This sword is a fake. I saw where an expert in Roman Archaeology looked at the video and said it was a reproduction. The History Channel is best known for MAKING UP their own history. I am disappointed with their Curse of Oak Island. It appears more and more like a show faked! Every episode has a new THEORY, but little answers to prove fact. The whole notion has as many holes and it has "tunnels" under the island.

Nice article that wasn't researched from D&D books or fantasy novels [a major failing it seems many people do ... I source incense from a new age based shop and the people in there seem to get their info from novels and games. *sigh*]
I always loved the idea that we got the stories of the Little People from a long held memory of the people that lived in small dugouts like on Scara Brae. There are troglodite homes scattered all over the world and some have held residents continually for all of recorded history into prehistory. Fascinating!
It seems to me that the shipwreck would be the real key to confirming ancient visits to the New World. The sword could have been dropped in the water 50 years ago from a collector but a shipwreck would be a genuine find especially if it could be identified as an ancient vessel. Let's hope someone can take a look at the shipwreck they say they have identified and can shed some more light on this item. If it is a Roman or ancient European shipwreck then it will be one of the biggest finds in North American history--like the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland.
The choice of 25 December for the celebration of the birth of Jesus is that the purpose was to Christianize the pagan festival in Rome of the Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, meaning "the birthday of the Unconquered Sun", or Sol Invictus, a festival inaugurated by the Roman emperor Aurelian (270–275) to celebrate the sun god and celebrated at the winter solstice, 25 December.
An explicit expression of this theory appears in an annotation of uncertain date added to a manuscript of a work by 12th-century Syrian bishop Jacob Bar-Salibi. The scribe who added it wrote: "It was a custom of the Pagans to celebrate on the same 25 December the birthday of the Sun, at which they kindled lights in token of festivity. In these solemnities and revelries the Christians also took part. Accordingly when the doctors of the Church perceived that the Christians had a leaning to this festival, they took counsel and resolved that the true Nativity should be solemnised on that day."
Yeah, this is a fraud. As much as it would be fun to fall for this nonsense, the presence of a known flim flam man in the proceedings is all you need to discount the "findings." For a few hundred bucks, you can buy these things in Europe and then pretend to find them in North America.
Important to remember this isn't the chemistry of ‘their’ proposed solution but rather work based on Dr Allan Mills’ research. I admit this is a unique theory but worthy of the case as to how the shroud was formed, instead of debunking it outright as a fake. Dr Mills writes (pay particular attention to the very last line):
“As has recently become recognized, our living cells fight a constant battle against highly reactive molecule fragments that threaten their very lives, and there is one molecule in particular, known as singlet oxygen, that can be released as a gas. According to Dr.Mills, it is this gas, released by the cells from a traumatised plant, that creates the brownish images to be observed of the Volckringer effect botanical specimens, and could well have been responsible, in like manner, for the image observable on the Shroud. As Dr.Mills has concluded his paper in Interdisciplinary Science Reviews:
Although images of this nature associated with botanical specimens pressed on paper are not uncommon, that on the shroud of Turin appears to be unique because of the need for a highly unlikely combination of circumstances that are not individually demanding, namely: (1) a long shroud woven from fine linen (2) its hurried draping over the recently deceased (unwashed?) body of a tortured man in a sealed, thermally stable place (3) removal after some 30 hours; (4) storage in a dry, dark place for decades or centuries.”
I have been researching for the last 48 hours and I am coming up with a lot of dead ends. I would love to really make progress in my search to learn of the ancients, rituals, symbology, astrology, and magic in terms of use, history, and application. I have found many sites that are full of crap such as the grey school of witchcraft and wizardy. It is insulting that such a thing exists and really frustrates a person aspiring to patake in this lifestyle. The headmaster looks like he is trying to impersonate Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter which we all know to be fiction I'm sure. Anyways, if someone can help point me in the right direction I would gladly give my time on this earth to the practice.
1000 years old ... that would place it dating to 1000 AD/Ce [whichever you prefer] And has anybody forgotten the Silk Road, and the issue that people and goods traveled BOTH ways? Perhaps the navigation guide roughly dated to 100 AD/CE that gives rutter type instructions to cross the Indian Ocean to India and other vessels heading eastwards to trade?
Sheesh, it isn't like there was a huge barrier between East and West that was knocked down by the Brits and Portugese in 1500 or anything. *cough* Urumchi *cough*
It is ignorant to claim that there no pre-Hispanic record exists of people with caucasiod features in the region. All one can claim is that they have not yet found such a record.
If the wreck exists and is excavated then perhaps the traditional Columbus history will finally be augmented with new facts and discoveries. Certainly anyone who wanted to know has known for many years that others came before, long before Columbus who never set foot in North America anyway. Great show guys and gals keep it coming!!

Hi Aruvqan. One thing I learned in many years on the Internet is to read stories brefore commenting. I mention the Silk Road.
