THE LEGEND OF GERONCHIMPAMO:

PART III: Direct proof of Early Mojave inhabitants on the South Pacific Isles.

Many ignorant and uninformed scholars state that a trans-Pacific crossing by indigenous inhabitants of the Mojave Desert was simply impossible. However, over 70 years ago in early summer 1941 (6 years before Thor Heyerdahl’s Ra Expedition with the Kon Tiki) Professor Archibald Spockwad III journeyed westward on a replica of Monkey Polo’s Kon Teepee raft departing from the port of Sam’s Seafood in Huntington Harbor California.

Spockwad arrived in Pearl Harbor Hawaii a little past midnight on December 7th 1941 to much celebration and fanfare. He proudly announced that this date of his great accomplishment, December 7th, 1941, would be “a date that will live in honor”. Due to unforeseen events that took place the following morning, Spockwad hastly left Hawaii and continued his voyage westward. Below is an aerial photograph of the Kon Teepee as it sailed through the Midway Islands in June of 1942.

Spockwad’s success proved (as is substantiated in his unpublished journals) that the previously uninhabited Oceanic Islands were a result of direct trans-Pacific migrations and pilgrimages of early indigenousness North American inhabitants. Spockwad’s findings show there were too many influences from the Mojave regions of the American Southwest to be ignored. Artifacts such as ApePache Dream Catchers, moccasins, and tom-tom drums were discovered on almost all South Pacific island. Spockwad also documented on how all South Pacfic languages possess heavy influences of ApePache dialects. An early Westward migration from the Mojave Desert was the only logical and plausible explanation.

Rejuvenated interest in Dr. Spockwad’s theories are gaining acceptance among some of the elite within the Tiki community. Recently, the travels of Monkey Polo and the Kon Teepee Expeditions were well documented by the world renowned mapmaker Kirby. Below Kirby’s most recent map accurately depicts the far reaching influence that the descendents of those Kon Teepee settlements had on the development of various Oceanic tiki cultures.

All of this will be further substantiated later this year through the due diligence of notable tiki authority Sven Kirsten. He will lay to rest any doubt of the naysayers and nonbelievers. Unlike Dr. Spockwad, Kirsten’s efforts will not go unnoticed or unpublished. Below is the cover of an advance copy of the forthcoming book that I was fortunate to get my hands on.
