Henrik Williams Debunks Scott Wolter's Claims for Old English Runes in Arizona

6/17/2015

35 Comments

 
It seems that more media outlets are getting the message that America Unearthed and its host, Scott Wolter, are producing pseudo-history rather than serious documentaries. Case in point: Atlas Obscura ran a piece yesterday on the almost certainly modern hoax Viking inscription on a rock on Noman’s Land Island at Martha’s Vineyard in which they described Wolter’s efforts to have the rock removed from the island in these terms:
In 2013, another proposal was levied in front of the BUAR [the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources]. This time, the proposer was none other than Scott Wolter, a forensic geologist and host of the pseudo-scientific archaeological show America Unearthed on the History channel. Wolter proposed to assemble a team to remove the rock, and put it on permanent display in a museum on Martha’s Vineyard, so it could be safeguarded for further study. The BUAR, as well as the historic preservation commission of the Wampanoag tribe, jointly shut down the request. 
The Wampanoag consider Noman’s Land Island to be sacred and frown upon removing anything from the island. 

But that’s not the half of it. Regular readers will remember that back in season one of America Unearthed Scott Wolter visited Arizona and claimed that some runes found in the desert in 2010 were a grave marker for Peter “Rough” Hurech, an alleged twelfth century English explorer, whom Wolter asserted was the architect who taught the ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi) how to build cliff dwellings. I dismissed the claim after attempting to confirm Alan Butler’s assertion on the show that the Staffordshire County records office in England had proved the existence of Peter “Rough” Hurech when that same records office told me that they provided no information to Butler and had no record of any person named Hurech, let alone Peter.

Swedish public television, SVT, reported this week that Henrik Williams, the runologist who has clashed with Scott Wolter over the Kensington Rune Stone, attempted to test Wolter’s hypothesis that the Arizona runes were in fact medieval and made by an Englishman by looking for the actual source of the runes. Williams told SVT that “it is a completely insane interpretation presented in the program.” Unsurprisingly, Wolter is wrong about every single point of the runes except for the fact that they are a type of rune, according to Williams, who published a draft of his results on his Uppsala University website, which (disclosure) was partly inspired by and cites comments left on my blog and parts of my book Unearthing the Truth. Weirdly enough, Wolter almost got one thing right when he noted that the runes looked too freshly carved to be medieval, but instead of taking this as evidence of a modern origin, he instead decided the stone had been buried in a cave, thus keeping it looking like new. Guess what: He was wrong there, too.

Williams identified the runes as common Germanic runes, and not Anglo-Saxon as claimed by Wolter and his friend Mike Carr, who had offered a prima facie false translation during the episode that involved death, an Englishman, and something called the “Temple of Eden.” Williams identified an unusual lightning-bolt rune in the inscription as the vowel A, based on its use in the Istaby inscription, apparently the only known medieval instance of its appearance as such. He then was able to transliterate the runes and compare them to known languages. He discovered that the inscription was made in a modern reconstruction of an extinct Baltic language called Sudovian, which translated reads “Hello! I (the) Sudovian write runes. Pashka is my name.” The reconstructed language exists in service of a hypothesis about Viking colonization of the Baltic coast. Williams discovered that the owner of the Sudovian homepage containing the reconstructed (i.e. made up) language is Joseph Pashka, who lived in Arizona and told Williams that while he did not carve the runes, he knows who did and that they were made around 1993. 

Williams added commentary in his report on Wolter being very, very wrong, and he noted that there is a colonialist streak to claiming Native people needed English help to build their own houses.
Elementary competence in reading runes is obviously not considered as hard science, and the result of it all is what happens when you let a runic cowboy instead of a professional runologist investigate a runestone. When does entertainment with a claimed scientific basis become simply deceitful?
For those of you who read Swedish, be sure to check out Williams’s comments on Scott Wolter and America’s love of pseudoscience at the end of the SVT article. The gist of it is that Williams finds it outrageous that the History channel (and H2 before it) gives Wolter a platform to opine. He feels that pseudoscience is far too rampant in the United States, and indeed is creeping into Sweden as well. He says that his letters to the editor refuting pseudoscientific claims are never published because the media prefers wild speculation and lionizes people like Wolter who “have built their careers on false assumptions” about history. Williams concludes by noting that pseudoscience plays into America’s distrust of authority and widespread anti-intellectualism, as well as a cultural contempt for the humanities. “I usually say that if you have problems with the electricity in your home, you call an electrician. But as soon as it comes to the humanities, everyone thinks you can do the job yourself.”

The medieval desert episode was the very first AU show I watched. I couldn't believe how ridiculous it was on its face and even sent a laundry list of logical fallacies contained within when challenged by Wolter on his blog. Professor Williams has already set forth his personal experiences with Wolter's intellectual dishonesty he discovered when trying to work with him. I suppose that even if Wolter is confronted with aspects of the now solved desert "mystery", he would never acknowledge it; which will be simply more confirmation of both Wolter's incompetency and deceitfulness.

I understand the need for substantial academic research and credible resources to support alternative theories for history. However if it were not for professional researchers like Wolter, we would still believe that Europeans "diiscovered" the Americas. There is ample evidence that other cultures not only travelled here, but traded as well. Asia and the Middle East included. But some academics keep the evidence suppressed and simple refuse to accept it. Its that Western Exceptionalism mindset. With a little work, other theories can often be proven. Man has lived for tens of thousands of years. To think white people were always leading the charge on everything is absurd. He may have been proven wrong on some of his theories, but there IS archaeological evidence to support much of his work, including the idea that Mayans came to the area that is now Georgia. So keep your heads in the sand. But History is constantly changing. I used to think Columbus discovered America too. Until I knew better

I believe that is Scott Wolter found camel turds in the desert of Arizona he would date them to the time of Marco Polo. The kindest thing you can say about him is that his methodolgy is flawed and his conclusions are without foundation backed by any real scientific evidence.

Calling a website like Atlas Obscura a "media outlet" means that all the websites supporting Wolter and other "fringe" writers are also "media outlets."

Congratulations Henrik. I happen to live quite close to the Mustang Mountains, and through a bit of chance and serendipity, Dr. Williams contacted me for pictures and I was able to help him with some local investigation into this "mystery." I had been trying for over a year to translate the Mustang Rune Stone using many variations of the runic alphabets and many ancient languages without much success. It was not until Dr. Williams made the correct translation (which revealed a name) and linked that name to a website dedicated to all things Sudovian, that things started to fall into place. Yes, the stone was carved in the early 1990s by a local resident that lived very close to the Mustang Mountains, and his residence was actually close enough that he had a very nice view of the Mustang Cave from his home.

Interestingly, these rune re-creation carvings are not the only carvings made by the local person in the early 1990s. I have some pictures of a second rune inscription that is located across the valley in a second shelter cave, and it translates perfectly via Sudovian, just like the Mustang stone.

Some brief background.

After Wolter's episode of the "Medieval Desert Mystery" aired over two years ago, I contacted both Scott Wolter and Mike Carr regarding an explanation about how their rune translation was made. After some emails, Wolter put me in contact with Carr. Mike Carr would not divulge details about how he accomplished the translation, and he would only refer me to The Calendar & The Cloister: Oxford-St. John's College MS17, which he said he used to complete the translation. He wished me luck in my attempts to replicate the translation, but he would not tell me how he did it. Carr's reluctance to share how his translation was made seemed deceptive to me, and unlike what a legitimate researcher/scholar would do.

It was a pleasure to share information back and forth with Dr. Williams, and I am very happy that the true story behind the Mustang stone can now be revealed.

Hey Sierra Vista Hiker,

It's been a while since I lived in your neck of the desert; however, isn't it illegal to deface the caves, etc ... Did you report this dude that you know about?

This is from the AZ state parks

"If you see people vandalizing sites, please report it as soon as possible to the public land manager (e.g., the Forest Service, the Arizona State Land Department, etc.) or their law enforcement entity.

Archaeological site locations are also protected under federal and state laws. Please do not disclose information about where sites are located, as it could potentially lead to those sites being vandalized or looted."

The second inscription is about 1/4 mile south of Pyeatt Ranch, up in a rocky outcropping. You can see the "cave" from Cimarron Road, just east of the West Gate community.

I have pictures of the second location, if Jason would like to post them.

A little off topic, but you may find it interesting. The article makes me wonder if the fringe crowd will accept it or will they cry CONSPIRACY!

The article talks about the latest findings on the Kennewick man. DNA tests say it is a Native American after all.

Jose, the publishing of the article on the date they did violated an agreement they had with a source for the story, who wanted it published on some later date. They just published it too soon, breaching the embargo they had accepted from a source.

Why would you say "white supremacy"? From the articles on Kennewick man I believe he was thought to be Polynesian. I don't think that anyone believes that North America hasn't been trekked by perhaps dozens of cultures including Japanese and SE Asians. South Pacific Islanders from the Marquesas made regular trips to Hawaii. I was at the gathering of canoes there in 1995 and navigational skills (using guide stars, wave patterns and birds) were well known hundreds of years before Cook. Why would it be a stretch to think that a Polynesian made it to Washington?

The carving is from the 1990s a little before the Internet came into fashion and includes the date. Ha. Also making up a new language just to say it's forgotten and mysterious is funny. Those aren't even runes. It looks more like Hebrew. It almost looks like one line says 'Merry Xmas' with the hooked x. :)

As a guest of a rancher, I climbed up to the cave in 2009 and took a picture of the Rune Rock. Since the rock was not mentioned in the survey of the cave in 1984, (as Scott Ross states in video), you could easily surmise it was done after 1984. I just watched the episode and it was absurd. Thank you for the clarification of the meaning of the runes.

Yes, the absurd show lives on. More information has come to light since the show was first aired. I was able to locate a report documenting this cave location completed by the Arizona Cave Survey on November 8, 1981. There is an actual name for this shelter cave, Pictograph Cave. The boulder that has the rune inscription was not buried in 1981 as Scott Wolter opined. The boulder is illustrated in the report, and no rune inscription was evident on the boulder at that time. Additionally there were no rune inscriptions on the walls of the cave in 1981. If you watch the television show closely and freeze frame at just the right times, you can see "KAILS" carved in runic fashion at two places on the cave walls. The show ignored these inscriptions because they didn't fit their phony narrative.

According the rune carvers own online dictionary, Virdainas, the authentic Sudovian greeting "Kails" or "Kailas" reaffirms that we are all ONE, with each other, and with the Earth we share.

Defacing an archeological site is, in my opinion, much more dishonest and deserving of a trial and jail time than misleading gullible people. Should you disagree with me, then please disagree without being disagreeable. We are debating the merits of Scott Wolter's veracity, and it is over an apparently illegal act which may be part of destruction of a historical site.

Not much of a debate here, and I am not a disagreeable sort of peep. Of course, defacing a cave or archaeological site is unlawful. In Arizona it is a Class 2 Misdemeanor. Airing television nonsense masquerading as legitimate research or science is legal. The maximum penalty for a Class 2 misdemeanor in AZ is 4 months jail time and a fine of $750. The authorities were aware of this defacing several years ago, the state archaeologist and Land Dept. know. They haven't pursued the case. The stone carver has moved out of state, and I have been told by an attorney friend and local law enforcement officer that this case will likely never be prosecuted. And, the TV show lives on.
