The God Culture: 100 Lies About the Philippines: #12 Lapulapu Rejected Colonialism

 Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns Timothy Jay Schwab's assertion that LapuLapu killed Magellan as a defiant act rejecting colonialism. 

This lie is a direct result of Tim's unfamiliarity with all of the primary sources regarding Magellan's voyage around the world except for Pigafetta's journal. 

https://youtu.be/130c3XUuPEs

Today is a very special day for the world. It marks the five hundredth anniversary of one of the greatest stories in the fight to stop foreign invaders from coming in and taking over our lands. Yes, the story of a man and his followers who indeed stopped the invasion, killing their leader Magellan. Then in a separate encounter killing his replacement and brother-in-law and other leaders and then they chased them out of the country with a fleet of ships. That’s what Pigafetta’s journal says, and we cover. This is an inspiration to the whole world who was being conquered by colonialism yet this man and his people put up a standard and stopped them the story of Lapu-Lapu five hundred years ago today. Wow.

Is any of that true? It's rather disgusting that Tim takes a perverse joy in the death of Magellan. What exactly does Pigafetta say? Well, you see that is the problem. Timothy relies ONLY on the account of Pigafetta. In the description of this video Tim writes:

Do you know the full story of Lapu Lapu? Have you read Antonio Pigafetta's Journal which is the only actual historic account? There are many narratives based on even rumor but the facts are clear. 

What narratives based on rumor is he talking about? In all of his videos and in his book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure Tim never mentions these narratives. Well, the fact is there are other narratives about Magellan's voyage around the world and they are not based on rumor but on the sworn testimony of the surviving crew members. They add details Pigafetta omits such as about the mutiny. He also never tells us exactly why Lapulapu got angry with Magellan.

Fernando Bustamante, the ship's barber-surgeon gave this testimony when he arrived back in Spain:

12. He said: that they killed the said Magellan in a port that they say Matan, because those of the kingdom of Matan wanted to obey the king of Castile, and the said Ferdinand of Magellan said that they had to kiss the hand of the king of Zubú, and they did not they wanted to kiss the hand of the said king of Zubu; And about this the said Magellan went there, and they killed the said captain and seven other men, and wounded other people.

Navarette Colección pg. 294-295

Peter Martyr D' Anghera interviewed the crew on their return and wrote the following in book five of De Orbe Novo:

De Orbe Novo, Vol. 2, pg 158

Leaving the ships at Zubo, Magellan crossed to the island of Matam, visible on the horizon at a distance of only four leagues. He used the shallops and the native boats dug out of tree trunks. His intention was to persuade the ruler of Matam, through his interpreters, to make his submission to the great King of Spain, and to the chief of Zubo; and to pay tribute to the former. The king answered that he was willing to obey the King of Spain, but not the chieftain of Zubo. Thereupon Magellan ordered a fortress composed of about fifty houses, near the royal residence, to be sacked and burnt. He afterwards returned to Zubo, bringing his booty, some foodstuffs which were needed there, as well as several pieces of furniture; but the inhabitants of Zubo, who were hostile to the islanders of Matam, stole the greater part from him.

The king of Matan was Lapulpau and he was not the only king who said he would give obedience to the King of Spain but did not wish to bow the knee to Humabon the King of Cebu. Juan Sebastian Elcano testified that the King of Bohol was also willing to obey the King of Spain but not Humabon.

Said Magellan went from the island of Zubu to the island of Bohol, and to the island of Matan, and invited the batels to make war with all the people so that those of the other islands would obey the King of Zubu; and they said that they would obey the King our Lord, and they would give him parias; but that they were not to obey the King of Zubu, because they were as good as him; I know that they would give gold jewels for the King our Lord.

Navarette Colección pg. 288

The following comes from Dr. Danilo Gerona who wrote a book titled, "Ferdinand Magellan, The Armada de Maluco and the European Discovery of the Philippines." This history is based on years of research and reading primary source documents tucked away in Spain before they became available online. Here is what he writes concerning this testimony.

While Magellan seemed to have used Humabon as a political ally to establish his base in Cebu as a springboard for establishing Spanish hegemony, Humabon, on the other hand had also used Magellan to coerce others to submission to his authority. As Pigafetta recalled Humabon was said to have asked Magellan: “but that if the captain would send him the following night one boat full of men to give him assistance, he would fight and subdue his rival. On the receipt of this message, the captain decided to go himself with three boats.” 

https://sulugardenfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Gerona-Battle-of-Mactan-for-Miagao-with-foreword-from-JRM-and-for-Web-FINAL.pdf

Do you see how this story is not so cut and dry? According to these three men the rest of the story is that Humabon, the King of Cebu, was using Magellan to manipulate others to be placed under his authority. He was playing political chess like those in power still do today. But Lapulapu wasn't having it. He was willing to give obedience to the Spanish Crown but not to Humabon who was his enemy. It's absolutely pathetic that this history is unknown to Timothy Jay Schwab because he relies solely on Pigafetta and calls all other eyewitness testimony rumor. It is also a testament to the fact that he is no real researcher and there is no God Culture Team.

The God Culture: 100 Lies About the Philippines: #11 The Philippines is Cattigara

Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns Timothy Jay Schwab's assertion that the Philippines is Cattigara which is a place located on Ptolemy's map of the world. This lie is a direct result of Tim's unfamiliarity with all of the primary sources regarding Magellan's voyage around the world except for Pigafetta's journal. 

Tim's main and only argument for this erroneous assertion is that Antonio Pigafetta recorded that they set a course for that place and landed at Samar in the Philippines. Thus all other claims are bogus.

Cattigara, Philippines. Finding the Land of Gold. Solomon's Gold Series 15C. 

18:31 So, as you see on the map here Magellan is headed not just to the Philippines but very specifically to between the 12th and 13th degree north which is known as Samar on the map. Just look at it. There it is. Okay you know like Samaria? Yeah Columbus was going where? To meet up with the lost tribes of Israel. Who would name Samaria? Don't know. So hard to figure that out of course. Pigafetta just told us that is where Cattigara is. Done. Settled. This is fact and it's not up for debate.

Actually that is not what Pigafetta says. He says they set course for Cattigara but he never claimed that Samar is Cattigara. In fact the place is never mentioned again in the whole of his journal. Samar is also not in between the 12th and 13th degree.

Let's not forget that Tim claims Pigafetta is the only eyewitness account to Magellan's voyage.

2:00 The problem is well, they ignore history, real history, about as valid as you get such as Pigafetta's journal, the only eyewitness account of Magellan's arrival in the Philippines.

That is wrong on so many levels and reveals the total ignorance of Timothy Jay Schwab and his alleged research team. The fact is while Pigafetta's journal is an important source of information about the first voyage around the world there are other eyewitness accounts. Back in Spain the surviving crew were subject to interrogation. That testimony and a complete description of the voyage can be read at this link but it's all in Spanish. Maximilianus Transylvanus, a courtier of Emperor Charles V, actually interviewed the surviving crew members and wrote a summary of the voyage. 

Now, the book of the aforesaid Peter having disappeared, Fortune has not allowed the memory of so marvellous an enterprise to be entirely lost, inasmuch as a certain noble gentleman of Vicenza called Messer Antonio Pigafetta (who, having gone on the voyage and returned in the ship Vittoria, was made a Knight of Rhodes), wrote a very exact and full account of it in a book, one copy of which he presented to His Majesty the Emperor, and another he sent to the most Serene Mother of the most Christian King, the Lady Regent.

As this voyage may be considered marvellous, and not only unaccomplished, but even unattempted either in our age or in any previous one, I have resolved to write as truly as possible to your Reverence the course (of the expedition) and the sequence of the whole matter. I have taken care to have everything related to me most exactly by the captain and by the individual sailors who have returned with him. They have also related each separate event to Cæsar and to others with such good faith and sincerity, that they seemed not only to tell nothing fabulous themselves, but by their relation to disprove and refute all the fabulous stories which had been told by old authors. 

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_First_Voyage_Round_the_World/Letter_of_Maximilian,_the_Transylvan

In his introduction Maximilianus recognizes the importance and worth of Pigafetta's published journal and tells us that what is to follow was related to him by the surviving crew members. That is crucial for what he writes about concerning Cattigara.

When our men had set sail from Thedori, one of the ships, and that the larger one, having sprung a leak, began to make water, so that it became necessary to put back to Thedori. When the Spaniards saw that this mischief could not be remedied without great labour and much time, they agreed that the other ship should sail to the Cape of Cattigara, and afterwards through the deep as far as possible from the coast of India, lest it should be seen by the Portuguese, and until they saw the Promontory of Africa, which projects beyond the Tropic of Capricorn, and to which the Portuguese have given the name of Good Hope; and from that point the passage to Spain would be easy. But as soon as the other ship was refitted, it should direct its course through the archipelago, and that vast ocean towards the shores of the continent which we mentioned before, till it found that coast which was in the neighbourhood of Darien, and where the southern sea was separated from the western, in which are the Spanish Islands, by a very narrow space of land. So the ship sailed again from Thedori, and, having gone twelve degrees on the other side of the equinoctial line, they did not find the Cape of Cattigara, which Ptolemy supposed to extend even beyond the equinoctial line; but when they had traversed an immense space of sea, they came to the Cape of Good Hope and afterwards to the Islands of the Hesperides.

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_First_Voyage_Round_the_World/Letter_of_Maximilian,_the_Transylvan

At this point in the voyage it is December 1521 and the crew are on the island of Tidore which is in the Moluccas. One of the ships springs a leak but it cannot be fixed. The other ship is told to press ahead to the Cape of Cattigara but they are never able to find it. 

There you go. Simple as that. Neither Pigafetta nor the surviving crew members claim Samar is the Cape of Cattigara or that they ever found its actual location. There is more to this story as those who listened to the testimony of these men decided that Gilolo island in the Moluccas was Cattigara.

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=miun.afk2830.0001.001&view=1up&seq=219&skin=2021

Item: it can not be denied that the island of Gilolo, lying near the Maluco Islands, is the cape of Catigara, inasmuch as the companions of Magallanes journeyed westward upon leaving the strait discovered in fifty-four degrees of south latitude, sailing such a distance west and northeast that they arrived in twelve degrees of north latitude where were found certain islands, and one entrance to them. Then running southward four hundred leagues, they passed the Maluco islands and the coast of the island of Gilolo, without finding any cape on it. Then they took their course toward the Cabo Buena Esperanza [Good Hope] for Spain. Therefore then the cape of Catigara can only be the said island of Gilolo and the Malucos.

Are these men, who were well acquainted with the testimony of the entire crew dunderheads and ninny's who ignored actual history? Of course not. 

Tim ends this video by maligning Scottish Physician and writer John Caverhill.

37:10 John Caverhill deduced in 1767, before this map was created, that's why we want to cover this, that Cattigara was the Mekong Delta. Okay, so, we're talking about essentially Vietnam, okay. So he deduced? Is that an accurate word? Not even remotely. Is that what you call a ridiculous guess founded on nothing but ignorance? You mean he ignores Magellan? You know the actual explorer who found and corrected the course to Cattigara in writing and then he tries to figure it out? But well he's an idiot who ignores history then claims to be an historian. Ta-dah. Enough of this stupidity

Then in a faux retard voice he says:

I be academic so I forget the explorer who landed on Cattigara who left actual coordinates. Uh, no. I'm gonna throw that out and just make up my own location because, well, that's academic.

I agree. Enough of this stupidity. Neither Pigafetta nor the rest of Magellan's crew claim they ever landed on or found Cattigarra. The Philippines is not Cattigara. 

The God Culture: 100 Lies About The Philippines: #10 Pigafetta is the Only Eyewitness to Magellan's Journey

Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns Timothy Jay Schwab's claim that Pigafetta's journal is the only eyewitness account to Magellan's arrival in the Philippines. 

This lie leads Tim into several major errors as we shall see in future articles. 

Cattigara, Philippines. Finding the Land of Gold. Solomon's Gold Series 15C.

2:00 The problem is well, they ignore history, real history, about as valid as you get such as Pigafetta's journal, the only eyewitness account of Magellan's arrival in the Philippines. That would be a DUH!

That is wrong on so many levels and reveals the total ignorance of Timothy Jay Schwab and his alleged research team. It is once more confirmation that there is no research team and that Tim is acting all on his own. The fact is while Pigafetta's journal is a main source of information about the first voyage around the world there are other eyewitness accounts. Does Tim even know that Pigafetta omitted crucial information about the attempted mutiny in South America? 

Volume one of Blair and Robertson's The Philippine Islands gives a brief resumé of these eyewitness accounts to Magellan's voyage.

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=miun.afk2830.0001.001&view=1up&seq=259&skin=2021&q1=resume

That testimony and a complete description of the voyage can be read in volume 4 of the Colección de los viages y descubrimientos. 

https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=jccLAAAAQAAJ&pg=PR1&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

However, this material is only available in Spanish. 

In the May 1st, 1971 issue of the Hispanic American Historical Review Martin Torodash gives an excellent summary and overview of all the available contemporary and primary sources regarding Magellan and his voyage. He begins by stating:

The Magellan historiographer must commence his research with Navarrete in whose Colección, especially the fourth volume, primary source material is contained in abundance. Hundreds of documents concerning discoveries by Spaniards in both the Atlantic and Pacific make this work absolutely indispensable, the very basis of modern historical writing on the discovery period.

https://read.dukeupress.edu/hahr/article/51/2/313/152610/Magellan-Historiography

No where in his books or videos does Tim reference this collection of documents and it's a good bet Tim is not proficient enough in Spanish to read any of its contents. Once again we see he is a very poor researcher who neglects foundational and vital information through ignorance and deceit.

Back in Spain the surviving crew were subject to interrogation. Maximilianus Transylvanus, a courtier of Emperor Charles V, actually interviewed the surviving crew members and wrote a summary of the voyage. 

Now, the book of the aforesaid Peter having disappeared, Fortune has not allowed the memory of so marvellous an enterprise to be entirely lost, inasmuch as a certain noble gentleman of Vicenza called Messer Antonio Pigafetta (who, having gone on the voyage and returned in the ship Vittoria, was made a Knight of Rhodes), wrote a very exact and full account of it in a book, one copy of which he presented to His Majesty the Emperor, and another he sent to the most Serene Mother of the most Christian King, the Lady Regent.

As this voyage may be considered marvellous, and not only unaccomplished, but even unattempted either in our age or in any previous one, I have resolved to write as truly as possible to your Reverence the course (of the expedition) and the sequence of the whole matter. I have taken care to have everything related to me most exactly by the captain and by the individual sailors who have returned with him. They have also related each separate event to Cæsar and to others with such good faith and sincerity, that they seemed not only to tell nothing fabulous themselves, but by their relation to disprove and refute all the fabulous stories which had been told by old authors. 

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_First_Voyage_Round_the_World/Letter_of_Maximilian,_the_Transylvan

In his introduction Maximilianus recognizes the importance and worth of Pigafetta's published journal and tells us that what is to follow was related to him by the surviving crew members.

Another writer who interviewed surviving crew members was Peter Martyr d'Anghiera. He writes about Magellan's voyage in the fifth decade of his book De Orbo Novo.

De Orbo Novo, Vol 2, pg 159

I have asked those who returned to Spain, and especially a young Genoese, Martin de Judicis, who witnessed all these events, what crime provoked the King of Zubo to commit this vile action; the Spaniards think it was on account of women, for the islanders are jealous.

Tim uses two sources for Pigafetta and BOTH include multiple accounts of Magellan's voyage. The first source Tim uses is The First Voyage Around the World by Lord Stanley of Alderley.

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_First_Voyage_Round_the_World

This book has ten contemporary accounts of Magellan's voyage.

The second source Tim uses is Charles Nowell's Magellan's Voyage Around the World: Three Contemporary Accounts. It's right there in the title!  

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.31822013755558&view=1up&seq=9

Keep in mind that Tim tries to pass himself off as some great researcher who has done more true actual research on the Philippines than actual Philippines scholars yet here we see he ignores what is right under his nose. That is not the work of an honest man nor is it the work of a team. He passes by all these contemporary accounts of Magellan's voyage and sticks only with Pigafetta because they do not further his false history of the Philippines. As I noted at the beginning of this article this ignorance will lead him into several errors.

The God Culture: More Awful "Research"

At this point I have written almost 100 articles analyzing the so-called research of Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture. From all I have seen there is no way The God Culture can be a team. If they are they are certainly awful and have no idea how to do actual research. Here is another glaring instance of this incredibly poor "research" from Timothy Jay Schwab and his alleged team.

The Search for King Solomon's Treasure Sourcebook, pg. 148

Nowell's source is out of print but the University of Illinois and University of Michigan allow Limited Search of v. 31 through Hathi Trust Digital Library of the text only of this publishing which affirms on P. 438 the words Nowell is quoting. Here are examples: (https://catalog.hathitrustorg/Record/000681729) 

Now, what is going on here you may ask? Tim is citing Charles Nowell who writes:

Magellan digested Barbosa's work and with his own hand rewrote one passage, which consisted of a list of places between the Cape of Good Hope and the Lequios that were known but not yet occupied by the Portuguese. Magellan's version substitutes for Barbosa's "Lequios" the words "Tarsis" and "Ofir." 

Tim wants to check up on Nowell's source for this claim that Magellan changed Barbosa's book and substituted Tarsis and Ofir for Leqouis. That source is:

29. Denuce, "Les Iles Lequois (Formose et Riu•Kiu) et Ophir," Bulletin de la Societd Royale Beige de Giographie, XXXI, 1907, 438. 

Tim correctly notes that the source is out of print but instead of exhausting all means to find it he relies on Hathi Trust which allows a limited word search of this document.

What is this supposed to prove anyway? That the words Tarsis, Ofir, Magellan, and Barbosa appear in this article? So what? What about the substance of the article? 

With a few clicks of the mouse I found this article in under five minutes.

https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=gS4yAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA435&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false

Roughly, that translates as:

The author of the archive inventory assigns the document the date of 1520-1530, without examining whether there could be any direct relationship between the different pieces contained in the bundle, among others with the Magellan manuscript. Now, the anonymous memoir is nothing more than a fragment of the book of Od. Barbosa, relating to the Far East. The arrangement which the author has adopted in his description differs slightly from that admitted to us given above according to the edition of the Book published by the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon

Sumatra, Cumda, Java major, Java minor, Timor, Vendant, Meluq, China, Tarais, Ofir.

That paragraph cannot be fully understood without reading the previous two pages. I did that but I am not going to print that here. I am not going to do Tim's research for him. In this day and age of artificial intelligence it is incredibly easy to use OCR to translate a book into English. 

Now, there is a lot more in this article about the Lequios islands and thier location.

But as I said I am not about to do Tim's research for him. What is important to point out here is that Tim constantly claims he is part of a research team and has done more real research than actual scholars. Yet we see right here he could not even do the proper research to pull up this article. He is not unaware of the Archive or Google Books yet here we see he was unable to find the actual article to make his case. It's not as if the article does prove his case but still the fact remains Tim's research skills are poor.

There is no way The God Culture is a team. The amount of mistakes which are made on a regular basis prove this out. This article is just more evidence that The God Culture is Timothy Jay Schwab alone.

The God Culture: The Holy Spirit Challenge

In part 12 of The God Culture's Restoring Creation series Timothy Jay Schwab issued a challenge to show him a single verse saying that the Holy Spirit is a creator. 

Restoring Creation: Part 12: Who Is Elohim? Gen. 1:1 Understood. First Day.

37:36 So, in the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the Earth. That Elohim is two, the father and the Son. Again, Holy Spirit's there but there's no scripture that ever attributes the Holy Spirit as a Creator. It's just not there. You can try to add it. You can try to say, you know, it's equated in some context somewhere. That's fine go ahead and do that but we don't, uh, we just don't placate those kinds of thinkings. We, we go with what the Bible says. Uh, so that's not his role. It just isn't, uh, in scripture. Uh, if it was His role then show us the scripture. Well you won't because it's not there.

Challenge met and accepted. Here is one verse that tells us God created the host of the Heavens by his Spirit.

The word translated breath is Ruach. That means this is the Holy Spirit. 

https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/psa/33/6/t_conc_511006

End of story. But likely not because Tim is a hard hearted heretic who has evasions for everything even going so far as to say that the Holy Spirt is not actually eternal meaning without beginning.

Restoring Creation: Part 9: Is Darkness Evil? Or Good?

6:48 When you see the word eternal that does not mean they don't have a beginning understand that as well our spirits are eternal, right? But most certainly have a beginning. We were created, right? Angels are eternal but they have a creation point we're actually gonna cover that very clearly on the first day. Uh, it's just not there uh, you know so trying to take, again, a word, uh, out of its own definition, eternal doesn't mean they've lived forever it means they will live forever, umm it does not mean they don't have a beginning. So, they see that word eternal, uh, used in terms of the Ruach and then they assume Oh that means the Holy Spirt is also from before creation, right? Well actually no. No, it doesn't mean that and it doesn't say that.    

Can you hear what Tim is saying? He is saying the Holy Spirit, the Ruach Elohim, is a CREATION! He had a beginning. He is not eternal God. This is a direct response to a video I made contrasting Tim's doctrine that the Holy Spirt is not without beginning to what the Bible says in Hebrews 9:14.  

Contrary to this blasphemous teaching which denies the Holy Spirit is without beginning the Greek word translated eternal means exactly that!

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g166/kjv/tr/0-1/

How will Tim get out of this one? We shall see in full in his upcoming series about the Holy Spirit. 

The God Culture: Jesus Christ is Not Our Passover Lamb

It is no secret that Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture teaches that the Book of Jubilees is sacred scripture. The problem with that book is that it exalts the law as God's highest revelation and wrongly tells us that the Patriarchs were celebrating the feasts spelled out in the Mosaic law. What happens then is that the meaning of the feasts (Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles) are no longer rooted in the Exodus and lose all their Christological significance as well. Case in point is Tim's teaching about the first day of unleavened bread where he says in no uncertain terms that the meaning of Jesus Christ's crucifixion is rooted in the sacrifice of Isaac and not the Feast of Passover. That means Jesus Christ is not our Passover lamb sacrificed for us.

The Miraculous First Day of Unleavened Bread. Far More Than We Are Taught. This Is Awesome!!!

46:44 Messiah didn't follow the timeline of the Passover Lamb either, many bring that up, he followed the Covenant timeline set in the sacrifice to be of Isaac the son of Covenant. Isaac was offered, of course the angel stopped Abraham, but Abraham in his heart placed Yahuah above his own son. This is exactly what Yahusha is repeating in timeline not the Passover Lamb in that sense. It's about the Covenant.

49:16 He was not crucified with the Passover Lamb. That's nonsense. He was with Isaac's sacrifice.

53:06  There's no logic to him being crucified on Passover, uh, itself which is an evening event and that's just this nonsense. Uh, he would not because, at the bottom on the 15th, uh, that is the same time frame that Isaac was to be sacrificed.

That is absolute unbiblical heresy. The Bible tells us quite plainly that Jesus Christ is the lamb who taketh away the sins of the world and that he is our Passover sacrificed for us. 

At no point in the Bible do we find the death and birth of Christ tied to the birth and death of Isaac. Yes Isaac is a type of Christ as are Joseph, Noah, David, Solomon, and Adam but the meaning of Christ's death is to be found in the Passover and the Passover is rooted in the Exodus and not in anytime previous. Jesus shed his blood on the cross and he leads us out of bondage and into freedom just as the Israelites were saved by the blood on the door posts and lead out of Egypt to the promised land.

What bondage and freedom is that?  Galatians tells us quite plainly the bondage of the law and the freedom of Christ.

Now, there is a lot more nonsense in this latest video from Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture but the main point is covered. Because he uses the Book of Jubilees as Scripture Tim denies that Jesus Christ is our Passover Lamb who has been sacrificed for us. This blasphemy and denial of the plain truth of the Bible is what you get when you introduce nonsense like Jubilees as Scripture. 

The God Culture: 100 Lies About The Philippines: #9 The Philippines is Antilia

Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie once again concerns Martin Behaim's 1492 Erdapfel globe. Timothy Jay Schwab uses this map to "prove" that it shows the Philippines is the legendary island of Antilia. It's obviously wrong and ridiculous. Let's jump right in.

The Island of Antilia has NOTHING to do with the Philippines. Tim cites the Wikipedia entry for this island in his video but he neglects to mention the origin of the legend of this island.

It originates from an old Iberian legend, set during the Muslim conquest of Hispania c. 714. Seeking to flee from the Muslim conquerors, seven Christian Visigothic bishops embarked with their flocks on ships and set sail westwards into the Atlantic Ocean, eventually landing on an island (Antilha) where they founded seven settlements.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antillia

Spanish Christians fleeing Muslim invaders set up a colony on the island of Antilia. That should be the end of the story but because Tim bloviates for an hour I shall have to press on and show his outright mendaciousness. It should be noted that in this video he makes absolutely no reference to this legend except to claim that one guy says its origin is Arabic. 

The Famed Isle of Antilia: The Land Before Time in the Philippines. Solomon's Gold Series: Part 15A

41:39 Another theory famously forwarded by Alexander von Humboldt, whoever he was, not famous as far as we concerned, is that is comes from the Arabic. Oh, really? Cus this isn't an Arabic legend in any sense, so stupid, but let's read it.

That is not an oversight. That is lying! In fact he says the origins of the legend of Antilia extend back to the oldest story of mankind. 

The Famed Isle of Antilia: The Land Before Time in the Philippines. Solomon's Gold Series: Part 15A

8:26 In about thirty years later the explorations of the Portuguese already even uh, prior, uh, Ophir, Chryse in Greek, Argyre in Greek is Trashish, uh, in Hebrew for silver, were found, by Magellan. You will find Antilia right there with them becasue that then disasters into oblivion and now it's called well fiction. Well no it never was. The legend has basis in the oldest story of mankind, the greatest history and leads to the land of creation itself, you're going to see.

As you can see he ignores the actual source of the legend of the isle of Antilia for his own fiction regarding the Philippines which he calls the land of creation. 

Tim further bolsters his claims by employing a faulty etymology that on this map the island labelled Thilis is Antilia. They sound similar to him so that means they are the same place.

The Famed Isle of Antilia: The Land Before Time in the Philippines. Solomon's Gold Series: Part 15A

32:50 Then there is the Isle of Pearl here known as Thilis. Sound familiar? Thilis, Antilia, Anthilis. Hmmm? How about that? Columbus used the name Antilles. Antilis. Anthilis. There you go. No, they didn't put that together back then but that's what it is. Thilis is Antilas, Antilia. That just fits like a glove and you're gonna see why.

1:03:35 What can we say about Antilia? Well, it is a match to the ancient Thilis, a reference to the Philippines even on the 1492 Behaim globe commissioned by the Portuguese government.

That is so wrong it's unbelievable. There is no way Tim could get this wrong unless he did it intentionally.  Here is Antilia as drawn on the Behaim map.

Antilia is the green island just near the middle of the picture. Compare that with what Tim claims is Antilia on the same map!

The Famed Isle of Antilia: The Land Before Time in the Philippines. Solomon's Gold Series: Part 15A

The Behaim map even has a description of Antilia which Tim declines to relate.

The legend, in this form, is told in various places. The principal source is an inscription on Martin Behaim's 1492 Nuremberg globe which reads (in English translation):

In the year 734 after the birth of Christ, when all Spain was overrun by the miscreants of Africa, this Island of Antillia, called also the Isle of the Seven Cities, was peopled by the Archbishop of Porto with six other bishops, and certain companions, male and female, who fled from Spain with their cattle and property. In the year 1414, a Spanish ship approached very near this Island.

When interpreted correctly Martin Behaim's map, which was commissioned by the City of Nuremberg in Germany and not the Portuguese, does not prove any of the nonsense Tim claims it does. Believe me when I tell you there is so much nonsense in this video but the main point, Tim's claim that Antilia has anything to do with the Philippines, has been demolished so it's time to move on to the next lie The God Culture teaches about the Philippines.
