Masonry is said to be synonymous with Geometry and Architecture. Within the architecture used by these people are astronomical alignments. The one I believe to have the most importance is what Alan Butler calls a "Rosebud Window". This RW captures both the light of Venus and the Sun on a certain day. These windows can be clearly seen from Rosslyn Chapel to Trinity Church. This leads me to believe the "Hooked X" could be a combination of the cross of the sun and the cross of Venus and the line they share. I'd love to know if a RW existed within the ambulatory of the Newport Tower. <br /><br />Anthony Warren Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-78931270741105301622017-08-01T13:10:18.179-07:002017-08-01T13:10:18.179-07:00And I thought an Irishman would be more willing to...And I thought an Irishman would be more willing to cooperate than a Scandinavian. Apparently, I was wrong about the font designer - he "politely" replied to me with a very extensive dismissal, citing hoaxes and Hebrew Alephs being confused for hooked-X breviographs. And at the same time, he defended his Tolkienian runes citing that because Tolkien used them in private correspondence, that was enough grounds for encoding them in spite of their fictitious origin. But the same can be said of fictional scripts rejected for encoding, like Klingon: I even believe more people have used Klingon in private correspondence than Tolkien used his own invented runes, yet Tolkien gets his runes encoded and Klingons their alphabet rejected. The Hooked X - regardless of whether it dates back to 1898 or several hundred years ago - is still older than the Tolkienian runes, and it was used by at least three individuals, and 3 > 1; it should have been proposed for encoding in spite of its controversy. (By comparison, the emoji symbols proposal dating back nearly a decade ago was just as controversial and, in spite of all discussions and debates, got encoded and that's why we have emoji today.) <br /><br />I would like to share with you, in private, the whole email thread I received from that non-supporter, because I am not sure if it would be appropriate to post it here in its entirety.

He is an Irishman -not a Scandinavian-, so I have faith he will examine the evidence in this blog, contact you perhaps for more evidence, and come up with a convincing Hooked-X rune proposal to the Unicode Consortium and have the rune assigned a codepoint that future fonts could use. (That way, the folks at the Old English Wikipedia would finally be able to write plain Runic text with the hooked X or "-æ" breviograph without having to embed GIF images into the text stream.) <br /><br />By the way, which Apple Macintosh font contains runes?

That reaction is a human thing used by those who don't understand something. It's a fear driven reaction of the unknown. The fact is mine and Winchell's geological research stands or falls on it's own merit; period. The other aspects of my research are independent of the geology and need to stand or fall likewise.<br /><br />Labeling something "fringe" is an insult to the subject matter and the individual who makes the claim. I don't care what the "serious" people think because after interacting with them for over a decade. The only thing serious about them is their arrogance, close-mindedness and inability to admit what they don't understand.<br /><br />I can assure you the esoteric aspects of the KRS inscription are real and the only one capable of crafting such a message was a highly educated, and yes, initiated medieval member of the clergy. Who else but the Cistercians and fugitive Knights Templar had the knowledge, means, and motive to pull something off like the KRS? The historical facts are consistent with only them. <br /><br />It's the weight of the collective evidence from multiple disciplines that has conclusively proven the case. "Serious" scholars won't accept the truth because they botched the case through a combination of poor investigative methodology, lack of using proper logic and blanket dismissal of what they did not understand. Instead, they try to destroy what they don't understand so they don't end up looking stupid. It's been a travesty. <br /><br />I'm not trying to persuade anyone anymore Rolf, people will either accept the facts or they won't. You can lead a horse to water right?<br /><br />Serious scholars to need have the courage to step out of their comfort zone and be open to learning new things. I did it and it has opened a whole new world of understanding. <br /><br />Imagine what could happen?

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunat...Hello Scott,<br /><br />Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately it highlights those things where I have to part company with you - the other side of the coin.<br /><br />We agree that, geologically-speaking, the Kensington Stone must be a genuine mediaeval artefact. That to me is the key and scientifically inescapable conclusion that needs to be pointed out and proclaimed to the world. If just that one fact, on its own, were ever to be generally recognised and accepted as true, it would be revolutionary.<br /><br />It would open the floodgates for the whole field of pre-Columbian exploration of the Americas. To start with, the history books would all have to be rewritten. Academics would be able to research and write about these things openly, without fear of harming their careers. Most importantly, the legitimacy it brought would mean that resources - energy, expertise, money - would become available for officially-conducted archaeological and other investigations. It would be the dawn of a whole new era.<br /><br />So to me, when you stray from the hard science and start theorising about Templars, the Holy Grail, the York Rite degrees and other things unknown to the "uninitiated", you fatally undermine the very credibility you seek. Whether or not such esoteric interpretations hold water, the effect when you attach them to your more straightforward/acceptable geological and other investigations is that most people simply won't take you seriously. They'll throw out the baby with the bathwater, not bothering to even look at your geological and other findings because you're the guy who claims the Kensington Stone was a coded message left by Cistercian Templars.<br /><br />Yes it's easy for me to criticise, sitting here at my computer, never having done anything meaningful myself to advance our knowledge of the Stone. Whereas you have done a great deal - and again I thank you for it.<br /><br />Still: a major obstacle to official acceptance of the Kensington Stone has been the fringe ideas and theories that its supporters so often promote. Which makes the whole topic toxic to "serious" folk, driving away exactly those people you need to persuade, some of whom might listen if they felt it was safe to do so.<br /><br />Yours respectfully,<br />Rolf Luchs<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-59803990420284781952017-07-06T07:25:02.354-07:002017-07-06T07:25:02.354-07:00Rolf,

To be frank, of the thousands of forensic investigations I've performed over the past 32 years the KRS is one of the strongest and most straight-forward. Granted it was more complicated with multiple avenues to investigate, but in the end, there was a voluminous amount of evidence from multiple disciplines that were all consistent with authenticity.<br /><br />In fairness to the runic and linguistic scholars, since I have experienced the York Rite degrees and realized the initiated carver used allegory, code and symbolism within the inscription, uninitiated scholars had no chance of understanding the message and the other aspects imbedded within it. Their fundamental flaw was, and continues to be, in how they approached the investigation using flawed scientific method. Instead of taking an open-minded and neutral approach, they assumed from the start it was a Scandinavian style "rune stone" expecting it to conform to certain rules and conventions they were familiar with. In essence, for 119 years they have tried to tell the KRS what it was supposed to be, instead of letting the stone tell them what it is.<br /><br />Stay tuned for fresh new KRS evidence coming soon.

The latter has been an interest of mine for over 40 years. About 25 years ago I even spent a few months in the University of Cambridge library, doing research for a planned historical novel about the expedition that left the Kensington Stone. But then life got in the way and I never returned to the task.<br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to thank you for your book "The Kensington Rune Stone: Compelling New Evidence" which I came across a few years back. Your painstaking research and exhaustive investigation of all available evidence were admirable. Most impressive to me was your incredibly thorough physical examination of the Stone itself, which confirmed (and greatly expanded upon) the findings of the expert geologist Newton H Winchell long ago, that the inscription on the Stone had clearly been carved hundreds of years before its discovery.<br /><br />Meaning that scientifically speaking the Stone is, perforce, an authentic artefact, regardless of how oddly-composed the message on it may be. I find it maddening that for 119 years the naysayers have mostly got their way, questioning the form and content of the inscription while ignoring the hard science that proves it to be genuine.<br /><br />I still think the story of the expedition could make a great novel - and film! (Someone did once write a book but it was no good.)<br /><br />Yours sincerely,<br />Rolf Luchs<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-39926119139969988982017-06-30T12:40:37.821-07:002017-06-30T12:40:37.821-07:00Matthew,

I ...I'm glad the subject came around to Ogham. I notice that Anthony has brought the subject up, too, in the more recent comment dated 4-28-2017, on a newer blog subject here.<br /><br />Good news, Scott and Patrick and all! As a result of finding myself very deficient in the study of Ogham, I decided to learn more about it...and ended up finding a Hooked-X embedded within a line of script. It seems to follow through to an early medieval Christian use, and apparently here in America. I just found a Hooked-X within a line-form of recognized Ogham, as seen here:<br /><br />https://cwva.org/wwvrunes/wwvrunes_3.html<br /><br />Go down to Figure B and look about five rows up from the bottom, towards the left side. You will see a row of X's with varying forms attached to it, including one with a hook or mark directly on top of the right stem...but look closely and you will see a very real Hooked-X on the character next to it.<br /><br />Now scroll down to Figure O-1 and you will see this small Hooked-X in use...and by extrapolation, it appears to be very directly attached to "Christianity," which seems to be the main theme of the messages being studied, according to Mr. Fell.<br /><br />So, this would seem to be from a time approximately in line with the Anglo-Saxon Brooch discussed above, possibly. Whether this may be indicative of Christianity with the Brooch uncovered in England, I don't know, but the Irishmen (or Welch?) visiting America around the same time-period apparently used it (the Hooked-X) in a very Christian way, in a very Christian message.<br /><br />How this may or may not tie in with late-period medieval Hooked-X's, I'm not sure. It may be that the Hooked-X was picked up by later Templars as a Christian symbol and in a secretive way, and then it may be that the symbol was passed on to future Freemasons (post-Templars) here in America, whereupon it was carved into several well-known, authentic runestones, the Kensington Runestone being the most famous.<br /><br />Anyway, it's always fun finding a new Hooked-X!<br /><br />(By the way, that "Host" X symbol turned out to be of a flail and a spear...symbols associated with Christ's suffering and physical death.)<br /><br />- GunnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-42789610365991977662017-04-26T17:17:20.505-07:002017-04-26T17:17:20.505-07:00LUTE...I meant Pythagoras's Lute.

John's days when the Sun rises above Jerusalem it creates what I've heard called the Golden angle. To me it stands to reason the same angle would be achieved in the opposite direction on one of the other st. John's days. Interestingly if, you think of each beam of light as a pole and a Divine being holding both of them you get the figure of the man with two sticks. Most of these voyages I've read about all began on January 17th. Is there a way of starting with a known angle of light and following that angle or changes to it, in order to determine time, distance traveled or where you're at on the Earth???<br /><br />Anthony Warren <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-61598160175928642532017-04-07T22:48:29.998-07:002017-04-07T22:48:29.998-07:00Hello Scott, Patrick, and Pasadena,
I would like...Hello Scott, Patrick, and Pasadena, <br /><br />I would like to draw everyone's attention to something called a Pythagorean flute. Many of the Templar crosses appear to be four Pythagorean flutes all emanating from the same point. Apparent confirmation comes from many of them having a rose or more tellingly a five pointed star at the center point. <br /><br />I first brought the following idea to Scott's attention in another thread and only bring it up now due to something Patrick said about the Kensington inscription. I believe the M sign is actually referring to the constellation Scorpio. The same Scorpio used by Polynesian Navigators to determine South. On page 124 of his book "The Lost Colony of the Templars" author Steven Sora quotes an 18th century John Drummond as saying, "The Tribe of Dan, he said, was in Scorpio where the Sun dies and therefore the key to the underworld". The back of our dollar bill, according to Google Translate, clearly states He granted a new order of the ages Children of Dan". I've been watching Scorpio for several weeks due to it's apparent likeness to one of the birds on the Chequey armorial at Tomar in Portugal. The other bird being another constellation diagonal to it. Then the planet Mars entered the picture. The way the planet appeared to move back and forth looked like a bee pollinating a flower. More specifically a Lilly. This makes me think of the quote "Born under the Lily, I live under the rose". This Rose I believe is actually the five pointed star on the apparent map in the basement of Rosslyn Chapel. I believe the poster Jim Ragsdale was the closest when suggesting Newport Tower as being part of a five pointed star. Quite possibly part of an enormous Pythagorean flute.<br />I've read where Ptolemy supposedly had the earth divided perfectly in half, down to the inch. Also some speculation that this was done intentionally to hide the Western Hemisphere. If one were to think of the earth as an apple and you cut the apple in half horizontally you get a five pointed star. I find it interesting that the names Batholomee,and Bartholomew show up. Bar equals son of, and the remaining "Tholomee(w)" sure appears to be Ptolemy. <br /><br />I have more to say but I don't have internet service and my time is up. <br /><br />Best regards to All,<br /><br />Anthony WarrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-15690494175170597932017-04-06T14:16:43.072-07:002017-04-06T14:16:43.072-07:00Pat and all,
