Stones don't spend near as well as silver or gold. Can you show any value to these markings or cyphers?

Knowledge is only so valuable as it's ability to yield results. Pedant information does not feed mouths or minds.

Ever seen this stone a part of the great mystery there on the island?
The one with the same marks as found on the H + O stone?
Are you trying to out nonsense another poster with unproven fabricated fantasy false information posted as fact?

Have no idea what you are asking for.....

Are you asking me to give you the gold.....lol

Why not just admit you are running around a topic online and telling me what I am doing is not "correct" in your book

You are one amazing human let me tell you....

Since you have the fever.....tell me what you see here.....and I'll tell you what is really there

A picture of a rock. Is it yours? Did you sell it? Did it provide any added income for you?

I'm asking for proof of marketable value. Income. Added wealth. Capital gains. Gain on investment. Moolah.

Pretty basic concept really. Even the bureaucrats at the IRS understand it.

Case in point - my Dad had two boxes of baseball (and hockey) cards from the 1950's and I found them in the attic after he passed away in 1995.

They became this:

Tangable. Physically extant. Marketable. Identifyable. You can look up the C.G. documentation on the sailboat and see me listed as the owner. It happened. In the real world.

There's also some question about what it might be revealing. The following seems to be a fair translation of the text as widely presented:

Halt, don't be timid. Dig at 40 feet with the angle 45 degrees. The shaft at 522 feet at your entry. The corridor at 1065 feet reaches the chamber.

La Formule. Halte. Ne terrer pas. Creuser a quarante pied avec a angle de quarante cinq degre. La hampe a cinq cent deus pied a vous entre.

522 feet is Cinque Cent et vingt (twenty) deux

cinq cent deus is 502 feet

Hell back in 1398 the unit of measurement never was a US Foot. The Knights Templar used megaliths.

After the Dark Ages William the Conqueror (c.1066) re-introduced Roman length measurements to England, and Friesland/Normandy was already using them.

The Pes (length of a foot) was 11.65" current inches. The Uncia (1/12 of a Pes) was 0.97"

The Danish Fod was 12.36 current inches.

France - after Charlemagne - was using the Pied du roi (King's foot) which was about 12.79 current inches. Known in England as the "Paris Foot".

The Dutch used a Voet which was about 11.63"


Haven't come across a "Large Stone" (Megalith) as a unit of measure prior to the 1950's when Alexander Thorn speculated it may have been used. There is no historical evidence or mention of such in the preserved record - though that was because he proposed it was used before written history. Another pseudo-science jump.

Well even the Founding Fathers used megaliths. one megalith was about 2.7 feet

As extrapolated by one man in 1955. There was no mention or evidence of its use prior. He thought, based on his surveys, that it "might" be a common unit. No evidence that it was.

Can you show the mention of it in any document created prior to 1950?
