Regardless of the potential authenticity of the sword, the fact that it was removed from the site with no archaeologicial surveying or documentation has already tainted any information it could have contained. It's now out of context.

To be blunt, if historical fact was never mixed with historical fiction then to pursue the former without the latter no facts would ever be scientifically proven. Let's all be honest, theoretically proven digs with all the archeological evidence in the world have been proven otherwise and so is the nature of evidencuary compilation. Will there ever be a definitave explanation for the first exploration of North America? Speculation abounds for one reason, we are a society of FIRSTS, first to buy silk, first to mint monetary coinage, first to build an atomic bomb, first to use it, first to go to the moon and so on....When the journey exceeds the excitement of the destination we are all entertained momentarily until the next 'best thing' comes along...we are all to blame for things like the History channel tries to provide...if you get your historical data from a tv show then I've some swampland in Florida for you!!!...if nothing else there is some entertainment for the more historical intelligent community as long as we all agree its like watching The Rock and Hulk Hogan attempt to beguile of us our plight hurtling through space if for only a moment.
Um...we KNOW North America was not "discovered" in 1492. And it's not "suggested" that Vikings made it here before Columbus. It's been proven. L'anse aux meadows in Newfoundland is a confirmed viking settlement dating to 1000 A.D. It was discovered in 1960 and is recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site. DOI!!
Sure, it is the work of Dr. Allan Mills. So? Let's accept that, that could happen to "stain" or "discolor" a cloth-- seems OK for all I know*. But that's not the problem is it?
They think that they try to get around the draping/distortion problem by having the means of image-making rising vertically. That does not solve the problem at all. Cloth touching your cheek near your ear accepting some stain or image vertically would be in only a few threads less distorted.
Again, it brings up even more problems besides not solving the width distortion problem (that the authors also noted plus the cloth fold issues which I haven't even bothered to bring up.) Cloth draped at even a modist 45 degrees, falling over the sides of the face, if the image making 'gas' was rising virtically, would be at an angle to the cloth and you'd see staining on the sides of threads more than on the higher sides whereas staining from the nose/chin/forhead would be evenly distributed left/right on the threads. But... who cares? The 'face' would look comically wide, which it does not. So I don't mean that as "another nail" I mean it to point out the lack of rigor of anyone proposing this 'virtical' solution--it hardly strikes me as a sincere proposition.
* I'm well aware of singlet oxygen--it's always looking for an electron to steal, and when it does, it causes damage to whatever it took the electron from. That's great if it's your immune system killing a bad guy--not so good when it's healthy tissue. Using anti-oxidant for anti-aging has been around in popular/layman health literature for decades, popularized in the Dirk Person/Sany Shaw book "Life Extension."

You say "While it has long been suggested that other ancient civilizations reached the New World before Columbus, including the Vikings.......". No suggestion, the vikings were in North America and the proof of course in their extensive camps or settlements.
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.
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.
