For me personally, when I am skeptical of something that interests me, it means that I dig deeper and work harder and examine the question from more directions. Personally, after having done this, I am satisfied that despite his bias, Mr. Nickerson is truthful and accurate in his report.<br /><br />For one thing, following his initial inquiries in the community in the 1960's, he never again made any reports or sought any type of publicity. Quite the reverse. He was very helpful to me when I approached him for an interview privately, but that was on my own initiative. He isn't and hasn't attempted to promote or publicize this in any way. He would prefer to keep the whole thing as quiet as possible and that people would not even attempt to visit the site at all.Terry J.

I've come to the same conclusion. I ...Scott, <br /><br />I've come to the same conclusion. I wish, I could have a long talk with her. Unfortunately, she passed just before I turned 3. Most of the talk overheard came after my Grandfather's funeral. Listening to my Aunts and Uncles talk about their Mother. I've spent the last 35 years attempting to verify what I'd heard. So far, everything has been spot on. I suspect my Grandfather's oldest sister knew everything I've discovered for myself. I've found many names in my family tree which appear in this narrative. The only way this last "outrageous claim" could be true, other than my Native American ancestry, is a Templar connection. I'd figured out for myself the NT was the remains of a Templar round church, long before I found the same opinion in print. The ambulatory gave it away. For the longest time, this was the only piece of evidence for my mind to work with. A single puzzle piece with no corresponding picture to fit. I knew the Templars were here, and a remote possibility for "being here before Columbus" I just couldn't figure out how to prove it, or more importantly, ascertain the names of anyone who had come and stayed. This is why your work is priceless to me. If you are right, and for the most part, I think you are, you could help me solve my great-grandmother's claim. If anyone had just looked at her maiden name and it's meaning, they'd realized she was 1/2 Son of Thor. I didn't understand the Warren half until you let Steve do a guest blog on the Sinclairs. Not only did I find more evidence of her claims, I found another "Rosebud Window" in Castle Acre. <br /><br />THANK YOU, STEVE!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />I'm not sure if I'll ever figure out how she knew, or who told her.<br /><br />Hoping you've found some names, <br /><br />Anthony Warren <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-58647811263356120462017-10-16T17:18:30.271-07:002017-10-16T17:18:30.271-07:00Dear Patrick,

I determined the Latitude of a number of Templar/Masonic sites along the East Coast of North America, using Google Earth, and found that some are near the same Latitude as the Newport Tower to the East.<br /><br />Rosslyn Chapel<br />55.8555 N<br /><br />KRS<br />45.7908 N<br /><br />Spirit Pond Runes<br />43.7469 N<br /><br />Rennes-le-Château, France<br />42.9273 N<br /><br />*Lake Osiris (center), Lake Osiris Colony<br />41.5795 N<br /><br />*Walden, NY (Masonic Lodge 627)<br />41.5614 N<br /><br />*Newport Tower, RI<br />41.4858 N<br /><br />Philadelphia<br />39.9791 N<br /><br />There is a Lake Osiris Colony about 1.2 miles north of the Walden Masonic Lodge #627. I have asked Scott if he knows anything about this Lodge or the Lake Osiris Colony, which has a Masonic ring to it. <br /><br />You bring up the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. I became aware of a hidden significance to the city I live in, El Paso, Texas. The mountain layout is very similar to that around Jerusalem, and there is a huge white Cross with a statue of Jesus on it, at the top of Mount Cristo Rey, an andesitic lacolith located just north of El Paso. But what surprised me the most is that El Paso and the Temple Mount are at almost the exact same Latitude.<br /><br />Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem<br />31.7722 N<br /><br />Mount Zion (center)<br />31.7717 N<br /><br />El Paso, TX downtown<br />31.7618 N<br /><br />Horizon City (Police Dept., Horizon Blvd.)<br />31.6846 N<br /><br />Sierra de Cristo Rey (Cross-Jesus)<br />31.7873 N<br /><br />Temple Mount Sinai<br />31.8024 N<br /><br />Temple Mount Sinai is located in the same relative position as the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, when compared to where Jesus was crucified on the southern edge of Mount Mariah. <br /><br />El Paso del Norte is called the North Gate or mountain pass, and if you translate El into Hebrew, it means Lord God. Thus El Paso could be translated to mean God at the North Gate, as noted in Ezekial 8:3, especially when Mount Cristo Rey is taken into consideration. Pilgrimages are made each year by Catholics up to the Cross on that mountain peak.<br /><br />El Paso is south southwest of Inspiration Peak in Minnesota, a place of Templar interest.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919909401369846053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-49329043245094759192017-10-16T07:57:57.273-07:002017-10-16T07:57:57.273-07:00Bryan,

I was hoping you would choose today to release your new information. Seemed fitting in some way. <br /><br />I have to admit to a personal interest in your work. There's a few mysteries I'd like to solve before I pass on to whatever. I've solved a few which only lead to new questions. My great-grandmother was said to make outrageous claims. So far, she wasn't lying. She supposedly always claimed we were here before Columbus. Everyone assumed she was talking about our Native American ancestry. I once overheard my grandpa's oldest sister whisper, "She's talking about white people". I've yet to verify any of this. I'm hoping you'll publish some family names of people who stayed. Possibly I could find some connection there, and would at least give me something to go on. <br /><br />Thank you for your work, <br /><br />Anthony Warren <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-40439423249884637232017-10-12T07:33:52.629-07:002017-10-12T07:33:52.629-07:00Dawn,

No problem about the Lunar Eclipse stuff...Anthony, <br />No problem about the Lunar Eclipse stuff. At some point I will circle back to it, you can help out then.<br /><br />You don’t have to join Facebook to read what is posted. There are several good sites out there…Kensington Runestone International is one. There are several Oak Island sites. Then there is the Phippsburg site…which is what I do. For the last few years I have been on this runestone gig, but the site started because I wanted to learn more about a unique town that I had lived in for a few years at the end of my Navy career. <br /><br />Although I read some of the stuff on Oak Island, I generally steer clear of looking at anything very deeply on it. I wish all those who have an interest in Oak Island well. <br /><br />All of us are really fortunate to live in an age where communicating is quick and easy. Whether its social media or an Internet blog, access to new ideas is really instantaneous. I know that I am appreciative that Scott does this blog by which he, and the rest of us, can share ideas to a wider audience. All of us who participate on his blog in a positive manner are really part of a larger collaborative network of people who want to learn more about the world we live in. One can’t do that with their head stuck in the sand. <br /><br />I believe that earlier you mentioned that you live in SoCal. I live there now, as well. Send Scott an email and he will pass it to me and maybe we can do some of this collaboration in person.<br /><br />Regards, Patrick<br />Patrick Shekletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701337769317102986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-21277252297793329542017-10-10T07:09:39.309-07:002017-10-10T07:09:39.309-07:00Anthony,

That and, I lost Internet 30 seconds after reading.<br /><br />THANK YOU!!!! For the links. Especially to the NT excavations. I do not use Facebook. I've never seen the use in a 24/7/365.25 day high school reunion. I may have to change my tune. <br /><br />An anonymous poster mentioned snake/serpent symbolism in regards to<br />"obliquity/ecliptic/axial tilt". I've seen a few maps in the past which displayed a serpent in the same spot as the Gulf Stream. I have no idea if that's what was being conveyed but, the serpents had similar if not the exact same shape.<br /><br />You've given me a few Eureka moments especially in regards to the Oak Island map. Did these people establish a square on Oak Island? I really wish all the greed driven people hadn't dug the whole place up looking for gold. They most likely destroyed some pretty cool clues. <br /><br />Could the difference in the location of the Arctic Circle be used to approximate when people first calculated it's position? If it's going to be in a certain spot 11,000 years from now...When was it last there? The Templars did not invent the stuff, they merely inherited the keys to the car.<br /><br />In regards to the "Christ Bearing Dove" Christopher Columbus, I've read where he said, "the Earth is pear-shaped". I've always wondered if he was talking about the bulge created by the moon. Did the instruments he was using to navigate somehow detect this bulge???<br /><br />Do you have any idea why or Orion was so important to Columbus? It's obvious to me St. Columbus never existed, and is actually the constellation Orion. Replace infant son with infant Sun, and the river is the Milky Way. His 3 ships symbolized the three stars of Orion's belt. I guess the Atlantic Ocean could be taken as The Milky Way within the allegory. I'm sure the three stars of Orion's belt have been used to navigate, I'm just not sure how. They've been called everything from Golden Apples, magic beans, Wiseman, Magi,Masters, pillars, sojourners, and golden walnuts. I've even read of sailors sailing between the Giant's knees, or the Giant walking on water. There's some practical importance I'm not seeing.<br /><br />I believe the Cross of Lorraine could possibly be a navigational tool especially if both bars are part of a slide rule. Could possibly calculate the tropics and the equator on a north-south line. I may be way off but, this is part of the visual I'm getting in my head after, I read your material. <br /><br />Thank you for kindling my Light!<br /><br />Anthony Warren Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-2033803349949372392017-10-08T09:30:20.957-07:002017-10-08T09:30:20.957-07:00"You are holding me to the fire for what othe..."You are holding me to the fire for what others have said."<br /><br />I have from the beginning been taking you to task for YOUR statement that Rosslyn Chapel was on the Paris meridian.<br /><br />Quoting a lot of extraneous stuff doesn't obscure that fact (or as Scott would say FACT) and you refuse to own up to stating that obvious nonsense without throwing in a bunch of non-related stuff from Wikipedia, some guy named Coppens, and a collection of Spanish people to distract from YOUR egregious and aggressively non-factual statement.<br /><br />Then you get into the Egyptian nonsense which I dismissed as such for the reasons explained in an earlier post.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Alex J.

Thanks for responding. That you are not the...Bruce,<br />Thanks for responding. That you are not the originator is agreed, but you then took what was written and morphed it into a conversation point that was flawed – creating an association that doesn’t exist. Not your intent, but it happened. I say that fully admitting that I am not immune from that type of error, as well. <br /><br />Regardless of what has been written in the past, the association of the Shetland Islands BEING ON THE Paris Meridian (and by extension, Rosslyn, as you discuss) is faulty. With you including the Wikipedia entry in your reply, it is clear to see how those landform areas came to be discussed with the Paris Meridian. Surveying in the 18th century was done using geodetic triangulation – establishing a baseline meridian and then constructing a network of measured triangles. There are several books published by the US Coastal Survey (forerunner of the USGS) that discuss exactly how this method was employed in the US (go to archive dot org or Google Books). It seems probable that the Shetland Islands association with the Paris Meridian came about because it was used as one of the triangulation locations for the Paris re-survey. <br /><br />The Paris Meridian actually does come into play with respect to the Kensington Runestone, albeit in an interesting way. The Cremona Document Nova Scotia Map uses a longitudinal baseline that corresponds to the Paris Meridian. Skeptics will aver that the C-doc maps are of a) unproven provenance, b) they are a hoax, and c) then they will submit that the Paris Meridian wasn’t a reference meridian until the 18th century. The details answering a) have not come out fully, b) is an opinion based on Wikipedia scholars, and c) denotes a magna cum laude Wikipedia scholar. The Cremona Document NS map is a survey map – and it is quite old. What most folks do, and this certainly includes skeptics, is they take a superficial look at the visual presentation of the map, compare it to Medieval Era maps, and then proclaim that there is no way it could have originated in that period of time. What they fail to do is to deconstruct the map and determine the information that the various geodetic symbols and lines of longitude/latitude convey. <br /><br />Here is some reading material for the Paris Meridian that isn’t on Wikipedia: <br /><br />"Early Alfonsine Astronomy in Paris: The Tables of John Vimond (1320)":<br />https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Furl%3Fsa%3Dt%26rct%3Dj%26q%26esrc%3Ds%26source%3Dweb%26cd%3D1%26cad%3Drja%26uact%3D8%26ved%3D0ahUKEwjUtp6Wu5DUAhVI7GMKHZFOArcQFggmMAA%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.raco.cat%252Findex.php%252FSuhayl%252Farticle%252Fdownload%252F199642%252F267003%26usg%3DAFQjCNEU50gXAp9Erwu_VMOBG0Dzk0MAEg&h=ATMD5u3Ozr2iy8jrLXA8DXG53HMNqdoy4oZDPElqNsFrqUVjmO-rK0ffQyCprSlKf72UV2yhtXI5n36JxBNx8Vd3o9JSO1wO3tG-zW0b-tKp0bgzc4NwbdildaEuDGv4qD88Vk3RwaWOOgNLsFs36WZldH0tQQZkGIC9cxBeIvI0GHuGjHFRZT7arfUkXKVkdLYyHlsAaTaw0cs9mdJJbbrMzbt2ty-K38Gk96YgQuJ25aQe9JZ6POpPiWqLYy_SfzeH<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/114338978642314/photos/a.883503961725808.1073741861.114338978642314/1326848767391323/?type=3&theater<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/114338978642314/photos/a.1335560626520137.1073741888.114338978642314/1329288227147377/?type=3&theater<br />Patrick Shekletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701337769317102986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-43966711136440157252017-10-07T04:30:45.385-07:002017-10-07T04:30:45.385-07:00Scott,

The pentagonal geometry was created using the 72 degree angle between the sun and the moon. The star and the satellite are The Architects there.<br /><br />I've been trying to figure out for myself how the Templars navigated with such precision. If you've got the best navigation, you essentially control trade. I believe the Pythagorean theorem could be used to navigate between the two Tropics with a predetermined North/South line. This is my working theory anyway. The 681 seemed relevant to the 1362 date code of the KRS.<br /><br />It's kind of disrespectful to Scott, repeatedly plugging your site on his Blog. Once was sufficient. I'm surprised you'd want to invite the Troll Patrol into your world. <br /><br />Anthony Warren Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617813063932228103.post-30051864403375735912017-10-06T19:08:42.533-07:002017-10-06T19:08:42.533-07:00Patrick and Alex,
I was of the opinion that the R...Patrick and Alex,<br /><br />I was of the opinion that the Rosslyn Chapel was considered as a continuation of the arrangement of cathedrals along the Paris Meridian. I am not arguing your point, Patrick. But you too have chosen to ignore information regarding the Shetland Islands, which have been considered by others to be on line with the extension of the Paris Meridian. Alex, if you have not read how Wood and Campbell came to their conclusion that Set was the Ice God or the Serpent in the Sky (ice comet), I suggest you do so. <br />Also consider my evidence that Osiris and Set may have represented the Egyptian concept of Glacial and Interglacial periods. In my above interpretation of the Osiris's Intestine graph on page 258 of Tompkins' Secrets of the Great Pyramid, I suggest that it could represent the geological/time history of the last 30,000+ years, extended to predict the recurrence of another Ice Age with the resurrection of Osiris. That is why I call Osiris the Ice (Age) God, and Set the Interglacial God who terminated the ice age. Wood and Campbell thought Set represents a comet that killed Osiris, after having deciphered the Rennes-le-Chateau geographic Earth diagrams to find what they thought was an encoded anagram: I C E G O D. <br /><br />The Paris Meridian issue is not important to the Kensington Rune Stone mystery. My error apparently touched a nerve based on the extent of your response, Patrick. I am not the originator of this idea or error. Perrier, Bassot, Ibáñez e Ibáñez de Ibero, and Perrier of the late 19th century are. Thank you for correcting my statement regarding the location of the Rosslyn Chapel.

I copied information from Wikipedia and Coppens. I am not the one who is suggesting that the Shetland Islands are part of a reference meridian. That was done by others. Those islands appear to be in line with the Paris Meridian, and others have investigated this in the 19th century.<br /><br />Wikipedia: In the early 19th century, the Paris meridian's arc was recalculated with greater precision between Shetland and the Balearic Islands by the astronomer François Arago, whose name now appears on the plaques or medallions tracing the route of the meridian through Paris (see below). Biot and Arago published their work as a fourth volume following the three volumes of "Bases du système métrique décimal ou mesure de l'arc méridien compris entre les parallèles de Dunkerque et Barcelone" (Basis for the decimal metric system or measurement of the meridian arc comprised between Dunkirk and Barcelona) by Delambre and Méchain.[6]<br />In the second half of the 19th century, Carlos Ibáñez e Ibáñez de Ibero directed the survey of Spain.[7] From 1870 to 1894 the Paris meridan's arc was remeasured by Perrier and Bassot in France and Algeria.[4] In 1879, Carlos Ibáñez e Ibáñez de Ibero for Spain and François Perrier for France executed the junction of the Spanish geodetic network with Algeria.[8] This connection was a remarkable enterprise where triangles with a maximum length of 270 km were observed from mountain stations over the Mediterranean Sea.[4] The triangulation of France was then connected to those of Great Britain, Spain and Algeria and thus the Paris meridian's arc measurement extended from Shetland to the Sahara.[8]<br /><br />Thank you for your contribution.<br /><br />Bruce Cornet<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919909401369846053noreply@blogger.com
