I salute you.

What the heck, I'll throw it out there again
Perhaps Travis Tumlinson Did Not carve the stone tablets.

I love it

Thank-you for the info

Hello Joe
Do you know if this stone tablet was given before the life article came out?
Also was his last name Applegate?

Roy You bring up some very good points, I agree with you about the potential damage that fake treasure maps present. I did not think of that aspect. As for the experiment, it is intended to be done as if they were carved in 1847. Locating the right type of sandstone for the Horse/Priest tablet may b...

Hello Roy It is obvious that there is no similarity between the tablets lettering style and that presented in the Nentvig letter, however even if it could be seen as similar it would hardly be related evidence, in my opinion, due to the physical differences in writing a letter and carving letters in...

Hello Roy
I see your point and raise you teo
If you get a chance, check out the style of the crosses on the maps drawn by Juan Nentvige in 1762

Hello Paul I agree with you completely. My opinion as to this whole matter is this; What was true yesterday is not always true today, things change. New evidence should be regarded and considered instead of being rejected outright beacuse it does not conform to the estabilished viewpoint. The amazin...

Hello Paul and Roy The evidence I am presenting is not intended to change anyones opinion I am not that naive :? What it is intended to do is to show you that there is evidence which can be logically interpreted as supporting a contrary opinion as to Polzers position. You don't have to agree with th...

Hello Larry It would seem that Polzer was confused, neither statement; about 19th or 20th century is completely accurate. Your observations of the crosses is correct, the smaller ones were sized to fit. The whole argument about style is hardly appropriate when dealing with simple block type carvings...

OK
Here are the other photos.
This is submitted as evidence contrary to Polzers position, I realize that it is not irrefutable but it is alternative.

Hello to all I am having some trouble downsizing my photos in order to post them here, but I will continue and work out the "Bugs" later. First I want to make it clear that this post is NOT an attack on Charles W. Polzer or his credentials, may he rest in peace. I have a photo of a unique ...

In continuation; We are tlking about trying to pin down a date from 1847 to 1949 for a set of stone tablets which we are not sure where they originated or what they were intended to convey. How can any type of comparison be made that could be considered definative? Did an Indian carve them or a Mula...

Beth Yes I did mean to say that trace analysis IS THE ONLY WAY to determine the age of the stone tablets. Please remember that we are talking about a CRYPTIC SYSTEM. These tablets were never intended for just anyone to be able to read or decipher. This means that any comparison with estabilished cul...

Hello Joe I admit that my comments were harsh and for my lack of finese, I apologize. However one fact remains; There is only one way to determine that the carvings are of recent date, that is by trace analysis. I make my living calibrating these very machines, and even though few people know who I ...

Beth On reading your other post, it seems to me that you are mimmiking Polzer :? What I really want to know is what makes you think that a Geologist is more qualified to analyze these stone tablets than an independent researcher? The last time I checked, which was about 15 minutes ago, the requireme...

Beth
What he actually printed in his booklet was quote" A few years ago a friend of mine, we will call him Jack, a large robust man was working as a policeman in a northern city"

It seems clear that Mitchell made up the name "Jack" in order to keep his real identity a secret.
Alan

I My determination that the engravings were made by power tools was based mostly on the uniformity of the grooves and the single dimple at the beginning of the line. It is my understanding that hand drilling makes several drill holes and then knocks out the rock in between. Machining is not my area ...

Hello Joe I read your post and must admit I am coffused. It strikes me odd that with all the research you and others have done on the history and the stone tablets that you seem to be so easily convinced that the latest about Travis having carved the tablets is true. Is there anything in your achive...

Hello Dan I love your site :D , as for the sherds, I have found numerous sherds and other artifacts from what appears to be early spanish, at a site I discovered which can only be a base camp. I am not familier with batijo or its composition. I studied early indian potery in college and as you know ...

Hello Dan Thank-you for the interest and the link, I know I will enjoy it. As you may know the story of Waltz and the "Facts" around the Lost Dutchman get larger and more numerous every year. The recent so called authentic manuscripts which claim to be the key info and final truth about th...

I hope not, the tortilla factory is my favorite resteraunt

Hello Mike
I do not consider them to be in the same catagory, I accept Ely's information as valid, within the framework of what could be determined as the truth at that time.
The Holmes Manuscript, in my opinion, is a fairy tail.
