“...We have an entire swamp created before Columbus....”
??
I think we had swamps before we had people!
Barry Fell originally a NZ oceanographer by academic training has said similar things. See America B.C. I find some of his claims wishful thinking but I think ancient people were more enterprising about travel then we give them credit for. Look at the Polynesians!
Oak Island - still very skeptical of their claims and the validity of their finds. Why am I that way? It’s TV - Entertainment ! Possibility of fraud is very high! Fraud for entertainment purposes would be their defense. Like pro wrestling! So my threshold on their stuff is pretty high. Still it would be cool if they are proven to be legitimate!
The Oak Island swamp was man made.
It is common on FR to comment before reading articles.
The carry over is commenting on show content without seeing the show.
The previous poster was referring to how the swamp was made by man before Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue. There is a lot of evidence pointing to the Templars sailing to North America long before good ole Chris did.
The people that landed on Hawaii before Captain Cook, are said to be people from South America that “canoed” all the way there. How did the people get to Easter Island? Speaking of South America, a lot of information is being uncovered there as well that has changed what people believe about the Aztecs and Incas and others. Seriously and highly unlikely there is fraud going on with this show given the searcher history with Oak Island.
However they have never done the satellite scan to find metals beneath the soil. Why? This was highlighted in the WWII treasure hunt just recently but I have never heard the Oak Island crew use it. It would be helpful. This satellite tech has been used on the Skinwalker show and the WWII show and some others. This is not to be confused with LIDAR.
You point to the polynesians but it has been established trade routes existed to the northern part of north america long before the vikings. This is evidenced by the mound builders. The Serpent Mound in Ohio gets all the accolades but there are mounds further west in the northern states. Also the Serpent Mound is not unique as there is another in Scotland. Like I said I watch these shows for there historical value not their entertainment purpose although I am entertained from it. That is North American history you won’t find taught in any high school. Some would say the druids from Ireland/England came over in regards to the stone structures found in the North East. This isn’t even including the Land Bridge Theory. Then there is how those stone structures that just happen to align with the solstices rather than be for the use of storage of food. Then you have the monolith that could have been used for human sacrifice, but not sure if that was its actual use. It is shaped like a mortuaries table. So it could have been used for the purpose of blood capture in some fashion. Too much real evidence rather than “circumstantial” evidence pointing to the movement of man due to trade and exploration throughout the ancient world to be glossed over because someone is a naysayer to actual history. Heck, most thought (and some still do) the world was flat and the Earth was the center of the universe. Bah! Get real!
