Long before the Philippines was known by its modern name, it was home to a powerful and wealthy civilization—the Lequios. Described by Portuguese explorers like Antonio Galvão and marked on 16th-century maps like the Dourado Map, the Lequios were skilled shipbuilders, traders in gold, and a dominant presence in Southeast Asia.

So why were they erased from mainstream history?

In this video, we dive into forgotten archives and ancient maps to explore how the Lequios were not Japanese as some believe—but pre-colonial Filipinos. Evidence places them in Luzon, trading up and down the coasts, with links to major volcanic events like the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.

From the capital of a majestic city to gold-rich trade routes in Pangasinan and La Union—this is a legacy worth reclaiming.

What if the real Lequios wasn’t Ryukyu… but Luzon all along?
In this eye-opening deep dive, we expose the long-buried truth behind Duarte Barbosa’s “175 leagues to the east”—a footnote that leads straight to the Philippines. Journey through maps, records, and forgotten evidence as we reveal that the powerful maritime empire known as Lequios was never Okinawan… it was Luzon and Batanes.

We break down the 16th-century evidence, expose how Jesuit cartography rewrote geography, and unleash the “Jesuit Shrink Ray” that shrunk the China Sea just to fit an agenda.

This isn’t conspiracy. It’s cartographic confession.

✅ Topics Covered:

Barbosa’s 175-league clue decoded

Why Lequios = Luzon, not Ryukyu

Trade wealth, gold bars, and “very good wheat”

Adlay wheat, Elemi resin, and the incense trade

Over 10 royal maps confirming Luzon as Lequios

Mendes Pinto’s 250-league bombshell

How the Jesuits distorted the distances

The collapse of Ryukyu Theory

The truth wasn’t buried. It was footnoted.
Now… the silenced maps speak.

📜 Watch as The God Culture walks step-by-step through Pliny’s ancient maritime itinerary—leading not to India or Japan, but directly to the gold-rich Philippine Islands!
This isn’t speculation. It’s the Smoking Quill.

In 77 A.D., Roman scholar Pliny the Elder outlined a maritime route from China to islands full of gold and silver—Chryse and Argyre—later known as Ophir and Tarshish. This route has been buried under centuries of colonial revisionism, where scholars mistranslated, misapplied, and misdirected his clear words. But not anymore.

👉 We show the actual rivers, promontories, and coastal cultures described by Pliny and prove—beyond doubt—that his Isles of Gold still exist today.
👉 Every step is cited, mapped, and decoded in full fidelity—nothing cut, nothing assumed.

In 1538, Gerardus Mercator published a world map that preserved one of the last cartographic witnesses to an ancient truth—labeling the Lequii Populi at 10°N, right in the Philippines, not Japan or Ryukyu. This episode of The Smoking Quill exposes how Jesuit and colonial manipulation led to centuries of geographic confusion, wrongly relocating the Lequios and Zipangu to Japan. But Mercator’s early maps, along with Ptolemy’s Barusse and Basacata Isles, all point to the Philippines as the ancient Isles of Gold, Aurea Chersonesus.

From Barbosa’s 1516 identification of the Lequios in Luzon, to Mercator’s correction of Ptolemaic errors in 1569, we trace a clear cartographic trail to Luzon, Mindanao, and Palawan as the real ancient lands of gold—Chryse, Barusse, and Basacata.

🗺️ This isn’t theory—it’s documented truth. And even as Mercator eventually bowed to colonial pressure, his maps preserve the original memory. The truth was never erased. Just buried.

The truth is in the field — and it’s been altered. Every year, the Aviv barley inspection claims to guide Yah’s calendar. But what if the barley being inspected in Israel today… is genetically modified? Selectively bred for speed? Planted for fodder, not faith? In this exposé, we uncover how modern Israeli barley and wheat are no longer the signs of the biblical year — and how the priestly calendar never relied on them in the first place. From GPC-B1 gene modifications to engineered early harvests, this is the untold story of why the "Aviv calendar" has no scriptural or agricultural foundation.
