Sun sets” (America). Both Kings
reached this land for the first time. The 4+5= 9 symbols in A26 and A27, at the end of
this kings series, represent the 9 Kings of this Dynasty. The 3rd symbol of the
“waterway” represents the 3rd King Neferirkare. So, America was reached via the Upper
North in the 2nd generation of the 5th Dynasty, during the reign of King Neferirkare,
between 2487 and 2478 (Table 8.1) (Refs.21-32,35,40,41,70-83).

The front side of the Phaistos Disc has 5 turns, celebrating the discovery of America via
the Upper North (Greenland) in the 5th Dynasty. The second paragraph on this side pos-
sesses 5 passages, confirming it. The 3rd paragraph on the back side has 3 passages,
celebrating this discovery by the 3rd King Neferirkare. The Phaistos Disc has 2 sides and
1 outside edge, which confirm that it was the 3rd King Neferirkare, who accomplished it.

Fig.9.7 The 3rd king Neferirkare (c.2498-2478) of the Fifth Dynasty discovered the
third, northern crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. His pyramid is located at Abusir, near
Cairo, Egypt.

Bermuda (Unas)
Passage B2 has a “boat” and a “route” sign, showing the discovery of the island of
Bermuda, at 30+2= 32°N. Neighboring passage B1 has an “island” and a “waterway”,
confirming this discovery, at 31+1= 32°N. Both passages are part of the generation series
B1-5. The paragraph-line of B1 points to last passage B5, with an “island” and a “cros-
sing” sign, showing the discovery happened in the 5th, and last generation of the 5th
Dynasty (2403-2373). The paragraph-line of B5 points to similar passage B13, and its
long paragraph-line points in its turn to passage B23 (E5) of the generation series
B19-23. It confirms the discovery in the 5th, and last generation of the 5th Dynasty. It
also encodes the holy Tropic of Cancer, at 23°N.

Last passage A19 of the kings series A19-27 represents the last King Unas
(c.2403-2370), who reigned during the last generation (Ch.8). A19 (E1) represents
Bermuda, at 31+1= 32°N. It belongs to the paragraph with A17 and A18, part of the
Combination with the “boats”. It confirms his boat voyage and his discovery. Passage
A16 of this combination, with the “sailing route”, the “archipelago”, and the “power of
God”, confirms the boat voyage of King Unas at the end of this dynasty, 16 double
generations ago (2434-2373). Seen from Egypt or the Strait of Gibraltar (the center of the
disc), the discovery was done in the direction WSW.

The edges of the disc contain together 13+12= 25 passages, encoding South Florida, at
25°N. Passage A26, with the “island”, “archipelago”, and “waterway”, suggests a new
sailing route was found from the island of Bimini, near Florida, at 26°N. Passage B27 on

the back side, having a “boat” and a “crossing” sign, indicates this sailing route started
from the NE coast of Great Abaco, at 27°N. Both passage and island are situated WSW
of Gibraltar (the center of the disc). The “crossing” sign in B27 shows the sailing route
from Great Abaco in the direction of Bermuda. The “boat” in B27 points to neighboring
passage B16, confirming the discovery of Bermuda 16 double generations ago.

Passage A1 symbolizes the last King Unas in the kings series A1-9, but also Bermuda,
at 31+1= 32°N. It also corresponds with the initial sailing direction from Great Abaco,
32°NE. Both passage A12 of the Combination, having a “boat”, and the 12 passages of
the edge, each encode the sailing distance involved, 12 moiras= 12°= 720 NM. A4 is
the 5th passage of the generation series A31 plus A1-4. Passage A4 is equal to A1,
showing the discovery of Bermuda by King Unas in the 5th and last generation of this
Dynasty.

Passage A4 also encodes Cape Hatteras South, at 31+4= 35°N. Passage A19 on the
front side indicates King Unas, as shown before. Neighboring passage A20 (E2), with
a “route” sign and an “archipelago”, but also B2 with the “boat”, provides his 31+2=
33 years of reign. The other neighboring passage A18, which is part of the important
Combination with the “boats”, corresponds with the initial sailing direction from Cape
Hatteras South to Bermuda, 18° ESE. A18 and A19 contain together 6+2= 8 symbols,
corresponding with the sailing distance, 8 moiras= 8°= 480 NM. A19 is in the 8th
paragraph, confirming it. Passage A19 (E1) also confirms the latitude of Bermuda, at
31+1= 32°N.

Passage A26 with the “waterway” encodes the initial sailing direction from Bermuda to
the West Azores, 26° ENE. Passage B27 on the back side, with the “boat”, shows the
sailing distance, 27 moiras= 27°= 1,620 NM. The “crossing” sign in the passage illus-
trates the long sailing route. Passage B9, with the “boat” and the “route” sign,
corresponds with the West Azores, at 30+9= 39°N. Passages A16-18 of the Combination
with the “boats” form together 16+17+18= 51 units, confirming the West Azores, at the
complementary latitude of 90-51= 39°N. So, during the 5th generation of the 5th Dynasty
King Unas discovered the island of Bermuda (Table 8.1). After a visit to Central Ameri-
ca, the return route via Bermuda to the Azores was an important alternative for the cros-
sing from Newfoundland (Refs.21-24,31,32,69-83).

Fig.9.8 The 9th and last king Unas (c.2403-2370) of the Fifth Dynasty discovered the
Return Route from Abaco Island via Bermuda to the Azores. He is especially known for
the Pyramid Texts, which appeared in the funerary chamber of his pyramid for the first
time in history.

9.9 HAWAII AND ANTARCTICA
(Antef II and Mentuhotep II, 11th Dynasty)
Discovery of Hawaii
Passage B11 on the back side represents the 11th Dynasty. It has an “island” and a
"wa-terway", suggesting an important boat voyage to the east. The paragraph-line
points to the end of passage B20 on the edge, having the symbols of a “hidden sailing
route”, which suggest the discovery of the remote island of Hawaii, in the middle of
the north-ern Pacific, at 20°N.

Egypt is in the center of the disc (B1). The passage has an “island” and a “waterway”,
maybe confirming this boat voyage. B1 points ESE to Singapore, at about 1°N. A line
runs to passage B10, having an “island” and a “crossing” sign. It encodes the position
of Christmas Island, 10 Moiras= 100°= 6,000 NM east of Singapore. Passage B2 has a
“boat” and a “route” sign, encoding its latitude, at 2°N. Passage B7 has two “islands”
and a “waterway”. It encodes the sailing direction from Christmas Island to Hawaii,
7°NNE. The paragraph-line of B11 points to both passages B20 and B21, confirming
the sailing direction to the north over a distance of about 2 Moiras= 20°= 1,200 NM.
B21 has the symbols of a “hidden island”, referring to the remote Hawaii Archipelago,
at about 21°N.

B21 is the first passage of the generation series B21-24 (Ch.7), encoding the discovery of
the islands of Hawaii, at 21°N, in the first generation of the Late FIP (2129-2098). B19 is
the first passage of a similar generation series B19-22. It has a “flower” and a "boat",
confirming the discovery in the first generation of the Late FIP. The “boat” in the passage
points to B10 above it, confirming the positions of Christmas Island and Hawaii, 10 Moi-

ras east of Singapore, when measured along the equator. The “glove” touches the “is-
land” in B10, which refers to the next passage B11 with the same symbol, which previ-
ously encoded the 11th Dynasty. Its paragraph-line points to the end of B20 (Hawaii), ha-
ving a “king”. It is the second passage of the kings series B19-24, encoding the second
king Antef II (c.2132-2084) of the 11th Dynasty, who discovered the archipelago of Ha-
waii (Table 7.4).

Passage A10 on the front side confirms the position of Christmas Island (and Hawaii), 10
Moiras east of Singapore. It has a “sailing route” and an “archipelago”, also present in
A7. The two passages indicate the latitude of Christmas Island, at 2°N. A7 encodes the
sailing direction of 7°NNE to Hawaii. Passage A20 on the edge has a “flower”, a “route”
sign, and an “archipelago”, encoding the island of Hawaii, at 20°N. Next passage A21
has the symbols of a “hidden island”, referring to the remote archipelago of Hawaii, at
21°N.

Passage A10, just mentioned, has a “king”, who touches next passage A11. It symbolizes
the 11th Dynasty, and the discovery of Hawaii, 11 double generations ago (2129-2068).
Its paragraph-line points to passage A21 on the edge. It is the first one of the generation
series A21-24 (Ch.7), encoding the discovery of the islands of Hawaii, at 21°N, in the
first generation of the Late FIP (2129-2098). A21 is also the second passage of the kings
series A20-22. It confirms, that the second king Antef II (c.2132-2084) discovered the is-
lands of Hawaii (Refs.17-20).

Passage A19 is the first of the generation series A19-22 (Ch.7). It confirms the discovery
of Hawaii in the first generation of the Late FIP. A19 belongs to the Combination with
the “boats”, describing religious boat voyages. Passage A18 of this combination has a
“route” sign, a “boat”, and a “king”. It confirms the 30+18= 48 years of reign of king
An-tef II (Refs.21-24).

Discovery of Antarctica
Passage B11 on the back side represents the 11th Dynasty. It has an “island” and a "wa-
terway", suggesting an important boat voyage. The paragraph-line points to the center of
the generation series B19-22. Last passage B22 contains a "boat", suggesting a discovery
in the 4th and last generation of the Late FIP (2037-2007). It is the 4th passage on the ed-
ge, encoding 30+4= 34 units, corresponding to the South Cape of South America, at the
complementary latitude of 90-34= 56°S. In antiquity the use of complementary latitudes
was very common. It also has a “crossing” sign, suggesting a sailing voyage from this
Cape to Antarctica, which is represented by the “scraper”. The dots in this symbol are the
mountains on this continent, poking through the icecap.

The “scraper” has 27 dots, referring to B27 at the other side of the edge. This passage has
a "boat" and a “crossing” sign, encoding the north cape of the Antarctic Peninsula, at
90-27= 63°S, as well as the sailing direction to it, c.63°SE. B27 is the 9th passage on the
ed-ge, corresponding to the sailing distance involved, 9 moiras= 9°= 540 NM. Passage
B9 has a "boat" and a “route’ sign, confirming it. Next passage B10 has an “island” and a
“crossing” sign, showing the discovery of Antarctica, 10 double generations ago
(2068-2007). The paragraph-line of the similar passage B13 points to B23 on the edge,
which has an “island”. It is the fifth passage of the kings series B19-24, encoding the 5th
king Mentuhotep II (c.2026-2014) of the 11th Dynasty, who discovered Antarctica.

Passage A11 on the front side, part of the Combination with the “boats”, also symbolizes

the 11th Dynasty. Its paragraph-line points to the third passage on the edge, having the
symbols of a “hidden island”. It encodes 31+3= 34 units, which confirm the South Cape
of South America at the complementary latitude of 90-34= 56°S. Passage A27 at the
other side of the edge has a “hidden archipelago”, confirming the sailing direction of
c.63°SE to the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, at the complementary latitude of 90-27=
63°S. The first 9 passages on the edge finish with the “king” in A27, present in the 9th
paragraph. These data confirm the sailing distance to this coast, about 9 moiras= 9°= 540
NM. The dots in the “archipelago” of A27 resemble the mountains on Antarctica, poking
through the icecap.

The paragraph-line of A11 points to the second passage A21 of the kings series A20-22,
confirming the second King Mentuhotep II (c.2026-2014), who discovered the continent
of Antarctica. This passage has a “flute”, also present in next passage A22. This passage,
having a “route” sign and an “archipelago”, is the last passage of the generation series
A19-22. It shows, that the discovery happened in the 4th and last generation of the Late
FIP (2037-2007). Neighboring passage A12 has a “route” sign, a “boat”, and a “king”,
confirming the 12 years of reign of King Mentuhotep II. Both edges of the disc each have
12 passages, celebrating his 12 years of reign.

Passage A22, just mentioned, has at the end a “shield, king”. Passage A31, at the end of
this side, has it, too. It is the 11th paragraph, confirming the 11th Dynasty. Besides the
“sailing route”, passage A10 has it also. It confirms the discovery of Antarctica 10 double
generations ago. Passage A24 has it also. It is the last passage of the similar generation
series A21-24. It confirms the discovery happened in the 4th and last generation of the
Late FIP (2037-2007). According to the literature, King Mentuhotep II organized an ex-
pedition with 3,000 men to the Land of Punt (Central America), which appears to be in a-
greement with his discovery (Table 7.4) (Refs.21-24).

9.10 DISCUSSION
In 2002 we published the book "How the SunGod Reached America, c.2500 BC"
(Ref.21). Based on megalithic monuments and petroglyphs in Europe and the US, dates
of discovery were determined, which can be compared with those of the Phaistos Disc
(Table 9.1). According to this book, the SW Cape of Greenland was discovered c.3250
BC, Madagaskar c.2800 BC, Australia c.2700 BC, America via the Bering Sea c.2600
BC, and America via the Atlantic, c.2500 BC (first via the Southern Crossing, slightly
later via the Upper North). All these dates are now confirmed by the Phaistos Disc. The
date of discovery of Bermuda could not be determined with carbon-14 determinations.
For that reason we carefully estimated a date of c.2200 BC, although the petroglyphs of
Dissignac, Brittany, pointed to an earlier date. The Phaistos Disc now confirms this
discovery with a date of c.2400 BC. (Refs.70-84)
