Dighton Rock: it is not mystery, it is ignorance!

By Manuel Luciano da Silva, Medical Doctor

Since 1680, - 320 years ago -  when Reverend John  Danforth made the first drawing of the Dighton Rock inscriptions,  more than 200 writers have used three adjectives  while describing the engravings on this  important American Monument: controversial,  polemic   and  mysterious. Why such adjectives? To cover up their IGNORANCE of the Portuguese National  Symbols!

When I call them IGNORANT  they become offended and state that  that I am using INFLAMMATORY  LANGUAGE!   Poor fellows!... 

                                                                                    I was called "Mental Deficient"

On January 26th, 1946, -- almost 64 years ago -- as an immigrant from Continental Portugal, I arrived in Brooklyn, New York City, as an American citizen, because my father was an American citizen before I was born. Because I entered the USA as an American citizen, 44 days after my arrival, I was drafted to be examined by the American Armed Forces, I passed the physical exam, but I flunked the written exam because I did not know English and my draft card was stamped 4FMD meaning “Mental Deficient”.

Despite this classification, I was able to be admitted, on September 1948, into the New York University, Washington Square College, and in 1952, I obtained my Bachelor Degree with a Major in Biology. I might add that five years later, I changed MD meaning “Mental Deficient” into MD meaning Medical Doctor! I can state with pride that I became a very successful physician practicing Internal Medicine for 45 years in USA! Not  bad for a “Mental Deficient”!...

Being officially  classified “Mental Deficient”  when I arrived in New York City in 1946,   was this  “INFLAMMATORY language” or  “EXPLOSIVE language” !?   But  with hard work I overcame the adverse conditions  in  the America society  and I triumphed professionally! 

                              Poor American Encyclopedias! Are they ‘Mental Deficient' ?

Even  TODAY,  NONE of the  American and Anglo-Saxon Encyclopedias have ANY information whatsoever about the Portuguese National Coat of Arms, nor about the Portuguese Cross of the Order of Christ!!!  Why such bias?

I  believe anyone who wants to be honest with  himself  or herself can also overcome the lack of knowledge of the Portuguese National Symbols and  be able  to eliminate all the  MYSTERY  of  the Dighton Rock inscriptions and  be able to  read  the ORIGINAL  engravings!

Let us face it.  Not to know is human.  “Errare humanum  est!  Any one who does not know, and does not want to learn  is a jack ass!   But wanting to learn is  healthy! 

So learn the Portuguese National Symbols and then come and talk to me  and I gladly  will show you  the night photos of the face of Dighton Rock, for you to  have the pleasure of seeing the  HISTORICAL TRUTH!

THERE IS  ONLY ONE TRUE THEORY OF THE DIGHTON ROCK INSCRIPTIONS: THE PORTUGUESE!
 

ALL OTHERS ARE FRAUDULENT, FALSE!!!

                                                                              Conclusion of the Portuguese Inscriptions

Go on a trip to Continental Portugal with your family!  You will never forget  it the rest of your life! I know you  all  will enjoy  your trip  and  return home much more knowledgeable and become  much HAPPIER!
