Wednesday Round-Up: Atlantis Found (Again), "Oak Island" Says Mi'kmaq Worshiped White Man as a God, and AltRight.com Teams Up with Red Ice Media

1/18/2017

45 Comments

 
​Yesterday, the publicists for the National Geographic Channel offered me the chance to interview Simcha Jacobovici and Richard Freund about their new documentary, Atlantis Rising, which will air on NatGeo on January 29. The two will be doing a series of interviews to promote the show, which will allege that a set of six Bronze Age stone anchors found on the Atlantic side of the Strait of Gibraltar is evidence of a wealthy maritime civilization that inspired Plato’s Atlantis. The documentary was produced with the help of James Cameron, who declined to make himself available for interviews. Jacobovici is the TV producer who famously alleged that Jesus did not die on the cross but was buried with his wife Mary Magdalene in Jerusalem’s Talpiot Tomb. Freund is the biblical archaeologist who previously “discovered” Atlantis in Spain in a 2011 NatGeo documentary widely criticized by archaeologists for false claims and for appropriating without proper credit discoveries others made.
​The publicists said they would send me a screener this week, and I am dying to find out how Freund had allegedly discovered Atlantis again this time. I will be even more interested in how Freund reconciles this new discovery with his previous claim that the Greek Atlantis was actually the Biblical city of Tarshish, which he placed on the Mediterranean side of Spain.
 
Meanwhile, The Curse of Oak Island delivered another in its endless series of boring episodes about drilling pointless holes, but in so doing it stopped to share false claims about Henry Sinclair, the first Earl of Orkney. They are the same false claims that have been repeated over and over again, but it is worth listing the fake facts that are repeated so often that many mistake them for history:

  • Fake Fact: Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney was a member of the Knights Templar. Fact: The Knights Templar were disbanded decades before Sinclair was born. There is no evidence of any contact between Sinclair and any former Templars.
  • Fake Fact: Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney sailed to Nova Scotia in 1398. Fact: The claim rests on a bizarre interpretation of the Zeno Document, a Renaissance hoax. In the 1700s, Johann Reinhold Forster identified the document’s Prince Zichmni with Sinclair in a bid to glorify Scotland. The text, however, was silent on such matters. It stated that Zichmni traveled to Greenland, where he lived out his life. By the end of the nineteenth century, Sinclair partisans had begun to argue that Sinclair (or his son Henry II) had reached America. Frederick Pohl, in the mid-twentieth century, claimed that Greenland was really Nova Scotia in order to bring Sinclair to Nova Scotia specifically, from which he became attached to Oak Island.
  • Fake Fact: The Mi’kmaq worship Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney as the hero-god Glooscap. Fact: This is another invention of Frederick Pohl, who misread a Victorian collection of Mi’kmaq stories and mistook them all for tales of Glooscap. Based on that misreading, he imagined Glooscap had parallels with generalities about Sinclair’s life, as reconstructed by Pohl. I imagine that at least some Mi’kmaq must be insulted that the History Channel keeps claiming that they ignorantly worship a white guy from Scotland as their god because they were too dim to distinguish between white people and deities.
 
Based on these fake facts, the Lagina Brothers have become convinced that Glooscap was Henry I Sinclair. Consequently, when Terry J. Deveau, the head of the New England Antiquities Research Association—a fringe history organization—announces that a rock that somewhat resembles a face is in fact a carving of the god Glooscap because of its supposedly distinctive and pure Mi’kmaq features (as opposed to, say, every other Mi’kmaq in the world that it could be, if it were a face), the show concludes that the carving is a representation of Sinclair, who, of course, was not a Mi’kmaq but a Scottish man who served the Norwegian crown. Deveau is described on the show as a historian, but his education is in acoustics and astronomy.
 
Finally, I want to say a few words about the launch of “alt-right” fringe history advocate and philosopher Jason Reza Jorjani’s new website, altright.com, produced in partnership with white nationalist leader Richard Spencer. The site launched on Martin Luther King Day, as promised, with white nationalist content drawn from Spencer’s publications and Jorjani’s publishing house, Arktos Media. But what I want to point out is that Jorjani and Spencer also drawing on a key purveyor of fringe history, Red Ice Media, an outlet that has welcomed both white nationalists and fringe historians. Now an a partner in altright.com, Red Ice Radio has played host in the past to the likes of Robert Bauval, Yuri Geller, Scott Wolter, David Icke, Richard Dolan, and Scotty Roberts, alongside programs devoted to “white genocide,” miscegenation, anti-Semitism, and the “genius” of Adolf Hitler. Its current program, listed on the altright.com homepage, is about the “war on whites.” It is a white ethno-nationalist media company that draws on fringe history and alternative archaeology in order to delegitimize mainstream history. The most obvious reason for doing so is to open space for white nationalist reimagining of history to take the place of hard-won fact-based conclusions.
 
Most major fringe historians seem to have gotten the message that Red Ice is a racist organization, and they have stayed clear for the past year or so. But Red Ice continues to promote fringe history, devoting a recent episode, for example, to conspiracies about the Knights Templar and the Assassin’s Creed video game series.
 
Yes, those Knights Templar, who are somehow part of both The Curse of Oak Island, where they had the brown-skinned people of Nova Scotia worshiping them as living gods, and white nationalism, where their esoteric wisdom has made them carriers of the magical spice that makes Western Civilization unique. I trust that I need not point how such conceptions are more or less two sides of the same coin.

The Curse of Oak Island basically leads the cable ratings for its night, even against reruns of Big Bang and Family Guy, and is in the top ten for weekly cable ratings as well. So despite its constant and reliable mendacity, it ain't going anywhere; in spite of the seemingly noble intentions of its lead cast. At this point, said cast are co-conspirators in the poisoning of the well of knowledge and their credibility highly suspect. They have to know the lies behind this myth, as well as the geology of the island which dictates the futility of their continued digging.

I really enjoy the show. Unlike many others, they are willing to document their failures and repeatedly state that their true goal is to find an answer, even if that means nothing is there. Only one of the brothers talks about a possible Sinclair or templar connection, but again is sceptical as he knows there is no actual evidence. Although I hate the narrated script, repetitive nature and "cliff hangers" I like it for what it is, mostly just a documentary about what they are doing.

The Lagina Brothers, along with Prometheus Entertainment, are perpetrating a fraud based upon a known hoax in presenting lie after lie each week when this television show airs. Do you even know what they are doing on that island? How much of the filmed content is current, or even authentic? The notion of treasure on Oak Island has no basis in fact, history or science.

Please visit this site and read what is offered:

Sadly Joe you are missing my point as to why **I** am interested in the show. I don't care if there was, is or ever will be anything to find. I am interested in the process, devices and techniques. To me, for a diver to go down a 4 foot pipe 200 feet into a cavern, natural or otherwise, is an amazing feat that I want to watch.

Considering how dangerous such dives would be, and that as an engineer, attorney and millionaire Marty Lagina would have to realize the futility of it in the first place... I have serious doubts such endeavors are undertaken in the manner of which they are portrayed. "Reality" shows generally aren't, and Oak Island has been a con job for centuries now.

Reality TV shows regularly lie about what they are doing, who is doing it etc. They lie about the show being like a documentary and unscripted, when it is scripted with actors. So the processes and techniques you are seeing are likely special effects and distortions and not real.

Like the great majority of reality TV shows this one about Oak island is a piece of fiction scripted and acted out to entertain and like CSI the processes and techniques bogus.

If you treat this show has complete fiction, not taking place in the real world, it is much easier to enjoy.

I have never seen "The Curse of Oak Island", but it seems to me that it being an island means that it would be fairly small. It would seem that after a while they would run out of places to dig holes. Also, it would seem that all they are actually finding from this holes is not treasure, but television rating.

Speaking of revenue, once again the subject of diminishing financial resources came up, in reference to what to do. The last time this was mentioned, a couple years ago, the group subsequently trooped off to a local CAT dealership and obtained about $450K in heavy equipment. Does anyone not think that the "investors" ceased funding this project long ago, and that it has been wholly taken over by Burns?

The island is substantial especially in comparison to sinking a steel casing 4 feet across into the ground. You could miss your "target" by 6" and never find it, if there is anything to find.

Before calling Terry Deveau and the organization "Fringe" you may want to tie a deeper look into who he is, what he has done and what he does.

I've known him for quite some time and he isn't looking for publicity not came, just history, and has been one of the go to historians on the East coast because of his knowledge.

If you get a chance to meet and talk to him you'll see that he is well grounded and doesn't make assertions on a whim.

And maybe talk to some of the Micmac who are still around. Even they believe Glooscap was white.

Do you have a reference from before the middle twentieth century identifying Glooscap as white? All of the earlier references I have found make no mention of his skin color, and most distinguish between him and the European colonizers. For example, from 1891: "But the mighty Glooscap was not able to cope with the white invaders who came into his domain. He was vexed with the English beyond all endurance."

As a child growing up in Nova Scotia, at school, we learnt that Glooscap was a Mi'kmaq legend telling of a white man worshiped as some type of god. I always found it odd that this supposedly ''white man'' would be mistaken as a god by the natives of the area. But the legend has significance other than that.

1/18/2017 04:23:57 pm

No offense, Elizabeth, but when I was growing up, we were taught in school that the Pilgrims were friendly folk welcomed by the Native Americans, too, instead of the truth that the PURITANS got kicked out of everywhere else they tried to go and they had touch-and-go relationships with the Native Americans in New England, who had been recently utterly DECIMATED by disease and thus COULDN'T run them off even when they tried.

"I learned this in grade school" is not a guarantee of truthfulness.

Hi Jason,

To answer your question posed to Randal, yes, sort of. There are references directly from the Mi'kmaq nation describing Glooscap as coming to their "country from far to the east. Far across the great sea; a divine being, though in the form of a man." He was a friend to the Indians, teaching them to catch and cure fish, taught them the names of the constellations, and how to grow crops. This comes from the late 19th century missionary work among the Mi'kmaq by Silas Rand, who documented their many oral traditions.

So while not identified as white, there certainly are European connotations to the tradition of Glooscap's origin.

If you can refer to Mi'kmaqs as Micmacs, may I refer to the God of too many people as Chrestus rather than Christ?

Jason,

Do you object to those who claim that Jesus died and stayed dead? if so, this is the insertion of a religious bias into your scholarship.

And What says the Bible?

Job 7:9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.

Ecclesiastes 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

As a nerd with an engineering background who really enjoys the hole digging and excavation aspects of Curse of Oak Island, I just want to say I really appreciate and respect Jason's Fake Fact listicle in this post. The crap conspiracy theories this show gives air time to, nearly ruins the parts I do enjoy. It's always a slog to get through those parts of the show just to get to the cool hole digging stuff. But seeing a preview takedown of that crap, before I watch it on demand, helps immensely.

Anyone know why Jorjani calls his company Arktos Media? Some years ago I read a book by that title that was about mythology of the poles and how it related to Nazi occultism, and as I remember it the author claimed that Arktos was an old name for the Big Dipper, and the inspiration for the shape of swastika. I don't think Jorjani would want to invoke Nazism that directly, but maybe I'm wrong. According to Wikipedia Arktos is the name of famous centaur, but as a symbol of miscegenation I can't imagine that character would appeal to Jorjani. I also note that the symbol Jorjani uses for Arktos looks a bit like some of the viral pictures of the Antarctic pyramid that has floated around the fringe-o-sphere for the last couple years, though that would be on the wrong side of the planet for the name.

Why do these people claiming Templar heritage think somehow it would change all history if one of them was related to them? It really makes no sense. It would give them no riches. It would give them false fame. In the end, they're like the one hit wonders that come and go, and are heard no more. It doesn't make one wit of difference if we say this guy is a Sinclair or related to Pinnoccio through Gepetto.

I suppose that I would be labelled a sceptic if I were to point out that that these bronze age anchors must have been made in the Bronze Age whilst the wearisome Atlantis perished thousands of years before and that the Phoenicians were actually a Bronze Age Sea going Civilisation and not Atlanteans.
Can't they get anything right?
Also Greenland had been occupied for Centuries before the supposed Sinclair voyage so the coastal tribes of Labrador would have probably been already familiar with white visitors had there been any contact atall and would hardly worship any Norse trading Fish and Goats or whatever.

As I've noted before, it's amazing Atlantis seems to have been everywhere in the world except for one place: right where Plato said it had been.

Neither Jorjani nor CoOI are doing themselves any favors. If we could recycle natural resources like the fringe recycles old debunked claims, I don't think we'd have an ongoing energy problem.

If only we could build technology that supplies power by running on the seemingly endless crap produced by the fringe.

Charles-Joseph De Grave, an 18th century Fleming who wrote in French, wrote a book called "La République des Champs Elysées" in which he claimed that Atlantis was located in the Low Countries (Flanders and the Netherlands). So as you can see, Atlantis has truly been located all over the world, even on Antarctica and in the Sahara.

Hi Jason,

When the COOI crew filmed me at the Peggy's Cove stone head location, I tried to make it clear that in my opinion it is more likely that certain features on this stone were enhanced by one or more Mi'kmaw artists (presumably in the distant past) to make it look more like a face, versus any other explanation that I could think of for the texture variations on the stone surface in the areas that specifically enhance the facial appearance. The bulk of the stone would still look a lot like a face and a head, even without any enhancement (just naturally). Furthermore, the shim stones under the "head" that keep it level and stable look like they may have been placed there, rather than occurring naturally, because of their shape and placement (but that is not a proof, of course).

The way the clip was edited, it was made to sound like absolute claims were being made, despite the fact that I was trying to underscore the speculative nature of my comments. They filmed a lot more of my discussion than they ended up actually using on the show, and that editing was totally out of my hands.

The face looks like a depiction of Glooscap to me, but of course that is purely a subjective and speculative comment, not intended to carry any weight. I cringed internally when I said that Glooscap was a Mi'kmaw "god", because I don't really think that is the correct term, but I couldn't think of a better word to use then and there, off the top of my head, cameras rolling.

An intense Mi'kmaw presence and heritage is acknowledged by mainstream historians for this section of the coast, particularly focussed on Indian Harbour, just a couple of kilometers to the north, but no bone fide experts have yet commented on this particular stone, one way or the other, to my knowledge, despite my having alerted some of them to it.

"The face looks like a depiction of Glooscap to me...." How or why would you possibly think that? You even added "but of course that is purely a subjective and speculative comment..." What leads you to even speculate that? Did the Mi’kmaq make depictions of only Glooscap and no others? Why not speculate that "The Lake Winnipesaukee Mystery Stone" is a depiction of Glooescap also?

Mike, I'm not trying to make a big deal of this. Like I said, it is just a subjective reaction to what appears to me as a piece of Mi'kmaw art. I have seen a lot of Mi'kmaw art by contemporary Mi'kmaw artists. Glooscap is sometimes displayed in contemporary Mi'kmaw art. A good place to see Mi'kmaw art is at the Millbrook Cultural and Heritage Centre near Truro, NS.

Also nearby is the Mi’kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail which has a lot of art on the many informational panels.

The idea that Atlantis was the city of Tarshish in Spain just outside the Strait of Gibraltar is a fairly old idea dating back at least to the late 19th century. It is part of the great game of locating Atlantis all over the world. And of course like all other theories about the placement of Atlantis it matches Plato's Atlantis "perfectly". Whatever.

Atlantis was a fairly ordinary place, but with interesting natural forma tions which became sensationalized. It's "history" probably does go back to the early Holocene. Why its actual location is not in the forefront, ahead of such as Thera , Spain, Azores, Bimini, Andes, and Antarctica, is strange.
