We will see a Throop who was a member or official of the ‘Good Templars’. He is located where I think his ancestors were before Columbus; and in fact even long before that. In much of the Christian tradition there has been a secret that few Christians know, today. The Johannites like Leonardo da Vinci were convinced in John the Baptist whose 'messiahship' was greater than that of Jesus. The Roman Church even had the nerve to say this heresy was a belief of Satan. As far as I can see, they should know all about Satan. It is a concept they developed to foist evil on others. This Throop and others near Kingston are important parts of our story even if we don’t spend a lot of time on them.
"The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources operates a fisheries research station at Glenora, Ontario. This station is on the mountain sacred to the Iroquois because of the clear lake on top of it, the Lake on the Mountain. Glenora is located at the mouth of the Bay of Quinte across from Adolphus Reach. In 1986, the Fisheries Research Board of Canada wanted to know how some extensive historical human phosphate pollution compared with modern concentrations. Early colonists used lye-based soap, a powerful agent of phosphate contamination, and they didn't treat the waste water before returning it to the lake. Was their pollution more serious than ours on a per-capita basis?
About 1,200 Loyalists were known to have landed and settled in Adolphustown in the 1790s, and it was thought that this known and concentrated population could provide evidence of pre-modern phosphate pollution. Accordingly, Concordia University was commissioned to take several core samples from the bottom of Adolphus Reach. (1) This was done over several years. The layer of lye-based phosphate pollution left by the Loyalists was duly discovered.
But something else -- not expected -- was discovered as well. At a level in the cores far below the Loyalist level, another level of intense phosphate pollution was discovered. It, too, indicated the use of a lye soap, but the chemical composition of the phosphates was slightly different, indicating a different process or a slightly different mixture of ingredients to begin with. This second, deeper, and completely unexpected band of phosphate pollution indicated (using the Loyalists as a benchmark) a European lye-soap-using population of at least one thousand persons who dumped waste water in the lake for at least a decade. The date? Based on the depth of the Loyalist layer of the 1790s, this earlier layer dated to about A.D. 1480 to 1520. Since several core samples were taken, and the two separate layers appeared in all of them, there can be little doubt or dispute about the evidence. But who were the thousand unknown Europeans who lived around the sacred Lake on the Mountain about three centuries before the Loyalists arrived at Adolphustown? No one knows.”(2)
Bruce Trigger is the 'expert' on this period of Indians in Canada. He has written volumes on the subject of this era leading up to the arrival of Cartier. In his book Children of the Aataentsic he says that some historians have tried to explain the report of Donnacona talking about these white men with woolens as if they were from Columbus' first voyage. This patent stupidity was also used in Venezuela where white men had the sweat baths unique to the area, as we have seen from Jennings and Lopatin's quoted work.
