I found this posted on the DesertUSA website about the Peralta stone maps. Just wondering if anyone on Treasure Net knows anything about Isogonic Drift that would support or dispute this guy's theory? He continues on with some Jesuit history and the importance of the date 1715. I just copied info about the isogonic drift.

It might be a little easier putting a date on the maps by utilizing information that was available during the time the map was made and comparing it to information that was available in 1949 when they were discovered, and information available today. For example, all maps need a relativly fixed point to navigate by. In early nagation, this point was either the pole star, or magnetic north. Anyone who navigates by maps knows that both the pole star is not fixed nor magnetic north. In 2012 A.D. we will be changing pole stars to Draco. This due to the fact that polaris will move far enough from the pole position as Draco moves in. Hence the long count calendar renews. Magnetic north moves erraticly. Isogonic lines on aviation charts must be redrawn or renumbered every 10 years due to the fact that magnetic north constantly changes. Any map that is intended to be accuratly navigated by, must contain a isogonic drift to make compass corrections by. On the priest map, you will note the code " 8-N-P " This is the isogonic drift devience. ie. from the point of navigating this map, North Polaris is 8 degrees from magnetic north. Hence 8-N-P. is 8 Norte Polaris. Now, if you use the geomagnetic calculator software developed in 1979 and enter in the lat and long of Weavers Needle and the magnetic varience of 8 degrees, it will churn out the date of March to May of 1767. This is the only time magnetic north was 8 degrees off from the pole star. Today it is around 11.5 degrees off and it has been as much as 14 degrees since 1767. The only time this information was at hand was when the map was made and after 1979. In 1949 when the magnetic variance was 13+ degrees, and when the maps surfaced, nobody knew what the magnetic varience was in 1767. The Jesuits were expelled in 1767 from New Spain. Nobody in 1949 would be able to know what to put as a magnetic drift if they were making a fake map. A computor program had do take the isogonic lines from every map in existance and compute all the variences and fill in all the blanks. There are no maps in existance of the Arizona region with isogonic lines anywhere near that time period. It would take a master map making genious to fake the peralta stones, or a Jesuit in 1767 to produce them.

o AM trying alternatives. LOL
