America is not named after a map maker that never laid eyes on her. America is named for a very simple yet complex reason. The elite of our the United States of America worship the Star Merak in Ursa Major. One reason is if you take the distance from the Star Dubhe to the Star Merak and multiply 5 times in the line created between the two you reach Polaris. Now why are we named America? I will only name a few because their are many. I will use the visual example in 2D.
AmericA = A-meric-A ...looks to me like two pyramids with the Star Merak on the ground. The birth of a new star on the surface of Earth.
Kinda curious.
