The ability to count and measure angles is my specialty, which leads to significant understanding of the symbols used by the ancient seafarers because the sailing needs have not changed over the last five thousand years.
I know how to connect “dots” that result in geometric patterns and images. Comparing these patterns indicates a “common” megalithic sailing language.
I have a well-honed ability to find the reality behind the symbols. Finding the reality of the megalithic secret trips, which became myth, math, metaphor, and music, is my forte.
I am of Irish (McMahon) and Scottish (Mac Ewen, bards of the Campbells) heritage, with hooked fingers having Dupuytren’s contracture. The frequency of Dupuytren’s is high in Scotland and is nicknamed “the Viking Disease.” There are known prehistory cases found in Nile River Dynasty mummies. My symbolic heritage is summarized as follows:
The McMahon Clan crest (left) displays the black ostrich with the gold horseshoe in its mouth. The symbols relate to obedience, safety against evil spirits, and good luck.
The Mac Ewen Clan (center) shows the new shoots from a cut-down tree, for we shall flourish again.
My fingers (right bottom) have Dupuytren’s contracture, a “Viking” disease (right top) traceable to the Nile River mummies. The Vikings need to row and to work the lines and oars, which, in my opinion, created the callus-type growths in the hands.
All of my heritage symbols relate to my sailing heritage: the black ostrich feather seeking gold; writing as ancient bards; and hand deformities possibly related to Nile River sailing. Are the Mac Ewens descendants of King D’Ewen? My symbolic heritage informs and inspires this book.
