Portuguese Academy of History
Debate with the title of “Columbus or Colon?”
On Wednesday, January 18, 2012, at 3PM a Debate requested by the Cristóvão Colon Association of Cuba, Alentejo, Portugal, is going to be held at the headquarters of the Portuguese Academy of History, with the title of:
“Columbus, or Colon, Facts, circumstances and conjectures”.
The speakers will be Engineer Carlos Calado, Coronel João Brandão Ferreira and Coronel Carlos Neves. All three are Directors of the Cristóvão Colon Association.
The debate will be presided by Professor Manuela Mendonça, President of the Portuguese Academy of History.
The DIRECT and FIRM answer to this question—COLUMBUS or COLON – IS VERY EASY!
Here is the irrefutable answer by this small article I have written. Read it with much attention, because you will NEVER forget this HISTORICAL TRUTH:
In the entire world does NOT exist a Sigla
on which we can
read the name Columbus!
It exists, however, a Sigla in the world,
where we can
read the name COLON!
By Manuel Luciano da Silva, Medical Doctor
It was the Navigator Cristóvão Colon who created his own Sigla. He wanted to create a Sigla so he could spread the name of Christ, and he chose an iconic form for his Sigla.
He even left detailed instructions on his last will, how his descendants should write his own Sigla!
For him to attained his main objective of creating his own Sigla, he must spent many hours studying the various Greek, Latin and Jewish symbols. This way he was able to create a very ingenious and impressive Sigla which has given many headaches to many international investigators. Only a very cultural person had the capacity of creating such an original Sigla!
Things we have to know before reading the Sigla:
(1) The punctuation sign [ : ] which the Portuguese read erroneously as “two dots” -- we must read it correctly in Geek with the sound of CÓLON.
(2) The letters XPO must be read as in Greek Christo
(3) FERENS is derived from the Latin verb FER which means “to cross a river”. Ferry boat is derived from the verb FER. For us to cross a river, we have to use the SPAN of a bridge. But the Span of a bridge in Latin is FOM which was changed into Portuguese as VÃO. Therefore combining Cristo plus vão we end up with the name Cristóvão which means someone who carries Christ.
(4) The punctuation sign [ ; ] which is erroneously read by the Portuguese as “a period and a komma”, we must read it SEMI-COLON or simply COLON as the Greeks read it even today.
If you understand these simple rules you will enjoy deciphering the secret of the Sigla:

Colon Cristo + fõm (vão) Colon
Colon Cristóvão Colon
Salvador Fernandes Zarco
If we follow the rules described above, we will be able to read on the Sigla the name COLON and Semicolon or COLON; The name CRISTO for XPO letters; and the metamorphosis of the verb FER, which created the SPAN of a bridge or FOM which eventually changed into Portuguese VÂO.
All together it will be very easy for us to read in the SIGLA the true name of
the Navigator:
CRISTÓVÃO COLON
Where in the Sigla is the name ZARCO?
To solve this problem we have to know FOUR Jewish rules:
(1) Recall that in Hebrew the name CRISTO means SALVADOR (Savior)
(2) The translation of COLON in Jewish is ZARCO
(3) Remember that FERENS which means “carrying Christ” is an abbreviation of the name FERNANDES (which means the son of D. Fernando, who was the First Duke of Beja, Alentejo, Portugal)
(4) Where in the Sigla is the name ZARCO?
We have to take another look at the Sigla:

On this image we notice that the letter [ S ] has its tail raised like the tail of a dog.
Why? Because the letter [ S ] represents also the Jewish letter LAMED. But this letter LAMED is INVERTED for what? Why?
Look at letter 30 -- called LAMED -- in the Jewish alphabet and compare it with the inverted LAMED of the Sigla.


The Jewish alphabet
Now let us look at the last Jewish rule for us to be able to decipher the name ZARCO.
Here is the rule for the INVERTED Jewish letters:
Whatever comes after an INVERTED letter “it looks, but it is not, it is the other.”
To confirm this Jewish rule we have to pay attention to the punctuation sign [ . / ]
If we consult the Fourth Edition of the American Webster’s Dictionary, we will verify that the dash inclined to the right called ”Virgule”, means “between two words to indicate that the meaning of either word pertains ”. This means that when we open and account in a bank either the husband or the wife can sign the checks.
In the case of the Sigla, the Greek punctuation sign [ . / ] must be read as SEMI-COLON, or COLON, and if the translation of COLON in Hebraic is ZARCO – because the letter LAMED is INVERTED – it DICTATES to us that the name COLON can be substituted by the name ZARCO, as the husband and wife can either sign the banks checks, and vice-versa.
Therefore we can conclude that the Navigator’s baptism name had to be:
SALVADOR FERNANDES ZARCO
For me that I practiced Internal Medicine 45 years, reading the Sigla is very similar to reading an electrocardiogram, because I read what was registered on the EKG.
We should read what is engraved on the Sigla and nothing else.
We do not need the Cabala, nor any mirror images.
If you want to refute my diagnosis of the Sigla, you should base your diagnosis on the Sigla itself, nothing else. Make it a scientific refutation. Anything else will be bull shit !
