Appears to have been touched up, however, numerous features and toponyms popped. The most interesting being what's written across the band of the eclipse symbol. If you have the extra cash or possess the equipment, I would suggest having multispectral imaging done upon this map. You will be astonished at what all is there. Some of which appears to be obscured by whomever touched it up.

We cannot authenticate by examining the 'original' -- if there was one?. But when we look at the contextual notations, certain to be French, there are a number of problems. Some of the latitudes are out of sequence on the map. For example, one does not leave latitude 49 heading north and then reach latitude 47. And the labelling of quatre, six, cinq is out of order -- i.e. 4, 6, then 5 heading Southward.<br /><br />There is a incomplete date, which we might have expected to be rendered in Roman numerals, as are the latitude and longitude labels. It gives us only "the 25th of June", but no Year ?!!!<br /><br />The most egregious error lies in the latitude line that bisects what is the bay in which Oak Island lies. How can a written latitude "XLV XV Rhodon" be north of the lower latitude labelled as "XLVI XLVII". I read the first as 45 deg., 25 mins North and the "lower" line as "46 deg. 47 mins North. The mapmaker or explorer's compass must have been way off to have a line crossing south of a point have a latitude reading of further north than a line crossing in parallel to it but further north. <br /><br />The label "inuhit" is a variant of Inuit, but those peoples as I understand it tended to live much further north than the St. Lawrence river.<br /><br />But is there any "truth" that can be gleaned, e.g. is something being passed off deliberately to be dismissed as a ruse ? What, if anything, is hiding in plain sight? Some curiousities, that given the rest of the map seem designed to fool those unfamiliar with Roman coordinates and incomplete dates. For example, Rhodon is a real place in France and lying on the one-time Paris meridian, but now to the east of the Greenwich meridian. So conceivably it has something to do with either "legitimizing" the map, by giving us what appears to be a much older date of being drawn than it really is ?Dave Mithbuthernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-14288220892550654812018-12-16T17:53:39.176-08:002018-12-16T17:53:39.176-08:00Posted for Unknown,

Just purchased the one with the Zena Map. you are most likely correct about the treasures being removed. They were removed and kept until our Founding Fathers canceled them in and around Washington, D.C. I came to the same conclusions you and Zena have come to. I heard that Zena recently passed away and left all of her work and research to Rick Lagina. I hope you got to look at all of it. As we may never get to see it again. Good Luck in your endeavors.

I think I've solved the mystery of thi...Scott:<br /><br />I think I've solved the mystery of this map. Basically, the map is a point by point navigation for when the Templar ship reached Oak Island (given the amount of French on the map). The numbers are navigation points, similar to landmarks; what this map is to surface ships is what underwater navigation is to submarines (similar to the movie "Hunt for Red October," if any of you have seen it).<br /><br />The reason for two "57" latitude markings is that the cartographer was zooming in on the area as he traveled on the ship. The two terms at the bottom of the map, 'la mere de Deus,' and 'la Deesse,' refer to a landmark and the harbor, respectively, as 'the goddess', 'la Deesse', is probably code for something similar to 'the mother'. And what do mothers represent? Safety - so 'la Deesse' represents 'safe harbor.'<br /><br />The next thing is the 6-sided symbols - they are reference points on how to read the map of the island, since it is split in two (with the eastern end having the label 'Inuit', which I'm guessing meant 'native' or 'Indian'). <br /><br />The date on the map is definitely 1179, but I'm going to add to it: The '37' mark probably means an ETA of 37 days from leaving Europe. Why do I say that? The "24th of June" and the "rhodon" markings. Rhodon means "rose"; but one rose is "a rose," or spoken, "arose." So what "arose" on June 24th? The sun. Basically, the map says, "Be at this spot on the 24th of June", because the sun, at its highest point, casts a shadow (which the circle with the 2 lines was a reminder to get an accurate angle at that time). This is similar to the mythos surrounding the Lost Dutchman Mine, which had a shadow cast from a tree at high noon on June 21 to show where the entrance is. Same concept here - which also explains "continua" on the island itself: The cartographer didn't want to cause confusion with having lat/long lines, as well as coordinates, already on the map.<br /><br />Bottom line, the Templars used this map to take whatever was on the island to another location.Isaiahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-27167994028695962502018-03-06T07:04:04.745-08:002018-03-06T07:04:04.745-08:00Hans,

Please be careful not to fall into the trap of making quick judgments regarding authenticity as so many academics do when they think they understand something they really don't. <br /><br />You correctly deduced the northern part of the map coordinates do not correlate with the Nova Scotia parts. The simple answer is the map maker wanted to put as much info on a single map without regard to accurate relative positions of all the land masses. Why you ask? Well, there is a reason that, unfortunately, I am not able to reveal yet. Since you have taken the time and energy to study it so carefully, and present your findings, I will tell you that there is more information directly related to this map that has not yet been made public. Once that happens it will make more sense to you.<br /><br />With regard to the Templars being able to calculate longitude, I think you'll agree if the map is genuine then it can be logically assumed they did have the capability to determine it. The truth is they did understand how to determine it and more info about how they were able to accurately measure time while sailing the oceans will be forthcoming.<br /><br />Incidentally, an important clue that ties this map to the medieval Templars, beside the presence of three Hooked X symbols, is the phrase written in French, "The 24th of June." Any Freemason will tell you that is John the Baptist Day; one of the most important days of the year within the Craft and in Templarsim. <br /><br />Ever wonder why Masonic lodges are dedicated to the Holy St. John and not Jesus? As with everything else, there's a reason.

There are two issues with this. First the roman numerals do not include a zero. Therefore 0 minutes would never be represented by 00 – the use of 00 here is highly suspicious. Second the longitude is way off on the American mainland and has no relation to the map.<br />Below that is the French phrase Le vingt quatre de Juin which means the 24th of June. The phrase does not indicate a year, or what the date relates to. Very odd. <br />Other annotations within the map don’t make any sense either. At the top of the map within Newfoundland appears the French word froid which means “cold”. Yes, I suppose it can be cold in Newfoundland (though the Vikings called it Vinland), but why put that on a map??? Then within the channel that separates north-eastern Nova Scotia and south-western Nova Scotia on the map appears the phrase La courant de monstre, meaning “the current of the monster”. That again makes no sense whatsoever, and courant is masculine. Note that, of course, there is no physical channel between north-eastern Nova Scotia and south-western Nova Scotia. The channel appears on the map only because of the way Nova Scotia is depicted in two pieces. What the current of the monster in this imaginary channel of water is supposed to refer to is extremely puzzling.<br />Hans<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-81101644622198957522018-03-06T00:12:17.962-08:002018-03-06T00:12:17.962-08:00Let’s turn our attention to the lower part of the ...Let’s turn our attention to the lower part of the map where Nova Scotia is depicted in two pieces. First the north-eastern piece and below it the south-western piece (the “continuation”). On the south-western piece we too have latitude and longitude lines but the intersection points are not numbered. Why not? I would expect sept and huit here if the author of the map were really interested in these points enough to mark them with latitude and longitude. Also the lines look shorter; they are not extended all the way to the edge of the paper. As if the lower part of the map was drawn by somebody different.<br />There is one longitude line (LXIII,L) that starts at the top, goes through point quatre, but then when it hits the outline of south-western Nova Scotia it stops, only to resume below it. Why so? I could see the author of the map to stop the longitude line when it hits south-western Nova Scotia because that line only pertains to north-eastern Nova Scotia (point quatre). But then why resume drawing it again at the bottom? It looks as if the longitude line was drawn first and then south-western Nova Scotia was added to the map later, obscuring the line.<br />Now let’s look at the latitude and longitude values themselves. I found that the values for points un-deux-trois, quatre, and cinq (which represents the eastern tip of Prince Edward Island) are reasonably accurate - assuming longitude relative to the meridian of Paris (subtract 2 deg 20 min from the longitude values on the map to get moderns longitudes). I was not able to determine what point six designates, but it seems to be a point along the mouth of the St Lawrence River. However the latitude and longitude values for the intersection points in the outline of south-western Nova Scotia, in the lower part of the map, are more problematic.<br />The point that presumably represents Oak Island is marked at a latitude of XLVI,XLVII (= 46 deg 47 min). It seems odd already that the value is specified down to the minute when in the upper part of the map only degrees are specified, no minutes for latitudes. Worse, the value is off by about 2 deg and 20 min. Ugh – did the author accidentally add the Paris longitude offset to a latitude value? If so that would be a clear indication of fraud. Also note that the latitude line above it, which represents a latitude of XLV, XV (= 45 deg 15 min) – should really be drawn below the latitude line through Oak Island; the error is quite obvious. <br />The longitude line through Oak Island is reasonably accurate but the longitude line to its right, which represents a longitude of LXIII, LVII (= 63 deg 57 min) is way off. It should not even be on this part of the map as it falls within the north-eastern part (not the south-western part) of Nova Scotia. Or maybe the author of the map wrote down the longitude relative to the Greenwich meridian – which would be a clear indication of fraud again. Either way, the latitudes and longitudes in the lower part of the map were added hastily and carelessly.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-57630385407628168302018-03-06T00:09:53.788-08:002018-03-06T00:09:53.788-08:00Scott,

I think that’s a major problem, the secret knowledge of the Templars notwithstanding. To determine longitude the Templars needed a piece of hardware: an accurate chronometer. And they did not have that. But there are lots of other issues. <br />Starting in the upper part of the map, just below the southern tip of Newfoundland there are – in small letters – the words un and deux (upside down) and trois (right side up) written. That’s French, meaning one, two and three. Then below that just above the northern tip of Nova Scotia there is the word quatre (meaning four). Further to the left is cinq (meaning five) and six (meaning, you guessed it, six). So apparently the author of the map was numbering points along the coastline. And it appears that each of those points or clusters of points (in the case of un-deux- trois) is the intersection of one latitude line and one longitude line. Each of those intersection points apparently has a number.<br />You can easily see that the coastlines on the map are not represented in true relation to each other. For example both of the top two latitude lines represent a latitude of XLVII (= 47 deg) – one for points un-deux-trois and one for point quatre, which indeed are at the same latitude. The latitude line just below it represents a latitude of XLIX (= 49 deg) – for point six - and should be quite a distance higher than the latitude lines above it. Similarly the longitude line through un-deux-trois represents a longitude of LVIII,XX (= 58 deg 20 min), far too close to the next longitude line which represents a longitude of LXIII,L (= 63 deg 50 min). So therefore what we have here is not really a map, but a sketch of different coastlines where a sailor marked and numbered specific points of interest with exact latitude and longitude. I could see how that could be useful for somebody to navigate a ship into the Gulf of St Lawrence, for example.<br />But it is definitely not something an original mapmaker would create.
