SKELETON
AND MAIO COINCIDENCE, SIMALARITY AND FACT!
Thanks,
for using your curiosity, imagination and patience. As you
will see, these last pages are worth the journey.
Maio
and Skeleton are similarly shaped, taking into account that
Skeleton Island if genuine, was drawn free hand, over three
hundred years past and would account for the exaggeration
and distortion, of its coastal features. However, all of the
main coastal features of Skeleton Island, are, replicated
on Maio.
Coincidentally,
some topographical features drawn on Skeleton island are not
to be found on any Sea chart of Maio, yet, having visited
the island I will show you photographic evidence, which
proves beyond doubt that Maio has those Features and
in the correct location!!.
How
can we be sure that they are of similar size? Maio and Skeleton
both show a number of mountains, running north to south and
some running west to east, approximately ten mountains are
shown on each respective chart, assuming a base area of approximately
one square mile for each mountain, it ensures that the Skeleton
island is quite large and in the same ratio as Maio. Provided
the Mountains of both islands are the same shape and size
(evidenced by photo above). At this point I will concentrate
on the actual features of Maio, giving their description and
location, I would suggest YOU, follow these features on the
Skeleton Chart.
Can
you see the dark outline of a whale shape on which corral
bancks is written.
Off
the N.W. coast of Maio, on latitude 15*15** lays a large sand
bank, topped with grass, it lays approximately 200metres off
a large bay, is whale shaped and stands about three/four feet
above sea level, it could resemble a gigantic beached whale.
It isn’t shown on the sea chart of Maio, so I have drawn it
in it’s approximate position. Notice the words "Corral Bancks",
corral meaning pen. A good place to hold slaves awaiting transportation
to the Americas. They would hardly attempt to swim for freedom
in shark infested waters.
The
bay, off which it lies, is covered with Coco Palms close to
the shore, this point is also the western end of a wide valley,
which narrows into a ‘V’ shape between the two high peaks
on the eastern side of Maio . These peaks lay due north and
south of one another, the southern most of these peaks, is
Mount Penoso, at 1300ft. it is also the largest mountain on
Maio. Rising steeply from the valley floor, its summit forms
a sharp peak, which drops acutely, to a high plateau or shoulder,
which runs due south to the southern end of the island, where
it slopes gradually to the shore.
Laying
to the south west of Penoso is another peak , some 400ft smaller,
almost laying in the shadow of Penoso’s western flank and
having an angular appearance. Further west is a round domed
peak, this in turn is a little smaller than Penoso and gives
the impression of a rounded large hill. These Three mountains
and their undulating flanks, make up the southern side of
the valley.
Due
north of Penoso is the Mountain St. Antonio, approximately
1000ft, it also rises sharply from the valley floor to its
summit, which then slopes gently westward, to become the most
eastward and highest of a chain of six mountains, which are
saw toothed in shape and gradually reduce in height towards
the western shore.
These
six mountains make up the north side of the valley, remember
this is Maio I am describing and no sea chart of Maio has
these mountains marked, yet, they exist and are replicated
on Skeleton Island.
Strange!
Where
the eastern end of this valley drops toward the coast the
valley forms into gullies, which initially drop quickly
to near sea level and level off towards the shore. One
of these gullies which lay on 15*15** has a man made, well
, set just back from the beach, coincidentally Skeleton
Islands Death Valley is punctuated with a full stop, or
dot. Where as, most of the other written text on Skeleton,
finishes with a Diamond Shape. Could the Dot represent the
Well!?
Towards
the southern end of the Island and laying west of this end
of Penoso is a much smaller hill, this is also roughly rounded
in shape, but much smaller than the rest. To the southwest
of this hill lays the only rocky section of coastline on
Maio. A small town with a tiny fort sits on this south west
coast. Francis Drake was rumoured to have started this forts
construction.
Due
north of the town , the landscape changes to low, dry, barren
foothills, ending in salt pans on the western shore, travelling
north through this desert landscape we arrive back to the
palms on the western shore at latitude 15*15**.
Due
east of these palms at the widest part of the valley, a
new grove of trees have recently been planted, they resemble
fir, or pine trees, but are in fact a tall slim tree of
the Acacia family.
Making
enquiries, I gather that the new forest was being planted
to regenerate, the original forest which disappeared some
330 years ago, due to drought and the inhabitants, who used
it for ship repair and charcoal for cooking. Incidentally,
the Cape Verdi are the only island group in the tropics
which have tropical palms etc at its coast line, yet its
mountains and high valleys on some of the islands grow fir
and pine trees.!!
Why,
on Skeleton island, has the (artist) drawn two specific
types of Tree?? At this point, an objective observer, should
be more than intrigued to see a little more.
