Hi! Excellent and accesible site, with loads of fun stuff for someone like me, interested in skeptical assesments of fringe claims. I tried the link to Martin J. Clemens site for a discussion of similarities between pyramids in different parts of the world, but it seems his site is no longer active?

Great idea."...the history of the idea matters." I wish more people looked into who wrote what they read. It's been my experience that a lot of people defending the fringe theories don't know word one about the people advancing them. An even handed assessment of the authors is one way to cut through the publicity blurbs on dust jackets.

Great to find this site while in the midst of reading Erik Walgren's book on the Kensington stone. As a science and engineering type, I was thinking that definitive evidence as to the time the Kensington stone was inscribed ought to come from a proper microscopic examination of the markings on the stone. This thinking stems, in part, from having attended years ago a short course taught by Walter McCrone, who founded a well known microscopy firm. McCrone examined the Shroud of Turin, for example. A quick google search led to the syllabus for Anthropology 291, and thence to this site.

The Kensington stone came to my attention while looking for higher than usual interest rates for certificates of deposits, which led to a credit union in Wisconsin, and to join that credit union, one could become a member of a certain non-profit. That non-profit organization had roots in a certain Scandinavian-American who had made donations in support of research on the Kensington stone. I'm of Scandinavian decent, my great-great grandfather having come from Norway, although not as part of the migration to the midwest. Nevertheless, my interest was piqued, and led to Walgren's really well-written, well-researched, and fascinating book.

Back to brass tacks: has any outfit of the stature of the McCrone group (www.mccrone.com) gotten a close, microscopic look at the stone? Among other thoughts, I'm wondering if the chisel marks are distinctive of modern steel as opposed to 14th century implements. Scanning electron microscopy might tell the tale on that, along with doing an elemental analysis to perhaps find evidence of modern steel in any residual fragments shed from the chisel.

Hi Scott, I love your program. Consider the following;

I lived in Jlem from 2007 to 2012. Loved it. But let me share something you. I have been watching this program on the History Program. This man is searching for the lost Ark of the Covenant. Something he said caught my attn. He spoke of a writing in the Maccabees concerning Jeremiah taking the Ark to Mt. Nebo before the destruction of Jlem. He said something wrong he said Jeremiah does not mention the Ark.

Jeremiah 3:16 16In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land," declares the LORD, "people will no longer say, 'The ark of the covenant of the LORD.' It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be made.

Who 'made the Ark'? Was it not Moses. When he brought Tablets down from the mountain, his face shown, glowed - as in the glory of the Lord. But that glory, the Ark and Temple would fade, just as the face of Moses. I say Jeremiah did take the Ark to Mt. Nebo where Moses is buried. And the Ark is hidden with the bones of Moses.

But how could Jeremiah say 'it will not be missed'? People have sought it for 100's of years. The Jews do 'remember, and it has enter their minds.' But for him to say, 'nor will another be made' seems to say - it was destroyed by Babylon. Or, he is saying it will be found! Time to go to Mt. Nebo. And what does the word 'Nebo' mean - nabi and nabah!

Just came across this blog, rather interested to see what I unearth here. The couple articles I've read thus far are intriguing to say the least. Hope I find more fun stuff! :)
