Hay Raparee you never did give me your name or info last summer when you wanted to be on site, now would be a good time. Just PM me the info, because I need to check out anyone that wants to help us on site. You didn't think I would forget you to. I am waiting for your PM , Thank You
Canoeing up the Gold would involve portaging six sets of waterfalls between Mahone Bay and New Ross. Why would they subject themselves to that when they could have sailed up the LaHavre? Not to mention the dozens of other suitable sites in NS that they would have sailed past on the way to Mahone Bay? What is so special about New Ross to have made that unnecessary work worth it?
I have read it. It's nonsense. Actual archaeologists have visited the site, and have not found anything out of the ordinary. All the 'artifacts' that Harris found were nothing, the foundations are nothing, and the stones that FK is chasing are nothing. Harris posits that Celts, Phoenicians, Norse, Scots and English were all here for over a millennia, well before Columbus, and yet no evidence of any of them were found.
As interesting as Harris's writings are (I love her bits on aliens and ghosts and leprechauns), they are nothing but fantasy.
Now Raparee, with all due respect, there is evidence for the Norse having been around these parts before Columbus. The presence of butternuts at the L'Anse aux Meadows site in Newfoundland - butternuts don't grow there, but they do elsewhere in the Maritimes, which really can only mean that the Norse were active somewhere else. I can only presume that you were being specific to the New Ross area with your post?
Not sure why I'm going to post stuff like this again, but here goes. The Templars were never dissolved in Portugal. They became the Knights of Christ. Henry the Navigator was a Knight of Christ. The early Portuguese who explored here were members of that order as well. For me, when I speak of the Templar presence, it is under the guise of the Knights of Christ. So, yes, the Templars were here, but again, for me, not in the way other folks are interpreting it. Fagundes was here before Champlain. Seems to me that if folks were pell bent on finding Templar "treasure" they would try to find the footprints of the Portuguese and take it from there. That seems more logical to me. Just a thought.

Your actual archaeologists did say the stones could have been building foundations. The latest photos FK posted show more of these footings, which they certainly were, the only question is the dating.

I highly recommend members DON'T! We are a worldwide website with thousands of daily guests.OK Its time we take a look at some of our members here to see what they are up to. No matter what is said about New Ross they BASH it down, WHY . Its not just what I say but its Joan's work, Eldo , Lokiblossom , Nostra Danis , and many other members that voice their thoughts here. But why are they so set on bashing anything about New Ross. Its time we look at each one and go from their. Lets start with New Age a Junior Member, what can you tell us about your self. What is your name , are you a treasure hunter, what tools of the trade do you use, or are you here just to bash us all. You can PM me some info or are you hiding for some reason. I gave everyone my name and address and I have nothing to hide. So what can you tell us about you. You don't post on other post just here so whats up
.
"...could have been..." foundations isn't the same as "are" foundations, and "...could have been..." foundations sure as Hell isn't "are the foundations of a super secret Templar castle complete with holy well and treasure vault".
Considering the agricultural nature of the area, if they were foundation stones ... so what? It's obvious from FK's photos that there couldn't have been anything substantial on those footings.
Could have been is far different than nonsense and, or nothing...
...and I personally am sure there was a "so-called" super secret Templar Fortress in Nova Scotia...
Btw, why do you use bold type, is it to intimidate?
The nonsense that I was referring to was Harris' writings... but you knew that, didn't you.
Based on absolutely nothing but speculation, fantasy and pointing statues.
Are you intimidated by bold text?
