Dear cubfan64;
It's actually the only correct way to look at it, my friend. Someone comes along and stumbles upon some stone carvings. This in and of itself is suspect but to add fuel to the fire, he immediately proclaims that they somehow point the way to the Lost Dutchman's Mine. How could he have possibly known this for a fact if he were not able to make heads or tails of the carvings, my friend? It's a classic example of argumentum ad 1gn0rantiam or appeal to ignorance in English.
It's a common fallacy that an argument is true simply because the premise cannot be proven as false. It stems from the human desire to want to know and explain everything, and whenever we witness something which we cannot readily explain, we strive to find a way to make it fit, no matter what sort of flights of fancy need to be taken in the process.
Someone can state with authority something such as "The grammar is completely wrong and the spell is atrocious" and someone else will come along and try to explain that discrepency away, no matter how illogical the argument becomes. We can take the crystal skulls as another fine example. We know from studying the skulls under microscopes that the tools used to produce the skulls are from the modern era and that the quartz used to produce the skulls was mined in Italy, yet there exists legions of people who try and explain away these facts.
Because we have the ability to discern between historical cultures we can scrutinize a questionable item and ascertain with a fair degree of reliabilty from which era the item was made. This is where the Peralta stones come into the picture my friend. The caricatures are cartoons, and I mean this is the literal sense of the word. Cartoons, as an art, were unknown until the last century. The very first cartoon modern character was Mickey Mouse.
it is obvious that the carvings on the stones are of the same art style and there exists no example of a horse or a witch that was drawn in the mid 1850s which even remotely resembles the ones on the stones. We can look at the dagger, replete with a thumb guard and history tells us that this style of thumb guard was virtually unknown until the mid 1840s and it did not reach popularity until after the Civil War.
In other words, the dagger depicted is in facta rendering of a Bowie knife, except that Bowie knives in the mid 1800s looked nothing like the modern era Bowies and the Bowie knife in the carving is definitely a modern-era Bowie. Fr. Polzer reviewed the stone carvings and he determined them to be modern renderings. Likewise, scores of other highly reputable historians have done the same and their collective verdicts were all the same.
Yet, in spite of this, there remains those whom prefer to believe that the stone maps represent something more than which they seem to proclaim.
Your friend;
