ThinkAbout It

[Bdoon]

The brothers have a good thing going. If folks like Mel Fisher thought about this would they have announced so soon?

It is pretty obvious based on evidence inNew England and on Oak Island that Templar’s arrived maybe 200 years before Columbus and even prior to Basque fishermen. People do not drop Templar crucifixes typically. Nor do they spend weeks carving stones as a hoax.

If I won the lottery I would not announce on television and so I doubt the brothers would either

It is NOT a Templar cross, and YES, people DO carve stones as a hoax. LMFAO

p.s. It is also not a crucifix

Not doubting you but I must have missed the true explanation of the lead cross they supposedly found. Please elaborate and no I don't don't believe the Knights Templar visited OI.

 

[gazzahk]

They found a piece of lead. It was cross shaped. It was more likely just a sinker from someone fishing.

That is the story.

Nothing at all suggests it has anything to do with Knights Templar.

It is completely unsupported falsehood for the Laginas to be claiming anything else...

What "obvious" evidence documents the Templars in New England and Oak Island?

Nothing at all "obvious" about any Templar exposure in Nova Scotia or the "New World" . . . ever.

What is obvious to me is that Oak Island is a wild goose chase and the Lagainas/History Channel are profiting from stretching out the series but have produced no more than the 28 prior failed attempts in the last 225 years.

Basque fisherman? Certainly (they were fishing and charting the Grand Banks and Flemish Cap shoals before Columbus stumbled onto San Salvadore). Scandanavians? Likely (known to be close and settled in by 1,000 AD +/- at L'Anse Aux Meadows). Anyone burying anything of value? Dubious. Certainly not found in repeated attempts.

The only thing Oak Island has going for it is that it that a portion was up for sale recently where digging is allowed by the Gov't and not under sensible private ownership that would boot the despoilers the hell off. That and it has name recognition because of the Reader's Digest story in 1965 and the subsequent resturant placemats with "The Money Pit" mapped out on them. ;-)

Bunkum, humbug and balderdash.

But I'll recant the instant anything is found. Though I'm not too worried that will happen in my lifetime or anyone else's.

Were you wearing a monocle while you wrote that?

Bah.

I was wearing my Pince-nez spectacles.

1. There is no evidence, in either NE or on OI, that indicates the Templars were there. None.

2. That lead cross is neither Templar nor a crucifix.

I am quite shocked there are still people out there that believe that this piece of lead is anything of significance. In one episode they showed the lead was from the same origin as the lead found from an old stained window (think that what is was) or something from an earlier settlers cottage remnants. Surely this tells people that someone found some more of it and melted it down for a sinker (or something)

Also that lead was found on top of all those structures that they dated the wood to the late 1750s (when the trees were cut down) so why would an lead artifact from hundreds of years earlier be laying on the ground above these structures.

I am amazed that anyone can still believe this piece of lead is of any historic significance at all.
