The God Culture
Archaeology Proves Ophir Was in the Philippines (Not Japan’s Ryukyu). Finding Pinto 5 Lequios 9
Fernao Mendes Pinto described a shipwreck in the Land of Gold — Lequios, which Barbosa and Magellan equated with Ophir. For centuries, the debate has raged: Was it the Philippines or Ryukyu?
This is valid academic history from primary sources. And when we test the evidence — geography, archaeology, culture, and resources — the case for Ryukyu collapses while the Philippines stands undeniable.
Geography: Luzon (109,000 km²) dwarfs Okinawa (1,200 km²). Pinto knew the difference.
Culture: Pre-colonial Ivatan stone homes with basements and pagoda-like structures align with Pinto’s record. Ryukyu? No basements.
Archaeology: Excavations in Batanes reveal jade workshops, nephrite tools, and Maritime Jade Route trade networks connecting Luzon, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Ryukyu is missing entirely.
Resources: Gold, ivory, silver — all in the Philippines. Ryukyu had none.

This is not fringe speculation — it’s primary academic history. The real Lequios is the Philippines, not Ryukyu. Watch and see the evidence for yourself.
