"America Unearthed" Returns for New Season; Plus: UFO Wreckage and the Sacred

2/13/2019

​Before we begin today, I want to pass along some breaking news. The Travel Channel made it official yesterday and confirmed that they have renewed America Unearthed with host Scott F. Wolter for a new season. Citing the show’s “built-in fanbase” from its time on the defunct H2 channel, Travel Channel executive Jane Latman said that “Adding ‘America Unearthed’ to the Travel Channel slate is sure to be a crowd-pleaser and ratings driver.” 
It was exactly as I predicted when I broke the news of the show’s return last week: The 25% spike in the network’s average Monday ratings for the reruns of the show currently airing on Travel are indicative of the expectations for higher ratings for new episodes. The only saving grace is that almost no one watches the Travel Channel, whose viewership rarely surpasses 500,000 viewers. In its H2 run, America Unearthed drew around 1.2 million viewers. If even half show up for a new season, Travel will see a huge ratings spike—by their standards.
​This also explains why Travel’s PR reps have refused to respond to my requests for comment: They don’t care about the show’s history of pseudoscience, cultural insensitivity, and false conclusions, nor is it a problem that its “built-in fanbase” contains a significant contingent of white nationalists. (The show was one of the few documentary series to have had extensive and sustained discussion on the Stormfront website.) All that matters is getting consistent ratings from a specific audience, as we’ve seen from parent company Discovery Communication’s rebranding of Destination America from a network for young liberals (when it was Planet Green) to a good ol’ boy network focused on bacon to its current incarnation as a paranormal channel appealing to undereducated rural viewers. Travel is becoming a conspiracy theory channel cutting slightly younger than History’s geriatric audience. (Travel also announced two new series exploring paranormal and historical mysteries.)
 
Last month Oxford University Press published American Cosmic, an ethnographic look into the “UFO phenomenon” by Diana Walsh Pasulka, a professor of religious studies at UNC Wilmington. We met Pasulka last year when she participated in a UFO symposium with Jeffrey Kripal, the professor who believes Renaissance art documents flying saucers. When she was promoting the book last year, she upset me a bit by endorsing a postmodern view that truth is unknowable and that UFOs have a quasi-mystical function, which she called “cool.” Well, now the book is out, and Glenn C. Altschuler reviewed it recently in Psychology Today. He liked the book’s ethnographic look at people who devote their lives to ufology, and praises the rather obvious insight that ufology is now a religion where aliens serve essentially as angels, but he found that Pasulka was somewhat too awestruck by the celebrity ufologists who have scientific backgrounds, which may have led her to be too uncritical of her sources, whose identities she has protected by not revealing their real names:
That said, Pasulka seems awe-struck by and uncritical of the scientist-ufologists on whom she relies.  And she seems to equate scientific expertise with expertise about artifacts and sightings.  The research of Tyler, a former NASA engineer [note: Pasulka actually describes him as a wealthy jet-setter who worked on the U.S. space program, presumably as a private contractor], and James, a professor of biology at a first-rate university, she writes, “has produced revolutionary, and very real products.”  Pasulka regards them as “heroes,” who have “the guts and ability” to take on skeptics, and are “fighting the good fight for the right reasons”:  because they believe, and “they would say,” because they know.
​Naturally, Pasulka treats Jacques Vallée as a hero rather than what he really is, a sloppy scholar who accidentally hit upon a cultural perspective on UFOs and proceeded to embroider it with pseudo-scientific fantasy to preserve a “mystery” that his own ideas, applied logically, would eliminate. In fact, she heads the book’s conclusion with a quotation from Vallée in which he says to her, “Credo quia absurdum, eh, Diana?” (“I believe because it is absurd, eh, Diana?”)
 
But I am most interested in an almost offhand observation that Pasulka makes, about the way even “scientists” who are involved in ufology treat alleged UFO wreckage and alien implants much the way Catholics venerate the relics of the saints. Their “investigation” goes beyond science into the realm of New Age mysticism. Here is Pasulka’s discussion from American Cosmic. The section begins with a discussion of the “sacred” element of religion, which she defines as a mysterious element that exists as the object of belief but cannot be understood or tested in the usual way. She compares this to an “artifact” that her sources claim is utterly incomprehensible and exists outside of all known explanations for its existence. Although she does not discuss it in detail and hides both its identity and that of whoever has it in his possession, it sounds a lot like one of the pieces of industrial waste that ufologists who match the description Pasulka describes, such as Hal Puthoff and his colleagues, have alleged contain chemical compositions unknown on the Earth. She says that the “artifact” was found in the desert southwest near Roswell, that ufologists suspect it is a “part” from a flying saucer, and that it returned anomalous tests for its chemical compositions and structure—all claims we have seen before. For our purposes, the exact artifact isn’t important, though I’d lay odds that it’s one of these so-called “metamaterials.”
 
Pasulka said that she was amazed that scientists like “Tyler” and “James” were so comfortable with the ambiguity of not knowing what the object is or how or who made it. That’s when she realized that their investigation wasn’t about finding a scientific reality as much as it was about exploring the sacred.
Tyler told me an anecdote that demonstrates the artifact’s sacred significance to him and to many of the scientist-believers. Tyler had put the part in a backpack and had then stopped in to see a friend. He and his friend visited and dined, and then Tyler left to continue his travels. The next day he received a message from his friend.
 
“I had a dream about the contents of your backpack. I dreamt that there was a separate universe that you carried in it. A universe that was created within this universe that who knows where this universe was created. Had very much the essence of turtles all the way down … ha!”
 
[…] For Tyler and the scientist-believers, the artifact’s mystery is not only impenetrable but also compels their reverence and belief. In the words of Tyler D., it was “elegant beyond comprehension.” At the end of my research, I am an outsider to the community of scientists who are also believers. I can’t solve the mystery of the artifact, but I have seen how its reality has inspired belief, and, as Jung notes, rumors that spin mythologies.
​How can reality compete when the believers hold “implants” and “wreckage” as sacred evidence of transcendent truth, detritus reimagined as divine, like the mammoth bones made into the relics of demigods, or the Antique bric-a-brac passed off as Christ’s tableware and personal effects?

[Everybody else get to be nationalist just fine.]

Incorrect. Here, for example, is the Southern Poverty Law Center describing Black Nationalism in negative terms.

https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2017/return-violent-black-nationalist

https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/black-nationalist

The SPLC also correctly notes something that can be easily seen: Black Nationalism hasn't achieved mainstream acceptance in the United States like White Nationalism has.

And here are some discussions of Hindu Nationalism that also describe it in negative terms.

So, your point is? Any form of identity extremism, that makes 'others' suspicious or scapegoats, especially if it accumulates in violence, deserves to be on the Southern Poverty Center list. Two wrongs do not make a right.

No one takes black nationalists seriously; they don't even have a coherent doctrine. Farrakhan wants a black state which he will get just as soon as Jerry Lewis cures muscular dystrophy. And muh reparations!

Most black nationalists talk a good game of moving to Africa or Israel but never seem to get around to it. Black Mayor Wilson Goode firebombed four square blocks of Philadelphia but was not able to eliminate the black nationalists.

The SPLC is itself a hate group.

"In different periods of history the human mind works in different ways. Our ancestors believed in angels. Today we hear little about angels, instead we are pre-occupied with extra-terrestrials. Now why has there been that change? Answer - angels fitted into the old world-view and met people's needs. People wanted to know that God was not indifferent or remote - but through his servants, his ministers, guarded and guided them. Today we have a scientific world-view and rather different problems. We need to feel that we are not alone in the universe. So our stories about extra-terrestrials are expressions about our religious needs. We've come to see all such ideas as expressions of the religious imagination shaped by the pre-occupations of the time."

An interesting exploration of "bitter clingers", their roles in ufology and society in general through the lens of Jason's Kampf against them.

"Destination America ... its current incarnation as a paranormal channel appealing to undereducated rural viewers." I'd be interested in some numbers on that.

Bartlet: Give me numbers.
Mrs. Landingham: I don't know numbers. You give them to me.

"lay odds" not "lay down odds" although who anyone lays down with is none of my business.

Jason's right about one thing: white nationalist are an existential danger and need to be rounded up into camps of some sort.

I'm not sure about that. He started out lifting already existing material from the likes of William F Mann, Alan Butler etc. now he seems to be encouraging his dimwitted associates like Donald Ruh, Diana Muir and Patrick to write his new material.
I guess we will see what the show shows. He was filming in Muirs Wemyss caves, so he is probably all in in the Prince Henry nonsense.
His long awaited new book, I'm sure won't be released until he gets a splash of attention from the new TV series.

Jim and Doc Roc,

How do you place a date upon an inscription? If not the methods described by Scott Wolter, what methods should be used, or considered? When you find an inscription on a historic structure, no one has noticed before, what is the best protocol for validation? Whom is considered the authority?

Jim
2/13/2019 11:38:00 pm

Accumulated Wisdom (Anthony) :

A good place for Wolter to have started would have been to take the advice and recommendations of his peers on the team of Swedish scientists and Runeoligists who examined the KRS with Scott.
Rather than doing that Wolter ignored their advice and then began lashing out and claiming conspiracies by the scientific community and others. (Can you imagine ?)

Here are records from Dr. Runo Lövfendahl and other documents that explain it better than I ever could.

https://websites.godaddy.com/blob/65151a46-8ee3-453c-83d3-7b1077c69c9e/downloads/1bjjqj891_340022.pdf?953cacef

Accumulated Wisdom,

I see two issues here: the authenticity or lack thereof of the Kensington Stine and the whole absurd Templar spinoff that Wolter has created out of it. My understanding is that even the few professional scholars who lean toward seeing the KS as authentic have much more jaundiced views of the Templar con. My comments were directed to the second issue.

In terms of having the authority to determine authenticity of the KS, I would prefer just about anyone with a bit more training than a B.S. in geology and a propensity toward Templar fantasies.

Jim

Doc:

"In terms of having the authority to determine authenticity of the KS, I would prefer just about anyone with a bit more training than a B.S. in geology and a propensity toward Templar fantasies."

Both Dr. Runo Löfvendahl (and his team of experts) and Professor Weiblen would have to be considered infinitely more qualified than Wolter.
Since both these men examined the interior of the core sample and accompanying microscopic scan data, and neither could find Wolter's claimed biotite,,,,,,well,,, no biotite makes Wolters dating clams that completely relies on the presence of biotite absolutely untenable.

Thank you, both. I am not talking about authenticating the KRS. That is someone else's cup of tea. I am seeking someone with impeccable qualifications to validate NEW discoveries on a historic structure.

Hypothetically speaking...Say someone finds an inscription within the Great Pyramid which, NO ONE has ever seen, or noticed before. What would that person need to do in order to validate the find?

Paul
2/14/2019 02:08:04 pm

There are a few comments directed towards the KRS. If you want to read a concise destruction of Wolter, although not mentioned by name, get a hold of a copy of Michael Barnes Runes Handbook. On about page 140 he pretty much destroys any authenticity for the KRS. Barnes is an actual knowledgeable individual. This beside the fact that the KRS was cleaned with unknown solvent and scrubbed and dating about impossible. Do not believe Wolter could date his dick if he held it in both hands.

Check out recent published work in Egpytology on the google scholar search engine. Then look up the homepages for the author or authors on their respective university or research center websites. They often provide a lot of info on education, professional training, special skills, research experience, etc. that will give you some idea of what it takes to be viewed as having some degree of authority in a given area. But even then they have to submit their research to often brutal peer review.

This link was just the tip of the iceberg. I need to find as many Geologists with universally-accepted qualifications as possible. Also, as many Runic Experts(NOT Williams), Language Experts, and religious art historians. There is some sort of religious expression, carved below the Pentadic number, I pointed out in the deleted post. This is just ONE, stone.

Anthony, you maniacal imbecile, Professor Henrik Williams was one of the only runologists to give the Kensington Rune Stone a fair shake. He was always open to authenticity, so long as the basis for any such finding was rational. How was he paid back by Wolter when the professor gave him the benefit of the doubt? Defamation. Pure defamation. That's why no true scholar will go near Wolter. He's poison.

I'll agree with you there. He did a show about hidden chambers in the US. One place he went was in Pennsylvania. Two men contacted him about a hidden chamber that had water that was located on some property where the owner allows hunting.So Wolter went there, but the land owner wouldn't let him see it, nor speak to him, which told me a lot about his character or reputation. So he sent these guys in to map it out and had a model made of it. Tried to tie it to ritual bathing and the Templars. Just wanted to shake him. This chamber had nothing to do with Templars or ritual bathing.It is what is known as a spring house. These were built with a basin in which spring water would flow and they could put jars and crocks of food to keep the food cold. Get any of the Foxfire books by Elliot Wiggington and his students of Rabun Gap school. They have spring houses in them and they were used for exactly what I just said.Also on his show about the Lost Colony of Roanoke I didn't like the way he spoke to the gentleman at the museum. Almost got nasty about the fact the man disagreed with his theory on the colony.
I don't get his obsession with the Templars and their link to America.Maybe they did come here, maybe they didn't. We know that they had a fleet of ships and they took off carrying things of value .Where they went don't know. They could have buried things on Oak Island, or maybe at Ross Chapel, erected by Henry Sinclair. Don't forget the Templars were in England and Scotland.They were also in Spain and Portugal. When the axe fell on them in France, if i recall, they didn't disappear in Portual or Spain, just changed their name. to something different.Google should have information on it. There were even Templars apparently in Germany. There is some thought that their members in the country could have joined the Teutonic Knights , or other orders of knights etc. My late father was german, and some of his mothers relatives, the von Lilienschilds according to german records, go back in the records of the City of Riga to the 13th,14th century. They belonged to the Livonian Knights of the Sword, later absorbed into the Teutonic knights. As far as grandpa's side goes, there may have been some members who were Templars or Teutonic knights.Family in Nuremberg keep the family history book, and there is a copy in the State Archives in Hamburg. Would like to check this angle out and go there some day, but hardly an obession. I don't know anything about runes, but the thing to do is let Scandinavian scholars actually look at the runes and determine if they are ancient or modern.Languages change over time. New words appear and old ones die out, same for languages.

It's a pain in the ass approach. Holding one device in zoom, while focusing the other device. Trying to get pic before zoomed phone shuts itself off. Had to prove the inscriptions are THERE, and on which stones.

I DID NOT analyze. I documented stones with RUNIC inscriptions. Sent evidence to appropriate people. Further examination is required.

There are a lot of modern inscriptions on the NT too. Possibly...These could help date the older inscriptions. The "Dirt Doctors" will have something new to argue about, and call each other names over. Should be interesting.

"Taking a picture of a picture" especially with two Smartphones is a sure-fire way to introduce the artifact problem I referred to above. It sounds like what you're doing is making a compressed image of a digitally zoomed compressed image. That's a red flag.

To be clear, it sounds like you can't see the carvings on Smartphone 1 but after photographing Sph 1 with Smartphone 2 you can?

Kent,

https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2011644728911720&id=114338978642314&set=a.114955778580634&source=54&refid=13&__tn__=%2B%3E

I have caught glimpses of symbols in various photos of the NT, over the course of my life. Always thought, I was seeing things. Due to the work of Patrick Shekelton, I learned the NT did have inscriptions. Due to the diligent work of Jim Eagan, and others, I had the ability to point out POSSIBLE inscriptions. When asked to do so, I had to use my phone to pull up image, and my wife's cracked screen, POS phone to take photos. Damn thing did not want to focus. That's it. Tower location. Targeted area for high-tech investigation.

You have me on Digital Photos. I was Darkroom trained. I can see digital artifacts, as well as modern carvings. Like some chump decided to carve the initials of his/her University. Damaged a historic structure, and yet, may help date the older Runic inscriptions.

Mr. Shekelton pulled up his own photos, and agreed. There is something there.

I am geeked to pieces with anticipation.

The "Trademarked Symbol" and symbol to right, can be found in following link.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will look into it.

The basic question is still "Why does photographing Smartphone 1 with Smartphone 2 make the 'carving' visible?"

If you could "focus" on that it would be fantastic!

These inscriptions are clearly visible. Phone to phone is irrelevant, and does not enhance in any way, shape, or form. The only difficulty was wife's cracked screen, and subpar camera.

If that's not enough.

You can "F.O.C.U.S."

I will wait for the results of the targeted investigations. Then, the whole world can see, what myself, and others see.

Kent
2/25/2019 11:35:02 pm

Anthony, I fear you just don't understand. I don't think the process you used "enhances" but that it clearly introduces errors, "artifacts". As you describe it you

1. Displayed a digital zoom (further compomirising image quality) of a compressed image on the small screen of a Smartphone
2. Photographed the digitally zoomed compressed image, or at least part of it, with another Smartphone. And it's this compromised image you're relying on?
3. The original image, which was NOT large, was a JPEG, which is a compressed image. So presumably you have made a JPEG of a JPEG. That is a recipe for bad photography. Especially when you're trying to convince people that "there's something there!" It's like adding extra curliques to fingerprints.

Jim
2/25/2019 11:47:00 pm

Wait,,,, what ?,,,Patrick has already named it "The Inscription Stone",, (shouldn't you get to name it Anthony ?) lol.
So, three crude linear scratches becomes 521 ????
And than this:

https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2011644728911720&id=114338978642314&set=a.114955778580634&source=54&refid=13&__tn__=%2B%3E

"What does 521 represent? It is an azimuth position on the structure. However, one needs to work within the Anglo-Saxon dimensional values to arrive at a valid conclusion. You can see the calculations on the slide. In short, a rotation of 521" AS on a 792" AS circle demarks the 237° point on the circumference."

It's always something with Patrick, if it isn't the Royal Egyptian cubit it's the Megalithic mile, now we have the "Anglo-Saxon dimensional values". So, we have three scratches on a rock denoting "a rotation of 521" Anglo Saxon on a 792" Anglo Saxon circle demarks the 237° point on the circumference"
This is rich, hahaha
Hey Patrick, maybe the rock got scratched when the Chancel fell over ! lol
Don't wait up on a Nobel Prize for this Anthony.

Gentlemen,

I am not seeking anything. This is someone else's work, someone else's photographs. I have merely pointed out inscriptions.

Taking pictures of the images, only diminished them. However, by pointing them out, the originals were looked at.

You have to read ALL of Patrick's material. It's broken up in sections, and one can follow along his thought processes. Sometimes, slides come up out of order. Occasionally, getting the answer before, reading the thought process. Sometimes, seeing where he's going, long before he gets there. It's been a fascinating read which has taken months, if not years to fully ingest, download, and read cited sources. I just happened to be paying attention at the right time.

What's funny is just by me posting to this blog, y'all had won. Too smug to even realize it. I, in no way, shape, or form buy the Sinclair Journals. Thankfully, I found Patrick's new links, while he was arguing with dan. I'm back on the right track.

I meant no disrespect to Geologists by repeating "Dirt Doctors". This is what Doc called Phds in Geology. As well as several other academics, I met growing up. One of the early seeded ideas, I need to shake.

Jim,

Those "scratches" in the link are from a 1946 article. DIFFERENT STONE.

Daylight/Darkness ratios and Length of Day... You're not getting it. ALL of the various units of measurements are related to these concepts. He converted values to Anglo-Saxon because, that is the system of measure used by the Tower's builders.
Oh...I forgot...You haven't read all of his free, publicly available ideas, and sources.

Unlike Muir, Patrick isn't trying to squeeze anyone for money.



Jim
2/26/2019 10:05:40 am

Anthony:
I looked up gullible in the dictionary and there was a photograph of you.

" He converted values to Anglo-Saxon because, that is the system of measure used by the Tower's builders."

No, he used the Anglo-Saxon foot measurement because he could massage that number into his dumb-assed formulas.
Here are other measurements he used for the Newport Tower:

"-Vertical dimension of 20.625”, direct correspondence to Egyptian Royal Cubit (20.64”, or 1.72’);
-Horizontal dimension of 12.0” (30.48 cm), direct correspondence to Megalithic Arc-Second (30.36 cm);
-Ratio of Vertical:Horizontal dimension (20.625”/12.0”=1.71875), derived correspondence to Egyptian Royal Cubit (20.64”, or 1.72’);
-Ratio of Summed Values: Horizontal dimension (32.625”/12.0”=2.71875), derived correspondence to Megalithic Yard (2.72’). "

Megalithic Arc-Second, my ass,,,gimme a break there is no such thing !!! He just made that up !!!
I argued his nonsense with him on Wolters blog.

Me:
"Patrick, thank you for your reply. However, one square royal cubit has 4 equal sides of 1 remen, or approx. 1.2 feet (not always given as 1.2). Bisecting a square royal cubit can only give you 2 triangles with angles of 45, 45 and 90 degrees and must give you two equal lengths and a hypotenuse(royal cubit approx. 1.72 feet) This is factual, it is what it is. In your triangle calculation you have used 1.2 feet, 1.72 feet and then introduced a totally alien 45.8 degree latitude in the formula. Why ? Besides the fact that it's not even an angle, it makes your calculations faulty by making two different lengths for the sides of a square. This is impossible !!! It also gives you angles of 45.8 and 44.2 degrees, equally impossible when bisecting a square.
From what I see, you have forced the 45.8 degree angle (??longitude) where it simply does not fit to enhance your theories of the KRS. The math is faulty and simply does not work. Perhaps you erred in using the approximations of 1.2 and 1.72 feet as exact dimensions ? If this is the case then I apologize for using the word falsification. The facts remain that a square is a square, a isosceles right triangle is a isosceles right triangle and the rules of geometry cannot be changed to prove a theory."

After much hand wringing and hair pulling, Patrick finally said this:

"You are correct, the 45.8 degree derived value is slop. Good catch!"

http://scottwolteranswers.blogspot.com/2017/11/proof-positive-kensington-rune-stone-is.html

You can believe this claptrap all you want, I won't argue the point with someone as gullible as yourself anymore. You have bought into this nonsense 100% and now are contributing to this pseudo crap, give your head a shake.

Jim
2/26/2019 11:05:08 am

P.S. ,,,

" He converted values to Anglo-Saxon because, that is the system of measure used by the Tower's builders."

You could be right, since the tower was built by English settlers, they may have well have used English measurements.
Highly unlikely the Templars or Norse would have used English (Anglo Saxon) measurements,,,,,or Royal Egyptian cubits,, or made up megalithic measurements.

Jim
2/26/2019 02:00:24 pm

P.S.S.,,,
On second thought the English converted to the modern foot at the end of the 13th century, so even in the era of the KRS no one used the Anglo Saxon foot.

Anthony: not making yourself look good here with the insults. You are no Don Rickles.

I've read a lot of Patrick's stuff and it's mostly nonsense where he tries to bamboozle the readers by throwing a bunch of numbers and a bunch of new acronyms (AS, ES, e.g.) at the reader. I'm sensitive to mental health issues so I won't make fun of you but your posts do sound a bit on the manic side. Might want to reread them.

Some highlights; ,,,I haven't listened to it all yet.

- The Founding fathers were Templars ! (not just Masons)

- During the crusades, Templars broke into the Talpiot tomb, stole some of Jesus' bones and left three Templar skulls to guard the tomb.

- Templars knew where the Talpiot tomb was because they (the Templars) were descendants of the Royal family.(Jesus, Mary,Joseph etc.)

- The Algonquin and Iroquois tribes joined forces to wipe out the Vikings in North America.

- Says the continental divide is near where the KRS was found, later says the divide is in Montana.

And on, and on, enough fertilizer for 8 sections of land.

Wait, here is another recent nonsensical podcast with Whopper Wolter:

https://catsroundtable.com/scott-wolter-columbus-first/

It's mostly his same old, same old, crap, but at about the 9:50 mark he claims the same culture that built the Egyptian pyramids built the ones in Central America.
He goes on to say that this was previous to the global flood where the polar ice caps melted and raised the level of all the oceans 300 to 400 feet. Says if they look at Chinese documents from 11 thousand to 12 thousand years ago they will chronicle this catastrophe.
Considering that the earliest form of writing in China is about 3500 years old and the earliest form in the world is about 5000 yrs. I think we can safely call bullshit on all of this. Not to mention that the Egyptian pyramids are less than 5000 yrs. old and the Mesoamerican ones are newer than 3000 yrs. old, so, I fail to see what any nonexistent 12000 year old Chinese records would have to do with it.
Wolter is such a simpleton and oh, so easily debunked. He obviously just makes crap up with no actual knowledge of history.

"The "proof" is the copper is gone. Someone took it, or perhaps it was aliens?"

More on... or maybe I should say, Moron Wolter on the copper heist...

After Doug basically blows down Wolter's house of cards with cites, credible information and a request for a detailed original account of how 1.5 billion pounds of Great Lakes copper was ever produced in the first place to go missing, Wolter counters with this:

"Doug,

Thanks for your input. You still haven't addressed the where the estimated 1.5 billion pounds of mined copper went. You keep arguing it couldn't have ended up in Europe where experts say there wasn't enough copper to produce the quantity of bronze known to exist. You just seem to want to argue."

So no credible cites offered by Wolter. Just proof by assertion with a touch of appeal to (unknown) authority. Then Wolter actually offers this:

" Why not put some of your energy into trying to prove the case instead of solely arguing against it? It's called taking a balanced approach. Try it sometime."

So basically Wolter takes a credible query, offers absolutely nothing substantive in response then begs Doug to join him on his imbecilic journey. Guess that's all we're going to hear from Doug on this one.

Jim
2/26/2019 11:25:46 am

Doug:
"You might want to look into some of David Pompeani's work on prehistoric copper mining in the Great Lakes area to get more of a professional perspective on the topic."

Wolter:

" (you cite no sources so we cannot call them facts)"

Joe:

" Guess that's all we're going to hear from Doug on this one. "

Hey,, new posts up and poor Freddy's post is not there,,, yet again ! Our Scotty sure doesn't like any discourse that shows him to be wrong.

"Attempting a conversation with Wolter…"

Well, once he gets word you've posted here, he'll declare your troll status to his minions and flush you from his site accordingly. I'm certain our current resident lunatic will oblige Wolter in this regard.

He'll let you state your case, but then douse it with his own non sequitur; which is enough balm for his minions, and apparently his own ego. But even if you remain civil, when he reaches a point where he feels he's losing his grip (and probably has to be told so by his wife), then comes the T word. For me, he declared he discovered that I was in fact his nemesis, Dick Nielsen, in disguise. This went on for some time. Then Nielsen died.

It ain't worth posting over there. Unless maybe you're having a laugh at the imbecilic poseur's expense. Even that gets old though. It's funnier to read what the idiots who believe in him write. That's comic gold there.

Should the United Nations be alerted to Wolters new show ?
Remember Scott's last show "Pirate Treasure of the Knights Templar" ?

http://www.jasoncolavito.com/pirate-treasure-of-the-knights-templar.html

The UN (UNESCO) was forced to step in and put the kibosh on Wolter and Barry Clifford to protect heritage sites of Madagascar shipwrecks.
That was the show that our dubious duo pretended old sunken dock or wharf works were the remains of a pirate ship and recovered a chunk of lead and then had a ceremony presenting this lead as a pirate treasure bar of silver to the President of Madagascar.

Then we had Wolter and Pulitzer team up on a project that went nowhere, involving their plans to rob and desecrate a grave of an alleged giant.

http://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/wolter-and-pulitzer-announce-plans-to-rob-presumed-native-american-grave-to-search-for-giants

Now we have Wolter teaming up with the likes of the nonsensical Diana Muir and Patrick. Should we be worried about damage to historical sites such as the Wemyss caves etc.?
Wolter shows no compunction when it comes to doing whatever he pleases and damaging sites and removing artifacts and souvenirs to add to his collection and promote his show.
Recall when he went on private posted land and stole samples of a rock that he believed to be of historical significance and transplrted his samples across an international border with even attempting to get permission from the owner or the proper government departments.

http://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/juan-ponce-de-leon-and-the-overton-stone-of-nova-scotia-whats-in-a-name

We really should be concerned with how much damage Wolter is capable of doing to historical sites in the pursuit of pure nonsense only to feed his own greed, ego and cries for attention.

Keep in mind he corrupted the KRS with chemicals and took an unauthorized boring sample from it. I suspect he believes it in some way belongs to him, viewing himself as a real world Aragorn, taking ownership of anything Templar, Templar adjacent or Templar designated by Wolter.
