I was taught in American public schools from 1978 - 1993 and we were taught that Leif Ericson was the actual discoverer of the Americas, but it wasn’t until Columbus that there was a constant influx of ships going back and forth that also lead to permanent settlements being set up that would eventually lead to the downfall of the indigenous peoples culture who lived here.

Whether or not Leif was actually the first or if there were others before him, it is not something that the mainstream would not be willing to accept.

Please excuse my spelling and or grammar, after all I was taught in an American public school system . . . .

The date of the Kensington Stone is 1362. And there are some interesting links to the 1314 dismantling of the Knights Templar and the Cistercians Monks on Gotland Island.The Cistercians worked closely with the Knights Templar, and there are quite a few gravestones in Gotland that have Templer markings on them. What if some of the Knights Templar and Cistercians had something to do with The Kensington Stone?

Holy moly
so to speak

the history channels show "Holy Grail In America"
is REALLY GOOD


It weaves a rather expansive tale, involving rune stones, templars, masons, and stuff.

First was the kengsington stone, the geologist who did the 2000 study was so taken by the evidence that it changed his thinking.
He determined that the stone is authenticly old, the weathering on the sides of the grooves is consistent with the weathering on the surface. There is also evidence of bio-chemical etching, produced by an acidic excretion of a fungus that lives on tree roots.
Then there is the hooked x rune, that was deemed a fake, but shows up on grave stones in gotland.
The hooked x also shows up on other rune stones found on the eastern seaboard, and on the naraganset stone.
It also show up un rosslyn chapel in scotland.
Its also found in Cristopher freaking Columbus's signature after he returns from his first voyage.
Columbus' father was a master and ship captian in the Kinghts of Christ, the portugese successor to the templars.
And columbus's sails flew the templar cross.
Theres another stone found on the east coast that has a map of the area with symbols of deer ducks fish and faces, with runes on the other side, and says that vinland was several days south.
A henry sinclair from the sinclair clan, Rosslyn chapel is on sinclair lands, went on a voyage to explore iceland greenland and newfoundland, in 1398., A runstone has been found that has a date of 1401 on it, that talks about the death of party members, "red with blood and dead"

Then theres the newport tower, it closely matches in size and construction techniques found in templar round churches found in scandanavia and britain/scotland.
A new excavation shows possible signs of the remnants of post that would have held up the outer wooden wall that surrounded the stone parts of the structure.
And there is a window in the east side, that on the winter solstice the sun shines through it and strikes an distinct oblong keystone of an arch opposite the window. Not only does the sun strike the stone it does so at 9am an important prayer for the templars.

And if you take a visual sighting along a line between the illuminated keystone and its opposite, it makes a line that points accurately to kengsington.
And the newport tower is on verranzano's 1524 map of the north east us coast, as a "norman villa".
The sinclairs were of norman descent.



Eventually the conclusion is drawn that the holy grail is not a relic,
but an idea of a land where men could live in religous and personal freedom.


A lot of very good info



i missed most of it but its on again in 1 hr so ill pay attention

Its the gift that keeps on giving


cristopher columbus was related to the sinclairs.

Any way the mineralology done in 2000 clearly shows that the kensington stone is at least as old as 1600.
There is no way to artificaily weather the stone in such a way.
The researcher also found that some of the runes in question are from a thing called the easter tables, a dual dating codex.
it was a way to double date an inscription in code.
Stones with holes were also found around the farm where the k stone was found.
the small drill holes have been called anchoring stones, inland from they dont make sense. but new information indicated they were used as a survey marker.
They have been found at another norse site in greenland, upernavik.
Three pairs of stones triangulate a point between them.
And the stones at the farm line up to where the stone was found.
And at upernavik they do the same thing, they pointed to a rune stone inscribed with the date of 1314.
there are stones in michigan along the water that have a carving of a circle with a cross inside and a high prowed sailing ship, and the cirlce and cross is found in illinois along a river a well.
there is a rock in ND that has a carving of a horn and knife, a common norse symbolism for a concluded deal.
And a newer translation of the kensington stone using the newly discovered runic relationships, reads that they were on a voyage of aquisition amd not exploration.
The location of the runestone puts it at head of two water sheds the red river and the missisipi.
And the stones says they were 14 days from the sea, either way you go where the stone is 14 days canoe to lake winnipeg or to the great lakes, the sea and it was five days walk to the canoes.
Which matches the location.
So mutch info

This story has turned into more than just the norse in the new world but actually does point to a much larger picture of american history.

The connection between the sinclairs, who were of norse decent, and columbus whos father was a knights of christ grandmaster.

The long list of rune stones from the east coast and the mid west are standing up to the scrutiny of modern geo chemical analysis as to the age.

The story of henry sinclair, as told in an authentic narrative of the time, who sailed to the new world in 1398.
And the trail of evidence he left in the runestones and rock carvings left on the east coast.
The mi kmaq have legends of men that came on the backs of whales and were led by a mythical person whos name i cant remember. And this person held "court on a hill" eveidently this notion of one person lording over others is not how the native do things.
They also have a tale that he built on an island and planted trees on it, and that island happens to be the infamous oak island of money pit fame.
And the oaks that once covered the island were not native to the island.
And a old stone foundation has been uncovered and its dating to the 14th/15th centuries.
the indians didnt build building with stone foundations.

he made it all the way to boston at least and the party left the westford sword carving and the carving of a knor.
and along the way they left the spirit pond runestones, and nargansett stone.

Amazing stuff

The

They had a great show on the history chanel yesterday about the kensington rune stone and the templers. the show discussed the tower out east and drew a line from the tower to the rune stone across the USA. the line goes through the thumb of Michigan in the general area of the sanilac petroglyphs.

there are stick figures of men with conical hats and some runes. does anyone know if there has ever been a connection?

Hi there Punkinworks

I'll certainly look for that program but I've tended to avoid the History channel due to the non-historical material it has presented in the past. I'm also not sure it even available in my new package since I've moved overseas.

The debate on the stone continues. My biggest concern would be a practical one. How could and why would a party of Norse have gotten that far into the country without being wipped out? A study of the native Americans reaction to large groups of armed men traveling thru their territory is one of hostility~as the stone belatedly relates. As with so many items more study is needed and some confirming information required.

If it is a hoax then no great effect on human history

If it is real it would add another chapter to the Norse saga and their interaction with North America. Adding an interesting foot note to L'anse aux meadows and the Maine penny.

I have it from Parks Canada archaeologists that the Maine Penny was found in a sealed context in association with native artifacts that suggest it was brought south from Labrador by Innuit or Aboriginal peoples.

However...a butternut was found at L'ans aux Meadows that suggests the Vikings used the spot as a base and traveled afield from there. The closest site for butternut trees was New Brunswick. This I learned when I visited this summer.

The jury is still out for the Kensington Runestone...but look to Red Bay, Labrador for new possibilities of pre-Columbian visits.

Oh, and for the Sinclair folks...the 'castle' at New Ross doesn't exist.

But keep poking. Conjecture fuels research...but it is still not the same as proof. As long as everybody understands that.
