Exactly. You have nothing.

Repetitive, uncreative, unimaginative behavior. A robot.

You should try to come up with an original thought instead of just linking an image.

It may lead to some introspection and self enlightenment.





Nah.

They used them as common "Depth Markers"!

18th century Nova Scotian barns had Roman numerals, too. Most timber framed structures built with mortise, tenon and pegs did.

Shows...You are doing some...Research!

18th century Nova Scotian barns had Roman numerals, too. Most timber framed structures built with mortise, tenon and pegs did.

Especially the research about "18th Century Nova Scotian" Freemasons, building with Roman Numerals!

What is interesting is that with a "Timber Framed Structure", they would change the Roman Numeral letter "4" from "IV" to "IIII" and the letter "9" from "IX" to "VIIII , to not confuse it with an upside down "XI".

This was done to avoid confusion when matching up the precut Beams.





You will notice that the Beam found on Oak Island has the Roman Numeral "IV".



When the British used Roman Numerals as a "Depth Marker" there was no need to alter the numbers, as no matching up was required.

The number four is represented as "IV" or "IIII", interchangeably. A lot of clocks which use Roman numerals use "IIII" instead of "IV". Maybe people find addition more simpler than subtraction (ie: VIIII as opposed to IX, or IIII as opposed to IV). Looking for Masonic (or whatever) solutions is really reaching.

Yes, again to prevent confusion of "Pocket Watches" with the letter "4"..."IV" and "6"..."VI", when viewed in different positions!



One must "Really Reach" in order to find the "Answers"!

"IV" Viewed upside down would be "I/\".

Not much chance of mistaking those.

9 & 11 are MUCH more likely to be confused upside down. IX & XI. So the solution was to underline them where that might happen (or put them on a watch face where they were near the edge to be the "top" reference).

Next hypothesis, please.

I found a 1661 Lincoln head penny once. Strange things was, when I turned it upside down it read 1991.

How Rhetorical!

But this has nothing to do with oak island.......

I Believe...It is You!...That Has Nothing To Do With...Oak Island!

Posters have been expressing their Own Opinions on this matter...against what are well researched published writer's.

But what does it have to do with oak island? I’m waiting for someone to show the world factual evidence as to whether or not there was ever anything significant about the island and not here to read fictional accounts or theories...

With Actual Evidence having been located...On Oak Island!

'Cause one team of treasure hunters among the dozens of different groups that have arrived in the last century thought it easier to mark the structure they were putting up that way. Before the causeway was put in they would have needed docks and/or ramps.

Maybe these guys in 1897 . . .



Or these guys in 1938 . . .

 

[bigscoop]

I think the real issue is, "what does any of this have to do with a hole in the ground that was placed there to hide treasure?" Where did this come from? Is it documented somewhere or is all of this just man made speculation?
