Following is an excerpt from The Greco Report.
It is an example of mediocrity vying for merit not earned,
which  occurs only at the expense of dignity and integrity.

The Heliocentric System

    The Heliocentric System is displayed in the floor of the central tholos altar of the Temple of Asclepius at Epidauros.  This mosaic shows the sun as being at the center of seven revolving planets.  It is currently on public view at the museum at Epidauros.  The fact that the earth was round and that it revolved around the sun was known to the ancient Greeks.

            In his recently published book, Aristarchus the Samian's  Work on the Size and Formations of the Sun and Moon [Περι Μεγέθου και Αποστημάτων  Ηλίου και Σελήνης του Αρίσταρχου του Σαμίου], mathematician and writer, Evangelos Spandagou, displays a copy of a page of the original manuscript of the book, De Revolutionibus Orbium Celestium, by the Polish astronomer Copernicus, where his debt to the Greek astronomer (Aristarchus) is acknowledged.

            Unfortunately, Copernicus struck out the lines referring to this in the manuscript just before the book went to the printer.  The acknowledgement and the lines crossing it out are plainly visible in the book, and constitute another example of the glory of Greek achievement being usurped by lesser men for their own unworthy aggrandizement.

Note: Even if assumed it was the printer who struck out Copernicus' notation, the latter should have disapproved.

Expansion of Western Civilization: from Constantine the Great to Constantinople and Byzantium and onward to America

NEW BYZANTIUM is The AMERICAS
 We are sincerely pleased you have come to visit our Site and we extend to you our warmest greeting in the highest tradition of BYZANTIUM.  Our Principal goal is to impart to you heretofore intentionally little known facts about BYZANTIUM as the foundation of Western Civilization.  We will avoid knowingly withholding the truth as an aim to social disorientation.  Practice of historical deception must cease.  We hope that you will enjoy our contribution to the fullest.  Welcome.
Constantine the Great began his eventful climb in York, England and reached the apex of his achievement in Constantinople, the City that he founded and named after himself (Constantine+Polis [city]=Constantinople).  By means of these pages, our readers travel through time, touching upon the early periods, including that of Constantine, of historical Constantinople, and of Hagia Sophia—the nexus of the Christian world—to arrive at places and events of our present day.  Our readers reach the outermost limit to which both Eastern and Western Christian groups expanded, bringing forth the flower of Western Civilization.  That limit is the Western Hemisphere as a whole, and in particular the coast of California near San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge where the two groups converged  as they approached from the North and from the South.
