Summary
A V-shaped carving on a Stone a few miles east of Oil City, Pa, tells the story of the Biblical
Flood, which happened in the Sixth Dynasty. More than half of the world population perish-
ed: 2.6 million men (54%). It lasted slightly less than 2+2= 4 months, in reality 110 days. The
precipitation was 9 meters of water. Finally, the glyph provides the periodicity of the Comet,
575 years.
Introduction
Oil City is a town of 11,000 inhabitants on the Allegheny River in northwest Pennsylvania.
The River flows south to Pittsburgh, where it joins the Monongahela River and continues as
the Ohio River. There is a village several miles northeast of Oil City, at its northern shore. At
this site the V-shaped River flows west, after which it bends to the south.
A Stone at the bottom of the V-shaped river bend has a large V-shaped petroglyph (Fig.1). Its
height is about half a meter. The rock is a kind of hard sandstone. - Below the petroglyph are
the remains of a red painted, horizontal line of ochre (iron oxide). Below this line is the edge
of the Stone, but it appears that below the glyph a part of the edge had been removed. It now
forms a kind of arc. (Refs.1-6)

BIBLICAL FLOOD

2. It appears, that the V-shaped carving represents both coasts of South Greenland, which was
already discovered c.3200 BC. The Stone is located at the bottom of the V-shaped river bend.
So, Cape Farvel, the South Cape of Greenland, appears to be important.
The Biblical Flood was caused by a Comet Catastrophe. In antiquity, the Head of a Comet
was symbolized by the island of Greenland, consisting of ice and stones. The Tail of a Comet
was symbolized by the North Atlantic Ocean below it, which contains a huge amount of wa-
ter.
The Disaster happened at the start of the Sixth Dynasty, as shown by the latitude of Cape Far-
vel, at 60°N. The red line of ochre appears to be the 60th latitude line. (The arc below it might
represent a part of the spherical Earth.) Slightly west of Cape Farvel the important SW Cape
of Greenland is located, at 60+1= 61°N. It shows the Calamity occurred during the reign of
the 1st king Tety (c.2370-2338 BC) of this Dynasty. This is correct, because it happened
c.-2344 BC (tree ring dating). (Refs.7-15)
Duration
The V-shaped glyph consists of two pieces of line. It means the Disaster was a two stage e-
vent. – The Nile Delta is located at 30°N, encoding the 30 days of the month. So, the duration
is expressed in days, but maybe also in months. Cape Farvel is located at the complementary
latitude of 90-30= 60°N. In antiquity the use of complementary latitudes was very common.
So, the first time period lasted 60 days, or two months, when the Earth was inside the Tail of
the Comet (or Comet Swarm). The two lines of the V confirm it.
The falling stones were causing horrible forest-fires, and the melting ice resulted in torrential
rains and worldwide floodings. It was completely dark on Earth. - The second time period al-
so lasted 60 days, or two months, when the Earth was outside the Tail of the Comet, again.
The two lines of the V confirm it. - The climate was completely disrupted. The terrible rains
continued, but it also became extremely cold. So, the rains changed into ferrocious snow and
hail storms.
The “complementary latitude” of Cape Farvel on the Northern Hemisphere equals 180-60=
120°, confirming the total duration of 2x60= 120 days. The two lines refer to the 40th latitude
line, 2° below Oil City, at 42-2= 40°N. This line confirms the duration of 4 months.
Oil City is located between 41° and 42°N, which is between 11° and 12° above the Nile Delta,
at 30°N. It means, that the carvers were aware of the fact that the duration might have been
exaggerated. The true duration of the Flood might have been 110 days. The City is located 11
Moiras, or 110°, west of the Nile Delta, when measured along the equator. It confirms this
corrected value.
Casualties
The Stone at Oil City is located at 42°N. The East Cape of Newfoundland (and North Ameri-
ca) is located at the complementary latitude of 90-42= 48°N. It encodes the world population
before the Comet Catastrophe: 4.8 million men. The East Coast of Greenland (Fig.1) is situa-
ted 7 Moiras, or 70°, west of the Nile Delta, when measured along the equator. It corresponds
to the 7 figures of this number.
The two lines of the V show that about half of the world population perished. The “relative la-
titude” of the East Cape of Newfoundland encodes the exact number of casualties: (48/90) x

3. 4.8 = 2.6 million men (54%). So, there were 4.8-2.6= 2.2 million survivors. Most of them we-
re seriously injured.
The piece of line at the right side represents the East Coast of South Greenland. It runs from
Cape Farvel in the south to Cape Brewster in the north. The two lines together encode 2 mil-
lion casualties. Cape Brewster, at 70°N, confirms the 7 figures of this number. Cape Farvel, at
60°N, encodes an additional 6 hundred thousand victims (a number of 6 figures). So, in total
there were 2.0+0.6= 2.6 million casualties.
The two lines make an angle of 36°, referring to the Strait of Gibraltar, at 36°N. It is located
36-30= 6° above the Nile Delta, referring to the Sixth Dynasty, when the Disaster occurred. It
is the exit of the Mediterranean Sea towards the North Atlantic Ocean, which represents the
Tail of the Comet. Its latitude points to the circumference of the planet Earth of 36 Moiras, or
360°, because it was a wordwide Catastrophe.
NW Ireland, at the complementary latitude of 90-36= 54°N, encodes the percentage of casual-
ties, 54%. It is situated 60-54= 6° below Cape Farvel, referring to the Sixth Dynasty, again.
The world population before the Calamity was (100/54)x2.6= 4.8 million men. The number of
survivors was 4.8-2.6= 2.2 million men. The (Central) Azores, at 38°N, are situated 60-38=
22° below Cape Farvel, confirming it.
The meridian of Oil City hits the east coast of Florida at 26°N, encoding the 2.6 million casu-
alties. It leaves the east coast of South Carolina 33-26= 7° above it, in agreement with the 7 fi-
gures of this number. It leaves the south coast of Cuba at 22°N, encoding the 2.2 million sur-
vivors. The 26-22= 4° difference in latitude confirms the four months duration of the Comet
Catastrophe.
Fifth Dynasty
The Central Azores consist of five islands, referring to the Fifth Dynasty which was ended be-
cause of the Biblical Flood. This petroglyph of Oil City (Fig.1) strongly resembles the Ro-
man number V, which might also refer to this dynasty. It might be the origin of this symbol.
In antiquity people counted the years after the Biblical Flood (c.2344 BC), which ended this
dynasty.
Oil City is located in Pennsylvania. Most of the land in the State is bounded on the east and
south by the Appalachian Mountains. The State is called after Transylvania, a region in the
central part of Romania, bounded on the east and south by the Carpathian mountain range.
Sylvania means “woodland”. Penn is from the Greek number “penta”, meaning “five”. So,
this woodland was reached for the first time by people from the Old World in the Fifth
Dynas-ty.
Painted hand stencils, often in groups, are found in caves and on rock walls on all continents
on Earth. Most of these hand stencils were made by the survivors of the Biblical Flood. They
said goodbye to the Fifth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, which was ended because of this Ca-
tastrophe. Sometimes one of these hand stencils turns out to have six fingers. It dates the
group of paintings to the Sixth Dynasty. (see also Fig.2) – Note the origin of the name of
Cape Farvel: “Cape Fare Well”!

4. Precipitation
The piece of line at the left side represents the West Coast of South Greenland. It is located 8
Moiras, or 80° west of the Nile Delta, when measured along the equator. It encodes the total
precipitation during the Flood of about 80 micromoiras= 80x0.11= 8.8, or 9 meters of water.
The meridian of Oil City leaves the coast of South Carolina 41-33= 8° below the Stone, con-
firming it. SW Ireland is located 60-52= 8° below Cape Farvel, confirming it, too. The (Cen-
tral) Azores are located 38-30= 8° above the Nile Delta, confirming it, again.
The Biblical Flood had a profound influence on the climate on Earth. The Azores consist of
three island groups, which illustrate this colder and dryer time period lasted for three centu-
ries, from c.2344 BC till c.2000 BC, which is at the start of the Twelfth Dynasty (Middle
Kingdom).
Periodicity
Cape Farvel, the south cape of Greenland, is located at 60°N (Fig.1). It also encodes the ap-
proximate periodicity of the Comet which caused the Biblical Flood, c.600 years. The Nile
Delta, at the complementary latitude of 90-60= 30°N, confirms the 3 figures of this number.
The three island groups of the Azores confirm it, too.
The meridian of Oil City runs from James Bay in the north to the east coast of Florida in the
south over 51-26= 25° of latitude. It might correct the approximate periodicity to its exact va-
lue of 600-25= 575 years. The east coast of Florida, at 26°N, confirms the 2.6 million casual-
ties of the Flood. The peninsula of Florida has the shape of a Comet. The south cape of Flori-
da is located at 25°N, confirming the true periodicity.
The Stone at Oil City is located at 41.5°N. The meridian of Oil City runs from the shore of
Lake Erie to the coast of South Carolina over 42-33= 9° of latitude. The 9 islands of the
Azores confirm it. It encodes the latitude of the huge monument of Poverty Point, NE Louisi-
ana, 9° below it, at 41.5-9= 32.5°N. Its complementary latitude of 90-32.5= 57.5°N confirms
the exact periodicity of this Comet: 575 years. (Refs.16-24)
Date
Oil City is located between 41° and 42°N, which is between 11° and 12° above the Nile Delta,
at 30°N. It suggests the glyph dates from the start of the Twelfth Dynasty (Middle Kingdom),
which is c.2000 BC. The meridian of Oil City runs from the eastern end of Georgian Bay in
the north to the coast of South Carolina over 45-33= 12° of latitude, confirming the Twelfth
Dynasty. The “complementary latitude” of Cape Farvel on the Northern Hemisphere equals
180-60= 120°, confirming it, again.

5. Fig.2 Petroglyph of a left hand. The four fingers refer to the discovery of America via the
Bering Sea in the Fourth Dynasty. The thumb (the fifth finger) refers to the Fifth Dynasty,
when all the Atlantic crossings were discovered. The glyph was made because of the Biblical
Flood, which ended the Fifth Dynasty (Refs.25-29). (Copper Harbour, Michigan,
probably c.2000 BC) (Courtesy Jay Wakefield, Ancient American, Ref.30)

6. The A_ glyph
The so-called A_ glyph (A-with-a-foot, Fig.3) is located at the other side of the Stone, on its
vertical edge, almost opposite the large V-shaped petroglyph of Fig.1. Its width and height are
only 10 and 5 cm, respectively. It was hard to reach a balanced conclusion, but it appears the
small glyph has two meanings, both dealing with stylized sailing routes (of limited importan-
ce).
The low horizontal line appears to be the (stylized) south coast of Iceland, at 65°N. The right
side of the A is the sailing route along the west coast of Iceland all the way to Cape Raven,
Greenland, at 68°N, which includes the shortest crossing over open sea (4 moiras= 4°). The
left side of the A is the sailing route along most of the east coast of Greenland to the south.
The shortcut from the NW peninsula of Iceland, at 66°N, to Cape Holm, at 67°N (5 moiras=
5°), is also shown.
However, there is a second meaning. The low horizontal line also represents the (stylized)
south coast of Greenland. The right side of the A is the west coast of Greenland, from 61°N to
halfway the shortest crossing to Cape Walsingham, Baffin Island, at 66°N. The left side of the
A is the sailing route along Baffin Island to the south, to Cape Chidley, Canada, at 61°N. The
shortcut along the latitude line at 64°N (5 moiras= 5°) is also shown.
Note, that the whole, flat Stone (of Fig.1) more or less resembles a coast map of Greenland
(not shown). It appears, that the small A_ glyph was made to emphasize the large V-shaped
glyph at the other side represents the two (stylized) coasts of South Greenland. It appears, the
carvers were not sure whether this message would be understood by the future generations to
come. It is clear, the carvers did not know a script to clarify their message further. The top
angle of the A_ carving equals 60°, which refers to Cape Farvel, the important south cape of
Greenland, at 60°N (see above).
Fig.3 The A_ glyph describes two sailing routes east and west of Greenland.

Illustrations
In antiquity people had great difficulties explaining what happened during the Biblical Flood.
It was caused by a Comet Catastrophe. However, this is a very rare phenomenon.

7. Fig.4 shows a large worked Stone nearby. The right tip of the Stone points to the south. It has
the shape of (South) Greenland, which consists of ice and stones. The more or less flat Stone
was hollowed out, as shown at the left side of the photo. In winter the bowl will contain snow,
in spring and autumn it will contain water. A channel was made to the west side (see Fig.4), to
illustrate the Head of the Comet produced a Tail with a lot of water. Note, that a small spring
runs from left to right down the west side, the side on which the photo was taken.

a Comet. (Oil City, Pa, Twelfth Dynasty, c.2000 BC) (Courtesy Mr. J. Leslie)
Fig.5 shows another worked Stone nearby. It was hollowed out on the top and at the left side.
In winter the bowl will contain snow, in spring and autumn it will contain water. A channel
was made at the left side (see Fig.5), to illustrate the Head of the Comet produced a Tail with
a lot of water. Seen from above, the Stone resembles (South) Greenland, again. Note, the little
stream of water at the left side of the photo.

8. Fig.5 A big Stone, with the shape of (South) Greenland, which produces water. It resembles a
Comet. (Oil City, Pa, Twelfth Dynasty, c.2000 BC) (Courtesy Mr. J. Leslie)
According to Thom Anderton (Ref.1), all relevant Stones are at a distance of between 125 and
150 meters from the shore of the Allegheny River, about 20 meters higher than its present,
average water level. It may be, that the positions of all these Stones were at the edge of the
maximum water level of the River during the Biblical Flood (c.2344 BC), to illustrate its
impact.
