Tropical Tramp, as I mentioned in another thread, my condolences on the loss of your friend. There is a bright side to his passing, however - at least he died doing something he loved. (I presume he loved treasure hunting or he would not have been there by your side.) So many people die without ever having known the reward of pursuing a dream.
Blindbowman - now you have a very different theory as to what you found from your earlier posts. A few points (among many) are in order, for one, it seems very unlikely that the original Tayopa was found or worked by any Templars, since the discovery of Tayopa post-dates the destruction of the Templars organization by nearly two centuries. Time-line problem with that possibility.
Then there is the problem of proving that Templars were even aware that the American continents existed, much less had a fleet of treasure ships to send across the Atlantic. As you well know, the period during which the Templars were operating is known as the "Dark Ages" or Medeival period - and most Europeans were not even aware that the world was a sphere. Seafaring abilities were not on a par even with the late Romans, (excepting the Norse) and most sailing was done along coastlines within sight of shore. This led to historians of today claiming that this coast-hugging was always the case prior to the late 1400s, which is false - but during the period you are claiming that the Templars sailed to America with the table settings of the Last Supper is not a time period when European navigation was skilled, nor ships being notably seaworthy. Arab ships of the period were quite capable of reaching America however.
Then there is the problem of the Last Supper table setting. Do you believe that Jesus and his followers, men and women who very much held money in disdain and were not wealthy by any means - would even OWN a gold cup among them? Remember Jesus of Nazareth was a carpenter by trade, not some wealthy person or royalty. "Render unto Caesar the things which are of Caesar,..." so the idea that a set of incredibly valuable gold and silver place settings would have been the utensils used at the famous Last Supper seems extremely unlikely and illogical. I am rather surprised that you arrived at this conclusion.
Is it impossible that the Templars could have known of the Americas, and have sailed here? Of course not - in fact there is a distinct possibility that something was in fact spirited away from Europe and possibly buried in the now-infamous site known as the Money Pit (Oak Island) by none other than Henry Sinclair, in or about 1321. However it is quite another matter for a medeival European ship to have carried a cargo up the Salt river to the Superstitions. For the Templars to have chosen that site to hide some treasure, they must have had knowledge of the place prior to that moment - so exactly how did the Templars gain knowledge of the Superstitions?
I wish you luck in pursuing your theories and in attempting to prove them, and look forward to reading the account of your adventures when you have completed your next expedition. I hope you will keep us posted, and as always - remember everything I have said here is just my own opinion - no offense was intended.
Good luck and good hunting to you, I hope you find the treasures that you seek.
your friend,

"it seems very unlikely that the original Tayopa was found or worked by any Templars, since the discovery of Tayopa post-dates the destruction of the Templars organization by nearly two centuries. Time-line problem with that possibility. "
i agree 100% i do not beleive the templars had anything what so ever to do with the tayopa . the maps ,stones ,and dirrection have nothing to do with tayopa .. let me explan .
the events take place in around 1307 . the templars send the treasure to the caost where it is put on ships to send away .. many of the templars were never killed they vanished .. i beleive they sent a few ships to oak island to miss leed everyone and then the main fleet went south to the Azores
"The Azores may have been known to the ancients and were included on a map in 1351 " i could beleive the templars did not leave any signs and if they did they were very few ...but if we are to beleive my thoeries to work we must also look at what little evidence oak land has given up .. the goat hair parchment with writeing . was it posable at the time the templars vanished ,, the answer is yes .. we can only judge this time line by those of the last crusade that date from between 1271 and 1348 the true dates are unknown ,, this would fit the time line of the templars vanishing act ....
if in 1519 geronimo de Agilar saw copper bells they must have been contacted before that date ...
it may thoery that the templars knew just what they had and they secreted it to theis holly cave , how they found out about this location we never know , but i could guess the Aztec , knew about it in the time span...
we know the temple mount treasure was taken by the templar and we know they vanished ,,, they had to go somewhere . and here in the stones we see the simbolic end of the templar knights .. i think this is just why no one could under stand the clues . we were all trying to see how the jesuits and the fransicans fit the treasure . ,they dont .. how the tayopa becomes part of this site i do not know .. but the fact remains . this is the templar site . now if the tayopa list is listing part of the temple mount treasure then there is no dout they found some record of it some where ...but the jesuit came much later then the templar ...
and yes i do agree with you oro . if the templars were there frist then the rest is all here say and the jesuits had little if anything to do with this treasure in the tunnel ...it would be some real wild odds for this type of relegious treasure to show up in that area from two diffrent scores ,.. when the stones picture the templars ..i have to side with the logical . the date of when the treasure it self got there could be as late as 1500's but i beleive it got there way earler like 1305-1310....
"hen there is the problem of proving that Templars were even aware that the American continents existed, much less had a fleet of treasure ships to send across the Atlantic.

lol i agree if this was not the templars .. they had vast wealth , and wisdom and at one piont controlled almost all of the known europe at the time .
and if the stone dose in fact show a templar priest then we have evidence they did in fact reach this site .. this could even explan why there is lemited to no records of the actives of this site anywhere after they had been betrayed they wanted to vanish . i think we are looking at what happend to them ...but one thing is fact the templar where years ahead of any one else in math and construction ... there is just to little known about them , this is the only evidence i have herd of after they were stated to vanish from europe...
i think logic tells us if this is a templar site then it would have to be from those years ...
not those of the jesuits from 1592 to the later 1646 of the dateing of the treasure list ,, if we agree the treasure list is even real what do we have to judge it by . in this case we have the relationship between history of the tunnel location and the recorded events that evidence subports has happend in the area around this site ... much like that of the massacre site area ...
i can only ask how many other stone tablets have been found ...just the fact know one knows where they came from or where they were made . yet look at what i stated . if the stone tablets were very old and then broken over bigger tablets and made in to the stones . they could very well look fake a look like reproductions ...just in the way they were made by the templar ...
my piont is look at this stone tablet found at the temple mount .. if you dont beleive it looks very much like the priest stone tablet then , what can i say ? ...
