I don’t know how the weather is there, but it’s more like the onset of winter here today, howling wind, high of 49F, sucks, basically.

A summer vacation spent looking at artifacts sounds good, doesn’t it? Somewhere I have photos of the Newport Round Tower, inside and out, including that small arched niche about halfway up the inside of the thing. In the 1940s a runic inscription (translates as “stool” iow “seat”) was discovered on it, and Barry Fell noted that Verrazano (a Florentine explorer in the employ of France) described it as a “Norman tower” (there’s a high level of denial about this) about a century before the English settlement of Rhode Island.

cf. p35 where Vikings could have sailed to Albany NY in 1000`s.
cf Viking timbers discovered near Albany, NY by a farmer, & looked at by NY State Archaeological Dept. but hushed up after that.
Albany Times-Union.

cf. “Celtic” buildings discovered on SW side of Lake George and also hushed up by by NY State Archies. [my brother saw these.]

Also another “Celtic” settlement east of Paradox Lake on the downslope toward Lake Champlain, also hushed up the NY State Archies.
Here they are calling it a “Viking” settlement, or even calling it a “Celtic settlement”

cf also 2008 NY State Archaeological dig 3 miles east of the above wherein a stone wall was discovered that is 1/4 mile long and the NY Archies are calling it a 10,000 year old Aboriginal settlement... except there are no records of Aboriginal Peoples anywhere this area for hundreds of miles building 1/4 mile stone walls.

I have seen this wall myself. Upon enquiry to the NY Archies, I found out that there is no report for this site at all. It s only 100 yards from my farm; so this one is hushed up too.

Also 2 rock inscriptions showing swords, and one with helmeted figure and a curved sword 2 miles east of the
Site near Paradox, and 3 miles east, resp.

Also 5 or 6 large flat rocks with figures and runic?/ inscriptions same area within 25 yards of the swords -

also one mile north of the swords are several rock inscriptions showing north star/big dipper oriented north rock inscriptions
with unknown characters, appear to be sundials.
