3. Plus Ultra is the national motto of Spain.

    In Latin plus ultra means further beyond. During Antiquity in Europe the Strait of Gibraltar was the edge of the known world so that it was called Non Plus Ultra (nothing further beyond). With the start of the Great Geographical Discoveries (the discovery of the New World by Columbus) the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V adopted the motto Plus Ultra. At this time it meant to broaden your horizons, discover new lands, take risks and overcome your flaws in order to achieve excellence. So, Plus Ultra had the purpose to encourage Spanish explorers during the Renaissance.

4. Plus Ultra was a society.

    Wealthy and intelligent people such as Gustave Eiffel, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla and Walt Disney were part of the secret Plus Ultra Society. They all wanted to make more beyond and set up a technocracy.
