Newberry Tablet
Fort de Buade Museum ^ | bef. 2015 | unattributed

...Why do the Greek descendants of the Minoans share a gene in their DNA with the Chippewas and no one else on the planet?

In November of 1896, near the town of Newberry, Michigan. In Michigan's Upper Peninsula two woodsmen clearing land on a farm uprooted a tree and discovered three statues, and a clay tablet.

The tablet was 19 by 26 inches in size. 140 small squares were cut into the stone. In each square a letter or character. The University of Michigan and the Smithsonian Institution were notified. Both of these institutions, at the time refused to look at the artifacts, they didn't believe they were real, and they didn't know how to translate the stone, because at that time, the "Hittite Empire" had not been found by any archeologist until 1905.

Photos of the Newberry Stone were taken in 1898 and sent to the Smithsonian. The Stone still existed in 1947, but it had never been heat treated, and it crumbled into dust. In 1947 some 50 years after finding the stone, a researcher heard about the stone, and asked the Smithsonian for the photos. The Smithsonian, said that they had lost the photos, and they tried to cover up the existence of the stone, for some reason.

In 1988 the photos of the Newberry Stone resurfaced, and were found in the Michigan Archives. Dr. Barry Fell President of the Epigraphic society deciphered the tablet he said the tablet was written in ancient Hittite-Minoan. He immediately compared it with the Phaistos Disk from Crete.

The tablet was written in magic quadrangles, to be read both vertically and horizontally. Therefore the text was read in a boustrophedon pattern. The tablet contained instructions for obtaining favorable omens from the Gods for good luck.

America Unearthed is available on the History Channel site; the other one will probably reappear as well.

Hmm, I couldn’t get the title for the discontinued YouTube, but here’s the America Unearthed links:

Your first link:

THIS EPISODE IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON OUR SITE.

(all caps in original)

That episode is, according to the message, available on Amazon or iTunes. Looks like they want to earn $$ and not allow it to be viewed for free (this is happening a lot, BTW).

I did see that the "Giants in Minnesota" episode is available for free

- from that link. Also fascinating:

Giants in America - I saw the brief series and read the book:

The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America: The Missing Skeletons and the Great Smithsonian Cover-Up.

There are a few photos available of giant skeletons with double rows of teeth, but too many people who found these skeletons sent them off to the Smithsonian. The evidence is absolutely compelling - and it is a sin what the Smithsonian has "lost," i.e., covered up.

That’s not surprising, as History Channel isn’t a broadcast channel; ordinarily it would only be available as part of a subscription to cable or dish; the copper episode is indeed free and unlocked if one streams using Roku.

Thanks for the info. I’ve seen the episode.

I don’t have Roku, and just checked that it is $2.99 on Amazon. I have Amazon Prime and it is not one of the free series.

The History Channel channel on Roku offers a selection of episodes as ‘unlocked’, the Oak Island series has about six or seven, and with HC’s series the ones unlocked get rotated in and then out, with one from the new season added near the beginning.

The Roku stick is usually $50, same with the Roku 1; $2.99 sounds like a great deal to me, will have to check that out!
