Reinoud M. <\/strong>d<\/strong>e Jonge <\/strong>is a Dutch chemist with a passionate interest in megalithic art. He \"de<\/a>is co-author with J.S. Wakefield of,How the Sun God Reached America<\/em>[751<\/a>]<\/sup>. In a 2009 article(a)<\/sup> he presented what I consider to be a highly speculative interpretation of markings on a pot, discovered at Poverty Point<\/a>, from which he divined an incredible<\/em> amount of detail regarding the ancient American copper trade with the Old World.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the same paper he boldly claims, \u201cthat during the whole period of the copper trade<\/a>, America was part of the Egyptian Empire\u201d and that during the Old Kingdom \u201cthis huge empire was known as Atlantis<\/em>\u201d! Now there\u2019s the lid off a can of worms.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

De Jonge and Wakefield have now published their theory regarding American copper in the Mediterranean in the third millennium BC, in a new book, Rocks & Rows, Sailing Routes across the Atlantic and the Copper Trade<\/em>[760<\/a>]<\/sup>. The book had a supporting website, now offline, where a sample chapter could be read(b)<\/sup>, that relates to the identification of Michigan copper in the ancient Mediterranean. Not long afterwards, Wakefield published a related paper on Graham Hancock’s website as Author of the Month(g)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

De Jonge has also offered a decipherment of the enigmatic Phaistos Disc<\/a>(d)<\/sup> in a series of over 12 papers at Academia.edu.(h)<\/sup><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additionally in the field of catastrophism he has produced a useful list of catastrophes from 3201 BC, until 550 AD(c)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

De Jonge has written a series of six papers on the ‘<\/em>The Comet Catastrophe of c.2345 BC.’<\/em> (f)<\/sup><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many of his papers are available on the academia.edu<\/em> website(e)<\/sup> , but be warned, he appears to have turned speculation into an art form!<\/p>\n
