"Leathery?" I'm sorr...Americanegro,<br /><br />"Leathery?" I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean by that. Actually, after 16 years of studying runes I do have a very good grasp of the various Futhork's. However, the details of the changes that occurred through the centuries in various countries requires numerous references and written sources to ensure reasonable accuracy. I have over 100 books and papers of source material on runes and know enough to be extremely dangerous. You should keep in mind that the study of languages and runic symbols are two different things. <br /><br />I also need to credit both Nielsen (rest his soul) and Williams for my education with runes when their brains worked properly from 200-2006. <br /><br />However, the point of this blog post is point out the intentionally fraudulent work published by Nielsen and Williams with regard to the Kensington Rune Stone. They deceptively performed a low resolution imaging study they refuse to allow anyone else to review and then proceeded to remove man made features from the inscription, and add others that don't exist in an attempt to manipulate the inscription and try to control the question of authenticity. It's a criminal act against history and science, in my opinion, and one they should both be held accountable for.

You can see here that so-called scholars like Williams and Nielsen, will go the lengths of renouncing research they previously endorsed and then intentionally commit fraud to support their personal crusade to try to control the history of this continent.<br /><br />Wikipedia is also to blame for the suppression of truth about pre-Columbian history of North America by sanitizing all pages of anything which supports that historical truth. One example is if you go to the Kensington Rune Stone Wiki page you won't see my name or any of my work mentioned at all. It's a fact that I've done more work on the artifact than any other researcher in its history, yet Doug Weller and his crew won't allow any of it to be published on their Wiki page.<br /><br />I can appreciate you might not like the format of America Unearthed; it's an acquired taste for some I suppose. However, I do appreciate your being able to look past the style of presentation and see the positive things we tried to bring forward. Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback over the past four years I'd say we definitely made a difference and opened the eyes of a lot of people.<br /><br />The skeptics, debunkers, and suppressors of the truth will lose in the long run as facts are stubborn things.

I recently watched a program which dealt with Cleopatra's tomb. The most interesting part of the whole thing was a woman, who is a criminal law attorney, might possibly have found the site. So called archeological experts were highly skeptical about her ideas, seeing as she was searching a temple building, thought by mainstream archeology to be just an unfinished temple. Boy were they wrong! <br /><br />And I do believe the "experts" will be wrong in your case as well. All the negative and sad attempts to discredit your work based on your lack of credentials will prove to be wasted effort. If an attorney, with no formal training as an archeologist can find such a site, then why are your theories to be discarded out of hand? I have watched your show, and although I enjoy the material, I am not a fan of the format. That will be as negative as I can get about your work. Devastating I know! I would say good luck, but you have common sense, passion, and idealism, luck not needed.<br /><br />Thank you for the most important thing a human can give; knowledge.<br /><br />Dan UhrichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-67858731377578762312016-04-29T10:34:21.581-07:002016-04-29T10:34:21.581-07:00swolter@amengtest.comswolter@amengtest.comScott Wolterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758613621836354475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-8723859130608488572016-04-29T10:05:54.969-07:002016-04-29T10:05:54.969-07:00Trying to get ahold of Scott, I private messaged y...Trying to get ahold of Scott, I private messaged you on Facebook.

In the meantime, these stoneholes keep talk...Okay. In the meantime, these stoneholes keep talking to me. Yesterday, the waterways were talking to me. Maps are great!<br /><br />There is something new to consider about stoneholes. Why do certain rocks have more than one hole? For example, the so-called Viking Altar Rock has 4 stoneholes: 3 regular-sized or so (a tad large) and 1 rare small-diameter stonehole. But, almost always, there is only 1 stonehole made in each rock.<br /><br />I am going to propose that the number of stoneholes on a site can be meaningful, besides the design they might make...for example, near Appleton, MN, the site of the code-stone I recently found.<br /><br />I was wondering this morning why these rocks at this site are all multiple-stonehole rocks, and what it could add up to...literally. Discounting the many (over 30) late 1800's machine-made, large stoneholes at the site, we are left with 5 medieval Norse stonehole rocks, as follows:<br /><br />The code-stone itself, having 3 holes.<br />3 stonehole rocks in a line on the ridge, each having 2 holes.<br />The rock having a chunk cracked off from a stonehole, also having 2 intact stoneholes.<br /><br />These may add up to 11+, which could indicate the approximate time-frame when the stonehole rocks were made. Perhaps the size of the chunk of rock cracked off, when compared to the original size of the rock it was cracked off from, could possibly be indicating the approximate year. For example, if 20% was cracked off, that could represent about a 5th of a century. So, the stonehole rocks might add up to around AD 1120.<br /><br />This would go pretty well with my current hypothesis that the stoneholes at Runestone Park were made well before the KRS was deposited there, though I don't think they go back as far in time as those out west. My thinking is that the recognized convergence of the Hudson Bay and Great Lakes waterways near the MN/Dakota borders came first, then explorations outward were made from there. So, I think the stoneholes at Runestone Park were made after those out west by the code-stone (near the Whetstone River stonehole clusters), but some time before the KRS arrived.<br /><br />So, it's possible that the stoneholes at Runestone Park were carved between AD 1150 and AD 1300, is my best guess.<br /><br />I've got a photo I took a few years ago of the "Chokio Altar Stone," currently residing at the Runestone Museum, in which it looks like 3 straight lines were etched, with a 4th character looking like a P, but with a "pointed" loop, instead of rounded. I've seen this used as a runic 8. So, the Chokio stone may have the year AD 1118 etched into it. As you know, Scott, Chokio is roughly between the border area and Runestone Hill.<br /><br />So, it kind of looks like there may have been a lot of Scandinavian activity around these parts just after the Viking period ended, leading into the two-hundred-year period of the Crusades--and not just around the later KRS time-frame of the mid-14th century.<br /><br />We're talking about the possibility of plenteous Knights Templar and their associates roaming these waterways, especially out west farther, and many, many years before the KRS came along. Again, I tend to believe that Runestone Hill was marked-up with sacred geometry well before the KRS was left there--which means I also give credibility to the notion that any existing sacred geometry at Runestone Park was originally intended to conceal something besides the KRS.<br /><br />Scott, I think we have two separate situations where stonehole rocks are concealing things buried. I'm wondering how your new-found allegory/allegories may fit into this hypothesis. You may email me in privacy if you wish, though I'm not a Freemason.<br /><br />- Gunn Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-22510457307125006582016-03-28T12:03:05.946-07:002016-03-28T12:03:05.946-07:00Gunn,

Actually, you are one of only a few persons who will be able to appreciate what I'm going to share with you:<br /><br />I just found out that the headwaters region of the Pomme de Terre River is the northernmost extremity of the Minnesota River's watershed--which explains in large part something about why a medieval Norse code-stone might be located where it is.<br /><br />For instance, the Little Minnesota River across the border does not reach as far north, and the Chippewa River (directly associated with the KRS) in MN does not reach as far north, either.<br /><br />So, we may now be more certain about why there is a medieval Norse Code-stone located where the Pomme de Terre River empties into Marsh Lake on the MN River (vaguely speaking). The code-stone, showing in miniature the stonehole rocks' placement on a nearby ridge, almost certainly has to do with surveying and a land claim--something near and dear to your heart concerning the KRS.<br /><br />But for now at least, I'm not at all sure what Runestone Hill was, other than a place to leave oddities behind, like a memorial runestone...and maybe earlier-buried treasure of some kind, or something thought to represent the Holy Grail. I don't quite see the land claim placement you have seen, Scott, but I don't completely discount the possibility, either.<br /><br />The Runestone Hill site was originally chosen out for a specific reason, I think probably having to do with inland mapping. I hope you can add more into the picture before long.<br /><br />Thanks again for allowing me to share some of my somewhat bizarre speculations with you and your readers--and without having to suffer unnecessary ridicule, too! How refreshing.<br /><br />- Gunn Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-53716087687232913352016-03-26T16:16:55.331-07:002016-03-26T16:16:55.331-07:00Anonymous,

Back to the missing treasure.<br /><br />Scott, let's imagine for a moment that some of the waterways in this region were marked by Norse stoneholes well before the arrival of the 1362 KRS party. (I believe this is actually true.) So, again, let's now imagine that the region had been explored and surveyed and marked previously, including Runestone Hill.<br /><br />In this case, the French Templar ships, or some of them, may have vanished towards Hudson Bay or the US East Coast. The question becomes, did they possibly bring precious cargo to far-inland America to hide it from greedy hands? Exactly what was the mission of the KRS party? (How are you doing on the allegory?)<br /><br />As you know Scott, previous translations of the KRS inscription mention the "mission" as basically exploring, but more modern versions seem to indicate acquiring or re-acquiring something, or "up-taking" something. What? Land? A lucrative fur trade? Something else...?<br /><br />So, we might now imagine Templar treasure as a symbol of power being deposited, hidden, at far-distant yet known locations, maybe around 1309 or so...and now we might be able to envision the KRS party going back to either check up on the deposit, or to re-claim it, perhaps. But, since their group was suddenly and unexpectedly reduced by half, they may have aborted any mission of up-taking.<br /><br />Hypothetically then, this would mean that any deposit made at Runestone Hill by escaped Templars soon after the put-down, is still there, surrounded by the stoneholes that were made at the same time the treasure (GRAL?) may have been buried.<br /><br />So then, by extrapolation, the sacred geometric cut-jewel design I discovered laid out upon the ground at Runestone Park may actually be concealing a deposit of treasure left by post-Knights Templar--who had recently been actual Templars.<br /><br />You started my proposed complete design, Scott, with your 3-line triangulation in your Hooked X book. I wonder if the center of the X in the cut-jewel design I found at Runestone Park (by decoding stonehole placement) may be concealing something? In other words, maybe the KRS was an "afterthought memorial adornment," which was placed as the hook on the X laid out upon the ground.<br /><br />Maybe Wm Mann the author is wrong about Venus family placements in strategic geographical "New World" locations, but right about possible treasure deposits.<br /><br />I already personally know that medieval Scandinavians used stoneholes to encode a code-stone out west by the SD border, now I'm wondering about other medieval travelers possibly encoding sacred geometry, using stoneholes, at Runestone Park...to also conceal something or some things.<br /><br />Scott, maybe your proposed allegory has something to do with an object or objects purposely concealed within a sacred geometric pattern at Runestone Park. Like, maybe the GRAL is buried at the center of the X laid out upon the ground at Runestone Park.<br /><br />In this is the case, I think it was clever for the another astute encoder in 1362 to have possibly built upon the work of a previous encoder, by placing the KRS exactly as the hook on the X laid out on the ground.<br /><br />Of course, this is all innocent speculation, and it may all be a coincidence....<br /><br />- Gunn Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-54238315492963074902016-03-25T13:23:16.120-07:002016-03-25T13:23:16.120-07:00I did get into some interesting (code word) situat...I did get into some interesting (code word) situations every now and then but I stayed off the verticals over 5.9 --- no exception.

By many of your working definitions of "hard" science, you must admit that this section of your work is soft, incredibly soft, science. You are interpreting the motives, actions, and behaviors of the past via rune stones, architectural symbolism, etc. Even the most convicted interpretative approach in anthropology would argue that they aren't arriving at an absolute truth, rather meaning or understanding. Your methodological approach is an attempt to mimick their approaches. Yet you speak with some conviction of an absolute truth, it's as if you think because you are a geologist, that you are bringing the same hard scientific approach to every issue. But surely you realize that this is not what you actually do? Identifying the weathering on a rock, or identifying an agate's formational properties is not the same as interpreting historical documents, symbolism, etc. Your work is built upon a number of interpretations, I counted about 53 of them in your KRS "analysis". And what's more dangerous, some of them are built atop one another, where as if one interpretation is off, then all the others are off as well.

However, much of that evidence has been ignored, dismissed or labeled “fringe.” It’s hard to make headway when many academic disciplines simply won’t even consider the question objectively let alone the evidence.<br /><br />I’m personally not a big Atlantis guy, but my mind remains open to new evidence should it come forward. I am very open to much more advanced cultures having existed prior to 12,000 years BP, as evidenced by Gobekli Tepe, that some believe were wiped out, or drastically reduced, by a meteorite or comet impact. Depending on the amount of energy involved it could have triggered catastrophic continental ice sheet disintegration and rapid sea lever rise, along with drastic climatic changes that wiped out certain flora and megafauna that contributed to severe human population reduction.<br /><br />I think there are very good arguments that can be made about all of these ancient cultures that are supported by at least some good hard science. Not as much as the Kensington Rune Stone; but that's a slam dunk.

Claims of Minoans, Atlantis, Copper/Bronze trade 2000 b.c to Europe, and on and on...I see, on some level, how your mind could justify the research on the KRS as hard science, but all this other stuff? Hanging a pentagonal neckless in a building in DC for 360 seconds = venus temple? Is Alan and Janet's claims replicable ?

Referred to as such as they transformed the land and people. Apparently brought knowledge such as fishing with nets and made things right with the people. If you encountered them and you were a bad person they turned you to stone. Hmmm. Turned to stone or when they were done all that was left of you was a stone in your place. If you were good then no problem & you could carry on. When the supposed first white man in the area, Simon Fraser was coming down & mapping the mighty Fraser he was greeted by some local natives & given a huge welcoming party as they thought he was one of the Transformers returning as they had promised to do when they left the area. That story will sound familiar to what happened much farther south in MesoAmerica.<br />Familiar with the Stuart claim to the throne. Found the whole story confusing. Seems to have divided families if I recall correctly.<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-29597400564000386382016-03-20T19:38:25.638-07:002016-03-20T19:38:25.638-07:00Just being snoopy Explorer Dave since I am surroun...Just being snoopy Explorer Dave since I am surrounded by volcanos and glaciers.
