Cortez And The Isabella Emerald
In The Year 1519…
There have been many cataclysmic events of tremendous
importance in the history of
500 years ago “The
A prophecy of this Civilization,
made 2000 years earlier, was that the great God Quetzalcoatl a white man with a
red beard would return from the East to reclaim his Empire in the Year Reed
One. As if to fulfill the prophecy, in 1519, the Year of Reed One, Conquistador
Hernan Cortez, a white man with a red beard landed from the East onto the
shores of the magnificent Aztec Empire. Unimaginably, to prevent his army of
only 500 men from retreating he burned his ships. They now had no choice but to
journey into an absolutely unknown world.
They discovered the fantastic City of
This historical meeting at
the crossing of the bridge by Montezuma as he goes to meet Cortez was not just the meeting of two men, but
the meeting of two Gods, two alien civilizations. It was a bringing together of
two worlds, the Old and the New. As Cortez gazed upon the city he stated
it was as if God had carried out two separate Creations: One in the West and
one in the East. Montezuma
presented Cortez with a wealth beyond imagination, a great treasure of Gold and
Emeralds including the large mystical Emerald of Judgment.
Montezuma, called it the Stone of Judgment, the most powerful instrument of the Aztec Culture,
destined to be reclaimed by his God Quetzalcoatl upon his return in the year
Reed One as proclaimed in their Aztec Codex. It was witnessed in the Hall of Judgment
by Cortez as Montezuma stood in his Court in judgment of others. The Emerald of Judgment would communicate
by radiating with an inexplicable luminescence from on top of a crystal
skull.
Cortez described it in a letter to Queen Isabella as “a mystifying
powerful emerald crystal so large that it would fill the palm of her
hand". Cortez proclaimed that
such a powerful instrument should only be in the hands of Charles V, the Holy
Roman Emperor, King of
In The Year 1757…
Over the years the Aztec Empire
totally vanished and the Spanish Empire grew in its place. It became one of
tremendous wealth and power. The 
descendants of Cortez became immensely
wealthy. In 1757 the Zuniga /Cortes descendants empowered with great wealth
requested from the King of Spain, Ferdinand VI to bestow on them larger land
grants in the new world. A courier bearing the signet ring of Cortes
arrived in Cartagena to escort a treasure trove including the mystical Isabella
Emerald, a hundred chests of emeralds,
Gold and Jade Death Masks of the Aztec Emperors, Gold Idols, mysterious crystal
skulls and instruments of human sacrifice, as a persuasive gift in exchange for
larger territories. This ship with its many secret treasures and contraband was
lost at sea.
In The Year 1992…
In 1992 a Zuniga /Cortes descendant approached Victor Benilous,
President of Archaeological Discovery Ventures (ADVentures Inc.), and credited
with the discovery of the oldest shipwreck (1554) in the western Hemisphere,
with a request to locate the shipwreck with the Legendary Mystical Isabella
Emerald and its accompanied secret treasures. The information was too vague to
assemble a typical salvage operation. The ship was mysteriously lost at sea and
witnessed by another ship's captain to have caught on fire and burnt somewhere
in the Bermuda Triangle. The ship's entry was recorded in the captain's log as
being so many hours and minutes from the last time they had seen land. He noted ".... yet another ship
lost mysteriously in these strange waters."
Vic, familiar with the
typical Spaniards' navigational routes but not knowing how fast the ship was
sailing approached a Remote Viewer, whom he had excellent results with in past
projects. The psychic encouraged
Vic to also collaborate with another remote Viewer. Creating a plastic overlay map of the
suspected area Vic shipped it to both psychics for their input. When the maps came back both psychics
had independently identified an area of less than 5 centimeters apart. The search started with the typical
salvage equipment, proton magnetometer, side scan sonar and bottom profiler. The results were incredible, within a 
5 mile radius 7 ships were discovered, 2 were immediately eliminated
when identified as being of Spanish Colonial period (1550's). Vic called on one of his psychics to
come on board, and when he was brought into the area the psychic called out
that there was something there of incredible power and force that was like a
giant beacon calling out to him. He
pinpointed with unimaginable accuracy a position where Vic discovered the only
known 6 sided Star Rose Quartz Crystal Skull next to a silver bar stamped 
with the date 1757. In a
matter of months Vic had uncovered the 964 ct. Isabella Emerald, the world's
largest emerald crystal, and 7 more crystal skulls. Since 1992 Victor has
continued to recover hundreds of thousands of carats of cut and uncut emeralds
and 100's of pieces of treasure including a hidden contraband of Mayan and Aztec jade masks
and gold artifacts in the unprotected International waters of the
The Treasure of Cortez is one of the most important Treasures
ever discovered. It is a time capsule that preserves the material symbolic of
the moment of first contact between two Civilizations, when Hernan Cortes met
Emperor Montezuma and entered the great Capital of the Aztec Empire.
