MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Marylandian -- In tribute to the upcoming 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States of America and Discovery Day of the Cayman Islands, independent researcher and owner of Roman Officer, Inc. David Xavier Kenney and his assistants Linda E. Rouleau and Renee Z. Bakarian are releasing some of Kenney's surprising findings concerning Michelangelo's Cumaean Sibyl fresco in the Sistine Chapel.

Kenney believes Michelangelo included messages in this fresco reflecting Christopher Columbus' discovery of the Cayman Islands in 1503, as well as symbolism suggesting that he had knowledge that the Romans had already made a secret expedition to North America in the late 2nd C. AD. Both the Romans and the Spanish appeared to have a fervent interest in the prophecies of ancient peoples indigenous to North America.

Images on the left of the Cumaean Sybil fresco form the decimal system digits 1503. Michelangelo's Delphic Sybil and Libyan Sybil frescoes also contain images of large Latin bind letters which form the decimal digits 1503, as he must have associated those two Sybils with the West and the Cumaean Sibyl.

The cloak of the masculine looking Sybil forms what resembles a turtle shell on her back, which corresponds to the indigenous Taíno people's mythological hero Deminán Caracaracol (although the Sybil's shell is upside-down). There is a second turtle on the top of her right thigh (Columbus' log reported only two of the three Cayman Islands; both were abundant with sea turtles). Sybil's upper left arm, shoulder and chest contain the outline of an axe (used to cut the turtle shell off Deminán's back). There is a Roman greave above her right shin. Elsewhere there is a reference to the mythical Aspidochelone (Asp-turtle) sea monster.

The "5" in 1503 may represent a Latin abbreviation for the names Christopher Columbus. The decimal system digit "5" resembles the sign often used in the Roman bind letter inscription "CS" for Caesar. The Roman bind numerals VI which are formed by the books in the fresco, and the Roman letters VIC, undoubtedly represent the Roman Legion VI Victrix. The art on the Sybil's turban viewed from various positions shows among other things the defeat of the VI Victrix by eastern archers (Armenians), which according to Kenney's research occurred in North America in the late 2nd C. AD.

Kenney's additional research on these and related topics will be featured in the website Prophecy1776.com that will be launched soon. It will include along with numerous other findings, information about votive artifacts from Spanish Florida made by occultists, some of whom may have been cameo carvers and jewelers from the Kingdom of Naples; and additional Roman and European artifacts that hold even more amazing surprises for those interested in archeology.
