The Columbus Correction: Setting the Record Straight on Zipangu, Ophir, and the Blogger Who Won't Let Go

A thorough rebuttal to persistent misrepresentations about Christopher Columbus, Zipangu, and The God Culture's research. Addressing obsessive false claims and correcting the record with source-based accuracy.

The God Culture: Clarifying Columbus, Zipangu, and Ophir—Again

It’s remarkable how one blogger—after publishing not one, not two, but three separate blogs on the same topic—still fails to grasp the context, source, and language of a single paragraph. His evolving criticisms only reveal a deeper issue: not simple misreading, but a consistent pattern of misrepresenting facts to prop up a crumbling narrative.

Let us be unequivocally clear:

• The source cited is Washington Irving's respected biography The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus, p.210.

• Irving documents Columbus himself equating the mines of Hayna with Ophir, and his voyage as aiming for Zipangu (Cipangu), a land Columbus viewed as synonymous with ancient Ophir.

• The blogger claims Columbus never made such a connection. That is false. Irving clearly attributes this view to Columbus, and the conclusion is not ambiguous. In fact, even when landing in the Caribbean, Columbus identified Ophir, Uphaz, Zipangu, and Paradise all in the same area he thought was the Philippines. That also is not up for debate and many such sources have been provided, over and over.

Incredibly, the blogger claims this citation disproves the very point it affirms. Worse, he continues to shift his own interpretations as he loses ground.

The Evolving Narrative: From Confusion to Collapse

This saga started in September 2024, with a blog post mocking our citation from Irving’s biography. He ignored the broader narrative of Columbus' beliefs, fixated only on whether the word "rebuke" was used directly, also, negligently forgetting that it is Marco Polo who is the author of the Great Khan's Zipangu account being identified. Thus to rebuke the account, (for those who can think), that means Polo. 

In February 2025, he doubled down. Despite being shown the quote in its full context, he reiterated the same debunked argument, now accusing us of deliberately twisting sources—while continuing to cherry-pick. This is typical behavior hundreds of times from a hack with Colonial bias. 

Finally, on April 1, 2025, he revisited the claim a third time. The irony of choosing April Fool’s Day is not lost on us.

He calls our reading "objectively false," yet ignores:

• The actual logic in Columbus aligning Zipangu and Ophir

• The historical framework of Columbus interpreting Marco Polo's Cipangu as a land of gold, ripe with biblical associations

• Ironically, it was Marco Polo himself who authored the account of the Grand Khan and Zipangu, which makes him directly included in any rebuke. If that connection needs to be spelled out, one may question whether the blogger is approaching this topic with even the most basic level of critical reasoning.

• The fact that Irving does depict Columbus as correcting prior misconceptions—not quoting Marco Polo, but positioning his own discovery in contrast

This blogger cannot or will not make the distinction between Columbus' interpretation of Polo's Zipangu and a literal confrontation between Columbus and Polo (which of course never happened as they lived centuries apart). The idea of a "rebuke" is rhetorical, not literal, and anyone with even modest literary comprehension can understand that.

The Hypocrisy of Perfection

This same blogger routinely mocks simple typos and formatting slips as signs of fraud or deception. And yet, in his March 31, 2025 post, he misspells Timothy Jay Schwab's name as "Shwab." By his standard, this invalidates his entire blog archive and reveals a sinister conspiracy, right? Of course not—it’s a typo. Just like the ones he endlessly ridicules in others.

One standard for himself. Another for everyone else.

The Anonymity Smokescreen

He attacks The God Culture research team for remaining anonymous. Yet he is anonymous, hiding behind pseudonyms, fake usernames, and obscure blog accounts. He’s written over 200 hostile articles, yet finds it offensive that researchers who support Tim and Anna don't take center stage. Their role is research. They give credit where it is due. It’s not about fame. It’s about facts.

This led to his intolerable defamation in which he goes on and on in a blog asking AI if one of our books has multiple authors when TGC has never said anyone else, other than Anna with Tim together, have actually written any of our books except The Mystery of the Three Kings, which author's name appears on the cover, and also that author was defamed by this blogger. He saw Tim and Anna's daughter's name on a Copyright for mailing purposes as "Attention", and launched into a rant even appearing to question the relationship between Tim and her when the idiot could not bother to conduct basic research to realize it was their daughter only being used for mailing purposes so they get the certificates overseas. The harasser even sent that blog to the daughter via email because he knew no one read it and no one cared proving illegal conduct by his own admission. Does he have a brain is a question that comes to mind?

One would think this would be basic research skills of one full of so much bluster yet, one can observe this very topic as an absolute psy-op, and not a real blog, and certainly not journalism. This is likely why this blogger has breached all legal barriers into hundreds of infractions he will soon face, no matter how much he cries because we call him out for what were clearly his own actions, his own admissions in harassing emails, etc. That includes his own sending illegal harassing photos of this couple's children and then, following through to agitate them illegally, and that list continues as well. There is no respect there for the law, and what are rules in the public arena of free speech he tramples and thinks he will not be brought to justice. He will.  In other words, as with this topic, there is no accepting of responsibility whatsoever on his part, and he claims to be a bastion of truth in which he just lied and changed his story over 43 blogs in a documented pattern elevating the crime. Ye,t all he does is bash with no position on Ophir and the Garden of Eden in about 5 years, except nuh-uh of course. Columbus didn't say that... Yet, he did according to a very credible authority which this blogger is not. No one has to agree with Washington Irving but behaving as a child claiming that citing him accurately, as we did, is dishonest and similar is called defamation especially when steered directly at Tim as this blowhard offers many times in any blog in obvious assault. Somehow, he thinks he will get away with that. He will not. Marco Polo is not even mentioned... forgetting he was the author being rebuked with the Great Khan, which is an incredible inept miss from one claiming to even be able to read. That is psychosis on an extreme level which is why we do not engage this blogger and certainly will never mention his name which he hides anyway as a coward, but not for long, who has proven to only be a hit blog deserving of no such. This saga will end however, and perhaps with his imprisonment which the evidence demands in a flood. [2 paragraphs added April 3 as we are not going to publish a lot of blogs on this anonymous blogger's character assassination, but we will address it in writing for documentation purposes, as this blogger will be brought to justice]

The Fabrication About Sources

He claims we "only" use secondary sources. Yet we published a 300-page Sourcebook of mostly primary sources, including translations, facsimiles, and original references for our first book and certainly we maintain mostly primary sources in Garden of Eden Revealed and The Mystery of the Three Kings. To ignore this is dishonest. To continue repeating it after being corrected is libelous. There is no debating a libeler, (as he demands), you crush their nonsense which we do, without stooping to their extremely low level.

We use:

• Columbus’ marginal notes

• Letters from the Age of Discovery

• Ancient maps in high resolution

• Original Hebrew word studies

• A massive cache of sources

This isn't speculation. It’s evidence.

The Verdict

This blogger has failed to disprove our reading of Columbus' interpretation. He has failed to explain why Columbus did represent Hayna as Ophir. He has failed to engage with the broader context of Zipangu as viewed in Renaissance geography. And yet, he insists on accusing, twisting, projecting, and repeating debunked narratives.

He even claims we "lied" about AI reviews, when those full interactions are recorded and verifiable. Unlike his.

This pattern is no longer about disagreement. It's about deliberate defamation.

The God Culture will continue to respond when necessary and expose manipulation when it threatens truth. One obsessed blogger does not define our research—and will never stop the restoration of it. He wants the credibility of a researcher, but acts with the recklessness of a cyber-criminal.

More to come as needed. Yah Bless.
