Message----- William: (Subject: markings on a stone found in the Oak Island pit,
ostensibly Coptic. I'm requesting an exact copy if extant.) In
trying to track this "stones'-markings-interchange" I'm a bit
confused and hope someone can weigh in: "Does anyone have a copy of the
script apparently judged as Coptic by early scholars?" Snip William: This system ("Reshel") exists in Nova Scotia;
about five persons have independently discovered most of the grid including its
duplication in the Canadian and US East Coast. If we could do this then it
would be entirely logical that earlier persons, particularly Masons, could
"read the grids" and understand Oak Island's function. Protosiniatic
Hebrew has the grid code and has obviously spanned the ages, since about 1500
BCE, so it is possible that it might have been used mixed in with other
markings. I could determine this if I could see the original exact copy. Well, Bill you cannot…unless you’re even more
talented than I believe you to be… OK maybe an exact copy exists somewhere, but it is
not on the replica stone in Dan Blankenship’s Museum on Oak Island, nor is it
in any of the books – which all print a copy of Dan’s REPLICA Stone. I’m
particularly interested in the real stone, which was dug out of the Money Pit at
the 90’ level in 1804…it has been variously described as being rare and not
native to N.S, but descriptions of size, shape and inscription vary. The Stone
was tossed aside almost immediately, became part of Anthony Grave’s fireplace in
his house on the island in the mid-19th Century, then was used in a printer’s
shop in Halifax till it was worn almost smooth…then it was put on display in the
window of the printers, then it disappeared around 1906 or 08…you’ll have to
forgive my vagueness, this is from memory…Susan Marsh and I are currently cross-referencing
all the OA Books and this info will be at our fingertips, with page numbers in the
various books by January…right now…I can’t even begin to look…I’ll try to pull some
more on the stone…I’m going into R.V. Harris’s personal archives this week, in
particular to see what he has to say about the stone… Bill,
I don’t know Yiddish from Coptic, but I’ll repeat what I said on this list a
month ago – anyone who says they have a copy of what was on the stone is lying,
or should be made to prove where their copy came from…because, there isn’t one –
at least not a true copy that just anyone has access to. Every
one uses this stone as evidence of this or that theory – but the “evidence” has
been missing for more than a century...and no reliable copy of the inscription
exists. Lots of people have copies (I have seen several different versions) but
they’re absolutely not real without a traceable pedigree – and you’re hard
pressed to find someone who will give you that… Sorry…I
can e-mail you a scan off-list from one or more of the books, but Bruce
probably has a pic somewhere… I think
he and I disagree about this…not sure… rob
